Chapter 13 Wanted
"You're talking about this inn?" Gao Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the plaque hanging above the gate, which read four words - Lethe Inn.
"When I first came here, I did the innkeeper a favor, and he said that he could stay here for free for a few days." Xu Nanxing glanced at the inn a few times, and there was only one shopkeeper in it who was cleaning up the mess after the Lantern Festival.
Gao Qingzhu was very curious about what kind of busyness would make a person who lived by a hotel casually provide free accommodation.
"Where's your boss?" As soon as Xu Nanxing entered the inn, he dragged the shopkeeper and asked.
When the little second saw the guests coming, he hurriedly welcomed the two in.
"It's Xu Gongzi, the shopkeeper has already reserved a guest room for you, then, this girl next to you is-" The shopkeeper glanced at Gao Qingzhu, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile, "Oh, it must be your wife, right?" ”
"Ma'am?" As soon as her eyes turned, Gao Qingzhu stared at Xu Nanxing, revealing a meaningful look, at this time she wanted to see how Xu Nanxing would explain.
"Are there any other rooms?" Unexpectedly, his focus was not on the word "madam", but on the room.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "There is only this one left, it's upstairs, I'll take the two of you up?" ”
"How come there is only one inn left in such a big inn?" Xu Nanxing is very incomprehensible, you must know that he always wants to stay away from Gao Qingzhu, and he is being chased by a woman so stubbornly, and it is the first time he Xu Nanxing has met him.
Seeing that he didn't want to live with him, Gao Qingzhu wanted to disagree with Xu Nanxing, thinking that it was also a very interesting thing to tease him like this every time.
"Then this one." She stretched out her hand and gestured, and deliberately put her hand in front of the shopkeeper, for fear that he would not hear clearly.
Seeing Gao Qingzhu so cheeky, Xu Nanxing hurriedly held her finger that poked high, and whispered in her ear: "This ancient man is feudal, and we have nothing to do with it, how can we live in one room?" will be talked about. ”
"Oh, that's okay, Xiao Er, I'll sleep upstairs." Withdrawing his finger, Gao Qingzhu pointed to the grass shed near the door, where the horses were sleeping, "He just slept in the horse shed, it's also good, and there are animals with him, how cute it is." ”
After speaking, she also deliberately looked at Xu Nanxing's reaction.
React? What can be the reaction?
Xu Nanxing naturally wouldn't agree, and as soon as he heard that he was allowed to sleep in the stable, the anger suddenly came up.
pulled Gao Qingzhu over, pulled her wrist tightly, bared his teeth and said to the shopkeeper: "That's okay, let's sleep upstairs together, my wife is also tired today, but I have to rest well." ”
The shopkeeper was so shocked by the two of them that he was speechless, or rather, he couldn't interject at all.
Taken aback by this sudden move, Gao Qingzhu didn't expect Xu Nanxing to suddenly dominate the boss's body, and he was dragged by a strong arm, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
went upstairs all the way until he entered the guest room, and then Xiao Er left and closed the door, Xu Nanxing let go of Gao Qingzhu.
"Don't you want to sleep with me?" He said.
Almost at the same time, Xu Nanxing pressed Gao Qingzhu to the door at a very fast speed, the two were extremely close, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and his trembling eyelashes were almost about to touch Gao Qingzhu, Xu Nanxing's slightly upturned upper lip was gently pursed, looking a little restrained, and after adapting, he gradually returned to normal, and asked again: "What about this?" Do you still want to sleep in one? ”
"......" Gao Qingzhu was silent, looking at him quietly, his eyes still releasing a keen gaze like a black cat.
The eyes that were originally looking at each other became weak under her direct gaze, Xu Nanxing lowered his head, his black hair swept to Gao Qingzhu's face, and a faint fragrance poured into her nose.
In the past, Gao Qingzhu took the initiative to flirt with others, but today he turned around, and his heart was confused for a while, and even the frequency of his heart beat a lot faster.
Gao Qingzhu doesn't understand, what's wrong with her?
The force at the shoulder disappeared, and it was Xu Nanxing who let go of her.
He turned around, his voice looking helpless, "You're a girl, you should know how to protect yourself, a character like yours is really too easy to lose." ”
"But I'm not afraid." Gao Qingzhu explained.
Xu Nanxing walked to the window, opened the wooden window made of paper, looked out the window quietly, and said: "Of course you are not afraid, it is because you are not afraid that it is dangerous, you have not judged whether you have the ability to be dangerous, for you, this is a dangerous thing in itself." ”
In fact, Gao Qingzhu knew in her heart that her loss of fear was due to her heart-devouring, so she had no ability to judge danger since she was a child, and she was not even afraid of death.
Sometimes she would have a terrible thought, if there was nothing that scared her, then she might as well die and see if she really feared death.
"So, don't follow me all the time, I'm a busy man, how can I have time to care about you little girl!" Xu Nanxing finally said what was in his heart.
I only heard a creaking sound of the bed board behind me, and then Gao Qingzhu's words came over: "That's okay, you don't care about me, I like to sleep where I sleep, I will lie down on this bed unceremoniously, the floor is so empty, it's a pity not to put you on it." ”
"What did you say?" When I turned around, I saw Gao Qingzhu lying comfortably on the bed.
As soon as Xu Nanxing wanted to go over and pull her quilt, she spoke again: "If you come over again, I will take off my clothes." ”
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.
Xu Nanxing didn't know what to say for a while, paced back and forth a few steps, and could only hold back his anger in his heart.
looked around the whole room, and went to the cabinet next to the bed to rummage through it, but there were no extra sheets or quilts available, the weather was still cold, Xu Nanxing would never sleep on the cold floor like this.
In desperation, I could only call the shopkeeper who was still on duty downstairs to ask for a mattress and quilt.
When Xiao Er entered the door, he saw that the two were sleeping separately, so he asked a few words, Xu Nanxing was vague, saying that it was just a quarrel between the little two, so that Xiao Er would not ask about personal matters, and the matter of face was also like this.
In short, I didn't sleep well this night, and Xu Nanxing woke up several times in the middle of the night.
When he woke up the next day, he yawned and his face didn't look good.
"Yo, didn't you sleep well?" Gao Qingzhu sat at the table and took a sip of water, smiling at Xu Nanxing, who had just gotten up from the ground.
Not in the mood to pay attention to her, Xu Nanxing opened the door to go out without saying a word, and wanted to go to the well to get some water to wash up, he couldn't stay in this house, so as not to be angry again.
Seeing his back disappear from sight, Gao Qingzhu also planned to go out to have a look, after all, noisy bazaars are often seen in costume TV series, and all kinds of gadgets are placed on the street stalls, which is very lively.
Lethe Inn is located not far from the gate of the city, I heard Xu Nanxing say, this city is called Xishan City, it is named after the mountain, this city is a small city, but it is a rich place. There were many wealthy people in the city, and many of them had business dealings with the government, so Xishan was also a famous place in this era.
It's a pity that Gao Qingzhu hasn't heard of this place from the history books.
Out of the inn gate, diagonally across the place where the notices were posted, several notices were surrounded by blackened crowds, and noisy voices spread through the street.
"Who's wanted?"
"This man and woman are pretty good-looking, why did they make a mistake?"
"I think I saw this woman next to the restaurant last night."
"I think I've seen her when you say that."
The crowd was discussing, there were two wanted notices in front of them, on which a man and a woman were drawn, Gao Qingzhu squeezed through the few people gathered in front of her, and when she was finally able to see clearly, she was already standing in front of the wanted notice.
The man's eyebrows are clear, characterized by short hair and a slightly upturned upper lip; The woman has long hair and looks pretty good, but the painting emphasizes wearing a different dress.
Gao Qingzhu immediately realized that the two people on this painting were her and Xu Nanxing.
It's too weird to be wanted not long after coming to this era, who is the person who has so much hatred with Gao Qingzhu that he posted a notice to arrest them.
The portrait is right in front of you, and Gao Qingzhu, who is wearing modern clothes, is surrounded by the crowd, just walking on the street can become a beautiful landscape, not to mention that there are still notices pasted in front of you, and it is difficult not to be discovered.
She's throwing herself into the net.
"Huh? Isn't she the woman in the portrait? A middle-aged woman said in a loud voice, a voice that could be described as a human megaphone.
The crowd was like a lit fuse just after this speech, and the sound of discussion was like explosive gunpowder, and the sound pierced Gao Qingzhu's ears.
A soldier at the notice board was alarmed by the sudden explosion and signaled the crowd to disperse so as not to disturb the order in the city.
He walked towards Gao Qingzhu, barely looking closely, and then beckoned a few soldiers to detain her.
Her heart was full of inexplicability, and just as she was about to be taken away by two strong soldiers, a face that made her extremely disgusted suddenly recalled in her mind.
That is, the drunk man who beat her last night.
Gao Qingzhu remembered very well, he said that he was the son of the richest man in the city, and most of the merchants in this mountain city were friendly with the government, and his father must be no exception.
It seems that this is a personal vendetta in the communiqué.
After figuring out why she was arrested, she was not in a hurry to cry out for herself, she just wanted to see what means that man would use against herself in the future, and what charges would be imposed on her.
However, she was even more glad that Xu Nanxing was not caught, he saved her yesterday, and the matter was caused by Gao Qingzhu, so naturally Xu Nanxing could not be allowed to wade into this troubled water.
But the truth is often not as rosy as imagined.
"Let her go." A familiar voice came.
Gao Qingzhu secretly said to himself an idiot, one second he thought that he should not be caught, and the next second this guy actually jumped out by himself.
Xu Nanxing's temperament, Gao Qingzhu really has nothing to say.
"Who dares to disturb -" The soldier at the head saw that someone was stopping, and was about to draw his sword to face him, but when he saw Xu Nanxing's face, he immediately reacted, "Arrest him for me!" ”
"I don't need you to catch it, I have my own feet, and I will follow you." I thought he would resist, but he didn't admit it and obediently obeyed.
