Half an hour later, Shouxin saw a row of dark houses and sporadic lights. In this era, people still use candles and oil lamps, and in ordinary small villages like this, oil lamps and candles can be used without them, and they can be saved, so more farmers' homes are dark, and they lie down to rest after dark.

Yi Xun and Shouxin dismounted, led the horse from the head of the village to the center of the village, and stopped in front of a family in the village that seemed to have a good house. Shouxin stepped forward to call the door, and soon, someone muttered to open the door: "It's so late, who!" ”

The half-human-high wooden bars were pushed open, and a man in his twenties looked at Shouxin impatiently. "Who are you?" For those who have not seen it, this man is a little wary.

"Big brother, we are passing by, and we want to spend the night here, but I don't know if it's possible?" Shouxin said, and before the man refused, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms. "Big brother, we won't live in vain, this is the accommodation fee."

Seeing the silver, the man's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, just the two of you, right?" Come on in! He let Shouxin and Yi Xun enter the door, and when he saw that they were still leading the horses, his eyes were glued to the horses and refused to move away.

In this era, horses are like modern cars, and there are few men who don't like horses. However, ordinary farmers can only see and feast their eyes, and they may not even have a chance to touch it in their lifetime.

This family's surname is Li, there are a couple in the family, and two children, a boy and a girl, are considered to be both children and daughters, and they are very happy. Brother Li's parents also live in the village, but at the end of the village.

Brother Li cleaned up a room in the west wing where sundries were stored for Shouxin and Yi to live in, and said with a smile that he could live as long as he wanted, presumably for the sake of silver. The banker's man, the output in the field all year round, at most, is to go to work in the city when the farm is slack and earn a few pocket money.

Moreover, this era is different from modern times, and there is no work to be done even in the city. I don't see a few taels of silver at home all year round! Therefore, he attaches great importance to the broken silver that Shouxin took out.

"Then thank you, Brother Li!" Shouxin smiled and thanked him.

"You're welcome, have you eaten?" Brother Li also asked enthusiastically.

"Not yet, if it's not troublesome, please ask Brother Li to prepare something casually, of course we will pay for the meal." Yi Xun is not short of this little silver, and he can eat hot meals, so he naturally doesn't want to eat dry food.

"Okay, then I'll call my mother-in-law to cook for you." Brother Li said a word and went to the main house. Soon, the lights in the main house came on, and there was a sound from the kitchen, and within a quarter of an hour, two bowls of fragrant egg noodles were served. Fortunately, now that the New Year is approaching, even ordinary people's families have a little bit of food. You must know that eggs are a good thing in ordinary people's homes, and the chickens they usually raise are reluctant to eat eggs, so they are saved up to exchange for some copper coins.

Brother Li's daughter-in-law's cooking skills are not bad, and she is very satisfied with a bowl of egg noodles. Yi Xun is not a picky eater, and swallowed a bowl of noodles in a few bites. He ate quickly, but he didn't feel like gobbling it up at all, but he was very gentle. Shouxin has to admit that watching Yi Xun eat is very eye-catching.

In fact, not only eating, but also looking at him at any time, there is a visual beauty.

Yi Xun has been hiding in the Enlu Palace for many years, but the green wolf has also found many famous teachers to teach him secretly. Of course, since he knew that the green wolf was actually sent by Murong Yan to protect and take care of Yi Xun, Shou Xin took it for granted that those famous teachers should also be Murong Yan's handiwork.

Yi Xun was taught very well, and he had everything that a prince needed. It can be seen that Murong Yan is secretly cultivating Yi Xun as a prince.

If Empress Wen knew about this qiē, I'm afraid she would be mad!

After eating the noodles, Shouxin gave Brother Li another piece of broken silver, and said, "Brother Li, can you have forage at home?" Our horses are hungry too! ”

"Yes, I'm going to feed you the horses, so you can sleep in peace." Brother Li carefully took the broken silver into his arms, and then went out with the dishes and chopsticks. Shouxin saw that he had thrown the dishes and chopsticks to his daughter-in-law, so he took some hay and went to the place where the horse was tethered. He muttered as he put the forage in front of Shenma Black and Shenma Bai: "Eat, eat, don't be hungry." Alas, what a good horse, I may never have the opportunity to ride a horse in my life. Brother Li seemed to want to touch Shenmabai, but the hand he raised was withdrawn.

This also made the words of Shouxin's reminder come back, after all, Shenma Black and Shenma Bai are extremely arrogant, except for their own masters, it is difficult for outsiders to touch them. If you are not careful, Brother Li may be injured.

It's just that I don't know why he retracted his half-deep hand again, just worried about being kicked by the horse?

"Keep your heart, sleep, and you'll have to hurry tomorrow." Yi Xun has already laid out the quilt, which is an idle futon at Brother Li's house, which has not been used for a long time, and there is still a faint musty smell. The two of them are out of the house, and they don't pay much attention to it, and they are already satisfied with what is useful. Shouxin can also adapt, as a secret guard, he may encounter countless times more difficult tasks in the future, if he picks and chooses at this time, he may not be able to survive in the future.

"Okay." Shouxin climbed onto the wooden bed made of planks, and swayed slightly, as if it was going to collapse.

The wooden bed is not big, it will be enough for two people, and a futon is also covered by two people, after all, Shouxin is a woman dressed as a man at the moment, and there is nothing wrong with Brother Li's arrangement. What's more, their family only has these few rooms, and a pair of children, and they really can't spare rooms and extra bedding.

Ever since Shouxin climbed onto this small bed, his heart has been beating non-stop. She lay down stiffly like a corpse, not daring to move at all.

Yi Xun covered most of the quilt on her body, and half of his body was still exposed. "Sleep!" With that, with a flick of his finger, the oil lamp on the wooden table went out.

"Hmm." Shouxin replied sullenly, and his head had shrunk into the quilt, as if only in this way could he hide his heartbeat.

Actually, Yi Xun is also very nervous. He clearly understood that he liked the girl next to him very much, even though she was still very young, but he had taken a fancy to her since she was a baby. Now that she is almost fourteen years old and married early, she can already discuss marriage or get married at such an age.

At this time, in such a situation, he couldn't help but be 'evil', and his originally calm and indifferent body began to become hot, even in this cold winter, even if half of his body was outside the quilt, he still felt that it was abnormally hot.

And because of the heat of his body, Shouxin, who was also in the quilt, was very warm, and she was very nervous at first. But after lying down, exhaustion and drowsiness hit, and she couldn't resist it, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe it's because Yi Xun is around her, which makes her extra at ease, and the guide zhì sleeps extra peacefully.

Yi Xun struggled in his heart for a long time, and he worked very hard to suppress his little 'evil', and when he looked sideways, he didn't see Shouxin's thin face in the darkness. However, he was sure that he was guarding his side, so he reluctantly lifted the corner of the quilt, and the person also lifted it up. At the same time, he also found that Shouxin was asleep, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "You little villain, you sleep fast." After saying that, he smiled again. Yi Xun's smile in the dark is extremely handsome, even with a very plain face, it can't hide his noble and extraordinary temperament.

And this night, Yi Xun is destined to have no sleep.

At dawn, they should have gotten up and hurried, but he couldn't bear to wake her up when he looked at Shouxin's sweet sleeping face. got up by himself, and didn't forget to tuck the quilt for Shouxin.

Yi Xun, who has never taken care of others, feels that even if he does such a small thing, there is an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart.

For so many years, he has spent time alone in Enlu Palace, and the most important thing he hopes to do every year is to go to the island. There are masters who love him, and there are lovely guards. I don't know when it started, but being able to see Shouxin became the thing he looked forward to and felt the happiest thing the most.

Mr. and Mrs. Li and their children have already woken up, and now that the end of the year is approaching, they have to pack up the house and prepare everything for the new year, including food, utensils, etc.

And today, because of Yi Xun and Shouxin's overnight, Brother Li instructed the children not to make a sound, otherwise it would affect the rest of the nobles, and it would not be beautiful.

Brother Li already regarded Yi Xun and Shouxin as nobles in his heart, after all, two pieces of broken silver were enough for them to have a good New Year.

The two children were also well-behaved, and at this moment they were carrying hay to feed the horses. They rarely see horses, and the richest people in the village only keep donkeys, so they are very rare.

When Brother Li saw Yi Xun coming out, he hurriedly smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well?" ”

"Hmm!" Yi Xun's heavy dark circles under his eyes, no matter how you look at it, I haven't slept well! However, their Zhuang family's mind is not so detailed, and this is just a scene, just ask casually.

"My mother-in-law is already cooking breakfast, and it will be fine soon. Are you going to leave today? "Brother Li doesn't seem to want Yi Xun and Shouxin to leave.

"I'll leave later, I'll trouble you last night." Yi Xun thanked him very politely, if it was other princes, I am afraid that he would not be able to make such a humble gesture to ordinary people.

"Hey, it's nothing." Brother Li scratched his head and smiled innocently. I have long forgotten that I didn't plan to take in Yi Xun and Shouxin last night.

At this time, the two children fed the horses, and also ran over to hug Brother Li's legs, one on the left and one on the left, and then raised their heads and looked at Yi Xun curiously.

Yi Xun smiled and took out a few pieces of sugar from his arms and gave them them.

This candy is still a blessing for guarding the heart, and it is used to please the guard when Yi Xun plans to sleep in the wild and have no good food. He didn't think about it when he was ready, but did it subconsciously.

Although he has not been loved on the surface for so many years, he has never tried to please a person like this, and he has been so natural to please him, so that he can enjoy himself.

The children were happy to get candy and ran around the yard to have fun.

Brother Li saw that the children were happy, and he didn't stop him, and he was also stupid. Yi Xun looked at this simple farmhouse from the sidelines, and felt a little envious in his heart. There is a saying that the wife and children are hot on the kang, and the family is the happiest. And this simple happiness is something he can never hope for.
