Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight
Chapter 37 Reason
Passing by the market, Yu Xin stopped the car and bought six soft cotton cushions, giving one to each person. This time I felt much more comfortable sitting on them, feeling that my thighs and buttocks would not suffer today, and happily lifted a corner of the curtain to enjoy the scenery.
Yu Xin was driving the carriage in front. He looked back after hearing the noise and whispered, "Don't be afraid, young lady. The group of people didn't catch up with us. I guess we will have a quiet journey from now on."
I said, "Oh?" Di Qi asked, "What do you mean?"
Yu Xin replied, "I heard some rustling noises outside the window last night, so I just followed them and got drunk on their incense. I guess they came here to gather information, and when they saw that there was nothing suspicious about our identities and we didn't have much money, they would naturally leave. If they followed us to Wanfeng Manor, it would be a detour and would necessarily delay us. They are eyeing the Tushan family's fortunes, so naturally they would not want to linger with a few skinny sheep like us."
I asked, "How do you know they are here to gather information?"
Yu Xin added, "To be honest, young lady, the Tushan family's carriages and horses set out two days earlier than us. Because the Tushan family said they wanted to thank the Chishui family for their friendship for generations, and Master Fenglong also donated money and people to help the Tushan family hold the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, the Tushan family is naturally grateful. Taking advantage of the fact that the merchants have presented many treasures, they also added precious treasures to give away, so there must be a lot of thieves who are eager to try behind them. After dinner, I went to the tavern for a walk and spent some money to treat the miscellaneous guests in the restaurant to drinks. I heard from them that there have been many new faces in this town recently, and that the guests staying in the restaurant and hotel have lost things. There are two strange things. One is that no one noticed it during sleep, and they found that their bags were turned over when they woke up the next night. The other is that although the lost items are valuable, they often leave the most valuable jewelry to others, and only take some silver bills and medicinal materials, and they can still leave some accommodation fees and travel expenses."
Sen Ying was surprised and said, "When I was packing my bag, the medicine inside disappeared. It was bought specially from the north by Aunt Zhao..."
Yu Xin took over her words: "That's it, girl, think about it, this group of people say they are chivalrous thieves, and they steal without distinguishing between good and bad people, and they use such despicable means as aphrodisiac incense. You say they are pure thieves, but they left the most valuable things for you. So I simply ignore them and let them go, and see what they are up to!"
Sen Ying asked, "Then do you know what they are up to? What kind of information are they trying to find out?"
Yu Xin laughed dryly twice: "Well... I only tasted that their incense is top-grade, colorless and odorless, and it makes me faint. By the time I realized it, I was already feeling a little dizzy and weak. As for the rest... I need to wait and see~"
Sen Ying pursed her lips: "I can see that you fell down as soon as you were touched, and then fell into a deep sleep. I didn't notice anything!"
Tu Shanjing suddenly said, "They are investigating and demonstrating at the same time."
Everyone in the car looked at him, and he continued, "If you encounter a suspicious team, check it out. If they are fellow travelers, then show them your power and make them retreat. If they are not fellow travelers, then pick up some money and property to make up for the loss. Jewelry is valuable, and there are often relationships behind it. If it is taken away and reported to the authorities, the investigation will intensify, which will only add obstacles. So don't take it. Most people go out to spend money to avoid disaster. If they run out of medicinal materials, they can buy more. If they lose money, they can earn it again. If you force yourself to stand out and provoke the local tyrants, you will probably end up in trouble."
Sen Ying suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! You are worthy of being a young master, you have actually understood the mystery! It's the same as spending a night, but some people just sleep soundly!" After saying that, she nodded at Yu Xin outside the car door.
Tu Shanjing's face was calm, and he said, "It's not that I guessed it, it's just that I went to their camp last night to find the traces."
Xiao Wei asked curiously, "So why are you still awake in the middle of the night? Where did you come from?"
Tu Shanjing replied, "That's right. Last night I saw that they had set up a dozen tents in their camp casually, with some valuables and medicinal herbs piled up in the middle. There were peddlers' baskets and shoulder poles next to them. I guess they were going to sell the valuables they had obtained. Just as I was about to go forward to see what was going on, there was no sign of anyone in the middle of the camp, but an arrow shot out directly -"
I couldn't help but exclaim, and only then did I realize that I was so engrossed in what I was listening to, and was so concerned that I forgot that Tu Shanjing was sitting right next to me and was fine.
He smiled at me and continued, "I couldn't dodge in time and was shot in the waist. But the injury was not serious, and the arrow was not poisoned. It was just that the sound of the arrow breaking through the air alarmed the people in the largest tent. That man was very skilled in martial arts and kept chasing me. I tried to get rid of him, but I couldn't get rid of him. I could only keep a distance from him. Later, I took the opportunity to use the invisibility blanket, and he didn't insist on waiting, so I got away."
Sen Ying patted her chest and sighed, "That was a close call! Is your injury serious? When can I change the dressing for you?"
Tu Shanjing looked at her and replied, "Thank you very much, but I asked Sulan to help me apply the medicine yesterday. Let her do it from now on. She is familiar with it."
Moriwarb looked at me deeply and answered "yes".
At this moment, the small cloth package in my hand moved. I happily opened the handkerchief, but Senying screamed. Xiaohui was completely awake now, blinking his black eyes and looking at me. I quickly covered the handkerchief again and whispered, "Xiaohui, your sister Senying is scared, please change back to human form."
A ball of light appeared in his hand, and Xiao Hui landed and turned back into the shy little boy. He bowed to Senying and said, "Miss Senying, I apologize for the offense."
Sen Ying turned her eyes away from him and said to me across him, "Don't want that handkerchief of yours anymore?!"
Xiao Hui's face darkened and he froze there, feeling a little overwhelmed.
I hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Hey, Xiao Hui, you slept so well that you missed a lot of stories! You always love to listen to my adventure stories, and now you have become a character in the story!"
Xiao Hui looked at me curiously: "What happened? I only knew that I didn't sleep much at night, but who knew I would open my eyes at this time?!"
I pulled him over and sat beside me. "That's it! There must be something fishy going on when things go wrong! I'll tell you the reason slowly tonight. You've been sleeping for a long time, so it's nothing now. Your brothers, sisters, uncles and sisters are so bored after a long journey, and they can't wait to listen to my new stories to relieve their boredom!"
Xiao Wei clapped her hands and laughed, "Great, great! I want to listen to the Liao Zhai series today! It's very exciting!"
