After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Every time the red bean buns go out, they will be tied with a soft cloth strip.

At this time, the cloth strip was held in Xiao Miaomiao's hand.

Hongdoubao, who was walking obediently, suddenly became uncontrollable.

It struggled and jumped against the railing, squeaking and screaming.

Xiao Miaomiao hurriedly comforted Hongdoubao, "What's wrong Hongdoubao?"

"Stop moving, it will be bad if you fall, you will get hurt!"

But Hongdoubao was not obedient. Instead, he jumped up on Miaomiao's shoulders.

Everyone was shocked.

Liu Guang said, "Miao Miao, be careful" and was about to step forward to rescue his sister.

Miao Miao raised a small hand and shook it, "Second brother, don't come over."

"The red bean bag is not trying to hurt me, it... seems to be afraid."

Hongdou Bao was lying on Xiao Miaomiao's back, pointing downstairs with one front paw and looking horrified.

It looks a little pitiful.

Liu Yong and Liu Ming held on to the railing and looked down. The lobby was brightly lit and there were only two tables of people eating.

Liu Ming said, "The guests at these two tables were sitting there when we arrived."

"The red bean bun didn't react at all at that time."

Jiang Xiaohua frowned, "Hongdou Bao always listens to Miaomiao the most. There must be another reason for this sudden behavior."

Liu Yong thought, "Is there something we didn't see?"

As the words left his mouth, there was silence.

The shopkeeper's back felt hairy and he couldn't help but shrink his neck and look around.

But he quickly reacted and raised his hand to assure, "There is absolutely nothing dirty in our store."

"Look, gentlemen, you can't even see a single magic talisman anywhere!"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled awkwardly, "The shopkeeper doesn't need to explain, we didn't mean that."

Li Yuanzhi, Liu Yong, Liu Guang, and Liu Ming also grinned hurriedly, saying that they really didn't mean that.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "The monkey may be easily frightened due to the change of environment."

"Go back inside, give it something to eat, and it should be fine."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Xiaohua walked down the slope and changed the subject, "We want to have dinner in the house."

"We also need some hot water, water for drinking, and things for washing."

The shopkeeper promised, "No problem, I'll ask the waiter to bring hot water and menus later."

As he spoke, he continued to lead Jiang Xiaohua's family to the room at the end of the corridor.

It is still an inner and outer room, with soft furniture and furniture in the outer room.

It's just that the furnishings are more complicated and exquisite than those Jiang Xiaohua has lived in before.

The shopkeeper lit a few candles, looked at the couch, and said, "This couch is a bit hard."

"I'll ask the guy to get another mattress, two quilts and pillows."

"Make sure all the guests have a comfortable sleep."

Jiang Xiaohua thanked her with a smile.

The shopkeeper said "should", said goodbye and went out and closed the door.

Liu Guang walked quietly behind the door, opened a crack in the door, looked at it, and turned back:

"Let's go, there's no one in the corridor."

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, each found a place to sit down, and all looked at the red bean buns.

Hong Bean Bao has regained his composure and is showing off the pine nut candy he just got to Oolong.

Oolong was not interested in pine nut candies, so he put his head aside and lay down on the ground to rest.

Jiang Xiaohua was confused, "What did Hongdou Bao see just now?"

Liu Guang looked around carefully and whispered, "Is it really a ghost?"

Jiang Xiaohua couldn't help but roll her eyes, "When I said I saw something, I meant it literally."

"Maybe Hongdou Bao saw something nasty and it passed by in a flash, and none of us happened to see it."

Li Yuanzhi nodded, "This is the only possibility."

"After all, Hong Bean Bao has been hurt by humans before."

"It's normal for it to be extremely sensitive to people and things it doesn't like, and to be afraid or disgusted."

Everyone infers that there is no aunt.

Xiao Miaomiao held her chin and sighed, "It's a pity that Hong Bean Bao can't speak."

"Otherwise we would know what it saw."

When Jiang Xiaohua saw the menu of the inn, she experienced the high prices in Beijing for the first time.

She ordered three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, plus steamed buns and corn and bean porridge.

There is also a large portion of roasted pork for Oolong.

The total amount turned out to be one or two taels of silver.

At this point, Jiang Xiaohua still chose dishes with ordinary ingredients.

I didn’t dare to choose expensive dishes like venison and fish.

When the whole family finished washing, the two waiters happened to deliver the food.

Jiang Xiaohua ate in silence for a while, then suddenly put down her chopsticks, "No!"

Li Yuanzhi and the children all looked at her, wondering what was going on.

Jiang Xiaohua took out a breath, cheered up and said, "This is a meal that can only be barely swallowed."

"You actually asked me for one or two taels of silver!"

“The cost of living in the capital should not be underestimated!”

Li Yuanzhi took a sip of porridge and sighed, "That's not it."

"The roasted meat is dry and woody. You see, my eating speed today is much slower than usual."

Everyone looked at Oolong and sighed.

Xiao Miaomiao said, "After eating it, my mother's cooking is the most delicious!"

Jiang Xiaohua clenched her fists and said, "So, tomorrow I will go change money and find a place to live!"

"Cooking and eating by yourself will definitely reduce the cost significantly."

Li Yuanzhi smiled and said, "That's right."

"Although the firewood, rice, oil and salt in the capital are slightly more expensive than in surrounding small cities."

"But it's not that outrageous."

"Eating in a restaurant is expensive mainly because of the high land prices."

"The cost of hiring a cook and a waiter is at least twice as expensive as in a small place."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "So let's eat quickly and go to bed early and get up early!"

“Live your life early and save money!”

That night, Jiang Xiaohua took Xiao Miaomiao to sleep.

Li Yuanzhi and the boys slept outside.

While sleeping, Li Yuanzhi was awakened by footsteps in the corridor.

Maybe it was too quiet at night, and the corridor floor was made of wooden boards, so the sound of that person's footsteps was particularly obvious.

He opened his eyes and found that the room was still dark.

I didn't hear the sound of the clock on the street, and I didn't know when it was midnight.

Li Yuanzhi turned over and sat up. Since he was awake, let's go to the toilet.

The inn toilet is in the backyard.

He took the back stairs straight down to the backyard.

Passing through the rockery pond and dense vegetation, I suddenly saw a person passing in front of me.

Li Yuan then took a half step back and hid on the side of the rockery.

I thought to myself that if I suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, I would be afraid of scaring others.

Secondly, it was awkward for two strange men to meet here.

It would be better to wait until the convenience is over before he goes.

However, the man in front did not enter the toilet.

He squatted down in front of a holly tree, stretched his fingers deep into the branches of the bush, took out a brocade bag and stuffed it into his arms.

Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but wonder if some woman had left this behind.

A pair of lovers have made an agreement to communicate their love in this hidden way?

Just as he was thinking about it, the man stood up.

The clouds flowed and the moonlight poured in.

Li Yuanzhi instantly saw the man's face clearly.

Why does it feel... a little familiar?
