Chapter 19: Anomaly

There weren't many tea customers in the building, and when they saw the two outsiders coming in, they looked at each other a few times and went to talk.

Xiao Er who greeted him asked for a pot of tea and peanut snacks, and Qu Xiaomo said to the guard who was standing beside him like a piece of wood: "Little brother, come on, sit and sit, you are holding a sword like this, standing too eye-catching." ”

The guard glanced around with cold eyes, and indeed many people secretly looked at him, and immediately felt uncomfortable, hesitated for a while, and then sat down at his words, and placed the long sword on the bench in the middle.

Qu Xiaomo smiled and made a cup of tea for him, and said, "Come, take a sip of tea to quench your thirst, although this tea is far from the capital, it can barely be eaten, let's go back." ”

The person on the other side didn't speak or care about himself, Qu Xiaomo didn't mind at all, after so many days of getting along, he already knew the temperament of these people, don't look at them with a taciturn and cold appearance and his master, but sometimes he can also say a cold joke or two to amuse, when she was halfway through the break earlier, she said this to Jin Shisan, and the guard squatting on the tree interjected coldly, which could make her happy.

The two drank tea, Qu Xiaomo said a few words from time to time, listening to the tea guest next to him talking about the short affairs of the east family and the west family, a pot of tea had been drunk by the two of them almost to the bottom, and when they were about to call Xiao Er to settle the bill, two men came from outside the door, with long swords and big swords, and sat down across the two empty tables between them.

Qu Xiaomo, who was about to raise his hand to call Xiao Er to settle the bill, was secretly grabbed by the guard opposite, squinted at her and shook his head, and his eyes gestured to the two people who had just come in.

Qu Xiaomo withdrew his hand and pretended to pick up the teacup to continue drinking tea, asking him what was the matter, but he saw that the guard shook his head, and he had to calm down.

The two of them seemed to be in a hurry, and the refreshments they brought up were eaten after a while, and then they took out the silver to find Xiao Er, and one of the men asked at the checkout: "Little Second Brother, have you been passing by here recently?" ”

The little second brother said with a smile: "Look at what the guest officer said, although our Feng County is not a big county seat, there are a lot of businessmen passing by, I don't know who the two are looking for?" ”

The two men looked at each other when they heard this, shook their heads and pointed to the silver on the table, and said, "It's okay, let's settle the bill." ”

After the two of them walked out of the teahouse, the two of them got up to settle the bill, Qu Xiaomo looked at the guards beside him with solemn expressions and knew that the two people were afraid that there was a problem, so they rushed towards the inn with large bags and guards.

After entering the inn, the guard who followed talked to Jin Thirteen privately, and then went upstairs to look for Jin Shi, Qu Xiaomo carried his things and saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly went back to his house to pack his things.

Sure enough, as soon as he packed the bags that he turned out last night, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, Jin 13 saw her and only whispered: "Pack up your things, we will set off overnight tonight." ”

Qu Xiaomo nodded in response, and saw Jin Shisan go downstairs and ask the innkeeper for some dry food.

That night, after a hasty dinner, everyone began to carry things onto the carriage placed in the backyard of the inn, and the group took advantage of the night to bribe the officers and soldiers defending the city with silver to go out of the city.

By the light of the waning moon, he walked for nearly two hours before he found a forest to stop, and at this time it was late at night, and the golden sting's order did not make a fire, and the guards tied up their horses and jumped on the branches around the carriage, and Jin Thirteen sat on the edge of the carriage with the groom with a knife.

Qu Xiaomo shrank in the corner of the carriage, and the hazy moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches and into the carriage from the raised curtains.

Under the moonlight, Jin Zhen's cold demonic face was dyed with a thick cold, but it was very striking, and his often cold eyes were closed, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness, both good and evil.

Qu Xiaomo looked at it quietly for a long time, not to blame her for being a nymphomaniac, this man is really outstanding, but it's just a little cold.

Leaning against the wall of the car and looking at the person, he fell asleep unconsciously, and the golden sting, which was originally tightly closed, listened to the sound of his slow breathing for a while, and slowly opened his eyes for a long time, and the cold eyes in the dark were fixed on the person who was asleep with his head tilted, and got up and took the thin blanket on the side to cover it.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Jin 13 and the coachman outside saw it come out, and hurriedly jumped out of the car to salute, Jin Yu waved them to get up, got out of the car and glanced at the branches around him, and asked, "Can you find out who sent them?" ”

Jin 13 twisted his eyebrows and shook his head: "The subordinate has already passed the book to his brother. ”

Jin Yu didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, turned around and got into the carriage again, lifted the curtain and saw that Qu Xiaomo was still asleep, so he lightened his steps.

Lying down on the soft pillow, looking sideways at the person who couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, the thin figure couldn't help but make him unsure of Master Zhihuai's words, what is so special about this kid that can prevent disasters for himself?

After getting along with each other in the past few months, he found that he was no different from others! At most, it's too feminine, and there are many quirks in life, such as going to the toilet and the like, but they can all understand, and the golden sting, who unconsciously twisted his eyebrows and couldn't figure it out, simply turned over and closed his eyes to rest, and he was actually abandoned by the slightest ripple brought by the kid's laughter in his heart.

When he woke up in the morning, Qu Xiaomo looked up and saw as usual that the golden stinger had been dressed neatly and his face had been washed, and the guards outside had already fed the horses and gnawed the dry food.

Jin Shisan, who was leaning on the horse and eating steamed buns, looked at her with a smile and said, "Yo, get up!" ”

Qu Xiaomo wiped his face, squirted at his feet with a mouthful of water, glanced at him, and said, "Why don't you wake me up." ”

The master is awake, and she is not awake when she waits, so where is her face to rest!

Jin 13 reacted very quickly, dodged the water she squirted out with a slight jump, and said, "The master said that he would leave later today." ”

"Why?" Qu Xiaomo drank two sips of water and asked puzzledly, didn't you leave before the sky was bright, and it was already bright at this time.

"Ask so much, what's the point." Jin 13 raised his hand and knocked on her head, and said, "Hurry up and go in and serve the master, I was going to wake you up, and the master also stopped you from sleeping more, look at how good it is for you, and serve me with snacks in the future, understand?" ”

Qu Xiaomo was surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect this ice cube to be very good-hearted, but when did she not serve her heart? Will this squinting eye speak?

glared at him, tightened the water bladder plug, took an uneaten steamed bun in his hand and bit it, turned around and climbed back into the car.

Seeing her come in with the curtain, Jin Yu raised his eyes and glanced at her, and rarely asked, "Can you ride a horse?" ”

When Qu Xiaomo heard this, he hurriedly took out the steamed buns stuffed in his mouth, and replied with a little embarrassment: "No." ”

Jin Yu didn't continue to ask, turned his head and lifted the curtains of the car, looked at the sky outside, and instructed Jin Shisan: "Let's go." ”

Qu Xiaomo ate a steamed bun with water, and turned out the snacks that he had to buy yesterday, and asked Jin Zhen, who closed his eyes and recuperated, "The big shopkeeper, can you eat candied fruit?" The small one I bought yesterday and tastes good. ”

Jin Yu opened his eyes and saw the playful and flattering look on her face, rarely stretched out his hand and took one and put it in his mouth, and then continued to close his eyes and recuperate, Qu Xiaomo said with a smile: "I heard that the candied fruit in this shop is the best in the whole Feng County, and the small one tasted it well, so I bought some to eat when I was bored on the road." ”

Saying that, he sat back in his place and said: "I heard the shopkeeper say that this candied fruit is pickled by himself, and the recipe used is confidential, and there are a lot of delicious snacks in the store, and the small ones also bought some pastries, melon seeds, and crispy balls. ”

Chewing two bites of a candied fruit, he quietly raised his eyes to look at the golden sting, but he didn't see any reaction, so he retracted back into the corner and lifted the curtains while eating, looking at the scenery outside the window.

To say that although the road is not a smooth official road, but the scenery outside is still good, it is already a hot summer, and in another month or two it will be the autumn harvest, the forest is densely foliage, there are many wild flowers on the roadside, and occasionally when you stop, you can fold one or two flowers to smell the fragrance of the carriage, at first Qu Xiaomo just folded it to enjoy himself, and then saw that he didn't say much when he saw that he took it into the car, and he was bold, and he would get one or two branches in the carriage when he rested.

In these days, she also figured out a little bit of the temper of this ice cube golden sting, as long as there is no physical contact and does not step on his minefield, she can jump at will, understanding this, Qu Xiaomo is also quite relaxed.

After walking for another five days, when they woke up early in the morning, the group had not gone far before the wind began to blow and thunder, and after a while, the downpour swarmed, Qu Xiaomo who was sitting in the carriage was better, and there was no need to get drenched in the rain, and Jin Thirteen on horseback and several of them wore the robes and hats that had been prepared long ago, and at a glance they knew that they were people who often walked outside.

But the rain was too heavy, and after walking for an hour against the wind and rain, Jin Yu ordered to stop, found a forest to shelter from the rain, and listened to the thunder in the sky and the crackling lightning coming down, Qu Xiaomo shrank in the corner of the carriage in fear, what she was most afraid of was this kind of weather and this kind of thunder.

Jin Zhen looked at her white face, pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just picked up the blanket on the side and threw it over, and said, "Don't get caught in the cold." "A big man is afraid of thunder, and he has nothing more to say.

Qu Xiaomo removed the blanket that flew to cover his head, wrapped it unceremoniously, looked up and pulled out a light smile at him, and said, "Thank you, big shopkeeper." ”

Jin Zhen glanced at her, but didn't say anything more.

The heavy rain continued to fall until the night was very unstoppable, because the rain could not make a fire, everyone gnawed on the steamed buns that had been put for two or three days, Qu Xiaomo was no exception, but she couldn't eat half of it, the steamed buns were well preserved, there was no sour smell, but it was too dry, and I felt like cutting my throat when I went down the water.

Thinking of the pastries he bought, he simply turned them out and ate them, so naturally he had to honor his master first.
