Chapter Twenty-Five: Here They Come
When Su Ying and the others came out of the house, Zhang Shan and the others had already carried the wild boar to the ox cart and covered it with straw.
"Brother Xiao, you get in the car, let's go to the county seat."
Xiao Yan nodded, and Su Ying carried him to the car and sat down.
The ox cart is not big, and after dropping down a wild boar, there are only two places left to sit.
It doesn't take too many people to sell pigs, just Zhang Shan alone is enough.
"Little lady Su, Xiao Langjun, we don't have any good things in this farmhouse, you can take these cakes on the road to eat, I hope you can return to your home as soon as possible, don't let your family worry."
Su Ying took the cake and thanked him: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, we will remember the kindness of your family." ”
Aunt Wang smiled and shook her head, Pingshui met, who knows what the future holds, just a good fate.
"Mother, then we'll go." Zhang Shan jumped on the ox cart.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road."
"Okay."
Sending Su Ying away, Aunt Wang went to Zhang Shan's house to clean up, who knew that as soon as she entered, she found a few taels of broken silver on the table, she knew that it must have been left by Su Ying and them, and when she chased out with the silver, there was already no trace of the ox cart.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Wang looked at the silver in her hand and sighed, "Xiao Langjun, they just ate some coarse tea and light rice at our house, and they gave so much silver after a night's rest, where can I rest at ease." ”
A few taels of silver, for an ordinary farmer, is their harvest for one or two years, which can be said to be a lot of money.
"Mother, since they gave it, let's take it, you have received the money, and they can rest assured that Su Xiaoniang can also rest assured."
Aunt Wang shook her head, that Xiao Langjun has an extraordinary bearing, even if he cripples his legs, his momentum is not weak at all, these two people are definitely not very human.
Su Ying learned from Zhang Shan that they belonged to a remote mountain village outside Yunshui City, because it was relatively remote, so Zhang Shan didn't know what Yunshui City looked like from birth to now, and it took half a day to walk from the village to the nearest county seat, let alone go to Yunshui City.
"Xiao Langjun, don't worry, when you get to the county seat, you will rent a carriage, and you will be there in less than a day by taking the carriage to Yunshui City."
"Okay."
Although the ox cart was bumpy, fortunately the road was smooth, and before noon, they arrived at the county seat.
After entering the county seat, Su Ying jumped down from the ox cart and helped Xiao Shen down again.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for sending us all the way." Xiao Ember said gratefully.
Zhang Shan smiled embarrassedly, "It's a trivial matter, it's just that I can't send you home, that's where the carriage is rented, why don't I find one for you after I sell the wild boar?" ”
Xiao Shen refused, "Brother Zhang is grateful to have sent us here. ”
"Okay, be careful on your way." Zhang Shan was in a hurry to sell the pigs, and after saying goodbye to them, he left.
Su Ying was worried about the children, so she carried Xiao Shen to the place where the carriage was rented.
"We don't have a guide, if you have anything to buy, buy it here, you can't enter Yunshui City without a guide." As soon as he walked to the corner of the street, Xiao Shen spoke.
"You're reminding me of this, I'll rent a carriage first, you wait for me in the car, I'll go buy something."
Xiao Shen nodded, "Yes." ”
After Xiao Ember found an experienced handlebar style, he got into the greenhouse-looking carriage.
Su Ying went to the street to buy things, she didn't dare to delay too much time, and she also thought that she had some money in her hand just in case, so she bought some ingredients and rice noodles and went to the agreed place and got into the carriage.
Xiao Shen saw that she had bought a large bag and a small bag, so he moved her position.
Su Ying put two packets of dim sum on the top of the baggage, "This dim sum is for Ling'er and them, I don't know how she has been in the past two days, I know that you fell into the water, I guess you will be sad, and Ji'er, his injury is not healed......"
Su Ying's words made Xiao Yan frown, and he was most worried about the two children.
Along the way, both men were worried, hoping to join up with the army as soon as possible.
Not long after the carriage left the county seat, the sky became gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain again, Su Ying still remembered what He Shouyi said before, so he bought two oil-paper umbrellas and hats in the county seat.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the rain to fall.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the car, Su Ying's brows tightened, "You said that this rain has been falling like this, if we go further southwest, will we encounter floods." "The team can't take the official road, they all go to the wilderness, if the rain is heavy and the mountain is loose, it will be easy to cause mudslides, and the risk factor will be greatly increased.
"Possibly."
Thinking of this, Su Ying really hated to give birth to wings and hurriedly flew over to join the team.
"It's no different to think more, first nourish your mind, and wait and see what happens." Seeing her worries, Xiao Shen spoke lightly.
Su Ying nodded, found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.
When Su Ying opened his eyes, he lifted the curtain and saw the city gate not far away.
"That's Yunshui City?"
Xiao Shen nodded.
The car was going faster than they had expected, but it was the next morning.
"Two guests, see if you're going into town or getting off outside." The coachman's voice sounded outside.
Su Ying looked at the sky, and didn't know when the team over there would arrive.
After thinking about it, she said, "Uncle, do you sell this car?" ”
"Madame wants to buy a car?"
Su Ying looked at Xiao Shen and said, "What do you think, if it rains all the time, having a car is better for you and your children." ”
Xiao Yan paused and looked at her deeply, "You care about the two children." ”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "It's necessary, buy it." ”
In fact, Su Ying had this idea when she left the county, she jumped out of the car and negotiated the price with the coachman, after all, she didn't have much money in her hand.
In the end, it was sold at a price of thirty taels.
The coachman took the money and went out into the city.
Su Ying led the carriage to a big tree, tied the horse to the tree, and then returned to the carriage to rummage through the baggage, and found a bag of cakes to open.
"Let's have something to eat."
Xiao Shen shook his head, he had been in the car for the past two days, and he didn't have much appetite, "According to the speed at which they walk, they will be in Yunshui City today at the latest." "If you haven't arrived, it's likely that something has happened.
Su Ying took a cake and made it outside the car, so that she could see the situation outside more clearly.
She bit the cake one bite at a time, and suddenly missed the egg pancakes made by He Shouyi.
"Move faster."
A familiar shout caused Su Ying to jump out of the carriage, "They're coming." ”
Xiao Shen lifted the curtain and saw a team of people led by Li Da walking towards this side.
