Chapter 575: Encountering a Thief on the Road
The next morning, Gu Yunxi got up at daybreak.
Xiao Cuihou was outside. Hearing the noise, she helped Gu Yunxi move the package onto the carriage.
The kitchen was brightly lit by candles. Mrs. Ying had gotten up early and was making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Young Madam, why are you here? The buns will be steamed soon. Please go to the dining room and wait for a while." Mrs. Ying said with a smile.
Gu Yunxi leaned over to take a look and said, "Sister Ying, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, Sister Ying waved her hands a little embarrassedly: "What are you talking about? This is what I should do!"
Gu Yunxi smiled and turned around to go to the dining room obediently. If she guessed correctly, the pot of steamed buns in the kitchen was specially made by Mrs. Ying for them to eat on the road.
Mrs. Ying is an excellent cook. She learned how to make buns from her mother-in-law once before, and she mastered it immediately. She can also apply what she has learned to other situations. Now at home, she has even created several new bun fillings.
Each one of them tastes so good! Everyone in the Lu family loves this taste!
After a while, Gu Yunle also came over, yawning repeatedly.
"Sister, you got up earlier than me?" Gu Yunle originally thought that she got up early, but she didn't expect that Gu Yunxi got up earlier than her.
Gu Yunxi smiled and asked her to sit down: "Sit down first, Sister Ying will prepare breakfast soon."
As soon as Gu Yunxi finished speaking, Mrs. Ying brought two bowls of porridge and some buns.
"Young Madam, Miss Yunle, we are a bit pressed for time this morning and can only make these. You guys just have to eat something small." Mrs. Ying felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, there were at least six items for breakfast at home, but today there were only two, and she felt bad about it.
However, Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Sister Ying, what are you talking about? If you hadn't gotten up early to make breakfast for us, I would have to do it myself."
"You know, with my cooking skills... Yunle probably wouldn't like the breakfast I make."
Sister Ying burst out laughing, and Gu Yunle said angrily, "Sister!"
Although she had eaten a lot of delicious food with her sister's family, she would never waste food just because it didn't taste good.
When Gu Yunxi said this, it seemed like she was very picky about food.
Seeing Gu Yunle looking at her angrily, Gu Yunxi quickly changed her words: "Okay, okay, it was my sister who said the wrong thing."
"Eat quickly. After we finish eating, we can leave early and get back earlier."
Gu Yunle then grabbed the big meat bun and started eating. After a while, they both finished eating, took the buns prepared by Mrs. Ying, and walked out.
At this time, the sky was already turning white and Lu Jianchuan got up.
Lu Jianchuan stood at the gate of the yard, watching Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle get on the carriage, his eyes full of reluctance.
There is nothing I can do about my wife wanting to go home. I am too busy with work, otherwise I could really take a leave to accompany her back.
The carriage that Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle were riding in was driven by the secret guard Shuang Qiu.
Along the way, the secret guard Shuang Qiu drove the carriage very fast, but also very steadily, without any shaking, and Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle did not get carsick.
The carriage kept going, and at noon, it passed a teahouse. The few people had a simple meal in the teahouse, took a short rest, replenished food and grass for the horses, and then continued on their journey.
It was almost nightfall and they had already walked more than half of the way. They found a relatively large inn in a small town and stayed there.
At night, Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle shared a room, and the secret guard was next door.
Gu Yunle rubbed his sore butt and said, "Oh, sister, I didn't expect riding in a carriage to be so tiring. My butt is so sore."
Gu Yunxi was soaking her feet in hot water. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "You've been sitting for too long. This is what's happening. Soak your feet in hot water later, and it will help."
"Just wait until tomorrow when you get home."
The journey was arduous and even Gu Yunxi herself could hardly bear it, but if she went back early, she could also return to the capital earlier, so she didn't want to waste time on the road and wanted to get home as early as possible.
The two sisters talked for a while, soaked their feet, and fell into a deep sleep.
At night, two thieves tried to sneak into Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle's room. However, just as they approached the window, they were knocked unconscious by a knife from behind.
Early the next morning, the two little thieves were tied up and thrown at the door of Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle.
The inn's accountant got up early and was passing by. He heard the two little thieves whimpering. He walked over to take a look and immediately started screaming.
"There's a thief, a thief..."
For a moment, the inn was in an uproar. Many guests were woken up and opened the door to come out to watch the fun.
The innkeeper also hurried over and saw the little thief, who was dressed in black with only a pair of eyes showing, struggling even harder.
The shopkeeper was furious and immediately stepped forward and tore off the black cloth covering the thief's mouth and nose.
"Hiss! Aren't these Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Xiangzi from our inn? You, you are actually thieves?" the inn's accountant exclaimed.
Aren’t these two little thieves the servants of their inn?
They only came to work at the inn last month. They looked honest and decent, but I didn't expect that they would have such evil intentions!
In the room, Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle heard the noise, dressed neatly, and walked out.
With just one glance, Gu Yunxi immediately realized what was happening. It turned out that these two little thieves were targeting them.
"Boss, doesn't this give us a reasonable explanation?" Gu Yunxi said coldly.
When they returned to their hometown this time, they were actually very low-key. Their clothes were ordinary and inconspicuous, and their carriage was also low-key and ordinary.
I really don’t know why this thief wanted to steal their things?
Oh, right, maybe they thought they were just two weak women? Gu Yunxi felt that this was the only explanation.
The innkeeper's face darkened. He kicked the two thieves fiercely and cursed, "You blind bastards, you are so bold that you dare to be thieves!"
"Fengcai, take them to the authorities!"
The innkeeper gave loud orders, and soon, the steward named Fengcai took the two thieves away.
The innkeeper smiled and said to Gu Yunxi, "Madam, it is because of our poor management of the inn that these two newcomers have evil intentions. I have already had them sent to the authorities. I will not tolerate them."
"We are really sorry for causing harm to you, madam. So, madam, your food and accommodation in our inn will be free of charge. Do you think this is okay?"
Seeing that the innkeeper was respectful and decisive in his actions, Gu Yunxi nodded slightly.
"If it's free, then don't do that. You should strengthen management. Otherwise, we may be the ones who are robbed now, and it may be others in the future."
After saying that, Gu Yunxi returned to the house, packed up his things, and walked out with the package on his back.
The innkeeper felt really bad and added a few more snacks to their breakfast.
After breakfast, the group did not stop and continued to rush towards Xijiang Village...
