In the middle of Merlin, Xiaoguo stopped.

She let go of Li Yi's hand, looked around and nodded, as if she was satisfied, and then took the burden off her back.

Li Yi gently twisted his fingertips, and stood stunned.

Xiaoguo didn't notice his abnormality, she was excited about the upcoming food, she gestured to Li Yi and said.

"Xiaoyu, you go and sit in the pavilion for a while!"

What the? Xiaoyu? Li Yi stopped reflecting and looked at her suspiciously, feeling that his brain was not enough.

Xiaoguo understood his eyes and said happily: "So you can hear me?" ”

Li Yi saw her happily circling around him, and stood in front of him again: "My name is Ma Xiaoguo, you can call me Xiaoguo!" What is your name? ”

Ma Xiaoguo? Did you turn your real name Guo Xiaoma upside down? Li Yi thought silently.

"Do you write your own name? Forget it, I don't know you when you wrote it! Xiaoguo scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile, "To be honest, as soon as I saw you, I immediately remembered a poem I once read, the poem said: Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world!" This poem is clearly written for you! Haha, I'll call you Xiaoyu in the future, okay? ”

Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world? Li Yi said it silently in his heart, and the tips of his ears were a little red.

"You didn't shake your head, did you agree?"

Xiaoyu? That's a man's name! However, Xiaoyu, Xiaoguo...

Li Yi felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and even had some snickering.

Xiaoguo didn't notice anything wrong, she put the burden on the ground, stretched out a hand to him, and said happily: "Xiaoyu, it's nice to meet you, we will be friends in the future!" ”

She consciously took his hand and shook it a few times.

Li Yi shook off her hand as if he had been electrocuted this time.

Xiaoguo then realized that this is not the world before, and men and women can't be too casual with each other, even if the other party is a eunuch!

Thinking of this, she said apologetically and cautiously: "Xiaoyu, did my actions scare you just now?" Shaking hands with a new friend is a friendly gesture in my hometown, but it doesn't seem appropriate here, so I'll pay attention to it later! ”

Her hometown? Border? Men and women over there, and such a bold and open custom of acquaintance?

Li Yi saw the look of chagrin on her face, and regretted it in his heart, he wanted to tell her that he didn't mind at all, but he didn't say it.

Seeing that his face had softened, Xiaoguo knew that he had forgiven himself, and put her mind at ease, she pointed to the stone pavilion behind her: "Xiaoyu, you go to the pavilion and sit and rest for a while, I'll bake sweet potatoes right away!" ”

Sweet potato? Li Yi knew that the Hongyan nobles were very particular about food, and some foods were regarded as symbols of low status, such as sweet potatoes.

Back then, when Li Yi led his troops to the battle, sometimes he even ate wild vegetables due to the shortage of military rations, so he naturally didn't care about these fictitious rules.

He was surprised that the queen mother, who likes to be a canary in brocade clothes and jade food, would secretly come out to eat this kind of food that lowers her value!

Seeing that he didn't move, Xiaoguo smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, do you want to help too?" Okay, please go around and pick up some dry wood and dead leaves. ”

So, King Ding, who was respected by thousands of people with a noble status, did not obey the call with his feet, and obediently picked up firewood like a little daughter-in-law.

Xiaoguo was not idle, she took out a flower shovel from her baggage and dug a soil pit on the ground.

When Li Yi came back with firewood, he happened to see that Xiaoguo had put a few things wrapped in oiled paper into the pit.

Xiaoguo smiled at him: "It's just right to come back!" ”

She sprinkled a layer of earth on top of them, piled firewood on them, and lit them with dead leaves.

Taking advantage of this free time, Xiaoguo decided to learn more about this new friend.

"Xiaoyu, where are you on an errand?"

Li Yi glanced in the direction of the Jinluan Palace.

Xiao Guo followed his gaze, it was the direction in which they met, she didn't know what palaces were nearby, but she didn't know how to pretend to understand and nodded: "I see, Xiao Yu is on an errand over there?" Happens to be on duty tonight? What a coincidence! ”

Li Yi looked at her expressionlessly.

Xiaoguo's interest was undiminished, she got closer a little bit smugly, and asked, "That, is your family very poor?" You were sold to the palace as an errand boy since you were a child? Or do you sell yourself to save your family? You're so good-looking, but have you ever been bullied? Oh, it's a pity that such a good gene has no ability to continue the offspring, have you ever regretted entering the palace? ”

Li Yi's face became more and more ugly, no wonder she was so casual with herself, she didn't treat him as a man at all!

He looked down at the clothes on his body, and sure enough, the colors and styles were somewhat similar to the clothes of the eunuchs in the palace, and those differences were covered by the hazy moonlight.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Xiaoguo realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurt his self-esteem, so he hurriedly apologized and explained: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I didn't mean to hurt you, and I thought you didn't mind these things! It's all blamed for my brainless speech, it seems that people are really easy to be stained by the environment, just say me, after a long time, I really think of myself as superior in my heart, I apologize to you, I swear that I never mean to belittle you! Alas, to tell you the truth, I have asked other people this kind of question before, and they must have been afraid of me, and they did not dare not answer, and the scars were revealed, and they were secretly sad to death! ”

Li Yi saw her blaming herself so much, and the little unease in his heart disappeared without a trace, and when he heard the last thought, he couldn't help but look at her inquiringly.

Xiaoguo knew that she was in a hurry and said that she had missed her mouth, her eyes rolled, and she measured her little fingertips: "That one I was a little official, a little official, and I have two or three little eunuchs under my command, hehe, the official rank is not big." That Xiaoyu, looking at your temperament, you shouldn't be an unknown person, right? ”

Li Yi looked at her quietly.

Xiaoguo chuckled: "I didn't shake my head, sure enough!" We will help and support each other in the future, and strive to break out in the palace! Oops, sweet potatoes are baked! ”

Xiaoguo carefully moved the fire aside, used a shovel to clear the dust from the ground, and pulled out the oiled paper in the pit, and a smell of burnt spread in the air.

When they were a little cooler, she peeled off the oily paper outside, revealing the steaming sweet potatoes inside, she changed her left hand to her right hand and kept breathing, peeled off the skin, and handed the golden sweet potatoes flowing with sugar juice to Li Yi.

"Here, taste!"

She peeled another one for herself and took a bite of it: "It's so hot!" It's so sweet! ”

Li Yi looked at the gray thing in his hand suspiciously, it looked ugly and smelled good.

"Eat it!" Xiaoguo had food in his mouth and urged vaguely.

Li Yi took a bite gently, and a strange sweetness spread from the tip of his tongue to his internal organs, which made him appetite suddenly open, and he couldn't help but bite again.

Xiaoguo looked at him proudly, and muttered a vague sentence in his mouth, as if to say, "I didn't lie to you."

After the two finished eating the sweet potatoes, Xiaoguo took out a kettle from the baggage, and she glanced at Li Yi apologetically: "I'm sorry, I brought a pot of water, let's share it!" ”

Seeing Li Yi looking at her meaningfully, she hurriedly opened the burden and said, "I really only brought a pot!" I'm not trying to take advantage of you! Otherwise, drink first! ”

Li Yi unceremoniously took the kettle and took a few sips.

Xiaoguo licked his face and smiled at him, took the kettle and drank it directly.

Li Yi saw that where his lips had touched, he was being held by her delicate lips like flowers at this time, and the crystal droplets of water shone softly in the moonlight, flowing down her small chin, and she couldn't help but tighten her throat, and involuntarily swallowed a few saliva.
