The two returned to the room, sat down with the boss and his wife and Miao Zhen, and the five of them to seriously discuss the matter of Miao Zhen going to the Duchy of Deer.

The boss was the first to speak: "Miao Zhen, we didn't stop you from looking for your family, but at least let us go with you, right?" In case you can't find them, we can take you back, you're alone, we're really not at ease! ”

Miao Zhen shook his head, "I already owe you too much to the boss, and I can't trouble you anymore." ”

"What does it matter? You are willing to go with Brother Xu Shuo, why can't we? The boss felt aggrieved and involuntarily raised the volume.

Miao Zhen still shook his head, "Brother Xu Shuo is on the way, you are different." ”

"You can just let us go on a tour, and we won't get in your way." The boss was bitter.

"However, boss, you and I both know that this is not a tour, but you just want to take care of me." Miao Zhen looked directly into the boss's eyes, and said in a tone that did not match her age: "The tavern has been sold to the black scarf thief, I don't know if the money you have saved is enough to open a new store, and the next livelihood problems have not been solved, where do you have spare money to accompany me to the Duchy of Deer?" ”

The boss stood up with a "poof".

"Money? Can you be a little kid and not withdraw money all day long? Money is something we adults worry about, even if we go with you, how much can it cost, can I starve to death if I have less money? ”

Seeing that the boss was a little excited, the proprietress hurriedly tugged on his arm and whispered to him not to do this.

Miao Zhen lowered her head and was silent, but she still showed her resoluteness invisibly.

The boss softened and sat down with a sigh.

At this time, Tina appeared as a big sister.

"Miao Zhen, since you said money, then let's talk about money, you just said that you definitely need travel expenses to go to the Principality of Zhulu, do you have this money? Or are you going to let Xu Shuo pay the money? ”

"Ah, I ...... money" Xu Shuo wanted to say something, but was glared back by Tina.

"I, I'll save some money...... Miao Zhen was a little lacking, "If you only eat one loaf of bread a day, it won't cost much." ”

"A loaf of bread is too little, if you eat something......" Xu Shuo wanted to speak again, but was once again repelled by Tina's eyes.

"Do you know how far the Duchy of Zhulu is from here?" Tina looked at Miao Zhen solemnly.

"Far away?" Miao Zhen apparently had limited knowledge of his destination.

"Even if it's a horse-drawn carriage, it will take at least a month." Tina said.

Miao Zhen showed a slightly surprised expression, she had been living in Chewa City for as long as she could remember, and she had no concept of going far away.

Also surprised was Xu Shuo.

(Is it so far?!) )

Tina continued, "The cheapest loaf in the bakery costs two copper coins, but the amount of loaf is very small, and if you eat that alone, you will fall down in less than a week, right?" So at least five copper coins and a piece of black hard bread, a month, one black hard bread a day, about ......" Tina said as she stuck, and began to wrench the number of counts.

"One hundred and fifty copper coins?" Xu Shuo reminded in a whisper beside him.

"That's right, the expenses shouldn't be less than one hundred and fifty copper coins, do you have that much money?" Tina brushed her hair behind her ear, "If I'm not mistaken, you just lost a sum of money to Rock Candy Boss a few days ago, right?" ”

Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, he remembered that this incident happened when he first came to this world, but didn't he say that the boss of the rock sugar factory didn't let him pay at that time?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Shuo understood that according to Miao Zhen's character, even if the boss of the rock sugar factory didn't let her compensate, she would still take the initiative to compensate others afterwards.

Miao Zhen's face became a little ugly, but she still clenched her fists and said stubbornly: "It's okay to be small, small bread balls, I don't have to eat so much......"

"Are you crazy? Don't be so willful, okay? Tina frowned and said, "Why be in such a hurry, you can wait until you grow up and save a little more money before you go!" ”

"I don't want to, I-"

Miao Zhen held the necklace hanging on his chest, and his voice choked.

"I don't want to wait any longer, after Grandpa Brenaud is gone, I have always felt that it doesn't matter when I die, I have tried my best to live to this day, I just want to see my father and mother once, and I persevered with this expectation...... Now that I finally have a chance to find them, I don't want to wait a second longer! ”

"But, Miao Zhen ......"

Looking at Miao Zhen's appearance, Tina couldn't bear to continue halfway through speaking, she can actually understand Miao Zhen, she has always been hesitant to be sold to Chewa City all these years, entangled in whether to try to find her former family, but think about her current appearance, do you still deserve to go back to her family, this mood of wanting to see but not daring to see always envelops her like rain, Miao Zhen's desire to be with her family again is clearer than anyone else.

Seeing Tina's momentum drop little by little, Xu Shuo finally couldn't help it, and he stood up with his hands raised.

"Stop, please, why is this uncomfortable atmosphere again, don't let me see tears, okay, I've seen enough tears these days, it's a good thing to have clues from my family, be happy." Xu Shuo came to Miao Zhen and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Miao Zhen's eyes with his fingers, "I know, I'll take you there, if you don't want to take advantage of me for the travel expenses, then you can help me do some chores along the way, when I am an assistant, there is no salary, but take care of the food, be fair." ”

Miao Zhen smiled and nodded.

But Tina quit.

"Hey!" Tina grabbed you by Xu Shuo's collar, "I told you not to do this!" ”

Xu Shuo didn't back down this time, he looked into Tina's eyes and said, "Miao Zhen just wants to go back to her parents, and I respect her choice." ”

"And what if you can't find it?!"

"Then I'll find a way to send her back, and if I can't find a reliable person, I'll send her back myself, okay?"

"Can you do it?!"

"I can do it!" Xu Shuo grabbed Tina's wrist and slowly took Tina's hand away from his collar, his eyes were firm and determined, "It's not bragging, now I can do more things!" ”

The air fell silent for a few seconds.

Tina was overwhelmed by Xu Shuo's momentum, sighed, glanced at Miao Zhen with worried eyes, and said in a slightly unwilling tone: "If you don't find someone, send her back well, otherwise you will die, you know?" ”

"Ah, I promise."

Tina sighed again, she couldn't let go of the girl who had almost followed in her footsteps.

"Xu Shuo, you ......" The boss also looked uneasy, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Miao Zhen will ask you." ”

"Don't worry." Xu Shuo smiled and touched Miao Zhen's head, "Although I'm not very good at taking care of people, I will take care of her." ”

At this moment, there were two knocks on the door, and then the door was opened—it was Mogg.

Mogg stood outside the door, looking directly at Xu Shuo with his eyes, Xu Shuo glanced at him, and inexplicably felt that Mogg's eyes were a little hollow and dull.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, lunch will be ready soon, please go to the restaurant." Mogg said in a calm tone without any emotion.

"Ah, is lunch ready?" Xu Shuo looked at the other people in the room, "Let's go, if there is anything else to ask, let's talk while eating." ”

As soon as Miao Zhen and the others stood up, they heard Moge say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Shuo, Mrs. Luncheon wants to eat alone with you, and other friends will have other butlers come over to take you to another restaurant later." ”

"Ma'am?" Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment.

Mogg opened his mouth and said, "Miss Lilien." ”

Xu Shuo sensed that something was wrong, and stared at Mog with the [Eye of Love], and a "0" slowly appeared on Mog's head.

(No malice...... Is it my delusion? ）

Xu Shuo shrugged, turned back to Miao Zhen and said, "Then I'll go first, and then I'll meet in this room after eating, Miao Zhen, if you have anything to bring, go get it, we should set off today." ”
