Lin Nan felt very excited and strange. Even though Qinghe Town and Kyoto were not far apart, there were still many differences.
It is said that this road will pass through a long no-man's land. Lin Nanyi secretly geared up and felt a little excited.
After lunch was ready, she baked some pancakes and grilled some of the dried meat Gu prepared for her. It was a rich meal.
After eating, we went straight on the road without resting. Although everyone had the intention of walking slowly, we were still in the wild, so we still had to be careful. We had to calculate the time and rush to the next town before dark.
The carriage was swaying, which made Lin Nan's eyes blurry. Zuo's carriage was too big, and the interior of the carriage was softly paved, so he could not feel the bumps at all. Lin Nan leaned to the side and was drowsy from the shaking.
sleep.
Seeing this, Zuo ordered the convoy to move slower and asked Lin Nanyi to have a good rest. She felt very sorry for her. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Nanyi was a strong woman who dominated the shopping mall, but Zuo didn't see any of this and only looked at her.
See the blue eyes and exhaustion under her eyes.
She is only a teenager, but she has already taken on the responsibility of supporting a family of dozens of people inside and outside.
Her teenage years were spent in the sweetness of being married and arriving in the White House for the first time.
As the daughter of a great scholar, she had never encountered any hardships in her life. If her youngest daughter had not died in infancy more than ten years ago, she would have felt that she had lived a particularly happy life.
Zuo sighed, her thoughts going back to more than ten years ago, her eyes unable to hide her loneliness and sadness.
After Yan Wenzhi and Bai Yun watched them leave, they simply packed their bags and left the city without stopping.
No one knows where they are going or what they are going to do.
When Lin Nan woke up, it was almost Unit Time. He had slept very comfortably. Only when he woke up did he realize that he had been leaning on Zuo for some time.
I quickly got up, I must have been numb after leaning on it for so long.
"Mom, let me rub it for you."
Lin Nanyi always calls Zuo's mother when no one else is around, which can be regarded as eliminating the regrets of the two of them in this regard.
Seeing Zuo moving his feet with difficulty, no matter how big the carriage was, there was no room for activities outside.
Lin Nan sat up straight and began to slowly rub Zuo's legs.
"Yiyi is most considerate. Wen Zhi is lucky to find someone as good as you."
When Lin Nan heard this, he couldn't help but think of Bai Yun's attitude towards Yan Wenzhi.
From being the most proud student at the beginning, to later seeing that nothing was wrong, and now to letting him learn as much as possible.
The proper mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him. The father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at him, the more dissatisfied he becomes.
Bai Yun always made more demands on Yan Wenzhi than other students, and Yan Wenzhi readily accepted it. Bai Yun did not teach others easily.
Under Bai Yun's guidance, he can be regarded as a leader among his peers.
Bai Yun knew that he intended to enter the court, so he taught him everything he could, and would take him with him if there were matters in the court that needed to be dealt with.
Let him feel it in advance.
Lin Nanyi and he both knew Bai Yun's good intentions for him.
Therefore, Yan Wenzhi also studied as much as possible to pave the way for the imperial examination in the future.
On the first night, they rested in the woods. The guards were divided into two teams, one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night. Bai Yi, Baiyin and Nanny rested in a carriage behind them.
Lin Nanyi and Zuo were in a carriage, arranging all the things in the carriage. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bed, and the bed was quite small.
Lin Nanyi and Zuo were lying in the carriage. This was the look Zuo had dreamed of most.
Her daughter was soft and leaning in her arms. No matter where they went, they were together.
What a pity, what a pity.
Later, she thought she would never feel such happiness. Unexpectedly, Lin Nanyi appeared and gave her hope, warmth and love.
Maybe others will think that they secretly helped Lin Nanyi become like this.
In fact, she had never helped her secretly. When they met, she was already very good.
But she is not satisfied with this, she is still working hard to become better.
"Mom, I'm so happy to be in your arms."
This is a happiness that cannot be felt with Gu.
Mrs. Gu was also very kind to her, but there were still some differences between her mother and mother-in-law.
Lin Nan rubbed it and held Zuo's hand together with a satisfied look on his face.
"Mom is also very happy."
Zuo felt her heart swell, filled with Lin Nanyi's love.
Rather than saying that she warmed Lin Nanyi, it was better to say that Lin Nanyi warmed her.
She wouldn't be able to feel this feeling with the next person.
It was a very comfortable sleep. The next day, the sound of grandma lighting a fire woke Lin Nan up.
Seeing that Zuo was still breathing evenly, Lin Nan tiptoed out of the carriage, stretched before walking towards Grandma.
"Miss, are you awake? Did Madam sleep peacefully last night?"
Every time I traveled before, Zuo always had trouble sleeping when sleeping outdoors.
"It's pretty good. I didn't wake up all night and I'm still asleep now."
Lin Nan took the spoon from her hand and stirred the porridge in the pot.
Grandma's eyes suddenly turned red and her voice was sobbing. Even if Zuo was in the house, she hadn't had such a good sleep for a long time.
I still have to thank Lin Nanyi for all this.
Everyone walked softly and tried not to disturb Zuo.
Half an hour later, she finally woke up. Seeing that Lin Nan was not around, she instinctively called her name.
Lin Nan was not far away and immediately responded loudly when he heard it.
This kind of response gave Zuo a great sense of satisfaction.
Zuo packed up the carriage and got out. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and formed dots on the ground.
Upon seeing this, grandma hurried forward to serve, "Madam, you slept well last night."
Zuo was stunned for a moment. Looking back on last night, she couldn't remember anything. She only knew that she didn't even dream.
With Yiyi, everything is really going in a good direction, even her.
Suddenly feeling a little excited, I held grandma's hand tightly and said, "Sleep well, sleep well."
Grandma is an old grandma who has been with Zuo for more than ten years. She knows everything about her. I was worried about her poor sleep but there was nothing I could do. I have exhausted all the medicines that can be used, but it still has no effect. Unexpectedly
, the real antidote is miss.
After dinner, we embarked on the journey to Beijing again. After today's walk, we have probably passed one-third of the journey.
This section of the road today is the most difficult.
However, Lin Nanyi only now knew that the guards following them were the secret guards Bai Yun placed beside Zuo to protect her.
Ordinary families can't afford to keep secret guards, and even if they can, most of them only have five or six for the main family's use.
However, Bai Yun gave the Zuo family a dozen secret guards, which is enough to show the strength of the Bai family.
They didn't dare to stop along the way. They hadn't been to Beijing for more than ten years and hadn't walked this road before, so they didn't know the situation. In order to avoid danger as much as possible, they had to walk through this no-man's land as quickly as possible.
In front of it is a large forest. The trees are so dense that sunlight can hardly penetrate. There is only a small narrow road for a carriage to travel.
Because there is an official road here instead, most people choose to take the official road. The vegetation here has not been damaged and is growing more lush.
It's just that the official road goes around other villages and towns. If there is an official road, the journey will be two days further.
So they chose to take this path.
I didn't expect it to be so dense, making it difficult to get down.
There were guards on both sides of the carriage to clear the way. As soon as they entered the woods, they felt a chill all over their body. Lin Nan shivered unconsciously.
Zuo put a cloak on Lin Nanyi and held her hand to warm her up.
“There are fewer people walking this road, and it’s even more deserted.”
As soon as Lin Nan opened the car curtain and looked up, the branches of all kinds of big trees were growing wildly above his head, and he couldn't even see the sky at all.
Somewhat dark and damp.
Lin Nanyi didn't like this kind of environment very much. It always gave people a feeling of oppression, so he had to tell him to hurry up and get out of the woods.
However, there were many vines growing out of the roadside and entwining each other. The two guards never put down their long swords. Even so, their speed could not be increased.
The further you walk into the woods, the more humid the air becomes. This is the best environment for the growth of poisonous animals in the woods.
The baggage Lin Nanyi carried contained common antidotes that she had recently developed with great pains. There was a carriage behind it, which also brought a lot of lime.
Lime can inhibit the approach of most wild animals, which is a relatively useful method.
Thinking about this, I suddenly heard a rustling sound.
Lin Nan's alarm went off in an instant, and he quickly asked someone to carry out the box containing lime, and each of them covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Start spreading lime all over the road.
"Yiyi, what does this mean?"
"There is a snake."
Zuo was in poor health, and her hearing was also worse than before. She did not hear any strange noises coming from the grass.
But she heard it, it was the sound of snakes scurrying in the grass, and the sound of the rattlesnake's tail.
Rattlesnakes are highly venomous, and in this era, there is no concept of serum detoxification.
If you are bitten by such a snake, you can only wait for death.
As for her, all she needs now is to prevent the group of people from being bitten.
From the sound of the noise, it seemed that there was more than one snake. There was a constant rustling sound in the grass next to the carriage, which made people panic.
Even though Zuo has no experience in surviving in the wild, she still feels nervous now that everyone is on edge.
"It's okay, Mom, I will protect you."
Zuo was moved in her heart, "If you want to protect me, I will protect you as a mother."
There was movement outside, and it seemed like someone was getting off the carriage behind.
A moment later, Bai Yi opened the car curtain. She and Lin Nan looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity. She also knew that it was the sound of a snake.
She knew this snake, and basically no one could escape from its mouth.
"Has the lime started to be spread?"
Lin Nan forced himself to calm down.
Now Zuo was in a panic, not to mention she rarely left the house, let alone come to a place like this. Now she had to stand up and be the backbone of these people.
"It's already started. Baiyin is behind to protect grandma, and I'm here to protect the lady."
Lin Nanyi didn't refuse. Bai Yi had martial arts skills, which was better than those of them who didn't even have any tricks.
Bai Yi did not enter the carriage, but sat on the carriage frame with the escort driving the carriage, looking around with sharp eyes.
