Chapter 21 "The First Entrance to Surabaya"

The night is as cool as water, and the stars are cold. A cold wind blew, and the fire outside was almost extinguished, but fortunately, the fire was rekindled after the cold wind.

The tent was still warm, but Xiao Xinyi couldn't sleep after he went in, and Zhuge Qinghong outside the tent seemed to be sleeping very deeply and motionless. Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound in the silent night, it turned out to be a gray and white pigeon, the pigeon flew towards Zhuge Qinghong's side, the pigeon had not yet flown close, he had raised his hand, the pigeon stopped steadily in his outstretched palm, Zhuge Qinghong gently stroked the pigeon feathers and took a small letter from its feet, and glanced at the content of the letter as usual. Then he touched the pigeon's head again, and the gray pigeon flew in the direction from which it came, and Zhuge Qinghong closed his eyes again after doing all this.

Xiao Xinyi looked outside and thought, could it be that something happened to Zhuge Villa, but looking at Zhuge Qinghong's performance, it didn't look like it. She sighed, she still had a lot of things to do, and she actually messed up on other people's idleness.

When it was about the time to arrive, Zhuge Qinghong carefully picked up the cloak he was covering, then walked to the tent and said, "Girl, we can hurry."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xinyi walked out of the tent, and Zhuge Qinghong hurriedly handed the cloak in his hand to her and said, "It's cold this night, hurry up and put it on."

Xiao Xinyi took the cloak with his body temperature from his hand and said, "Thank you, Childe." Walked to the side and hesitated for a moment before putting on the cloak, and then watched Zhuge Qinghong remove the silk and rope from the tent and put it into the package on the horse's back.

Zhuge Qinghong turned back to her after doing all this and said: "There is still an hour before dawn, let's walk through this forest by moonlight for the time being, and we will almost arrive at the post road at dawn."

Xiao Xinyi wished he could hurry early, nodded and said, "Okay." Zhuge Qinghong led the horse to her and said, "Get on the horse, I'll help you guide the way."

Xiao Xinyi looked at a pair of ink crows with big black eyes, then looked at Zhuge Qinghong and said, "I can walk."

"I often pass through this forest with the ink crow, and we are very familiar with the terrain here, and the girl is afraid that she rarely walks this kind of barren mountains and wilderness, not to mention the waste of time, it will also consume her physical strength, and there are many things to do next, I hope the girl will think twice." Zhuge Qinghong said to Xiao Xinyi seriously.

Xiao Xinyi actually felt that what he said was very reasonable, and replied: "There is Lao Gongzi." After finishing speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, Zhuge Qinghong waited for her to sit down and handed her the reins of the horse, and then turned around and led the way in front of him, and Mo Crow did not need Xiao Xinyi to control it, and followed behind him by himself.

The surroundings were as dark as ink, but fortunately, Zhuge Qinghong didn't know when he held a dark green bead in his hand, like an egg-sized bead emitting a bright green light, although it was not too bright, but he could barely see the road. No one enters and leaves the woods all year round, and the dead leaves on the ground are covered with a thick layer, but Zhuge Qinghong still walks in front of him with a tall posture and elegant posture, and the breeze in the forest blows through the corners of his clothes, like strolling in the Qiongtai Pavilion.

After shuttling through the woods for about half an hour, the sky was already slightly white, and I could vaguely see the surrounding scene. Zhuge Qinghong put the beads in his arms, turned back to Xiao Xinyi and said, "Now that the sky is bright, I don't know if the girl minds getting off the horse, so she can rush to Jiangcheng earlier." Even if it is not dawn, he will not say a word if he wants to go to Ma Xiao Xinyi,

Without waiting for Zhuge Qinghong to sit down, the ink crow ran like lightning in the woods. Although the road is not easy to walk, the ink crow seems to be extremely familiar with this place, avoiding all obstructions and running on the ground, and occasionally some low branches Zhuge Qinghong also raised his hand in advance to block in front of Xiao Xinyi. After waiting out of the woods, the sky was already bright, and a straight official road led straight to Surabaya City.

There was a small tea shop not far from the roadside, Zhuge Qinghong went to fill the water bag he brought and bought some food, and the two of them ate some hastily and went back on the road.

The road did not stop until noon, has arrived at the city of Surabaya, only a few people at the gate of the city to hurry, Zhuge Qinghong stopped the horse and said to Xiao Xinyi: "Three hundred miles through the city of Surabaya is Jiangcheng, let's go into the city to buy some things and then hurry."

Xiao Xinyi nodded, and the two entered Surabaya City together, which was the first time Xiao Xinyi walked on the street like this in ten years.

Surabaya City has a large population and is rich, with constant business travel and street specialties and snacks, Xiao Xinyi looks at the busy vendors on both sides, and feels like a world away.

Once upon a time, she liked to pull her mother to shuttle through the crowded street market, and every time she came out, she would buy a lot of things she liked. Xiao Xinyi looked at Zhuge Qinghong who was walking in front, the little boy who used to run in the market holding hands together has also grown into a handsome boy, but now he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Zhuge Qinghong seems to be very familiar with the city of Surabaya, the street vendors will greet him warmly when they see him, Zhuge Qinghong also responded with a smile one by one, where the famous son passes, there will be beautiful people who linger and watch, However, the falling flowers are ruthless, and the beautiful son of the world who does not squint is like the little hairy child with snot bubbles hanging on the side of the road, Zhuge Qinghong Every time he walks to a food stall, there must be two or three children with hanging hair next to him, and he calls his brother sweetly. Zhuge Qinghong took out a few pieces of broken silver like a trick to buy some food for them, just like a child king.

Walked to the middle of the market, Zhuge Qinghong stopped at the door of a shop, the store is not large, the decoration is extremely exquisite, and there is a plaque on the door with the words "Ni Shang Xuan".

Xiao Xinyi saw that he stopped and waited for her at the door, hesitated for a moment and walked to him, Zhuge Qinghong said: "Your clothes are too eye-catching, as soon as you enter Jiangcheng, you will be targeted, change your clothes." Xiao Xinyi nodded and walked into the store behind him, and the shopkeeper saw a guest coming in and hurriedly greeted him, and saw that it was Zhuge Qinghong's attitude that was even kinder.

The owner of the shop is in his early thirties, his face is white and handsome, and there is an air of elegance in his gestures. "I said which big driver came to make the small shop shine, it turned out to be Zhuge Gongzi."

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Brother Ren still likes to make fun of my little brother." The two are more than ten years apart, but they look very familiar, and Zhuge Qinghong doesn't talk nonsense, and says directly to the boss: "Brother Ren, I came here today to find Xiao Yu'er, she is not here."

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, Xiao Yu'er just returned from her grandmother's house yesterday, and she happened to be in the store today, so I'm going to call her."

Zhuge Qinghong's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said, "Go and call her."

Xiao Xinyi saw the shopkeeper enter the backyard before he said to Zhuge Qinghong: "Son, but you want to find an old man to catch up?"

Zhuge Qinghong said: "What mood do you have in this kind of festival, it's just that Xiao Yu'er has a special ability that can help you and me do things conveniently."

Xiao Xin looked at him puzzled. Before Zhuge Qinghong could explain, he heard a crisp voice from the backyard, "Master, Master." "Before anyone saw it, he heard it.

Zhuge Qinghong pulled Xiao Xinyi and walked quickly to the backyard, the backyard is only one door away from the storefront, and the small courtyard is a standard courtyard. Although it is not big but exquisite, the courtyard is full of strange flowers, and the little girl with a little girl on her head in a pink shirt is trotting all the way to Zhuge Qinghong, the little girl is about eleven or twelve years old, her round face has become red because of excitement, and her round eyes are full of surprise.

The little girl took Zhuge Qinghong's hand and shook it back and forth and said, "Master, you haven't come to see Yu'er for a long time, Yu'er is looking forward to you at the door every day, you are finally here."

Zhuge Qinghong looked at her with a doting face, squatted down and pinched her beautiful face and said, "Master misses you too, don't you come to see you from here, these days when I am away, the homework that Master taught you can be practiced."

Xiao Yu'er nodded desperately: "Of course there is, I practice every day."

Zhuge Qinghong smiled with relief: "Okay, today the master will come to test you, have you seen this beautiful sister next to you?"

Xiao Yu'er's eyes were only Zhuge Qinghong at this time, and she didn't notice that there was someone next to her, and when she heard Zhuge Qinghong ask, she looked at Xiao Xinyi, "What a beautiful sister, better than Sister Yu Luo." "Xiao Yu'er is a child after all, and she can say what she thinks directly.

Zhuge Qinghong coughed dryly, stood up and said to Xiao Yu'er: "Today you want to turn this beautiful sister into your mother's age, can you do it?"

Xiao Yu'er looked Xiao Xinyi up and down, and nodded confidently: "Yes."

"Okay, you go get ready, okay come and call me." Zhuge Qinghong touched the small horn on the top of Xiao Yu'er's head, and Xiao Yu'er was full of joy when she heard this, and dragged Boss Ren to help her.

Halfway through, Xiao Yu'er seemed to think of something and said to Zhuge Qinghong: "Sister Yu Luo has asked me several times when you will come back, Master, do you want to go and see her."

Zhuge Qinghong replied with a slightly stunned expression: "Got it."
