Chapter 212 Leaving
Then he put his hand in from the waist, caressing it while staring at Ning Yan with malicious eyes and said: "Really not familiar with it?"
Ning Qian involuntarily raised his body. After taking a breath, he raised his knee and nudged Huo Xi's thigh. He said to him uncomfortably, "It's time to get up and have breakfast."
The two sons had gone out long ago, and their two fathers had not yet gotten up.
"I'm eating." Huo said, then lowered his head and kissed her.
A pair of hands were not idle either.
The fierce kiss left Ning Yan helpless.
He unconsciously raised his arms and hugged Huo Xi's neck, his lips and teeth entwined with his, their skin touching.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo? groaned and fell directly on Ning Yan as if he had released his strength, and then he gasped heavily.
It was not until then that Ning Yan realized what he and Huo Yan had done.
It was raining heavily outside the door. Occasionally, I could hear some voices coming from the pergola and the sounds of a few children playing.
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the room was rather quiet, and for a moment the only sound was the heavy breathing of the two people.
Ning Yan felt a little embarrassed and slapped Huo Yu on the waist, saying, "Aren't you afraid that your two sons will come in?"
"It's okay, I'm listening to the noise." Huo Yan rubbed Ning Yan's neck and answered in a good mood.
What happened today was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it was also quite exciting, and Huo? was very satisfied.
Ning Yan fell silent after hearing this. It was already done, and complaining about it would be hypocritical. Besides, Huo was not the only one who felt comfortable.
After calming his breathing, Ning Yan took out some water from the water bucket. Huo cleaned both of them and washed them before going out to prepare breakfast.
It was almost the hour of Si now. Everyone in the house had already had breakfast, including the two sons. Ning Jian and Huo Yan were the last to arrive.
Aunt Zhou left breakfast in the pot for them. Ning Yan and Huo Yan ate breakfast while discussing with everyone about preparations for departure the day after tomorrow.
No one expressed any opinion on when to set off. They all followed the instructions of Huo and Ning Jian. They were only responsible for packing up their things.
Ox carts and horse carts are hard to buy, but Old Man Zhou and Uncle Duan built three carts that can be used to load things. When the time comes, they can take turns pulling and pushing the carts.
There are still more than a dozen chickens and ducks left. I will slaughter them all and pickle them with salt. I will take them out to dry in the sun for a day tomorrow and then I can take them on the road.
They consume meat quickly and don't worry about it going bad.
Then I made some steamed buns, some flatbreads, and used some previously dried vegetables to make some pickles, which I ate with the flatbreads on the way.
They didn't want the unripe fruits and vegetables in the fields, and only took away the remaining food and fruits.
After everything was packed up, the day for their departure soon arrived.
However, during this period, a major event occurred.
On the first sunny day after the rain, the government office in the city posted a notice saying that the current emperor had passed away due to illness, and the whole country of Donglin was in mourning. No one was allowed to hold any form of entertainment activities.
Shops were allowed to conduct business, but loud noises were not allowed. Shops were required to hang white silk at the doors, and the people were required to wear white clothes to express their mourning for the death of the emperor.
In addition, due to the sudden death of the emperor and the lack of a crown prince, the second prince is temporarily in charge of government affairs.
When Huo heard the news, he did not take it to heart. Who would be the emperor had little to do with them, and it would not delay their journey. They just had to wear white clothes and hang a white silk on the car when they set off.
On the day of departure, just after midnight, Huo Yan took Ning Yan to the city.
The two sons were already asleep, so they were left in Suifeng's care.
Huo took Ning Yan directly to the largest cloth shop in the city. He jumped into the yard first, knocked out the people inside, then brought Ning Yan in and went to their warehouse, where the cloth was stored.
All the cloth in the warehouse was put into the space.
In addition to this store, they also went to a charcoal shop and took away most of the charcoal there.
Afterwards, he went to two other cloth shops and took away most of the cloth and cotton.
After that, Huo took Ning Yan back directly.
At the beginning of the Mao hour, Aunt Zhou and the others got up to make breakfast, and by the time they finished their breakfast, it was just the Chen hour.
Then they loaded their things onto the car, left a message for the neighbor next door, and set off directly with a horse-drawn carriage and three carts.
The house opposite has been bought by Shang Chenyi and his friends, and there are people guarding it. Shang Chenyi and his friends occasionally come here to stay for a night.
However, the two of them seemed to be very busy recently and didn't come often. They hadn't been seen in the past few days, so Ning Yan only left them a verbal message.
It’s a sunny day today. After being trapped by heavy rain for a few days, many people have come out.
They met a lot of people along the way, and they were all a little jealous of Ning Yan and his group because there seemed to be a lot of things in the car.
Some of them, although not hungry, had never eaten their fill, so when they saw so many cars full of things, they couldn't help but have other thoughts.
However, since they were in the provincial capital and there were soldiers patrolling everywhere, no one would take action rashly.
Huo? They didn't care too much about other people's eyes, and just walked slowly towards the north gate of the city.
However, some people were a little puzzled. Judging from Huo's behavior, he seemed to be planning to leave Guangfeng City. But where could he go now? This place was already under the Emperor's feet. Could there be any other place better than this?
Someone he knew happened to see them and asked in their direction, "Brother Zhou, where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Youfeng looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was the owner of a jewelry store. He used to buy watermelons from them often.
So he replied: "I just think the water here is not tasty, and I plan to find another place."
This answer was something they had discussed with Huo Yan and Ning Gang. They had been selling melons in the city before and had made some acquaintances. Their actions would inevitably lead to questions, so they came up with such an ambiguous answer.
It provides a reminder without sounding alarmist. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to your own judgment.
When the shopkeeper heard this reason, he didn't take it too seriously. He just thought that Brother Zhou was being so pretentious. It was raining, so some rainwater got into the water, so it tasted different from usual. It was perfectly normal. He was really surprised by something unusual.
So he waved goodbye to Zhou Youfeng.
But when I think about not having melons to eat in the future, I still feel a little reluctant.
But then he thought about the seeds of the melons he had eaten before, which he had thrown into the ground. Now they had sprouted and grown vines, and his mood became better again. Maybe he would be able to be self-sufficient in the future.
