Chapter 34: Returning Home

"Li'er?"

Tao Li'er was still hovering in her mind about the wound on Mo Li's stomach, and suddenly Zhang's voice sounded behind her, and she came back to her senses and smiled.

"Aunt Zhang."

Zhang glanced at her helplessly, as if relieved.

"Why didn't you respond to me, I thought something had happened to you! You kid! ”

Tao Li'er stuck out her tongue, looked at Zhang embarrassedly, and made an excuse to perfunctory, and the two returned to the dormitory.

As the night deepened, a dark shadow shuttled through the night, and finally stopped at the mouth of a dark alley, opposite the closed Huai'an Inn.

There were two people standing at the door of the inn, one on the left and one on the right, and there was orange candlelight in a room upstairs of the inn.

The man in black at the entrance of the alley stared at the window for a long time, and then slowly left, until he was far away, and then began to run in the night.

Before dawn on the second day, Tao Li'er was woken up by the movement around her in a daze, and she was so excited last night because of the silver that she slept late.

Tao Li'er rubbed her eyes in a daze, and saw that Zhang was combing his hair and tidying himself.

"Aunt Zhang, it's so early, it's not dawn yet."

Zhang Shi looked back at Tao Li'er and said with a smile: "It's not early, hurry up, we still have to move things, we rented an ox cart yesterday, and we will take the ox cart back today." ”

Tao Li'er asked ignorantly, "Why don't you rent a carriage?" Obviously, the carriage was running faster. ”

Zhang poked Tao Li'er's forehead.

"I see that you are smart when you are smart, but I didn't expect you to have a bad brain, this carriage is fast, but the rent is five times that of an ox cart! Look at the countryman who traveled in a horse-drawn carriage? When I first married Uncle Shugen, his family was poor, and he walked to the market town, and everything was on his back and carrying burdens. ”

Tao Li'er can't believe that kind of life of carrying things on your back for a day, is it too scary?

Tao Li'er no longer rubbed off, quickly cleaned herself up, and then the two went out, Tao Li'er's one or two pieces of silver were originally asked by Zhang's to exchange for a bunch of money yesterday, but Zhang felt that it was not good to bring too much money on the road, so he said that when they went home, Zhang's they exchanged their own one or two pieces of silver.

Tao Li'er thought about it and agreed, and when the group was about to go back, Tao Li'er was still thinking about whether she wanted to bring something to the Lin family, but when she thought of Mrs. Li and Li Daniu, she gave up directly.

Forget it, endure the calm for a while, there is no need to make trouble at this juncture, and if Mrs. Li knew that she was rich, she would definitely not let her go, Tao Li'er told Zhang not to mention that she was a cook in Huai'an Inn, and Zhang also agreed.

And now because of the mysterious guest at the Huai'an Inn, he shouldn't have to go for a short time, but the person doesn't know when to leave, and the delay won't last long.

When that person leaves, he will go to the inn again, who will take him there when the time comes, the inconvenience of transportation is like this, Tao Li'er is a little helpless.

Before the group got into the car, Tao Li'er still made her own decisions and invited Zhang and Li Shugen to have a hearty breakfast, which Zhang did not agree to, but Tao Li'er insisted.

Zhang's didn't do him much, but Tao Li'er was still very grateful to her, just a meal, she wasn't so stingy, Li Shugen has always been bold, anyway, Tao Li'er has a tael of silver, and she can't eat much for a meal.

So the three of them had a pretty hearty breakfast amid Zhang's complaints, and the three of them got into the car with round stomachs. Tao Li'er finally tasted a meal to eat, although the taste was still a little worse, but it was good to eat meat, didn't it?

The ox cart went so slowly, bumpy along the way, fortunately, it didn't rain on both trips, otherwise there was no place to hide from the rain, otherwise it would only be exposed to the rain so loudly, when Tao Lier said this to Zhang, Zhang smiled and said Tao Li'er didn't have any common sense.

Zhang said that before going out, it is necessary to look at the sky, according to the wind and clouds, you can predict what the weather will be in recent days, Tao Li'er suddenly realized, but I want to come and feel relieved, this is the wisdom of the ancients, unlike modern weather forecasts, a bunch of data down, there is no one. When it was close to noon, I arrived at the entrance of the village, and the car was full of things bought by Zhang's family, so naturally I let the car stop at Zhang's door.

The entrance of the village is closer to her own house than Zhang's house, so Tao Li'er took her own money from Li Shugen and went home by herself, saying that when Zhang's family went home to clean up, she would go to Zhang's house for dinner.

Zhang scolded with a smile, Li Shugen said that he was welcome at any time, the three of them said goodbye for a short time, and Tao Li'er went to his house.

At noon, the sun was very scorching, basically no one came out to hang out on the road, Tao Li'er touched the copper coin in her arms, a thousand Wen is still quite a lot, just bring it back like this too conspicuous, no! Gotta find a place to hide.

Tao Li'er originally wanted to hide the money in Moli, but at noon, he lived in the mountains, which was too far away. Tao Li'er gave up directly, looked around for a while, and then ran to a relatively remote place like a thief, dug a pit, and directly buried all the money on her body.

There were only five copper plates left on her body, thinking that the Lin family had saved it for a long time, so she should return it to her, Tao Li'er covered the soil, and then took some dry soil and sprinkled it on it as a cover, so she went back sneakily.

Now that I have money, I go home happily, but as soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there was a scolding from Mrs. Li inside.

"Let you go and wash your clothes, how are you grinding! The second family has just returned! You don't know how to cook for them, really! What do you think! ”

It won't be that Lin was scolded, Tao Li'er hurriedly ran in in her heart, as soon as she entered, she saw that the courtyard was quite lively, Lin was holding a wooden basin full of dirty clothes, honestly bowing her head and not daring to speak, while Mrs. Li crossed her waist and pointed at Lin and scolded.

Li Daniu leaned against the door, watching this scene with melon seeds, and there were two people sitting at the door of the hall, a woman in a long blue dress with a little girl in her arms looking at the two with a smile on her face, and a man next to her, who was lying on the chair on all fours at this time, looking at it with some impatience.

The anger in Tao Li'er's heart suddenly rose, isn't this sudden appearance of a man and a woman the second room and the second room daughter-in-law of the Li family? Mrs. Li suddenly became arrogant again, and came back with a backer?
