Chapter 143 She will be seventeen next month



What happened to the three maids last night was so strange that she felt he was behind it.

Regardless of whether it is him or not, she has to know it clearly.

If he hadn't taken action, the matter would have been serious.

When Chaoge arrived at the backyard, he was stopped by a waiter: "Excuse me, sir, guests are not allowed to enter here."

"I'm looking for someone inside, someone we know."

"Sir, the guests inside have already left."

Chaoge!

Didn't he want her to be his maid?

What, are you just joking around with her for fun?

Although she never thought about it, but...

Wait, what was she thinking? What did it have to do with her whether the other person left or not?

Didn't she want to stay away from this group of people before?

But what are these people thinking? It’s raining heavily today. What’s the hurry? Why do they have to leave now?

Isn't the matter of the three maids in Madam He's room going to become an unsolvable mystery?

When they arrived at Zhou Dong's room, Chaoge took Zhou Daqiang's pulse and found that he was indeed recovering well. Chaoge asked Zhou Dong to go out, drained Zhou Daqiang again, and then took out the drainage bag.

"There is actually such a way to cure diseases and save lives in this world. We country folks have broadened our horizons. Little pigeon, you are really amazing."

Although he didn't know what was inserted into his body, Zhou Daqiang thought it was a medical treatment that only wealthy families could afford.

Not only he thought so, Zhou Dong also thought so.

"It's nothing, there's only a small amount of blood clots in your body, and the rest can be treated with medicine.

Let's rest in the inn for the next few days. I also plan to rest for a few days before setting off again.

I'll see if I can find a way to reset your kneecap. Now that the famine outside is over, you can start a new life once your leg is healed.

But I still need to find some medicinal herbs, and I don’t know if I can find them in this town.”

After hearing Chaoge's words, a glimmer of hope lit up in Zhou Daqiang's eyes, not because of his legs, but because his escape from famine could really be over.

"Is it really over? The war in the north is still going on, and these refugees who have left their homes can't go back, even though it's raining today.

But who knows if it’s raining in the north?”

"It's already raining in Xilin County. Someone I know told me yesterday that the imperial court has also sent people to settle the refugees.

Brother Daqiang, what are your plans?

I don't know if the war in the north has ended yet, and if you go back now, you don't know what the situation will be like."

"We are still hundreds of miles away from where the war broke out in the north, but I don't want to go back. I told my father last night that I won't go back even if the war stops and there's no disaster.

If we go back, we can never go back to the past, so why bother?

Little dove, you have helped us enough. When the rain stops, you can go wherever you want. We can't hold you back."

Chaoge couldn't bear to see Zhou Daqiang like this.

If it were Zhou Dong or Zhou Hehua, she would have just left.

"We'll talk about what happens next later. I plan to stay for a few more days anyway."

After Chaoge had dinner with them, he returned to his room.

During the day, Zhou Hehua stayed with her father and elder brother and did not come to disturb Chaoge. Chaoge also had the opportunity to get a good sleep.

It rained for several days and nights, and Chaoge slept for several days and nights. He made up for the sleep he had gotten during these days and fulfilled his promise to his baby. He heated up stream water in the space every day and took a hot bath.

It rained for seven days and seven nights, with each rain bringing a chill. On the eighth day the sky cleared up, and Chaoge planned to wait until the road surface had dried for a day before setting off.

It was only five or six hundred miles away from her hometown. If she rode a horse at full speed, it would only take two days to get there.

But she couldn't ride too fast, riding a horse was very bumpy, so she could only walk at a constant speed.

If you calculate the time, five or six days will be enough if you walk slowly.

But before going back, she really needs to make some preparations.

The original owner has been away from home for so many years, and I wonder what the home is like now.

The original owner's eldest brother should be almost fourteen years old, and the youngest one is ten years old.

Below her, she has a younger sister who is fifteen years old.

Thinking back to the original owner's family, Chaoge realized that September 16th next month would be the original owner's 17th birthday.

Seventeen? Haha, she's going to be a mother.

In modern times, that would mean you would be beaten by your family members one after another!

"Little pigeon, my dad wants to come in and say goodbye to you."

Just when Chaoge was thinking about whether to pretend to be poor or to play the victim before going back, Zhou Hehua walked in and interrupted her thoughts.

Looking back again, she saw Zhou Dong standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

After thinking carefully about what Zhou Hehua said, Chaoge immediately stood up and walked to the door: "Uncle Dong, don't be polite, come in and sit down first."

Zhou Dong entered the room and sat down at the eight-immortal table in the middle of the room. Chaoge poured him a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of him.

After these days of recuperation in the inn, not only Zhou Dong, but Chaoge also felt that they had become rounder, and Zhou Hehua's skin even became a little whiter.

"Why are you leaving suddenly?

Daqiang's leg hasn't healed yet, and I don't have enough herbs right now, so I can't treat him."

"Little pigeon, I heard that medicinal herbs are hard to find, but..."

As he spoke, Zhou Dong looked around the room, his eyes full of embarrassment: "But living in this inn all the time, the expenses are too high.

Yesterday I accidentally heard that a room like this costs two taels of silver a night, plus three meals a day and Daqiang's medicine......"

In fact, Chaoge didn’t really care about this little money. She mainly wanted Zhou Daqiang to get better completely.

But for Zhou Dong, this amount of silver and money is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

"Money is nothing, isn't this just right, Brother Daqiang?

Although it was a clear day, it had been raining for several days in a row, so even the official road was difficult to travel on.

Also, have you decided where to go?

Is there a place to stay? "

"Well, I was just about to tell you that when I went to get medicine for Daqiang yesterday, I met Brother Zhou Xiaoniu and Zhou Qiu.

Unexpectedly, they had just arrived in this town.

We have agreed to set off together today and head to Taichuan Prefecture.

It is said that King Ling will settle the refugees. There are already tens of thousands of refugees who have been settled in the towns and villages of various counties in Taichuan Prefecture. The journey is not far, just over a hundred miles, and it will take two or three days to get there."

Chaoge was a little surprised to hear that Zhou Qiu and Zhou Xiaoniu brothers were also in this town.

But after hearing that Zhou Dong already had a plan, Chaoge decided not to ask any more questions.

In fact, after spending these days together, we can all be considered friends who share weal and woe.

So many villagers died or dispersed, and only a few were able to walk here.

Some were covered in wounds while others were skinned alive. Chaoge knew how difficult it was for everyone.
