Chapter 455: Knowingly Asking
Even if Xiao Jing was injured, the two of them couldn't stay where they were to rest calmly.
Dozens of miles is a short distance for the cavalry of the Hu people. Although sending people south to search would risk being pursued by the tail of the Da Rui army, as long as Zha Muzhao made up his mind, it was very likely that Lu Shanshan, who had managed to escape with great difficulty, would fall into his hands again.
Therefore, Xiao Jing had to continue to ride south after the sky was bright.
His injuries were only flesh wounds, and as long as they were handled properly, they would not be a big problem; However, riding a horse is inevitably bumpy, and even if the speed is reduced, it will affect the injury, and the "autumn tiger" is raging, and the sweaty heat is the enemy of the wound healing.
Over time, his wounds became infected.
Even so, Xiao Jing, who was worried in his heart, still insisted on moving forward; Lu Shanshan couldn't resist him, so she had to set up a carriage and drive him south for more than 100 miles, only then did he reach the boundary that was completely controlled by Da Rui's army.
At the same time, Xiao Jing, who had a high fever, could no longer support it, and he fell on the bed of the inn as soon as he fainted.
There was no antipyretic medicine in these years, so Xiao Jing could only stay up for several days in a moment of clarity and confusion. When he was sober, he remembered that Lu Shanshan was by his side to feed him food and water, and he took very good care of him; When his mind was muddy, someone wiped his body and urinated, although he was confused and didn't remember who the person was, he always felt that the breath around him was very familiar.
After a few more days, Xiao Jing, who escaped after being seriously injured last time, finally survived.
Since he was able to barely get out of bed by holding on to the wall, he has never asked Lu Shanshan to do anything other than deliver food and water.
Because as his thinking gradually became clearer, Xiao Jing realized a problem:
It seems that Lu Shanshan is the only one who has been taking care of herself in the past few days, and the person who doesn't remember the face but feels very familiar is actually her!
That's embarrassing.
He is nominally the Khan of Khan, but in fact he is a girl who has not left the cabinet, why should he serve him as a big man without any scruples?
Although Hu Nu is arrogant, Lu Shanshan is not a real grassland woman, and it is impossible to say that she doesn't mind at all in her heart.
At the beginning, Xia Hanxue was able to take care of him untirelessly, and that was also because the two had already been in love for three lives, and Xue'er, who was not married to the king, was in a hurry to obey the power, so there were not so many taboos.
Speaking of which, Xiao Jing always felt that poverty was to blame.
Lu Shanshan, who was rescued, didn't bring any money, and Xiao Jing's little money was also spent on staying on the road and seeking medical advice.
In the immediate aftermath of the war, many people fell ill with the plague due to factors such as the contamination of water by dead bodies. If there is no offer that people really can't refuse, no one wants to take care of someone who doesn't know if they have contracted the epidemic or not.
Thinking of this section, Xiao Jing's uneasy heart suddenly felt better.
The two got along very tacitly for a while. Later, Xiao Jing, who gradually recovered her strength, felt the need to take the initiative to thank others for their kindness, so she took the opportunity of Lu Shanshan to deliver food to stop her and said, "Shanshan, you have really worked hard these days...... It's not easy to take care of me when I'm seriously ill, and your daughter's family is a lot of inconvenience...... It's really embarrassing for you. ”
Lu Shanshan glanced at him and said lightly: "It's nothing hard." You save me, I just do what I can, I can't let you die halfway, right? Hehe, where are there so many sayings? ”
Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "That's not what I said. In the final analysis, I am not good, if I bring more money, you and I will not be so embarrassed on this road, let alone work you to do the work of serving people, where have you done these things before......"
He said a lot of apologetic things, and Lu Shanshan was stubble at first, but soon became a cold bystander; In the end, her face gradually became a little gloomy, and when Xiao Jing finished eating, she directly took the tableware out, and didn't speak again until she went out.
Xiao Jing let out a long sigh. He didn't know if he had made it clear, but Lu Shanshan didn't seem to want to hear him say this at all.
After standing there for a moment, he inadvertently tilted his head, and something that radiated a warm luster came into his eyes.
It was a delicate hosta. It lay quietly on the chair that Lu Shanshan had sat on, and it should have been quietly put down when she left.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile: Like later generations, you will never know what gadgets that a girl who loves beauty can quietly "change" from her body!
has been in a wealthy family like the Xia family for a long time, and Xiao Jing, who originally didn't pay much attention to these, has also become a person who knows the goods: although this hairpin is not a famous product, it is superior in terms of workmanship and jade, and it is worth at least fifty taels of silver when he goes out to get it in the pawnshop.
It turns out that people bring more coils than me!
If she has money, then why......
Xiao Jing pondered the reason, and his eyes gradually became a little stupid.
A month later.
Because the inn was crowded with people, Lu Shanshan temporarily rented a small courtyard outside, and the two people who had been tortured by the war for a long time finally gained a short peace in a place where no one would disturb them.
Lu Shanshan is very leisurely every day, she either wanders around the town or stays in her room to write and paint, and her life is relaxed and comfortable.
Xiao Jing concentrated on conditioning his body and used this time to heal his injuries.
Both of them knew that this kind of life together could not last long, but they invariably acquiesced to this status quo.
However, what should come will always come.
Finally one night, Lu Shanshan called Xiao Jing, who was ready to sleep, to the courtyard.
That night, the bright moon hung like a silver platter in the clear night sky, sprinkling its gentle light on the vast land.
When Xiao Jing walked out of the door, Lu Shanshan, dressed in women's clothes, was standing in the middle of the courtyard quietly looking at the moon in the sky.
Under the moonlight, the beauty is like jade.
The clothes she was wearing were very similar to the ones Xiao Jing wore when she first saw her. After many years, Lu Shanshan once again showed the heart-pounding gentleness and delicacy in front of him completely and unreservedly.
Which is more beautiful, the moon in the sky or the woman in front of you?
Xiao Jing didn't know. He only knew that "Princess Yingyue" was really the most suitable title for Lu Shanshan!
"I'm leaving tomorrow." As if afraid that Xiao Jing would misunderstand her because she didn't hear her clearly, Lu Shanshan walked up to him lightly and explained, "It's going back to Beihu." ”
Xiao Jing only felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing in his face, but he didn't have time to appreciate the beauty in front of him, and the words he wanted to say rushed out of his mouth: "Why do you want to go, what can you change when you go back?" ”
Lu Shanshan smiled sadly and said softly: "You must know, don't ask knowingly, right?" ”
