4. Ji Ji

The days when you go out are not very comfortable, especially for Lin Shiyin, who has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, first of all, in terms of food, far less exquisite than when she was at home, and there are a group of people to serve her.

Yan Xiubai is different from her after all, many things must be done by her in person, this is a hard work she has never experienced before, just a few days of horseback riding, her inner thighs have been red and peeling, every day is a hot pain, but she just survived, no one said.

At this point, it was the path she had chosen, and she couldn't go back from the time she left before the wedding.

Although it was hard work, along the way, she did see a lot of things that she had never seen before, and she sometimes couldn't help but wonder, is her cousin's world like this? New things, different scenery, walking through town after town, what she saw and heard was much more lively than the unchanged Li Yuan.

In the past, she always wanted him to be with Li Yuan all the time, but now that she thinks about it, Li Yuan is like a delicate and beautiful cage, how can a free bird be willing to give up the blue sky and voluntarily put himself in a cage?!

She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that until now, she was still thinking about Li Xunhuan.

Just when she was thinking about these things in a mess, a ball of reins was suddenly stuffed in her hand, she looked up, and saw the gentle young man with eyebrows smiling at her and said: "There is a tea house in front, you lead the horse to go first, I have something to do, come when I go." ”

After speaking, he bowed slightly, and he had already left, leaving only Lin Shiyin with a slender back.

The tea house is not far away, just a corner away, and a rudimentary, capitalized tea canvas swaying in the wind.

Lin Shiyin led the horse to that side, but before she could take a few steps, she was hit from behind by a strong force.

She was unsteady and almost fell, but her body instinctively twisted and unloaded most of her strength.

It was a child who hit her, about seven or eight years old, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, but her body was a little dirty, Lin Shiyin didn't dislike it, but it was a little strange, the child's expression was originally nervous and happy, but the moment she turned around to see her face clearly, she showed an undisguised disappointment.

Is this the wrong person?

Lin Shiyin didn't care very much, but just held the person steady and instructed: "Be careful." ”

The child pulled his mouth in embarrassment, and before he could say anything, he heard a rough voice with an unkind voice, "Little ghost, be careful if I break your leg if you run around again!"

As he spoke, the child's delicate arm had been pulled back from Lin Shiyin's hand very rudely by the man who rushed over.

"You tap, you hurt him. Lin Shiyin frowned.

The man is very tall and strong, and there is a brown scar on his right cheek, which is not a good face at first glance, he originally wanted to burst into foul language, but all the scolding disappeared in an instant the moment he saw Lin Shiyin, his eyes lit up, and he glanced at another companion with a tacit understanding.

The child on the side looked at the two of them in his eyes, he glanced at Lin Shiyin, who was standing on the side, although he was dressed as a man, but he did not hide his beautiful posture, and suddenly became anxious, he opened his mouth, wanting her to leave quickly, but he didn't make any sound, only a meaningless sound!

The instinct of women made her feel a little wrong, but for a while she couldn't figure out what was wrong, Lin Shiyin didn't like the eyes of those two people staring at her, no one had ever dared to look at her so disrespectfully, she frowned, and was about to leave with the horse.

But before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by the tall accomplice, who moved very quickly and leaned over, and then, a cold, sharp object was pressed against her waist.

Lin Shiyin gasped, but fortunately, she was still a little more courageous than ordinary boudoir women, and she managed to keep her calm.

The knife on his waist moved, and the tall man lowered his voice and threatened: "Don't move, don't make a sound, otherwise I can't guarantee that there won't be an extra hole in your body!"

As he spoke, he pulled the reins in Lin Shiyin's hand and led the person to the secluded alley.

Encountering this situation for the first time in his life, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid, Lin Shiyin's anxious cold sweat broke out, and he desperately hoped that Yan Xiubai would come back soon.

A sweaty hand held her, Lin Shiyin lowered his head, facing the child's slightly apologetic eyes, he was also annoyed, originally wanted to find someone to ask for help, but he didn't expect the other party to be a woman in men's clothes, the moment he saw the other party's appearance, his heart cooled, sure enough, in the end, not only was he not saved, but also affected a good girl, he felt very guilty.

Yan Xiubai came back at this time, and his appearance not only made Lin Shiyin's heart happy, but even the child's eyes lit up instantly.

"Young Master Yan!" Lin Shiyin shouted eagerly, this title made the two kidnappers know at once that something was wrong.

The tall kidnapper's reaction could not be said to be unpleasant, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was about to make a move, when he heard a crisp sound of clanging, his wrist hurt, and then the whole person was thrown away.

Yan Xiubai's movements were so fast that Lin Shiyin didn't see his movements clearly at all, and she didn't have time to look at it, the child in her hand was pulled by a strong force, it was the scarred face, and she could almost feel the hideous malice emanating from the other party.

She didn't have time to think about anything, just subconsciously raised her hand, and then a small, palm-length flying knife was already inserted into the other party's chest.

Lin Shiyin ran over and hugged the child tightly, the dazzling blood made her gasp for breath, this was the first time in her life that she shot to kill!

"Is he dead?" she asked, looking uneasy.

Yan Xiubai pulled out the flying knife, then clicked a few acupoints on the man's chest, and said lightly: "No, it deviated from the heart." ”

Lin Shiyin breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation here was immediately discovered by passers-by not far away, no one dared to step forward, and the timid ones even avoided it far away and went to inform the government, which saved Yan Xiubai a lot of trouble.

Before the arrival of the people in the official mansion, he walked in front of the child, ignored his bright eyes, and helped him touch his pulse, which was okay, but the acupuncture point was sealed, and it was not a big deal.

He raised his hand to untie his acupoint and gave him a massage, and the child coughed, because he had not spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's you!" he said.

Lin Shiyin was surprised, "Do you know this child?"

Yan Xiubai nodded, "I have been with me for a while, what's going on?" The latter sentence was said to that child.

The child twisted his neck and said with some embarrassment: "A few days after I was separated from you, I was targeted by these two people." ”

"That relative you are talking about?"

"I didn't find it. ”

A trouble, Yan Xiubai thought so, when he was in the capital, he picked up this little ghost who was being chased and killed, he knew that it was a trouble, and then he took people south, and once thought that he had avoided this trouble, but he didn't expect to encounter it again after turning around.

The child was very sensitive, and he quickly noticed that faint dislike, and he took a step back and locked it in Lin Shiyin's arms as if seeking refuge.

Lin Shiyin looked at him with pity and said, "Then do you have any other relatives?"

"No more. The child's voice was a little aggrieved.

So, Lin Shiyin's eyes looked at Yan Xiubai.

Yan Xiubai suddenly had a headache.

The official messenger came quickly, Yan Xiubai followed a trip to the county office, and after he took out his identity certificate and the handwritten letter that was about to take office, the matter was quickly settled, and the rest of the matter was the matter of the local county order, which had nothing to do with him.

When they went on the road again, the two-person line became a threesome, and their means of driving changed from horses to carriages, in this regard, Yan Xiubai received a grateful smile from Lin Shiyin.

The child's name is Ji Ji, he is not yet eight years old this year, he looks good after washing, his words and deeds are polite and educated, and he is obviously a child from a big family.

Lin Shiyin likes him very much, such a handsome and cute, polite and noisy child has hooked out her hidden motherhood, and along the way, there is obviously a lot more smile on her face.

Yan Xiubai suddenly felt that this might be a good thing, at least let her start to slowly come out of the previous pile of sad things.

The three of them walked for almost a month before finally arriving at their destination.

Before coming, Yan Xiubai still thought about what kind of place he was about to take office, he knew that it was a poor county, but he really didn't expect it to be so poor.

It's a county, but it's more like a larger village, and along the way, it's poor!

Ji Ji said a little incredulously: "This is where you are going to take office? Are you sure you are a high-ranking official?"

"Do you want to read my handwriting?!" The plain blue sleeves shook, and Yan Xiubai pressed the other party's little head back into the carriage with one hand.

Their carriage was very ordinary and inconspicuous, but the horse pulling the carriage was a rare horse, which still attracted the attention of many people, and then the carriage stopped in front of the county yamen under the gaze of some people.

The movement outside soon alarmed the inside, and after a while, an old man shook out of the door, his face was full of folds, and although he was dressed neatly in a light blue official uniform, he could not ignore the several patches on it.

The man's face was undisguised surprise, he first squinted his eyes at Yan Xiubai who was standing in front of the car, and then shouted around: "Go, what should you do, what are you doing here, you want to eat prison food?!"

This person seems to be easy-going, and everyone is not afraid of him, but some people laughed, "Come on, Lao Chen, can the county government afford to provide prison food?!"

Lao Chen was a little embarrassed, so he simply looked at Yan Xiubai again, and said, "You don't look like you're from this county, what are you doing here?" If you report the case, you won't accept it for the time being, and you'll come back tomorrow." ”

Yan Xiubai smiled slightly, handed over the handwritten letter, and said: "The next surname is Yan, Yan Xiubai, and he is the newly appointed county order of Chen Sheng County. ”

There was silence.

Lao Chen opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, and finally shouted left and right: "Go! Go and call Zhao Zhutou back! Just say that the new county order is coming!!"
