Chapter 066 You pushed me away because you wanted to come here!
Gu Mingyu said with red eyes: "Don't cry, Lan'er is fine now. At least she doesn't have to suffer from the hardships of displacement. She is a sensible child. As mother said, there are no cowards in the Gu family. Just meet her. She won't feel comfortable if she doesn't."
Old Madam Gu glared at her eldest son, as if she thought his tone was bad, but Zhang Yi didn't care.
Although Zhang Yi was worried about her daughter, she knew what everyone said made sense, so she didn't say anything more in the end. After all, it was obviously impossible to take a detour.
…
At the gate of Zhuzhou City, the yamen runners went to negotiate with the guards. Li Mumu stuck her head out to look into the city. Zhuzhou was a place of considerable importance in Dongyao State, but to her it also seemed dilapidated and decadent.
Maybe it has something to do with the years of war.
Zhang Xiang showed off his power in the exile team, but he was also servile to the guards. After entering the city, he went directly to the post station to rest.
It was a lot easier for the yamen runners, but it was no different for the exiled prisoners. The only difference was that the resting place was changed from a small stable to a larger stable, but the management was stricter and there were guards everywhere.
After Zhang Yi arrived at the post station, he began to tidy up his hair and clothes, fearing that his daughter would feel uncomfortable seeing his messy and haggard appearance.
Li Mumu didn't have the heart to say that her cousin couldn't come at the moment.
It's been an hour or so now. If he wanted to come, he would have received the news long ago.
Although Song Qiang also wanted to stay and see her niece, the girl was still very young when she got married, and they had been together for several years, so how could she not have feelings for each other? However, she asked herself that this opportunity should be given to someone who needed it more.
Someone has to do the shopping. As we go through the states, there are fewer and fewer places to buy things. This time we have to buy more things.
But the prerequisite is to get Zhang Xiang's permission.
But Zhang Xiang unexpectedly disagreed. "No, this is Zhuzhou. If you walk around in prison uniforms and someone sees you, I won't be able to explain myself."
Song Qiang was a little anxious, but this was exactly what Li Mumu was thinking. "Uncle, then let's not wear prison uniforms anymore. We can't run away anyway, and we don't dare to run. Let's change into normal clothes and go buy some things. I was originally planning to buy some herbs. If you feel unwell in the future, Mumu will definitely be able to cure you as soon as possible."
Song Qiang also nodded, "We won't run away."
Li Mumu blinked at Song Qiang again, and Song Qiang immediately understood. Holding back the pain, he increased the amount of silver to ten taels. There was no other way. He couldn't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child.
Besides, their silver didn't decrease much after spending so long. After all, they had earned a lot of money from selling ginseng and wolf skins before.
Ten taels of silver! Zhang Xiang's mouth twitched. "That makes some sense. If there are too many people, who knows what kind of illness they might get. We need to buy some herbs. Then you two can go."
"This..." Song Qiang felt that the two of them, an adult and a child, couldn't buy anything.
"Why do you think it's not enough? You can go anywhere!"
"Sir, that's not what I meant. It's just the two of us." Song Qiang gritted her teeth and thought that she had to buy more.
"Wait, there's me too!" Xie Xun whispered.
He is not a prisoner, Zhang Xiang has no control over him, he can go if he wants to.
"Your body... hasn't recovered yet." Old Master Gu said with a worried look on his face.
Li Mumu said, if this wasn't grandpa's grandson who was living away from home, then there must be other reasons, but grandpa didn't have those wicked thoughts.
"Much better." Xie Xun nodded slightly. He admired Li Mumu's medical skills very much, especially when he learned that this little girl did not have a master, but learned it by herself by reading medical books. He couldn't believe it.
Seeing that Xie Xun looked much better, Mr. Gu agreed.
Song Qiang kept talking all the way, from the time she didn't wear prison uniform to the time when Gu Lan would arrive. Li Mumu was anxious at this moment, and she wanted to hurry to the prefect's mansion to check on her cousin.
"Second aunt, I want to go over there."
"But I haven't finished shopping yet?" Song Qiang said.
Li Mumu was just waiting for this moment. "Second Aunt, Mumu will be back soon. You buy it first. We'll meet at...at the clinic."
Li Mumu pointed to the clinic not far away. She had to buy some medicinal herbs when she came back later. She had given all the herbs she had bought before to Chen Dongqing and the others.
"Second Madam, I'll go with her." Xie Xun said.
Song Qiang felt that Xie Xun was not the kind of child who would give sweet words. "Please don't lose Mumu. This is the life of our whole family. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
"Second aunt, Mumu knows how to read, so let's meet here at Chunlin Hall. See you there."
Song Qiang was amused by her appearance, "This kid...Okay, go quickly and come back soon."
Li Mumu's next problem was how to get rid of Xie Xun, this follower was following her too closely.
Before she could think of how to get rid of her, Xie Xun asked, "Aren't you going to buy something? Why are you here?"
Li Mumu looked up and found that she had strayed from the street where she could buy things, but she knew where it was, as it took her half the night to find it.
"Where are you going?" Xie Xun asked again in a deep voice.
Li Mumu raised an eyebrow and said, "I need to go to the restroom."
"there!"
Xie Xun pointed to a simple toilet built with sticks outside a wall.
She looked embarrassed. They were so close that she didn't even have a chance to pee.
Xie Xun had long seen that the little girl didn't have such an idea. At first, he thought she wanted to secretly buy some delicious food, after all, children are greedy. But she didn't even look at those stalls, so he saw that the little girl had other ideas.
Li Mumu felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. According to Li's description, her location was not far from the prefectural mansion, just around this row of houses.
But Xie Xun was following so closely that it was difficult for her to slip away. But this was the only way. "I'll wait a while. If you mind the smell, just stand further away."
Li Mumu glanced at Xie Xun's expression and felt secretly proud. She stole glances at Xie Xun in the toilet. He couldn't keep staring at her.
But Xie Xun is really like that.
Li Mumu had no choice but to get some bees from the space. Fortunately, she secretly applied pollen on Xie Xun's body.
She curled her lips and said, "Go!"
Xie Xun was suddenly besieged by several bees and was puzzled. Why were there still bees at this time?
The moment Li Mumu saw him being entangled by bees, she sneaked away.
However, she still felt a bit troubled by the high walls of the prefectural mansion.
She knew the locations of the dog holes of the Gu and Li families very well. After all, she had the memories of the original owners, but there was no description of where the dog hole of the prefectural mansion was.
There is someone guarding the back door, how can she get in?
"So, you got rid of me to come here?"
Li Mumu turned around and saw Xie Xun with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face.
Wrong decision!
