Chapter 47: The First Trial
Xiaobao nodded heavily, and changed the meaning of this desert trip in his heart, not just playing, but also exercising his mind, strengthening his body, and in addition, protecting his sister!
Looking at Baili Lan looking at Xiaobao, Zi Yao couldn't help but feel envious with that gentle look. Before the last separation, the princess would have such a gentle moment towards herself, but since the reunion, the princess has been cold to herself, as if she was a stranger. At first, Ziyao didn't feel anything, but when she overcame the fear in her heart and hoped to get close to Baililan, she found that there was an invisible but unsurmountable barrier between them, which had never been seen before. This kind of realization made Ziyao very flustered, and she was still wondering if what she had just said annoyed her.
In a panic, Zi Yao's eyes were a little red, she hung her head slightly, biting her red lips, wanting to say but couldn't say anything.
Seeing Ziyao's aggrieved appearance, Xiaobao hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with you, are you hungry?" Our spring breeze cooking is delicious, do you want her to cook something delicious for you? ”
The spring breeze couldn't help but be angry and funny, secretly thinking that in Xiaobao's world, it was really the biggest meal. As for Ziyao, she is delicate and thinks more than ordinary children. After experiencing the palace change, it is inevitable that there will be mood swings, and when you see Baili Lan again, there will be something different. And Bai Lilan lost her memory again, and she couldn't remember this thoughtful girl, so her attitude towards her was naturally different. The reunion of two people who have also experienced the changes of the world will change their relationship patterns, so it will make Ziyao feel uncomfortable, and at the same time feel sad because of the indifferent treatment.
Ziyao hurriedly shook her head, looked at Baili Lan, and then said, "No, I'm not hungry, I just feel ...... I feel that what I just said has annoyed the princess and made her unhappy. ”
"Oh, don't worry, my eldest sister is not that kind of person," Xiaobao looked very authoritative, said confidently, and at the same time looked at Baili Lan beside him, and passed a look, which meant to say, "I know you very well!" ”
Turning her head helplessly, Baili Lan secretly thought that in the future, she must change Xiaobao's mistake of being good at making claims!
After days of traveling, the children were a little tired, and they sat in the carriage all day, unable to see or play anything. At first, Xiaobao would tell jokes to amuse everyone, but slowly, after all the stories were finished, the car was quiet again.
Seeing the listlessness of the two children, Baili Lan asked Dongxue to find an inn when he arrived in the next town, so that everyone could have a good rest.
Being able to sleep in a clean and soft bed and take a refreshing hot bath made the two children cheer, and the malaise they had just had disappeared.
Dongxue found an inn on the street, and downstairs was a lively and bustling main street, with various shops and small vendors, and the sound of shouting came and went, and it was very lively.
"Looks like we're here at the right time," Qiushuang said with a smile as she moved her things down from the carriage, "It looks like today is supposed to be the day of the town in which everyone is exchanging their goodies." Such a trade will last for two days and one night, and tonight should be a night market, it will be even more lively! There are all kinds of delicious foods and various small toys at the night market, so I'm looking forward to it! ”
Delicious?
As soon as Xiaobao heard this, his saliva instantly flooded, and he pushed Ziyao with his arm and said, "Don't eat too much at night, let's go to the night market!" ”
Compared with deliciousness, Ziyao is more interested in the puppets that little girls like. I just don't know if the eldest brother will agree to go out by himself tonight.
Baili Lan and Dong Xue entered the inn, and after paying the deposit, they took Xiaobao and Ziyao to the room first. But at the moment of going upstairs, Bai Lilan suddenly felt a very compelling gaze glued to her, which made her very unhappy, like being stuck to her body by a ball of mud, and she couldn't shake it off if she wanted to. Looking back without a trace, Baili Lan saw a man, like herself, wearing a hat on his head, covering his face. But looking at the figure, Baili Lan knew that it was a man. It's just that a man with such a long hat and a sitting posture and demeanor are more elegant than a woman, which is really ...... .
Turning around, Bai Lilan lifted the corner of her skirt, and with a few "oohs", she strode back to her room.
And the first thing after entering the room, Bai Lilan closed the doors and windows, and at the same time stood at the door frame, listening carefully to the movement outside.
After feeling that there was nothing unusual, Dong Xue dared to ask cautiously: "County Lord, is there any problem with this inn?" ”
Squinting slightly, Bai Lilan sat down at the table, poured two glasses of water for the two children, and asked rhetorically, "Have you noticed that this inn is very wrong?" ”
Dongxue thought about it carefully, and then said with a solemn expression: "Originally, the slave maid chose this inn to see that it was clean and low-key, and there would be no idle people waiting to disturb it. From the moment we entered this inn, the slave maid sensed the inner breath of at least five top masters, and if you add a grandmaster-level figure who can breathe, then this is simply a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden. ”
Bai Lilan held her arms and said with a nonchalant expression: "I don't pay much attention to the grandmaster or not, I'm just curious, how can so many masters gather here in an inconspicuous little inn?" Could it be that there are any martial arts events in this town recently? Thinking of this, Bai Lilan seemed to suddenly think of something, and ordered Dongxue Dao, "After packing up your things in a while, you will go to the street to inquire and see what secrets are hidden in this small place." ”
"Yes!"
Just when Dongxue was about to leave, Xiaobao suddenly grabbed Dongxue's sleeve, and at the same time turned to look at Baili Lan, and said with a solemn expression: "Sister, otherwise, let me inquire." I'm a child, no one will suspect me, and I can find out more information. ”
"No, it's too dangerous to do that." Without thinking about it, Bai Lilan rejected Xiaobao's suggestion and said, "If you want to go out to play, let Qiushuang take you out for a walk in the evening." ”
"Eldest sister, I'm not going out to play, I'm here to help you collect news!" Xiao Bao rubbed his hands and said eagerly, "You can rest assured that this little thing will be handed over to me, I promise to help the eldest sister dig out all the hidden secrets!" ”
It's a pity that Xiaobao's request was only vetoed by Bai Lilan, and said: "This matter is not as simple as you think, but dangerous. You don't know what kind of person you're going to face, maybe it's an ordinary person, but maybe, it's a peerless master. Let's not talk about whether you can get any news from them, anyway, people can casually see your careful thoughts, and then follow the vine to find here. In that case, it's a big problem. ”
Xiaobao pursed his lips dissatisfiedly and said, "Sister, am I so stupid?" And I'm also a master, okay! ”
Seeing Xiaobao's determined appearance, Baili Lan shook her head helplessly. I secretly let him go, and if I stayed by my side all the time, I would never have the opportunity to exercise. Although the ending is unknown, it is a valuable gain for Xiao Baolai.
"Well, I'll let you go. But be careful, we don't know the place here, so we can't cause trouble, you know? ”
Hearing that Baili Lan finally relented, Xiaobao nodded hurriedly. Every time he watched the eldest sister make various decisions wisely, Xiaobao was extremely envious and eager to try, thinking that one day, he would also practice such an ability. I finally have this opportunity today, so I must cherish this opportunity and make some achievements to show my eldest sister!
When Xiaobao was about to go out, Ziyao gently grabbed the corner of his clothes and said timidly: "Brother Xiaobao, I want to go too!" ”
"Oh, this matter is very dangerous, you are a girl's house, don't go, just wait at home for me to come back!" As soon as he got Bai Lilan's permission, Xiaobao turned over as a serf and sang, shaking his head and saying in an educational tone to Zi Yao.
Don't look at Ziyao's weak voice and well-behaved appearance, but she is also born with a stubborn temper, once it is determined, it is useless to persuade anyone. So when Xiaobao looked at the firm eyes of the little deer, he suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
Looking at the two children, Bai Lilan thought to herself, with Ziyao here, Xiaobao will also have scruples about doing things, restrain her temperament, and will not go on a rampage, so she said: "Ziyao should also go, but Xiaobao, you are the eldest brother, but you have to take care of Ziyao, and you can't let her be hurt, you know?" ”
With a low sigh, Xiaobao said apologetically, "Okay. Hey, women are troublesome, and they have to be taken care of when they go out. ”
"Your eldest sister and I are also women, do I need your care?" Bai Lilan looked at Xiaobao funny and said, "Okay, don't complain, go and go back quickly." Remember, no matter how much you ask, you're going to be back before dark, you know? ”
"Yes! Rest assured, Xiaobao will definitely be able to complete the task smoothly! After Xiaobao finished speaking with great momentum, he dragged Ziyao out of the room.
As soon as they left, Dongxue asked, "County Lord, do you need slaves and maids to follow the little princess?" ”
Baili Lan thought for a moment, and then said, "No need. Protecting them too well will only tie their hands and feet, and there will be no way to grow. It's better to let him do what he wants to do while I'm still capable, so that he won't have any regrets. ”
The little boy and the little girl stood in front of a candy man's stall, staring at the boss's dexterous hands with a look of curiosity.
When the big man saw that the two children were well-dressed, and they didn't look like children from poor families, he stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "If you like it, buy two." ”
