Chapter 422: Bold Ideas
The days in this small city seem to be leisurely, but for people like Xie Wanqing and Yu Sufu who can't be idle, the days of being trapped in this inn are really too boring.
After all, they had nothing else to do except eat and sleep every day, and could only occasionally tease and tease Xiao Lulu, but in addition, Xie Wanqing couldn't think of anything else to kill time for a while.
At the beginning, they could still chat with each other, but then they didn't even feel that there was anything more to say, and it was just a few things, so the few of them completely fell into a pool of stagnant water, still and unwavering.
But since that day Yu Sufu made that little flower in front of Lulu, Lulu has been pestering this brother all day long, asking him to do this and that for her.
Yu Sufu originally didn't like children, but Lulu was different from other children, she was well-behaved and cute, full of cleverness, but she didn't lose the liveliness of children, which was quite popular with him.
In this way, the two of them, one big and one small, mingled all day long, but it also slightly reduced the suffocating silence of the inn.
In the first few days, everyone in the city was in danger, no one dared to go out to see it, and the streets were full of patrolling soldiers, and the situation seemed to be very serious.
However, after a few days, there seemed to be no intention of going to war, and the guards in the city relaxed a lot, and the whole city seemed to come back to life a little. In such a situation, the daily activities of some ordinary people have also begun quietly again.
After the outside investigation was not so tight, and the situation was not so tense, the innkeeper began to go out and go to the street to buy some daily necessities.
Fresh vegetables and fruits can't be stored for a long time, and these things will spoil quickly, so the stock in the inn will be eaten quickly, but how can people not eat fresh vegetables and fruits? So even though the innkeeper was worried, he had to take the risk of going out to buy some.
Fortunately, there is no war between the rebellious King Liang and Da Chu, and the situation on the street is quite calm, with the occasional small merchants and hawkers, those who are more daring, want to take advantage of the chaos to make war money, they dare to set up stalls on the roadside to sell goods.
So in this way, it is also convenient for many residents in the city.
The gates of the city were sealed, and no one could go out of the city. Naturally, the goods outside can't be transported in, so these things left in the city have all become sought-after items, and the price has grown even more.
Not to mention the rigid necessities of rice, flour, grain and oil, the prices of these things are not ridiculously high at present, but those fruits and vegetables are about to be sold more expensive than the previous gold, and not many people can afford to eat them.
Yu Sufu and Xie Wanqing, one of them is the king of the Western Regions, and the other is the wife of the general of Da Chu, they are very wealthy on weekdays, but it is a pity that they are in a hurry to go out this time, and there are not many things to bring in the Da Chu military camp.
The two of them don't have a lot of money on them. Xie Wanqing gave all her jewelry to the innkeeper and asked him to sell it in exchange for some food, but this is still a drop in the bucket, and it can only solve a temporary urgent need.
The more time passed, the worse the situation in the city became, and many poor families could no longer eat, so they began to beg in the streets. There are more and more beggars on the streets, and starvation has begun to appear on the roads.
Even some well-off families on weekdays can only take care of food and clothing at this time.
There are a lot of grains and oils in this inn, and because there are more customers on weekdays, they have prepared some food in advance. They don't need to think about it, but how can they only eat rice and noodles all day.
Especially now, Xie Wanqing is four or five months pregnant, and the child in her belly is in urgent need of nutrition, and she only eats these every day, just afraid that the child's condition will be worse. And then there is Lulu, a little girl of four or five years old who is also the time to grow her body.
As soon as Yu Sufu thought of this, he couldn't help but be anxious, he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go out to see if he could sneak out of the city, catch some pheasants and come back to make up for Xie Wanqing, supplement some nutrition for the child in her belly, and open meat for Lulu and them by the way.
Lulu is still young, and she can't stand these things all day. It had only been a few days since they had eaten these things, and Lulu's little face had changed from the original puff to the color of a yellow bar, and she looked yellow and thin, and malnourished.
If this continues, Lulu is afraid that something will go wrong.
Besides, he has a better chance of succeeding when he goes out alone, after all, he is agile, and the city wall can't stop him from anything, as long as he is not discovered, he will definitely be able to come back safely.
Thinking of this, Yu Sufu secretly made up his mind, but he didn't tell Xie Wanqing about his plan, he knew Xie Wanqing's character, if she knew, she would definitely stop him.
After making up his mind, Yu Sufu pretended to be fine, continued to play with Lulu during the day, and quietly waited for the night to come, under the cover of night, he would have a greater chance of success.
Yu Sufu knew very well in his heart that this matter was very risky, and if it was discovered, it would be a bad thing.
Now that Zhao Yuqi does not have the support of the Western Regions, it is the time when he hates the Western Regions to the core, if he finds out that he is under his nose, it is really not enough to die for a hundred lives.
But at the same time, he knew more in his heart that everyone in this inn was someone he cherished, even if it wasn't for anything else, but for all these people in this inn, he had to be busy with this risk.
Finally, in the evening, after dinner, Yu Sufu pretended to be unwell and went back to his room first.
Although Xie Wanqing was a little worried about him, seeing that he didn't want to say more, she didn't ask more, just told a few words to rest and so on, and went back to her room.
Yu Sufu changed into a night walking costume, and then quietly waited for the night to get darker.
Wang Wu will definitely not be able to hide it, so he must inform him in advance. Yu Sufu thought so, so when Wang Wu returned to the room, Yu Sufu called him softly.
He lowered his voice as much as he could, and said, "Wang Wu, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
Wang Wu couldn't help but feel a little strange, but in view of Yu Sufu's thoughtful appearance, he thought that it should not be a trivial matter, so he didn't hesitate, so he walked over and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Why is it so mysterious? ”
"I'm going to go out later." Yu Sufu kept his voice very soft, trying not to let anyone outside the room hear him, and then said, "I'll go outside the city to see if I can get some food back." ”
"You stay here, and if someone knocks on the door, say I'm asleep, and have something for them to talk about tomorrow. This matter is up to you, be careful not to be found out by others. ”
After hearing this, Wang Wu was taken aback. Of course, he knew that this was a matter of life, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you going out of the city?" Where do you go to find food? The city is full of officers and soldiers outside, and if you go out and get caught, with your identity, wouldn't it be ......?"
He didn't finish his next words, but Yu Sufu and he knew it, Yu Sufu patted him on the shoulder, and ordered: "So you have to be careful when you are done, remember to help me keep this secret, and I will go back as soon as I go." ”
When Wang Wu heard him say this, it was naturally not good to continue to dissuade him, so he could only nod helplessly, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of worry.
When the bell rang halfway through, Yu Sufu quietly opened the window, looked around at the surrounding night, and then went straight out of the window and landed on the eaves, light as a cat.
He wore a black veil, a black shirt, and there was no moonlight tonight, and the sky was as dark as ink, and it engulfed him at once, and he almost merged with the night.
After he left, Wang Wu carefully closed the window and blew out the candles in the room, creating the illusion that all the people in the room had already slept peacefully, and waited anxiously for Yu Sufu to return.
