Ye Xiaoyu is now in a hurry to find Xiaobai, who disappeared inexplicably, and is in no mood to talk nonsense with Zou Youheng.

"What are you doing here, setting up a site to rob women from good families?!"

But seeing Zou Youheng sitting on the side of the road with nothing to do, she still asked angrily.

"Who said that Youheng likes women from good families, people like women and men from good families."

Zhou Ming added with a funny face.

He remembered that the person in front of him was the good friend of Zou Youheng's legendary shopkeeper.

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense."

Zou Youheng stretched out his hand and pushed Zhou Ming.

"You've been sitting here?"

Ye Xiaoyu was in no mood to listen to these boys' nonsense.

"That's right...... Until you show up. ”

Zhou Ming started again.

"Did you see a white horse running past here?"

She thought that she would be able to catch up with her immediately, but she didn't expect to walk all the way and not even see a shadow.

"White horse? There is no eh. ”

Zou Youheng looked around.

"We've been sitting here all night, and we haven't seen anything else pass by but you."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

"You, the horse is gone?!"

Zou Youheng asked.

He seemed to remember that Ye Xiaoyu had a white horse at home, but because Ye Xiaoyu rarely rode around, he didn't think about it for a while.

"yes, I don't know if I ran away or if I was stolen."

Ye Xiaoyu sighed.

If you run away on your own, there is still a place to find it, if it is stolen by someone. I guess it's over.

"I won't tell you, I'll look for it again."

Ye Xiaoyu said and was about to walk away.

"Rongzhou City is so big, how can you find it alone?"

Zou Youheng stood up from the ground as he spoke.

"Anyway, we're fine, for your pitiful sake, I'll barely help you find it."

Afraid that the other two would object, Zou Youheng reached out and pulled Zhou Ming's sleeve as he spoke.

"Oh yes, since you're a friend of Youheng, and it's okay to meet us again, let's find it together. This will also be found sooner. As for the pay—"

Zhou Ming said. looked at Zou Youheng next to him with a meaningful face.

was afraid that he would say something to embarrass him, so frightened that Zou Youheng hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at him, plus all kinds of eye threats.

"As for the reward, if a horse is found. Later, invite us to your shop for breakfast. ”

Zhou Ming looked amused.

See him say this. Zou Youheng next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That. I'm sorry for you......"

The situation is urgent, and Ye Xiaoyu doesn't have too many excuses.

"Well, let's split into two ways. Zhou Ming and I are in charge of the direction of East Street and the City Gate, and the two of you are in charge of the South and North Districts. It's also quicker to find. ”

Lin Zucheng stood up and said.

"Well, I completely agree with Zu Cheng's mention of yì, the northern and southern districts, and I will leave it to the two of you......"

Zhou Ming's smile was meaningful.

Zou Youheng knew that he was starting to mess with the mandarin duck score in his heart again, so he didn't bother anymore.

"Do you have any characteristics of that horse? Except that the fur is white. ”

Lin Zucheng asked.

"Nope. It's just an ordinary white horse, nothing special, the reins have fallen off, and there is no saddle on the horse's back. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said.

When asked like this, she realized that this horse had been with her for so long, but she had never noticed anything special about it, and she thought that she was too incompetent as a master.

"Okay, so where are we going to meet later?"

Lin Zucheng asked again.

"It's in the shop on Ye Xiaoyu West Street. The pastry shop on West Street has a particularly strange exterior decoration. ”

Zou Youheng said.

Hearing the description of his shop, Ye Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely.

"Well, we'll go first......"

Zhou Ming put his hand on Lin Zucheng's shoulder, and turned his head to wink at Zou Youheng as he walked.

"Hurry up!"

Zou Youheng said angrily, and then turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoyu.

"Let's go to the North District first, right? It's easier to get from here. ”

"Hmm."

Ye Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.

Rongzhou City is so big, and she has no clue at all, where to find it is just a matter of order for her, and it has no substantive significance.

The North District is far from the central city and cannot be reached by walking alone, so when the two of them reached the edge of the market, Zou Youheng hired an ox cart.

"It's rare to see an ox cart here."

Sitting on the small "open rear compartment" of the ox cart, Ye Xiaoyu sighed a little surprised.

Because of the need to transport goods, she often saw rickety ox carts when she was in Quanxiu Village before, but since she came to Rongzhou, the carriages are full of people, and she almost forgot about the ox cart as a means of transportation.

"It's uncommon, I haven't seen it because you don't come to the market often, especially the morning market, and it's mostly ox carts."

Zou Youheng drove the car in front and said strangely.

"I said Zou Dagongzi, you don't say in front of me as if you can understand the suffering of the people, you probably haven't been here a few times since you grew up in this morning market, right?"

Ye Xiaoyu retorted angrily.

For some reason, no matter how bad the mood is, when she meets Zou Youheng, she can always quarrel with him.

"Heh, don't say it, I've been here a lot in the past."

Zou Youheng was not convinced.

"Is it because you were kicked out by some warbler in your fireworks alley?!"

Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of warbler Yanyan, don't look at me so vulgar."

Zou Youheng pursed his lips.

Although he often went to the fireworks alley before, he basically accompanied Lin Zucheng and Zhou Ming, and every time these two were drinking and chatting with those girls and talking about life, he silently opened a private room. He who slept alone until dawn. Because of this, he was ridiculed and coaxed by Zhou Ming every time.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the North End......"

Too lazy to quarrel with Zou Youheng anymore, looking at the once familiar scenery on both sides of the road constantly retreating, Ye Xiaoyu said to herself.

Although they are all in Rongzhou, because she is busy with shop, she rarely comes here again since she moved out of the courtyard in the North District last time. However, the "February 2" temple fair of that year was excepted.

"Long time haven't been here? Did you live in the North End before? ”

Zou Youheng asked.

"Well, I lived here when I first came."

"Was there that white horse at the time?"

Zou Youheng asked again, a little hope in his voice.

"Yes, it's following me from the ...... I came from my hometown. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said. She almost blurted out the word "Yuejing". It's good to change your mouth in time, although it's nothing, but since it's an inconsequential thing, you don't need to bother with it.

"That. We're really on the right track. If the horse runs out on its own. Maybe we'll make it here. ”

Zou Youheng in front didn't know what Ye Xiaoyu was thinking in his head, according to his own rare common sense of life, if Ye Xiaoyu had lived in the North District before. The horse, as he remembers, might come this way.

"Anything else?"

Ye Xiaoyu didn't believe it very much.

She didn't want to give up, but she wasn't so optimistic either.

"There must be a glimmer of hope."

Zou Youheng smiled.

Although it was not comparable to the speed of the carriage, Ye Xiaoyu still saw the yard he once rented while swaying all the way. The gate of the courtyard is closed, and it is estimated that it has changed hands several times.

"Let's get out of the car and look around."

Ye Xiaoyu said that although you may not be able to find it by walking, the probability of finding it while sitting on an ox cart is even lower.

But having said that, when the two of them looked around the North District for a long time, and even walked through a few sparsely populated alleys, they still found nothing.

Where is it? Such a big horse, and not a cat or dog, how can it be said that it is not visible, and there is not even a trace of it.

It's already dawn, and even if it's secluded like the North District, the surroundings are starting to come alive.

Looking for it was sweating profusely, Ye Xiaoyu squatted down by the river, planning to wash his face and then go to the southern district to find it.

Looking at his own vague reflection in the water, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly became scared. This feeling was like hearing the news that Qing Lang was recruited as a colt, so he disappeared out of thin air, and he didn't even give Ye Xiaoyu a chance to work hard.

The back and forth between Rongzhou and Yuejing, the company of loneliness and loneliness, in Xiaobai, retains too many memories of Ye Xiaoyu and carries all her visions. And now, when he woke up, he disappeared, with all the companionship of the past, how did Ye Xiaoyu accept it. There is a banquet in the world, she knows that there will be a parting one day, but it is definitely not the way it is now.

In fact, she blamed herself for this, if she could use snacks to repair the walls around the house, or close the stable door before going to bed, maybe this situation would not have happened, at least Xiaobai would not have disappeared so easily.

"That's it."

Outside the city gates, in the woods, the autumn wind is bleak.

A masked man dressed in black said to the white horse that had been following him since just now.

As if he understood, the white horse wagged his tail, but he had no intention of leaving.

The masked man was helpless, and was about to send the horse back when a slight footstep was suddenly heard not far away.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

As soon as the words fell, a person with his head bowed appeared in front of him. The sky was already bright, but the leaves were too dense, and the forest was still dim, and by the faint light, Li Yan's face was full of flattery and fear.

"Debriefing."

The masked man's voice is hoarse and concise.

"All the things I explained before have been done, and that Liang Fei has kept his mouth shut forever like Gu Xiaoshu, and I have also done what happened a few days ago."

Restraining the fear in his heart, Li Yan pretended to be calm and spoke.

Just a few months ago, he had seen the scene of this man killing people with his own eyes, and in just a moment, the living man turned into a blurred flesh and blood. (To be continued......)
