Sanma Town is a small town with only a hundred households. Because it is close to the official road, although the town is small, there are quite a lot of businesses.Lao Ma led Yang Fan and the others directly to a family he knew. "This family is named Li. Their family has a yard that is rented out separately. There are four rooms in the main room plus the east and west wing rooms, and there is also a horse shed."

It was still early when Yang Fan and the others arrived in the town. They went to look at the yard of the family mentioned by Lao Ma, and found that it was fairly clean. Not only did they have a separate kitchen, but they also had all the cooking utensils in the kitchen.Yang Fan was quite satisfied, so he nodded to the old horse: "That's it."

With Yang Fan's approval, the old horse talked with the old landlord standing beside him in the local dialect with a smile on his face.After a while, Yang Fan paid the rent and took the key from the landlord.He knows that people like Lao Ma have an agreement with the local landlords on how much commission they will give for soliciting customers.But Yang Fan didn't care how much benefits Lao Ma received from this family, as long as Lao Ma didn't fool him with bad things just because he took money.

Because there is a kitchen in the house, Yang Fan and the others decided to cook by themselves, so they spent some money to buy some fresh vegetables from the landlord, and also bought two chickens from his house.A big rooster, Qiuyue chopped into pieces and served with vermicelli, pork belly, shiitake mushrooms and potatoes, and made a big pot of Luanchun.Another big hen stewed a pot of chicken soup with the medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula and wolfberry.The prescription was produced by Liu Yizheng, and the medicinal materials were taken from the pharmacy at home when I left Fuyuan County"

Qiuyue is good at cooking, and as soon as the food is served, a group of big men are waving their arms and screaming.Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu's meals were served separately. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't compete with these foodies, Yang Fan would be more willing to eat at a table with them.

Habit first filled Lin Mozhu with a bowl of chicken soup, and Yang Fan said softly, "Eat more, you haven't eaten anything today." Brother Yang, you can eat too. "

For a meal, you pick a piece of meat for me and I serve you a bowl of soup, and finish eating in a warm atmosphere.Lin Mozhu wasn't hungry after eating snacks in the car, but unknowingly he also ate a bowl of rice and drank a bowl full of chicken soup.Putting down the chopsticks, I realized that I was full, and couldn't help hiccupping, even embarrassed to look at Yang Fan with a blushing face.

Yang Fan chuckled and asked him, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

Lin Mozhu nodded with a blushing face.

It was dark in the early summer in the north, and it was still bright outside, so Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu went out for a stroll.Life in the small town is relatively comfortable. At this time, everyone has gone home for dinner, there are no people on the street, and the shops are closed.Walking on the stone road, surrounded by houses with blue tiles and white walls, the voices coming from the yard passing by are mixed with the crowing of cocks and barking dogs, which is a peaceful and peaceful life scene.

It took the two of them a quarter of an hour to reach the end of the town. Looking at the farmland as the night darkened, they blew the wind for a while and saw that it was getting dark. Yang Fan said to Lin Mozhu, "Let's go back."

Returning along the original road, the two of them suddenly heard the sound of a carriage behind them when they were halfway there.Yang Fan turned his head and saw a carriage covered in blue felt driving towards them. The streets of the town were not spacious, and at most two carriages could pass by side by side.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the driver might not have seen Yang Fan and the others, the speed of the carriage was so fast.Seeing that the carriage was about to hit them, Yang Fan quickly took Lin Mozhu and took two steps back to avoid it.

The wind brought by the passing carriage blew the hem of their clothes, and Yang Fan looked very displeased at the carriage going away.When passing by, Yang Fan saw that the coachman was clearly looking at them. It is impossible not to know that their carriage almost hit someone, but they left so directly.Concealing the anger in his heart, Yang Fan hurriedly turned his head to care about Lin Mozhu: "Did I hit you?"

Lin Mozhu shook his head, "No, Brother Yang, how about you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine too."

After confirming that both parties were fine, the two breathed a sigh of relief.Yang Fan didn't care about being outside, and kept holding Lin Mozhu's shoulder on the way back.When they approached the place where they lived, they saw a carriage parked at the gate of the yard next to them from a distance.A dark-skinned middle-aged man was holding a riding whip and was talking with the landlord.Although it was just a hasty meeting, Yang Fan still recognized this person, the driver of the carriage that almost ran into him and the child just now.

When Yang Fan and the others approached, they heard the landlord say to this person in half-baked Mandarin: "We really don't have a guest room at home, why don't you go to the front and ask."

The man had no choice but to give up.Hearing that the negotiation failed, a charming and soft female voice complained from the carriage: "I knew I should stay at the post station just now. What if I can't find a house to live at this late?"

"Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will definitely find a house to live in." Another male voice followed to comfort her, the voice was full of irresistible love.

"This is what you promised. If you can't do it, it depends on how others deal with you.

Although he didn't see anyone in the carriage, Yang Fan got goosebumps all over his body from the pretentious voice.

, hurriedly dragged Lin Mozhu back to the yard.

I stayed in Sanma Town for one night. When I woke up the next morning, the weather was fine, with blue sky and white clouds, and it looked like another sunny day.Yang Fan was still a little hesitant, but Lin Mozhu said: "There are only five or six days left for the journey to the capital, and the hard work will arrive soon. If we continue to stay, if it rains, we will have to delay, and we don't know when we will be able to arrive in the capital."

Yang Fan agreed after thinking about it, and the group simply packed up and set off again.It's just that sometimes the more people don't think about it, the more things will happen. Originally, the sky was clear, but when they were halfway along the road, a dark cloud suddenly floated from the sky, and it soon enveloped their heads in darkness.

"Boss, we still have an hour to go to the next station, it's too late. I know there is an abandoned temple in front of me, why don't we go there to hide from the rain?"

Hearing what Lao Ma said, Yang Fan immediately agreed without hesitation.So the group immediately speeded up, and finally arrived at the ruined temple that the old horse said when the heavy rain fell.To say that it is a ruined temple is really not an ordinary ruin. Not only the door of the ruined temple is gone, but even half of the wall is down, and the remaining half of the roof is also full of holes.

The torrential rain fell so heavily that it hurt even when it hit people.Qi Ming and the others hurriedly pulled the carriage to the deserted yard, covered the carriage with oilcloth and ran into the temple to hide from the rain.Fortunately, although half of the roof is broken, it still has the effect of sheltering from the rain.It's just that there are so many of them, and there is only a small area with less water leakage, so everyone has to stand together.

It was only past noon tomorrow, but it was already dark outside, and the heavy rain was accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the rumbling thunder made people feel panicked.Lin Mozhu approached Yang Fan subconsciously, and when he sensed his actions, Yang Fan simply hugged him into his arms.Everyone is used to the intimate behavior of the two of them from time to time, and they don't think there is anything special about it.Lin Mozhu only blushed slightly, but didn't break away.

In a burst of thunder, a carriage braved the heavy rain and rushed to the ruined temple.When he came to the front, the clothes on the driver's body were already soaked.Seeing that Yang Fan and his party had already occupied the ruined temple, the coachman's ugly face was even more ugly.He talked to the people in the car in a dialect that Yang Fan and the others didn't understand, then he got out of the carriage with a troubled expression and walked towards Yang Fan and the others.

"Excuse me, can you give me a seat? Let my master come in to hide from the rain

The coachman didn't have a rain gear to cover him, so he just drenched all the way, and the rain meandered down his forehead and down his dark face.Even though he had only photographed the face twice, Yang Fan still recognized this face.It was really fate, it was the carriage that almost ran into them yesterday.

Yang Fan smiled lightly, pointed to the side, and said, "You can do whatever you want."

The coachman looked at the place where the water leaked seriously, and his face became more and more unhappy.After thinking about it, he said again in a negotiating tone: "We will pay ten taels of silver, and you guys will give us this seat." Afraid that Yang Fan and the others would not understand, he pointed to the place where they were standing.

Yang Fan looked up at him, and said in a cold tone: "If you want to come in to hide from the rain, you can do whatever you want, if you don't want to come in, the way is over there."

As he spoke, Yang Fan pointed to the official road that could no longer be seen clearly in the heavy rain.

Seeing that there are many people in Yang Fan's party, and among them there are still big men, the coachman has no choice but to go back and report.The coachman talked with the people in the car for a while, and at this moment, another roar of thunder exploded in the sky.The people in the carriage didn't dare to delay any longer, they got out of the carriage under umbrellas, wrapped in tarpaulins, and walked towards the temple.

There are two people, a man and a woman. The woman is very young and beautiful, and she leans against the man's arms weakly and bonelessly.The man was about forty years old, with a fat body and a big belly, trotting and trembling all the way.

The man had an ugly face at first, but when he entered the temple, he also saw that Yang Fan and his party were not easy to provoke, so he swallowed everything he wanted to say.The woman in his arms is not easy to give up, and she acted like a baby to the man: "How can this place hide from the rain? Look, their shoes are all dirty! These are their favorite shoes! I don't care, I don't care." , you go figure out a way!"

Fortunately, the man knew the seriousness, and he didn't listen to the woman's running over to find Yang Fan and the others, but softly comforted the woman from the side.

Yang Fan was not interested in listening to what they were talking about. He watched the heavy rain outside for almost half an hour, and felt that it was not an option to wait any longer.Such a heavy rain will not stop for a while, and the road is not easy to walk after the rain. If you rush on the road rashly, you may not be able to reach the next station after dark.It looked like they were going to stay in this ruined temple today.

So when the rain subsided a little, Yang Fan asked Qi Ming and the others to take an umbrella and go back to the carriage to get the tarpaulin.There are several large oilcloths in their carriage, which are spread out and tied to the posts with ropes to block the places where the roof leaks seriously, so that they can move more widely.

Seeing Yang Fan and his group's series of skillful movements, the three fat people beside them were dumbfounded.
