Chapter 23 The Garden of Peony
As soon as Yin Tao closed the door, she encountered the elementary school apprentice again, and hurriedly told him to buy some food to come back, and asked him to help him go in and watch it.

The county seat is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is good, but it is not big. The people here are very leisurely, walking slowly on the street.

Yin Tao looked around and saw that a shop selling gruel and steamed buns was doing a good job. She thought it should taste very good.

After finding an empty seat to sit down, Yin Tao ordered a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns.

Touching the purse in my arms, I thought, I'm busy, and I'll buy you something. You won't feel bad if I eat a bowl of porridge and two buns.

While they were eating, they saw three men in yamen costumes walking across the street, passing by the steamed bun shop, grabbing a few buns from the steamer and leaving.

Don't talk about giving money, it's like taking your own things without even a word.

Yin Tao looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's face changed slightly, but the next moment he smiled: "Wu Zoutou, do you want to sit down and have a bowl of porridge?"

The man walking in the middle didn't look back and waved his hand: "I don't have time to drink porridge, so busy?"

Waiting for the people to walk away, the store snorted coldly, and then greeted other customers with a smile.

"Wu Zhaotou?" Yin Tao said in a low voice, this county is really small, so I ran into it as soon as I arrived.

She took the bill immediately and followed from a distance.

In the end, nothing was found, and the man entered the yamen directly.

When Yin Tao bought the buns and went back to the hospital, she found that the boy was gone.

Looking at the tidied up bed, Yin Tao couldn't get back to her senses for a while: "How did he get away with such serious injuries?"

The elementary apprentice rolled his eyes: "He called a carriage to go away? If you won't come back for a long time, who knows if you won't come back?"

After finishing speaking, she glanced at the purse in Yin Tao's hand with contempt.

Yin Tao lowered her head and found that the boy's purse was still in her hands, her face flushed instantly: "I didn't run away with the money, you have to testify for me."

The elementary apprentice snorted coldly: "I know now, but that son doesn't know."

Seeing Yin Tao's embarrassed blushing, he laughed and said, "Haha, I'm kidding you, he said that the money in this purse is the reward for bothering you all the way. He was in a hurry so he left first."

A white eye was given to the apprentice, and he turned around and left.

What a shame, to be tricked by a young apprentice, with 16 taels of silver in the purse in his hand, thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I felt happy, after all, I solved my urgent need-money is a good thing!

I asked someone to find Nansi Street, a quiet alley with three or four families.

Aunt Fang's house lives in the innermost place, and a heavy wooden door is tightly closed. Yin Tao knocked on the door hard, and waited for a long time before someone asked, "Who is it?"

Listen to the voice, young girl.

"I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm from Dongliu Town. My mother is an old acquaintance of Aunt Fang, and she specially asked me to visit Aunt Fang!"

The person inside waited before answering, "Wait a minute, I'll report to Master."

The sound of footsteps went away, and after a while, the heavy door slowly opened, as if another time and space was opened.

A fair-skinned little girl, about 15 years old, smiled at Yin Tao, made a gesture to invite her in, and said, "Girl, please come in, Master is waiting for you inside."

There are many flowers in the yard, most of which are peonies, which are in full bloom.

The windows of the two wing rooms were opened, and some young girls were sitting embroidering, with their heads lowered, but they kept glancing at Yin Tao from the corner of their eyes. So many people were silent.

The whole garden seems to have lost a trace of vitality!
