Chapter Twenty-Three: Eat Wotou and Drink Soup
The servants of the rear vehicles gathered together and began to light a fire and cook with the help of the fire distributed by the nobles. Naturally, these foreign rangers were not so blessed, but the mistress saw them pitiful, and asked the servants to bring some torches.
The rangers happily stretched out their hands and patted their legs, shouted loudly, and gathered together noisily, temporarily set up a stove with mud and put the iron pot they took to start cooking, and the lively atmosphere also infected Xia Ji, and she smiled slightly in her eyebrows.
When the young ranger saw her smiling, he was slightly stunned and his ears turned red, but then his face became angry and annoyed, and he shouted: "You little white face, you dare to follow you without face and skin, and you are not afraid that the bandits will pick you up!" ”
Xia Ji smiled slightly, thinking that the bandits might be looking for her to take revenge, but now she wants to go to Chu State smoothly and must take this convoy, but she can't cause trouble.
Xia Ji nodded casually, the young ranger did seem to be deflated, and reached out and pulled Xia Ji's collar to pull Xia Ji up, but he didn't expect that instead of moving, he also stumbled a little, and the annoyance on his face was even better.
The young ranger saw that Xia Ji still didn't have the slightest intention of resisting, so he stepped forward to take a few kicks and let out his inexplicable anger, but before he got close, Xia Ji grabbed the ranger's ankle like a long eye, and made him fall with a force.
"Well done! Hit him! "It's not a big deal to watch the lively people, and they are coaxing around them, clapping their hands.
The ranger who fell on his heels seemed to be really aroused, and he drew his iron sword and was about to rush up. Who knows, Xia Ji had already pulled out the wooden sword and waited, looking at the ranger quietly, and the others were louder.
"Duh! You rabbit master just lie under the man, what kind of sword to draw! ”
"This is a sword, it's clearly a piece of wood!"
"Yes, yes, wood hahahaha......"
The group of people who usually laughed with the young ranger laughed at Xia Ji, and raised his eyebrows suggestively, scanning Xia Ji's lower body.
Xia Ji glanced back at them, his eyes were very calm, but the group of rangers who came into contact with Xia Ji's substantive eyes didn't think so, they hurriedly lowered their heads as if they had been stung by a scorpion, and didn't make a sound.
The people around didn't feel anything wrong, and urged the duel to start quickly.
The young man with the rusty sword heard the sounds of teasing, and naturally thought of that kind of place, and he didn't look at Xia Ji, his whole face turned red, and he pointed his sword at Xia Ji, and said in a slurred voice: "I...... I'm going to duel you! ”
Xia Ji is ridiculous now, she has never encountered such a scene, where is there a person who asks for a duel to challenge someone shyly?
"Hahaha! I kind of know why this kid is! Someone burst into laughter, not caring for the young man's face.
"What's going on? I look a little weird! Someone who was puzzled hurried over to find some fun to listen to.
"That's ...... ...... like this" The man gossiped and pulled his ears with another person, and there were a few people around him, and he didn't pay attention to the duel scene over there.
And here, Xia Ji looked at the young man and nodded to meet his challenge.
The young man held the rusty sword in both hands and slashed to Xia Ji's side, the action was so simple that Xia Ji could avoid the scene by standing in place and flashing, the young man continued to cut with great effort, Xia Ji looked at the young man with interesting interest, and easily hidden.
Then found a gap, and suddenly raised his fist Xia Ji hit the young man's waist, the young man was knocked to the ground, Xia Ji sat on his waist with a butt, patted his ass with a wooden sword, and asked, "Do you accept it?" ”
The young man's face turned even redder, he didn't speak for a long time, his hands struggled to grasp the soil, and he wanted to get up, but the Xia Ji on his back was as steady as a rock, and he still asked him: "Do you accept it?" ”
"If you don't accept it, sit until you accept it." Xia Ji said lightly, without any intention of getting up.
"Yes." The sound of mosquitoes murmuring through Xia Ji's eardrums, Xia Ji no longer embarrassed the young man, and stood up with both hands.
When the gossiping group of rangers turned around again, they saw the young man patting the soil on his body in embarrassment, and came over with a smile and bumped the young man's shoulder, and asked, "That kid has little strength for his thin skin and tender meat, did you release the water?" ”
"Don't mess with her!" The young man roared, then picked up the rusty sword on the ground and sat down directly next to Xia Ji.
The other people's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Nan, who was sitting next to Xia Ji with low eyebrows, and secretly cursed, and several people came together and muttered that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Xia Ji ignored the young man sitting beside him, and after a fight, the anger dispersed ten into ten, but he just looked up at the sky and frowned.
Nan noticed Xia Ji's expression, and his heart jumped: "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Ji subconsciously responded: "It's going to rain tomorrow." As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the young man beside him who was still a little red.
Xia Ji saw the shock in the young man's eyes, and before he could ask the reason, he was covered by the young man's lips, looked up nervously, and found that no one noticed here, so he let out a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.
Xia Ji looked at him with a smile, his eyes were full of doubts, and he quietly waited for the young man to answer him.
"It seems that you are not deeply involved in the world, but don't say anything like this kind of celestial phenomenon again, otherwise you will be regarded as a fallacy to confuse the public, and you will regret it." The young man carefully shook his palm, trying to hide his nervousness, and said softly in Xia Ji's ear.
"Isn't there anyone doing this? Otherwise, how would the people cultivate? Xia Ji deliberately used "these" instead, but his tone was still full of puzzlement.
"Some people do it, but they are all observed and concluded by contemporary university scholars, and then they issue edicts to inform the people." Nan didn't think much about the reason why Xia Ji didn't even know this kind of news, but he still kept his head down, not wanting Xia Ji to see his red cheeks.
Xia Ji nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case that the people in power had the people who watched the sky and ate in the farming era in the palm of their hands, but they still looked at the sky and frowned slightly.
Nan got up to leave, and when he came back, he had two bowls in his hand, the bowls were steaming, and he still had two nests on his chest, "Take... Take it. ”
Xia Ji came back to his senses and hurriedly took the bowl and wowotou from Nan's hand, which was porridge boiled from some wild vegetables and millet rice, which looked thick and mushy and full.
Nan sat next to Xia Ji, and ate it all without caring about the hot mouth, originally wanted to urge her to eat quickly, but I didn't know what she remembered, her face slowly turned red again, and she spoke: "I... My name is Nan. ”
"Hmm." Xia Ji took another sip of soup, the taste was really not good, but he didn't have much to complain about even the bark in the army, so he ate the nest in his hand.
Nan saw that Xia Ji ate so deliciously, and originally thought that she was a delicate woman, but could it be that her life was as bitter as that of ordinary people?
