Suzhou to Nanjing said that it is not far away, said that it is not close, after all, it is the afternoon departure, and it is a huge team, procrastinating until the evening, only to arrive at the Huang Ayayi more than 20 miles outside the city of Suzhou.

At this time, the twilight has been thick, the breeze sends a drizzle, I feel the melancholy of the journey, there is a bluestone arch bridge outside the post station, the unknown small yellow flowers bloom all over the stream, it is really the side of the broken bridge outside the post, the lonely open ownerless, it is already dusk alone and sad, more wind and rain.

Although Zhang Sunsheng asked Li Mi to escort him by name, in fact, Li Mi didn't need to worry about anything, everything was done by the officials of Wu County and Ying Tianfu, and Zhang Sunsheng even arranged a pony for Li Mi.

Although she felt sorry for Qiu Dong, Li Mi could only let her walk after all, and it would be too blatant to let her sit on horseback.

Because they were in a hurry to get to the post station, they didn't stop halfway, Luo Ruwang and the others didn't take care of talking to Li Mi, Wang Shisu and Zheng Duofu hid comfortably in the carriage, Li Mi led the horse from time to time, whispered with Qiu Dong, and the boredom of the dispatch journey also gave her some psychological support, after all, he could see that Qiu Dong was only afraid that his feet had worn out, and his walking posture was a little awkward.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to go, the sky was overcast, it was raining lightly, and the attendants began to take care of the cart, and Li Mi gave up the little pony to Qiu Dong.

Although this girl was a slave in Wu Weizhong's mansion, Wu Baizhi didn't like to move, and she didn't have a chance to learn to ride a horse.

After all, Suzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water and land roads are also accessible in all directions, whether it is commercial or official, it needs unimpeded traffic conditions, so the post station is also indispensable, and the scale is not small.

Huang Ayayi is next to the official road, is the only way to Jinling, earlier only received official personnel, and later some of the family members of the official eunuchs, can also enjoy the reception of the post station, after setting a precedent, the rules are getting looser and looser, as long as it is a rich serious family, can live in the post station to rest.

However, Ying Tianfu Yin's name is too big, and the post station has also driven away the idlers and others in advance, and the rest are some residents with relatively solid relationships, just to avoid suspicion, they are still shrinking in the house, and they dare not come out to show their heads.

Many servants and servants are not qualified to live in the room, and Li Mi is naturally no exception, but he is distressed about Qiu Dong, so he cheekily mentioned it to Zhang Sunsheng.

Although this road is dusty, and the face is dusty in autumn and winter, it is no different from the officials, but in the end, it is the posture of his daughter's family, Zhang Sun has read countless people, and he can see it.

He was brought to Ying Tianfu by Li Mi today, just to cultivate and promote this young man, how could he not give this convenience.

Even so, it was not good to do too much, so he arranged a C-sized inferior room for Li Mi and Qiu Dong.

Although this room is not big, it is very clean, and the most satisfying thing is that there is even hot water prepared.

It is not unreasonable for women to travel long distances and sail long distances, and it is not unreasonable for the old men to take a bath for ten and a half months, but the daughter's house will not be able to stand it for a day or two.

Li Mi was also considerate, and when he saw the hot water brought by the labor mother of the post station, he walked out of the room under the pretext of standing outside the door and smoking.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature is gradually lowering, which is exceptionally cool, Li Mi looked at the busy figure in the opposite room, and looked at the hurried post guards in the courtyard of the post station, which was also interesting.

Qiu Dong obviously didn't dare to delay for too long, and after a while, he opened a crack in the door, but he didn't greet Li Mi.

Li Mi walked into the room, but saw Qiu Dong huddled on the bed, the sheet was tightly covered, but the sheet was very thin, and it could be seen that she was not wearing clothes.

Li Mi only remembered at this time that due to the rain, their bags were soaked in water, their change of clothes were soaked, and there were no dry clothes to change in autumn and winter.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find you a new dry outfit." Li Mi didn't dare to look at it too much, and said this behind Qiu Dong's back, but Qiu Dong said something to stop him.

"Don't ...... Brother Li, don't go, I'm alone...... Will be afraid ......"

Li Mi thought about it, and it was true, although the post station had been cleared, Qiu Dong was a daughter's family after all, so he was not at ease.

"Then I'll go out to smoke, and when the old mother comes, I'll let her go find clothes."

Li Mi said that he was about to go out, but Qiu Dong said again: "Brother Li, you are wet, so let's take a hot bath first...... lest you catch a cold......"

"I ...... I'll wash it later......"

"The hot water is going to be cold in a while...... Brother Li doesn't have to scruple so much, Qiu Dong is your slave, and it shouldn't be if you fail to serve Brother Li, and Big Brother doesn't have to shy away from slaves......"

Li Mi also knew that in ancient times, slaves and maids, especially girls in the room, were not uncommon to wait for their masters to take a bath, and it was also common to warm the bed and sleep.

Even so, Li Mi was still a little hesitant in the end, but everyone and the girl had already taken the initiative to speak regardless of their cheekiness, worried that he would catch a cold, and he should not think about the evil side.

But he also didn't have any clothes that he could change, so he said to Qiudong: "Let's wait for my mother to find dry clothes and then wash them." ”

Because of the arrival of Tianfu Yin, the whole post station was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and she did not dare to slack off at all, and the old mother quickly turned around, and Li Mi asked her to take two sets of clothes.

Although it was only coarse cloth clothes, it was new, and Qiu Dong was also very satisfied, Li Mi went out, waited until Qiu Dong was dressed, and then came in, went around the back of the curtain, and took a quick shower with the remaining hot water.

When Li Mi came out, Qiu Dong was already sitting on the edge of the bed, with a shy face, burying his head deeply, and he didn't dare to look up at Li Mi.

The atmosphere is also embarrassing, although Qiu Dong is a slave, but after all, it is everyone's beautiful background, and her posture and temperament are good.

"I'll go out and get you something to eat."

Seeing Li Mi leaving in embarrassment, Qiu Dong was a little funny and a little lost, but Li Mi quickly returned to the room with food, and after the two of them ate, Qiu Dong made a bunk, obviously to give the bed to Li Mi.

Li Mi has never treated Qiu Dong as a slave, so naturally he will not agree, and he is angry, which makes Qiu Dong sleep in bed with peace of mind.

It was raining outside at night, but the room was extremely warm, as if the two of them were getting hotter and hotter, and the whole room was hot.

Li Mi couldn't help but think of Yao, and he didn't know her real identity, and he didn't even know her real name, Li Mi only remembered that her plump body and delicate skin didn't match her age at all, maybe she was younger than she lied.

Thinking of this, Li Mi was inevitably a little distracted, he could clearly hear Qiu Dong's rapid breathing, he knew that this girl was also so nervous that he couldn't sleep, and he knew that this was a flower for him to pick, but he didn't want to do it.

Because this innocence is too precious for ancient women, how can she ruin a woman's life because of her impulsiveness?

The two of them were holding on to each other in the room, and Qiu Dong Xu wanted to talk to Li Mi, but it was difficult to speak several times.

Li Mi was afraid that he would not be able to hold it after he spoke, so he forcibly refused to speak, until about the third watch, he finally broke the silence, but this way of breaking the silence was not what Li Mi wanted.

"Ahh

A scream broke the silence of the rainy night, and then there was a chaotic movement, and the whole post station became manic in an instant like a cat whose tail had been trampled on!

When you go out, you can't be too casual, and you have the same room with Qiu Dong, Li Mi just slept with her clothes, and when she heard the movement, she whispered to Qiu Dong: "Don't run around, stay in the room, lock the door, and no one will open the door except me!" ”

Qiu Dong was also frightened, and did not respond for a while, Li Mi said loudly: "Don't remember!" It's not me, don't open the door! ”

Qiu Dong nodded blankly at this time, and Li Mi had already pushed the door out!

When he arrived at the door, Li Mi saw that the entire courtyard was lit up in all four rooms, and the upstairs and downstairs were also awakened by this scream.

Since Li Mi didn't fall asleep, he pushed the door to check first, and at this time he saw that the door of a first-class room on the second floor was wide open, and several people were vomiting at the door!

"Wang Shisu?"

Li Mi had already walked in at this time, but he saw Wang Shisu and Zheng Duofu, as well as Zhang Sunsheng and others, all lying on their stomachs or squatting, vomiting wildly without any image!

"There's no going to happen to any homicides, is there?" Li Mi was also puzzled in his heart, and asked when he got closer.

"What happened?"

Zhang Sunsheng heard Li Mi's voice, so he raised his head, and just wanted to speak, he was nauseous again, but Wang Shisu, Zheng Duofu and others next to him kept burying their heads and vomiting, it seemed that they were picking their throats and forcibly vomiting!

Zhang Sunsheng couldn't speak for a while, so he pointed behind him, and Li Mi had no choice but to enter the room by himself.

At this time, the room is like a fierce beast with a big mouth open, although there are many candlesticks lit and the lights are bright, but it gives people a strange sense of persecution.

There are a lot of delicious food and wine on the table in the middle, it is still warm, and there is a slight smoke, thinking that these people are also a long night, drinking and talking, but the strange thing is that Zheng Duofu is such a woman, even if she dresses as a man, it is impossible to participate, why is she outside the room?

Part of the wine and food on the table was knocked over, thinking that it should have been done when they were panicking, Li Mi did not see the scene of the murder, and was even more puzzled, why were they so frightened, and why did they pick their throats and vomit desperately?

Li Mi couldn't help but shift his gaze to the dining table, this post station also took great pains to please Ying Tianfu Yin, even in the middle of the night, several adults wanted to talk at night, and they also prepared extremely rich wine and food.

This table full of delicacies of chicken, duck and fish, although rich, is also ordinary, and Li Mi has not seen anything unusual.

Just as they were about to go out and ask Zhang Sunsheng, Li Mi's eyes fell on the wooden barrel in front of their seats!

There was still half of the rice left in the barrel, and there was more or less left in the bowls of the seats, and they were ready to finish the feast, and everyone ate some rice to fill their stomachs.

Looking at the wooden barrel and the leftover rice in their bowls, Li Mi finally knew why they were picking their throats and vomiting wildly!
