But now that the situation with the Gu family is so ugly, I’m afraid something unexpected will happen.
"How about we cut some meat today to celebrate the move?"
Gu Linbei said this a little cautiously.
Lu Yanqia was also craving for meat, and immediately looked at Gu Linbei with shining eyes.
Compared to wild boar meat hunted down from the mountains, Lu Yan prefers the taste of domesticated pigs. It has no fishy smell and the meat is not so tough.
"Okay, buy more!" Lu Yan remembered that he had learned how to make bacon before the end of the world.
Although the temperature in Xiaohe Village was not suitable for making bacon, she could make it and hide it in the space. This way, she wouldn't be left without food while fleeing the famine. Thinking of this, Lu Yan was eager to try it.
Hearing what his wife said, Gu Linbei was overjoyed.
Even the speed of riding horses has increased a lot.
The two men quickly entered the city.
Lu Yan naturally couldn't take Gu Linbei to the post station to return the horse, so she said without hesitation: "Go choose an ox and buy an ox cart first, I'll come to you later."
Hearing her solemn words, Gu Linbei frowned slightly.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you know where the post station is?"
Lu Yan's body suddenly stiffened. She casually took out a charcoal pencil from the space and opened her palm, wanting Gu Linbei to draw for her.
However, the map that Yu Nian had previously drawn for Lu Yan had been completely blurred by the sweat in his hands.
Lu Yan's hands were now pitch black, as if he had just come back from coal mining and had not had time to wash his hands.
For a moment, Lu Yan's face was filled with embarrassment.
She wanted to scratch her head to ease the embarrassment, but unexpectedly...
Gu Linbei grabbed Lu Yan's hand.
Although the two had had several intimate contacts, they had never done anything so innocent.
Lu Yan's face turned red.
It's completely red.
"You...what are you doing?"
Lu Yan, who has always been decisive and resolute, felt uncomfortable at this moment.
Even when he was talking, he seemed to be steaming.
"You'd better not draw your hand." Gu Linbei paused and said seriously, "The market is behind the post station. I'll take you there first."
Hey, the service attitude is pretty good.
Lu Yan quickly put away her uncomfortable expression and said cheerfully, "Thank you."
Gu Linbei looked at her like this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two of them quickly went towards the post station, one in front and one behind.
However, the two were targeted as soon as they entered the city.
In an alley at the corner of a street, a little beggar walked quickly through the county town of An County. He walked around the winding streets and finally stopped at the door of a house.
The flowers on the tree in front of the house have withered, and there is a sense of deathly silence.
In the yard, a man was already getting impatient waiting.
Seeing the little beggar running in breathlessly, the person who was dozing on the recliner suddenly opened his sharp eyes.
"Sir...sir."
The little beggar ran in and looked at the person in front of him tremblingly.
The beggar was only twelve or thirteen years old, still a half-grown child.
In his eyes, a servant from such a wealthy family was already out of his reach.
"Those two bitches came into town?"
Butler Song opened his eyes, his face full of contempt.
Yes, this is not anywhere else.
It’s the Song family.
Mr. Song had people searching for his wife all night yesterday, and he thought she was completely gone. He never expected that she would be found in Xiaohe Village.
Early this morning, Mrs. Song returned with Song Jiao'e.
Although Mr. Song was annoyed by Song Jiao'e's insistence on marrying Gu Lao Er, he couldn't let others bully his family. Therefore, An County had already laid a tight net, ready to wait for Lu Yan to fall into it.
"They came... they came, but the other woman in the portrait didn't come." The little beggar paused and spoke cautiously, "Only one woman and one man came. The man was fat and looked difficult to deal with."
After the little beggar finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Butler Song eagerly.
The housekeeper thought about it and roughly guessed that the people coming were Lu Yan and Gu Linbei.
He raised his hand and slowly stroked the beard on his chin, as if thinking about something.
The master said that he wanted to vent his anger for his young lady.
Therefore, Lu Yan is still the most important.
As for her other sister-in-law, you can ignore her for the time being.
"Come here." The butler gave an order and called two servants over.
The two servants looked at Butler Song respectfully, waiting quietly for his instructions.
"Send a few more people to follow her." He narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce look in his eyes: "She is just a woman, I want to see what else she can do."
After the butler finished speaking, the two servants received the order and left.
At this moment, Mr. Song also came out from the main hall.
"What a country woman! How dare you bully my Song family! This is simply outrageous."
As soon as Mr. Song finished speaking, he saw Madam Song and Song Jiao'e walking out of the room together.
The expressions of both of them were not very good, and they were waiting to see Lu Yan get into trouble.
Song Jiao'e gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Dad, they have to catch him alive. I will make her, Lu Yan, pay back a thousand times over for all the suffering I've endured."
When Song Jiao'e mentioned Lu Yan, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
This morning, there was a commotion in Xiaohe Village, and she was completely embarrassed.
Not only that…
The villagers almost drowned her in the pond.
The Gu family was indifferent to her situation, and it was only her mother who managed to save her life. As for Gu Lao Er, don't listen to his outward claims that he didn't dislike her.
In fact, they were all nice things to say. It was just because she was now related to the Song family again that he didn't want to break up with her.
Just like now, Gu Laoer was walking slowly at the back.
Always keep your head down.
He didn't say a word, but only raised his head when Mr. Song said he would give the Gu family some money as compensation.
"Don't worry," Mrs. Song glanced at her daughter and patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Don't worry, your father has no reason to refuse such a small matter."
She said it with such confidence that Song Jiao'e's heart, which had been in her throat, completely calmed down.
This time, Mr. Song was looking for the bandits from the nearby Qinglong Mountain.
In Song Jiao'e's opinion, no matter how powerful Lu Yan is, he cannot fight against the bandits.
It was said that the Qinglong Mountain bandits were known for their arson, murder, and looting, committing all sorts of evil. They would surely be dead on their way back.
Thinking of this, Song Jiao'e curled up a wicked smile.
Now that she has the support of her mother's family, she is sure that Lu Yan is no match for her.
Lu Yan was completely unaware that someone was planning to cause trouble for her.
She had just returned the horse to the post station and started strolling on the street.
There are many stalls on both sides of the street.
The most popular items were candied haws, followed by some snacks. Lu Yan took a quick look and spotted several that she really wanted to eat, so she placed her orders without hesitation.
