Chen Shou said to Shi Dami with a sincere look: "Dami, let the waiter continue to tie me up, so that you can feel more at ease."
Shi Dami waved his hand quickly, with a sincere tone.
"Brother Chen, forget it. After all these things, I trust you very much now. How can I still do this?"
Chen Shou insisted on doing this and said seriously: "Dami, let's do this. I have to make you feel at ease."
After saying that, he turned to look at the waiter and asked him to help lift the bed to the door. He then helped Shi Dami to sleep on the bed at the door. Then he continued, "Dami, you sleep here. If I have any movement, you will know it immediately, so as to prevent me from running around. Just sleep with peace of mind, and I will be here to guard you."
Seeing this, Shi Dami felt moved again, her eyes were wet. Although she wanted to persuade her again, she knew that Chen Shou had decided, so she stopped talking and lay down, feeling the brotherhood in trouble.
The waiter acted as he said, then picked up the rope, and tied Chen Shou up again with skillful movements but as light as possible.
After tied up, he carefully checked the knot to make sure it was firm and not too tight.
Everything was settled, the candlelight in the house gradually faded, and the quiet atmosphere enveloped the small room.
The waiter wrapped in a thin quilt and found a relatively comfortable position on the ground. Shi Dami leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes, and Chen Shou stood quietly by the bedside, tied up without complaints.
Soon, the three of them slowly fell asleep in this simple but unique warm little house. The occasional slight sounds from outside the house seemed to have become a different lullaby of this night.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the waiter quietly stood up. Recalling the arrogant and unreasonable man last night, the anger in his heart "spooky" rose. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he secretly made up his mind to clean up the guy.
He found a dagger in the room, held it tightly in his hand, his eyes were determined, and he tiptoed out of the room.
Shi Dami slept lightly. After hearing the movement, she woke up in a daze. Seeing the waiter's posture, she hurriedly asked, "Little brother, what are you going to do?"
The waiter gritted his teeth and replied, "I want to kill that beast, I can't just make him cheap!"
After saying that, he moved the bed blocking the door away and walked out quickly.
But when he arrived at the house occupied by the man last night, he opened the door and saw that the house was empty and there was no trace of the man. He probably had sneaked away before dawn.
The waiter was stunned, full of resentment and had nowhere to vent his anger. His hands holding the dagger trembled slightly, and he looked painful and upset, so he had to return to his room with a dejected look.
As soon as he entered the room, he threw the dagger on the table and sat on the stool, with his face full of reluctance and depression.
On the other side, Zhao Qiang and the coachman were sitting in the corner of the inn. The tea on the table had been changed into several pots, and the two were still waiting quietly.
In short, several days have passed.
Zhao Qiang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and broke the silence first, and talked about what happened on the city tower yesterday.
"I've found out clearly. That female boss is not simple. She is the Prime Minister's friend. With this relationship, no wonder she can get the Prime Minister to help and deal with those troubles."
After hearing this, the coachman couldn't help but feel emotion, sighed softly, and echoed: "Yes, I used to hear people saying 'There are people in the city who are easy to be officials'. I didn't take it seriously yet. Now, looking at this situation, it's really so reasonable. Sometimes, this connection is more useful than anything else."
As they said that, they shook their head thoughtfully, and the two of them continued to talk about this topic again, and their words were filled with sighs about the world and human feelings.
Zhao Qiang frowned, looked worried, and his hands unconsciously rubbed the teacup, muttering to himself: "I don't know if the person who sent me a message has not seen the Prime Minister yet, and the Prime Minister has not summoned us. Will there be any changes in this?"
But the coachman waved his hand indifferently, leaned on the back of the chair, and said leisurely: "Oh, don't worry about it. You don't have to worry about food or accommodation here. How comfortable it is. Why don't we worry about that? We don't have to work hard to make money. What a great thing."
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he gave him annoyed look and scolded him with a grudge: "You, you are really unpromising. It is temporary that we can enjoy the leisure here. You can't always rely on others. What's the situation behind you? You're fine, just thinking about the comfort in front of you, and not thinking about the long-term things."
After hearing Zhao Qiang's words, the coachman was stunned for a moment, then laughed, scratched his head and said, "That's right, I really have no long-term plan. But I don't think you need to worry too much. What kind of person is the Prime Minister? He is busy with everything. Whenever he has time to summon us, he will naturally come here. It's useless to be anxious here, right? It's better to relax and wait."
As he said that, he picked up the teacup and started drinking it slowly. His leisurely look as if he really didn't take this matter too seriously.
On the other side, Chen Shou looked at Shi Dami with concern and asked softly: "Dami, how are you feeling now?"
Shi Dami sat up, moved her body for a while, and replied with a smile: "I feel much better, I occasionally have a little cough, but it doesn't matter. Let's continue on the road."
Chen Shou still looked worried and said hesitantly: "If it's not done well, let's stay for another day. It's not too late to take a while. It's not too late to take care of your body and leave after you have already taken care of it."
Shi Dami said: "There is no need for that, it's just a few coughs. Besides, the weather is not cold now and it won't aggravate the condition. We can't delay our trip anymore."
Seeing that he had made up his mind and knew that it was useless to persuade him, Chen Shou nodded helplessly, got up to help pack up his things, and then supported Shi Dami, stepped out of the room together, and continued on the journey.
Along the way, Chen Shou's eyes fell on Shi Dami from time to time, for fear that he would have something to do.
On that afternoon, the two of them were running all the way, and they were almost approaching Youzhou.
Shi Dami paused, his expression became serious, and he said to Chen Shou: "We have to find a place to put on makeup first. If Xi Yu recognizes it, it will be a big trouble. Then we will liar that I am your follower, so it will be easy to get away with it."
Chen Shou hurriedly asked, "Do you know where there is a place to put on makeup?"
Shi Dami nodded slightly and said confidently: "I know. I have lived nearby for a while before and are quite familiar with the surrounding area. I remember that there is a place, just follow me."
After saying that, he raised his foot and led the way. Chen Shou hurriedly followed, and the two walked quickly towards the place where they could put on makeup, and were vigilantly paying attention to the movements around them along the way.
Shi Dami took Chen Shou to walk on the winding path for a long time and finally found the makeup place located in a remote mountain village.
The village is not big, and it exudes a sense of tranquility and simplicity.
Shi Dami said that the person in charge of makeup was an old man, with a hunchbacked figure, wearing a white-washed dress, standing there like an ordinary old country farmer, inconspicuous.
The two followed the route in Shi Dami's memory and soon arrived at a residence, but found a lock hanging on the gate, and it was obvious that the owner was not at home.
Shi Dami thought for a while and turned to Chen Shou and said, "It seems that the master has gone out. Don't wait. Go to the field to look for it first. Maybe he is busy there."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked towards the field, and Chen Shou followed closely behind.
The two of them quickly walked into the field and saw an old man bent over and working in the field.
Shi Dami hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and shouted loudly: "Old man, do you still remember me?"
The old man raised his head when he heard the sound. After seeing it, he saw that it was Shi Dami. A ray of surprise flashed in his turbid eyes, his face was full of smiles, and he quickly stood up and responded: "Oh, it's you, Dami! How could I not remember it?"
It turned out that one time before, Shi Dami passed by here, and happened to see the old man staggering and almost falling to the ground. Shi Dami was quick-eyed and quickly stepped forward to support him.
Since then, the old man felt grateful to Shi Dami, and felt that this man was kind-hearted and had a special affection for him.
At this moment, the old friends reunited, and the joy was so great.
Shi Dami smiled and introduced to the old man: "Old man, this is my good friend, named Chen Shou."
When Chen Shou heard this, he hurriedly nodded slightly to the old man, with a kind smile on his face.
When the old man saw this, he became happier. The wrinkles on his face stretched out and said enthusiastically: "Oh, I won't work now. Come with me quickly, take a drink of water and take a rest."
Shi Dami nodded happily and agreed.
Then, the two followed the old man home.
When he arrived at home, he had just sat down and drank a few sips of water. Shi Dami told the purpose of this trip, looked at the old man with anticipation and said, "Old man, we are here this time to ask you to help us put on makeup. I remember last time I learned that you were proficient in this makeup technique, so I took the liberty to come and ask for your help. I hope you can agree."
After hearing Shi Dami's request, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said in embarrassment: "Oh, I haven't fiddled with this makeup for a long time. I'm afraid my hands are very unfamiliar, I'm afraid I can't dress you well."
Seeing this, Shi Dami hurriedly said earnestly: "Old man, please help. If you have any needs, no matter how much currency it is, you can just speak."
The old man waved his hand and responded sincerely: "What are you saying? Since you and me have this fate, why bother talking about money? I am really worried that my hand will not be effective in despairing your business."
Chen Shou also advised, "Old man, just promise him. We must be trusting your skills. Even if you are a little unfamiliar, it doesn't matter. You can't help but think that you are using this skill again and help us."
After hearing the two of them, the old man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, and agreed.
He turned around and went into the inner room, muttering: "Then I'll go and prepare first."
Soon, he took out the makeup tools that had been put on for a long time and placed them on the table.
Then, he looked at Shi Dami and asked, "Dami, what do you want to put on makeup? Tell me about your general requirements."
Shi Dami didn't care and said, "Old man, it doesn't matter. As long as I can change my face and make others unable to recognize it, there is nothing else to pay attention to."
The old man responded, and while starting to sort out the tools, he couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, looked at them, scratched his head and asked, "What are you doing with such a lot of effort to put on makeup? I'm quite curious."
His face was full of curiosity and confusion, and his eyes looked back and forth on the two of them.
The old man was really worried and thought to himself, but not because they had done anything, so he thought of changing his appearance to avoid investigation, and his expression on his face became a little solemn.
Shi Dami probably saw the old man's concerns and quickly explained with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, we have not done anything, there are some special circumstances, and we need to do this. You, don't ask too much, as it will not be beneficial to you if you ask too much."
After hearing this, the old man was skeptical, but seeing Shi Dami's words so sincerely, hesitated for a moment, and responded "Oh", then stopped asking more questions, and began to concentrate on preparing to put on their makeup.
After a while, the old man stopped the movements in his hand and said to Shi Dami with satisfaction: "Dami, look, you have completely changed now. No one can recognize him if you keep it."
Then, the old man took another mirror and handed it to Shi Dami, and said with a smile: "Look at it yourself, see if you are satisfied."
Shi Dami hurriedly took the mirror and looked at it carefully. Looking at the unfamiliar self in the mirror, she couldn't help but admire the old man's superb skills and a look of joy appeared on her face.
"Old man, your skills are really superb. I almost don't know myself anymore, so I feel much more at ease now."
After hearing this, the old man smiled and waved his hand modestly.
When Shi Dami said he wanted to give the old man some money as reward, the old man shook his head like a rattle, resolutely refused to accept it, and said with a serious expression: "Dami, if you do this, you will look down on me. We are talking about fate, and talking about money will be vulgar. I am willing to help you, and I can't accept this money."
Seeing that the old man was so persistent, Shi Dami knew that it would not be appropriate to force him, so he had to give up and no longer ask the old man to accept the currency.
After everything was cleaned up, the two of them were ready to say goodbye and leave.
The old man enthusiastically kept him and said, "You guys leave now. Don't stay for a while, drink some water and take a rest."
Chen Shou hurriedly bowed and said, "Old man, we have appreciated your kindness, but we still have important things to do, so we really don't dare to delay too much. We have to hurry up and come to visit you again if we have the opportunity to do so someday."
After saying that, he thanked the old man again with Shi Dami, then raised his foot and walked out of the house and continued to walk towards Youzhou. The old man stood at the door and kept looking at their backs until he could not see it before turning back to the house.
On that day, the sun shone through the window in the office of Youzhou College. Wenxuan sat there, his face full of pride.
After class, many teachers gathered together to chat, and the topic naturally touched on what happened on the city tower yesterday. During this chat, everyone learned about the news of Wenxuan's new store.
At this time, a teacher came over with a smile on his face and said to Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, congratulations. I didn't expect you to open a new store. This is a happy event. We are discussing giving you a membership, and then going to have a drink together to celebrate."
Wenxuan waved his hand and responded calmly: "Oh, we don't like this. I appreciate everyone's kindness, but don't do this. Even the Prime Minister had this plan before, but I rejected it. As long as he had the idea, there was no need to do these red tape."
After saying that, he smiled and bowed to everyone, his expression seemed very free and easy.
Seeing that Wenxuan was determined, the teachers didn't want to say anything more, so they nodded with a funny look and left the office one after another.
But Lu Su walked in.
Wenxuan asked, "Teacher Lu, do you have anything else?"
Lu Su frowned slightly and said seriously: "Wenxuan, I'm still a little worried about you. You must not spend all your time in the store and delay the work at the school."
Wenxuan heard this and quickly smiled and comforted, "Just be happy, of course I know which end is light and which end is heavy. I will definitely not miss the school matters. They will arrange them properly and will not miss the serious business because of the store. Don't worry."
Lu Su then felt relieved and nodded.
Finally, Chen Shou and Shi Dami arrived at the Youzhou transit.
The soldiers had actually received Xi Yu's instructions long ago, and they knew in their hearts that Chen Shou would come.
Xi Yu had previously told them that when they saw Chen Shou, they must pretend to know nothing. After all, Chen Shou was still following others.
Chen Shou calmed down, stepped forward, bowed to the soldiers guarding the transit, and said sincerely: "My gentlemen, my name is Chen Shou. I have something to ask for when I came here. In the past, the Prime Minister hoped that I could come and surrender, but I was still hesitant at that time. Now I have already decided to come and surrender. I hope that all gentlemen will give me some convenience and let me in."
After hearing this, the soldiers exchanged glances with each other and began to look at Chen Shou up and down.
One of the soldiers said with a serious expression: "You wait here first. I have to report a letter to the Prime Minister to see what the Prime Minister means before I decide whether to let you go in."
Chapter completed!
