Chapter 292 Sleepover
The sky was gloomy, and the strong wind blew the steamed air on the ground onto his face, and the dull earthy smell rushed into his nose.

A carriage was running on the official road, and the driver frowned and looked up at the thickening dark clouds, then raised his whip to urge the horse.

"I have to find a place to stay. It's going to rain." Jing Yunyan looked around, hoping to find a hunter on the hill to stay overnight.

It’s okay to say that it’s raining lightly, but the wind is blowing so hard that it’s bound to rain heavily. When the rain hits the car, people and luggage will get wet.

Shu Yingtong nodded in agreement, "I remember that there is a fork in the road two miles ahead, and there is a village over there."

It has been three days since I left home.

He traveled during the day, slept directly in the carriage at night, fed the horses at dawn and began to travel again.

If you can, find a small river and take a bath in the dark water, if you can't, you can use the spiritual spring water in the space to wipe your body.

The weather is hot, the clothes are thin, and the clothes are dried overnight after washing.

Hurrying back, the two tried their best not to make themselves look disheveled and sloppy.

The air pressure was getting lower and lower, and the miscellaneous trees on the roadside were bent by the strong wind. The strong wind rolled small stones and broken leaves and blew towards the two of them, and the sound of thunder was faintly brewing.

"Go inside, it's too windy!" Jing Yunyan spat out the sand and gravel blown into his mouth after he finished speaking.

Shu Yingtong entered the car in response, took out the outdoor tent in the space, and stretched out his hand out of the car window. A few drops of rain had already hit his hand, and the density was not high.

She lifted the curtain of the car and stuck her head out to lean on his shoulder and said, "I won't go into the village anymore, let's find a higher place to camp."

Entering the village has to deal with lodging, which is troublesome.

"No, you stay inside obediently, I'll hurry up!" He refused, shook the reins and shouted loudly to urge the horse to speed up.

Even knowing that she has camping equipment, can she have a house to live comfortably?
If it rains continuously all night, I won't even be able to move around.

Jing Yunyan became strong, but Shu Yingtong had nothing to do with him, so he had to obediently go back to the carriage and sit down.

Glancing at the contents of the compartment, she began to reach out and touch each item.

Everything was put into the space, only the toiletries and clothes were left.

The whole carriage suddenly lit up for a moment, and there was a click, followed by a deafening rumbling thunder that seemed to hit the top of the head.

A hand came in, and Shu Yingtong reached out to hold it speechlessly, "I'm really not afraid of thunder..."

"Well, I know." He raised his voice solemnly outside, with a faint smile.

"I'm convinced..." She let out a frustrated breath and let go of his hand, carried her things out and half knelt by his side to put on a bamboo hat and poncho for him.

The rain was heavy, but the sky was brighter.

In the evening, the wind and rain were swaying, and the village shrouded in rain curtains was quietly located at the foot of the mountains.

Shu Yingtong lifted the curtain of the car to look out, frowning.

No one in this village walks outside.

Although it is raining heavily, there will be people who go out or rush home in coir raincoats.

There will also be children playing under their own roof.

It shouldn't be this lifeless look.

Jing Yunyan drove the carriage and chose a small courtyard with a fence nearby, "Tongtong, wait for me here first, and I'll ask if I can stay overnight."

Shu Yingtong handed over his medicine box.

The door of this family's house was closed tightly, but the chimney was emitting smoke, which obviously belonged to someone.

Judging from the distance from Fanling City here, it is likely that someone was found to be infected with smallpox and did not dare to poke outside.

Jing Yunyan put the medicine box on his shoulders, jumped over the half-person-high fence and walked directly inside.

There were still voices inside, but when he knocked on the door, it immediately fell silent, and no one answered.

"Is anyone home? I'm passing by for a night~"

It was silent inside.

On the contrary, the door of the thatched shed to the west was slightly opened, and a pair of black eyes looked out curiously.

A straight gaze fell on his face, and Jing Yunyan turned his head to look at it almost at the same time, raised his smiling face and shouted over there: "My wife and I are going to visit relatives in Hui County, passing by your village, the rain is too heavy , would like to spend one night at your house, the cost of board and lodging is easy to negotiate~"

He pointed to the carriage parked outside, and shifted the wooden box to his left shoulder.

"Mother, he's a doctor! He." The crisp female voice carried a little surprise.

"Don't talk!" An angry low voice interrupted her, and then raised her voice to reply, "It's raining at home, there are no extra rooms, you should go to another house and ask~"

Jing Yunyan raised his eyebrows, walked over there, stood in front of the door and said kindly, "We are from Yishi City, and our family is in the business of medicinal materials. Don't worry, sister-in-law, we are a serious and innocent family. .”

There was a dry cough from inside, "I didn't mean that." She was silent for a while, then hesitated to ask, "Then you leave early tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, whether it rains or not, we will leave at dawn." He said this with a gentle smile on his face.

"That's fine." She opened the door slowly, her gaze swiveled around his face, she was slightly relieved to see him calmly allowing her to look at him.

Her family lives at the entrance of the village, as long as she doesn't enter the village, it shouldn't be a big deal to stay for one night.

"Thank you." Jing Yunyan cupped his hands, strode out, brought the carriage in and placed it under the eaves of the thatched shed.

This household was chosen because there was a large space where the firewood was placed under the eaves to park a carriage.

Shu Yingtong got out of the carriage, took Jing Yunyan's bamboo hat and hung it on the shaft, and glanced at the little girl poking her head out at the corner.

Qi bangs with double buns, patched neckline, withered yellow hair and a thin face.

Malnutrition can be seen at a glance.

She smiled, and the little girl shyly grinned and shrank back.

"Chuntao, serve the dishes." The woman patted her arm, grabbed the apron and wiped her hands nervously and walked out of the corner, her face a little embarrassed.

"I only made some bean rice at home, and there is no food. I don't know if you two can get used to it."

As soon as Shu Yingtong saw the mud house with cracks everywhere, he knew that the house was not rich, and the tiles could not be built, and the living conditions could be imagined.

"We brought food, just borrow the stove." She declined the woman's kindness, and got out of the car with a small basket.

Ordinary farmers, if they don't say hello in advance, they won't cook more meals for two people.

There is a ration of how much to eat for each meal. If she agrees, the family will make more or the host will eat less.

"Ah, yes, yes." The woman obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and led the two towards the kitchen.

"This is the oil tank, this is the salt tank, and the water tank is over there, do you want me to help?" She introduced the placement of the items one by one, seeing that they were well-dressed, and asked casually.

"No, we can do it ourselves." Shu Yingtong signaled Jing Yunyan to go over to light the fire, and took the basket to dig things out on the cutting board.

The woman looked in amazement at Jing Yunyan's skillful grasping of the kindling thatch and lighting it to set up firewood, and she knew that she had done a lot of work.

It's the first time I've seen a rich man who is good-looking and willing to help his wife with work
