Chapter 5 See You Again
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the village by the mountains and rivers is silent. Although the cold is still there, the air is so fresh that it makes people breathe comfortably.

On the way out of the official road, I had to pass the Yizhuang, and from a distance, I saw the thin old man and a farmer carrying a wooden stretcher to the back mountain. The rotten straw mat covered the person indiscriminately, and the exposed clothes were undoubtedly Zhang Mama.

The carriage didn't stop, Wang Er didn't make a sound, and speeded up as he flicked his whip without squinting. Only Liu Da looked back frequently, with a complicated expression on his face.

The official road was flat and open, before noon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a Nuo Da restaurant beside the main road, all kinds of people came and went, it was extremely lively, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and food.

The dry food in the car was gone yesterday, and there was no noodle stall in a teahouse along the way. The few people who only drank a bowl of porridge and pickles in the morning got out of the car hungry.

As soon as Li Ru'an stepped up to the second floor, she felt the murderous intent coming towards her face, but it was fleeting. She raised her eyebrows, not coming towards her.

Sitting down by the window, drinking mellow hot tea, taking advantage of Xuegu's ordering, Li Ru'an did not let go of her guard and glanced around, although it was not aimed at her, but if the scene became chaotic, she still had to take care of Xuegu Zi cigarette.

The closer you get to Kyoto, the more prosperous the place will be. This Linfeng restaurant is three stories high, with red eaves reaching into the clouds, and the decoration is obviously much more luxurious than the previous inns and restaurants. There is an antique mahogany screen at the entrance of the stairs, and you can see all sides around the screen The half windows are wide open for air circulation, and several charcoal-burning stoves in the surrounding corners maintain the temperature in the room. Unique carved wooden screens separate the independent seats, and some green asparagus bamboos are placed under the screens to make it more simple and elegant.

Downstairs is full of noisy guests, but on the second floor there are only four sparse tables. Although there are carved screens and green potted plants, you can vaguely see the inside. On the left side near the stairs is a middle-aged couple with bright clothes. There are a lot of dishes, and two mothers standing beside are coaxing two children in Chinese clothes to eat. Looking closely at the facial expressions of several people, there is nothing unusual.

At the table next door, there was a simple dish of one meat and one vegetable with rice, and two burly men in civilian clothes mechanically lowered their heads to dig their rice, but the corners of their eyes glanced at the entrance stairs from time to time.

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows, and then glanced at the three people in the opposite seat and the four people in the right seat. The expressions of the nine people were almost the same, but except for the first two men breathing a little longer and calmer, the others breathed heavily and fluttered. They all paid attention to the stairs, as if they were waiting for someone to appear.

"The food is here!" The sound of footsteps going up the stairs came, accompanied by Xiaoer's voice, the expression of the nine people tightened and relaxed, and the action of quickly reaching under the table was fully visible, Li Ru'an chuckled secretly, where did they find it? Fool, his thoughts are all written on his face, even a person who practiced martial arts would feel strange when walking up.

Seeing clearly that the situation was not a threat, before the target appeared, Li Ru'an started to eat slowly, wouldn't it be more fun to eat and drink tea before going to the theater.

However, the husband and wife family left after eating and drinking. Li Ruan’s table was almost licked clean by Zi Yan’s bowl of soup. Putting down the hand resting on her chin, she sighed, she missed the wonderful fighting scene last night, it's a pity.

After packing a lot of snacks and dry food, several people went downstairs, and the carriage slowly turned onto the road, passing one person and one horse.

It's him?Li Ru'an, who was behind the half-opened curtain, glanced unintentionally, was stunned for a while, then raised his head slightly to look back, and saw the man in white reining in his horse and stopping at the entrance of the restaurant yesterday.

There was a slight smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air. Li Ru'an recalled the strong sound of horseshoes he heard before leaving last night, and then thought of the three tables on the second floor, his eyes moved slightly.

"Wang Er stop the car, nanny, I forgot to wash my hands, wait for me, don't follow."

"Huh? This child!" Xue Gu shook her head helplessly when she saw the people who got out of the car in a hurry.

Li Ru'an quietly walked up to the second floor, using the screen to cover her, slipped behind the two human-high potted plants next to the stairs, and looked inside through the gap with her breath held back.

Xiao Huan, who was surrounded by nine people in the center, twitched his ears and raised his eyebrows in surprise, it was her again!

Today's straw bags are completely incomparable with those of last night. No, the nine people lay on the ground in twos and threes, and none of the surrounding potted leaves fell.

"Do you like watching people fight?" A familiar and unique magnetic voice sounded, with a hint of inquiry.

Li Ru'an was somewhat frustrated, she thought she was very good at hiding her aura, and no one had ever noticed it, but being spotted twice by the same person was really a slap in the face.Today is different from last night, presumably the man in white has been on guard for a long time, there are several long breaths lurking nearby, all of them are the best in cultivating internal skills, so she doesn't go out to cause trouble, not to mention she didn't wear a handkerchief to cover her face.

Xiao Huan waited for a long while but there was no response, and after walking around the screen, there was no one there, only a wisp of refreshing fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.

"General, is there anything unusual?" Yi Xing waved his hand to let the others clean up quickly when he turned in from the window, seeing the general shaking his head behind the screen with a helpless expression on his face.

"It's nothing, it's just a kitten." And it's a cunning and sensitive kitten. Yi Xing and the others are his personal guards, and they are rare masters of martial arts in Daqing, but no one has noticed the shortcoming except himself. A few dozen steps away, there is a person spying on him, whose age is less than [-] years old, not to be underestimated.

Xiao Huan, who was sitting back in the private seat by the window, poured a cup of tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a semi-old carriage starting beside the road. He rolled his dark eyes, thoughtful.

Unknowingly, they walked for another five days, the weather became colder and colder, and the noon sun could not dispel the biting chill. Li Ru'an sat in the thick quilt and flipped through the medical books left by Gao Shi. I have already memorized it in my teens, and I have excellent perseverance.

There was a faint cry, and as the car moved forward it became clearer, Zi Yan glanced at the young lady whose eyes were calm and unmoved, and couldn't help but curiously opened the small half of the curtain.

The road is spacious, with bare low slopes on both sides. A disheveled little girl kneeling on the side of the road ahead, with a face full of despair and crying sadly, is hugging a pale and limp middle-aged woman.

Ziyan stared at the window for a while, and when she turned around, she saw Li Ru'an was still as stable as Mount Tai. She squinted her mouth and looked at Xuegu, her big round eyes were wet.

Xuegu sighed, and touched the little girl's head, "I know you think of yourself. Back then, Miss and I saved you and took you to eat with more mouths, but it's different now. I don't know what difficulties are waiting for us in Beijing. What?" He said, wrapped a few pieces of dry food with cloth, and took out two pieces of silver from his pocket and handed them to Zi Yan, "Go down and give this to them."

"Stop the car."

Zi Yan hugged the cloth bag and got out of the car, seeing that the little girl was about the same age as she was back then, with sadness flashing in her big eyes, she knelt down and handed the things over, "Don't cry, here you are."

The little girl was crying so hard, her eyes lit up when she saw the dim sum, she quickly took it, kowtowed several times to Zi Yan, and hurriedly broke the dim sum to feed the comatose and limp woman.

"Mother, wake up, there is something to eat!"

The woman opened her mouth in a daze, and her chapped lips burst into bloodshot eyes. Seeing this, Zi Yan hurried back to the car to get a water bag, and helped feed several pieces of snacks for the woman to eat.

Li Ru'an propped her forehead and looked at it calmly, with no waves in her heart. She is a heartless person. In modern times, only Master is worthy of her concern. The reason why she came here is because she has deep trust in Xuegu and Ziyan in her memory, so she naturally classifies it as herself. Others, such as Li Yuan, Li Ren, and the grandfather's family, to her, were just people she knew in memory, without any feelings to speak of, let alone strangers on the side of the road.

 Ahhh!Someone voted for recommendation!Brighten up the day, thank you honey, mouth one!
