Chapter 154: The Old Man Doesn't Know
The moment she saw the man in white clearly, Ruan Xian, who was standing at the door of the post station, showed shock in her eyes, but fortunately, she was now inconspicuous, shabby, and still had a child in her arms.
Then a steady and neat footsteps sounded, and in the corner of Ruan Xian's eyes, the man in white walked into the post station with a group of black-clothed people with cold faces.
Li Zhoushi exhaled, his chubby face full of curiosity, "I'm scared to death, what kind of people are these?" ”
Li Zhou's husband, Lao Li, stood next to the two, and immediately frowned when he heard the words and interrupted her, "Don't be long-winded, they are all people we can't afford to provoke, let's go in, let's buy some dry food and leave early." ”
The caravan traveled from south to north, most of them were well-informed, these people were tall and powerful, and at a glance they knew that they were either rich or expensive, and they could not afford to offend. For the sake of safety, the caravan leader Liang Boss dispelled the idea of resting here for half a day, let everyone get off the car to replenish dry food and water, and set off on the road after a short rest, if the road is smooth, they will be able to arrive in Qingzhou before noon tomorrow, and everyone can rest assured for a few days.
"Sister, go in and have a bowl of tea, the child is also thirsty."
Li Zhou's walked in front, and at this time they all arrived at the door, Ruan Xian couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, she was low-key along the way, and worked hard to create a low-key and introverted, gentle and harmless image, and now she was about to go to Qingzhou, she couldn't make any mistakes temporarily. For a while, her thoughts turned a thousand times, and she followed Li Zhou's post station with her eyebrows lowered and obediently followed.
Now, she is unkempt, pale and yellow, dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, as long as you don't look carefully, you must not be recognizable. What's more, the world is so big, there are more people who look similar, the last time she saw Zhu Hanyun was a year ago, and they have changed a lot, if you have any doubts, how can she pretend to be stupid and not admit it?
Not bad.
The man in white among the group of people was His Royal Highness Zhu Hanyun, the eldest prince.
After a year, His Royal Highness the eldest prince doesn't know how much wind and rain he has endured outside, the young man with red lips and white teeth, and a delicate and youthful spirit now seems to have the mold of a young man, not only has grown taller, his complexion is darker, and his body shape is obviously stronger, and what is even more surprising is that he is full of momentum.
The former prince was extraordinarily noble, and his whole body was full of self-respecting arrogance, but now he is arrogant and restrained, still noble, but his face is indifferent, like a sharp knife out of the sheath, sharp and cold.
Such a big prince is no longer the arrogant and domineering foodie prince who used to be in Izumo Palace, but he is actually soft-hearted.
Ruan Xian's gaze swept over the post station and quickly buried her head.
The lobby of the post station is very spacious, and at the moment it is full of passing vendors and guests, especially the group of black-clothed people who are eight or nine, they occupy one side, all of them are burly and tall, imposing, and the only man in white sits in the middle, which is particularly sideways in the whole post station.
There were many sideways eyes in the lobby, and others didn't even consciously talk and talk, not to mention the shopkeeper behind the counter and the little two who served in front of the hall, the caravan of Ruan Xian and others was also crowded, and the huge lobby suddenly felt crowded at this moment.
"Xiao Er, first serve a few pots of tea and five catties of beef, fry a few good dishes, and then pack ten cakes to take away later."
"Okay, wait a minute, come right away~"
The caravan and others sat far away from the man in black, occupying two tables, Ruan Xian held Jiujiu and deliberately turned her back to the man in black, lowered her eyebrows and did not squint, as soon as the dish was served, everyone moved their chopsticks to eat without commanding. Along the way, they trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at a resting place without going to the village or behind the store, and everyone hadn't eaten normal meals for several days.
The aroma of food wafted through the air, and Ruan Xian ate absentmindedly, paying distracted attention to the people on the other side of the lobby. Not only her, but the other guests in the lobby were not speculating about the origin of this group of black-clothed people, these people seemed to be faintly respectful of the white-clothed man, which made the good deeds even more curious.
"Mother~"
Suddenly, a crisp and loud child's voice sounded in the air.
In an instant, several lines of sight around looked over, Ruan Xian's body stiffened, and she immediately looked down at September, only to see the little guy's dark eyes looking at him longingly, "Mother, hungry." ”
September is more than a year old, and under Ruan Xian's conscious guidance, she is now able to express her needs simply and clearly. Along the way, Ruan Xian had already fed September supplementary food, she specially prepared enough rice cereal powder, and when she was hungry, she washed hot water for September to eat, the little guy was used to eating good things, and was very picky at first, but then he was so hungry that he had no choice, so he slowly accepted the rice cereal. Half an hour ago, the little guy had just eaten a bowl of rice cereal in the carriage, how could he be so hungry so quickly?
The people at the table all heard September's voice, and Li Zhou said with a smile, "Look at my memory, I forgot that I still have children, sister, let the store give Jiu'er a bowl of stewed eggs, right?" When the child is growing up, he is afraid that he will be hungry quickly. ”
Ruan Xian hurriedly smiled gratefully and whispered, "Can you bother my sister to give me an order?" ”
Her voice was very low and her tone was slightly hoarse, and the ears of those who practiced martial arts were extraordinary, and she could never expose herself before she arrived in Qingzhou immediately.
Ruan Xian has successfully portrayed the image of a cowardly and low-key ignorant woman along the way, and everyone has long been surprised by her unworthy appearance. This episode flashed by, and soon, the shopkeeper brought a bowl of fragrant, tender and tender stewed eggs, Ruan Xian thanked him, picked up the spoon and hugged Jiu Jiu and began to feed it skillfully.
Xiao Jiu's slippery eyes swept over the table, retracted it with some reluctance, looked at the egg custard in the spoon, and opened his mouth to eat. After eating a few bites, a little grief and indignation passed under her eyes, her mouth was closed, and she simply buried her head in Ruan Xian's arms.
Ruan Xian looked at the child in surprise, still holding a spoon in her hand, and called softly twice, but the little guy didn't want to eat anymore.
"This little guy, why didn't you eat it after a few bites?" Seeing this, Li Zhou couldn't help but say, "It can't be uncomfortable, right?" ”
Ruan Xian touched the little guy's forehead, the body temperature was normal, the little guy didn't cry or make trouble, she thought slightly, and then shook her head, "The little guy just ate a big bowl of paste in the car, and he is probably still full." After saying that, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and shook her head to shake off the ridiculous thoughts in her head.
"Master?"
Huo San looked at his master cautiously, followed his line of sight, and saw the other side of the lobby. There were two tables of people, looking like ordinary caravans, and on this side sat a woman dressed in a gray cotton dress and wrapped in a turban, who seemed to be holding a child in her arms, and her body was slightly bent, as if she was looking down at the child.
Huo San's face rose a little strangely, he looked at the woman, and then at his master, and a little suspicion rose in his heart: Is his master looking at the woman?
But then he hurriedly threw this terrible guess out of his mind, how could his master have such a noble and extraordinary identity, how could he peek at an ordinary and ordinary woman?
Hearing the call of his subordinates, Zhu Hanyun immediately withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, his eyes drooped slightly, and a trace of dazedness flashed inside.
Just now he seemed to hear Ruan Xian's voice, could it be that he heard it wrong?
Could it be that I have hallucinations caused by overwork recently?
In the next second, his eyes sank, as if he thought of something unpleasant, and his face suddenly turned cold.
