A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

After Yan Shu and Feng Zhen'er separated, they went home to pack their things and prepare to meet up in the county town and set off tomorrow.

"Mom, where are we going? To a far away place?"

Yaya asked with an innocent expression.

"We are going to Kyoto. It is a big and prosperous place. There are many interesting things. Yaya must be obedient then."

Yaya was thoughtful and then replied sweetly: "I know, mother, I am obedient."

Yan Shu went to Kyoto with Feng Zhen'er this time not only to help her denounce the scumbag.

She also has some plans to travel and see if there is any suitable business in Kyoto. Just go and inspect the market.

It is the twelfth lunar month and the weather has become very cold.

When going out, in order to avoid being too conspicuous, Yan Shu and Yaya both wore plain cotton-padded jackets.

It takes two days to travel to Kyoto, and with the trip back to work and back, it will take at least six or seven days.

When Yan Shu and Yaya arrived at the gate of the county town, Feng Zhen'er's carriage was already waiting there.

Feng Zhen'er and her father Feng Changqing lied and asked Yan Shu to accompany her to Kyoto's Thanksgiving Temple to pray for blessings.

When Feng Changqing heard that Wen Yanshu was traveling with him, he felt relieved to let Feng Zhen'er travel.

Before Feng Zhen'er left, Feng's father specifically told her to go back to her grandfather Huo's house to pay her respects.

Listening to her father's nagging, Feng Zhen'er held back the tears in her eyes.

If I hadn't trusted my cousin Huo Guang's sweet words to offend me, I wouldn't be like this now.

On this trip, she only brought Ying'er, a coachman and some gift boxes.

She planned to visit the Huo family first to give gifts, find a chance to ask Huo Guang about it, and then go to the Thanksgiving Temple to pray.

She didn't have any thoughts to think about anything else before seeing Huo Guang.

After a brief greeting, Yan Shu and Yaya got into the carriage.

Ying'er and the driver sat on the saddle bench outside and drove forward slowly.

"Sister, I'm really bothering you this time, and I asked you to follow me through this muddy water."

Feng Zhen'er said apologetically to Yan Shu.

"It's okay, I'll just take Yaya out to play and take a walk."

Yan Shu comforted Feng Zhen'er.

The county seat is hundreds of miles away from Kyoto. If you drive in modern times, you can reach it in just a few hours.

However, in this era when transportation was not yet developed, a horse-drawn carriage was still fast in one or two days.

The scenery along the way is bleak.

Yan Shu couldn't help but think of a poem:

"Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's houses, the west wind and thin horses on the ancient roads, the setting sun, the heartbroken people are at the end of the world!"

"Sister, your poetry can be written so well. No wonder Mrs. Liu is so impressed by you!"

Feng Zhen'er said.

Yan Shu smiled and said, "This is a masterpiece by a talented man. I just borrowed it to suit the occasion."

Feng Zhen'er also read poetry and books, but she didn't know who wrote this poem.

"Sister is being modest, but this word is very appropriate to the situation. It is more in line with my current state of mind."

After Feng Zhener finished speaking, she leaned in a corner and was stunned.

Yan Shu knew that Feng Zhen'er was feeling lonely now.

Huo Guang's attitude has not yet become clear, and she still has a glimmer of hope.

But from Yan Shu's point of view, Feng Zhen'er was destined to leave Kyoto with sadness and disappointment.

As evening approached, they had arrived at Lotte Mansion.

Rakutenfu is the closest local institution to Kyoto.

According to the current progress, we will arrive in Kyoto at noon tomorrow.

Yan Shu, Feng Zhen'er and others stayed at a place called Shimen Inn in Lotte Mansion. Plan to rest for one night and set out early the next morning.

The store owner and the second child welcomed Yan Shu and Feng Zhen'er upstairs very warmly.

Ying'er stayed in a room with Feng Zhen'er, and Yan Shu and Yaya shared a room.

After a day of running around, a few people had a simple dinner and then washed up and rested.

Yaya fell asleep early in the carriage.

Yan Shu put Yaya on the bed.

He also lay on the bed to rest and catch his breath.

"Emma, ​​it's really tiring to travel far away with a child."

"It's too cold in this room. I don't know how these people keep warm in this winter."

Lie on the bed for a while. Yan Shu got up with difficulty.

After all, it was the first time that Yan Shu stayed outside overnight, and she was instinctively alert.

She took out some of the silver and gold ingots from her bag and hid them in Yaya's shoes.

Then he put a dagger under the pillow, then went to bed with peace of mind and fell asleep with Yaya in his arms.

At this moment, Feng Zhen'er, who lived next door, had already gone to bed and fell asleep due to a hard day.

Ying'er simply packed her luggage and made a bed on the floor next to the young lady's bed and fell asleep.

After nightfall, a cold wind sounded outside the window, and Yan Shu was awakened by the sound of banging on the window.

In the dim light, Yan Shu looked at Yaya curled up in the quilt, breathing up and down. I couldn't help but feel a little apologetic, the child was running around like this with me!

Suddenly, "Bang!"

A huge banging sound on the door and window frightened Yan Shu into sitting up instinctively.

I originally thought it was just the sound of something falling due to the strong night wind.

Just as Yan Shu was about to go back to sleep, she suddenly heard someone shouting from next door:

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

It's the voice of the warbler.

Yan Shu's heart suddenly tightened, and she felt that something was wrong!

He immediately got up and walked to the next room.

When Ying'er opened the door, she almost hit her.

Ying'er cried and grabbed Yan Shu's sleeve:

"Sister, there is a flying thief coming to steal our things."

Yan Shu walked inside and told Ying'er to go downstairs to find the store owner.

Feng Zhen'er was so frightened that she huddled on the bed and cried. When she saw Yan Shu coming, she hugged Yan Shu.

"Sister, it was so scary just now."

Yan Shu hurriedly comforted Feng Zhen'er.

At this time, the store owner was already waiting outside the door and said he was sorry.

"How did your store become so easy to attract thieves?" Ying'er shouted.

"Sorry, I scared some girls. I've asked the concierge to look at the back street near the window."

Yan Shu stood up and looked out the window. In the dark street, she only heard a few barking dogs and no other sounds.

"Okay, okay, everyone, let's go and have a rest. This flying thief must have disappeared without a trace."

Yan Shu and Feng Zhen said a few words of comfort, allowing Ying'er to take good care of the frightened Feng Zhen'er.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that Yaya was still in the next room, so she hurried back to her room.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the window door shaking. She was shocked, and a cold air penetrated into her neck!

Yan Shu quickly ran to the bed and shouted, "Yaya!"

Pulling off the thick quilt, Yaya curled up into a ball and slept soundly.

"Thank God, I almost fell into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain!"

Yan Shu quickly glanced out the window and saw the sound of footsteps pounding in the empty street.

Yan Shu looked through the package, and sure enough, there were signs of being tampered with. Some broken silver is missing.

She quickly checked the gold ingots she had hidden in her shoes. Fortunately, they were all there.

At this time, Yan Shu was completely sleepless.

Unexpectedly, thieves were so rampant before we had gone very far.

It's just that the thief didn't know when he targeted them, and they didn't interact too much with others along the way.

I'm afraid these snitches won't give up on the way to Kyoto.

We have to discuss this with Feng Zhen'er tomorrow and be extra careful.
