Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 265 Rainy Night
Yan Ciwan shook his head: "A friend gave it to me. Does it look good?"

Chaolu praised without hesitation: "The style is very unique and suits you very well!"

When Xiao Wang saw this scene, the corners of his lips curled slightly.

After breakfast, the group set off again.

Yan Ciwan sat in the carriage and looked out through the window. He saw that the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.

It turned out that her prediction was correct. At noon, it suddenly started to rain.

The carriage stopped by the side for the time being, and Xiao Wang returned Xiao Ting to Jiang Tingyue.

Jiang Tingyue quickly wiped the rain off her son's face to prevent him from catching a cold. Then she looked at Xiao Wang and asked worriedly.

"It's raining. Do you still want to ride horses? Or why don't you get into the carriage and take shelter?"

They had three carriages in total, two of which were used to carry people and one was used to carry luggage. All of them were full. Xiao Wang didn't want to squeeze with them, so he politely declined his eldest sister-in-law's kindness.

Xiao Wang put on a straw hat, a raincoat, and got back on the horse.

Li Chengge hated the sticky feeling after being wet by the rain, so he got into the carriage where Xiao Xi and Jiang Tingyue's family were.

Seeing that Du Lingzhou didn't move, Xiao Wang asked, "Aren't you going to hide from the rain in the carriage?"

Du Lingzhou raised his chin and snorted, "How could I be worse than you for not even trying to hide from the rain, you sickly bastard? It's just a little rain, if you have the guts, make it rain harder!"

The rain didn't get heavier, but it continued for seven or eight days. Probably due to the rainy weather, no one was in high spirits.

On the ninth day, the rain finally stopped and the long-lost sun emerged from the clouds. The gloomy mood of the people for days was dispelled at once. They deliberately stayed in the inn for one more day and took a bath and washed their hair happily.

As a result, it started raining again a day later, and this time the rain was particularly heavy. The road was muddy and the carriage was shaking.

Xiao Xie was worried that the carriage might slip and cause injuries, so he asked everyone to stop traveling. They found someone to stay overnight in a nearby village and planned to continue their journey after the rain stopped.

The village chief specially cleaned up an unused house in the village and let them live in it.

The number of rooms is limited, so almost everyone shares a room with two people. Yan Ciwan and Chaolu live in the same room.

Zhaolu sat on the bed, reached out and touched the newly laid bedding, looked around, and suddenly said: "Aci, this place reminds me of Mengdie Villa."

Yan Ciwan picked up the teapot on the table and took a look. There was tea in it, but unfortunately it was cold.

She asked, "Why did you think of Mengdie Villa?"

"We were trapped in Mengdie Villa because of the heavy snow. Now we have to stay here because of the heavy rain. I feel that it is similar. Do you think there will be a strange murder here like in Mengdie Villa?"

Yan Ciwan paused while pouring the tea, and she immediately spat three times: "Don't say such unlucky words! What if it comes true?"

When Chaolu saw her nervous look, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Are you afraid of being made a suspect again?"

Yan Ciwan was really scared. Every time a case happened, she would suffer.

She picked up the teacup and smelled it. Finding no peculiar smell, she tried to drink a sip. It was called tea, but it was actually water boiled with dried lotus leaves. It was a little astringent and tasted a little strange, but fortunately it was not unpalatable.

So she brought another cup of tea to Chaolu and said angrily, "You know it and you still say it."

Zhaolu took the teacup and begged, "Don't be angry, I won't tell you."

She took a sip of tea and then suggested, "When we get to Chang'an, I'll go with you to Famen Temple to get a lucky charm. I heard the lucky charms there are quite effective. If you carry the lucky charm with you when you go out, you won't be unlucky enough to be involved in a murder case again."

Yan Ciwan said no, "I don't believe in this."

In fact, she already had a peace charm in her purse, which was given to her by Xiao Wang. Chaolu advised: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. It won't hurt to give it a try. What if it really works?"

"Really." Yan Ciwan put down the teacup. "I have to go out for something and will be back soon. If you are sleepy, go to bed first and don't wait for me."

"Know it."

Yan Ciwan no longer needs a cane, but still walks with a limp.

After she opened the door and walked out of the house, the cold wind mixed with rain blew towards her. She opened her oil-paper umbrella and slowly walked into the rain and fog.

Time passed quickly, and today was the day to detoxify Xiao Wang. If you counted carefully, this should be the fourteenth time she had detoxified Xiao Wang.

Only the last three times are left, and the poison of Luoxianweng in Xiao Wang's body can be completely eliminated, and by then Xiao Wang will no longer need her.

When Yan Ciwan thought of this, he felt a little lost.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside!

She paused, walked to the gate of the courtyard holding an umbrella, and looked out through the crack in the door. She saw a group of people coming to the village. They were all riding horses and wearing uniform clothes. They were actually people from the Inner Guard Palace.

Hadn't the Inner Guards already distanced themselves from them? How did they suddenly appear here?

Could it be that the Grand Chamberlain Si Buping is also here?
Yan Ciwan thought of the joke Chaolu had just said and had a bad feeling. Could it be that Chaolu was right and they would encounter a murder here again?

The sound of horse hooves outside gradually disappeared, but the people from the Inner Guard Palace did not leave. They stayed in the village tonight, but there were no other vacant houses in the village. The village chief could only vacate his own house for them to live in, and he and his family went to stay temporarily with relatives.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Aci."

Yan Ci Wan turned around and saw Xiao Wang. He was holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other. The night wind blew the lantern left and right, and the candlelight inside flickered.

"Why are you here?"

Yan Ciwan said, "I remember today is the day to detoxify you. I was just planning to go find you, but when I heard some noise outside, I came over to take a look. Why are you out too?"

"I guessed you would come to see me, so I came to pick you up in advance." Xiao Wang said as he walked closer to her. "This is not a place to talk, let's go in first."

"it is good."

The two came to the house where Xiao Wang lived. He lived with his uncle Jiu, but the house was empty at the moment and Uncle Jiu was nowhere to be seen, so Yan Ci asked.

"Where is Uncle Jiu?"

"He went out for something and won't be back until later."

In fact, Xiao Wang knew that Yan Ci would come to the party, so he found an excuse to send Uncle Jiu away in advance.

At this time, there were only Yan Ciwan and Xiao Wang in the room.

Although they all held umbrellas, they were still inevitably a little wet.

Xiao Wang brought a towel to Yan Ciwan and asked her to wipe it.

Yan Ci Wan took the towel and smelled a faint bitter medicinal smell, which was exactly the same as the smell on Xiao Wang.

She couldn't help but look at Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang asked in a gentle voice: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."
