The carriage stopped at an inn in the town about ten miles away from the ferry. The carriage went directly into the backyard through the side door before letting Ruyi get off.
The person who came to hold the horse was not the inn boy, but the young man's entourage.
The young man took Ruyi directly to the guest room at Tianzihao: "Little brother, you are going with..." Before he could finish his words, a follower next to him coughed twice.
Glancing at the entourage, the young man paused and said, "Brother, please stay in one room with them tonight. The three rooms connected here have been reserved, so you can rest assured.
Calm your mind and think about it slowly. Do you need me to help you contact your home? Or, how do you get out of here?
Of course, I can also book another room for you, but the business of this inn is very good, and I don’t know if there are any available rooms in Dihao and Renzihao.”
"Master, this subordinate knows that both the Dihao and Renzihao guest rooms are full, and there are still a few bunks over there." Another attendant said.
When Ruyi heard that she wanted to share a room with a man, and if she wanted to have a separate room, she didn't have a problem with it. She didn't mind if it was a common room, but generally it was men who lived in a common room.
Seeing her frowning slightly, the young man smiled and said, "Otherwise, my little brother will live with you in the same room?"
Ahem, the previous follower coughed again.
The young man glanced at the entourage with a somewhat displeased expression, then looked at Ruyi and said: "This sky-sized guest room has two rooms, one large and one small. The small one here is empty."
Upon hearing this, Ruyi looked at the attendants on both sides. She was not stupid, so she could naturally see that his subordinates did not want her to live with their master.
She didn't want to either, but she couldn't help it.
"I'm just going to bother you for one night, and I'll leave tomorrow." Ruyi said very embarrassedly, but in fact, he was also telling the follower.
The young man smiled and motioned for her to follow him into the middle guest room.
After entering the house, the young man pointed to the room next to him. Ruyi looked over and saw a door, and he felt relieved again.
"Then I'll rest first." Ruyi said with gratitude.
The young man nodded, and before she closed the door, he remembered to say: "Should I order someone to call the waiter to bring hot water for bathing?"
"No, no, thank you, sir." Ruyi hurriedly refused, thanked him again, and closed the door.
The young man frowned slightly, wondering if he had a habit of cutting off his sleeves? Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of the door bolt being inserted in the door. The sound was actually not loud, and it seemed that the door bolt was inserted.
People are cautious.
He smiled helplessly. When he came out this time, he originally thought it was quite boring, but he didn't expect that when he encountered such a thing, the person who helped him was quite interesting.
In the small room, Ruyi locked the door bolt, walked to the bed with heavy legs, took off her shoes and sat on it, bent her knees and hugged her legs, arched her body and rested her chin on her knees.
Thinking about the scenes I have experienced in the past few days, I still feel scared. I also think about my mother-in-law and two brothers, and I don’t know how worried I am about her, so tears fall down.
Ever since I was little, I have never been separated from my mother.
She knew it was not the time to shed tears, nor should she cry, but she just couldn't control herself.
About an hour later, there was a gentle knock on the door: "Little brother, are you hungry? Come out and eat something."
Ruyi wanted to say thank you, but she was not hungry and would not eat. However, she had not eaten enough in the past few days after being kidnapped. No matter how uncomfortable the feeling of hunger was, it was not as bad as her homesickness.
But even though I have escaped now, if I want to return home to my parents and brothers, I need to use my brains as well as my strength.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment." Ruyi responded and wiped the tears on his face. He was not worried about the impact of the tears on the sebum mask on his face for the time being.
I got up and put on my shoes, and wanted to wash my face before going out, only to find that there was no one to wash my hands in the room.
No matter, let's do it.
When the door was opened, the young man had already sat at the table near the window in the hall.
Ruyi came forward and sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
The young man had already seen her red eyes, but he pretended not to see her and did not say anything to comfort her.
"If you want to replenish your strength, it's no use just eating white rice. You have to eat more meat." The young man said, picking up a large piece of braised beef, stood up and put it in Ruyi's bowl.
"Thank you." Ruyi lowered his head and continued eating.
I just ate the beef in the bowl, and there were peeled shrimps, meatballs, and fish belly without bones.
"Don't dislike it. I have no use for these chopsticks. They are clean." The young man said again.
The young man himself could not understand that since he was a child, others had taken care of him and served him.
What's wrong with him today? Looking at this young man, he can't help but take care of him?
Ruyi wanted to raise her head and say thank you and that there was no need to clamp it, but she couldn't say it and her tears fell uncontrollably.
"Don't be sad. As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Little brother, you are a lucky person at first glance. You just think that the previous one was a small disaster. Now that it is over, everything will be smooth in the future.
Don't worry about going home. Don't worry, I will escort you back tomorrow morning." The young man is not good at taking care of people, let alone comforting people.
After hearing the words, Ruyi raised her head and looked at him, choking and saying, "But those people are said to be powerful killers."
"A powerful killer? Little brother, don't underestimate me. I'm not a vegetarian, and my subordinates are also very powerful. Don't worry about whether I will be implicated or not.
After you finish eating, you can rest early and rest peacefully. Since I helped you, I definitely didn’t help you half way, and I will definitely send you home safely." The young man looked at the young man opposite him who couldn't help but care for him, and he was very surprised.
Said firmly.
Ruyi nodded, wiped away her tears with her sleeves, and ate heartily.
The young man looked at it and murmured in his heart, how come he still feels delicate when he eats like this?
Ruyi put down his bowl and chopsticks when he was full, and felt a little embarrassed when he raised his head again.
The young man called his men to come in and clean up, and ordered someone to prepare hot water for washing and send it to Ruyi's room.
The men who brought water came and went, and they all glanced at Ruyi deliberately, with scrutiny and warning in their eyes. Ruyi still pretended not to notice, closed the door, took off the sebum mask on his face, and washed his face.
She soaked her feet in hot water again, thinking about the young man escorting her home, although she could also see that the aura of the young man and his men was the same as that of her elder brother and the soldiers in his military camp.
However, I still couldn't help but worry, fearing that I might injure them, get injured or lose their lives.
She asked herself, is this too selfish?
Another point is that until now, she has not told the other party her identity, nor has she asked who or where he is from.
Tomorrow morning, even if they don't ask, I have to take the initiative to tell her. Otherwise, how will they know where to escort her?
