Chapter 379 The Little Fox is Being Eyed
The old woman took the fish soup home with great gratitude.
Yunyi's eyes flashed. Pregnant women are generally sensitive to the smell of meat and fish, which can cause morning sickness. Of course, not all of them are like this; many may not feel anything, but that is a minority.
There were three pregnant women living in that cabin. Didn't they experience morning sickness?
Yunlu seemed to realize the problem as well, looked at Yunyi, and then a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to get up, Yunyi stopped her.
There was no need for Yunlu to gather information, because the little fox was already there.
With the cheat code "Sixteen" around, it's like having a bug.
It's a pity that nothing important came out of that cabin for so long. They just said they had eaten and drunk something, and then there was silence. The pregnant women probably slept all the time.
What a strange group of people.
In the evening, the boat docked at the pier outside Hengling Town.
This town is the northernmost town in Hanzhong Prefecture. Beyond Hengling Town lies Hejian Prefecture.
Fang Zhong also said that once you turn past the big bend in front, you can see that the mountains on both sides are full of peach blossoms. Although it is already the end of April, there should still be some withered flowers left.
Yunyi wasn't particularly attached to it; she was happy to see whatever scenery she could. However, seeing Fang Zhong's eagerness, she still nodded politely, "I'm really looking forward to it."
At this moment, Su Mu walked over and asked, "Miss, would you like to stay on the boat tonight or go to town?"
"I've been in bed for days, I'm completely exhausted. Let's go to town for the night." Yunyi stretched her body.
Su Mu immediately sent someone ahead to find an inn before accompanying Yun Yi off the boat.
However, the rest of the guards remained on the ship, as there were still many things to look after.
"We've been sailing at night before, why are we staying overnight today?" Yunyi asked.
"I asked the boatman, and he said that the mountain ahead is called Jiazi Mountain. Although it's not high, the terrain on both sides is complicated, and there are many waterways inside. Water bandits often appear, and there are also hidden reefs," Su Mu replied.
"Don't the bandits come out during the day?" Yunlu followed up with another question. "Don't the government do anything about it?"
"Because the situation in Jiazishan is very complicated, each time they would return empty-handed. In the end, the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture had no choice but to send boats to patrol, but only during the day. So, no one sailed at night."
Yunyi didn't say anything more, but walked into the town.
Hengling Town is quite prosperous, probably because of its dock. There is a bustling main street right outside the dock. Night has fallen, but lanterns are still hanging on both sides, and there are even more vendors with their calls rising and falling.
Yunyi sat down at a wonton stall that looked pretty good and ordered three-delicacy wontons.
While we were eating, the guard who had been looking for rooms returned and had already booked rooms at the Fengyun Inn.
Fengyun Inn? Yunyi's eyes lit up. Wasn't that her trademark? Although she knew it wasn't her property, it was still fate that she could stay there.
Su Mu told the guards to go back, but Yun Yi stopped them and asked them to pack up a few servings of wontons to take back for everyone to eat.
After a satisfying meal, we strolled around the night market, bought a bunch of snacks, and then headed to Fengyun Inn.
Two men followed them for a while, and only after seeing them enter the Fengyun Inn did they turn around and head out of the town.
There were several people waiting outside the town.
"Boss, that woman and the girl are both quite attractive. Although their clothes are ordinary, the little fox she's holding is a rare breed—a white fox! If we could catch it, then..."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the leader's eyes. Everyone knew that foxes were very sinister and difficult to catch, but his master had sent orders that he wanted something special. If he offered up the little white fox, his master would be pleased and he would become rich.
"Go and keep an eye on them."
"Boss, aren't we making a move tonight?"
“We have an agreement with the town that we cannot harm the town, and it is more convenient to take action on the water than in the town.”
"But what if there are patrol boats during the day..."
"So, let's keep an eye on them for now, and once we're out of here tomorrow, we can just sabotage the ship, right?"
"The boss is right after all."
……
Yunyi and Yunlu had already entered the room and asked for hot water, preparing to take a nice hot bath.
"Boss, I sense a deep-seated malice." Sixteen's voice rang out.
Where did you get that feeling? Could someone want a fox pelt?
The little fox jumped onto the bathtub in an instant.
"You scoundrel, get off!" Yunyi slapped the little fox off the ground.
sixteen:……
She's female, okay? And this little fox is female too, okay?
Seeing the little fox stunned by the fall, Yunlu hurriedly went over and picked it up: "Miss, why did you hit Eighteen? Look how well-behaved it is! You've made it dizzy."
“I didn’t take a picture of it.” Yunyi glanced at the little fox. “It slipped on its paw and fell down by itself.”
Yunlv: ...
The young lady is lying through her teeth! She saw everything just now. But can she continue to argue? Of course not. After all, she's just a maid, the second maid at that.
Hong Yi said that the title of First Maiden belongs to her and no one can take it away, so she can only be ranked second, no, third. It is said that the second place belongs to He Miao, who has given birth.
Forget it, she doesn't care about the ranking anymore.
"How could you be so careless?" Yunlu patted the little fox's head. "It would be troublesome if you broke it. Go to a safe place to sleep."
Little Fox: ...
Who am I? What's wrong with me? I... never mind, I'll go to sleep.
"Boss, I'm telling the truth." Sixteen's trembling voice weakly rang out.
【Hmm.】 Yunyi leaned back in the bathtub with her eyes closed. 【I noticed. Someone has been following us all day. Could it be that they're after you, not me?】
[It's probably for the sake of Shiba, since Shiba is a rare white fox with not a single stray hair on its body, making it extremely precious. Some wealthy families like to use such foxes to make scarves, which are worth a fortune.]
Whether it was because the little fox heard these things or not, its body trembled slightly.
Yunyi frowned slightly. She hadn't really thought of that, but after Sixteen's reminder, she realized that it was indeed an oversight on her part.
Eighteen, like precious jewels, can become an object of contention.
Can you find out who those people are?
【cannot. 】
So Yunyi blocked Sixteen and looked at the little fox. Perhaps she could use it as bait to lure out a group of robbers, and then she could replenish her little treasury again.
