In the morning after the rain, it is fresh and clammy and cold.

In the grass house, the fire had turned into ashes, and Chu Yitong leaned against the wooden pillar and slept peacefully with Zhu Yuenuan who was leaning on his shoulder.

The clothes on the shelves had already been dried and put back on the two of them.

"Click~~" A chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Zhu Yuenuan frowned slightly, opened her eyes, turned her worried eyes to Chu Yitong on her side, smiled a little, raised her jade hand slightly, pushed his chest, and called softly: "Yu Zhi, wake up." ”

Chu Yitong woke up in response, her newly awake eyes fell on Zhu Yuenuan's face, a faint warmth was revealed, and she let go of the hand holding her.

"Hurry up, someone's coming." Zhu Yuenuan didn't care about anything else, rubbed her legs and feet and stood up, her expression was slightly restrained, and she looked at the intersection in front of Caoliao with a hint of vigilance.

"Who's coming?" Chu Yitong was surprised, stood up, quietly rubbed his right arm that was numb, and looked at her in surprise along her line of sight.

The sound of horses' hooves approached.

After a while, the three riders appeared at the intersection and galloped past.

Soon, however, he turned back to this intersection and rode his horse to the front of the grass liao.

"Uncle, eldest lady?!!" The three of them dismounted and saluted Chu Yitong, but at the same time, they also recognized Zhu Yuenuan in men's clothes.

"It's you." Zhu Yuenuan glanced at the three of them, it was the nursing home in the brocade cloth workshop, and while she was relieved, she also frowned suspiciously, "You guys have come all the way, have you found any suspicious people?" ”

"No, we stayed at the inn last night, and we heard from the guy that someone inquired about the whereabouts of my uncle, and we thought it was those people, worried about my uncle's safety, and fed the horses for a short rest and hurried away. Only, I didn't meet anyone. The nurse in the middle replied politely.

"Could it be that I misheard......" Zhu Yuenuan frowned and muttered.

"Nuan Nuan, what's going on?" Chu Yitong listened to this conversation and was even more surprised.

"I heard yesterday that someone was going to deal with you, so I went to my mother and asked for a few people to come to you. It's just strange that I came from the trail yesterday and didn't meet anyone. Zhu Yuenuan frowned and pondered.

"Since the eldest lady heard it, she can't take it lightly, perhaps, the other party hasn't arrived yet. Or, ambush ahead. ”

"Possibly." Zhu Yuenuan didn't say anything, she smiled, "A few people who worked hard overnight, you can go back." Go to that inn and rest for two days, and then go back to Langui Town. ”

"Miss, when I went out, Mrs. ordered, I want to protect my aunt and Miss, we can't go back." The nursing home is a bit brainless.

"Alright then, take a break and set off again." Zhu Yuenuan didn't say much, and ordered.

The three of them didn't really rest. They each divided their labor to find water, food, and feed the horses.

"Nuan Nuan, who are you talking about?" Chu Yitong followed Zhu Yuenuan. Asked softly.

"Do you still remember what Xiao Ran said, what Mo Xiaoyin and the steward of the Qin Mansion muttered? I went to look for Xiao Ran yesterday and identified the steward when I followed him I heard Mo Xiaoyin talking to someone and they said. I want to send that person to Mo Xiaoyin's side and wait for dawn...... I don't worry about you. And he looked for someone. Zhu Yuenuan had a calm face, very unhappy.

"Perhaps. You are mistaken. Chu Yitong was silent for a long time, and said softly.

"I hope it's just a misunderstanding, otherwise, I won't be able to spare her." Zhu Yuenuan snorted coldly, looked at his face, and eased his tone, "But for now, I still choose to send you to Daishan Academy, and the rest will be talked about when the time comes." ”

"You're looking for me, do you know?" Chu Yitong asked again.

"My mother-in-law didn't know that I was looking for you, I was afraid that she would be worried, so I only told her that I would go back to my parents' house for a few days, but she knew that I went back to my parents' house to find someone to look for you." Zhu Yuenuan saw that he was worried, and hurriedly explained.

"It's good to have them escorted, you might as well go home." Chu Yitong nodded. …

"I'll send you back to Xiling Town." Zhu Yuenuan insisted.

Chu Yitong looked at her expression, and knew that he couldn't resist her, so he had to let her.

After a short rest, the group set off.

Although Chu Yitong learned to ride a horse for the first time, he dared to return at night alone, and the return journey was slow at this time, and he really rode well.

Zhu Yuenuan went hand in hand.

And the three nursing homes rushed to the front with great vision, and they searched for the way.

Langui Town to Xiling Town, only three and a half days by carriage, like them so lightly ridden, can be reached in two days, so, that night, although it takes two more hours to reach Xiling Town, but still under Zhu Yuenuan's words, everyone stayed in a small village outside Xiling Town.

This kind of small village, like the previous Black Soil Village, is located on the main road, so it is slightly more lively than the general village, and there is no shortage of places such as small inns and homestays, but the rooms are really not too much, and they are not very good.

In the room, there were only simple tables and chairs, and all that was left was a bed made of wooden planks and a thick futon, but as soon as I sat down, there was a "squeak" sound.

However, compared to the night before, there is a place to sleep peacefully, and everyone does not choose, and asks for the last two rooms.

After washing up, Meimei ate a hot meal that was not delicious, and then went back to the room to rest.

A qiē seems to be calm and natural.

Chu Yitong and Zhu Yuenuan were like when they were at home, each holding a bed that was occupied by half.

I fell asleep quickly.

However, in the middle of the night, there was a strange sound next door, and in the calm night, there was a certain forbearance in the "squeak".

Zhu Yuenuan was alert, suddenly opened her eyes, frowned, and looked sideways at the wall in the direction of the bed, the wall was wooden, and there were even a few gaps, which couldn't stop the slightest sound.

The strange sound continued, without any intention of stopping.

Zhu Yuenuan covered her ears and closed her eyes again.

However, the next door didn't seem to realize that it was noisy, not only did it not stop, but it even intensified, and gradually, in addition to the sound of the wooden bed "squeaking", even the thin wall seemed to tremble a little.

"Bang~" The wall was slammed.

Zhu Yuenuan gritted her teeth and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yitong beside her.

Chu Yitong was still asleep, but he also frowned obviously, showing signs of waking up. He is a scholar after all, and the fatigue of these days of running and traveling has consumed a lot of his body.

Zhu Yuenuan got up cautiously, lifted the quilt, and bracled herself to turn over Chu Yitong.

At this moment, the wooden wall of "Bang~Bang Bang~" was knocked twice more. Immediately after, a low spell sounded from next door, mixed with the woman's high voice, and the tone was elongated.

Chu Yitong opened his eyes uncomfortably, and asked suspiciously, "Nuan Nuan?" ”

Before Zhu Yuenuan could turn over and go out, she was suddenly startled by his shout, and she stumbled and fell down. smashed on Chu Yitong's body, but then, with her hard work, the whole person fell outside and fell heavily on the floor.

"Warm!" Chu Yitong whispered. quickly lifted the quilt and sat up, wanting to help Zhu Yuenuan.

Zhu Yuenuan got up quickly, rubbed the injured elbow, and cursed in a low voice.

"Where's the pain?" Chu Yitong walked up to her and asked with concern.

"It's fine." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head, with hidden anger in her eyes, and pushed Chu Yitong to turn around, "You sleep with yours." I'll go out for a bit. ”

"Where are you going so late?" Chu Yitong asked suspiciously.

"Leave it alone, I'll clean up the magic sound." Zhu Yuenuan replied. Press Chu Yitong to sit down, directly support his legs and put them on, pull the quilt over the cover, and press him down. …

"What...... Magic sound? Chu Yitong looked at Zhu Yuenuan's every move in amazement, a little at a loss.

"I'll go and go back, you don't care. Sleep yours. Zhu Yuenuan once again raised the quilt to cover him, turned around and took off his coat. Dressed neatly, open the door and go out.

The whole inn was dark. There was a moment of silence next door, and then there was movement again.

Zhu Yuenuan stood in the corridor and stared at the door, turned around and went downstairs, found the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, and returned to the door again, where there was still fierce "singing".

"Whew~~ It's really not very flattering......" Zhu Yuenuan exhaled, raised her legs, and kicked open the door next door.

"Ah!!h The woman in the room exclaimed, and the sound resounded throughout the inn, and suddenly some of the rooms were lit up, some of them opened the doors and looked through the cracks in the dark, and more of them were even more silent.

Zhu Yuenuan raised her legs and stepped in, looking at the pair of people in the room with cold eyes. ，

In the dimness, you can vaguely see that the chubby man is leaning over the woman, looking at Zhu Yuenuan's direction in astonishment.

The woman was slender, clutching her ears and screaming with her eyes closed.

The quilt was pulled onto the man's back, blocking most of it.

"You, you...... Who are you?! The fat man trembled, his voice a little old.

Zhu Yue raised her warm hand, and the kitchen knife in her hand flew over with a "boom", landed on the edge of the bed, and said coldly in a male voice: "If you dare to disturb people's dreams, the master will castrate you!" ”

"No, no, no, don't dare, don't dare anymore!" The fat man trembled so badly that when he heard this, he immediately wrapped himself in the quilt and knelt aside, and said to Zhu Yuenuan, "A good man spares his life~~"

"Don't let the master hear the slightest sound again, otherwise...... Hum! Zhu Yuenuan said that half of it would be left and half of it would be left, and she would no longer take the kitchen knife and leave.

Behind her, the woman's screams were suddenly covered, and it was much quieter.

Zhu Yuenuan stood at the door and glanced sideways, couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, and when she looked up, she saw three nursing homes guarding her door, and couldn't help but pause.

"Miss, what's going on?" The clothes on the nursing home were not neatly dressed, but he asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, it's just too noisy next door." Zhu Yuenuan smiled and waved her hand casually, "Let's go to sleep." ”

With that, he pushed the door back to his room.

In the room, Chu Yitong sat on the wooden board and looked in her direction: "Nuan Nuan, you are ......"

"It's quiet now." Zhu Yuenuan took off her coat and jumped inside, the bed inevitably squeaked a few times, and she suddenly looked uncomfortable, "Sleep." ”

"You." Chu Yitong was helpless, and then lay down, causing a protest on the wooden board again, and after lying down, he said softly, "This inn is simple, and the bed will inevitably make a sound, but you are making such a fuss, I am afraid that you will disturb the entire inn, maybe at this moment, some people are still speculating about what happened in panic." ”

Zhu Yuenuan turned to look at him strangely.

"This time, they are afraid that they will not sleep comfortably." Chu Yitong also deliberately turned over, "Listen, if you move slightly, there will be this voice." You can't even turn over because of the noise with us, right? ”

Zhu Yuenuan stared at him, blinked strangely, and tried to ask, "Yu Zhi, do you understand what they were doing just now?" ”

"What are they doing?" Chu Yitong asked in surprise.

"......" Zhu Yuenuan was silent for a moment. twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at him for a while, before she turned around and buried herself in it, and said sullenly, "Sleep!" ”

In the second half of the night, there was not even the slightest movement next door.

Zhu Yuenuan woke up in good spirits, and Chu Yitong had already gotten up. She hurriedly got up and cleaned up.

"I'm sorry for the clumsy rude last night, which scared the two of you." Outside the door, Chu Yitong's voice sounded gently. …

Zhu Yuenuan heard it and walked over curiously. The door opened.

I saw Chu Yitong making an apology to a man and a woman, and the man and the woman looked at the two people last night, the man's beard was gray, and he looked at it as if he was over half a hundred, but the woman was a flower and a beautiful figure, at this time, both of them looked at her with some fright.

"This ...... It's yours...... Madam? The woman covered her mouth. Pointing at Zhu Yuenuan in surprise.

"Exactly." Chu Yitong nodded seriously and made another gesture.

"Uh...... Not...... It's okay...... It's okay. The two looked at Zhu Yuenuan strangely, and then looked Chu Yitong up and down.

"Look at what, look!" Zhu Yuenuan glared at the two of them in a rough voice.

The two of them were suddenly frightened. Flee in a hurry.

"Nuan Nuan." Chu Yitong looked at Zhu Yuenuan disapprovingly.

Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips, but she was silent for face.

"You." Another sigh.

"Miss, auntie, get ready early." One of the nurses walked upstairs and saluted respectfully.

"Let's go." Zhu Yuenuan coughed and went downstairs first. Chu Yitong shook his head slightly and followed behind.

Unexpectedly, the chubby old man was checking out at the counter. And the woman was standing in the counter, next to the middle-aged shopkeeper who was in the cashier's hand, and threw a flattering look at the fat old man: "Master Wu." Next time I will visit our little shop~~"

"Next time...... Again. The chubby old man glanced back with palpitations, touched Zhu Yuenuan's figure, and turned around in shock, not even bothering to take the remaining money he was looking for, and left in a hurry.

"What the hell is going on?" The middle-aged shopkeeper took the rest of the money back and asked the woman next to him in a low voice.

The woman also found Zhu Yuenuan and her party, and whispered in the ear of the middle-aged shopkeeper.

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Zhu Yuenuan in surprise, with a strange look.

Zhu Yuenuan also looked at the woman and the middle-aged shopkeeper strangely, and sat in the middle of the hall with Chu Yitong and others.

The three nursing homes had already prepared breakfast, Chu Yitong and Zhu Yuenuan sat at one table, and the three nursing homes sat at one table.

Xiao Er passed by.

Zhu Yue raised her warm hand and beckoned Xiao Er over: "Little brother, who is that woman?" ”

Xiao Er looked at Zhu Yuenuan's guidance and said with a smile: "That's our shopkeeper's stepwife." ”

“…… You guys...... The stepwife of the shopkeeper? Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment, and asked again, "That is your shopkeeper?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Er smiled and nodded, "Is there anything wrong with the guest?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just ...... Look, the woman is very good-looking. Zhu Yuenuan was perfunctory, and frequently looked sideways at the counter.

Chu Yitong also saw over there, but he was not as curious as Zhu Yuenuan, just glanced at it lightly, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Zhu Yuenuan: "Let's eat." ”

Zhu Yuenuan retracted her gaze and took it.

After breakfast, the three nurses went to lead the horses, Zhu Yuenuan and Chu Yitong went back to the room to clean up a little, and took their things to check out.

The woman was still next to the middle-aged shopkeeper, muttering and talking, smiling from time to time, seeing Zhu Yuenuan and Chu Yitong passing, a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be glued, but when she saw Zhu Yuenuan, her eyes were a little more afraid, and she stuck to Chu Yitong in just a moment.

Zhu Yuenuan's face suddenly became gloomy, and she slapped a small ingot of silver on the counter with a "snap", which made both of them jump a lot.

The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't dare to look indiscriminately, so he hurriedly found the broken silver and sent the two out.

When she went out, the woman hid behind and sighed: "It's a pity, how can a pair of such handsome and lovely people have broken sleeves......"

Chu Yitong obviously heard this, and walked down the steps slightly.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuenuan almost burst into laughter, but she still held back and glared at the two of them in warning.

The two men were so frightened that they hid under the counter. (To be continued)
