Xing'er ran out in small steps, with a hint of worry in her eyes, saying, "Young Master...you are finally back."
Tong Wenyao patted her head. Having been captured for a while wasn't without its benefits. She'd been exercising all day, and now she was much taller than Xing'er. She was in a good mood and said, "Let's go in and talk!" Xing'er grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly and nodded heavily, her eyes never leaving her.
Xing'er was probably frightened by her absence. She returned to the living room and sat down. Xing'er immediately brought up some cakes and fruits and said, "Miss, where have you been? You said you'd be back in a day or two, but it's already been over half a month! Oh, and Uncle Wang is still out there looking for you! No, I have to go tell them to get Uncle Wang back."
After saying that, Xing'er trotted out and came back in a moment later. She scratched her head and said, "Dongzi went and told them."
Seeing Bu Hou stuffing cakes into his mouth, Xing'er asked in confusion, "Miss, who is this man?" She glanced at Bu Hou and said, "I met him in prison. You can call him Uncle Bu!" When she heard Miss mention prison, she glared at him and said, "Miss, what happened? Why did you end up in prison?"
His uncle came in from the door and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the young lady. When he arrived in Bailu County, he got the news that the young lady and the carriage disappeared in the place where the black deer appeared. And they said that those who disappeared in the place where the black deer appeared never came back, and even their bodies were missing.
They didn't believe it, and after searching the area for several days, they discovered that there was someone behind the so-called black deer. If it weren't for the footprints on the mountaintop that couldn't be washed away by rain, they wouldn't have found it! Gradually, they found a clue and discovered that the people who had disappeared had been captured and used as private soldiers.
However, they also found out that after training in the canyon for a period of time, a group of people would be sent to the island. At that time, they were wondering whether the young lady would also be sent to the island.
He had just returned from Bailu City and was planning to take one or two people to the island they mentioned to check for any clues after settling things here. Unexpectedly, the young lady returned. Tong Wenyao briefly recounted the incident, and after finishing it, she went to wash up and have a good sleep. In fact, she had originally wanted to come back and wash up and go to bed, but when she saw the worry on their faces, she delayed for a few minutes to tell them.
Besides, the water for the bathtub was not ready yet, so I went to wash up and go to bed after finishing my talk.
Hot water can wash away all fatigue. She originally wanted to go to bed and sleep, but unexpectedly she fell asleep in the bathtub. Xing'er saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, so she opened the door and came in. Seeing her young lady sleeping in the bathtub, her eyes were full of heartache. She found a little maid and gently carried the young lady to bed, covered her with a quilt, and then gently closed the door of the room. She saw that the young lady had only eaten a few cakes when she came back, and she hadn't eaten the meal yet. She had to go to the small kitchen to tell the cook to prepare the food.
It was afternoon now, and she guessed that the young lady might sleep until midnight. The cook was hired and would go back at night. Xing'er decided to give the cook extra money and let her stay here overnight so that the young lady could have food when she woke up.
After giving the order, Xing'er went to find Dongzi and asked him what had happened. Although she knew that the young lady only reported good news and not bad news, as a servant, she had to take care of everything for the young lady to see if she could save the young lady or leave any enemies behind. When the time comes, she can repay the young lady's savior or guard against the enemy.
When they returned to the hall and saw Uncle Bu still there, Xing'er quickly said, "Uncle Bu, the guest room is ready. Dongzi, take Uncle Bu to the guest room."
Bu Hou stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss Xing'er." Xing'er showed a sincere expression on her face and said, "Uncle Bu, this is what we should do. Our young master is in prison and it is thanks to you that he took care of us."
Although the young lady said that she and Uncle Bu had a deal, Xing'er still treated him with courtesy. Who knows if she will encounter other things in the future that require Uncle Bu's care? What's more, there are many miasma and poisonous creatures in Yue Country. The young lady brought Uncle Bu here, probably because she thought that if she encounters poisonous creatures, Uncle Bu will be able to help her!
As Xing'er expected, when Tong Wen Yao woke up, it was already dark inside and outside the house. However, she was so hungry that she got up and wanted to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, just as she lit the candle, there was a knock on the door. It was Xing'er's voice.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Xing'er pushed the door open, and a maid came in with food behind her. The room was instantly filled with the aroma of food, and Tong Wenyao's stomach rumbled. Xing'er placed a bowl of porridge and a pot of soup on the table and said, "I'm worried that Miss won't be able to sleep well after eating, so I replaced the rice with porridge. This porridge is cooked over low heat, which is the cook's specialty."
She took a mouthful of the rice from the porridge and an indescribable fragrance seemed to enter her mind. Her first reaction was that the porridge was delicious! She didn't know if she was hungry or what, but after finishing the porridge, she still felt a little unsatisfied. She glanced at Xing'er and said, "Is there any porridge in the kitchen?"
Xing Er said, "Miss, you shouldn't eat too much porridge. This soup is pretty good. You can try it. If you don't like it, I'll go to the kitchen and bring some more porridge."
Seeing Xing'er strongly recommending this soup, Tong Wenyao tasted it with a spoon. As soon as she took the first bite, her eyes lit up. This soup was so delicious. When she put it in her mouth, there was also the fragrance of lotus flowers in her mouth. However, it is not advisable to drink too much soup at night, and this soup is relatively small.
Xing'er said from the side: "This soup is lotus pigeon soup. It tastes like the fragrance of lotus." No wonder, after drinking it, Tong Wen Yao stayed in the yard for a while to digest the food before going back to sleep.
The next day, Tong Wen Yao felt refreshed. After doing a set of exercises in the yard, she washed up and left the hall. At this time, the people in the hall were already on high alert. Tong Wen Yao had asked her uncle to buy some medicinal herbs to prevent poisonous insects, as well as some sulfur and other powders, and distributed them to the people in the escort agency.
She prepared a copy for herself and put it in her space. This time she went to Yue State to find the python, and she was afraid it would take a long time to come back! Her uncle said, "Bailu County is the easiest place to enter Yue State. I will go there to guard it, and I will be able to pick you up when you come out."
Tong Wen Yao thought for a while and said, "I won't be able to come back for a while. Your uncle can send someone to pick me up over there, and you can handle the affairs here." Her uncle glanced at her and nodded. If the young lady hadn't asked him to stay here, he would have followed her long ago.
However, the store here has not yet been put on track, and there are still many matters waiting for him to deal with. After watching them leave the city, he returned to the teahouse.
