Chapter 267: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 10
Yun Yan looked at the woman in front of him helplessly. He couldn't beat her, and couldn't run away. "My name is Yun Yan, and I'm here to protect someone."
Chu Yuan let go of his hand and said, "That's good. My name is Chu Yuan, and I'm here to protect three people."
But before he could finish his words, the little guy ran away, leaving only his back in the distance.
Chu Yuan did not continue to chase. As far as she knew, there was no one else living in the inn except them today, so the person he wanted to protect must be among the exiled team.
Since everyone has the same destination, there will always be a chance to see each other again.
Moreover, Chu Yuan never does anything without preparation. In the brief moment when the two of them were in contact, a toxin had been injected into Yun Yan's body.
This kind of poison will not easily take a person's life, and it has no effect on the poisoned person's daily life. But as long as he does something that is not good for him, Chu Yuan can immediately activate the poison to paralyze his nerves and make him lose all ability to move.
Although he said that he was here to protect people, and Chu Yuan did not sense any murderous intent from him, there is always a chance of something happening, and Chu Yuan was preparing for this chance.
Yun Yan, who had already walked far away, did not notice anything unusual with his body. When he saw that the woman did not catch up with him, he found a big tree nearby and prepared to rest.
At this moment, he regretted very much. If he had known earlier, he would not have stolen his brother's token and ran away. If his brother had met this woman, he would definitely not be as embarrassed as he was.
Maybe I could even catch her and beat her up to vent my anger.
Alas, he didn't know when his brother would catch up. He didn't want to do this anymore. What did the life and death of the Lu family's orphan have to do with him?
Yun Yan turned over carefully, fearing that he would fall from the tree.
Feeling the rough branches beneath him scratching his delicate skin, Yun Yan almost couldn't hold back his tears. He had never suffered such hardship in his life. This damn weather was almost freezing him to death.
Why are we all here to protect people? That woman can sleep comfortably in the bed and even wants me to call her sister? No way.
Yun Yan fell asleep angrily. Before falling asleep, all he could think about was how he would make that woman suffer when his brother came.
Little did he know that he would soon become really fragrant.
The next morning, Xia Yu knocked on the door next door: "Mrs. Chu, are you awake? It's almost time to leave."
"You're awake, come in."
Xia Yu brought the nutritious breakfast that Chu Yuan took out from the space and placed it on the bedside table: "Master and Madam, please have your meal quickly. The officials downstairs have already called everyone up. I will send another portion to Master Lu."
To have a good breakfast, Chu Yuan prepared for them eight-treasure porridge and tea eggs that he packed from Modern Hotel, as well as a roujiamo, which was enough for them to eat their fill before they set off.
Of course, the same went for what she ate. Just as she was stuffing the roujiamo filled with braised pork into her mouth, a figure hanging upside down suddenly appeared by the window.
Chu Yuan was so scared that he bit his tongue and tears came out of his eyes because of the pain.
She opened the window angrily and looked at the culprit: "Hey, do you know that scaring others can kill them!"
Yun Yan took this opportunity to sneak into her room flexibly, holding the hem of her clothes tightly with her tender white hands: "Sister...Sister, can you give me something to eat?"
Seeing him calling her sister so pitifully, Chu Yuan's anger instantly disappeared. Wow, calling her a soft and cute little boy, that's too unfair.
Although he had already forgiven him in his heart, Chu Yuan was unwilling to forgive him: "Why, you were still refusing to obey yesterday, but today the sun is rising from the west?"
Yun Yan clenched his back teeth and kept telling himself to be careful with his attitude. After all, whether he could have breakfast today depended on this woman. Was he going to continue on his journey on an empty stomach?
I don’t know what I was thinking at the time. When I went out, I only remembered to steal the token. Why didn’t I think of bringing some silver with me?
It was all because his brother took such good care of him that he even forgot to bring money with him when he went out.
As for the person he was supposed to protect, he couldn't even count on him. It would be strange if he had any money on him.
So the hungry Yun Yan could only think of the woman from last night. She still had money to stay in the inn, so she could treat him to a meal or something. That should be okay.
And she seemed to be looking forward to him calling her sister. At worst, she could just make some sacrifice.
"I'm sorry, sister. I had a bad attitude yesterday."
Seeing him lower his head and look aggrieved, Chu Yuan's heart was already filled with maternal love: "Okay, I am generous and forgive you. I'll give you twenty copper coins. Go buy some food from the waiter."
When Yun Yan saw the money in his hand, he immediately smiled, said, "Thank you, sister," and climbed out the window.
Chu Yuan quickly finished the food in front of her, packed her bags and left. She had to walk in front of the exile team and eliminate all unfavorable factors.
By the time Yun Yan realized he had been cheated and wanted to come back to find her, the place was already empty.
He stamped his feet in grievance. He had already made such a great sacrifice, but that woman still wanted to bully him. This post station didn't have the porridge that smelled so sweet that she drank, nor did it sell the meat-filled pancakes.
Yun Yan had the twenty copper coins in his hand, but he couldn't spend them even if he wanted to. He could only spend three cents to buy a bowl of rice porridge and a dry biscuit to eat half full.
Chu Yuan rode his horse forward, looking for a place where a large number of people could rest.
The further south you go, the farther you are from the capital, and of course the worse the environment becomes. However, you can still occasionally see some shops soliciting passing travelers.
Chu Yuan found a tea shed as a place to rest at noon. It was sheltered from the wind, so the prisoners would not have to eat in the cold wind. There was also hot tea to warm their stomachs. It was really a rare and good place.
But precisely because of its geographical location, the prices at this tea shed are much more expensive than the ones Chu Yuan had seen before.
A pot of ordinary tea cost her twenty cents, not to mention some snacks.
But some money still needs to be spent. Anyway, there is plenty of gold and silver in Chu Yuan's space, so he doesn't care about this little bit.
Chu Yuan asked the waiter who sold tea to prepare some side dishes and serve ten pots of hot tea. There were a total of twenty officials accompanying him, which was just enough for two people to drink one pot.
But he was just asked to prepare temporarily. After all, with the exile's speed, it would take an hour or two to get here.
Chu Yuan began the boring waiting process again. It would be great if she had a mobile phone to kill time. There would be many more days of waiting like this in the future. It was only the second day and she couldn't stand it anymore.
