Chapter 704

Two quarters of an hour later, the two hungry people finally had a hot meal.

"Is this the capital?" Xie Mingyuan asked the old woman as he put food in his mouth.

The old woman waved her hand to show that she didn't know.

"Where do you live? Are you in the hospital, too?"

The old woman raised her finger to the outside of the yard and made two gestures to show that she lived not far away.

"Only yourself?"

Nod.

Xie Mingyuan sighed dejectedly.

"Thank you, old woman." seeing that Xie Mingyuan had finished eating, Wen Xiao took the initiative to get up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, "you have a rest, I'll come!"

Xie Mingyuan looked at the girl's back with dishes and chopsticks. A dark light crossed his eyes. His face hidden in the shadow was not real.

After seeing the old woman off, they thought about finding a high place to see where they were.

But as soon as they walked into the woods outside the yard, they felt something wrong.

"Why such a big fog..." Wen Xiao frowned and looked at the vast expanse of white in front of him. "Can't you tell the direction of this ghost place?"

"Reasonably speaking, there should not be such a thick fog this season," Xie Mingyuan touched his chin. "Is this a special means to prevent people from going in and out at will?"

After listening to Xie Mingyuan's words, Wen Xiao had some bad premonitions in his heart.

If this is really a means to prevent others from going in and out at will, they can't get out with their two salted fish.

The old lady came to cook for them regularly every day. Originally, they wanted to go out with the old woman, but they found that her place was very close to the small yard, with a vegetable field attached. The food materials she brought were just dug out from the ground, which was obviously self-sufficient.

They tried many ways, but the longest distance they could get out was only a few hundred meters, not to mention looking for a place with high terrain to check the situation nearby.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way," Xie Mingyuan comforted Wen Xiao by holding his shoulder. "Fortunately, you can eat three meals a day. You won't starve to death here."

Wen Xiao nodded, feeling very helpless.

Can we only wait for Yuanming to appear again before we have a chance to go out?

Xie Mingyuan saw that she was worried and slowed down her voice. "Don't worry, Yuan Ming has always been very purposeful. As long as he achieves his goal, we will naturally be released."

"But what is his purpose?" Wen Xiao looked at Xie Mingyuan. "Is it just to win over the Wen family and deal with the prince?"

"... maybe," Xie Mingyuan lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "I believe he won't hurt you. After all, you saved his life."

Wen Xiao skimmed his mouth, obviously not taking this statement to heart.

"There's nothing left or right to do. Let's go to the study to find some books to see if we can find a way to break the fog outside." Xie Mingyuan looked up and said with a smile, "when I went to the study to check, I saw several priceless orphans!"

Wen Xiao looked like an optimist and couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth.

The two men went into the study one after another, picked up a book and read it.

The afternoon was spent in each other's quiet breathing.

After Wen Xiao read half a book, sleepiness surged up. She yawned a little, leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and slept slowly.

When Xie Mingyuan looked up at her, the girl was already asleep.
