Chapter 121
Chapter 121
The number of people leaving the city early was less than the number of people entering the city. With the advantage of their status as Changfu, Jiang Yan and Chunying quickly passed the checkpoint and drove the mule cart north.
After leaving the sight of the city gate guards, the mule cart quietly turned into a relatively hidden dense forest and stopped.
Chunying went to the outskirts of the woods to meet Fu Nulang and the others, while Jiang Yan stayed there to guard the mule cart and took out a file to deal with the Chang family logo on the outside of the carriage.
We are about to leave Xiding City, and it would not be appropriate to show off in a carriage that already has an owner.
Especially if they were unlucky enough to meet someone who had a grudge against the Chang family, and they were implicated or even lost their lives, that would be even more unfair than Dou E's.
Sawdust fell little by little, and Jiang Yan polished it carefully, trying to make it invisible at first glance.
But this could only remain a fantasy, as her rudimentary carpentry skills were completely unable to achieve such a difficult requirement.
Jiang Yan stopped what he was doing, took a closer look, and saw a color difference. He stood up and looked from a distance, and wow, there was a clear color difference.
Jiang Yan put his hands on his hips and thought carefully about how to remedy the situation.
How about randomly destroying the entire side and treating it as a special style?
Jiang Yan held the file and gestured left and right, but couldn't decide where to start.
Alas, things like this that require artistic creation still need to be done by Miss Fu.
She picked up another piece of charcoal from the basket and gently tapped it on the newly ground area where the color was still lighter...the color was not similar.
Jiang Yan circled around the frame, observing everything around him that could be used to add color.
The mule, which had been chewing hay quietly, was annoyed by the people who occasionally wandered in front of it, and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yan suddenly had an inspiration, and took out an axe from the carriage and started digging the mud.
The ground was frozen hard in winter. Jiang Yan took some effort to grind out a small pile of mud powder, then poured in some unprocessed tea with medicine added, and quickly turned it into mud, which he smeared casually on the outer wall of the carriage.
Great, now all you see at first glance is mud and no one will notice the missing logo.
After finishing her work, Jiang Yan climbed onto the mule cart with her hands on her chin. It would take at least half an hour for her and Chunying to leave the city. Why hadn't Fu Nulang and the others arrived yet? Hopefully, something unexpected had happened.
Another quarter of an hour passed before Jiang Yan vaguely heard the sound of several people approaching.
She walked forward carefully, holding the axe and file tightly in her hands, which had not yet been put back in their places. She saw Chunying and Yile supporting the breathless Fu girl walking over, followed by Baoqin, Tingying and Huanyan who were walking tiredly.
Jiang Yan was truly baffled. They had been climbing the wall repeatedly in the Chang Family Guest House for nearly a month, which was quite a bit of exercise. How could they be so exhausted after such a short distance out of town?
Fu Weixin could guess without raising his eyes that Jiang Yan was complaining again. Ever since he made the decision to leave the Chang Mansion, she had become bolder day by day.
Afraid that Jiang Yan would say something unintentionally hurtful, Fu Weixin spoke first and asked, "Where did that thing in your hand...um...come from?"
Which one, the file in the left hand or the axe in the right hand?
Jiang Yan glanced down, his expression embarrassed. "The file is from the mansion. I don't remember when I brought it back. The axe is something I got today."
After being active at night for a long time, Jiang Yan found that she had also picked up some shady habits. Especially when they were short of everything, she would instinctively observe whether there were any tools around her that could be used, and then she would urgently need them the moment she left.
Although Jiang Yan felt a little guilty and remorseful afterwards, she was disappointed by Fu Nulang's surprise and started to play the victim: "Girl, I have really paid a lot for you~"
