Chapter 259: Lotus Village
In the street market, the shouts of hawkers, the shouts of jugglers, and the laughter in the teahouses are lively and harmonious.
Shu Zhihan and Meng Haowu walked in the bustling crowd.
They searched for the whereabouts of Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen in the bustling market.
However, no matter how much they searched, they found nothing but loss.
"Madam, let's find a place to rest first."
Shu Zhihan consciously felt a little tired, so he nodded, "Well, okay." ”
She reached out and gently touched her lower abdomen, thinking in her heart that although it was imminent to find Luo Jinyu, she must take care of the little guy in her belly.
Every time she thinks of a small life in her belly, her heart becomes softer and firmer.
The two of them came to an inn and opened two rooms each.
Meng Haowu sent her into the room and said, "Madam, you have a good rest first, and then I will go out to investigate, no matter who it is, don't open the door, and wait for me to come back if you need anything." ”
Shu Zhihan looked at him with a smile, as if he felt that he seemed to have become more stable than before.
Meng Haowu closed the door and left quickly.
Shu Zhihan sat alone in the room, she poured herself a glass of water and took a sip gently.
But in his heart, he was thinking, I don't know if Meng Haowu will gain anything from going this time.
Now compared to Luo Jinyu, she is more worried about Meng Haowen, after all, he disappeared for no reason when he was with her.
As for Luo Jinyu, although he is not by his side now, no matter what, his life is worry-free, but he just doesn't remember himself.
She sat for a while, gradually feeling that her eyelids seemed to be a little heavy, and then she stood up and walked slowly to the bed.
After Shu Zhihan hesitated, Kazui lay on the bed.
For a moment, reason told her that she couldn't sleep now, but no amount of strong will could restrain the sleepiness that kept coming.
Gradually, Shu Zhihan closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
The sun shines on the bustling street market, and all kinds of cries come and go, a prosperous scene.
Meng Haowu was dressed in green clothes and carrying a long sword, shuttling through the crowd.
His gaze was firm, and his face was full of dust, but he could not hide his heroic aura.
He came to an old man who was setting up a stall and bowed his hand: "Uncle, I want to inquire about someone, he is with a woman in green, I don't know if you have seen it?" ”
The old man looked up at Meng Haowu with a look of surprise on his face, but quickly regained his composure. He said in a deep voice: "Young man, there are many stories in the streets and alleys here, and maybe the person you are looking for is among them. ”
When Meng Haowu heard this, hope ignited in his heart, and he saluted again: "Thank you, uncle, how can I inquire?" ”
The old man smiled slyly and said mysteriously, "To find him, you need to find the 'eyes and ears' here. ”
Meng Haowu frowned suspiciously: "Ears and eyes? ”
The old man nodded and pointed to a teahouse not far away: "You go there to find the hunchbacked old man, who is called 'Lao Lingtong', and there is nothing he doesn't know about the people and things here." ”
Meng Haowu glanced at the old man gratefully, turned around and walked towards the teahouse.
When he stepped into the teahouse, the noise of the noisy street market seemed to be isolated from the door, and the smell of tea was fragrant and the atmosphere was peaceful.
He easily found the hunchbacked old man, who was telling an ancient legend to a guest.
Meng Haowu waited quietly until the guests left. He said respectfully to the old man, "Sir, I am looking for a person, I wonder if you have ever seen it?" ”
The old man slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "What are you looking for them?" ”
Meng Haowu's heart was beating faster, wondering if this meant that he knew the general's whereabouts, and he nervously asked, "Then do you know where he went?" ”
The old man shook his head: "Perhaps, you can go to Lotus Village to have a look." ”
Meng Haowu bowed deeply to express his gratitude, and then hurriedly left the teahouse and hurried towards the place he said.
He asked a lot of people along the way, and finally came to Lotus Village.
What catches your eye is a large lake, on the clear water, a piece of green lotus leaves tumbling, blooming white lotus flowers, like white jade under the moonlit night, inlaid in the emerald green lotus leaves.
It was a vibrant greenery, with a faint floral scent, swaying gently in the wind.
In the middle of the water, an exquisite mansion stands there, as if it were a mysterious world far from the world.
The exterior of the house is quaint and elegant, with intricate lotus motifs carved into the window lattices that complement the surrounding lotus flowers.
The house is surrounded by a clear lake, and the shadow of the house is reflected in the lake, like a crystal jade mirror.
The breeze blows, and the lotus flower trembles gently, as if to tell the house something.
At this moment, a soft light came through the crack in the door of the house, and a woman's figure appeared in the doorway. She wore a long green skirt with the hem fluttering in the wind, like a fairy. Her face is delicate, and her eyes are shining with wisdom, which makes people can't help but respect her.
In this beautiful lotus grove, the house and the woman together form a harmonious picture. The existence of the lotus flower and the house seems to tell an ancient and mysterious story, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Meng Haowu couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery in front of him, looked at the woman, and couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe she was the woman in green in Shu Zhihan's mouth.
In this way, the general should really be here.
Thinking of this possibility, Meng Haowu was excited for a while.
I thought about going there, but I found that there was no bridge to go to the house.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Meng Haowu walked back and forth on the shore, thinking about how he should get there.
He looked around, but found no boats, not even a plank.
In desperation, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Girl, can you let me pass?" ”
But, as if no matter how loudly he shouted, it was useless, and the girl in green seemed to not hear at all.
It's okay now, Meng Haowu can't do it in a hurry.
Meng Haowu stood on the shore, his hands clenched, and his eyes looked anxiously at the girl in green in the middle of the water.
His voice echoed in the air, but the girl seemed to be immersed in her own world, indifferent to his cries.
Then, he caught a glimpse of his own shadow reflected in the water. With an idea, he ran back to the shore, picked up a rock, and threw it at the surface of the water.
The stone bounced on the surface of the water, splashing a splash, and the girl's attention was attracted by the sudden sound and looked at Meng Haowu.
Meng Haowu hurriedly raised his arm and waved it vigorously to attract the girl's attention. He pointed to the water and motioned for the girl to come.
The girl watched Meng Haowu's actions, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but soon she understood Meng Haowu's intentions.
But she didn't respond, but turned and walked back into the house.
Meng Haowu's heart collapsed for a while.
"My mother, this isn't trying to let me swim over like this, although I know the nature of water, but I haven't swam such a long distance, if I go directly down in the middle, then it's really over.
This girl is really, why is she so unkind, if I really pass, see how I clean her up. ”
Meng Haowu stood alone on the shore and cursed.
After thinking about it in the end, I decided to go into the water and go over to see if the general was there.
As soon as his feet touched the water, the coldness instantly extinguished his blood, and he quickly retracted his feet.
"Yes, I can't go over yet, Madame is still waiting for me at the inn, I have to go back first, otherwise, Madame will definitely be in a hurry, besides, I have to prepare food for Madame."
After giving himself such a reason, Meng Haowu quickly stood up, glanced at the Lotus Village again, and then thought, it is better to go back first, this house will not run away anyway.
With a basket of fresh fruit and hot snacks in his hand, he walked quickly to the inn.
He thought to himself, he didn't know if Madame liked to eat these foods.
In the bazaar, he deliberately selected those brightly coloured and delicious foods, hoping that they would give his wife some appetite.
His heartbeat was in sync with his pace, rhythmically tapping the ground.
The moment he walked into the inn, he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and walked towards Madame's room.
He knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, he saw Shu Zhihan coming to open the door.
Looking at her face, it was not very good, slightly pale.
Meng Haowu walked in and put the food in his hand on the table one by one.
"Madam, I brought you some food, I don't know what you like to eat, so I just bought some."
Shu Zhihan smiled and shook her head, "You have a heart, and I don't have much appetite." ”
"Madam, even if you don't have an appetite, then you have to eat some, otherwise where will you have the energy to go to the general, besides, even if you don't think about yourself now, you should also think about the child in your belly, he has to grow up."
Hearing Meng Haowu's words, Shu Zhihan couldn't help laughing.
She didn't expect that one day she would be able to hear Meng Haowu say such a thing, it was really a little strange.
However, in this way, she felt a lot more comfortable, after all, such Meng Haowu would definitely not let Miyue be wronged, and she should be able to live a good life in the future.
Shu Zhihan didn't understand why she suddenly thought like this, as if a faint uneasiness came out of her heart.
She couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head gently, then picked up a pastry and brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
