Half of the dilapidated house was leaking, and Satsuki sat in a dry place, looking at the pheasants roasting and sizzling over the fire, and felt like a world away.

In the first half of the night, I was worried about whether I would be trapped in the salt well and eventually become a dried corpse, but now I am about to enjoy a fat pheasant.

Seeing that Xiaoyue was silent in a daze, He Chuan said a little embarrassedly: "Childe, don't think about it, I will help you get out of here." ”

Satsuki chuckled softly, "How do you know I'm thinking more?"

"This... He lowered his head and said, "Little one doesn't know." ”

Xiao Yue sighed, looked at him and said, "Actually, you are not Uncle Qu's person. ”

He Chuan avoided Xiaoyue's eyes, looked at the roast chicken in his hand, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter who I am, anyway, I will send my son away safely." He took a closer look at the roast chicken, and then said, "It should be ready to eat, here you are." He tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Satsuki.

Xiao Yue was not polite, and when she took it over, the golden chicken legs looked more appetizing than those of Kaifeng vegetables.

After the two of them feasted, He Chuan said, "The rain outside has stopped, and we have rested enough, so we can go." ”

"Okay. Satsuki learned from him to smear his hands full of oil on the corners of his clothes.

It rained all night, and the sky outside was a little white, so they took advantage of the night to quickly walk in the direction of Taiping County.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yue felt that something was wrong, this Huangjia Town was half a day's drive away from Taiping County, and if they walked on two legs, it would take at least a day.

Seeing that the sky was slowly brightening, Xiao Yue said, "You don't want to take me back to Taiping County, right?"

He Chuan explored the road in front of him, and said without looking back: "I can't find the carriage now, so I can only do this, but if you are lucky, you should be able to meet a car on the road, and you can take a ride." ”

"Why can't you find the carriage?" asked Satsuki curiously.

"In the past few days, the Niu Yun Gang has been called by the Huang family to move salt, and there is no idle carriage, so Uncle Qu said that there is no way to send you away in the past few days. ”

"Then why are there carriages on the road?"

He Chuan pointed to the field, "The wheat field has been harvested in the past few days, and there may be farmers who use cattle to transport wheat to the county seat to sell." ”

"Oh, okay. "For the sake of safety, He Chuan did not take Xiaoyue to take the main road, but copied the small road, the probability of encountering ox carts will be a little higher, and you can also avoid the people of the Huang family.

When it was almost noon, Xiaoyue was indeed a little tired, and she called to Hechuan, "Under the big tree in front of us, let's rest, I can't walk." ”

"Okay. Kazukawa looked back at Satsuki with a tired face, "You rest under the tree for a while, there's a stream in front, I'll get you something to drink." ”

"Yes. Satsuki put her waist in her waist and slowly walked under the tree, leaning against the big tree, panting for breath as Kazukawa disappeared into the woods.

This season, the leaves are piled on the ground, and she doesn't care if the ground is clean or not, so she just sits down.

She thought to herself that she was lucky to have eaten half a chicken last night, otherwise she wouldn't have survived now.

But she didn't sleep all night, she was still a little sleepy, and she forced herself to open her eyes, but she became more and more sleepy by the warm sun.

At that moment, she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, which swept away her sleepiness.

She stood up and looked around, the direction was a little dusty from the direction of Taiping County, probably a horse or carriage going to Huangjia Town.

Satsuki was very disappointed, standing behind a tree and quietly waiting for passers-by to pass by.

Several horses whizzed past Xiao Yue, and she vaguely seemed to see Huang Wenbai, the second young master of the Huang family, among them.

At this time, He Chuan quietly walked up to her and asked softly, "Childe, are you okay?"

"It's fine. Satsuki turned around in fright, and saw that Kazukawa didn't know that he had cut a bamboo tube there, which was filled with clear water.

"Wow, you walk without a sound, it scares me to death. ”

Kazukawa said apologetically: "Not intentionally, I'm afraid you're in danger, so... ”

"Got it. Xiao Yue patted his chest, took the bamboo tube in his hand, first poured out a little water and washed his face, and then drank the rest.

"Did Childe see who it was? Did they see you?"

Xiao Yue looked down at herself, now her whole body was muddy, and she was about to lose her human appearance. "They shouldn't have seen me, I saw a few horses running over, and there seemed to be Huang Wenbai among them. ”

He Chuan asked suspiciously, "Second Young Master of the Huang Family?"

"Yes. Xiao Yue nodded firmly.

"Have you seen the second young master?"

"Well, I saw it the other day. "She not only met the second young master of the Huang family a few days ago, but also his entourage.

"Strange, where did you meet him?" asked Kazukawa curiously.

"On the way from Sancha Lake to Taiping County. ”

"It's weird. He Chuan said wonderingly: "This second young master rarely leaves Taiping County, and he still goes to Huangjia Town at this time, and I don't know what to do." ”

Xiao Yue looked at him and asked rhetorically, "You are very familiar with the Huang family?"

He Chuan smiled: "In this Huang family town, the affairs of the Huang family are all big things, and if his family drops a needle, everyone in the town knows about it." ”

"In this way, this big family really doesn't have anything at all. Satsuki pursed her mouth.

"But... He Chuan lowered his head and thought for a while, "I think the second young master went to Huangjia Town for the sake of the second young grandmother." ”

"Second young grandmother?" Xiao Yue is not a gossip person, but she thinks that she doesn't talk much to Chuan along the way, and if he wants to tell him more news to herself, she won't refuse.

"Yes. He Chuan looked at the sky, and then said: "While walking, let me tell you, I will send you to Taiping County, and I will rush back in the evening." ”

"Okay. ”

There are gossip news from big families along the way, and Xiaoyue is a lot easier to walk.

It turned out that the two sons born to the old lady of the Huang family were very contrasting.

The eldest young master of the Huang family was greedy for money and lustful, and married many aunts, but only the main house gave birth to a son and a daughter.

The second young master of the Huang family is emotionally single-minded, only marrying a young grandmother, but only giving birth to a daughter.

Both of these sons gave Mrs. Huang a headache.

The eldest son is not self-motivated, but greedy for pleasure.

The youngest son is the son who did not have children and inherited the family business.

Originally, these problems and contradictions were still well hidden, but this time the imperial court's acquisition of Yanjing caused these problems within the Huang family to erupt.

The eldest young master of the Huang family was worried that after Yanjing returned to the imperial court, he would not have the good life he has now, so he naturally strongly opposed this matter.

But seeing that the official of the imperial court would come to make the acquisition in the next few days, he was also panicked, and finally turned his attention to his younger brother. Half of the world, half of the world
