Rune

Chapter 24
On the second day, the caravan moved forward as usual, with hundreds of people in a mighty formation. Presumably, along the way, there would not be any blind thieves who would dare to attack this kind of team.

The farther you are from Yucheng, the smaller the wind and sand is. It's only been three days' journey, and the green grass under your feet has become denser. The wheels have run over it, and the greenness is dyed on it. The air seems to have some grass fragrance. Xu Baiyan was still sitting at the back of the grain cart, his body swayed slightly with the cart, but beside him, there was a little girl who gave him a headache.

This little girl is very cute, and she even has a kind of beauty beyond her age group. Last night, I just saw her under the moonlight, but today I looked at her in the light, and it turned out to be even more beautiful than last night.

Although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his movements and movements are extremely pure and elegant. Xu Baiyan rarely sees the daughters of wealthy families in Yucheng, but he can guarantee that no matter in terms of posture, behavior, sitting, standing, In any case, those so-called "ladies of all ages" can't compare with this little girl.The cuteness of a child and the dignity of a nobleman, two completely different feelings appear on the same person, no matter who they are, they can't help but look twice.

However... such a beautiful little girl still gave Xu Baiyan a headache.

Because this girl doesn't speak!

The other party has been by Xu Baiyan's side since she got up in the morning, asking her nothing, just looking at everything around her with good-looking eyes, as if she was very curious about these things, but there was no answer in her eyes. Some look.

Don't know the name, and don't know where she came from.The only woman Xu Baiyan had contact with in Yucheng was his teacher, and although his classmates such as Senior Sister Xie had been together for five years, they only communicated occasionally during class.

Now that there is such an extra person beside him, he feels a little uncomfortable.

So when the caravan was being repaired, Xu Baiyan decided to take her around to see if anyone had lost their child.

But people around have asked, and everyone just looked at this child a few more times because of her beauty, but no one has ever seen this girl.

In desperation, he could only try to move further in front of the caravan, but what made him even more depressed was that the little girl actually started to sleep at this time!

Yes, she just fell asleep suddenly without any warning. One second she was walking, and the next second she directly lay on Xu Baiyan's body regardless of the difference between men and women.

From that soft sound, one could even feel that she was sleeping soundly and soundly.

Xu Baiyan didn't know what was going on with the child, so he could only sigh. He had no choice but to carry the little girl back to the food truck first, and decided to wait until the other party woke up before making any plans.

Unexpectedly, this sleep lasted for a whole day. He sat on the back beam of the car, and the little girl without a name leaned on his shoulder without any scruples. The two of them followed the car forward, at the same pace. dangling.It wasn't until dinnertime in the evening that the convoy stopped to rest, and the smell of some food wafted from a distance, and the girl finally woke up leisurely.

"Hungry?" Xu Baiyan looked at the other party, angrily and amusedly asked.

The girl didn't speak, but her empty eyes finally regained some light. She stared blankly at the direction of the scent, almost drooling.

Xu Baiyan felt a little strange, because a girl with this kind of temperament was obviously a daughter of a wealthy family. She had never seen such delicacies before, so how could she be attracted by this ordinary smell of food, but thinking about it from last night until now, The girl didn't eat at all, and Xu Baiyan didn't know how long she hadn't eaten before, so she felt helpless
".Wait for me here for a while, I'll be right there!"

He said, jumped out of the carriage, and ran towards the dining car.

There are dining cars in large caravans, and there are more than a dozen dining cars in such a huge caravan with hundreds of people. Every time these people repair, they will quickly set up the stove, and then use the last Making a few large pots at a fast speed is not considered fresh, but it is a food with a lot of seasoning.

There is no rule of queuing here, so Xu Baiyan also squeezed through the crowd and served a meal for two.

Today's dinner is as simple as ever, with cabbage, potatoes, and firmly pressed steamed buns. Fortunately, there are enough peppers and enough soup, so it tastes very refreshing.

Holding a large bowl of cabbage soup, Xu Baiyan returned to his original position, and the little girl stood there obediently, without moving.

"Okay, let's serve dinner." Xu Baiyan suddenly felt that the other party was very cute at this moment, put the vegetable soup on a roadside stone, squatted beside him, and handed the little girl a spoon and a steamed bun.

However, the girl didn't take it, she just stared at the oil and chili seeds in the bowl without blinking.

"What? You must be hungry, right?" Xu Baiyan shook the spoon again in doubt.

The girl still didn't speak.

Xu Baiyan frowned: "I know you must be very hungry now, and this vegetable soup is not poisonous, so hurry up and eat some, don't let me worry about you."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. Originally, he didn't want to use the word 'worry', because it would appear too close, but this girl is really too worrying.

Can't speak, the whole person looks confused, and has no sense of security. He dares to sleep next to strangers. He looks so cute. If he is met by someone with bad intentions, he will definitely be kidnapped. .

When Xu Baiyan said this, his eyes kept staring at the other party, probably because his eyes always gave people an inexplicable sense of sincerity, the girl hesitated for a while, finally nodded, and then took the spoon. Nice Holding the handle of the spoon with his fingers, he put it into the soup with some inexperience, filled it up a little, and then brought it close to his mouth.
"." There was an unexpected sucking sound, and she put the vegetable soup in the spoon between her lips in a very "dignified" posture, and slowly sipped it.

this moment.
Xu Baiyan could clearly feel that those eyes that had been empty and lifeless trembled slightly.

The girl stared blankly at the spoon in her hand, then turned her gaze to Xu Baiyan, with her lips slightly parted, as if she was not very proficient in uttering two words.
"Delicious."
