only came out, and did not follow them into the stove, but stood under the eaves in a daze.

Brother He's stove room is set up in the courtyard, which can only be regarded as a shed, with a fence on the back side, one side facing the wall of the wing room, and the other side facing the courtyard wall.

While Ye Xinyi was busy working on the desk, he raised his head and glanced at the figure standing under the eaves.

I don't know what the two of them said, since Fang Cai saw him again, Ah Xiang has not spoken from beginning to end, and the corners of her eyes are slightly red and swollen, showing that Fang Cai must have cried.

Ye Xinyi guessed that she must be reluctant to go, so she clashed with Assi. After all, if what happened to Ah Xi going to Chengdu Mansion is really as Shen Yue guessed, Ah Xiang has affection for Ah Xi, and if he knows, he naturally doesn't want to. Unexpectedly, when Ah Xi and Brother He finished talking, and Sister-in-law He prepared some cakes and jerky for them to send them out, Ah Xiang also silently carried the burden, lowered her eyes slightly, and followed behind them.

Shen Yue and Ah Xi had already discussed it yesterday, and when they left the small village, they went straight to the county town where Ah Xi went with Brother He a few days ago to make plans.

The road, Assi had only walked a few days ago, but it was familiar, so he walked in front and led the way.

Ah Xiang followed not far away, and the distance between the two was almost two steps.

Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue lagged behind, holding hands, and walked slowly on the mountain road.

It's the same as when it came.

It's just that it's very different. First of all, on the way to the small village that day, Assi had been babbling endlessly, but today it was unusually silent. At that time, Ah Xiang said that she was following Ah Xi, but it was only half a body length away, and Ah Xi could touch her when she turned her head and raised her arm, but today it was a little far away. Today, I saw a man-high ridge in front of me, facing the cliff, and the road was slippery, so Axi stopped and waited. When Ah Xiang approached, he stretched out his hand towards her, and who knows, Ah Xiang passed him straight past him as if he had never seen it, and went down the high hurdle in three or two steps.

Assi froze in place for a moment, then he succumbed to his outstretched hand, lowered his eyes, and then jumped off the high hurdle and continued to take a step.

Shen Yue turned his head and glanced at Ye Xinyi, no matter how stupid a person was, he could see that there was a problem between the two of them. However, they are also mostly speculating about what is going on between them, and they can't manage it, and they don't want to care about it.

In such an inexplicable atmosphere, Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi were enjoying themselves, for a while you pointed not far away and said, look, the bush of wildflowers over there is blooming very well, and after a while, I asked again if I was tired, raised the handkerchief to help wipe my forehead, and the hand he was holding was held tightly, and his steps were not slow, more often, they were just walking quietly, but between words and actions, there was an indescribable tacit understanding.

After walking for more than an hour, seeing that the sun was about to be in the middle of the day, Assi said that he would rest for a while, and that he would be there for about half an hour.

That place was also the place where the mountain people often rested when they entered the city, and a few fairly smooth stones were placed under the dense shade of the trees, and several people each picked up a piece and sat down, opened their burdens, and each grabbed a piece of bread and a piece of jerky, and ate it.

Only Ah Xi and Ah Xiang still didn't squeak at all, each hanging their heads and eating their own, and the atmosphere was very stiff.

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi were not affected at all, while whispering, while eating the cake, Ye Xinyi thought that the jerky was a little hard, and gave it to Shen Yue in one go, Shen Yue didn't say a word, so he took the jerky she took a bite of and ate it without disgust.

Ye Xinyi looked up and saw that there were some grease stains on his lips, and while complaining, "Such a big person, eating something is not worry-free", while lifting the handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Shen Yue cooperated and leaned her face over a little more, and let her wipe it. After eating the cake, the two drank water from the same kettle, and then turned their heads together to look at the two birds flying in the mountain stream and whispered, Shen Yue didn't know what to say, Ye Xinyi chuckled lowly, but his face was slightly red, and he clenched his fist and beat his shoulder.

The kind of quiet and tacit understanding between these two people who can overflow without talking is really enviable.

Ah Xiang squinted slightly, a little stunned, and after a while, she silently lowered her eyes again, covering the emotions under her eyes.

After resting enough, several people were on the road again. Assi was right, but after walking for a quarter of an hour or two, there were more people around, and they had reached the foot of the mountain and went on the official road. After walking for a while, I saw the gate of the small county town.

The gates of the city were guarded by officers and soldiers, and everyone who entered the city had to be checked.

They were all ordinary people dressed in cloth, and they were really inconspicuous, and they gave their names and where they came from, and the soldiers who were guarding the gate looked at them and let them go.

Ye Xinyi saw that they were holding portraits in their hands, and when they looked at it, they looked a little like Shen Yue and her, but naturally they were not very similar to what they looked like now.

The county seat was not big, and Assi led them through a street, entered a very ordinary, not lively and not deserted inn, asked for three adjacent guest rooms, and settled down temporarily.

"I'm a little tired after walking for half a day, so you can rest first! I'll go out into the street and get a carriage in a moment, and we'll discuss how to go. Assi said in a calm voice.

In the past half a day, Assi has lost all the noise of the previous few days, which makes Ye Xinyi a little unaccustomed. "I'm afraid we still have to buy some clothes, the carriage or something will be handed over to you, we women are still doing this kind of thing, take a break, why don't Ah Xiang go to the ready-to-wear shop on the street with me?"

Ah Xiang didn't speak, lowered her eyes for a moment before nodding.

Assi glanced at her, didn't speak, silently picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Assi drank his tea, then got up and went out. Ah Xiang also went back to the next room, Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue rested for a while, then went out of the door, knocked on Ah Xiang's door, and the three of them went out of the inn together, heading in the direction of the ready-to-wear shop that the inn guy had just inquired about.

This county town is not big, and there are only two ready-to-wear shops in the total, and the clothes they sell are not the same. One is a high-quality silk and satin, with new patterns, and it is naturally a rich man's business, while the other is inferior in terms of material and workmanship, but they need to prepare some for both.

Men naturally don't like such things as shopping. Shen Yue is no exception, when Ye Xinyi asked him for his opinion, he replied with a slight smile, "You just decide", Ye Xinyi knew that it would be the same answer, but he would still be happy to ask him, and he would answer them one by one, without a trace of impatience.

Shen Yue's size, Ye Xinyi is naturally clear. Ah Xi's size, Ah Xiang actually knew it, so the line was set up very quickly, and when they returned to the inn, Ah Xi also returned.
