Chapter 13 The little lamb comes to the door by himself
After noon, after resting for less than half an hour, he started on his way. After drinking all the water in the water bag, Mu Chaoxiang entered the carriage and filled two bottles of spiritual spring water.
Mu Chaochao saw that his grandfather's lips were dry and poured two bowls of water for him to drink.
"Grandpa, drink some water."
"My dear granddaughter, you drink too." Mr. Mu spoke in a hoarse voice.
After drinking water, we continued walking. This time the government officials did not urge us any further. We should be able to enter the city before dark.
"You can enter the city after passing the hillside in front." A yamen servant said while wiping his sweat.
The weather in the afternoon was very dull. Ye Huaichen, who was sitting on the carriage, frowned impatiently. Someone suddenly jumped out while going uphill.
"Robbery, hand over your food." A young boy wearing ragged clothes blocked the road.
"If you don't want to live anymore, we dare to rob." A yamen officer shouted.
"Brother Xu, look at his eyes." A young yamen official pulled the talking yamen servant.
It turns out that the person who called for robbery was cross-eyed. No wonder he went to rob them without any eyesight.
"Drag him away quickly, don't waste time." Li Zimu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Before the yamen officer could go over and drag him away, a man and a woman ran over from the other side of the hillside and opened their cross-eyed eyes. All three of them were still young.
"Chicken, you don't want your life. These are official officers escorting a group of prisoners." The woman held the person's hand and said.
The three of them watched the government servant walk over, followed by two carriages, one was an ordinary carriage driven by the girl, and the other was a gorgeous carriage.
Ye Huaichen opened the curtain and looked at three ordinary people wearing tattered clothes. They looked at the carriage eagerly.
Seeing that the carriage was about to pass, the woman pursed her lips and ran over to stop the carriage.
"The person in the car is Lord Chao Zhong? Please save the little people." Seeing the curtains of the gorgeous carriage open, seeing Ye Huaichen's face, and the attendants protecting him, she thought that this person had a lot of background, so the woman was ready to bet A handful.
"Stop the car and let Tianquan go take a look."
"Why bother my master?" Tianquan said expressionlessly.
"Sir, I didn't do this on purpose. It's just that we were forced by County Magistrate Gao to have nowhere to stay, so the chickens came to block the road and steal food." The woman said with some anxiety.
Another young boy also ran over, "Sir, we are villagers from Hejia Village, Feng County. Our house was robbed by Magistrate Gao. Many households in our village were driven out of the city. We were so hungry that we grabbed some here." If you want to blame the food, blame me."
"Tianquan, go and see where they live? Investigate and report back. Tianshu goes to the city." Ye Huaichen thought about it and gave his orders.
"I accept your orders." Tianquan stayed and went with them.
We entered the city two hours later. The sun was still shining brightly during the day. At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky had already gathered together. It was getting darker and heavier along the way. In an instant, a strong wind blew, blowing up the dead leaves on the ground. A streak of lightning flashed across the sky, like a golden snake dancing wildly, and then a thunderclap sounded.
Everyone quickly ran into the inn. The sound of thunder, rain, and wind mixed together. It was really scary, as if the sky was about to fall.
Feng County, just like its name, is a prosperous county. Although the inn was not luxurious, it was still quiet. The rain kept falling on the tiles, as if it was going to break through the roof.
Ye Huaichen checked into the best room in the inn. Exiled people had to pay money to stay in the inn. The Mu family chose two Datong shops, each of which cost two taels. Because it was raining and it was not possible to sleep in the yard, the few of the Mei family who had no money slept in the stables.
After not washing their hair for days, Mu Chaochao felt that he was getting rancid. The red lotus and green grass soaked up some rainwater, and Mu Chaochao took out the hibiscus leaves and honey locusts picked in the wild. They washed their hair comfortably for the first time since the exile. hair.
Mu Chaochao frowned and wiped her waist-length hair with a cloth. She didn't know how to tie her hair, and it was troublesome to keep her hair long. If it weren't for the ancients who emphasized that the body, hair, and skin should be respected by their parents, she would have cut her hair.
After everyone washed and applied medicine on the soles of their feet, they all slumped on the bed without moving. Lying on the bed for the first time in days, Mu Chaochao asked Honglian Luwu to massage Mu Yunxi and her two aunts one by one.
"It's comfortable. Let's go a little further down Luwu." Mrs. Mu Er said, "I don't know when we can reach the northwest."
"Second aunt, I estimate it will take more than three months to leave." Mu Chaochao thought about it and estimated the time.
"More than three months, just over three months. I'm worried about how your uncle and your eldest brother are doing now. Is there a place to take shelter when it rains?" Mrs. Mu was worried. She couldn't let go during this journey. .
"Sister-in-law, eldest brother should also be on his way to the northwest. He may meet us in a while." Mu Yunxi comforted her: "It's good news that there is no news about Qing'er now. I believe our family can reunite in the northwest."
"Auntie, let's ask His Highness the Seventh Prince to help find out the whereabouts of our eldest uncle." Mu Chaochao suggested.
"Chaochao, will you trouble His Highness Seventh?" Mrs. Mu asked.
"Auntie, my eldest uncle is a general. Our family was framed. The emperor must know it. If we can rehabilitate the court in the future, we will have to use our Mu family. Besides, His Highness Seventh is going to the northwest with us. I always feel that It's not that simple." Mu Chaochao analyzed.
"We Chaochao are very smart. Second aunt thinks so too." Mrs. Mu Er agreed with her statement.
"Don't worry, close your eyes and feel our massage." Mu Chaochao blinked at them smartly.
Xu Shi felt comfortable being pressed, and they closed their eyes and fell asleep to the sound of rain.
Mu Chaochao asked Hong Lian and Lv Wu to rest as well, while he went to his grandfather's room to take a look and store some water in the space.
Opening the door, two little lambs were trembling close to each other at the door. Mu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the two little lambs and looked around to see if anyone was there. He saw that no one had put them into the space. They had been there for the past two days. I was thinking about how to get the sheep into the space, but unexpectedly these two arrived at my door.
Mu Chaochao: Tianshu, I will help you raise sheep. When you go to the northwest, you can have mutton to eat.
It had been raining all night, and when I woke up, it was sunny and beautiful weather, and the air was extremely sweet.
It rained heavily all night last night, so I don't know if I'm in a hurry today.
Mu Chaochao knocked on the door of Ye Huaichen's room with pork porridge. Ye Huaichen was about to have breakfast.
"Brother Chen, did you sleep well last night? I brought you porridge."
"Little Baozi, have you had breakfast? If not, come with me to eat." Ye Huaichen invited her to eat together.
His breakfast has many kinds, including steamed buns, eight-treasure porridge, pastries and so on. Mu Chaochao had breakfast with her unceremoniously.
"It's delicious." This is the richest breakfast meal she has ever had here. "Brother Chen, I made this porridge. You can eat it and see." Mu Chaochao gave him a bowl.
"Your Highness, Yi Cheng and Mr. Li have something to report." A guard came in to report.
"Well, let them wait in the front hall." Ye Huaichen walked to the front hall after finishing the porridge.
"I have met His Highness Seventh Highness in my humble position." Yi Cheng and Li Zimu saluted.
"Exemption."
"I wonder if His Majesty Seventh Prince is living comfortably?" Yi Cheng asked cautiously.
"Shang Ke, what should Zhang Yicheng report?"
"Your Highness, there was a heavy rain last night and the bridge in the west direction of the city collapsed. Your Highness may be delayed at the inn for a few more days."
"Well, who is the magistrate of Feng County?" Ye Huaichen asked casually.
"The county magistrate Gao's name is Song. He has been in office for less than half a year." Yi Cheng lowered his eyes. Is the seventh prince trying to blame the county magistrate? .
"His Royal Highness knows, please go down first."
"Yes, Your Highness, I am resigning from my humble position."
His Highness Seventh Prince checked into the inn, and Magistrate Gao has not yet shown his face. Is His Highness dissatisfied? Yi Cheng thought about it and walked out.
