Chapter 552 Sleeping in the open, love
"Okay. Qin Wentang wanted to refuse, but for some reason, the pleading in Jia Yuanchun's eyes made him unbearable to speak.
He was going to Jiling City, and taking her was just a stop, so he didn't think it was too troublesome.
It's just that he has been adrift all his life, and he has never walked with a girl, and he hesitated a little after agreeing. looked at Jia Yuanchun, and saw that she was very different from before now, and even her speech was gentle and soft. Jia Yuanchun seemed to have made up her mind to go to Jiling City, even if he didn't agree, she would definitely find a way to go. These young ladies in Beijing are all like blank sheets of paper, they have no experience in running the rivers and lakes, and when the time comes, it will make people's conscience uneasy if they are deceived.
Qin Wentang didn't know how surprised and excited Jia Yuanchun was by his decision, she almost jumped up, and couldn't help hugging his arm: "Did you really agree? Great, Qin Gongzi, you are really too good!"
"However, I am a rough man, and if there is anything abrupt on the road, don't be surprised. Qin Wentang had difficulty riding a tiger, so he said all the rules: "When we arrive at Jiling City, we will part ways." I remember that you are a friend of Princess Ling, Princess Ling is my little sister, and I don't need you to return the silver. It's just that on the road, everything has to listen to me. โ
"Okay, I'll listen to you. She was so excited that she nodded her head like a peck of rice.
Qin Wentang sighed, and since then, the two have walked together.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Qin Wentang looked at Jia Yuanchun, and he couldn't make up his mind whether to hire a carriage or not.
Jia Yuanchun said: "The academy teaches riding and archery classes, and I can ride a horse. Childe came on horseback, and I also came on horseback, so please don't worry about me. โ
"I am from the rivers and lakes, and I don't pay attention to the rich and noble people in your capital when I go out, most of the time we live in the wilderness, if you feel bitter, don't be wronged and force yourself. Qin Wentang was not at ease, and added: "When the time comes, if you get sick, that's the real trouble." Walking the rivers and lakes, illness is a very dangerous thing, it is easy to be taken advantage of by others, and it is very likely that you will lose your wealth at least and lose your life at worst. Can you stand it?"
"I can. Jia Yuanchun showed a wry smile in his eyes.
In her eyes now, these flesh and skin sufferings are nothing, and the soul is tormented, which is the real suffering!
What Qin Wentang said was true, after the two prepared dry food and water, they continued to set off to the northwest. Out of Pu New Town, outside the city is a dense forest, this forest stretches for hundreds of miles, hundreds of miles of almost no people, the two of them have been on the road until it is completely dark, but they have walked less than halfway.
The mountain road is bumpy, and there is no way to compare it with the official road, and the bumps on horseback can be imagined.
Qin Wentang felt that the roots of his legs were sore, and he secretly looked at Jia Yuanchun several times, her face was a little haggard, and she pursed her lower lip, obviously she had been patient, but she didn't open her mouth to stop.
When he dismounted at night, Qin Wentang saw that she was slow to move, and when he stepped forward to ask, Jia Yuanchun blushed and said, "My legs are wooden, and I can't move." โ
"Offended. Qin Wentang was stunned, stepped forward and grabbed her waist, picked her off the horse, and put her on the flat ground.
As soon as Jia Yuanchun moved, she felt that the root of her leg hurt so badly that her tears almost hurt out, she clenched her teeth and was stunned to shed a single tear.
It's just that when he was hugged by Qin Wentang, his cheeks were crimson, and he felt very embarrassed.
Qin Wentang was even more embarrassed than her, and as soon as Jia Yuanchun landed, he withdrew his hand: "You sit here and rest for a while, roasting the fire." I'll go find a flat place and pick up some firewood by the way. โ
Jia Yuanchun nodded, watching Qin Wentang burrow into the woods, her eyes staring at the flames in a trance.
After a while, she slowly got up, moved her steps and found some dry firewood around Qin Wentang's fire, and burned the firewood a little stronger. Then he looked around to see if there were any wild fruits to eat in the mountains at this time. At this time, it was not long after the beginning of spring, she naturally couldn't find anything, and she didn't dare to go too far, for fear that there would be some beasts in the jungle, Qin Wentang's help, she couldn't help, she didn't dare to make trouble for the other party, so she sat by the fire and waited obediently.
Qin Wentang went not long ago, and when he came back, he still had a pheasant at hand.
He smiled: "I just met, let's not eat flatbread tonight, I'll make you roast chicken." You're afraid you haven't eaten it. โ
Jia Yuanchun asked curiously, "Have you found a place to sleep?"
"There is a col not far ahead, there are stones on three sides, the place is quite flat, let's go there to rest after eating, it is enough to light a fire, and it will be warm if the wind does not blow. Qin Wentang seemed to be in a good mood, and replied with a smile: "It's a little damp, let's bring these coals over and spread them on the ground later, and then spread hay when the coals are extinguished, so it won't be cold." It's not as comfortable as an inn, but it's not enough to make you cry on the first night. โ
Jia Yuanchun amused him, and he was a little less sad: "I won't cry!"
"Okay, I'm out of sight. Qin Wentang walked with her for a day, and he was already acquainted, so he joked with her.
Jia Yuanchun was not angry, seeing that he skillfully plucked a pheasant, walked to the side of the stream to rinse it, took out a small bottle from his arms and sprinkled some powder on the chicken, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
"Salt and pepper. Qin Wentang explained in a short cut: "When you go out, how much silver you bring is fake, if you don't have salt, you won't eat anything fragrant." Pepper powder can enhance the flavor, sprinkle a little on the grilled meat, and keep it so fragrant that your tongue and head will bite off. โ
As he spoke, he skewered the pheasant on a thick piece of wood and roasted it on the fire.
Jia Yuanchun experienced this kind of life for the first time, there were countless questions to ask, Qin Wentang was patient, and the experience of walking the rivers and lakes was even richer, the two chatted and roasted, gradually, the chicken skin turned golden, and the tempting fragrance spread from the fire. Jia Yuanchun walked for such an afternoon, he didn't eat anything, so he drank some water, he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he stared at the roast chicken with a pair of eyes, and finally waited for Qin Wentang to say that he could eat it, and his hand immediately stretched out.
"Be careful of burning!" Qin Wentang hurriedly stopped her hand: "Don't look at the chicken skin without any oil, it's actually hot, you have to wait for a while." โ
He took the roast chicken to his side and stood up, took out a dagger and drew a few lines vertically on the chicken, only to see a few puffs of heat spurting out of the chicken. He waited for a while, shaved off the chicken legs, wrapped them in clean leaves, and handed them to Jia Yuanchun: "Okay." Now it's really ready to eat. Let's see if you can get used to it!"
Jia Yuanchun was stunned.
She looked at Qin Wentang directly, pursed her lips slightly, the firelight flickered, and there were tears in her eyes.
It's been more than two years since she was charged with a broom star, and no one has shown such a smile to her, let alone such a warm and caring for her. She listened to Qin Wentang's warm voice and looked at his friendly smiling face, something kept emerging in her heart.
took the chicken leg handed over by Qin Wentang and took a small bite gently, and the aroma of barbecue seemed to spread from his mouth to the bottom of his heart.
"Are you used to eating?" Qin Wentang asked with a smile.
Jia Yuanchun nodded: "I'm used to eating." It was the best food I've had in two years. โ
Qin Wentang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and cut off the other chicken leg as well, wrapped it in leaves and put it in front of her: "Then you eat more." The next road is not easy, you have to keep your spirits up. โ
"You eat this. Jia Yuanchun was even more moved when he saw that he kept the good part for himself, and hurriedly pushed the chicken leg over.
Qin Wentang pushed it to her again: "It's all the same." Let's eat, and when we're done, we'll move to the col to rest. โ
Jia Yuanchun no longer shirked, she was really hungry, one chicken leg was eaten quickly, and the other chicken leg was also eaten, still feeling not full. Qin Wentang tore another piece of wing root with her, and she felt that her stomach was not very empty. Qin Wentang took care of her, and when she ate first, she took advantage of Qin Wentang's eating, and consciously filled the kettle of the two with stream water, and when Qin Wentang finished eating, one person led a horse to the side of the col and rekindled the fire.
No matter how Jia Yuanchun can endure it, after all, she was pampered and grew up, and she slept very unsteadily at night, and soon woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Wentang next to the fire leaning on the stone with her sword and closing her eyes, her heart trembled suddenly, and tears came out of her eyes.
Recently, the spring rain has been continuous, and the amount of hay scavenged in the mountains is not much, Qin Wentang only laid a small piece of land, and just then she turned over after falling asleep, and she had already occupied his place.
If you were another man, she might not care that she was a woman and take advantage of her, but the person in front of her was such a gentleman, which made her awe-inspiring at the same time, and at the same time, she felt that it was really an extremely happy thing to be taken care of by someone so carefully and properly. It is said that small things see character, Qin Wentang's character is many times stronger than those who claim to be gentlemen in the capital!
She looked down and saw that she was covered with Qin Wentang's black cloak, he was only wearing a single coat, and it must be uncomfortable for the mountain wind to blow. She remembered to put on it for him, and as soon as she moved, Qin Wentang opened her eyes.
Jia Yuanchun was a little at a loss with the cloak, but Qin Wentang smiled first: "You cover it, it's cold at night." โ
"You're wearing less than I am. Jia Yuanchun shook his head.
Qin Wentang said: "I am a person who practices martial arts, so I don't think there is anything cold about this." The jungle here is a bit dense, and I'm afraid of wolves, so I got up to keep vigil. Sleep quickly, and don't feel uncomfortable when you have enough energy to travel tomorrow. Of course, if you feel that you don't want to go, you will come to guard in the second half of the night, and I will go to rest. โ
Jia Yuanchun was skeptical, as soon as she heard that there was a wolf, her hair stood up first: "There will be a wolf?"
"It's just possible. Qin Wentang comforted: "Even if there is, it's nothing, the fire is lit, and the beasts don't dare to come, don't be afraid." โ
"You're here, I'm not afraid. Jia Yuanchun said subconsciously.
Qin Wentang smiled slightly: "Sleep, I'll call you in the second half of the night." โ
