Chapter 460: Return to the Heart Like an Arrow
It took a while for Li Ziyu to calm down, but she never fell asleep again. She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, thinking about the scene in her dream, thinking about her younger siblings at home, her heart was like fifteen buckets of water, and she couldn't help herself.
She had never dreamed anything like it, and it was so real. She didn't really believe that. However, she was really afraid that the nightmare would come true. No matter which sibling has an accident, it will be a devastating blow to her.
She also hoped that she was thinking too much and that there was nothing going on at home. However, the inexplicable heartbeat in her heart gave her a sense of foreboding. If it were modern times, she would definitely set off right now and rush to her home to see what was going on. However, in ancient times, the city gates had to be closed at night, and they could not do it by themselves.
Li Ziyu tossed and turned in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep at night, and waited until the sky was getting brighter before getting up from bed.
Ao Nan and Gu Yun had already stood in front of the bed when Li Ziyu got up, and seeing that Li Ziyu was about to get up, Gu Yun opened the door of the room and hurriedly went out to prepare a set of toiletries.
Wang Qiuyue, Chai Xiaoxue's mother and daughter slept well in the morning and evening, and when they heard the movement, they quickly got up, wiped their faces briefly, and came to the back room to wait for Li Ziyu to wash. After Li Ziyu finished washing up briefly, he took a group of people down to the second floor to check the condition of the seriously injured guards on the first floor last night.
The seriously wounded guards were placed in a large house on the west side, where there were two large kang beds in the south and two in the north, and ten people were placed on each kang. Last night, the innkeeper helped Fan Hai, Chai Bin and others take a simple bath for the twenty guards and put on clean clothes. After a good night's sleep last night. Long Xu, who came back in the middle of the night, fed everyone a solid pill made by his own secret, and almost all of them woke up this morning, looking still refreshed.
Li Ziyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. If something happens to these two dozen or so guards, she will really die of guilt. Fortunately, they finally came back to life, and her gloomy heart finally had a glimmer of hope.
Fan Hai and Chai Bin accompanied Li Ziyu to visit every guard who woke up, and even the slightly injured guards in other rooms did not fall. Li Ziyu didn't say anything grateful, but just told them that if they couldn't stay in the Fan Mansion in the future, they would be unsatisfactory. Even if she comes over, Li Ziyu will arrange everyone's way out and let them take care of their old age. Something to rely on.
These words were worth thousands of words of gratitude in the hearts of the guards, and everyone's faces showed a look of excitement and yearning. What these guards are most afraid of is not the threat of death, but the fact that one day they will be disabled and old. For the hosts. They have no value at a time. They dare to even think about the desolation of their old age, which is a situation they cannot bear. Now with Li Ziyu's promise, although they are skeptical, they have a little comfort and expectation in their hearts.
Li Ziyu walked out of the patient's room, asked Master Chai Bin about the room where Long Xu lived, and looked for it.
In order to make it easier to take care of the injured guards, Long Xu arranged his room on the first floor next to the seriously injured guards, and his wife lived next door to him.
Li Ziyu asked the others to wait. I knocked on the door of the master's room and asked, "Master." I'm Yu'er, are you up? ”
However, it was quiet inside, there was no sound, and there was no movement in the next room.
Li Ziyu secretly wondered in her heart, could it be that the master and the master went out again? What the hell are the two of them doing? It can't be a date between the two, right?
At this time, the young man named Zhao Dong came over with two cooks carrying the food of the seriously injured guards, and when he saw Li Ziyu standing at the door, he said, "After the doctor showed the patients, he went out again with his wife." ”
"When?" Li Ziyu asked.
Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "Probably in the middle of the time, it seems that something has happened." His wife came back in a hurry, and the two went out together without knowing what to say. ”
Li Ziyu pushed open the door and entered the house to confirm it again, and when she saw that the master and the master were indeed not there, she turned to Chai Bin and Fan Hai and said, "Uncle Chai, Brother Fan, let's hurry up and eat, hurry up and get on the road, and get home as soon as possible." ”
Chai Bin and Fan Hai responded in unison: "Yes!" Lady (Miss Table)! ”
Li Ziyu said to Zhao Dong, who turned around and wanted to leave: "Tell the kitchen, hurry up and prepare our meals, we are anxious to leave." ”
Zhao Dong hurriedly entered the house to put down the meal, and made tight arrangements with the two cooks.
Li Ziyu said to Chai Bin and Fan Hai again: "Uncle Chai, Brother Fan, the two of you are responsible for the safety of more than 20 people guarding the road of the eldest brother. Tell the dozen or so coachmen that they will work hard to get them home, and they will not be allowed to work in vain. After arriving home, Uncle Chai went to the doctor of Yongfutang to come over for treatment. In addition, accommodation should be arranged in the lower room of the hospital, and a small stove should be opened for the patient in the large kitchen to get some delicious meals. ”
Chai Bin wrote it down carefully and replied: "Don't worry, eldest lady, the slave will definitely be arranged after he goes back." ”
At this time, Ren Baohe walked in from the back door and said to Li Ziyu, "Miss Li, are you preparing to leave?" ”
Li Ziyu knew that Ren Baohe must go to take care of the horses, so he said, "Yes, I'll set off after eating in a while." Master Ren, how about the curly-haired lion? You okay? “
Ren Baohe said: "It's okay, it's very energetic, you can leave at any time." ”
Li Ziyu nodded and took the lead in walking towards the dining hall on the first floor. She didn't tell anyone about the nightmare she had last night, and although she longed to be home immediately, she arranged everything in an orderly manner.
The inn was very efficient, and after a while, the food was served. Breakfast was porridge, steamed buns and a few side dishes, and everyone was not polite, so they sat down and ate one after another. The dozen or so local coachmen hired did not go home last night, but stayed in the inn, and were greeted by Chai Bin just now and had breakfast with Li Ziyu and them.
After the meal, Li Ziyu handed Chai Bin a thousand taels of silver tickets and asked him to settle the account of the inn. After Chai Bin finished settling the account, everyone had already got into the carriage and was ready to go.
Li Ziyu and his entourage quietly drove out of the inn, passed through the relatively quiet streets, walked to the north city gate, and left Changdong Town as soon as the city guards opened the city gate, and galloped towards Shiyan Town.
Along the way, the crops on both sides of the official road flashed back rapidly, and the crisp air in the fields in the early morning rushed to the face, which made everyone's spirits high. In addition to the sound of hurried horses' hooves, the official road was also mixed with the sound of horses shouting loudly.
Li Ziyu leaned in the carriage with her eyes closed, her heart was really like an arrow and she was scared, although she tried her best to hide it on her face, she still let Wang Qiuyue see the clues.
"Miss, is something wrong?" Wang Qiuyue asked worriedly.
Li Ziyu opened her eyes, glanced at Wang Qiuyue, exhaled softly and said, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, just squint for a while." With that, he closed his eyes again.
Wang Qiuyue knew that Li Ziyu didn't want to say it anymore, but she knew that Li Ziyu had something on her mind, and she couldn't help but feel worried. After thinking about what happened on the road, he thought that Li Ziyu was feeling sorry for the dead and injured guards, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After two hours of galloping, the carriage finally arrived at Shiyan Town at the beginning of the hour. (To be continued.) )
