My husband is a sick cat

Chapter 153 Entering the Mountain

Tang Ying didn't know what Lu Jian was thinking. He thought it was really not that far away. As soon as he was about to agree, he felt something was wrong. If the place was really not that far away, why couldn't anyone else find it?

"Is what you said true?"

Seeing that Tang Ying was doubtful, Lu Jian laughed dryly and said, "Actually, it's a bit far away. I just thought I had nothing to do today, so I took you to have a look. Didn't you say that you will take the college's assessment the day after tomorrow? You will go to school then. , I’m afraid I won’t have time to come.”

Tang Ying was slightly startled, thinking of what was going to happen next. Although he felt that it would not be difficult for him to take the exam now, but who knew if there would be someone better. He really couldn't slack off when he studied later, but he was still a little worried.

"But, will it be more troublesome for you to take me into the mountains?"

"Nope."

It is not a big problem for Lu Jian to take a person into the mountains. The main reason is that so far, the animals she has encountered have basically not been in groups. The only ones she has encountered are those green wolves. She is sure He was able to protect Tang Ying even when surrounded by green wolves.

After hearing what Lu Jian said so simply, Tang Ying understood. He didn't struggle any more and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go into the mountain with you, but do you want to bring some food in? I can't walk." So fast."

Tang Ying still has a relatively clear understanding of his own abilities.

Lu Jian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

While the two were talking, they happened to come to the kitchen. The kitchen was still steaming, but there were a lot less people in the lobby. They must have gone into the mountains.

Lu Jian stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Ji Yun who was still busy boiling water inside, and asked with a smile: "Aunt Yun, do you have anything else to eat here?"

Ji Yun, who was busy at work, turned around and saw Lu Jian's smiling face. He couldn't help but laugh too, but the words he said were a little surprised: "What? You haven't eaten enough yet?"

"No, no," Lu Jian waved her hands quickly. Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with being able to eat it, she was still a little embarrassed when Ji Yun said this: "I wanted to take it to the mountains to eat, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to come out in time. , will be hungry.”

Only then did Ji Yun realize that he had misunderstood. He laughed dryly, opened the steamer placed next to the stove and said, "These are the five buns left, are they enough? If not, I will get you two more meatloaf?"

Ji Yun likes Lu Jian from the bottom of his heart, not only because Lu Jian is good-looking and well-behaved, but also because she is a girl who doesn't just think about taking advantage.

She has been married to Song Tong for twenty years. When Song Xin was three years old, Song Tong was sent here to guard the inn, so she followed him here. Although the county magistrate said at the time that as long as they valued the inn and did not leave casually, this would They can make their own decisions on what they buy and sell at the inn.

However, in the first few years, most of the people they received were the Imperial Guards or some wealthy young men in the city who were looking for fun. Naturally, they did not dare to reach out to collect money from the Imperial Guards, but the rich men also followed the example of the Imperial Guards and refused to pay. money.

It was not that she and Song Tong had not approached the county magistrate before, but in the end the county magistrate just scolded those rich people and told them to remember to collect money in the future.

But the Song family was powerless to begin with, so how could they reach out to those young masters from wealthy families? If one of them did something wrong, they might get beaten. This situation lasted for almost two years, and just when the two of them could no longer hold on. , Qi Chengji is here.

The two of them didn't know the origin of Qi Chengji, but after he came, the young masters restrained themselves and did not dare to take action at will. They knew how to give money when they ate, but they often didn't give much.

So the two of them knew that Dr. Qi must have some background, but since he didn't want to tell them, they naturally wouldn't ask, especially since the county magistrate personally sent them some money, saying it was to compensate for their subsidies for the past two years. .

After getting the money, the two of them gave up the idea of ​​leaving. After all, if they don't work with Yi Cheng here, what can they do when they go back? They don't have their own land.

The days that followed went on like this. Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, many wealthy households in Lin'an City also moved away. There were fewer dandies coming to them, but more and more hunters. got up.

In the end, after the Royal Guards also stopped coming, those rich men never came again. The only people who would come to this inn were the hunters and people who occasionally passed by. If hunters wanted to enjoy the services of the inn, they had to have proof.

However, this kind of proof can only bind ordinary people, but it has no binding force on Jianghu people. Fortunately, the new county magistrate does not make it difficult for them. If Jianghu people come, they can receive them themselves.

After the customers changed, their family's income gradually increased, but occasionally they would still encounter some defaulters, whether they were hunters or Jianghu people. If they wanted to default on their debts, they had no choice but to settle the matter.

Lu Jian hit someone when he came yesterday. The Song family thought that another difficult person was here. In order to prevent Lu Jian from doing anything more outrageous, Song Xin would directly give her free tea and free steamed buns, but they didn't expect it. In the end, Lu Jian will give them his meat pie.

Just this move made Ji Yun have a great affection for Lu Jian, especially when he gave them a fish later. Lu Jian naturally liked her even more, but this kind of liking did not make her have any other feelings. She knew very well that her son was not worthy of others.

Especially today, she had secretly seen Lu Jian's husband-in-law. He was simply a godly figure, and her son could not be compared to him anywhere.

And she had no intention of charging for the wontons this morning. After all, the value of the fish could not be offset by several bowls of wontons. But when Song Tong went to clear away the dishes, he saw the copper coins placed on the table. .

Who wouldn't like such a beautiful girl who doesn't take advantage of others by relying on her own abilities and is polite and sensible?

Lu Jian glanced at the five buns in the steamer and nodded: "That's enough. If it's not enough, I'll just hunt a pheasant in the mountains."

Lu Jian is not a person who likes to trouble others. He always feels that he will owe others a favor.

Ji Yun didn't say much after hearing this. He rummaged for a while before finding a piece of clean oil paper, wrapped a few hot buns and handed them to Lu Jian: "Here, these buns are just for you. I won’t charge you any more, it’s just the rest anyway.”

Lu Jian hesitated and nodded in agreement, then asked Ji Yun to help her fill two water bags with tea, and then left with Tang Ying.
