Chapter 3 Overnight in the Wilderness

Zhao Qiankun led the donkey and carried Helen all the way, and he couldn't get faster. He walked until the sun set, but only walked a hundred miles. Zhao Qiankun expanded the map, and there was no village in front and shop behind. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, there was no place to settle down.

In the wilderness night, I really couldn't see my five fingers. Zhao Qiankun was fine, but Helen was a little scared, with her big eyes wide open and she looked around in horror.

"Or... let's find a place to stay..." The little princess's voice trembled a little.

Zhao Qiankun raised his hand and pointed it, a ball of fire ignited from his palm, then floated up, and divided into four surrounds the two of them.

The first-level magic of fire, the fire of light, and the primary magic used for lighting, are only able to ignite flames in the palm of your hand and continuously output magic power to maintain it. To Zhao Qiankun, one that can escape from the palm of your hand and divide it into four parts, is a very advanced application technique.

With the firelight beside him, Helen seemed less afraid, but she really needed to rest late at night. The two of them walked for a while, but Zhao Qiankun had good eyesight and vaguely saw something at the end of a forked path in front. Old Zhao raised his hand, and a ball of light fire flew to the end of the road, reflecting a house.

"Someone!" Helen shouted happily: "Let's go and spend the night!"

"How come there is such a grand house in this deep mountain forest?" Zhao Qiankun stroked his chin, his tone of doubt.

"It must be a different courtyard!" Helen smiled and said, "Our royal family will also build villas in the wild! Go quickly and go quickly. It's getting darker and darker. Who knows if something terrible will come out..."

"Okay!" Zhao Qiankun led the donkey to the front of the door of the house, and saw a plaque hanging on the beam with two words written on it: "Zhu Mansion".

"What is this written?" The little princess can say a few words in the words of Dazhou, but she doesn't know many words.

"This is a family named Zhu!" Zhao Qiankun raised his hand to extinguish several balls of light fires and knocked on the door.

Soon, the sound of tiny footsteps came, the door opened, and a beautiful lady with a beautiful figure and lantern was walked out.

"What are the two?"

"This sister, we are travelers to Xidu. We pass by here in the middle of the night and have nowhere to stay. We want to stay here for a stay!"

"That's it..." The lady looked at the two of them and smiled sweetly: "Look at you, come in with me!"

"Thank you!" Zhao Qiankun planned to tie the donkey to the door, and the woman said, "No need to worry, let's bring it in together, there are stables in the yard..."

"Then the relationship is good!" Zhao Qiankun led the donkey and followed the woman into the yard. An old servant came over. The woman ordered: "Uncle Wu, this is the guest who is here to complain. Take the donkey out of the horse's house and add some grass..."

The old servant nodded and took the donkey away, while Zhao Qiankun and Helen followed the woman to the inner courtyard.

"I haven't asked my sister about her name Gao? How many people are there in the family?" Zhao Qiankun talked to the woman on the way.

"Don't call me sister. My surname is Zhu and my name is Xiaosi. Just call me Xiaosi!" Zhu Xiaosi replied with a smile: "My father died early in the family, and only my mother and two sisters. Fortunately, he was taken care of by his loyal servant Wu, otherwise many things would be inconvenient for a few female relatives..."

"Oh, I don't know either!" Zhao Qiankun slapped his thigh: "Since they are all female relatives, how can we stay overnight..."

"It's okay!" Zhu Xiaosi smiled and said, "I don't think you two look like bad guys either. Moreover, they are remote and there are no guests. When you come, your mother and sister will be very happy!"

While talking, several people had already walked into the living room, where a middle-aged beautiful woman and two beautiful girls were sitting. Zhu Xiaosi stepped forward and introduced: "Mother, these two are travelers who are here to stay..."

"Oh, it's so late, it's definitely not easy to leave in the wilderness..." The beautiful woman walked up, "Don't worry, you two live here. Haven't eaten yet. Xiao Si, there are some refreshments in the kitchen, go and get them for the two guests!"

Zhu Xiaosi agreed and walked out, but Zhao Qiankun waved his hand and said, "No need to worry, we are not hungry, just have a place to sleep!"

"How can that be done!" The beautiful woman waved her hand and said, "You are a guest when you come, don't neglect it!"

While talking, Xiao Si had already brought the snacks, which were a pastry that two people had never seen before. It was exquisitely shaped, steaming, and exuded a sweet smell...

After only gnawing some hard food along the way, Princess Helen drooled as soon as she saw it: "Thank you so much, we have met a good person..." As she said that, she raised her hand and was about to catch her.

Bang! Zhao Qiankun slapped Helen's back hand, and the little princess retracted her hand in pain.

"How can you educate you at home? How can you eat people's food at will!" Zhao Qiankun scolded. The little princess felt very wronged, but she still had to rely on Zhao Qiankun to protect her along the way, and she didn't dare to complain if she had any hardships.

"Oh, don't be so strict!" The beautiful woman walked up, picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into Helen's hand. Zhu Xiaosi and the two sisters also advised: "It's so late, the road is bumpy, so eating is easy to rest..."

"You're welcome!" Zhao Qiankun grabbed the beautiful woman's hand, coughed gently, and a faint flame turned in his throat and then took it back.

The beautiful woman was stunned and smiled and took back her snacks: "Since I don't want to eat, forget it... Xiao Si, clean up a room for the two guests and let them rest early..."

"Oh...oh!" Zhu Xiaosi nodded hesitantly and led Zhao Qiankun and Helen away.

"The furnishings here are simple, I hope you don't dislike them!" Zhu Xiaosi opened a wing room and Helen glanced at it. The decoration in the house was quite exquisite. Although it was not as good as the palace, it could be seen that it was also very comfortable. It was naturally very satisfactory to have such a place to live in the wilderness.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, thank you sister..." The little princess said thanking her in a not-so-skilled Dazhou dialect.

"You're welcome..." Xiao Si nodded: "If you have anything, you can call us at any time, so I won't disturb you to rest..." After that, he closed the door and left.

"I can finally have a sleep..." Helen just climbed into bed and suddenly realized a problem. This house has only one big bed...

This was a bit embarrassing. Helen looked at Zhao Qiankun: "How about you go find them again to ask for a room. I think it is quite spacious and there should be free rooms..."

"No need!" Zhao Qiankun took off his clothes and laughed: "I think this is pretty good. We can sleep together!"

"Who wants to sleep with you, a stinky hooligan!" Helen shrank to the corner: "Don't come over, come over again and I'll call someone!"

"Look, I scared you!" Zhao Qiankun laughed, picked up the quilt on the bed, shook it twice, and threw it back to the bed: "You sleep in the big bed by yourself, I'll just lay it on the floor! As he said that, he spread his coat on the ground and lie on the ground..."

"How uncomfortable that is!" Helen said: "They must have an empty room..."

"It's not bad!" Zhao Qiankun yawned: "It's the same on the bed and on the ground. Go to bed early and you're still on the way tomorrow!"

After saying that, Zhao Qiankun lay on the ground and snored.

He slept soundly, and the little princess couldn't sleep. She had never spent the same room with a man in the same room as her. Even if she wasn't in the same bed, she couldn't sleep well when she heard the snoring.

Helen didn't dare to take off her clothes, lying on the bed, covered herself with a quilt, and thought about it all in her mind. Before she knew it, she was confused and entered a state of half-sleeping and half-awake.
