Chapter 267: Living Alone

"Xiao Ling'er."

In my memory, since I met Xiao Chu, he called my name for the first time.

I was stunned for a while, and it took me a while to react.

But when I think back to the tone in which he called me, that feeling of déjà vu suddenly came back to my mind.

He called it so familiarly, as if we had known each other for years!

I suppressed the apprehension in my heart and whispered yes.

He repeated what he had asked me, as if he was afraid that I wouldn't hear it clearly.

"What are you going to do when you get to Yingtian?"

I was a little dazed in my heart, and I muttered to myself: "What else can I plan, act at the opportunity, and take one step at a time." ”

Xiao Chu approached me and said with some expectation: "If I tell you, it is better to stay in Yingtian, will you agree?" ”

"Huh?" I replied at a loss, looked away and said, "I didn't think about this, the top priority is to send Mr. Mu's letter to that Liu Gongzi after arriving in Yingtian, I will always fulfill his last wish." ”

"As for myself, I'm a person who comes and goes without worry, but it's actually casual."

A smile escaped from Xiao Chu's lips and nodded, his mood seemed to be much better.

It occurred to me in hindsight that he had heard my answer as an indirect response to him?

After staying for two days, I re-embarked on the road to Yingtian, this time in a larger and more comfortable carriage.

The advantage of upgrading the car is that the first road is smoother, and the second is that the things you bring are more complete.

Xiao Chu and I each occupied a corner, busy with the things in hand.

He spent most of his time reading books as long as he was awake, and since that night from town he didn't ask me to read them to him.

I had free time, and I was bored on the road, so when I stopped at the villa, someone found some embroidery tools for me, and I was going to make some female reds along the way.

But I really didn't have the talent for it, so I embroidered a handkerchief. The flowers on the top don't look as good as the ones on the market.

Xiao Chu was looking at a book with his head down, hearing my sigh, his eyes quickly moved to me, and when he saw me frowning and fiddling with the embroidered handkerchief, he smiled helplessly: "If you can't do it, don't do it." ”

"You are the one I hired, and you are not short of food and clothing, these are just pastimes."

"Isn't it strange that I can tie a lantern, you say. Able to weave bamboo strips. You can also use blades of grass to make grasshoppers. Why is it embroidery, how can't you get it? ”

"What's strange about this, there are specializations in the art industry, and everyone has their own specialty. Will you be the same, will there be something else? ”

Xiao Chu said, his eyes swept to the handkerchief that I had put aside, he saw the pattern on it clearly, covered his mouth and smiled.

"I'm tired from reading, you still have to do something useful."

"For example?" I asked hesitantly as he looked at him.

He raised the book in his hand and smiled silently.

I raised my voice and said, "Do you think you've changed this bad habit?" “

That being said, the mouth of eating others is soft, and the hands of others are short. Just counting the travel expenses of Yingtian, plus the food along the road, Xiao Chu hired me a lot of money.

I could only put away the little resentment in my heart and seriously pick up the book and read it.

My muffled voice echoed through the carriage, and I read for almost four pages. When I looked up, I saw that the man had fallen asleep against the wall of the car.

To be honest, I have concerns about him when he asks me to look at him carefully on weekdays, one because of his appearance, and the other because of the indescribable affection.

I put down the book and silently moved over to him, crouching there, looking at his face.

This is the second time since the time I was at the lodge.

Before I knew it, I was so addicted to it that I almost forgot that I was still in the carriage, and I only felt that familiar feeling came back to me, but I struggled with him several times about it, and I was depressed to realize that this was a feeling that I had alone.

Sighing, retracting his thoughts, at this moment, the carriage under his body encountered some obstacles, only to feel a heavy shock, and then heard the horse's chirping.

Walking on the road since I hit the villa, it was the first time I encountered it with such a strong shock!

This is a good thing, I was looking down at him intently, but with such a shock, I fell on top of him as soon as I leaned over.

Oh, my God!

I didn't have time to react, but the driver who drove the car was so skillful that he tightened the reins.

The carriage shook again, and I fell completely on Xiao Chu's body now! "What are you doing?" Xiao Chu opened his eyes and saw that my whole body fell on top of him, and the two of them were attached together, so he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed in a low voice, staring at me with a pair of eyes.

So close, his delicate eyebrows seemed to magnify several times in front of me.

Getting up from him in a panic, I smiled and said, "It was an accident just now." "Childe, there is a mud puddle on the road, and the carriage has sunken, now it's okay, you sit tight."

The voice of the coachman was heard in front of him.

I didn't dare to look at Xiao Chu, my face was so red that I was about to drip blood.

He straightened up from the cushion, straightened the hem of his clothes, and said calmly, "Why don't you read it?" “

I hurriedly held up the book to cover my face and stumbled on

The carriage passed through two cities in succession, and we didn't stop, and Xiao Chu's journey this time seemed to be a bit rushed.

After eating snacks and drinking a few sips of tea, I looked at Xiao Chu and asked, "Why did you come out of the villa and hurry non-stop?" "Tail." Xiao Chu said succinctly.

There was a trance in my eyes, and I remembered the scene when I met that girl at the gate of the villa, and Xiao Chu asked me to hide it, and asked in a low voice: "She still follows you?" "So you have to go quickly." "Are you sure you made it clear to her?" I thought about it. "Of course." "But if a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, it is natural for her to miss you, but I am afraid that you may not be able to get rid of her completely when it comes to Yingtian."

"Can you try to develop a relationship with her?"

I said a word kindly, and when I saw Xiao Chu's displeased eyes, I paused.

Coughing, I continued, "If you really don't mean anything about her, have another idea." "Tell me about it." Xiao Chu looked at me with interest and said. "Actually, it's very simple, you just need to change your identity." "How?" "If you get married, won't she die of that heart?" "It's easy to say," Xiao Chu said with a smile.

He smiled and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, a sentence popped up: "After arriving in Yingtian, do you have a place to live?" ”

I was drawn by his changing topic, and searched for the impressions in my memory, except for the ones I knew along the way, I really had no other memories of the corresponding day.

I said seriously: "I don't know anything about the day, so I'll find an inn to stay in there." ”

"I can't take you back to my house." Xiao Chu's eyes flickered.

"Who's going to go back with you?" I shook my head, "When it comes to Yingtian, we will go our separate ways." ”

"Ah," I looked up, my gaze falling on his face. "You don't really think I'm hired by you. Just your maid, right? ”

"I don't do this. I still know a little bit about medicine, and I can always find a pharmacy or a medical clinic to find something to do. ”

"You know, I'm lucky." I smiled and said, "Maybe some of the famous doctors in Yingtian can take a fancy to me." It is not known whether he will be accepted as a disciple. ”

"Didn't you say that someone in your family has been studying for you?"

"Yes." Xiao Chu's eyes darkened

When it was time for supper, the carriage stopped to rest in the woods, and I searched all the carriages, but I could not find the poorly embroidered veil, and I did not know where to get it.

After replenishing the water and continuing to hurry, Yingtian is getting closer to us little by little!

In an alley in the southeast of Yingtian City, a small courtyard shaded by green trees, early in the morning. A young man with delicate eyebrows came out of it and walked south along the alley of the alley.

This is my sixth day in Yan Shan Tong, and I am fortunate that I bought the men's clothes, plus the prescription that Mr. Mu's book can hide my appearance, otherwise the hospital would have hired me.

I didn't know until I came to the sky. Almost all of the people who show up to do things outside are men.

In this era, there are many restrictions on women, so I can't find a job to support myself in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the medical books I read were not in vain, and in the few months I was by Mr. Mu's side, I learned enough herbal knowledge to be competent for the work of the medical center.

Thinking of Mr. Mu, the letter I always carried in my arms never left my body, and when I first entered Yingtian, I looked for it once according to the address above, and the door of the house was closed, and no one answered after I knocked on the door for a long time.

I even climbed a tree and leaned on the wall to check it out, and it really didn't look like there were people living there.

I couldn't think of a better way, so I decided to stay in Yingtian first, and then ask the people in that house after a while.

I said goodbye to Xiao Chu when I couldn't get to the city gate, and he told me that I would choose another way into the city.

Knowing that his identity is either rich or expensive, I know that sometimes I can't talk too much.

Only the look in his eyes when he said goodbye was so melancholy that my feelings were also depressed for most of the day.

The medical hall was not far from where I was renting, and the silver Xiao Chu lent me at the time of farewell was enough for me to rent for a few months.

Crossing a lively street, I turned a corner to where I was doing.

I brought a bamboo plaque to the courtyard and spread out the medicinal herbs inside to dry, the weather is good today, this is my main job.

After being busy for a long time, the steward outside suddenly came in and called me.

"Xiaolin, there are many patients coming to the hospital today, and there are not enough people to grab medicine, you go and do a favor."

I said yes and followed him to the shop along the street.

All kinds of medicinal materials are piled up on the shelves in different categories, and the medicine should be grasped for the patients according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, and then wrapped one by one, so that they can go home and decoct the medicine.

It's not the first time I've been helping for six days, but today I'm grabbing the medicine, I always feel uncomfortable, and I feel a thrill in my heart, and I turn around and look at the people waiting outside!
