It was a completely unfamiliar place, the room was small, the interior was simple, the bed was a black wooden bed, covered with blue sheets on a white background, and the bedding was coarse cloth and red flowers, and the color was a little dark.

Outside the window, the sun shines in, and the narrow line of gold is edged, and countless dust floats and sinks in the light. Bai Qianfan rubbed her face vigorously, jumped off the bed, walked to the window with her shoes off, looked at it, and was half frightened to death, there was an abyss outside, and she seemed to be in the belly of the mountain.

It's strange, how could anyone build a house in the middle of a mountain? Where is this? How did she get here?

Bai Qianfan tried hard to recall, only remembering that she stood in the crowd and watched the strong man play with a big knife, and then there was a riot on the street, someone bumped into her, and then ...... This is where the memory is broken.

Someone must have taken advantage of the chaos to get her here, but what are you doing with her? Although she is the daughter of Prime Minister Bai and the princess of the prince of Chu, her name is very scary, but in fact, her father does not love her mother, nor is she treated by her husband, so she is nothing at all.

It was impossible to escape from the window, she quietly opened the door, there was a soft squeak, she was startled, paused, did not hear any movement, before she dared to go out, the outside was darker than the house, a small candle was lit on the wall, and she saw a quiet road, there were intersections in front and back, she didn't know which end to go, but she had to make a choice, she closed her eyes and pointed indiscriminately, ready to try her luck.

Following the direction of her finger, she leaned against the wall and walked slowly. Every once in a while, there is a small candle on the wall, and a small wind comes in from nowhere in the corridor, and the candlelight swayes, and the dim shadow is reflected on the wall, which looks a little scary and scary. Fortunately, Bai Qianfan has been tempered by thousands of hammers and tempers, and has already developed a temperament that is not shocked. So I wasn't afraid, and watched ahead vigilantly.

Not far away, there was a staircase, she climbed the stairs, the light gradually became clearer, it seemed that she had found an exit, she was excited, but her demeanor was more cautious, she slowly probed against the mountain wall, and the scene outside startled her again.

There were houses, low houses, scattered, a big locust tree hanging snow-white flowers in the east, two children playing under the tree, two little yellow dogs chasing after their buttocks, a flock of chickens foraging on the ground, one of them came to her and raised his neck to look at her.

Bai Qianfan came out of the hole with a cat, and the chicken ran away with a snort, alarming the woman who was turning the beans dry, she looked up at Bai Qianfan and grinned, "Are you awake?" Hungry, I'll give you something to eat. ”

All this was very different from what Bai Qianfan imagined, she originally thought that the gangsters must have caught her here and were ready to extort money, but looking at the appearance of this woman, she didn't look like a gangster.

She was a little stupid, standing still, a girl of fourteen or fifteen came out of the room, wearing a coarse cloth skirt, her hair was tied in two buns, there was no hair ornament, only tied with a blue cloth scarf, round face, big eyes, seeing her, a little shy, said to the woman, "Mother, I'll get her food." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, I can't take my hands off, you can take care of it." ”

The girl came and smiled at her, "Come and sit in the house, and I'll bring you water to drink." ”

Bai Qianfan followed her into the house, the courtyard in the house was open, the light was abundant, and the furniture of the old miscellaneous trees looked very simple. The girl poured water from the coarse porcelain teapot and gave it to her, "There is only a nest head at home, don't dislike it." ”

Bai Qianfan said, "As long as there is a stutter, I don't dislike it." ”

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, turned and went into the kitchen, and after a while came out with a plate of pale yellow nests in one hand and a small bowl of pickles in the other. In front of her, Bai Qianfan was really hungry, she didn't eat dinner last year, she was so hungry that her chest was close to her back, she didn't say a word, picked up a nest head and stuffed it into her mouth.

The nest head was made of coarse cornmeal, which was a little hard and sticky to her throat, so she quickly drank her saliva, chewed and swallowed it again.

The girl sat aside, holding her cheeks and watching her eat, a little surprised by her calmness, cold to a strange place, anyone will panic, this little girl is very interesting, like no one.

She asked Bai Qianfan, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Bai Qianfan swallowed hard what was in his mouth and replied, "Mountain." ”

"Any idea how you got here?"

"You guys caught me."

The girl was a little surprised, and ran her fingers around the ends of her hair, "I didn't catch you, I caught the uncles." ”

Bai Qianfan asked, "Do you want to arrest me for money?" ”

The girl was even more embarrassed, "That's probably what Uncle meant." After a pause, he said, "But don't worry, we won't hurt you, as long as we receive the money, we will let you go back immediately." ”

Bai Qianfan nodded the empty plate with chopsticks, "Is there anything else?" ”

The girl found that the plate was empty, and in order to show her politeness, she deliberately took two more ends, but she didn't expect that Bai Qianfan was not enough after eating. She is a kind girl, as if she always owes Bai Qianfan a little debt, and immediately went to the kitchen to load a plate again. This time she sat down, put down her plate, and turned to go out.

Bai Qianfan heard her talking to the woman outside.

The woman asked, "Has the little girl eaten?" ”

"After eating, six nests are not enough for her to eat, not at all like the young lady of the rich family, mother, is Uncle caught the wrong one."

The woman said: "Probably not, I don't know who the young lady is, anyway, the family has money." ”

"She's weird, she doesn't seem to be scared at all when she gets here."

"The young lady of a big family, she has a lot of knowledge, and she is naturally bold, anyway, let's not treat others badly, and when Uncle receives the money, he will send the person back without any difference."

Bai Qianfan listened to their words and slowly put his mind at ease, he should not be a vicious person, probably forced by his livelihood, so he really had to make this decision. As long as you collect the money, you can send her back.

The second time she brought out the nest, she didn't finish it, and left two to hide in her sleeve in case she needed it. Finish the rest of the water in the cup, wipe your mouth with your sleeve, and go outside. There were some things she wanted to ask about clearly.

After eating and drinking, and having the spirit, she greeted them with a smile on her face, "Auntie, sister, I will inquire about something." ”

The woman and the girl, frightened by her sudden enthusiasm, glanced at each other, and became a little alarmed.

The woman asked, "What do you want to inquire about?" ”

"How much silver are you going to give me for?"

The woman shook her head, "I don't know about this from beginning to end, I just have to take care of you." ”

Bai Qianfan squatted down on the ground, held his cheeks and asked, "Have you already sent the letter?" ”

"I should send it."

Bai Qianfan was a little depressed, "You should ask me before you go, in fact, I'm not very valuable, I want too much, I'm afraid they won't give it." ”
