The next day, early morning.
Bai Zhe also woke up from his sleep, washed himself briefly at the well in the backyard of the hotel, returned to the first floor and planned to have breakfast before going on the road. However, we saw Ying again just like last night. It seems that they stayed in this hotel directly last night, but they were too tired to move after all.
Paimon and Ying didn't eat much for breakfast, apparently because they ate too much last night.
"Good morning, you two."
Bai Zhe was the first to say hello, and Ying nodded in response with a smile, and then urged the sleepy Paimon to have breakfast.
"Okay, wake up Paimon quickly and hurry up to have breakfast. We have been delayed for several days. If we don't hurry up and set off, we will miss the commissioned time."
Paimon, who was in his arms, let out a few dissatisfied sounds. After opening his eyes with difficulty, he reached out and grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
Bai Zhe ordered a lighter food. After all, he was going to ride a horse later, and eating oily food would make him nauseous during the bumpy ride.
Breakfast time passed quickly. When Bai Zhe led the horses to the road and prepared to set off, Ying's voice came from behind and made him stop what he was doing.
"Wait! Mr. Bai Zhe!"
Bai Zhe, who was holding the reins, turned around and looked at the panting Ying. Next to her was an apologetic Paimon, whining like a dog that had made a mistake.
"Why, what happened? Pamon looked aggrieved."
When Ying mentioned this, he showed a helpless expression. He put his hands on his waist and sighed speechlessly. Paimon on the side became more and more self-blame.
Ying opened his mouth to explain: "Originally, I was going to take a ride with the caravan to Xingluo Town today, but because I missed the time, the other party had already taken a step ahead. Originally, I was barely in a hurry, and now I don't have any extra time. It’s time to find other caravans heading to Xingluo Town, so I thought…”
Bai Zhe agreed before the interview was over.
"Okay, get on your horse."
Ying was also happy when he heard this reply, but seeing Bai Zhe, who got on the horse first, he was a little entangled for a while, or hesitant and at a loss.
With just such a small movement, Bai Zhe understood it instantly. He couldn't help but smile and got off his horse. It seems that Ying, who traveled to various countries, can't ride a horse. This embarrassed look is interesting, but he didn't mean to make fun of him.
After helping Ying onto the horse smoothly, Paimon sat in her arms. Bai Zhe, who followed closely behind, turned over neatly and sat behind her. Although there was a slight ambiguity in the front and back, but Neither side seemed to care too much.
When the journey is boring, it is inevitable to chat to relieve the boredom.
Ying raised her head slightly and could see Bai Zhe riding a horse seriously. When this guy was serious, he didn't have the usual frivolity.
"Hey, Mr. Bai Zhe. How long does it take from Qingquan Town to Xingluo Town?"
Bai Zhe, who held the reins tightly, said calmly: "Normally, it takes four. If you encounter a monster, it will be extended according to the situation. But basically, this situation will not happen as long as you are on the road. After all, there is no food from me. A jobber."
Ying made a sound of admiration: "Hey~ Mr. Bai Zhe is still as confident as ever."
It seemed that these words were slightly sarcastic, but Bai Zhe didn't care about it. After all, Alicia's mockery was even more excessive.
At this moment, Ying couldn't help but think so, and his speech was really quite confident. After all, there are countless monsters on the Teyvat continent. Is the road to Starfall Town really as safe as he thinks?
Although he does not deny that he has the ability to hire many people to do this job, according to the information he got from Ningguang, Bai Zhe is completely mercenary. Would he really do such a thing for ordinary people? ?
But this is only Ningguang's one-sided statement. If he is only interested in profit, Ningguang, as the largest businessman in Liyue Port, seems to be unqualified for others.
"I remember last night when you visited Xingluo Town, there was a ruins near it that concerned you?"
Yingdian Lingtou reached out and stroked Paimon, who was dozing in his arms.
"Well, I have a little trouble with those guys, and they probably have something I want to know."
Bai Zhe was stunned for a moment and stiffened slightly. Hadn't she been traveling around the countries in search of her brother? It's really interesting how the monster has what she wants in its hands. Is it about something else?
I don't know why I'm quite interested in it. Monsters... I rarely pay attention to adventure. As my power grows, I need to expend more and more energy. The people under me are not yet able to stand alone. Later, after the rice wife market is opened, people will still be needed to station it, but it seems that the woman from Coral Palace Xinhai can be used instead. After all, the interests are consistent.
No, why are you thinking about work all the time? Aren’t you just here to relax...
After a while of silence, the journey continued until the noon break. After all, the horses also had to eat grass and rest.
Ying's outdoor life experience was much better than that of Bai Zhe, who was a dabbler. Fortunately, he didn't interfere with Ying's cooking. Paimon also slept with his head covered, until something appetizing came from the pot. The scent wakes it up.
The dazed Paimon touched his belly and asked like a glutton: "It smells so good~ What delicious food did you make?"
Lunch was not complicated, just a simple stew. Bai Zhe, who had tasted various delicacies from the mountains and seas, shouldn't have been too impressed. He picked up a wooden spoon and took the first steaming bite into his mouth...
tasty.
Bai Zhe's eyelids twitched slightly. He was really surprised by the taste of this stew. It had a unique taste but an unexpected fusion... Is this the taste of Jueyun pepper and Qingxin? Isn’t pure heart a medicinal material?
Turning over the ingredients in the bowl with a spoon, you found pure white petals and sliced Jueyun peppers.
Seemingly seeing Bai Zhe's behavior, Ying raised her head slightly proudly and said with a smile: "Humph, this is the stew I learned from Xiang Ning, the chef of Wanmin Hall. Even if you cook every Liuliting and Xinyuexuan serves as a canteen, and I believe this dish is enough to satisfy your tongue."
It seems that Ying is confident enough in this dish, perhaps to repay Bai Zhe for agreeing to go to the same school
"Well, it is indeed surprisingly delicious. The special spices and unexpected ingredients really made my eyes shine."
Hearing this reply from Bai Zhe, Ying smiled innocently like a child who had won.
