Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 261 Trip to the Capital (9)

Being blocked in the ruined temple by a sudden heavy rain, everyone was feeling restless. You must know that according to the current progress of their bodyguard team, they will be able to reach Wuyang in a day and a half. Regardless of the age, Zhou Huaiyan or the Escorts can take a break at the station to relieve the exhaustion of the past few days, and the result?The whole plan was disrupted directly by the heavy rain in front of him.

Because of this heavy rain, Chunqiu reckons that they can only sleep in the open in the ruined temple tonight, and cannot continue on their way. In this way, their bodyguard team will at least delay half a day on the road, and when they arrive in Wuyang, it is already Two days later, the bodyguard team will not rest at that time. This is what Chunqiu is worried about. You must know that no matter how uncomfortable Chunqiu is in the past few days, he just simply wipes his body with water. It is basically impossible to take a bath to relieve fatigue. , she hasn't showered for five days, and she is dragging on, Chunqiu will go crazy sooner or later.

At this time, Chunqiu was on the verge of collapse. Although she was prepared to endure hardships, the hardships came unexpectedly.

Although she is not picky about places, who can bear sleeping on the street every day.

Chunqiu was extremely depressed, and she still couldn't tell about this matter, alas, Chunqiu curled up his legs, and covered his legs with the blanket he brought from the carriage, with his hands on his chin, his eyes wide open, Staring straight in front of her eyes, the clusters of flames that kept climbing up, although her face was expressionless, the low air pressure emanating from her body still made Zhou Huaiyan who had been paying close attention to her notice it.

The venison brought back by Master Wang was directly shared among the people around him. As an important figure in this dart trip, Zhou Huaiyan got a lot of venison. Moreover, because of his age, Master Wang gave an extra amount of venison to the people around him. There are a lot of people. At this time, the venison has been cut into small pieces by green pine, sprinkled with cumin and other seasonings and roasted next to the fire. Of course, the seasonings are sponsored by the Spring and Autumn Festival, and everyone present has a share .

The venison was roasted under the action of the fire until it crackled. Although Chunqiu didn't turn his head, he could hear the voices of the people next door. He took a sneak peek, and Chunqiu turned his head immediately. Chunqiu was still not interested in listening to the people talking. Although they are all talking about the deeds of the bodyguards traveling all over the years.

Because of depression, even though there are strings of meat skewers that make people drool on the opposite side of Chunqiu, Chunqiu has no appetite, let alone appetite.

Looking at the flying fingers on the opposite side, she was not sure what she was thinking.

The meat skewers that had been tested were placed next to the two of them by Qingsong. The fragrance of cumin paired with the crispy roasted venison looked very tempting. , Chunqiu directly turned his head and turned his back to those meat skewers exuding a tempting smell, out of sight and out of mind.

"Junior Sister, the skewered meat is ready, why don't you try it?"

Zhou Huaiyan casually picked up the two meat skewers that had passed the exam, and patted Chunqiu on the shoulder. Could it be because of the weather, Zhou Huaiyan found that his junior sister's temper fluctuated greatly in recent days.

Thinking about the food that his junior sister likes to eat on weekdays, Zhou Huaiyan still hoped that his junior sister would be happy.

Obviously, Zhou Huaiyan's trick this time didn't work for Chunqiu. Not only did Chunqiu not look back, but he shook his head and refused. She ate some pastries given by the other party before, and she is not very hungry now.

"Senior brother, you can eat first, I'm not hungry yet." Chunqiu's interest faded when he spoke, almost full of melancholy.

Zhou Huaiyan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head amusedly, he really didn't know that such a villain as his junior sister could still feel melancholy.

After hearing Chunqiu's words, Zhou Huaiyan did not take her words, but waved to Qingsong and Qingfeng beside him, and pointed to the unroasted venison, motioning for them to take it away, and Qingsong and Qingfeng took it away. Following the orders of my young master, the venison in his hand retreated to a place three meters away from the two of them and sat down. There was also a bonfire burning there.

Seeing that there was no one there, Zhou Huaiyan just wanted to speak to persuade his junior sister, but saw Master Wang gesturing to him.

As soon as he returned his hand, Zhou Huaiyan stood up, and he had no choice but to suppress the words of persuasion in his heart.

Chunqiu turned his head and only heard a sound beside him. He thought it was his brother getting up to move around, but he didn't pay attention to it. For a moment, Chunqiu was startled unexpectedly by the pair of white boots that appeared in front of him.

From the bottom to the top, Chunqiu slowly raised his head.

"Brother?"

Chunqiu paused, and didn't understand why the senior brother would come over, so he could call her if there was anything to do.

Zhou Huaiyan smiled, "Junior Sister, Master Wang calls us again, it should be to discuss tomorrow's journey." After Zhou Huaiyan finished speaking, he turned sideways to reveal Master Wang who was looking over not far away, as if he noticed Chunqiu's gaze Similarly, Master Wang beckoned to Chunqiu, and compared to the people at the side, obviously he had something to announce.

It turned out that she didn't see when Master Wang stretched out his hand just now, Chunqiu rubbed the back of his head a little ashamed, smiled apologetically at Master Wang, and then stretched out his hand to signal that he would go over immediately.

Getting up from the ground, Chunqiu patted his palms and said to Zhou Huaiyan, "Brother, let's go over there."

"Um"

Zhou Huaiyan nodded, Chunqiu followed behind Zhou Huaiyan, and the two walked towards the door.

The two sat in the vacant seats that Master Wang saw. Master Wang immediately reached out and patted his palms when he saw people coming, and said loudly, "Mr. We are planning to take the Wuyang route, then bypass Qingyang, and go straight to the capital." Speaking of this, Master Wang turned his head and looked at Zhou Huaiyan, and after getting the other party's affirmation, he continued, "But... the rain today is a bit heavy. The evil gate, not far ahead is a line of sky, which is the only place to pass through Wuyang City. I am worried that the road will be difficult tomorrow, and I am afraid that I will have to change the road again." Master Wang smiled wryly. I have already changed the road once, and now I have to change it again, which feels quite uncomfortable.

And when he came, Master Wang knew that this road was not peaceful. If he changed the road now, he would take a small road. Not only would it not be as safe as the official road, but the road would be narrow and difficult to pass, and it would be unsafe. Alas, Master Wang is an experienced veteran who has been running darts all year round, so he feels a little uneasy.

Of course, what Master Wang said was mainly for Zhou Huaiyan who was on the side. After all, the owner of the bodyguard still needs the consent of the bodyguard to change the route.

After listening to Master Wang's words, Zhou Huaiyanmin pursed his lips, his expression became condensed, and he kept tapping his index finger on his knee, presumably he also had some calculations in his heart.
