Baitao said, and came over to help Hua Xiaogu get dressed: "Young lady didn't tell me earlier, but I was the only one who was kept in the dark and didn't know anything!"
Hua Xiaogu smiled apologetically at Baitao: "It's not that I didn't want to tell you, but you also knew that something was wrong with the situation at that time. If I told you, you would be so scared that those thieves would find out...
I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until Yong'an calls the officials and we will have to explain where he is."
Baitao was also frightened and reached out to pat her chest. She helped Hua Xiaogu put on her clothes. After washing, he helped her sit under the dressing table. Baitao began to comb Hua Xiaogu's hair.
"I don't know where those people came from yesterday. Since they didn't come here for money, what could they do to harm us?" Baitao said sadly while combing her hair.
"Maybe he wants to chop us up and use them as meat fillings to make human meat buns... Hiss!" Hua Xiaogu said, feeling his scalp tighten.
Baitao hurriedly took away the comb: "Girl, don't scare me! Look... I've lost several hairs..."
"Haha, it's my fault..."
After cleaning up, Hua Xiaogu and Baitao walked out. In the hall not far away, Tian Lanqing was talking to the local official. Turning a corner, Hua Xiaogu saw his hands behind his back and was listening to the official talk.
Tian Lanqing's back.
"This is the portrait found from those thieves." The official took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Tian Lanqing. Tian Lu immediately took them and kept them in his arms.
"Thank you, sir, for your timely rescue. Tian is very grateful." Tian Lanqing bowed her hands to the officials, said a few more polite words, and sent them out.
Hua Xiaogu came up to him and patted Tianlu on the shoulder: "Show me the portrait."
Tianlu was startled, and when he turned his head, he realized it was Hua Xiaogu. He took a deep breath and handed the portrait to Hua Xiaogu: "Girl, don't be scary, I haven't calmed down yet!"
Hua Xiaogu smiled and shook her head, then unfolded the portrait in her hand and looked at it carefully. Only her and Tian Lanqing's appearance were in the portrait, which was lifelike and easy to recognize.
"I'm afraid we have to be more careful about our next trip." Tian Lanqing walked back and said.
Hua Xiaogu nodded, and they all walked towards the door together. Across a screen, Yongan was helping to put breakfast on the table.
"This small place is really simple, young master, please don't dislike it." The old shopkeeper walked out with a smile and saluted Tian Lanqing: "I have sent someone to inform shopkeeper Liu in the next county, and I will send someone to escort him when the time comes.
When the eldest young master leaves this county, he will be greeted by shopkeeper Liu in the next county."
Tian Lanqing nodded and thanked the old shopkeeper.
The group of people sat at the table and started eating breakfast.
Yong'an loves food the most, and he is in the best mood among the group at the moment. He is sitting at the table and has already devoured a bun in two or three mouthfuls.
After eating one bun, Yong'an seemed to feel that his brain was functioning properly. He stretched out his hand to grab another bun, looked up at Hua Xiaogu and asked, "By the way, how did you find out that something was wrong with that group of people yesterday?"
Hua Xiaogu took a sip of porridge and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "Didn't you pay attention?"
"What to look out for?"
"That inn is so weird! There are only five of us staying in such a big inn." Hua Xiaogu stretched out his index finger and tapped the table, staring at Yong'an: "And those guys!"
