Chapter 637: A Familiar Voice
Chapter 637 Familiar Voice
"Who asked you to go out and ride a horse by yourself?" Si Qing rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll squeeze you in? I kindly made room for you, but instead of thanking me, you actually blame me, you little heartless girl!" Xing Wu glanced at Si Qing resentfully and reached for it unhappily.
pastry.
Si Qing decisively took the pastry away: "Since you said I have no conscience, I can't give it to you!"
Xing Wu:……
The carriage stopped and stopped all the way, not traveling very fast. It took almost five days to reach Jinzhou City.
I have to say that the prefecture city is more prosperous than the county city, and the city gates look particularly grand.
Although it was already afternoon when we arrived in Jinzhou City, we could still see business travelers coming and going, various vendors on the street, and the sounds of hawking one after another, which sounded particularly lively.
If this were normal, Si Qing would definitely get out of the car and go shopping happily.
But after riding in the carriage for five whole days, Si Qing had no energy at all.
The carriage bumped along the way, and Si Qing felt that his butt was almost split into eight pieces, and there was nothing good about his whole body.
Others are not doing well either. Jinzhou's territory is mountainous and the distance between towns is far away. Sometimes a day's journey may not make it to the next town to settle down.
In the five days, two nights were spent outside. Although the Secretary Qing's coercion and intimidation meant that he would not encounter wild animals or anything like that, who could sleep well while sleeping in the mountains?
Not to mention the problem of eating. Thanks to Mrs. Wu's thoughtfulness, she prepared a lot of dry food and pickles for Si Qing. Otherwise, following Xing Wu and Magistrate Zhao, he would have starved for nine meals in three days.
Now that we have finally arrived in Jinzhou City, everyone is not in the mood to appreciate the scenery outside. They are all so tired that they wish they could just find a bed and just lie down.
Fortunately, Xing Wu was more thoughtful and asked his servants to find an inn and stay there as soon as they entered the city.
The group had a hasty meal, washed briefly, and went to bed.
After a night of rest, Si Qing felt that he was alive again the next day.
Magistrate Zhao, on the other hand, held his waist when he went downstairs to have breakfast, as if he hadn't recovered yet.
Seeing this made Xing Wu feel worried: "Brother-in-law, is there anything wrong with your waist?"
Magistrate Zhao shook his head: "It's okay. Maybe I sat there for too long. It'll be fine if you take it slow."
"Oh, that's good!" Xing Wu felt slightly relieved. After all, he was still waiting to hold his nephew and niece, and there could be no problem with his brother-in-law's health.
After breakfast, the group was ready to set off to find Xie Shuhe.
Xie Shuhe's family lives in an alley in the west of Jinzhou City.
Before setting off, Xing Wu specifically asked the innkeeper about the distance. The innkeeper said that it would take at least half an hour to walk from here to the west of the city.
Therefore, Xing Wu suggested that it would be better to drive there in a carriage. After all, there were many of them, and Secretary Qing Li Daya was a child, so walking for too long would definitely make him tired.
When Si Qing heard that he wanted to take a carriage again, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he quickly waved his little hand: "You don't need to take a carriage, just walk."
She really had enough riding in the carriage.
Magistrate Zhao didn't really want to take a carriage at the moment, so everyone simply walked there, so that they could experience the prosperity of Jinzhou City along the way.
Along the way, Xing Wu didn't forget to ask passers-by about the location of the alley where Xie Shuhe's family lived, so as not to take the wrong road.
While passing through a street, they happened to encounter an exquisite carriage passing by them. Suddenly, Si Qing heard a slightly familiar voice coming from inside:
"Has the master come back?"
Before she could react, the carriage had already gone away.
Si Qing subconsciously looked back at the carriage.
