Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang originally thought that if he strayed from Xu Mengru's convoy at a different time, he would not run into them on the official road.

But Murphy's Law proves that the less a person wants to encounter something, the higher the probability of encountering it will be.

After traveling on the official road for two days, Chen Lang met Xu Mengru again in the post station.

Both sides were a little embarrassed, and then they made the same decision without any prior agreement.

Pretend not to see!

The next morning, Chen Lang woke up Xiao Qi early and prepared to leave before Xu Mengru and her team's convoy set off.

However, just as the carriage was harnessed, Xu Mengru, leading her maid and guards, also came to where the carriage was parked.

The two sides looked at each other and then turned their heads away guiltily.

Chen Lang muttered, "Fuck, is Murphy's Law really that magical?"

Xiao Qi said, "Sir, the driver over there asked us to go first."

Chen Lang said, "Hurry up, once we get on the official road, spur our horses and whip them. I don't believe we can't get rid of them."

A few hours later, heavy rain fell.

Xiaoqi drove the carriage around looking for a place to shelter from the rain, and finally found an abandoned charity cemetery.

Chen Lang looked up at the cobweb-covered plaque on the charity cemetery and sighed, "If another female ghost comes tonight, this trip won't be like taking an exam, it'll be like watching Liao Zhai (Liao Zhai)."

After entering the charity cemetery, there were indeed a few broken coffins inside, but there were no corpses inside.

Xiaoqi was a little scared and his calves were trembling.

Chen Lang had watched so many horror movies that he was desensitized to them. He even had the energy to joke with Xiao Qi, saying, "Xiao Qi, the young master has something to say to you. You'd better remember it."

Xiaoqi said tremblingly: "Sir, what are you talking about?"

"As long as you are brave enough, the female ghost will be on maternity leave."

Xiao Qi scratched his head: "What if it's a male ghost?"

"Fencing is one of the greatest pleasures in life," said Chen Lang.

Xiao Qi was confused: "Sir, what is fencing?"

Chen Lang gently fanned Xiao Qi on the back of the head: "You are so young, don't ask nonsense."

Xiaoqi felt aggrieved. It was clearly you, sir, who started it, and I didn't ask.

But after being interrupted by Chen Lang, Xiao Qi's fear was greatly reduced. He knelt down and kowtowed to all directions, muttering to himself: "My fellow ghosts, our young master is on his way to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination and is passing by here. We do not mean to disturb you."

"We'll leave after the rain stops. I hope you ghosts will bear with me. When my son passes the imperial examination, I will burn more paper money for you."

Chen Lang did not try to stop Xiao Qi. After all, it is not bad for people to have a little sense of awe.

After Xiao Qi finished reading, he suddenly thought of something and hurried outside to take out a bundle from the carriage. After opening it, he found several stacks of paper money inside.

Chen Lang was dumbfounded: "Xiao Qi, why are you carrying this thing?"

Xiao Qi said, "Aunt Shuihua asked me to bring it with me. She said that the young master would definitely need to stay in the wild during his journey to the exam. If he came across a lonely grave, he should burn some paper for it."

Aunt Shuihua is one of the two maids in the tofu shop.

Chen Lang said, "Aunt Shuihua is quite thoughtful."

"Then you can burn some, just as a bribe to these wandering ghosts, so that they won't embarrass us."

Xiaoqi burned some paper money in the four corners of the main hall of the charity cemetery, and he felt completely at ease.

Next, make a fire, dry clothes, and cook.

Everything is in perfect order.

Until Xu Mengru's convoy arrived...

Xu Mengru ran into the lobby of the charity cemetery in the rain and saw Chen Lang sitting by the campfire baking pancakes. She felt terrible.

Chen Lang rubbed his temples and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Miss Xu, perhaps this is God's will."

"In that case, there's no need for us to avoid each other. Let's just do what we have to do."

"If you'd like to chat with me, I wouldn't mind."

Xu Mengru pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

The Xu family's guards cleared a space on the other side of the lobby and lit a bonfire.

The maid Hong'er ordered the security guard to get two long poles and some stones to make a simple stone pier to clamp the poles, then placed another pole horizontally on top and hung a curtain to completely isolate this part of the space.

The guards went to another room to rest.

After a while, Xiao Qi, who was eating, suddenly screamed, then turned around quickly, his face as red as a monkey's butt.

Chen Lang was about to ask him what was wrong when he caught a glimpse of a curtain not far away from the corner of his eye.

The two girls behind the curtain are changing clothes.

Although only a silhouette can be seen, she is still attractive with her face half covered by the pipa.

Even the state of being in a state of not being able to take off clothes is more tempting than being naked in the eyes of many experienced drivers.

Because such a picture can give men unlimited room for imagination.

This is the current situation.

The silhouettes of the two girls changing clothes were reflected on the curtain. As a novice, Xiao Qi had a lot of thoughts in his mind after just one look.

Although Chen Lang couldn't help but let out some thoughts, he had eaten meat after all, so he wouldn't lose his composure when he saw a shadow.

Chen Lang moved to Xiao Qi's side and teased, "Does it look good?"

Xiaoqi blushed and was speechless.

Chen Lang asked, "Xiao Qi, you are sixteen this year, right?"

Xiao Qi nodded.

"In the countryside, you're old enough to get married." Chen Lang said with a smile, "Do you have a crush on someone? If so, when we return from Prince Qin's Mansion, I'll propose to you."

Xiao Qi's face turned redder and her fingers were almost twisted into a knot. "Sir, I don't have anyone in mind."

Chen Lang patted his shoulder and said, "Then take your time to find a good one."

Xiao Qi hummed in an inaudible voice.

At this time, Xu Mengru and her servant behind the curtain had finished changing their clothes and pulled down the curtain.

Hong'er came over and said, "Mr. Chen, my young lady wants to talk to you."

"please."

Chen Lang stuffed the scone in his hand into Xiao Qi's hand, then walked over to Xu Mengru and sat down, saying, "I wonder what Miss Xu wants to talk to me about?"

Xu Mengru asked, "Are you going to Qinzhou Prefecture to take the exam?"

Chen Lang said: "That's right."

Xu Mengru smiled helplessly: "It seems that we will have to stay together for the rest of the journey."

Chen Lang was slightly surprised and asked, "Miss Xu is going to Qinzhou Prefecture too?"

Xu Mengru said: "Yes, I'm going to take care of some household chores."

"Chen Lang, I was wrong to hire someone to beat you up before. I'm here to solemnly apologize to you. I hope you can accept it."

Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "Miss Xu, there's no need to be so rude. I deserved that beating. If I were you, I wouldn't just beat you up. I'd kill you outright. After all, I was... ahem, a beast back then."

Chen Lang's calmness confused Xu Mengru, who didn't know what to say.

Chen Lang said: "Let's put the past behind us and get to know each other anew."

After saying this, he clasped his fists and bowed.

"I am Chen Lang from Hezhong Village, Nanhe County."

Xu Mengru smiled slightly, stood up and bowed: "I am Xu Mengru from Xu's Cloth Shop."
