Chapter 576: Reunion
It takes three or four hours to get from the town to the county.
There was an inn in the town, but they definitely didn't have the money to stay there, and they were in a hurry...
So the old man asked A Shui to walk at night and walk slowly.
A Shui was an honest and simple man. After hearing what the old man said, he had no objection and drove the ox cart to the county.
Fortunately, there is a moon tonight, and there is only one road to the county. It is a bit slow, but it is still quite smooth.
A Shui was afraid of tiring the cows, so he stopped and started frequently. The journey that should have taken three hours took him six or seven hours. When he arrived at the county gate, it was already dawn.
There was a long queue at the city gate, and people were queuing up to enter the city.
Gou Wa fell asleep in Wei Qing's arms. He woke up with a yawn after the old man called him twice.
"Go into the city?" The old man came close to Wei Qing and asked in a low voice.
Wei Qing thought, there was a wanted poster for him in the town, and there must be one at the gate of the county town as well. If he entered the city, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?
Wei Qing shook his head and whispered about the wanted warrant.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go in and give you a message?"
Wei Qing had the same idea.
He handed the wanted poster to the old man and whispered in his ear, "Go find the owner of Ningfeng Restaurant. It must be the owner. Then give him this wanted poster and say that you have seen the person there."
The old man nodded and put the wanted poster away: "Don't worry."
Wei Qing clasped his fists towards the old man and said, "Thank you very much."
"I also don't want my grandson to be like his father." The old man muttered.
It costs money to enter the city, so the old man did not bring his grandson with him, but went in by himself.
Wei Qing held Gou Wa's hand and looked at the hunched figure queuing at the city gate, hoping that the old man would have a safe and smooth journey.
Gou Wa was unaware of the dangers of this trip and looked eagerly at his grandfather: "I want to go to the county town to play, too."
Wei Qing patted his head: "There will be a chance."
The old man entered the county town. He had been here thirty years ago, and now standing here, he felt a little at a loss.
Fortunately, this Ningfeng Restaurant is very famous. He asked a few people and found out the location of the restaurant, then walked towards it.
It took him about half an hour to reach his destination.
He tried to straighten his body and looked at this luxurious restaurant. Everyone who came and went was dressed in luxurious clothes, while he was dressed in rags. Would the owner meet him instead of driving him away like a beggar?
The old man took a deep breath and walked towards the restaurant.
A young man came over and asked, "Old man, do you want to eat?"
The waiter didn't chase him away? Those small shops would chase him away when they saw him, but such a big restaurant was so kind to him. This restaurant is really special.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said to the clerk, "I want to see your boss."
"What do you want to see our boss for?" the waiter asked with a smile.
"Is your boss looking for someone?" asked the old man.
The clerk's expression changed slightly: "You sit here, I'll go tell our shopkeeper about this."
Soon, the old man was taken upstairs and into a room where stood a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes and with an extraordinary demeanor. He was the owner of Ningfeng Restaurant in Zhangmu County.
The shopkeeper's attitude was very gentle: "Old man, how did you know I was looking for someone?"
The old man took out a wanted poster from his arms, spread it out and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"I've seen the people up there."
The person who gave the order was to find the person in the portrait, and now we have a clue. That’s great!
The shopkeeper was immediately delighted: "Then do you know where he is?"
"I know. Actually, he asked me to come to you."
"Take me to find him!" the shopkeeper said hurriedly.
Wei Qing brought Gou Wa and A Shui and waited about a mile away from the city gate.
A Shui and Gou Wa were both sleeping. Wei Qing was sitting on a rock, looking towards the city gate.
He was anxious and worried, wondering whether the old man had seen the shopkeeper.
He waited anxiously for about half an hour, and then he saw a luxurious carriage leaving the city and heading straight towards them.
The carriage stopped in front of them. A Shui and Gou Wa woke up and stared at the carriage.
This was the first time they had seen a carriage!
At this time, two people got off the carriage.
"Grandpa!" Gou Wa shouted in surprise.
His grandfather actually got on a carriage!
The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes who came down from behind walked up to Wei Qing and looked at him expectantly.
Wei Qing raised his head, and a handsome and resolute face appeared from under his hat.
The middle-aged man's face was full of joy. This was the husband of the head shopkeeper, so the middle-aged man called him "Master".
"Master, that's great! I finally found you!"
Wei Qing nodded.
"Is there any way to get into the city?" Wei Qing asked.
"This carriage has a secret compartment. You just need to hide in it," said the shopkeeper.
Wei Qing nodded.
He asked the shopkeeper for money, gave Ah Shui the money for the ox cart, and then touched Gou Wa's head.
"How about going to the county town to have some fun?"
Gou Wa nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
The old man told Ah Shui not to talk about what happened today. Ah Shui nodded and drove away in the ox cart.
Wei Qing hid in the secret compartment of the carriage. The shopkeeper took the old man and Gou Wa in the carriage, and the group entered the city.
Wei Qing had his own things to do, so he handed the old man and the dog to the shopkeeper's men for care, and asked the shopkeeper to give them some rice and money.
He remembered that Gou Wa's dream was to eat white rice.
It's time to say goodbye.
"Old man, I will never let Gou Wa repeat his father's fate." Wei Qing promised seriously.
The old man nodded and said, "Thank you, sir."
Gou Wa looked at Wei Qing: "Uncle, will I be able to see you again?"
Wei Qing's expression softened a bit, and he patted his head: "I'll come to see you when uncle is free. Be good and help your grandfather more, okay?"
Gou Wa nodded: "Okay!"
Wei Qing smiled and said, "Good boy, little man."
Gou Wa's face turned slightly red and he puffed out his little chest.
After Wei Qing said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, he was taken to his residence by the shopkeeper.
"Some time ago, I received a letter from the chief shopkeeper, looking for me. I hope you are fine, the chief shopkeeper will definitely be very happy to know." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
His wife was indeed looking for him. She must have been very worried during this period.
The shopkeeper's surname was Lu. Wei Qing said, "Shopkeeper Lu, I'll write a letter to let you know I'm safe. Please give it to your head shopkeeper for me."
Wei Qing wrote a letter and gave it to Shopkeeper Lu, who immediately sent it out.
Manager Lu was in contact with Fourteen and the others, and he also passed the news to Fourteen.
In the afternoon, Fourteen arrived. There were ten people in the group, one of whom was Lao Hu.
When Fourteen saw Wei Qing, his eyes suddenly lit up. The master was safe and sound, that was great!
Lao Hu rushed towards Wei Qing and hugged him tightly.
"That's great, sir, I'm so glad you're okay! Wuuuuuuu!" A man in his thirties burst into tears.
Just as he was about to smear his snot on Wei Qing, Wei Qing quickly touched his forehead and pushed him away.
It was so dangerous before, Wei Qing originally thought that Lao Hu was in great danger, but now that he saw that he was alive, he was actually quite happy.
"Old Hu, how did you survive?" Wei Qing asked.
"I just lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and then I really fainted until these people found me." Lao Hu laughed.
After a brief reunion, everyone planned to set off back to the capital.
Wangxian County is the eldest princess's territory, and the journey is still full of dangers. I hope nothing else happens.
