"No!" Qin Kai refused: "If I want to stay, I definitely can't keep you!"
He couldn't put Shen Yixin in danger, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it when he went back.
Seeing Qin Kai's embarrassed look, Shen Yinxin said, "What should we do?"
The carriage was not big enough for four people, so they had to leave one person behind, especially now that the horses were tired.
"I'll keep it." Qin Kai said, handing the banknote Xiao Ran gave him last night into Shen Yinxin's hand, leaving only one for emergencies.
"Alas..." Unable to resist Qin Kai, Shen Yinxin could only agree.
"Okay! I will find someone as soon as possible!"
Laifu didn't care at all, he just hoped that Xiao Ran would be okay.
The three of them followed the carriage and left, leaving only Qin Kai and Laifu behind.
"It's getting late, let's hide a little bit, lest those people come looking for us." Qin Kai suggested proactively.
While the two were talking, a sudden burst of noise came.
Turning around, I saw a carriage driver speeding towards me.
"No, let's hide quickly!" Laifu grabbed Qin Kai's hand.
"No need now."
Qin Kai smiled and watched the carriage slowly approach.
Laifu was a little confused: "What is this?"
"This is my carriage."
Laifu didn't recognize it, but he could tell it at a glance.
"No, wasn't the carriage robbed?"
Qin Kai was a little scared when he thought about it, but when he thought about Xiao Ran's last words, he immediately calmed down.
Wei Wei crouched behind a rock and watched the carriage slow down slowly, finally stopping at a fork in the road.
"It's Xiao Ran!" Qin Kai was sure.
Laifu also saw the person driving the carriage and rushed forward with excitement on his face: "Uncle! Are you okay?"
Xiao Ran held the reins and was stunned for a moment when he looked at Laifu rushing towards him.
"It's okay, but we need to hurry up."
The last thing he heard was a man cutting down the door. The wooden door might not be able to withstand it, so he had to hurry up and leave.
"Let's go to the town to meet them and find another way, shall we?"
Qin Kai took the initiative to speak, and then the two of them got on the carriage and drove towards the town.
Fortunately, the town is not far from here, but Xiao Ran is a little worried, afraid that the man will catch up.
As for that woman, her hands and feet were tied and she probably wouldn't survive.
"Where is Miss Shen?" Xiao Ran came to the entrance of the town and looked at the sign for Laiwan Town, but did not go in.
"It should be inside, right?"
After all, he was not sure whether Xiao Ran was still alive. Shen Yixin only said that he would wait for them in the town, and he should also go to the inn.
"Let's do this. You and Laifu wait here while I go take a look."
Feeling that something was wrong, Xiao Bai jumped out of the carriage.
"I'll go with you!" Qin Kai was also worried about Shen Yixin and had no patience to wait here.
"That's fine, please keep Laifu safe."
Xiao Ran confessed, and then took Qin Kai into the town.
It was just noon now, and the weather was not too hot, but there were not many people on the street, and there were even a few shops that were closed.
Xiao Ran walked along the street and arrived at the city center.
The flow of people is also a little bigger, but it's not too busy.
"Are there so few people?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised.
"Maybe today is not a market day?" Qin Kai guessed.
"No, if it wasn't a market day, all these stalls wouldn't be gathered here."
Xiao Ran had some knowledge in the countryside before. Many of the stalls were owned by villagers from nearby villages, and they would only come to the town on market days.
"There may be other hidden reasons."
Qin Kai couldn't figure it out, but it wasn't a bad thing if there were few people. At least it would be easier to find people.
Shen Yixin's appearance is still very eye-catching in a crowd!
But when Xiao Ran looked over, he didn't see Shen Yixin's figure.
"Let's see if there is any inn here?" Xiao Ran asked.
Since I have to wait for someone, I definitely won’t wait on the street.
The two of them walked around and were surprised to find that there were only two inns in the town, but there were no people in either of them.
Because of the shadow last night, Xiao Ran didn't dare to step in casually.
"There's no one around, wouldn't it be..."
If the situation last night happens again, they have no confidence in running out again.
"Go to the teahouse opposite?"
Xiao Ran noticed a teahouse opposite the inn at a glance, and thought that it was in the teahouse that he and Shen Yinxin met for the first time.
"How can you think about drinking tea now?"
Qin Kai also just wanted to leave this ghost place as quickly as possible, as far away as possible.
"Then you wait here."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he walked directly towards the teahouse.
Too lazy to explain to Qin Kai his encounter with Shen Yinxin.
Qin Kai was a little impatient. He thought Xiao Ran was quite reliable before and he saved them after all.
Now he seems to be heartless.
Xiao Ran entered the teahouse and found that there were quite a few people here. The storyteller was telling stories on the table.
I glanced around and didn't see Shen Yixin in the lobby on the first floor.
"Waiter, did a young lady come here just now?" Xiao Ran grabbed the waiter who was passing by.
"have no idea!"
The waiter still had tea in his hand, and he probably wanted to deliver it to the guests.
"Speak well if you have something to say."
Xiao Ran put the broken silver into the tray.
The waiter then glanced at Xiao Ran: "You can go to the private room on the second floor to have a look."
After saying that, he left directly.
I looked at the second floor and found that only the west box had an open window.
Xiao Ran went upstairs, but was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man.
"Who are you? Which box are you from?"
"I'm here to see my friends."
Xiao Ran didn't know the name of the box, so he just wanted to fool him.
"Box name."
The middle-aged man looked like he was in charge, but Xiao Ran couldn't be fooled at first glance.
He used his trick again and took out a hundred taels of silver notes: "I want to book a box next to my friend's box."
Seeing the one hundred taels of silver notes, a trace of greed flashed in the man's eyes.
"Okay, come up?"
The man took Xiao Ran upstairs and asked Xiao Ran to choose a private room.
"The private rooms on the west and south sides have already been selected. Which of the remaining two do you want?"
After looking at the door on the west side, Xiao Ran made a decision.
"Then this one."
Xiao Ran pointed to the box on the east side, but the man didn't say anything.
It is directly opposite the private room on the west side. When the window is opened, you can see the situation on the opposite side, which is somewhat similar to a courtyard.
"Okay, I'll have the waiter come over in a minute."
Then he opened the door and let Xiao Ran in.
Then he left. Watching the man leave, Xiao Ran opened the window.
He looked across the way, but saw no one.
"Uncle, what do you need?"
There was a sudden sound from behind, and Xiao Ran was startled.
"Biluochun!"
After speaking, he also gave a little bit of silver as a tip.
I had just snatched the carriage back, and the last thing I needed was money.
There is still Shen Yunxin's money in it, but I guess I won't mind!
The waiter walked out, and Xiao Ran actually wanted to open the door of the west box directly to see if Shen Yixin was inside.
But it always felt a little weird, so Xiao Ran could only explore the situation first.
