Tong Wen Yao frowned and asked, "Sister, shouldn't we wait for Second Uncle to recuperate for a few days before going back?" She shook her head. There were still two people alive on the mountain. She was worried that they would find helpers to seek revenge, so it would be better to go back as soon as possible.
After getting a blanket to cover the second uncle and making sure that there was no air leaking into his body and he had caught a cold, Tong Wenyao and she carried him from the front and back, respectively.
Tong Wenyao had been doing a lot of work lately, and she'd been drinking the spring water from the space from time to time, so she had some strength left. Tong Wenyao was even stronger than her, needless to say. After lifting it, most of the weight was on Tong Wenyao's shoulders, while Tong Wenyao balanced the frame. Since it was a staircase, Tong Wenyao was in the front, lifting it. The waiter saw her and offered to help. The three of them carried Tong Hong to the carriage, and she threw the little snow leopard in with him. Guaiguai was afraid of the cold, so she put him in the space.
After settling the remaining balance at the inn, he thanked the waiter and left. Before leaving, the waiter even suggested that Tong Wenyao buy a stove to put in the carriage before leaving the city, so that the people inside would not be cold during the journey. Tong Wenyao thanked the waiter repeatedly. But he waved his hand and began to say, "We used to feel sorry for each other. Why can't my unfilial son be as good as you, taking such good care of your father and having a sensible brother?"
Tong Wenyao didn't feel much about this. In her previous life, she had no children, and she was still a little kid when she traveled here. But even so, she still comforted him, "Uncle, you told me before that he likes to wield sticks and spears. Support him and encourage him. Maybe he can live a different life!"
After hearing this, he had a trace of sadness in his eyes and sighed heavily. According to his previous thoughts, he probably didn't want his son to wield swords and sticks, but now, there were barbarians coming to the border to harass and rob, and it was time for him to go into battle and kill the enemy.
He looked at the rising sun. The vitality and brilliance it exuded were exactly the same as his son's spirit. His smile seemed to be as contagious as the sunshine.
After Tong Wen Yao drove away in the carriage, Pei Guanyu on the second floor of the inn opened the window and watched her drive away, then ordered, "Mo Yun, prepare the carriage and follow." Mo Yun didn't dare to say much. He saluted and stepped back, waving his hand to ask someone to arrange these things. Then he returned to his master and saw that he was still standing by the window. He couldn't help but said, "Master, it's too cold by the window, so it's better not to open it too much." Mo Yun had just finished speaking when Pei Guanyu started coughing violently. Mo Yun quickly patted his back, trying to make him feel more comfortable while coughing.
When Pei Guanyu stopped coughing, Mo Yun handed him a cup of fragrant tea to rinse his mouth, then went back to closing the window. He said in a disgruntled tone, "My Lord, you should return to the capital to recuperate quickly. Why did you go to that hellhole of hers?" He kept on talking, not noticing that Pei Guanyu's face darkened. It wasn't until Secret Guard One swiped some dust from the beams above his head that he stopped and looked at Secret Guard One. "I'm telling you, why did you stir up so much dust on the beams?"
After hearing this, Number One wanted to die. I was kind enough to remind you, but you stabbed me instead. Pei Guanyu frowned, his face not looking good, and said coldly, "Mo Yun, if you stop talking, go down and get punished."
After hearing this, Mo Yun immediately shut his mouth and glared at the beam, which made No. 1 feel puzzled.
On this side, after Tong Wen Yao drove the carriage out of the city, her hand was frozen stiff, and even her breathing from time to time could not relieve the pain. When Tong Wen Yao saw this, he asked him to come, but he had never driven a carriage, and Tong Wen Yao did not dare to give it to him at the beginning, so they both sat in the front of the carriage, with Tong Wen Yao holding the reins, and she taught him on the side. At the beginning, Tong Wen Yao pulled too hard, causing the horse to run very fast after being stressed. Tong Wen Yao did not react in time, and habitually fell backwards, hitting her head heavily on the wooden board, and even almost threw Tong Wen Yao out. Fortunately, she held on to the wooden board tightly. When Tong Wen Yao realized it, he immediately called for a stop, and then the carriage was stabilized and was not dragged into the ditch by the horse, but this also scared Tong Wen Yao.
At this moment, no matter what Tong Wen Yao said, he didn't dare to give him the reins. If his second uncle hadn't spoken for him, Tong Wen Yao would have planned to drive the carriage for the rest of the journey home.
Fortunately, Tong Wenyao also learned it later. In addition, he knew how to ride a horse before. Although he couldn't say that he had mastered driving a horse-drawn carriage completely, he could be said to have learned most of it.
Tong Wen Yao finally felt comfortable letting him drive for a while, and she went into the carriage to warm herself by the fire. She also considerately handed him a piece of cloth and asked him to tie it on his hands so that he wouldn't be so cold.
In this way, the two of them took turns, but most of the time, it was Tong Wenyao driving the carriage, Tong Wenyao inside, and the second uncle would half-recline against the carriage wall, holding the little snow leopard, closing his eyes to rest. He had just recovered from the remaining poison, and Tong Wenyao had broken and reattached his bones. This series of events had left him completely emaciated, but after enduring it, it was a kind of rebirth.
In the afternoon, Tong Wenyao drove her carriage back to Yuguan County. She decided to buy the horse so that it would be more convenient in the future. After paying the entrance fee, she drove the carriage to the carriage dealership.
"Brother, you guys wait inside for a while. I'll come out after I finish my work." She went in with the document. Most of the people inside were guests who came to rent a carriage and waiters. The living room was separated by a screen. One side was for people who rented carriages, and the other side was for people who came to return carriages.
Tong Wenyao found the waiter and said, "Brother, I'm here to buy a horse. I rented a horse from your family and I want to buy it."
The waiter took her document and glanced at her. He quickly searched in his mind. It seemed that no girl had come to rent a horse during this period. In addition, the document in his hand was the document of the old man who rented a horse a few days ago.
He asked casually, "Why, why didn't your grandpa come to return it?" Tong Wenyao smiled innocently and said, "Grandpa has something to do, so I came to buy it first."
After the waiter took the document, he took out another document, which was a sale and purchase certificate. When the time comes, after both parties sign it, they can go to the government to handle it. However, generally if both parties agree, they don't have to go to the government to handle it after signing. This frontier is not like the capital, and the control of horses is not that strict.
"Back then, your grandfather's deposit for renting a horse was fifteen taels. Our horses are top-quality horses, much better than those on the market, so in addition to the deposit, you will have to pay an extra five taels of silver."
Tong Wen Yao nodded after hearing this. She could see that his horse was a good one.
