Chapter 106: Go to the county seat

Seeing that the old man hadn't come back for two days, although the eldest lady didn't know the inside story of the road and wasn't worried much, both of them regretted it a little. These two are honest old people, and if they hurt the old man, wouldn't it be a sin for the two of them. Besides, the jade pendant is also an important thing, and it is very troublesome once it is lost.

"I knew that I would have gone on a trip." Seeing that the eldest lady went out to sell cloth, Lin Yu said to Yu Wenyi, "You are in this situation again, and the doctor said that it is still not appropriate to move." Why don't I go to the county seat tomorrow in person. There are also people in the village who have ox carts, and they can hire a trip for a few dollars. ”

Yu Wenyi's injury is relatively serious, it is better to rest and rest, there was no way at that time, and now it is naturally not good to work him. What's more, this prince grew up in the palace, with a noble background and little experience in the market, so he may not be much stronger than Lin Yu.

Although there is no safety problem for the time being, Yu Wenyi is still very anxious, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then I will trouble you to run." ”

"You're welcome, we're in the same boat now, and there's no trouble to talk about." Lin Yu smiled, "I'll go and make something for you to eat, let's get tired of eating coarse noodles with grains in the past two days." ”

The eldest aunt and uncle are all over sixty years old, although they are still tough, but they are not as capable as young people. Although some villagers receive help from time to time, they have no relatives and children to support them, and their lives are quite hard. Yesterday, Lin Yu took the money to buy a chicken from the eldest mother, on the one hand, to supplement the nutrition of the two, and on the other hand, to indirectly subsidize the eldest mother.

Fortunately, Lin Yucai is used to carrying silver with him, although the seventh prince Yu Wenyi has a lot of valuable jewelry, there is no scattered silver. Lin Yu asked him why, and he said that he had his own subordinates with money when he went out. You may have some large silver tickets with you, but you don't need them in this kind of place, and it's too eye-catching.

The chickens have been slaughtered, and the offal is placed in a coarse porcelain dish. The chicken blood is served in a small clay bowl. Lin Yu cleaned it again, chopped the chicken into large pieces, and burned the stove. Toss the chicken into the pot and cook.

"Will you make a fire?" Yu Wenyi obviously didn't know how to cook before he cooked, and he was very surprised to see Lin Yu's skillful movements, "If I'm not mistaken, your father is also an official, and you also grew up in the splendid after you arrived in the Hou Mansion, how can you do such rough work?" ”

"After I left the Hou Mansion, I worked hard to learn. Besides, our early days weren't as prosperous as they are now. What not to do it yourself? Lin Yu smiled, "It's also a loss to Qingqing, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of learning this." ”

Among the things that must be learned, making a fire and cooking is also a must. Lin Yu thought of Qingqing and smiled slightly. "Who can guarantee that a lifetime of good luck will be accompanied by no twists and turns? Even if you are born rich and rich, you can't keep the day when you are in trouble, how much will it take to re-learn these survival skills? That's really a disaster, and the phoenix is not as good as a chicken. ”

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, this serious prince next to him was not born rich and noble, and now he was in trouble, so he quickly explained, "That." I didn't mean to say it, don't be angry. ”

"Actually, you're right, I'm not as good as you when I'm really in trouble." Yu Wenyi sighed with emotion, "Right now, if I don't know how to cook, I have to eat those unpalatable things." You're a good cook. With the same dough cake, you can make golden brown and crispy, and with the same multigrain porridge, you can burn it fragrantly. By the way, why don't you put any ingredients in this chicken in the pot? Why don't you fry it, I remember that a kind of fried chicken sold in your restaurant tastes excellent. ”

"You're better than me, but you're far worse than me when it comes to eating." Lin Yu raised his head a little proudly, "People in such a village can only feed chickens that are the most nourishing and tasteful." Besides, don't talk about some nourishing Chinese medicinal materials, not even dried mushrooms, so you can just take it. ”

"You always have a point." Yu Wenyi smiled, "When we met before, you didn't seem to be like this, but you were polite, and it was much more interesting like this." ”

"I'm inherently light, and it's only fun when that's the case." Lin Yu smiled, "You don't know me either, I don't talk much on weekdays, and sometimes I don't even bother to speak." But you can cheer up at a critical time, and it's all the credit of recuperating on weekdays. ”

"You just blow it, and recharge your energy, I think you're just lazy." Yu Wenyi laughed while seeing Lin Yu's smile like a flower, and suddenly blushed slightly, distracted.

Lin Yu's complexion is not bad, although there is not much blood, but it is not the same as before. Her original clothes were broken, and now she wears the clothes of her eldest mother when she was young, although they are coarse cloth and a little big, but it is still difficult to hide her natural beauty. Yu Wenyi sat beside her, listening to her introduce a hundred kinds of chicken to eat, and suddenly had a feeling that it was not bad to go on like this.

After simmering for a quarter of an hour, the aroma of chicken slowly came out, and Yu Wenyi's eating of coarse grains and wild vegetables in the past few days was very painful, and he almost salivated when he smelled the aroma.

"Chef, can you eat now?" He asked, reaching for the lid of the pot.

Lin Yu knocked his hand off, "I haven't eaten meat for a few days, so I'm hungry like this, be careful of scalding." Besides, during the stew of meat and chicken, it is most taboo to lift the lid of the pot, and when the lid is lifted and the oil is removed, the taste is far less mellow and beautiful than the stuffy taste. ”

"How long will it take?"

"Why don't you have another half an hour, you can rest in the middle first." There is no pressure cooker at the moment, and Lin Yu himself doesn't like to eat things cooked in the pressure cooker, so he feels that there is no taste.

"Forget it, I'll sit and watch, it's good to quench my thirst." Yu Wenyi joked, and suddenly there was a sound of the door opening, "Could it be that the eldest lady is back?" Or is there an outsider coming? ”

"Calculate the time, the eldest lady is almost here." Lin Yu said with a smile, "It's not far from the place where she goes to sell cloth, it's in a nearby town, she gets up early and leaves after eating, and she can come back just before lunch." She also said that she cooks, but I know that you can't get used to the food cooked by Aunt Ludao, although I am a little inconvenient with one hand, although I can still cook something. ”

While the two were talking, someone came in with the curtain lifted.

"Auntie, hey, uncle, are you back?" Lin Yu turned his head to say hello, but found that the person who came back was the old man. Although he asked so, Lin Yu had almost seen the answer from the old man's face, needless to say that he was tired, there were still a few bruises on his face, as if he had been beaten.

Sure enough, the old man opened his mouth and sighed, "Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult." The people at the gate saw that I was poor and didn't believe that I was a relative, and the county magistrate also said that there were no relatives, so he drove me out. The letter was not handed over, but the jade pendant was snatched away by the housekeeper, I wanted to snatch it back, but I was beaten up, or someone persuaded him, he stopped. ”

When Yu Wenyi heard this, his sword eyebrows rose upside down, "If you are so domineering, is there no royal law?" ”

"You don't know that the Tao in these places is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, aren't those princes and grandsons rampant." Lin Yu glanced at him, "The emperor is far away, and these county orders have great power in these places." ”

"What about the jade pendant, that's an heirloom given to me by my father, uh, my father gave it to me." Yu Wenyi almost said that he missed his mouth, and quickly changed it.

"Just give it to him for the time being, it's less dangerous." Lin Yu sneered, "It's just to keep it for him, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get it back in the future?" ”

"That's right." Yu Wenyi was angry just now, and his mind didn't turn much for a while, and he sneered, "I can get it back sooner or later." ”

The old man looked at the expressions of the two of them, and he didn't know what to say, but sighed, "After all, it's the old man and I'm useless, and later someone told me that the housekeeper is very greedy, and I guess you won't be able to get it back." ”

"It's okay." Lin Yu smiled and comforted the old man, "You better go back to the house and get some medicine, there is just the medicine prescribed by Dr. Bao." I've already cooked the meal, you have taken the medicine, and the eldest lady will come home to eat. ”

Lin Yu didn't take it very seriously, the jade pendant thing was dead after all. Besides, a jade pendant that symbolizes the identity of the prince is not something that a small county housekeeper can be greedy for. Even the county magistrate himself, I'm afraid he will be unlucky because of this. All she feared was the Assassins, but the longer it dragged on, the safer they became. At this time, I am afraid that even the surrounding counties will get the news to hunt down the assassin and look for the prince, but I am afraid that the assassin will not show up for the time being.

In fact, the assassins' results in this assassination can be said to be very remarkable, and it is estimated that they will be relatively satisfied, and they will no longer make waves when the limelight is tight. Not to mention Yu Wenyi's serious injury, he also told Lin Yu that he had a sister who died at that time, the fifth prince was also pierced with a hole, and his life and death were unknown, and several other princesses were also injured, and the guards were almost dead and injured.

Seeing the uncle go back to the house to take medicine, Lin Yu took the opportunity to discuss with Yu Wenyi, "How is your physical condition now, can you take the ox cart?" I think it's better for us to go to the county seat by ourselves, or go directly to the county order, or go directly to the capital. ”

"I feel that my body is not bad, although it still hurts to move and breathe, but the ox cart is slow and stable, and I can still hold it for half a day." Yu Wenyi pondered for a moment. "Dr. Bao's medicine still works."

"That's right, let's ask Dr. Bao to come over and have a look in the afternoon." Lin Yu thought for a while and said, "It's better to be safe after asking the doctor." ”

"It's fine."

The two discussed it properly, the uncle also took some medicine, and not long after, the lady who went out to sell cloth also returned. After the four of them had eaten, the eldest lady went to invite Dr. Bao to come.

"It's okay, you can go out, just don't get tired, don't walk a long way by yourself." Doctor Bao smiled and said, "Of course, caution is still essential, but it doesn't matter if the ox cart in the village is so slow." ”

The uncle was just a little injured and couldn't go out, Lin Yu and Yu Wenyi discussed it, and simply hired an ox cart in the village and went to the county seat slowly. Unexpectedly, Yu Wenyi was not tired on the way, and there was no discomfort, and when they arrived at the county seat, after the farmer who was driving the car said goodbye, the two of them were in a situation.

Lin Yu might as well have been stolen for a while, and all the twenty or thirty taels of silver on his body are gone. Yu Wenyi didn't have to count on that, and for a while, the two of them didn't even have money to live in a hotel for dinner. (To be continued.)
