Chapter 40: A Good Night's Sleep
The carriage jolted forward, and I spread my hands and feet, and leaned comfortably against the carriage, and I couldn't help but be sleepy-eyed.
Canghai, who has been sitting upright and quietly resting, should also be very tired, but he turned his head to look at me: "You sleep first, I'm not tired yet, I'll call you when it's time." ”
"Then, you are tired and wake me up, we must leave a sober person......" I quickly fell asleep, and in a daze, I heard the gentle and soft voice of Canghai, slowly echoing in my ears, okay~~
When I woke up, I stretched my waist contentedly, and when I turned my head to see Canghai's unchanged upright sitting posture, I couldn't help but be stunned, this guy, why didn't you wake me up and change him to sleep?!
"You wake up, it's not dawn yet, if you still feel tired, you can sleep a little longer. The sound of the sea is as clear as a murmuring stream, there is no trace of sleepiness, he has always remained awake!
"I'm sorry! I've slept for too long, change you, change you!" I was very moved, I hurriedly put away my hands and feet, and moved out of my position, "Canghai, I'm guarding, you can sleep in peace!"
"Okay!" in the deep voice of Canghai, there was a faint shyness that troubled others. I raised my eyebrows, this person is a real man, responsible!
I lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and there was nothing to see except the faint light of the rickety lantern of the coachman. It dawned on me that it was the middle of the night! On the ground without street lights, it would be as quiet and dark as the bottom of the sea.
I lowered the curtains, leaned against the carriage, and silently began to plan. When we arrive at the imperial capital later, how can we sneak into the courtyard of the Xiao family? The Dog Emperor must have sent someone to guard over there! You have to be careful, don't fail to save people, and even throw yourself into the net!
Just as I was thinking about it seriously, my shoulders sank suddenly. I turned my head and saw the black bun and white headband. It turned out that Canghai was asleep, and leaned over with his head drooping.
After a whole day's travel, Canghai's body was still spotless. This man is really special! I looked at the purity and flawlessness of his body, only the mud marks left by the sleeves of his shirt when he wiped my face, and my heart warmed.
"Mother...... I'm lonely, mother...... Mother......"
I listened attentively, and my heart trembled suddenly, and I suddenly realized that he, with his slender posture, rich experience, and maturity and stability, was as weak as a helpless baby at the moment.
He is thinking about his mother, and his father is also thinking about his mother, and he can make the most important people miss him, his mother, she must be perfect! Her story must be very poignant and moving.
I tried to keep my body still, letting Canghai lean against him, quietly listening to his steady breathing. Watching his veil rise and fall slightly with his breathing, and involuntarily reaching over, I thought, look at what he looks like!
As soon as my fingertips touched the corners of the veil, I was grasped by the warm palm, and the dark voice of Canghai sounded in my ears unusually beautifully: "After seeing my appearance, you are going to be my person, are you ready?"
"I'm going to be your brother, am I going to be your person?" I felt embarrassed to be caught peeping, and I cheekily shouted, "Let's bow goodbye?"
"Good. Canghai's gentle voice carried a lazy and charming rhythm, "Let me sleep well before bowing to me, okay?"
"Okay!" I nodded repeatedly, "I promise not to peek at your face before bowing, you can sleep!"
"Okay...... "Canghai leaned on my shoulder, his head did not move, and the hand holding me did not let go, and he fell into a deep sleep again.
After staggering for a long time, I thought about how to sneak out after sneaking into the Xiao family's courtyard, and I had to bring my grandmother and mother...... Before I knew it, I tilted my head, pressed it against the bun of the sea, and fell asleep.
The moment I squinted my eyes and leaned against the bun of Canghai, the eyes that Canghai closed opened suddenly, and a cold and gloomy gaze shot out like an arrow, and the moment I saw my soft hair fall on his veil, my eyes suddenly softened and warmed, and slowly closed my eyes again. The man's slender fingers gently caressed the soft and boneless girl's little hand in the palm of his hand, and Canghai sighed with satisfaction.
"Before dawn, rush to the imperial capital. The voice of Canghai was as light as breath, as if it was afraid of disturbing the sleeping elves, soft and warm as spring water.
"Yes!," replied the coachman in a low voice, and the speed of the car immediately increased.
There was already a faint whiteness of fish belly in the sky, and the carriage finally stopped.
"Huan'er, we have arrived in the imperial capital. In a daze, I heard Canghai whispering in my ear, "Thank you for your protection, let me have a good dream." ”
"You're welcome, my own brother!" I yawned, stretched my shoulders lazily, moved my fingers, my shoulders were leaned against for hours, my hands were shaken for hours, my fingers were **, and my shoulders were sore. Canghai sat quietly, looking at me leisurely and with interest.
I finally stretched out my arms and kicked my legs, lifted the curtain, and prepared to jump down, "The imperial capital has arrived, I have something urgent, so I will leave first! Brother Canghai, there will be a period later!"
My arm was grabbed by a hand, and Canghai stuffed a jade pendant into my hand, "You're just leaving?!"
I glanced at the white jade pendant in my palm, the jade color was like a drop of water, transparent and moist without a trace of variegation. The carving is extremely fine, carved into a dragon and not a dragon. This jade pendant is priceless!
"Well, I don't ask you where you're from, and you don't ask me where I'm going, if there's a fate, we'll meet again!" I handed him back, "This jade is very valuable, you keep it for yourself." ”
"Take this jade pendant, in any pawnshop in the imperial capital, someone will take you to me. Canghai stuffed the jade back into my hand, "Huan'er, if you are in need, I will do my best." ”
"Thank you!" This man always moved me inadvertently, "Canghai, I'm very happy to know you!
I jumped out of the carriage and walked forward with the bustling crowd. I didn't notice that the coachman who was driving the carriage lifted his hat and coat, revealing a very ordinary coarse cloth robe, and quietly followed me. I didn't pay attention to it, Canghai held the pearl bracelet I had forgotten in my seat in his palm, and looked at my back as I left with a blur of thoughts.
I walked slowly through the lively street in front of Xiao Guogong's mansion, and sure enough, I saw many Jianshuo men dressed as small vendors, staring at the gate of Xiao Guogong's mansion with blazing eyes.
I continued to walk slowly around the back door of Xiao Guogong's mansion, and I also found several beggars squatting there with sharp eyes and calm spirits.
I had to keep my feet and keep going, and the front and back doors were stared at to death, and it was difficult to get in.
