"You are a brave little girl." Said the innkeeper.
Xia Yi pulled the corner of her lips and said, "don't worry, I won't make fun of my life."
The innkeeper has seen all kinds of people, but it is the first time that he has seen Xia Yi like this.
He was silent for a long time, and was finally convinced by Xia Yi.
The innkeeper said, "OK, your name left early in the morning. Take him away. Don't let me see him again. Otherwise I will send him to the inn
This is the biggest concession he can make.
Xia Yi nodded to the innkeeper and said, "thank you, innkeeper."
The innkeeper waved and said, "look at the face of scallion cake."
Then he walked away, unwilling to stay in the same room with the little boy for another second.
The reason why Xia Yi has this courage is not totally unreasonable.
Look at the ashes in the hotel room, the room should be empty for a long time, at least for more than ten days, or more.
It shows that Lubei city has been in this state for some time.
The runaway of Lunan people to Lubei city should be before the empty city.
Combined with the little boy's dress, his body is dirty and greasy. It is estimated that he has been hiding in this kitchen for some time.
Just now when Xia Yi tied up the little boy, she didn't find any epidemic symptoms on him.
Soon after Xiao Linmu came to Lunan, he was found to have symptoms of epidemic disease, indicating that the incubation period of epidemic disease was not long.
Xia Yi also infers from this that the little boy is not infected with the disease.
Lubei city is so close to Lunan, so the innkeeper naturally knows something about the epidemic. He can draw the same conclusion as Xia Yi just by thinking a little.
This is also the reason why the innkeeper can easily let the little boy go and promise Xia Yi.
Otherwise, not to mention the face of scallion cake, no one's face will work
After the innkeeper left, Xia Yi turned to the little boy and untied the rope on his wrist.
This time, the little boy did not run away immediately, but looked at Xia Yi in doubt.
All people avoid Lunan people like epidemic disease, but after Xia Yi heard that he was from Lunan, he not only didn't have fear, but also protected him, which made him feel incredibly tight.
Xia Yi took a few pieces of scallion cake from the chopping board and put it into the little boy's hand, saying: "eat first."
The little boy looked up at Xia Yi and looked down at the warm scallion cake in his hand. He was just stunned and ate it.
It seems that he is really hungry. Xiayi's scallion pancakes are not small, but he stops after eating half of them.
Xu is eating too fast, the little boy seems to choke, he gently hung his chest with his fist a few times.
Looking up again, you can see a ladle of water lying in front of you.
The little boy snatched the ladle directly from Xia Yi's hand and drank the milk regardless.
When the little boy put down the ladle, Xia Yicai asked again, "can you tell me now?"
The little boy raised his eyes and stared at Xia Yi for a long time before he spoke slowly and said: "Tianbao..."
"Your name is Tianbao?" Xia Yi asked.
The little boy nodded.
Xia Yi hesitates for a moment and tells Xia Yi about her own affairs.
It turned out that he really came with the large number of runaway lunans.
The officers and soldiers arrested him in the street, and his parents were also arrested by the officers and soldiers. However, he took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the inn with his own strength.
He hid in the inn for so many days that he couldn't even remember.
Usually, he hides in the cabinet under the chopping board, and only when he is hungry will he come out to find something to eat.
It happens that the kitchen of the inn is never short of food.
But he did not dare to take too much every time for fear that he would be found by the innkeeper.
Fortunately, the innkeeper didn't pay attention to the kitchen, and the cabinet under the chopping board was just a pile of sundries, so he stayed in the kitchen so that he was not found.
If it wasn't for Xia Yi's delicious scallion cake and his hunger, Xia Yi might not have found him.
Xia Yi quietly heard everything Tianbao said, and then asked: "I'm afraid the inn can't stay any longer. What are you going to do?"
Tianbao's eyes were burning and he immediately said, "where are you going? Where are I going..."
Xia Yi chuckled and said, "you don't necessarily want to go where I want to go."
"Where are you going?" Tianbao looks at Xia Yi and asks.
"Lunan." Xia Yi replied.
When Yuanbao heard the word Lunan, he shrank back subconsciously.
Xia Yi said: "you don't have to be afraid. Originally, I didn't plan to let you go with me. There is still one night before the time required by the innkeeper. Don't worry. You can slowly think about where you are going."
Tianbao stopped talking.
Xia Yi gets up to clean up the kitchen.
After everything is sorted out, Xia Yi divides the scallion cake on the chopping board into three equal parts.
One of them was packed directly in the kitchen basket, while the remaining two were packed in two different packages.
Xia Yi handed one of them to Tianbao, "here, this is your dry food. Take it well, it should be enough for you to eat for several days."
Tianbao hesitated and picked up the package.
Xia Yi thought about it, and then took out some small pieces of silver to put it into Tianbao's hand, "you also have this money, not much, enough to buy some steamed bread."
Tianbao didn't expect that Xia Yi really wanted to let him go and gave him money
He stared at the small silver coins in his hand. For a moment, he was at a loss. He didn't know whether to take it or not. He just held the hand rigidly, holding the small silver coins in his palm.
"Take it. There's only so much I can help you. Tomorrow morning we'll go our separate ways. As for the future... It's up to you." Xia Yi said.
"But before I leave, I still have some questions for you. Can you tell me something about Lunan?"
Tianbao shook his hand and nodded gently.
From Tianbao's mouth, Xia Yi learned more about Lunan and the epidemic.
Lunan is now under martial law. People outside the city can't get in and people inside the city can't get out.
The epidemic is fierce. In order to save more people, the government can only take such measures.
However, in the eyes of Lunan people, such behavior of the government is undoubtedly abandoning their lives.
When Tianbao talked about this, he clenched his fist tightly.
Xia Yi said: "how can it be abandoned? If you really give up, how can you specially send King Mu to come here? "
"King Mu?" Tianbao tilts his head and looks at Xia Yi. It's obvious that he doesn't know about Xiao Linmu's coming to Lunan.
After all, Xiao Linmu came to Lunan after Tianbao escaped from Lunan.
"What you said is true?" Tianbao can't wait to ask, "will King Mu save my parents?"
Xia Yi gently shakes her head and says, "I can't guarantee it."
A little light from Tianbao's eyes went out in an instant.
Xia Yi then said, "he came to Lunan just for the sake of the epidemic. I think... He will try his best to save the people he can save."
