067 Asking Directions
Originally, Xiaorou wanted to say something more, but after such a frantic persuasion from me, she had forgotten what she wanted to say.
So, Xiaorou had no choice but to nod obediently.
After yesterday's day of running outside, it was obvious that Xiaorou was too tired, and it didn't take long for her to lie on the bed and fall asleep leisurely.
Sleeping Xiaorou, with an even breath, gentle and quiet, I stood aside, looking at her sleeping, and a ripple suddenly rippled in my heart.
couldn't help but sigh: "How happy Li Ling was back then, there was such a good wife in the family!" ”
Thinking of this, I even have a desire to stay here forever and always accompany Xiaorou to live in such an era.
In fact, sometimes I think about it, it is good to live in ancient times, in this era, the folk customs are relatively simple, there is not so much deception, everyone is made at sunrise and rests at sunset.
People sometimes experience more things, and only then do they understand the word ordinary, which is easy to say, but how precious it is to be able to obtain it.
Thinking of this, I sighed faintly and gently covered Xiaorou with the quilt.
Sitting on the sidelines, I also closed my eyes and fell asleep before I knew it.
It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed like this, although it's in this world of bracelets, but because of Xiaorou by my side, plus this is ancient, the folk customs are simple, no one will think about framing themselves, so I will close my eyes without pressure.
I don't know how long I slept this night, but when I opened my eyes, I felt some dust on my body, and when I opened my eyes, I found a quilt on my body.
I turned my head to look and found that Xiaorou had already sat up, sitting near me, with one hand on her cheek, looking at me with a smart gaze, and her silky waterfall hair was scattered casually on her shoulders......
Seeing that I was awake, Xiao Rou quickly took her eyes back.
I put the quilt on the bed, and then I asked her, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
Xiao Rou glanced at me before replying softly, "It's almost a whole day, it's just early in the morning!" ”
"Oh......"
After hearing Xiao Rou's words, I nodded lightly, and I was silent all the way, Xiao Rou and I cleaned up a little, and then retreated from the guest room and walked down the street.
After changing into clothes, Xiaorou bought me a headscarf to wrap on my head, so that it didn't look any different from ordinary ancient people, and when I walked on the street, there were not so many people looking at us.
It's just that many people will set their eyes on Xiao Rou along the way, but Xiao Rou has also been prepared, wearing the kind of hat wrapped in a scarf, looking like a woman.
Walking on the road, Xiaorou and I began to inquire if we had seen a girl in fancy dress.
Everyone shook their heads at first, but what I knew for sure was that the road must have been the one that Manly had walked.
But inferring from the time, she has been walking on this road for about a month or two, which means that it is really unknown where Manli has gone in the past two months.
Fortunately, we still had plenty of time, so we began to inquire carefully about Manli's whereabouts in this town.
After a whole day of searching, finally in the evening, we learned Manli's whereabouts from the mouth of a shopkeeper.
In these shops in ancient times, due to the contact with some three religions and nine streams all day long, the shopkeeper can basically be regarded as a role of inquiring.
As soon as he saw that we were here to find someone, the shopkeeper suddenly rolled his eyes, first served us a small dish, and then said a lot of innocuous words, but he made it clear that he had seen Manli.
When the shopkeeper talks, he always sells guanzi, and he is busy, sometimes he has to deal with other customers, so I sat here with Xiaorou and asked for a long time, but I didn't ask a detailed reason, which made me anxious, and I even had the urge to rush forward and slap him twice.
However, at this moment, Xiaorou directly grabbed me and signaled me not to be impulsive.
Then, I saw Xiao Rou take out a little broken silver from her arms, call Xiao Er over, and push the broken silver in front of him.
Seeing the broken silver on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up on the spot, and he was overjoyed.
Seeing Xiao Er's reaction, I immediately became angry.
However, Xiao Rou smiled faintly and said to Xiao Er: "I know that you are usually very busy and very hard, so I hope to smile at this little bit of silver, but please tell us the truth what you know!" ”
After hearing Xiao Rou's words, the shopkeeper nodded again and again, with a big mouth, he was about to pull it to the back of his head, and carried all the broken silver on the table in his arms.
This bit of broken silver is equivalent to his usual salary for two months, perhaps for fear that we will regret it, after the shopkeeper picked up the silver, he hurriedly said to us: "Two, the girl you are looking for is very weak a few days ago, and it happened that the young lady in Wang Yuanwai's house in the next town saw her and took her back, I know so much, and then in the future, you should go to Wang Yuanwai to inquire!" ”
After hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Xiaorou and I exchanged glances with each other, and then I couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper: "Excuse me, how should this Wang Yuan's house go?" ”
"From here, it is about 20 miles away, this road is full of forests, passing by a small hill, after passing this hill, it is still a small town, that town is bigger than this town, you will inquire carefully after you get to that town, Wang Yuan is a very big family in that town, so it is very easy to inquire."
After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Xiaorou and I didn't express too much, and thanked him again, and then set off and began to continue to rush out according to what Xiao Er said.
Since it was already dark outside, I originally wanted to find a place to rest again, but Xiaorou said, let's hurry up.
So the two of us walked between the mountains with our swords in hand.
Out of the town, there was a dense jungle on both sides, and from time to time there would be a low cry of birds and wolves.
It was the first time I had actually heard a wolf howl in real life, and I was a little surprised and a little nervous.
As if sensing the abnormality, Xiao Rou held my hand, and felt the warmth between my fingers, I couldn't help but turn my head and find that Xiao Rou was also raising her head and staring at me quietly.
Looking at each other, Xiao Rou showed me a faint smile, looking at her smile, I was originally a little nervous, and suddenly relaxed a lot......
