Chapter 277: All Roads Lead to Rome
There was already a mess behind her, but Du Siniang was very calm, not ambiguous at all, she went directly to the street to buy a carriage, and then left this place quickly without any nostalgia.
"Where are we going?" Yu Xiaohuan was shaken by the bumpy carriage, and was inexplicably a little excited and excited.
"Isn't this a question I should ask you?" Du Siniang asked rhetorically.
This is a bit embarrassing, Yu Xiaohuan bragged before that he said that in the south of the country, he would find a pure land and put a few acres of thin fields...... Could it be that she is going to realize the bragged cow so soon?
"The place I'm talking about......" Yu Xiaohuan said, "There is no specific location, no specific shape and standard, maybe one day we will walk casually and meet it!" ”
She thought that Du Siniang would come to her senses, and then scolded her for being a liar, but Du Siniang didn't, Du Siniang seemed to have expected this result, or maybe she didn't have any hope for it at all, so her face didn't become ugly, and she still looked light.
"All roads lead to Rome." Yu Xiaohuan didn't know whether to comfort Du Siniang or comfort herself, "As long as we don't give up hope, don't stop, and don't look back, we will always find such an ideal place." ”
Du Shi Niang's eyes lit up, and she blurted out and asked, "Where is Rome?" ”
Well, Yu Xiaohuan suddenly felt a lot of black lines appear on his forehead. In these years, I don't know if any Chinese have been to Rome, and if not, hasn't the road been walked out yet? Isn't that unreliable? If the two of them were the first Chinese to arrive in Rome, this glory could be remembered! However, there were no planes, trains or even automobiles these days, if you were to go to Rome...... The picture of two ragged and thin savages climbing mountains and wading through water suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
She quickly shook her head to sober herself up, and then the scene in front of her changed: before they had even crossed the border, they were surrounded by savage foreigners...... There is still life in the robbery, in case you meet cannibals, their thin skin and tender meat are not enough for people to feast!
Du Shi Niang saw that Yu Xiaohuan was so distracted, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
Yu Xiaohuan came back to his senses at this time, and explained nonsense: "Sister Fang Cai asked me, where is Rome?" I couldn't remember it for a moment, so I tried desperately to think about where I heard it, but I couldn't remember it. ”
"I mean, when I was in the courtyard, I received countless well-informed guests from all over the world, and if all roads led to Rome, why hadn't I heard of Rome?" Du Siniang said.
Yu Xiaohuan was secretly surprised, but she couldn't show that she knew more than others in front of Du Siniang, otherwise people would have to compete to come up with a reason, so what's the matter? She hasn't figured out the secret in the treasure chest yet, but she doesn't want to part ways with others so soon. The carriage went on and on until it reached the city, stopping to find a place to rest.
The charm of the treasure chest is too big, the two of them have been in the inn for less than half a day, and the inn has become several times more lively than in the past, and people who love to see the excitement flock to it, some want to find a chance to see the treasures in the treasure chest, some want to see Du Shi Niang's demeanor, and some just want to take a look at it, and they are idle anyway.
Yu Xiaohuan and Du Siniang hid in the room and didn't dare to come out, and even asked the shopkeeper to bring in dinner.
"It's not the way to go." Du Siniang said with some concern, "Although I have never traveled far in the courtyard, I have also learned a lot from the mouths of merchants who come and go from the south to the north. They said that when they go out, they are most afraid of leaking money, and now this box has provoked other people's eyes, and they are afraid that they will get into trouble. ”
When Yu Xiaohuan heard this, she sighed in her heart, and asked stupidly, "Sister won't want to lose the box, right?" ”
Du Siniang looked back at her, her eyes were very unfamiliar. After a while, he said, "Why do you want to lose it?" This box is my savings over the years, and I have gone to great lengths to hide it. ”
Yu Xiaohuan suddenly felt hopelessly stupid!
"However, since I have been able to hide under Mother Du's nose for all these years, how can I be afraid of other people's concerns?" Du Shi Niang's eyes showed a very confident light.
After dinner, the two took advantage of the darkness and the crowd to sneak out into the street.
The plan of the two was surprisingly consistent, first went to the clothing store to buy a few low-key and simple clothes to change into, and then bought some common trades, dressed like locals, and spoke a lot quieter, so as not to be heard by others.
After purchasing their belongings, the two wandered around the street before going back.
The people in the inn who were watching the excitement had dispersed at some point.
Yu Xiaohuan went to bed and said with emotion: "I can finally sleep well, but I was dizzy on the boat, and I didn't sleep well!" ”
Du Shi Niang said coldly: "Now is the time to be dangerous. ”
"What?" Yu Xiaohuan sat up from the bed, "What do you mean, the onlookers have dispersed, why is it still dangerous?" She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and her brain was naturally too lazy to move.
"Those people who watched the excitement outside before, at most, just wanted to take advantage of it unintentionally, but they didn't dare to mess around in front of everyone." Du Siniang analyzed, "In the dead of night, who are you doing?" ”
"Thief-" There was only one thought left in Yu Xiaohuan's mind.
Seeing that Yu Xiaohuan had already understood, Du Siniang began to clean up.
She first lowered the bed curtain, put the pillow cover in the quilt, pretended that someone was sleeping, and then hugged another quilt, put it on the side of the door, and laid it out. And a stool was placed behind the door, so that if someone opened the door from outside, it would make some noise.
"Tonight, I'm going to wronged my sister and I to lay the floor here." She whispered.
Yu Xiaohuan nodded like pounding garlic, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
The inn was opened by Du Shi Niang with money, and the clothes were also purchased at people's expense, what did she have to lose?
Du Siniang took out another thin thread and divided it into two, one tied to the window, the other tied to the doorknob, and then tied the other end to her wrist.
Getting into the quilt, Yu Xiaohuan asked curiously: "Who taught you these methods?" ”
"No one teaches." Du Siniang said, "I heard it from a guest in the south. He drank too much and told me about his experience of making a fortune, and when he got the first pot of gold, he was so careful that he was able to return to his hometown smoothly. ”
I see, it's a good thing to be well-informed.
Yu Xiaohuan thought to herself: I have also seen so many people and heard so many words, why haven't I grown a little?
In the future, she will have to have a long snack.
Yu Xiaohuan turned over and touched Du Shi Niang's treasure chest between the two, and suddenly wanted to die, and said sadly: "Then why didn't you watch out for me?" ”
