The days away from home are not very comfortable, especially for Lin Shiyin who was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child. First of all, the food is far less refined than when she was at home. There are a group of servants to serve the food and clothing.

After all, Yan Xiubai is different from her. She has to do many things in person. This is hard work that she has never experienced before. In just a few days of horseback riding, her inner thighs are red and peeling, and she is in burning pain every day. , but she insisted on holding on, and no one said anything.

This was the end of the matter, the path she had chosen, and from the moment she left before the wedding, there was no turning back.

Although it was hard work, along the way, she did see a lot of things she had never seen before. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, is this how her cousin's world is?New things, different scenery, walking from one town to another, what you see and hear is much more lively than the unchanging Li Garden.

In the past, she always wanted him to stay with her in Li Yuan. Now that she thinks about it, Li Yuan is like an exquisite and beautiful cage. How could a free bird be willing to give up the blue sky and lock herself in the cage voluntarily? !

She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that until now, she was still thinking about Li Xunhuan.

Just when she was enduring the pain and thinking about this mess, a ball of reins was suddenly stuffed in her hand. When she looked up, she saw a young man with gentle brows smiling at her and saying, "There is a tea room in front, you take the lead." Horses go first, I have something to do, come as soon as you go.”

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly and left, leaving Lin Shiyin with a slender back.

The teahouse is not far away, just around the corner. A simple canvas with the word tea in capital letters is swaying in the wind.

Lin Shiyin led the horse and walked over there, but before taking a few steps, she was hit by a strong force from behind.

She was unsteady on her footing and almost fell, but instinctively twisted her body and took off most of her strength.

The one who bumped into her was a child, about seven or eight years old, with delicate features and bright eyes, but his body was a bit dirty, Lin Shiyin didn't dislike her, but it was a little strange, the child's expression was originally nervous and joyful, but The moment she turned around to see her face clearly, there was another undisguised disappointment.

Is this a mistake?

Lin Shiyin didn't really care about it, she just helped him stabilize and said, "Be careful."

The child pursed his lips in embarrassment, and before he could say anything, he heard an unkind voice in the thick mine, "Little brat, if you run around, be careful and I'll break your leg!"

As he said that, the boy's delicate arm was roughly pulled back from Lin Shiyin's hands by the man who drove over.

"Take it easy, you hurt him." Lin Shiyin frowned.

The man is tall and strong, and there is a brown scar on his right cheek. He doesn't have a good face at first glance. He originally wanted to swear, but all the cursing disappeared in an instant when he saw Lin Shiyin clearly, and his eyes lit up , and another companion looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

The child at the side saw the expressions of the two of them. He glanced at Lin Shiyin who was standing beside him. Although he was dressed like a man, he did not conceal his beauty. He suddenly became anxious. He opened his mouth, wanting to tell her to leave quickly. But no sound came out, only a meaningless sound!

The feminine instinct made her feel that something was wrong, but for a while she couldn't figure out what was wrong. Lin Shiyin didn't like the way those two people stared at her. No one had ever dared to look at her so disrespectfully. She frowned and pulled The horse is about to leave.

But before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by the tall accomplice, who leaned over very quickly, and then, a cold and sharp thing pressed against her waist.

Lin Shiyin gasped, but fortunately she was a little more courageous than ordinary girls in the boudoir, so she kept calm anyway.

The knife at the waist moved, and the tall man lowered his voice and threatened: "Don't move, don't make a sound, otherwise I can't guarantee that you won't have a hole in your body!"

As he said that, he grabbed the rein in Lin Shiyin's hand and dragged her into a secluded alley.

It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a situation, and it was impossible to say that he was not afraid. Lin Shiyin broke out in a cold sweat, and desperately hoped that Yan Xiubai would come back quickly.

A sweaty hand held her, Lin Shiyin lowered his head, and met the child's slightly apologetic eyes. He was also annoyed. He originally wanted to find someone for help, but he didn't expect that the other party was a woman in men's clothes. The one who saw her face clearly For a moment, his heart turned cold. Sure enough, not only was he not saved in the end, but he also hurt a good girl. He felt very guilty.

Yan Xiubai came back at this time, and his appearance not only made Lin Shiyin overjoyed, but even the child's eyes lit up instantly.

"Mr. Yan!" Lin Shiyin shouted eagerly, this address made the two kidnappers know that something was wrong.

The tall kidnapper's reaction couldn't be said to be unpleasant, but when he stretched out his hand and was about to make a move, he heard a jingle sound, his wrist hurt, and then he was thrown flying out.

Yan Xiubai's movements were so fast that Lin Shiyin couldn't see his movements clearly, and she didn't have time to look at them. The child in her hand was pulled away by a force. It was the scarred face, and she could almost feel it. The ferocious malice emanating from the other party.

She didn't have time to think about anything, but subconsciously raised her hand, and then a small, palm-length throwing knife was already stuck in the opponent's chest.

Lin Shiyin ran over and hugged the child tightly. The dazzling blood made her gasp. This was the first time in her life that she killed someone!

"Is he dead?" she asked, uneasy.

Yan Xiubai pulled out the flying knife, then tapped a few acupuncture points on the man's chest, and said calmly, "No, it deviated from the heart."

Lin Shiyin heaved a sigh of relief.

The situation here was immediately discovered by passers-by not far away, no one dared to go forward, and the timid ones avoided it far away and went to notify the government, which saved Yan Xiubai a lot of trouble.

Before the people from the government arrived, he walked up to the child, ignoring his shining eyes, and felt his pulse. Fortunately, it's just that the acupoints were sealed, so there was nothing serious about it.

He raised his hand to untie his acupoints, and gave him a massage. The child coughed, his voice was hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"It's you!" he said.

Lin Shiyin was surprised, "Do you know this child?"

Yan Xiubai nodded, "I've been with you for a while, what's the matter?" The latter sentence was addressed to that child.

The child twisted his neck, and said with some embarrassment: "I was separated from you for a few days, and I was followed by these two people."

"The relative you mentioned?"

"I can't find it."

A trouble, Yan Xiubai thought so. He knew it was a trouble when he picked up this kid who was being hunted down when he was in the capital. Afterwards, he led people south, thinking that he had avoided this trouble. Thinking of turning around and meeting again.

The child is very sensitive, and he quickly noticed the slight dislike. He took a step back and locked himself in Lin Shiyin's arms as if seeking shelter.

Lin Shiyin looked at him with pity, and said, "Then do you have any other relatives?"

"No more." The child's voice was a little aggrieved.

Therefore, Lin Shiyin looked at Yan Xiubai.

Yan Xiubai suddenly had a headache.

The official came very quickly, and Yan Xiubai followed him to the county office. After he took out his identity certificate and the handwriting that he was about to take office, the matter was settled quickly, and the rest was the matter of the local county magistrate. It has nothing to do with him.

When they went on the road again, the two people turned into three people, and their traveling tools changed from horses to carriages. For this, Yan Xiubai received a grateful smile from Lin Shiyin.

The child's name is Ji Tang, who is less than eight years old this year. After washing, his features are delicate and good-looking, and his words and deeds are polite and well-educated, obviously he is a child from a wealthy family.

Lin Shiyin liked him very much. Such a handsome, cute, polite and not fussy child brought out her latent motherhood. Along the way, the smiles on her face obviously increased a lot.

Looking at it, Yan Xiubai suddenly felt that this might be a good thing, at least it made her start to slowly get out of the pile of sad things before.

The three of them walked for nearly a month before finally arriving at their destination.

Before coming here, Yan Xiubai still thought about what kind of place he would be in. He knew it was a poor county, but he really didn't expect it to be so poor.

It is said to be a county, but it is more like a larger village. Along the way, poverty!poverty!Still poor! !

Ji Tang said in disbelief: "This is where you want to take office? Are you sure you are a high-ranking official?"

"Do you want to read my handwriting?!" The plain blue sleeves shook, and Yan Xiubai pushed the opponent's little head back into the carriage with one hand.

Their carriage is very ordinary and inconspicuous, but the horse pulling the carriage is a rare horse, which still attracted the attention of many people, and then the carriage stopped under the gaze of some people. In front of the county government office.

The movement outside quickly disturbed the inside, and after a while, an old man came out of the door, his face was full of wrinkles, and although he was neatly dressed in a light blue official uniform, he couldn't ignore the several pieces stamped on it. patch.

There was undisguised surprise on the man's face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Xiubai standing in front of the car, and then yelled to the surroundings: "Go! Go and do whatever you want, all around here What are you doing, want to eat in prison?!"

This person seemed easy-going, and everyone was not afraid of him, but someone laughed, "Come on, old Chen, can the county government afford prison food?!"

Old Chen was a little embarrassed, so he simply looked at Yan Xiubai again, and said, "You don't look like you are from this county, what are you doing here? The report will not be accepted for the time being, and you can come back tomorrow."

Yan Xiubai smiled slightly, handed over the handwriting, and said, "My surname is Yan. Yan Xiubai is the newly appointed magistrate of Chensheng County."

A silence.

Old Chen opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, and finally shouted to the left and right: "Go! Hurry up and call Catcher Zhao back! Say the new county magistrate is here!!"
