Chapter Eighty-Six: The Road to Ginger

Firecrackers hurriedly lowered their bodies and almost crawled in the grass.

She held her breath, clutched her chest, and nervously waited for the owner of the voice.

It's just that the first person to come out of front of the house was not Aunt Xin, but the third lady's maid magpie.

"Madame...... I'm scared ......."

The magpie stood not far away, staring carefully at the grass.

"Could it be a mouse?"

"Isn't it, don't you know if you go and see?"

The Third Lady followed.

"What are they going to do? Why did it alarm so many people? ”

"I don't dare ......"

"Useless things, you pick up a pebble and throw it into the grass to see." The third lady ordered behind her.

"Oh......."

The magpie bent down to pick up a stone, threw it with a "bang", and smashed it on the side of the firecracker impartially.

The firecracker picked up two stones beside him and threw them into the grass near and far away, creating the illusion that the living creatures had escaped after being disturbed.

"Ahhh!!hhh Sure enough, it's a mouse! The magpie screamed in fright.

"What's the ghost called? What if you wake up the guests in the front yard in the middle of the night? Aunt Xin also followed.

“......”

The magpie quickly closed its mouth when it heard the sound.

"Aunt Xin, it's okay, it's just a mouse, I just went somewhere else."

The third lady saw that her maid was reprimanded by Aunt Xin in front of her, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

But it's hard to say anything because of the eldest lady's face.

"Can the third lady see clearly?" Aunt Xin looked around carefully.

"Naturally, you see! The walls of the side courtyard here are a foot higher than those over there, if you are not a person who knows kung fu, how can you climb up?

Staying here will only delay your work! The third lady said in an unkind tone.

"What the third lady said is ......" Aunt Xin replied stiffly, "Let's go, go search somewhere else!" ”

Caijuan and Aunt Xin both turned to leave, only the third lady was still staring at the grass.

Suddenly, she slowly approached the grass.

"Isn't this woman already discovering her?" Firecracker closed his eyes and waited desperately for the third lady to let out a piercing scream.

"Third Lady? Why don't you leave? Aunt Xin suddenly stuck her neck out of the front yard.

"But what did you find?"

"Oh? No, there's a bug there, let's go! ”

The third lady smiled slyly, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked to the front yard without looking back.

"From where she was standing just now, she could clearly see me....... Why didn't you tell Aunt Xin?

Am I being perceived for my actions? That's why they go around arresting me before dawn? ”

One thought after another flashed through Firecracker's head.

I can't care so much, what if I am discovered, now I am confused, and a few days later, I still find out that she is not in the house.

The most important thing now is to escape from the house and quickly join Shan Heng's people.

Seeing that there was no movement around, the firecrackers must have gone away.

Then he turned and went into the dog hole, and disappeared into the street at night.

"Firecracker Girl......"

When the firecrackers arrived at the East City Gate, several of Shan Heng's entourage were already waiting there.

There were four of them, three horses, and a carriage.

"I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time because of a little thing!" Firecrackers hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, we've just arrived, hahahaha......"

A tall, muscular bearded man laughed heartily.

"Girl, my name is Feng Ji, they are my younger brothers, Feng Wei, Feng Tong and Feng Jian, we have been working with Master Shan Shan since we were children.

Now that Childe believes in us and entrusts us with this errand, we will definitely protect the girl. ”

"Hello everyone, my name is Firecracker, and the next few days will be hard for everyone!"

Firecrackers learn Feng Ji to hold his fists.

"Little things, small things, we often go back and forth between Kun Jiang and Xi Yan, this road is very familiar, the girl can rest assured, but I don't know what the girl is going to Kun Jiang this time?"

Feng Ji asked.

"I'm going to pick grass in the swamps of Lake Yihai." Firecracker replied.

"Wow! Although I don't know about Bian Yicao, that Yihai Lake is a mysterious place. Feng Jian continued: "Throughout the ages, how many chivalrous warriors have gone to the area of Yihai Lake, but they all returned in a huff, and even three people went back alone. ”

"What's the use of the girl asking for that Bian Grievance Grass?" Feng Ji asked.

"My family...... My relatives have been poisoned, and only the injustice grass can be solved, and if it is delayed for a few more days, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to heaven......

But don't worry, you don't have to do it for you, you just need to send me to Pingguo County on the border between Kunjiang and Xunche. ”

Firecrackers thought that Shan Heng did not inform them of the purpose of going to Kunjiang, and presumably did not reveal her identity.

"Without further ado, let's get on our way, the gates are about to open! We will definitely try our best to get to Kunjiang as soon as possible! ”

Feng Ji said.

After thanking him again, Firecracker climbed into the carriage.

Feng Jian was in charge of driving the carriage, and the other three all jumped on horseback.

It's just that when he came to the east gate of the city, the firecrackers were dumbfounded: "How can there be so many people?" ”

There was a long queue at the east gate of the city, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to get out of the city.

Firecrackers lifted the carriage curtain: "Why are so many people going out of the city so early?" ”

"The girl doesn't know!" Feng Tong, who was leading the horse and walking beside the carriage, said: "These are all people who went out to neighboring counties to catch markets and collect medicines. ”

"Why do you want to go to a neighboring county?"

"Recently, a big businessman came to the neighboring county, not only a businessman, but also a great benevolent person, who always covered the fruits and vegetables of many vegetable farmers.

Occasionally, for a few days, they would give rice porridge or even silver taels to the streets. ”

"And such a good thing?" Firecrackers heard that their eyes were round, so what else are you doing? Isn't it okay to squat in a neighboring county every day?

"But the great good man should be leaving soon, according to the people nearby, this person's whereabouts are always uncertain, and even his identity is a mystery."

"There are no wonders in the world, and there are no saints in the world."

The firecracker put down the curtain, opened the baggage, took out two cakes, and gnawed on himself for a long time before remembering to ask the people outside the carriage.

"Brother Feng Ji, Brother Feng Wei, have you all eaten? I've got the bread here! The firecracker lifted the carriage curtain again.

"No, we've had breakfast, let's keep it for ourselves, we'll speed up when we're out of the city in a while, and the girl will inevitably feel bumpy in the carriage......"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's important to hurry, don't pay attention to me!" Firecracker hurriedly said.

"That's right, Firecracker Girl." Feng Jian, who was sitting in front of the carriage, unloaded his burden from his body: "These are the coils and food that Shan Gongzi asked us to prepare, and you put them in the carriage." ”

"Oh......." Firecracker reached out and took the heavy package, which was several times the weight of the package she brought out from Hengfu.

When I opened it, there were a lot of gold and silver pastries and water bags.

"Shan Gongzi is so careful......" Firecracker put away his burden and put it aside.

I don't know what the situation is, if she can't get Bian Yicao, she can't come back, but this is nothing, if she loses her life, the second lady will not be saved, and she will say goodbye to Shan Gongzi forever.

"No, I must not die, even if I can't pick Bian Bian grass, I have to live, if I die, how guilty should I feel this time to help my Shan Gongzi, and where will I put him?

I must live, even if I can't continue to stay in Hengfu, I must come back alive to see Shan Gongzi again. ”

On the third day, Firecracker and Feng Jiyi had crossed the waterway, deposited the horses and carriages at the inn, and prepared the carriage in the new lot.

"Girl, I guess we will be able to get to Pingguo County tonight......"

Firecracker was sitting downstairs at the inn with a few people eating lunch.

"So fast? I thought it would take at least one night! Thank you all for your hard work! ”

"But girl, I inquired with someone yesterday, and it's really too difficult to pick that Bian grass, I'm afraid the girl will be disappointed on this trip......"

Feng Tong sat opposite the firecracker.

"I already knew that although I didn't come this time with the determination to win, I wouldn't give up easily without a lot of effort."

"Firecracker girl, this ....... If something happens to you, how can we explain to Childe when we go back? ”

Feng Ji looked embarrassed, and thought to himself: "We escorted you from so far away,

But it's not for you to die! ”

"Don't worry, firecrackers won't joke with their lives, they will only do what they can, and Shan Gongzi knows the purpose of my trip early on, so you don't have to worry about being punished."

"Alas! Although the girl looks young, she is a person who values love and righteousness, and she can take such a risk to collect medicine for her relatives, which really makes me admire! Feng Jian said.

"I'm sure many people in this world will do the same as I did......"

Firecrackers thought that the second lady in the distance still didn't know what the condition was, if she was her relative, it would not be enough,

Just following the second lady, but it really gave her an illusion of home, the second lady was never restrained, forced her, treated her very loosely, and at most unforgiving her counted a few words,

Afterwards, it was just over, not as frightened as following the eldest lady.

In this way, she traveled thousands of miles to collect medicine for the Qi family, which can be regarded as repaying her love.

"Second lady, you must hold on, fight for some energy, don't let my hard work be in vain!"

At night, when the group finally arrived at Pingguo County, they found an inn on the edge of the county seat to stay.

"You can rest tomorrow, and I'll go to Yihai Lake by myself."

"How's that going to work? We can't help the girl collect medicine, we have to escort you to your destination! Feng Jian did not agree with the firecrackers to go alone.

After just a few days of getting along, they felt that Firecrackers was really a very good girl, Feng Ji looked at the fourth brother beside him, he had already noticed that Feng Jian seemed to be interested in Firecrackers.

"That's right, firecracker girl, it's better to find a way if there are a lot of people, it's safer than you going alone." Feng Ji followed Feng Jian's words, if he gets an adult favor from the firecracker girl this time,

Then won't my fourth brother have a chance?

"Alright! Thank you, I have some business tomorrow morning, and we'll leave after lunch. ”

"Okay! It's too late, it won't take an hour to go to Yihai Lake from here! Feng Ji nodded.

After the discussion, several people dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Firecracker took out the purse given to her by Huai Gongzi, and wondered if that soup would be able to help her tomorrow.
