Chapter 60: A Rainy Night

In the past seven or eight days, due to the full preparation of food and clothing, they did not suffer much on the road, but had a bit of a modern tourist feeling.

It's just that sometimes it's inevitable that rain and wind will hinder their trip.

......The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Songhua was wearing a coat to catch the car, and the wind was carrying the raindrops on Songhua's face.

"Songhua, it's raining too much, find a place to park the carriage, you come in and take shelter from the rain!" Yan Yijun pushed the car door open a little and said loudly to Songhua.

"Okay!" Songhua opened his mouth with difficulty, he didn't see a place to rest all the way, he felt that he would get cold and sick if he ran like this again, and just when he couldn't support it, a few broken houses appeared not far away.

Songhua hurriedly stopped the carriage, Yan Yijun went down with an umbrella to investigate the situation, and only after there was no problem did he take Jiao Niang and Xin An to a house that could shelter from the rain.

Songhua followed in after settling the horse, Jiao Niang had already started to boil a pot of hot brown sugar ginger tea, and when she saw Songhua coming in, she quickly asked him to take off his clothes and drink brown sugar ginger tea.

Songhua was naturally moved, he had been a spy for so long, and he was a loner on weekdays, and few people cared about him so considerately: "Thank you, Miss Xin." ”

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. Hurry up and drink it while it's hot, don't catch a cold. Jiao Niang smiled, Songhua did work harder than all of them.

Yan Yijun had already started to lay out the futon to sleep on at night, and he was very particular about it, first finding some dry straw to spread it evenly, then taking the coarse cloth on the carriage that specially cushioned the floor, and then laying two layers of quilts on it, and finally pillows and bedding.

This bunk looks comfortable, and it is also very comfortable to sleep, thanks to Yan Yijun's blessing, Jiao Niang also feels okay when she sleeps in the wilderness. Yan Yijun paved two such floors, one Jiao Niang and Xin An slept, and the other he and Songhua took turns to sleep vigil.

Songhua finished drinking ginger tea and Jiao Niang began to cook today's dinner, the grilled fish she made before had already been eaten, and there was still the salted fish that Jiao Niang dried, she had already soaked the salted fish in water in the carriage, and now she directly braised it with pork belly.

Soon there was a fragrance in the broken house, and Jiao Niang fried another green vegetable. After she stewed the porridge that Xin An was going to eat, she roasted the steamed buns she had made before and started to eat dinner.

"Miss Xin's cooking is really delicious." Songhua praised while eating.

"My family used to run a snack shop." Jiao Niang explained with a smile, finished eating quickly after speaking, hugged Xin An in Yan Yijun's arms and let Yan Yijun eat.

When Xin An finished eating, the rain outside was even heavier, but a few people were also warm after eating, so they sat on the floor leisurely and watched the pouring rain outside the door.

"Da da da ......" The sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the heavy rain curtain, and several men in robes appeared in the rain curtain, and Jiao Niang took a closer look at them all carrying knives, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Yan Yijun and Songhua also noticed these people, and they silently blocked in front of Jiao Niang's sister and brother. The men dismounted and came in to hide from the rain, and were stunned when they saw that there were already people in the house.

"I'm sorry, it's raining too much, our brother will leave when the rain is light." A man who looked like a leader took the initiative to greet Yan Yijun and them.

"We're here to hide from the rain, so please take care of yourself." Yan Yijun nodded, still standing in front of Jiao Niang.

The group of people found a place far away from Yan Yijun and them to light a fire and take off their clothes, and a few people took out dry food and ate it.

"Big brother, is Concubine Lin really so evil? I heard that she was born as a village girl. A relatively young-looking man couldn't help but gossip while eating dry food.

An older man glanced at the boss, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he boldly said: "Not only the village aunt, but all the people in the family have been imprisoned, saying that they once saved our prince, so they were carried back to be a concubine, and then a side concubine." No, he pinched the princess again, and forced the princess to run back to her parents' house. ”

Jiao Niang secretly slandered in her heart, how does this seem to be Lin Qi, it seems that her combat power is still so strong, and she is also a side concubine, which is really the life of the heroine.

The boss frowned at this time: "The master's family affairs, how can we subordinates talk about it?" The men immediately fell silent.

The heavy rain was still falling, Jiao Niang held the sleeping Xin An and looked at the heavy rain outside the door blankly, looking at it, she found that a running figure suddenly appeared outside the door, the figure ran very fast, and rushed to the room almost in a blink of an eye.

It turned out to be a white-bearded old man, I saw him wipe the water on his face with his sleeve, his eyes glanced at the people in the house, and he said to Jiao Niang with a hippie smile: "Girl, can I ask you for a bowl of hot water to drink?" ”

Jiao Niang has been taught to respect the old and love the young since she was a child, and an old man who looks pitiful asks her for water, of course she will not refuse. She not only served hot water to the old man, but also served the white steamed buns and hot dishes to the old man.

The old man was not polite, he didn't even say a word of thanks, he devoured it, and after eating, he patted his stomach with satisfaction, stretched his waist, found a sheltered place and fell asleep.

Yan Yijun nodded to Songhua, and the two of them began to close their eyes to recuperate, and the group of strong men also sat in place with their eyes closed. Jiao Niang was speechless for a while, these people who practice martial arts are really powerful, can they rest in this posture?

She took off her shoes, slept on the bunk, hugged her brother and closed her eyes. In the heavy rain, a brief calm was restored in the dilapidated house......

Jiao Niang was woken up by the sound of people walking, and it was the group of people with knives. It turned out that I didn't know when the heavy rain stopped, and the group of people with knives immediately packed their things and prepared to leave.

After they left, the old man who was sleeping on the ground suddenly jumped up, and he ran to Jiao Niang's side and stuffed a broken bottle to Jiao Niang: "This is the reward for eating your food, this pill is a great supplement, and it can save people's lives." Originally, the old man wanted to kill those people here, but he was afraid that the sword would hurt you without an eye, so I went after them now. ”

Putting down these words, the old man ran away, Jiao Niang didn't come back to her senses with the broken bottle for a long time, Yan Yijun took the broken bottle in her hand, opened it and smelled it, and put it back in her hand.

"This is a good thing, you take it with you, the senior martial arts just now are unfathomable, it is easy for him to harm us, there is no need to lie to you."

Yan Yijun said to Jiao Niang, when the old man entered the door, he noticed that the old man was actually dry from head to toe in such a heavy rain, and the old man's internal strength must have reached its peak.

Jiao Niang nodded, the old routine in the novel, but unfortunately she is not the heroine Lin Qi, and this pill is not of much use to her, so it is better to give her some recipes.
