Chapter Ninety-Three: Do You Need a Cotton Towel?
A coarse cloth gown, a pair of legging trousers, a pair of lace-up cloth shoes, and a coarse cloth towel around the head.
Although this person had changed his clothes and was still sticking some beard, I still recognized it at a glance just by looking at the smiling peach blossom eyes.
Imperial brother, Xuanyuan Chen!
There are a lot of things to do when I go to the frontier, and I came out overnight because I was afraid that this person would be known by too many people and cause trouble.
Before leaving, I deliberately diverted the secret guard he had placed in the county lord's mansion, and it was said that he should have only known the news of my trip to the frontier tomorrow morning, and he followed him all the way.
It seems that there should still be his eyes in the county lord's mansion......
He raised his head and took another sip of water, and said slowly, "You little girl, why did you run so fast, I chased all the way behind, and finally caught up with you." ”
I frowned slightly, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
He said naturally, "Of course I have to follow you, there is a gambling agreement between us, and before we decide whether we win or lose, I have to follow you all the time, and I have to follow you wherever you go." ”
I was a little amused, "But I didn't make the promise." ”
He didn't care, and said, "Anyway, the token is already in my hands, and even if the gambling contract is completed, you can't go back on it." ”
Hey, this guy is really ...... What is good about him?
I couldn't think of a word to describe it for a while, so I just said, "I have something to do when I go out to the frontier this time, let's talk about the gambling contract later, you go back first." ”
He nodded and said, "Then do your business, don't delay, you are still a little girl, in the barren mountains and mountains, what if a big wolf or black bear suddenly pops up, I have to follow you all the time, and I can take care of you." ”
I was a little angry, but I still said patiently, "I don't need you to take care of me, I can take care of myself." ”
I have already arranged the itinerary of the flying pigeon biography, and there are more people, but it is troublesome.
Xuanyuan Chen seemed to think about it carefully, and then nodded and said, "I think what you said makes some sense." ”
I nodded to myself, took the hydration bag back, and screwed the lid. This guy is okay, not too difficult.
He continued, "So be it, you take care of yourself, I take care of you, well, it's decided." ”
After speaking, he got up and threw off the ashes on his body, led the horse and was about to jump up, and when he turned around and saw that I had not moved, he asked with a little doubt, "Little girl, why don't you go, you came out overnight, aren't you in a hurry?" ”
I think his head is a little big, but looking at it like this, he is determined to follow.
Anyway, this section of the road is an official road, and there are uninhabited forest areas within a hundred miles, so if he wants to follow, follow first, wait until the front, and find a way to get rid of him.
I didn't want to say anything about it, but the horses had already eaten grass, so I took off the reins of the horse, turned over, snapped the horse's rumps, and got up.
From Xiqi Shengjing to the frontier, it takes seven days to travel, and the physical strength and speed of the sweaty horse are stronger than the usual running horse, and it takes five days to rush away.
After coming out of the Shengjing and running out of the official road, and out of three more cities and walking to the official road, it was already the evening of the next day.
I slowed down my horse slightly, and when I was about to reach the middle of the official road, I saw a bright red lantern in front of me, and when I got closer, I saw the word inn written on the lantern.
I quickened my horse and walked over, and as soon as I arrived at the door, a small servant came over, and greeted politely, "Guest officer, please come inside, take a break." ”
I threw the leash directly at him, "Feed him good horse feed, brush him." ”
"Okay!" The little guy responded, I walked into the lobby, walked to the counter, and before I could speak, the store spoke first, the guest officer, hello, do you want to stay in the room or stay in the hotel? ”
I took out a piece of broken silver, and before I could give it, Xuanyuan Chen threw a silver ingot over, "Boss, the two upper rooms should be quiet and have windows and good ventilation, it is best to be next to each other, if not, it is okay to face the door." ”
"Okay, wait, guest." The shopkeeper smiled, put away the silver, and began to flip through the register, he flipped through a few times, and said with a very regretful face, "I'm sorry for this guest officer, the little old man went out to do business today, and he just came back and didn't know the market. ”
Xuanyuan Chen nodded and said, "It's okay, then one upper room, one ordinary, I can live anywhere." ”
The shopkeeper immediately said with a regretful face, "This ...... I'm sorry guest officer, there are no ordinary ones, there are a lot of people today, catch up with the son in the evening, and a team of horse gangs came, even the chase shop and the demolition house are crowded, this upper room, is the guest officer set before, and suddenly don't want it, or this is gone. ”
I frowned slightly, just how to live in one.
Xuanyuan Chen said, "If that's the case, we won't live for now, and I'll trouble you." ”
The shopkeeper is also a reasonable person, although he was reluctant, he hurried to return Xuanyuan Chen's silver. I remembered that the little man at the door had already helped feed the horses, so I gave the broken silver in my hand to the shopkeeper, who thanked us all the way to the door of the shop.
The two of us were just about to leave, but the wind picked up on a good night, and then a lightning bolt, a clattering thunder, and a torrential rain fell.
The rain fell so quickly that in a moment there was a deep water on the ground, and the sky was constantly thundering, and it seemed that the rain could not be stopped for a while.
"It's getting bigger and bigger, and it seems like I can't go." Xuanyuan Chen pulled me back a little to keep out the raindrops.
I forgot to glance out the door, and I was also slightly irritable. I can't go, and I can't stay in the hotel, which is a bit difficult......
The shopkeeper was also entangled, but his eyes soon lit up and he said, "Uh...... Two guest officers, Rong Xiao Lao'er has many words, the upper room of the store, the environment is very good, the four large windows in the house are transparent from north to south, clean and spacious, or ...... I'll add a floor shop for the two of you, and I'm adding a curtain, and the two guest officers will make do with it, and you'll ...... Will you spend the night in a small shop first? ”
Forehead...... That's not good......
Although the Xiqi folk style is open, it is not open enough to live under one roof.
Although, when I was a child, he often went to my room in the middle of the night, but at that time I was like bean sprouts, but now it is different, this body has grown up, and men and women are not kissed!
"Hey, boss, is there anything else?"
At this time, a person ran by the door in the wind and rain, and before the person arrived, the sound had already arrived.
The shopkeeper immediately said, "Two guest officers, there is only one room in this store, if you hesitate, this one is gone." ”
Xuanyuan Chen didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "Then let's do it, here, we want it!" ”
"Hey, okay, please upstairs, I'll prepare hot water for you right away." The shopkeeper looked happy and took the ingot of silver into his arms again.
I was embarrassed, my face was hot, and my heart was pounding wildly.
In the last life, even if I followed Baili Tianqi for so many years, the two of us had never been in the same room.
Now......
Xuanyuan Chen suddenly slowed down, put a face together, curled his lips and said with a smile, "Little girl, why are you blushing, are you a little nervous?" ”
I frowned slightly, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's hot in this house, I'm ...... I'm hot. ”
"Oh......" Xuanyuan Chen nodded a little knowingly, smiled a little, and pointed to my hand with endless banter in a pair of peach blossom eyes, "Then what are you doing with your fists, do you want to hit someone?" ”
Only then did I realize that I didn't know when I was clenching my fists, and my steps were very stiff, and it was like going to the execution ground step by step.
I can't help but be a little embarrassed, it's really more and more alive to go back, isn't it just to live in a hotel, besides, it's said that the floor is added, and it's not on a couch, I'm struggling with something.
Taking a deep breath, I strode upstairs.
"Two guest officers, here, this is the best one in the store, you two take a look, but you are still satisfied."
The shopkeeper ushered us to the door of the upper middle and pushed the door open.
As he said, the upper room is spacious and clean, the tables, chairs, bookshelves and ornaments in the room are all complete, there is a large screen on the right side, and behind it is an oversized round wooden barrel, which is prepared for bathing.
The two of us put our bags on the table, and the store brought a mattress and a few chairs.
He put a few chairs together, threw a thick cotton mattress on them, and set up a simple couch.
Ready, he brought dinner again.
The dishes of this dinner are good, three meat and one vegetable plus a soup, the two of us rushed for a day and a night, all drank water and ate beef jerky, at this time smelling the fragrance of the vegetables, all are appetizing, clean hands and sit at the table, like a whirlwind, after a while, the table and bowls are empty.
After eating, the servant had already prepared hot water and poured it into the vat behind the screen.
The road was full of dust and sweat, and it was time to take a bath.
It's just that......
I looked sideways at Xuanyuan Chen, and his eyes were shining at this time, as if they were ......
There is no intention of going out......
I had no choice but to say, "I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed." ”
He nodded earnestly, meaning to let me go quickly, and then sat leisurely at the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly tasted it.
I was a little embarrassed, and I turned around and said, "Otherwise, you bathe first, I'll go out for a spin, you're okay, I'll come back." ”
Xuanyuan Chen actually said, "No, it's better for you first, you are a girl, you prefer to be clean, I'll wait for you to get better." ”
After saying that, he took another sip of tea, enjoying the general half-squinting eyes.
I looked at him, and then at the screen.
The place where he sat was facing the screen, and the bucket was filled with hot water, and the heat was curling, and the screen was steaming a little......
It's a little transparent.
My face suddenly burned a little, and then my ears began to burn, in this case, how can I wash it.........
"Hahaha......" Xuanyuan Chen suddenly laughed at me, only then did I realize that his eyes were full of banter, this person was deliberately teasing me.
I was angry and said, "What are you laughing at, don't get out quickly!" ”
He wasn't annoyed, he got up slowly and walked to the door, then turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you need it, I'll give you the wind at the door?" I'm happy to help......"
I immediately said, "No, get out." ”
He nodded, opened the door and walked out. I breathed a sigh of relief, relieved my beating heart, and gently untied the brocade.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a head poked in from the outside, "Don't worry, you can soak slowly, I'll go out for a spin, I won't enter the house soon." ”
"Get out!" I was furious, took two steps over, closed the door tightly, then picked up the deadbolt, forked the door from the inside, and shook it twice to see that it was still firm, which was also relieved.
I ran to the window again, cleared the four windows, forked the forks, and made sure that no one would come in through the window, and then walked behind the screen.
I reached out and tried the hot water, it was lukewarm, the temperature was just right.
I noticed that the shop was very careful, and even prepared flower petals, so I reached out and raised the petals in the water.
After a long time, it must be quite comfortable to soak in a petal hot bath and sleep.
I felt tight, and I went into the big wooden barrel with a sigh of beauty, and as soon as I scooped up a scoop of hot water, I heard a faint sound from the door, which was very close to me.
"Little girl, do you need a cotton towel?"
Me: "......"
