In the street market, the cries of vendors, the shouts of jugglers, and the chatter and laughter in teahouses are lively and harmonious.
Shu Zhihan and Meng Haowu walked among the bustling crowd.
They searched for the whereabouts of Luo Jinyu and Meng Haowen in the bustling market.
However, no matter how they searched, they found nothing but loss.
"Madam, why don't we find a place to rest first."
Shu Zhihan realized that she was feeling a little tired, so she nodded, "Yeah, okay."
She reached out and gently touched her belly, thinking that although it was urgent to find Luo Jinyu, she must take good care of the little guy in her belly.
Every time she thinks about a little life in her belly, her heart becomes softer and firmer.
The two of them came to an inn and took two rooms respectively.
After sending her into the room, Meng Haowu said: "Madam, you have a good rest first, and I will go out to investigate. No matter who it is, don't open the door. If you need anything, wait until I come back."
Shu Zhihan looked at him with a smile, as if he seemed to be more stable than before.
Meng Haowu closed the door and left quickly.
Shu Zhihan was sitting alone in the room. She poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.
But he was thinking in his heart whether Meng Haowu would gain anything from going this time.
Now, compared to Luo Jinyu, she was more worried about Meng Haowen. After all, he disappeared for no reason while he was with her.
As for Luo Jinyu, although he is no longer with him now, his life is safe anyway, but he just doesn't remember himself.
She sat for a while and gradually felt that her eyelids seemed a little heavy. Then she stood up and walked slowly to the bed.
After Shu Zhihan hesitated for a while, she lay on the bed fully clothed.
For a moment, her reason told her that she could not sleep now, but no matter how strong her will was, she could not restrain the sleepiness that kept coming.
Gradually, Shu Zhihan closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
The sun shines on the bustling street market, with various hawking sounds coming and going, creating a bustling scene.
Meng Haowu, dressed in green clothes and carrying a long sword on his back, shuttled among the crowds.
His eyes were firm and his face was dusty, but he could not hide his heroic spirit.
He came to an old man setting up a stall and saluted: "Old man, I want to ask about someone. He is with a woman in green. Have you seen him?"
The old man looked up at Meng Haowu with a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his composure. He said in a deep voice: "Young man, there are many stories in the streets here, and maybe the person you are looking for is among them."
Hearing this, Meng Haowu felt hope ignited in his heart. He saluted again and said, "Thank you, old man. How can I find out?"
The old man smiled slyly and said mysteriously: "To find him, you need to find the 'eyes and ears' here."
Meng Haowu frowned in confusion: "Ears and eyes?"
The old man nodded and pointed to a teahouse not far away: "Go there and find the hunchbacked old man. He is called 'Old Smart'. There is nothing he doesn't know about the people and things here."
Meng Haowu glanced at the old man gratefully, turned around and walked towards the teahouse.
When he stepped into the teahouse, the noisy sounds of the street seemed to be isolated from the door. The aroma of tea was fragrant and the atmosphere was peaceful.
He easily found the hunchbacked old man, who was telling an ancient legend to a guest.
Meng Haowu waited quietly until the guests left. He said to the old man respectfully: "Old sir, I am looking for a person. Have you ever seen him?"
The old man slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "What are you looking for them for?"
Meng Haowu's heartbeat quickened, wondering if this meant he knew the general's whereabouts. He nervously asked, "Then do you know where he went?"
The old man shook his head: "Maybe you can go to Lianhua Manor and have a look."
Meng Haowu bowed deeply to express his gratitude, then hurriedly left the teahouse and rushed towards the place he said.
He asked many people along the way and finally arrived at Lotus Manor.
What came into view was a large lake. On the clear water, green lotus leaves rolled, and white lotus flowers bloomed, like white jade under the moonlight, embedded among the emerald green lotus leaves.
It was a piece of greenery full of vitality, with a faint floral fragrance, swaying gently in the wind.
In the middle of the water, an exquisite house stands there, as if it is a mysterious world far away from the world.
The appearance of this house is simple and elegant, with exquisite lotus patterns carved on the window lattice, which complement the surrounding lotus flowers.
The house is surrounded by a clear lake, and the shadow of the house is reflected in the lake like a crystal jade mirror.
The breeze blows and the lotus trembles slightly, as if telling something to the house.
At this time, a soft light came from the crack in the door of the house, and a woman's figure appeared at the door. She was wearing a long green dress, with the skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy. Her face is delicate and her eyes sparkle with wisdom, which makes people admire her.
In this beautiful lotus bush, the house and the woman together form a harmonious picture. The existence of the lotus and the house seems to be telling an ancient and mysterious story, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Meng Haowu couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery in front of him. Looking at the woman, he couldn't help but think that maybe she was the woman in green that Shu Zhihan mentioned.
So, the general should really be here.
Meng Haowu felt excited when he thought of this possibility.
I thought about going there, but found that there was no bridge to the house.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Meng Haowu walked back and forth on the shore, thinking about how he should get there.
He looked around and found no ships, not even a plank of wood.
In desperation, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Girl, can you let me pass?"
However, it seemed that no matter how loud he shouted, it was of no avail. The girl in green didn't seem to hear him at all.
It was better now, Meng Haowu was extremely anxious.
Meng Haowu stood on the shore, clasping his hands and looking anxiously at the girl in green in the middle of the water.
His voice echoed in the air, but the girl seemed to be immersed in her own world and indifferent to his call.
Then he caught a glimpse of his own reflection on the water. He had an idea, ran back to the shore, picked up a stone, and threw it toward the water.
The stone bounced on the water, causing a splash. The girl's attention was attracted by the sudden noise and she looked at Meng Haowu.
Meng Haowu quickly raised his arm and waved it vigorously to attract the girl's attention. He pointed to the water and motioned for the girl to come over.
The girl looked at Meng Haowu's actions with a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she soon understood Meng Haowu's intention.
But she didn't make any response, but turned and walked towards the house.
Meng Haowu's heart collapsed.
"My mother, you don't want me to swim over like this, do you? Although I understand water skills, I have never swum such a long distance. If I go down directly in the middle, wouldn't it be really bad? It's over.
This girl is really, why is she so unkind? If I really go there, see how I deal with her. "
Meng Haowu stood alone on the shore and cursed.
After finally thinking about it, I decided to go into the water and go over first to see if the general was there.
When his feet first touched the water, the coldness instantly extinguished his blood, and he quickly retracted his feet.
"Yes, I can't go there yet. Madam is still waiting for me at the inn. I have to go back first, otherwise Madam will definitely be anxious. Besides, I have to prepare food for Madam."
After giving himself such a reason, Meng Haowu stood up quickly, took another look at the Lotus Villa, and then thought that he would go back first, since the house would not run away anyway.
He held a basket of fresh fruits and hot snacks he had just bought in his hands, and walked quickly to the inn.
He secretly wondered if his wife would like to eat these foods.
In the market, he specially selected foods with bright colors and delicious taste, hoping that they would bring some appetite to his wife.
His heartbeat was in sync with his steps, tapping the ground rhythmically.
The moment he walked into the inn, he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then walked towards the madam's room.
He knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, he saw Shu Zhihan coming to open the door.
Looking at her face, she was not very good, a little pale.
Meng Haowu walked in and placed the food in his hands on the table one by one.
"Madam, I brought you some food. I didn't know what you like to eat, so I just bought some."
Shu Zhihan smiled and shook her head, "You are interested, but I don't have much appetite."
"Madam, even if you have no appetite, you still have to eat some. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to go find the general. Besides, if it's not for yourself, you should also think about the child in your belly. He needs to grow. .”
Hearing Meng Haowu's words, Shu Zhihan couldn't help but laugh.
She never thought that she would hear Meng Haowu say such words one day, which was really strange.
However, this made her feel a lot more comfortable. After all, Meng Haowu like this would definitely not let Mi Yue suffer. She thought she would be able to live a good life in the future.
Shu Zhihan didn't understand why she suddenly thought like this, as if there was a faint uneasiness emerging from her heart.
She was a little confused, so she shook her head slightly, then picked up a pastry and brought it to her mouth to take a bite.
