The people who set the fire are long gone.

But Hua Jin knew that this fire must have been deliberately planned by Qiu Wanyao the moment she lived in the inn.

What a put. A and vicious woman.

Fortunately, they didn't have time to set fire to the stables, the carriage was not damaged, and many of the supplies that had not been brought were still on the carriage.

Although there were no major casualties in this water walk, all the family members were choked by the smoke to varying degrees, and they kept coughing.

Especially the mothers-in-law who were rescued at the end, their faces were blackened and flirtatious, and they were almost a little delirious.

Hua Jin hurriedly instructed Bai Tao and Zhi Tao to fetch well water to make them clean their faces, although the well water was almost all with ice ballast, it was just right to make people sober up.

It was cold outside, and Hua Chen could only let the entourage with minor injuries set up the carriage.

At this time, the three-story inn had burned out, and only three wings could be seen standing alone in the backyard.

The inn's chapel led the shopkeeper to the backyard.

The four carriages were set, the windproof lanterns were lit, and the people helped each other to get into the carriage.

Hua Jin was about to step into the carriage when he heard a scream from the other end of the backyard, and the woman's voice was also sharp and abnormal, "I am Qiu Wanyao, the daughter of Qiu Xiangming, the prefect of Qingzhou, who of you dares to kill me!" ”

Hua Jin paused when he got into the car, stared at the backyard, and happened to see Xuan Fei bowing slightly and signaling something to his two entourage.

The two attendants were ordered to run to the backyard again.

Hua Chen walked to Xuan Fei's side, "Brother Xuan, don't ride a horse at night, can you take the carriage with your younger brother?" ”

This time, Xuanfei did not make any more awkward mistakes, but nodded happily in agreement.

Xuan Fei, Hua Chen, and Yan Shaoning took the first carriage, and Qin Jian'an personally drove the carriage.

Hua Jin and his sister took Bai Tao, Zhi Tao, Yan Ran and Chen's mother in the second carriage.

Since most of the New Year's gifts in the carriage behind had been moved to the inn, they had been burned down along with the three-story building.

So at this time, I carried a few more serious mothers-in-law who were choked.

Sitting in the carriage again, Hua Jin looked at the frightened people, and knew that he was the same as them, and he must be haggard at this time.

After tossing for most of the night, several people lost their sleepiness and couldn't help but look at each other for a while.

In the end, Zhi Tao was a little more lively, opened the drawer under the small square table in the carriage, and took out an ivory comb, "Fifth girl, your hair is messy, why don't you let the slave help you comb it?" "In this way, no matter good times or bad, he is really likable.

Hua Jin also felt that the atmosphere was a little dull at this time, and couldn't help but joke along with Zhi Tao's words: "If you help me finish combing my hair, wouldn't it be even more messy than now." ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Zhi Tao "annoyed and angry" stuffed the comb into Bai Tao's hand, and said coquettishly: "The slave maid knows that she is clumsy, and the five girls dislike it, and the slave maid doesn't offer ugliness." ”

Bai Tao took the comb, as if she hadn't come back to her senses, "Five girls......"

Hua Jin took the comb and put it back in its place, "Okay, okay, after the joke, you all have to rest, there is still a small half a day's journey to Laizhou, and you can only arrive after dawn." When the time comes, I will find an inn to repair it, and it will take two hours to go to Changyi. ”

Hua Hui also agreed, "This toss is not easy, everyone leans on the carriage to close their eyes and recuperate." ”

"yes!" Hua Jin bowed his head and closed his eyes first.

Zhi Tao leaned over and covered Hua Jin's legs with the thin blanket prepared in the carriage.

Although there were windproof lanterns hanging on the outside of the carriage, after all, it was a night rush, and the carriage was moving very slowly, which really gave people a groggy feeling.

But Hua Jin's thoughts were unusually clear.

She thought of Xuanfei.

From the moment Xuan Fei entered the backyard room, her mood was abnormal, and she had to consider the existence of Xuan Fei.

In this era, it is not uncommon for girls to marry at what age and to marry in their teens.

For this body, it's only two or three years.

But she, after all, is a person who has lived to her twenties, although she didn't even have a chance to fall in love in her previous life.

But for the opposite sex, she is not as ignorant as the original body.

In her previous life, there was no shortage of excellent people of the opposite sex who threw olive branches to her.

But the idea of getting married made her weigh too many interests in choosing a mate.

Later, she simply summed up one point: it was not that she was too purposeful, but that she didn't call those men.

But did she call Xuanfei?

There seems to be a little bit of it.

Especially when he was holding her.

But is this kind of call mixed with the gratitude that he had saved her life twice?

is really not a master of love, she is a little unclear.

And Xuan Fei is too mysterious, and she is not sure to enter his heart.

But what is certain is that in this day and age, marriage is more purposeful.

Is it just the willingness to choose a mate, is it something she can influence?

Hua Jin regretted a little, why didn't she meet someone who made her love vigorously in that era when love was freer?

Since she can't figure out a lot of things, there is no need for her to think about it anymore.

The carriage was really moving too slowly, and before he knew it, Hua Jin's thoughts gradually calmed down, and he fell asleep against the carriage.

When I woke up again, I found my head resting on my sister's shoulder.

"Sister." She muttered, looking up, "How long have I been leaning on your shoulder like this?" Shoulders must be hard, right? ”

Hua Hui smiled and helped her cut her forehead, "I'm not tired." They're going to change me, but I'm afraid they'll wake you up. This is like a mother's love, Hua Jin feels sweet.

"Where have we been?" Hua Jin straightened his head and raised his hand to lift the curtain.

The first rays of light on the horizon shone through the cracks.

It's dawn!

No matter what happened the night before, the sun will still rise as usual.

At the right time, the tired group entered the territory of Laizhou.

The carriage and horses drove for more than half an hour, and finally found another inn.

Fortunately, this is the Chinese New Year, and there are almost no guests in the inn.

Although they didn't plan to stay overnight here, Hua Jin and they still paid the money according to the standard of staying in the hotel.

He also asked the shopkeeper of the inn to invite a local Langzhong who was at home for the New Year, to show Yan Shaoning the knife wound on his arm, and to check the pulse of a few unwell people.

Fortunately, the knife wound on Yan Shaoning's arm was not deep, and Lang Zhong cleaned the wound and applied the best gold sore medicine.

He also prescribed a lung cleansing prescription for all those who had choked on the smoke.

After the group ate food at the inn, drank the Chinese medicine to clear the lungs, took a long rest, and rearranged their appearance, they went back on the road.

From here to Changyi County, it will take about two or three hours.

Fortunately, the road was calm.

Just entered Changyi County, Xuanfei said goodbye to them.

Hua Chen reluctantly said: "Brother Xuan, you have experienced so many things along the way, why don't you go to the younger brother's grandmother's house to rectify it first, and then go to find your friend?" ”

Yan Shaoning also jumped out of the carriage with his arms covered, "Yes, Brother Xuan, my mother and eldest sister-in-law are very hospitable, Brother Xuan might as well stay in Yan's Mansion for a few days before leaving." ”

Hua Jin heard Xuanfei's voice across the car, although it was not as cold as before, it was still full of undoubtedness, "I will definitely visit if I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Hua Jin did not lift the curtain, and listened to the sound of horses' hooves gradually moving away.
