Chapter 116: Song Mansion, the Richest Man in Quanzhou
Several people looked at each other and quickly came to a unanimous answer in their hearts: stay!
With a plan in mind, several people immediately moved all their belongings into the room.
Soon, food and various daily necessities piled up like a mountain, taking up half of the space in the attic.
At this moment, Liang Pei stretched out his hand and pushed forward like a magic trick, and another room appeared in front of him. It was not very big, but it could accommodate four or five people without any problem.
Lu Qingqing looked at him and asked, "You won't create another room later, will you?"
Liang Pei moved his things out and said, "This is the only room I have. There is no more."
At that time, he thought that after he blew up the Chen Mansion, if he was found out, he would hide in the attic and live there.
I never thought that there would be a day when I could hide from the Huns!
What I didn’t expect was that I would have to live with the disaster victims heading north!
Liang Pei smiled secretly, life is really unpredictable!
As soon as the first quarter of the evening arrived, the temperature really rose!
Everyone had prepared for the rising temperature, and using Liang Pei's method, they tied a leak-proof cold water bag on their bodies, so they hardly felt the heat while hiding in the attic!
As for the black horse in another room, Liang Pei also hung cold water bags on its back. There were nearly a dozen of them, covering the entire back of the black horse.
There were also several buckets of cold water in the attic. When the black horse was thirsty, it would drink some cold water. When it was hot, it would put its tail and hooves into the cold water bucket to cool down. The black horse lay there leisurely and comfortably, eating its dinner bite by bite!
Seeing that everyone was in good condition, Lu Qingqing began to prepare dinner with Yang Liuqing.
They invited Liang Pei to eat together and thanked him for his generous help!
Liang Pei said no, it was Lu Qingqing who moved him emotionally and explained the reason to him that made him come!
There was one more person eating in the evening, and the dishes they cooked were very rich!
There are braised pigeon, stewed salted fish, fried lean meat with mushrooms, stewed pig's trotters with wild yam, and cold fish mint salad:
...five hot dishes and a pork rib corn soup.
The food was ready and served. Yang Liuqing looked at Liang Pei and said with a smile:
"I haven't made such a sumptuous dinner in a long time. It took some time. You must be starving. Come and sit down to eat."
What Second Aunt said was not true. When they were on the road, they had big fish and meat every day. It was such a luxurious meal!
But if we say that, it will immediately reveal that they have a lot of things to do!
They didn't know what kind of person Liang Pei was, but they didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of this matter!
Everyone sat down by themselves and everyone drank a bowl of soup before eating!
It was the first time Liang Pei ate food cooked by his second aunt. He said it was delicious as soon as he took a bite. Even he, the owner of a restaurant, felt ashamed and said that his cooking skills could not compare to hers!
Yang Liuqing smiled and said, then eat more, but she would not really listen to what he said, your cooking skills are better than his!
After all, he is a chef who runs a restaurant, so his skills must be excellent.
Everyone devoured the meal in no time!
Mainly because I was too hungry and it was so delicious!
Liang Pei had no idea how many times he had said the word "delicious" throughout the meal.
He also owns a restaurant, so he isn't afraid that this sentence will ruin his reputation!
However, the Huns are now rampant in Quanzhou, and everyone has fled to seek a living elsewhere.
Even if all the people of Yongquanzhou come back one day, I wonder if they can restore Yongquanzhou to its former prosperity?
Lu Qingqing lowered her head and thought about this question. At this moment, the temperature outside seemed to drop and it was no longer so hot.
Lu Qingqing was delighted. The night was long and it would be a waste of time to spend it sleeping.
Lu Qingqing wanted to take advantage of the night to go shopping in the city!
When she heard Liang Pei say today that Song Yuqing's parents were wealthy businessmen from Yongquanzhou, she wanted to go and take a look at the Song Mansion!
For a wealthy family like this, there must be plenty of gold, silver, treasures and food!
As soon as Lu Qingqing expressed her idea, everyone agreed.
Lu Yaoyao was the one who cheered the most, and looked at Lu Qingqing with shining eyes:
"Sister, I want to go and have a look."
Lu Qingqing refused: "No, the Xiongnu are still in the city. It's too dangerous for you to go with them."
The light in Lu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly dimmed.
She didn't feel happy until Lu Qingqing promised her that she would bring back a lot of delicious food and fun things.
After reporting to their uncle and aunt, Lu Qingqing, Lu Yuanzheng and Liang Pei walked out of the pavilion and headed outside!
The temperature outside has indeed dropped to about the same level as normal summer temperatures!
It's not hot enough to burn your skin, but you'll start sweating if you move a little bit, which is acceptable!
I quietly walked out of the restaurant. It was pitch dark outside and there was not a single star in the sky.
But the three of them had a clear purpose, which was to go directly to the Song Mansion via the shortest distance!
Liang Peiyouyong had a map of Quanzhou. The three of them looked at the map carefully for a while and soon found the shortest route!
Liang Pei was familiar with Quanzhou. He led the way in front, but he did not dare to light a fire for fear of encountering the Huns!
I could only rely on my eyes to gradually adapt to the darkness and move forward according to my usual habit of walking at night!
Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuanzheng both have a lot of experience walking at night, so this is not a problem for them!
Liang Pei is from Yongquanzhou. He is so familiar with Yongquanzhou that he can find the right route with his eyes closed!
But yesterday the Huns raided Quanzhou and shot many people dead on the streets.
Every few steps they took, they would kick a corpse.
In addition, the high temperature caused the corpse to rot quickly.
At this time, the dead bodies had begun to emit a foul odor.
They quickly tore off a piece of cloth from their bodies and covered their mouths and noses, which made them feel better.
Fortunately, apart from kicking corpses and smelling a foul odor along the way, we never encountered any Huns or other unusual things.
They walked in the city center for two hours and arrived at the outskirts of the city.
At this time, in the pitch-black night, a morning star had risen up without anyone noticing!
A beam of blinding white light cast across the sky. It wasn't very bright, but at least I could clearly see who was standing in front of me.
They quickly quickened their pace and soon stood in front of the gate of the Song Mansion.
For fear of causing trouble, they still did not dare to light a fire to illuminate the place. They only saw that the Song Mansion in front of them was very large, and the entrance was even bigger. There were steps in front of the entrance. When they reached the end of the steps, they saw two stone tigers standing majestically at the entrance!
The tiger's mouth was open, and the wolf's fangs were sharp, as if it wanted to swallow the person in one bite!
However, this is a lifeless tiger, why should I be afraid of him?
The three of them did not waste a moment, pushed open the door of the Song Mansion, and walked straight in!
After entering the door, there is a huge vestibule with three corridors leading to different places!
Without any discussion, they immediately split into three groups and headed towards the three corridors!
However, before they took a few steps, they heard a strange voice suddenly coming from the door:
"Eh? Didn't everyone in the Song Mansion leave? I just came to check and the door was clearly closed. How could it be open?"
