On the broad official road outside the capital, a team of horse-drawn carriages was moving slowly.
There were a total of eight vehicles in the convoy. Except for the two vehicles in the front which were occupied by people, the back ones were all filled with boxes of various sizes.
Little Lingling leaned against the carriage bored, lifted the curtain with her little hand and looked outside, as if looking for something.
I just looked for a while, and there were only mountains...
"Master, do you think Mother will really go home with us? When will she be able to join us?"
Jiang Xinian held a medical book in his hand and read it slowly, then picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip.
"He should be here, but I don't know when exactly. For the sake of your mother's safety, she will definitely not reveal her whereabouts to us.
But we are not in a hurry anyway, we can just walk back slowly and eventually we will meet up again."
Little Bell said "oh" listlessly and lowered the curtains.
However, it was the height of summer, and even though the team would take a break at noon to avoid the hottest time, the carriage was already stuffy.
Little Lingling couldn't bear it anymore. Her little face turned red and her hair on her forehead was wet with sweat.
No, if it gets this hot, she will definitely turn into a grilled fish!
She didn't care whether her master would be suspicious or not, and quietly made a hand gesture. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in the car, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Jiang Xinian reacted very quickly and looked at Xiao Lingling, only to see that the girl was leaning against the carriage and pretending to sleep.
Unfortunately, her slightly rapid breathing and trembling eyelashes revealed her guilty conscience.
Jiang Xinian chuckled silently, then took advantage of the fact that it was not hot at the moment, put down the book and closed his eyes to rest.
Little Lingling waited for a long time but heard nothing. She quietly opened her eyelids and saw that her master had already fallen asleep with his arms around his chest?!
Xiao Lingling touched her nose, said nothing, turned around, opened the window, and pointed at the carriage behind her. A red light invisible to ordinary people flashed by, and the temperature in the carriage behind her began to slowly drop.
It took Xiao Lingling a long time to feel the sweat on her body drying up. She curled up comfortably in the chair and fell asleep.
They only traveled for three days in a row, but because the weather was hot, they were not fast and only covered half the distance in three days.
At noon that day, the driver found a cooler place at the foot of a cliff to rest, intending to rest here for a while and continue his journey after the hottest part of the afternoon was over.
The scenery here is pretty good. It is a small valley with a not very wide stream. Various wild flowers grow on both sides of the river. You can smell the rich fragrance of flowers as you get close.
"Wow, mommy, look, there are so many flowers, they smell so good!"
Fang was also a little surprised. "Yes, there are really a lot. The scenery here is really beautiful. Let's go and see if there are any wild vegetables.
We've been eating dried vegetables lately, so let's change the taste today!"
Xiao Lingling had been feeling bored these days and naturally did not refuse. She followed Fang and set off with the basket in her hand.
Fortunately, this side was relatively open, and Jiang Xinian and Lin Feng did not stop them.
Fang was conscientiously digging wild vegetables, but Xiao Lingdang had sent Chunying and Qiuyan to Fang's place early, and she secretly started cooking for herself.
She put some fruits picked from the space into the basket, and even caught a pheasant and a rabbit.
It has to be said that she was really greedy!
real!
So, when Fang came back with half a basket of wild vegetables, she saw Xiao Lingling holding a chicken in her left hand, a rabbit in her right hand, and a small basket on her arm, which was filled with half a basket of various wild fruits.
Fang looked around and didn't see any fruit trees at all, so she knew without a doubt that it must be another secret of the little girl.
She quickly coughed twice. "Oh, not bad, you found so many wild fruits! Not bad, not bad! Come on, take the pheasants and rabbits over and let Aunt Qiao roast them!"
Aunt Qiao is the cook of the Jiang family. She came specially to cook for them this time. Her cooking skills are really good. Even the dried vegetables are cooked with flavor.
Little Bell couldn't wait any longer. "Hmm, hmm, then let's go quickly. Mom, let me give you two wild fruits first. They're so sweet!"
There were many kinds of fruits in the basket, such as lychees, plums, and apricots. Fang picked two at random. They were both quite sweet, with some slightly sour, and the taste was not bad.
"Oh, it's really delicious. Send some to your master!"
Xiao Lingdang asked Chunying and Qiuyan to catch a few each, and then ran back.
However, before he got close, he discovered that there seemed to be two more carriages next to his own caravan.
The carriage looked bigger than the one they were riding in, but it looked unremarkable from the outside.
Little Bell's brain raced, and she guessed what was going on.
When she trotted to the foot of the cliff, she saw Pei Huan, who was in casual clothes, talking happily to Jiang Xinian.
Little Bell was a little surprised, "Mother, uh, godmother! You guys are finally here!"
Pei Huan turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw Xiao Lingling, the smile in his eyes seemed to be unable to be hidden. He quickly stood up and walked towards Xiao Lingling.
"Oh my dear, it's only been a few days since I last saw you, and I miss you so much! Come on, let me see if you've lost weight?"
Xiao Lingdang carried her things and circled in front of Pei Huan. "Godmother, I haven't lost weight. I've been eating and not working these days. Maybe I've even gained weight."
Pei Huan poked her nose in amusement, "You, you're not fat! What are you carrying? Hurry up and get someone to take it. Look at the sweat on your forehead!"
Yuehua quickly stepped forward to take it, and Pei Huan carefully wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
Little Lingling blushed and picked up two lychees and put them into Pei Huan's hands.
"Godmother, please try them! These fruits are delicious. I was lucky enough to see them and they let me pick them all."
Pei Huan naturally knew these fruits. The others were fine, but the lychees really surprised her.
"Hey, aren't lychees only grown in the south? Why do we have them here too?"
As she spoke, she gently scratched a hole with her fingernail, peeled it open and put it in her mouth. She was immediately captivated by the sweet taste.
"Hmm~~~ It's so sweet! Much sweeter than the tribute dishes I ate before!"
Little Bell scratched his head guiltily, "Hehehe, then, maybe it's because the nutrients in the mountains are good!"
Pei Huan nodded, "Yes, yes, our little Lingling is really smart. Come on, are you hungry? Godmother brought a lot of snacks when she came. Eat something to fill your stomach first.
"Sister-in-law, come and have some too. I left a little later than you did, and these were just made yesterday at noon. They've been kept refrigerated, so they haven't gone bad yet."
