The next morning, after practicing martial arts, the three of them returned to the grocery room, quickly packed up the room, and packed the package (there was nothing at all).

Although Geng Po was a little drunk last night, he had a high level of internal skills and got up very early and made breakfast himself.

After everyone had eaten, Xue Chang said goodbye to Geng Bo.

Geng Po took out five taels of silver and said he was paying the wages of the three of them. Since the restaurant was about to be closed for a long time today, he was very generous.

Xue Chang did not refuse, and happily accepted it, and took his two apprentices away and left Geng Po.

Hu Qiudi did not come out to see them off, but packed his luggage in his boudoir.

When Xue Chang walked out of the restaurant and stepped onto the street, she turned her head and looked up. She saw Hu Qiudi standing in front of the wooden window in the attic. After the two of them touched each other, Xue Chang nodded slightly, then quickly turned around and left.

Hu Qiudi let out a long sigh, and his hanging heart could finally fall.

At this time, Geng Po's voice came from outside the house: "Girl, have you packed up? It's time for us to set off."

"Okay, okay, why are you in a hurry?" Hu Qiudi complained, but smiled on her face.

Xue Chang and the other two walked leisurely south, Tuotuo followed closely behind. Now that the little wolf is getting bigger, the wolf's characteristics are becoming more and more obvious. They have been restricted to the backyard of the restaurant. Now, when they are released, the dogs in the town meet him and hide. Fortunately, Xue Chang had some expectations in advance and asked Fan Yu to take care of him. He also put ropes on it to prevent it from making fun and causing them trouble.

After the three of them and one dog left the town and walked south for a long time, Xue Chang suddenly said, "Let's not go south anymore, take a detour to the west and return to Longmen Town."

"Ah! Why?" Fan Ya asked in surprise.

Xu Xi didn't say anything, but was also confused.

"You two will know then." Xue Chang didn't explain much, and the two apprentices could only ask questions and follow closely.

When the morning mist was dispersed and the sky was bright, Xue Chang entered Longmen Town again from the north and entered an inn called "River's Ring Yue" and asked for accommodation.

The shopkeeper did not make any fuss when he saw them bringing a little wolf. The inn was located next to the main road. He had never seen any strange guests. He only increased the accommodation cost on this grounds.

Xue Chang did not bargain and immediately paid three days in advance.

Seeing Xue Chang take out a tael of silver from his arms and throw it to the shopkeeper, Xu Xi couldn't help but shout in pain: "Master!"

"Don't worry, I'm responsible." Xue Chang smiled and comforted him.

The inn guy led them upstairs, and someone downstairs were coming downstairs. When both sides passed by, a voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, Xue Chang?"

Xue Chang subconsciously turned his head and saw a young man dressed up next to him staring at him in surprise: "Xue Chang, it's really you!"

"…Xu…Xu Qingping…” Xue Chang found the name of this person from the original owner’s memory.

"Why are you here? You are also here with your father?" Xu Qingping asked, looking around, fearing that Xue Chang's father would be missed.

He didn't know what happened to the original owner... Xue Chang thought about it and immediately said, "I'm here because I have some private matters to do. Why are you here too?"

"Our escort agency received an escort in early June. My father took me and the escort to the northwest. It took me almost half a year to go back to Shu, but I finally met you here. It was such a coincidence!" Xu Qingping was really happy. It was the first time he had been away from his hometown for so long, and finally saw an acquaintance and felt very close.

No wonder he knew nothing about me now... Xue Chang thought to himself and said with a smile on his face: "Then you have seen a lot of world this time. Let me tell me about your interesting things about this time."

"A word is settled. I will set up a banquet in Jiyi Building and call Yin Bin, Wang Xuan and the others. Let's have a good chat! Let's talk to you-" Xu Qingping was just talking happily, and a heavy voice came from outside the inn: "Qingping, why are you still rushing? It's time to leave!"

"Xue Chang, I won't tell you much. The escort team is about to set off. The dinner is settled. Let's see you in Chengdu!" Xu Qingping left hurriedly, and he didn't even have time to ask why Xue Chang was dressed like a servant.

"Master, who is he?" Fan Yu asked in a low voice.

"A friend of mine." Xue Chang thought about it before saying.

In fact, in the original owner's memory, Xu Qingping was not his friend. Although his father had a good relationship with Xu Qingping's father, they had been playing together since childhood, but when they grew up, the original owner was idle. Xu Qingping began to help his father with his father early on, becoming a role model for the original owner's father to learn from him, which led to the original owner's gradually alienating Xu Qingping. But in Xue Chang's view, Xu Qingping, who is honest, enthusiastic, and ambitious, is a partner worth making.

The incident of meeting Xu Qingping made Xue Chang realize that he might meet acquaintances in the inn where people frequently traveled. In order to avoid trouble, he and Xu Xi and Fan Yu rarely went out in the past three days, and even asked the inn staff to deliver the food they bought to the room for dinner.

He spent more time supervising the two apprentices to practice martial arts, which greatly eliminated their dissatisfaction. However, before three days had passed, Geng Po's money was almost consumed.

So on the morning of the fourth day, he was a little hesitant: Should he continue to spend money to live here?

"Du!Du!Du!..." The door knocked, and Fan Yu, who had already practiced boxing in the room, went forward and opened the door: "The waiter is so early - Hu Qiudi!"

"Are you very happy to see me?" A familiar and crisp voice sounded, and a pretty figure pushed open the door and walked in, looking at Xue Chang with a smile: "Brother Xue, I'm here!"

Xue Chang nodded calmly and said, "It's a bit late, we have to leave quickly."

Hu Qiudi explained complacently: "The old man is seriously ill. I am afraid that he will leave and then return again, so he stayed for one more day, which also numbed Uncle Yu, so he successfully left Uncle Yu's house today and was not discovered. But we really have to leave quickly. Maybe Uncle Yu and the others will chase me to the town in a while!"

Xue Chang nodded, turned around and said to Xu Xi, "Pack up your things, let's go quickly."

Xu Xi immediately started packing his luggage without saying a word.

While helping, Fan Yu also asked curiously: "Master, what's going on?"

Hu Qiudi took the conversation first: "Brother Xue once made a hook with me and could agree to a request. The old man wanted to go out for a long time to do business, but he wanted to force me to board someone else's house-" She snorted softly: "Of course I don't want to, so I beg Brother Xue to take me to Chengdu quietly. I also want to run away from home like the female hero Huang Rong in the story and make a career-"

"I'll say it first. Whether you are on the road or when you arrive in Chengdu, you must stay with us and don't go around alone!" Xue Chang warned with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Brother Xue, I'm not Huang Rong. I have superb martial arts skills. I will listen to you obediently and stay by your side and never walk around." Hu Qiudi said confidently.

Xue Chang looked at her half-believingly and frowned and asked, "Did you bring all the clothes and accessories you want to wear?"

"I was afraid of arousing suspicion from Uncle Yu and his family, so I didn't bring it, but I brought this one-" Hu Qiudi picked up the cloth bag with her, shook it, and made a metal collision sound: "This is the private money I have saved over the years. With it, I can't buy any good-looking clothes. Brother Xue, if you don't have enough money, you can get it from me."

"You are such a stupid and bold." Xue Chang shook his head: "You are not afraid of us killing us for money."

"Brother Xue, I believe in you." Hu Qiudi answered very simply.

Xue Chang was stunned for a moment.

Hu Qiudi bent down and lifted the two front legs of the little wolf who was rushing to her feet, and shook excitedly: "Good Tuotuo, do you miss me?"

Tuotuo was grinning at first and threatening, but after being rubbed by Hu Qiudi for a while, he could only hum in a low voice.

After Xu Xi finished packing up, Xue Chang considered that the shopkeeper of the inn knew Hu Qiudi, in order to prevent being found by the "Uncle Yu" as Hu Qiudi said, the four of them hurriedly left the inn and quickly left the north of the town, circled eastward, and continued southward.
