Chapter 25 Qinzi Village
When night fell, I could only hear the sound of birds sleeping on the branches and the chirping of insects in the grass.
Xiao Jingyi found a clean haystack, he carefully hugged Qingning, who had fallen asleep, and gently put her on the ground, she had cried all day today, her eyes were swollen. Xu was used to being indulged by him in the mountains, and kept crying and shouting to go back.
He took a blanket from his bag, gently spread it on the floor, and then picked her up and placed her on the blanket.
This movement woke Qing Ning up.
"Sleep." He kissed her cheek softly, his lips rubbing against her soft earlobe.
Qing Ning was tired of crying today, so she turned over with a blanket on her pillow and fell asleep.
Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but be fascinated when he looked at her, he looked at her foot injury with some distress, only to see that the ankle was badly bruised, he took out the gold paste and gently applied it to her foot, after taking care of everything, he got up and picked up some dry wood to light the bonfire, and then lay down beside her. Today, he is also tired, and he can't help but feel tired when he thinks about the days ahead.
——
Early the next morning.
Qingning was woken up by Yu Qing, and was woken up by him before he had enough sleep, got on the horse in a daze, and set off again.
Facing the first rays of sunshine in the morning, Qingning's mood was better, and he still had the heart to look at the scenery of the mountains and rivers, look at the white cranes taking off in the forest, and count the birds in the sky.
The horses walked for most of the day, and Xiao Jingyi let the horses rest every hour they walked.
"There's a village ahead!" Qing Ning pointed to the curling smoke and said in surprise.
I saw that the village is located in the surrounding mountains, there are about a dozen families, compared to Qingshui Village, here is more barren, full of barren mountains and mountains, there are no other villages within a radius of several miles.
Xiao Jingyi led the horse and walked on the road, and Qing Ning was shocked when he sat on the horse.
After running around for a few days, I can finally find a place to sleep well, Qing Ning thought to herself.
Because outsiders entered the village, the villagers entered the house one after another, and the gate was locked, thinking that it was invaded by rogues.
Recently, there have been countless fugitives, and some people have taken advantage of the chaos to commit murder, kill people and set fires, and rob other people's property, all of which are not a problem, so people are panicked, and these things have also spread to Qinzi Village.
"Knock knock!" Xiao Jingyi knocked on the door of a house.
"But anyone?" Qing Ning asked.
They knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, because Qing Ning was about to leave in frustration, she pouted and stared at Xiao Jingyi on the side, looking unhappy.
"Explain the reason, and ask if there is anyone who is willing to take them in, and you can barter." Xiao Jingyi gave her an idea, and he didn't dare to speak as a man, for fear of scaring others.
"Okay, the concubine and Lang Jun fled all the way through here, it was really a few days of traveling, physically and mentally exhausted, if there are well-wishers to take them in, they are willing to exchange copper coins." Qing Ning pleaded outside the door.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a woman came out with a child of six or seven years old.
"I don't know where the guests are coming from?" The woman asked.
The woman's name was Huang Xiangyu, and because of the tight war, her husband was arrested and taken to be a strong man, and she and her young children were the only ones in the family.
"Chu Zhen." Xiao Jingyi replied, and then said, "It's in the town within a radius of dozens of miles, and the taxes are heavy, so I have to leave. ”
Qing Ning listened, although he was puzzled, he still nodded his head.
——
In the afternoon, the children were playing under the melon vines, and Huang Xiangyu cleaned up the house for them and went outside to pick some wild vegetables.
Qing Ning looked at the wing room, this place is actually better than Qingshui Village, the house is quite large, the east and west wings are vacant, she and Yu Qing chose the east wing room to rest, the two cleaned it again, and finally found a place to stay.
Xiao Jingyi was sleeping in the room, and Qing Ning saw that he was tired, so he went out to the well to fetch a bucket of water and wash his face.
"Where did this beautiful lady come from?" Suddenly, an old man stood outside the door, shirtless and footed, and his eyes were extremely obscene.
Qing Ning ignored him, turned around and entered the house with water.
The old man wanted to push open the door of the courtyard and break in, but was splashed by Qingning with a bucket of water.
"Woman!" The old man was drenched and couldn't help scolding.
——
Xiao Jingyi lay on the couch and fell asleep, these days have been guarding her day and night, every night in the barren mountains and mountains looking for a place to rest, for fear that there are flying insects and beasts around, so he did not sleep at night, today is rare to have a place to rest, as soon as he gets on the bed, he falls asleep deeply.
Qing Ning took out a cloth and soaked it in clean water, wrung it out, wiped his face for him, and then wiped his body so that he could sleep more comfortably.
It didn't take long for Qing Ning to walk out after hearing the movement outside, only to see Huang Xiangyu chasing the old man outside the door with a broom, scolding in his mouth.
"Who is this?" Qing Ning asked her.
"It's just the crazy old man next door." Huang Xiangyu said.
"Seeing that he is cowardly, it is better to be careful." Qing Ning couldn't help but remind.
"I know it, the girl has a husband by her side, don't worry too much, just close the doors and windows at night." Huang Xiangyu said.
——
On the top of the moon, Xiao Jingyi rested for a long time, and when it came to toss her at night, Qing Ning pushed him with a sleepy face.
She wiped the ink on his cheek, the candlelight in the room was dim, and the slave words on his face could be clearly seen, and Qing Ning said lightly, "How about carving one for the concubine's body?" She said as she stared at him softly.
Xiao Jingyi gently patted her buttocks, hugged her and turned over, the two were playing on the couch, and Qing Ning's laughter spread from the room.
Suddenly, a figure passed by outside the window, and both of them were stunned.
"Xu is an old man in the daytime." Qing Ning explained.
"Be careful." He said.
"No." After Qingning said that, Xiao Jingyi leaned over and kissed it, and the two were entangled together.
The candlelight was dim, reflecting the figures of the two people on the couch, and the roosters crowed a few times outside, and there was a slight gasp in the silent night.
——
Early in the morning, Qing Ning was still asleep, Xiao Jingyi heard a knock outside the door, and when he was about to get up and go out to open the door, he subconsciously pulled the futon to Qing Ning's body, only to see that this person turned his mind, muttered a few words and fell asleep again, he couldn't help laughing.
"The slave family made a morning meal, are you hungry?" Huang Xiangyu couldn't help but bow his head in shame when he saw Xiao Jingyi, thinking that he was a beautiful man, tall and strong, with meticulous facial features, and he was a rare handsome man in the world.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at Qing Ning on the couch, thanked Huang Xiangyu for her kindness, and thought that she would have to sleep well for a while.
Soon, an eldest lady came to the Huang family, who was a matchmaker in the village, saying that she was looking for a good family for Huang Xiangyu.
"Your eldest man's life and death are uncertain, why don't you marry someone else, don't miss your own future." The eldest lady's surname is Zuo, and she is cunning and unright-minded.
"The slave family is good! The day before yesterday, I received a letter from my family, saying that I was promoted by the general, and when the war passed, I would return to my hometown with honor! Huang Xiangyu refuted.
Qing Ning was woken up by the noise outside, and when she got up, Yu Qing on the side was looking at a book, which was really boring! She might as well go out and see what happened.
"What's wrong?" Qing Ning looked at Huang Xiangyu blankly.
That lady saw a beautiful Peugeot! I was so stunned that I couldn't find the north for a while, so I quickly ran away, not knowing who I was looking for.
