Chapter 55: On the Road

had breakfast early, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaoyang left in the tears of everyone, and the same as when they came, escorted by their fifth uncle Wang Qingchen, but they could only be sent to Tanggu Customs and left, far away through the curtain Zhou Xiaofu could see a burly and slightly hunched figure behind everyone, this is afraid that it is my grandfather, my grandfather said at noon the first day that he would not send himself and his brother, but when he saw them get into the carriage or came out.

The old man has been fighting horses all his life, but he is also a person who values love.

Zhou Xiaofu wanted to laugh when she thought about last night's dinner, the men's table was basically drunk, and even the old lady at the women's table drank a few glasses, and finally she was helped to fall asleep by her grandmother.

Zhou Xiaofu and a few cousins drank some fruit wine to the point that it was okay.

When I came, there were three carriages, but when I went back, there were four carriages, and the gifts I brought alone were enough for one or two carriages, and there was also a carriage with some fabric on it, and Cuihua and Ziling were sitting.

Last night, before Zhou Xiaofu opened her mouth, her aunt Wang Qingxue told her that she would send someone to send Ziling's younger brother to Kyoto, and she would bring it over with the deed of sale, so that she could go back with confidence.

Zhou Xiaofu had to sigh in her heart, this aunt had a delicate heart, and everything was in her words.

On the way, Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother sat in the carriage together, no one was very willing to speak, Lan's mother was sad and left so quickly, Zhou Xiaofu had a lot of things in her heart, and she didn't want to talk for a while.

The carriage stopped after almost an hour, and I am afraid that it has arrived at Tanggu Customs.

Seeing this, Lan's mother opened the small wooden window in front of her and asked, it turned out that it had arrived.

Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother got out of the carriage together.

Zhou Xiaoyang has already come down, and he hasn't woken up yet, and one hand is still rubbing his head.

The original sad love was gone in an instant, this brother was too strong to drink, it can be said that he was the first drunk at the men's table to be helped away, and Wang Aobai, who was two years younger than him, actually drank to the end.

It's hilarious to think about.

At this time, the fifth uncle Wang Qingchen had already dismounted, rubbed Zhou Xiaoyang's head and asked him if he was better.

Zhou Xiaoyang nodded a little embarrassedly.

It's time to leave.

Wang Qingchen called the two children aside and said softly: "There is a Qingyun Inn in Kyoto, in the north of Laiyun Street, if you have an urgent matter, you can find the shopkeeper Wen, just say that I am a relative of the fifth grandfather, I will say hello in advance, do you hear, there is an emergency." ”

The two children nodded, Wang Qingchen nodded at Lan's mother and rode away, and he didn't look back, I was afraid that he would be sad.

Everyone got into the carriage again, and this time they were accompanied by the two guards sent by the original Zhou Mansion and the four guards sent by the General's Mansion, all of whom rode on horseback, which was also a big team.

The carriage continued on its way.

When I got to the pipeline to Kyoto, it rained, and the rain became heavy for a while, and it was okay to sit in the carriage, but the guards on horseback were miserable, and there was no way, and they were drenched in a while.

Now I have only walked half the way, here Kyoto is less than two hours away, and after walking for a while, there is no rain, Zhou Xiaofu had to stop the carriage, and let the coachman in front of him go to discuss with the brother in front of him to find an inn to rest first, otherwise it will always go down like this, the road is muddy and it is not easy to walk, and the guards who come to ride horses can't stand it.

After the discussion was settled, they went to the courtyard of the nearest inn.

After putting on a bib and getting off the carriage with Lan's mother, I saw a lot of carriages parked around, presumably the rain stopped many pedestrians.

When I entered the inn, I saw Zhou Xiaoyang come out anxiously and said that there were only two rooms left in the guest room.

Zhou Xiaofu immediately nodded and said: "Okay brother, we have a few rooms, you live with a few guards, and then come to the coachman to see if you can find a shop or something, rest, we can go on the road when the rain is light." ”

Zhou Xiaoyang saw that his sister was not picky and arranged it so quickly, so he immediately went to ask for two guest rooms with a happy face, and fortunately, he bought bunks for the coachmen to rest when there was a place in the shop.

This will be less than noon, Zhou Xiaofu will be the master to order two tables of food first, and after a while, the men's table will be sent down, and the women's table will be sent up, and after eating and drinking, see that the rain is on the road.

This inn is not too big and not very clean.

After Zhou Xiaofu entered the house, she saw that it was a long fire kang and felt kind, which she had never seen in the house.

Lan's mother happily explained the benefits of this fire kang to Zhou Xiaofu.

Zhou Xiaofu touched it and saw that the kang was actually hot, and she was also happy, this autumn rain was indeed a little cold.

Cuihua and Ziling will go to the carriage to move things, Zhou Xiaofu thought about locking the carriage for gifts, find a coachman, it is estimated that it will not be long before they can get on the road, but there are some bedding or something on their carriage, which can be brought over.

After a while, Cuihua and Ziling came with their things, spread the bedding in the inn underneath, and spread everything they brought on top.

Immediately after that, someone knocked on the door, and Cuihua asked, it turned out to be the hot water delivery.

The person who came was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, who put the water with a flattering face, and asked when he would deliver the meal, his eyes were looking around, and he stared at Zhou Xiaofu and the two maids for a long time.

Zhou Xiaofu's heart suddenly looked like eating a fly, and her eyes were obviously looking at the goods, is this a black store.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled at Lan's mother, Lan's mother rewarded this little guy, and left with a smile when she saw this little guy.

The more Zhou Xiaofu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, this was a black shop, and he didn't look at this thing when he came in, he just stared at the young man, this is afraid that it is a human trafficker.

I don't know if I need to notify my brothers.,I shouldn't want a man.。

But after thinking about it, he felt that it couldn't be done, so he quickly called Ziling over and hugged the bed and gave it to Zhou Xiaoyang, and asked the reminder to eat and drink, be careful.

Ziling looked puzzled, but she still followed the young lady's instructions and went.

Zhou Xiaoyang, who received the things, originally listened to the carefulness of his sister, but as soon as he heard Zhou Xiaofu's explanation, his heart was furious, no wonder the little guy who came in to deliver water just now had such strange eyes, this is afraid that this is a nest of human traffickers.

And all the people cheered up.

Zhou Xiaofu also told the three of them here, I am afraid that there is something wrong with the little guy's eyes just now, so I should be careful for a while.

Because they didn't dare to drink the water here, Zhou Xiaofu and Mother Lan, Cuihua, and Ziling had to drink some of the cold water they originally brought.

The meal came in a moment, and there was a big pot of hot tea.

This little guy actually laughed very earnestly, and Zhou Xiaofu always felt that this was too embarrassing.

After the people left, they smelled the water, and there was a fishy smell, which was a problem.

I didn't even dare to eat anything.

Zhou Xiaofu beckoned the other three to go to the kang together, drank some cold water together, ate some snacks, and padded some mats, depending on the situation.

After three quarters of an hour, I heard the sound of ping-pong outside, and someone was talking loudly.

The three people on the kang were also stunned, and Lan's mother got up and blocked the door that had been plugged in with a table.

And the two maids will be scared enough.

I listened to the loud movement outside, some of them made a loud noise, some of them were carrying things, and they heard someone come out and fight, and in less than a quarter of an hour they were quiet again.

Zhou Xiaofu scanned it with her mental power, it was the shopkeeper and his buddies who had just entered the store, and there were some strong men who didn't know who were pulling people out, and they were still walking out with things.

As soon as I got downstairs, I was stopped by a group of people.

The gang was none other than his brother and six guards.

The shopkeeper took a knife and said in surprise, "Didn't you faint after drinking tea?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyang smiled, and didn't know what to say, so he beckoned everyone to move.

Zhou Xiaofu didn't look at it anymore, presumably her brother would win, there were so many people of her own.

After a quarter of an hour, I heard someone knocking on the door, it was Zhou Xiaoyang's voice: "Sister, come out, we have tied up the thief." ”

Cuihua, Ziling, and Mother Lan on the side ran to open the door with a happy face.

When I opened the door, I saw Zhou Xiaoyang standing by the door unscathed, and Mother Lan was even more happy, this brother can actually protect himself, this has grown up.

Zhou Xiaoyang saw that his sister was sitting on the kang intact, so he stepped forward and said that this group of people was human traffickers, and they had already asked, so they rented this shop and tied up a lot of people, and they planned to leave after making the last vote. didn't want to be intercepted by Zhou Xiaoyang.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaofu asked Zhou Xiaoyang to go out and find someone to report to the official, and then released all the people caught by the traffickers.

Zhou Xiaofu was also curious for a while, so she stood in the hall and watched, and saw that people came out one after another, all of them were young boys and girls, there were as many as twenty people, and the faces of Cuihua and Ziling on the side were frightened.

Seeing the boys and girls coming out one after another, they all fell to the ground crying, and there was a familiar figure that Zhou Xiaofu had to step forward to take a look.

At first glance, the woman also exclaimed in surprise: "You are Sister Fu?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu was also stunned, and was also stunned when she saw this beauty whose face was a little dirty but couldn't hide her appearance:

"Zhang Qianxi?"
