Chapter 148: Juggling Troupe
When the man untied Xiaoyu's dumb hole, Xiaoyu said hoarsely: "Can you not order the dumb hole, I won't scream, I'm starving, and I have to change into clean clothes like this?" The man laughed dumbly.
He was already mentally prepared for this little girl to cry and scream as soon as she unraveled her acupuncture, who knew that she was so calm, and asked to change her clothes. Hey, she's a meat ticket now, how can she have a meat ticket to ask for the kidnappers.
Xiao Yu looked up at the man's young face, and said impatiently: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and get me some food and water, I've been tossing for half a day, and I'm starving!" The man came back to his senses, motioned for the two dwarfs to keep an eye on the little fish, and turned around and walked out of the room.
Taking advantage of the man's departure, Xiao Yu hurriedly asked the two dwarves, "Can you hear me, can you speak?" The two gnomes nodded and then shook their heads.
When the dwarf nodded, Xiaoyu was still happy, but when the dwarf shook his head, Xiaoyu's heart sank again. Apparently the two gnomes could hear sounds, but they couldn't.
Xiao Yu moved his hands and feet, while looking at the house, the room is not big, the furniture is very simple, it does not look like an ordinary family's residence, but a bit like a hostel room, of course, it is not a very good hostel.
Oops, that's where it got me. As soon as she opened her eyes, Xiao Yu saw the three strange people, and she knew that Murong Hua had failed, otherwise she should have seen Murong Hua's familiar smile as soon as she woke up.
King Ding is full of cunning, the key is that now Xiaoyu doesn't know where he is. From the memories she had left before she fainted, she was in a carriage and galloped all the way out of the city, and after leaving the city, the world was so vast that there was no way to talk about it.
Although Mrs. Wang said that she was mixed into the girl who was sent to the Weiguo Mansion before, judging from the current situation, she should have been escorted away alone.
Xiao Yu looked at it while thinking, the two dwarfs were wearing exaggerated and gorgeous clothes, and the style was not like Middle-earth, but a bit of the Persian style. Where will there be gnomes? The little fish thought as he paced.
"What do you guys do?" Xiaoyu looked at the dwarf and asked. When the two dwarfs saw Xiaoyu asking, they showed a proud look on their faces, and kept gesturing, seeing that Xiaoyu was still at a loss, the two simply turned over two heels on the floor.
"Ah, yes, you're juggling!" Watching the dwarf's burlesque performance, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that when he was shopping, he passed by the teahouse as if he had heard the storyteller's husband, saying that a well-known juggling troupe was invited to perform in Beijing because of the prince's wedding. And that juggling troupe is best known for having a few gnomes!
Xiao Yu saw that the two dwarfs nodded frequently because Xiao Yu had guessed their profession, and his mind became even more erratic. So, are you mixed up in this juggling troupe? Isn't this juggling troupe going into town, though? That means that no matter where they are now, sooner or later they will enter Beijing.
The prince got married in August, and it stands to reason that they should go to Beijing to rehearse now. When Xiao Yu thought of this, his heart was a little relieved, and it looked like it was almost noon outside.
Judging from this time, they should not go far even if they leave the capital. So if her own assumption is correct, this juggling troupe should be able to enter the city in the next two days.
She was pondering when the door slammed open. The young man came in with a meal. "It's not time to eat yet, I'm looking for the kitchen to mess around with some ready-made food, you can make do with some food first!" The man put a bowl of millet porridge on the table, and brought out two steamed buns and a plate of side dishes. Xiao Yu saw that there was a teapot on the table, so he walked over and carried it, but it was full. Then he took the teacup, poured himself a cup of hot water, and drank it in a few sips.
Then you are not welcome, sat down with a golden knife, reached out to pick up the steamed bun and started eating, and from time to time he took a bowl of porridge and drank it in a big gulp, and his rude appearance stunned the other three.
After eating a few bites, Xiao Yu wiped his mouth and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm very hungry, have you eaten?" The two gnomes swallowed their saliva and shook their heads in unison. The young man put away the dishes that the fish had eaten and walked out.
"Who is he? Did you know each other before? Xiao Yu asked the dwarf by pointing to the man's back. The two gnomes shook their heads in unison, their ugly faces full of confusion.
It seems that this person should be the person who was arranged by the king to come in and take care of himself. Xiaoyu doesn't know Dingwang's plan now, so he can only take one step at a time, but for his own sake, building a good relationship with the people around him is the most important thing at the moment. I don't know if Murong Hua and Yue Gongzi can track it down.
Listening to Murong Hua's meaning at the city gate in the morning, the Hou Ye should not have said that the second lady of the Hou Mansion was robbed, but he just fled. Although this is to maintain her reputation, it is obvious that she can only find it secretly, and it is unlikely that the whole city will be searched.
The scene at the city gate in the morning should fall into the eyes of many well-intentioned people, leading everyone's eyes to the outside of the city. And then what? King Ding will secretly Chen Cang to get himself back to the city! Xiao Yu suddenly figured out the intention of King Ding, and couldn't help but secretly admire.
When the young man came in again, he brought in a large bucket of hot water, and put a set of clean coarse cloth clothes on the table, and he scratched his head, and his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing, and called the two dwarfs out with a red face.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Xiao Yu immediately bolted the door, but only one side of the door had a window in this room, and there was not a single hole in the other three walls, which was why the young man could stay outside the house with confidence.
Xiao Yu thought depressedly for a while, but decided to solve her personal hygiene problem first, and after tossing for more than a day, she felt stinky to death.
After hastily washing her hair and taking a bath, Xiaoyu felt much more refreshed. The man gave it to her, but the disfigured things on her face did not change because of the water, and even Xiaoyu's hands were still the same burnt yellow and rough color.
Xiaoyu changed his clothes, and the man brought a set of men's clothes, coarse cloth short brown and long pants, Xiaoyu couldn't be picky, reluctantly put it on, and tied the fat waist with a belt.
Xiao Yu found a bronze mirror in the room, and when he looked at it, he was startled. With a puffy face and a burnt yellow complexion, Fang Cai Xiaoyu has always felt that the dwarf is ugly, but now he sees that he is as ugly as the dwarf.
She wasn't very tall, only a little taller than the two gnomes, maybe the two dwarfs regarded her as her kind, no wonder the two dwarfs were so kind to her. Murong Hua actually had doubts in the morning, and Xiao Yu had to admire Murong Hua's observation.
The jewelry on his head was only a small silver hairpin and the ebony hairpin given by Murong Hua, Xiaoyu hid the silver hairpin in his belt, and only used the ebony hairpin to pull his hair into a men's bun. The ebony hairpin is black and inconspicuous, it should not arouse suspicion, and the silver hairpin may be able to change some food at a critical moment.
As he was cleaning up, the man outside the door knocked lightly and asked, "Are you alright?" Xiao Yu sighed slightly, stepped forward and opened the latch and said, "Okay, is there something wrong?" ”
The man smiled and said, "We're going to change places!" After speaking, without waiting for Xiaoyu to react, he quickly clicked Xiaoyu's dumb acupoint with his fingers, but fortunately, for some reason, he didn't even click Xiaoyu's other acupuncture points.
Xiao Yu glared at the man twice and walked out obediently. The room she was in was on the second floor, and now there was a commotion downstairs, and it was probably the jugglers who were packing up the cages. The man put his hand on Xiaoyu's back and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, be obedient, don't want to run!" Xiao Yu turned his head and nodded to the man, and followed the dwarf downstairs.
Hearing the rattling of the stairs, everyone looked upstairs, and saw three ugly gnomes and a young man walking downstairs, one of the dwarfs was obviously sick, his face was scorched, and his figure looked much thinner than the other two dwarves, and the young man reached out to help him.
Because the dwarf was so ugly, everyone didn't want to look at it, and they all quickly lowered their heads again. Xiao Yu took advantage of this moment to see the faces of everyone downstairs, but unfortunately none of them seemed familiar, it seemed that Yue Gongzi and Murong Hua had not traced them here.
A few people went downstairs, just in time to see a person who looked like a steward walking in, and said to an old man with a red face and a satin robe downstairs: "Master Jia, you can clean up, don't miss the time!" ”
The leader of the Najia group said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's okay right away, you can rest assured, you won't miss your business!" ”
Steward He said with a smile: "The organizer of the Jia regiment is old, so he is naturally relieved, but my master is very anxious, and he has long heard of the name of your regiment, and now that he heard that your regiment has entered Beijing, he immediately urged me to invite you, looking forward to seeing it!" ”
Hearing this, Master Jia touched his hand in his sleeve, and then affectionately took Steward He's hand and said, "Thank you for taking care of Steward He, thank you first!" ”
Steward He's hand retracted into his sleeve and then said with a smile on his face: "Master Jia is too polite, then I'll wait outside first, you guys pack up and come out quickly!" ”
Xiao Yu stood aside, coldly looking at the old and young in this juggling troupe, in addition to the two dwarfs around him, there were also two dwarfs who could not tell their age, and they looked extremely ugly. In addition, there are a few girls of six or seven years old who are packing up boxes and swords.
Carrying boxes and cages to the carriage were several young and middle-aged men dressed in short clothes, and it seemed that this juggling troupe was really not small.
Listening to the words of the steward and the head of the group just now, I was in a hurry to perform in a nobleman's mansion. Xiao Yu suddenly had an expectation in his heart, maybe he went to the house he knew well, and he would have a chance to escape.
At this time, the sound of opening the door came from the second floor, and a delicate voice came: "Dad, my daughter is packed up, she can go!" Xiao Yu raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a face that was disgusting and joyful revealed, with willow eyebrows, hibiscus face, and a pair of apricot kernel eyes turning straight away, it was actually a young woman.
