Chapter 623: Wanted

When Yu Yuan was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard someone talking outside the house.

"The slave family really didn't lie, we really didn't see the man in your painting in the store today, all the officials are good, please raise your noble hand and spare our shop, this is a little tea money, not a tribute, and please accept it."

- This is the voice of the hostess of the inn.

Yu Yuanxuan immediately woke up from his sleep.

She turned her head to look and found that Xiao Ti had already woken up.

Xiao Ti put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture towards her.

Yu Yuanyu could only obediently shut up and swallowed the words that came to his lips again.

Xiao Ti lifted the quilt and walked out of bed lightly.

He threw his clothes to Curly and motioned for her to get dressed.

Outside, no matter how much the proprietress pleaded, those officers and soldiers refused to give up.

The leader said with a cold face, "Someone saw that there were guests from other places in your guest house today, and for the sake of safety, we must check them one by one, so you should call everyone out quickly!"

The proprietress was embarrassed: "This is not good, everyone is resting, these three watches in the middle of the night......

The officer pushed her away: "Since you don't want to, then we'll go in and find it ourselves."

After saying that, he rushed into the backyard with people and began to inspect room by room.

The guests who were sleeping soundly were woken up and forced to be searched by officers and soldiers.

The whole guest house was filled with complaints.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and Yu Yuan's heart became more and more nervous.

She quickly put on her clothes, shoes and socks, trotted to Xiao Ti's side, and asked in a low voice.

"What shall we do?"

Xiao Ti carried the burden on his back, holding the no-return knife in one hand and holding the curling hand in the other.

"Follow me."

The two opened the door and ran out, but they saw people on both sides of the corridor, and no matter which direction they left, they would collide with the officers and soldiers.

Xiao Ti didn't panic at all, hugged her curling waist, performed light skills, and flew up to the eaves with her.

The two of them ran a few steps on the eaves, then jumped into the big tree next to them.

At this time, the night is dark, and coupled with the obscuration of branches and leaves, it is difficult for outsiders to find that there are two people hiding in the tree.

The rest of the curls peeked through the gaps in the branches and leaves, looking down.

She saw the officers and soldiers rush into the guest room where they had just lived.

The room was empty, with no one in sight.

An officer turned his head to ask the proprietress about it.

"Didn't you say there were two people living here? What about people?"

The proprietress was confused: "I don't know, they were still here before, why are they gone?" Did you go to the hut?"

Two of the officers and men ran towards the hut, but naturally returned empty-handed and found nothing.

Faced with the forced questioning of the officers and soldiers, the proprietress had to express her guess.

"Although they didn't admit it, I could see that they should be a young couple who eloped behind their families, and they probably heard the movement and thought that the family had sent someone to arrest them, so they secretly ran away."

As she spoke, she became anxious, patting her legs and shouting.

"Oops! They haven't paid for the house yet, so they're just leaving!"

The officers and soldiers were impatient to listen to her nonsense.

They took out their portraits and said to the proprietress . ….

"If you look closely, do those two people look like the man in this portrait?"

The proprietress stared at the portrait again and again, and to be honest, the man in the portrait was a bit like the man in the elopement couple, but because the man was wearing a hat all the time, and the brim of his hat was very low, and the night was hazy, she could not see his whole picture, only his mouth and jaw.

There is no way to confirm this alone.

The officers and soldiers urged, "Have you seen it?"

The proprietress adhered to the principle that more things are better than less, and said quickly, "I haven't seen it!"

After turning the entire guest house upside down, the officers and men still could not find the person they were looking for, so they had to give up.

Before leaving, the officers and soldiers slapped the portraits on the table and told the proprietress about them.

"This person has committed the crime of killing the king, and he is wanted by the imperial court for a lot of money, and it is very dangerous, if you find out his whereabouts, you must notify the government immediately."

The proprietress hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, the slave family remembers, all the officials go slowly, and come to our shop to drink another day."

She accompanied the laughter and sent the officers and soldiers out of the gate.

As soon as the others left, she quickly closed the door and pressed her chest to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's kind of sending this group of plague gods away."

She picked up the portrait and looked at it again, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the man in the portrait was very similar to the man wearing the hat.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the guest room to have a look, if the man was really a wanted criminal, then she had to inform the government immediately.

The room was empty and the little couple didn't come back.

But there was a small piece of broken silver on the table, and two words were written on the side of teaβ€”

Room money.

The water trail has not dried, indicating that the person has not gone far.

The proprietress hurriedly picked up the silver and ran out of the guest room, but saw that the door was empty, and there was no figure of the little couple.

She smiled, "Even if you still have a conscience, you still know how to make up for the house."

With that, she put the portrait and the silver in her sleeve, and then yawned and went back to her room to rest, as to whether the man with the hat was a wanted man or not was none of her business.

After Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti left the guest house, they did not stay in the city again.

The two traveled overnight, and it was not until five days later that they saw people again.

They came to a small town, today is the day of the market, almost all the villagers who live nearby gather here, they take out their goods to sell, the cries are one after another, so lively.

After several days of running, both of them have tanned a lot.

A thin layer of cyan stubble grew on his chin, and he still wore a broad hat on his head, the brim of his hat was pressed low, and he was dressed in a short beat of gray coarse cloth, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to reveal his strong forearms, and the straw sandals on his feet were almost worn out.

Yu was dressed in a patched coarse cloth dress, her hair was pulled from a tree branch, her face was plain to the sky, her lips were a little peely, her little face was dirty, and her straw sandals and skirt were covered with a lot of dust.

As soon as the two of them stood in the crowd, they immediately merged with the people around them.

Yu curled his neck and looked around, dizzying.

She smelled the aroma of meat buns, turned her head and said to Xiao Ti.

"I'm hungry and want to buy something to eat, so wait for me in the shade of the tree in front of me."

Xiao Ti didn't worry about her, and said, "I'll go buy it with you."

Yu Xuan: "No, you still have injuries on your body, just sit down and rest for a while, I'll buy a few buns from the bun shop over there, it's just a few steps, and it will be fine soon."

Xiao Ti looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that the bun shop was across the street, and it was indeed not far away, so he followed her meaning.

He walked silently to the shade of the tree, his eyes still looking at Yu Xuan.

From this angle, he could clearly see the scene in front of the bun shop.
