After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 138 Heavy Rain

Sun Jiaxing's reaction was within Gu Mingda's expectation.

"Brother Sun, don't worry about packing your luggage now. Could you please accompany me and persuade Boss Qin and Yi Cheng together."

The reason why Gu Mingda wanted to take Sun Jiaxing with him was also very simple: Sun Jiaxing was a new Jinshi, and he had a great reputation, which made it easier to persuade these people.

Sun Jiaxing paused while packing his luggage, and then asked: "Zhongde, how are you going to persuade them? Can you not mention Niuniu?"

Sun Jiaxing has seen how powerful Niu Niu is. He doesn't want her to be exposed to others, and he doesn't want his precious daughter to be in any danger.

If those caring people knew that Niuniu had such ability, no one knew what they would do.

Gu Mingda loved Niu Niu more than him. Of course he understood this and said, "I will tell them that I had a nightmare."

When Sun Jiaxing heard this, he thought about it and said, "Let me do the talking."

Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this and said, "Brother Sun, you don't have to be like this."

Sun Jiaxing shook his head and said, "For me, it's easier to persuade them."

Although Gu Mingda enjoys the closeness between his friend and his daughter, he is not willing to put his friend in danger.

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Sun Jiaxing said directly: "Zhongde, now is not the time to be humble. Human lives are at stake, so don't be polite to me!"

The two of them went to find Boss Qin, the caravan leader, and called Yi Cheng.

"I dreamed that tomorrow morning there would be a heavy rain that would make it impossible to travel. The heavy rain would wash away the mountains behind us and we would all be buried here."

In the middle of the night, Sun Jiaxing's words immediately made Boss Qin and Yi Cheng wake up.

"Master Sun, please don't joke around." Boss Qin said.

Sun Jiaxing shook his head and said, "I'm serious."

"Master Sun, although our post station is backed by a mountain, I have been working as a postmaster here for thirty years, and there has never been a heavy rain that washed away the mountain. You can live in peace of mind." At this time, the postmaster thought that the Sun family was prosperous. This new Jinshi was just having fun with them when he had nothing to do.

Boss Qin also said: "Master Sun, Yu Ershan from our caravan is observing the sky. He said that tomorrow will be a sunny day and it should not rain."

The two of them obviously didn't take these words to heart at all.

Boss Qin and Yi Cheng had been working hard all day, but they were called out in the middle of the night. They had already suppressed their anger. If they hadn't seen Sun Jiaxing as a new scholar and saw a bright future, they would have turned against each other.

When Sun Jiaxing heard what they said, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he said, "Have you heard about the fire at Zhaoyue Guest House in Beijing at the beginning of the year?"

The capital is far away, so it is difficult for news to reach other places.

But of the two people in front of me, one is the head of the caravan and the other is the postmaster.

The caravan traveled north and south, and those who were greeted and sent off by the Yi Cheng were all officials, and they were all well-informed.

"I've heard a little bit about it," Lao Yi Cheng said cautiously.

Sun Jiaxing explained: "I was originally going to stay at the Zhaoyue Guesthouse that day, but as soon as I entered, I felt so flustered that I moved to another place. I was able to escape the disaster, but it was a pity that my fellow countryman died in the fire. It’s a disaster, I missed the test.”

Sun Jiaxing once again concealed the traces of Niu Niu.

"Now I'm so flustered, my eyelids are twitching, and I'm having such a nightmare again. Of course, if you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, Zhongde and I are about to set off now."

After Sun Jiaxing finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Mingda. They were both smart people and didn't say anything more.

But just such a blank space frightened Boss Qin and Lao Yi Cheng with their faces full of surprise and uncertainty.

"I just got a granddaughter last month, that's all. I just trust him this time, and I'll just hide away for a few hours." Old Yi Cheng turned around and packed his things with a slight trembling.

Boss Qin called his deputy.

The deputy was terribly sleepy and said: "Brother, Yu Er has been with us for so long and has never made a mistake in observing the sky. Why do you have to listen to others? After a day's journey, the brothers lay down and got up again. I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it.”

Boss Qin's expression changed several times and he asked: "How many people are there in our caravan?" The deputy replied: "There are forty brothers in our team. Brother, don't you remember?"

Boss Qin nodded and said: "Forty people, behind them are forty families of wives and children. We can't afford to gamble."

The deputy was startled when he heard this, but he still felt that there was no need to do this.

Boss Qin waved his hand and said: "I didn't believe it at first, but after Mr. Sun mentioned what happened in Jingzhong, my heart has always been worried. You are worried that the brothers will not have a good rest. It is simple. The worst is to rest for one more day at the next place. I have been leading a caravan for ten years. In our line of work, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

The originally dark inn became brightly lit in an instant, and everyone started to move. However, sleepiness and impatience were written on everyone's faces, and they occasionally uttered a few curses in a low voice.

Niu Niu was surrounded by Zhang Yun Niang in her arms. Listening to the sounds outside, she whispered: "Mom, if my dream is not accurate, will it affect Daddy Sun?"

The little girl already knew that Sun Jiaxing took the blame for her.

Zhang Yuniang said: "If you don't allow it, your grandson's father won't blame you, because you have good intentions, right?"

Niuniu nodded reluctantly, but her face was still full of tangles.

Zhang Yunniang sighed and said: "Your grandpa did these things for you because he regards you as his daughter. He loves you and is willing to bear the consequences for you. If he knew that you were so unhappy, he would be sad. ”

Niu Niu forced out a smile and said, "I don't want him to be sad."

More than fifty people traveled with carriages in the dark night, from dusk to dawn, but still did not reach the next stop where they could rest.

Already out of men and horses, and traveling under starry night, some people in the caravan were already shouting accusations.

"It's such a beautiful day, but it looks like it's going to rain. I just want to torment people!"

"I'm not crushed to death by the mountains and dirt, but I'm going to die from exhaustion first!"

After all, they were concerned about Sun Jiaxing's official status and did not dare to go too far.

It's just that the current atmosphere in the caravan is really terrible.

Sun Jiaxing always looked calm.

Gu Mingda patted his shoulder and comforted softly.

Sun Jiaxing shook his head and said, "It's okay, I believe in Niu Niu."

Gu Mingda sighed and said, "If Brother Sun hadn't taken the initiative to take on this matter, I would be the one being scolded now, but I would be the one hurting you."

Sun Jiaxing was unhappy and said, "Zhongde, I am doing it for my daughter, not for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an exclamation from the motorcade.

"Wang Xiaoshi fell off his horse!"

The caravan stopped.

Wang Xiaoshi is the nephew of the deputy of the caravan. The young man is honest and hard-working. When he first joined the caravan, he tried hard to perform well. He was overworked during the day, and he couldn't stand it anymore when he was traveling in the middle of the night. He dozed off on the horse. I accidentally fell it, and now I am holding my leg and complaining about the pain.

"Brother, I want to go find that man named Sun. Even if he is an official, I still have to go find him. The little stone hurts so much, and I don't know if the leg is broken!"

The deputy ignored Boss Qin's obstruction and rushed towards the carriage where Sun Jiaxing and Gu Mingda were sitting.

"It's already dawn, and it's raining heavily as promised! The sun is almost out! My little stone's legs are about to be broken. Do you want to compensate?"

The deputy opened the carriage curtain with red eyes, as if he wanted to settle the score severely.

Gu Mingda hurriedly protected Sun Jiaxing behind him. Before he could defend himself, there was a sudden falling sound in his ears.

The heavy rain came without any warning and hit the caravan deputy on the face.
