Chapter 110: On the Road Again

Chu Town they did pass before, although the town is not big, but because there is only such a town within a radius of dozens of miles, the surrounding villagers can only go to Chu Town to catch the market, so Chu Town is quite prosperous.

Even Song Xiaochi Xie Yan and them, when they passed through Chu Town, they also bought a lot of local specialties, there is a fruit called Red Fruit, which is a special product called Red Leaf Mountain in the east of Chu Town, this fruit only matures in winter, the size of a baby's fist, crystal clear, and the whole flesh shows a faint red, like a small red lantern.

This red fruit is sweet and juicy, and when you eat it in winter, it is not cold, and when the juice flows into the stomach, it is like drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup, and there is a warmth in your body, and even your hands and feet are frozen in an instant.

Song Xiaochi had also eaten red fruits in Bofu before, but because the yield of red fruits was not high and the price was not cheap, Song Xiaochi had only eaten it twice a few years ago when the situation in Bofu was not too bad, and she felt very novel at that time, but she didn't expect that in this winter, there would be this kind of fruit that warms people's bodies.

Later, when she passed through Chu Town, she saw red fruits in a store specializing in preserved fruit snacks, so she bought some and put them in the Xuan Bag, she had tried before, and the things that were put in the Xuan Bag, whether it was food or anything else, would remain the same.

Xie Yan nodded, "I did pass by." ”

"Is that boy willing to go to my house for the night?" Miss Jin asked expectantly.

"There are so many of us, can you live in your house?" Xie Yan seemed to be really considering Miss Jin's proposal.

Miss Jin was slightly stunned, "They go too?" ”

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, "Naturally, you're going?" Does the girl think that I am the kind of person who does not care about my daughter-in-law for her own comfort? ”

"It's not...... I mean, this inn can be lent to them. ”

Being panicked by Xie Yan's eyes, Miss Jin hurriedly shook her head.

Xie Yan said with a smile: "Let my daughter-in-law live in the inn with two maids, how can I rest assured, and how can I live in the girl's house safely, if the girl is willing to lend the inn to live in Xia, and is willing to pay more for the room, it will definitely not let you suffer."

When Miss Jin heard this, her face changed, "If you don't want to go to my house to spend the night, then that's it, I just hope you don't regret it in the future!" ”

After Miss Jin finished speaking, she looked straight at Xie Yan, as if she was waiting to see if Xie Yan would change her words.

"It seems that the girl is joking, so I won't say anything more, and I will leave!"

Xie Yan said, flicking the reins, and the mule cart "clicked" on the road again.

"Gongzi Xie, I thought you were a smart person, so I said that I was the one who kept the guest, but now it seems that I saw the wrong person."

Seeing that Xie Yan rejected his proposal so neatly and left without looking back, Miss Jin couldn't help but raise her voice in anger and said loudly.

She didn't get any response from Xie Yan for this last stay, but called out her own father Jin Shopkeeper, who was packing up the things to take home in the inn, but when he saw that his daughter not only did not help, but said these words outside, he was naturally angry, and first glared at his daughter.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The gold shopkeeper reprimanded.

Seeing that his daughter was still looking at Xie Yan and the others who were far away, the golden shopkeeper grabbed his daughter's hand and sighed heavily, "Ah Lu, you are also old, you should be sensible, and your father can't protect you for a lifetime, you are so ...... Let my father be a hundred years later, how can I put my mind down. ”

"Dad, what did you say?" The mule cart has gradually gone away, Jin Lu is in a very bad mood at the moment, both embarrassed and angry, in addition to impatience or irritability for the words of the gold shopkeeper, and does not experience the gold shopkeeper's fatherly heart.

"Alas!" The golden shopkeeper sighed heavily, "The offspring that your second aunt said last time, I will take a good look when I go back this time, if it is good, I will settle it for you." ”

Jin Lu was immersed in her own thoughts, and did not notice that her father's words were different from the previous chatter, but about her life's events.

"You...... Can you hesitate? After the mule cart walked for a while, Song Xiaochi pulled the curtain, leaned out half of his body, and asked curiously.

Xie Yan glanced at her sideways, seeing that her eyes were shining, looking like she was laughing at herself, Xie Yan couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead, "I have made a struggle in my heart, alas, for a moment, I really want to turn the head of the car, think about it, in this cold winter, trekking through mountains and rivers, and climbing over dangerous mountains, how can it be compared to going to Miss Jin's house to have a lively and warm New Year." ”

Song Xiaochi simply climbed out of the carriage and sat next to him, "Then why did you reject Miss Jin in the end?" ”

"Alas!" Xie Yan sighed a little helplessly, "There's no way, I'm the most soft-hearted, I can't see a weak woman in trouble, you have to make a good note of my favor in your heart, you need to know that I gave up a lot for you."

By the way, let your two maids be polite to me too, and don't always look at me with the eyes of a bad guy. ”

"What have you given up? Tell me, let me see if what you give up is worth what you're asking for? ”

Song Xiaochi asked with a smile.

I don't know why, although Song Xiaochi is smiling very well at this moment, but being stared at by her with crystal eyes like this, Xie Yan feels a chill in his back, and always feels that if he doesn't answer this well, he will feel good in the future.

"Also...... It's nothing, it's just ...... It's good food, good wine...... Well, there are also warm and comfortable beds. ”

Xie Yan didn't know why he said this so weakly, so that he didn't dare to say the most critical word directly in his mouth, so he fooled the past.

"What else is there for food and wine? I didn't hear you. ”

"Gone, gone, what's ......"

"Girl, there's a leeward col over there, let's have lunch there."

At this moment, the crisp voice of the lotus root interrupted the conversation between the two, which made Xie Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

Song Xiaochi looked in the direction of the lotus root's finger, saying that it was a mountain col, but it was better to say that it was a small valley, except for the side close to them, the other three sides were blocked by mountain slopes, which was a good place to rest.

After getting off the mule cart and carriage, the four of them still divided the labor as before, Xie Yan lotus root first looked for hay and firewood that could be burned, coral built a temporary stove, and Song Xiaochi took the Xuanniao to look around to find out if there were any herbs that could be used.
