Chapter 694: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest
Not long after Chen Laosan and the others left, the few subordinates who went to the county seat came back. According to them, there happened to be a passenger ship in the afternoon, which went directly to Jiujiang, and when they arrived in Jiujiang, they could change ships and go to Changning.
It was also Lin Xiaoan's thoughtfulness, the carriage was not allowed to go up on the boat. Therefore, he hired a few porters from the city to help Fang Hong and others carry their luggage.
In the afternoon, a few porters, front and back, carrying luggage. The rest of the subordinates also carried the burden, led by Lin Xiaoan, and got on the boat with Fang Hong's family.
Taking the water route is much faster than taking the land route, and at the beginning, Fang Hong was worried that the waves would be bumpy, which would make the ugly baby uncomfortable. Who would have thought that this kid not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but was very happy, and couldn't stop giggling.
Three days later, Fang Hong and the others arrived at the dock in Changning, although they did not come back for several years, but the change was not very big. The prosperity is still the same, the merchants are weaving, and the laborers and porters are carrying a large number of goods up and down the ship.
Not far from the pier, a huge embankment was built to store some water to drain the floodwater. Looking at this embankment, Fang Hong couldn't help but feel a little emotional, although it had only been a few years, but because he had experienced too many things, he had some feelings of being wrong.
When he arrived in Changning, Fang Hong did not choose to enter the city, but directly hired a carriage and went to Yangjiaoshui Village. In Changning County, he didn't have any acquaintances. If it was before, there would be Zhao Cheng and Xu Jiang, but now that Zhao Cheng has been transferred to the army, and Xu Jiang has died at the hands of King Xing, there is nothing worth thinking about in Changning County.
"Chaoyu, you haven't been to this Giethoorn Village, have you? Fang Hong sat on the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to Xie Chaoyu with some excitement.
"Yes, but I've heard Uncle Dayuan talk about this place before. Xie Chaoyu also looked out curiously, and from her point of view, she could just see a crooked river, shaped like a goat's horn.
At the tip of the goat's horns, there is a large-scale house, this room is the school of the sheep's horn water village, Fang Hong still left a lot of memories here.
"It's here ahead, and it's a little harder. "Along the stone road next to the sheep's hornwater, it is getting closer and closer to the Fang family's house, and you can see the small courtyard from a distance.
"I've grown up here since I was a child, and I'm familiar with everything here. Fang Hong was very proud to introduce everything in the village to Xie Chaoyu, and Xie Chaoyu also listened to it with relish.
The carriage creaked and walked the uneven path, and after a short while, it arrived at the gate of the Fang family's courtyard.
"Look at the wall of this courtyard......" Fang Hong was about to tell Xie Chaoyu about this small courtyard, and suddenly, his eyes saw that the door of the courtyard was wide open, and there were some dried vegetables hanging on the wall of the house, as if someone lived here.
"Could it be that Yin Chuan has come over? Fang Hong's brows furrowed, and the thought instantly came out of his body, enveloping the entire courtyard.
The door locks in each room are new, and they should have been replaced. The furnishings in the house have been touched, especially the study, where the books have been emptied, but a bed has been put into it.
Fang Hong's face turned cold all of a sudden, when Fang Dayuan was alive, this study was the place he valued the most, and most of the books in it were purchased by Fang Dayuan himself.
"What's going on?" Xie Chaoyu also noticed that something was wrong, and quickly jumped out of the carriage and walked into the house.
Fang Hong also walked down with the ugly baby in his arms, he kicked open a door at random, looking at the unfamiliar furnishings inside, his face was even more ugly.
"Someone, move this stuff for me. There was some anger in his tone.
In order to take care of Fang Hong, in addition to letting Lin Xiaoan come over, the Lin family also ordered four reliable sons to accompany him. These people help to do some chores, and Hong and the others can live so comfortably along the way, which is inseparable from them.
After getting Fang Hong's order, these children were also unequivocal, and went directly into the house and moved all the things inside to the courtyard.
"Who are you, what are you doing!" Just as the contents of the various rooms had been cleared more than halfway there, a short and fat woman came in from outside the courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted loudly, and his voice was as sharp as that of a hen in a circle.
"Who are you? This is my house, why can't I move things?" Fang Hong looked this woman up and down, he knew all the people in Sheephorn Village, but this woman was very unfamiliar, he had never seen it.
"What is your house? This is my house, you guys get out of here quickly. As soon as the woman heard Fang Hong's words, her eyes immediately flickered, but immediately, she became even more intense and said in an even more angry tone.
"Throw her out too. Fang Hong's brows furrowed, and he said to the people on the side. The subordinates immediately rolled up their sleeves, one left and one right, and set the woman up.
"What are you going to do? Someone, kill, come on, kill someone. The woman struggled desperately, shouting at the top of her voice as she struggled.
The movement here quickly alarmed the neighbors on the left and right, and many people ran over to see what was going on.
"Hong ...... Brother Hong?" In the crowd, a surprised voice came out, and Fang Hong looked up to see that it was Sun An. I haven't seen it for a few years, Sun An has grown darker and stronger, with a thick beard on his chin, and he looks mighty. His body was shiny and shiny, accumulating thick traces of oil and blood, and he looked like a pig slaughterer.
"Sun An, what's going on, where did this woman come from?" Fang Hong couldn't help but ask out loud when he saw Sun An here. It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said this, Sun An's face became a little unnatural.
"Ouch. Though the neighbors came, the servants did not spare their hands, but threw the woman away. The woman fell to the ground and screamed.
"You ...... Wait for me, don't run if you have a kind!" This woman was also a man who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and when she saw that there were many people on the other side, she immediately ran away with a rolling belt.
Seeing this, Fang Hong didn't care, just shook his head slightly, and asked the servants to continue to move things, while he found Sun An to catch up.
"Sun An, are the bean sprouts in the village? Have time for everyone to drink some wine together?" Fang Hong patted Sun An's shoulder, and a smile bloomed on his face.
