Chapter 201: The Farm Shelters from the Rain
Xue Chongjian sneered, "Are you sure you can protect her?" β
"I will do my best to protect her for the rest of my life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Cui Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Xue Chongjian stared at him for a long time, and then said, "If you can't do it, I will never let you go." β
Cui Lu picked up the kettle on the table, lowered his face, and poured tea seriously, "You don't need to worry about our affairs, you better care about yourself first." β
The two stared at each other, falling silent again.
After a while, Jing Ci and Wu Yun each walked in with a basin of water.
"What's wrong with you?" Jing Ci's gaze flickered back and forth between the two.
"It's fine." The two spoke in unison.
"Then wipe the wound and change the dressing."
At this time, Hua Zhou, who had just finished feeding the horses, strode in from outside the door, holding a white dove in his hand and handing a roll of paper to his master in the other.
Cui Luo took the note, read it carefully, and after reading it, after thinking for a moment, Fang said lightly to Hua Zhou: "You go back." β
Hua Zhou raised his eyebrows, "No, you're injured, in case you ......"
"It's okay," Cui Lu interrupted him, staring at him with blazing eyes, "The person sent by Li Sanlang is already on the way, and he will be able to meet us tomorrow." You go back and take care of Chang'an's affairs. β
Hua Zhou looked at his master, and finally sighed lightly, "The subordinates obey the order." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Not long after Hua Zhou left, several people planned to continue their journey.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got into the carriage, it suddenly rained in the spring. The spring rain is not big, but it is dense. They simply got out of the carriage and went into the house to hide from the rain and continue to rest.
A spring rain delayed the trip and it rained for nearly an hour.
An hour later, the rain finally stopped, washing away the gloom from the sky and everything on the earth. In the farmstead, the garden is fresh. The sun came out, but it was sunset. The sunset dyed half of the sky red, with a glow on one side and a blue sky on the other, which was very beautiful.
After discussion, it was decided to spend the night at the farmstead tonight.
The peasant woman cleaned two rooms for them, one for Jing Ci and Wu Yun, and one for Cui Lu and Xue Chongjian.
In the evening, the four of them had a meal and went back to their rooms to rest.
These noble ladies and gentlemen have never slept with others, let alone unfamiliar people.
At night, after Wu Yun washed up, he glanced at the bed made of straw piles, and couldn't help frowning. Jing Ci ignored her expression, took a sip of tea and walked to the bed.
Wu Yun turned around and walked out silently.
"Where are you going?" Jing Ci looked at her back and said.
"I'd better sleep in the carriage tonight."
Jing Ci raised the corners of his mouth, "In the wilderness, aren't you afraid of wolves?" β
Wu Yun immediately stopped when he heard this, and his face changed slightly.
"If you're away from home, you'll spend the night." Jing Ci lay on the bed, leaned against the wall, covered the quilt and closed her eyes to rest, ignoring her no more.
Wu Yun, who was frozen at the door, hesitated, and finally turned around and walked back, reluctantly lying on the bed, gently pulling some quilts, and turning his back to Jing Ci.
The night at the farm is noisy, it is spring, the breeding season of worm frogs, and the sound of bug frogs all night long.
Squeak β squeak β
Quack-quack-qua
Wu Yun tossed and turned, although the bed made of grass was soft, it had an unfamiliar smell, and with the noise around, she really couldn't sleep.
After a long time, she couldn't help tiptoeing up, sat on the bed, turned to look at Jing Ci who had fallen asleep with her eyes closed, and then walked out cautiously.
The moon was bright tonight, and the moonlight was shining all over the courtyard.
Because of the bright moonlight, Wu Yun was not very afraid, and walked to sit down under the eaves where the peasant women sat and worked during the day.
"Can't sleep?" A voice sounded softly behind him.
"Jiro." Wu Yun turned around and saw the figure at the door, a little overjoyed.
The bright moonlight reflected on him, full of brilliance, serene and soft.
Xue Chongjian's face was expressionless, and he walked to her side with his hands in his hands and sat down next to her.
"Why hasn't Erlang slept yet?" Wu Yun lowered her head slightly, stared at her skirt, and was silent.
Xue Chongjian raised his head to look at the moon, and was fascinated by the moonlight, "I can't sleep." β
Wu Yun looked up at the person beside him nervously when he heard this, his expression was worried, "Is the wound painful?" Or ......"
"It's fine." He interrupted her.
Wu Yun pursed her lips and buried her head again, "I'm worried about Erlang's ......"
There was only the sound of insects and frogs around, it was late at night, and the people around them were asleep, and there were only the two of them in the empty farmhouse.
Xue Chongjian looked down at her and sighed softly, "The road is far away and the hardships are great, or you will go back to Chang'an tomorrow." β
"I don't want it!"
"Yun'er, why are you doing this?"
"For Erlang, this is not bitter, after so many years, doesn't Erlang still understand Yun'er's intentions?" Wu Yun raised his head and looked into his eyes, his eyes were quite emotional.
"Yun'er ......"
"Don't tell me," Wu Yun turned his head away, and his words were slightly coquettish, "Erlang is injured now, I can only make me feel better by taking care of you by your side, doesn't Erlang even give me the opportunity to let Yun'er take care of you?" Didn't Erlang say, will you always be by Yun'er's side? β
Looking at Chu Chu's poor Wu Yun, Xue Chongjian suddenly had nothing to say, his eyes moved down, and he found that her skirt was dirty, and the jade hand had a trace of dried blood at some point, and he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, she could obviously eat and dress in the house, why bother running around with him.
"It's late at night, go back and rest." He stood up and said with his back to her.
The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, it doesn't matter, it's still a long time, more than ten years have passed, she doesn't care about the next ten years.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, they had breakfast and continued on their way.
Jing Ci asked the peasant woman for two men's clothes, one handed to Wu Yun, and the other was worn on herself. Men's clothing is much more convenient when you're away from home.
Jing Ci is so strong, and he shouldered the task of driving the carriage.
didn't go far, Wu Yun also came out, saying that he was good at riding, and he drove the carriage with her as a companion.
The group lasted a few days, and in the middle of the road, Li Longji sent someone to answer. At this time, Cui Lu and Xue Chongjian's injuries had recovered, and horseback riding was not a problem. In order to speed up the trip, four people rushed to Luzhou.
That day, near nightfall, they finally entered Luzhou City.
Without much delay, they went directly to Li Longji's mansion.
"Li Sanlangβ"
"I've been waiting for a few days, and you're done!" Li Longji went out of the house to greet him, and kept looking at Cui Lu and the others, "How is it, is the injury serious?" β
"It's okay, I've recovered a lot."
Li Longji raised his hand with a straight face, "Come into the house, I have prepared wine and food waiting for you." β
After a few days, Jing Ci and the others were already dusty, and their faces were slightly tired.
Li Longji prepared a large table of good wine and good food for them.
"I'll give you a glass first, it's been a hard journey." Li Longji raised his glass and looked sincere.
"In the next period of time, I'm afraid I will have to disturb the house for a few days."
"It doesn't matter, although you live in peace, Luzhou and Chang'an are far away, and Princess Taiping can't stretch out her hand so long."
The dinner did not last long, and Li Longji knew that they had been traveling for days and had no vigorous energy, so he prepared four private rooms for them to rest.
In the evening, Jing Ci had just washed up thoroughly when there was a knock at the door.
"Who?"
"It's me." Outside the door was a female voice.
Jing Ci was slightly stunned when she heard this, and when she reacted, she couldn't help but be excited, and immediately stepped forward to open the door.
