Traveling with a female companion

The next day was the day when Badger resumed his fortune-telling skills. Song Xiaocheng woke up and found that the ecstasy powder was also full. She was very happy and wanted to ask Badger if he had figured out where Huiyu was?When she came outside Yuan Qingzhu's room, she heard the squawking sound of the badger through the door. She reached out to knock on the door, but suddenly thought that she could say that she would not go with them last night, so why should she know Huiyu's whereabouts?

While her hands froze in mid-air, the door creaked open, and it was the Badger.Badger smiled and turned around and shouted: "Miss Yuan, Miss Song is here." Song Xiaocheng was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say, Yuan Qingzhu came out and asked her what was the matter, Badger laughed and said, "What else can I do?" , must have come to listen to my fortune-telling results."

"Oh?" The corner of Yuan Qingzhu's mouth raised and he folded his hands, "I heard that you won't go with us." Song Xiaocheng also laughed: "Isn't that right, but I can't help being a gossip, come and listen to the fun Not enough?" Yuan Qingzhu tilted his head sideways, and came in to talk.

Song Xiaocheng originally wanted to put on airs, but she didn't think about what to do when she invited her in so naturally.She stepped into the door by accident, Yuan Qingzhu asked her to sit down at the table, where Caidie sat yesterday, "I have newly brewed Biluochun, are you still used to drinking it?" Yuan Qingzhu picked up the teapot, Song Xiaocheng Immediately flattered: "I will do it myself, I will do it myself."

Badger jumped onto the stool unceremoniously, half of his fat head was exposed behind the round table: "Oh, it's so troublesome, let me go to the table and talk about it." Yes, that’s right, it’s at Eunuch Liu’s residence.”

Badger said that it figured out that Huiyu lived in a big house in a place called Wanghai City. The house looked like a big family with five people in and out. She had a beautiful house alone with a terrace. When it came to her, she leaned on the railing and watched as if thinking about something.

Song Xiaocheng asked if there was anyone else nearby, Badger shook his head, only knew that it was Eunuch Liu's house, and did not see anyone else.Song Xiaocheng thought about it: "If you want to look at Haicheng, then you have to go west, first leave Jinxi Town and go to the nearby big market, and if you take a shortcut, you can get there by crossing the Pengshui River by boat. It will take three or four days, but if you go by land, you have to go through layers of winding mountains, and it will take seven or eight days."

"Miss Song, you are very familiar with this place." Badger said with a smile.Song Xiaocheng also laughed: "I suggest you take the water route, I don't know if you get seasick, badger, it's not a good feeling." Badger scratched the fluffy head: "I haven't been on a boat, everything Why don't you give it a try, Miss Yuan, what do you think?"

Yuan Qingzhu nodded: "That's right, let's go faster by boat, pack up our things and set off immediately." Badger rattled: "I'll be leaving soon, I'll say goodbye to the girls first, anyway, we will spend time together in the villa afflicted."

Thinking of Caidie, Song Xiaocheng also chimed in and said, "Women Xia, go and say hello to them too, after all, it's fate." Yuan Qingzhu hesitated for a moment: "Then your next plan is..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm a great hero in Jinxi Town anyway, just enjoy two more days in Qian's Mansion," Song Xiaocheng waved her hand easily, "I will continue the task of saving people, that is, for now I don’t know where there are weak women, so it’s okay to wait for me to recharge my batteries for a while.”

Badger sat down on the table, and looked at her pitifully with two bright eyes: "So you are serious." Song Xiaocheng smiled: "That's not true, there is no banquet in the world that lasts, I wish you a journey Good luck, find Huiyu as soon as possible."

"That's a pity. I wanted to ask you to come with us," Yuan Qingzhu said, cupping his hands, "You're right, I wish you well, so let's go." She pulled up the badger and left, the dog Badger was dragged to the ground by her, just like the first time, he looked back at her reluctantly.

Song Xiaocheng didn't expect this, and it took her a while to realize: In other words, the heroine originally wanted to ask me to be a partner, but I put on airs and got rid of it.She hurried out to find them back, and stomped her feet again: Why should I go up there, isn't it just Wanghai City, I can also go there by boat.

She bid farewell to the family of the Qian family. They wanted to give her some gold and silver as money, but Song Xiaocheng refused to accept it no matter what. Miss Qian insisted on giving it to her, saying that it was what she deserved.Song Xiaocheng accepted it embarrassingly, she secretly weighed the purse, it was not light, and she could spend money on the road again.

According to what she said before, she left Jinxi Town first, and went to the market two hundred miles away, where there was the largest pier, and the route led to the world.When I went there, I saw that the pier was very lively, the business was prosperous, and there were really many people coming and going.Song Xiaocheng was very happy, and with the gold ingots that the brothel used to eat, her money could even buy a boat.

But when she found the owner of the ship, she found out that there was only one boat to Wanghai City every day, and she could book the best cabin, but only in the afternoon of tomorrow. "That means, today's boat has already left?" Song Xiaocheng asked anxiously, and the owner nodded: "It's a pity that you are only one step away, and you can catch up an hour earlier."

"Then...is there a girl with a black cloth over her eyes who boarded the ship with a badger?"

The captain laughed dumbfounded, and took the badger on board, which he had never seen before.Song Xiaocheng was a little confused. Yuan Qingzhu and Badger obviously set off earlier than her, so they should board this boat.But it was useless to think too much, it was getting late, she went to a nearby inn to spend the night before talking.

She was eating alone in the corner of the inn lobby, and ordered a table of good wine and food in a fit of anger, but she could see the lively crowds around her, all of them with companions, laughing and toasting, she was inexplicable There was a sense of loneliness again, as if the air around him had also solidified.She finds it strange, she doesn't feel it at all when she is alone on weekdays, and she also thinks that some people are so stupid that they sigh because of loneliness, but she also tastes this feeling inexplicably today, if... if Badger and Heroine Also sit at the table and eat together, and it would be nice if everyone could chat.

The inn is brightly lit, and the orders for drinking and drinking are constantly changing. The dog raised by the shopkeeper is also boldly circling around the table. Some guests are in a good mood and throw a chicken bone to it. The dog jumps on it and gnaws on it Very exciting.Song Xiaocheng ate and drank silently, and she also ordered a Daokou roast chicken, tore off the chicken legs and thought: Haha, this is the badger's favorite food, I will eat it all to myself today.But I took two bites and found it bland. It would be a joy to watch a badger eat it.There is also Yuan Qingzhu, although she doesn't talk much, but for some reason, she always wants to see her.

Song Xiaocheng took another two sips of mulled wine to dispel the chill of loneliness.At this time, there seemed to be some animals rubbing against her legs, and there was the sound of snorting. She didn't even bother to look at it, so she raised her leg and kicked: "Go, go, I haven't finished eating yet."

A very familiar high-pitched voice sounded: "Can't you even eat me?"

Badger!Song Xiaocheng hurriedly lowered her head to look. Badger sat obediently on the ground, looking at her with shining black eyes. "That's great, that's great! You don't know that I'm almost suffocated without you chatting along the way." Song Xiaocheng shouted happily, picking it up and putting it on her lap: "Here's your chicken leg." Dog Badger grabbed the chicken leg and chewed it: "It's delicious. I haven't eaten meat all day. I'm so hungry."

"By the way, where's the heroine?" Song Xiaocheng asked.

Badger turned around and grinned, "I knew you'd ask" expression. "Miss Song, I have been watching you secretly. Are you lonely eating alone and miss us?" Seeing where Yuan Qingzhu was, Badger pointed with his paw: "She's come in."

Yuan Qingzhu was still dressed in black and walked into the inn lobby with a black cloth over his eyes.There was a lot of noise around drinking and punching, but Song Xiaocheng seemed to feel that the world had quieted down. She walked to the table and tapped on the table with her slender fingers: "Can you sit?"

"Woman, you can do whatever you want." Song Xiaocheng said, with uncontrollable joy on her face, secretly glad that she couldn't see it.Badger laughed, and Song Xiaocheng restrained her emotions: "Oh, what a coincidence, did you come here for dinner too? I was going to go by boat, but the boat owner said that there was only one boat to Wanghai City every day, so I didn't There is a way, I can only spend the night at the inn, what about you?"

"Are you going to Wanghai City too?" The badger smugly grasped her words, and Yuan Qingzhu also showed doubts on his face.Song Xiaocheng said naturally: "Yeah, there is no one nearby for me to rescue. The Qianfu gave me some money, and I am too lazy to walk on two legs. Why don't you take a boat and enjoy it... You guys should come before me." Let's go, why haven't you boarded the boat yet?"

Yuan Qingzhu said: "We missed the boat too." Song Xiaocheng nodded, and called the store waiter to bring over two sets of bowls and chopsticks. The waiter saw a badger sitting on the table eating and chewing, and his face seemed to be a little cramp. "Girl, this restaurant doesn't allow dogs to be eaten on the table." Hearing this, Badger thought it was a dog again, dropped the chicken bone and grinned.

"What's wrong?" Song Xiaocheng opened the purse and threw a handful of broken silver, "Add a few more delicious dishes, and I want a room for the night." Xiaoer took the money and smiled openly, saying promised to leave. "Don't go, we need three rooms, there are three of us." Badger squeaked.

Xiao Er's mouth was about to crack to the base of his ears: "A dog also needs to live in a private room?" Song Xiaocheng waved her hand: "Go, go, I'll give you the rest of the broken silver as a tip." Xiao Er immediately agreed happily: " No, the dogs of the rich live better than the poor, so let’s do it for the young ones.” Song Xiaocheng shook her head after sending Xiaoer away: “Badger, it’s like this every time, how much do you owe me? gone?"

But Badger was very rude: "Miss Song, you said just now that the Qian family gave you money, and Miss Yuan is also a great hero, and she didn't get any money. Should you also...compensate us?" The corner of Yuan Qingzhu's mouth twitched Jan agrees.

Song Xiaocheng didn't understand what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds: "I think there's something wrong with you guys, so let me tell you straight up, did you follow me secretly, you set off earlier than me but didn't board the ship, you are waiting for me ?”

"We set off earlier than you, who is following whom?" Yuan Qingzhu said indifferently, and Song Xiaocheng was dumbfounded for a moment.At this time, Xiao Er brought up the good wine and good food, and there was no place to put it on the table. He respectfully brought a stool for the badger and waited for it to sit down.The badger stood on tiptoe, put his fluffy arms on the table, and began to eat unceremoniously. The owner's dog who gnawed on the chicken bone next to him could only envy and envy.

"Hey, aren't you happy to eat with us?" Badger asked with a smile.

"Hey, talking is better than nothing." Song Xiaocheng said indifferently, and the corner of Yuan Qingzhu's mouth twitched, and everything was fine after that.

After noon the next day, it was time for the boat to Wanghai City to set off.Song Xiaocheng dawdled in the room on purpose. She listened to the movement in the room next door, wondering if she would meet them at the pier.Sitting and killing time, someone knocked on the door outside, and it was Yuan Qingzhu.

Song Xiaocheng's heart skipped a beat, did the heroine come to beg me to form a team?Yuan Qingzhu still looked sad: "Aren't you going?"

"Where am I going?"

"Stop pretending."

"I'm not pretending, I don't understand what you are saying, female hero."

Yuan Qingzhu sighed, and the badger showed his furry head behind the door: "Hurry up, it's time to sail." Song Xiaocheng looked around with her fingers, pretending to be stupid.

"Let's go." Suddenly Yuan Qingzhu grabbed her hand and walked out the door. "Hey girl, what are you doing, where are you taking me?"

"Get on board."
