Rune

Chapter 25 Lost
"Delicious?" Xu Baiyan was taken aback.

As I said before, this little girl's dress and temperament are definitely not the children of ordinary people. In her eyes, this potato and cabbage soup should be the worst meal.

However, the other party's eyes with novelty and surprise were definitely not faked. So Xu Baiyan could only smile, and made up a set of "Miss Qianjin is tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas, but eats delicious skewers at street stalls" Drama.

"Eat more if it tastes good. At your age, it's time to grow your body." He said and then felt a little embarrassed, why he sounded so like an old woman.

As for this little girl, she was really obedient, and if she was told to eat more, she literally drank the whole bowl of vegetable soup in one bite.

Nothing left!
Xu Baiyan was dumbfounded. Looking at the clean soup bowl, he couldn't imagine how the two words 'dignified and elegant' and 'gobbled' could be combined in such a way.

"You should save some for me."

The girl was silent, she seemed to realize something, she lowered her head slightly.

"Haha, it's okay, as long as you like to eat." Xu Baiyan said generously.

Thinking about the way the other party ate just now, he actually felt a little happy.It felt like feeding a stray cat, inexplicably satisfying.

But when he thought about the fabric of the other party's clothes, it seemed that he was more like a stray cat in comparison.

"So, now can you tell me where your parents are?"

"Parents?" the little girl murmured softly.

Xu Baiyan was startled, this was the first time he heard the other party speak, the voice was very soft and pleasant to hear, in fact, before this, he suspected that the other party might be dumb.

"Parents are your parents, didn't you come out with them?"

"No parents." The girl shook her head and said.

"No parents? Then who did you come out with?"

The girl thought for a while: "Duo'er is not with anyone, Duo'er is alone"

"Ah?" Xu Baiyan was a little surprised: "Alone? Did you follow this caravan for so long? You didn't run away from home, did you?"

"Home?" Duo'er suddenly hesitated, then shook her head again: "Duo'er has no home."

"No home! How is it possible? Then where do you usually live?"

"Wherever Duo'er is needed, Duo'er is there."

"Need you?" Xu Baiyan became more and more confused: "What do you need?"

"draw."

"Draw? Draw what?"

"Draw whatever you need." Duo'er looked at Xu Baiyan and said.

"Uh—————" Xu Baiyan only felt that he had one head and two big heads, and the little girl's brain circuit felt weird.

After finally gaining a little trust from the other party, I started to speak, but I feel that communication is still a bit of a hindrance.

But just because of this, the child can't be left here.

"Then let's do this, you stay with me for the time being, and we'll talk about it when we arrive at Chaodu." In desperation, he could only make such a decision: "By the way, your name is Duo'er?"

"Ah."

"Then what's your last name?"

"Without a surname, Duo'er is Duo'er."

"Hey" Xu Baiyan rubbed his head.

Soon, it was time to recuperate, and the convoy moved forward as usual. Xu Baiyan was having a hard time, but he worked hard to communicate with this strange little girl.

And in this process, in front of the mighty caravan, in a carriage, several businessmen were silently facing a bed in the carriage.

This carriage looks ordinary in appearance, not much different from the surrounding carriages, except that the carriage is bigger.

But if you scrape off the paint on the outside of the car, you can see that every piece of wood that makes the car is worth a fortune.And if someone looks carefully, they can actually find that runes are engraved on every detail of this carriage, which are connected to each other to protect the carriage, and ordinary knives, slashes and arrows can't leave a trace on it at all. .

The interior of the carriage is arranged like a small boudoir for women.But there is no mirror, and there is no rouge and gouache that girls like. Most of the space is occupied by a bed.

The bedding on the bed was naturally the best and most expensive material, but at this time, there was no one on the bed.

The group of businessmen were crowded in the carriage, their expressions extremely solemn.

No one in bed! ! ! !
But this is impossible. Because the child should never wake up.

She should have been asleep until the caravan arrived at Chaodu; moreover, she would have to wait for the talisman master in Chaodu Academy to use specially drawn runes to wake her up.

"What's going on? Could it be that someone took her away?" A person asked suspiciously, with unconcealable panic in his tone.

"Impossible, there are runes all around the car, someone will definitely react if they come in! Besides, there are so many people around us staring at it"

"Unless...she went out by herself"

"That's impossible, how could she wake up until Chaodu Academy?"

"What about the fucking person! Did he disappear out of thin air?!"

Several Qin Jun pretending to be businessmen yelled, their hearts were extremely anxious, if they lost people, ten lives would not be enough for them to die.

It's not just me, what if the little girl is frightened, or suddenly loses control and starts killing people?
Thinking of this, these people couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a tall and thin man walked in.

He is dressed in a typical wealthy businessman's clothes. He seems to be in his 60s, but his skin is very fair, his pores are fine, like a woman who is dedicated to maintenance, and he has no beard, and his whole person looks a bit feminine.

"...you lost that child?" the man said softly, his voice was very thin, without the imposing manner that a man should have.

But with such a simple question, the few people in the carriage were silent!
"Subordinate dereliction of duty"

"I know you're negligent. So I'll give you another hour"

Several Qin soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to wipe off their sweat, let alone think about what the consequences would be if they couldn't find them after an hour.

"Don't forget, the child's whereabouts are a secret. You must try your best to find it, but you must not disturb the other people in the caravan."

"Yes!" Several people said in unison.

It is good to say, but it is really not an easy task for this large caravan of hundreds of people to find a child without disturbing other people.

After the feminine businessman finished speaking, he glanced at the bed with his slender eyes, and then glanced at the Qin Jun around him with a look of trash: "Hurry up!!!!".

The few people dared to be negligent, and hurriedly exited the carriage.

Outside the carriage, many disguised Qin Jun cast nervous glances in this direction. They knew that if they really couldn't find the child later, their lives would definitely be here.

"Don't waste time, look for it!" A man wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered to the surrounding Qin Jun.

Those people also nodded quickly and spread the news.

The sun is already westward, and dusk is approaching.

The caravan continued to move forward peacefully.

However, there have been some quiet changes in this huge team.

For example, the merchants who transported silk and satin, for some reason, started to wander around regardless of the precious goods in the car.

The coachman, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly opened up his chatter box and started chatting with people nearby.

Even the son of a rich family, who has been pampered and unable to come out in the carriage, suddenly has the interest to come out to watch the sunset, walk around in the motorcade, and look around.

An anxious net slowly spread out.

These people seem to have different identities and have nothing to do with each other, but they all have one weird thing in common.

That is, they all have a triangular pattern on their bodies.

Possibly embroidery on clothes.

It may be the jade pendant on the waist.

Even a patch on the hat.

In short, big and small, if you don't observe it deliberately, you won't notice it at all.

At the end of the line, Xu Baiyan was still sitting behind the grain cart, holding the triangular ornament that fell out of nowhere in boredom, slowly rubbing his fingers along the edge.

The little girl beside him leaned her head on his shoulder, as if heartless, sleeping very soundly
