Chapter 503 504 What Does a Bad Guy Look Like?

The carriage moved slowly towards the Zhou family's cemetery and arrived at the Zhou family's cemetery at the end of the day.

After the group of people came out to worship, a drizzle began to fall in the sky. They met Mr. Zhou at the intersection. Brother Zhou Yu came behind carrying the sacrifices. When the two brothers saw Li Yu and his party, they stopped and their eyes were gloomy. He looked at Li Yu and his party.

Mr. Zhou turned around and patted them both, "Why are you standing here if you don't want to leave?"

Zhou Yu spat and scoffed: "Can you care?"

Mr. Zhou was so angry that he said, "I'm too lazy to care about you. Just follow that family's example. You will be the unlucky one." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Yu took the child back to the car, and Yangyang asked strangely, "Mom, who are those two people? Why are they rude to my uncle?"

Li Yu thought of Zhou Yu's gloomy eyes and frowned, "Those two are your uncle's sons. It's wrong for them to do that. No matter when you see them, you don't have to pay attention to them."

Yangyang nodded, "Yeah! Their eyes are so scary. They don't look like good people at first glance."

"Some bad guys can be seen at a glance, while others are hard to tell from their appearance. What kind of person they are must be judged by what they do."

Qijin looked at Li Yu and said, "Madam, that brother just now is the kind who can be seen at a glance."

Li Yu rubbed their heads and nodded with a smile, "Yes, they are the kind that are damaged on the skin, and the other kind require us to distinguish them carefully."

Yang Yang thought about it and said to Qijin: "Brother Qijin, and Uncle Liu, he looks a bit fierce, but he is not scary."

Li Yu leaned against the car and listened to the two of them discussing who looked like a bad guy and who didn't. The car slowly returned to the city.

It rained continuously for several days, and then it cleared up. Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhou took Yangyang, Qijin and Xiaoba to a hot spring village outside the city.

A large group of people played in the hot spring village for two days before returning home. Yangyang happily said to Li Yu: "Mom, Brother Qijin and I can swim. Brother Nilu taught me."

Seeing his bright eyes, Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I can't go swimming in the river. If you like, I will take you to Zhuangzi to swim in the future."

"Why can't you swim in the river?" Yang Yang asked.

Li Yu pulled him to him and said solemnly: "The water in the river is very deep, the current is very fast, and there are aquatic plants and rocks in the river. If something happens, we won't be able to see our parents and brothers. We will sad."

Yangyang looked at Li Yu and nodded, "Mom, if I don't go, I don't want to miss you, and I don't want you to be sad."

Li Yu picked him up and kissed him. Yangyang looked at Li Yu a little nervously, "Mom, sir, we are grown children and we can no longer be held by our parents."

A child under six years old said that he was a big child. Li Yu smiled and kissed him again, "Yeah! Mom, just give me a hug for my big baby."

Yangyang looked at Li Yu, "Mom, when will daddy come back? I miss daddy."

Li Yu thought for a moment, "Your father may not come back until before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"If it takes so long, summer will be over." Yangyang pouted.

Li Yu pinched his nose gently, "That's why dad asked you to take care of your mother and brothers!"

Yangyang looked at his brothers sleeping in the cradle and responded softly: "I will remember it."

When Zhou Jia and his party left Linxian, they left Tiezhu in the convoy and left the convoy with Ruyi, Zhaocai and two secret guards.

One of the secret guards protecting Zhou Jia turned out to be Ding Yi. After several people disguised themselves, Zhou Jia became a bearded man with a full face, and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Ruyi and Zhaocai also changed their original appearance. They quietly left the convoy carrying the message and galloped towards Yuezhou on horseback.

The journey that originally took more than a month took a few people less than a month and arrived at the gate of Yuezhou City just before noon that day.

Looking at the city gate that was just around the corner, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhaocai said with a smile: "If you push it any further, your butt will become eight petals."

Ruyi turned to look at him and said jokingly: "I will help you count when you get to the inn later. How many petals are you now?"

Zhaocai rolled his eyes at him and said disgustedly: "You are not a delicate woman, I won't show it to you."

Ding Yi and the secret guard Hu Cheng looked at the people queuing up to enter the city. After a while, Hu Cheng led the horse closer to Zhou Jia and said with a smile: "Master, didn't you say you want to eat caramel? There are some in front of you."

I want to eat candy? In an instant, Zhou Jia understood. He glanced at the thin old man in front of the queue and saw him hunched over towards the soldiers guarding the gate. He smiled cautiously and gave the coins to enter the city before entering.

"Hey! There's a candy seller in front of you. When you get into town, go to him and buy some."

"Yes, yes, it's all up to you." Hu Cheng said with a smile.

After a while, it was the turn of several people to enter the city. The guards checked the routes of several people and collected ten copper coins from each person before letting them into the city.

When he entered the city, he saw an old man selling caramel, walking slowly in front of him with a rattle. Zhou Jia glanced at Hu Cheng and said, "Hey! The caramel seller hasn't gone far yet. Go buy some."

"Yes, sir." Hu Cheng led the horse and walked quickly for a few steps, and stopped the old man selling the candy. "Old man, here are the candy for ten copper coins."

"Hey!" The old man put down his burden with a smile, quickly picked up some candies, wrapped them, and handed them to Hu Cheng, "Ten coins of candies, you have it."

Hu Cheng took the caramel and put a paper ball into his hand along with the caramel. Hu Cheng took the caramel back and handed it to Zhou Jia.

Zhaocai smiled and said, "Sir, sesame seeds are sprinkled on top. It looks delicious."

Zhou Jia opened the candy and put a piece in his mouth, "It really tastes good with sesame seeds,"

He took another piece and handed it to several people, "You guys eat too."

A few people smiled and took a piece and walked towards the market.

Pedestrians crowded around on the street, including those carrying burdens, riding horses, sitting in sedan chairs, driving ox carts and donkeys to pull goods. There were luxuriously decorated restaurants, teahouses, pawn shops, and many porcelain shops on both sides of the street.

A group of people led the horses and wandered around on the street. Hu Cheng led a few people and slowly walked to a secluded small river in the east of the city and climbed onto the stone arch bridge.

After crossing the bridge, we walked into a secluded alleyway and entered an inn called Ke Lai Ju. The waiter took the reins with a smile on his face and shouted inside, "Sir, the guest is here."

A lean old man came out cheerfully and said, "Please, please, it's better to have a few guests staying at the hotel."

Zhou Jia smiled faintly and said, "Does the shopkeeper have a separate courtyard when I stay in the hotel?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's in the backyard. I'll show a few of you."

Several people followed the old shopkeeper through the inn and arrived at the small courtyard at the back. There was a stone arch bridge not far to the right of the small courtyard, an alleyway diagonally opposite, and a street not far away.

Opening the courtyard door, you can see a path paved with bluestone slabs. Gardenias, jasmine and roses are planted under the courtyard wall, as well as several bright red winter jasmine flowers. There are a few bamboo chairs and a small round table under the eaves.
