Chapter 184: A head of red hair
These masked men are not well-trained professional assassins.
He is just an ordinary security guard with some skills.
If they were ordinary people, killing two adults and two children would be a piece of cake.
But Wen Yan is so amazing.
He was clearly only thirteen or fourteen years old, but when he killed people he acted more like a serious killer than them.
He was thinking,
He saw that the sleeve arrow tied to Wen Yan's arm was aimed at him.
He was so frightened that his eyes trembled and he stepped back subconsciously.
The person who gave the orders took the opportunity to go towards Wen Yan's horse.
The purpose of their trip was to destroy these four people to vent their anger and make them live a life worse than death, and to get back the 500 taels of silver from yesterday.
The young lady came from a prominent family, so she naturally looked down upon a mere five hundred taels of silver.
But these lowly slaves embarrassed the young lady for a little money.
Anyone who has offended the young lady will never have a good life.
He was already in front of the horse.
Wu Yunzi clenched the wooden stick in his hand, panicking.
But Pei'er was holding a hatchet and standing in front of the horse.
His eyes were determined, and he was determined to fight him to the death!
When Wen Yan saw the masked man trying to escape, he quickly lowered the angle of his sleeve arrow and pressed the trigger immediately.
The hard, thin, short arrow immediately pierced his thigh.
He screamed and fell to the ground, no longer able to resist.
Wen Yan went to help Pei'er without thinking.
This person is the most skilled among them.
If Wen Yan didn't have a hidden arrow, he would definitely be able to fight.
But Wen Yan's archery skills were superb, and he was afraid that before he could get close, the opponent's arrows would shoot him into a hornet's nest.
And the other side.
Uncle Shitou fought against three of them alone and knocked them down.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the man turned around and ran away.
Wen Yan did not chase after them, but instead mocked them loudly: "The Huo family has a long history of merit. Even if we are just the maids of the prince's wife, we are not something that can be bullied by those cats and dogs outside."
Pei'er echoed, "Our lady was born into the Wen family, a family with a long history, and her husband is the future Marquis of Jinping. With such honor, some people are not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
Bang!
The young woman slammed her palm on the table, furious: "Did she really say that?"
The masked man who had escaped back knelt on the ground, adding fuel to the fire in a fearful tone: "I dare not lie. They all mocked you, saying that you were not fit to carry the shoes of the Crown Prince's wife, but only fit to serve as a servant to the Crown Prince's wife."
The young woman was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot, her face turned ashen, and her hands couldn't stop shaking.
She angrily swept everything off the table.
"Marquis Jinping's Mansion! Madam Crown Prince! When I gain power, I will make sure you all die miserably!"
afternoon.
Just after three quarters past the afternoon, Wen Ruyue and his group checked into the post station.
Wen Yan and the others could only camp at a safe distance.
Wen Yan took out the black plum and mulberry liquid that had been soaked in raw oil for a day and a night, mixed it with other materials, and then asked Pei'er to dye Wu Yunzi's hair.
Pearl was clever and skillful and applied the hair dye quickly.
Wen Yan was preparing dinner on the side and reminded: "Dye her eyebrows and eyelashes as well."
"Oh!" Pei'er responded obediently.
Wu Yunzi protested, "It's okay to dye your eyebrows, but isn't it too much to dye your eyelashes too?"
Wen Yan glared.
Wu Yunzi lowered his head weakly.
Pearl immediately lifted his round chin and began to apply eyelashes little by little.
Wu Yunzi finished dyeing her hair and Wen Yan's dinner was ready.
Fragrant lean meat and wild vegetable porridge and freshly baked sesame cakes.
Each of us ate two large bowls.
Pei Er looked very satisfied: "This is the first time I have eaten food made by Miss, it tastes really good.
Miss, you have so many recipes in your head. If you open a restaurant, it will definitely be crowded with customers."
Wen Yan said, "Don't worry, I will open the restaurant. But when we return from Jinyang Prefecture, someone will wade into this muddy water before me."
Pei'er understood immediately: "So, Wen Ruyue will open a restaurant before you, just like 'Miao Bi Zhai' did?"
Wen Yan nodded.
"But what's her reason? Have you read the same recipe book?" Pei'er was puzzled.
Opening a restaurant is not like running a calligraphy and painting shop, it requires a lot of skills.
Wen Yan smiled and nodded: "As I told you, it's not much different."
Wen Yan did plan to open a restaurant.
But not now.
It is easy to make money by opening a restaurant as long as the food is excellent.
But at the same time, it is also the easiest place for people to find loopholes.
The Wen family, the Huo family, and the Lan family all stared at her covetously.
If he framed a few people in the restaurant, not only would it close down, but he might also get sued and put himself in jail.
Wen Yan has no background now and cannot stand under the dangerous wall.
As for Wen Ruyue,
As long as she dares to open a restaurant,
The young woman will treat her well.
After dinner, Pearl walked for a quarter of an hour before she found a small pond in a dense forest.
She washed the dishes, brought back a full pot of water, heated it up, and used it to wash Wu Yunzi's hair.
Pearl was worried: "The further north we go, the less water there is. I'm afraid we won't even have water to drink tomorrow."
Wen Yan patted her head: "Don't worry. There will be water tomorrow."
Tomorrow we will turn from the official road to the old road. There has been heavy rain in that area, so there will be no water shortage in the short term.
Pei'er believed everything Wen Yan said, to the point of blind obedience.
After the water was heated, he began to wash Wu Yunzi's hair.
The more Wu Yunzi washed, the more something felt wrong.
After washing,
He grabbed his wet hair and screamed, "Ah... red... why is it red! Why did my hair turn red?!"
Red hair, red eyebrows, red eyelashes, and overly pale skin due to albinism make Wu Yunzi look like a red-haired Western slave.
Wen Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wu Yunzi glared at him: "How dare you laugh at me? Before, I had white hair, and I could hide it by pretending to be an old man with white hair. But now I have red hair, it's even more eye-catching, okay!"
Seeing how angry he was, Wen Yan quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just that the black plums and mulberries weren't soaked long enough, so the color is a little lighter. Dye it a few more times and it will be fine."
For now, I can only let you be a slave in the Western Regions for a few days."
Wu Yunzi's overly pale skin flushed: "You are just bullying me!"
Wen Yan cried out that he was innocent.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning,
Wen Ruyue and the others set off.
Shortly after leaving the inn, we turned onto an old road.
After taking this old road, Wen Ruyue seemed like a different person.
Hurrying on the road in a hurry.
They walked for a day.
The road became muddy.
It is also much easier to find water.
After two days of continuous travel,
She met the steward in an abandoned post station.
The carriage entourage stopped outside the post station with great fanfare.
Wen Ruyue, supported by her maid, walked gracefully down from the carriage.
The steward immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to apologize.
Wen Ruyue's face looked very bad.
He kicked the steward on the head.
The steward cried out "Ouch" and rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
Wen Ruyue strode into the yard.
Looking at the yard filled with grains drying in the sun, not only had they all sprouted, they even emitted an unpleasant musty smell.
Sprouting is easy.
Once it gets moldy, it has to be sold at a low price.
Not only did she not make any money from this business, she might even lose her original capital.
Thinking of this, Wen Ruyue felt dizzy, her body swayed, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out.
