After a day of running around, Liu Xiaoyu and his team worked tirelessly and finally stepped into the territory of Youzhou at dusk the next day.
The sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility under the afterglow of the sunset, and the group rushed straight to the Wenjia Inn.
The carriage slowly stopped, and several soldiers jumped out of the carriage first, and then carefully helped Linglong off the carriage.
Linglong looked around and saw that the inn was located on the street with flying eaves and brackets, which was quite large.
Xiao Cui had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she saw everyone coming, she hurriedly came forward.
The soldiers led Linglong to the inn, and Xiao Cui quickly arranged a clean and tidy house for Linglong.
Linglong walked into the room and looked at everything in the room curiously. She saw that the interior of the room was elegant and elegant, the tables and chairs were arranged in an orderly manner, the decorations were unique, and the structure was very novel, which was very different from what she had seen in the past.
Linglong couldn't help but show her appreciation. Xiao Cui saw it and said proudly: "Girl, every brick, every tile, every grass and every tree in this inn is designed by our lady Wenxuan. The lady is talented and thoughtful. This inn is also well-known in our Youzhou City!"
Linglong nodded with a smile, and felt a little more curious and admiration for this Miss Wenxuan whom she had never met.
The fatigue of the journey made her have no time to think about it. After washing up briefly, she lay on the bed, looking at the darker sky outside the window, and gradually fell asleep. I wonder what kind of stories will be waiting for her in this strange place...
The soldiers carefully placed the treasures at the designated place at the border. After the heavy boxes were placed, everyone seemed to have lifted the heavy burden and breathed a sigh of relief.
I have really put a lot of effort into these days, and now I have finally come back safely. Everyone's face cannot hide their fatigue, but they are a little relieved.
Liu Xiaoyu looked at everyone with a gentle smile on her face and said softly: "Actually, we live here honestly on weekdays and are quite comfortable. When we go out to perform tasks occasionally, although it will be harder and more thrilling in the process, but looking back, it may not be a bad thing. We have gained knowledge and experienced a lot of things when we go out."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They talked about the experiences and interesting things along the way, and laughter sounded from time to time at this transit.
The relaxed atmosphere of returning after many twists and turns seemed to have temporarily forgotten the fatigue and dangers of the past, and immersed in this rare gathering and stability.
The morning light was dim, and the soft light shone through the branches and leaves on the three of them. Xi Yu tied the reins and turned to Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong in the carriage and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive at Kunlun Mountain tomorrow."
Xiaohong was originally lifting the curtains to admire the scenery along the way. When she heard this, her eyes flashed with surprise and clapped her hands happily: "It's great! When I arrived at Kunlun Mountain, my memory might be restored!" The tone was full of expectation and longing, as if I had seen the scene after the memory was restored.
Xi Yu turned his head, looked at the expectation in Xiaohong's eyes, sighed slightly, and said, "Xiaohong, although Kunlun Mountain is in front of him, it is still unknown whether it can recover its memory. Perhaps it is necessary to follow what the miracle doctor Song Shuwen said, and then search for herbs, there may be twists and turns in the process, so don't have too much expectations."
Xiaohong's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly cheered up again.
At this time, a mountain breeze blew by, blowing their hair. The three of them looked at Kunlun Mountain and continued to move forward with complex mood. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the mountain path, as if they were telling the unknown of the road ahead.
The night was shrouded in the inn, and there was only a few occasional barking of dogs.
Xi Yu went back to the room to rest early, but Luo Xiaoyu tossed and turned in her room, feeling confused.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, got up and walked to Xiaohong's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
Xiaohong was staring at Zhuhuo in the room, thinking about what would happen when she arrived in Kunlun Mountain tomorrow. The sudden knock on the door made her come to her senses and stood up in confusion to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Luo Xiaoyu's face turned red, her eyes dodged but with a hint of firmness, she mustered up the courage and said, "Xiaohong, I...I have something to say to you."
Xiaohong looked at her for no reason and tilted her head slightly: "Brother Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with it so late?"
Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath, grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously with her hands, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Xiaohong, I actually like you for a long time. From the first time I saw you, I couldn't help but want to get close to you and protect you. I know that it may not be appropriate to say these things now, but I really can't help it..."
Xiaohong was frightened by this sudden confession and took a step back, widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xiaohong's astonished look, her face was full of tension and cramping, and then continued: "Xiaohong, I also know that I may be too abrupt, but I have been holding these words in my heart for too long, and I can't help it."
Xiaohong frowned slightly, her eyes were full of confusion, and she responded in a low voice: "I have lost my memory now. I don't know anything about the past. I only know you..."
Luo Xiaoyu's smile was filled with a hint of bitterness and a little free and easy.
"It's okay, Xiaohong, I'll say what I'm in my heart, and I'll feel much better now. I know that your situation is special now, and I won't force you or something. I will respect your opinions. No matter what you think, we can get along like now."
Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu's sincere appearance, and a feeling of inexplicable warmth surged in her heart, and nodded gently: "Well, thank you for telling me this, I... I'm very confused now, wait for me to think about it slowly."
"Don't worry, just think about it slowly. I just want you to know what I want. Then... Then I'll go back to your room first, and you can rest early."
After saying that, Luo Xiaoyu turned around and walked towards her room. Her steps seemed relaxed, but her heart was still mixed. Xiaohong stood at the door, looked at her back, fell into deep thought, and the night returned to its previous tranquility, but different ripples appeared in both of them.
Xi Yu and Luo Xiaoyu lived in the same room, and saw Luo Xiaoyu leaving in a hurry, and soon came back quickly. Her cheeks were flushed, as if they were dyed with the sunset in the sky.
Xi Yu instantly understood what was going on, but he just calmly withdrew his gaze and pretended not to see anything.
He knew that such a thing was. If he made it rashly, it would probably make Luo Xiaoyu very embarrassed. After all, emotional matters are always a bit indescribable and shy.
Luo Xiaoyu returned to the room and glanced at Xi Yu. Seeing that the other party looked normal, as if he had not noticed anything unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still a little up and down. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he sat aside silently and sorted out his somewhat messy thoughts.
The house was in silence for a moment, with only the candlelight occasionally jumping and making a slight "crackling" sound, as if it was covering this subtle atmosphere.
Xi Yu thought that he would pretend to be confused and let the matter go quietly, but unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoyu hesitated for a while and then took the initiative to bring it up.
He sat beside the bed, his hands unconsciously grasping the sheets, and his face still had a blush that had not faded, and he whispered: "Prime Minister, I... I just went to confess to Xiaohong, and my heart was still pounding now."
Xi Yu was stunned at first, then a joking smile appeared on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What's Xiaohong's reaction?"
Luo Xiaoyu lowered her head slightly, recalling Xiaohong's appearance at that time, and said slowly: "Xiaohong was quite surprised. She told me that she had lost her memory and didn't know many things, she just remembered to know me. But after I said this to her, I felt much more relieved. It was so uncomfortable to hold these words in my heart."
Xi Yu listened and nodded slightly. Looking at Luo Xiaoyu's nervous and relieved look, she smiled and said, "Well, it's good to say it out loud. The relationship is not hidden. If you can tell me honestly, it's a commendable courage. As for Xiaohong, don't be too anxious."
Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xi Yu gratefully and responded softly.
"Well, I know, no matter what, I respect her ideas, just hope that we won't become unfamiliar with each other because of this."
After saying that, Luo Xiaoyu sighed softly, leaned against the bed, looked at the swaying candlelight, and fell into his own thoughts.
Seeing this, Xi Yu didn't say anything more, and the house became quiet again, but each had different thoughts in his heart.
It was as late as the night was like a thick piece of ink, but Shi Dami had no intention of slowing down. He rode on the horse, and his body was rising and falling as the horse ran, constantly urging the horse to get faster and faster.
The wind whistled in my ears, making people's faces hurt. Shi Dami shouted to the horse at the top of his voice: "You beast, if you dare to be lazy and tired, I will change you. Don't delay my affairs!" The words were full of eagerness and impatience.
It was strange that the horse seemed to be able to understand his words, and even neighed, spreading its four hooves and running faster. The dust raised by the horse hooves raised a blurry gray shadow in the night.
Shi Da tightly held the reins tightly, staring at the road ahead, thinking about rushing back to the palace as soon as possible to report to the king. He ignored the fatigue and danger of traveling late at night, and the sound of horse hooves spread far away in the quiet night, as if he was also telling this hasty and anxious itinerary.
The night became deeper and thicker, as thick as ink that could not be melted. Shi Dami still had no intention of resting, and still drove the horse to run wildly in the night.
The sound of horse hooves was rapid and messy, echoing between this empty world, as if it was the only sound in this quiet dark night.
After a while, the horse carried him into the wilderness and rushed into the desert. The galloping along the way made it gradually lose its strength, but Shi Dami ignored it and kept urging him to drive it.
Finally, the horse couldn't hold on anymore and stopped panting. The four hooves trembled slightly on the sand, and the thick air kept spewing out of their mouths.
Seeing this, Shi Dami was furious. He suddenly turned over and got off the horse, cursing and whispered, and shouted at the horse, "You useless beast, you are losing your chain at the critical moment. Have I asked you to stop? It has delayed my big deal. Let me see how I deal with you!"
The horse was in pain and whine, but he really had no strength to run away again, so he could only beat him pitifully. This scene in the desert seemed particularly cold and ruthless, with only the howling wind sounded like a whistling sound for the horse.
The more Shi Dami thought about it, the more angry he became. For the sake of the princess, he was overwhelmed by the matter, and had nowhere to vent his anger. At this moment, he was delayed by this horse and was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was like a firecracker ignited by anger, venting his emotions.
But as he fought, he also understood in his heart that if he really beat the horse to death, he would really not be able to go back in this wilderness, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The movements on his hands gradually slowed down, and with this toss, he was exhausted. The anger that had just burned was suddenly pulled away, and his sleepiness surged like a tide.
He shook his dizzy head, his eyelids were fighting, and he didn't care much about it. He lay down under the horse. After a while, the snoring sounded, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet desert.
The horse was slightly gasping and looked down at Shi Dami who was sleeping under him. His eyes were filled with grievance and helplessness, but he could only stand there quietly, protecting the master who beat and scolded him.
The night is still deep, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing gently by this man and one horse...
The night was still terrifyingly quiet, and there were only Shi Dami's snoring one after another in the desert.
After a while, a sneaky figure slowly approached and was a thief.
The thief was so lucky today that he visited many families one after another, but either he didn't catch any valuable things after rummaging through the boxes or was almost discovered by the owner, which scared him so much that he ran away in a mess, and was so depressed that he was so depressed.
At this moment, when he saw a horse and a sleeping person in the desert, his eyes lit up instantly, and he felt that his good luck was finally coming.
He leaned forward with a slight touch, first carefully fumbled on Shi Dami. After searching, he found some currency from Shi Dami.
The thief's face was full of excitement and quickly hid the currency into his cuffs.
I thought I could leave, but after walking a few steps, he looked back at the horse and had a small plan in his mind: If the horse was taken away, it would definitely be exchanged for a lot of money if it was sold.
The more he thought about it, the more he became more moved, so he turned around and turned back, reached out to hold the reins of the horse, trying to get the horse away while Shi Dami had not woken up.
When the thief went to lead the horse, the horse did not make any sound.
Maybe the horse was fed up with it.
So I would rather leave with someone else.
The thief was worried that if the horse screamed, he would still think about how to deal with it.
Now I really make myself overjoyed.
In this way, he took the horse away very smoothly.
However, Shi Dami snored, and naturally he was unaware of everything.
The sky gradually turned white, and Shi Dami finally woke up slowly from her sleep.
He rubbed his eyes in a daze, and his brain, which had not yet been fully awake, could not react to what had happened.
When he was completely awake and looked around, he jumped up by the scene in front of him - the horse disappeared!
Shi Dami searched everywhere in panic, but the desert was empty and there was no trace of a horse.
An ominous premonition surged in his heart, and he reached out and touched his arms. The place where the money was originally placed was empty.
Now, he finally realized that he had been thieves.
Shi Dami was angry and anxious, and started to curse.
"Which little thief dares to steal my horse and money? If I catch it, I will definitely peel your skin!"
But no matter how much you scold, the predicament in front of you cannot be changed.
Without the horse, the desert became even more difficult to cross, and he felt desperate.
The sun gradually rose and scorched the earth. Shi Dami dragged his heavy steps and walked aimlessly in the desert.
The sand under my feet was hot, and every step I took was like stepping on charcoal.
His lips were chapped and his throat was so thirsty that he was about to smoke. Phantoms of lack of water appeared in front of him from time to time.
I don’t know how long I walked, Shi Dami saw the outline of a small village from afar.
He was delighted, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and he ran towards the village with his last bit of strength.
After entering the village, Shi Dami asked everyone if he had ever seen a stranger holding a horse.
The villagers shook their heads one after another, saying that they had never seen them.
Shi Dami was filled with sorrow and regret.
He sat on the sand with his butt, holding his head with his hands, and his mind was constantly circling with the silent scene when the horse was led away. "Why? Why doesn't it scream?"
Shi Dami murmured to herself, her cracked lips trembled slightly due to the pain in her heart.
He carefully recalled the past when dealing with horses, those impatient scoldings, wanton whippings, and bad attitudes... The scenes of the past cut his heart like a knife. "I was wrong. I never regarded it as a partner, but just as a livestock for me to drive. How could it not be heartbroken?" Shi Dami's eyes were red, and tears were circling in his dry eyes. Finally, the sand and dust on his face slid down on the hot sand, and disappeared in an instant.
The wind whistled past with sand, and Shi Dami's figure seemed increasingly small and desolate in this desolation.
"What should I do?" Shi Da tightly held the corners of his clothes, his knuckles turned white, and his inner anxiety waved after wave like a surging tide.
When I passed by a tavern, the aroma of wine floating out made his stomach gulp, but when I touched my empty pockets, I could only smile bitterly.
Shi Dami gritted her teeth and threw away the helplessness and confusion in her heart.
Come to a market.
The market was crowded and noisy, but Shi Dami only had the goal of making money.
Chapter completed!
