Chapter 40: The Temple in Distress
Xiao Jingrui only felt that his tolerance for her might also have this reason, and he might also feel that he was scheming with a kid whose hair had not yet grown, and he really lost his identity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info didn't say anything more, only glanced at her coldly, and said as a matter of course, "I lost my road guide documents and customs clearance documents, and I saved me a lot of trouble when I met you." ā
Lost the customs clearance document of the road citation paperwork? This is obviously a fool. Ning Xiang pursed her lips, and didn't bother to bother with him, she only asked, "Why should I help you, and what's the benefit of helping you?" ā
Xiao Jingrui turned his head sideways and looked at her with deep eyes, his lips raised his laugh lines, and he smiled and asked gently, "So, do you want to help me?" Hmmm...."
His smile was as dazzling as the sun, and his voice was even more gentle and heartwarming. But Ning Xiang was stunned to feel the chill of Sensen in winter, and the cold hairs on her body stood on end, she was afraid that if she didn't answer well, she would be unlucky, this guy was really not a good stubble. There was still a dare to say anything, so he had to nod his head against his will with a wrinkled little face, and when his cold eyes smashed over, he had to give a flattering smile.
Sure enough, the weak man has no human rights, and he originally wanted to ask for some silver and benefits from him through the Lu Yinwen, but now not only did he not get a penny of benefits, but he also had to give it automatically. Ning Xiang is really full of resentment, if he had the power to succeed in his previous life, he would definitely beat this person into a pig's head, so that he could know why the flowers were so red. Now I can only think about it.
Because Xiao Jingrui's appearance and temperament were too eye-catching, Zhao Bo asked the owner of the tea shed on the same day, borrowed an old hat and two peasant clothes, and replaced him on the road.
In order to act cheaply, the three of them set up a good caliber. Along the way, she and Xiao Jingrui claimed to the public as cousins that Zhao Bo was a distant relative of the two of them, and took them out to see the world.
The carriage traveled all the way south, rushing by day, and staying in villages or small inns at night. Under the leadership of Uncle Zhao, Ning Xiang and Xiao Jingrui don't have to taste the taste of sleeping in the wild.
When you go to Nanfu City, take a carriage, which is fast for three or four days and slow for seven or eight days. Uncle Zhao drove to the outside of Nanfu City on the sixth day, but what was sad was that his carriage was still a step slower, and the city gate was closed.
Missing the village where they were sleeping in the open and not being able to enter the city gate, the three of them only got a ruined temple outside the city that had been in ruins for many years.
The weather was dull, and Uncle Zhao had said two days ago that it would rain at night, but the rain fell two days late.
The three of them rushed to the broken temple, Ning Xiang and Xiao Jingrui were fine, they had been in the carriage, and their bodies were only a little wet from the rain. Uncle Zhao was not as lucky as them, with a hat and a robe, he was still wet with most of his clothes.
The dilapidated temple is even more dilapidated than Ning Xiang imagined, and there are many people living in it, most of them are beggars, and half are the same as them, the people who want to enter the city.
Uncle Zhao met an acquaintance again this time, a neighbor from Chengxi County, Nanfu, who lived on the same street as his son-in-law and daughter.
Stained with Uncle Zhao's light, she and Xiao Jingrui went to a corner covered with dry straw and did not leak rain.
Ning Xiang touched her chest uncomfortably, since she entered this broken temple, she felt flustered and irritable for no reason. This feeling made her very uneasy, and whenever something bad happened in her previous life, she would feel this way inexplicably.
"What's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?" The indifferent Xiao Jingrui asked with rare concern, and actually condescended to reach out his hand, wanting to take her pulse.
In the past few days with Xiao Jingrui, Ning Xiang learned that this guy can still do some medical skills, and I don't know when he learned it.
The pulse of men and women is different, and this pulse is easy not to be touched by him, otherwise his matter of dressing as a man will have to be exposed.
She told both Zhao Bo and Xiao Jingrui that she was fourteen years old, and it was not uncommon for a teenager who was not developed at the age of fourteen to be thin and thin, and had not grown an Adam's apple and changed his voice.
Since pretending to be a teenager, she has been cautious, especially in the same car with Xiao Jingrui, and she doesn't dare to be careless, after all, the two are facing each other day and night, and he will see the clues if she is not careful, so she walks with great strides, and she does not dare to take a bath and wipe her body for three or five days, and her daily actions are deliberately rude.
It's like now, she slapped Xiao Jingrui's outstretched hand with one palm, and deliberately said with a big grin, "Lao Tzu is not a girl, what is your ugly face, you have a lot to do." ā
The rare Xiao Jingrui was not angry, he just glanced at her thoughtfully, and didn't say anything.
As time passed, the sense of uneasiness in Ning Xiang's heart became stronger and stronger, and she pondered it repeatedly, in the end, this uneasiness overwhelmed everything. As soon as the rain was a little lighter, she pulled Xiao Jingrui to a broken pavilion behind the temple. The broken pavilion is a hundred steps away from the temple, and it is airy on all sides, and there is no one.
Xiao Jingrui pulled up the hat that had never been taken off, looked at her with a suspicious face, and asked in a deep voice, "You can't say anything directly, you have to run outside the temple to say it." ā
"As soon as I entered this temple, I was always restless, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen tonight." Ning Xiang stared at him and said. He took out the simple disfigurement ointment he had configured from the burden that he had never left his body, and said to Xiao Jingrui with a solemn face, "The medicinal powder in this rouge box can change the skin color when applied, and the only drawback is that it can't be wetted more." You hurry up and try it on your face. Now that the rain is not heavy, you have a hat again, pay attention, as long as it is not a downpour, the smaller rain is not a big problem. ā
Ning Xiang thought clearly, she just came out of the meditation nunnery, no one knew a few, and she would not have a grudge against anyone, as for Mama Li, although they would look for themselves, they would not hold on to themselves, and according to their own understanding, they would have already walked ahead.
So this sense of uneasiness can only come from this guy, although I don't know who this guy is, but the first time I saw him many years ago, he was seriously injured, thinking that he was in a very dangerous situation, and now he is forced to be with him, it is difficult to guarantee that people will not mistakenly think that he is with him. Then there will be a calamity.... Thinking of this, Ning Xiang was angry, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, and he had to cover up his thoughts to save himself.
It's a pity that Xiao Jingrui just scoffed at Ning Xiang's words, he pushed away the rouge box containing the disfigurement cream in front of him, and said coldly angrily, "You pulled me to this empty and uninhabited place just because you were inexplicably restless, and then let me apply grease and powder on my face." "It's unbelievable.
After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.
Ning Xiang exhaled, he really didn't know how to do it, but he didn't appreciate himself and had no choice but to accept the rouge box and follow him angrily.
The two of them were a few steps apart, one after the other.
In an instant, the light rain turned back into heavy rain, and it was falling in a hurry, and the two couldn't help but run.
As soon as they entered the temple, they heard a noisy sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, and screams from the front of the temple, and then a loud voice pierced through the eaves, "Quiet, everyone don't move." We are the officers and soldiers of Nanfu City, chasing down a fugitive spies. Whoever dares to act rashly, don't blame us for being ruthless under the knife! Come on, surround this temple completely, and don't let anyone go! ā
