Chapter 19: The Woman
Lin Chonghan also counted the days and replied: "It's only been a month, and it will take so long for the capital to go to Jiangnan." β
This is true, but Lin Shijing's ration for Qiu Sanji are all good horses, and the servants are also strong, according to his calculations, Qiu Sanji should arrive in Jiangnan in about twenty days, and then write back to the capital.
From Jiangnan to the capital, the Lin family has a special route for flying pigeons.
I hope that there is something delayed on the road in the autumn and third season, not something happened to the eldest brother. Under the influence of alcohol, Lin Shijing let himself fall into a deep sleep and didn't think about it anymore.
His instincts are accurate, and there are indeed a lot of things happening in the current autumn season.

"Helpββ! ! β
How the hell are there bandits in Gangnam! The third season of autumn is simply wondering, it stands to reason that the area south of the Yangtze River is the richest, and the people will not be forced to go to Liangshan, how can there be so many bandits?
He was lying on his stomach in humiliation on the donkey cart - he had just escaped for his life when he was accidentally shot in the ass by a bandit, and now he could only lie on his stomach on the donkey cart.
The third season of autumn is simply full of tears, or a donkey! Run fast at the critical moment.
Fortunately, the silver ticket voucher given by the county lord has always been close to his heart and has not been snatched away by the bandits. They robbed dry food, and although it was useful, it was not as important as gold and silver.
In the autumn and third seasons, I thought that when I arrived in the Jiangnan area, there was food, so I would give it.
"My lord," the accompanying doctor, "the part of your injury is not critical, but you still have to pull out the arrow and apply medicine, so you can bear with it first." β
"Okay! Doctor, just look at it. β
Qiu Sanji put his sleeves together, stuffed it into his mouth, and said as if he was dead: "So-and-a ready-"
It was a difficult task to keep smiling amid the hoarling of a pig, at least not by the servants who accompanied him on the donkey cart.
After dealing with his injuries, Qiu Sanji grinned and sat up, he glanced around the crowd, and suddenly found that although everyone was hanging colors, no one was killed because of it.
Qiu Sanji and his henchmen looked at each other, and the other party nodded with a serious expression: "My lord, these people should be ordinary people, not outlaws who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time." β
"That's bad...... Qiu Sanji muttered, "the people have been forced to become bandits, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to go this time." β
The donkey cart was splashing with billowing smoke, the snow had melted on both sides of the road, and the tall and majestic city walls in the distance gradually came into his view. Qiu Sanji leaned on the donkey cart, carefully recognized the two words, and found that they had arrived in Maozhou.

Gu Zhao began to have nightmares all night and night again.
There is everyone in his dreams, there is the dead Yu Qing, who sheds blood and tears to accuse him of cruelty; There are also women who can't see their faces clearly, crying that they obviously saved him, but they were killed by the gangsters, but he held the gangsters as a pearl for ten years; Lin Chonghan, who walked past him, wanted to stop the other party in his dream, but he still couldn't speak, and watched her walk to the eldest brother's side.
He wept bitterly in his dreams, and even knelt down in his dreams, begging her to come back.
But to his despair, he found that she still did not return.
Gu Zhao completely reversed day and night, he didn't dare to fall asleep in the middle of the night, and during the day he was drowsy and couldn't keep up his spirits at all. At first, he was reluctant to leave the house, and then he didn't even want to leave his own door.
His subordinates also avoided him, because he was so hot-tempered that he would often take out his anger on them.
On this day, Gu Zhao stared at the burned candle, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of cyan stubble, and the whole person was embarrassed and decadent.
"Second master," a maid knocked lightly on the door, "there is a ...... There is an old woman who says she is a distant relative of yours and wants to meet you. β
He replied coldly, "What? Do you want me to take care of the things in the backyard now? β
"Smack! βββ
Gu Zhao smashed a teacup violently and shouted, "Get out!" β
The maid was so frightened that she ran away crying.
The atmosphere in the front yard was also not good, and the Qin family sat next to Gu's father, and the Buddhist beads in his hand kept spinning.
"Now that Zhao'er is in this situation, can you tell me what to do?"
"What to do?" Gu Shizhong was on crutches, his face was cold, "He wants to help Yu Qing straighten, didn't the family agree?" Yu Qing's child is not his, what can we do? β
Even the person who saved him at the beginning was not Yu Qing. He's clearly being designed, what do you want us to do? β
The Qin clan couldn't make sense with this reckless man, she really felt that Gu Zhao was doing too much, but he became like this now, which was the last thing she wanted to see.
Gu Shizhong stretched out his crutches to stop him, he looked at his wife seriously, and shook his head solemnly: "Don't go, this concern knot needs to be lived by himself." β
At this time, the little maid wiped her tears and walked to the front yard, she came to the corner gate, and said angrily: "You should leave by yourself!" Our second master didn't want to see you, and said that if you have something, just go to the old lady. β
The plainly dressed peasant woman in front of her was the one Lin Chonghan had accidentally seen, she was busy thanking the maid, and carefully accompanied Xiaoshu to give her a few taels of silver.
"If the tired girl sends a message to the old man, she will say that I have an urgent matter to find the second young master."
The maid refused to accept it, and her face was full of resistance: "If it doesn't work, it won't work." I'm going to pass you on this time, and you're almost dead, so you'd better leave as soon as possible. β
When the maid had finished speaking, she ran away, leaving the peasant woman standing there with a look of embarrassment, hesitating at the corner gate and not knowing what to do.
"What are you looking for from me?"
Gu Zhao didn't know when he came to the corner gate, he looked at the kind old man in front of him, and was a little impatient: "I'm here now, you can say it." β
The peasant woman didn't speak, she looked at Gu Zhao deeply, looking him up and down, carefully looking at him, her strange eyes made Gu Zhao's scalp tingle.
"What the hell is the matter with you?!"
Only then did the peasant woman speak, she shook her head, and her voice was rough: "Son's forgiveness, the grass people were anxious for a while, and they didn't notice that they had found the wrong person." After speaking, she didn't wait for Gu Zhao's reaction, she turned around and left.
