Chapter 489: Wancheng
Han Hao took the Ah Ying in Xie Wanqing's hand, handed the fruit to Xie Wanqing, and said with a smile: "Let's come out to play, Ninth Master, you also let go!" ”
"Ninth Master, don't be angry, that girl is just playing with you," after speaking, he stuffed a fruit into Jiu Ye's hand and said, "You can also eat something and take a rest." ”
The ninth master took the fruit and was even more embarrassed, so he said, "Thank you, madam, the slave will not disturb you and the master to rest." ”
The naughty little man took advantage of the three of them to talk and picked a large handful of wildflowers from the grass. She saw the Ninth Master standing aside in a daze, ran over and held the flower in front of the Ninth Master's eyes and said, "Ninth Master, do you look good?" ”
Jiu Ye's face, which had just eased down, was dyed red again, and he whispered again: "Okay...... Pretty! ”
"Then you call the master over."
"What are you calling the master over?" The Ninth Master looked incomprehensible.
"Oh, if you want to go, you'll go!" As he spoke, he hugged the Ninth Master in the direction of the stream.
Although the ninth master didn't know what Xiao Nian was going to do, he still walked over slowly.
The Ninth Master walked up to Han Hao and whispered, "Master, come over here." ”
Han Hao didn't think much about it, so he followed Jiu Ye to Xiao Nian's side.
Xie Wanqing only cared about admiring the beautiful scenery around her, and did not notice the small actions of the three of them.
Xiao Nian watched Han Hao come over and responded excitedly, "Master, do you think this flower I picked is beautiful?" ”
Han Hao didn't know why, so he replied, "It's good-looking, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Nian hugged Ah Ying over, then handed the flower to Han Hao, and said excitedly: "Then you go and give this flower to Miss!" ”
"You little girl, what the hell are you doing?"
"The words of the slave and maid when they see the talented and beautiful women are all written like this, and if you send it over like this, it is called romance, and the young lady must be very happy." Xiao Nian explained.
Although Han Hao didn't know what Xiao Nian said in the notebook, Xiao Nian had always followed Xie Wanqing, what she said should not be wrong, as long as it was something that could make Wanqing happy, he was willing to do it.
"Late sunshine". With a gentle cry, Xie Wanqing turned around and saw ......
She was dressed in white under the sunset, and the afterglow of the slanting sun shone on Han Hao's face, blending in with the scenery of the mountains, but dazzling and charming. He has a doting smile on his face, which is even warmer and charming in the light of the setting sun.
A breeze blew, and the fragrance of flowers wafted by, but it was not as good as holding flowers in his hand, and Han Hao, who was standing in the sunset, was even more intoxicating.
Xie Wanqing stood up stupidly. Han Hao walked over with a smile and scratched the tip of Xie Wanqing's nose dotingly, "Silly girl, give it to you." ”
"Thank you, Han Hao." Xie Wanqing's eyes were shining. She thought she would always remember this beautiful evening many years from now.
And Xiao Nian, the matchmaker who should really be thanked, stood not far away and looked at a pair of beautiful people under the sunset, moved to tears, and couldn't help but sigh: "By the way, this is the picture that the book should have!" ”
She poked the Ninth Master beside her and said, "Ninth Master, don't you move." ”
The Ninth Master squinted his eyes and nodded with a wooden expression.
Xiao Nian was speechless, so he looked down at the cute little master, who was smiling innocently.
The night was clear, and in the dark night, there was a sudden torrential rain. Wancheng is the only place for the capital to go to the Western Regions. Although the Central Plains has always had four distinct seasons, Wancheng is surrounded by mountain peaks, and sometimes the weather is impermanent.
The road ahead was gradually blurred, and Han Hao and the others thought that they would rush to the city before dark, but they didn't want to play halfway. I didn't think it was important, but I didn't expect that there would be unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and I caught up with the downpour.
It was a May day, but it was raining heavily, which was really unsettling.
The ninth master's whip was whipped on the horse's body, just hoping that the carriage could run faster.
The Ninth Master noticed that Han Hao was in a hurry beside him, so he said, "The master doesn't need to make an umbrella for the slave here, so hurry up and go to the carriage to shelter from the rain." ”
Because of the suddenness of the rain, the ninth master hurried all the way before he had time to put on a raincoat.
How could Han Hao leave the Ninth Master to take shelter from the rain alone, so he said: "The left and right are also about to enter the city, it's not bad for this meeting." ”
Yuelai Inn, although it is not big, is an old inn in this city. Erniu, the guy at the inn, looked at the heavy rain and thought that although it was still early, it was better to come to the door earlier!
He was just about to come to the door, but the innkeeper Old Man Li stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, this weather, other inns must have come to the door, such bad weather, if there are guests in a hurry to enter the city and can't find the inn, they will suffer." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Old Man Li's words fell, a carriage stopped in a hurry.
Two men walked down, one of them was a man in white, holding an umbrella, and asked politely, "Shopkeeper, can you still live in people?" ”
The shopkeeper looked kind and said, "Naturally, how many people are there in the guest officer's party?" ”
Han Hao's heart was relieved, so he paid with Old Man Li and asked for three main rooms.
Xie Wanqing and Xiao Nian got out of the carriage, and the ninth master followed Erniu to lead the carriage through the side door into the stable.
Han Hao and Xie Wanqing entered the inn room, and just after changing their clothes, they heard Xiao Nian knocking on the door outside.
Han Hao asked Xie Wanqing to sit down, and walked over to open the door by himself.
Xiao Nian walked in with two bowls of ginger soup, put down the decoction and said to Xie Wanqing: "Miss, the owner of this inn is really a kind-hearted and good person, ask the guy to cook ginger soup for us, you and the master should take it quickly!" ”
Xie Wanqing nodded, and said to Xiao Nian: "You come to help me make the bed, Ah Ying is already asleep." ”
Xiao Nian walked over, made the bed, took the little master over, and said, "Miss, go and drink ginger soup, otherwise it won't work if it gets cold for a while." ”
"The shopkeeper of this inn is really a good person, I just turned around with the ninth master for a long time, such bad weather, every house is closed, only this Yuelai inn, don't look small. Indeed, the door is open. It's rare for this boss to be so thoughtful and meticulous. ”
Xie Wanqing then said: "The boss is so thoughtful, you will go down and say thank you to others in a while!" ”
Han Hao nodded.
As soon as the two of them finished using the ginger soup, the innkeeper Erniu knocked on the door again and said, "The two are objective, my shopkeeper said that the objective journey is hard, and the kitchen has prepared some food, you can enjoy it." ”
Han Hao asked Xie Wanqing with his eyes, Xie Wanqing shook his head and said, "I'm not very hungry." He said to Xiao Nian again: "Xiao Nian, if you are hungry, go eat some!" ”
"I'm not hungry, miss." Xiao Nian replied.
"In that case, you are here to accompany Miss, and I will go down and say a few words to the shopkeeper." Han Hao said.
The rainy night continued, and the second day was indeed a good day. Han Hao discussed with Xie Wanqing. I want to stay in this Wancheng for a few days to rest, so as not to make the journey too hard.
Early in the morning, Xie Wanqing and the others were eating in the hall like the other guests of the inn. And the shopkeeper Old Man Li was settling accounts at the counter.
There are not many people in the inn, and everyone is quiet when they eat.
Suddenly, a loud shout broke the silence.
"Old man Li, no, a female corpse was found on the outskirts of the city, and they all said it was your daughter" The person who shouted seemed to be a friend of Old Man Li. But the news he brought shocked Old Man Li couldn't believe it.
But the official who arrived later confirmed the words of the messenger.
"Li Wanfu, right?" The official came up and asked, but Old Man Li had not recovered from the shocking news, so he had to nod stupidly.
The official then continued: "We found a female corpse on the outskirts of the city, suspected to be your daughter Li Min, please come with us to identify it!" ”
The old man Li looked incredulous, "No, are you mistaken?" ”
"Another passer-by identified it as your daughter, and you will find it clear if you go with us." The official didn't say anything more, and led the stunned old man Li away.
The guests in the hall looked at each other, and after a while, they began to discuss in a whisper.
Xie Wanqing was also taken aback at the moment, how could such a good shopkeeper have a thunderstorm from the sky and such a big thing.
Last night, Han Hao had a greeting with the shopkeeper, and said to him when he came back. This shopkeeper Li is a native of Wancheng, and his wife left early, leaving only an only daughter. At the same age as the flower, he has already promised to be married, but he hasn't passed the door yet.
A few days ago, Miss Li Min fulfilled her deceased mother's promise to visit her aunt in the countryside, saying that she would come back in the next two days. Probably Shopkeeper Li didn't expect that this daughter would be gone forever.
