When they hurried to Changping County, the sun had already set and night was about to fall.

The moment everyone stepped into the post station, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the past few days, they have been camping in the wild mountains and wilderness, and last night they encountered a violent storm. The cold, dampness, and hunger were intertwined, and they had to endure the bites of mountain mosquitoes. They hardly had a good night's sleep.

Now that we have finally arrived at the post station, we can be sheltered from the wind and rain by the eaves, take a comfortable bath, fill our stomachs, and have a good rest for a whole night.

The post station is divided into two floors, the lobby on the first floor and the rooms on the second floor.

However, the number of rooms in the inn is limited, so Li Mao first arranged rooms for everyone.

He and the yamen runners shared a room, Mo Tianyu and his group shared a room, and the rest of the prisoners shared a room. This allocation was just right, with no extra rooms left over.

In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, yamen runners took turns to be on duty and guard at night.

However, Zhang Dayong and his family were really unwilling to live in the same room with the criminals who had hurt them.

So Zhang Dayong mustered up his courage and asked Li Mao, "Sir, can we go to the firewood room to rest?"

Li Mao was slightly surprised when he heard this request.

He naturally knew why they made such a request. After all, those people had beaten Zhang Dayong before.

Zhang Dayong and the others naturally don't want to stay with these people.

Li Mao agreed to Zhang Dayong's family's request, so as to avoid them being in the same room with those people and causing trouble in the middle of the night.

Li Mao nodded to show his understanding.

"Okay, the woodshed is right behind there, but the conditions there are a bit crude, so you have to be mentally prepared!

Don’t come back and ask to change rooms if you feel uncomfortable, because I’m afraid there won’t be anything you can do.”

Zhang Dayong quickly responded: "Okay, sir, we will never have any complaints. As long as we have a place to stay, we will be grateful."

After saying that, he led his family towards the woodshed, secretly thanking his luck for having a relatively safe place to live.

Although the environment is not good, it is much better than being crowded with those people.

After everything was arranged, everyone returned to their rooms.

Although the conditions in the room were not ideal, it was better than sleeping in the mountains.

After entering the room, Xiaoqing and Xiaoling began to get busy.

They made the beds deftly, carefully smoothing out every wrinkle, ensuring that the beds were soft and comfortable so that their young lady and son-in-law could sleep peacefully.

Seeing this, Long Yi and Long San, who were standing by, also stepped forward to help.

However, while everyone was busy, Mo Tianyu stood up directly from his chair.

This sudden action surprised Xiaoqing and Xiaoling.

Before this, they had never seen Mo Tianyu standing, and they were filled with shock.

Ye Zirou quickly stepped forward and explained to Xiaoqing and Xiaoling, "Xiaoqing, Xiaoling, your uncle was unfortunately poisoned before, which made his legs unable to walk.

Fortunately, he met Doctor Bai on the mountain, and after his treatment, his son-in-law recovered.

But we found that the murderer who poisoned Mo Tianyu has been following us. For safety reasons, we must continue to disguise ourselves. "

After listening to this, Xiaoqing and Xiaoling suddenly understood and nodded to show that they understood.

They said firmly, "Don't worry, Miss, don't worry, we will keep it a secret and will never reveal it."

"Okay!" Ye Zirou nodded in satisfaction in response.

Xiaoqing and Xiaoling looked at Mo Tianyu who stood up and couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.

He has a tall and straight figure, and standing next to his young lady, they look like a perfect match, like a golden boy and a jade girl.

It’s a pity that Mo Tianyu was wearing a mask that covered his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

If Xiaoqing and Xiaoling saw the face behind Mo Tianyu's mask, they would probably be even more surprised.

Afterwards, Ye Zirou prepared to turn around and go to the kitchen to prepare some food for everyone.

After hearing this, Xiaoqing and Xiaoling immediately expressed their willingness to go together and help.

"Miss, let us go with you. We can help you." Xiaoqing and Xiaoling said in unison.

However, Ye Zirou quickly waved her hand to stop them.

"No need, just stay in your room." Her tone was firm and decisive.

"But..." Xiaoqing and Xiaoling tried to continue.

"Don't say buts!" Ye Zirou interrupted them and continued, "How about this, go get some water, everyone should wash up. We haven't showered for so many days, we stink!"

Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Ye Zirou hurriedly pushed them out and said, "Go quickly, and remember to bring back a few more buckets of water."

Ye Zirou secretly complained in her heart.

For someone who has to take a shower every day, the time spent in the cave was a torture.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into the space to take a shower, but she never had a suitable excuse.

She was wet and sweaty and smelled terrible, it was unbearable.

Therefore, she would never allow anyone to follow her and had to find a time to be alone before entering the space.

Mo Tianyu observed all this silently. He felt that Ye Zirou must be hiding something, which was why she refused so firmly. He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Seeing this, Long Yi and Long San tactfully left the room and helped Xiao Qing and the others fetch water.

They hurriedly chased after them. Seeing this, Long Yi stepped forward without hesitation, grabbed Xiao Qing in front of Xiao Ling and Long San, and asked anxiously.

"Miss Xiaoqing, did you fall today? Are you injured anywhere?"

When Xiaoqing saw this situation and there were so many people around, her cheeks turned red instantly, she lowered her head shyly and responded softly.

"No...it's okay."

Xiao Ling saw that Xiao Qing's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and couldn't help feeling puzzled, and asked with concern.

"Xiaoqing, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

Before she finished her words, she reached out and touched Xiaoqing's forehead.

"No... no, no! I'm hot... hot, hot..."

Xiaoqing's face turned even redder, her shyness was evident in her words, and her speech became stuttering and intermittent.

At this moment, Long Yi suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was too worried about Xiaoqing that he ignored the presence of other people around.

His face also turned red instantly.

Seeing this, Long San asked curiously, "Long Yi, why is your face red too? Is it because of the heat?"

Long Yi and Xiao Qing just raised their heads and their eyes met unexpectedly, and then they quickly lowered their heads as if they were electrocuted.

Long San and Xiao Ling looked at them with confusion on their faces - they saw that their faces were flushed, their heads were lowered, and they looked very shy.

Long San looked at the sky curiously and thought: [It's already night, and it's not hot! ]

Then he urged the two of them.

"Hurry up and get some water. The masters are waiting."

Xiaoqing came back to her senses.

"Yes, yes, the lady is still waiting. Xiaoling, let's go quickly."

Long Yi and Long San followed behind.
