Xiqing's customs and customs are indeed similar to those of Nanyun, which makes Bai Mingxuan feel comfortable, and also makes Gu Yuhuai feel sincerely afraid.

He hated everything that resembled Nanyun.

and even began to loathe themselves.

The carriage walked slowly into the gate of Xiqingque City, and the people here seemed to have a happy life, and everyone had a faint smile on their faces.

Unlike Beirong, the people here are more tactful.

The country of Xiqing, backed by the forest mountain, an unnamed river from Xiqing from Los Angeles through the city, and from Los Angeles from the city where they are now located, if you are talking about the speed of driving, you can reach it in about three days.

The second half of the Weiming River passes through the periphery of Quecheng and becomes a natural barrier for the eastern half of Quecheng.

After entering the city, the three of them casually found an inconspicuous inn to live in, and temporarily wandered around Xiqing for two or three days, and Gu Yuhuai's injuries were almost better.

Because he was worried that Xiahou Xiang's people would find Xiqinglai, Gu Yuhuai had been lying in the room, and every time Bai Tao came back from outside, he could see Gu Yuhuai sitting at the window, eating and drinking heartlessly.

"How? Nice view, right? Seeing that Bai Tao was back, Gu Yuhuai spit out a mouthful of melon seed shells out the window.

Bai Tao went out early in the morning and came back, sweating all over, and he didn't have time to answer, so he sat at the table and drank a few big sips of strong tea.

"The scenery is good, but it's too hot." Bai Tao frowned, pulled the collar with his hand and fanned in: "It's only the beginning of May, why is it so hot?" ”

"Xiqing is like this, three seasons a day, you just get used to it." Gu Yu looked at the noisy street outside, then stuffed the uneaten melon seeds into his sleeve, clapped his palms, and suddenly jumped out.

Bai Tao didn't react for a while, then rushed to the side of the bed, leaned on the windowsill and shouted down, "Why are you going?!" ”

saw that Gu Yu didn't look back, but only waved his hand behind him: "Go for a walk." ”

In the past three days of entering the city, the three of them acted separately, Bai Tao and Bai Mingxuan went out early in the morning and disappeared, they seemed to be busy with their feet not touching the ground, only Gu Yuhuai hid in the room alone and never went out.

At the beginning, Bai Tao thought that he was worried about Xiahou Xiang's people coming over, but now he went out without any cover, I really don't understand him.

Bai Tao shook his head, then took a change of clothes and prepared to go back to the room to bathe.

She has been outside for the past three days, not wandering around, but checking the dishes and tastes of each restaurant in Xiqing, indeed as they said, Xiqing and Nanyun are relatively similar, and most of the ingredients used in the meals are sweet, as if those cooks like to throw a handful of sugar into it no matter what they do.

It can be said that it is two extremes with Beirong.

"Although the dishes here are on the sweet side, some of them are also light, a bit biased towards Hangzhou cuisine, which is my forte, so I can give it a try. But the cuisine here is already very complete, and if I suddenly plug in, I don't know what the level of resistance will be? Bai Tao bowed and splashed a handful of water on his shoulder, muttering to himself.

There are restaurants here, and there are also small restaurants.

Bai Tao thought that now the people chasing and killing them outside seemed to have no movement, and she didn't know if she had given up, and she hadn't heard anything from her senior brother that there were wanted warrants for the two of them, or maybe she felt that the two of them couldn't even afford those few taels of silver.

Now it is Gu Yuhuai who is more worried.

This person is very strange, the dignified third princess of Beirong, treats him as a slave, patrols the streets every day, beats and humiliates him and does not kill him, he has no complaints.

And after his face was cleaned, Bai Tao found that the third princess didn't hurt his face, white and clean, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking at it with a sense of grace that came from nowhere.

Bai Tao put the towel on his back after getting wet, and he lay down by the bathtub, thinking about Gu Yuhuai, thinking about who he was, what happened in Nanyun that made him so resistant to Nanyun, thinking that he might have been hunted down and killed like them, and had to go into exile, thinking about how he had survived alone all these years.

Thinking about it, Bai Tao actually fell asleep.

It wasn't until the water was cold and there was a knock on the door that Bai Tao woke up, shivered in the bathtub, and climbed out in a panic to get dressed.

When he opened the door, he found that Bai Mingxuan looked anxious, and he was relieved to see Bai Tao standing upright.

"I thought something had happened to you? After knocking for so long, there was no sound, and I almost rushed in. ”

Bai Tao smiled apologetically: "What's the matter, senior brother?" ”

"It's time to eat."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come here."

Closing the door, Bai Tao walked to the window and looked outside, only to find that it was dark, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, no wonder the senior brother was worried.

When Bai Tao came to Bai Mingxuan's room, Gu Yuhuai had already come back from outside, one leg resting on the stool, holding the rice bowl in one hand, the whole person was almost oblique, and then he saw that the bowl was full of meat.

Seeing Bai Tao enter the door, he didn't move his head, glanced at his eyes, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Your senior brother almost thought that you were taken by a wolf, but he was nervous." ”

"Blame me, blame me." Bai Tao scratched her head, without the slightest anger, sat down obediently, picked up the meal that Bai Mingxuan had just served her, and quickly took a few bites.

I don't know why, today's dinner was especially silent.

In the past, Gu Yuhuai would still have a few words, but today he was also concentrating on holding the rice bowl, not squinting, just staring at the rice bowl in his hand, as if he was on the bar with it.

Bai Tao, who noticed the strange atmosphere, looked up at Bai Mingxuan, and then at Gu Yuhuai, and finally couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and said, "Did you do something behind my back?" ”

I saw Bai Mingxuan's shoulders tremble slightly, and then he stood up and said, "I'm good at eating, you eat slowly." ”

After that, the wind went out like a gust of wind, leaving Gu Yuhuai almost buried his whole head in the rice bowl.

"Say, I have to say it, and now I say that there is still hope to live." Bai Tao folded her hands on the table, she didn't have much appetite for this meal and continued to eat.

Gu Yuhuai took a deep breath, and when he looked up, he saw Bai Mingxuan's half figure outside the door, staring at him with compassion, so frightened that he was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"You ask your senior brother to go, don't ask me." Gu Yu threw away the rice bowl, shook the chopsticks, and jumped out of the window without looking back.

Bai Tao frowned: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, won't you go through the door seriously?" Do you have to jump out of the window? If you break your leg again, you won't have the money to treat it. ”

Since neither of them wanted to talk about it, Bai Tao didn't have the heart to continue to ask, and after hastily cleaning up the dining table, she went out again, she wanted to find a suitable small restaurant to plate down.

Quecheng is worthy of being called Quecheng.

Bai Tao has walked around the street several times in the past few days, and when he returned to the inn and lay on the bed, his head was full of the chirping of magpies.

At first, I felt novel, then I felt a headache, and then I was numb.

She wasn't very interested in these birds, but she found that almost every restaurant in Magpie City, no matter how big or small, would hang one or two bird cages on the beam at the door, probably a happy head, Bai Tao could understand, but it wouldn't be too noisy.

After walking several streets in succession, Bai Tao finally sat at a wonton stall, bored playing with chopsticks.

There is nothing conspicuous about this wonton stall, even the person who cooks the wontons is an old grandfather, and there is only one granddaughter around him, who obediently helps the grandfather serve the wontons, and he doesn't know where her father and mother are.

Bai Tao has passed by this wonton stand several times, and this is the first time she has sat down to try a bowl.

The skin was rolled out by grandpa himself, it was very strong, the soup was very smooth, the wonton stuffing was very minced, the meat was very fresh, the filling was also wrapped in green bamboo shoots and dried beans, the chopsticks took the next half of the bite, the soup flowed down the corners of his mouth naughtily, and he hurriedly took the bowl to catch it, Bai Tao felt that he was embarrassed for a moment.

The little girl stood not far away with the lamp, tilted her little head to look at the white peach, and then obediently went into the house, and when she came out, the white tender little hand held a clean handkerchief.

"Sister rub." The little girl's glutinous voice is a little fresher than the wontons in this bowl.

"Thank you." Bai Tao took it gratefully, wiped it gently, and asked in a soft voice, "Why are there only two people, you and grandpa?" Where's your mom and dad? ”

"Mom and Dad are gone." It was obviously a sad thing, but the little girl didn't have the slightest sense of sadness, and then asked Bai Tao: "Sister, is my grandfather's wonton delicious?" ”

"It's delicious, is the silver you earn every day enough for you to live?"

"That's enough, my grandfather and I don't eat much." The little girl was very talkative, and it was estimated that it was rare to meet someone who would talk to her, so she simply climbed on the stool and chatted with Bai Tao.

From the little girl's mouth, Bai Tao learned that the grandfather and grandson were not from Xiqing, it was because the little girl's father and mother died of illness in Nanyun one after another, leaving not very good memories.

This shop may be able to be taken down. Bai Tao thought so.

Although she had this thought, Bai Tao still didn't say it, just followed the little girl to sit in the room for a while, and then said goodbye and went back.

The location of this wonton shop is not too good or too bad, the most important thing is that there are no bird cages hanging at the entrance of this wonton shop, and the street is still quiet.

It is the atmosphere that white peach likes.

After returning to the inn, Bai Tao paced around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to talk to his grandfather, after all, it was not a good thing to take away someone's shop as soon as he came up, maybe he would be beaten by his grandfather and scolded by the little girl.

Bai Tao frowned, quite annoyed.

"Senior sister, come out for a while." Suddenly, Bai Mingxuan knocked lightly outside the door.
