Xiao Er couldn't help but snort, and leaned back with a smile. Chu Qingruo and his party couldn't help but look at each other, and Han Ling'er was even more puzzled, did she ask any funny questions?

Xiao Er laughed breathlessly: "Girl, we are a famous Baicheng here, why didn't you even inquire about what this place was, so you entered the city in the middle of the night?" Even if you are bold, you are not scared to death, hahaha! ”

Han Ling'er was furious by his inexplicable laughter, raised his hand and pulled out his saber and put it on Xiao Er's neck, successfully making his laughter stop like a duck choked by the neck. "Talk back!"

Xiao Er's face changed suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead all of a sudden, my mother, where did this female bandit come from, and she lit up if she didn't agree with her, "Hey, the girl has something to say." Our place, called White City, looks like a town, but it's actually just a market. ”

"What? Bazaar? What bazaar? Kangzi asked, "The map clearly indicates that there is a town here!" "Could it be that I was wrong?

"You, brother, you read that right. The town is five miles directly in front of the White City, not far away, and it won't take much time to walk through.

We have always been a market for white goods here, and there were people living in the past. But later, our white goods business here became bigger and bigger, and the people who ran the white business in the entire Great Yan Dynasty came here to buy, and those villagers who originally lived here thought it was unlucky to live here, so they all moved to the town.

The houses you see are all white shops, which are open for business during the day, and when they close at night, they all go back to the town. ”

"Then why is your inn still open?" Han Ling'er heard what he said clearly, and then put away the sword in his hand.

Xiao Er touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief: "Some guests often come in the middle of the night and go back at noon in order to buy in order to catch up with the morning market, our inn is the only inn in this town, why don't you make such money?" ”

Chu Qingruo and Mother Zhou couldn't help but cover their mouths and snickered after hearing this, and Kang Zi scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "What, don't blame me, this place looks eerie, that ...... It's normal for me to be scared! ”

Mother Zhou held back her laughter, scooped a bowl of soup and looked in front of him: "Yes, yes, yes, such a scary place, it is normal for Kangzi to be scared when he drives the carriage alone at night, you are not allowed to make fun of him." Come, Kangzi, drink a bowl of soup to suppress the shock! ”

Chu Qingruo and Han Ling'er laughed even more fiercely when they heard this, and even Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but turn his head and shrugged his shoulders.

Before dawn on the second day, Chu Qingruo was woken up by the noisy bargaining sound outside the window. I stood in front of the window, pushed it open, and looked downstairs.

It turns out that it is really like what Xiao Er said, in the daytime, it is really lively here. Traders came and went, some in luxurious carriages, some in horse-drawn carts full of white goods, and some with boxes on their shoulders, coming and going on the endless flow of streets.

"Wow!" Ah Yan wagged its short tail and grabbed her legs for a hug. Chu Qingruo picked it up dotingly, and gently tapped its nose with his own nose: "What's wrong?" Ahh Are you hungry? ”

Ah Qian did not respond to her intimacy, but kept shouting out the window: "Wangwang! Chu Qingruo looked in the direction it was called, and didn't find anything abnormal.

Turning his head and gently patting it on the top of the head: "You little villain, your temper is getting worse and worse, are you hungry?" Well, let's go, let's eat! ”

As he spoke, he put it down, opened the door, and raised his feet to step out of the door. Unexpectedly, Ah Qian rushed out of the room in front of her and ran downstairs.

"Hey...... Ah Yan, where are you going, come back quickly, Ah Yan! Mother Zhou's shouts sounded downstairs, and Chu Qingruo ran down in three steps and two steps, "Miss, Ah Liang went there, Kangzi and Ling'er went to chase after you!" ”

After saying that she knew, she picked up her skirt and chased out. "Ahh Ahh After all, the two-legged one can't outrun the four-legged one, and Chu Qingruo, who chased after Kangzi and Ling'er separately, soon lost his trace, and wandered around the market without any direction.

Suddenly, there was a violent and familiar dog barking not far away, Chu Qingruo rushed into the alley when he heard the sound, only to see an upside-down basket walking forward with the barking of Ah Yan.

Chu Qingruo stepped forward, opened the basket funny, and reached out to hold it in his arms, which was still yelling at the other end of the alley: "You, now you are getting more and more naughty, look at you, you have made yourself dirty and smelly, and you will trouble Ling'er to give you a bath when you go back!" ”

"Woohoo!" Ah Yan kept calling forward in her arms, and kept struggling and twisting her body to get off the ground. Chu Qingruo had never seen Ah Qian in such a situation, and couldn't help but look at the other end of the alley in confusion, what made it so abnormal.

Everywhere Chu Qingruo's eyes went, he saw a cropper man wearing a beige-colored coarse cloth shirt, a pair of navy blue coarse cloth pants, and sleeves and trousers pulling up his sleeves and trousers and walking out of the alley.

Although Chu Qingruo didn't have time to see the figure of that person clearly, it was only a short glance, but it was enough to make her world like the Dragon Palace that had been stirred up by Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick.

Far! That figure seems to be Wen Yuan!

Hurriedly put it down, as soon as Ah Qian landed, he rushed out like a black arrow, Chu Qingruo was like crazy, he didn't even bother to pull it up when his hair was scattered, and he chased Ah Qian out of the alley with his skirt.

This time Ah Qian was very smart, he knew that he could run a little way, so he waited for the hostess behind him, and attracted the hostess with his scream. A man and a dog chased and stopped like this, chasing the back all the way to a ferry on the outskirts of Baicheng and Baicheng.

When Chu Qingruo felt the ferry, he saw that only Ah Qian was on the ferry, shouting at a boat that had rowed away, but he didn't see that figure again.

Suddenly, a cool cold wind blew by the river, and a misty drizzle fell. When Kang Zi and Han Ling'er looked for the ferry with an umbrella, they saw Chu Qingruo's thin figure standing alone in the drizzle of the ferry, and Ah Qian was sitting straight at her feet, one big and one small, looking so lost and helpless in the still cold and biting spring rain.

"Sister Qingruo (Miss)!" Kang Zi and Han Ling'er called her in unison.

"I'm fine, Ah Yan, let's go." Chu Qingruo said to Ah Yan in frustration.

Her face was very ugly, could it be that Ah obedient recognized the wrong person?

No, no, Ah Yan's nose can even be traced when she leaves the capital, and it is impossible to admit her mistake. Ah Qian was given to him by Wen Yuan, he should have seen Ah Qian. But why doesn't he even recognize Ah Qiang? Could it be that he has something on him that Wen Yuan carries with him? So he was also contaminated with Wenyuan's smell, so Ah Yan would chase him all the way?

Yes, it must be so! Maybe that person can find out Wen Yuan's news! However, there is a vast sea of people, and I can't even see his face clearly, how can I inquire?

Chu Qingruo sat at the table in the inn, the chopsticks in his hand poked at the rice in the bowl, thinking absentmindedly.

Kang Zixing walked in from outside: "Miss, I inquired, the boat at that ferry is the official ferry between Baicheng and Chuzhou, and there is a boat every three days or so. It takes about seven or eight days to get from Baicheng to Chuzhou by water, and if we travel day and night, we can also reach Chuzhou in about six or seven days! ”

Chu Qingruo was overjoyed: "Okay, then we will set off after dinner, but we will have to work hard for the two of you along the way." ”

Han Ling'er smiled and took her hand: "What did Sister Qingruo say, with the news of my brother-in-law, it would be a good thing, since you asked me to call you a sister, what did you say to me about hard work or not?" ”

Kang Zi and Zhou's mother also nodded, and Chu Qingruo's heart was hot: "Okay, don't say it, don't say it." Then let's finish eating and leave! ”

Chu Qingruo and his party left Baicheng and rushed to Chuzhou day and night.

"Miss, there's a tea shed in front, where should we go to rest and have some refreshments?" Han Ling'er gently pulled the reins, turned around and asked into the carriage.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Chu Qingruo poked his head out and looked forward, "Okay, it just so happens that we are all hungry." ”

Han Ling'er smiled: "Okay! With a whip, he drove the carriage to the side of the road next to the tea shed and stopped.

The tea shed on the official road is different from the general tea shed, in order to facilitate the passing carriages to rest better, the tea shed here is also specially enclosed with a horse circle, and a horse trough is also placed in it for the carriages to feed the horses.

Kangzi bought some horse feed and pulled the carriage to the horse pen to feed the horses, and Zhou's mother and Han Ling'er followed Chu Qingruo into the tea shed and found a rather spacious seat and sat down. "Man, please bring us some buns and a good pot of tea."

Chu Qingruo sat at the table with Ah Qian in her arms, preoccupied.

Mother Zhou opened her mouth to comfort her: "Miss, don't worry, we have three days to go to Chuzhou, when the time comes, we will go to the ferry to watch, as long as the boat arrives, we will definitely be able to find that person." ”

In order not to worry everyone, Chu Qingruo had to nod with a smile.

"Hiss~~" A loud horse roar, accompanied by the warm greeting of the tea shed guys, came into Chu Qingruo's ears, she turned around curiously, only to see a beautiful and luxurious carriage parked in front of the tea shed.

"Huh~~~" The three fast horses that followed stopped steadily next to the carriage, and immediately a white, two black and three figures got off the horse, walked to the carriage, and called softly: "Cousin, there is a tea shed here, come down and rest." ”

The curtain of the car was raised, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old dressed and dressed as a maid came down. Putting down a stool, he said softly: "Please madam, madam, be careful." The soft voice attracted the people resting in the tea shed to be like Chu Qingruo, and they couldn't help but look back at the carriage.
