Chapter 191 Thrilling at the Doorstep
Originally, Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi planned to leave the provincial capital to go home on September , but brother Li Xiaoxin's medical clinic had to be entrusted to someone who could trust him, and he had to arrange for a doctor to sit in the office. I didn't go home, and I had to pack a lot of luggage, which was delayed a lot. The team back home didn't start until October th.

Xiao Xizi officially finished running errands with Li Xiaodao, and was about to return to Wanfu. Li Xiaodao gave him ten taels of silver as an extra reward for his hard work. The day before Li Xiaodao went back, Xiao Xizi cried so much It's snot and tears.

"Miss Li treats me so well... She never beats or scolds, she is easy on the errand, she gave me so much money back, plus the money I saved, it is enough to redeem me..." Xiao Xizi sobbed.

"Don't cry, silly boy, then quickly redeem yourself, be a free man, marry a daughter-in-law, and live a good life," Li Xiaodao smiled at him.

Having said that, Xiao Xizi cried even harder.

Before departure, Li Xiaodao also went to bid farewell to Boss Wan. Wan Yushan sighed, and said very reluctantly, as long as Li Xiaodao came to the provincial capital in the future, he must be told that the waist card was also valid forever, and he could enter his Wanfu at any time. The door, as long as you come, you will definitely treat each other with the courtesy of a distinguished guest.

Xianggong also went to the academy to say goodbye to his teachers and classmates, and packed his luggage. On October th, Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi, together with Li Xiaoxin and Qi Shi, formed a team to go home in two carriages. Depart back to Jinsha Town.

Neither of the two carriages called for a driver, Li Xiaoxin drove Qi Shi, and Pei Zhiqi carried Li Xiaodao in the other, driving one after the other.

On the way home, Pei Zhiqi walked through it once when he came to the provincial capital, and Li Xiaoxin was also familiar with it, so it was easy to arrange the itinerary, and he could stay at the inn every night.

The five-day journey back to the hometown went smoothly, and when they arrived at Jinsha Town, the two carriages separated, one drove to Li Xiaodao's house, and the other drove to Baima Village.

"My husband! I'm almost home!" Li Xiaodao excitedly opened the curtain in front of the carriage. Although the roadside scenery hadn't been seen for almost a year, it was still very familiar.

Familiar mountains, familiar rivers, familiar paths, and familiar villages.

Although I have experienced many things in less than a year, as long as I come back here, my mood will be inexplicably better.

"I wonder if the flowers in our yard are still alive!" Li Xiaodao said with a smile.

"Mother should be able to take care of her, she should still be alive," Pei Zhiqi also replied with a smile.

"I don't know if my parents have received the letter we sent last month saying we would come back."

"It's been more than half a month, and it should be received five days ago at the latest."

"Ok!"

When he was almost home, Pei Zhiqi couldn't help driving the horse even faster.A villager working in the field at the entrance of the village heard the sound of the carriage and looked up, seeing Pei Zhiqi coming back in the carriage, he shouted loudly: "Master Juren has returned to the village—" After shouting, he came up from the field and trotted Go back to the village and report to the villagers.

finally arrived at home.

Pei Zhiqi took the reins to stop the horse, then got out of the carriage, tied the horse to a tree by the side of the road, and took the lady out of the carriage.

What surprised Pei Zhiqi was that the carriages were all parked in front of the house, but the courtyard door was still closed.

In the past, he and his wife went to the market in Jinsha Town, and when they came back, their mother could hear the sound of walking and laughing, and opened the courtyard door early.

The sound of the carriage was so loud today, it was impossible for my mother not to open the door, and she had written a letter before, saying that she would be home today.

A kind of uneasiness rushed into Pei Zhiqi's heart.

"Sir, what's the matter? Why don't you go in while standing at the door?" Li Xiaodao asked puzzled.

"Lady, wait, something is wrong. The house is too quiet, and the door is not open."

"Ms. Xianggong said..." Li Xiaodao gasped after hearing what Xianggong said, and she hurriedly covered her surprised mouth.

Will not!Will not!Parents are such good people!Can't!
"Sanggong! Then we have to go in and have a look!" Li Xiaodao said anxiously.

"No, if the villain has not left and set up an ambush inside, we will fall into the trap if we go in."

Pei Zhiqi felt heartbroken at this moment, but reason told him not to enter the door rashly.

Tears welled up in Li Xiaodao's eyes, she cried and shook her head, "I don't believe...it's impossible..."

Pei Zhiqi went to the back of the carriage, took down the sword, and asked Li Xiaodao, "Miss, do you have your lancet?"

Li Xiaodao wiped away his tears and nodded, "Well, I wear it all the time."

"It's natural to go in, but you have to be prepared first." Pei Zhiqi took a few deep breaths, walked to the door, and was about to push the door open, but found a loud voice coming from the side.

A large group of villagers walked and ran, and came to the gate of Pei's courtyard in a mighty way.

Before Pei Zhiqi could open the door, the villagers rushed forward, rushed the door open, and shouted "Master Juren is back!" "Juren Pei is back!"

Surrounded by the villagers, Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi entered the yard, chatting lively.

Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi hurriedly looked around the yard after entering the door. They didn't see what they were afraid of, and there was no trace of blood. There was not even a trace of fighting in the yard. The flowers were in good bloom and everything was neatly arranged. , and even some things outside were covered with oilcloth, and it looked like they were fully prepared before going out.

But before he entered the room, Li Xiaodao was in a panic, and Pei Zhiqi was also nervous.

"Pei Juren! Why did you come back only now!" Among the chattering crowd, the village chief stood in the middle and asked Pei Zhi with a smile.

"We were waiting for the list in the provincial capital, and some things were delayed for a while, so we came back late." Pei Zhiqi replied: "Dare to ask the village chief, my parents..."

Not sure if the villagers would know something, Pei Zhiqi decided to ask first.

The village head laughed and said, "The old sister and her husband were picked up by a very impressive carriage about five or six days ago, with officers and soldiers guarding them. We thought you sent someone to pick them up!"

Pei Zhiqi was surprised and said, "Picked up in a magnificent carriage? This..."

Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao heaved a sigh of relief at the words of the village chief, but at the same time they hung their hearts.

The village chief asked strangely: "So you don't know, Mr. Juren? It's not the carriage you called?"

Pei Zhiqi shook his head: "No."

"Oh! Then you just came back, and the house was not cleaned up. I asked some hard-working women to clean up the house for you two!"

Just when the village chief raised his hand to call for someone, Pei Zhiqi hurriedly stopped the village chief and said, "No need, I appreciate the village chief's kindness, but we don't live here tonight, and the house doesn't need to be tidied up."

After hearing this, Li Xiaodao looked at Mr. Xianggong in surprise, staying at home?Where do you live?What are your plans?
"Oh... thinking about it, you must go to the old sister and the couple," the village head said after pondering.

"Does the village chief know where my father and mother went in a carriage?"

"We don't know about that. Those officers and soldiers who dare to come forward to look around, let alone talk to them. Why, even you don't know where they are?"

Pei Zhiqi shook his head: "I...don't know."

The village chief patted Pei Zhiqi on the shoulder: "Then don't worry, they must have written you a letter telling you where they went, but you missed it and didn't receive it, look around in the house later, maybe there is a note saying where they went .”

Pei Zhiqi nodded thoughtfully: "Well... Thank you, village chief."
