The fourth day of the eighth month, the market day.

The town's bazaar is not too lively.

Xi Ning noticed the strangeness here, turned his head to Xia Yichen and said, "I'll go and inquire, you wait for me." ”

After that, he went to an old man who sold fruit next to him.

"Uncle, are you so lonely today?" Xi Ning picked a few fruits.

The old man sighed helplessly: "Today you are the first deal!" Hey, several villages have been affected, and our town is now surrounded by oceans on three sides, and mountains on the other side, so we can't get out! Who will do the business? ”

Xi Ning was stunned: "So, in a short period of time, the people in the town can't get out?" ”

The old man shook his head: "How can it be possible to go out, and the bird can fly out!" ”

Xi Ning paid the silver a little abruptly, and did not forget to bargain.

"Let's eat the fruit first," Xi Ning handed a fruit to Xia Yichen and stood on the street corner, "This place has become an isolated island, I'm afraid we will stay for at least a few days before we get out." Does the Blood Pact have rudders or anything like that in this place of the hell? ”

Xia Yichen took the fruit and weighed it a few times suspiciously: "Where did you get the silver?" "You are a prince, and it has become a habit for him to go out without money.

Xi Ning felt funny: "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to steal?" I'm not like you who always have a golden spoon in your mouth, and when you're away from home, you have to have spare money! Well, this is for you as a spare spend! As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver from his body and handed it to Xia Yichen.

Xia Yichen shook his head helplessly, but with a little bit of pleasure: "My family Xining is a treasure!" ”

"Young poor mouth," Xi Ning nibbled on the fruit, "Is there anyone in the Blood Alliance here?" ”

"Nope. This town is not a big place, so we guess we will have to wait for the flood waters to recede first. When the road is open, there is a plan for the next step. Xia Yichen said seriously.

"Then let's find a house to live in first, as long as there is a place to live, the rest is easy. However, this place is all blocked, will it be impossible to buy food and drink at sky-high prices? Xi Ning couldn't help but worry.

Xia Yichen thought for a moment: "Let's see if I will open a position, even if I open a position to buy and sell - Xi Ning." How much money do you have with you? ”

"Shh," Xi Ning gestured with his index finger on his lips, "You call me my real name." What if Mo Xuan's people find out? ”

Xia Yichen smiled like a fox: "That's right, Aning, how much money do you have on you?" ”

Xi Ning gritted his teeth and slapped his forehead - you don't need to be so numb!

"There is a lot of money, gold and silver and silver tickets. All of them. Normal spending is enough for you for half your life, what's wrong? "Joke, she was the No. 1 pharmacist in Daqian at the beginning, and half of her net worth was brought to Xihai, although she has used a lot now, the rest is not a small amount.

"Why did you bring so much money?" Xia Yichen frowned, incredulous.

"That's not the point, the point is. What do you eat, drink, and live in now? Xi Ning turned the subject back.

Xia Yichen thought for a while: "I'm afraid that the small officials in the town will be unreliable, if I go to them." It's that their identities have been exposed, but I'm afraid they don't have the ability to protect us. Since you have so much money on you, the guest house should be enough, but we don't look like the guest house. ”

"Yes, yes," Xi Ning nodded, "You must clean up the guest house, your appearance is so eye-catching, it must not work, let's find a private house!" ”

Xia Yichen was very angry with her four words "eye-catching" - what's wrong with how good she looks? Everyone likes to look good, why do you say that I am dangerous - but the next moment, he realized that he didn't care about Xi Ning's appearance at the beginning, and he realized that it didn't matter how he looked.

If it's not important, why are you bothering about it?

Xia Yichen held a breath in his chest, turned around and left: "Go to the nearby village to have a look, I hope it will be bigger." ”

Xi Ning listened to his unhappy tone, and was a little puzzled: Just said that you are eye-catching, why are you in a bad mood?

The two left the town.

The village in front of it was not affected by the disaster because it was close to the town, but many refugees gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall to receive relief.

Xi Ning shook his head, observed for a while, and pulled an uncle who was dressed like a local resident: "Uncle, who are the people gathered over there?" ”

The uncle glanced at Xi Ning: "You also suffered a disaster, right?" Hey, that's a famous squire in our village, surnamed Zhong, his ancestors have been a jinshi, and he came here after resigning! Do good deeds often, you hurry up! ”

It turned out to be a family of cultivators: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Xi Ning thanked him and turned to Xia Yichen and said, "Let's go and ask for something to eat first, and see if that Squire Zhong can provide a foot and three inches to rest." ”

Xia Yichen frowned: "Gentlemen don't eat the food that comes from them." ”

"You're still a gentleman," Xi Ning pouted, "It's lifeless to see how you are a gentleman and pedantic." Being able to bend and stretch is a big husband! ”

Xia Yichen was angry again, only to feel more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and he must take revenge.

So, in the following negotiations, he really acted.

"My daughter-in-law and I rushed down from the upstream, and we stopped here because we grabbed the trunk of the tree because of our fate, and now we are ......not familiar with the place," Xia Yichen took the initiative to stand up and answer Steward Zhong's question.

Xi Ning glared at him secretly: Who is your daughter-in-law?

But right now, except for husband and wife and brother and sister, there is no better identity.

Then why don't you choose a brother and sister! What to choose a couple! Who is going to be your wife!

Xi Ning has words of suffering.

Xia Yichen smiled proudly in his heart: This strategy kills two birds with one stone.

Steward Zhong handed two bowls of porridge to Xia Yichen: "Now that the road is flooded, you can't go back." What's your last name and what did you do originally? ”

Xia Yichen took the porridge bowl and handed it a bowl to Xi Ning: "The contemptible surname is Hua Mingchen, who was originally a nurse, but unfortunately the main family suffered a disaster." ”

In addition to martial arts and literacy, he really didn't know what kind of livelihood skills he had.

Literate, but with ordinary learning, he can't be a gentleman; That's just a nursing home, this profession is inconspicuous.

Xi Ning secretly agreed on the side.

If it's too lowly, this guy will definitely not pretend to be like it, and their appearance is not like it. If it is said that it is a large family as a nursing home, and has seen some of the world, it is reasonable. And then smear the face a little bit, it must be like.

Xi Ning drank the porridge silently.

In terms of acting, Xia Yichen is doing it, she just had a fever, and she is tired enough to walk so far.

It is better to leave this kind of matter to a man to negotiate, after all, in ancient times, women should have hid in the yard to embroider.

As a result, after some negotiations, the Zhong family actually agreed to temporarily take them in and let Xia Yichen go to be a nursing home. But it was only for food and drink, and there was no monthly money, and when he found the original master's house, he would discuss other things.

Xi Ning secretly gave Xia Yichen a thumbs up.

In the courtyard of the inverted house, a hut was given to Xia Yichen.

"Freshen up and rest today, and start working tomorrow," Steward Zhong looked kind, "What did your daughter-in-law do in the past, can you help in the inner courtyard?" ”

However, Xi Ning didn't think that Steward Zhong was easy to handle, he just looked kind.

Xia Yichen continued to help Xi Ning lie: "I served the old lady of the original master's family, and then the old lady went and let it out." ”

Xi Ning resisted the urge to stick out his tongue - this guy knows a lot about the inner house!

Steward Zhong didn't say anything immediately, only said: "These days, the disaster victims are wandering, and there are many things in the outer courtyard, so I recruited you over." How about the inner courtyard, I still have to ask the lady to be good. ”

Xi Ning pulled Xia Yichen into the house, and then showed an anxious look: "Why do you say that we are husband and wife, brother and sister are not good?" You see, now live in a room! She pouted and looked at the room, which was not very large, a bed, a table, a few wooden stools, and a large box.

However, there is only one bed!

Xia Yichen hooked the corners of his lips, as if smiling: "If you want to talk about brother and sister, they won't accept it, and they will prepare an extra room for you!" ”

"You!" Xi Ning had to admit that what this guy said made some sense.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the floor and you will sleep on the bed," Xia Yichen said seriously, "If it's really far away from you, I'm not at ease, what if someone beats you at night?" ”

"And what if you hit me?" Xi Ning crossed his waist and said angrily.

Xia Yichen smiled: "I want to beat you, I have already beaten you, why take advantage of others?" ”

Xi Ning turned his head angrily, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Also, what is the surname Hua for?" ”

"I can't say that my surname is Xia," Xia Yichen felt that Xi Ning's angry look was very funny, "so he used Hua Xu's Hua." ”

Xi Ning raised his cheeks: "Then you remember, my maiden name is Ji, and my name is Ji Ning!" "Still not angry.

Xia Yichen didn't ask the reason, only smiled and said that he remembered it, and then went to fetch water to let Xining freshen up.

After grooming, Xi Ning took a handful of ash to smear his face a little, and used charcoal to draw his eyebrows apart, and smeared the bridge of his nose more blackened so that the contour was not so distinct. On the whole, she is a woman with delicate facial features but not outstanding.

Xi Ning walked out of the door and saw Xia Yichen meditating in the courtyard.

It was early afternoon, and the nurses were on duty. The weather was too hot, and their family members were closed, and only Xia Yichen was in the yard.

"Are your internal injuries healed?" Xi Ning squatted down and asked.

Xia Yichen opened his eyes and looked at the delicate and soft blue-clothed woman in front of him, and almost didn't recognize Xi Ning: "You ......"

"What am I, you go and clean yourself up, and I will also help you change your appearance, you must know that Lu Dao has changed so many small places, and you can change a lot!" Xi Ning herded him into the house.

Not long after, Xi Ning also blackened Xia Yichen's face, his eyebrows were painted thicker, and the bridge of his nose was darkened, and then he sighed: "Well, I will immediately transform into a sunny and hearty big boy!" ”

Xia Yichen's face was a little darker: Who wants to be a big boy?

"I'm going to be on duty tomorrow, what are you doing here?" He looked at the calm and calm woman in front of him with some concern.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Xi Ning smiled disappreciatively, "I'm not powerless now, what's more, what will happen to the Zhong family?" It's broad daylight again? (To be continued......)
