Manbao opened her eyes and took a long time to react before hearing that it was Keke calling her in her mind.
She didn't get up for a while, but moved her hands and feet to wake her body up from a deep sleep, and then lifted up the quilt.
Her eyes also adapted to the darkness, and she could vaguely see the furnishings in the room. She got out of bed, walked to the window in the dark, opened it slightly and looked down.
Below, more than twenty horses were lined up at the door. Under the dim light, she saw the group of people carrying their baggage and going out one after another this afternoon, and they directly mounted their horses.
The shopkeeper, who had only met twice, walked people to the door, bowed his hands and said goodbye to them with a smile.
The leader took over the horse and suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked over with lightning eyes. Manbao leaned back subconsciously. Keke saw her heartbeat speeding up and couldn't help but said: "Host, I'm not looking at you."
After a pause, he felt that this description was not very accurate, so he said: "According to the angle of light refraction, his eyes only glanced here, and now he is looking at the window next door."
When Man Bao heard this, he leaned up to look up again, and saw that he was still looking up. Under the firelight, he smiled slightly and hugged his hands directly. If Keke hadn't said it, she would have almost doubted this gift.
Do it for yourself.
Man Bao's heart moved and he asked, "Bai Shan is also awake?"
Keke responded and said, "He even opened the window."
Bai Shan did not sleep very peacefully. Although the movement below was light, he was still awakened.
At first, he opened the window slightly and looked down through the crack, but the other party noticed him and looked up.
Bai Shan did not evade, and looked at the other person through the crack in the door for a long time. After making sure that he could really detect his gaze, he opened the window openly and looked at the other person.
Bai Shan paused for a moment and then smiled. He hugged his hands and returned the greeting. After he led his men to leave the inn and go into the distance, the smile on Bai Shan's face fell. He pondered for a moment and then poked his head towards
I took a quick look, saw the innkeeper, nodded to him, and finally closed the window and went back to sleep.
Bai Erlang was still sleeping in bed without knowing anyone else. He was not even woken up by Yin Hui. He was lying on a wooden couch with his quilt in his arms, sleeping soundly.
He sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while. After gathering himself, he lifted the quilt and lay down.
Manbao also closed the window tightly and went back to bed to lie down.
Because she didn't sleep enough, she felt like she couldn't open her eyes, and the frightened wakefulness disappeared without a trace.
Man Bao yawned and asked, "Koko, how long until dawn?"
"About fifty minutes."
Man Bao was surprised and forgot about his sleepiness, "So fast?"
Keke said: "It's dawn at four forty-five."
Man Bao suddenly felt that sleeping was not good. It was getting up so early and he didn't feel like he had slept at all.
However, after a moment of silence, she pulled the quilt to her chest, hugged her and fell asleep again.
Manbao fell asleep with heavy eyelids. When he woke up again, he was pushed awake by Zhou Liru. She was a little excited and said, "Sister-in-law, get up quickly and watch the sunrise."
Man Bao got up hard and asked, "Are they all up?"
"I woke up early. Mr. Zhuang and Wei Xingren went out to watch the sunrise. I was awakened by the movement below."
Mr. Zhuang was very interesting. Originally, he wanted to call a few of his disciples, but thinking that they had been on the road for the past two days, it was not easy. It was rare for them to sleep so well, so he did not call them. Instead, he went with the two equally interested people.
Go out together with a pedestrian.
When Man Bao washed up and got dressed and went downstairs, Yin and the others were sitting downstairs. Seeing her coming down, Yin looked at her and then at Bai Shan who was sitting with his head down and dozing off. He couldn't help but wonder.
"Did you have a private meeting last night?"
Bai Erlang and Liu Huan, who were leaning at the door of the inn to admire the morning glow on the horizon, immediately turned back to look at them with interest on their faces.
Bai Shan raised his eyelids and glanced at them before saying, "Yes, I had a secret meeting in my dream, and I brought a few of you with me. Does that count?"
Yin You smiled and raised his hand to pour a glass of warm water for Man Bao, "I slept well last night. They were also very energetic this morning. It's just the two of you. Not to mention a little lethargic, and there's a little hair under the eyelids."
green."
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao and asked, "Were you awake in the early hours of the morning?"
Manbao nodded.
Bai Shan then said to Yin You: "Another group of guests in the inn left in the early morning."
Yin or surprised.
Man Bao also walked to the door to watch the morning glow with Zhou Liru and the others. The sky in the desert was very blue. Even in the morning, there were not many clouds in the sky. The only few clouds were still in the distant horizon. As soon as the sun came out, those clouds were reflected
It turned orange, as if being blown by the wind. The clouds on the horizon slowly changed their shapes, and each one was particularly beautiful.
Bai Shan and Yin You didn't know when they came over. They sat down on the threshold and stared blankly. In the end, Manbao and the others sat down when they were tired of standing.
When Nie Canjun came over after checking the luggage, carriages and horses, what he saw was a scene of six people sitting on the threshold together with their faces folded and looking into the distance.
Nie Canjun:......
The shopkeeper who followed him with a smile couldn't help but pause, then thought of something, and immediately crossed over to greet him, "Oh, why are the guests sitting here? What if you catch a cold? Our inn has fresh hot milk tea today.
, would you like some guests to have a bowl?"
Thinking of the bowl of milk tea they had yesterday and the unit price when they paid the bill, they all shook their heads. Forget it, just try that expensive and not delicious thing once, and don't try it a second time.
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed and could only give them directions, "There are tables and chairs over there in the greenhouse. The location is not bad. Young ladies, why not go there and sit and watch."
But the six of them didn't want to move, "I still think it's good here."
"I feel comfortable here too."
“The view is also good.”
"I'm too lazy to move."
"I'm hungry and don't want to move."
"They don't want to move and neither do I."
Shopkeeper: "...The kitchen is already preparing breakfast. It will be ready in a short time. Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment. You, you can take a look if you want."
Anyway, most of their guests only come here at noon and afternoon, and now they are the only guests in the inn.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to go around them and go in.
Man Bao and the others continued to look at the scenery with their faces raised. Mr. Zhuang and the others climbed to the sand dune under the protection of the guards. After admiring the sunrise, they came back for a slow walk and saw the six of them sitting on the threshold.
I couldn't help but ask: "Is the sunrise beautiful?"
The six people nodded together, "It looks good."
"Okay, wake up early tomorrow and let's watch it again together."
Man Bao and others: ...I don’t know if it’s too late to regret now.
Everyone gathered in the lobby to have breakfast. After finishing the breakfast, we also packed some steamed buns and sesame seed cakes before setting off to leave.
They had only left the inn a few hundred meters when Nie Canjun rode up to catch up with Bai Shan and Zhou Man in front of them, and said to Bai Shan: "I asked this morning, and the shopkeeper said he didn't know who those people were, but they are not the same as us.
They are going the opposite way, they are going the way we came."
Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to show that he understood.
