In just an instant, the cart carrying Shu Yu and the head official had disappeared without a trace.
The Shu family members screamed, "Ah, the cart ran away! Quick, chase after it!"
Chase after it? How could they? The mule was running like crazy, and the head official struggled to hold onto the reins, but it was futile.
Watching the mule become increasingly agitated, the head official's palms were already covered in blood from the strain of pulling on the reins.
He quickly handed a bunch of keys to Shu Yu, saying, "Miss, quickly unlock the chains on the prisoner wagon. If this mule can't stop, we'll have to jump off."
"Alright."
Shu Yu grabbed onto the bamboo railing with one hand and took the keys from the head official with the other. She steadied herself, grabbed the chains on the wagon door, and found the lock.
However, just as the head official handed the keys to Shu Yu, he became distracted and didn't notice the large stone ahead.
The mule crossed over the stone, but the cart's wheels hit it hard, causing a violent jolt. The head official, already in pain and bleeding from his palms, couldn't hold on and fell straight under the cart.
Shu Yu's face turned pale. "Big Brother Official?"
The head official fell off the cart and rolled on the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented. It took him a while to regain his senses.
However, when he looked ahead, there was no trace of the cart.
Not only was there no cart, but what terrified him even more was that the bunch of keys he had handed to Shu Yu had fallen on the ground not far away.
This was bad, really bad.
Meng Yunzheng arrived on his horse and saw the head official with blood dripping from his forehead.
His face turned grave, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Shu Yu?"
Upon seeing him, the head official felt relieved and immediately pointed ahead, saying, "The mule went out of control and ran ahead. Hurry and chase after it. Also, the keys, the key to the shackles, it fell on the ground."
Meng Yunzheng paid him no attention. He shook the reins and ran in the direction the head official pointed.
As he passed by the keys, he leaned slightly, almost lying on the horse's back, and grabbed the keys in his hand without even stopping.
Seeing this, the head official finally felt at ease and passed out.
But Shu Yu in front was obviously not at ease. She looked at her empty palm and muttered a curse under her breath.
The intense jolt from earlier not only threw the head official off, but the bunch of keys she was about to insert into the lock also flew out.
Now, not only was there no one controlling the mule, but she herself was trapped inside the prisoner wagon and couldn't get out.
Stay calm, stay calm. Shu Yu took a deep breath, no longer caring about where the mule was heading. She turned around, leaned against the wagon door, and kicked hard towards one side.
Luckily, the wagon was made of bamboo, and fortunately, when her father made it, he made it aesthetically pleasing, so the bamboo was not very thick. Some parts were even delicately carved.
Shu Yu tried to break the bamboo, and fortunately, she had great strength.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The sounds came one after another as Shu Yu exerted all her strength at the precise spots.
However, due to the severe jolting of the cart, she couldn't concentrate her strength, and several attempts missed the mark.
Moreover, the noise and commotion seemed to further agitate the mule in front, making it even more frantic.
Shu Yu gasped for breath. "Big Brother, please calm down, or we'll both lose our lives."
She continued kicking, but soon, the mule led her into a forest where branches were growing haphazardly. Even sitting inside the prisoner wagon, Shu Yu was scratched several times.
However, what was even more deadly was still to come.
I can understand the importance of carrying documents as quickly as possible, but in an era where it takes weeks to go from one region to another, delaying five minutes to avoid fatal accidents doesn't seem like a big loss to me... Definitely a problem less than breaking your neck and DO NOT carry any documents if the courier collides with anything larger than a cart
