The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 260 Sleepover
"Ms. sir, if you want to thank Mr. Jing and the others, it won't be too late to write to me after the injury is healed. The doctor said you need to stay in bed and rest." Mrs. Wen quickly held the two of them down and said with some complaint.

When Magistrate Wen heard what Madam said, he felt troubled and couldn't tell. He had been keeping the identity of Mr. Su a secret and hadn't even told his family. Why did he suddenly come to Wen's Mansion to visit him? He was flattered. At the same time, I felt a little uneasy.

"Master Wen, do you know who the person who shot you was?" Su Chenyu asked.

"Mr. Su, I didn't see his appearance. I only saw a man wearing a black suit. He was actually masked. I couldn't see what he looked like. I only knew that this man was taller than the average adult man. They must all be tall and strong, and this person's skills are also very fast, and he disappears after just a few breaths." Magistrate Wen said with memories on his face.

Wen Yuan said angrily: "It must be related to the Feng family, but there is no evidence, and we have no way to take revenge."

Su Chenyu said: "This matter must be investigated clearly. As the prefect of a city, Wen Zhifu is a fourth-rank official appointed by the imperial court. Who is so bold and wants to assassinate him like this? This clearly does not take the imperial court into consideration. The Feng family must also check."

Wen Yuan said: "But I don't have any clue about this. Where should I start to investigate?"

Su Chenyu glanced at Jing Chen and said, "Leave this to us!"

Wen Yuan said: "Thank you Mr. Su for your help, but we don't have any idea about this matter. Where should we start to investigate?"

Su Chenyu said: "Let's start the investigation from the Feng family you mentioned! Since his request to marry Miss Wen was rejected, he is filled with hatred and is very likely to find someone to take revenge."

Wen Yuan said: "So we are going to Xuanyang City?"

Su Chenyu shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "Cousin, what do you think? I have nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go there."

Jing Chen said: "Go!"

Wen Yuan said: "I must go with you!"

Su Chenyu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Mr. Jing, thank you Mr. Su." Magistrate Wen said gratefully. He couldn't get up to thank him, so he could only lie on the bed and clasp his fists.

Su Chenyu said: "You're welcome, Mr. Wen, you are a good official, and this injury cannot be in vain."

Qibao said: "Let's go out. I think Uncle Wen has talked enough. This is not conducive to his rest."

A few people nodded and left the room.

"Cousin, when should we set off?" Su Chenyu said.

"You can do it at any time. It will take two or three days to get to Xuanyang City from here." Jing Chen said.

"Okay, let's go there after eating. I'm a little hungry now!" Su Chenyu patted his stomach and said.

After several people had eaten, they planned to set off. Mrs. Wen and Wen Die sent them to the door.

"You must pay attention to safety along the way!" Mrs. Wen said.

Several people nodded.

Wen Die looked at Xu Wenwu with a look of reluctance. Xu Wenwu nodded lightly towards her and said softly: "Don't worry, we will be back soon."

Because several people can ride horses, they also rode horses this time, but they were not in a hurry and did not rush as fast as yesterday.

At noon, they found a passing restaurant to fill their stomachs and continued on their way.

We found an inn to stay at that night, and the journey was not very difficult.

When it got dark on the third night, they arrived at an open area twenty or thirty miles away from Xuanyang City.

Su Chenyu said: "I'm afraid we can't enter the city now, and there are no inns outside the city. Do we have to stay out all night?"

"Look there is a village there, why don't we go there and find a place to live?" Wen Yuan said, pointing to a village not far from them.

Xu Wenwu nodded and said: "That's all it can do." After a few people entered the village, they found that the village was very quiet, and some could vaguely see the flickering candlelight inside.

Su Chenyu stepped forward and knocked on a door.

Suddenly a lady's roar came from inside...

"Get out! I won't agree to it even if I die! Even if my whole family is burned to death here today, I won't let you take my daughter away!"

Su Chenyu and others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

Su Chenyu could only say loudly: "Auntie, you misunderstood. We are outsiders passing through here. It is already dark and the city gate is locked, so we want to stay at your house for the night."

It was quiet for a moment, and suddenly a small square wooden board on the wooden door was pushed open from the inside, revealing half of the face staring at Su Chenyu and others outside.

Su Chenyu was so close that he was almost startled by this half of his face.

The woman seemed to be slightly relieved, and then said: "You guys should go! My family may be in trouble tonight, and it's really not convenient for you to stay here."

Su Chenyu knew from the woman's roar just now that this family must be in trouble.

So he said, "Auntie, can you tell me what happened at your house?"

The woman's bloodshot eyes stared at Su Chenyu, she shed two lines of clear tears, and said: "Young master, you better not listen anymore, maybe after tonight our family may no longer be in this world." After saying that, she put down the small piece of wood and turned around. gone back.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but you don’t know what’s going on.

Wenyuan said: "Let's try another one."

Su Chenyu nodded, then went to the villager's house next door with a walled courtyard and knocked on it.

From the low courtyard wall, you can see a middle-aged woman holding a candle in the courtyard.

Hearing the knock on the door, he opened the door without hesitation.

"Come in! I just heard the conversation between you and the neighbor. The house is simple, so it's best for you not to dislike it," the woman said.

Su Chenyu said: "Thank you aunt for taking me in, but we won't live in vain, we will give you money."

As soon as you walked in, you could tell that this family was not having a good life, and the few people who were still a little hungry were too embarrassed to ask the owner for food.

The woman said: "Okay! Just give it to me. I see that the clothes you are wearing are from wealthy families, so I will accept them. If a poor person comes to stay at my house, I will not accept the money."

Su Chenyu said: "Auntie is right, I'm sorry to bother you."

The woman said: "I am the only one in the family. My husband-in-law and son are in the city and cannot come back tonight. There are still two rooms. As soon as this lady chats, you boys can squeeze into the remaining one. Come on, you can sleep, and I'll change the quilt for you into a clean one."

Several people nodded and thanked them.

The woman said: "You haven't eaten yet, right? If you don't mind, I'll cook some rice porridge for you, and eat it with my pickled vegetables. It's delicious if you should drink it."

Su Chenyu said: "It's really troublesome, auntie, but don't worry, we will pay for the food."

The woman nodded and started to work. Several people sat aside and watched the woman open a small cloth bag, which contained white rice, and they were careful not to spill any grains.

"Auntie, what happened next door?" Su Chenyu asked in confusion.

The woman sighed and said: "It's also a hard life. Do you think that if we ordinary poor people have a pretty girl in their family, will they be taken care of by bad people? No one dares to come out to make the decision! We are also offended. I can’t afford it, the people who suffer the most are us ordinary people with no money and power!”
