Chapter 147 Something happened

In the next few days, Ye Anian forced Jiang Zhu to rest at home, and his frequency of going to town became once every other day.

　　Fortunately, Yu Hu and Wen Heng were helping to keep an eye on the shop and wooden workshop. If anything happened, he could just wait for him to deal with it.

　　Jiang Zhu would still take advantage of Ye Anian's absence to run up the mountain, and the little follower Copper Coin would follow him every time.

　　The Lion King also appears every time, bringing with him a variety of different herbs, each one more precious and harder to find than the last.

　　Although there is nothing that can detoxify, Jiang Zhu is happy to keep it. In exchange, he will bring some meat or bones with him to feed the lion king.

　　Today, it's time to go to town again.

　　Ye Anyian steamed custard, cooked porridge and sweet potatoes early in the morning, and put them in a pot to warm.

　　Seeing that Jiang Zhu had woken up, he refused to let him get up: "When the sun comes out, Zhang Minjiang and the others will come and get up again."

　　"Okay." Jiang Zhu held his hand and didn't let go, "Then come back soon."

　　"You take good care of yourself and I'll be back soon." Ye Anyian frowned, ruthlessly opened his hand and stuffed it back into bed.

　　Then, he left without looking back.

　　The door was closed, and the smile on Jiang Zhu's face suddenly faded. He bit his lips and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. When he heard the sound of bullock carts rolling outside, he got up from the quilt. .

　　Anyway, there is no use lying down, it is better to get up and do something.

　　…

　　Ye Annian went to the shop first, and Yu Hu showed him the accounting records of the past few days, and then told him one by one the sales situation of the shop in the past few days.

　　He is now able to take charge of his own business. Whether it is the wood carving craftsmanship, the shop inspection, or the quality control of the Rubik's Cube in the wood workshop, he handles everything in an orderly manner.

　　"Over at the wood workshop, there are a total of twenty Rubik's Cubes with defects in this batch. I asked the carpenters to pick them out individually." Yu Hu said.

　　Ye Anyian finished reading the account book and nodded: "I'll go over later and see if it can be repaired."

　　Generally, he can repair small flaws, but if they are major, they can only be discarded. If a carpenter wants, he can take them home and burn them.

　　"The money for the last batch of orders has been settled, and this is recorded in the account." Yu Hu added, "Mr. Wen sent two more orders yesterday. They want wood carvings and the twelve zodiac signs. Shall we... accept them? ?"

　　He was a little hesitant. The second shopkeeper was sick, and the top shopkeeper only came here every other day recently. The new order was about to be received, and the carpentry over there had to start over. He didn't know if the top shopkeeper had time to go over there and keep an eye on it.

"Are you urgent?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　"There's no rush, just ship it before the year."

　　"Then take it. If there are orders with good prices later, I'll take them."

Money must be earned. Jiang Zhu's disease is so difficult to treat. If he needs expensive medicinal materials, he must have money to buy them.

　　Moreover, in this remote country, if you want to find a famous doctor, you may have to go to Beijing, which will definitely cost a lot of money.

　　Yes, he planned to wait until after the New Year, when the weather was warmer and he had saved some money, he would take Jiang Zhu to Kyoto to find a famous doctor, and maybe he could be cured.

　　After coming out of the shop, Ye Annian went around the wooden workshop again and dealt with the batch of defective Rubik's cubes.

　　Seeing that it was noon again, he didn't stay long, gave Wen Heng a few words and left.

　　When he was approaching West Street, he saw Sun Caihe walking towards him carrying a basket.

　　Ye Anian was a little surprised to see her in the town, but before he could think about it, Sun Caihe had already greeted her.

　　"Brother Nian." Sun Caihe stood a few steps away from him, his face still a little sad.

　　Ye Annian glanced at her lightly: "What's wrong, auntie?"

　　"Yes... I have something to trouble you with," Sun Caihe said with a flattering smile on his face, "I took over some needlework and thread work at the inn in the town, but now it's time to deliver the goods, and they don't want it anymore. , and...he also showed me some kind of deed."

　　"You also know that my aunt is illiterate. Can you help me take a look?"

　　Ye Annian didn't intend to meddle in such nosy matters: "There are so many people on the street, you can just find anyone."

　　He pointed to a stall selling rouge and gouache not far from the street: "Here, that aunt is literate."

　　Generally, those who can set up stalls and do business are those who can read and count.

　　"This..." Sun Caihe looked embarrassed, "She is an outsider after all, but I still trust you more. Brother Nian, please help me."

　　As if afraid that he would not agree, Sun Caihe pointed to the Fuyuan Inn not far from here: "It's right there, very close. I won't waste your time."

　　Ye Annian glanced in the direction of her finger, but at this moment, two people dressed as waiters suddenly came out from the side.

　　The two men held him on the left and right, and one of them took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth.

　　Suddenly, a pungent fragrance came, making people suffocate.

　　He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. He tried his best to turn his head and glanced in the direction where Sun Caihe was standing, but found that no one was there.

　　The two men were very strong and did not give him a chance to resist. They grabbed him and dragged him to the nearby inn. His mouth was tightly covered, and he could not open his mouth to call anyone.

　　Pedestrians were coming and going on the street behind him, and he could even hear the aunt selling rouge and gouache not far away haggling with people, and here, it was only a few steps away from West Street and Clay Figure Lane.

　　All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind. Others had been dragged into the inn. There were still a few people sitting sporadically in the lobby on the first floor. Seeing them come in, they were not moved at all.

Just when he was looking for a chance to call for help, the door behind him suddenly slammed shut, and the people who had just been sitting firmly in the lobby stood up together.

　　Ye Anian's heart suddenly sank, he thought, it's over.

　　The two people holding him did not relax, but dragged him straight upstairs. When he reached the corner of the second floor, he caught a glimpse of Sun Caihe standing in the lobby of the first floor with a low eyebrow. Opposite him stood a fat woman.

　　The woman's back was turned to him, and he couldn't see her face clearly, but he just thought she looked familiar.

　　When he reached the last step, he suddenly raised his foot and severely stepped on the guy who covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

　　The boy hissed in pain, his hand loosened, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.

　　Ye Annian took the opportunity to hit his chest hard with his elbow, broke away from the two of them, and ran to the corridor on the second floor.

　　It was useless to call for help. It seemed that there was something wrong with the entire inn, and the stairs were blocked by the two guys. He could only find an empty room, lock the door after entering, and then find an opportunity to jump out of the window and escape.

　　But until now, he was still confused. Sun Caihe had always bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong. He would beat and scold him, Ye Xiaomei and Fu Zai at home, quarrel with his second wife, and would not even dare to fart outside.

　　How dare you unite with the people in this inn to kidnap him for money? Or do you want to avenge Ye Ansong?

　　"stop!"

　　"Catch him quickly!"

　　However, before he could think about it, the two guys behind him started shouting.

　　He heard a bunch of messy and rapid footsteps behind him, and knew that the people downstairs were probably catching up with him.

　　But at this moment, a door next to him was suddenly opened, a hand stretched out from inside, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him in.

　　The door was slammed behind him, blocking out the shouts and footsteps of those outside.

　　In the room, a man wearing a sapphire blue brocade gown was looking him up and down with squinted eyes: "Tsk, he looks really good."

　　Ye Annian frowned: "Who are you?"

　　"My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Fu. I belong to the Xu family in Anxing County. Have you heard of me? The richest man in Anxing County." The man looked proud and sat on a mahogany chair with his legs crossed.

　　"So, is there something wrong with Master Xu?"

　　"You are so good-looking, how about following me?" Xu Fu stared at Ye Anyian with narrowed eyes, "Looking at how hard you work every day, you come with me, not to mention delicious food and drink, you can't do anything for a day. No need to do it, there are still people to take care of you."

　　"I already have a family," Ye Anyian gave him a cold look, "Young Master Xu, respect yourself."

　　"It doesn't matter if you have a family, I have plenty of ways to get him out! You, I heard you have a younger brother? Take him with you. I can afford him."

　　"No need. I'm not short of money, and I don't want to make fun of anyone."

　　"Then... let's get some sleep first! Hehe~" Xu Fu suddenly raised his voice, got up and rushed towards Ye Anian.

"My young master has met countless people, and his skills in bed are outstanding! You have tried to keep me safe once, and you want to do it a second time!"

　　There was a round table between the two of them, and behind Ye Anyian was the door.

He subconsciously wanted to open the door and go out, but with his hand on the doorknob, he heard sounds from outside again - the guys were still outside.

　　"Where do you want to run?" Xu Fu laughed, "The entire inn is taken over by this young master, and everyone outside is my people!"

　　"I advise you not to drink wine as a penalty, but to obey me obediently, and I can still give you a status!"

　　Ye Annian felt that this man was extremely disgusting. The moment he rushed over, he grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it at him.

　　The water in the teapot was still hot, so he covered his face and splashed it all over his body. It was so hot that he howled with an "ouch".

　　Ye Annian took the opportunity to distance himself from him and looked for something to defend himself in the house.

　　But his feet suddenly became weak, and then he felt dizzy. He staggered twice and fell to the side.

　　"Run! I let you run!"

　　Xu Fu had already rushed over, reaching out to catch him with a grin.

　　Ye Anian held on to the table next to him and dodged to avoid it, but he missed it and fell directly to the ground.

　　"Warm Love Powder, this is good stuff." Xu Fu wiped the water stains on his face and reached out to grab Ye Anyian's collar, "Stop holding on and have fun with me."

　　Xu Fuhou was about to take off his clothes in a hurry, but Ye Anian stopped him with one hand and groped randomly on the ground with the other hand, and finally found a fragment of a teapot.

　　He clenched it hard in his hand, and the sharp porcelain shard pierced his palm. The pain made him wake up for a moment.

　　But before he could break free, Xu Fu had already torn open his shirt and pounced on him like a hungry wolf, kissing him everywhere.

　　Ye Anyian squeezed the porcelain piece in his hand and scratched it towards his face.
