Chapter 6 Couldn't have really crossed over
The food in the inn is really not delicious, perhaps it is made according to the ancient style, which lacks the fine taste of the 21st century, and there are no condiments such as chicken essence and MSG. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info plus water dingdong heart does not belong, a meal is really the same as chewing wax.
After eating and going upstairs, Hu Lijin asked the man to bring hot water for Shui Dingdong to wash her hands and face, taught her to use flint velvet, and tactfully told her that there was a night pot behind the bed.
Shui Dingdong understood what he meant, it was still so early, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not get up all night to relieve himself. She has always known that Hu Lijin is gentle and affectionate in front of women, but this is the first time she has tried this man's thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness in every detail.
After saying "good night", Hu Lijin went to his own room next door. Dropped the water and latched the door, looked at the lamp on the table like a bean, and couldn't help sighing, full of thoughts.
In the past, when she read the "Crossing Over" novel, she was still very envious of the protagonist in it who had such a wonderful and strange experience, but when it was her turn, she realized that it was better to stay in the 21st century. For example, it was just dark at this time, at most it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, but there was not even a light, let alone a television or computer, and there was nothing else to do except go to bed.
But she was really lying on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy. I could only stare at the roof of the tent in a daze by the dim light. I wonder if there will be civilization and prosperity in the 21st century in that faraway land. I even thought about whether she would be able to call back to her father if she had a mobile phone.
Of course she has a mobile phone, but when she was eating, she suddenly remembered that when she was looking for her mobile phone, Hu Lijin had already told her that all things with electric current could not be crossed, no matter how weak the current was. So her mobile phone was left in the XXI century.
She just thought about it, and in the end, all her thoughts boiled down to two questions: whether Hu Lijin is reliable or not; And Zhang Min, if he is really in Xi'an, the "capital", as Hu Lijin said, then he is not safe now, and he is not afraid.
The latter question made her forget her troubles for a while, because anyway, she also had an acquaintance by her side, Hu Lijin. And Zhang Min is likely to be isolated and helpless, with no way to ask for help.
Once she started worrying about Zhang Min, she became even more sleepless. It wasn't until the oil lamp was getting darker and darker, as if it was running out of oil, that she hurriedly got up and found the night pot and used it once, and then went back to bed and lay down, and as the oil lamp jumped and went out, she finally fell asleep in a trance in the entanglement.
Fortunately, she slept until dawn, she got up and found the underwear and outer clothes that Hu Lijin had prepared for her, and took a lot of effort to put them on one by one. After wrapping her own 21st-century costume into a package, she was about to go to the next room to wake Hu Lijin up, when there was a knock on the door, she went to open it, and Hu Lijin was standing outside the door.
Hu Lijin changed into a gray robe, but it was still a crimson short-cut outfit inside. Now Shui Dingdong already knows that Hu Lijin prepared a literati costume for her, and Hu Lijin's body is the most popular martial arts dress.
Glancing up and down at the water dingdong, Hu Lijin laughed out loud.
"Don't tie the belt so tightly, it looks like a skirt!"
Shui Dingdong looked down at his waist, and he really felt wrinkled, so he could only reply to him with a small mouth: "There is not even a lock on this belt, I really don't know how to tie it!" ”
Hu Lijin raised her eyebrows, walked over and untied her belt, and then helped her tie it again. Shui Dingdong smelled a fragrance into her nose, in fact, she had already smelled this fragrance on Hu Lijin yesterday, and finally couldn't help revealing a sneering face.
"A big man, why do you make your body smell so good? You wouldn't have brought a bottle of perfume from the 21st century, would you? ”
"Of course not!" Hu Lijin straightened up, straightened the scholar's hat on her head for her, and suddenly smiled, half-truth, "Do you remember that I said I was a fox spirit?" ”
Of course Shui Dingdong remembered, so she nodded pretending to be: "It turns out that you made your body so fragrant to cover up the smell of foxes on your body!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Dingdong laughed to himself. Unexpectedly, Hu Lijin shook his head and replied seriously.
"Only ordinary foxes have a smell, and a fox spirit like me, who has been cultivating diligently for hundreds of years, will naturally exude fragrance on his body. Otherwise, so many fox spirits have fascinated the stories of young scholars, do you think they are all made up? ”
What he meant was that he was already an "old man" who had "cultivated the Tao for hundreds of years", and Shui Dingdong really wanted to laugh a few times with him, but he couldn't laugh, so he could only squint at him and ask him: "But I remember what the book says...... The vixen can change everywhere, but a tail can't change, what about your tail? Why didn't I see you have a tail? ”
"That's all nonsense!" Hu Lijin couldn't help laughing, "If you really have a tail, those young scholars won't be able to see it when they sleep with fox spirits?" Unless the Tao is too shallow, and the tail is accidentally exposed for a while! ”
Shui Dingdong pursed his lips and decided not to talk nonsense with him anymore. She still hasn't even fully believed in "crossing", let alone "fox into a spirit"? That's just fantasy and nonsense!
Soon the innkeeper brought water to wash his face, and Shui Dingdong washed his face with a clean cotton cloth. The inn originally had breakfast, but Shui Dingdong thought that since he came, he simply went out to find special snacks and the like, and Hu Lijin naturally relied on her.
Out of the inn to the east, there are a few food stalls. Shui Dingdong saw that there were many diners at a stall selling duck offal soup, so he also went over to find a seat and sat down. I asked Hu Lijin for a bowl of duck offal soup and two duck fat cakes.
This stall is probably a family busy, a husband and wife, and a pair of children. Shui Dingdong seems to have found two rules of "women dressing up as men", the first one, although women take men's clothes as their beauty, they are basically elegant and elegant scholars, and it is estimated that the reason why men are more popular in martial arts clothing is to be different from women; Second, the women who can wear men's clothes are generally young ladies and ladies who have money and leisure to go shopping, and most of the women from poor families still wear women's clothes. Probably a loose and loose scholar's dress is more likely to get oil and dust, but it is not as good as a women's dress with narrow sleeves and short skirts.
The duck fat cake was quite delicious, and although the amount of rice was small, I ate one of them with duck offal soup. Asked about Zhang Min's situation, Hu Lijin replied that Zhang Min crossed over two years earlier than her, and was accepted as a godson by a wealthy family surnamed Shang in Chang'an City, and now his name has been changed to Shang Min. The rich man himself has no son, and treats Zhang Min as if he were his own.
Shui Dingdong was worried about Zhang Min all night last night, but now when he listens to Hu Lijin, he doesn't know what it feels like. If the crossing is true, then a lot can happen in two years. In this era, he started a family early, Zhang Min saw that it was impossible to go back to the 21st century, could he have married another woman under the urging of his adoptive parents? If yes, what should she do? When Zhang Min sees her, what will he do with her?
Just thinking about it, a woman Hu Lijin's so-called "flowery and swaggering through the market" walked to the snack stall, and before she sat down, she only glanced at Hu Lijin's face with a pair of charming eyes. Shui Dingdong naturally ignored it, but Hu Lijin did not change his prodigal nature, and soon nodded at the woman with a smile on his face. The woman dragged a stool from behind her and sat down next to Shui Dingdong.
"Childe is so handsome, why have I never seen Childe come here for breakfast?" She was smiling, delicate and charming. I don't know if this era is really very open, or if this woman is shameful in the dust, she actually praised the "handsome son" in front of the public.
However, Hu Lijin was thicker-skinned, and immediately reciprocated Li replied with a smile: "The girl is also a rare beauty!" It's a pity that we are just passing through Luzhou, not Luzhou locals, otherwise we should have visited the girl a long time ago! ”
These words made the woman's eyes flutter, and while smiling at Hu Lijin, she glanced at Shui Dingdong again.
"This is so beautiful, it should be a young lady, but I don't know what it has to do with my son?"
"She's my sister!"
Shui Dingdong has elegant facial features and exquisite posture, and you don't need to look closely to see that she is a girl's family. But when he heard Hu Lijin flirting with a dusty woman he met for the first time, Shui Dingdong already had contempt in his heart, and then he hurriedly skimmed it so clearly, as if he was afraid that she would hinder his peach blossom luck, and he couldn't help but want to ridicule. It's just that in front of this dusty woman, she really wants to argue with Hu Lijin, but it seems that she is jealous, so when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back into her stomach with a mouthful of duck offal soup.
"That's good!" The woman did not hide her happiness, and smiled more and more coquettishly, "Since the son wants to visit the slave family, the slave family is really overjoyed!" But I don't know where Childe lives? How many days will you stay in Luzhou? ”
"Just stay at the inn in front of you, as for staying for a few days......" Hu Lijin raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shui Dingdong, "It depends on what my sister means!" ”
"Really?" The woman immediately looked back at Shui Dingdong, and the smile on her face changed from charming to flattering, "Good girl, just stay in Luzhou with your brother for a few more days, right?" There are actually a lot of delicious and fun things in Luzhou, and I don't want to leave if I keep you for a few more days! ”
"Really?" Shui Dingdong reluctantly suppressed the urge to push the woman away, and was also smiling and full of etiquette, "I don't know my sister's surname?" ”
"My surname is Wen, just call me Sister Wen!" The woman hurriedly replied, and even reached out to grab Shui Dingdong's arm.
"Sister Wen, are we very acquainted?" Shui Dingdong's mouth screamed softly and affectionately, but his words were spicy and sharp, "I want to ask Sister Wen, is it because I like my brother's appearance, or do I fall in love with his clothes?" I want to remind Sister Wen that my brother is only dressed in good clothes, and he doesn't have much money in his pocket at all! ”
"You, you...... How can you talk like that! The woman jumped to her feet at once, and no amount of cheekiness could hold up a smile anymore.
Hu Lijin secretly scolded Shui Dingdong for being a troublemaker, hurriedly stood up, and arched his hand towards the woman.
"My sister is young and ignorant, so don't be like her!"
The woman glared at Shui Dingdong with hatred, but Shui Dingdong didn't look at her, and drank the remaining half bowl of duck offal soup. The woman was angry, turned her face and was about to nag a few words at Hu Lijin, when she suddenly heard someone shouting coldly: "It's right here, I see where you kid can run today!" ”
Shui Dingdong was shocked in his heart, raised his face to look, and saw a team of people dressed as errands coming up, and the first one with a vicious face was the son-in-law surnamed Luo he met yesterday.
