Chapter 7 Life is too hard
In the middle of the night, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars in the sky shimmer with a faint brilliance, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qingping Town, in the Yuelai Inn, in a room with simple decoration but a little elegant, there are two slender figures standing by the window.
One leaned against the lattice and looked up at the sky, and the other stood respectfully aside, not saying a word.
There was silence in the room, so quiet that you could clearly hear the chirping of cicadas not far away.
Through the flickering candlelight, it can be seen that the man leaning on the window lattice and looking up at the sky is none other than Tang Jing, the eldest young man of the Tang family, and the one standing next to him is the nighthawk with a solemn face.
After a long time, a man's cold and slightly muffled voice suddenly came.
"You quickly return to Beijing and inform the King of Xiaoyao, and say that there are a large number of refugees gathered in Xiushui Mountain outside Qingping Town.
Also, tell him the news from Zhang Bin that these refugees are from the south, and remind him to find out what is going on and why no local officials have reported such a big matter. ā
"Yes!"
Nighthawk responded respectfully, and then, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and said, "That Gu Xiao...... Does Childe really want to take her with him? ā
"She's not the second aunt's person." Not suspicion, but affirmation.
Along the way, he saw all kinds of Gu Xiao's performances, she likes to be a little smart, but she is by no means a big evil person.
Just by virtue of the fact that along the way, she scattered all the silver taels on her body in order to give the refugees on the side of the road a full meal, and he could see that she was a kind girl.
"But...... What if she's from there? Nighthawk was still a little worried.
For this woman who inexplicably appeared in their field of vision, he couldn't let down his guard.
Who knew that Tang Jing heard this, and smiled without looking back: "Don't worry, with her IQ, the people over there won't find such a person to fool me." ā
"What IQ? Who are you talking about? ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice in the room.
He and Nighthawk were stunned at the same time, when did she arrive? Why don't they feel it at all?
"It's so late, what are you doing here without resting?"
Tang Jing turned around, walked back to the coffee table and sat down, and asked without raising his head.
"I can't sleep, by the way, what were you guys talking about? With whose IQ can't fool you? ā
"It's nothing, just say, what's the matter with me?"
Tang Jing gestured to the Nighthawk who was still standing aside, and the Nighthawk understood, turned around and walked out of the house, and closed the door by the way, and then heard the sound of trampling away.
"It's nothing, I just think of the refugees I saw along the way today, and I feel a little emotional."
She said that those bandits were so easy to fool this morning, it turned out that they were all refugees who had just entered the bandit industry!
Tang Jing raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, handed over the teacup in his hand, and teased in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to be a person who worries about the country and the people." ā
When Gu Xiao heard this, he raised his head and said a little arrogantly: "That's it, I think I also served the people in my previous life." ā
"Past lives? Serve? ā
Why did these words sound weird to him?
"Uh... Hehe, I'm talking nonsense. ā
Gu Xiao took the teacup, took a sip, and smiled at him.
Tang Jing frowned slightly, he always felt that the way this woman spoke was a little weird, and some novel words would pop up from time to time, which he had never heard of.
Afraid that he would be suspicious, Gu Xiao hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It's going to be the fourth day, when will we arrive at Qingyou Valley?" ā
"It's coming, five more days' journey."
"What? Five more days! ā
Gu Xiao only felt a thunderbolt from the sky, she originally thought that she could arrive tomorrow, but she didn't want to, it would take five days!
"Can you ride a horse?"
She really can't walk, it's not that she doesn't want to walk, but this body is too delicate, plus she has been in a hurry all this time, so she doesn't have time to exercise well.
"No, there are rules in the valley that outsiders can't ride into it."
Speaking of Qingyou Valley, he couldn't help but think of his grandmother's illness, and he didn't know how his grandmother was now!
This time I went to find the master, but I just had the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, Sansan is not an ordinary poison, even if it is a master, it is estimated that he is not sure.
Mo Lanzhi, a woman, in order to take charge of the Tang family, can be said to have done everything, back then, if it wasn't for the time when her grandfather and uncle went, her mother probably wouldn't have survived until now!
"Hey~ What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that his face sank a little in an instant, Gu Xiao couldn't help but be a little worried.
Tang Jing, who was in a trance, was pulled back to his distant thoughts by her crisp voice, slightly restrained his expression, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's late at night, you should go back and rest." ā
Gu Xiao wanted to say something, but noticed that his expression was a little dazed, and he didn't seem to have any intention of talking to her, so he also got up and said goodbye with interest.
ā¦ā¦
At noon the next day.
Gu Xiao looked at Tang Jing's face with a pair of panda eyes and yawned.
"Ha~! Why do you get up so early? ā
Alas! It was all because she drank too much tea last night, so that she couldn't sleep after counting thousands of little sheep, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Looking at Tang Jing, who looked a little weak even when she opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.
Did he get up early? Is this woman blind? Don't see the sun already rising in mid-sky?
"Let's go."
Too lazy to talk nonsense with her, Tang Jing walked away directly after speaking.
Gu Xiao's eyes widened, and his eyes, which were still a little cloudy, were now clear.
"Hey~ Master Tang, I haven't eaten yet!"
God, she didn't even eat breakfast, and her stomach was so hungry that she didn't even give her lunch, so how could she have the strength to continue her journey?
"Eh, you're really gone? Leave some money for emergencies! ā
Who knows, she is shouting here, and over there, Tang Jing has already drifted away.
"Why don't you catch up and don't want to eat?"
His voice was so cold that he didn't have any emotion suddenly came from his ears, Gu Xiao was stunned, the distance between the two was so far, how could she still hear his faint voice?
Don't...... Is this called Transsion?
"That's cool!"
With a low whisper, she strode forward and chased in the direction where Tang Jing was.
"Hey, hey! Where are we going to eat? ā
Gu Xiao strode forward and followed Tang Jing's side flatteringly, with a flattering smile on his face.
There is no way, she eats people and has a soft mouth, she is now penniless, and it is difficult to move an inch, so she can only eat and drink with this rich second generation.
How could Tang Jing not know her thoughts? But he didn't say anything, but walked aimlessly.
"Don't be so cold, it's a good reply!"
Alas! Suddenly, I miss her little brother Su Hao in the police station, buy breakfast for her every day, make coffee, she is like a queen, enjoying it with her feet crossed.
Now it's okay, coming to such a dynasty where he is unfamiliar with his life, he is still penniless, and if he wants to eat a full meal, he has to look at people's faces, this day is too difficult!
