42. Bamboo Forest Inn
On the carriage, Yun Niang intimately helped Lin Xiao'er bring a plate of dried fruits.
Lin Xiao'er sobbed while intermittently telling her experience in the past few days.
Originally, she and her senior sister Jinyue were going to go to Luoning County next door.
It is not as close to the border as Changning County, there are more cultivators, and the atmosphere is more stable.
The sisters had already planned to go there to do a casual practice, earning spirit stones while cultivating.
Speaking of this, Lin Xiao'er glanced up at Han Xiao slightly, and lowered her head again.
I said I would repay it, but I regretted it and ran away......
"Then why are you scattered again?" Han Xiao looked out of the car window and asked lightly.
When asked by Han Xiao, Lin Xiao'er's expression became sad again.
"It was good, we all went to Wuyuan County. But I just happened to meet a group of cultivators. Lin Xiao'er wiped her tears and said.
"Sister Xiao'er, Sister Jinyue won't have an accident, right?" Hearing that she had met a cultivator, Hu Yunniang instinctively exclaimed.
Her parents were taken captive by the cultivators of the Patriotic Empire and disappeared.
Lin Xiao'er shook her head, her expression even more sad.
"Senior Sister and I were originally hiding, but then Senior Sister suddenly said that she knew one of those cultivators, and she was still a close relative of the world, so she didn't want me anymore......"
Thinking that she was abandoned by her senior sister Jinyue, Lin Xiaoer began to sob again.
"Senior sister drove me away, saying that she was going to find relatives, and taking me with me was a drag......"
Lin Xiao'er began to cry, and Hu Yunniang whispered comfort beside her.
Han Xiao looked out the window and waited until Lin Xiao'er stopped sobbing before he spoke: "Where are those cultivators going?"
Lin Xiao'er was stunned, she really hadn't thought about it.
She was driven away by her senior sister and was heartbroken, so she finally had to go back to Heyuan to find Han Xiao, but she didn't think about where the senior sister and the others went.
Does Childe want to help him get his senior sister back?
"They, probably, are they going in the direction of Qingxiao Ridge?" Thinking about it carefully, Lin Xiao'er said uncertainly.
Qingxiao Ridge?
Han Xiao nodded.
This silly girl.
Jin Yue must have noticed that there was a change in the Qingyun Sect, so he broke her apart and turned back to Qingxiao Ridge by herself.
It is very likely that that group of cultivators went to Qingxiao Ridge to compete for the mountain gate after the Qingyun Sect left.
"Do you still know the path of the Qingyun Sect?"
Han Xiao looked at Lin Xiao'er.
Lin Xiao'er nodded, then shook her head again.
"I know the vicinity of Qingxiao Ridge, but I don't know the road when it's far away......"
No wonder she didn't go back to Qingyun Sect, but came to find herself, it turned out that she didn't know the way.
"It's okay for you to come, help me take care of Yun Niang. Han Xiao shook his head and stood up: "Yun Niang, you have to memorize the exercises." β
"Yes, Master. Hu Yunniang hurriedly responded.
"Master?" Lin Xiao'er was taken aback.
"Well, Master has already accepted me as a registered disciple. Looking at Han Xiao who left the carriage, Hu Yunniang said happily.
Named disciple.
Lin Xiao'er's eyes flashed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Let's go to the Qingyun Sect and have a look. Coming to the first carriage, Han Xiao said to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu nodded.
These horses pulling the carriage are all extraordinary, and in one day, the carriage traveled more than 200 miles.
"Childe, there is an inn ahead, should we camp by ourselves, or should we go there to repair it?" Han Hu, who was scouting in front, turned around and asked in a low voice towards the carriage.
Generally speaking, the rivers and lakes have the rule that they don't enter the forest and don't invest in the store.
It's just that this group of people are all masters of cultivation, and Xu Fu is even more overhauled in the foundation realm, and there is no need to abide by some rules.
"To be able to build an inn here, there must be some ability, and it doesn't hurt for us to stay for one night. Han Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the carriage, spoke.
This kind of inn is the most well-informed place, maybe you can listen to some news on Qingxiao Mountain.
Han Hu nodded and led the convoy slowly to the inn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this inn has a hot water wing, and the home-cooked food and drinks are ready-made, come in and restβ" A few young men came from afar, smiling all over their faces, and helped to drive the carriage and horses.
The children of the Han family all traveled with the car, and they came down more than 200 miles, not too tired, but when they heard that there was hot water, wine and food, their eyes lit up.
"Bamboo Forest Inn? would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. Good name. Han Xiao got out of the carriage, looked at the signboard of the inn, and shook his fan lightly.
At this time, he was wearing a cyan robe, a jade belt around his waist, a purple and gold crown on his head, a gorgeous long sword hanging from his waist, and a blue-gray folding fan in his hand swaying gently, properly looking like a prince of a family.
This outfit is what Han Xiao looked like before, and it hasn't changed much, but now, there is an extra dusty atmosphere.
Hearing Han Xiao's words, the shopkeeper who came forward said with a smile on his face: "Childe is really talented, this poem sounds extremely elegant." β
As he spoke, he showed some embarrassment on his face: "It's just that our boss said that this was originally a bamboo forest, so it was called a bamboo forest to live ......."
Lin Xiao'er raised her eyes to look at the green bamboos all over the mountains and smiled.
"Childe, there is still a room in this store, and the wine and food are also unique in the rural flavor. The shopkeeper hurriedly diverted the topic and bowed to Han Xiao.
He is very discerning, and he naturally knows who has the final say in this industry.
"That's just right, we'll stay for one night, and if there's anything good to eat, come up. Han Xiao looked around and stepped forward.
This inn occupies a large area, and the front door is also open, and all the cars and horses can be parked.
The stone steps paved with bluestone are spotless, and the two-story small buildings in the third hall are all made of pine, which is very quaint.
There were three or two guests in the lobby, and when they saw Han Xiao and the others coming in, they all glanced at them vigilantly, and lowered their heads again.
Han Xiao is not an ordinary businessman.
"There is a private room on the second floor, Childe, please-" The shopkeeper courteously beckoned.
On the second floor, there were a few people sitting next to the window.
Han Xiao's gaze swept casually, and he knew that these people were all cultivators.
"Let's also sit by the window, the sunset bamboo forest, a different view. Han Xiao shook his fan and walked to the window.
The shopkeeper wanted to stop him, but when he saw that Han Xiao had already walked over, he had to step forward.
When those cultivators saw Han Xiao and them, they also looked up and down.
Especially Han Hu, who is an innate martial artist, is the object of everyone's attention.
Waiting for Han Xiao to sit down, Han Hu went to the window and sat down leaning against him.
This position is the best position to protect Han Xiao.
The other Han family disciples also sat down behind Han Xiao, but the sword in their hand was lightly placed on the table, and their eyes looked around vigilantly.
Being away from home is not so casual at home.
"Bring us a table of light side dishes, and more steamed buns. Han Hu looked at the shopkeeper and said loudly.
"Okay. The shopkeeper hurriedly replied.
"Uncle Tiger, don't you drink?" Han Xiao turned around and asked with a smile.
"If the son has Yaxing, you can drink some, and we won't drink it. Han Hu said in a deep voice.
Although he knows that there are masters around Gongzi, but where his responsibility lies, Han Hu will definitely not be dismissive.
"Alright, bring me a jug of the best wine you've ever had. As he spoke, Han Xiao knocked on the table with a folding fan and said, "If there is something delicious, just come up." β
The shopkeeper nodded happily.
Several cultivators on the other side had some contempt on their faces.
These families really don't know the dangers of the world.
