Chapter 46: Husband and wife
At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, Wei Lai's eyesight was good, and the little firelight in the distance had never escaped her eyes. XS520. Looking up again, sure enough, there were a few families scattered on the halfway of a hill next to this official road.
After going up the hill along the road, Wei Lai took the initiative to knock on the door of a family. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, and he didn't feel strange to see this group of people outside the house, presumably because he lived next to the official road and was used to it, and from time to time someone came to the door to spend the night at night.
"This big brother, we are passing through here, but it is too late to enter the city, I wonder if we can spend the night?" Wei Lai said as he secretly looked at the man. It's just that it's getting late, and he's standing with his backlight, and he can't see anything except his very ordinary face faintly by the moonlight.
Hearing this, the man glanced behind Wei Lai, his eyes paused slightly on the carriage, but he didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Let's enter the house." So saying, he opened the door.
Wei Lai thanked him, turned around and ran back to the carriage, and said to He Zhi in the carriage: "Jin Rui, we can spend the night here tonight." ”
The words fell, and before He Zhi could say anything, he could hear the cheers of Xi Qiu in the carriage.
Outside the carriage, the two people sitting outside the carriage had already jumped out of the carriage, and the curtain was immediately lifted. The first to come out was naturally the little girl Xi Qiu, she glanced at Wei Lai, who was guarding the car, and jumped out of the carriage from the other side, and then did not immediately turn around to help her young lady, because Wei Lai had already greeted her......
Wei came to the family where they stayed was naturally not only the middle-aged man who opened the door, but his wife was also in the house, and there was no surprise when he saw people coming to stay overnight, but he was just as unenthusiastic and unshyly as the man.
Seeing that the owner of the house was a husband and wife, and it didn't seem that there was anything wrong with it, Wei Lai's heart was a little more relaxed after being vigilant all the way. It's just that the other party looked at her from time to time, but it made her a little uncomfortable, so intentionally or unintentionally, she blocked in front of He Zhi, barely isolating the exploration of these people.
The hostess poured a bowl of tea for each of them, and Wei Lai and the others politely took it, but except for Xi Qiu and the girl Liu who came halfway, He Zhi and the others only touched their lips slightly and did not drink.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything when he saw this, but his next words were embarrassing: "There are only two empty rooms at home, how to live in it, you can arrange it yourself." ”
How is this arranged? There are only five people in their group, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to live, and the simplest arrangement is that the men live in one room and the women live in the other. But the problem is that Miss Liu, who doesn't know the details, is not so reassuring, and Wei Lai can't really live in a room with the coachman.
Fortunately, when the coachman heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go out to sleep in the carriage, just to watch things." After saying that, he turned around and left, without any delay. The remaining four people still looked at each other, as if it was not appropriate to arrange them.
"Xi Qiu, you can share a room with Miss Liu." He Zhi was still blocked by Wei Lai, but he was the first to open his mouth to distribute. Although He Zhi only said Xi Qiu, there were only two rooms here, and her implication was that she wanted to live in a room with Wei Lai.
Wei Lai was almost stupid when she heard this-she knew that Miss He was informal, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take the initiative to marry so frankly in the first place, but it's one thing to be married, and it's another thing to live together inexplicably! Miss He, isn't it too much for you to arrange like this?!
"Jin Rui ......"
"Miss......"
Wei Lai, who was stupid by He Zhi's words, and Xi Qiu came back to their senses almost at the same time to speak, but in the same way, they were interrupted as soon as they opened their mouths - He Zhi took the initiative to take Wei Lai's hand and squeezed it, suggesting that she should not say more, and Xi Qiu was directly silenced by He Zhi's eyes when she turned around.
"This young lady, you ......" Miss Liu seemed to want to say something.
"Miss Liu, you can rest with Xi Qiu tonight. Don't worry, it'll be fine. He Zhi's voice was gentle and gentle, and seemed to have a sense of comfort: "As for Wei Lai and me, we are husband and wife, so we naturally live together. ”
"......" Wei Lai's cheeks turned red with a "swish", and he knew that the temperature must be very hot without trying. Fortunately, there was only one light in the room at this time, and the light was so dim that it was difficult to spot the crimson color on her face.
Wei Lai still remembered what He Zhi was hinting at when she pinched her hand before, so she just turned her head to look at He Zhi when she was awake at the moment, and asked with her eyes: When did we become husband and wife?!
He Zhi glanced at it lightly, and her bright and beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak: fiancés are also husband and wife!
Wei Lai didn't know how she could read He Zhi's eyes, she was a little helpless, but she knew that He Zhi was not a purposeless person, so in the end, she could only acquiesce to this speech. Fortunately, she was in front of He Zhi from the beginning, but no one noticed that He Zhi was not dressed as a married woman at this time.
The scene was silent for a short moment, and the middle-aged man broke the silence with a light cough: "In this case, the two girls will live in this room, and the other two will live next door." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the two empty houses in his house.
After Wei Lai thanked them, they went back to the house. It's just that when she entered the house, Miss Liu was preoccupied, Xi Qiu looked back frequently, Wei Lai's scalp was numb, and he was still the only one who was really calm.
After closing the door, He Zhi took the initiative to explain: "That Miss Liu may have different intentions and is not a good person. ”
Speaking of serious things, Wei Lai's embarrassment of being in the same room with He Zhi also subsided a little. She frowned slightly, obviously not doubting He Zhi's judgment, but was a little worried: "Then Xi Qiu, she ......"
He Zhi was not worried, only shook her head and said, "Xi Qiu is just a little girl, she will be fine." "If you really meet a bandit, you will naturally use her as a hostage bait, what is the matter with a little girl?
Although Wei Lai has no concept of hierarchy, he also understands this point. Since that Miss Liu really has a problem, she naturally doesn't want Miss He to stay with a dangerous person.
Seeing that Wei Lai seemed to agree with her explanation, He Zhi had the time to look the room up and down—there was only a bed and a cabinet in the small room, not even a stool. Naturally, this humble mountain hut is not as clean and comfortable as a city inn, but it is better than sleeping in the wilderness.
He Zhi may be a picky person, but she always knows when to be picky. So after some consideration, she didn't express the slightest dissatisfaction, but although she said that she wanted to share a room with Wei Lai, it was just to prevent Yu Ran and believe in Wei Lai's character. Do you really want to share a bed? Then let's wait until the candle night in the cave room.
He Zhi was about to speak, but Wei Lai had already opened his mouth very tacitly: "There is only one bed in the house, Jin Rui, you sleep on the bed tonight, and I will sleep on the ground." ”
While Wei Lai's consciousness made He Zhi recognize her character again, he couldn't help but feel a little teasing in his heart. Her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and her face showed a little embarrassment: "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and the humidity in this mountain and wild place is also heavy, and you can't make a fire in this house at night to keep warm, what if you are frozen and sick at night?" ”
Although He Zhi had the intention of teasing Wei Lai before, she added half of her sincerity after saying it at this moment, because what she said just now was indeed the truth. The words fell, and without waiting for Wei Lai to respond, she bit her lip, and then looked up at Wei Lai with determination: "Or, you ...... tonight You'd better rest in bed. ”
When Wei Lai heard this, he instinctively felt that He Zhi seemed to be more than just joking, so he was shocked, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I'm in good health, I even survived the wind and snow in northern Xinjiang back then, what is this little cold." She stared at He Zhi as she spoke, but found that the other party was completely unmoved, so she had to say again: "Although you and I are married, but men and women are not married, we have not yet married, we can't be so overstepping, and we will ...... in the future."
He Zhi knew what Wei Lai was going to say next, but she didn't like to listen to those words, so she waved her hand and interrupted Wei Lai's words and said, "You don't have to say it, no outsiders will know about this." I believe in you as a person, and ......"
And He Zhi didn't say anything more after that, but just glanced at Wei Lai secretly.
Wei Lai was a little confused by He Zhi, so she subconsciously asked, "And what?" ”
At the moment when Wei Lai opened his mouth to ask, a smile seemed to flash in He Zhi's eyes. It's just that when Wei Lai blinked his eyes and looked at it again, it was the other party's serious appearance.
He Zhi turned around, walked unhurriedly towards the only bed in the room, and replied lightly by the way: "And doesn't General Xiao Wei have a hidden disease?" What do I have to worry about? ”
