Chapter Forty-Eight: Bathing
As soon as the sky was exposed to the white of the fish's belly, some of the entourages began to work, Mu Bai was the first to open his eyes, followed by Bai Mo.
Within a few minutes, Song Ningyao and Luo Yu'er also woke up in this gradually lively voice, Song Ningyao opened her eyes in confusion, sat up and rubbed her eyes, and looked around, "Brother Mo is early, Mu Gongzi is early!" ”
"Hmm~" Luo Yu'er snorted lightly, covered the blanket over her head, and continued to lie on the bed, to be precise, this is not even a bed!
"Yao'er is early!" Bai Mo responded to Song Ningyao.
Mu Bai just nodded, got up and walked to the river.
Song Ningyao looked at the blankets on herself and Luo Yu'er, thinking that Bai Mo had secretly covered them when she fell asleep last night, but she was immediately denied by Song Ningyao, because Bai Mo was sorting out the blankets in her hands.
Song Ningyao subconsciously looked in the direction of Bai Mo's rest, empty, nothing......
After the group hastily had breakfast, they got dressed up and set off again!
Luo Yu'er and Mo'er's master and servant got on horseback again, and Luo Yu'er said, "Xiao Yao'er, I won't accompany you today!" ”
Song Ningyao climbed beside the car window, drooped her head, and didn't want to pay attention to Luo Yu'er, so she waved directly at Song Ningyao, "Isn't it just horseback riding, I'll learn it sooner or later!" ”
"Yes! Miss is so smart, it won't take long to learn if she wants to! Hua Meng comforted.
"I knew that I had learned to ride a horse before I came, and I thought about it so much, how could I forget this stubble!" Song Ningyao said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.
......
After a few hours, the group drove smoothly as always, and Bai Mo said loudly, "We will arrive in Ningcheng not far ahead, and we should be able to arrive at noon if we work hard!" ”
"Yes!" The entourage is a little happy to arrive, after all, many days have been walking on the remote road, just last night a meal was not bad, the others are just a bite to deal with, the rest is not a good rest, to the city can make up for the lack of materials, at the same time, at the same time, at the same time can also take a little rest, of course everyone has to be happy.
Hearing that she was about to arrive in the county seat, Song Ningyao's eyes lit up, last time in Jincheng, Bai Mo was not allowed to go to the street because he wanted to recuperate from his injuries and was not allowed to move, he had been suppressed for so long, and he would definitely be able to go shopping this time......
"Alas! What a sin, so many girls..."
"Alas, isn't it, my family took my daughter back to her mother's house in the countryside the day before yesterday to hide! The surrounding cities are really afraid to stay! ”
"It's really frustrating, where did the flower thief come from, how many young girls have disappeared in the past few days, which makes people panic, especially those with daughters......"
The carriage gradually drove to the official road, and a few slightly simple old men passed by the procession, and the content of their words was heard truthfully for a few days.
"Pilot~" Mu Bai and several people stopped the horse stiff, and the whole team also stopped.
Bai Mo turned over and dismounted, stopping the family who was going in the opposite direction of his line, "This old man, dare to ask what happened in this city?" How, we've met a lot of people along the way! ”
The family who was stopped was taken aback, especially the little girl among them, her eyes were flustered, nervously snuggling up to her mother, the old man looked at Bai Mo's polite and pretty son, and then looked at the team in this line, and his eyes were mostly on Luo Yu'er on horseback and Song Ningyao who showed her head in the carriage.
"A few young ladies think they're from out of town, right?" The older man spoke.
"Exactly, when I passed through this place in this trip, I wanted to go into the city to rest and recuperate and buy some things, but I saw this scene before I entered the city!"
"I advise you, it's better not to enter the city, recently I don't know where the flower thieves in this city came from, and many young and beautiful women have been taken captive, every day there will be women who are inexplicably missing, even the county lord is helpless, and there are some people like us who have daughters, who have fled and run away in the past few days, anyway, the surrounding cities are not safe! That's all I have to say, so get out of here! The old man hurriedly finished speaking and left with his family.
Everyone was a little pensive, Song Ningyao knocked on the back of her hand and whispered, "The young girl disappeared mysteriously?" ”
Bai Mo looked at Song Ningyao with some embarrassment, Bai Mo was originally the heir of the General's Mansion, the future owner of the General's Mansion, and he was also a person with a great sense of justice.
will also dedicate his modest efforts, but at this time, one of the team is his own relatives, and the other is the noble county lord, no one can have an accident, Bai Mo doesn't know if he should wade into this troubled water.
Song Ningyao saw Bai Mo's embarrassment, "Brother Mo, go!" Don't worry about us, we try to stay with everyone as much as possible, nothing will happen! ”
"But..."
"When I return to the capital in the future, if my grandfather knows that Brother Mo did not reach out and dedicate his strength when he encounters this incident, he will definitely not forgive Brother Mo, besides, I am also a citizen of this Heavenly Empire, and I also want to do my part!"
"Yes, Bai Gongzi, I am also the county lord of this Heavenly Dynasty, how can I worry about my own safety like that, and abandon the people of Li, regardless of the rest, let's go to the city to see the situation!" Luo Yu'er got off the horse and stood on the same line with Song Ningyao next to the carriage.
Bai Mo turned his head, "What does Mu Gongzi think?" ”
"The ladies and dependents are all back to the carriage, and they are not allowed to follow and go out alone." Mu Baiyu pulled the reins, "Drive!" He rode his horse forward, and followed silently behind him at night.
Luo Yu'er and Mo'er returned to the carriage, and when the large army caught up with Mu Bai, only Mu Bai was left, "Bai Gongzi, where are the night guards?" Bai Mo said in confusion.
"I'll let him go to the city first." Mu Bai boldly spoke.
Bai Mo nodded and didn't ask any more.
It didn't take long for the group to wait there at the gate of the city, and they were released into the city without too much checking.
Song Ningyao was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that this kind of thing happened and it was investigated more carefully, but how did it feel like it was not as careful as it had been in other places before, but after thinking about it, maybe it was to take care of everything at night, and she didn't want the woman in the car to be exposed in front of her, so she was relieved when she thought about it.
The inn arranged at night is not far from the city gate, and it is a good inn.
Song Ningyao's not small team naturally won the attention of the audience, Song Ningyao and several people stopped in front of the inn, and several people slowly got out of the carriage.
Everyone pointed and pointed, "Look, which daughter is this?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, even the little maid is standard-looking, it shouldn't be local."
"It's a pity, you see that those two young ladies are as beautiful as fairies, and sooner or later they will be remembered by those flower thieves!"
......
Song Ningyao and the others heard these words clearly, but they just ignored them and strode into the inn.
"A few guest officers, please, the room has been prepared for a few people, do you want to eat first or..."
"Take us to the room first! After a while, the food is hard, and the little brother will send us to the room! "I stuffed a piece of broken silver into the little second-hand at night.
"Okay, okay! Guest officer, please! Xiao Er happily put away the silver and respectfully bent down to lead the way.
Everyone claimed their respective rooms, Mu Bailuo Yu'er, Song Ningyao, and Bai Mo's rooms were all next to each other, and the rooms of a few little maids were not far away, and those entourages were arranged to be a little farther away from the opposite or downstairs empty rooms.
The first thing Song Ningyao did when she arrived at the room was to lie on the comfortable big bed and pat her shoulders, "I'm so tired, I can't even lie down in the carriage, my butt is about to blister at me, and my back hurts!" Then he sat up and turned his neck.
"Then the wind pressed the young lady?" Feng'er said attentively.
"Good! Let me see your craft! Song Ningyao hurriedly lay on the bed and waited for Feng'er and Xuemei's massage.
Hua Meng shook her head amusedly and continued to sort out the things in her hand.
Feng'er and Xuemei soothed Song Ningyao's legs, and the other pressed Song Ningyao's shoulders and waist, and Song Ningyao hummed comfortably.
When Song Ningyao was about to fall asleep comfortably massaged by the two little girls, the door was kicked open, Song Ningyao frowned, raised her head and looked at the door, only to see Luo Yuer picking up the quilt and walking towards the house.
Song Ningyao pressed her temples and sat up, "Why are you holding the quilt to my room?" ”
"I'm afraid you're scared at night alone, so I'll make do with you,"
"But I'm not afraid~"
Song Ningyao's words were interrupted before she could finish speaking, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you again"
Song Ningyao stopped Luo Yu'er, "If you don't tell the truth, go back to your room by yourself!" ”
Luo Yu'er wanted to bypass Song Ningyao, but Feng'er and Xuemei saw that Song Ningyao didn't let Luo Yu'er in, so they also followed Song Ningyao's example to stop Luo Yu'er.
Luo Yu'er was a little incredulous, she was so disliked by people that she was the lord of the county, "You see clearly, I, who am I?" Luo Yu'er held the quilt with one hand and pointed to her nose with the other.
"County Lord!" Feng'er and Xuemei replied in unison.
"Knowing that I am the county lord, you dare to stop me?"
"Miss won't let you be the county lord, so naturally we can't let the county lord in!" Feng'er and the others naturally had probably figured out Song Ningyao's temperament and knew that Luo Yu'er would not really be angry.
Song Ningyao was very satisfied with the performance of the two little girls, and looked at Luo Yu'er with her hands, "How is it?" To say or not to say? ”
Luo Yu'er simply threw the quilt on the two little girls and hugged Song Ningyao's arm, "You see I'm so beautiful, what if that flower thief sneaks into my room at night and kidnaps me?" ”
Song Ningyao didn't believe that Luo Yu'er was this kind of person who was afraid of this kind of thing and didn't dare to sleep alone, so she said, "Feng'er is sending guests!" ”
"Oh, don't, don't! I say I say! Luo Yu'er let go of Song Ningyao's arm, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, and slowly spoke, "In the capital, I am the high-ranking county lord, although I have the care of the queen's sister-in-law, but after all, she is the mother of a country, how can the careful thinking of the daughter's family say everything with her,
Since I was a child, I only had Mo'er around me, and there were no brothers and sisters, although there were a lot of people who befriended me on weekdays, but none of them were sincere, I didn't even have a friend, since I met you, I knew that you were different from theirs,
Besides, you're so stupid, you can't do any martial arts, so I can have more protection here, right? ”
As he spoke, Luo Yu'er's words turned around, "Obviously you said it before, let me sleep with you after you heal, obviously it was okay yesterday, why can't it be today?" No, I'm going to stick to you, and I'm not going anywhere tonight! ”
Song Ningyao let Luo Yu'er hold her, knowing that Luo Yu'er really regarded herself as a friend, and she didn't want to, "If you have a hard mouth, if you care about me, just say it directly, I won't laugh at you!" ”
