Chapter 209
Three hours had passed since the departure from Wulingwei. It was breakfast time, and the waiter brought some rice porridge and some white flour steamed buns.
"Sir, your people have been gone for such a long time and haven't come back yet, but what happened on the way?" The waiter scratched his head and continued: "This is the last meal our restaurant can provide you.
Now, I have finished eating all the food, so I can only drink some water to satisfy my hunger.
I see that you are still following two children. If your people have any ideas, let them find a way to take you out for refuge."
"It's been really hard on you during this period."
After Su Manrong took the porridge, he looked at the waiter with a smile: "If our people come to pick us up and leave, then forget it. If we can't leave, we can only stay in your room. Even if there is no food, we will always
You can't leave without running into the water, can you?
I’m sure if you open your business, you won’t have trouble with money, right?”
"But if you live here, we really can't provide food. If you insist on living here, just give us a salary, which is one tael of silver per day for three rooms."
The waiter smiled politely.
"Okay, if we can't leave before lunch, I will send money there." Su Manrong nodded, and then stopped looking at the hypocritical smile of the waiter.
"When we booked the venue, I gave him a gold ingot. He only had a decent dinner and some plain porridge for two days in a row. This money is not easy to spend..."
Xiao Chengxian glanced at Bai Zhou with disgust, and sat back on the bed irritably.
It was okay to eat one or two meals of plain porridge occasionally, but he was really tired of eating this kind of food for two days and two nights in a row.
However, the behavior of the store owners is considered normal. After all, in the face of disaster, it is not illegal for them to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. They hide food secretly to survive...
Seeing his coquettish and angry look, Su Manrong raised her lips and smiled. To be honest, she had always thought that the man she liked would be a man who was mature and steady, and whose ability and knowledge were above hers.
But since she got together with Xiao Chengxian, she has seen her own heart clearly. She didn't understand feelings before, thinking that a man who is excellent in the workplace will also be excellent in life.
But now think about it carefully, if she really found her colleague or boss as her boyfriend, wouldn't she have found a male version of herself?
She is dissatisfied with her own personality. If she continues to fall in love with someone with a similar personality to her own, the experience will definitely be poor.
She walked to the luggage on the side, took out a pack of pickled mustards, and poured it on the plate: "It's time to eat. This way, the white porridge will have a bit of flavor."
Du Xin's two aunts and Xiao Chengxiao are not picky eaters at all. Before they had pickled mustard, they ate their meals in big gulps. Now that they have pickled mustard, they are even more satisfied with their current lives.
In addition, the two children have light tastes, so it is also suitable to drink some white porridge occasionally.
So Su Manrong walked to the bed, bent down and whispered to Xiao Chengxian: "You can find a way to call the 50 guard in the next room over, and I will give you meat."
"Okay." Xiao Chengxian, who had laid out his corpse, jumped to his feet when he heard that there was meat to eat.
After a while, the remaining 50 guards came to the room with porridge to eat mustard. They also teased the two children and each drank half a bowl of porridge.
"Here, roast duck." Su Manrong took out a bag from behind, which contained authentic Beijing roast duck.
"What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?" Xiao Chengxian smelled the overflowing aroma of roast duck, walked quickly to Su Manrong, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
With duck meat to eat and an opportunity to take advantage of his wife, he made the right bet this time.
With an aunt-like smile on her face, Su Manrong taught him how to dip the sauce, add cucumber shreds and green onion shreds, and finally watched him eat the duck meat with a satisfied look on his face, and then she held her chin in her hands and admired it.
Being trapped in a restaurant for the past two days is indeed irritating. But this scene can be regarded as joy in suffering.
"Just a roast duck can make you feel this way. If I give you an unexpected gift in the future, how should you express it?"
There was unbridled joy in Su Manrong's eyes, and she no longer had to hide her love for Xiao Chengxian.
"You will know then." Xiao Chengxian raised his lips and smiled, with a satisfied look on his face.
Not to mention Su Manrong gave him an unexpected gift, even if she did nothing, just being by his side was enough.
"Are you still pretending?" Su Manrong tilted her head, thinking: "Aren't you curious about what unexpected gift I want you to give you?"
"Since you said it was an unexpected gift, I definitely couldn't guess it." Although Xiao Chengxian was curious, he didn't want to show it.
He wanted to wait until his wife couldn't hold it in any longer and told him...before that, he chose to remain silent.
Su Manrong held her forehead and smiled helplessly. Xiao Chengxian had always been very good at talking...
After Xiao Chengxian had finished showing off the roast duck and even ate a lot of the remaining fried duck skeleton, she started talking about some worrying topics.
"At this time, it has been almost four hours since they left, and my concubine has also been out for an hour, and there is still no news."
An hour ago, the distance between the 50th and the 50th satellite was more than two hours, and it has not returned.
Xiao Chengxian released his beloved concubine and asked her to go along Xianyang City to find the 50th Guards.
But until now, there is no news about either the 50 Guards or the concubine.
"The 50th Guards usually wear plain clothes, but today they all put on red vests. If they don't speak, and the smell around them is so bad, it's common for them not to be able to tell the difference."
Xiao Chengxian saw that she was so worried and it was pointless to accompany her and say disturbing words, so he comforted her: "The eight of them are very good at water. If they haven't returned home for a long time, they must have gone to the next city to look for rescue."
"The next city, I remember, was entering the Sichuan-Sichuan territory."
"It's Dazhou City on the border of Sichuan and Shu. It's several cities away from our place of exile." Xiao Chengxian nodded. The place they want to be exiled to is the southernmost part of Sichuan and Shu, where it connects with the Miao territory.
After entering the Sichuan-Sichuan border, the further south you go, the more rugged the road becomes and the higher the terrain becomes. In some places, miasma is prevalent, making people lose their direction.
However, although the place where they were exiled was more desolate, at least it did not have these messy miasmas. Apart from being heavier in humidity, it was still suitable for human habitation.
When Xiao Chengxian finished eating the duck meat and the two of them returned to the room, Aifei returned empty-handed. It failed to find the 50th guard. After entering the cage, it sat in the communication room very disappointed, seeming to blame itself.
"My beloved, would you like to try the new feed?"
