Chapter 144: Flower Protector
Jiang Xinyi sat up, snored, stretched her waist, and looked at the two people who were pulling in the middle of the room. The man just glanced at her and lowered his head nervously.
Wow, his head is more than 1.8 meters + passion, he looks very much like Wu Song in the old version of the Water Margin, it's so good, I met a handsome guy when I went out!
"'Milk', 'Milk', what are you doing?" Jiang Xinyi pretended to be stupid and asked.
"Xiao Xin is awake? This is Kiko, he is afraid that you will be embarrassed, and you must sleep in the stove room. The old 'milk' and 'milk' pulled the placket of Xizi's clothes and said to Jiang Xinyi.
"Xizi, don't be so particular, just make up for a night, I'll leave tomorrow, I won't bother you again, if you sleep in the stove and get sick from the cold, my sin will be great, if you insist on that, I have to leave now." Jiang Xinyi pretended to leave.
"No, okay, I'm in this house." Kiko whispered, her face flushing even more.
As soon as Jiang Xinyi saw his expression, she wanted to be happy, and heard the old "milk" and "milk" say that he was twenty years old this year, four years older than himself according to his age at this time, but if he was according to the age before the crossing, he would be a younger brother. This is strangely thin-skinned, and he doesn't react to a girl's family, but he blushes fast!
"Hehehe, Xiaoxin, don't laugh at him, this kid has been here with me for several years, and he hasn't been in contact with girls." The old "milk" and "milk" smiled and took Jiang Xinyi's hand and said.
"'Milk' 'Milk', what do you say?" Kiko finished speaking even more shyly, sitting by the brazier, bowing her head and pulling the charcoal.
"Xiaoxin, you're hungry, we didn't call you when we saw that you were sleeping soundly, eat first, the food is hot in the pot, I'll serve it." The old "milk" "milk" said.
"'Milk' 'Milk' sit, I'll go by myself." Jiang Xinyi took the hand of the old "milk" and "milk" and said.
"I'll go." Kiko suddenly stood up and said as she walked into the fire.
Jiang Xinyi wanted to help, but the old "milk" and "milk" said; "Let him go, suddenly there are many people in the family, and he is quite happy." After speaking, he pressed Jiang Xinyi to the chair next to the table and sat down.
Kiko brought all the food, put it on the table, and immediately sat down by the brazier again. The old "milk" and "milk" sat opposite Jiang Xinyi, and "watched" her eat peacefully.
"So much goodies?" Jiang Xinyi looked at the bowls of dishes on the table and clapped her hands happily.
A few potstickers made of bud flour, a plate of emerald green pickled cucumbers, a mushroom stew, and a fried yellow egg.
"If you like to eat, eat more, anyway, I didn't buy it, the eggs are born from my own chickens, and the game is all from Xizi Mountain." The old "milk" and "milk" were afraid that Jiang Xinyi would be embarrassed to eat, so he hurriedly explained.
"'Milk' 'Milk', don't worry, I'm just a foodie, wait for the next three lights, you don't have to eat pain." Jiang Xinyi said, so she was unceremoniously busy with her mouth, where do you care about being reserved! It's all your own until you eat it.
Jiang Xinyi ate with a big mouth, although the old "milk" and "milk" eyes couldn't see, but her ears were so good, she continued to "look" with a smile.
Jiang Xinyi noticed with the peripheral vision of her eyes that Xizi always looked up at her secretly, probably never seen this foodie, it was like coming out of a starvation prison.
Jiang Xinyi pretended not to see it and continued to pull it into her mouth. "What kind of meat is in the mushroom, and why is it so fragrant?" A can of meat was almost gone, and she remembered to ask.
"It's yellow muntjac." The old "milk" and "milk" didn't speak, and Kiko muffled the "plugging".
"Oh, it's the deer-like thing." Jiang Xinyi understood, anyway, it wasn't panda meat, otherwise she would definitely have a sense of guilt.
When Jiang Xinyi was full, the things on the table were basically bottomed out, only the plate of pickled cucumbers was still some, if it wasn't too salty, it was estimated that it would be gone!
Jiang Xinyi "touched" and "touched" her full stomach, cleaned up the table, and competed to wash the dishes and chopsticks by herself, Xizi couldn't earn her, she stood aside honestly and watched, the old "milk" and "milk" sat in place without saying a word, with a smile on her face.
"When you wake up, let's talk for a while." The old "milk" and "milk" pulled her to sit on the kang and said.
"'Milk' 'Milk', can I ask you for one thing?" Jiang Xinyi stroked the old "milk" and "milk" hands full of age spots and said.
"This kid, if there's anything, just tell me." The old "milk" "milk" pulled out and kept stroking Jiang Xinyi's head with his hand, and said kindly.
"After I'm gone, if anyone comes looking for me, will you please say they haven't seen me?" Jiang Xinyi said.
"I don't want you to tell me this, I've already told Xizi, and I definitely won't tell you about it." The old "milk" and "milk" said to her lovingly.
"Thank you." Jiang Xinyi was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
When Jiang Xinyi was chatting with the old "milk" and "milk", Xizi went to the corner of the kang, laid out her quilt, and lay down in her clothes, facing the wall with her face.
Jiang Xinyi secretly pursed her lips and smiled, and helped the old "milk" and "milk" lay out the bedding, and the old "milk" and "milk" let her sleep on the kang. She untied all the mess on her body and put it next to her pillow, so that she could sleep soundly tonight.
She was very relieved of this simple and kind grandfather and grandson, and if they were not trustworthy, then she didn't know who to trust!
The warm kang and the hot quilt, Jiang Xinyi took off her clothes outside and got in, thinking to herself, the people in the palace and the barracks are so stupid, why don't you know how to get a bed like this, how warm it is.
Although Jiang Xinyi had slept all afternoon, she had just fallen asleep not long after she got into the bed. This was the first time she had dreamed of her mother since she crossed over, holding her in her arms and patting her on the back.
At dawn, she realized that she had gotten into the old "milk" and "milk" quilt at some point, still snuggled in her arms, and one of her hands reached into the chest of the old "milk" and "milk", "touching" the shriveled room.
"'Milk' 'Milk'." Jiang Xinyi screamed embarrassedly and retracted her hand. Seeing that the old "milk" and "milk" had already woken up, she didn't dare to move for fear of waking her up.
"Hehe, child, lie down a little longer, Kiko is going to make breakfast." The old "milk" and "milk" said to help her tuck the quilt corners, and then sat up, "groped" and got dressed and got off the kang.
To be honest, Jiang Xinyi really didn't want to get up, she just stayed here for a day, and fell in love here, and she was a little scared when she thought of walking alone in the ice and snow like a fugitive, and spending the night in the trees.
I'm afraid to be afraid, I still have to go, Jiang Xinyi just wants to mess with him at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Thinking of this, she ruthlessly lifted the quilt and quickly put on the clothes prepared for her by the old "milk" and "milk", saying that it was Xizi's clothes a few years ago, and his current clothes are too big for her to wear.
This was the first night, Jiang Xinyi asked them.
She put her treasures away. also deliberately set aside a silver ticket with a face value of 200 taels, intending to leave it for the old "milk" and "milk".
After folding the futon, I put on my boots on the ground, and as soon as the boots are put on my feet, they are immediately warm, how can this be? Jiang Xinyi was a little puzzled, she remembered that her boots were a little wet, and she forgot to dry them. Is it the old "milk" and "milk"?
"Xiao Xin, get up, why don't you sleep more?" The old "milk" and "milk" heard a voice in the outhouse and walked in and asked.
"Milk, milk, thank you for making my boots warm." Jiang Xinyi took the hand of the old "milk" and "milk" and said gratefully.
"Drying boots? I didn't, I thought about it last night, but as soon as I chatted with you, I forgot that it was Kiko, and I heard him add charcoal by the brazier early in the morning. The old "milk" "milk" said with a smile.
Kiko? Jiang Xinyi looked gratefully into the stove house next to him and saw that he was busy with something.
After breakfast, it was time to leave, and the old "milk" and "milk" reluctantly took her hand and said; "Xiaoxin, be careful on the road, if you can't find relatives in the capital, come back quickly, here in "milk" and "milk", life is a little harder, but you will never be wronged, and you will not be hungry."
"'Milk' 'Milk', I know, you have to take care of your body." Jiang Xinyi held back the tears in the corners of her eyes and said, while taking out the prepared silver ticket from her arms and stuffing it into the hands of the old "milk" and "milk".
"'Milk' 'Milk', I have nothing to repay you for, you take this, and it is ready for urgent use." Jiang Xinyi choked up and walked out of the house, and when she looked up, she saw Xizi holding a bag of things in both hands and handing it to herself with a red face.
"Take this bit of silver with you, you can use it when you go out." Kiko stammered to her, and then simply shoved the bag into her hand.
Jiang Xinyi lifted the cloth outside and saw that there were some scattered pieces of silver inside, as well as some copper coins, and she didn't know how long she had saved it.
"Give me this, what about you?" Jiang Xinyi deliberately teased him.
"I go hunting every day, and I will exchange it for silver, you are a girl outside, and it is inconvenient to defend yourself without silver." When Xizi spoke, she still didn't dare to look at Jiang Xinyi's face.
"Xizi, Xiao Xin gave me this." The old "milk" "milk" came out and handed the silver ticket in his hand to Xizi and said.
Xizi hesitated to take it in his hand and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, he didn't have a silver ticket, but he had seen it, "'Milk' 'Milk', this is a silver ticket, there are two hundred taels." He said hesitantly.
"Two hundred taels of silver tickets? Xiao Xin, what are you doing here? We don't need so much silver in this deep mountain, you hurry up and put it away, don't you understand the way to get rich for the poor? The old "milk" and "milk" said nervously.
Jiang Xinyi knew that it was this silver ticket of two hundred taels that frightened them, and she was very sad in her heart.
"'Milk' and 'milk', you can take it, in this world, I really don't have any relatives, just when I am filial to you, it doesn't matter if I don't need it now, I can use it in the future when Xizi marries a daughter-in-law." Jiang Xinyi didn't know if she would mix well in the future, so she didn't dare to promise to take them to the capital in the future.
Only in this way will her heart be more comfortable, and she must repay those who help her in times of suffering!
The old "milk" and "milk" didn't know what to say, and Kiko also pinched the silver ticket and didn't know what to do.
"Take it, I don't lack this thing, really." Jiang Xinyi grabbed the arm of the old "milk" and "milk" and said coquettishly.
"Alas, Xiaoxin, although 'Milk' and 'Milk' are old and can't see with their eyes, 'Milk' and 'Milk' know that your husband's family must have a very high status, and you must not be a child of an ordinary family, and this is not a place for you to stay. This silver ticket, "milk" and "milk" will be accepted, and I don't know if "milk" and "milk" will be able to see you in the future? Okay, let's go, "Milk" "Milk" will pray for you every day. The old "milk" "milk" whimpered.
"'Milk' 'Milk'." Jiang Xinyi threw herself into her arms, crying sadly.
"Son, hurry up and get on your way, or you won't be in town before dark." The old "milk" and "milk" said reluctantly.
"'Milk' 'Milk', take care of yourself." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she wiped her tears and set off with Xizi.
changed her appearance and changed her clothes, Jiang Xinyi also deliberately pulled down the trouser legs to cover the boots that did not match the clothes. Now, Jiang Xinyi is not afraid, and follows Xizi to the main road.
Xizi walked in front silently, and Jiang Xinyi looked at the bow on his body behind him, as well as more than a dozen arrows tied to pheasant "feathers".
Alas, if it weren't for the extraordinary times, I would have to live here for a while, so that Xizi could teach herself to 'shoot' arrows, Jiang Xinyi regretted in her heart.
Walking on the main road, there were no pedestrians in front and behind, Jiang Xinyi looked back at the direction of the barracks, and then looked at the road in front, she knew why she didn't fight for it every time she had an opportunity, so she didn't leave for a long time by that person's side.
Because, I lack the courage to zero everything and start again! Well, now that you've taken the first step, you'll have to move forward bravely.
