Chapter 172: Coming Home
Chapter 172: Going Home
It's a pity that Lou Yi's bold words to play the role of 'Maoshan Daoren' to bravely catch ghosts have not been realized. I had to hurry home.
Early in the morning, yesterday was a quiet night's sleep, without any miscellaneous invasions.
Most of the guests of the Fengxiang Inn have left, including the Lou family, and there are only five rooms for guests.
Lou Yi and Ding Feng practiced their fists and feet on the hillside at the back door of the inn early in the morning, until they were sweating profusely, and their whole body was comfortable, Lou Yi stretched his waist, and suddenly felt a wet rain and mist falling on his head, Lou Yi was startled, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously, and he actually saw two thrushes holding a huge lotus leaf with their beaks, wandering above his head.
"Reach out."
Lou Yi didn't have time to think about it, he put his two hands together and stretched out, and saw the two thrushes leaning down, and a series of dripping water droplets fell on his palm. It was cold and refreshing, which made Lou Yi shiver, but he felt a lot more energetic for a moment.
Lou Yi wiped his face with his hand, the refreshing taste was so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan twice, looked at the two small thrushes in surprise, and finally threw the whole big lotus leaf on the top of his head, one spinned, lingered in mid-air for a while, and then flew into the distance, Lou Yi was stunned for a long time, stretched out his hand, took down the lotus leaf on his head, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law...... In the future, a few more of them will come to our house to receive those beasts, I will not say more, they can take as many as they like...... Also, I don't think our magpies are noisy anymore......"
To tell the truth, a little early morning dew from the two little birds, for people, I am afraid that it is far from enough to wipe their faces, but these two thrushes, if they want to collect these dewdrops, I am afraid that they will have to watch three watches in the middle of the night, so they work hard to start busy, for the two of them, this 'reward'. It's already done with all its might.
Looking at Xiao Ru couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, Lou Yi should be glad that he is his father-in-law, he has a wife who understands beast language, so he can get such good treatment, if someone else moves the bird's nest, maybe he will be pecked a few times by the thrush as a bird thief, and slap his palm, how can there be this new thing of thrush repaying his kindness!
Seeing Lou Yi's intoxicated look, even Ding Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The three of them gossiped for a while, and when the sun rose, they went back to their houses, cleaned themselves, and sat down in the lobby of the inn waiting for breakfast.
As soon as the fragrant hot buns were placed on the table, a little snow-white fox dog rushed into the door of the inn and jumped on Xiao Ru's shoulder, Xiao Ru was stunned, "Huh? How did this lazy fox come running? While puzzled, he reached out and untied a bamboo tube tied around the neck of his little fox, and pulled out a note from it, which was very ordinary paper. However, the words chatting on it made Xiaoru cry out in surprise......
"Xiaoru?"
Lou Yi put the bun he had bitten into the plate in front of him, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law's face was getting more and more ugly, he couldn't help but be startled, and exclaimed, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong at home? ”
Xiao Ru gritted her teeth and threw the note in her hand in front of Lou Yi's eyes, rubbed the ground, stood up, rushed out of the door, and shouted at Jiang Tian, who was feeding her horses: "Jiang Tian, get the car ready, let's go home immediately." ”
As soon as people tossed on their backs, Lou Yi and Xiaoru sat in the carriage home.
The carriage was very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel depressed, Lou Yi coughed, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, your little dog is getting more and more clever, we have walked so far, it can also be found, it's not easy!" ”
At this time, the little fox was lying on Xiao Ru's lap on his back, letting Xiao Ru snort his snow-white belly for a while, squinting a pair of eyes, snoring lazily, and only occasionally moving his long ears twice, which was so cute, Xiao Ru sighed absentmindedly, and took out the note again. frowned and said: "The old man only said that our mother was injured, and asked us to go back quickly if we didn't have anything important, and I didn't say where we were injured, whether it was serious or not, how could it be hurt, this is not deliberately to make people anxious!" ”
Lou Yi sighed secretly, he was also anxious, that was his mother-in-law, could he not be in a hurry? However, the daughter-in-law has no master, he can't follow the chaos anymore, only smiled and comforted: "The old man didn't say it, let us have nothing important, just go back quickly, that is to say, our mother's injury is definitely not serious, otherwise, the old man should let us go back quickly, and if it is really urgent, the old man will not let your little fox come to deliver the letter, and the carrier pigeon specially trained by our old man is much faster than the little fox." It's also much more reliable, you say, isn't that the truth? ”
Xiao Ru nodded in a daze, and only urged Jiang Tian to leave quickly, Lou Yi didn't know what she said, whether she listened to it or not, thought about it, and found a topic to divert her thoughts: "Speaking of which, it's still your daughter-in-law, Ding Feng was the first to leave the Fengxiang Inn and go home, but you just said a few words." He agreed to stay without saying a word, not even saying that he was afraid of the dirty things that he was afraid of dying, Xiaosheng really admired, admired! ”
Even Xiao Ru, who was full of worries, couldn't help but be amused by his father-in-law with a little smile, shook his head and said: "I can figure it out, I don't believe you and Ding Feng can't figure it out, he didn't move there at all last night, after coming here, he couldn't sleep, but last night he slept until dawn, and, listening to him, he will go to Shangning County Ya for a while, I know that Ding Feng must also be tired of the haunted incident of Fengxiang Inn, maybe more than I am, that is, I don't say it today, He's definitely going to have to stay and figure things out. "Although his own mother is very important, according to Ding Feng's character, since he is suspicious, it is impossible for him to let go, of course he must stay.
Lou Yi smiled, and saw that his daughter-in-law had a clear mind and was not messed up, so he naturally quieted down and didn't say anything more.
The carriage galloped all the way, watching the flowers and trees rushing towards the back from a distance, the wind was very strong, blowing the curtain of the car, Lou Yi pressed his forehead, and for a while he felt that the bones in his body were broken.
Xiao Ru's carriage was originally padded with a very thick leather blanket and a bunch of soft cushions, and he couldn't feel the violent vibration of the ordinary carriage at all, but at this moment, Lou Yi and Xiao Ru, with the three maids, were dizzy from the bumps. But they all gritted their teeth and stiffened, and no one said anything about letting Jiang Tian slow down, so that the degree was nearly doubled, and before the sun rose overhead, he could already see his own bamboo forest.
All the way through the rugged path, until the gate galloped, Jiang Tian stopped the carriage and smashed the door several times, startling the old man Wang who was guarding the door.
“…… Young master, young lady? How did you come back so quickly? ”
Lou Yi got out of the carriage with his daughter-in-law, who was already dizzy, and then took a breath and asked, "Uncle Wang, how is my mother?" Is it badly hurt? ”
"Old lady?" Old Man Wang was dizzy for a long time before he suddenly said, "The old lady is nothing serious, Imperial Physician Gao and Imperial Physician Xu have both come to see it...... Hey, young lady? Master? You two walk slowly, fall carefully......"
Before Old Man Wang's words fell, Xiao Ru and Lou Yi had already run into her mother's bedroom, Lou Yi was better, but Xiao Ru was out of breath and could barely breathe, as soon as she entered the door, she saw her mother leaning on the bed and being a female red, so she hurriedly ran over and said hurriedly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Where's the injury? Let me see. ”
Although Old Man Wang said that his mother-in-law was nothing serious, since he asked the two imperial doctors to come and see, it must have hurt a lot, thinking about it, Xiaoru couldn't help but feel anxious and her nose was sore. grabbed his mother's hand and carefully checked her pulse, but her heart kept beating very quickly, and she couldn't sink her heart, so she naturally couldn't take the pulse, and for a while, the sweat on Xiaoru's body was dripping down, and after a while, even the robe was a little wet.
After being stunned for a long time, the old lady of the Lou family touched Xiaoru's head in amazement, and said suspiciously: "Xiaoru? Why did you guys come back so soon? Not much outside for a while......"
Xiaoru raised her head, finally took a breath, and took a closer look at her mother-in-law's situation, only then did she raise her eyebrows suspiciously, her mother-in-law's face was ruddy, her breath was stable, her head was combed in a mess, and she didn't look like she was seriously injured...... "Mother, I received a letter from the old man...... Where are you hurt? ”
"Ah......" Mrs. Lou blushed and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just that when I went out the day before yesterday, I was hung with a wound on my leg, and my skin was traumatized, so it's okay." "Just such a little skin injury, the old man actually invited two doctors to come to see him, I remember that after Dr. Xu saw it at that time, he opened his mouth and said-"Just such a small injury?" The look of surprise on her face made people want to burrow into the cracks in the ground, and even now, the old lady still felt embarrassed!
However, of course, Xiao Ru couldn't understand her mother-in-law's mind at all, and hurriedly opened her mother-in-law's quilt when she heard the words, sure enough, the old lady of the Lou family had gauze wrapped around her legs, Xiao Ru carefully observed it, and then breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, it was a skin injury, no bones, and the medicine used by the doctors was also very good, better than the gold sore medicine prepared by herself, however, Xiao Ru untied the gauze and looked at the wound, but she was still distressed that her face was green, and she had a big mouth with a long palm, how much blood had to be shed, how much pain it was!
"Mother...... How does this hurt? Xiao Ru hurriedly and carefully re-medicated and bandaged her mother-in-law, trying to suppress her anger, but she still couldn't help but grit her teeth viciously.
