Chapter XIV

When it was almost dark, the group finally walked to the nearest town, where Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua took him to find an inn and prepare to stay.

"Guest, we only have two rooms here." The shopkeeper said politely and apologetically.

"Only two?" Hu Tiehua frowned, looked outside and said, "Why is there no guest room before it gets dark?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at him, and saw that this person was dressed and knew that he must be a person from the rivers and lakes, for the safety of themselves and the small shop, they have never provoked these guys with weapons, so they can only laugh respectfully: "The little one also knows not very well, but recently there have been many people who have come and gone in this area, and the number of people living in the hotel has naturally increased." ”

"Forget it, two is two." Chu Liuxiang spoke on the side, "Lao Hu, you and I are in the same room." ”

"Okay!" The shopkeeper quickly answered and took the three people upstairs attentively. This inn is the only one in the town, and although it is not very large, it is good to be clean and tidy. But now there are only two lower rooms, and all of them have been booked.

Chu Liuxiang and the two of them naturally didn't have any opinions, what they were worried about was whether Ye Changsheng would be able to sleep in a low-class room, after all, how difficult it was for this person to raise them, they had already learned it in the past few days.

Ye Changsheng followed the two of them and entered a small guest room in the innermost. Chu Liuxiang looked around, then turned back to Xiao'er and said, "Little second brother, please boil some hot water for us and send it up, we want to bathe." After speaking, he took out a few ingots of silver and stuffed them: "I want to trouble you to help us buy a few quilts." ”

Xiao Er took the silver in his hand, looked at Chu Liuxiang puzzled, then looked at Hu Tiehua, and asked with a little doubt: "Guest officer...... It's not cold here, and the ones prepared by the inn are enough, so we really don't need so many quilts. ”

"You just have to do it." Chu Liuxiang didn't answer his question, but just repeated his request, Xiao Er saw that the uncle didn't mean to speak anymore, so he hurriedly stuffed the silver into his pocket and went out, anyway, a few quilts didn't cost a tael or two, and the rest was his errand fee.

"We're late, there are only these two inferior rooms, you live first, and we'll make plans tomorrow." Chu Liuxiang turned around and said to Ye Changsheng.

"It's actually pretty good." Ye Changsheng groped around, and was quite satisfied with the environment of the room, although he had never lived in such a bad place in his life, but no matter how bad the ruined temple was, this was nothing.

"Alright, I'll have them bring you hot water later, you take a shower first, and then we'll have dinner." Chu Liuxiang finished instructing to settle the people, and opened the door with Hu Tiehua to go to his room to have a look.

Half an hour later, the shopkeeper really came in with a few quilts, and a few handymen behind him carried a large wooden bucket, and then began to heat the water inside.

Ye Changsheng sat at the table in the room, eating snacks while watching them make their beds and add bath water, and he was in a good mood. He has not taken a good bath since he came out for nearly 20 days, before it was inconvenient in the carriage, and then he was sick and couldn't take a bath, and now he feels itchy when he sees the hot water.

After pouring the water, a few handymen retreated, and Xiao Er also spread the quilt on the bed layer by layer, and after ensuring that it was soft and comfortable, he asked diligently: "This little boy, do you need a little help to take a bath?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Liuxiang, who walked in outside the door, answered for him: "No need, you go down first, and we will call you when we need to heat water." ”

"Yes, yes, the small one will retire." For guests who give a lot of money, the shopkeeper is always very polite.

Ye Changsheng finished eating the last piece of walnut crisp, raised his eyes and saw Chu Liuxiang turn around and close the door, then walked to the bucket and stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, turned his head to him and said, "Changsheng, take off your clothes quickly, otherwise the water will be cold." ”

Listening to his words, Ye Changsheng nodded: "Okay." He basically trusted Chu Liuxiang completely, so he said whatever he said, and stood up and unbuttoned it very obediently.

Chu Liuxiang had never served anyone to bathe before, not even those cute and beautiful girls who had some feelings with him, but now he came over to serve the little ancestor by himself, which was really a wonderful thing. He just thought that the little master was so picky about even eating, and he must have someone to help him when he wanted to take a bath, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel at ease, so he simply came over by himself.

As it turned out, he was absolutely right in his thinking. Because Ye Changsheng not only couldn't take a bath alone, he couldn't even take off his clothes completely.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was struggling with his clothes, Chu Liuxiang sighed, and stepped forward to take over the young man's movements as if he was resigned: "I'll come." ”

"Hmm......" Ye Changsheng blushed a little and was a little shy, it turned out that after leaving the people, he didn't even know how to untie his clothes.

Chu Liuxiang's hands were much more skillful than him, and the button that he was fighting with Ye Changsheng to the end just now was untied in three or two clicks. This made Ye Changsheng a little envious, and whispered: "I'll do the rest by myself." ”

Without the belt to wrap around, his next underwear and pants were quickly removed. After a while, Ye Changsheng stripped himself off to the innermost lining, and turned into a sleek white and soft little phoenix.

He stepped on the stool and carefully climbed into the bucket and sat down, and as soon as he was wrapped in the hot water he had not seen for a long time, he squinted comfortably and couldn't help but snort.

Amused by his appearance of enjoying it like a little old man, Chu Liuxiang opened his mouth and smiled: "So happy? ”

Ye Changsheng opened his eyes and replied, "When I was at home, I liked to take a bath, and I had to soak it every day." ”

Chu Liuxiang shook his head with a smile, and didn't say that it was because he was born too well, and ordinary people sometimes can't afford to boil hot water in winter, let alone take a bath. He took off his robe and rolled up his sleeves and walked over: "Changsheng sit down, I'll wash your hair." ”

Warm water was slowly poured down from his head, and Ye Changsheng obediently sat in the bucket and asked Chu Liuxiang to wash his hair. Chu Liuxiang's hand gently rubbed and shuttled in his hair, picking his hair little by little, and then gently rubbing and lathering from the bottom to the top with a honey locust, with a gentle attitude as if he was holding silk.

But it is indeed very similar to silk, Chu Liuxiang played with the light and soft and smooth hair in his hand, and sighed in his heart that it was worthy of being raised by a big family, each one was like the best silk, and there was no weight at all in holding it in his hand.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes were on a handful of green silk in his hand, and he lightened every movement, for fear of hurting the delicate little master.

"Brother Chu, when are we going to find Tianjia?" Ye Changsheng was comfortably served, and sat cross-legged in the bucket and asked him.

"Let's inquire along the way in this area first, if there is no news, I will take you to Pingzhou, maybe your guard has already gone to Pingzhou to find you." Chu Liuxiang said his plan, he had already made up his mind to escort people to the end.

"Thank you......" Ye Changsheng said gratefully, Brother Chu is really a peerless good person.

"Hmm...... What about Dabai? Ye Changsheng thought about it and asked him what he was more concerned about now.

"Big White?" Chu Liuxiang rubbed his hair attentively and didn't understand, when will it be white again?

Ye Changsheng moved his body embarrassedly, "That's it, it's your horse." ”

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and posted again: "Da Bai? ”

After all, it is someone else's horse, and it is not good to give him an unauthorized name, Ye Changsheng was a little ashamed: "He played with me all the way, so I named him Dabai." ”

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "It was led to the stable by Xiao Er, don't worry." ”

"Oh......" Ye Changsheng lowered his head to play in the water, pretending to be very indifferent and asked lightly, "Then can I go to play with him after eating?" ”

After all, he is still a child, Chu Liuxiang felt that he liked to tease him more and more, so he was funny in his heart, but he pretended to be stern and said: "No, you have to go to bed early later, and Dabai also has to eat and rest, you can go to play with him tomorrow." ”

Without permission, Ye Changsheng was a little disappointed.

"Close your eyes." Chu Liuxiang picked up a water ladle and rinsed the foam on his head. However, even so, there was still water accidentally rushing into his eyes, and Ye Changsheng raised his hand uncomfortably to rub his eyes.

"Changsheng, don't rub it with your hands." Chu Liuxiang put down the water ladle and held Ye Changsheng's face with a soft towel and wiped it carefully for him.

Because he was going to take a bath, Ye Changsheng didn't use a mask at the moment, Chu Liuxiang still seriously wiped the water that sprayed him in his eyes at first, but then he was gradually attracted by this delicate and beautiful face.

Even though Chu Liuxiang has read countless people and has seen many beauties in his life, he still has to admit that this face is indeed attractive to him, and it makes him feel a little different when he rubs it.

Reasoning himself is not the kind of frivolous person who likes to see a beauty, but why does he always have a strange idea when he sees this child?

Chu Liuxiang couldn't figure out his heart.

"Brother Chu, are you alright?" Ye Changsheng closed his eyes for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.

Chu Liuxiang came to her senses and hurriedly let go of her hand: "Okay, it's been wiped clean." ”

Ye Changsheng opened his eyes at this time, because he was soaking in a hot bath, his white and tender face was flushed with heat, and even his eyes that had been stimulated by the water were red, and he was looking at Chu Liuxiang wet and blank, which made Chu Liuxiang's heart even more strange.

"Brother Chu?" Ye Changsheng saw clearly the person in front of him who seemed to be in a daze, and called out twice curiously.

Chu Liuxiang hurriedly came back to his senses, "It's okay, I'll go and ask someone to add more hot water for you, it seems to be a little cold." With that, he hurried out, feeling a little hasty.

Ye Changsheng sat in the water inexplicably, the water was obviously not cold......
