Chapter 384 Heavy snow blocks roads
The snow outside has stopped, but the snow is deep, half knee-deep.
Yingbao and her father stood at the door of the inn and looked into the distance, their hearts sinking.
If they were riding horses, they might be able to walk, but they were carriages.
Once the wooden wheels of the carriage are frozen, the entire carriage is useless.
Yingbao went to the back yard of the inn to take a look again.
The horses are all in the stable, and the owner is feeding them with a basket of chopped fodder.
Xiao Chengjun's horses were also crowded in the stable, and some of them were still standing outside, pooping on the ground.
The shopkeeper's wife was cursing and shoveling away the feces and urine.
In the kitchen, the shopkeeper's two daughters-in-law were cooking. They were steaming something unknown in a large steamer, and the whole house was steaming.
When I returned to the inn, I saw that the small lobby was already crowded, and all the guests were getting up.
Ying Bao and her father returned to their house, took him into the cave, and took out the food cooked last night for their father and brother to eat.
After Jiang Sanlang washed up, he sat down at the small table to eat.
There are boiled eggs, steamed egg and leek dumplings, sweet rice dumplings, and a bowl of steaming rice porridge.
After finishing the meal with soy beans and fermented bean curd, Jiang Sanlang immediately left the cave with his daughter and son.
Yingbao also asked him to bring a dozen boiled eggs and some rice balls to Mr. Wu and his cousin Wei Zhan, saying that they were dry food prepared from Fucheng.
The inn also provides food, but it costs extra and there won't be so many eggs.
After a while, Wei Zhan came over and said, "Yingbao, the snow is too thick outside, we may be trapped here."
"Then just wait two days before walking." It's only October now, and the snow will melt in a few days at most, but after the snow melts, the road will be muddy and difficult to walk on.
Wei Zhan sat on a stool nearby and said softly: "Xiao Chengjun and that Chen Tiantian are also in the inn, Ying Bao, please pay attention."
Yingbao nodded: "I know."
She wasn't afraid of those two people at all.
Xiao Chengjun wanted something from him and did not dare to act rashly, but Chen Tiantian and Han Yueniang hated the Jiang family to the core, so they would probably resort to some tricks.
However, they also have weaknesses, don't they?
The father said that Han Yueniang was accompanied by a child of several years old, who was two years younger than Chen Jiaxubao. He should be four or five years old. He should be the youngest son of Han Yueniang and that old man Pei.
Ying Bao considers herself not a good person. If someone tries to do bad things to her, she will definitely retaliate against them.
As they were talking, two people came to Yingbao's door, it was Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun.
"Sister Yingbao, you finally opened the door." Chen Tiantian smiled and said, "You slept so deeply last night. There were so many people coming to the inn, but you didn't even come out to take a look."
Ying Bao sat on the chair and looked at Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun.
Sixteen-year-old Chen Tiantian has become more and more beautiful, and has grown much taller, just like an adult girl.
The word "prison" on her forehead was covered by a golden flower, making her even more enchanting.
Xiao Chengjun, who was standing next to Chen Tiantian, must be eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns, a broad back and waist, and he looked very heroic.
The two of them stood together, not to mention, they really matched each other perfectly.
It's just that Ying Bao was very hostile to these two people, and even hearing them talk made her sick to her stomach.
"What does it matter to you if I can't get out?" Ying Bao said, "Besides, I've seen too many tattooed people, and I'm not missing out on you."
Chen Tiantian's expression immediately changed upon hearing this, and she glanced at Xiao Chengjun aggrievedly.
Xiao Chengjun patted her comfortingly and shouted to Yingbao: "Jiang Yingbao! Don't bully others too much!"
Wei Zhan stood up and stood in front of Ying Bao: "Why are you bullying someone? Isn't Ying Bao telling the truth? Xiao Chengjun, you are really promising when you protect a tattooed woman like this."
Whenever she is tattooed, it means that she has committed a crime. Even if she does not go to jail, she will be despised for the rest of her life.
Xiao Chengjun's face darkened and he said solemnly: "You should mind my business, Wei Zhan, I haven't asked you why you are with Jiang."
After all, this Wei Zhan was the aunt and nephew of his stepmother Wang, and he was somewhat related to him. Xiao Chengjun gave him some face.
"You should stop meddling in my affairs." Wei Zhan responded directly and asked coldly: "Don't stand here blocking the way, we have to go down to eat."
As he said that, he pulled Ying Bao aside and pushed Xiao Chengjun away and walked out.
Downstairs, the innkeeper's wife and her daughter-in-law had already carried two large buckets of rice porridge into the lobby and were telling everyone to prepare rice.
Xiao Chengjun subconsciously stepped back, and then watched angrily as Wei Zhan pulled Yingbao downstairs.
The lobby was noisy. The guests poured a large bowl of porridge, took two large steamed buns, and sat around to eat together.
There was a big bowl of shredded pickles in the middle of the table and nothing else.
The guards brought by Xiao Chengjun also ate these, but they also brought dry food and dried meat themselves, soaked them in porridge and ate them.
Jiang Cheng made several bowls of porridge and took some steamed buns to Datong Shop for Mr. Wu and everyone else to eat.
Mr. Wu couldn't sleep well because Xiao Chengjun and his gang made a fuss last night, and he was a little out of sorts at the moment.
"It's impossible to walk today." Jiang Sanlang sighed, sat cross-legged across from Mr. Wu, took a sip of porridge, and did not touch the steamed buns.
Mr. Wu ate two eggs, took a sip of porridge, and said, "Then we'll stay here for two more days. There's no rush."
Jiang Sanlang could only do this.
But he was worried that Xiao Chengjun would be detrimental to him and his group.
They were numerous and armed, so if there was a conflict, they would not be able to parry it.
And this place is a small market town. Even if Xiao Chengjun kills everyone in the inn, no one dares to stop him.
Ying Bao walked in, took out a few packets of pills from her bag, and distributed them to her father, Mr. Wu, her cousin and Wen Hengyin.
Wei Zhan stuck out his head: "Where's mine?"
"Yes." Ying Bao stuffed him with a medicine bag: "The medicine powder is a medicine for stopping bleeding and injuries. The pills can be taken internally. There are medicines for treating typhoid fever and internal injuries."
She was afraid that if she had a conflict with Xiao Chengjun, everyone would be hurt, so she took precautions.
Jiang Sanlang glanced at his daughter and said, "Ying Bao, you go back later. Don't come out if you have nothing to do."
"Yeah." Yingbao paused and said, "Dad, you guys should stay in Datongpu and don't go out. There are still two days until the snow melts. There will be more and more people in the inn. It's not good if someone takes over the room. ”
Nearly twenty of the people Xiao Chengjun brought were crowded into a large shop. If there were not enough people, they would come and rob his own large shop.
"He dares!" Wei Zhan took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "There are more than a dozen of us. Who dares to rob the house?"
As he spoke, he patted the dagger hanging on his waist: "We are not vegetarians either."
Jiang Wu echoed: "That's right!"
He is already eleven years old, almost as tall as his sister, and he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he looks very strong and strong.
When Jiang Wu didn't use weapons, it wouldn't be a problem for Jiang Wu to fight two of them.
Yingbao doesn't think so.
Although there are more than a dozen people on his side, how can they compare with the samurai who are bleeding all the year round?
In the event of a conflict, Yingbao only wanted to capture the thief, King Xianqin, and captured Chen Tiantian.
