At dawn, everyone got up, got on the carriage and drove forward. After finding the direction, they would be able to leave the forest soon.
They must seize the time. Those people are sure that the beasts will come down the mountain to eat people. They will definitely come at dawn. If they leave late, they will encounter them again. This time, it will not be so easy to escape.
The driver was still very good at recognizing directions, and he quickly found the correct direction. It was already dawn, but they had already left the woods.
Wenbo was very familiar with the road to Yun'an County. He stayed at an inn when he came, and there was no problem, so they successfully stayed at the inn that day.
We have been traveling for a whole day, and I don’t think those people will come after me again, but we cannot take it lightly.
The fact that thieves and bandits can occupy an inn and rob them means that the public security regulations are ineffective. If that group of thieves and bandits is left behind, who knows if they will encounter others?
Fortunately, nothing happened that night, and we set off again early the next morning.
Wenbo said, "We can reach Yun'an County today, and it will be much safer when we get to our residence."
The few people didn't dare to delay, so they hurried slowly and entered the county seat of Yun'an County in the afternoon.
Although it is a county town, it does not look as good as Yonghe Town. It is dilapidated and dilapidated. Almost all the businesses on the street are closed and few are open.
Even if the door is open, business is bleak and there are not many customers.
There are refugees, beggars, and young girls with straw marks on their heads on the roadside. They are selling themselves into slavery so that they can bury their relatives.
Chen Zhongqian was so frightened that he put down the curtain and stopped looking. Although he knew he couldn't escape, he was very tired now and really didn't want to torture himself anymore.
Lin Yuxi noticed many mountains around him and said curiously, "The county seat of Yun'an County seems to be surrounded by mountains."
Uncle Wen nodded, "Yes, the county seat was built in a ravine. I heard the old man said it was for good intentions and to be protected by the mountain gods. But the result was not good. When the enemy came, they could ambush in the mountains and they couldn't escape."
.”
This is really the case, and it is close to the border. Once the enemy comes, there is no choice but to wait to be bullied.
When it was originally built, it was probably relatively far away from other countries. Who knew that with the change of dynasties and the loss of territory, it would be close to the border fortress.
We walked for a long time in the county town before we arrived at the place. Wen Bo got off the car first, pointed to the house in front of him and said, "This is the house for the magistrate. It has been almost two years since the last magistrate left. The house is a bit messy, but today only
You can live here now."
Chen Zhongqian said, "It will be fine when we get to the residence, and we will clean up later."
Lin Xixi took a look and saw that there were indeed many mountains. The magistrate's residences were built with their backs to the mountains, and the backyard seemed to be directly accessible from the mountains.
This is very dangerous, but it also has advantages. You can go up the mountain at any time. The enemy can hide in the mountain, why can't you?
The house was quite big, with only an old servant guarding it. He was still hard of hearing. Uncle Wen spoke to him in the loudest voice. Only then did he realize that there was a new magistrate. He hurriedly took the keys and opened various courtyards.
Door.
The old servant was so excited that his back was a little stooped, but he still ran all the way. It was sad to see, but also a little happy.
After everything was unloaded from the carriage, Chen Zhongqian said, "You two will stay here for two days. Once I understand the situation, I will see if I can arrange for someone to take you off or take another route."
The driver nodded, "Okay, thank you Chen Tanhua."
Anyway, I've been out for so long, so it doesn't matter how many days it lasts. The main thing is that I've just been chased, so I'm scared to leave like this.
Since they were unfamiliar with the situation when they first arrived, Lin Yuxi asked the two children to live with them in the main courtyard, and then they could live on their own.
Every yard was quite dusty. It was enough for people like them to live in two yards. Lin Yuxi looked around and immediately fetched water and started cleaning.
Everyone came to help, and it was cleaned up before dark, but there was still moisture on the ground. Fortunately, the weather was hot, and it would definitely dry up after sleeping at night.
Next came cooking. The old servant planted vegetables in the backyard. He usually lived here alone and could live without going out.
Lin Yuxi picked vegetables and cooked. Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo were beside him to help. Dinner was soon busy.
Everyone sat down to eat together, but the old servant refused to come to the table, and his persuasion was of no use.
Uncle Wen said, "Old Xu has been serving here all his life. He has served countless times as magistrates and counties. Some are good-tempered and considerate of the servants, and some are powerful and like to punish the servants. If you don't want to be punished, you can't break the rules. I know that you and your wife are
Well-intentioned, but he may not get used to it for a while."
In this case, there was no need to force it. Lin Yuxi left food for him so that he could eat it after they finished eating.
After dinner, it was time to rest. After traveling for so many days, Lin Yuxi could finally sleep peacefully and felt comfortable all over.
After washing, I lay on the bed. The bedding smelled a little musty, but there was nothing I could do about it. I didn't have time to wash it today, and I couldn't do it even after washing it.
The two children had already gone to bed. Chen Zhongqian came into the room, turned on the lamp and went to bed.
Lin Joy touched his arm, and he subconsciously ducked. Lin Joy immediately lit the lamp again and reached over to untie his clothes.
Chen Zhongqian said, "Don't be so anxious. Let's just settle in. There will be more time for intimacy in the future."
Lin Joy glared at him, "Don't be such a talker, let me take a look at your injuries."
He knew he couldn't escape, so he could only let her untie his clothes and was kicked on the arm. Although there was no fracture, the bruises were very obvious.
Lin Yuxi felt pain when she touched him. She hurriedly opened her medicine box, which contained medicinal wine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
It's all her fault. She was busy rushing for the past two days and didn't even notice the medicine box. The medicine should have appeared before.
However, it is suitable to use now. In the acute stage, ice should be applied and medicinal wine should not be rubbed vigorously.
She took medicinal wine and rubbed Chen Zhongqian's injury. It must have been very painful, but he didn't say a word, but there was some sweat on his forehead.
Lin Hexi smiled and said, "What are you holding back for? Just scream out if it hurts, I won't laugh at you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said aggrievedly, "Ma'am, please be gentle, it hurts so much."
It was such a coquettish tone that Lin Joy couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Zhongqian said, "You said you wouldn't laugh at me, but you laughed immediately."
Lin Yuxi had already applied it on him, packed the medicine box and went to bed. She leaned in his arms and said, "I can't help it, you are so cute."
"This is talking about children. I'm not a child."
Lin Joy moved closer and whispered, "You are just a child next to me, and I hope you do the same. Don't take all the responsibilities on yourself. Family members should support each other, not who protects others."
Chen Zhongqian understood what she meant and smiled, "I think our family is like this now."
Lin Joy agreed and smiled happily, "Well, that's it."
