Chapter 1069 This Woman is So Stupid
Lingtai County is a small and remote county.
Even so, Lingtai County received a warrant of arrest sent by the imperial court.
Among them is a wanted warrant for Yu Jiu.
Yu Jiu, wearing a coarse cloth shorts and a bamboo hat, stood in front of the bulletin board. He looked up at the wanted notice posted at the top of the bulletin board and clicked his tongue.
“It’s quite realistic!”
Generally, there will be a big difference between the portrait on the wanted poster and the real person, because the artist responsible for drawing the picture has never seen the wanted criminal in person and can only rely on other people's descriptions to draw the picture, so the result is inevitably unsatisfactory.
But the wanted poster of Yu Jiu in front of him depicts Yu Jiu’s image vividly.
Anyone with eyes can connect the real person and the portrait at a glance.
Xiao Xixi was also looking at the portrait.
She recognized the portrait the first time she saw it.
That was drawn by Luo Qinghan himself.
His painting skills were superb, and he had seen Yu Jiu in person, so naturally his paintings were extremely realistic.
But no matter how similar the drawing is, it is useless.
Yu Jiu had anticipated this situation and disguised himself in advance.
At this moment, he looked like an ordinary mountain man with dark, rough skin and a layer of stubble under his chin.
Xiao Xixi had changed her palace dress into the most common apricot-colored coat and skirt, and even the fox fur cloak she brought from the palace was left in the carriage.
At this time, she was wearing a roughly made black cloak.
She deliberately pulled her hood up to cover her head, hiding her white hair.
There were soldiers guarding the notice board.
The officers and soldiers probably didn't expect that the wanted criminal would come to them openly, so they didn't even look in the direction of Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi, and continued chatting and laughing among themselves.
Xiao Xixi sniffed.
She smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and immediately turned around to follow the scent.
Seeing her walking so fast, Yu Jiu thought she had discovered something, so he quickly followed her.
Finally, she stopped in front of a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes.
Yu Jiu: “…”
He was so stupid, he shouldn't have had too much hope in this woman.
The stall owner picked up a fragrant, hot roasted sweet potato and promoted it enthusiastically.
"Young lady, would you like a baked sweet potato?"
Xiao Xixi stared at the roasted sweet potatoes and couldn't help swallowing.
But she had no money.
She could only turn her head to look at Yu Jiu and asked eagerly.
"Can you lend me some money?"
Yu Jiu curled his lips and sneered: "No."
Before, she would rather hoard the food than share it with him, forcing him to travel on an empty stomach.
He still remembers this grudge!
Xiao Xixi's eyes quickly turned red, tears gathered in her eyes, and her lips trembled into a wavy line.
"Wow, wow, I want to eat baked sweet potatoes!"
Yu Jiu ignored her coquettishness and sneered, "You can't eat without money."
The stall owner couldn't bear to see this anymore and couldn't help but start to persuade them.
"How can you talk like that, young man? Your wife just wants to eat a roasted sweet potato, which is not worth much money. Even if you are reluctant to buy it for her, you shouldn't scold her like that, right?"
Before Yu Jiu could open his mouth to argue, Xiao Xixi spoke first.
"Brother, you misunderstood. I am not his wife."
The stall owner looked at her, then looked at Yu Jiu next to him, and asked in confusion.
"Aren't you a couple?"
Xiao Xixi said with tears in her eyes: "My husband has someone else, but because of this person, she took me away from my husband. Woo, woo, woo, I miss my husband so much now. Every time I went out with my husband, he would buy me delicious food."
The stall owner was horrified: "It turned out to be a human trafficker!"
He immediately threw away the roasted sweet potato in his hand and ran towards the soldiers not far away, shouting as he ran.
"Sir, there is a human trafficker here who is trafficking decent women. You must arrest him quickly!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Jiu grabbed Xiao Xixi's arm and ran away.
Yu Jiu didn't stop until he had run a long distance and was sure that the group of soldiers could not catch up with him.
He glared at Xiao Xixi angrily.
"You did that on purpose!"
The tears in Xiao Xixi's eyes had long since disappeared.
She raised her chin and said triumphantly.
"Yeah, who told you not to lend me money to buy baked sweet potatoes?"
Yu Jiu gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating! Do you still remember why you came here?"
Xiao Xixi: "I know I'm here to help you find your father, but that doesn't stop me from eating roasted sweet potatoes. We can totally go find your parents while eating roasted sweet potatoes."
Yu Jiu roared: "Is this the point?!"
Xiao Xixi blinked innocently: "Isn't it this?"
Yu Jiu was so angry that his heart ached.
Xiao Xixi looked around and soon found a place to eat nearby.
It was a mutton restaurant, and the colorful flag hanging at the door read "Wei Ji Mutton".
Xiao Xixi immediately perked up and said excitedly.
"Let's go eat!"
Yu Jiu didn't want to eat, but he was afraid that this woman would cause trouble again.
In order to avoid any further trouble, he could only walk into Wei Ji Mutton Restaurant with her with a gloomy face.
The mutton restaurant is doing pretty good business and is almost full.
Xiao Xixi found an empty table and sat down.
The proprietress asked enthusiastically as she poured tea for them skillfully.
"What would you like to eat? Our signature dishes are mutton noodles, mutton dumplings, and mutton hotpot. Which one would you like to order?"
Only children make choices. As an adult, Xiao Xixi said without hesitation.
"I want them all!"
The proprietress was stunned and asked uncertainly, "You mean, one serving of each?"
Xiao Xixi: "First, one serving of mutton hotpot, two servings of mutton noodles and two servings of mutton dumplings, all in large portions."
The lady boss kindly reminded, "The portions in our restaurant are quite large. A young couple like you can only finish one mutton hotpot and two hotpot dishes at most."
When Xiao Xixi heard this, she hurriedly said.
"So there are hot pot dishes! I want some too. What kind of hot pot dishes do you have? Never mind. It doesn't matter what kind of dishes you have. Give us one portion of each."
Lady boss: “…”
The proprietress had probably never seen a young lady so happy to order food, so she couldn't help but ask a question.
"Can you finish it?"
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "I can definitely finish it!"
The proprietress had no choice but to respond with a subtle expression.
"Wait a moment, both of you. I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare the food for you."
Xiao Xixi urged: "Hurry up, we are all hungry."
The lady boss smiled and agreed, "Okay."
The dishes were served soon.
It was a large table, filled to the brim.
Some dishes could no longer be displayed and had to be placed on the small shelves next to them.
There was a small stove in the middle of the table, and on the stove was a large casserole. The soup inside was constantly boiling, emitting hot steam.
Xiao Xixi couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton from the casserole, coated it with the secret sauce given by the store, and stuffed it into her mouth.
She was so scalded that she kept inhaling, but she was reluctant to exhale, and her expression became quite funny.
Yu Jiu originally had a gloomy face, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upwards and sneered disdainfully.
Tsk, this woman is so stupid.
