Retirement Life - Chapter 42

Mulin County is the most remote county town in Laos, and the nearest county town is also the first county town they passed by during the examination. The dean of the academy received the news that there might be an accident during the examination, so he naturally made some preparations.

Cheng Yan drove to the place where Lin Xiu said. When they arrived, there were already several carriages parked there, and there was a team of guards with knives around. Cheng Yan glanced up at them, slowing down the carriage.

Those guards still have some skills, unlike those of the strong and fast arresters in the Yemen County of Mulin County. It seems that the dean has some background.

The people standing outside or leaning against the carriage and reading with their heads down looked almost six or seven at a glance. If all of them are in the academy, then Cheng Yan can only say that there are many talents in Mulin County. After all, a school can train so many people, and it is no wonder that the person in charge of the academy will personally lead a team to Beijing.

The guards who stood by the side saw a carriage coming over, looked away, and some strong armed guards saw that the person driving the carriage was obviously a trainer, and his eyes were tight.

The other carriages slowly came over, the guards saw it, and the readers reading or chatting naturally also heard or saw it. Cheng Yan drove near the carriage without stopping near them, and Lin Xiu got out of the car and explained to the person in charge of the academy.

After Lin Xiu came over and said to Cheng Yanlin Mo, he simply took something and returned to the academy. There are friends from his classmates who can talk to them in the past. Moreover, Lin Xiu still didn’t want to disturb Cheng Yanlin Mo and their husbands and wives. Without him, they should be more comfortable.

After Lin Xiu passed, others also got into the carriage and set off, and a team of guards turned over and surrounded the carriages. Cheng Yan saw that they had set off and told Lin Mo that he was driving behind him in a carriage.

It takes two days to go from Mulin County to the next place. The official road on their side is still very remote, and there are lush trees on both sides of the road. Fortunately, no bandits have appeared on their side, and their nerves need not be so tight in these two days.

In order to hurry up, at noon they did not stop, and Cheng Yan who followed them was not good enough to stop the carriage, but could only tell Lin Mo who was sitting in the carriage to eat something to fill his belly.

Lin Mo, who had been in the carriage for a morning, was a little upset. He heard Cheng Yan’s voice and took out a package of pastry that Cheng Yan had prepared for him from the dark cabinet. Take the kettle again, and drop a few drops of spiritual spring water into it.

Cheng Yan, who was driving a car, saw Lin Mo getting out of the carriage and sitting next to him, and quickly vacated his hand to support him. “The wind is strong outside, why did you come out?”

“It’s too stuffy inside, and you don’t talk to me, come out to accompany you.” Lin Mo approached Cheng Yan a little, and looked at him with a smile.

“Come in in a while, and the cold wind is easy to get sick.” Cheng Yan held the rope to control the horse in advance, supported the people next to him, and glanced at him.

“Well … let me feed you something.” Lin Mo finished, turned around and took out what he had prepared early in the carriage.

Lin Mo split the paper bag with pastry in half, twisted a hand and reached it in front of his mouth. Cheng Yan opened his mouth and ate, Lin Mo put down his hands and twisted some crisp fingers, and then continued to feed him.

The two ate one by one, and a packet of pastry was soon finished. Lin Mo took a few sips of water and put the kettle in Cheng Yan’s empty left hand.

The carriage speed was slightly slower. After Cheng Yan took a sip of water, she glanced at Lin Mo and continued to drink. Whether it is tea or ordinary water, as long as it is through Lin Mo’s hand, it will become uncommon, and your head will be awake after taking a sip.

Fortunately, this is only the case at home, or only in the presence of Lin’s family and him. Cheng Yan said nothing. He believed that one day Momo would tell him these secrets.

After eating a packet of pastries and drinking some water, Lin Mo was full, but he still took out the siu bian prepared by Lin’s mother and handed it to Cheng Yan, “the siu bian was a bit cold.”

“It’s okay, just go in after eating, your nose will be frozen red.” Cheng Yan took the pancakes and said quickly.

“No rush, I will go in after you finish eating.” Lin Mo touched the tip of his cold nose and didn’t care much. He knows his body. This is not enough to get sick, otherwise he insists on drinking the spiritual spring water every day.

Cheng Yan glanced at him, and finished eating the sesame cake three or two times. Lin Mo saw this and quickly took another one. “Eat one more, and I will go in after drinking some water.”

Lin Mo knew how much he had eaten. A siu kebab and a few pieces of pastry couldn’t eat enough.

“Slow down, don’t you be afraid to eat so fast?”

Cheng Yan heard that he was helpless, but he slowed down a bit. After eating the pancakes and drinking water, Cheng Yan motioned to Lin Mo with his eyes, and he should go in.

At five o’clock in the evening, the carriage in front finally stopped, and Cheng Yan found a suitable place to stop. After Lin Xiu came over, Cheng Yan tied the horse to the tree and picked up some dry branches not far away.

“Four younger brothers, how is your body? Can you stand it?” Lin Xiu came over, glanced at his younger brother’s face, and found that it was not as white as he imagined, but he was still not assured.

“It’s okay, second brother, you can drink some water.” Lin Mo handed him another kettle.

After a long day of driving, although it is sitting in a carriage, the reader who rarely moves can not stand it. Lin Mo looked up at the carriage in front, one or two people had vomited there, and the others’ faces were not much better.

“Is that all right?” Lin Mo asked.

“Are they? It’s okay, and I’ll get used to it in a few days.” Lin Xiu took a sip of water and looked at the people at the academy, saying casually. After all, they have a long way to go, even if they don’t adapt now, there will always be a day to adapt.

“I always feel that the water prepared by my mother can give you some energy.” Lin Xiu said, taking another big sip. When he was at home, he drank it every day. The effect was not obvious, but just after he took a sip, his tiredness seemed to disappear.

“Really? I think so.” Lin Mo smiled lightly.

After Cheng Yan picked up a few bundles of dried branches and returned, Lin Mo and Lin Xiu were ready. Cheng Yan raised the pot, Lin Mo added water to the pot.

Considering Lin Mo’s physical condition, he could not hold hard food all day. Cheng Yan also prepared some small pots and pans and placed them in a dark cabinet in a carriage, not taking up too much space.

The person in charge of the academy also clearly knew the physique of their students, and also used a carriage specially for dry food and pots. When Cheng Yan cooks the contents in the pot on their side, the academy will be almost there.

Cheng Yan took out the cushion from the car, and let Lin Mo sit next to the fire, grilling by the way.

“At today’s pace, we will be able to go to the next county tomorrow afternoon.” Lin Xiu sat aside, sandwiching a piece of cooked meat, said.

“Um.” Lin Mo chewed the meat in his mouth and nodded casually.

“From Mulin County to the next county seat, this journey is not dangerous, but I don’t know after that, the second brother will come with us the day after tomorrow.” Cheng Yan helped Lin Mo clamp a few pieces of meat and whispered.

“Hmm … that’s all it can be.” Lin Xiu paused and nodded.

There are guards over the academy. Since Cheng Yan let him come over, it means that the guards can’t be harmless to the bandits.

After eating, it was already dark, and Cheng Yan packed her things and got into the carriage. Lin Mo just asked the second brother something, and when Cheng Yan came in, he opened the quilt covering him and let Cheng Yan come over.

Cheng Yan’s carriage is relatively large. Even if they sit sideways in the carriage, they can straighten their legs.

Cheng Yan leaned aside after entering, Lin Mo held Cheng Yan’s waist in his arms, covered the quilt on his body, and warmed a lot. After rushing for a day, all three were tired, and soon fell asleep.

But now it’s outside, Cheng Yan didn’t sleep much, and she can wake up as soon as she notices something.

It was the next day when Lin Mo recovered some consciousness. Lin Mo’s eyes widened and he opened his eyes, only feeling that he was swaying under him. It took him a long time to reflect that he was now on the carriage instead of his warm room.

After eating the breakfast that Cheng Yan had prepared for him, Lin Mo got dressed and raised the curtain to sit next to Cheng Yan.

“Did you have breakfast?” Cheng Yan asked, holding the rope in one hand and holding him in the other.

“Eat, what time is it?” Lin Mo leaned next to him and looked around.

“It’s almost noon, and it will be a few more hours.”

Lin Mo nodded and stopped talking, sitting next to Cheng Yan, staring at the surrounding scenery in a daze. Before waiting for Lin Mo to sit outside for a long time, Cheng Yan let him in.

Lin Mo lay inside the quilt after entering, and talked to Cheng Yan from time to time. The carriage wobbled regularly and the warm quilt made Lin Mo feel a little sleepy.

When Cheng Yan didn’t hear Lin Mo’s voice for a long time, he knew that he had slept again.

In the afternoon, a group of them came to the next county seat and drove to the front of a large inn. Cheng Yan parked the carriage at the designated place, and then carried Lin Mo, who was still asleep.

Lin Xiu saw his younger brother being taken out by Cheng Yan, and thought something had happened, and quickly walked over, “What happened to Mo Geer? Is he sick?”

“No, I’m asleep.” Cheng Yan shook her head.

After knowing the reason, Lin Xiu was relieved. Cheng Yan hugged Lin Mo and booked a room. After everything was arranged, Lin Mo also woke up.

It was early in the morning after the two had dinner in the room. Cheng Yan took Lin Mo out for a stroll, and by the way bought some snacks to help him out on the road.

After the two went shopping, Cheng Yan bought some dry food and water a few days later, and they returned to the inn to rest.

I woke up early the next morning, and a group of people started packing after packing. After Lin Xiu and the person in charge of the academy explained the situation, they took Cheng Yan’s carriage.

Going to the next county, this time will take longer, it will take five days. What’s more, the potential danger is secretly unknown. The spirit of guarding around the team also began to stretch.
