Chapter 312: There is no danger and then go on the road
Nian Zhen said angrily: "He must be in cahoots with these people, there is nothing to be sorry for him!" Besides, we didn't really burn down his inn! ”
Wan Zhang also said: "That's right, this shopkeeper is not innocent, we don't have to pity him!" ”
Wan Lin looked at the smoke that had dissipated a lot, and threw an appreciative look at Fu Xiaojiu, "The lady is resourceful, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to stand here so peacefully." ”
Nian Zhen suddenly asked with some worry: "Xiao Jiu, won't they come to us again to trouble us in the future?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu replied: "Let's go out of the city at dawn, the distance from here to the next county seat is not far, it is estimated that we will be able to arrive after noon." I don't believe they're going to chase us that far. ”
Wan Lin said affirmatively: "Yes, as long as we leave, it will be safe." They don't have that much patience to keep up with us. ”
When the shopkeeper rushed upstairs with a bucket of water, he found that the source of the smoke was a pile of dead branches burning in a copper basin. The reason why there is so much smoke from dead branches is because there are some wormwoods mixed in it, and the smell is particularly choking, and there is a lot of smoke.
The shopkeeper guessed that Fu Xiaojiu might have done it, and now he knew what was going on, and he didn't plan to tell it.
When he gave incense to his father just now, he also lamented that people can't do bad things.
Fortunately, he didn't help the abuse later, otherwise if Fu Xiaojiu didn't have a good heart, he really burned down his inn without leaving a trace, and his family business would be ruined.
After the shopkeeper found out about his conscience, he also instructed the guys in the store, saying that they were not allowed to go out and talk nonsense about the fire, otherwise it would affect the business of the store, and said that the guys who came to fight the fire today would give a reward.
The guys didn't have a hard time with the money, and they all promised to keep their mouths shut.
The shopkeeper quickly came out to explain to the guests waiting outside, saying that it was just a small fire, which had been extinguished and would not affect everyone's safety and rest.
Fu Xiaojiu and the others mixed in the crowd and returned to their rooms.
"Alright, this time we can sleep soundly."
Fu Xiaojiu plugged in the door, and for the sake of prudence, he still used an oil-paper umbrella to make a door-to-door device.
"Although I tossed around just now, I was really happy in my heart. Fulang, you really have the means! ”
Wan Zhang admired Fu Xiaojiu so much, and said: "If you are a man, I'm afraid it will be even more amazing!" ”
After speaking, he joked to Wan Lin again: "Brother Lin, you must be named on the gold list, otherwise you will not be worthy of your powerful lady!" ”
Wan Lin agreed seriously: "What Brother Zhang said is that if I don't make myself better, I really don't deserve my wife." ”
Fu Xiaojiu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two don't hold me, I should fall from a high place if I am dizzy by you again!" ”
Wan Lin secretly raised the corners of his mouth, proud of a brave and resourceful lady like Fu Xiaojiu.
In more than an hour, the sky should be brightened, and everyone tossed enough, although it was nothing serious, but the people from the yamen also came to take a look.
Because most of the students living here are students, Xue County Ling and Master Xue did not dare to disturb them, considering that there might be hidden dragons and crouching tigers among these students.
So even if they knew which room Fu Xiaojiu was in, they didn't dare to make any more moves.
After Xue Zhao and Xue Lai learned about what had just happened, they were all so angry that they scolded their subordinates for being rice buckets.
That's not all, when they knew that the people from the yamen had gone to the inn, but when they got there, they looked at it and came back, and the two of them were even more angry and went directly to their respective Lao Tzu.
Xue Xian Ling first reprimanded Xue Zhao, and then said a few words in his ear, Xue Zhao listened, and the anger on his face finally dissipated.
As soon as the sky was bright, Fu Xiaojiu and the others woke up.
A few people quickly packed up their things and went out.
The coachman slept really well this night, he didn't hear any movement, and after being pushed by Wan Lin to wake up, he asked why he set off so early?
Wan Lin said that the inn was on fire last night, and they didn't sleep well, so they walked to the next county seat early today, and they could rest early tonight.
The coachman listened to the owner and immediately drove off.
Finally out of Songjiang County, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
But Fu Xiaojiu hadn't completely relaxed his vigilance, and looked out of the car window from time to time.
A fiery red sun gradually rises from the rice fields and woods on both sides, making people feel full of hope when they see it.
There were gradually more pedestrians and cars on the road, and as there were more and more people on the road, Fu Xiaojiu and others became more and more at ease.
Fu Xiaojiu said to everyone: "Everyone got up early, they didn't sleep much, it's okay now, let's squint for a while." ”
Nianzhen's eyelids have begun to sink, she has always felt sleepy lately, when she was so thrilling last night, she was sleepy, and blamed herself for whether her heart was too big.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't wait to finish speaking, Nianzhen leaned on Wan Zhang's shoulder and closed his eyes.
"Nianzhen, I'll check your pulse when you get to the place in a while." Fu Xiaojiu said softly.
"Okay." Nian Zhen replied lazily, and suddenly she opened her eyes suddenly, and said incredulously: "You want to take my pulse?" Are you suspicious of me......"
Nianzhen is also a person who has been a mother, she has experience, and as soon as Fu Xiaojiu said this, she understood what Fu Xiaojiu meant.
Fu Xiaojiu smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean." ”
Wan Zhang was confused, and asked confusedly: "Lady, Fulangzhong, what do you mean?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled mysteriously, "I suspect you're going to be a father again!" ”
"What? I'm going to be a dad again? ”
Wan Zhang was not ready yet, he was immediately startled when he heard Fu Xiaojiu say this.
Fu Xiaojiu said happily: "That's what I guessed, but I guessed it accurately." If you pass the test, your family will be double happy! ”
Although Wan Zhang was happy, he was even more worried, "Oh, I knew that my mother was pregnant, so I didn't let her accompany me out, the bumps and frightens along the way are really enough for her and the child to stand it!" ”
Nianzhen was no longer sleepy, and said energetically: "Since I can accompany you out, it means that I am not afraid of sin!" Our children are not afraid of sin. Later, when he grows up, he will know that he accompanied his father to participate in the township examination, and he will feel honored! ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded and said: "Nianzhen's idea is right, we are much happier than those students who take ox carts and walk to the provincial capital to take exams, if we can't even stand this bit of hardship, we will not be worthy of being your wife and children in the future." ”
"This mouth of yours is really powerful, what else can Brother Zhang and I say when you say that?"
Nianzhen touched her stomach and said, "Child, you have to be strong this time, we can't hold your father back!" ”
When the people in the carriage were immersed in an atmosphere of joy, the carriage suddenly jolted, and Nian Zhen immediately fell to one side.
Wan Chang quickly hugged her and didn't let her hit the side of the carriage.
Wan Lin also protected Fu Xiaojiu in time.
"What just happened?"
Fortunately, the bump was only a momentary and nothing serious.
Wan Lin stuck his head out to look, and found that the people around him and other carriages were normal, and when he looked back, there was a stone in the place just now, which happened to be off the wheel.
The coachman turned back to Wan Lin and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the stone in front of me, which frightened you." ”
Wan Lin said generously: "It's okay, please pay more attention, don't drive the car too fast." ”
"Okay!"
The coachman didn't say much, but he wondered in his heart, there was no stone in front of him, when did that stone appear?
The road was quite smooth, at noon they deliberately found a crowded section of the road to stop and rest for a while, everyone ate something, checked that there were no suspicious people around, and then continued to hurry.
The distance was similar to what Fu Xiaojiu expected, and they arrived at the next county seat in the afternoon.
They asked what the best inn in town was, and the locals told them, and they stayed at the best inn in the area.
There are not many students who come to live in this inn, and there are more vacant rooms at present, and when they come, there are still two upper rooms left, and the two young couples have their own rooms, and the coachman also lives in a bunk.
The rooms of the two houses are next to each other, so it is easy to take care of them.
Fu Xiaojiu carefully checked the doors and windows of the room, and checked the things in the room before sitting down with confidence.
After Fu Xiaojiu finished checking it, Wan Lin asked, "Lady, do you think it's safe here?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu replied: "At present, it is still safe." You see, the people who come here to stay are generally rich people, either sons or wealthy businessmen, or some rich uncles on the rivers and lakes. There are also bodyguards at the door of this inn, which is reassuring to look at. I guess the identity of the innkeeper is definitely not simple, I'm afraid it's not so easy to buy. So I think it's safer here. ”
Wan Lin thought about it for a while, and said with reassurance: "I also noticed the guests here just now, and they are indeed those people like the lady said. Looks like we'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight. ”
Fu Xiaojiu simply cleaned up his things, and then went to check Nianzhen's pulse.
As Fu Xiaojiu expected, Nianzhen really has it!
Fu Xiaojiu said happily: "You have been in body for more than a month, I'm afraid it's about to be happy, I'll prescribe some conditioning medicine for you, and I'll go to the pharmacy to grab medicine for you in a while." ”
Wan Zhang said sensibly: "Where are you still bothered, when you write the prescription, I will go to grab the medicine, and by the way, I will buy some snacks and fruits for the two of you." ”
Fu Xiaojiu said: "Okay, then I'll stay with Nianzhen, Nianzhen needs to rest now, and can't go out and walk around." ”
Wan Lin said lively: "I'll go with Brother Zhang, too, and see if there are any fun things to buy back, so that you can relieve your boredom." ”
Wan Lin also looked at Fu Xiaojiu after speaking, and seemed to be asking for Fu Xiaojiu's opinion.
Fu Xiaojiu waved his little hand, "Go ahead, you two go and let the wind go, it can also make you feel better." ”
"Thank you, lady!" Wan Lin exaggeratedly made a gesture.
Nianzhen soon fell asleep, and Fu Xiaojiu sat beside her and read the medical book.
At this time, there were guests at the inn again, but these people went straight to the shopkeeper's room.
