Chapter 40 Touching porcelain? Can't stay

Tang Lao Er didn't care and asked casually: "Is there any business during the New Year?"

Lu Dazhuang shook his head again, "Yesterday was better, no one came here today."

"If no one comes, you won't celebrate the New Year with everyone!" Tang Laoer suddenly attacked.

Lu Dazhuang was so scared that he trembled with fear. He suddenly felt his mouth was dry and he didn't know how to explain it.

Tang Laoer didn't really want him to answer, and he wanted to take him back to the village as he said that.

Lu Dazhuang was still thinking about watching the inn, but he was so pale and powerless that he was dragged out of the inn by Tang Laoer.

He also knew that Tang Lao Er had made a fuss, and it was useless to refuse, so he could only say helplessly: "Uncle, then can you wait for me to close the shop?"

"Finish!" Tang Laoer relaxed.

Lu Dazhuang was about to turn around, when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, from far to near, the two of them looked towards the dark direction at the same time. After a while, one horse and one person broke into their sight.

Before they could react, the other party had already come to them. The next second the person fell down directly. The horse ran for another period before falling down, and the dust flew.

Tang Laoer and Lu Dazhuang were both shocked and reacted and rushed forward to check.

The person who fell down was wearing soldiers' clothes, which Lu Dazhuang could still tell. He had a small flag on his body, a token hanging around his waist, and a bag on his back, and was covered in dust. He probably had to die after traveling for several days. This situation was obviously an urgent matter. They could not keep anyone, so they had to notify the government immediately.

Lu Dazhuang was worried that Tang Laoer was here alone, and gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, you should go back to the village quickly, I have to send this person back to the city."

"Send... to the city? How to send it! The city gate is closed long ago! Why don't you wait until he wakes up?" Tang Lao Er had never seen this scene before, and was so anxious that Chaozhou was no longer as good as other places. It was too unsafe to walk outside at night. Not to mention whether there are robbers or bandits, even the beasts that occasionally break out in the mountains are enough for them to drink a pot.

Lu Dazhuang shook his head seriously, "No, this person obviously has a task and cannot be delayed. He must be sent to the city immediately."

"Then... Then wait, I'll talk to Aning and ask her to come and help." At this time, only Tang Ning could think of at least Tang Lao Er.

When Tang Ning received the news, he almost ran out with flying. Lu Dazhuang had already put the person on the donkey cart. When he saw her, he said, "Miss Ning, I have to go to the city right away."

"I'll be with you!" Tang Ning drove Lu Dazhuang to the donkey cart without saying a word, "You can't see clearly in the middle of the night, so I'll drive the car and get in a stable place!"

Qiu Jingming, who came out, was very worried, "Aning, be careful, don't try to be fast, it's important to save your life when you encounter danger, don't be reckless..."

"good!"

Amid the reminders of everyone, Tang Ning drove the donkey cart and disappeared from everyone's sight until they could not hear the sound of donkey hooves.

If this happens, they can't stay outside, and they don't know if there is any danger, so they dare not stay for a long time.

Everyone discussed it and finally decided to send people to guard the village gate. Once Tang Ning and the others came back, they would open the door immediately. If outsiders were to run back to the village, they would notify everyone.

Tang Ning drove the donkey cart here, and Lu Dazhuang sat behind him and had to hold the handrail tightly, for fear of being pushed down.

As for the soldier who fainted, he would be fine as long as he didn't fall down, and he couldn't care about it.

When the three arrived at the city gate, they were indeed stopped by soldiers patrolling above. "Who? Don't you know the curfew time?"

Tang Ning glanced at Lu Dazhuang.

Lu Dazhuang hurriedly shouted: "Sir, Xiaomin came from Fenggu Village. A soldier brother was riding a horse and fell outside my inn. There was a token hanging around his waist. We sent him to the government and went back."

When the people above heard this, they immediately took a team of people and horses to look out with torches.

Lu Dazhuang jumped off the donkey cart very well and gave them the position.

The leader saw Tang Ning as soon as he approached, and his attitude changed immediately, "Oh! It turned out to be Miss Tang, I'm lucky!"

Tang Ning nodded politely to the other party and said, "Sir, this person is the one who falls outside our village. His horse is dead, so we have no time to deal with it, so we can only get the person into the city first."

When he heard that the horse was dead, several soldiers changed their faces and hurried over to check. When they saw the token on his waist, the soldier in charge looked a little more solemn and said to Tang Ning: "Miss Tang, I want to ask you to go with us to meet the magistrate. You will tell the magistrate in detail about the specific situation."

Tang Ning nodded slightly, and had long guessed the ending.

After entering the city, they found that the city was full of New Year atmosphere. Red lanterns were hung outside all the shops on the street, lit up the long street, and the ground was full of fireworks and firecrackers. It was obvious that the people in the city had just carnival before, and after some people, they could still smell the fragrance of food.

I was still cooking after ordering this, which shows how lively the house is.

Compared with the people who reunited with their families, the soldiers guarding the city are much more pitiful. Not only can they not have a good New Year’s Eve dinner with their families, but they also have to stand on the top of the city wall and blow the cold wind. It can be said that everyone’s peace and happiness are all due to their sacrifices.

At this moment, Tang Ning was in awe of the soldiers around him, and suddenly stopped when passing by the restaurant, saying, "Wait for a moment, I'll go and come."

The soldiers knew that Tang Ning was the guest of honor for the prefect, so they naturally would not refuse.

Tang Ning didn't know the mercy, so she came out after just a moment. She was carrying several packs of oil paper bags in her hand. She handed the things to the soldier's leader and said, "Thank you tonight, everyone to eat while it's hot."

"This is not possible!" the soldier refused.

Tang Ning insisted, "Everyone is celebrating the New Year, you are still drinking the northwest wind, just a few buns. I have a little bit of my wish, let me bother you tonight."

“No, no…”

However, the few people accepted the buns given by Tang Ning and sent them to the prefect's office. After receiving the news, Du Bailiang immediately brought the people out, which was exactly the same as the soldier leader said.

Du Bailiang asked about the situation at that time carefully, and Lu Dazhuang answered truthfully. They checked the things on the man, woke the man up with a needle, and confirmed that there was no gap in the things before letting Tang Ning and the others leave.

When I walked out of the prefect's office, it was already Yin time, and occasionally I could hear the sound of roosters crowing.

The two of them drove a donkey cart, not as in a hurry as they came. When they passed by the restaurant, Tang Ning thought of the hot buns, and went in again by chance. When they came out, they bought a bunch of them.

Lu Dazhuang looked at it, "Miss Ning, if you are really hungry, you should have something to eat when you go back. There is no need to buy so many buns for the New Year."

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "You don't understand, do you want to share with you?"

Lu Dazhuang did not refuse. He took a hot meat bun and took a bite, and his eyes lit up, "It's delicious! The buns in this restaurant are so delicious! Why didn't you find them before?"
