Chapter 237: Leaking Mouth
Zhangzhu glanced at the inn not far away, there were several lanterns hanging outside the inn, and people came and went from time to time.
"Shall we settle there?" Zhangzhu asked Chu Yuanzhen suspiciously.
Chu Yuanzhen said: "This is the only place in the neighborhood where you can stay." β
They are in an embarrassing situation at present, and they still run to the store like this, isn't it self-defeating?
"For your safety, I'd better not go." The palm bead lowered the curtain.
Chu Yuanzhen said worriedly: "You can't get the rest you deserve, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." β
"My body isn't as bad as you think, I ask you, how many days are we going to run on the road?"
Yuan Zhen said: "It will take about seven or eight days, of course, if everything goes well." β
"Seven or eight days? It's also trivial, when necessary, I can return Liao Ye to take turns driving, and it's okay for everyone to take turns to rest, so let's continue to hurry. Zhangzhu made a decision for Yuanzhen.
"You're really not coming down?"
"I'm worried that I'm going to get into more trouble, so be it, it's in everyone's interest to get there sooner. It's a bit of a hassle to travel at night, but it's good that it's not that hot anymore. We don't stay at inns, but that doesn't mean we can't find another place to stay. β
Chu Yuanzhen was originally worried that Zhangzhu would follow him all the way, but now seeing that Zhangzhu insisted on him, he took advantage of the situation and let Liao Kai continue driving.
It's almost August, the sky is full of stars, and the faint afterglow makes people who walk at night not feel dark and scary.
The car was dark, and when it was quiet, you could hear each other's breathing. Zhangzhu felt a little tired, and planned to rest against the wall for a while, but not long after she closed her eyes, she felt an extra piece of clothing on her body, and the person next to her carefully tucked it for her.
The palm beads did not make a sound, pretending to be asleep.
Chu Yuanzhen then helped her palm beads to lie down, leaving the position in the back row to her, so that she could lie down more comfortably.
After placing the palm beads, Chu Yuanzhen sat at the door, and he and Liao Kai began to chat.
"You've been out for so long, and you're still worried about home, right?"
Liao Kai was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know if that naughty ghost in my family made her mother angry." β
Yuan Zhen said: "They are all fine, you don't have to worry." If she wants to go back to Beijing, she needs you to escort her all the way. The last time I went to the capital, I didn't say a few words to you in a hurry, is everything going well in the capital? β
Liao Kai replied: "It's okay, it's just that Miss Fu is not easy, don't look at her unaccompanied, but she really opened the medical hall, and the business is not bad." Her medical skills are also recognized by the hospital. Speaking of these, Liao Kai is also a little honored.
"She's never been small, but it's not been easy in the past few months, right? She has a strong temperament, and she doesn't want to tell me even if she suffers. Yuan Zhen spoke quietly, for fear that the noise would make the palm beads sleep.
Liao Kai replied: "It is not easy to open that medical hall, and it is also thanks to Miss Fu's ability. β
Whether it is Fu Zhangzhu or Xie Ruoyi, who Chu Yuanzhen knows, she is so strong, no matter how hard her life is, she has never heard her say a word of bitterness, how can such a woman not make people feel distressed.
"Did the He family I asked for help before?"
Liao Kai said truthfully: "Miss Fu didn't want to cause trouble to others, so she only lived in He's house for about ten days before moving out. However, she was fortunate enough to get acquainted with Lord Xun's insiders in the He family, and the two used to have contacts, and Lord Xun's insiders were the only friends of Miss Fu in the capital......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice behind him: "Master Liao, you talk too much!" β
She didn't sleep?! Yuan Zhen was a little surprised, and Liao Kai was also extremely embarrassed, so he quickly shut up and didn't dare to say anything more. Chu Yuanzhen was stunned for a while before saying, "I thought you were asleep." β
Zhangzhu said angrily: "Look at me when I fall asleep, and arrange me behind my back." β
"Where is it, you misunderstood...... Yuan Zhen said in his heart, how dare I arrange you, I can't bear it anymore.
Zhangzhu stopped pretending to be asleep, and she sat up.
Yuan Zhen put down the curtain of the car, and still couldn't see her fingers in the car. Zhangzhu returned the clothes on his body to Yuanzhen.
"Aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold."
After this sentence, the two fell into silence, and Chu Yuanzhen also felt embarrassed, talking about others behind him, and was immediately caught by the person concerned, this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
Chu Yuanzhen knew that he didn't dare to provoke the palm beads in anger, but when he thought about it in private, he felt very surprised. Xun Shao is Xie Ruoyi's former fiancΓ©, both of them have set a marriage date, and it won't be long before Xie Ruoyi will marry into the Xun family, but how did she become friends with Xun Shao's wife? What exactly does she want to do? Aren't you afraid that Xun Shao will notice something and expose himself to danger? Xun Shao, that person, can do everything.
This night each had their own thoughts, and I didn't know how far I ran, and then when I passed by a mountain temple, Liao Kai stopped the car, and he said inward: "Second master, there is a mountain temple, do you want to come down to rest?" β
"It's good that the horses have been running for so long, and it's time to take a break." Chu Yuanzhen went to ask Zhangzhu: "You also come down and find a place to rest, right?" β
Zhangzhu immediately rejected his request: "No need, I can sleep in the car." β
Chu Yuanzhen didn't force her, he got out of the car first. Liao Kai went to find some forage in the dark to feed the horses.
Zhangzhu leaned against the car, there was silence outside, and occasionally the insects in the grass outside could be heard. At this time, she was really sleepy and couldn't open her eyes, so she leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Chu Yuanzhen didn't sleep well this night, he sat there and fed the mosquitoes almost all night, and listened to the insects all night. By the next day, there were already many red and big bumps on his face and the back of his hands.
Seeing his appearance, Zhangzhu couldn't help but laugh: "Fortunately, I didn't listen to you and go down to feed the mosquitoes." β
"I'm just afraid of mosquito bites, and a bite is a big bag, and it's very itchy. Is there anything you can do? β
"Of course there is." Zhangzhu brought her baggage, and she fumbled for a while, finding a white flat box. The flat box contained a green paste-like thing, and she gave the box to Chu Yuanzhen: "You take it and wipe it, it will relieve itching and swelling quickly." β
Chu Yuanzhen took it and picked out the ointment and applied it by herself, the ointment was very cool, but the taste was a little pungent. However, the ointment did work, and it didn't take long for him to stop itching.
"If this good thing is to be sold, it will definitely sell for a good price."
"There are similar things in the pharmacy outside, but I have only made a slight change in the formula, but because of the high cost, I can't promote it."
"Oh, that's a pity. Go back and make a few more boxes, I'll buy them from you, how about it? β
Zhangzhu agreed, "Okay." β
