2202 Are You Looking For Mr. Di? (1/2)
As soon as Gu Xijiu opened her eyes, she realized that she was dreaming just moments ago about going to heaven. She remembered that she was looking for someone. Also, there was something about a mission.
She raised her head and rubbed her temples to calm herself down. Her intuition told her that those were her memories. Therefore, to get her memories back, she had to remember the dream. However, it was all scattered and too blurry for her to recall everything at once.
Di Fuyi once told her that the time would come for her memories to come back to her; so, she should not pressure herself too much. Too much stress would not do anything good to her brain, anyway.

She rose and cleaned herself up. Then, she went and knocked on the door of the room beside hers. After a while, there was still no answer from the room. Puzzled, she could not help but wonder if he had left the city.
Even if he had to go, Gu Xijiu assumed that he would have told her about it first. She tried to push the door open by force, but it remained shut. Was he still resting in the room?
”Miss Gu, are you looking for Mr. Di?” Politely, the owner of the place approached her from the staircase.
”Yes.”
”He left before dusk. However, he did leave you a message before he went, asking you to take care of the people and that he would return in three days.”
She was not aware of his early departure. Certainly, she was not expecting him to leave so swiftly without even telling her.
”The door seems to be locked from the inside. Could there be an intruder in his room?” Gu Xijiu fixed her eyes at the locked door.
”Before Mr. Di left, he made a reservation for these two rooms, one for you and another one for him. He must have placed some special mechanism on that door so that outsiders cannot go in. There is nothing to worry about, miss,” the owner reassured her.
Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief. ”I see. I was worried that someone might have invaded his room.”
Food was provided for Gu Xijiu at the tavern. After breakfast, she returned to the place where the villagers stayed. As soon as she arrived, she realized that something was not right. Most of the villagers were absent. Only three people stayed behind; they were all elders.
The three elders saw her coming and felt as if hope had returned to them.
