The next day, March 14th morning.
When the sky was turning white, Xiao Yu and the others packed up their things, paid all the rent at the front yard counter, and left in a hurry.
The younger brother who was on duty asked several people, "Guest officers, are you leaving right now?"
Xiaoyu nodded.
The second brother hurriedly rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "The porridge hasn't been cooked yet in the dining room. Why don't you wait for breakfast?"
Xiao Yu shook her head and replied, "We'll go with you to the stables in the other courtyard to pick up the horses and then leave. Keep your voice down."
"Okay." The second brother replied, turned around and led everyone to the stables in the other courtyard.
It was inevitable that Da Zhuang would make a scene when he woke up. He was only willing to follow Xiao Xiao and was unwilling to go back to the mountain, so they had to find another restaurant to have breakfast.
The three of them tied their luggage to the horses, Xiaoyu rode alone, and Yu Liufei carried Xiao Xiao onto the horse, then jumped up and took her away.
Three people and two horses slowly walked out of Hellebore Town towards the west of Qianzhou.
After passing several lively streets here, they arrived outside the market and continued walking west along the suburban bridleway to another market on the edge of Hellebore Town.
They didn't bother to ask what kind of market this was. As long as there were a few markets, they could just find a noodle stall and have breakfast.
When we got to the middle of the street, there were several inns around, and there were many people selling breakfast around the inns.
Either a noodle shop, a dumpling stall, or a steamed bun shop, they are all available, and there just happened to be more and more people in the market.
They found a small dam next to the street where willow trees were planted, and tied their horses. There was a noodle stall next to it.
The three of them were also hungry and wanted to eat noodles.
"Staff, three boiled eggs, three bowls of noodles." Xiao Yu, Yu Liufei, and Xiao Xiao found a nearby noodle shop and sat down at a small square table next to the willow tree.
The noodle shop is a noodle shop at the end of the street. It is located next to the small market at the entrance of the street. It is used by people coming and going from the market. This is when the business is busy.
On one side of the noodle shop, there is a large wooden board with three big characters written crookedly on it - oily noodles.
The shop owner heard Xiao Yu's call and was busy moving noodles at the noodle stall in front of his house. Meanwhile, his wife beside him was cooking. After hearing Xiao Yu's call, he quickly raised his voice and replied: "Okay! Wait a minute, you three." .”
At this time, I heard the store owner calling his son: "Zai'er, quickly grab three boiled eggs from the pot and deliver them to the three guests over there."
Not long after.
A small plate with boiled eggs has been placed on the table of Xiao Yu and the others. A large bowl of fried noodles is placed in front of each person. Chopped green onions, coriander, and fenugreek roots are placed on the table, allowing the guests to help themselves.
The three of them looked at the bowl of oily noodles, swallowed, looked at each other, grabbed their chopsticks and started to eat.
The noodles in the bowl quickly reached the bottom. Xiao Yu reached out and wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth. She stood up and washed in the sink prepared by the store. She wiped her hands clean with a handkerchief on one side and then happily drank. A burp.
"Comfortable!" Yu Liufei wiped his hands on one side and stood on Xiaoyu's side.
Xiao Yu looked at the old willow tree where the horse was tied, and remembered the time when he was eating Yangchun noodles in Mingshui Town. At that time, it was the first time he met Uncle Jiang, who was Dugu Yi.
He was deeply impressed. Uncle Jiang was clean and tidy, and he seemed to be a very well-behaved old man, kind, kind, elegant and clean. But when eating noodles that day, Uncle Liu didn't recognize Uncle Jiang as his second brother. Xiao Yu thought about it carefully. It's not surprising that Uncle Liu had his back to Uncle Jiang when he ate the noodles, and Uncle Jiang didn't look at him. Uncle Liu was so shameless that until Uncle Jiang left after eating, Uncle Liu never turned around to see what the old man behind him looked like...
Yu Liufei and Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xiao, who was still devouring his food, and walked over and sat down with a smile. Xiao Yu stepped on one foot on the bench, straddling them, and took it in his mouth before brushing off the top from the side of the store's pot. His "toothpick" was scraping the shreds of meat stuck between his teeth.
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry! We'll wait until you finish eating before leaving." Yu Liufei watched Xiao Xiao chewing the noodles and brought him a bowl of noodle soup, asking her to take her time.
Eat some.
Xiao Xiao looked at his bowl and saw that there was still more than half of the noodles in his bowl. He puffed out his mouth and muttered "Okay" and nodded heavily.
After Xiao Xiao finished eating the noodles, Xiao Yu watched her slurping down a few mouthfuls of noodle soup. She felt much better. Xiao Xiao reached out and wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with her sleeves. She also imitated Xiao Yu and burped, saying, "Let's go." Bar!"
Xiao Yu curled her lips, looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Who did you learn this from? You can wipe your mouth with your sleeves without being embarrassed! Little girl, sit down, take a rest, don't be in a hurry."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao pursed her lips at Yu Liufei. Yu Liufei turned his head to the side in embarrassment and looked at the horse, pretending not to see it.
Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly. .
Xiao Xiao reached for the soup bowl. After listening to Xiao Yu's words to sit down for a while, she went to get another bowl of noodle soup, blew in the hot and cold soup and sipped it.
"Tell me, girl, where is your uncle's house? How long do we have to walk to get there?" Xiao Yu asked Xiao Xiao, "Tell us, too, why you ran away from home and had to go to your uncle's house." .”
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao stopped blowing the soup and was stunned. His eyes rolled around. He looked at Xiao Yu and then at Yu Liufei. He saw Brother Xiao Yu looking at him seriously, and Brother Liu Fei also looked at her seriously. He nodded and said, "That's right, girl, you have to tell me a specific place so that we can find it better and calculate how much travel we will have to do along the way."
Xiao Xiao looked at the two brothers who had saved him by chance, knowing that they were good people, so he pursed his lips, nodded, and replied seriously:
"Brother Liufei, Brother Xiaoyu, my uncle's home is in Wangjia Village, Niuchang Town, Western Guizhou. When you first met me, I was a wandering little beggar. I robbed those little beggars of food because I was really hungry. I'm not a bad girl. I've followed you for so long, and I've been with you for so many days, and I haven't done anything bad, right? I'm not lying to you, my family is a wealthy family, but...just..."
When Xiao Xiao said this, he didn't know how to speak. He hesitated and looked back and forth at the crowd around him.
"Just what?" Yu Liufei asked stupidly.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu saw that this girl had something to hide, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, let's not talk about it for now. We can talk about it later on the way. There are few people on the road."
Xiao Xiaoyan smiled, said "Yeah" and nodded to Xiao Yu, secretly thinking that Brother Xiao Yu is really a smart person.
When Yu Liufei was about to question Xiao Xiao again, he saw a man tying a horse walking over there. The figure was very familiar. He seemed to be coming to eat fried noodles. Yu Liufei suddenly realized, patted Xiaoyu and said: " Xiaoyu, look, is that Mr. Kong Ge?"
