The sisters and brothers spent a day on steamed buns.

In the evening, Qiubai asked the shopkeeper for a quilt and slept on the floor.

Early the next morning, Qiubai went downstairs and left the inn after renewing five hundred yuan.

She doesn't know the route and distance from Dayan Kingdom to Dayuan Kingdom, and she will definitely not be able to go back for a while, so it is really not a way for such a large family to stay in an inn all day long.

If there is the mysterious person who kidnapped them, he will find out his whereabouts, and if he breaks into the boudoir and kidnaps them at night, he will not escape so easily.

She originally wanted to go to the government to report the case, but when she thought about it, she was not from Dayan Country, so it was strange for people to take care of you, so she had to give up.

She thought about it for a night, and decided to get out of here first, find a safe place, and then slowly plan for the future.

If you want to get out of here, you first have to know where this is.

She went to yesterday's bookstore, and the white-bearded old man frowned slightly when he looked up and saw that it was her.

Qiu Bai cheekily walked to the counter, took out the map from yesterday, and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, I can't read, I don't know the name of the place marked here, look at your bookish body, you must have read a book, can you help me take a look?"

The white-bearded old man didn't want to pay attention to her, but what she said about "a bookish atmosphere" made him feel very useful, so he put down the books in his hand and took the map and pointed it out to her one by one.

"Grandpa, you're amazing! So are we in this place now? ”

"Well, yes, this is Kyoto, I don't think you're from Kyoto, are you here to visit relatives?"

Qiu Bai smiled and nodded, "Yes! By the way, I'll buy you a brush, can you lend me a little ink, I'll remember it, I'm afraid I'll forget it again. ”

The white-bearded old man was surprised when he heard this, "You can't read, how can you remember?" ”

Qiu Bai smiled stupidly: "I'll just make a mark, I can recognize it myself."

The white-bearded old man took out a brush from behind him, "The cheapest, Bawen for you." He pointed to the ink on the counter, "The ink is here." ”

Qiu Bai took out the eight pennies from his body, picked up the small brush and dipped it in ink, lowered his head and carefully marked it on the map with pinyin.

She had never used a brush, and she didn't write well, for fear that the ink would become a ball, so she wrote very slowly and carefully.

The white-bearded old man squinted at the map, and saw that it was circled and ticked, and it was quite regular when he looked closely.

"Alright." Qiubai put the brush on the inkstone, picked up the map and slowly dried it.

"Little baby, your mark is quite good-looking." The white-bearded old man gave her a rare compliment.

Qiu Bai smiled and didn't answer, and when the ink on the map dried, she folded the map and stuffed it into her chest.

"Grandpa, thank you Mo, I'll go first." As he spoke, he waved at the white-bearded old man, turned around and walked out of the bookstore, and went to the steamed bun shop to buy some steamed buns and bring them back to the inn.

"You're all hungry, come and get some food." Qiubai put the steamed buns that were still hot on the wooden table.

Qiu Doudou picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, and then asked Qiu Bai vaguely, "Sister, when can we go back?" I really want to go back. ”

Qiu Xiaobao is now Qiu Doudou's follower, he will do whatever Qiu Doudou does, and he will follow what Qiu Doudou says, "Yes, I'm homesick too, and Xiao Ash." He looked very sad.

Qiu Bai swallowed the steamed bun in his throat hard, thought for a while, and said, "We can't go back now, we will leave here early tomorrow morning and go to the small county town below."

The reason why small counties are chosen is mainly because consumption is relatively low.

She didn't want her siblings to starve to death on the streets before they could get home.

Early the next morning, Qiubai rented a carriage and took a few small ones out of the city.

She had already inquired, and the nearest county seat to Kyoto was called Huangyuan County.

She originally planned to go there, but she was not familiar with this place, so she could only rent a car, thinking that the ox cart was cheaper, so she wanted to rent an ox cart, but there was no ox cart at all.

In the end, I could only rent a carriage for one tael of silver.

The carriage was very fast, and it arrived in Huangyuan County in less than an hour.

It is also the county seat, but this Huangyuan County is bigger and more prosperous than Quankou County.

It's easy to get from one city to another, but it's hard to get from one country to another.

Qiubai was very sad, because three days had passed, and she still had no idea how to go back.

The sisters and brothers temporarily lived in an inn, only 100 yuan a night, and Qiubai handed over the room for three days in a row and asked the boss to give 30 yuan cheaper.

It was not a matter to go on like this, she untied the small bag on her waist, took out the two hundred taels at the bottom of the box, and carefully rubbed it for a long time before carefully taking it back.

The scattered silver has been used almost in the past few days, and she can't go in and out every day.

No way! She was looking for something to do.

"Xiaoling, I'll go out for a walk, you just stay here, don't run around." Qiu Bai suddenly stood up and said to Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling nodded, "Well, you came back earlier." ”

Qiubai nodded, waved at her, and walked out of the room.

When I went down to the first floor, I saw the young shopkeeper sticking things on the door of the store.

Qiubai glanced at it curiously when he passed by, and asked casually, "Shopkeeper Lin, what are you sticking?"

A smile appeared on Lin Xiaoqing's face, "The store is a little busy, and I want to recruit a handyman." ”

Qiubai, who had already stepped out of the store, retreated again, and asked with bright eyes, "Shopkeeper, what do you think of me?" She held out her index finger and pointed at her nose.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this, and then nodded, "Yes, but ...... It's hard work, are you sure you can do it? ”
