Chapter 009: Reflection
After a short rest, Li placed the two of them in a small room on the side, and brought two coarse bread cakes, and the two thanked each other again.
After Li went out, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan fell on the bed in unison. The bed is the most ordinary clay kang, hard, and there is no mattress on it, only a layer of rotten straw mats, but at this moment, it makes them feel as if their whole bodies are stretched.
But although her body was temporarily rested, Xu Yuan's mind was in a mess, and all her doubts came rushing up. Why did the carriage suddenly overturn and suddenly disappear after everyone fought? What is Xu Chusheng's identity, and what happened to him? Is Xu Chusheng's purpose in saving her really to take her back and pretend to be her sister? But there was no one to answer these questions for her at the moment.
Xu Yuan sat up and thought as she nibbled on the cake. This cake is rough and very sharp, but Xu Yuan, who has experienced escaping from the famine, is no longer so particular, so she swallows it with cold water. Xiaolan was the same, sitting up cross-legged and eating sweetly with the cake.
That's right, Jade Pendant! Thinking of this, Xu Yuan stood up, poked out the door, and returned to the kang after seeing that there was no one, took out the jade pendant from his sleeve pocket, and called Xiaolan in a low voice: "Have you seen this jade pendant?" β
Xiao Lan raised his head and glanced at the jade pendant, chewed the cake and shook his head: "No, in the few times I have seen Xu Gongzi, I have never seen him wear this." β
Xu Yuan carefully took back the jade pendant and analyzed: "Yes, I also remember that Xu Gongzi never brought a jade pendant, so maybe this one was not dropped by him during the fight." You say, could it be that he deliberately left this thing and wanted us to use it as a token? β
Xiao Lan was just about to say something, when she noticed that Xu Yuan was holding her right hand, and her eyes hinted that she stopped.
Xu Yuan said again: "Oh, what is this son doing?" Wouldn't it be similar to a private life pledge in the drama when we take his token like this! Wouldn't it seem like we're a little frivolous? β
Xiaolan was a little helpless, and seemed to be about to start acting again, pinching his throat and said, "Sister Yuan, what do you want, this is the jade pendant that I gave you because I love you." β
At this moment, the small wooden door was creaked open, and Li came in, still holding the bed cotton wool in his hand.
This is someone's home, so you don't have to knock on the door when you enter your own home. Xu Yuan sighed, then climbed off the kang, greeted him with enthusiasm, and said, "Oh, thank you, Auntie, and bring us a quilt." If you want to bother to come, you can call and we will take it ourselves. β
Li handed her the cotton wool and said, "It's cool at night, don't get sick, you still have to hurry." β
Xu Yuan bowed down and thanked Li.
Li didn't say anything more, turned around and left. She came here to deliver cotton wool to the bed, and secondly, to probe the reality of these two girls at the door, after all, she lived alone at home, and she must be more careful.
Xu Yuan and Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief again. It's a day of fear that is really numbing. Xu Yuan attached to Xiao Lan's ear, and asked softly almost in a breathless voice, "When will our days end?" When will it be settled? β
Xiaolan didn't answer, just looked at Xu Yuan's eyes and shook his head, not knowing whether he wanted to say that he didn't know or couldn't.
At this moment, Xu Chu's life and death are unknown, and Xu Yuan doesn't know where her future will be, she has a splitting headache, and the piles and piles in her mind, especially this life, seem to be exploding. The more anxious she was, the more she couldn't think, Xu Yuan knocked her head hard, trying to calm herself down and think.
What happened, Xu Yuan couldn't think of a way for a while, she could only think about what she should do now.
Now the only clue is the jade pendant left by Xu Chusheng. Since he hadn't usually worn this jade pendant, although it was possible that it was dropped during the fight, it was more likely that he deliberately dropped it, hoping to be picked up by them.
Xu Yuan tried to recall the location where she had picked up the jade pendant at that timeβit was behind the rut, which happened to be blocked by most of the crooked carriage. Maybe this is not a coincidence, Xu Chusheng hopes that this jade pendant will not be discovered by the group of people who are entangled with him, and she will pick it up?
In such an emergency, why did he keep this jade pendant? Is it a hint that she is going to do something with this jade pendant?
I don't know! Xu Yuan shouted in her heart, her head was going to be scratched bald by herself. She knew that her "half-bucket of water" was useless in the face of real problems.
Xu Yuan took out the jade pendant again, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
She can't feel the quality of the jade pendant's material, she only feels that the hand is warm, and the jade pendant is very plain, with only a few seal characters on the front, and some moire patterns that can't be seen on the back.
In the center of the front is written the word "Xu" which is probably a seal, and there are also several words in the seal body below the word "Xu", but with Xu Yuan himself and the previous level of the original owner of this body, it is already because Xu Chusheng's surname is Xu Lianmeng with guessing, and it is really impossible to recognize a few more.
Maybe after knowing the meaning of these words, you can know Xu Chusheng's identity, so you can go to the Xu family and tell Xu Chusheng what happened to her, which is the only thing she can think of now.
Since I don't know it, I can only go to find someone I recognize, so it seems that I have to go into the city......
Xiao Lan held his head beside him, staring at Yu Pei like Xu Yuan, but his eyes were dumbfounded, and he kept yawning while watching, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
Xu Yuan carefully put the jade pendant into his close-fitting pocket, touched the top of Xiaolan's hair soothingly, and said gently: "Rest early, let's find a place to take a car to a nearby town tomorrow." β
Xiao Lan nodded a little confused, and responded, "Good ......"
Xu Yuan shook off the cotton wool sent by the Li family and covered herself and Xiaolan. After lying down, the tired two quickly fell asleep.
Inside and outside the dream, there was peace.
