Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Chapter 388 Flower Girl

A man with a pockmarked face, a thick beard, wearing a tattered straw hat and coarse clothes was driving a dilapidated carriage pulled by thin horses, walking slowly along the official road.

The left window was broken. A girl was leaning her head against the window sill, her hands resting on the window frame. Her hair was covered with bright red roses, her face was painted deathly white, her breasts were so full they were about to burst, and she was wearing a cheap pink gauze dress.

Inside, another girl was sitting. I couldn't see her face clearly, but I could vaguely make out that her hair was covered with white roses, her face was painted red like a monkey's bottom, and she was wearing a cheap white gauze dress.

The soldiers guarding the city were experienced and knowledgeable. Seeing the girl's attire, they knew that she was a father with two sisters who were prostitutes. They immediately approached her with a chuckle.

The girl was quite tactful; she pulled her sleeves up to her shoulders, revealing several bruises on her fair arms. She addressed him in a coquettish, affected manner, and the soldier, without any hesitation, raised his hand to pinch her cheek.

The horse moved aside, and the carriage moved half a foot away. The soldiers missed pinching the girl's face and were about to change their attitude when a few pieces of silver were stuffed into their hands.

The man's voice was extremely rough: "Sir, business is not good in Bianjing. I heard that Guang Prefecture is building Yinma Ferry. I'm taking my daughter there to take a look."

The soldier took the money, but still wouldn't let it go: "Bianjing has many beauties. No matter how much powder you put on, no one will want your little pockmarked son. It's no wonder your business is bad."

Lu Qing, standing on the city wall, saw that the carriage hadn't moved and shouted, "What's going on?"

As the soldier gestured for the man to leave, he replied, "Sir, they are two courtesans."

Once outside the city gate, the girl by the window immediately rolled down her sleeves and spat, "You lecherous bastard, you still want to touch me!"

The driver laughed and said, "You two should bear with it; you're still not out of danger."

The three were Xu Sheng, Hailuo, and Nianyao in disguise.

Nianyao estimated that they had walked about eight miles, but Xu Sheng still hadn't stopped the car. She couldn't hold back any longer and flung open the curtain: "Hey, are you doing this on purpose?"

Xu Sheng touched his nose, stopped the carriage, and called out, "Can we come out now?"

No one answered. Xu Sheng jumped off the carriage shaft, bent down, and peered under the carriage. His expression immediately changed: "Where...where is everyone?"

Luo An was clearly lying under the car to leave the city, but now he's nowhere to be seen.

Nianyao was shocked. She jumped off the carriage and peered under it, seeing two legs at the back. She went around to the back and saw Luo An sitting by the back door, staring blankly ahead.

Luo An had somehow crawled out from under the car and was sitting at the back.

Nianyao patted her chest and muttered to herself, "That scared me to death! I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so glad you're alright, let's go."

Seeing Nianyao timidly climb back into the carriage, and then looking at Luo An's expression, Xu Sheng advised, "Brother, why don't you sit in the carriage?"

Luo An remained silent and motionless.

Xu Sheng cursed inwardly: You son of a bitch, dressed in silk and sitting in the back of a broken carriage, you're as conspicuous as can be. Do you want us to die not quickly enough?

Xu Sheng dusted off Luo An's clothes, using all the patience he could muster: "Brother, the dust at the back of the car is so thick, it's gotten your clothes all dirty. This car may be old, but the interior is clean and the cushions are soft, it's more comfortable to sit in than outside."

Nianyao slowly opened the back door from the inside, afraid that Luo An would fall if she drove too fast. Luo An bent down and got into the car, not even glancing at Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng was flexible and adaptable, humming a little tune to comfort himself. When the carriage passed by the river, Xu Sheng stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and said: "You all pack up, I'm going to the market town ahead to buy horses and then take the back road."

Conch was the first to jump off the carriage and rush to the riverbank. He took out two large steamed buns wrapped in handkerchiefs from his chest and threw them viciously into the river; then he took off the red flower from his head and stomped it to pieces; finally, he tore off his gauze dress and ripped it into several pieces.

Such a humiliating outfit, just thinking about it makes me sick. Seashell vented her anger before slowly squatting down to wash the makeup off her face.
