Chapter 208: Where Did You Run?
The news of the lost tiger in the black market spread far and wide, but in just three or two hours, word of mouth spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Walking on the street, looking around, people gathered in groups of threes and twos, talking, walking in and listening, are talking about this matter......
"Oops... Did you hear that?! ”
"What did you hear?"
"The five-year-old tiger raised by the city lord has been lost! It's lost in this city, and if it's true, what are we going to do! ”
"No......"
…
Hua Shi buried his head, shuttling through the streets where people came and went, and every time he passed a road, he could hear the topics discussed in the crowd, without exception, all of them were talking about the tiger getting lost.
She felt vaguely uneasy.
And from the conversations of the people in the town, it can be heard that the vigorous and resolute lord of the city is very fond of the pets he has kept for three or five years, and he does not hesitate to spend manpower to find them.
It was precisely because of this big move that the news spread almost all over the streets and alleys in less than half a day.
Because they did not see the tiger sacrifice with their own eyes, many people were suspicious, even if they knew that the tiger was lost, maybe it was hidden in a corner of the town, but they still did not take it to heart......
This is what the vast majority of people think.
Staggered through the dense flow of people, passed through several stalls, found the store that needed to purchase items, and walked in.
After leaving from the barefoot doctor, Hua Shi asked Xie Mingchi to take Songzhu and the others back to the inn to pack their things, and then find an ox cart, ready to rush back overnight.
I'm going to buy some things and go back, it's hard to come out, I can't go home empty-handed, the home now looks like there is nothing missing, but when I think about it, there are still many embarrassing places.
After raising three pets, there is basically no shortage of meat at home, but rice and noodles still need to be bought, and the four children do not have suitable seasonal clothes......
If you think about it, there are still many places where you need to use silver... Cloth, rice and flour... Buy some more sugar bars and go back, etc... There's even peanut frying oil here? It smells so good, this smell is familiar and unfamiliar......
Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the grain store saw that she bought a lot, so he made an exception and asked the apprentice in the store to help her send the three bags of rice and noodles back to the inn first.
Otherwise, her hands might not be able to hold such a large number of things.
Passing by a cloth village again, Hua Shi's footsteps paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, looked down at the things he was holding left and right, sighed lightly, and gave up the idea of buying a few more quilts.
It's only the beginning of spring now, and when the weather is hot, there's no need to cover a thick quilt anymore, and it's not too late to come back to buy in September or October.
Hua Shi thought, quickened his pace, and walked in the direction of the inn.
Xu was holding too many things in her hands, and along the way, many pedestrians cast surprised glances at her.
There were many people, and she was alone, fiddling her calves, and soon, she saw the inn in the distance.
At the location of the door, I also saw Xie Mingchi's figure.
Before she could shout, Xie Mingchi took the lead in turning his head, and looked in her direction with a sense of clarity.
"Ahh
Xie Mingchi stepped forward in two steps and took the things she was holding in her hand.
Hua Shi's eyes fell on the empty ox cart behind him, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three bags of rice and noodles she had just bought on the stairs at the door.
"Are you all packed?" Hua Shi asked casually.
"Hmm."
The two worked together to load things into the car, and after a while, Songzhu and the two, dressed in clean clothes and with unkempt hair, walked out of the inn.
The clothes were bought by Xie Mingchi at the ready-to-wear store next to him, and he took people to compare them, and they were just right, and the style was simple, one dark blue and one light cyan.
It's just that the two of them just put on new clothes, lowered their heads, tugged at the corners of their clothes, and looked very uncomfortable.
Hanatoki's gaze swept over their heads with unkempt hair on top of their heads, and a strange sense of familiarity crossed their hearts.
This messy hair, isn't it... When the flowers met them the year before last, did they always wear the shape......
Spend time to suppress the obsessive-compulsive disorder of cleanliness that rises in your heart, now is not the time to think about this, hurry up, it is important to hurry back.
You must know that along the way, her heart is pounding and she doesn't stop to pass, her heart is flustered, and her intuition tells her that she must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
The escaped tiger had not been caught, and she estimated that it was probably hidden somewhere in the town, and that it might have been found after a while......
"Once you've packed your things, let's get in the car first, and I'm ready to go back overnight."
Hua Shi took the straw on the ground on the side, and covered the neatly placed items on the ox cart, the straw was too little, so it was covered on the top, and there was some meaning to cover it, and after thinking about it, he took a batch of dark cloth, spread it out, covered it above, and covered the ground tightly, and then clapped his hands.
Hua Song and Hua Zhu obediently got into the ox cart and did not object to this hurried move.
After the four of them got into the ox cart, the cowman who was sitting in front of him saw the sunset and twilight sky, shouted and sat down, and prepared to drive the ox cart in the direction of the city gate.
On the rickety ox cart, Hua Shi looked left and right twice, and always felt that something was missing......
Wait a minute! Where's Black?!
"Wait a minute!" Hua Shi hurriedly stopped the car, but luckily the car had just taken two steps, and she jumped off the ox cart and looked in the direction of the inn door.
Xie Mingchi also jumped down and asked her in a low voice, "Ah Shi, what's wrong?" ”
"Where's Blackie?" Hua Shi turned his head to look at him.
Xie Mingchi paused, remembering that when he was packing up his things, he hadn't seen the black cat.
"I didn't see it, I didn't see it when I was packing up in the room."
"I'll take a look, you guys wait for me here."
Hua Shi patted his head, and in a hurry, he almost dropped the black cat, it was really ......
I don't know if it's a corner tower in the room, secretly hiding and sleeping, and deliberately not coming out?
Usually when she is not around, in front of others, the black cat rarely meows, and most of the time she lies lazily and finds a corner to nap by herself.
It used to be like that at home......
Hua Shi hurriedly ran back to the inn, and walked straight to the room on the second floor, the young shopkeeper in front of the counter, and asked her if she had left something behind, and the words came behind her, she nodded and didn't say much.
It's a pity that she rummaged through the small guest room and didn't see the shadow of Xiao Hei's cat......
I was a little dumbfounded.
Where did you go??
