Xiaolan hugged the soft white scarf in her arms tightly and reached out to touch the branch hairpin in her pocket.
We now have two things from the flowers. According to the Taoist priest, we can already open the "world" of the flowers.
"I wonder if the three of them have found the location to enter the 'world' of the flowers." Maple Sugar looked at the phone, "There is no news in the group yet. Should we go back to the hotel and wait for them?"
The Taoist priest has been holding his chin in deep thought since he left Lianjia Villa. He raised his head after hearing this, as if he had just remembered the current situation.
"They haven't heard from them yet?"
Maple Sugar nodded, "I sent a message but didn't reply."
"Then it's probably not found," the Taoist priest waved his hand, "Let's go back first. If it's not nearby, we may have to go to the mountain."
Although Lover's Villa and Sunset Hotel guarded the beginning and end of the hotel street, the actual distance was not too far. The high clouds in early autumn were vast, and the afternoon sun shone on the four of them. Xiaolan felt relaxed and comfortable.
"Even if you don't find them, you still have to send a message..." Pineapple stared at the screen of the phone, his tone full of worry, "It's very worrying not to say a word, or we go out to find them?"
The four of them had arrived at the entrance of the Sunset Hotel. The hotel was still as quiet and peaceful as ever, and the door leading to the front hall was wide open.
The Taoist priest thought for a while and felt that what Pineapple said was reasonable. He took out his mobile phone and prepared to dial the fool's number.
Suddenly, rustling voices came from the direction of the restaurant.
"Why are you here..." It seemed to be the voice of the boss's wife.
"Do they live here with you? I know it was your man who rescued them..." The voice of a strange woman.
"Did they let you go down the mountain?..."
"I ran down here by myself. If they knew about it, I wouldn't be able to survive..."
The four of them were stunned.
Are you from Lianshui Village? !
The Taoist Master instantly became vigilant, looked around, made sure there was no suspicious figure, and took the lead to tiptoe into the front hall.
"Then you are not going back to the village? Where is your son?"
"I...I'm a little afraid of that child..."
"What is there to be afraid of as an eight-year-old?"
"I always feel that he looks a lot like his father."
"Isn't it normal for a child to look like his father? You can't throw him on the mountain even if you're afraid. If they find out you ran away, will your child be able to eat anything good?"
"Oh... I... first tell me where those people went?"
"I don't know. I went out early in the morning."
"you……"
The woman came to see them. The Taoist priest and the other four people looked at each other, straightened their backs and walked in.
"The boss lady."
Halfway through what she was saying, the proprietress saw four people coming towards her. She quickly pointed at them and asked the woman to look behind her.
The woman was facing away from everyone. When she saw this, she turned around, revealing a weathered face. The woman was also wearing a slightly thick dark green cotton-padded coat. I don't know if it was because of the temperature or something else. There were thin beads of sweat on her forehead.
"You are finally back," the proprietress stood up and came over to welcome you, and the woman also stood up. "Someone is looking for you. They are from Lianshui Village."
The woman clenched her fingers in embarrassment and looked at them at a loss.
"I...I want to tell you something...I heard..."
"Sister, I would like to ask you a question first," the Taoist priest interrupted the woman's train of thought very rudely, leaned over and asked mysteriously, "You were supposed to help bring Hua Cong's letter down the mountain, right? ?”
The woman suddenly choked and forgot everything she wanted to say. She looked at the Taoist priest with wide eyes and surprise.
"How did you know?……"
When the Taoist priest saw the woman's reaction, he was half relieved. After hearing the woman's admission, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"How do you know? You don't have to worry about it." The Taoist priest smiled and moved a stool for the woman. "Sister, I really appreciate you coming to see us. Don't be afraid. If you want to say anything, just say it directly. Tell me."
The woman was confused, and so was Xiaolan at the moment, but he didn't dare to show his ignorance in front of outsiders.
"Have you seen me?"
The Taoist priest shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but I know that there must be at least one person in the village who is on the side of the flowers, so I am really grateful that you can come down to us."
When the woman heard Hua Cong's name, the defensiveness in her eyes completely disappeared, revealing a somewhat sad expression.
"That child in Huazong... I'm sorry for her..."
