Chapter 214: Heading South
Now there are many rumors in the village that Lu Yishou has not come back, at this time, the people of Lujiazhuang have all gone away overnight, which will definitely cause suspicion, and now it is the New Year, all the people who went out to work have returned to the village, if some people really want to do something, the Lu family has no one to watch, don't rescue Lu Yishou but there is no Lujiazhuang.
Leaving Lu Meijiao alone at home is definitely not a wise choice.
"Madam, can you trust Liu Yu and them?"
Looking at Jiang Ping, who was frowning, Ye Xiaoyu asked.
When their group went south, Lujiazhuang would definitely have to find someone to guard it, and Liu Yu's father and son in Niutou Village, Ye Xiaoyu felt that they were a good candidate. originally thought that Jiang Ping would think of it, but Jiang Ping's mind was all on Lu Yishou now, and he had no clue, so Ye Xiaoyu took it upon himself and brought it up.
"Why do you ask?"
Jiang Ping leaned back in her chair and reached out to rub her temples.
"If you can believe it, I think I can invite Liu Yu and his son to come and live for a while. Let them help manage the operation of some of the fields in Lujiazhuang. In this way, we can claim to the outside world that we are going to the south to find Uncle Lu and play by the way. ”
Although it was raining, the climate was still relatively dry, Ye Xiaoyu licked her upper lip, which was a little dehydrated, and said to Jiang Ping.
"That's right. Why did I forget about their house......"
Jiang Ping suddenly realized, and looked at Ye Xiaoyu with more praise in her eyes.
However, the current Ye Xiaoyu is no longer Ye Xiaoyu who just stepped into the gate of Lujiazhuang with her feet at that time, and she does not expect any praise. The only thing she wants to do now is to arrange the things in the village as soon as possible, go to the south as soon as possible, solve the affairs of Lu Yishou as soon as possible, and then she will return here to run her ready-to-wear shop with peace of mind.
After listening to Jiang Ping's statement about Lu Yishou's current situation, Liu Dasheng casually sorted out some belongings, and without saying a word, he took Liu Yu to Lujiazhuang.
This made Jiang Ping feel a little moved inexplicably, although she had a good relationship with the Liu family because of Lu Yishou's relationship before. also because of Lu Qian's matter. I often go to Niutou Village to walk around. But she has always been high-spirited, relying on the Lu family's wealth, thinking that this is just a polite exchange in terms of human feelings, but she didn't expect Liu Dasheng to help herself without hesitation at this time. Jiang Ping was speechless for a while. I don't know how to express my feelings.
So when Lu Qian thought that he would not be able to see Liu Yu again until at least after the year. He appeared mysteriously in the lobby of Beiyuan as if he had fallen from the sky.
"Qianqian, Lujiazhuang has me. You can go to the south with confidence. ”
As soon as he saw Lu Qian, Liu Yu came to such a sentence without a beginning, a righteous and awe-inspiring, heroic and righteous determination.
"It's because of you that I'm not at ease."
Liu Yu suddenly appeared, and Lu Qian was a little surprised. But this little surprise has been completely swept away by Liu Yu's words. just looked at him with disgust and replied angrily.
Liu Yu's arrival inexplicably brought some vitality to the deserted Lujiazhuang.
Looking at Lu Qian and Liu Yu, Ye Xiaoyu was a little sad.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, if Lu Yishou has not had an accident, at this time they should gather together and eat a reunion dinner happily, instead of packing their bags and preparing to go to a place they have never been to at all.
Rongzhou is located in the southeast of Daye country, which is further south than Huzhou. From Yuejing to there, even if you ride the fastest horse, it takes at least 5 days to travel all day without eating or drinking. And a group of people like Ye Xiaoyu and them took a carriage, stop-and-go, and the time to replenish along the way, it would take at least 10 days. Fortunately, Rongzhou is only close to the sea, and there is a land route to go, otherwise if you have to transfer to take a boat in the middle, it will take more time.
Regarding the people who went to the south, Jiang Ping thought about it, and finally decided to bring Lu Meijiao with her.
Regarding Jiang Ping's decision, Ye Xiaoyu agreed very much.
Leaving an open-mouthed person like Lu Meijiao at home is tantamount to setting off a time bomb, which may shake out Lu Yishou's affairs at any time. Moreover, Liu Yu's father and son are men, and Lu Meijiao and a woman live with them, which is indeed not very convenient, and if you are not careful, it will cause gossip in the village. Also, Ye Xiaoyu didn't announce that they were going to the south to play, since it was tourism, logically speaking, they also wanted to bring Lu Meijiao. Otherwise, if she is left at home alone, when the time comes, people with ulterior motives will be stimulated, and with Lu Meijiao's temperament, she will definitely tell the whole thing.
Alas, how can a person who is so introverted like Qinglang have an unrestrained mother like Lu Meijiao, or how can an open-mouthed person like Lu Meijiao give birth to a son like Qinglang who cherishes words like gold?
Ye Xiaoyu feels that this can be called the "Ninth Wonder of the World".
There is an unwritten saying in Quanxiu Village that it is not suitable to travel far on the first day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise it will be bad luck throughout the year. The Lu family is already so unlucky, since there is such a statement, they don't want to touch this bad luck again. Jiang Ping thought about it and decided to set off after lunch today.
Because I didn't want outsiders to know that something had happened to Lu Yishou, and because the matter came so suddenly, the fifth child went back to Qingkou Town for the New Year, and Jiang Ping was not very familiar with the dart game, so this time he went south, and he did not hire a dart master to accompany him, but prepared a carriage, and several people from the Lu family went by themselves.
Although the carriage in Lujiazhuang is not small, the five people are crammed into one, plus some carry-on luggage and food, it still seems a little crowded. Originally, I was going to buy another one, but in addition to the sunny, Ye Xiaoyu and the four women didn't know how to drive at all, they were in a hurry, and they met the Chinese New Year, and there was no place to hire a driver, so they could only squeeze it, and they couldn't take care of it so much during the extraordinary period, so they could only work harder.
Although the official road is spacious, it is not flat, and the wheels of the carriage are made of pure iron, and the perimeter is not covered with plastic, so it rubs against the ground hard, and when it encounters a few potholes, it is as if a small earthquake has occurred in the carriage.
Ye Xiaoyu has always felt that her physique is good, but after such a bumpy day, she only feels that the internal organs in her body are about to be shattered, and her whole head is groggy and very uncomfortable.
The others in the carriage were not much better than Ye Xiaoyu, perhaps worse. Jiang Ping and Lu Meijiao are relatively old, and they usually don't work in the field, they are pampered all year round, and they suddenly came on a long-distance trip, and at the end of the day, the two of them lay in the car and couldn't even speak. Although Lu Qian was slightly better, he also stopped and vomited many times in the middle of the way.
In such a comparison, Ye Xiaoyu seems to be a little more resistant than them, but they are all half a catty and eight taels, which is not much better.
It's only been two days, and they have just left the jurisdiction of Yuejing, and the group of people is only one sunny and normal.
Because it is the first month of the year, not only are there few pedestrians on the official road, but many inns that stop halfway are not open. In the previous two days, Ye Xiaoyu and the others randomly found an abandoned temple on the side of the road and spent the night in it. Fortunately, there was Qinglang, a person with "strong martial arts", who was on guard all night, and Jiang Ping and the others slept quite soundly.
But Ye Xiaoyu didn't sleep much, and the bumps on the road did make her feel very tired, but the thoughts that kept popping up in her head made her unable to close her eyes with peace of mind.
Along the way, it took two days to get out of the boundary of Yuejing. Even at this speed, Jiang Ping and the others are already in a state of unbearable state, and there are still thousands of miles away from Rongzhou, according to their speed, it will take at least half a month, not to mention the time delay, can Jiang Ping and Lu Meijiao's bodies and bones withstand the bumps of the next half a month?
Ye Xiaoyu expressed great doubts, looking at their appearance today, if they can't find an inn to stay in tomorrow night, they will both be unable to bear it, let alone the next half a month.
And in such a state, the most tiring thing is sunny. He has to drive during the day and guard all night at night, and he almost has no chance to close his eyes, even if he works in the fields all year round and his body is very good, no matter how strong a normal person is, he can't resist the high intensity of day and night. If it goes on like this, needless to say, once the rescue road is guarded, even a few of them will have to get in.
Ye Xiaoyu has been having an idea for the past two days, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still doesn't know how to speak.
Rongzhou is a long way, and in today's period when the traffic is so inconvenient, it is really not suitable for the whole family to go out, especially to bring people like Lu Meijiao and Jiang Ping, who are old and have never done rough work all year round. It's not that Ye Xiaoyu is cold by nature, but with these people not only can't help, but will become a burden. Saving people is not tourism, it is really necessary to travel as lightly as possible.
Go south to Rongzhou, Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang can go to the two of them, and at most bring Lu Qian.
But how do you say that?
Lu Yishou and Jiang Ping are husband and wife, Lu Meijiao is brother and sister, and Lu Qian is father and daughter, among the five people, in fact, Ye Xiaoyu's relationship with him is the most estranged, except for her father Ye Qing and Lu Yishou's worship relationship, Ye Xiaoyu and Lu Yishou are two people who have nothing to do with each other at all. The most unjustified reason to go should be Ye Xiaoyu herself.
And the most important thing is that this is just Ye Xiaoyu's own wishful thinking, and she doesn't know if Qinglang is willing to go with her without Qinglang's confirmation.
Although Ye Xiaoyu had such thoughts for the sake of Lu Yishou and the Lu family, she couldn't influence others to make another interpretation of her thoughts. After thinking about it and thinking about it again, Ye Xiaoyu still gave up and decided to go with the flow and no longer mention her thoughts.
In order to be convenient to carry on the road, Jiang Ping brought some dry food on this trip, such as flatbreads, pickles, salted eggs, small cakes, etc., although it tasted good occasionally, but after only two days in a row, blisters appeared on Lu Meijiao's mouth. (To be continued......)
