After walking for a long time, I found Ying Ning eating glutinous rice balls at a roadside stall.
"The food in the inn is indeed not to your liking." Bai Shaoshu tried his best to smile naturally: "Shopkeeper, let me have a bowl of glutinous rice balls."
Ying Ning glanced at him lightly: "You are not used to the food in the inn, and the food here may not be to your liking."
Bai Shaoshu laughed dryly and said: "It's good to change the taste occasionally."
Ying Ning said "hmm" and was not interested in continuing to speak. Bai Shaoshu looked at her silent face and considered the words for a long time before speaking: "Ah Ning, Ling'er sometimes speaks outright, so don't take it to heart.
"
Ying Ning froze slightly for a moment, then quickly regained her composure: "You should call me Madam, and our sister's name is Xiao Cuilan."
Her face was calm, but Bai Shaoshu's words reminded her of another person.
If it was Bai Liyu, he would never say anything to tell her not to take it to heart. She knew that those words were hurtful, but she still told the victim not to take it to heart.
Bai Shaoshu couldn't help but smile.
Call her my wife...
She said this, and she probably didn't care about what Ling'er said.
Thinking about it, Ling'er was unintentional and she was his sister. How could she care about this? He was too nervous.
"Madam, we..." Bai Shaoshu was a little confused, but before he finished speaking, his breath suddenly stopped.
When Ying Ning raised her head suspiciously, he had returned to normal with a smile: "When will we go back?"
His finger pointed in the direction behind Ying Ning in a subtle way.
Ying Ning silently glanced behind her, and at this glance she saw a person she hated to the core of her bones!
Su Qing! Why did she appear here?
Ying Ning and the others fled all the way and didn't know about Su Qing's arrival in the northwest.
"Leave them alone and leave after eating."
Over there, Su Qing and Rong'er led their horses and walked on the street, looking to see if there was anything they needed on the way.
Suddenly, the little black girl in Su Qing's sleeves thrust hard into her.
"What's wrong, little guy?" Su Qing raised her arm and rubbed the little fur ball under her sleeve.
In order to make it easier for Xiao Hei to nest in her sleeves, she specially made a pocket inside the wide sleeves. Xiao Hei did not scream and kept rubbing Su Qing's arm.
This little guy is often smarter than people. He seems to know that hiding himself is more helpful to Su Qing. Unless he is needed to act as a thug, he never shows his face in front of outsiders.
Su Qing was suspicious and looked around curiously, but found nothing unusual.
She patted Xiao Hei's head, turned to Ronger and said: "There is no need to add anything for the time being, let's hurry up and get on our way."
It wasn't until Su Qing and the others walked away that Bai Shaoshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"They probably didn't notice us." After all, Su Qing was not familiar with them, and they had disguised themselves, so it was normal that they couldn't recognize him.
Ying Ning turned back to the shop owner and said, "Check out."
"What if she finds out but pretends not to recognize us? It's not easy to stay here for a long time, let's leave now!"
Bai Shaoshu didn't think so, but he didn't refute her: "Where are you going?"
"When leaving the country, you just can't take the official road. We'll go over the mountain. I'll buy dry food, and you can call Xiao Cuilan. We'll meet at the gate into the city."
There are also military outposts in the barren mountains. Once discovered, they will be chased and intercepted. It can be said that there is no possibility of leaving alive.
But now Ying Ning couldn't care about so much, she felt very uneasy.
It has to be said that women's intuition is sometimes very accurate.
On Su Qing's side, after disappearing from the sight of the two of them, her expression instantly became serious: "Just now, go over and keep an eye on the man and woman who were eating glutinous rice balls at the roadside stall! Let's meet there."
She pointed to an inn in front of her.
Rong'er didn't know why, but she didn't ask any more questions: "Yes!"
The man ate a glutinous rice ball and chewed it for several seconds before swallowing it. The linen clothes he wore were still patched. He was obviously a poor man.
But how can poor people chew so carefully?
And the woman's back looks particularly like an old friend...
Rong'er had a vague impression of a man and a woman eating glutinous rice balls on the roadside, but when she returned to the place where they were, there was no man and woman anywhere.
It was really alarming to disappear so quickly. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with those two people!
Jumping to the roof, Ronger searched for a while along the way, and soon found a woman buying steamed buns on the roadside.
That's her!
But she searched around and found no trace of the other man.
It seemed that she had also lost track of this woman. Ronger hid her aura and followed quietly. With her tracking ability, the woman was still unable to find her.
...
Su Qing went directly to the inn, ordered a few dishes and took a seat.
At that time, she just randomly picked a place. Unexpectedly, before the food she ordered came, she saw a man hurried upstairs.
What a coincidence, isn't it? Isn't this the man at the roadside stall just now?
The man was in a hurry and didn't notice her. He entered a room and came out again within a moment.
"Brother, that woman made such a fuss, and you actually followed her in the mischief!"
Bai Ling'er had a look of reluctance. She was finally able to rest, but she ran away again without even having enough food!
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll whip you!" Bai Shaoshu didn't have the patience to talk to her anymore and threatened her directly.
Already exhausted, my brother was always bewitched by that woman and would listen to her in everything.
Bai Ling'er felt aggrieved immediately; "Just listen to her in everything. If we leave now, we can only sleep in the wilderness. If you encounter a wild beast, it will be a torment for you. The wild beasts have not been..."
Bai Ling'er's voice stopped suddenly and she looked straight in one direction.
Bai Shaoshu suddenly felt something bad. He followed Bai Ling'er's line of sight and saw Su Qing appearing in the hall at some unknown time, holding a tea cup and smiling at them.
Her smile at this moment is like the gaze of death. She understands everything and can decide life or death in a single thought!
Is it a coincidence that this woman is here, or is she deliberately following him?
When he came back, he had been paying attention to whether he was being followed. How could Su Qing not notice if he was really following him?
No... Su Qing clearly said she was on her way, so she couldn't have gone to an inn to eat!
Bai Shaoshu thought a lot in his mind for a moment. When he came to his senses, he grabbed Bai Ling'er's hand and went back to the house. He jumped out of the window and escaped without hesitation!
Su Qing: "..." Let me go, is she so scary?
This person's judgment was really sharp. He didn't take any chances, turned around and ran away, and his escape speed was as fast as hers.
Su Qing must have slapped the money on the table and immediately went to chase it!
This movement frightened the innkeeper and the waiter.
