Chapter 123: Sleeping in the Wild (2)
It may be that she slept a little too much in the car in the afternoon, and Jian Ning couldn't sleep in the carriage at night. Because she didn't want to make Xi'er rest, she couldn't turn over often, so she just lay straight and looked at the roof of the carriage with her eyes open.
Although it was already night, the moonlight outside was shining through the windows of the car, and it didn't look too dark.
The wind outside gradually became louder, and since it was in the wild, the cries of some unknown animals could still be heard. Jian Ning felt that Xi'er beside her was already asleep, so she tiptoed out of the carriage.
As soon as his feet stepped on the ground, he suddenly felt a person standing behind him, and he was startled and almost screamed.
However, the man covered his mouth in time, made a silent motion, and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep, why did you come out?" ”
Jian Ning saw that familiar face and heard the familiar voice, the heart she was carrying just now finally put it back in her stomach, and she also said in a low voice: "I can't sleep, so I want to go out for a walk." ”
"It's too late, there might be something here, it's too dangerous, you better go back to sleep!"
"But I really can't sleep" Listening to Xiahou Yan's words, Jian Ning said a little helplessly.
Seeing that Jian Ning didn't want to go back, Xiahou Yan couldn't bear it, so he said to her: "Then I'll accompany you." ”
Hearing Xiahou Yan's words, a charming smile bloomed on Jian Ning's face.
"I'm afraid they'll be noisy here, so I'll take you somewhere else." After speaking, he looked at Jian Ning, waiting for her opinion.
Jian Ning nodded. In the next second, he was taken away from the ground by Xiahou Yan. Due to the high speed, the wind blew on Jian Ning's face. There is a feeling of pain. It was as if he knew what Jian Ning was thinking. Xiahou Yan blocked Jian Ning's face with his other hand.
Jian Ning was stunned for a moment. There is a faint magnolia fragrance on his body, which smells very good. Unconsciously, his eyes stared at Xia Houyan's face for a long time. Although this face is not stunning, it can also be called a handsome guy.
Feeling the gaze of the person in his arms who had been staring at his face, Xiahou Yan felt a little embarrassed for the first time, found a big tree, and sat on the trunk with Jian Ning carefully.
"Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?" After sitting down, Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning and asked.
"Suddenly I don't feel like you're a guy who can't afford to eat. People who need to live by being a guard. When Jian Ning heard Xiahou Yan ask, she still looked at him straight and said with a scrutiny.
"Oh, and what do you think I look like?" Xiahou Yan didn't feel a trace nervous when he heard Jian Ning's words, but asked with a smile.
"Your martial arts should be very good, you don't look bad, and you don't look like a slave all over your body, you look more like those chivalrous people written in the book!" Jian Ning suddenly thought of the chivalrous warriors who fought the sword world in the novel before, and then said.
However, Jian Ning also knew that this was unlikely. If she was really a chivalrous person, how could she come to her side as a little guard. Those who are in the rivers and lakes. I like to be at ease the most, and I will never be willing to be someone else's subordinate, especially a little guard for a little-known little woman like her.
"The knight in the book?" Xiahou Yan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that in Jian Ning's eyes, he actually looked like a person in the rivers and lakes.
"Well, because the descriptions of chivalry in the book are all young men with high martial arts and good looks."
Listening to Jian Ning's words, Xiahou Yan was a little unconvinced, there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes, especially those who pretend to be chivalrous, I am afraid they will not be able to take their own moves. Speaking of appearance, this face is stronger than ordinary people, if it is his original face, it can be a hundred times stronger than the current one with a disguise.
"Don't you have anyone else in your house? How did you get to Yangxin County? Jian Ning looked at Xiahou Yan and stopped talking, so she asked.
"I also have a younger sister." Xiahou Yan said lightly. Although there are many people who are related to him in the place where he lives, in his heart, the only thing he admits is that sister.
"What about your sister?" Jian Ning was surprised, it turned out that he also had a younger sister.
"She was at home some time ago, and now she is estimated to be on her way to Kyoto." Xiahou Yan said lightly.
"Huh? Your sister also goes to Kyoto? Why not with you? Jian Ning was shocked again and asked puzzled.
"I came out early, and I didn't go together." Xiahou Yan replied simply.
"Did she go to Kyoto to see the God of Food?" Jian Ning asked. Now almost everyone in the country is paying attention to this God of Food Competition. And his sister went to Kyoto at this time, so she had to make Jian Ning guess so.
"Hmm." Xiahou Yan responded lightly.
"Have you ever been to a place other than Yuanchu?" Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning and suddenly asked.
"Hehe, don't say it's outside of Yuanchu, before this, I didn't even go out of Yangxin County." Jian Ning replied with a smile. This is not only her, but also Jian Ning before, who has indeed never been out of Yangxin County in her memory.
"And do you want to see it someday? Maybe you'll find a place you like more. Xiahou Yan's tone suddenly had a hint of urgency.
"Well, I never thought about it before. But hearing you say that, maybe I'll go out and check it out one day. Jian Ning replied with a smile. However, Jian Ning knew in her heart that for now, she probably didn't have that time to play. Besides, she hasn't even traveled through Yuan Chu yet!
"Then if there is a better place than Yangxin County, are you willing to stay?" When he first heard Jian Ning's previous words, Xiahou Yan felt a deep sense of loss, but the latter words made him hopeful.
"I don't know if this will happen until I encounter it," Jian Ning thought about it and said lightly. She is not Jian Ning before, whether it is Yangxin County or Yuan Chu, it is just a place for her, and she has no special feelings, so if she really encounters a better place in the future, she may also stay.
"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" Jian Ning thought about it, and suddenly looked at Xiahou Yan strangely, and he always felt that his questions were strange recently.
"No, just ask." A hint of unnaturalness flashed in Xiahou Yan's eyes, but it was still very well concealed. As time passed, the time he spent by Jian Ning's side was also shortened accordingly.
The two of them fell silent all of a sudden, stopped talking, Jian Ning looked up at the round moon, tomorrow will be fifteen, and the moon will become round.
Xiahou Yan looked at such a quiet Jian Ning, and suddenly felt that such a picture was so beautiful! It's so beautiful that I can't bear to break it.
After a long time, Jian Ning almost fell asleep, only to hear Xiahou Yan's warm voice coming: "Let's go back!" ”
"Hmm." Answered lightly.
She was already very accustomed to Xia Hou Yan flying with her like this, because she was sleepy, this time Jian Ning was groggy and leaned on Xia Hou Yan all the way.
Xia Houyan looked at the sleeping face of the person in his arms, and for the first time he had a feeling that he didn't want to let go. But he finally returned to the carriage.
Everyone was still asleep and didn't wake anyone up, Jian Ning gently got into the carriage, and Xiahou Yan also returned to the fire and sat quietly.
Early the next morning, they set out again, and then went on their way. Before the sun set, we rushed to the Pingde Inn, the only inn within a radius of 100 miles.
Usually there are merchants who come and go, and the inns are small and have no decorations. There was only one junior in the inn, and seeing Jian Ning's carriage was not as enthusiastic as those junior lieutenants before.
Liu Leshan went directly into the inn, walked to the counter, and said to the boss who had been making calculations without raising his head: "Boss, come to the three upper rooms." ”
The boss raised his head and looked at Liu Leshan, and said, "I'm sorry, the guest officer, there are many guests today, and there is no room anymore." ”
"What about the ordinary room?" Liu Leshan was surprised, did he encounter some caravan?
"Then there are only two left."
"Two? Is there no other room? "If there are really only two rooms left, then Ning'er's room will have to live four people, which is really too crowded.
"No more. Are the two tenants still occupied? If it's a little later, I'm afraid there won't even be these two. The boss reminded unhurriedly.
"Senior brother, two rooms are just two rooms, and it's only one night." Jian Ning saw Liu Leshan's hesitation, and then said.
"Okay." Hearing Jian Ning say this, Liu Leshan also agreed. Then he turned to the boss and said, "I want these two rooms, prepare the food and send it to the room." ”
"Ngawang, take them to the two empty rooms upstairs." The boss shouted at the little two.
"Okay." The little er, who was called Ah Wang, immediately took Jian Ning and a few people to the upstairs guest room.
Jian Ning stepped on the narrow staircase, listening to the creaking sound of the wooden planks, and was worried that the staircase would collapse.
When I got to the room, the furnishings inside were as simple as this inn. A large bed, a cupboard, a table, four benches, a screen, a tub, and nothing else. I don't even have a dresser.
Looking at the bed, although it was big, it still seemed a little difficult to sleep four people.
"Miss, don't worry, I'll bring the quilt from the carriage in a moment. You can make do with those four benches. Ruan Zijin looked at Jian Ning's slightly frowning brow and embarrassed look, and immediately spoke.
"I'll do the same, just make a bed and quilt on the floor." Su Tong listened to Ruan Zijin's words and spoke.
In fact, she thought from the beginning that it was impossible for four people to sleep in the same bed, and she had already guessed such a situation.
"Miss, then I" Xi'er heard the words of the two, and immediately wanted to speak, but before the words could be spoken, Jian Ning blocked back.
"Forget it, sleep in bed with me!" (To be continued......)
