Chapter 30: Overnight Stay
Trekking through mountains and rivers, I don't know how long I walked, the sun has turned west, and I am tired and tired. She really wanted to find a place to rest, but Xuanyuan Che was still walking in front, and she didn't dare to slow down, afraid of losing it.
Xuanyuan Che didn't look back at her from beginning to end, if she hadn't followed, probably, Xuanyuan Che wouldn't have looked back for her, right? When he lowered his head and was distracted, he only heard a voice without any waves say: "This should be a village on the outskirts of the city, and it should not be far from the capital." ”
Hearing this, Wuyu was excited, raised his head and looked around. I saw scattered houses not far away, and smoke rose from the cooking. The sun has moved to the roof, and it is about to set, and this scene makes people feel reassured.
Wuyu almost cheered, and they finally came out. Compared to her excitement, Xuanyuan Che was much calmer, glanced at her lightly, still didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the farmhouse.
Wuyu followed behind, and when the two of them walked to the door of a farmhouse's courtyard, they were already hungry and exhausted. Xuanyuan Che frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally patted the fence gate nailed up by a few wooden blocks.
The half-human-high mud-made walls and fenced courtyard gates make it easy to see the outside at a glance. I heard the door of the courtyard ring, and a quiet woman's voice came from inside, "Who's cooking, coming soon." ”
A short time later, a woman thirty miles away came out. She looked out, and vaguely saw a man and a woman standing in front of the courtyard gate, she was full of suspicion, and her steps became slow.
When I got closer, I saw that there were two young men and women, the man was handsome and extraordinary, and the woman looked like she was in her teens and looked very good-looking. The woman thought to herself, these two people are so good-looking, and there is nothing abnormal on their faces, they should not be bad people.
Only then did he open the gate of the fence courtyard, welcome Xuanyuan Che and Wuyu into the door, laughed, and looked at the two without a trace. But seeing that the two of them are dressed well, but the clothes are a little wrinkled, which always feels a little unusual.
Although the woman was just a common person, she still saw a problem with such an obvious thing. The people are simple-minded, and if they have doubts in their hearts, they should ask them clearly.
The woman smiled and said, "What happened to the two nobles, why did they come to the house of the people's wife?" ”
Xuanyuan Che bowed politely and said, "In Xia Yuanche, this is Yu Er, the younger sister in Xia. To tell you the truth, my sister and I met a bad guy on the road, and finally escaped death, all the way here, seeing that it was getting late, I thought about staying here for a night. As fate would have it, I knocked on the door of my sister-in-law's house, and hoped that my sister-in-law could take in my brother and sister for one night. ”
Listening to Xuanyuan Che's words, the woman's doubts disappeared, and she politely greeted the two of them into the door, and comforted: "Hey, who doesn't have a time of bad luck, it's just that the people's women's homes are simple, and the son and the young lady should not dislike it." ”
Wuyu hurriedly shook his head, looked at the woman gratefully and said, "My sister-in-law is willing to take me and my brother in, and I am already grateful. ”
She was tired and hungry now, and as long as she had a place to live, she didn't care if she lived in an adobe house or a comfortable mansion.
When the woman saw that she was good-looking, and that she was smart and lovely, she liked it very much. Entering the hall, the woman smiled and said, "The two nobles will sit down for a while, and I will add two more dishes, and the head of the people's wife will come back soon, so we will have dinner immediately." ”
It is a three-room adobe house, with two chairs in the middle of the hall and a few chairs on the left and right. There is a square table on the side, and four chairs are placed around the table, which is simple and refreshing.
There are two rooms on the left and right, and the door of the room on the left is hidden, and two small heads are poking out, and two pairs of eyes are vigilant and curious to look at the big brother and big sister who suddenly appeared.
It was two children, a boy and a girl, the boy was about seven or eight years old, and the girl was five or six years old. Wuyu smiled and beckoned to them, and the two children glanced at each other, smiled and held hands, and ran happily in front of Wuyu.
The little girl's soft and glutinous voice was full of joy and said, "Sister, you look so good, Niu'er has never seen someone as good-looking as her sister." ”
Wuyu squatted down, gently touched the top of Niu'er's hair, and said with a smile: "Niu'er is so cute, she will be a good-looking girl when she grows up." ”
When I looked at the boy in a blink of an eye, I saw him staring at Xuanyuan Che fixedly, although there was vigilance in his eyes, there was also a faint expectation. Perhaps, he was waiting for Xuanyuan Che to speak, as for the expectation in his eyes, what was he expecting from Xuanyuan Che? I can't guess.
Xuanyuan Che probably didn't mean to speak, and stared at him.
Xuanyuan Che didn't care about the boy, he kept staring at him, helplessly, Xuanyuan Che was defeated, and he squatted down like he was safe. As soon as his hand reached out, before it touched the top of the boy's hair, he tilted his head and avoided it. The boy raised his chin and said arrogantly: "The eldest brother said that a man's head should not be touched casually. ”
Xuanyuan Che was speechless, and he couldn't help laughing. Glancing around the room, he asked, "What about your eldest brother?" Why don't you see others? ”
Speaking of his eldest brother, the boy's eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "My eldest brother is a soldier now, of course he is in the barracks, not at home..."
In the end, the boy's expression was gloomy, and it was obvious that he was missing his eldest brother. Wuyu also understood at this time, why the boy had shown an expectant look at Xuanyuan Che before. Probably, it is also because he misses his brother that he wants to get close to Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che was in the royal family, and he didn't know how the brothers and sisters of the common people got along, so he didn't know how to appease the boy. said unnaturally: "Men should be self-reliant, your eldest brother went to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, if he becomes a general in the future, there will be many people who worship him..."
"That's what my eldest brother said!"
Before Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, the boy suddenly became excited, looking at Xuanyuan Che's eyes shining, as if he had found a soulmate. Xuanyuan Che was speechless again, he originally wanted to comfort him, who knew that this kid wouldn't let him finish his words, and wouldn't give him this opportunity at all.
His eyes seemed to wander away at will, and when he caught a glimpse of Wuyu's action of covering his mouth and snickering, the corners of Xuanyuan Che's mouth also bent, and he quickly turned his eyes away for fear of being discovered by her.
After a while, there was a knock at the door outside, and a rough male voice came, and the woman in the stove answered, and the two children were immediately happy when they heard the voice, and called "Daddy" in unison, and they both ran out.
It seems that the male owner of the house has returned, Xuanyuan Che and Wuyu glanced at each other, and also walked out.
