Chapter 154 Escort Agency
Lu Chengjing rubbed her little face and asked softly, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Yuanyuan shook her head, hugged her father and rubbed him, then pointed her little hand in the direction where Shang Wan was sitting, indicating that she wanted to listen to a story with her mother.
Lu Chengjing turned his wheelchair over, and Yuanyuan nestled in her father's arms, listening to her parents talking to each other, telling new stories she had never heard before. She felt increasingly sleepy, and she couldn't help but opened her little mouth and yawned.
Holding the milk bottle, the soft little body curled up, closed its eyes, and its breathing gradually became even.
Lu Chengjing patted her gently, with unconcealable worry in his eyes.
"Yuanyuan is just tired. She needs more sleep to recover." Shang Wan took away the milk bottle, reached out and poked his baby's pink and tender face, giving the worried old father a reassurance.
Yuanyuan smacked her lips, tilted her head, and fell into a more sound sleep.
Shang Wan reached out and took Yuanyuan in her arms, then looked at Lu Chengjing's right hand, which was still hanging, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Lu Chengjing: "It hurts."
Shang Wan's mouth twitched. He told her it didn't hurt before applying the medicine, but after applying the medicine, he said it hurt.
She said, “I’m not angry.”
Lu Chengjing: "That... doesn't hurt."
Shang Wan chuckled: "...You get better pretty quickly."
Lu Chengjing curled his fingers and his eyelashes trembled, “I don’t want to make you worry.”
Seeing him like this, Shang Wan felt inexplicably annoyed, and said with a hint of anxiety, "It's my business whether I worry or not. I want to hear the truth."
Lu Chengjing looked up at her, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, and he replied, "Okay."
Shang Wan: “…What are you laughing at?”
And smiling so silly.
The curve of Lu Chengjing's lips deepened, but he did not answer Shang Wan's question.
Shang Wan really couldn't guess what this fox was thinking. He rocked Yuanyuan in his arms and thought that Xiaohuan needed to recover from her injuries, so he said, "Let Yuanyuan sleep with us from now on. After the new house is built, we can let Yuanyuan sleep in the side room so that we can look after her at any time."
Naturally, Lu Chengjing had no choice but to respond.
Before going to sleep, Shang Wan suddenly remembered something, "If the assassins don't come tonight, they probably won't come tomorrow. Tomorrow I want to go to Longling Escort Agency to meet the second boss Sang."
"Are you planning to hire Longling Escort Agency to deliver the letter?"
"I heard from Master He that the Long Ling Escort Agency has a pretty good reputation." Shang Wan said, "It's a secret letter anyway, so we don't have to worry about it being seen by others. It doesn't matter who sends it."
The next day, just after dawn, Yuanyuan gave her parents a big surprise.
The little one wet the bed because he drank too much milk before going to bed.
Shang Wan rubbed his messy hair, looked at his round, innocent little face, stretched out his hand to pinch it, and said helplessly: "Didn't you say you would call me?"
Its round eyes rolled around and it quickly crawled behind its father and hid, seeming to be shy.
Shang Wan started to chase them away, "You two can go to another place. I'll make the bed."
"Okay." Lu Chengjing put on his coat, picked up Yuanyuan, and went out in the wheelchair.
Now he felt very comfortable holding Yuanyuan in one hand. Both of them were awake, so he might as well go and wash up.
Yuanyuan obediently helped her father wring out the handkerchief, and then successfully added a set of wet clothes to herself and her father.
Looking at her innocent little face, Lu Chengjing couldn't get angry at all, so he had to take the little girl back to change clothes.
Yuanyuan was not obedient when putting on her clothes. She was crawling around in the quilt that had just been changed, playing hide-and-seek.
Lu Chengjing's right hand was still hanging, and he couldn't hold her with his left hand alone, let alone help her put on her clothes.
But the little guy was so excited about playing that he wrapped himself in the quilt and refused to come out.
Lu Chengjing was worried that she would catch a cold, so he had to call for help.
As soon as Shang Wan came, Yuanyuan immediately became obedient. She sat there and waited for her mother to dress her and comb her hair.
Shang Wan flicked her little head and said, "Okay, let's go eat."
Gao Yan was still the chef for breakfast, and he made it simple, with noodles in clear soup.
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Everyone missed Xiaohuan while eating noodles.
Xiaohuan, who was still asleep, couldn't help but sneeze, tilted her head and fell asleep again.
After eating the noodles, seeing that it didn't look like it was going to rain, Shang Wan took the herbs out to dry.
"Shi Tou, stay home with your brother-in-law and don't run around. I'm going into the city and will be back before noon." Shang Wan harnessed the ox cart and did not forget to remind Shi Tou.
Shitou agreed readily and waved his hands while hugging Yuanyuan.
Chu Xu wanted to go with him. He felt that he would feel safer with Shang Wan. What if the assassin came again?
"We have something important to do this time. I'll take you there next time." Shang Wan rubbed the child's head, his tone unquestionable.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Chu Xu snorted, picked up Yuanyuan, and went to play with Xiaohui together.
Shang Wan hooked his finger at Shitou, and waited for him to come closer before whispering, "Don't let the guy in the cellar starve to death."
If she hadn't mentioned Shi Tou, he would have forgotten about it. He said he would bring food to the person in the cellar later.
……
Shang Wan jumped off the ox cart and looked up at the plaque above. There were four characters in total, and she recognized half of them, one was "Dragon" and the other was "Situation".
There was an old man with a gray beard sweeping the floor at the door. Shang Wan asked, "Excuse me, is this the Longling Escort Agency?"
"Isn't it written on the sign? Can't you read it yourself?" The old man said in a somewhat aggressive tone, looking up at Shang Wan, "What do you want?"
Shang Wan: "I want to hire an escort agency to deliver a letter for me."
"Oh, come with me." Hearing that they were not here to tease him, the old man stepped aside and invited Shang Wan in.
There is a large courtyard with two entrances. Various martial arts equipment are placed in the front yard. Four or five men are exercising their muscles with their bare chests.
Shang Wan took a quick look and didn't find anyone with a particularly square face, so Sang Qi should not be here.
The old man led Shang Wan to the living room and sat her down. He served her a cup of tea and spoke in a much kinder tone than before, "Please wait a moment. I will go and invite the head of the family to come."
Shang Wan nodded and watched the old man go out.
She looked around boredly. The furnishings in the hall were quite ordinary. Above the table in the middle hung a picture of a tiger descending the mountain. The tiger was painted very vividly.
Shang Wan was just about to get up and take a closer look when the old man led a burly man into the hall.
The man had rough features, a broad back and strong arms, which made his sleeves curve into a smooth shape.
The man who came was the boss of the escort agency, his surname was Yan.
When Mr. Yan saw Shang Wan, he thought to himself that it was no wonder that those guys in the yard stopped practicing martial arts and stretched their necks to look into the hall. It turned out that a fairy had come.
"Long wait." Yan Dangjia greeted him with a smile and went straight to the point. "I heard that you want to ask our escort agency to deliver a letter. Where should I send the letter to?"
"Send it to the border, Maocheng." Shang Wan said, "I heard that there was a war at the border. I was worried about the safety of my family and couldn't sleep at night. I wanted to send a letter home to inquire about their safety."
"Why not entrust it to the post station?" Yan Dangjia said, "If you want to send a letter, the post station is faster than the escort agency."
Shang Wan said disappointedly: "Does the escort agency not deliver letters? Then I have come to the wrong place. Goodbye."
She stood up and was about to leave, but Yan, the head of the family, stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Madam. The letter has been delivered. I thought you didn't know the post station, so I told you. If you still want me to deliver the letter, I will not turn down a business that has come to my door."
