“So, we don’t have to do anything but wait?” Shu Ruyue asked.
“It’s not that we don’t have to do anything. We have to conserve our energy and prepare for a fierce battle tonight. Someone will definitely cause trouble tonight and we might be implicated.” Li Xiaoran said, “By the way, do you have any food on you? Also, we have to collect water!”
Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue shook their heads in embarrassment.
“I haven’t eaten for most of the day!”
“That’s right. I was only thinking about who to spar with and was planning to leave today, so why would I prepare food?!” Shu Ruyue said with an awkward expression.
After Luo Cheng thought for a moment, he looked at Li Xiaoran.
“Wife, give them two pancakes each and one cup of water each. No more!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and took out four pancakes from behind her before handing them to Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue.
Luo Cheng also poured two glasses of water and handed them to the two of them.
“We still have some pancakes, but not much. Make do with them to fill your stomachs and conserve your strength. We’ll probably be busy tonight!”
Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue’s stomachs growled even more when they smelled the aroma of the pancakes.
At this moment, the two of them couldn’t be bothered to be polite to Luo Cheng. After they took the pancakes and water, they wolfed them down.
It had to be said that after eating two pancakes, they felt invigorated.
“By the way, I remember now! Actually, there’s a place where there’s still food that wasn’t taken away by those soldiers!” After eating, Shu Ruyue’s mind lit up as she thought of something.
“Where? What’s the food?” the others asked in unison.
“I saw a pair of merchants pulling goods into the inn. At that time, I was very curious, so I paid attention. In the end, when the three carriages entered the courtyard at the back, they accidentally hit a stone. The carriage tilted and some things fell out. When I took a closer look, I saw that what fell out were actually several white steamed buns!” Shu Ruyue recalled carefully.
“At that time, I thought it was very strange. Who would carry white steamed buns in the carriage when they went out?! Now that I think about it, those people were really wise to bring food, since they definitely won’t go hungry!” Shu Ruyue said enviously.
When Luo Cheng heard Shu Ruyue’s words, he came to the window and looked down.
“But there’s no carriage in the backyard!”
When Shu Ruyue heard Luo Cheng’s words, she walked towards the window skeptically.
After she stuck her head out and looked down, she saw that the place where the carriage had been was empty.
“Could it be that those soldiers took these carriages away? Those merchants agreed?” Shu Ruyue frowned and asked in confusion.
“Did you notice that there were a few merchants in the inn just now?” Luo Cheng asked after a moment.
After Shu Ruyue thought about it carefully for a while, she shook her head.
“At that time, it was very chaotic and there were people everywhere, so it was impossible for me to see everyone clearly. Besides, those people might have been hiding in the inn room like you guys. I didn’t see them!”
Wu Qinghe’s eyes lit up when he heard their conversation.
“I can divine. I can divine if these steamed buns are still there, and if they are, where are they?!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran looked at Wu Qinghe in surprise.
She didn’t expect an inconspicuous person to have such an ability.
“Let’s try everything we can! Since we’re idle now, why don’t you try it?!” Shu
Ruyue said.
Luo Cheng also felt that giving it a try wasn’t a bad idea!
“Then let’s try!”
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Wu Qinghe came to the table and sat down. Then, he took out the copper coins he carried with him.
Soon, the divination came out.
Wu Qinghe carefully deciphered the divination and muttered something.
After half an hour, Wu Qinghe’s eyes lit up and he smiled.
“Hahahaha, the steamed buns are still there. Moreover, the owners of these steamed buns have been drugged. They’re probably among the people who fainted at the entrance of the inn. These people brought some steamed buns with them, and the remaining steamed buns are in their room, which is right next to your room!”
Shu Ruyue suddenly thought of something and looked at Wu Qinghe.
“The room where we just moved the unconscious people?”
“That’s right, it’s there! I really didn’t expect to find them so easily. Let’s go and get them now!” Wu Qinghe said.
“Wait, let’s go over together and move those people here. Then, we’ll move into that room!” Luo Cheng suddenly stopped Wu Qinghe and said, “Look at this door. It’s so useless and can’t even withstand the slightest blow!”
The others looked at the door. At this moment, everyone nodded in agreement.
So the four of them packed up and walked next door with their things.
Fortunately, when they moved the unconscious people previously, they didn’t move all of them to the same room, so it didn’t take much time to move them out.
With no one in the way, the four of them began to search the room carefully.
Soon, the four of them found several white steamed buns.
These steamed buns were hidden very well. If they didn’t search carefully, they wouldn’t be discovered.
In addition to these white steamed buns, they also found three pots of water.
The three pots of water were full and untouched.
Luo Cheng checked the steamed buns and the water in the kettle. After confirming that there were no problems, he collected the food.
“There are actually many empty rooms in the inn. I think we should change to another room to hide in! This room gives me a bad feeling!” Li Xiaoran suddenly said.
When Wu Qinghe heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately took out his copper coins.
This time, Wu Qinghe’s expression changed drastically when the divination appeared.
“That’s right. We can’t stay in this room. Let’s leave quickly! This is a location of great danger. Let’s look for a room in the south. If we can find a suitable one, hide over there! That’s where the chance of survival is!”
After hearing Wu Qinghe’s words, the four of them packed up again. With the steamed buns and kettle they had just obtained, they began to look for the next room to hide in.
Fortunately, they finally found an empty room in the south.
After the four of them went in, they quickly closed the door and windows.
Luo Cheng even sprinkled some powder on the door and window.
“You’ve already taken the antidote before, so for 24 hours, you don’t have to be afraid of my powder!”
