Chapter 9: Sharing a Bed
"Ahh Cheng Wei was taken aback by him.
"Gu Xixuan? Are you awake? Cheng Wei slowed down, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.
"Hmm." Gu Xixuan responded hoarsely, he looked at Cheng Wei and let go of his wrist.
"Since you're awake, come yourself." Cheng Wei yawned sleepily, climbed into bed and rolled inside, and closed his eyes.
"I've been like this for the past few days?" Gu Xixuan sat up and wiped his sweat, and he glanced at the time on his wrist, three o'clock in the morning.
"Hmm." Cheng Wei put his hand on his eyes and said in a daze: "You go and blow the lamp, your eyes hurt ......"
Gu Xixuan turned his head to look at Cheng Wei, who was sleeping next to him, because of the hot weather, there was a thin layer of sweat floating on his forehead, which looked bright in the light.
Although Cheng Wei had no choice but to divide the bed in half, on the first night, this person took out a thin quilt and rolled it up and put it in the middle of the bed, pointing to the dividing line with a fierce face so that he was not allowed to cross the line.
Sleeping like this next to a quilt in the summer, even if you don't have a fever, you will be sweating all over your body. Gu Xixuan touched his forehead, turned over and got out of bed, rolled up the quilt in the middle of the bed and put it aside, blew out the oil lamp and lay back on the bed.
No wonder he has been in this world for so long, and he wakes up later than Cheng in the morning. In the darkness, Gu Xixuan's eyes were unusually clear, and he never felt that his alertness had decreased, but that the world was really assimilating him.
However, this assimilation is probably coming to an end for the time being, because in the morning, before Cheng moved, Gu Xixuan woke up.
"I'm going to town this morning, will you go?" Cheng Wei asked him while getting dressed, and he saw the quilt rolled up on the side, and he just glanced at it.
If Gu Xicheng wanted to do anything to him, let alone a quilt, even if he put a knife at the head of the bed, it would be useless. The key is that he slept with the quilt for a few nights, Gu Xixuan had a fever in the middle of the night, and his whole person was like a stove, and he was about to be covered with prickly heat.
"Hmm." Cheng Wei would ask him if he needed him to be a coolie.
In fact, Cheng Wei asked Gu Xixuan again if he wanted to keep the two little rabbits, and after getting the negative opinion, he brought them and prepared to take them to the town to sell, along with the snakeskin a few days ago.
"Brother Wei'er, when will you have a wedding wine!"
"Brother Wei'er, I'm just waiting to eat your candy!"
Because it was a market day, Cheng Wei, who took Gu Xigong, was teased all the way, but the hateful thing was that Gu Xicheng behind him actually bowed his head and asked him seriously when he was ridiculed: "When will you make wine for me?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter, and this person was so thick-skinned that he didn't have the depression and caution that a doorman should have.
His down-to-earth and generous appearance made a group of heckling people let him go, and Cheng Wei blushed all the way to the town to be relieved.
Gu Xixuan was very surprised to see it, he felt that Cheng Wei was marrying him...... There is a rare coldness in the matter of the contract, and he can even calmly discuss with him whether to do alcohol or not, and he blushes like this when he is said two words, tsk. The little look of trying to pretend not to care about it but actually wanting to bury your head in your chest makes your fingers tickle.
Gu Xixuan glanced at the sky, reached out and scratched his chin.
"Daddy Wei, these two rabbits are tired of you." Cheng Wei handed over the rabbit to him, and Wei Xiaopa brought out a basket of eggs and a few handfuls of vegetables, and there were two little rabbits next to him to attract some guests.
"Don't be so polite, Brother Wei, you go and get busy with you, I'll wait for you in the West Market after I'm done selling in a while." Daddy Wei waved his hand, got together with a few people of the same age, found an open space, and put things out.
"Let's go over there." Getting rid of a group of talkative and fun-loving little fathers, Cheng Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, he pointed in another direction, and walked towards that side quickly.
This time, Cheng Wei didn't carry Gu Xicheng on his back, his snake skin was sold for eighty yuan, and the man who bought the skin was already in his fifties, and he had dealt with him for half a year, so he was familiar with him.
"Brother Wei'er, this skin is rare and complete, you hunted it alone?" When he asked this, he glanced at Gu Xixuan intentionally or unintentionally, and immediately had some thoughts in his heart.
"I don't have the ability to do this, I was hunted by this person next to me. Two days ago, I signed a contract with him, and the official family divided the land and came down, and I am afraid that I will not be able to send skins in the future. Cheng Wei didn't know what he was thinking, it was nothing more than seeing Gu Xi's tall birth, and wanted him to come to the town and follow his hunting team up the mountain.
He had no land and was forced to go up the mountain to find food, but he didn't want Gu Xixuan to follow the path of Orion in the first place. Danger is not dangerous, but when he is old, the old hunter will not be able to do anything but explore the way. When the time comes, if there is some illness, the rest of your life will always be miserable.
The man was stunned, he didn't expect Cheng Wei to say this, and finally had to count the money and come out, and said, "Then congratulations." ”
Cheng Wei nodded, and led Gu Xixuan to the medicinal herb shop again, and there was a snake moult in his back basket. Speaking of which, he would be targeted by the snake that day, and he was also greedy, and after picking the half of the ginseng, he saw the snake hanging on it, so he put it in the back basket.
The ginseng has been around for an unknown number of years, growing like a tree on the edge of the cliff, originally guarding a colorful tiger, and the tiger never left an inch before Cheng went to it several times. That day, he turned by the road to see that the tiger was not there, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick a ginseng.
I didn't want to put the snake into the back basket, and such a big python jumped out on the side. Thinking that the tiger had either cultivated to perfection or had an accident, the ginseng had already changed to a guardian beast.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a complete snake molt, but you're lucky!" The shopkeeper of the herb shop couldn't help but admire the snake, and hurriedly asked the guy to take out a tael of silver.
"If you still have this quality in the future, just bring it, and I won't be short of you." The shopkeeper smiled, this poor country, one tael of silver is enough. Even if this snake is just taken to the county seat, it can be sold for dozens of taels.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Cheng Wei generously took the silver and dragged Gu Xixuan out of the door.
"Don't hit people," Cheng Wei looked at him and said with some unease: "We don't eat with this, let's lose some." ”
When the shopkeeper took out a tael of silver, he suddenly felt that Gu Xixuan's breath was not quite right. Although they didn't get along for a long time, he just subconsciously felt that this person was not in a good mood.
"Fool." Gu Xixuan paused, reached out and rubbed his head, and the black hair on his head instantly blushed the face of the person below.
"Gu Xixuan!" Cheng Wei slapped his hand away and glared at him angrily.
"Don't worry, I won't beat anyone." The person who had done something bad lowered his head slightly and winked at him with a pure face.
Don't dare to bring this person to town next time, Cheng Wei thought about it, and went to the West Market. This time, he mainly wanted to see if he could buy two little piglets to go back.
It's a pity that the piglets this time are not very good, and after reading a few of them, Cheng Wei feels that the piglets are a little thin. It seems that I have fallen in love with the chicken seller next to me, and there are fifteen in the cage, and each one is very happy.
Cheng Wei pinched the silver and hesitated.
"How do you sell your chicks?" Gu Xicheng on the side had already squatted down and gently knocked on the cage containing the chicks.
"Three pennies and two one, no two prices."
"So expensive?!" Cheng Wei snorted lightly, he remembered that his little father had also sold chickens before, and there were only a few copper plates at that time.
"This little brother looks like a housekeeper," the chicken seller is a little father, he glanced at Gu Xixuan, then turned to Cheng Wei and said with a smile: "My batch of seedlings was originally planned to be raised by myself, but this year's new tenant land, I was really too busy to endure the pain and sell it." You see, the hair of these wings is old. ”
"Brother, let's go to that house to see, this cage is not spiritual." Before the man's words fell, Gu Xixuan stood up and hugged Cheng Wei's shoulders intimately, looking like he was going to drag the person away.
Cheng Wei: ......!!! What did this man just call him?
"Whoa! My chicken cub is really bigger than the others, if you want it, you can say it! The little father who sold the chicken cubs was also taken aback by Gu Xixuan, and he hurriedly pulled the person back, and he was a little unable to come back to his senses.
Cheng Wei, who was stiff, was almost dragged away by Gu Xigong, he bent his elbow and gave the person next to him a hard blow, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't make trouble for me!" You, don't move! ”
