There was a revision in the previous chapter

Although she was talking about life and death, Xiao Jinglin's tone was still indifferent: "...... My first warhorse was raised by myself since I was a child, and its name was Snow Eagle, and it was also eaten. The war horses that are regarded as comrades-in-arms are still like this, but they are camels. A camel can keep a good team of twenty people fighting for four or five days. Four or five days is enough to hold out until reinforcements are found. ”

Ren Yaoqi listened to Xiao Jinglin's words, and couldn't help but be curious about what she had happened to over the years, Xiao Jinglin was no more than two or three years older than her current age, but when she talked about these things, she seemed calm and vicissitudes, and her immature and beautiful face was very incongruous.

Xiao Jinglin noticed that Ren Yaoqi was looking at her seriously, and her words couldn't help but pause: "I'm sorry, you may not like to listen to what I say." ”

Ren Yaochi smiled and said, "How come? No one has ever told me about the battlefield, and I find it very new. ”

Xiao Jinglin shook her head seriously: "In ancient times, a few people came back to fight, and things on the battlefield have always been cruel. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jinglin's delicate smile had a heavy expression, Ren Yaoqi smiled and changed the topic: "Has the county lord ever learned martial arts?" Last time you were at the White Dragon Temple, you threw the lucky bell quite accurately. When I was a child, every time I went to the temple to offer incense, my mother would ask me to throw a few coins, but I never got it. ”

Xiao Jinglin nodded when she heard this: "Well, I started to learn riding and archery and hand-to-hand kung fu from Uncle Wei Chi when I was three years old. ”

"Three?" Ren Yao was slightly stunned, that was the age when he just learned to run and jump, right?

"It's bitter, isn't it?"

"Bitter?" Xiao Jinglin's eyes were a little surprised, as if she had never thought about this problem, she subconsciously stretched out her right hand and looked down at her palm.

Ren Yaochi also looked down at her palm, but found that her right hand, which was supposed to be slender and soft, had clearer joints than ordinary women, and thick calluses on the palms and middle of her fingers, Xiao Jinglin's hands were obviously rougher than ordinary women's hands.

Xiao Jinglin slowly clenched her palm. Fu raised his head again, his eyes were calm, but he shook his head: "It's not bitter." ”

Ren Yaochi suddenly didn't know how to answer this sentence.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, until Xiao Jinglin took the initiative to speak: "What about you, how did you live when you were a child?" ”

Ren Yaochi was silent for a while before he said: "Write, draw, and read every day." ”

She was silent not because she couldn't answer, but because she couldn't remember what happened when she was a child, but it was probably nothing more than that.

Xiao Jinglin was thoughtful when she heard this: "How can you be the same as Xiao Jingxi?" No wonder you can talk about it. ”

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

"Hmm. There was also needlework and arguing with my sister. Ren Yaochi added with a smile.

Xiao Jinglin was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it: "He definitely won't needlework, ...... quarrel" Xiao Jinglin shook her head.

"You don't get along with your sister?" Xiao Jinglin asked.

This question made Ren Yaoqi think for a moment: "Maybe I'm jealous that she is more favored than me in front of my mother." ”

Xiao Jinglin nodded as a matter of course: "I see." Xiao Jingxi is more favored by my elders than me, but I won't beat him for this reason. ”

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

At this time, Dong Sheng, who was driving the car outside, shouted, the carriage stopped steadily, Xiao Jinglin opened the curtain and glanced out, and Ren Yaoqi's eyes fell on the outside of the carriage.

It's still outside the city, and horse-drawn carriages run on mountain roads lined with gently undulating hills. However, this should be a place where there is no shop in front of the village and no store in the back.

Ren Yaochi thought that he hadn't asked them where they were going. was about to ask, but Xiao Jinglin said lightly: "The carriage behind didn't follow?" ”

Dongsheng's voice sounded through the curtain: "Back to the county lord, I have already thrown it off." ”

Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be stunned: "Someone is following us? ”

Xiao Jinglin didn't speak, and Ren Yaochi suddenly seemed to think of something: "Is it from the Ren family?" ”

When they went out just now, they met the old lady Ren. Old lady Ren should have heard that the county lord was coming and deliberately rushed back, but Xiao Jinglin refused his intention to let someone from the Ren family be a guide, and Old lady Ren still sent Ren to follow?

Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Well, we've been following since we left the house." But they didn't come quietly. Presumably I don't worry about your safety, so let people follow far behind. ”

Ren Yaoqi didn't think so, and all the Ren family was thinking about now was how to follow Xiao Jinglin to the Yanbei Palace. Where is there to worry about her safety. But she naturally wouldn't say this kind of thing to Xiao Jinglin.

On the contrary, Xiao Jinglin explained slightly apologetically: "I don't like people to follow, so I ordered the little guy early in the morning to find a way to get rid of it as long as someone comes up." ”

Ren Yaochi nodded and said with a smile: "I forgot to ask, where are we going?" ”

Xiao Jinglin was even more puzzled than Ren Yaoqi: "Didn't you say it?" Let's go shopping in the streets. ”

At this time, the carriage moved again, and Ren Yaoqi found that the carriage began to turn around.

Could it be that they ran so far out of the city just to get rid of the blatant stalking of the people sent by the Ren family? Wouldn't it be faster for people to go down and tell those people not to follow? Ren Yaochi felt that he was still a little unable to keep up with Xiao Jinglin's train of thought.

So the carriage began to return to the city again. Ren Yaoqi paid attention to the scenery outside the carriage and found that it was not the same road when he went out of the city with them, and it was obvious that Dongsheng was also very familiar with the terrain of Baihe Town.

At this time, it was almost noon, and many merchants who passed through Baihe Town on the official road began to pour into the town. Although Baihe Town is called a town, it is much larger than ordinary towns, and the main roads in the town are full of shops. Of course, the most shops are all kinds of restaurants and inns.

Xiao Jinglin's carriage was passing by the "Fengxian Building" mentioned by the old lady before, Xiao Jinglin glanced at it and retracted her gaze, obviously not interested in this place.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to eat." Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yao.

Ren Yaochi nodded, she had also been in contact with the market after leaving the Ren family in her previous life, but when she was in the Ren family, she had not eaten outside except for eating food in the temple when she went to the temple to offer incense.

There are many restaurants and restaurants in Baihe Town, but they generally receive business travelers, and there are very few that can be of high grade. "Fengxian Building" is a relatively good restaurant in Baihe Town.

The carriage slowly marched down an alley and off the town's main street. Ren Yaoqi found that the surrounding scenery was familiar, because she had been here a few times. This is an alley near the Guan Gong Temple.

Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi: "The walk is narrower inside, you bring one or two maids, and the rest of the people let them wait in that teahouse." ”

The teahouse that Xiao Jinglin said was on the right side of the carriage, and it looked quite decent.

Ren Yaoqi did not object, and asked Dongsheng to go to the back to call the apple over, and asked the rest of the people to follow Mulberry to wait in the teahouse.

After a while, Apple was taken into the carriage, which continued on its way.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop. Xiao Jinglin was the first to get out of the car.

Apple first Ren Yaoqi got out of the carriage and turned around to help Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaochi found that they had entered a relatively narrow alley, the alley was very long, but they could only barely drive in a carriage, and it was also Dongsheng's superb skills that they could come in smoothly and steadily.

As soon as Ren Yao got out of the carriage, he smelled a strong aroma of lo-mei.

It turned out that in front of the carriage was a store that bought braised donkey meat, which looked small, and there was not even a formal plaque, only a bamboo pole was used to prop up a quick cloth curtain, on which were written the neat and featureless words "braised donkey meat".

After Xiao Jinglin got out of the carriage, she went straight into the store, and only when she entered the door did she remember that Ren Yaochi was still behind, so she turned around and came out again, and beckoned to Ren Yaoqi: "Come in, this is it." ”

It's not yet time to eat, and the store isn't very eye-catching, so there aren't many people around. Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming, Xiao Jinglin turned back to walk on her own, but walked a little slower.

After entering, Ren Yaoqi found that although this small shop is not big, it is very neat and clean, and there are only four wooden tables in front of the façade, and there are some unnamed wildflowers and weeds in clay pots on the table, which adds a bit of interest.

As soon as the curtain in the middle was lifted, a woman in her forties walked out, and when she saw Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi coming in, she hurriedly smiled and came forward to greet her.

Xiao Jinglin said to her, "Put the table in the backyard." ”

The woman answered, turning her head and calling in.

A woman of about twenty years old with a woman's hair came out with a boy of seven or eight years old.

The woman told the young woman to go and set the table in the backyard.

The boy's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Jinglin, and he immediately ran over: "General, you are here." When I went to pick flowers with my sister-in-law in the morning, I also picked fresh mushrooms, and my mother will cook soup for you later. ”

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin in surprise, who did Xiao Jinglin know?

The woman came over and patted him on the head, and whispered reproach, "Why don't you go with your sister-in-law to set the table?" Don't scare the guests. ”

Only then did the boy see Ren Yaochi behind Xiao Jinglin, but he didn't recognize his life, and grinned at Ren Yaoqi.

Xiao Jinglin said to him: "Didn't I say it, I'm not a general." ”

But the boy stubbornly said, "You will be!" When you become a general, I will follow you to the battlefield like my father! ”

The woman's face sank, grabbed the boy's ears and pulled him aside: "Mo Xiaoliang, have you finished practicing today's words?" Could it be that you also want to learn your father's big characters and don't know one? ”

Mo Xiaoliang grinned, wanting to cry out in pain, but when he saw Xiao Jinglin here, he couldn't help it, and only muttered in a low voice: "What's the use of knowing words?" Didn't our signboard be written by a fortune teller at the mouth of the alley? What else do you want me to read! We don't need ten or eight signboards in our store. ”
