Xie Siheng raised his hand and touched the bandaged wound on his face. He said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "I know."
After saying this, the carriage fell silent again.
Ji Changying and his friends hurried along the way, taking one step forward and one step back.
Unexpectedly, Ji Luyuan and Lin actually got on the horse-drawn carriage used by the yamen runners to pull things. Ji Ruofeng and Ji Ruolin were also arranged to sit on the shaft of the carriage outside, so they didn't have to walk on the ground.
This made everyone look sideways.
Ji Ruolin was like a proud rooster, raising her chin and looking at others with disdain.
As she walked past Ji Changying, she said sarcastically, "A peasant is always a peasant, no matter what time it is."
Ji Changchuan bent down, grabbed a handful of mud and threw it over, hitting Ji Ruolin in the mouth: "People with dirty mouths are always dirty."
Ji Ruofeng quickly covered his mouth and moved away with a look of disgust.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!!! Ugh~"
Ji Ruolin didn't expect that someone would suddenly throw mud into her mouth, and she bent over and vomited violently.
The brother and sister looked at each other in tacit understanding and touched hands.
“Well done!”
"Thank you for the compliment." Ji Changchuan showed his white teeth and looked at Ji Changying with a bit of mischief.
Ji Fengshou didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw the two of them teaming up to bully others. Instead, he was very happy.
When the exiles saw the county town gate, they almost cried for joy.
Finally we can go into the city!
The officer who saw this was also very happy: "Let's rest here tonight!"
After entering the city gate, Zhang Ziwei collected one or two taels of silver from the yamen runner's family and took them to a cheap inn.
All people, regardless of gender, were arranged on a large bunk bed.
Old Huang frowned as he looked at the shabby inn. After hesitating for a moment, he asked for two upper rooms.
"Girl, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?" Old Huang ran to Ji Changying with an enthusiastic attitude.
"To show kindness without any purpose is either a traitor or a thief."
Ji Changying had seen the old man following them that afternoon.
I just thought that this road was not hers after all, so if he wanted to follow, let him follow.
"Hey! Why are you so stubborn, you little girl? I really have something to discuss with you." Old Huang thought she was as prickly as a hedgehog.
But thinking about what happened last time, I felt more confident: "There is money to be made for you!"
Ji Changying turned the words around and asked, "When is dinner?"
Mr. Huang almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
You little bastard who's obsessed with money!
Looking at the dirty, messy and foot-stinking bunk bed in front of them, many people's faces turned green.
I don’t know how long the bedding on top hasn’t been changed. It looks black and almost patinaed.
One tael of silver and you can live in a place like this?
A group of people are angry but dare not speak out.
They are like a group of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, with no other options but to wait to be slaughtered.
Some people could not bear it any more and went to the innkeeper to ask for extra money to change rooms.
The shopkeeper immediately completed the formalities with a smile on his face.
The yamen runners looked on without any reaction.
With someone taking the lead, several other families followed suit and changed rooms.
Ji Changying looked at Hu with her watery eyes pitifully, which softened her heart.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Change! Let's change too!"
Ji Changying hugged Hu's arm and acted coquettishly: "I knew that my aunt loved me the most!"
Since Mrs. Hu had made up her mind, she did not regret it and simply changed two clean rooms, which made her feel a little more comfortable.
As soon as they were settled, many people began to get restless.
I haven't been to the city for a while and I almost forgot what it looks like.
What's more, after so many days without food, many people have learned their lesson and must prepare food.
Seeing them like this, the yamen runners smiled in agreement, knowing that their chance to make money had come: "Anyone who wants to bring anything can come to us now!"
"My, my, my! Sir, I need to bring some things!"
"I want to take it too!"
A group of people swarmed up and rushed towards the yamen runners.
Ji Fengshou, carrying the task given by Hu, quietly found Zhang Ziwei and slipped a piece of silver into his hand: "Sir, you see, there are only a few of us in my family, and the weather is getting colder. If I don't buy some thick clothes, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. I don't want you to go through the trouble of bringing them back. Can I go with you?"
Zhang Ziwei felt around and found three taels of silver in his hand.
His frown suddenly relaxed: "I'm going to the county government office to stamp the official documents. You can come with us!"
"Okay!" Ji Fengshou answered with a surprised smile.
It was worth it that he gave three taels of silver.
Otherwise this matter will be really difficult to handle!
After hearing the news, Ji Fengshou went back home with a happy face and told his family. After Mrs. Hu gave him many instructions, the bailiff took the shackles from Ji Feng and took him out.
Half of the yamen runners had left, and the rest were staying in the inn to take care of the prisoners.
After Mr. Huang and Xie Siheng washed up and changed their clothes in the upper room, the table of dishes ordered by the waiter from the restaurant outside was also delivered.
"Among the group of people downstairs, there is one called..." Mr. Huang suddenly got stuck.
A proper name is definitely not something awesome, what is it called?
He actually forgot to ask for so many days!
Xie Siheng and the waiter both looked at him.
Huang Lao waved his hands in frustration: "Forget it, go down."
The waiter answered respectfully, "Yes."
"I forgot to ask her name."
Xie Siheng showed no emotion. "During this period, only the Ji family was exiled to Liangzhou. However, the Ji family are all scholars. I have never heard of anyone practicing martial arts. Not to mention the women, even the men have never hired a martial arts master."
"You may not know all the people in the Ji family. If I were this girl's parents, I would definitely not tell everyone that my daughter has someone to teach her." Old Huang waved his hand indifferently.
"Forget it, I'll go and invite him myself."
After saying this, Mr. Huang asked where Ji Changying's family lived and called her to the upper room.
The three of them sat opposite each other.
It was the first time that Xie Siheng looked at Ji Changying in such a clear view.
The girl's skin was slightly dark, and her thick hair half covered her eyebrows and eyes, revealing only her high nose bridge and beautiful lips.
Overall it doesn't seem to be anything special.
But he clearly remembered the first time he saw her, her pair of bright and clear eyes, clean without a trace of impurities.
It makes people want to destroy it.
Xie Siheng lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip silently.
Old Huang stared at Ji Changying for a long time, and found that she only had eyes for the food on the table in front of her!
"Ahem, I came to you to discuss something."
Ji Changying struggled to pull her eyes away from the table full of delicious food.
The smell went straight into her nose, and even the beauty opposite her was not as attractive as the food in front of her.
"It's not something, it's business we need to discuss. Hurry up and say whatever you want to say. I'm in a hurry to eat."
Ji Changying corrected his wording.
Huang Lao's mouth twitched: "Okay, I won't waste any more words. I would like to ask you to be our bodyguard and ensure the safety of him and me."
