Chapter 248

[I heard that the prince was ill because the two young masters were angry with him. He was so angry that he couldn't travel.

He couldn't leave, so neither could we. We had no choice but to stay at the inn outside Huixi Town and wait for him to get better. We had already been waiting for two days.

This is not fun at all. We can't go anywhere or move around. We just sit there all day with nothing to do.

Unlike back home, where I could always do something to pass the time, there were too many people here, the place was too small, and there was too little work to do, so it was very boring.

The travel notes I brought with me were not very interesting. I should have borrowed two more.

Eunuch Chen said that all the books in the Imperial Capital Bookstore can be rented, and you can finish reading a book with just a few copper coins, which is much cheaper than buying them. I really want to go and take a look.

I don’t know when the prince will get better.

In fact, I think the prince could be more open-minded. They are all things with wings. What's the difference between a phoenix and a chicken? It's just that one is big and the other is small. At most, you can just buy a few more. The coachman is right. It's better to have something than nothing.

Why be so serious? If someone doesn't like him, will he like him just because he gave him a gift?

If so, then he must be lying.

—October 19, the ninth year of Tianji

(Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the two messengers were very annoying. They were either yelling about hurrying up or drinking and asking for this and that. They didn't care at all whether the prince could leave or not. Those who were usually high and mighty had to explain to them in gentle words, asking them to wait a little longer, as if they were begging them.

Eunuch Chen said that they were the emperor's personal guards and it was difficult to offend them, so everyone acted like this.

He also asked me and Yundou to be careful and not to provoke them.

But the prince is the emperor's uncle. Can a guard offend his uncle?

I wanted to know so badly that I asked, but Eunuch Chen slapped me twice and told me to shut up and not say anything about it.

It hurt so much that my hand was swollen for a long time.

Eunuch Zhang wouldn't be like that. I kind of miss him! )]

The child sighed, put down the pen, and rubbed his palms sadly.

If you can't say it, then you can't. Why hit people?

She will learn her lesson even if you scold her a few times.

Kidney Bean poked his head in from the car window and asked, "Have you finished writing? Come out quickly. I found something interesting and I'll show you."

"Wait a minute, I'll be there soon!" The child responded quickly. Feeling that the ink was almost dry, he closed the notebook, tied it up, and put it into his pouch.

She had come up with this notebook over the past two days. She cut the paper and used the awl and needle and thread borrowed from Yundou to sew the notebooks into volumes, making them easy to carry and not messy.

It's a bit rougher than the books sold, but it's pretty good for my use.

The child also gave me a book called Kidney Beans.

She knew a few words, but not many, and since she had free time, she might as well learn a few more.

Otherwise, when she reads travelogues, the children have to read to her, and she complains that the children read without emotion...

The child's emotions are all in his heart, and they just won't come out of his throat. What can the child do? He can only quarrel with Yundou and tell her to go away. If you don't like to listen, I'm too lazy to read.

Yundou was also very stubborn and said, "You can study or not. I knew it was so boring for you, but I wouldn't listen even if you paid me."

Child:……

Come to think of it, the travelogue is probably still interesting, but it's just a little unpleasant episode that makes it seem boring...

After packing up, the child jumped out of the car.

Yundou immediately pulled her up and walked around to the back of the barn, pointing to the gap in the mud wall and saying, "Look."

"What's so good about a gap? I'm not a bricklayer, how can I fill it up?" The child was suddenly shocked and looked at Yundou with a puzzled look and said, "You don't want to climb out to play?"

"What are you talking about? I'm not stupid," Yundou rolled his eyes and pulled her forward, saying, "I asked you to lie down here and look out."

The child approached doubtfully.

The gap was quite high, and she stepped on a few broken bricks.

As soon as she stood up, Yindou squeezed in and asked her to move to the side to make room for her. The child moved to the side and both of them were hanging on the earthen wall.

Kidney Bean pointed to the stream outside and said, "Look there."

The child looked at her in silence for a long time before asking her.

"Even if you were born in the city, you've seen water before. What's so good about this? And you have to do it so secretly."

When the children first arrived, they saw that this stream was indeed different from the others.

A normal stream would definitely flow downstream, but this one flows upstream.

So the locals call it Huixi.

There may be some reason for this, but the local officials cannot explain it clearly. After all, they are not native here. Only the postmaster and the postman can say a few words, but their explanation is quite vague.

Just some odd stories.

Some said it was because there was a lack of water upstream, so the gods used magic to divert the mountain stream into the creek, and then flow upstream so that the people could have water to irrigate their fields. Some said it was the work of monsters. Still others said it was because someone swore a solemn oath that he would not do anything unless the creek flowed backwards, and then the creek flowed backwards.

There are so many stories without a beginning or an end, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

The postmaster said that if you want to know these things, you have to ask the oldest man in the town, and maybe you can find out something.

But the prince and his men didn't really want to know, so they didn't bother.

The child and Yundou wanted to know, but they couldn't go out. If nothing happened, it would be best not to even leave the inn.

The stream was right in front of them, but they could only take a look at it under the pretext of fetching water. At first glance... there was nothing special.

So when Yundou asked her to watch it, the child didn't understand what was there to watch.

"Who asked you to look at the water? I asked you to look at people."

There was no one on the stream.

The child said, "There is no one, not even a ghost."

Yundou said seriously, "Wait a while and you'll find one. I saw him yesterday. It was a boy about our age. He stayed by the stream for a long time, looking for something. The postman at the post station said that the boy has been coming here every day for almost half a year. He runs away when you question him, and no one knows what he's doing. Let's wait a while, and when he comes, we can go out and catch him."

Yundou's tone sounded like he was trying to catch a hare. If it were a hare, it wouldn't be a big deal, but that was a living person...

Child: “Why are you arresting him?”

"Just ask him what he's looking for," Yundou said mysteriously. "You've heard so many stories, but you haven't found anything. A strange place like this, with all its legends, must have something else. He might be looking for some treasure, but he hasn't found it. If we find out, we can help him look for it, and we can even get a share of the spoils."

The children were also moved by it, but...

"How do you know he's looking for treasure? What if he's not? Besides, he's been looking for it for half a year and hasn't found it. Do you think we can find it?"

"If it's not, then just treat it as a joke. Besides, I can't do this kind of thing, but you might not. After all, you are an alien. Don't you have some amazing skills that you can use to find things?"

Kidney Bean asked.

Seeing how serious she was, the child could only fake a smile: "So you think so highly of me?"

Kidney Bean also gave a fake smile: "I'm just prepared to get nothing."

The child would not accept her words: "If there really is some monster or fairy that left traces of spiritual energy or demonic energy, I might try to look for it, but it's best not to, otherwise I will cause trouble and may even lose my life."

Yundou waved his hands and said, "You don't even need to tell me that. If that were the case, I would ride on you."

The child seemed to have heard something strange, but before he could ask her what it meant.

Yundou grabbed her and pulled her down, whispering, "Be careful, he's coming, don't get caught."
