Chapter Nineteen The Woman

Lin Chonghan also counted the days and replied: "It's only been a month. It takes so long to get from the capital to Jiangnan."

This is indeed true, but the horses Lin Shijing allocated to Qiu Sanji are all good horses, and the servants are also strong. According to his calculations, Qiu Sanji should arrive in Jiangnan in about 20 days, and then reply to the capital.

From the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, the Lin family has a special flying pigeon route to deliver letters.

I hope it was something that delayed me on the road in Qiu Sanji, rather than something happening to my eldest brother. Under the influence of alcohol, Lin Shijing allowed himself to fall into a deep sleep and no longer thought about it.

His intuition was correct, there were indeed many things happening in the autumn and third seasons.

"Help—! Mother Xipil!"

Why the hell are there bandits so close to Jiangnan! Qiu Sanji is just confused. Logically speaking, Jiangnan is the richest area and the people will not be forced to go to Liangshan. Why are there so many bandits?

He lay on the donkey cart in humiliation - when he was just escaping, he was accidentally shot in the buttocks by a bandit with an arrow, and now he could only lie on the donkey cart.

In the third season of Qiu, my eyes are filled with tears. It’s better to be a donkey! It can run fast at critical moments.

Fortunately, he kept the banknote certificate given by the princess close to his heart and was not snatched away by the bandits. All they robbed was some dry food. Although the food was useful, it was still not as important as the gold and silver.

Qiu Sanji happily thought that when we get to the Jiangnan area, there will be plenty of food, so just give it to us.

"Sir," there was also a doctor accompanying me, "the part you injured is not a vital part, but you still need to remove the arrow and apply medicine. Please bear with it for now."

"Okay! Just wait and see, doctor."

Qiu Sanji rolled up her sleeves, stuffed it into her mouth, and said as if she was about to die: "I'm ready——"

It was quite difficult to keep from laughing amidst the howls of a slaughtering pig, at least not even the servants accompanying him on the donkey cart could do it.

After taking care of the injury, Qiu Sanji sat up with a grin on his face. He glanced around the crowd and suddenly found that although everyone was disappointed, no one died.

Qiu Sanji met his subordinates' eyes, and the other party nodded solemnly: "Sir, these people should be ordinary people, not desperadoes who have experienced the world for a long time."

"This is bad..." Qiu Sanji murmured, "The people have been forced to become bandits. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to make this trip."

The donkey cart threw up billowing smoke, the snow on both sides of the road had melted, and the tall and towering city walls in the distance gradually came into view. Qiu Sanji leaned on the donkey cart, carefully identified the two characters, and found that they had arrived in Haozhou.

Gu Zhao started to have nightmares all night long again.

There are everyone in his dream, including the dead Yu Qing, shedding tears and accusing him of being cruel; there is also a woman who cannot see her face clearly, crying that she obviously saved him, but was killed by a gangster, while he held the gangster as a pearl.

Ten years; Lin Chonghan walked past him without looking back. In his dream, he wanted to call her out, but still couldn't say anything, and watched helplessly as she walked to his eldest brother.

He cried bitterly in his dream, and even knelt down in his dream, begging her to come back.

But he found to his despair that she still wouldn't come back.

Gu Zhao's day and night were completely reversed. He was awake in the middle of the night and dared not fall asleep. During the day, he was drowsy and had no energy at all. At first, he was unwilling to leave the house, and later he even refused to leave his own room.

The servants also avoided him because he had a bad temper and would often take it out on them.

That day, Gu Zhao stared at the burned out candles, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was covered with green stubble, he looked embarrassed and decadent.

"Second Master," a maid knocked on the door gently, "there is an...an old woman who says she is a distant relative of yours and wants to meet you."

He replied coldly: "What? Do you still want me to take care of the affairs in the backyard now?"

"Snapped!--"

Gu Zhao violently smashed a tea cup and shouted: "Get out!"

The maid was so frightened that she ran away crying.

The atmosphere in the front yard was also not good. Mrs. Qin was sitting next to Gu's father, spinning the beads in her hand.

"Now that Zhao'er is in this situation, can you tell me what to do?"

"What should I do?" Gu Shizhong was leaning on a cane with a serious look on his face, "He wants to straighten Yu Qing, but his family doesn't agree? Yu Qing's child is not his, what can we do?"

"Even the person who saved him was not Yu Qing. He is clearly being set up. What do you want us to do?"

Mrs. Qin simply couldn't understand this reckless man. She really felt that Gu Zhao had gone too far, but what she wanted to see him become like this was the last thing she wanted to see.

Gu Shizhong stretched out his crutch to stop him. He looked at his wife seriously and shook his head solemnly: "Don't go. He needs to live this relationship by himself."

At this time, the little maid wiped her tears and walked to the front yard. She came to the corner door and said angrily: "You'd better leave on your own! Our second master doesn't want to see you. He said that if you have anything to do, just go find the old lady."

"

The plainly dressed peasant woman in front of him was the one Lin Chonghan saw accidentally. She thanked the maid hurriedly and carefully gave her a few taels of silver with a smile.

"Excuse me, miss, please send me a message again and tell me that I have something urgent to do with the second young master."

The maid refused to accept the offer, and her face was full of resistance: "No, no, no. I'm going to pass the message to you this time, and I almost died. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

After the maid finished speaking, she ran away, leaving the peasant woman standing there with a troubled face, hesitating at the corner door not knowing what to do.

"Are you looking for me?"

Gu Zhao came to the corner gate at some unknown time. He looked at the kind-faced old man in front of him and was a little impatient: "I'm here now, you tell me."

The peasant woman didn't say anything. She looked at Gu Zhao deeply, looking up and down, looking at him carefully. Her strange eyes made Gu Zhao's scalp tingle.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
