Chapter 95： Rocks blocking the way

Chapter 95 Mountains and rocks blocking the way

At night, Chu Nanzhi slept peacefully.

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 the familiar dream, and when she opened her eyes, she still hugged Lin Jinxiao tightly.

She scolded herself for being impudent in her heart, and climbed out of bed lightly.

Only this time, Lin Jinxiao woke up the moment she got up.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Lin Jinxiao suddenly called her to a gentle stop from behind: "Chu Nanzhi."

Chu Nanzhi turned around and stared at him with astonishment, and saw that he was casually reaching for the crutch beside the bed, then limped to the willow window, took a deep breath, and said softly: "They're all waiting for you to come back."

The speech speed was as slow as his walking pace, and the words were heard very clearly.

"Um."

Chu Nanzhi responded softly, and went to open the door, only to see the quadruplets standing at the door together, with indescribable tenderness and reluctance in pairs of clear and bright pupils.

The four little guys were surprisingly quiet today, they just stared at her blankly, not talking to each other in a muffled voice.

Chu Nanzhi silently dragged the little ones down the stairs slowly. The whole room was surrounded by a strong smell of meat, which made people salivate.

Following the scent into the kitchen, Chu Nanzhi saw Liu Yun taking a cloth bag to take buns from the steaming steamer.

Chu Wenbi sat sullenly in front of the stove breaking wood and lighting the fire. Although he disapproved of his daughter taking risks for the sake of the Wei brothers and sisters, he couldn't find a suitable reason to persuade her, so he could only keep silent.

Chu Nanzhi looked at the sky outside, it was just dawn, and she didn't know when the couple got up, but she made breakfast without her noticing.

Liu Yun packed a big bag of steamed buns, and urged while wrapping them up: "I see that the carriage has been coming outside for a while, Dazhi, wash up and go out, the steamed buns are eaten while they are hot, and the steamed buns are saved on the way for everyone to fill up when they are hungry." abdomen."

After finishing speaking, he went to the side to get a water bag filled with water, put it together with the package, and continued to tell: "Nanhua Mountain is far away, if there is not enough water, drink it sparingly."

"it is good."

Chu Nanzhi answered succinctly, but her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Seeing the gradually hazy figure, she quickly turned her back to get water to wash.

The old mother sorted out the big and small packages, making herself feel as if she was going to escape, and she was moved and wanted to laugh.

While 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.

Looking at the figure that was about to disappear, Chu Wenbi finally couldn't sit still, grabbed his crutches and quickly stood up and shouted to the outside: "Dazhi, if you encounter difficulties, don't be brave."

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Nanzhi's eyes turned sour, he tightly held the package in his hand, and replied with a forced smile, "Father, don't worry, I will be careful."

Then went over to prepare to get in the car with Li Sanmu.

But at the moment when they boarded the carriage, the four little treasures chased after them, each shouting:

"Aniang, come back earlier."

"Aniang, you must come back."

"Aniang, you must come back."

"Auntie will come back as soon as she finishes her work. Be obedient and go in with grandma to eat steamed stuffed buns."

Chu Nanzhi held back tears, and smiled warmly while waving at the little ones.

Also worried that the little ones would make trouble again, he pushed Li Sanmu and hurriedly hid in the carriage.

With a long shout from the groom, the wheels rolled slowly on the potholed path, watching a group of petite figures gradually become blurred in sight, and then faint cries came from the yard again, Chu Nan Zhi felt a little scared suddenly.

For the sake of this group of little fellows, they have to come back safe and sound no matter what.

Actually, what she dislikes the most is this kind of parting, even the heavier farewell.

As an Interpol in her previous life, she repeatedly solved strange cases. Some people were grateful, but some hated people like them. Her parents died because of criminals' malicious revenge.

Because of this, she was depressed for two full years before she recovered.

In this life, she still loves this profession. While continuing to pursue truth and belief, she only hopes that this family will not be implicated because of herself in the future.

So, this is also an important reason why she dare not have strong feelings for the little treasures.

The carriage left Tong'an Village, the mountain road became more rugged, and the whole carriage was bumped very violently. 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 two sips of water, her complexion gradually improved, Chu Nanzhi took out buns from her cloth bag and prepared to hand 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 fill her stomach. She suddenly thought of some questions, looked at Xiaofen, and asked softly, "Sister Xiaofen, do you know that your mistress is in Nanhua?" Who is the Taoist that I met in the meditation?"

Xiaofen thought for a while, and immediately replied: "It is said that it is the master of Princess Luochu, Taoist Priest Tanhua. The servants have some impressions. On the day of contemplation, it was the mistress that Priest Tanhua received."

Chu Nanzhi nodded in thought: "It seems that your mistress has a deep friendship with that priest?"

Hearing this, Xiaofen's eyes became cold and indifferent: "My mistress is not good at other things, but the matter of spending money has never been ambiguous. I heard from the old mother in the house that in the past two years, she has only given money. There are thousands of taels of silver given to Taoist Tanhua."

"I see."

Chu Nanzhi couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

Sure enough, the female envoy of the inner court knew a lot. This woman donated incense money to the temple, and also donated silver to Taoist Tanhua. No wonder you can go to Nanhua Temple at will.

Hearing this, Li Sanmu became more worried, and said with deep worry: "Since 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. But every year, people from the palace come to welcome them back to the palace, and there is still a pro-army stationed at the foot of Beishan to protect the safety of the three eldest princesses."

Guan Erbai pondered for a long time, at this moment he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and couldn't help but uttered: "I don't know what happened in Beijing that made father and daughter escape into the Dao door together, even Chang Lao and Nie Lao He resigned in anger and lived in seclusion in the countryside."

Not to mention the two yamen servants were surprised by this kind of thing, even Chu Nanzhi, who is 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 low-class people like them can inquire about.

Seeing the curious expressions of the two, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to remind her kindly: "We don't talk about state affairs, we just need to go to the temple to find evidence today, arrest the real culprit, and bring justice to the wronged person, so we will live up to this trip."

It would be good for her not to mention this matter, but when it was mentioned, Li Sanmu and Guan Erbai frowned.

Li Sanmu asked puzzledly: "Sister-in-law, you asked the county magistrate to take the brothers to Nanhua Temple in person, but we went around dozens of miles. After such a toss, could it be that sister-in-law really has a plan?"

"That's natural, me."

Chu Nanzhi hadn't finished speaking when he heard the neighing of the horse and stopped suddenly, and the whole carriage shook violently.

Afterwards, the groom's eager voice came in: "Miss Chu, the road ahead is blocked by rocks."
