Chapter 266: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 9
Afterwards, she found the waiter in the restaurant and brought two meals to the two officers guarding outside. Although it was not as good as the banquet inside, it also contained vegetables and meat, and the portions were definitely enough to fill her up.
The two people outside were originally munching on dry biscuits and sighing. Why was it their turn to keep watch today? They couldn't even get a seat at the table inside.
When he saw the second brother appearing in front of him and the food in his hands, he immediately felt relieved and turned a blind eye to Xia Yu's behavior of taking Lu Zhan and the other two away.
Xia Yu brought Lu Zhan's family to Chu Yuan's room, and continued to guard the door.
Chu Yuan stood up to greet her: "Aunt, please sit down and try the mutton I brought from Bingzhou."
The three of them had been walking for a whole day and were already starving. When they saw the sumptuous meal in front of them, they wolfed it down without saying anything.
The cakes and dried meat they had on them had to be saved for the next few days, so most of the time they had to endure the hunger. As for the biscuits given to them by the officials at noon, they were still very hard even after soaking in water, and they were only a small piece the size of a palm, so they were completely useless.
When Chu Yuan saw them like this, he felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart.
While inheriting the original owner's memories, she also inherited the original owner's emotions, so when she saw her relatives in trouble, she would involuntarily feel a little distressed.
"Eat slowly, there's no rush. I've prepared a room for you in the inn tonight. Have a good rest after dinner. Ask the waiter to boil some water for you to take a bath and wash away your fatigue."
Lu Zhan, a grown man, was moved when he heard this, not to mention Chu Tingshu, who was already sentimental. Tears were flowing from her eyes again. This was the umpteenth time she had cried that day.
Well, who wouldn’t cry if they were charged with the crime of exile?
Chu Yuan gently wiped away the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief: "Aunt, don't cry anymore. This is not good for the baby in your belly."
In order to dispel their worries, Chu Yuan continued, "Don't worry, uncle and aunt. My grandfather gave me a lot of silver when I left. It's enough to guarantee your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. When we get to the next city, I'll find a pharmacy and write a prescription for your aunt to ensure that the baby is born safely."
Although Chu Tingshu was also worried about the baby in her belly, she couldn't let her niece be in danger. After thinking about it today, she has sorted out her thoughts.
"Yuan'er, I am very grateful that you can prepare so many things for us, but you have to listen to me. After you finish this journey, go back to Bingzhou. This Shu is not a place you can go."
Lu Zhan also echoed: "Yes, you must not follow the exile team. Now these officials can be polite to you because they want the money on you, but who knows what will happen in the future? What if they have sexual intentions towards you in the wild mountains?"
Lu Haoyuan realized the seriousness of the matter as soon as he heard it: "Cousin, please believe me. I will definitely bring our father and mother to Shu safely. If there is an opportunity for amnesty in the future, we will return to Bingzhou to reunite with you."
Chu Yuan was deeply moved after hearing their words, and asked herself, if she were in the current situation, she would definitely hold on to this life-saving straw tightly.
However, escorting them safely to Shu is Chu Yuan's only purpose in coming to this world. If she cannot do that, her coming will be meaningless.
So Chu Yuan could not fulfill their wish no matter what.
"Uncle, aunt, cousin, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but if I leave today, I will have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life. Can you bear to see me sleepless for the rest of my life? Just let me walk a little further."
Several people looked at each other and did not reject her kindness: "Okay, but after walking for a while, you must go back."
Chu Yuan nodded: "I'll listen to my aunt."
After settling them all down, Chu Yuan cleaned up the mess here and put all the things that shouldn't be there into the space.
At this time, Xia Yu, who was helping on the side, spoke up: "Miss, in a few days, are we really going back to Bingzhou?"
"Of course not. What about my mission after returning to Bingzhou? I just need to fool my aunt and the others first, and then I will..."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Yuan put down what she was holding and came to the yard of the inn. She seemed to have heard some unusual noises just now, as if an expert in light kung fu was walking across the roof.
"Who?" As Chu Yuan just walked out of the door, he saw a dark shadow disappearing around the corner.
Humph, no one in this world can escape from her. Chu Yuan changed his pace and immediately followed.
The man didn't expect that a woman he met in the inn would be so difficult to deal with. He couldn't get rid of her after trying to shake her off several times. She even kept pressing on him and was about to catch up with him soon.
Chu Yuan chased the man like a cat chasing a mouse, watching him circling the area, but not daring to go far away, as if he had some unfinished mission and could not leave.
There was no murderous aura about this man, and he didn't look like he was here to kill people. Moreover, he was half a head shorter than himself. Who would send a killer who was still wet behind the ears?
God has been kind to her. Chu Yuangang had just felt that her days in exile were a bit boring, but now someone had come to her doorstep to help her cheer up.
"Hey, stop running. I am even more tired than you. Tell me what you are here for."
The man attacked fiercely, wanting to knock Chu Yuan out with a single knife, but he didn't expect that she dodged so quickly and even grabbed his arm.
"Hey, little guy, come and show your sister what you look like. Why are you hiding like this?"
Chu Yuan pulled away the black cloth covering his face, revealing a handsome little face. Looking at this childish face, Chu Yuan suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Little brother, what's your name and what are you doing here? If you tell me nicely, I'll give you candy."
The man listened to her coaxing tone like a child and felt a little embarrassed and annoyed: "I am not young anymore, I am already thirteen years old this year."
"Oh, you are thirteen years old. What a coincidence! I am almost fifteen this year, so just call me sister and let me hear it."
"Let go, or I'll call for help."
Chu Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, do you want to see what you are wearing now? Night clothes, do you think if you call people over, will they believe you or me?"
"Then what do you want?"
"Tell me your name and why you are here."
