The innkeeper seemed to answer a little carelessly, maybe he really felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, and he didn't need to pay attention to anything at all, or maybe it was because he didn't want to be nosy, or maybe it was because he was busy with business, so he was too lazy to deal with people like Qi Lao, so it was over in three or two sentences.

However, Qi Lao did not intend to give up such an opportunity, he still decided to ask what was going on, so he continued to ask, "That's what I said, it really has nothing to do with us, but I'm a curious person, do you know what happened, or I'm a stranger who doesn't understand the rules, don't hit the muzzle of the gun again!" ”

The innkeeper listened to his words, but waved his hand a little funny, and then said to him, "This guest officer, your words are serious, and they really have nothing to do with you. But since you're so curious, I'll tell you, I heard that it seems that a prisoner in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince was rescued, so the whole city is searched like now, but it has nothing to do with you, after all, you don't look like a person hiding a fugitive no matter how you look at it, right? If so, you wouldn't have come to me to ask. ”

After hearing this, Qi Lao nodded with some sudden realization, and then did not bother the innkeeper again, and walked out directly, he thought about this matter while walking, after listening to the news, he also understood what he was talking about, and also guessed that the prisoner detained in Mu Zirong's mansion was very likely to be Chu Hongze, so it was very likely that Wen Ruyi had taken Chu Hongze away.

However, after thinking about it, he felt that Wen Ruyi was not so stupid as to think that the most dangerous place was the safest place, so she might not be here at all, but had already fled.

After thinking about it, Qi Lao also quickly determined his own idea.

Because of this, Qi Lao didn't plan to stay here longer, because even if he stayed here longer, it would be useless.

What's more, Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze are no longer here, so he left the pass like this, away from everything here, and he didn't know where he was going, and others could only see him walking towards the deserted road.

The weather was hot, and Qi Lao had been in a hurry for several days, and he didn't know how many villages and small towns he had walked, but they were all the same in his eyes anyway.

The ground is full of potholes and uneven loess, because the farmers irrigate the fields and leave a lot of pits and tunnels, it can be said that Qi Lao he has worked hard all the way, and I don't know how long he walked, and finally arrived in a remote wood.

From a long distance, you can see a curling wisp of smoke rising deep in the woods.

Qi Lao doesn't care so much, if there are people somewhere, let's hurry up and drink some water and eat, otherwise he will be so aimless and don't know how long he will have to look for it.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, passing through the layers of trees and shrubs, and finally he saw a ruined temple, behind the tattered courtyard wall was a small temple that could be considered complete, but there was a large hole in the eaves, and there was cooking smoke rising slowly and leisurely in it.

There seemed to be a girl standing in the courtyard, plain clothes and plain face, and her long hair was simply tied up, without any other decorations.

Qi Lao originally wanted to go over and beg for saliva to drink, but the more he looked at the girl, the more familiar he felt, he couldn't help but feel his heart move, and he couldn't help but slowly approach the small temple.

And the girl was none other than Wen Ruyi he was looking for, at this time she was standing in the yard, crossing her waist to see if there was anything that could be used here, but it looked like there were weeds and small broken stones on the ground.

Moreover, there is still an unconscious person lying in the temple, so she can't leave the person in it and ignore it, no matter what, she has to see if there are any herbs here that can cure the disease, so let's relieve his symptoms first.

Thinking of Chu Hongze's pale face, Wen Ruyi hurriedly kicked the small stone next to him.

The stone rolled to the side, Wen Ruyi subconsciously turned his head to look over, and a figure suddenly appeared in the afterglow.

Wen Ruyi couldn't help but pause, someone is coming? She frowned slightly, squatted down quietly, as if looking at a small grass, and the figure in the afterglow did not move, Wen Ruyi could only touch the ground slowly.

And Qi Lao, who had been secretly observing outside, slowly stuck behind the courtyard wall, wanting to poke his head carefully to see what the girl looked like.

At this time, Wen Ruyi also touched what she wanted.

For a while, Qi Lao just probed to look, Wen Ruyi snorted softly and smashed the thing in his hand hard.

Qi Lao didn't see Wen Ruyi's face clearly, only saw a finger-sized stone flying towards him.

"Ahh Before Qi Lao could dodge, he was hit on the forehead by a stone, and for a while, the world was spinning, and Qi Lao's vision immediately turned into weeds and a pair of shoes on the ground.

In the next second, the embroidered shoes stepped on it fiercely, "Oops! ”

"Say! You are...... It's you? Wen Ruyi rushed up with a kick, and after stepping on it, he found that this person looked a little familiar, and then took a closer look, this ...... Isn't this Qi Lao?

"You...... Why are you here? Wen Ruyi couldn't help but be stunned, then moved his feet away, took two steps back, and stared at Qi Lao who suddenly appeared here with a vigilant expression.

Qi Lao stood up slowly at this time, patted the soil on his body, and glared at Wen Ruyi hatefully after standing up, with a trace of anger on his face, "The little girl's family is so reckless, you ......"

"Alright, alright." Wen Ruyi interrupted Qi Lao's words with some impatience, and watched his eyes become deeper and deeper, "Why are you here?" ”

"I should have asked you." Qi Lao didn't have much to do about the current Wen Ruyi, he couldn't help but sigh before saying, "Do you have water and food here?" I've been walking around this place for days, and I haven't seen half of a person. ”

Wen Ruyi looked at the old man full of exhaustion and dust, although he wanted to stay away from him, but now that he had found them, he would definitely not be able to get rid of him for the time being, so he had to say, "Yes, come in with me." ”

So, Qi Lao followed Wen Ruyi into the temple.

The door of this temple is at least intact, it can block the wind or something, there is only a dilapidated Buddha statue in the temple, which is obviously cleaned, and behind the pillar on the side is a remote room, which seems to be covered with hay.

Qi Lao looked inside, and could faintly see a person's legs, and before he could look carefully, Wen Ruyi walked out from behind and looked at him unhappily, "Here, fruit." ”

Then there was a bunch of fruits with branches and leaves, and it was obvious that they were wild fruits from the mountains.

Qi Lao couldn't help frowning slightly, and shook it in front of Wen Ruyi: "This is what you said about food and water?" ”

Wen Ruyi nodded: "Of course, fruits, water, fruits, what do you want, I don't have anything else to eat here, and I drink water to go to the stream outside." ”

Looking at the current situation, it seems that there is nothing to put into his mouth, Qi Lao can only sigh and take a bite casually.

I have to say that the fruit here is really sweet, and there is a lot of juice, and there is nothing wrong with eating it to quench your thirst.

And Wen Ruyi just stood aside with his arms crossed, looked at his disgusted look and said, "What's wrong?" Don't want to eat? I don't want to eat it back. ”

There was a lot of fruit on that branch, and this was what she had found with great difficulty.

Qi Lao hurriedly took two steps back and said, "You said it for me." ”

Wen Ruyi didn't say that she really wanted to rob it, she just talked about it casually, although she hated him, but she wouldn't bother with him on these few fruits.

After Qi Lao finished eating the two fruits, he finally felt alive again.

Wen Ruyi kicked a big stone on the side again, still looking at him vigilantly, "Why are you here, and what is your purpose?" In Wen Ruyi's eyes, Qi Lao is a person with a bad stomach and is not worthy of her trust at all.

Qi Lao had no other choice but to sit down so improvised, and he didn't reply when he heard her words.

Wen Ru thought that Qi Lao didn't look like he wanted to toss, so he turned around and went back to the side room, the hay in the side room was all found by Wen Ruyi from the yard, it can be said that he slept the softest, Chu Hongze was lying on the hay, his eyes were closed, but his face was quite peaceful.

Wen Ruyi carefully knelt down beside Chu Hongze and wiped the ashes on his face with his sleeve.

Chu Hongze is really relaxed, she doesn't have to do anything, just lie down, she has been busy for so long, she is going to be tired to death.

Wen Ruyi sat for a while, and saw that Chu Hongze was not abnormal, so he loosened the rope on his body, and tied him up for fear of getting sick.

After sitting like this for a long time, Wen Ruyi didn't think anything was wrong, but Qi Lao outside couldn't sit still, he stood up, couldn't help but come in and take a look, and saw Wen Ruyi sitting next to Chu Hongze who was in a coma.

Remembering what happened before, he said, "Can you still sit so peacefully?" ”

"Why not?" Wen Ruyi didn't look back, she knew that since Qi Lao had found this place, he would find Chu Hongze sooner or later, but according to the current state of the two of them, they couldn't deal with Qi Lao at all, so it would be good to just treat him as a transparent person, and at this time, when she heard Qi Lao's words, she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, they would fall to such a point today, didn't they all come down to Qi Lao? If it weren't for him......
