Chapter 490: Finally Home
For the safety of the young lady, Lu Dacheng said that he was unwilling to give up the vigil and go to rest. Vertices
Qiu Ling glanced at him, and finally said slowly: "Then you keep watch for the first half of the night, and I will keep watch for the second half of the night."
In fact, it doesn't matter if she keeps a vigil or not, she is a person who practices martial arts, and she is also a secret guard under the Lord, even during the rest period, if there is a slightest disturbance, she will wake up and be vigilant around.
Gu Anning also knew this, so there was no need for Lu Dacheng to stay up late at night to keep vigil.
The two discussed, and then Gu Anning beckoned Qiu Ling to rest, leaving Lu Dacheng who was guarding the fire.
The night was very long, and in the second half of the night, Qiu Ling opened her eyes, and then the futon on her body covered the young lady's body.
I tiptoed down the makeshift grass bed to the edge of the fire.
Lu Dacheng, who had been keeping vigil, felt very sleepy, but he just didn't dare to close his eyes and be vigilant around him.
"It's your place, go and rest." Qiu Ling, who came to sit down next to him, said to him.
Lu Dacheng, who was very sleepy, nodded, but he didn't forget to advise: "Steward, be careful."
Qiu Ling nodded, and finally looked at the blazing fire.
Leaving the fire, Lu Dacheng came to the grass bed that he had already laid down, and then he couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.
His bed was far away from Gu Anning's bed, in the corner of the wall opposite them.
The burning candles in the ruined temple gradually burned out, only some candle tears on the candlesticks remained, and the sky gradually brightened when the rain stopped.
As it was almost dawn, everyone woke up.
After washing, after a simple breakfast, Lu Dacheng took the horse to the grass to eat some fresh grass with water droplets to replenish the physical strength that would be consumed in a while.
He didn't know when he would be able to reach the next stop, or when he would be able to replenish his food.
After letting the horses eat for a while, Lu Dacheng cleaned up the cooking utensils that had been cleaned in the broken temple.
I got into the carriage and set off again, because it had rained heavily all afternoon and in the middle of the night yesterday, and the road was very muddy, mud and puddles everywhere, and the carriage was quite difficult to walk, which also greatly reduced the speed.
Moreover, due to the mud and many puddles, the carriage was wobbly and very powerful.
By noon, Gu Anning's carriage had entered a small city.
asked Qiu Ling to find a restaurant, and finally a few people ordered a few dishes and picked up chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
Because she was in a hurry to go back, she also estimated the time, if she hurried non-stop after eating now, she would be able to return to Sungai Village by tomorrow morning.
After quickly finishing lunch, Gu Anning and his party got into the carriage again and left the small city.
In the evening, several people ate some dry food and hurried again.
Knowing that they were about to return to Sungai Village, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Sure enough, there was not much difference between time and what she guessed, and in the early morning, the air was full of fog, and Gu Anning's carriage appeared on the village road in Shuangxi Village.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking at the familiar scenes around her with the faint light, Gu Anning's heart couldn't help but feel relieved, and it felt good to go home.
Gu Anning, who wanted to return to the door earlier, asked Lu Dacheng to speed up again. Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Gu Mansion.
Stepping on a small stool and getting out of the carriage, looking at the scarlet closed door, Gu Anning held back the excitement in her heart and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Because it is only slightly bright now, that is, it is almost six o'clock in modern times, and the people in the house are washing.
She knocked on the door for about ten seconds before the door opened.
When he saw that the person standing outside the door was actually a young lady, Chen Fengshou had a smile of surprise on his face.
"Miss, you're finally back, and we're going to miss you." His eyes were slightly red in surprise, as if tears would flow from him in the next moment.
This is exactly the case, Chen Fengshou, who finished speaking, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes and wiped away the tears that were shining inside.
Gu Anning smiled at him and said, "I've missed you all these days."
After hearing this, Chen Fengshou felt warm in his heart.
Leaving the door of the mansion and entering the main hall, Qiu Yue, who learned that she was back, had a big smile on her originally serious face, and while walking to see the young lady, she instructed her subordinates to quickly order the kitchen to make a rich breakfast and prepare things for washing.
When she came to the main hall, she saw the young lady who had just sat down to rest.
Qiu Yue, whose face was full of joy, strode in, looked at her and said excitedly, "Miss."
Gu Anning smiled at her and nodded, "I'm back." ”
Qiu Yue nodded fiercely.
"Qiu Yue, I've been working hard for you since I was away from the house." Gu Anning reached out and held Qiu Yue's calloused hands, full of seriousness and gratitude.
Qiu Yue shook her head, "It's not hard, it's not hard at all." ”
After the two got together, Gu Anning couldn't wait to go back to her room with the medicine box to see the little things she hadn't seen for more than ten days.
Back in the room after a long absence, Gu Anning's whole person was full of relaxation.
Putting the medicine box in her hand on the table, she whispered to the side of Xiao Baozi's small bed.
Gently lifted the small gauze tent, looked at the pink little bun sleeping and smacking his lips sweetly, Gu Anning, who couldn't bear to wake him up, looked at him quietly for a while, and was very satisfied.
A kiss fell on his forehead, put down the gauze tent, and Gu Anning asked the people waiting outside the door to bring in the toiletries.
When the next person was about to leave, Gu Anning asked him to prepare a bath soup for himself.
She hadn't showered for two nights these days, and she was very uncomfortable.
The movement of the people is very good, and Akizuki leads the people to fill the bath bucket with hot water.
After washing up, they also told you to get the bath ready.
Let them all retreat, Gu Anning found a set of dresses from the wardrobe and came to hang them on the shelves behind the screen.
After probing the temperature of the water, Gu Anning took out a small porcelain bottle in the middle space, and then poured out some essential oils of flowers that could relieve fatigue.
The pink flower oil quickly disappeared when poured into the water, and a whole bucket of hot water emitted a delicate fragrance.
……………………
Immersing the whole person in the water, Gu Anning felt that the pores all over her body were dilated, which was very comfortable.
The fatigue of the past few days has also been relieved.
I don't know how long it was, Gu Anning, who was wearing a clean dress, wiped the wet hair on her head with a towel and walked out from behind the screen.
Because the sound she made was not loud, Xiao Baozi still hadn't woken up and slept sweetly.
Without waking up the little thing, Gu Anning's whole person flashed into the space.
