The Empress is running again

Chapter 496

On the quiet official road, a blue and black carriage was driving slowly on the road.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, which made people feel depressed.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the day will change. I'd better find a place to hide for now. I'm afraid that the rainstorm will come soon."

The person on the carriage was none other than Quan Xi who had already left the capital.

He lifted the curtain of the car to look at the sky outside, and his soft brows and eyes sank.

"Well, let's go somewhere to avoid it first."

"Yes."

Having said that, it is not easy to find a place to hide from the rain in this wilderness.

This is at the foot of a mountain, and there is still a long distance from the market town of the county. It is not so easy to rush there now.

Quan Xi's men could only find a cave to hide in temporarily.

The cave they found was not far from the foot of the mountain. They thought it was a place that almost no one had been to, but when Quan Xi and the others walked in, they found that the cave was very clean. There was also a quilt and some clean cooking utensils inside. , it looks like someone has used it for a long time.

"We are afraid that we have strayed into someone else's residence, so there are people nearby?"

"Crack!"

At this time, a thunder flashed in the sky, and the big raindrops fell, hitting the carriage they parked outside with a "crackling" sound.

Even if he knew that he had strayed into someone else's place, it was impossible to go out at this time. He had to wait for the owner of this place to come back and make an apology.

Thinking of this, Quan Xi walked to the side stone bench and sat down.

The cave didn't look any different, but sitting here even though it was raining heavily outside, he didn't feel cold, but the warmth inside the cave made him drowsy.

Just when Quan Xi was about to fall asleep, there was a noise outside.

Quan Xi opened his eyes slightly, and saw a slender and flexible figure rushing in.

Seeing this, the guards beside him quickly got up and stopped him.

"who!"

Quan Xi raised her eyes and saw the figure clearly.

She was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth, her hair was wrapped in a blue veil, a small face the size of a palm had a pair of big nimble eyes, the water was clean and transparent, and her skin glistened in the dark holes. With a light wheat color, he looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, not very old.

"Who are you! When you arrive at my house, you still ask me what I am!"

It just exudes a pleasant vitality.

When Quan Xi heard that she was the owner of the cave, she stood up apologetically.

"You all step back."

"Yes."

The guards retreated behind Quan Xi after hearing the words.

Quan Xi stood up and came to the woman, looking at her softly.

He stood up, only to realize that she was not as tall as his shoulders, so she answered the sentence of petite and exquisite.

"Who are you? Why did you come to my house?" The little girl stared wide-eyed, and her tone was very unfriendly. Although the person in front of her was the most beautiful person she had ever seen when she grew up, this could not be erased. His crime of trespassing on his own home.

"It's raining trespassing on the girl's house, it's just that it's raining suddenly outside, and I can't find a place to shelter from the rain, so I have to..."

Yutu turned around and looked at the pouring rain outside, then at their carriage, walked to the place where Quan Xi was sitting just now and sat down.

"For the sake of your good looks, I forgive you." Then, she took out the wild fruit that she picked on her body just now, wiped it on her body, and opened her mouth to take a bite.

The crisp sound of "click" made Quan Xi stunned, seeing her sitting there without any scruples and raising her legs, she couldn't help but raised the corners of her lips.

The guard on the side couldn't help but be taken aback.

He has been by Quan Xi's side for some time, and he has never seen Quan Xi show many smiling faces.

"What are you doing standing there, just sit down." Yutu waved her hand proudly after eating, motioning for Quan Xi to sit down.

Seeing her impolite appearance, the guard wanted to come forward to say something, but was stopped by Quan Xi.

"Then thank you girl."

"You're welcome, who made you look good."

good looking...

Quan Xi was a little dumbfounded, but she was a straightforward little girl.

The rain outside seemed to have no intention of stopping. When the heavy rain gradually turned into light rain, Quan Xi looked sideways at Yutu, and she fell asleep!
In front of a cave full of strange men, she actually fell asleep...

This girl has such a big heart.

"My lord, although the rain has lightened, it looks like the sky is going to be dark..." If you hurry at this time, you will definitely not find a place to stay.

Quan Xi turned to look at Yutu, who was sleeping soundly. I'm afraid I'm going to bother her here tonight.

But she is sleeping soundly now, so we can only talk about it when she wakes up.

"You guys bring in the food and bedding from the carriage."

"Yes."

Jade Rabbit woke up smelling a strong smell of meat.

She subconsciously licked her lips, looked at the pot on the fire and swallowed.

"What kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

"This is the sauced beef bought in the city. The girl must be hungry too. I need to eat more later."

Yutu is pure-minded, but she is not stupid. She raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside, and it was completely dark. It was not the darkness when it was raining, but it was really dark.

"Are you going to stay with me tonight?"

Quan Xi looked at her and nodded. "It's really our fault for disturbing the girl. I will definitely give the girl some compensation."

"Twelve taels of silver!"

Quan Xi stared at the little hand stretched out in front of her eyes for a moment.

Ten taels of silver...

Yutu saw that he looked at her and said nothing. Could it be that the ten taels of silver are too much?

Can't!
She was thrown into this mountain when she was ten years old, and a kind hunter adopted her, but the hunter fell off the cliff two years ago while hunting and never came back.

Since then, she has become a person, and the thatched hut she lived in was also washed away by the heavy rain. In the past two years, she has lived in this small cave, and usually eats some prey and wild fruits.

Until now, she thought that ten taels of silver was already a big amount.

Seeing that Quan Xi didn't answer, she thought she wanted too much.

"Okay, I'll give you ten taels of silver."

Before Yutu could speak, Quan Xi nodded in agreement.

"Really? Are you sure you won't go back on your word?"

"I'm sure."

After finishing speaking, he directly asked the guard to take out the ten taels of silver, but he put some copper coins and broken silver in her hands instead.

"There's a town ahead, you can follow me there tomorrow to have a look and buy some things you need." He looked at the little girl's thin quilt, which was fine in summer, but in winter, it would be really tormenting.

Yutu carefully put away the broken silver he gave.

Hearing this, she looked at him in a daze. "To... the town?"
