Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 25 Family Letter
Yan Ciwan's injuries have not yet healed, so it is not suitable for her to travel long distances for the time being. In addition, she has no possessions on her, so she cannot go to Chang'an. She can only find a place to stay in the city for the time being.

She planned to heal her injuries, find a way to get herself a place to live, and then set off for Chang'an.

During this period, she could also take a look at the situation in the court. If there was a chance, she wanted to save Liu.

Yan Ciwan did not go directly to Cixin Temple, but came to an inn called Taoran Xianju.

The store clerk treated her warmly.

"Excuse me, ma'am, do you want to have a drink and a meal or stay in a hotel to rest?"

Yan Ciwan looked around. It was noon. The lobby was full of guests. Almost every table had ordered wine. There was a lot of noise as people toasted each other, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of wine.

She said, "Eat."

Seeing that she was a girl and alone, the waiter took her to a small table against the wall and brought a screen to create a small single room for her.

Yan Ciwan thanked him and casually ordered a few of the restaurant's specialties.

Fish stewed with water shield, chicken noodle soup, and soft date cake.

The guy asked her if she wanted to drink?
Drinking is prevalent in Daye, and both men and women love to drink. Yan Ciwan also loves to drink, and she can drink a lot, but she is injured now and should not drink, so she has to refuse.

Soon the food was served.

Yan Ciwan took two bites. Although the food was not as delicious as the one cooked by the chef in the Xizhou Palace, it still had its own flavor.

Most of the diners in the restaurant were locals. They ate and chatted, and some of them talked about the latest gossip in the city.

"Have you heard? The daughter of a soldier was already dead and lying in a coffin, but she suddenly came back to life!"

"Perhaps it was because Madam Chao and Chao Er Niang often gave porridge and medicine to poor people and accumulated merits that allowed Chao Er Niang to return to the world of the living after a trip to the gates of hell."

"That Chao Er Niang was lucky, but the maidservants around her were miserable! I have a relative who works in the government office. He said that a female corpse was found not long ago. It was the maidservant around Chao Er Niang. Her name seemed to be Ying." "The city has been very uneasy recently. Nine girls have been killed one after another in the past year. They were all raped and killed. Their deaths were miserable."

"The government said they were doing their best to investigate, but after so long they still haven't found any clues."

"I don't dare let the women in my family go out alone anymore. If they run into that murderous devil, it will be the end of us."

"You don't have to worry about that. I heard that the girls who were killed were all young and beautiful. With the looks of your wife and daughter, the murderer may not be interested in them."

"Try to say something nonsense again, I will beat you up, do you believe it?!"

……

The diners had all been drinking, and as they were drunk, they spoke without thinking.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the guy hurried over to persuade them to stop fighting, and finally managed to calm the two men down.

Yan Ciwan finished her meal in silence. When the waiter came to settle the bill, Yan Ciwan asked to stay the night, and the waiter immediately took her to the guest room in the backyard.

There were writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in the room, so Yan Ciwan picked up his pen and wrote a letter home.

She wrote in a letter home about how Yan Tingyu had murdered her, and stated how difficult her current situation was, hoping that her father would send someone to help her as soon as possible.

From the time she was injured and fell into the water to now being alone outside, Yan Ciwan had always been very calm. Only at this moment, when she was writing a letter to her father, did she finally reveal some of the grievance of a little girl.

As she wrote, her eyes became red. If her father were by her side, she would definitely not have suffered such hardship.

She put all the grievances and helplessness that she could not show in front of others into this thin letter home.
