Chapter 145 Figure it out
Early in the morning, all the goods were loaded onto the ox carts. Qin Huiyin was about to lead everyone to set off when she heard the sound of horse hooves at the gate.
Puzzled, she opened the gate and saw Song Ruize standing there with his horse. Upon seeing her come out, he said, "I'm going into the city too."
"I know, you have to go back to do something!" Qin Huiyin said as a matter of course.
"On the way." Song Ruize said calmly, "Do you want to take a carriage?"
Qin Huiyin covered her mouth and smiled, trying hard to control her expression so as not to make him angry.
"Then I'll call the others?"
"Ah."
Qin Huiyin walked in, hugged Li Taohua's arm and said, "Mom, Brother Ruize is outside. He said he's going into the city too. How about we take his carriage?"
Li Taohua yawned, "Sure, the carriage doesn't need any wind. I've been having a migraine for the past few days."
Tang Luwu certainly wouldn't refuse, but Tang Yixiao looked unhappy. When Qin Huiyin looked over, he said reluctantly, "I don't want to spoil your fun."
"Third Grandpa, I'll stay with you." Qin Huiyin said.
"No, no, no." Mr. Tang San waved his hand. "That guy came here just for you. If you were to accompany an old man like me, he would think you didn't want to ride in his car."
"Thank you for your hard work, Third Uncle. When I come back later, I will drive the ox cart so you can have a rest." Qin Huiyin said.
"Driving an oxcart doesn't take much effort, so what's so hard about it? If it weren't for you, the little money I make from driving the oxcart every month would only be enough to buy corn buns."
The courtyard gate opened, and Qin Huiyin let Li Taohua get in the car first, followed by Tang Luwu and her brother, and she finally sat next to Song Ruize.
"It's windy here and it's warmer inside," said Song Ruize.
"I know!" Qin Huiyin stuffed a large pancake into his hand and opened the bamboo bucket, letting out the rich aroma of sweet corn soup. "I want to accompany you."
Song Ruize was holding a scone.
"Eat it, it's not poisoned." Qin Huiyin joked, "Eat it and then continue on your journey."
Song Ruize took a bite and found the pancake was full of meat filling. It was a combination of pickles and minced meat.
Qin Huiyin pushed the bamboo bucket towards his mouth: "Drink some more corn soup."
In the carriage, Li Taohua found a comfortable position to lean back and slowly closed her eyes.
Tang Yi came over with a smile and said to her, "Mom, you don't care."
"Who cares?" Li Taohua said lazily, "Yinyin is so smart, no one can sell her out."
Tang Luwu's eyes were filled with worry: "He looks quite normal now. If he turns against us again one day, will Yinyin be hurt?"
"No." Li Taohua yawned. "If he dares to bully Yinyin, he won't be greeted with hot pancakes and corn soup, but a gleaming silver dagger. My girl won't suffer any loss."
After Song Ruize finished his pancakes and corn soup, he poured out the clean water he had prepared and washed his hands. He wiped the water stains on his hands with a handkerchief, then dug out the cloth bag next to him, took out the clothes from the bag and put them on her.
"Sit down."
"Third Uncle, we're leaving first." Qin Huiyin shouted to Third Uncle Tang who was driving the ox cart.
"Let's go and wait for me at the city gate." Mr. Tang San responded loudly.
Qin Huiyin and others were sitting in the carriage and did not notice that Mr. Tang Sanye's ox cart suddenly shook. Two figures, one big and one small, climbed onto the ox cart and hid in the pile of straw.
Originally, that seat was reserved for Li Taohua and the others. Now that they were in the carriage, this seat was empty, and the two of them were perfectly suited to hide inside. If Li Taohua and the others hadn't gotten on the carriage, the two of them wouldn't have had a chance to climb up.
The ox cart started moving, and Tang Baoyu lay on it, excitedly watching the village getting farther and farther away. In contrast to him was Li Erniu's reaction. Li Erniu's mind was now full of Li Taohua's words, and her eyes were full of resentment.
If Tang Jizu really found a woman in the city and had a child with another woman, she would kill the woman and the child with her own hands.
"Mom, what are these? They smell so good!" Tang Baoyu opened a jar and drooled.
"How dare you mess with their family?" Li Erniu's voice rang out coldly. "We came to the city to do something. If we mess with them, what do you think we can accomplish?"
"But I'm hungry." Tang Baoyu touched his stomach.
"Bear it."
"Are you still my mother now?" Tang Baoyu roared fiercely.
"Speak louder so the people in front can hear you." Li Erniu sneered, "and then kick us out of the car."
Tang Baoyu shut up.
He reluctantly put down the jar.
Li Erniu stared blankly at the sky. Even though it was still dark and starless, she lay on the straw, her eyes as dull as a puppet's.
The oxcart was much slower. Even if the horse-drawn carriage ahead of it was moving very slowly, the oxcart still couldn't catch up. Seeing that the carriage ahead had disappeared, Master Tang San was not in a hurry and continued to drive slowly.
When Qin Huiyin was woken up, she found herself back in the carriage. She asked in confusion, "Why am I here?"
"That guy carried you in here." Li Taohua pouted towards the outside. "Not long after we left the village, you got sleepy and fell asleep on his shoulder."
Qin Huiyin opened the curtain and looked outside. It was bright sky and there were many pedestrians on the path. Some were carrying vegetables, some were driving ox carts, some were carrying a basket of eggs, and some were carrying children on their backs.
She got out of the carriage and sat beside Song Ruize: "The city gate is in front, you can just leave us there, and we will wait for Third Master at the city gate. Anyway, it's not on the way after entering the city, so you don't have to go around in circles."
"it is good."
The carriage arrived at the city gate, and Song Ruize found a place to stop. Qin Huiyin was about to get off the carriage, but he stopped her.
"Wait until the bullock cart arrives before getting off."
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Don't rush."
Qin Huiyin sat down beside him: "Then I'll sit with you for a while."
"Don't want to sleep anymore?"
"Your carriage is too comfortable. The swaying makes you want to sleep. Now that you are almost asleep, you don't want to sleep anymore." Qin Huiyin looked up at the sky and pulled Song Ruize's arm. "Look, the first ray of sunlight has appeared."
Song Ruize looked in the direction she pointed.
The first ray of sunlight appeared, and the sky and the earth suddenly became colorful.
He had seen this scene countless times while hunting in the mountains, but he never knew it was such an interesting picture.
"Finally we caught up." Master Tang San arrived slowly in his oxcart. "Oxcarts are indeed inferior to horse carriages. I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long!"
When the ox cart stopped, two figures, one big and one small, jumped off the cart stealthily.
Li Taohua and the others emerged from the carriage. Seeing the two furtive figures, they recognized their identities. Interest flashed in Li Taohua's eyes.
"Mom, that's not..." Tang Yi reminded with a smile.
"Shh..." Li Taohua made a gesture to silence herself. "It doesn't matter. Let them take advantage of this. After all, they are useful."
