"Are you sure?" Fang Zhenshan looked a little solemn, "It takes more than ten days to travel from Ningyang County to the capital. If there is any accident along the way, it will be difficult for so many of us to handle it."
"But it's not safe to stay in Yanghua Village. Since there are dangers everywhere, it's better for us to stay together as a family so as not to worry about each other." Shen Qingqing said.
"I agree with Qingqing's statement." Meng Yuan continued, "Besides, you and your godmother have acquaintances in the capital and are familiar with the situation in the palace. Maybe they can help us."
When Fang Zhenshan heard this, he no longer insisted, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In contrast, Mr. He was more open-minded. He rolled up his sleeves and said openly: "Are you sure when you are going to leave? If you are sure, I will pack my luggage and prepare dry food."
"Don't prepare dry food. Just take away the dried meat and fruits at home. If it's not enough, buy it on the road. You don't need to bring too much luggage. Each person packs two sets of clothes and two quilts. Again, what's missing on the road?
Buy anytime.”
Shen Qingqing arranged it neatly: "Start cleaning up now. Leave at any time after cleaning up. Don't give those people time to react."
The family started to get busy. After Shen Qingqing packed up her clothes, she went to Erbao and Sibao's rooms to clean up, but was stopped by Meng Yuan halfway.
"There is still meat and soup in the kitchen. Go and eat some. I didn't see you eating much last night. You need to fill your stomach before you can go on your way."
"Okay, I'm going to eat." Shen Qingqing reached out and hugged him, her heart gradually calmed down due to the sudden appearance of the man in black.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles she encounters, there are people who will fight alongside her, so what is there to be afraid of?
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Shen Qingqing went to the kitchen to heat up the uneaten meat and soup last night, ate some for herself, and then called He and the others to divide the rest.
Hongying and Old Man Hu were lying by the door watching them eating meat and drinking soup, sighing as they watched. Their worried and pitiful looks were a bit like small animals that were afraid of being abandoned by their owners.
Shen Qingqing filled two pieces of sauce meat and handed them to them, winking at Old Man Hu, "Where is your precious jade bowl?"
Old Man Hu shook his head, "I don't want to eat now. I'm in a bad mood and can't eat."
"There are still times when you can't eat anymore." Shen Qingqing smiled.
Old Man Hu grimaced, with a few more wrinkles on his face: "Are you really going to leave? Just leave so suddenly and inexplicably?"
Shen Qingqing nodded and said seriously, "Well, he left so suddenly and inexplicably."
"Sister, why don't I go with you." Hongying grabbed her sleeves, "As soon as you leave, the house will be empty. I'm a weak woman who doesn't feel safe if I stay here."
"Hey, you're the only weak woman. I didn't see any weakness in you when I hit someone with a rolling pin." Old Man Hu rolled his eyes at her, turned his head, and his face was filled with a smile, "Take me with you."
, I am an old man, and I am prone to accidents if I stay at home alone."
"You two, stop arguing." Shen Qingqing made a stop gesture, "Stay at home, one of you will take care of the noodle restaurant, and the other will take care of the mutton restaurant. We will come back when the matter in the capital is resolved.
"
"Then you have to keep your word." Old Man Hu straightened his body, which was not majestic. "Otherwise I will destroy your mutton restaurant, not only the mutton restaurant, but also the noodle restaurant."
Shen Qingqing held back a smile and waved her hand, "You eat, you eat... Also, when you see Yuan Xudong, remember to remind him that if he gets crazy enough, go get down to business and don't just eat and eat all day long."
"I know." Old Man Hu responded perfunctorily, turned around to leave with a murmur, but suddenly turned back after not taking two steps, took out the jade bowl and raised it in front of her, "Give me that meat, I won't do it today."
I don’t know when I can eat it again.”
Shen Qingqing chuckled. This old man, after all, was reluctant to part with delicious food.
She poured the sauced meat into Old Man Hu's bowl, then turned to look at Hongying, "I'll leave it to you in the village. If anyone asks, just say we went out for fun... If you encounter Zhaixing Pavilion or
People in the palace should run if they can, surrender if they can't, and don't fight forcefully."
"If that doesn't work, I'll put in some effort to rescue you from their hands."
Hongying puffed out her cheeks and hugged her with tears in her eyes, "Qingqing, how are you? Don't worry, I will protect myself well and wait for you to come back."
"So good." Shen Qingqing rubbed her face.
After the kitchen was cleaned up and the luggage was packed, in addition to food and clothing, Shen Qingqing also brought a small stove and matching pot for boiling hot water or cooking rice porridge.
In addition to the horse bought by Shen Qingqing, Fang Zhenshan also bought a horse at home, but there was only one carriage and another shabby carriage, which was barely usable.
Everyone moved their luggage to the carriage and covered it with tarpaulin. One person was left to drive the carriage, while the others all rode in the carriage. The space was too small. Even if Shen Qingqing wanted to grab a kid to be the driver, there would be no room to squeeze in.
The family hurriedly embarked on the road to Beijing.
The journey went smoothly in the first two days. Except for Meng Qixue, the other three children were traveling for the first time. They were quite excited. They could see the scenery along the way, chat and laugh without feeling tired.
Later on, I felt a little uncomfortable. Firstly, my butt felt sore and painful after sitting for too long. Secondly, my sleep time was too short, and my sleep was restless. It was so intense that my eyes could burst into flames.
.
And the most important point: the road was uneven and the car was too shaky. With a few people crowded in the car, it was bumping back and forth, just like a bag of instant noodles being turned over and over in someone's hand, squeezing and squeezing until it was all crushed into crumbs.
On the fourth day, Meng Qiyun couldn't hold it in anymore. He leaned half of his body on the window and sighed: "Mom, don't stop me, I'm going to jump."
Shen Qingqing looked at her, and then at Da Ju who was having fun outside the window. She felt like a mirror, "You are allowed to go out for a run, but you are not allowed to run far. If someone discovers you, I won't be able to save you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the three cubs all looked at her. As for the other one, he was concentrating on chewing the beef jerky.
Shen Qingqing had no choice but to say, "Let's all go and play near the carriage. Anyone who dares to disobey will write a review, an eight thousand word review."
"Got it!" Meng Qiyun answered resoundingly, kicked off her legs and jumped directly from the window. The tail of the big orange outside the window rolled up and placed her safely on her back.
Meng Qifeng and Meng Qixue behind them followed suit.
Shen Qingqing sighed after seeing it: "I just realized now that Daju is so good, good and smart, but he can't speak. Tsk, what a pity."
"Isn't it just like being a horse rider? You won't be like anyone else." Lazy Ball jumped out from behind her, "Come or not, I will hump you!"
"And you're the only one humping me, unlike a certain flirty cat who doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and whose moral character is extremely corrupt!" This chapter has been completed!
