Chapter 284 Danger
“Is there something wrong with Mrs. Cen who came to stay?”
“Yes.” Too simple, If it was because of her temperament, she was still polite in her movements, which made her feel a little awkward. Moreover, when Mrs. Cen first met me and saluted, she subconsciously wanted to clasp her fists, but soon changed to a woman's salute. Obviously she is not She is an ordinary lady."
"In addition, Mrs. Cen is a girl. She goes out without even a personal maid or mother-in-law, only a few servants and servants. Looking at the temperament She is very fierce and feels like she is not an ordinary person.”
“In short, I think the identity of Mrs. Cen is a bit suspicious. To be on the safe side, it is better to be cautious and prevent any mistakes.”
"Yes, I know." Guo Kanglai responded hurriedly.
"Since Sister Xia has long seen that there is something wrong with these people, why do she still let these people in to stay? Isn't this just inviting a wolf into the house?" Jiang Zhuguo was a little confused.
"If these people are really wolves, they have already arrived at the door. If we refuse, I'm afraid there will be an accident."
Xia Mingyue explained, "And those people I just just Guess, maybe Mrs. Cen has some reasons to hide her identity, so we just have to be prepared for a rainy day."
"I understand," Jiang Zhuguo nodded, "Then today. Sister Zhuang Cui and I will take turns on duty in the evening.”
That way you can rest assured.
"No need, just stay with my wife, Wu Jin and I will go out on patrol." Zhuang Cui tied the dagger he used around his waist, and even carried a quiver and bow on his back.
Zhuang Cui is good at archery. He recently bought some handy gear and practices it at home.
Not to mention that he always hits the target without missing a shot, and his hit rate cannot be underestimated, not inferior to that of ordinary men.
When Wu Jin heard that he and Zhuang Cui were going to patrol together, he shouted "Wangwang" twice in excitement.
Being with a beautiful young lady is a dream come true.
After everything was arranged, everyone went to work separately. Xia Mingyue was completely sleepless at this time and no longer went to bed. She only asked Jiang Zhuguo to bring a pen and paper over and start writing and drawing.
The article is about the list and preparation methods of simple snacks that the garden can provide guests in the future, and the drawing is about the production process and the precautions involved.
The fried sesame leaves are crispy and crispy, full of farm flavor but can be served on the table.
Full of sweetness, with a crunchy frosted peanut inside.
Tender and cool, the mung bean cake is extremely refreshing on this dry spring day.
Mellow and fragrant, tender and fragrant pea yellow...
At this moment in the courtyard next door, when Cen Ying saw that it was calm outside, she came out of the house and quickly He walked to the carriage.
Two carriages, one for people and one for cargo.
The carriage that was pulling the goods was filled with boxes of all sizes, covered with a thick net, and a thick layer of linoleum cloth underneath the net.
Lifting the linoleum cloth, a slightly pale face was revealed.
It was a young man who opened his eyes when he realized someone was coming and moved his lips with difficulty. However, he couldn't say a word. He could only close his mouth and eyes and gasp. Getting angry.
"Master!" Cen Ying frowned, her face full of anxiety, and hurriedly asked Xu Chong, who was taking the young man's pulse next to her, "What's wrong?"
"It's not getting better." Xu Chong He also frowned and sighed, "First carry the third young master into the room and have a good rest. I will then take a dose of medicine. Let's hold on for a while."
Hearing this, Cen Ying hurriedly Tell those around you to do it.
All the people were busy, and they quickly removed the linoleum cloth and net covering the top, carried the young man into the room, and settled him down. "Miss Ying, the Third Young Master is in a dangerous situation, and his continuous travels have made it even worse. He still needs to settle down as soon as possible, and then ask a capable doctor to take a good look at him. Maybe there is still hope." Xu Chong suggested.
“Where is the nearest city from here?” Cen Ying asked.
"Jinqiu County is about half a day's journey from here." The guard below answered.
"Early tomorrow morning, rush to Jinqiu County." Cen Ying ordered, "Send one person to go there at this time to find a safe place to stay, and at the same time inquire about doctors with skilled medical skills in the county and surrounding areas."
"Yes!" One of them took the order and left.
Xu Chong took out the casserole he carried and began to sort the medicinal materials and prepare to boil the medicine. During the process, he took out pills from the medicine bottle he carried with him and fed them to the young man.
Cen Ying looked at the pale young man lying on the bed, anxious, but she did not forget Xu Chong's instructions. She scooped some warm water with a small wooden spoon and fed him to drink.
A moment later, a guard came in and cupped his hand at Cen Ying, "Miss Ying, the people in this orchard are constantly patrolling outside. I don't know what their purpose is."
"Do you have any questions? Intention of spying?" Cen Ying asked.
"No." The guard said, "It was just a patrol, not too close."
"It was probably just a regular patrol in the orchard. We stayed overnight rashly, and there were so many strangers, most of them servants and guards. , they feel uneasy, so they should send more people."
Cen Ying said, "Don't worry too much, you should take good care of it, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." The guard took the order again and left, closing the door gently before leaving.
Cen Ying looked sideways, looking at the dark sky outside with all the doors shut out. At this time, all she could see was the warm light of candlelight, and she felt sad in her heart.
How great would it be if the dangers in this world could be shut out like the dark night?
Unfortunately, they cannot escape from what they are facing.
We can only move forward bravely.
Cen Ying gritted her teeth and held tightly the palm of the young man's eyes, which were now closed.
Everyone has different thoughts and most of the night they have no sleep.
When it was bright in the morning, Cen Ying said goodbye and left.
Guo Kanglai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this and hurriedly sent him a gift.
"Sorry to bother you." Cen Ying said happily, "I see that the peach blossoms are about to bloom here. I wonder if I can get one. The fragrance of the peach blossoms in full bloom can also relieve the fatigue of the journey."
The master likes peach blossoms the most. With a peach blossom next to him, his health may get better as soon as possible.
“Mrs. Cen, wait a moment, I’m going to help Cen make peach blossoms.”
These are all trivial matters. Guo Kanglai made the decision himself. He took scissors and cut off a few of the most prosperous branches and handed them to Cen Ying.
Cen Ying thanked him and got into the carriage.
The two carriages left one after another. It was not until they were far away that the stone in Guo Kanglai's heart fell and he went to inform Xia Mingyue.
Nothing happened. Xia Mingyue also breathed a sigh of relief and told everyone to take a rest today and it would not be too late to do anything again.
After staying in the orchard for three days, Xia Mingyue and the others went back.
