He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Seeing that Lu Sheng was acting awkward again, Lu Yan felt that Lu Sheng had been getting sick more and more frequently recently.

She thought for a while and decided not to tell Lu Sheng that the county magistrate would go to the poetry festival. After all, they were here to see their future son-in-law, so it was better for them not to stand out.

Lu Yan told Lu Sheng: "You all should restrain yourself at the poetry festival and give your senior brother Chu the chance to shine."

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes: "How did you know that Senior Brother Chu was going?"

Lu Yan stared at him expressionlessly for a while: "Miss Liu told me, otherwise?"

Lu Sheng coughed uncomfortably: "I know."

A few days later, when I woke up in the morning, I found that it was actually snowing.

The Lu family are all from the north and have no curiosity about snow. Lu Yan yawned and stretched: "I really don't want to go to the store. This day is perfect for sleeping."

Lu Sheng: "You said the same thing when it rained."

"There is no weather that is not suitable for sleeping." Lu Yan said: "Spring is tired, autumn is sleepy, summer is sleepy, and winter is March when you can't wake up."

There is light snow in Yaoshan County, and the snow gets heavier as you go west. Zhang Chang and his party had been sleeping and dining in the wilderness for more than a day. It was supposed to take another three to five days to reach the next village, but the snow became heavier and heavier.

"No, if we continue like this, the horse will freeze." The guard said, "We have to find a place to hide."

"Where are we going?" The escorts looked sad: "You can't find a place in front of you or a shop behind you."

Zhang Chang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brothers, do you remember that there was a ruined temple on the road when we came here..."

Several people's eyes lit up, and the escort leader made a quick decision: "Go back! Hide in the temple."

Several people turned back and walked for a long time before finally returning to the original ruined temple.

There was already another group of people in the ruined temple. They looked like a team. In the middle were an old man who looked like a butler and a young master. They were surrounded by four young men, occupying a corner of the hall.

Zhang Chang and his entourage didn't care. They consciously occupied another corner of the hall and placed the horses and goods. The bodyguards all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, there is a place to block it, so the horse won't freeze." The escort leader breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Chang joked: "In Brother Yang's eyes, horses are more valuable than people."

Yang Biao didn't even refute, he laughed and said: "Gold is not valuable, what we pay attention to is fairness. If you get cold, let the horse pull you. If the horse gets cold, just pull the horse."

Zhang Chang immediately gave up and said, "Then horses are indeed valuable, and I am not worthy to compete with them."

Several people laughed, and even the young master on the other side couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

It was already afternoon. The group had not eaten all day. After walking all the way, they finally stopped and felt hungry.

"I'm so hungry." Zhang Chang said, "Brother Yang, let's eat."

Biaotou Yang nodded: "It's really time to eat something."

The escorts responded to every call.

"It's warm!"

“The snow is so thick outside, we don’t have to fetch water!”

"Hey, that's great! Cook noodles, cook noodles!"

There were not many escorts this time. One escort leader led four escorts, plus Zhang Chang who joined in the fun, there were only six people in total. Everyone cleaned up and found some useless hay in the main hall, piled them together, lit them with flints, and put the pots on the racks. The people who went outside to make snow also came back. The water bucket was filled with pure white snow, and it was poured into the pot.

With the fire, the temperature of the entire hall increased. The snow also slowly melted in the pot, then gradually boiled, and bubbles bubbled up.

"The water is boiling, the water is boiling!" Zhang Chang cheered: "This pot can cook three pieces of noodles. Is it enough to pour a bag of flour?"

"Try it!" The escorts were eager to give it a try. They picked up a bag of powder, tore it open and poured it in. They also scooped two tablespoons of meat sauce into the pot and put three pieces of noodles in it. Zhang Chang felt that this was not enough, so he cut a few more slices of sausage into it.

The pot of noodles was cooked in a short time, and the noodles were simmering up and down, and the rich aroma filled the whole palace.

The young men and women ate a lot. They divided the three pieces of noodles into two bowls and handed them to Yang Biaotou and Zhang Chang respectively. Zhang Chang took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, it tastes just right!"

Several people rushed out to make snow and boil water to cook noodles again.

Zhang Chang was so hungry that he wolfed down the noodles and had to pick them up to drink the soup after two bites. The hot soup went down his throat, dispelling the chill all over his body.

Several people here were eating and cooking, and the hall was filled with this rich fragrance for half an hour. It could also be smelled clearly in the other corner of the hall.

The scent was like a hook, and the young master, who had also not eaten anything serious all day, had his stomach growling. The young master rubbed his belly, swallowed dryly, and said nothing.

The old housekeeper noticed the young master's embarrassment and smiled bitterly. They are not particular about it. Dry biscuits mixed with hot water can fill their stomachs, but the young master can't eat it, so he occasionally takes a few bites of the snacks he brought.

"Master, are you hungry? Have some snacks." The butler took out the snacks and handed them to the young master.

The young master took the snack and stuffed it into his mouth. It felt sweet, greasy, and dry. He choked and had to rely on hot water to drink it down. He wanted to eat something salty and soft, like the hot noodle soup they eat...

But there is no other way. The people who meet by chance are embarrassed to ask for it, so they can only endure it, hoping that the snow will stop tomorrow and they can move forward smoothly...

Zhang Chang was noisy for half an hour before finishing the meal. Everyone filled a water bag with hot water and removed the pot, but the fire was not extinguished.

After eating and resting for an hour, it was already dark outside. Zhang Chang followed his brothers in a set of punches and sweated all over. Then he sat down and prepared to rest.

"We'll sleep on the ground. You go to sleep in the carriage. It's warmer inside." Yang Biao patted Zhang Chang's shoulder.

The goods they were going to transport this time were placed in the carriage compartment. Letting him go up to sleep meant that he could watch the ordering of the goods. Moreover, he was the weakest among the few, so he didn't try to be brave. He nodded and jumped on. carriage.

The temple quickly became quiet. Everyone was tired after a long day and fell asleep soon.

When Zhang Chang woke up again, it was already dark. The snow outside is getting smaller and smaller, and it is gradually beginning to stop.

Zhang Chang jumped down from the carriage and asked the escort: "Shall we go?"

Yang Biao looked at the sky with his hands behind his back. He was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I feel like the snow has not stopped falling."

Several escorts looked at each other, and Zhang Chang said: "Then let's not leave yet. Wait a moment and make sure everything is over before we leave."

Several people agreed with this plan.

But the other side does go. They watched the snow gradually stop, and quickly packed up and prepared to catch up while the snow stopped. As they left, they nodded to each other.

Several bodyguards saw that the snow had stopped. Since they were not ready to leave, they all picked up their weapons: "Let's go hunting. There is a forest not far away."

"If you can't kill the animals, you can chop some firewood back." The bodyguards said.

Zhang Chang was very interested and wanted to follow, but Yang Biaohead pressed his shoulder.

"You go ahead, we'll wait here for you to come back." Finally, the three bodyguards entered the forest, while Bodyguard Yang, Zhang Chang and another bodyguard stayed in the temple.
