Xiaoyu finally asked someone to send a letter home, and then she hurried back. However, she couldn't find Xiaoyu anywhere. Just when she was getting anxious, Xiaoyu came out from the back door.
"Xiao Yu, I will go to Luozhou with the second young master Yan later. Please take good care of the two treasures for me. I will leave the housework to you." Xiao Yu spoke while walking quickly.
"Are we going now?" Xiaoyu hadn't reacted yet.
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, the journey is long, I have to prepare some things."
It seems that Xiaoyu has decided to go. Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "We need to buy two sets of clothes, some food, and a few handkerchiefs. We may not have enough money. Let's borrow some from Master Ma and return it to him when we get home."
The two men took out all the silver they had on them, a total of three taels of silver.
Xiaoyu went to borrow money and Xiaoyu went to buy things.
The price of ready-made clothes in the cloth shop was too expensive, so Xiaoyu simply bought half a piece of cloth and asked the shop owner to give her a bunch of thread and two needles. After all, the journey was so long, so she might as well make herself some spare clothes and a handkerchief.
I bought a few more cakes and steamed buns to eat on the way, and that was enough. Thinking about how I was half dying of thirst just now, I gritted my teeth and bought a big water bag, and filled it up from the shopkeeper.
The two agreed to meet at the back door of the county government office. Xiaoyu took the 20 copper coins she had borrowed and said helplessly, "I miscalculated. Master Ma didn't bring so much money with him."
Xiaoyu comforted him, "It's okay, as long as you don't waste the money, it will be enough."
Xiaoyu took off the iron hairpin on her head and the silver ring on her hand and said, "Take this with you, just in case."
Xiaoyu didn't refuse. There was not enough time and they didn't prepare anything for this trip, so it would be good to be able to take something with them.
After receiving the things, a carriage arrived at the back door of the county government office.
"Xiaoyu, I'll leave the household to you." Xiaoyu urged again and again.
Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, and her nose suddenly felt sore.
If something really happened to Sister Song, what would happen to Xiaoyu, who was far away in Luozhou? She also wanted to go with her, but she would be worried about leaving the two treasures at home, not to mention Xiaoyu.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu. Nothing will happen at home with me here." Xiaoyu said, holding Xiaoyu's hand.
Xiaoqing waved her hand, Xiaoyu nodded and ran over.
The carriage was a bit old, and there were three people accompanying it.
In the carriage, Xiaoyu and Yan Yujiu each had their own thoughts. Xiaoyu lowered her head and prayed to all the Bodhisattvas to bless her sister. She was willing to exchange her own health and happiness for her sister's safety.
Until the next day, Yan Yujiu was a little tired of sitting, so he leaned back in the chair and watched Xiaoyu sewing clothes quietly.
On the way, Xiaoqing's jacket was accidentally scratched, and Xiaoyu asked him if he wanted help to mend it.
"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Song." Xiaoqing handed the torn coat to Xiaoyu.
I can't wear torn clothes in front of my master, so it would be a pity to just throw them away. I quite like this coat.
There is a tear at the bottom of the clothes. You can just sew it up or make it into an opening.
Xiaoyu searched for a long time in the basket but couldn't find the same color thread. If she used different colors of thread to sew, there would always be traces left.
Yan Yujiu on the opposite side seemed to see her difficulty and sat there leaning back without saying a word.
Xiaoyu put the thread basket aside and instead took out a few thin threads from the remaining material inside the clothes. After solving the problem of cotton thread, she started to sew.
The cut was big, Xiaoyu lowered her head and sewed it carefully bit by bit.
It was not until the sun was about to set that Xiaoyu rubbed her neck and raised her head, only to be met with a pair of nonchalant peach blossom eyes.
The two of them sat in the same carriage for two days without talking much, and suddenly they felt a little awkward. Xiaoyu nodded, then lifted the curtain to check the repaired coat.
Suddenly, the curtains were lifted. Yan Yujiu used his folding fan to lift the curtains. He glanced at Xiaoqing's coat and said, "Just restore it to its original state?"
"What else?" Xiaoyu folded her clothes.
Yan Yujiu thought for a moment and stretched out his hand, saying, "Let me see."
Xiaoyu handed the clothes over, and saw Yan Yujiu looking at the light through the window for a long time.
"It's boring." Yan Yujiu returned the clothes.
Xiaoyu didn't understand, "It's just mending a piece of clothing, what do you mean by that?"
Yan Yujiu, "..."
After returning the clothes to Xiaoqing, Xiaoyu suddenly felt that what she said just now was a bit too blunt, so she said slowly, "What I mean is, if the clothes can be restored to their original state, why bother adding some self-righteous ingenuity? If it backfires, wouldn't it lose the original intention?"
Yan Yujiu raised his eyes, looked at her and said, "The third brother asked me for an embroidery master, but was it for you?"
"Yes." Xiaoyu replied.
Yan Yujiu sighed heavily, then closed his eyes and remained silent.
Xiaoyu, "..."
A few days later, after arriving at Luozhou, they found a horseman to lead the way and came to Dahe Village.
Several people in the village asked about Song Yuehua and Yan Feng's meeting with the two men.
A middle-aged man said, "There is only one young man named Song who came to the village, and then there came another young man named Yan."
The last name matched, Xiaoyu thought that her elder sister had changed her clothes before going out, and asked hurriedly, "Uncle, do you know where the two of them went?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Since the two said they were going into the mountains to kill the tiger, they have never come out again. I'm afraid..."
Xiaoyu felt a chill in her chest and her whole body went numb.
"Which mountain are they going to? Can you show us the way?" Yan Yujiu said.
The middle-aged man said with embarrassment, "It's not safe in the mountains!"
