It's not strange that Xiao Qiu was wearing a wedding dress; what's strange is that Xiao Qiu, wearing a wedding dress, performed an autopsy on herself.
How terrifying! Why did I die?
How did I die?
Also, he clearly remembers that he was wearing the groom's clothes, so how did he die?
Gu En pondered these strange thoughts for a while before falling asleep again.
After all, the pills that Gu Xin had the servant give him had a calming effect. He was just startled awake by a beautiful dream turning into a nightmare. After drinking such a large pot of water, his mind calmed down and he was able to sleep well.
...
At this moment, a torrential downpour began in Tongzhou. Yesterday afternoon, Wang Pangzi's carriage broke down, and the horse was injured. So he had no choice but to take his two servants to look for a place nearby to see if they could find an oxcart to help.
As a result, they didn't find the village until nightfall. All three of them were terrible with directions and went in the opposite direction, which was completely different from the small village they had imagined as a necessary stop on their way from the capital to Tongzhou.
After finding the village, one of Wang Pangzi's followers slipped and rolled down the hillside because of the rain and muddy roads. Fortunately, Wang Pangzi had been exercising well during this time, so he was able to find a tree branch to support himself as he went down and then carry the man back up.
After entering the village, they found a household with only two elderly people and stayed overnight.
As a result, it rained all day today, even harder than yesterday, making it impossible to leave the village. Wang Pangzi had no choice but to borrow a straw hat and raincoat from the old man and have another follower go to find the village's barefoot doctor, guided by the old man.
On the first day of the imperial examination, Fatty Wang thought he should stay home and receive a proper education from his father. Unexpectedly, he couldn't go home yesterday, and he still couldn't go home today.
He started to panic. How long would this rain last?
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, he got up, picked up the oil lamp, and went to the window to look out through the small earthen window.
As a result, just as the oil lamp shone on the bedside, a gust of wind blew it out.
Fatty Wang panicked even more.
He didn't know what he was panicking about.
"Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong." Fatty Wang walked to the side and patted his follower.
"Young master, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you hungry?" Sui Xiaodong woke up groggily and asked when he saw it was Fatty Wang.
"No, I'm just feeling uneasy. Let me ask you, if we ask for directions and buy an oxcart from a villager, would you know how to drive it?" Fatty Wang asked.
"Yes, I can drive an oxcart," the servant replied from Xiao Dong.
“Alright. Tomorrow morning, after the old man wakes up, go and tell him we’re buying the ox and ask who would be willing to buy it. After we buy it, we’ll brave the rain and head back to Tongzhou. Didn’t the old man say it only takes four hours to get to Tongzhou by oxcart? We might even encounter a horse-drawn carriage on the main road and get a ride. As for Xiao Xi, let him stay with the old man for a few days. We’ll come back to pick him up when we return from Tongzhou,” Fatty Wang said.
"Ah? Young master, what if the rain keeps going on? The mountain roads are difficult to travel, I'm worried..." Before Xiao Dong could finish speaking, Wang Pangzi interrupted him, frowning. "No matter how difficult the roads are, I just want to go back immediately. If it weren't for the darkness and the rain outside, I would leave right away. You don't know how uneasy I feel."
