Chapter 216: Plan
In this way, Liu Xiaoshu and Qin Ergouzi finally rested in the firewood room.
"I can only let you squeeze the firewood room, this is the meal just made for those of them, I secretly left one for you!" The woman said with a guilty face as she brought her food.
After all, it's a tael of silver, which is enough to catch up with their chewing for more than half a year, not only the men in the family are tempted, but even the woman is happy, but the couple has no bad intentions, and they won't really die without help.
"That's good, thank you, auntie."
For small farmers, what does this tael of silver mean to them, Qin Ergouzi knows it, and he is actually very grateful to the husband and wife for taking them in, and the most important thing is that they can still live in the same courtyard with Tong Shuangxi and Wei Bowang in the end.
When the woman returned to the kitchen, the man asked the woman, "Have you delivered all the food?" Is the young master awake? ”
The woman smiled and said: "They are all sensible people, and they all understand our difficulties, the young master has also woken up, I see that my face is good, it should be because I am tired from the journey." ”
The husband and wife talked for a while, and began to busily bring the cooked food to the guests.
When the food was served, the men did not eat it immediately, but asked one of them to bring it to the two people in the room.
"Give that little girl less to eat, save more time!"
The person who accompanied Tong Shuangxi into Xiaolinzi before frowned and said.
Seeing this, a few people at the table couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Don't take advantage of your kid and sell well, I look at this little girl, why don't you look down on it!" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
Tong Shuangxi and Wei Bowang were locked up in a room with only a bed cabinet, Tong Shuangxi guessed that it should be the child's room, and she found a few objects in this room that boys often play with.
"I don't know where the two of them live?"
Tong Shuangxi knew that Liu Xiaoshu and Qin Ergouzi also lived in this house, and he couldn't help but worry about it.
Wei Bowang shook his head at Tong Shuangxi, made a "shhhh
After a night's journey, Tong Shuangxi and Wei Bowang's stomachs were already hungry.
The woman in this family must be a good cook, Tong Shuangxi looked at the few side dishes in the bowl and made them very refreshing, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
When the two of them had eaten their fill, they heard a woman's voice outside: "If Miss is in a hurry, tell me, and I will stay at the door."
"Auntie, what about the two who are guarding us?"
Tong Shuangxi was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The woman answered honestly, "The men who had eaten some wine, and some of them were drunk, and they all went back to rest, and the two brothers said that I should keep watch for a while, and they came after eating." ”
Tong Shuangxi was even happier in her heart, she hurriedly ran to the door, and then asked the woman, "Auntie, do you know why we are locked in the house?" ”
Tong Shuangxi said tentatively.
The woman outside said with some hesitation: "Miss, let's go back with the family, the identity difference between you and that family is too big, you will know when you reach my age, don't do stupid things on impulse." ”
After listening to this woman's words, Tong Shuangxi understood how this group of people explained themselves and Wei Bowang.
The elope between Miss Mingmen and her family is a good story, and it can also explain why the two of them were locked up in the house and carriage all the way.
"Auntie, is that fainted young master awake, don't implicate them because of our affairs, they have nowhere to live!" Tong Shuangxi knew that there was not much time left for him, so he asked.
The woman saw that although the young lady had done a foolish thing, she was kind, and she could not help but have a good impression of her, so she replied to her: "Don't get in the way, their master and servant live in the firewood room next to the young lady's house, and my man will not freeze them if he brings a thick quilt." ”
The woman knew that the master and servant and the group had been on the road all night, and that they must have slept for half a day.
Tong Shuangxi was about to say something, but he heard footsteps, it should be the two people who were guarding them who came over after eating.
When the woman saw them coming, she said goodbye and went back to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then left.
Tong Shuangxi nodded at Wei Bowang and motioned for him to look to the left side of the house.
Generally, people's firewood rooms are located on the left, and according to the woman's words, Qin Ergouzi and Liu Xiaogonggong should live in the firewood room separated by a wall from this room at this time.
Over there, Qin Ergouzi also wanted to ask this woman about something, but he was stopped by Liu Xiaogonggong.
"Let's not be self-defeating and make those people suspicious."
Qin Ergouzi was shocked in his heart, and felt that Liu Xiaogong's words made sense, so they still followed cautiously and waited for Wei Bowen to bring someone over.
After the woman left, Tong Shuangxi sat down against the door, and after a while, Tong Shuangxi heard the sound of snoring coming from behind the door.
According to Tong Shuangxi's observation, these people are in a hurry at night, and they will definitely sleep during the day, and their two rooms are locked from the outside, so the two people guarding the door will also squint for a while.
"Is anyone there?"
After waiting for a while, after the two of them were almost asleep, Tong Shuangxi walked to the base of the wall, knocked quietly, and then asked in a low voice.
After going back and forth like this a few times, Tong Shuangxi could also hear the person behind the wall knock gently, and then Qin Ergouzi's voice came: "Xiaoxi, it's us." ”
"Long story short, what's next for you?"
Tong Shuangxi was afraid of waking up the two of them, so he said.
"The two of us follow you, Wei Juren took the warrant of Zhu County's order, went to the nearby county town to report to the official, and then took the yacha to catch up with us."
Wei Bowen's identity as a person, coupled with Zhu County's warrant, wants to be able to call people in any county he goes, which is why Wei Bowen must be asked to call people.
Tong Shuangxi nodded, this is also the best way at present.
"We're fine, and you guys should take care of your own safety."
Knowing their plan, Tong Shuangxi was also relieved, and then after telling them a word, he didn't continue to say anything.
"I knew that, I ...... I'll be with you. Just as Tong Shuangxi was about to go back to the middle of the room and lie down for a while, Liu Xiaoshu's voice came from behind the wall.
Along the way, Liu Xiaoshu's intestines were about to regret it, and he thought that if something really happened to Tong Shuangxi, then he would blame himself for the rest of his life.
When it got dark, the carriage began to set off again, Tong Shuangxi was eating the soft white flour cake baked by the woman, and whispered to Wei Bowang: "I hope Wei Juren can bring someone over earlier, or if we really arrive in the capital, we don't know who will be handed over, and maybe we won't even be able to eat the cake at that time." ”
