With the idea of ​​taking Erbao on a trip, Lin Xi and Shen Chen slowed down their journey.

If they encounter any interesting places on the way, the two of them will stop and take Erbao to play. They also try to stay at the inn at night rather than sleeping in the wilderness.

If they pass through any towns or counties, they will also stop and stay for one night and have a good meal before leaving.

At the same time, they will also write letters and send them back to Haixian County, telling Dabao some of their itinerary and experiences.

Before I knew it, it was late November.

Lin Xi's family of three finally entered the Jiangyou territory.

Lin Xi asked Shen Chen and learned that the Yang family was in the main city of Jiangyou, but Yang Shizhong had recently visited the counties east of Jiangyou for inspection.

In view of this, Master Chen had already written a letter to Yang Shizhong. Yang Shizhong knew that they were coming to see him, so he stayed in the county for a few more days to wait for them.

Lin Xi and Shen Chen also took Erbao to the county and arrived on the 23rd.

"The county is ten miles ahead. We can get there before dark." Shen Chen, who was driving the carriage, raised the curtain and told Lin Xi and Erbao.

The weather was getting colder, and there was a charcoal fire burning in the carriage. Lin Xi and Erbao also held the hand stove to keep warm.

Fortunately, they had prepared enough cotton-padded clothes before setting off, so the journey in winter was not difficult.

Lin Xi heard Shen Chen's words and said, "Hurry up, get to the county as soon as possible, and settle down as soon as possible."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Xi felt that the wind was a bit strong. When Shen Chen raised the car curtains, the air-conditioning outside was whistling.

She couldn't help but said: "Shen Chen, let me switch with you. You come in and warm yourself up while I go out to catch the car."

How could Shen Chen let Lin Xi drive the car and said, "I'm not cold, just stay inside with Erbao." After saying that, he lowered the car curtain.

Erbao found a thick blanket and took it out: "Dad, please use this to cover your legs."

Shen Chen hummed, touched his head and asked him to sit back.

Lin Xi praised Erbao. Seeing that Erbao still wanted to read, he simply found the chessboard he bought in another county and township the day before yesterday.

"Er Bao, the light in the car is dark and reading is not good for your eyes. Come and play chess with me."

"OK."

Erbao put down his book happily and walked over.

When buying the chessboard, it turned out that Erbao had heard that Shen Chen had excellent chess skills and pestered Shen Chen to teach him.

But Erbao was not good at it after all. When he played chess with Shen Chen, even if Shen Chen let him, he was so shocked that he refused to play with Shen Chen after a long time.

Lin Xi knew how to play Go, but he was only scratching the surface. He was equally matched with Er Bao.

The second child feels that he has a much greater sense of accomplishment than his father.

When we arrived at the county, the third round had not yet been played.

Seeing that he was about to lose, Lin Xi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, now that we've reached the place, we won't get down."

Erbao said: "Mom, I'm about to win."

"Oh, victory or defeat is just a cloud. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it." Lin Xi put the chess pieces into a ball.

Erbao had no choice but to clean up. After finishing, they had already entered the county.

Shen Chen said outside: "Find an inn to stay in first. After settling in, I will go find Yang Shizhong."

Lin Xi and Erbao's wife curiously opened the curtain to take a look.

It snowed very early on the Jiangyou side. It had already snowed in the counties and counties, so it was all white.

There were very few vendors and people on the streets, and most people were walking in a hurry, which seemed a bit desolate.

They finally arrived at an inn that seemed to be in good condition. Shen Chen found a place to stop the carriage, then helped Lin Xi and Erbao down, and the three of them entered the inn together.

It was very warm inside, and Lin Xi felt comfortable all over.

There were not many guests in the lobby on the first floor and it was quiet.

A waiter noticed them and came over to ask them whether they should stay in the restaurant or stay in the hotel.

"Stay in the hotel and get a private room with a bigger bed, big enough for our family of three," Lin Xi said.

She and Shen Chen decided to share a room together. If Er Bao was worried about letting Erbao sleep in one room by himself, it would be better to stay together.

The clerk sighed and told the people behind the counter to take them up after receiving the keys.

It was even quieter on the second floor. Erbao couldn't help but ask: "It's quite quiet here. Don't you have many guests?"

The waiter's expression was slightly dull, and he smiled warmly: "Look at what the young master said, of course we have a lot of guests here, but...most of them have gone out and haven't come back yet."

Lin Xi looked around and saw that the decoration here was quite stylish.

They went up the stairs and walked left along the corridor.

When passing a room with a closed door, Shen Chen suddenly paused and looked at the door.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked.

The waiter said hurriedly: "This room has already been booked. Guest, the room for the three of you is in front."

Shen Chen withdrew his gaze, shook his head towards Lin Xi, and said nothing.

The man continued to lead them forward to their room and pushed the door open.

Lin Xi saw that it was clean and tidy inside, and was quite satisfied, and said: "Please boil some hot water, we want to wash our faces and soak our feet. There is also dinner, two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one soup, just follow the special dishes of your inn. By the way, our carriage is still outside. Could you please find a place to park at your inn and feed our horses some food?"

When the waiter heard this, he almost burst into laughter, and he hurriedly accepted the reward and left.

Shen Chen put down his luggage and checked around.

Erbao followed him curiously, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Shen Chen said: "When you go out and go to a strange place, you have to check whether the place is safe and whether there are any hidden dangers."

Erbao nodded: "I remember."

Lin Xi made the bed, took out the snacks he brought and put them on the table, and asked them to sit down: "Come here and eat something to cushion your stomach."

The waiter was very considerate and came back quickly to serve them hot tea. They ate something after hot tea, and dinner arrived.

After dinner, the waiter just brought up the hot water.

After a long day's journey, the three of them washed up and went to bed to get ready for bed.

Erbao lay in the innermost place, Lin Xi slept in the middle, and Shen Chen slept outside.

However, just as they lay down, a sharp scream suddenly sounded outside. It was so shrill that Lin Xi's sleepiness instantly disappeared.

"What noise?!"

Erbao was also startled, "What's wrong?"

Shen Chen frowned slightly and said, "You guys go to bed first, I'll go out and take a look."

He got up and quickly put on his clothes and walked to the door.

The moment he opened the door, Lin Xi seemed to see many people appearing in the corridor outside. They all walked to the right, and noisy people were also heard.

Erbao said: "Mom, something big seems to have happened outside."

Lin Xi was a little worried when she saw Shen Chen closing the door and heading to the right, "Well, Erbao, you just wait in the room, and I'll go take a look."

Erbao took Lin Xi's hand: "Mom, I'll go with you. I'm a little scared to stay here by myself."

Lin Xi thought about it, so she didn't refuse. She and Erbao quickly put on their clothes and went out. When they came, they saw a dozen people gathered in the corridor, one man and one woman.

Their voices were so noisy that Lin Xi could only vaguely hear something—
