This is also a habit she has developed over the years. The more dangerous the situation she faces, the calmer she becomes. Otherwise, she would not have enough energy to solve the crisis.
When she woke up, she was still awakened by a familiar dream. When she opened her eyes, she still hugged Lin Jinxiao tightly.
She mentally blamed herself for not being reserved while quietly climbing out of bed.
Only this time, as soon as she got up, Lin Jinxiao woke up.
Seeing that she was about to go out, Lin Jinxiao suddenly stopped her gently from behind: "Chu Nan Zhi."
Chu Nanzhi turned around and stared at him in astonishment. She saw that he was casually reaching for the crutches beside the bed, and then limped to the willow window. He took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice:
"They are all waiting for you to come back."
His speaking speed was as slow as his walking pace, and every word was heard very clearly.
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi responded softly, went over to open the door, and saw the quadruplets standing at the door together, with indescribable tenderness and reluctance in their clear and bright pupils.
The four little guys were surprisingly quiet today, just staring at her blankly and muttering to each other.
Chu Nanzhi silently pulled the little ones and slowly walked downstairs. The whole room was surrounded by the rich smell of meat, which made people salivate when they smelled it.
Following the aroma and walking into the kitchen, Chu Nanzhi saw Liu Yun taking out the steamed buns from the steaming steamer with a cloth bag.
Chu Wenbi sat sullenly in front of the stove, breaking firewood and lighting the fire. Although he did not approve of his daughter taking risks for the Wei brothers and sisters, he could not find a suitable reason to persuade her, so he could only remain silent.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the sky outside. It was just getting dark at this time. She didn't know when the couple got up, but they made breakfast without her noticing.
Liu Yun packed a large bag of buns, and while wrapping them, she urged: "I see that the carriage has been coming outside for a while, Da Zhi, please wash up quickly and go out. Eat the buns while they are hot, and save the steamed buns for everyone to fill if you are hungry on the way.
abdomen."
After saying that, he went to the side to get a water bag filled with water, put it together with the package, and continued to warn: "Nanhua Mountain is far away. If there is not enough water, save some."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi answered succinctly, but her eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of mist. Looking at the gradually hazy figure, she quickly turned her back to get water to wash herself.
The old mother packed up the large and small packages, making her feel like she was about to run away. She was moved but also wanted to laugh.
When everything was packed and ready to go, Chu Wenbi was still sitting in front of the stove, breaking firewood silently, while Liu Yun led the quadruplets out of the yard with her.
Seeing the figure that was about to disappear, Chu Wenbi finally couldn't sit still, grabbed the crutches and stood up quickly and shouted outside: "Da Zhi, if you encounter difficulties, don't show off."
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Nanzhi's eyes became sore. He squeezed the package in his hand tightly, forced a smile and replied: "Father, don't worry, I will pay attention to my sense of propriety."
Then he went over and prepared to get on the bus with Li Sanmu.
But the moment they boarded the carriage, the four little treasures chased after them in unison, each shouting:
"Auntie, come back early."
"Aniang, you must come back."
"Auntie, you must not come back."
"Grandma will come back immediately after finishing her work. You guys should be obedient and go in to eat steamed buns with grandma."
Chu Nanzhi held back tears and waved to the little ones while smiling warmly.
Worried that the little guys would make trouble again, he pushed Li Sanmu and hurriedly hid in the car.
As the coachman shouted, the wheels rolled slowly on the bumpy path. He watched a group of petite figures gradually become blurry in his sight, and then faint cries came from the yard. Chu Nan
Zhi suddenly felt a little scared in her heart.
For these little guys, I have to come back safe and sound no matter what.
In fact, what she dislikes the most is this kind of farewell, or even a more serious farewell.
As an Interpol police officer in her previous life, she repeatedly solved strange cases. Some people were grateful, while others hated people like them and gritted their teeth. Her father and mother were killed because of the malicious revenge of criminals.
For this reason, she was depressed for two full years before she recovered.
In this life, she still loves this profession. While continuing to pursue truth and faith, she only hopes that the family will not be implicated because of her in the future.
Therefore, this is also an important reason why she does not dare to have strong feelings for several babies.
After the carriage left Tong'an Village, the mountain road became even more rugged and difficult to navigate. The entire carriage was bumpy and bumpy. Xiaofen couldn't adapt to it and almost vomited on the carriage.
Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to tell the groom to slow down, and then took out some water for her to drink.
Xiaofen drank some water and her face gradually improved. Chu Nanzhi took out the buns from the cloth bag and prepared to pass them to everyone. Only then did she realize that these people had already had breakfast at the county government office.
Chu Nanzhi picked up the buns and ate two of them to herself, until she was full. She suddenly thought of some questions, looked at Xiaofen, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaofen, did you know that your mistress is in Nanhua?"
Who is the Taoist I met in the temple?"
Xiaofen thought for a while and immediately replied: "It is said that she is Princess Luo Chu's master, Taoist Master Tanhua. I have some impression that she was the mistress who was received by Taoist Master Tanhua on the day she entered the temple."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that your mistress has a close relationship with that Taoist priest?"
After hearing this, Xiaofen's eyes became cold and indifferent: "My mother-in-law's farewell was not good, but the matter of spending money has never been ambiguous. I heard from the old lady at home that in the past two years, she has only given away gifts.
The amount of silver given to Taoist Tanhua was over a thousand taels."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
Sure enough, the female envoy from the inner courtyard knew a lot. This woman donated money for incense to the temple and gave money to Taoist Tanhua. No wonder you can go to Nanhua Temple so casually and without hindrance.
After hearing this, Li Sanmu became even more worried, and said with deep worry: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be more difficult for us to go to the temple? I heard that the three eldest princesses in the temple are not easy to provoke, even though they are in Nanhua.
However, every year, people from the palace come to welcome them back to the palace, and there is still a personal army stationed at the foot of Beishan Mountain to protect the safety of the three eldest princesses."
Guan Erbai pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but speak out: "I don't know what happened in the capital that year, so that the father and daughter escaped into the Taoist gate together. Even Chang Lao and Nie Lao also
He resigned angrily and lived in seclusion in the countryside."
Not to mention the two government officials who were surprised by this kind of thing, even Chu Nanzhi, who was familiar with the history of various dynasties, was also shocked.
It is indeed rare to encounter such weird things.
But the secret history of the royal family is not something that lower-class people like them can explore.
Seeing the curious expressions of the two of them, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to remind him kindly: "Let's not talk about state affairs. Today we only need to go to the temple to find evidence, apprehend the real culprit, and vindicate the wronged person. This way, we will live up to our mission."
It would be better if she didn't mention this matter. As soon as she mentioned it, Li Sanmu and Guan Erbai frowned.
Li Sanmu asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, you asked the county magistrate to personally take the brothers to Nanhua to view, but we have to go around for dozens of miles and go through all this trouble. Could it be that my sister-in-law really has a clever plan?"
"That's natural, me."
Before Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, he suddenly heard the horse neighing and stopped suddenly, and the whole carriage shook violently.
Then, the eager voice of the groom came in: "Ms. Chu, the way ahead is blocked by rocks."
