Chapter 287 Don’t Let the Goat Escape
"My name is Hua'er, just like the little wildflowers you see on the roadside..."
Hua didn't wait for the little girl to speak, and started talking about herself, "I don't have a surname. A long time ago, I was driven out of the village and my surname was taken away from me."
"Why?" Huo Linger heard of such a thing for the first time. She forgot her fear and became indignant.
"There's no reason. If I have to say, it's probably because I'm a woman, a woman with very bad luck." Huaer smiled bitterly. After so many years, she didn't even have the energy to hate, and could only accept it.
She looked at the little dumpling with some anticipation.
"My name is Huo Ling'er," Huo Ling'er spoke before the little girl could say anything. "Since we are going to get to know each other again, everyone should introduce themselves."
She deliberately lowered her voice a few degrees, "I am... the princess of our Northern Barbarians. My father... died a year ago. Now I am... an orphan. But it doesn't matter. I am still the most noble little princess."
She looked at the little dumpling with a smile, "It's your turn."
"My name is Li Suining," the little girl said in a baby voice, "that's..."
She always felt a little guilty because even now, she couldn't reveal her true identity.
"There's only one father, two mothers, and a few brothers at home." She narrowed her eyes happily at Hua'er and Huo Ling'er, "Nice to meet you."
"Me too." Huo Linger couldn't help but agree, especially Li Suining, she was willing to be her good friend for life.
"Me too." Hua'er's nose felt a little sour, and she quickly lowered her head and reminded the two little guys, "Eat quickly, the noodles won't taste good if they get cold."
The three of them lowered their heads, eating noodles, thinking about their own thoughts and shedding tears silently.
They all ate this bowl of noodles very slowly because they knew that after they finished eating, they would have to separate.
Finally, Huaer was the first to put down her chopsticks. "I haven't eaten this full in a long time. A bowl of noodles and an egg, what a luxury."
She didn't know how much money the man could earn, but life in the mountains had always been difficult.
The man never bought eggs to bring up the mountain. The eggs they ate on the mountain were indeed laid by the chickens raised by Huaer, but there were not many, and she basically left them for the man to eat.
Soon, Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger also finished eating. They ate half of the egg, but they really couldn't finish the noodles.
"Okay, let's go. I'll take you back." Huaer put on her bag and stretched out her hand to the two little guys.
This time, Huo Ling'er did not refuse. She also held Hua'er's hand and shouted happily, "Auntie!"
Huaer smiled very happily. She didn't expect that she had such a good life. One day, the princess would call her aunt.
"Good kids!" she responded, leading the two little ones out of the noodle shop and walking towards the government office step by step.
They stopped about ten meters away from the government office.
"Okay, I'll take you here." Hua'er was still a little scared, "You... go over there."
"Are you leaving?" Huo Linger asked reluctantly.
Huaer nodded.
Xiaotuanzi was even more reluctant to leave, and she always felt that Huaer would need some time to adapt to being alone outside, and it would be very worrying if she was alone during this period.
She tugged at Hua'er's sleeve, "You... don't want anything in return?"
The flowers didn't speak.
The little girl apologized, "I lied to you about who Huo Ling'er is. I'm sorry..."
"Silly child." Hua'er felt more and more guilty. Who could blame her for a child lying to survive?
"But it's true that I'll give you money." Little Dumpling turned to look at Huo Ling'er, "Right?"
Huo Linger nodded immediately, "Yes, there are many treasures in my palace, you can have as many as you want. Come back to the palace with me."
When Xiaotuanzi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. It would be best if Huaer could go back to the palace with Huo Linger and work in the palace.
"Forget it." Unexpectedly, Hua'er quickly shook her head and said, "I'm clumsy and vulgar. Compared to that Yingzi, I'm far inferior. I can't be a bad person."
"It doesn't matter. With me here, no one will dare to bully you. You don't have to dare to do anything." Huo Linger really wanted to keep her.
But Hua'er still shook her head. She felt that she was not worthy. "Okay, go over there quickly. I'll watch you go in and then leave."
There was no other way, Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger could only leave hand in hand, looking back every step of the way.
When they arrived at the government office, the little girl stepped forward and said in a baby voice, "Hello, are you looking for Princess Huo Ling'er?"
She pointed to the person standing behind her and said, "This is him. Please go and inform your master."
The officers and soldiers at the door were obviously stunned for a moment, looked at the two little guys repeatedly several times, and then turned around and ran inside.
Another officer said softly, "Please wait a moment, our master will be out soon."
He looked at Huo Ling'er with some curiosity and couldn't help but confirm, "Are you really Huo Ling'er?"
Huo Linger nodded, "Of course, your master should have seen me. Let him come out and he will know whether I am lying or not."
The two little guys waited for a while, and couldn't help but look at Huaer. They saw Huaer still standing there, waving at them.
After a while, the soldier who had just entered came back. "Unfortunately, our master is not here, but you can go in first. Princess Huo Ling'er has indeed disappeared recently, and we are also looking for her. We will settle you first and talk to you when your master comes back, okay?"
Huo Linger frowned in dissatisfaction, "Alright, quickly find someone to inform your master. We have friends in the city looking for us, so we have to inform them as well."
"Yes, yes, please come in first." The officers and soldiers politely invited Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger in.
Then he winked at another officer, and together they closed the government door.
Huaer still stood there, watching from afar, feeling uneasy for some reason.
She stood there for a long time before sitting down on the side of the road with her bag. In fact, it was quite safe for her here, as the man and Sakurako could not be around here.
She wanted to wait a while until the people Xiao Suining mentioned came to pick them up, then she would feel at ease.
At this moment, the waiter from the noodle shop suddenly ran over and said, "Sister, do you want to stay in the hotel? There is an inn above our noodle shop. Do you want me to open a room for you?"
Hua'er subconsciously hugged the bag in her arms tightly and said fiercely, "Get out of here, I won't stay in the hotel."
The waiter was startled and went back in shame. When he entered the noodle shop, he pointed at the flowers and cursed at the boss.
The boss finally said, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let the goat run away when it's in your hands."
