Chapter 455 Arrival in the Capital
"Don't be sad, sir. They will definitely be safe. You were the only one at the village entrance at that time. The others were probably washed away to other villages by the water. I will ask someone to go to other villages later to see if your family members are there?" The village chief thought for a moment and then said.
"I fell off the cliff and thought I was dead. I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet the village chief. I would like to thank the village chief for saving my life again. When I return to the capital in the future, I will definitely reward him handsomely."
After just walking around the yard twice, Si Chengyi put his crutches on the ground and found a stool to sit down.
His right leg hurt so much that he had already seen a doctor. It might be because his leg hit the ground first when he fell from the cliff, so his leg was seriously injured.
In addition, we don’t know how long he was soaked in the water, and he didn’t receive timely treatment. I guess he will limp when he walks in the future.
Hearing the doctor's words, Si Chengyi cursed Si Chengren in his heart again, "You son of a bitch Si Chengren, just wait for me, you owe me a leg, and I will get it back with interest."
Now that he could walk, Si Chengyi's mind began to get active. He wanted to find a way to return to the capital as soon as possible. He had had enough of staying here.
In the small mountain village, you can hear the roosters crowing before dawn, so don't even think about sleeping in any longer.
The village chief's wife is a hardworking person. She raises a lot of chickens and ducks in the yard. They are not kept in a pen, but run around in the yard. Even when people are lying in the house, they can smell the chicken manure outside.
Si Chengyi was not used to it at first. He felt like vomiting when he smelled the smell, and the food he ate was all bland. Although the village chief wanted to please him, he only gave him an extra egg during the meal.
So he vaguely suggested that he wanted to leave, but he did not have enough money and the capital was too far away, so going back would be a problem. He did not even mention borrowing money from the village chief.
The village chief's eyes rolled around. The man in front of him was the young master of the Yong'an Marquis's family in the capital. He was in trouble just this time, otherwise, a small person like him would never be able to come into contact with him.
Si Chengyi had said more than once before that he would repay him in the future. If he returned to the capital, would he be able to get more benefits by lending him money or sending him back?
By then, will the Marquis of Yong'an's Mansion reward him with a courtyard in the capital in order to thank him for saving his son?
Thinking of this possibility, the village chief couldn't help but smile, but he still forced himself to hold it back so as not to make it too obvious.
A young master like him, who has everything provided for him, said this, which means he definitely wanted to borrow money from him but was too embarrassed to ask.
In this case, I might as well offer to lend it to him. Wouldn't that also make a good impression in his mind? Having made up his mind, the village chief spoke carefully.
"With such a big incident, your family must be worried sick. Now that you are almost well, it is time for you to go back.
How about this? The journey is long and tiring. My eldest son and I will rent a carriage to take you back to the capital. What do you think of this?"
Hearing the words of the village chief, Si Chengyi's heart suddenly surged with excitement, but he did not show it on his face. He looked into the distance leisurely, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke after a while.
"Then I'll trouble you, Village Chief. I'll pay for all the expenses when we get to the capital."
"Sir, you are too polite. I won't mention any fees. I just think I have a liking for you and I just want to help you. I don't expect anything in return." The village chief said it implicitly. This young man from the capital is different. Judging from his demeanor, he is completely different from them.
Si Chengyi looked at him, nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and said nothing more. "Don't you want something in return from me? Well, I will fulfill your wish when the time comes."
Three days later, the village chief really asked his eldest son to go to the county town to rent a carriage, and laid a thick cushion inside so that Si Chengyi could sit more comfortably.
Having been the village chief for so many years, he had saved up a lot of money. With three of them in the group and the carriage they rented, it would cost a lot of money.
The village chief gritted his teeth and took all the silver, which amounted to more than thirty taels. He thought that before long, it might be able to turn it into three hundred taels, and his depressed mood was immediately swept away.
The expenses along the way were quite high, including three meals a day and accommodation at night. In order to save money, the village chief suggested that the three of them rent a room.
Si Chengyi slept on the bed, while he and his son slept on the floor, saying that Si Chengyi was injured and needed to be taken good care of.
Si Chengyi certainly had no objection to this arrangement. He felt so comfortable being served delicious food and drinks.
He even thought that he should not walk so fast on the road. He didn't know how Si Wei Zhong would punish him when he arrived in the capital, so he should hide as long as possible.
So he suggested that the road was bumpy and his legs were hurting so much that he should slow down.
"Okay then, I'll listen to you, sir. There's no need to rush in a day or two anyway." The village chief agreed, but his face looked a little ugly.
If the speed is slow, doesn't that mean they have to stay on the road for two more days and eat for two more days, which will cost a lot of money all in all.
Si Chengyi didn't care about all that and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. The housekeeper watched his son make the bed on the floor, then glanced at Si Chengyi on the bed and sighed slightly.
It would have taken seven days to get there, but it took three more days. The village chief looked at the prosperous streets of the capital and the young men and women dressed in silk and satin, and he felt extremely envious.
This capital city is so great, it is so much better than his little mountain village. It feels like his eyes are not enough and everything he sees is new.
The village chief's son, Dashan, also had a look of joy on his face. His father had told him more than once that when Master Si found his family, he would definitely reward them with a large sum of silver.
By then, their family will be rich, and they may be able to settle down in the capital and enjoy endless wealth.
Dashan has already begun to fantasize that in the future he will live in a big house in the capital. He will become more and more annoyed with the yellow-faced woman at home and will definitely take in more concubines.
Si Chengyi in the carriage had a completely different mood from theirs. Si Wei Zhong had a bad temper and he didn't know how to punish him later. Now his leg was still injured, so he wouldn't be able to run away.
The sound of horse hooves clattering on the ground made Si Chengyi even more annoyed.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion, on which was clearly written the name of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The village chief and his son were excited again when they looked at the tall door plaque. They were indeed a big family in Beijing. This house was really magnificent.
Seeing them stop at the door, the guards at the door immediately ran over to drive them away.
"You can't park here, leave now!"
