The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 143 Departure to the provincial capital

"Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your kindness. I've gotten used to this house after living in this house for ten days, and I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so there's no need to bother." Pei Zhiqi politely refused: "When I go back to the provincial capital, I'll ride a horse, brother There is also one horse, two horses and two carts should be enough, and there is no need to bother Gao Zongbing to send a carriage."

Is this treating me as an enemy?Gao Meng smiled and said: "Okay, then according to Mr. Pei's wishes, I wish you a safe journey tomorrow. Gao Meng bids farewell." After finishing speaking, Gao Meng also bowed his hands in salute, and then turned and left.

"Oh, it's time to go." After entering the room, Li Xiaodao sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea for himself and his husband.

Pei Zhiqi also sat down, took a sip of the tea poured by his wife.

"My husband stopped me because he didn't want me to continue asking. Does my husband not want to investigate the Pei family's feud? Although Mr. Gao said that there is no feud in their family, it is obvious that he knows something?" Li Xiaodao asked while looking at him. road.

Pei Zhiqi put down his cup, lowered his head and said softly, "I just want to know that the whole family is safe."

Li Xiaodao thought about it: "If even President Gao knew about this, did father ever serve as a high-ranking official in the capital? And this matter must be very famous, otherwise how could President Gao know about it?"

Li Xiaodao recalled Father Pei's simple and honest appearance, senior official... She found it hard to imagine.

But people should not be judged by their appearance, perhaps father is such a hidden person.

"Anyway, there's no need to investigate this matter again. I don't want my wife to take this risk." Pei Zhiqi looked at Li Xiaodao, and then held her hand: "It doesn't matter to me whether I can go to the capital or not. I just hope My wife is safe, my father and mother are safe, so I am satisfied."

"Then today, Xianggong told him that we are from Baima Village. Doesn't this reveal the whereabouts of the family?" Li Xiaodao worried.

Pei Zhiqi smiled lightly and said: "If he really wants to check, the school inspector in the provincial capital has my roster, and he can know it at a glance, and he can't hide it. Looking at the reaction of General Gao today, it seems that he is not an enemy, maybe it is just someone who knows this. It's just a bystander, if he has the intention to continue the investigation in the future, if he finds him again, I will point it out to him and ask him to stop."

Li Xiaodao patted the back of Xianggong's hand lightly with the other hand: "Okay, I'm relieved in this way." She adjusted her mood and said relaxedly: "Xianggong also pack up your things quickly! You can go home tomorrow!"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and nodded: "Okay."

In the early morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining brightly, which was a good weather for traveling.

The elder brother's family also packed their things. On the way back, they only need to bring one or two meals of dry food. They don't need to bring water, firewood and other messy things. The space in the carriage is much easier in an instant.

Pei Zhiqi said that he also rode a horse. Li Xiaoxin put together a cart for his brother-in-law's horse, plus one of his own, equals two carriages. Each carriage was counted as the driver and carried four or five If a person and a family all take a carriage, even if they walk slowly, they can return to the provincial capital before dark.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaoxin first harnessed his own carriage and led it to the street at the back gate of the state government office, then pulled the cart out to the street, waiting for his brother-in-law to lead the horse out.

Li Xiaodao was also waiting for his husband at the back gate of the state government office with his elder brother.

In the end, when Pei Zhiqi came out, everyone was stunned.

The horse he led had snow-white fur without any variegation. The horse had strong limbs and a tall stature.

"Uh...brother-in-law, are you sure you want to use this horse for a cart?" Li Xiaoxin was in a daze. He couldn't guess how much such a horse would cost. He had seen such a fine horse before, and there was no comparison with this one.

Li Xiaodao was stunned by the horse's appearance, "Master, this horse is..."

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "This is Boss Wan's horse. He borrowed me to ride to Anzhou, and said that he would return it to him after the Japanese riot subsided."

The clerk held the tool for setting the car in his hand, looked at the white horse, then at Pei Zhiqi, then at Li Xiaoxin, and asked cautiously, "Then this car... shall we set it up or not?"

Pei Zhiqi led the horse to him, and said to the clerk, "Let's do it, there is no time to delay, the house must be tidied up before we can live in it when we go back, and it will be troublesome if it gets dark when we go back."

The people have just started to return to the provincial capital slowly, and if they want to stay in a hotel, they must have money and no place to live.

Li Xiaodao chuckled and said, "Master, if Boss Wan knew that you used his horse to tie a cart, he would definitely laugh so hard."

Pei Zhiqi also laughed and said: "The situation forced me to act helplessly, Boss Wan has a lot of people", and after saying that, he handed the reins to the waiter.

While the man was harnessing the car, Mr. Shen from the state government office also came to the back door, exchanged pleasantries with Pei Zhiqi, and said goodbye.

Instead of seeing Mr. Gao, Li Xiaodao felt relieved. Maybe Mr. Gao put down his husband's affairs and no longer paid attention to him.

After the carriage was harnessed and Master Shen said goodbye, Li Xiaodao, Xianggong, brother and his family got into the carriage and cart one after another.

The drivers raised their whips, and the wheels creaked and began to roll. The fleeing life of the fleeing team was finally over and they were going home.

When fleeing, there were many people on the road, but on the way back, only a few people were seen on the road.

I don't know if everyone is still worried about leaving back to the provincial capital later, or if some people fled in all directions, or returned to their hometowns, and will never return to the provincial capital.

"I don't know what the family looks like now," Li Xiaodao said worriedly, resting his head on his arms.

"What do you have to worry about? There is nothing valuable at home," Li Xiaoxin said. Thinking about the herbs in the shop, he couldn't help rubbing his face with his hands.

"Little Douzi!" Li Xiaoxin suddenly shouted forward from the carriage.

"Hey! Master! I have something to tell you!" Xiaodouzi replied.

"After you go back, just make a list of losses and show it to Madam, but don't show it to me, I don't want to see it! I'm afraid I'll faint if I look at it!" Li Xiaoxin shouted.

Hearing that Mrs. Qi wanted to pinch his arm, after thinking for a while, he changed to punching him lightly with his fist: "Shut up, Crow's mouth, don't get me wrong! Maybe we will let us go this time." Where is the shop?"

Li Xiaoxin snorted coldly: "Let it go? Can you let my Baihetang go? The last two times I came here, they robbed me of everything and even smashed my tables and chairs. I think the Japanese pirates are still thinking about it!"

Li Xiaodao hugged the small bamboo basket she insisted on stuffing into the carriage, looked at Mr. Xiang, and then smiled.

She beckoned the husband who was sitting opposite to come over.

Pei Zhiqi leaned forward cooperatively, only to hear the lady whisper in her ear: "Sir, all our family's money is in this bamboo basket, there shouldn't be any big losses."

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Thanks to my lady's extraordinary intelligence."

Hearing the compliment from his husband, Li Xiaodao felt elated.
