Xia Xiaoran left Qingshan County for more than 20 days, but everything seemed to have changed. Xia Xiaoran returned a gift, "Mr. mu, long time no see." Maybe you didn't expect me to come back.
Zhou Han can't deal with these scholars. He tells Xia Xiaoran in his ear that he pulls the carriage around the corner to tie the horse.
"To tell you the truth, minnv has something to ask for this time." Xia Xiaoran frowns. Muyun blocks himself in front of the door but doesn't let him in. This is the meaning of tying a horse. Xia Xiaoran has just come back from the palace and is a meritorious official to cure the Ming imperial concubine. Even if they don't treat themselves as guests of honor, can they not see themselves in the eye.
Xia Xiaoran's eyes narrowed. If I don't let myself see the big belly today, I'll prick his stomach through another day.
"Don't be angry, girl." Muyun is such a smart person. Seeing Xia Xiaoran's posture, you can see that her current status is different from what she used to be. You can't offend her. "It's not that I don't let you see adults. It's really that adults are busy with business and can't get away."
"What are you so busy that you don't even have the time to meet?" Muyun's argument is too much like a rebuff. Xia Xiaoran is impatient. He grabs each other's skirt and threatens: "let me see him now, or I'll burn here."
Xia Xiaoran's expression is too frightening, Muyun was forced by her too urgent, had to tell the truth, "adult, he went to the village outside the city plague outbreak exploration."
Investigation, this is not to see him. Xia Xiaoran couldn't wait, and his strength suddenly increased, "can you give me a document to go out of the city?"
"What are you doing out of town?" Now is a sensitive period, Muyun a master also can't do master, can only first stabilize Xia Xiaoran, "now outside is dangerous, why must the girl go out of the city?"
"There's a lot of rubbish." Xia Xiaoran furious, "do you still care about others want to die?"
Mu Yungang just wanted to export the admonishment words all blocked in his throat.
When Zhou Han tied up the horse and came back, Xia Xiaoran had done everything well. With the document of leaving the city, Xia Xiaoran's face was still uncertain.
"Are we going out of town today?" Zhou Han took over the documents handed over by Xia Xiaoran and carefully stuffed them into his arms.
Looking at the sun in the sky, Xia Xiaoran thought for a while and said, "don't go out of the city first. Now you don't have a place to live. Find a place to live and start early tomorrow morning."
Unconsciously rubbing his thumb, Xia Xiaoran thinks a lot. At this time, it will be dark in less than a moment when he is out of the city. It's not appropriate to sleep on the street or at the villagers' home. Maybe he and silly big one will break in before he finds Huang Lingxue's parents.
Zhou Han nods and takes Xia Xiaoran to a small restaurant. Looking at Xia Xiaoran's puzzled expression, he explains: "it's closest to the city gate. It's good to go out of the city early tomorrow. The conditions here are poor. I'll give you some hot water to wash."
"Well." Xia Xiaoran walks into the restaurant. It's really simple. It's two floors up and down. There are more than ten tables under it to sell food. There are more than ten small rooms on it. There are only two boys and a boss.
Regardless of dislike, Xia Xiaoran pulled a little guy who walked by him, "open two rooms."
The cyan cloth boy who is held looks at Xia Xiaoran suspiciously, and then turns his eyes to the boss who is checking accounts in the counter.
There are not many people in the shop, only a few people are eating and drinking on the first floor. Xia Xiaoran's voice is not small, which suddenly attracts the boss's attention.
The fat body squeezed out from the narrow gap between the counter and the wine rack. The fat faced boss appeared in front of Xia Xiaoran and Zhou Han, "do you want to stay?" Waving his hand, the strange looking boy took the kettle and left.
Xia Xiaoran coldly looked at the person in front of him, and asked in a very bad tone: "are you here a black shop, not for people to live?"
"Oh, girl, you can't talk nonsense." Listen to Xia Xiaoran a black shop, the boss is also anxious, this word out is to damage the reputation of his shop, "what black shop is not black shop, nothing."
"Then you're so grumpy when you live in a shop." Last time Zhou Han went to Wangjing to see Xia Xiaoran, he once lived here. At that time, he was still normal. In less than a month, everyone here became strange. As if he had cheated Xia Xiaoran, Zhou Han's black face was heavier.
The store owner was about to cry, and these two people always didn't let others make it clear, "to tell you the truth, it's not that there are many rules in my store, but that they are afraid that they are from outside the city, and the small ones can't bear the responsibility."
Two people look at each other, Xia Xiaoran first said: "the shop is at ease, we don't come in from outside, and we don't have plague. The city is so strict, how can anyone come in." Zhou Han, one of the fish caught in the net, takes a look at Xia Xiaoran.
The boss was asked by Xia Xiaoran's words. It seems that after martial law, no one from outside came in. His shop is too close to the gate of the city. His business depends on people coming and going to take care of him. Once martial law is enforced, the flow of people is cut off. His business is greatly affected, but life is better than anything else.
After stamping his feet, the boss gritted his teeth and said, "it's my fault. Please go upstairs."
In order to express his apology, the boss carries a lantern to open the way for Xia Xiaoran and Zhou Han. When he reaches the half of the stairs, Xia Xiaoran leisurely says, "why is there no light upstairs? Is it really a black shop?" Xia Xiaoran's words are just teasing. After all, she still believes in Zhou Han's choice“ Oh, my aunt, can you stop talking about it? " The boss stopped and wiped the sweat on his head. "It's not the plague. Although our shop is not big, it's also close to the official road. There are more than ten orders of business every day. Since the beginning of the plague, the shop hasn't received any business in ten days. That's why I just did this to you. Don't blame me. " Very keen to seize a keyword, Xia Xiaoran a pull in front of his boss's robe, "you say the plague has broken out for ten days?" What is the concept of ten days? Generally, a city with hundreds of thousands of people can be slaughtered in five days by a comprehensive outbreak of plague. Xia Xiaoran raised his hand to cover his pale face, and constantly enlightened himself in his heart. In case it was not a severe infectious disease, once the ancient infectious disease was called plague. It's only in densely populated areas that serious epidemics are likely to break out, but it's not necessarily bad as you imagine that it's so remote outside Qingshan county. These complicated ideas flash like lightning in Xia Xiaoran's mind. Zhou Han behind her sees that the boss has just said these words. Xia Xiaoran is crooked and wants to fall downstairs. Hastily step forward, embrace Xia Xiaoran slender waist, Zhou Han face than Xia Xiaoran even white on a few points, quickly asked: "Ling Xue, you are OK." I don't know if it's my own illusion. Zhou Han just saw a trace of despair in Xia Xiaoran's eyes. Xia Xiaoran thought a lot and didn't prove that she could be open-minded. She didn't notice Zhou Han's hand on his waist. She asked the boss on one side, "has no one been in charge of the epidemic since it has been so long?" The powerlessness in a mouth voice frightens Xia Xiaoran.
