Chapter 322 My brother who will drop my little pearl loves me too much, what should I do? (7)

This ship, which is said to be unsinkable, luckily finally reached the shore before it sank. The group hurriedly got off the ship, and they were all a little panicked.

Everyone was still in a state of panic. A storm suddenly hit, and then they lost their direction. Then there were unknown monsters in the water that kept attacking the hull. Finally, the hull inexplicably had many cracks and damages, and water rushed in. If they had reached the shore a little later, they would have sunk to the bottom of the water and fed to the monsters.

It was still raining, so they had to find an abandoned Taoist temple not far away to take shelter from the rain.

The group of people still followed the prince's lead. The prince had never been so ferocious before, but as the only child of the empress, he had received orthodox education from the superiors, and now he was calm in the face of danger. He arranged for people to inquire about the situation nearby, and it would be best if they could find out where this place was.

The men could still bear it a little, but many of the female guests were soaked by the rain. They were all noble ladies and had never experienced such a thing. Now they were in a dilapidated Taoist temple with weeds and grass. Their expressions were full of resentment.

I really regretted going out.

Bai Yao was fine. Bai Yi protected her all the way, so she was not soaked too much by the rain.

Lin Haitang came over and handed over a handkerchief, "Miss Bai, you can wipe your face."

Bai Yao did not refuse. She took the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Lin Haitang replied embarrassedly: "You're welcome."

There is really no shortage of people who are attentive to Bai Yao.

Bai Tiantian muttered in her heart, these people are all flattering, and when they see someone who can bring benefits, they will surround him like flies.

Bai Tiantian looked down on these people. She was still panicking about the fact that she almost died today. The stone statue was really too weird. She had never encountered such a terrifying thing!

Bai Tiantian had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, and now she felt unsafe no matter where she stood. She wanted to find someone to talk to, but those girls who only cared about their own interests surrounded Bai Yao, and the place where Bai Tiantian stood became a vacuum zone.

Bai Tiantian curled her lips, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye, and her expression was stunned.

The people who went out to inquire about the news quickly ran back, and they also brought back an old man, who was said to be the village chief of this place.

The old man had never seen so many people in gorgeous clothes in his life, and he stuttered when he spoke.

According to him, this place is called Yunwu Village. Due to the inconvenient transportation, it is almost isolated from the world. The people in the village are self-sufficient and rarely communicate with the outside world.

Xuanyuan Mingchi did not reveal their identities, but only said that they were rich kids who were out for a parade and encountered a storm. Their boat broke down and it would take some time to repair it, so they could only stay in the village for a while.

Of course, they would pay.

The village chief naturally agreed, and when the rain stopped, he led a group of people out of the broken Taoist temple and walked on the muddy path leading to the village.

Not to mention the ladies who usually rely on carriages to go out, even men who can ride horses and shoot arrows find it difficult to set foot on this muddy path.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, so they naturally couldn't complain.

Slowly, the village could be seen.

It had just rained heavily, and water was still dripping from the treetops, but the white lanterns hanging on the trees were still lit steadily, lighting the direction in the night mist.

The villagers stood outside their houses and stared at the guests who came in. There were so many of them, but they were so silent that only the sound of water drops echoing the footsteps of the guests could be heard. The silent and focused gazes of these people in coarse linen clothes reminded people of the aunties picking cabbages in the vegetable market.

The village chief said: "There are very few outsiders in our village, so everyone is a little curious, but our village is simple and honest, and everyone is warm and hospitable."

The villagers really showed warm smiles on their faces. Their smiles were very similar, as if they were copied and pasted one by one, which vaguely revealed a bit of weirdness.

Xuanyuan Mingchi asked politely: "We need to stay for a few days, old village chief, please help us arrange a place to stay."

The village chief nodded quickly, "Of course, don't worry, sir, we have no shortage of empty rooms, and there is definitely enough for you to stay."

The place the old village chief was talking about was the ancestral hall. In front of the hall for worshipping ancestors, there was an open space for the clan members to hold ceremonies, and in front of the open space was a row of houses. It only needed to be cleaned up, and there would be no problem living there.

The village chief specially called a few villagers to lead the guests to different rooms.

Bai Tiantian saw the figure she was concerned about was about to enter the room, and she hurried over, "Third Master Li."

The young man standing at the door looked at her and did not answer.

Bai Tiantian smiled sweetly, "Do you still remember me? You helped me last time, and I have always wanted to thank you."

The young man's name is Li Xuan, the third young master of the Duke's family, but he is eccentric and weird. It is said that he can't communicate normally with others, and he locks himself in the room every day and does nothing.

He lowered his head and looked a little uneasy.

Bai Tiantian said: "I heard that you like to study mechanical gadgets. I am also interested. Can we chat together if there is a chance?"

Someone nearby has already noticed this scene.

Bai Tiantian, as a woman, actually took the initiative to talk to the man. Even though others already knew that Bai Tiantian's personality was different from ordinary people, they still felt quite frightened when they saw her so bold.

Xuanyuan Mingchi frowned. He had known for a long time that Bai Tiantian was different from other women in this world. He would have punished anyone else for her frequent butt-kicking. He didn't know why Bai Tiantian would always say "forget it" as a joke.

What was even more confusing was that he felt inexplicably angry when he saw Bai Tiantian talking to Li Xuan.

Xuanyuan Mingchi walked over, "Second Miss Bai, it's so late, why don't you go back to rest?"

Bai Tiantian muttered unhappily, "I don't care when I go to rest."

Li Xuan wanted to close the door, but he still remembered what his family taught him not to be disrespectful to the prince.

Bai Tiantian and Xuanyuan Mingchi were still arguing, and it was unknown when they would leave.

Li Xuan lowered his head and scratched his fingers. The skin on his fingers had been scratched red. He didn't seem to feel any pain. He kept repeating the stereotyped movements. His body was extremely stiff.

After Bai Yao entered the room, she had been waiting for news from Xiao Que. When Xiao Que came back, she hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is the box still there?"
