Young Master Yan San was right. Lujiazhuang was indeed very close to the county seat, but it was only twenty miles away. After lunch, they arrived not long after walking.
"I hope I can stay in this city longer."
Ye Chuqiu got off the carriage, looked at the city in front of him, and said something.
The journey was really exhausting both physically and mentally. She really wanted to find a place to settle down.
It was the afternoon, and there were not many people entering the city. Soon it was Ye Chuqiu's turn.
Just when they were about to enter the city, Lin Qingyun ran over from behind and stopped Ye Chuqiu, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Sister-in-law, there's something urgent at home. Let's go and talk first."
In front of the soldiers guarding the city, Lin Qingyun couldn't say much. He only used his eyes to signal Ye Chuqiu to go to the side to talk.
Ye Chuqiu looked suspicious, and the soldiers guarding the city on the side became impatient, "Will you enter the city or not? If you don't enter the city, don't block the road."
"We won't go into the city for the time being. We will waste the time of the two policemen."
Lin Qingyun said something, walked over, and led the cow to the side. Lin Dahu and others had no choice but to follow him and walk far away.
Lin Qingyun stopped when he saw that he was far enough away from the city gate and there were no pedestrians around. Ye Chuqiu also asked: "Qingyun, what is going on? You are so nervous."
"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten? We are in Dingyun City..."
Lin Qingyun looked around and saw no one around, so he dared to whisper: "If Shopkeeper Yitian and the others die, then we are fugitives. This Jiahe County is so close to Dingyun City. If we go in, wouldn't we be surrendering ourselves to a trap?"
?”
"Isn't the court's investigation of the case not so strict?"
Ye Chuqiu said: "Shopkeeper Tian and the others are not good people to begin with, and I think those officials in Dingyun City are just as good as nothing. How can they take care of this?"
Although she has the memory of the original owner of this ancient time, the original owner has been staying in the countryside since he got married, so he really doesn't have much knowledge.
"Who knows? If the two of them are really dead, it would be a big case, and we say they are evil people, but we have no evidence? On the contrary, we wiped out their shop, and if Shouhou testifies, we will be beaten by them
It is not impossible to track him down as a suspect."
Speaking of the latter part, Lin Qingyun's voice became lower and lower. He was originally a dutiful and innocent farmer. How could he not be afraid when encountering such a thing?
The reason he dared to do that before was because they had just experienced a riot in Nanyang City and killed many bandits. Their courage suddenly increased. However, Jiahe County looked like a peaceful and peaceful county. He did not dare to enter the city.
Take risks.
"The Fulai Inn is a remote place. Except for shopkeeper Tian, his wife, and Shouhou, no one else knows us. Even if they meet us accidentally, they will soon forget it."
Ye Chuqiu said: "As long as we go into the city separately, no one will know us. There are so many people in our group, I don't think even the thin monkey can tell us apart."
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but what if someone recognizes you?" Lin Qingyun was still very worried.
"Your worries are not unreasonable. If this is the case, then we won't go into the city." Ye Chuqiu thought for a while and said.
"Not going into the city?" Lin Qingyun was overjoyed, and Ye Chuqiu said: "You take them around outside the city, and I'll go to the city to buy some things and inquire about the news, and then we'll find a place near Jiahe County.
What do you think of living in a remote village?
As time goes by, this matter will gradually fade away, and it will definitely become an unsolved case that no one cares about.
And as time goes by, our children have grown up, and our appearance has also changed. Even if the thin monkey stands in front of us, we may not recognize it. What's more, after coming out of Dingyun City, we may not know it for the rest of our lives.
I can’t even meet the skinny monkey anymore.”
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. I also think we should find a remote village to settle down, but..."
Lin Qingyun was about to speak but stopped.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Sister-in-law, we think that since we have to run away, it's better to run a little further. We'll have to run two more cities to feel at ease." Li Youmei answered the conversation from the side. Thinking about it, the two of them didn't think much about it on the way.
Jiahe County was too close to Dingyun City. They had been delayed in Lujiazhuang for so long, but they arrived in Jiahe County only on the afternoon of the third day.
If we don't delay in Lujiazhuang, we can arrive the next day.
If the speed were faster, it would only take a day.
With such a close distance, if Dingyun City really sent someone over, they might not even need a day at full speed. No wonder everyone felt scared.
Ye Chuqiu turned around and saw their worried faces. He sighed slightly and said, "Okay, since everyone is worried, let's not go to Jiahe County. How about we continue moving forward?"
"Okay, okay."
As soon as Ye Chuqiu told them to move forward, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Ye Chuqiu, a talented artist, would be brave and not believe in evil, so he would insist on living nearby.
"Dani, can you still bear it now that your belly is full?" Ye Chuqiu turned to ask Dani. She was the most worrying person in the team now.
"It's okay, auntie, I can leave."
Dani nodded. Although Da Bao asked her to hide in the room that day, she also knew what happened. Therefore, she did not dare to enter the city and wanted to run far away.
"Then continue on your way." Ye Chuqiu smiled, "You guys keep going forward. I'll go to the city to buy a map and I'll catch up soon."
If there was no map and they didn't know the way, Ye Chuqiu was afraid that they would go in circles on the road. However, it was the same as before. The original three-day journey took them eight or ten days. With the map, they could take the nearest road.
Already.
"Sister-in-law, you have to hurry up."
"Don't worry, you go first, I'll be there later."
Ye Chuqiu waved to everyone, and when she saw them picking up their bags and moving on, she headed towards the city.
Jiahe County also requires a city fee, but it is not expensive, only two cents per person. However, for people like Ye Chuqiu who have no roads, people will directly stop her from entering.
"Oh, whose money fell on the floor."
Seeing this, Ye Chuqiu could only use his money-dispensing ability, threw a piece of silver on the ground, then picked it up and put it into the hands of the soldiers guarding the city, "Did Master Cha drop this money?"
"yes."
The soldiers guarding the city were stunned, but they still accepted the money and let Ye Chuqiu in.
After entering the city, Ye Chuqiu asked the passers-by and went straight to the nearest grocery store. When she arrived at the grocery store, she bought two maps, then bought a load of food, and left in a hurry.
This time when she came to Jiahe County, she didn't go anywhere. She bought something and left.
After coming out of the city, she quickly caught up with Lin Dahu and the others, and the group continued on the road.
