Chapter 18: Goodbye Loved One

Meng Zhen settled the money for the two guest rooms and the lunch with the shopkeeper, and then went back to the backyard and called Ah Shen out of the room.

Ah Shen hung his head slightly, and the coarse cloth burden in his arms covered half of his face.

The shopkeeper was old, and after collecting the money, he continued to nap against the counter, and the attention of the shopkeeper and the coachman was all focused on Meng Zhen, who was talking to them.

negotiated the price with the coachman, thanked the shopkeeper, and then Meng Zhen followed Ah Shen and got into the carriage.

As soon as the coachman waved his whip, the carriage trotted in the direction of Ninghai County.

From Mujiaji to Ninghai County, it takes about an hour to take the carriage, and when they set off at this time, the coachman can return to Mujiaji Town before dark, so that he can save a sum of money for staying in the county.

"Knock knock."

At the beginning of Shen Shichu (three o'clock in the afternoon), in Ninghai County, Ah Shen knocked on the old wooden door of Hao Mengyun's house at the signal of Meng Zhen.

Meng Hao stood behind him and took two coins of silver to the coachman, which was the price she had negotiated with the other party before.

The coachman happily took the silver, and then drove the carriage away with a dazzle, and Meng Zhen walked to Ah Shen's side.

Hao Mengyun came quickly, and as soon as Meng Zhen stood in front of the door, Hao Mengyun had already vigorously opened the door of his courtyard.

"Vera! It's really you! As he spoke, Hao Mengyun quickly crossed the threshold and walked towards Meng Hao.

"Quick, get inside. If you don't come back, Ah Qi won't know you. As he spoke, Hao Mengyun was about to pull Meng Hao's arm.

Meng Hao smiled and called "Master", "I've worked hard for you this time." ”

"It's not me who is working hard, it's Xiao Wu, Ah Qi is all dependent on him to take care of him for a while." Hao Mengyun laughed brightly, and Meng Hao felt that she was in danger of being blinded.

She pointed at Ah Shen and said to Hao Mengyun: "Master, don't be in a hurry to drag me into the house first, I'll introduce someone to you first." ”

Hao Mengyun tilted his head, "Yo, where did you come from?" What a vision! ”

Meng Zhen: ......

Shen: ......

Meng Hao stroked her forehead with her hand, "Let's go into the house first." ”

Count her afraid of Hao Mengyun's tiger and wolf words!

In order not to be chewed by the surrounding neighbors, Meng Hao decisively called Hao Mengyun and Ah Shen into the house first.

"His name is Su Shen, and he is my savior." When all three of them entered the main house of Hao Mengyun's house, Meng Hao introduced Su Shen to his master.

Hao Mengyun couldn't help but show gratitude when she heard this, she clasped her fists with both hands and bowed to Su Shen, "Thank you Su Shaoxia for saving my apprentice." ”

Su Shen was about to explain a few words, when he heard Hao Mengyun say again, "If Su Shaoxia encounters anything difficult in the future, just go to my family Zhen Zhen as soon as possible, and Zhen Zhen will definitely stick a knife in both sides at that time to repay your life-saving kindness." ”

Meng Zhen: ... So you, a master, only thank you for saving your apprentice's life, and the only thing you can do is the fluttering sentence "Thank you Su Shaoxia for saving my apprentice"?

Su Shen didn't mind whether the other party thanked him verbally or materially, after all, he never thought of claiming to be Meng Hao's life-saving benefactor.

He just gave Meng Zhen a fever-reducing pill and a black-flour steamed bun, and then took care of her for a while.

This kind of work can only be regarded as a gesture for him, and he is embarrassed to show it.

However, Hao Mengyun's attitude made him feel that he wanted to laugh, but also felt that it was not appropriate to laugh, and he secretly glanced at Meng Zhen, who was also crying and laughing, and was quite speechless.

Meng Hao had long been accustomed to her master's occasional narrow-mindedness, she rubbed her face, and then decisively changed the topic, "Master, is Ah Qi on Uncle Yan's side now?" ”

Hao Mengyun bowed slightly, "Xiao Wu took him to the street to watch the monkeys, and it is estimated that it will take a while to go home." ”

Meng Zhen thought for a while, "Then I'll go buy some food first, it's rare that the matter is over, and I'll make some food for everyone in the evening." ”

Hao Mengyun suddenly smiled even more happily, "That's a good feeling, then we'll go grocery shopping now!" ”

As he spoke, Hao Mengyun was about to go and get the small wicker basket hanging in the utility room.

Meng Hao looked helpless, "Master, and Ah Shen, should you find a place to help me settle Ah Shen first?" ”

Hao Mengyun patted his head, "When it comes to eating, I don't remember anything." In this way, my two east wings here are always empty, and all the bedding and stuff are ready-made, so you can let him choose one to live in. ”

"Then let him live in the South House, the South House has a better light." Meng Hao didn't let Su Shen pick by herself, she knew more about these rooms of Hao Mengyun's house than Su Shen.

Hao Mengyun nodded, "That's it, that's Nanwu." ”

The only difference between the South House and the North House is the location, the South House is a little farther away from the main house, and the front of the window is empty, there are no trees to block it, so the house has a little better lighting than the North House.

The two decided on Ah Shen's residence in a few words, Meng Hao opened the door and asked Ah Shen to rummage through the kang cabinet to find pillows and bedding by herself, while she followed Hao Mengyun to the market to buy vegetables.

Because she, Ah Shen and Meng Qi were all in the period of filial piety, Meng Zhen did not buy big fish and meat, she bought vegetables, melons and fruits, tofu and eggs and some spices.

Hao Mengyun originally wanted to let Meng Hao choose, and she would pay, but Meng Hao insisted on paying herself.

It's not good for the two to fight over this matter in the bazaar, so Hao Mengyun simply let Meng Zhen go.

Meng Zhen bought things very quickly, and in less than half an hour, the two of them returned to Hao Mengyun's house with a wicker basket containing vegetables.

When they came back, Yan Zhenwu had already taken Meng Qi back to his home.

Seeing that the courtyard door next door was not locked, Hao Mengyun went over the wall to Yan Zhenwu's house as soon as he entered the courtyard.

After a while, Yan Zhenwu and Meng Qi were led over by Hao Mengyun.

Meng Qi called "sister" and trotted into Meng Zhen's arms, while Yan Zhenwu stood in the courtyard and looked at Ah Shen without a trace.

"Sister, you're back, Ah Qidu is about to die of worry." The little guy hugged Meng Hao's legs, and said in a milky voice that he was worried and missed his sister.

Meng Hao touched his black and soft hair, "It's Sister A's bad, Sister Ah won't leave you in the future." ”

Xiao Meng Qi was overjoyed, "Then let's pull the hook." ”

He is still young, and he is far more dependent on his parents than Meng Zhen, so the death of Meng Qingze and his wife has a particularly great impact on him.

In addition, in order to avenge Meng Qingze and his wife, Meng Zhen left for a long time, and she didn't have time to comfort Xiao Meng Qi, who had just lost her parents.

Both parents are dead, and the only sister is not around, even if Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun are very good to him, Xiao Meng Qi will inevitably be panicked.

Now that Sister Ah has finally come back, Sister Ah promised that she would never leave him alone again, and Xiao Meng Qi was so happy that she wanted to jump on the spot a few times.
