Chapter 263 Sleep Well
When we arrived at Lingquan Town.
It was already evening.
Lu Qingyao decided to stay in the inn.
The enemy is in the open and in the dark. If someone wants to kill you, it will be unsafe wherever you live.
In comparison, it is better to stay in an inn than in the wilderness.
It's comfortable, and at least the kids can get a good night's sleep.
If there really is a ghost causing trouble, then if I meet a god, I will kill the god; if I meet a ghost, I will kill the ghost. I will accept all who come.
As soon as Xiuxiu entered the house, she began to check around.
Check the pillows and bedding to see if there is anything hidden inside.
If there is a poisonous spider or snake, even a bite from it can be fatal.
Check the cups, tea sets and tea to see if there is any drug in them?
Finally, I checked the walls and floor of the house to see if there were any hidden compartments or secret rooms in the room.
If someone came out of the wall or underground in the middle of the night, it would scare several people to death.
Checked it carefully.
Xiu Xiucai returned to their own room and said, "Sister, we have checked everything and there is no problem. Could it be that we are wrong?"
"Let Captain Sun investigate outside the house as well."
It’s too early to say whether there are any problems.
Lu Qingyao stood by the window and looked out from the second floor. On one side were endless mountains, and the eaves and roofs of the temple could be vaguely seen halfway up the mountain.
One window overlooks the town market.
There are endless streams of people walking on the street.
There are not only pilgrims coming and going, but also people from nearby villages and small vendors selling their wares along the street.
It's no different from any other street market.
After everything was packed and washed up, everyone started to have dinner.
The inn is so expensive, but the good thing is that it provides meals, and they are very plentiful.
You can go to the living room to eat by yourself, or have it delivered to your room.
But not all guest rooms have the same sumptuous meals; they are provided according to the different grades of the rooms.
This was the case in ancient times, with strict hierarchy.
The only one who can afford to live in the Tianzihao must be the master, and the common beds are reserved for the servants, but the conditions look pretty good.
Moreover, A'niang gave the shopkeeper some extra money and increased the food standards for the guards. They were not ordinary servants, but the elite in the military camp.
I have risked my life for you, so I must never let others suffer any loss or go hungry.
Although they ate, everyone was also very cautious. Before eating, they checked the tableware, food and tea thoroughly and tested them for poison one by one before enjoying them.
We still need to maintain this most basic vigilance.
Not only the food and supplies, but also the surrounding area of the inn was checked.
They searched everywhere where people could hide, including the woodshed, roofs, and trees, and even blocked the dog holes.
It is always better to be prepared.
This night.
The guards took turns on duty without any slackness.
It was a peaceful night.
After eating, Jiang Miaomiao felt sleepy and went back to her room to sleep.
Although the danger has not been eliminated, we cannot not eat or sleep. Children cannot stay up late.
Xier was accompanying him, while Jiang Xiaobai and Jiujiu were guarding him.
Jiujiu came back and told her that she didn't find anything unusual. Going further into the mountains, she found the Shuiyue Temple as people called it, and there was smoke coming out of the temple.
It seems that the incense is still very popular.
But after thinking about it, the spiritual spring doesn't seem to be surprising. It's just that people have made it sound magical.
After all, there was once a Twin Well in the modern southern town of Mojiang. It was said that drinking the well water there could give birth to twins.
In this small county town, there are more than a thousand pairs of twins living.
Although I don’t know if it’s because of the local people’s genes or the water.
In short, it has been widely circulated.
Perhaps it's the same here.
Jiang Miaomiao lay on the bed thinking, and soon her breathing became even and she started snoring softly.
Jiang Ziyan was quite envious of his sister who fell asleep so quickly. When he returned to his room, he discovered that his elder brother fell asleep even faster than his sister.
He lay beside his elder brother, listening to his snoring, which was actually a bit hypnotic.
Fell asleep quickly.
Spent a peaceful night.
early morning.
When Jiang Miaomiao woke up, breakfast was right in front of her. Xier tested it with a silver needle to make sure it was non-toxic before letting her eat it.
It seems that silver needles have become a must-have when going out, and everyone has one.
She ate some buns and milk, then went to find her brother next door. Her brother had said yesterday that he wanted to go shopping and give her some snacks for the journey.
A Niang also agreed.
They didn't say anything, but as soon as they left the inn, several guards followed them.
Jiang Miaomiao suddenly had several more bodyguards, and she felt quite impressive.
I wandered from one end of the street to the other, shopping everywhere and buying all the nuts and cakes in the town.
It’s true that Lingquan Town may be small, but it has everything.
There are inns, restaurants, food stalls and bakery shops.
There are high-end meals as well as street food.
After walking around for most of the morning, the brothers and sisters felt a little hungry, so they found a wonton stall that seemed to be doing good business and ordered a few bowls of wontons.
This is how it is with food places: food at places with many customers may not necessarily be that good, but stalls with few customers must have a reason for being so crowded, so it’s best not to try it lightly.
Otherwise you will probably regret it.
They found a place to sit down.
As luck would have it, there were two very familiar-looking women sitting at the next table.
When the two men saw them, they put down their veils and ran away without even finishing their wontons.
It turns out that the rich girl doesn't refuse to eat at street stalls, but she refuses to eat in front of outsiders.
Jiang Miaomiao shouted to the back of the person: "Second sister-in-law, third sister, you haven't finished eating the wontons yet."
"Did they see a ghost?" Jiang Zifeng looked at their departing backs with great curiosity.
Jiang Ziyan tapped his sister's forehead and said meaningfully, "They didn't see a ghost. I'm afraid they want to do something shameful."
"What? Who do they want to harm again?" Jiang Zifeng looked at his sister and moved closer to her.
Among this group of people, the only one weaker than them is the younger sister.
Could it be that he has something to hide after seeing his sister?
Jiang Ziyan: ...That’s what he said.
The two men only brought a maid each, and not even a guard. It was obvious that they had escaped secretly.
He asked the guards around him, "Did Captain Sun tell us not to let his wife go out alone?"
The guards nodded, "Indeed, we have."
Captain Sun's wife is a troublesome person. She dared to run out without any guards in this situation. I guess she thinks her life is too long.
The guards were helpless.
They came here on the general's orders to protect the Lu family mother and son, not to protect the two women.
But Captain Sun couldn't control his own woman.
Jiang Ziyan was a little worried that something might happen to the two of them, so he quickly arranged for two guards to follow the Xu sisters and sent one person back to report the news.
Jiang Miaomiao didn't think it was a big deal.
There are quite a few women traveling alone on this street, so nothing should happen.
Besides, the killers were not targeting them.
The killer's target is A Niang and the account book in her hand, so the one who should be more worried is A Niang.
Thinking so.
She was no longer in the mood to go shopping.
After strolling around for a while, he walked back slowly.
When I got back, I saw that my mother was safe and sound, and she and Aunt Xiuxiu were sorting out the dry food supplies.
She took a peaceful nap.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but I was woken up by a noise at the door.
"Aunt Qiao'er, my second brother's wife and Miss Xu San are missing. I heard that my two brothers have seen them?"
Jiang Miaomiao vaguely heard the voice of Mrs. Sun.
