Chapter 7: The Traveler
Lin Qiantan stayed in the Wang family for several days.
The sky was covered with black clouds and heavy rain, which rained day and night, but the rain hardly became lighter. Everything is similar to what Lin Qiantan has experienced in her impression.
The village of Sengoku is located on the water's edge, and the residents who live here are obviously experienced in dealing with these weather changes such as wind and rain. The village's flood control function is also very in place, even if it rains heavily outside, Lin Qiantan lives in a high place, and does not have to worry too much about the water level rising to her feet.
The only thing is that the rain always falls like this, and people are forced to stay in the house and can't go out, which inevitably makes them feel a little stuffy and uncomfortable.
Lin Qiantan is okay, just using this time to fully summarize the memories of her two lives.
Some of the messy areas in the mind are also sorted out as much as possible. But after all, several years have passed, and many of the past events may not be remembered clearly, so it is inevitable that there will be confusion of memories or simply a blank place that cannot be remembered.
She often pretends to sleep on the bed in the guest room, but she is actually doing these tidying ups. Song thought that she was tired from the journey, so she didn't think much about it, and told the two accompanying maids not to disturb as much as possible.
Lin Qiantan sometimes thinks about it and accidentally really sleeps it, sleeps a lot during the day, and often can't sleep at night. But after two or three days, her routine was out of order.
But Lin Qiantan also has a preliminary plan for what to do next.
In her previous life, in addition to being sold three times because she was too stupid, she was still there to help people make money, and the fate of that life was also largely due to the fact that she lost the protection of her mother, the Chu family.
Although the Lin family of the Dongshan Hou Mansion is her father's family, they will not actually give her much support and help, but at the critical moment of her fate many times, it is the people of the Dongshan Hou Mansion who have fallen into the well and pushed her into an even more miserable situation.
And the Chu family ......
Without any speculation, Lin Qiantan concluded that the reason why the Chu family went from a family family that had lasted for hundreds of years to extinction, and the birds threw themselves into the forest, was undoubtedly due to the blessing of Wang Yanshao of Dongping County.
The establishment of the court of the Great Shang State was only a few years old, and only two people sat on the emperor's throne. The founding emperor Yan Jian complied with the will of the people, raised troops to eliminate the tyrants of the Xia Dynasty, and established the Great Shang. But the earliest crown prince he ordained was not Yan Guang, who is now sitting on the throne.
The abolished crown prince Yan Yong died in the struggle for imperial power, but he did not leave a bloodline inheritance behind him.
Yan Shao is his son.
The Chu family was worried by Yan Guang because they were too close to this prince with special blood, and they became the soul of the imperial power!
Therefore, the first thing Lin Qiantan had to do was to prevent the Chu family from being brought to the point of no return by Yan Shao.
According to memory, Lin Qiantan knew that at the Chu family's birthday banquet in the near future, there would be a good show related to Yan Shao, and she needed to go to Beijing early and prepare early, of course, she didn't have the heart to entangle with Wang Ergou for a belly pocket here in Qianshi Village.
The left and right are just a piece of cloth, and it won't be worth thousands of dollars just because she wore it. Lin Qiantan has been through a lot of things, and she has long looked down on these. Anyway, what shouldn't have been taken has been taken, and she just lost a washcloth.
But after all, because the trajectory of history has taken a big turn in such a small thing as a belly pocket, Lin Qiantan has seen that some things have become different because she has made a different choice.
The first one is that she has lived in the Wang family for two or three days, and she has not seen the "old" wife of the Wang family in her previous life, Xia Sanniang, who she saw in the east window of the belly pocket stealing incident.
The rain outside the house was terrifying, even if it was a courtyard walking a few steps from under the corridor from this side to the other side, it was too lazy to walk, let alone deliberately walk a long way to visit Xia Sanniang.
Xia Sanniang is the mother of the Wang brothers, and in Lin Qiantan's impression she is a somewhat dignified and stereotyped person......
Under the porch outside the window, there was the voice of Jinhe and Zhimei who had deliberately lowered their voices. Lin Qiantan's thoughts were gradually interrupted, and she moved her head slightly from the pillow and looked out.
I saw that the sky was still dark, and the rain flooded the earth as if it didn't cost anything, and the water flowed in vain. But Lin Qiantan knew that this rain should not be long in coming.
In my ears was the voice of Zhimei and Jinhe accidentally speaking louder.
Jinhe is not a person who can be locked up, he has long had mold on his body and complained again and again. When Mei swallowed warmly, she was also stuffy by the heavy rain and couldn't stand it, and rarely cooperated with Jinhe to nag a sentence or two. Lin Qiantan didn't see Song, and estimated where she was nesting to sew underwear and underwear for her.
Lin Qiantan stumbled and put her feet on the ground, put on embroidered shoes, and tried to get up by herself. But the movement of her getting up quickly alarmed the two people who were talking outside. When Mei and Jinhe heard the voice, they turned around and hurried in to serve.
Lin Qiantan smiled: "What were you talking about just now?" She only vaguely listened to it.
Jin He didn't speak, but waited for Mei Wensheng to speak first: "I'm talking about the fact that the Wang family has guests again."
Lin Qiantan heard the word "again", and really followed Zhimei's words and asked.
This time, the one who spoke became Jinhe.
Jin He took the coat and put it on Lin Qiantan, and said: "This morning, the boy from the Wang family who brought us food ate my nest candy, so he said a few more words, and said that a group of people came in front of him in the rain, and they all lived in like a chicken in soup, and I don't know what the way it is."
After Mei glanced at Jinhe, she stole a glance at Lin Qiantan, and saw that she was not displeased, so she added softly: "The slave maid also glanced at it from a distance, and there were more than a dozen people in groups, just like us......"
Lin Qiantan let out a "hmm", and didn't pay much attention to what she heard, just thinking that those people were travelers who were trapped by the heavy rain like them, but they didn't know that these people were not ordinary people.
Lin Qiantan didn't notice that Jin He mentioned "Wang family boy" when she spoke, and she didn't know that what she ate and drank for two or three days in a row was personally sent to her by Wang Ergou.
Jin He saw that she was not very interested in these things, so she did not chase after her.
Lin Qiantan's guess was not wrong, the heavy rain in the sky looked terrible, but it was actually the end of the strong crossbow. But one day, at night, the sound of rain beating outside the window stopped unconsciously.
Lin Qiantan happened to sleep too much during the day, and she didn't feel sleepy, so she noticed this. She got up cautiously, secretly put on her own coat, bypassed the sleeping Jinhe, and came alone to the courtyard outside the house.
I couldn't hear it in the house, but when I came to the courtyard, I could faintly hear a faint noise coming from nowhere. Lin Qiantan made the recognition, and it sounded like something was being waved quickly. She didn't care, she just thought that it was a servant of the Wang family who worked at night, and when she returned to the house, she left it behind.
