The man was about the same age as her, and he gripped his axe tighter, ignoring Song Jiyun completely and instead asked Yuan Yunzhong behind her, "Where are you from? How did you get lost?"
Yuan Yunzhong saw this, took two steps forward, and shielded Song Jiyun behind him, saying, "We're coming from Suzhou Prefecture. When we got out of the carriage for a short break, the coachman took off with our luggage and the mule cart. We've been chasing after him and didn't catch up with the mule cart, and now we don't even know where we are!"
The man sized them up the entire time Yuan Yunzhong was talking.
