068 Retreat
We held hands and walked on this deserted, very quiet mountain path.
Although there was a cry of wild beasts in the forest from time to time, we didn't feel too nervous, and just kept walking.
By the time we got to the next town, it was already the second half of the night, and the temperature was getting cooler, and since it was the second half of the night, the streets were empty, so we naturally didn't have much to do.
So Xiaorou and I casually found a place under the eaves, sat down, looked at the sky overhead, looked at the stars, and began to chat.
Chatting and chatting, Xiao Rou suddenly stopped talking.
Thought something was going on? I quickly turned my head to look at her.
After turning my head, I realized that Xiao Rou was looking at me intently.
After a while, she opened her lips and said to me softly, "If you find your friend and send her out, will we stay here?" ”
Hearing Xiao Rou say this, I couldn't believe my ears, but when I looked closely, I found that Xiao Rou in front of me looked sincere, not like she was joking.
So I didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing that I didn't make a clear statement, Xiao Rou couldn't help but sigh, and after a while, she said very lonely: "After so many years and so many things, haven't you seen through the warmth and coldness of the world and the indifference of human feelings?"
The world outside is full of insidious cunning, and you don't want to get involved in it, so why go out?
Staying here, let's explore the mountains and rivers together, find a place with beautiful scenery, reclaim a wasteland, and live an ordinary life.
Isn't it beautiful to have a man ploughing and a woman weaving? ”
After Xiao Rou said this, she didn't take her eyes away, but still looked at me intently.
To be honest, Xiaorou's words are indeed quite tempting, and I understand what she thinks, and if I do stay, it may be a good choice.
And this place also reminds me of a movie, the name of the movie is called Inception, which is not much different from the environment we are in now.
Maybe I'll be here for many years, and I'll only be out for a few months or even a few days.
However, at this moment, I suddenly remembered the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Brother Yu, Li Su, and others, I still have too many unfulfilled obligations in the world.
So now, there's no way I'm going to stay here and enjoy it.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xiaorou had already understood the answer in my heart, and didn't continue to ask.
We sat here until dawn.
As soon as the morning dawned, some vendors selling breakfast began to appear outside.
After buying a few steamed buns, Xiaorou and I sat on the side of the road and finished eating, and then went to the store to wash a little and clean up our faces.
By this time, it was almost dawn.
The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.
So we began to inquire about the whereabouts of Wang Yuanwai's family.
The first person I met was a young man who looked extraordinary and dressed more decently.
When this young man saw us ask Wang Yuanwai's house, his eyes immediately widened, and then he looked at us meaningfully, and said with a smile: "What are you two looking for Wang Yuanwai?" ”
Hearing the young man say this, I immediately realized that this young man's identity must not be simple.
So I bowed to him and said, "I came here with Humble Jing to look for a friend from Wang Yuanwai's family......"
Hearing me say this, the young man nodded, but Xiao Rou on the side had already widened her eyes and looked at me in disbelief.
I know what she means, because the word clumsy jing, in ancient times, was a more commonly used word to describe his wife.
This word is indeed normal in ancient times, although no one calls it that anymore, but I actually described Xiao Rou like this, so she felt particularly shocked and excited for a while.
But the young man on the other side didn't say too much, but nodded at us, and then bowed to me and replied: "The two came from afar, there is a loss of welcome, in the lower Cai Bin, the house and the royal family have been friends for generations, it is still early now, I am afraid that the royal family has not yet gotten up, two, why don't you go to the cold house with me first, and wait until the sun is three poles, I will personally take the two to the royal family, I don't know what the two of you want?" ”
Hearing Cai Bin say this, I quickly nodded and replied, "I'm tired..."
So Xiaorou and I followed Cai Bin behind him, through the bazaar, and came to his house.
As soon as I entered Cai Bin's house, my eyes suddenly widened, what kind of humble house is his house, it is simply a mansion.
But Xiao Rou didn't say too much, as if she had seen a lot of this kind of mansion, so she kept following me like this.
Cai Bin arranged for someone to find a good room for me and Xiaorou, so that we could rest for a while.
In the interval of rest, I looked at Xiao Rou in front of me and asked, "Why did you say this Cai Bin was suddenly so good to us?" ”
But Xiaorou didn't seem to hear my words, the whole person was still stunned, I asked her three times, and she still didn't respond.
Seeing Xiao Rou who was distracted, I had to retell the question just now, Xiao Rou came back to her senses when she heard this, thought carefully for a while, and slowly replied to me: "Maybe it's because the two of us seem to be kinder, or because this Cai Bin has something to do with the Wang family, so he will take the initiative to help us introduce him." ”
After listening to Xiaorou's explanation, I didn't say anything, anyway, since it came, it was safe, since Manli's news is already there, even if Cai Bin doesn't help us, when the time comes, we should be able to find it.
It's just that in the process of finding Manli, there may be a little twists and turns.
In this way, Xiao Rou and I rested for a while in the guest room of the Cai family.
When the sun was up, the descendants of the Cai family came over and said that Cai Bin was already waiting for us outside, so Xiaorou and I did not hesitate and walked out directly.
When I came to the courtyard, I found that Cai Bin was standing in the courtyard and saw us come out, he smiled at us and gave a salute.
It's just that Cai Bin looks a little different from the original, he is more handsome than the original this time, it looks like he has been specially cleaned up, I didn't expect Cai Bin to want to go to the Wang family, and he needs to dress so formally!
