Chapter 458: Chasing Desperately
Several people took a short rest at the official post station, and Shitou couldn't help but ask, "I wonder where Miss Gu is now?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, "She shouldn't be fast. She can't change horses at the official post station. She can only run for half an hour at most and have to rest. She can't travel after dark. Excluding the rest time, she can only travel for three or four hours a day at most, and can only run more than 200 miles."
"She set out late yesterday, so she shouldn't have walked far. By this evening, she can only run about 400 miles at most."
"So, we must catch up with her today."
Shitou said bitterly, "It's not difficult to catch up, I'm just afraid that we will miss Miss Gu."
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "We won't miss her. We will definitely meet her."
Then Xiao Yu got on the horse, and Shitou and Zhuzi followed quickly.
Xiao Yu and his friends hardly stopped along the way. Except for the half-hour lunch at the post station, they drank water, changed horses, and then got on the horse and continued to run.
Shitou and Zhuzi were exhausted. Even when they were marching in battle, they had never run without stopping.
After running for a whole day, at 6pm, they stopped at a post station. Shitou calculated in his mind that they had run for nearly five hours and more than 300 miles today.
Shitou got off the horse, thinking that he could rest, but Xiao Yu took out some dry food and started to eat it. While eating, he said, "Eat the dry food and keep going. She won't be too far away from us."
He drank a sip of water and said, "Next, go and ask all the inns along the way. It would be best if we can find her tonight."
Shitou and Zhuzi looked at each other and ate the dry food with bitter faces.
After eating the dry food and changing horses, they continued on their way.
At this time, it was already dark. Fortunately, there was a moon tonight, so they could barely see the road, but their speed was greatly slowed down.
Not far away, they saw a light on inn on the roadside. Xiao Yu stopped his horse and said, "Go and ask if Miss Gu is staying here."
Shitou dismounted and went in to ask. The shopkeeper flipped through the registration book and shook his head, "There is no guest named Gu."
The few people continued to move forward.
They walked and stopped for dozens of miles and passed several inns along the way, but they couldn't find it. It was already the middle of the night.
They saw another inn in the distance, with a string of lanterns hanging on the roadside.
Shitou didn't need Xiao Yu to say anything. He dismounted in front of the inn and went in to find the shopkeeper.
He kept chanting in his heart, begging God to find Miss Gu quickly. He really couldn't bear it.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a girl named Gu staying here?"
The shopkeeper yawned, "Wait, let me flip through the book."
People at this time didn't have any ** to say, and everyone used this stupid method to find people.
The shopkeeper flipped through it, "Hey, there really is a girl named Gu."
Shitou was overjoyed and snatched the book to take a look. Sure enough, the name registered was Gu Fei!
Shitou grabbed the book and ran out, "My Lord, I found it. Miss Gu is here."
Xiao Yu jumped off his horse quickly, ran in, glanced at the book, and stared at the shopkeeper, "Where is she?"
The shopkeeper was startled by his eyes and pointed upstairs, "Room No. 2 of Tianzi."
Xiao Yu strode upstairs.
When he reached the door of Room No. 2 of Tianzi, Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks.
A dim light shone through the crack of the door.
Xiao Yu stood at the door, thinking that Gu Fei was inside, and was a little dazed for a while.
