The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Everything was settled peacefully. Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an got on a carriage and left Fenglai Town, heading straight for Jiaqing Mansion.

Delayed by what happened in the morning, the three of them hurried but still missed the time to enter the city. Looking at the city gate not far away, Ru Yue felt annoyed. Was she going to have to sleep outdoors again?

"Girl, it's all my fault. I prevented you two from entering the city." The coachman urged them to hurry up all the way, but he was still a step behind. The old man was worried.

"Uncle, you're overthinking it. You've already tried your best. Let's think of another way. If it doesn't work, we can only stay at the city gate and go into the city tomorrow morning." Chu Ning'an knew that Ru Yue was so tired that she didn't even want to talk, so he took over the driver's words.

As soon as it got dark, many people who couldn't get into the city were still crowding near the city gate, disturbing the soldiers guarding the city and shouting, "Stay away from the city gate. We will not be polite if you dare to come near here again. Be careful of arrows." It was simple and crude, but it had to be said that it was very effective, and people had to move away again.

Chu Ning'an noticed a young man walking back from the city gate and hurriedly went to greet him with a bow, saying, "Excuse me, sir, but I'd like to ask, now that the city gate is closed, do so many people have to sleep outside the city tonight?"

The man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a gentle appearance. Judging from his clothes, he must be from a wealthy family. He glanced at Chu Ning'an, bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "In the past, after the city gates were closed, it was possible to enter the city by spending three or five taels of silver. But today, the soldiers guarding the city are particularly fierce. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in even if you pay. Brother, you should find another way to spend the night. Don't disturb your family and yourself."

After saying this, without waiting for Chu Ning'an to say anything more, he bowed again and left on his own, probably to arrange his rest for the night.

Chu Ning'an hurried back to the carriage and told Ru Yue the news he had heard. The two looked at the situation around them and guessed that they might not be able to enter the city tonight and would have to sleep in the wilderness again. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This was probably not the first time the old driver had encountered such a situation. While everyone was in a panic, he had found a lot of dry branches. It was almost winter now, and the sun was warm during the day, but it was quite cold at night.

The three of them thought that since they couldn't enter the city, they might as well make a fire and prepare food. Fortunately, they brought a lot of extra things with them this morning in order to hurry on their way. It seems that all they can do is to live by fate.

After eating, the three of them gathered around the fire and made some hot tea to keep warm. They looked at a few bonfires lit around them. Most people were still sitting together in a few carriages. They probably didn't even prepare any food and just wanted to make do with what they had to spend the night.

"Brother, I don't want to live in the carriage. I'm so hungry!" A spoiled girl's voice came from far away. "Brother, I'm so cold. I want to eat shredded chicken and tofu soup. Brother, I want to eat braised lion's head. Brother..."

"Sumin, stop talking. Do you want everyone to know that I, the eldest daughter of the He family, am such an ignorant person?" Her voice was filled with deep helplessness and depression, as well as a barely perceptible sharpness.

"Hmph, who dares to fabricate faults against me like this? I'll have his mouth ripped out." The cruelty in his voice was chilling.

Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue were too lazy to look up. They took the teapot from the small clay stove and filled it for the old driver, and then added some for each other. They saw disgust in each other's eyes, and both thought to themselves that the driver should not come to their side.

But it was obvious that none of the gods heard their prayers. A familiar voice came from above the three of them, "Excuse me, brother."

The three of them had to look up, and Chu Ning'an immediately stood up to return the greeting, "It's you, brother. Is there anything I can help you with?" This man was the one Chu Ning'an had inquired about the situation in front of the city gate.

Ru Yue originally disliked the rude and unruly voice, but from Chu Ning'an's words, she heard that he was acquainted with the visitor, so she immediately stood up and nodded slightly to him.

"What a coincidence, it turns out to be you, brother." The man's tone was filled with deep surprise.

Judging from the situation, the brother and sister came to their place to eat, drink and roast food, but it was obvious that the sister was not a good person. Ru Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. Why do annoying people always have to get close to others?

"Ru Yue, this is the brother I just told you about who helped me solve my problems in front of the city gate." Chu Ning'an knew that Ru Yue didn't like that female voice, but it was not easy to refuse them after getting their help.

Ru Yue bowed and said, "Hello, sir. Thank you for clearing up my confusion earlier."

The man took one look at Ru Yue and his eyes suddenly lit up. What a beautiful girl! Just as he was about to return the favor, he was...

"Brother, is this young man your classmate?" Chu Ning'an was about to introduce Ru Yue when a sweet and artificial female voice suddenly interrupted, making everyone tremble.

The man shook his head helplessly, bowed slightly to Ru Yue and nodded, "Excuse me, this is my sister, sorry to bother you two. It's late today and we can't go into the city, and we haven't prepared anything, so we wanted to ask for your help." There was also a hint of embarrassment in the man's voice.
