Chapter 55: Fate
Early in the morning of the second day, after Jiang Liuli packed up her things, she drove away, before leaving, she deliberately went to the house of the beaten woman, secretly took a look at the situation, and found that the man and the woman were miraculously reconciled, seeing this, she could only leave helplessly, since the woman was willing to live such a life, she would not persuade her to leave, this is the life she chose, she would not interfere, and she did not want to meddle.
Walking out of the city gate, the next journey will only have the woods to live in, fortunately, there are a lot of ingredients prepared, enough to eat for two days, but unfortunately the osmanthus cakes bought, two days can not eat osmanthus cakes, so she is a little difficult.
While hurrying helplessly, I looked at the bare trees around me boringly, after so many days of travel, I found myself bored and irritable for the first time, maybe I was about to arrive in Fengcheng, and I was going to see Gongsun Hou soon, so I was not happy.
It was still early, and there was nothing on the road except her carriage, which only rattled and rattled.
Just when she was bored and about to fall asleep, she suddenly noticed a carriage parked on the road in front of her, which looked relatively simple, and it was estimated that even the wind could not withstand it on such a cold day.
She walked straight past the carriage, not wanting to meddle with it, but was surprised to find that the man was the man who had helped her last night.
"What's wrong with the carriage?" She looked at the man with his back to her, and then at his carriage, and saw that the wheels had fallen into the pit.
"Girl, it's you." The man's face was full of surprise when he saw her, and he didn't expect the two to meet again in such a way.
"The wheels won't come out?" She saw that his neat robe had been stained with mud, and she must have thought of many ways, but she still didn't push the wheels out.
"yes." He frowned in distress, it seemed that he had nothing to do, for a weak scholar to pull the carriage out of the mud pit was a very difficult thing.
Jiang Liuli jumped out of the car without thinking, stretched out her hands, and lifted the wheels lightly, with her skills, it was effortless to lift a carriage.
She pushed the car forward, and the wheels left the mud puddle, she lowered the wheels, clapped her hands, and when she turned to look at the man, she found that he was looking at her with shocked eyes, and his mouth was so shocked that he couldn't help but close his mouth.
"Uh...... I have a lot of strength by nature. She thought about it for a long time, trying to deceive the past with this clumsy lie.
"I didn't expect the girl to have such magical powers." He closed his mouth and looked at her with adoring eyes, his strength was too small compared to her, and he was really ashamed.
"Where are you going?" In order not to keep him thinking about his strength, he could only change the topic first.
"I'm going to Fengcheng, I don't know where the girl is going?" Sure enough, he managed to divert his attention and politely asked her.
"It's such a coincidence, I also went to Fengcheng." Her eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect the two to be so fateful, as if it was deliberately arranged by God.
"Really? That's really fate. The man was also shocked that he had often traveled far away, but had never met anyone who traveled with him.
"Since we are on the same road, let's go together." Jiang Liuli suggested, I was bored just now, but now that I have company, it seems that God treats her well.
"Okay." He gladly accepted that it was definitely not safe to see her in a girl's hurry, although he was powerless, but he could also block some troubles for her, such as yesterday, didn't he help her.
"Girl, wait." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly climbed into the carriage and took out her baggage, originally thinking that there would be no chance to see each other again, but who would have thought that he would see it today.
"I thought I would have no chance to pay you back, but fortunately, I met you so fatefully today." He handed her the baggage and smiled gently.
"Thank you." She took the burden and found that the burden was still tied in her own way, it seemed that he was just with him, and he didn't open it out of curiosity, and he was really a gentleman.
She took out the osmanthus cake from her baggage, originally thinking that she would not be able to eat it in the past two days, but she didn't expect it to return to her hand so soon.
"Here you go." She took out a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to the man next to her.
"No, girl, you can eat." The man shook his hand modestly, and when he found that his hands were full of dust, he put them behind him embarrassedly.
Jiang Liuli saw his dirty hands at a glance, put down the burden in his hand, took out water from the carriage, and cleaned his hands first.
"Here, wash it." She turned to him and said softly.
"Thank you, girl." Seeing this, he looked at her gratefully, he had loved clean people, and his hands were so dirty that he couldn't stand it.
Jiang Liuli poured water, and he carefully washed his hands, and soon washed them, but because it was cold water, his hands were already frozen a little red.
Watching him rub his hands, a trace of reluctance suddenly welled up in her heart, this strange idea made her unclear why, before she could figure it out, she walked into the carriage again, and took out a hand stove from it, originally she didn't need this, but in order not to let people find out that she knew kung fu, she still prepared one, but never used it, this time it just came in handy.
"Warm your hands with this." She handed him the hot hand stove, and in the morning she put charcoal in it for convenience.
"It's better for you." The man modestly pushed it back, estimating that she just had such a hand stove, and she used it herself, so she didn't have it.
"I don't need it, you take it quickly." Jiang Liuli threw the hand stove into his arms irritably, disgusted with his mother-in-law's temperament the most.
"Thank you, girl." Seeing this, the man reluctantly put the stove in his palm and began to warm up, although her expression was a little fierce, but he knew that her heart was kind.
Jiang Liuli saw that his hands were no longer so red, so he picked up the osmanthus cake and continued to eat, ate a piece himself, and picked up another piece and stuffed it directly into his mouth, not wanting to argue with him anymore.
"Thank you, girl." The man's face was red with shame from her actions, swallowed the osmanthus cake in his mouth, and thanked him embarrassedly.
After eating a few pieces of osmanthus cake, Jiang Liuli and the man each drove the carriage and started on the road, and there were no other passers-by on the road, so they put the car side by side, so it was much more convenient to chat.
"By the way, Childe, I don't know your name yet?" After chatting for a long time, Jiang Liuli remembered that she didn't know the other party's name, this was the first time she took the initiative to make a friend, just because of his clear eyes.
"In the Lower Lan Tingxuan." He replied politely as he drove.
Jiang Liuli was stunned when she heard his name, turned her head and looked at him in shock, could it be that he was a pen pal he had never met? It can't be such a coincidence.
"Orchid's orchid? The courtyard of the courtyard, the majestic Xuan? She asked in surprise, if it was the same name and the same word, it was her pen pal.
"Exactly." Her answer was so shocked that she almost forgot to breathe, is there such a coincidence in the world? Let her meet the person she has always wanted to see without preparation, but she wants to see her again?
"What's wrong? Girl. Seeing that she had been in a trance, he asked inexplicably.
"It's fine." She took a deep breath and smiled happily, she didn't expect to meet him here, her mood was miraculously so good.
"I wonder if I can ask the girl's name?" Lan Tingxuan blushed, this was the first time he had asked a girl's name.
"Call me an ugly girl." I don't know why, she didn't tell him her real name, not because she didn't want to tell him, but because she felt that since she had already appeared in another face, it would be better to use a fake name as well, and she was worried that it would be difficult to explain if she met someone she knew before with such a look, and it would be bad if her hard-won idle days were ruined.
"Ugly...... Girl. He really can't call him such a name, it's better to call him a girl, after all, no one likes to be called ugly.
"Don't be so formal, just call me a girl." After Jiang Liuli finished speaking, she suddenly felt so disgusting, she was drunk when she was called a girl at such an age.
"Well, you're welcome." Lan Tingxuan was no longer polite when he saw him say this, after all, it was also awkward to call a girl.
The two are like friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, there are endless topics to talk about, Jiang Liuli is also freed from boredom, even if there is no beautiful scenery, the mood has become extremely good.
At noon, the two found a place near the river to stop and rest, Jiang Liuli took out the hot pot and prepared to make a hearty hot pot to eat, she ate alone a few days ago, and felt very bored, but now it's okay, someone is with her, and her appetite has become better.
"Girl, what is this?" Lan Tingxuan had never seen a hot pot, and when she saw her cooking with such a small pot, she was immediately curious.
"Hot pot, you can taste it later." She poured the big bone broth prepared by Ming Xia into the pot, this time she didn't bring spicy seasoning, she was worried that the spicy taste would stimulate the disfiguring medicine, and cause other unpredictable hidden dangers, for the sake of safety, she planned not to eat spicy during the disfigurement period.
Lan Tingxuan watched dumbfounded as she put the food into the pot little by little, and then saw her take out the rice and put it in another pot to boil, and suddenly admired her.
Soon, the dishes in the pot were cooked, but the rice was not yet good, so she had to eat the vegetables first, she handed him the cleaned dishes and chopsticks, and he took them in a daze, not expecting her to carry everything at all.
Jiang Liuli picked up a piece of self-made sausage from the pot and put it in his bowl, but she studied it for a long time to make it, although the taste was not as delicious as what she had eaten before, but it was still relatively delicious.
"Thank you." After Lan Tingxuan thanked him, he looked down at the sausage in the bowl, this was the first time he saw this thing, he was curious, and then he picked it up and ate it in his mouth, and was immediately amazed.
"What is this? It's so delicious. His eyes widened in shock, although his family was not very wealthy, he had tasted a lot of food, but this was the first time he had eaten it.
Jiang Liuli looked at him funny, and saw that he was very curious about everything around him, so she explained to him one by one, first from eating to hot pot, and patiently told him the usefulness of these things, and then she realized that she was so patient.
