Chapter 104: In the same room
As it gets late, the first snow of winter finally falls, fluttering with raindrops, and the distant mountains slowly blur in the snow.
Jin Nian was cold and hungry, and his crane and cloak were soaked with snow.
Gu Yanyi was not much better than her, and his shoulders were also wet, so he let Jin Nian sit on the horse, and he led the horse forward.
Thankfully, after turning a corner, they found a hunter nearly ten feet away from the path.
There was only one elderly couple in Orion's family. The surname is Cheng, and the son has gone to Suzhou City to make a living, and the couple are old and don't want to go to the city to drag their son, so they have been living in the mountains, farming when they are busy, and hunting in their spare time.
When Gu Yanyi led the horse and appeared in front of their cabin with Jinnian, it was a horse and a brocade dress, which shocked the couple.
Gu Yanyi said apologetically: "I've disturbed the two of you, I was robbed on the road, and I got lost in the mountains in a panic, please take us in for two days." ”
Orion's family are all honest people, and seeing that the two of them are good-looking, he thought that they were not bad people, so he smiled and let them into the house, and said: "If you don't dislike it, call me Uncle Cheng and call her Aunt Cheng." It's snowing, come inside and bake, but don't freeze. ”
He instructed his house to move the place and let them in.
The cabin was very simple, with two wings on the left and right, and a wooden table in the hall, on which were stacked several clay cups, an iron stove, and two benches, which became their habitat.
At this time, a large pot of firewood was burning in the house, which was very warm, and as soon as Bu entered the house, Jin Niandun felt that he had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She took off her wet crane and cloak, and felt a lot better.
Uncle Cheng also found a set of coarse cloth clothes and handed them to Gu Yanyi to change into wet clothes.
After changing their clothes, they both gathered around the brazier to make a fire.
Aunt Cheng was afraid that they would dislike their own simplicity, and she was a little embarrassed: "The house is small, and now there is only one vacant room, or my son entered the city to vacate it, fortunately, you are brothers and sisters, there is a lot less evasion, and the wronged Miss Gongzi will be ...... Rest assured, the sheets are freshly washed and clean! If you have something to do, just call me, and I'll prepare some food in the kitchen at the back. ”
Listening to Aunt Cheng's meaning, I want her to be in the same room with Gu Yanyi tonight?!
Jin Nian opened his mouth slightly in astonishment and looked at Gu Yanyi in a daze.
Gu Yanyi was adding wood to the brazier as if he hadn't heard it, and the newly added wood quickly ignited, causing a scorching flame.
Aunt Cheng lowered her head proudly, and her chapped hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes.
"Aunt Cheng, I'm sorry for you!" Jin Nian smiled kindly at her, and the anti-dialogue that came to her mouth was not spoken.
This soft-hearted nature has not changed! The corners of Gu Yanyi's mouth unconsciously raised, and she smiled silently at Aunt Cheng.
With the acquiescence of the two, Aunt Cheng went to the kitchen, and Uncle Cheng didn't talk much, poured two cups of warm boiled water and handed them to them.
With warm water in her abdomen, Jin Nian's dry throat felt a lot better, she pursed her chapped lips, and added another glass of warm water with some embarrassment, and her dizzy and swollen head finally sobered up.
Dinner was simple thin rice with pickled roe deer meat, and I was afraid that these were the best things that the two old men could come up with.
Jin Nian's throat was very painful, a little top-heavy, and he was weak, so he barely used some porridge and stopped moving.
It was getting dark, there was nothing to do in the mountains, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng both slept early, before going to the wing, Uncle Cheng also deliberately sighed: "The snow fell early this year, and it was much bigger than in previous years, I went out to take a look just now, the snow outside was already up to my ankles, this winter is so cold, I am afraid that the wood I cut this year is not enough for the New Year, I can only save a little." You've been on the road all day today, so it's better to rest early. ”
Aunt Cheng carried the wind lantern, Uncle Cheng followed behind her, and the two entered the wing room on the right one after the other.
There was a "squeak", and the sound of the door tip was heard in the wing room on the right.
The voice was in Jin Nian's ears, disturbing her heart.
She glanced up at the main hall, and the fire in the brazier was getting smaller and smaller, only the sporadic coals were still red, and there was no extra wood in the room.
Outside the house, the sound of snow falling was heard intermittently.
Gu Yanyi was still gathered around the brazier, his posture did not move, and his coarse cloth clothes still could not hide his gentle temperament.
The left wing was only two steps away from them, and they could sleep comfortably by walking over and pushing open the door.
But no one led the way into the wings, and no one spoke.
Gu Yanyi had been paying attention to Jin Nian, and seeing that she was becoming more and more uneasy, her little face was about to wrinkle due to the entanglement.
He smiled silently, looked at her, and asked, "Sixth sister, when are we going to sleep?" ”
"You see, it's getting dark, the fire is out, we can't just sit there......"
The shallow voice is serious.
Jin Nian is stupid, is it possible, they really want to sleep together tonight?
With a thud on his head, he stopped thinking and looked at him in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
The ignorant expression was like a lost child, confused and a little helpless, and squeaked: "I, I ......"
I can't say why it was for a long time.
Gu Yanyi couldn't hold back any longer, and chuckled: "I have a suggestion, I sleep in the hall, and you sleep in the wing, so ...... Luckily? ”
He raised his good-looking eyebrows, turned his face to her, and his deep eyes were full of smiles.
Jin Nian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then reacted, he was tricked by him again, but he didn't say anything excessive, if he was worried about him, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here, proving that he had thought like that?
"It's okay to ...... like this" Consciousness was inappropriate, and she added, "I have wronged Fourth Brother Gu." ”
There are fewer and fewer sparks, and the house is getting colder.
Jin Nian lowered his eyes and got up, silently pushing open the door of the wing.
There was no one in the hall, and the small space suddenly became empty, Gu Yanyi withdrew his gaze from the wing room, and looked out of the room with his eyebrows.
With a "creak", the left wing opened from the inside.
Gu Yanyi looked back, Jin Nian was walking out of the wing, holding his crane in his hand, which she dried when she was just roasting.
He Yu handed it to him, and she said, "I slept for half the night, and when the hour passed, you told me to get up, and you slept for half the night." ”
She had a serious expression, as if she had made some big decision.
The crane was neatly folded by her, and seeing that he didn't answer, the little hand stubbornly stretched out in front of him: "I haven't had time to wash this yet, it's too cold, you ...... will be draped. ”
So, is she thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds?
Gu Yanyi reached out and touched the crane, and the fluff inside was ambiguous.
He didn't refuse, he smiled at her and said yes, and there were no extra words, and finally the relationship between the two eased, and he didn't want to argue with her.
As for the time when the child told her to get up and change to sleep, he just didn't hear it.
