Chapter 75 Smart Little Treasure
The girls from the aristocratic families actually woke up at the same time. Xie Fengyue and Li Zhiyi woke up one after the other, but one of them woke up to a deserted place, and the other to a crowd of people.
Xie Fengyue didn't know what was going on outside now. She only saw broken branches and flower stamens nestled by the door, listening in the corner in boredom.
There was a lot of people outside, some were shouting to bring hot water, and some were shouting that breakfast was ready.
But these have nothing to do with Xie Fengyue. She asked aloud, "Why don't you go buy something?"
Zhezhi pouted helplessly, "I just went downstairs and was kicked back. I don't know which girl is so stylish. She didn't wake up, and she couldn't even move around."
Xie Fengyue lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "It has nothing to do with us, just be careful and don't provoke us."
The two of them nodded solemnly one by one.
But sometimes they don't look for trouble, but trouble comes to them on its own initiative.
Li Zhiyi stayed up until dawn to finish the drawing of the carriage in her memory. As soon as she woke up, she immediately handed it over to Xia Bing, who immediately passed it on to the commander of the army.
If it goes on like this one after another, it seems like trouble but it is spreading widely.
Within a quarter of an hour, the soldier guarding the horse felt that the horse in front of him was very similar to the one in the portrait he had seen before.
But now he didn't know where the carriage was being unloaded, and he wasn't sure. He wanted to wait until he was certain before reporting it, so he stood openly next to the horse and watched to see who would feed the horse.
Li Xiaobao can now go out with the permission of the soldiers, but it is already past the time for the villagers to go to the fields. If he wants to go out, he has to wait until the people come back at noon.
He simply thought that he might as well feed the horse and brush the mud off its body.
As soon as he reached the stable, he saw a soldier standing upright and holding a long gun guarding the stable. Li Xiaobao greeted him casually: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please excuse me. I have to feed the horses."
The soldier took a step back expressionlessly, but his eyes were fixed on him.
Li Xiaobao was stunned by this look and thought to himself: "As expected of a family traveling, even the horses have to be taken care of."
After he finished feeding the horse, he rolled up his sleeves and scooped out a few buckets of water from the large vat next to him, and carefully washed the horse's mud-covered fur.
The more the soldiers watched the groom grooming his horse, the more frightened they became.
The white hair on the horse's chest is exactly the same as the one on the wanted poster.
He quietly retreated and ran directly towards the command office.
Before it was time for a cup of tea, Li Zhiyi came to the stable in person. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and asked in a low voice: "Where is the person you are talking about?"
The soldiers looked innocently at the empty stables.
The horse's head was brushed just before he left! I don’t want the horse’s butt anymore!
Li Zhiyi looked at the commander of the army with an expressionless face and asked: "What is the punishment for pretending to admit merit?"
"If it's light, it can be as long as twenty sticks, and if it's serious, it can kill you with a stick." The commander replied.
Li Zhiyi lowered his head and glanced at the dirty embroidered shoes, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "It's so unlucky to be so early in the morning."
She ignored the crying begging for mercy from the soldiers behind her, and went back to her room with a look of disgust on her face. On the way, she met a village boy who came to play at the inn. She was in a good mood and let Xia Bing reward him. One tael of silver.
The child had never seen Ling Yin before, so he thought the noble man gave him some rare food, so he just put it in his mouth and chewed it until his eyes turned red.
Li Zhiyi laughed out loud, held Xia Bing's hand and said, "This remote country is quite wild and interesting."
At this time, Li Xiaobao, who had already reached the creek with his horse, escaped by accident. He always felt that it was too slow to wash with just a few buckets of water, and it would be better to pull the horse to the creek to wash it clean. When he returned to the inn, he was not so lucky. He happened to bump into Xia Bing who was going out. She recognized the horse at a glance as it was the girl's painting. She was much more cautious than the soldier.
"Brother, I'm here to wash my horses. Is the stream far from here? I also want to go wash my clothes." Xia Bing asked with a smile on her face.
Li Xiaobao frowned when he was suddenly asked. From the look of this person's clothes, she looked like the eldest girl next to a noble man. How could it be her turn to starch her clothes? There was no way he could talk to a man who was simply dressed and looked like a gangster.
He responded to all changes by remaining unchanged, gesturing with his hands on his chest, pointing at his ears, and making a few ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sounds, as if he was deaf and dumb.
Xia Bing was speechless and could only watch him leave in silence, but she didn't give up yet. She followed him quietly. Only after seeing him enter the house directly opposite did she make a decision in her heart.
She trotted back to her room and after thinking about her words, she said: "Girl, do you still remember what that coachman looks like?"
Li Zhiyi paused while eating the fruit and recalled: "At that time, he turned sideways to see clearly, but I remember Chuntao said that the coachman was very fierce."
Xia Bing felt even more confident, but for the sake of safety, she still didn't dare to speak. After all, only one person had died and the body hadn't been burned yet. She didn't want to be his companion on the road to hell.
"I know. I'll talk to the people below later. One more condition is more accurate than just looking for a carriage in the vast sea of people."
She saw a portrait painted on the desk, thought for a while, and then asked: "Is this the thief who hurt the girl?"
Li Zhiyi snorted coldly: "Could it be that when you saw the handsome appearance of the person in the portrait, you felt that he was not the kind of person who could do harm to the world?" She directly characterized Wang Yan's order to cut off her hand as harm to the world. In her eyes, she, Li Zhiyi, is heaven.
When Xia Bing saw her expression change, she immediately shook her head like a rattle and denied repeatedly: "No, no, it's just this portrait"
She didn't dare to talk anymore. When she was on duty, she once saw her nanny bringing portraits of various aristocratic families to meet the girl. But at that time, the girl was obsessed with the storybook and didn't read it at all. Instead, she asked the slaves around her to circulate them one by one. , the name is so good, it allows those who are slaves to gain insights.
In fact, it is to remind the slaves around him, "If the master cannot recognize the person and lacks etiquette, the slave has failed to fulfill his duty of reminding and will be punished."
Li Zhiyi didn't like her showy look, so she sat upright and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, you're so hesitant and petty."
"This seems to be Young Master Yan of the Langya clan."
This sentence caused thousands of waves. Li Zhiyi stopped eating the fruit and his face froze.
"Seriously?"
"I can't guarantee this. I've only seen the portrait, but the girl's painting skills are superb. This painting is almost the same as the one grandma showed us." Xia Bing even praised her, but she didn't see her master look much better. I secretly thought that I was going to suffer.
Sure enough, the next moment, the winter dates on the table were crackling and hitting her head and face.
She immediately knelt down to apologize.
Li Zhiyi's chest rose and fell rapidly. She crushed the dates in her hands, and the white juice flowed down her fingers. "Why didn't you tell me earlier, you stupid thing? Go down and get the board for me!"
After saying that, she felt something was wrong. Now Xia Bing was the girl she used easily. If he hurt her, wouldn't the next girl still be angry with her if she was clumsy?
But she couldn't get rid of her anger for a while, and held the corner of the table tightly with her hands.
Xia Bing had no choice but to speak to calm her anger: "I seem to have seen that black horse with white hair on its chest today. It was being led by a man with a scar face, but that man was mute and deaf."
Li Zhiyi's attention was immediately diverted.
