Chapter 133 Candied Haws
In the evening, they finally arrived at the post station outside Shanluo Town.
At this moment, the shabby post station looked unexpectedly good in everyone's eyes.
They could finally sleep on a kang and have enough food to eat.
Knowing that they had no food, as soon as they put down their luggage, Lao Wei asked them to find something to eat.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed to the town, fearing that they would be too late and not be able to buy anything to eat.
It's only two miles away from here to the town.
Lao Wei was too lazy to pay attention to them. They didn't dare to run away anyway, and they couldn't afford the consequences of running away.
He didn't have much to buy, and his leg injury made it difficult for him to walk, so he was too lazy to bother.
After asking Xiao Liuzi to bring him some wine, he prepared to go back to the opposite room to rest.
When he turned around and saw that Lin Mo didn't go to town, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It's rare that she didn't go to town.
"Mr. Wei, you seem surprised to see me?" Lin Mo, who was sitting on a chair at the door, raised her eyebrows at him.
Then he threw an oil-paper bag towards him:
"Jerky, fill your stomach first."
After saying that, he started to chew the dried meat in his hand openly.
This dried meat was prepared by Du Hengbai last night.
It tastes good.
Old Wei reached out to take it, then used the stick as a crutch and slowly walked to sit next to her.
He opened it, took out a piece and started chewing it.
"It would be even better if there was wine." Old Wei sighed.
This is definitely the best dish to go with wine.
Lin Mo turned her head and looked at him, "Master Wei, you are someone who knows how to enjoy life.
From what you said, have you finished the wine I gave you yesterday?"
"Isn't it normal after drinking?" Lao Wei said confidently:
"It's so cold, what's wrong with drinking more?"
Humph, if you give it to him, it’s his. He likes to drink it all in one gulp, so what?
"What do I dare to say? I dare not say anything." Lin Mo shook his head.
At the same time, he picked up a wine bag from the side and handed it over:
"A couple of sips?"
Lao Wei's face immediately turned sour.
He took it and said, "Didn't you say there was no more wine?"
"You must have heard it wrong." Lin Mo said nonchalantly:
"What kind of wine am I talking about? It's fruit wine."
Old Wei didn't believe her.
He realized that Lin Mo was becoming more and more dishonest and was setting traps for him everywhere.
He unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
It really is fruit wine.
The fruit flavor is very strong and the wine is very mellow. Lao Wei is very satisfied. This fruit wine is also good.
After taking two sips, he screwed the lid back on with satisfaction, and put the wine bag directly on his waist, taking it for himself.
Lin Mo laughed, "Master Wei, you are really rude."
Lao Wei rolled his eyes and said, "After doing so much, don't think you don't know that she has dug a trap for you."
He stretched himself and said, "Tell me, what tricks are you planning to pull?"
Lin Mo shook his head innocently, "No."
Seeing him staring at himself, grinning:
"Nothing serious, really. I just wanted to ask you about Baoan City."
King Luo’s fiefdom was in Bao’an City.
It’s only five days’ journey from here to Baoan City.
Prince Luo, the emperor's younger brother.
Back then, the prince who might have finally aspired to the throne was actually Prince Luo.
But the current emperor is smart and has won over Prince Anping.
With the help of Prince Anping, the emperor successfully ascended the throne, and Prince Luo could only retreat to the desolate Baoan City.
As for Prince Anping, this great contributor who had served the emperor well, he was eventually abandoned and beheaded, while his relatives were also confiscated and exiled.
She couldn't understand why Prince Anping was involved in party disputes.
It is clear that the Anping Palace was always neutral in the past, supporting whoever became emperor and never participating in any party disputes. Therefore, after going through many storms, the Anping Palace still stood firm.
What a pity...
Therefore, when they passed through Baoan City, King Luo was afraid that he would not let them go.
In his previous life, Xu Wuyan was called away by King Luo when he arrived in Baoan City.
When he came back, he had a narrow escape from death.
If it weren't for Miss Murong, his life would be in danger.
This is also the reason why she wanted to keep Miss Murong with her.
As long as she is here, Xu Wuyan will be fine.
Old Wei glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, pondered for a moment, and shook his head:
"Bao'an City is as solid as an iron barrel. Under the rule of King Luo, the politics are clear and the people are united. Therefore, if you cause trouble in Bao'an City, you may not be able to leave."
At this point, Lao Wei's tone became a little heavier:
"If you don't want to get into trouble, be more restrained when passing through Baoan City, leave the city as soon as possible, and don't linger."
Lin Mo was silent.
After a while, she looked up:
"Master Wei, can you take a detour?"
As she spoke, she took out a stack of banknotes and handed it over.
If you can avoid it by taking a detour, it is better to do so.
"No!" Lao Wei refused.
"Bao'an City is the only way to get to Mo City. And Bao'an City is surrounded by towering mountains. If you want to take a detour, you have to climb over these mountains. Ordinary people simply can't climb over them, so it's impossible to take a detour."
Thinking of their life-saving grace, Lao Wei's face turned serious:
"Since we knew there would be trouble passing through Baoan City, we should have thought of ways to deal with it in advance. King Luo... doesn't play by the rules."
After saying that, he took the dried meat and meat and left.
Lin Mo didn't say anything else.
After sitting there chewing on the dried meat and thinking for a long time, he stood up and walked into the house.
At this time, Liu Ying and Xu Xianyu and their sister had cleaned the kang.
Moreover, the kang was already heated, and the room was much warmer than outside.
Xu Wuyan and the other two injured men sat there bored.
Murong and Nanny Qin were not at home. They went to the town to buy food.
Because this area is relatively close to both the village and the town, it is convenient for shopping.
So when she saw that they wanted to go, Lin Mo didn't stop them, but just asked Xu Ping'an to protect them.
"Ma'am, please sit down."
Xu Wuyan patted the side of his body and motioned for her to sit over.
Lin Mo glanced at him and sat over.
Looking around, they saw that the people who stayed were busy packing up their accommodation for the night and no one noticed them.
Without waiting for Xu Wuyan to speak, Lin Mo spoke first:
"We're almost at Baoan City. What are your thoughts? Prince Luo...is no pushover."
Xu Wuyan knew that she was smart.
He shook his head at her and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for this matter."
Lin Mo glanced at him and wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back and turned her head to look elsewhere:
"You... forget it, just figure it out for yourself."
There's no point worrying now.
No one knew how Prince Luo would embarrass him, and it was impossible to take precautions in advance.
In his previous life, when he passed through Baoan City, King Luo summoned him.
The next day, when he was sent back to the team, he was covered in wounds and dying.
And it was during that time that he almost went to Mocheng to recuperate from his injuries.
When he died in his previous life, he looked so weak and frail.
You can see how serious the injury is.
And this time, he was still injured. If he were to suffer injuries as severe as in his previous life...
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive until I reach Mo City.
Lin Mo pursed his hands around his lips, looking serious.
She had already made up her mind that if King Luo wanted to see him, she would definitely follow him.
If he doesn't let her, then she will hide in the space and follow him.
If necessary, even if it means playing tricks, I must save his life.
Just as she was lost in thought, Xu Wuyan reached out and grabbed her hand:
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."
Lin Mo was stunned. Just as she was about to pull her hand out, Murong ran back excitedly.
"Lin Mo, look what delicious food I brought you."
"It's a candied haws, look!"
She handed the candied haws to Lin Mo as if she was presenting a treasure.
As soon as he saw Xu Wuyan's hand grabbing Lin Mo's, he pulled Xu Wuyan's hand away without any hesitation. Then, ignoring Xu Wuyan's dark face, he smiled and stuffed the candied haws into Lin Mo's hand:
"Here, this is the last bunch left. I snatched it back specially for you to eat."
Xu Wuyan’s face was very sour.
The more he looked at Murong, the more he disliked him. How could he be so attentive to his wife?
Should I keep my distance if I don’t know that she is a married woman?
An unnatural look flashed across Lin Mo's face. She felt something was wrong.
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't eat, Murong raised his eyebrows:
"Lin Mo, hurry up and eat it. I heard from Aunt Ying that you love hawthorn the most.
I tell you, the sour hawthorn tastes different after being coated in syrup. Come and try it."
Seeing Murong looking at him expectantly, Lin Mo took a bite embarrassedly.
The next second, her eyes lit up.
The crispness and sweetness of the syrup neutralize the sourness of the hawthorn, and the taste is unexpectedly delicious.
She looked at Murong and nodded vigorously:
"tasty!"
She couldn't help but take another bite, and there were four left. She asked her mother and Xu Xianyu to try one each, and then she stuffed the last one into Lin Shuo.
Seeing that she liked it, Murong couldn't help but feel regretful:
"If I had gone earlier, I could have bought you more."
Lin Mo shook her head, looking serious. "It's good to be able to taste it, Miss Murong, thank you!"
"It's just a small thing, and you still say thank you to me?" Murong curled his lips slightly:
"What is our relationship? You don't have to be so distant with me. After all..."
"Be more polite!" Xu Wuyan interrupted him expressionlessly, staring at him intently.
"Murong, what do you think?"
Lin Mo's eyes darkened. Did Xu Wuyan want her to maintain a relationship with Miss Murong?
Seeing them staring at each other, I couldn't help but whispered
"You don't need to quarrel because of me, I..."
"Madam," Xu Wuyan interrupted her and saw her looking at him with grievance.
"I'm sorry, I'm useless. I can't even fulfill Madam's simple wish of eating candied haws."
Lin Mo, “…”
Is there something wrong with his expression?
Shouldn't Xu Wuyan be jealous?
Jealous that Murong treats her so well, should she ignore him?
