Chapter 69: Travel

Wind and snow are rare in Changning Town in winter, but as time goes by, the climate is getting colder and colder.

There had been two light snowfalls in the town in the last two days, and the snowflakes had fallen quietly during the night, and then melted again before dawn the next day, leaving almost no trace of the snow except for the occasional white glimpse from the treetops of the rooftops.

Aunt Wei's tofu stall has always been placed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year over the years, and although the weather has been cold these days, it has not delayed her from setting up a stall to sell tofu. Naturally, after coming back from Wei Lai, these tofu were replaced by her, and Aunt Wei would not be very tired just setting up a stall.

Early in the morning, Wei Lai habitually woke up early. She had to get up to do things at home, and she had to get up to practice in the barracks, but she never had the habit of lying in bed, so as soon as she woke up, she turned over and sat up. Then in just a moment, the cool air outside penetrated into her warm quilt, and the cold hit, and the strong temperature difference made her shiver unconsciously.

It seems to be colder today!

Wei Lai rubbed his arms, quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and then put on the clothes that had been frozen cold. By the time she opened the door and went out, it was still early, and the distant sky was just a touch of fish belly white, and if she moved quickly, she could have made the tofu before dawn.

Making tofu and selling tofu has been the daily routine of the Wei family for so many years, and Wei Lai didn't think that being a general could stop doing these things if he had spare money, but Aunt Wei was old after all, and she was really not suitable to go out to set up a stall and blow cold wind in this weather recently.

Wei Lai was thinking about finding an opportunity to temporarily close his business in the past two days, and walked to the kitchen, planning to boil some hot water to wash up. As soon as I walked under the eaves outside the kitchen, my forehead bumped into something, it didn't hurt, I just felt cold, and then I heard a crisp sound of "pop", and something fell on the ground and shattered.

At this time, it was still dark outside, and Wei Lai couldn't see what was on the ground, but this was the home she had lived in for many years, and she could guess what the broken thing on the ground was just by thinking about it.

Standing at the kitchen door stunned for a second, Wei Lai immediately came to his senses. She pushed open the kitchen door, found a fire breaker and lit it, and then looked at the ground, and sure enough, she saw that an ice cube had been broken and fell to the ground. Looking up at the eaves again, there were indeed seven or eight ice cubes hanging on it, and they were exceptionally crystal clear under the firelight.

No wonder it was so cold this morning, it was the coldest time of the year in Qizhou.

Such cold weather has always been the most difficult for ordinary people, but today Wei was quite happy to see those ice lings. She asked He Zhi to go out to play a few days ago, but then she thought that the season was not right, and the surrounding places that were suitable for playing were almost not suitable for winter at this time, and she couldn't think of where to take people for a while, so this matter was delayed.

Now that she was looking at the ice cubes, she thought of a place to go.

*****************************************************************

Mrs. Wei's tofu stall has been officially closed since this day, because Wei Lai didn't make tofu that morning, and Mrs. Wei's tofu stall naturally didn't have to sell. Of course, according to Wei Lai's statement: The weather has been cold recently, and my mother's health is not good, so this stall is really not suitable for display.

For this, Aunt Wei is indispensable, Wei Lai has come back completely, and she doesn't have to wait in the town for a day, so it's okay to rest for a while. What's more, she also understands that Wei Lai has been used to accompany her these days, and Miss He came to this town as a guest, but she was a little neglected, which is really against hospitality.

So after getting up in the morning, Wei Lai told her that she would not set up a stall today, and Aunt Wei nodded lightly in agreement. After that, Wei said that she wanted to go out with Miss He, and Aunt Wei prepared breakfast without saying a word, and took the initiative to urge the two to go out for a walk after the meal.

It wasn't until she put on a thick fox fur cloak and was led out of the gate of Wei's house by Wei Lai that He Zhi came effectively after realizing it - Wei Lai asked her to go out to play a few days ago, but she somehow didn't follow up after she agreed, looking at today's posture, but it was General Xiao Wei who finally remembered?

Although it was sudden, He Zhi did not refuse to travel with Wei Lai, even if the weather was really bad recently. So she didn't do anything in advance, just turned her head and asked Wei Lai: "Where are we going?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Lai raised his head and looked into the distance, his gaze directly passed through the town that was becoming more and more depressed in winter, and landed on the mountain peak hidden in the depths of the clouds and mist in the distance: "Let's go to the mountain and have a look." ”

"Up the mountain?!" He Zhi was slightly surprised. This kind of weather is not suitable for travel, let alone climbing.

Wei Lai nodded, but didn't explain more, just said, "Wait for me for a while" and went back to the small courtyard. After a while, she led her war horse back from Beizhou and came out: "The road is far away, let's ride over." ”

After that, without waiting for He Zhi to reply, she had already turned over and rode on the back of the horse neatly, and then bent down and stretched out a hand to He Zhi - whether it was her tone or her movements, it was so natural that people couldn't afford to oppose it at all.

Sure enough, He Zhi only pursed her lips slightly, and then stretched out her hand and put it on Wei Laitan's hand.

Even though the weather was cold, Wei Lai's hands were still warm, and the warm feeling made people feel nostalgic for a moment. Then in the next moment, the warm hand became strong, firmly grasped He Zhi's hand, and pulled the whole person onto the horse's back.

In order to keep warm, He Zhi was wearing a thick fox fur cloak today, which was naturally not suitable for sitting in front. Wei Lai didn't force it, and directly pulled the person down and sat behind him. It's just that in this way, although it is impossible to take the person into his arms, He Zhi had to take the initiative to reach out and grab Wei Lai's clothes in order to sit firmly on horseback.

The clothes behind her tightened, Wei Lai looked down and saw He Zhi firmly grasping her coat with a pair of small hands. So General Xiao Wei immediately put on a serious look, but he reached out and pulled Miss He's hand around his waist, and said seriously: "After a while, the horse will run, and the clothes can't be pulled." ”

He Zhi is not very good at riding horses, and this is the first time she has ridden with someone. Wen Yan raised his head and stared at Wei twice, only to see that the other party's face was full of seriousness, so he didn't say anything more, and honestly followed Wei Lai's meaning and wrapped his arms around her waist.

The corners of Wei Lai's mouth moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything. After He Zhi was settled, she turned her head, and her face was serious from beginning to end. It's just that at the moment when he turned around and left He Zhi's sight, the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

The legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse under him obediently took a step, "da-da" towards the distant mountains.
