I Picked up a Baby (Second Update)

The weather was originally sunny, but after the team left Feiyan Town, it was overcast and stormy. Read 520 official website

Changan remembered the last assassination and advised Mu Fei to cancel the trip to the mine today, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.

Nian Jincheng looked up at the sky, "Your Highness, go another day. I will escort your Highness back to the city."

"Yes, Master! If it rains heavily, you won't see the workers working in the mine!" Changan said.

"Forget it, go back." Mu Fei's voice came from the carriage, and Nian Jincheng ordered the team to turn around and return to the county town.

As soon as they returned to Feiyan Town, bean-sized raindrops fell cracklingly. Against the wind, the horses moved forward with difficulty, and the carriage could not stop the rain.

Nian Jincheng ordered to stop outside the Feiyan Restaurant, and he escorted Mu Fei inside to take shelter from the rain and wait until the rain was lighter before leaving.

The shopkeeper respectfully invited them to the private room on the second floor and served them hot water towels, hot tea and snacks.

The window was closed, and the wind was howling outside.

Mu Fei wiped his face and sighed, "What a damn weather!"

Near noon, Nian Jincheng asked Mu Fei if he would eat here.

He called the shopkeeper over and strongly recommended two signature medicinal dishes, saying that one of the chicken soups tasted best when made with pears from an ancient local pear tree. The pear tree caught fire last month, and only two pears were left from the pears that Feiyan Restaurant bought.

This was the shopkeeper's recent marketing strategy, telling many customers that only two of the best pears were left.

But of course he didn't dare to deceive Mu Fei and Nian Jincheng. There were indeed two pears left from the pears bought from Su Liang, which were well preserved. They were supposed to wait for the owner to come and cook them, but the owner said he would not come this year, so the shopkeeper thought of using them to entertain the officials.

Mu Fei ordered several dishes, including the two medicinal dishes.

"Su Liang and Ning Jing should have left the county town early this morning. They couldn't have walked too far, and they might have encountered this rain." Mu Fei said.

Nian Jincheng had thought of it long ago. But he couldn't take the initiative to mention those two people in front of Mu Fei, to avoid suspicion.

"Su Jiujiu..." Mu Fei thought, "Who did Su Liang learn martial arts from? Where did she send Liu Xiaoyue? Who is this Su Jiujiu?"

Nian Jincheng didn't answer. He only knew that Su Liang's martial arts were taught by Ning Jing, but not all.

"If she hadn't helped me several times, I would have suspected that she was a spy planted by someone beside me under the identity of Su Liang." Mu Fei snorted.

Nian Jincheng's hand holding the teacup paused slightly.

Objectively speaking, Mu Fei's guess was not too much, and with his identity, he should indeed be cautious with everyone who approached him.

But Nian Jincheng couldn't be objective about this, because in his eyes, Su Liang belonged to Ning Jing. He wanted to say that Mu Fei took himself too seriously.

Originally, Mu Fei had no expectations for the dishes in this restaurant in the town, but when it was served, the aroma was overflowing. After tasting the snow pear chicken soup, he found that the shopkeeper was not exaggerating, it was really delicious.

Another medicinal dish was also very good, and both were very suitable for this cold and windy day.

Mu Fei asked Chang'an to find the shopkeeper to buy the medicinal recipe, and asked him to find out where the ancient pear tree was. He planned to send someone to buy the fruit and transport it back to the capital next year. He thought the shopkeeper's story about the pear tree on fire was fabricated.

Mu Fei's mother was a good cook, and she had always won the emperor's heart. When Mu Fei encountered delicious food outside, he would always get the recipe to take back.

Chang'an came back, but he didn't buy the medicinal recipe. The shopkeeper said that he couldn't make the decision and had to ask the boss. As for the pear tree, it really caught fire in Sujia Village. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it.

This is because Mu Fei's current identity is just a county magistrate, and Nian Jincheng's identity as a general is not clear. The owner of Feiyan Restaurant is acquainted with Xing Yusheng, and he is not an ordinary person.

If the shopkeeper knew that Mu Fei was the noble Fourth Prince, he would not dare to refuse, but Changan would not expose Mu Fei's identity for this.

"Sujia Village?" Mu Fei was stunned.

Changan smiled and said, "I asked again and again, and the shopkeeper admitted that the medicinal recipe was bought from a girl in Sujia Village. It must be the Miss Su we know."

In this way, we can go back and buy the medicinal recipe from Su Liang.

"Why don't I know that Su Yuanzhou's family has ancestral medicinal recipes?" Mu Fei felt strange, "Where did Su Liang learn it from?"

Nian Jincheng looked indifferent, "Miss Su is quite good at cooking, it may not be ancestral, maybe she just tried to make it herself."

Mu Fei nodded and smiled, "That's right. If my mother sees Su Liang, she will definitely like her very much."

How could Nian Jincheng not hear Mu Fei's exploration and interest in Su Liang? It's just someone's fault. They have already married, so what's the point of being brothers and sisters? Make other men think they have a chance.

…

Su Liang and Ning Jing were in a place far from the village and the shop when they found the weather change.

If they turned back to the city, they might encounter the bad situation that the rain stopped after they had a hard time going back in the storm.

So Ning Jing drove the carriage faster and faster, intending to find a place to shelter from the rain.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and when the raindrops began to fall, he saw a house in the distance.

When he drove the carriage closer, he found that it was an abandoned temple with people inside.

Ning Jing drove the carriage into the yard surrounded by the broken wall. Su Liang lifted the curtain of the carriage. There were four men sitting together and roasting fire inside. They all looked at her. Although their expressions were controlled, two of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva...

Su Liang retracted his gaze, got off the car, and covered the carriage with Ning Jing with oilcloth. The books inside were her treasures, and they couldn't get wet. The horse was tied to the pillar under the eaves.

The rain was getting heavier, and Su Liang and Ning Jing walked in together. One of the four men said, "If you don't mind, you can come and warm yourself by the fire."

Su Liang saw another person in the corner, or rather, a bald head...

"My two donors, we meet again." The beautiful monk who she met in the town yesterday was a little surprised to see Su Liang and Ning Jing appear. He stood up and put his hands together to greet them.

Su Liang didn't want to pay attention to the four men who looked unkind. There was limited space in the temple, so she walked towards the monk, "What's your name, little master?"

"My name is Chengyun." The monk said, leaning down to tidy up the hay on the ground, and asked Ning Jing and Su Liang to sit down.

"Thank you." Su Liang saw that Chengyun was wearing the monk's robe he wore yesterday, and his clothes were torn. There was a water bag and a cloth bag next to him, and half of the dried bun was exposed in it, probably from begging.

Su Liang sat down, and Ning Jing sat next to her, looking at the cars and horses outside.

Another group of people also stared at their cars and horses, and lowered their heads from time to time to talk.

"Do you know the name of the one you saved?" Su Liang asked Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun nodded, "The female donor said her surname was Yan and her given name was Jiujiu."

Su Liang thought that anyone who knew Yan Shiba's name could connect the two names, but this stupid monk obviously didn't know.

"Where did you save her? How did you send her to Sujia Village without money?" Su Liang asked.

Cheng Yun said that he was ordered by his master to go to the Huguo Temple in the capital to deliver scriptures to his uncle. He had some money on him. When he passed by a cliff, he saw the seriously injured and unconscious "Yan Jiujiu". He wanted to place her in the clinic, but she insisted that Cheng Yun send her to Sujia Village to find her sister, otherwise she would commit suicide...

When Su Liang heard this, he could imagine how Yan Shiba tortured this monk in order to achieve his goal.

Cheng Yun sighed, "After arriving at Feiyan Town, all the money was gone. But fortunately, I sent the donor Yan back home. I feel relieved to know that she is fine."

Su Liang wanted to say: That's not her home, it's my home...

The rain showed no sign of stopping, Ning Jing whispered, "They want to kill me and take you and the carriage away."

Su Liang thought Ning Jing should have seen that one of the four people had a black forehead.

But the other party didn't move, so the two pretended to know nothing for the time being. Ning Jing took out fruit snacks from the car, as well as the shredded radish cakes that he brought over after breakfast.

"Vegetarian." Su Liang handed the cake to Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun declined, saying that he had something to eat.

Su Liang insisted, and Cheng Yun took it anyway. Although it was cold, it was still delicious, and he ate two more fruits.

The rain showed no sign of stopping. It was clearly noon, but it was as dark as dusk.

Ning Jing also started a fire, and Su Liang took a book and read it by himself.

Chengyun saw the medical book Su Liang was reading, and after asking about it, he learned that she was a doctor. He expressed his admiration, as if he believed that Su Liang must be a kind-hearted person.

But not long after, Chengyun was slapped in the face...

The four men finally couldn't hold back, and one of them asked Su Liang and Ning Jing for food. His attitude was polite, saying that when they were out, they helped each other, and that meeting was fate.

Ning Jing just said that the food they brought was not enough.

The four men seemed to have found a reason to attack at once. Two of them stood up and walked to the side of the carriage, saying that they wanted to see if Ning Jing was lying.

Chengyun whispered, "If the two donors have food, give them some."

Su Liang had seen the temperament of this monk before, and he was not angry at all when he heard it. He just quietly closed the book and handed it to Chengyun, "Please keep it for me." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Soon, he was stopped by someone.

"Did you elope with that pretty boy? I'll tell you, pretty boys are the most unreliable. They might sell you out one day. Why don't I take you home?"

"If you don't want to go home, you can follow me!"

Chengyun looked at the two men who teased Su Liang, his face became serious, and he hurried over to rescue her.

Su Liang pushed Chengyun away, "Watch my book!" He kicked the man who was about to reach out to grab him.

At the same time, Ning Jing stopped the two people who wanted to rob the carriage and twisted their wrists expressionlessly.

The screams of slaughtering pigs echoed in the ruined temple.

Chengyun, who was standing in the corner holding the medical book, was shocked. Thinking of the scene of Su Liang holding a knife to stop the big man in the street yesterday, he realized that he had a deep misunderstanding of her. She might really be a doctor, but she was also a cruel doctor...

Su Liang knocked the two men to the ground, and saw a sack behind the seat where they were originally sitting, so he walked over.

When he opened it, he saw a lot of rags stuffed inside, wrapped in a little boy of three or four years old, with his eyes closed.

Su Liang's expression froze, and he quickly took the child out. He checked his breath and found that he was still alive, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Jing came in again and was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Liang holding a child.

Su Liang sighed, "What a good day, I found a baby."
