Chapter 560 The feeling of being cheated
Lin Mo quietly got on the Qi family's carriage and left Beijia Village without alerting other people in Yuancheng.
Qi Zhenghuan looked at the indifferent woman across from him and shook his head:
"Look at you, you dare to run around with a big belly, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Lin Mo threw a piece of dried meat into his mouth and shook his head:
“If anything happens, you’re done.
After all, this means that your Qi family is not safe and there is a traitor among your people.
Master Qi, I have placed my entire life and property on your shoulders. You must protect my safety."
Qi Zhenghuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Why does he feel like he's been cheated?
Qi Zhenghuan shook his head, throwing away these illusions, and then said seriously, "I really have to thank you for your help this time. Don't worry, I will do my best to escort you safely to Qinghe City.
But I don’t understand, Qinghe City is like a dangerous place for you.
Look at you, why did you go to Qinghe City for no reason?
Also, in Qinghe City, because of the Song family, my Qi family's power has been severely suppressed. If you need help, I'm afraid I can't help you at all!"
Qi Zhenghuan is a man of his word, so he made things clear first.
Otherwise, if she has problems and I can't help her, she will be unhappy.
Because the Song family is the only dominant family in Qinghe City, it is difficult for other forces to penetrate.
His Qi family invested a lot of money in Qinghe City, but now only an inconspicuous grocery store is still standing, and all other businesses have gone bankrupt.
Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head, "I'm not that stupid to go to Qinghe City and provoke the Song family.
Don't worry, I'm going to Qinghe City to do some business. I'll be away for two days at most. I don't intend to confront the Song family now.
Also, you don't need to thank me for Beiling's affairs. I'm just a bridge, but I get a percentage of your dividends every year. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who makes the profit, isn't it?"
Haha, she won’t do business that will lose money.
This act of matchmaking cost her a lot of favors.
Qi Zhenghuan smiled, "That's the dividend you earned based on your own ability, so I'm willing to give it to you.
To be honest, you know a lot of people, each one more influential than the last.”
Knowing that he was on good terms with the Xu family, he was basically not troubled.
I originally thought that this trip would take him a lot of time, and he might even return empty-handed in the end.
But he didn't expect that the matter would be negotiated smoothly, and the terms agreed upon were much lower than he expected.
So this 10% is what she deserves.
After all, if it weren't for her, he would have to pay a higher price and might not even be able to reach an agreement. Now that all the connections have been opened up, he still made a profit.
When leaving, the other party mentioned in a subtle way that he had made some good friends.
As soon as he heard it, he knew who the other person was talking about.
So, he remembered this favor.
Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively, "What's the big deal? Everyone knows a few big guys. It's not worth mentioning."
Qi Zhenghuan liked her attitude and said with a smile:
"Then Madam Xu, please remember to introduce me to the big boss you know. Don't worry, if the deal is successful, you will definitely get all the benefits."
"There will definitely be a chance."
…
In order to take care of Lin Mo's health, Qi Zhenghuan deliberately slowed down his pace.
Find a place to rest when it gets dark and set off on your journey when it gets light.
Five days passed in a flash.
According to Qi Zhenghuan's calculations, they would be able to reach Qinghe City by noon the day after tomorrow, which took a lot longer than previously estimated.
But there was nothing we could do about it. It was snowing and the carriage couldn't move fast.
On this day, they checked into the inn in Anhe Town before 3:00 p.m.
According to Qi Zhenghuan, if they continued on their journey, it would take three hours before they could find a place to stay.
But now it is winter and it gets dark quickly.
After walking for another three hours, it was already late at night.
So it’s better to stay in Anhe Town for one night and continue our journey tomorrow.
"Young Madam, you should have a good rest first. I'll have someone come up to invite you when dinner is ready." Qi Zhenghuan said to Lin Mo who was about to go to the guest room to rest.
Lin Mo nodded to show that he understood.
However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked around, focusing on the outside of the inn.
After a while, she finally spoke:
"Master Qi, do you think this town is a little strange?
At this time, there was no one walking on the street.
Besides, many shops in this town are closed. Is the weather really that cold now?"
Also, this inn was closed when they arrived.
After knocking on the door for a long time, the shopkeeper finally opened it with a trembling body.
Qi Zhenghuan glanced outside and said, "Maybe it's because it's too cold. Go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll send someone out to get some information."
Lin Mo turned around and walked upstairs without hesitation.
After she entered the guest room, Qi Zhenghuan looked at Qi Zhengfei, who was leading the carriage towards the carriage parked in the backyard of the inn.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Zhenghuan chased after him.
“Big Brother!”
Qi Zhengfei didn't turn around, "Master Qi, did you call the wrong person? Your eldest brother is not here. You called the wrong person."
Qi Zhenghuan smiled bitterly, "After all these years, are you still blaming me?
then……"
"Master Qi, you've got the wrong person." Qi Zhengfei interrupted him, tied up the carriage, and walked out with a cold expression.
Qi Zhenghuan stretched out his hand to block his way, tilting his head:
"Grandfather misses you very much. His health is getting worse and worse. Are you sure you don't want to go back and see him?
What happened back then was truly a misunderstanding, Grandfather..."
"Master Qi." Qi Zhengfei raised his head and interrupted him again:
"If you want to recognize your relatives, go find someone else, don't come to me. I have severed ties with your Qi family a long time ago."
After saying that, he walked past him and left.
Qi Zhenghuan stood there for a long time before he sighed and left.
…
When it got dark, a strong wind blew in Anhe Town and the snow turned from light snow to heavy snow.
The howling wind made the doors and windows rattle.
Lin Mo drank the hot chicken soup and shook her head as she looked towards the gate. "The wind is so strong, I wonder if we can make the journey tomorrow."
Qi Zhenghuan took a look and said, "There's definitely no problem in continuing on our way, we just have to walk slower.
But tomorrow's weather will be even colder, are you sure you can handle it?"
His eyes subconsciously glanced at her body.
Is it an illusion?
He always felt that her belly had grown a lot bigger in the past few days.
This made him even more frightened, fearing that something might happen to her!
"I'm fine. I enjoy everything I eat." Lin Mo chuckled.
Who knows the value of a bowl of steaming chicken soup in the middle of winter?
Comfortable!
Lin Mo leaned lazily on the stool and shook his head:
"Don't worry about me. I know my body well."
As long as you have enough food and drink along the way, don't live too well.
Afraid that she would catch a cold, Qinglian even laid three thick quilts on their own carriage. What could happen?
It’s still easy now, but in two or three months, it’s hard to say.
Lin Mo still sighed, her pregnancy affected the speed at which she could make money.
"Well, then, when the snow stops tomorrow, we'll continue on our journey." Qi Zhenghuan nodded, "But you should go to bed early tonight. It's snowing heavily now, and I'm afraid the road will be even more difficult to travel.
Also, it might be very late tomorrow night before we get to our next place of accommodation."
Lin Mo had no objection to this.
The two chatted about some unimportant things and then prepared to go back to their own rooms to rest.
At this moment, there was a violent knock on the door outside the inn.
Bang, bang, bang!
On a snowy night, the knock on the door was particularly loud and harsh.
Everyone looked towards the door.
Before Qi Zhenghuan and others could say anything, the shopkeeper beside them became nervous.
“Who, who!
Our inn is full tonight, so if you want to stay, please go somewhere else."
After saying this, he quietly signaled Qi Zhenghuan and the others to hurry up and rest, and not to make any noise.
The shopkeeper's action shocked everyone.
Qi Zhenghuan looked at the shopkeeper with a strange look in his eyes, "Shopkeeper, what's going on?"
They were the only ones staying overnight, and the inn had many rooms available. Why did the innkeeper say there were no rooms available?
The shopkeeper was nervous, "Guests, please go up quickly and don't open the door.
No matter what sound you hear, don’t come out.”
Seeing the shopkeeper so nervous that he was about to cry, everyone became even more confused.
But before they could make any move, there was a loud bang on the door.
The shopkeeper was desperate, "It's over, it's too late."
He trembled as he went to open the door, "Don't talk for a moment, I...I will take care of this."
Before he could open the door, it couldn't withstand the violent collision and opened with a creak.
The moment the door opened, the howling north wind blew in, sweeping away all the warmth in the room and leaving only the coldness in the room.
Lin Mo looked at the group of people who broke in with shock.
Are they really human?
The exposed skin of these people had varying degrees of ulceration, and since they walked in, there was an unpleasant smell in the house.
And these smells are emitted from these people.
When the innkeeper saw them, his legs softened and he knelt down, his voice filled with tears:
"I...I'll give you food, just leave quickly and don't scare my guests!
Woohoo, if you scare people away again, I won’t be able to do business here anymore!
I don’t have money to sell you food.”
The shopkeeper's eyes were red.
The inn's waiter, following the innkeeper's signal, had already come out trembling with fear, carrying a bag of food.
The leader was a man whose face was rotten to the eye sockets.
He glanced around and finally stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Mo.
"Walk!"
The voice is hoarse and unpleasant.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened and his body trembled. "You...you can't take her away. She's just an innocent person passing by."
But the next second, the man walked towards him, and the shopkeeper was so scared that he hid aside.
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, there is a problem!
Can't let him touch it!
