Chapter 392 Why would I lie to you?
As they were leaving the village, they ran into Huo Shijiu and his men on patrol. Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and then told Liu Zi to stop the carriage. "Little Shijiu..."
Huo Shijiu is only fourteen years old this year, and Lin Chang'er, in her current status, is only two and a half years older than him.
The two were not much different in age, and Huo Shijiu often liked to chat with Lin Chang'er whenever they met.
Hearing her call him, Xiao Shijiu responded, "Sister Chang'er!" and ran to the carriage.
The other patrolling men also came up to greet her, "Chang'er, how many days will you be gone this time?"
Lin Chang'er smiled, "If things go smoothly, it will take three to five days; if not, it might take a few more days."
"May God bless our Chang'er and make sure she has a safe journey so she can return soon."
"Yes, yes, I always feel that the village is not peaceful without Sister Chang'er."
"That's right, Chang'er, don't let the outside world dazzle you and make you not come back."
Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "No way! My sisters-in-law, my second sister-in-law, and Yudian are all coming with me. If I run away with them, my mother will fight me to the death."
Hearing her words, the men laughed heartily, and for a moment, the village entrance was filled with laughter.
Lin Chang'er glanced at them and then added, "You all must take good care of the village, lest my home be stolen while I'm out here."
The men waved their hands, "Don't worry, Chang'er, that's impossible!"
Xiao Shijiu patted his chest and said, "I will definitely protect Sister Chang'er well."
Lin Chang'er added, "I'm not just talking about my family, I'm talking about the whole village."
Lin Chang'er was still worried. Seeing that these men were all from the Huo family and were usually honest and reliable, she lowered her voice and said bluntly, "When I came over just now, I saw Guo Dabao. That kid's eyes were very scary."
"Keep a close eye on him."
Xiao Shijiu and his brothers all looked at Lin Chang'er in surprise.
Lin Chang'er's eyes were firm. "Better safe than sorry. Only then will our village have a better life. Everyone should be careful."
Xiao Shijiu and the others nodded in agreement, "We understand. We'll quietly pass it on to the other brothers when we hand over the shift later."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement. "Alright, then let's begin with the spell."
"Great!" the men readily agreed.
The carriage started moving, and the men on the roadside waved to her, saying, "Have a safe journey and come back soon."
Lin Chang'er nodded to them, and only lowered the curtain after the carriage had driven quite a distance.
At this time, Lin Chang'er was unaware that her caution today had indeed saved the village from great losses.
When the carriage reached the outskirts of the county town, Little Raindrop finally woke up.
When the little guy opened his eyes, he saw familiar faces and didn't notice anything different. The only difference was that his father, mother, grandmother, uncle, aunt (whom he always told him to remember), and other relatives were also waiting for him to wake up.
The tiny baby let out a "ya!" and grinned, revealing its pink gums.
Lin Chang'er tapped his nose, "Oh my, little piggy is awake. Did you wet yourself?"
Raindrops couldn't understand anything, so they just grinned at her and babbled incoherently.
Gu Ersao checked the diaper and shook her head with a smile.
Just to be on the safe side, I took out the small potty that came with the car and let him pee. The little guy was quite obedient, and after some coaxing, he peed a lot.
Children just sleep and eat, wake up to eat, and then sleep again.
It must be hungry after it peed. It's still too young to actively find food, so it can only babble.
The car was full of women, so Gu Ersao didn't pay any attention and went to the side to feed the little guy.
Lin Chang'er leaned to the side to shield her.
When Sister-in-law Gu saw this, she followed her example and turned her body to the side. Only the little one didn't know this. He couldn't shut his mouth while eating and would turn his head from time to time to talk to them.
After the little guy finished eating, they arrived at the post station outside the city, where Wu Qingfeng was waiting for them.
Liu Zi jumped out of the car early to explain the situation, "Master, the First Madam, the Second Madam, and Young Master Yu Dian are all in the car."
Having made up his mind, Wu Qingfeng naturally didn't rush to get on the bus.
Lin Yanqing poked her head out of the carriage and said, "Lord Wu, your aunt brought you steamed buns and soy milk. My sister kept them warm in a thermos, so they're still hot. Come on in and eat."
Wu Qingfeng nodded. "We'll eat in a bit."
Lin Yanqing simply said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.
Lin Chang'er naturally heard the commotion as well, and when she got off the carriage, Wu Qingfeng was already waiting by the carriage.
There was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Lin Chang'er couldn't help but laugh. She pulled him aside and whispered, "My eldest and second sisters-in-law have never been far from home before. So many things have happened these past few days, I thought I'd take them out for a walk."
"They are both in a sensitive period right now, so I'll spend more time with them."
"With them taking care of the household affairs, I will have more free time in the future."
Wu Qingfeng chuckled lightly, "I see you never have a moment to rest."
Lin Chang'er laughed and said, "You talk as if you have a lot of free time."
After she finished speaking, the two looked at each other and then smiled.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Chang'er knew he no longer minded, and continued, "I suppose you didn't sleep well last night either. There are bedding prepared for you in the carriage behind. Yan Qing will ride your horse in a bit, and you can eat something and take a nap."
Wu Qingfeng nodded, having no objection to her arrangement.
At this moment, Gu Ersao lifted the curtain and pointed to Yudian, who had suddenly started crying, in her arms.
Lin Chang'er hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong? You've eaten your fill, why are you crying?"
Gu Ersao pointed at her, and Lin Chang'er also pointed at herself, "Me?"
Sister-in-law Gu poked her head out, "The little one's looking for you!"
Lin Chang'er laughed and reached out her hand, "You have your mother to hold you, why are you looking for your aunt? Come on, let your aunt hold you for a while!"
Whether it was a coincidence or not, the little guy really didn't cry after he was in Lin Chang'er's arms.
When Wu Qingfeng was in the capital, he did see babies, but he didn't have much contact with them.
Adding to the fact that Zhou Yi had left such a deep impression on him the previous two days, he was still feeling lingering fear.
He kept a distance of two body lengths from Lin Chang'er. When Lin Chang'er saw his action, she laughed a little, "What's wrong? Do you think our Raindrops would eat you?"
Wu Qingfeng shook his head and said with an awkward smile, "I'm not very good at getting along with children."
"I see you and the goldfish get along quite well."
Wu Qingfeng denied it, saying, "He's mature beyond his years, not like a child."
Lin Chang'er: "..." Suddenly remembered a little guy who wet the bed.
Suppressing a laugh, she said, "This one is different. This one is still small. If you ignore him, he won't bother you. If you give him a handkerchief, he can play by himself for half a day."
Wu Qingfeng looked surprised. "Really?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Why would I lie to you? Try me."
