Soon, the old lady brought two bowls of rice and a few side dishes and put them on the table.
"I'm sorry for you, mother-in-law." Ding Guoguo smiled and thanked him.
The old lady even said that it should be, urging them to eat quickly.
Ding Guoguo picked up a grain of rice with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and tried the three side dishes on the table in turn. Only then did she raise her eyes to look at the old lady, smile and praise, "Mother-in-law, your cooking skills are really good." “
"What a cook! It's just cooked randomly, the girl laughed. The old lady smiled and said, "There is also soup, I will serve it to you." “
Ding Guoguo watched her go out with a smile, turned his head and nodded to Nangong Li. It's not that she is too careful, as the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable.
Nangong Li picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp.
Ding Guoguo finished eating a bowl of rice and added another bowl to eat, then put down the chopsticks, took the soup bowl handed by the old lady, and drank a bowl of soup.
Nangong Li was obviously hungry, so she ate four bowls of rice in a row and drank two bowls of soup before putting down her chopsticks.
After sitting for a while and talking to the old lady, Ding Guoguo and Nangong Li got up to say goodbye.
The old man, who had disappeared since the killing of the chickens, appeared at this time, and enthusiastically wanted to send them out of the mountain.
Ding Guoguo smiled and did not refuse.
"Keep following the bend of the road, walk for half a day, and you will be able to go out of the mountain."
After walking for a long time, the old man stopped, pointed to the mountain road, and said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, this money is a little bit of our heart, please be sure to accept it." Ding Guoguo took out a handful of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
The old man refused to accept it at first, but when he saw that she insisted on giving, he accepted it. After admonishing them again, he went back the way he came.
Ding Guoguo kept looking at his back, but when he couldn't see it, he went on the road.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Li saw her take a few steps and was about to look back, he couldn't help but wonder.
"With your current strength, how many people can you deal with?" Ding Guoguo didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
Nangong Lihu glanced at her suspiciously, "If you are ordinary, there should be no problem with ten people." “
"Then let's go into the woods." Ding Guoguo said, and without waiting for him to answer, he went directly down the road, through a low bush, and into the woods.
Nangong Li followed her into the woods, and after sitting down beside her, she asked again, "What the hell is wrong?" “
"You'll find out later." Ding Guoguo blinked and said with a smile.
Nangong Li raised her eyebrows, seeing that she was leaning against the trunk of the tree with her eyes closed, she didn't plan to speak again. He couldn't, so he could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
In less than a moment, the sound of horses' hooves galloped from far and near.
Nangong Li's face changed, and he grabbed the hilt of the sword with his left hand and looked at the side of the road.
Ding Guoguo hurriedly held his hand and shook his head at him.
Nangong Li glanced at her and let go of her hand.
There were seven or eight men, all of them with swords hanging from their waists, and they flashed in front of them.
"How did you find out that there was something wrong with those two?" When the others were far away, Nangong Li asked.
"Hands. No matter how much they are maintained, the hands of the elderly cannot be the same as those of middle-aged people. And if it is really a mountain and wild family, even if you are not surprised to see the person wearing the sword on your waist, you can't help but look at it twice. Not only did they not look at it, but they deliberately pretended not to see it. Ding Guoguo explained.
After Nangong Li lowered her head and thought about it, she raised her eyes to look at her and said with a smile, "You are very smart!" I didn't even notice it, but you did. “
Ding Guoguo smiled slightly, "It's up to you later." “
Nangong Li nodded.
After another half an hour or so, the group of people came back cursing all the way.
When Nangong Li waited for their horses to gallop past them, one of them flew and rushed among them, swinging his sword and knocking down one first.
The group was taken aback at first, but immediately shouted and struck back with their knives.
Ding Guoguo didn't want to see it, but she was worried about his safety, she covered her eyes with both hands, leaving only a slit to watch him dodge forward and back, and someone died wherever Jian Wushenghua went.
"Retreat!"
At the sound of an order, several people who were still alive immediately whipped their horses, ignoring even their companions, and hurriedly fled.
Ding Guoguo waited for Nangong Li to kill the remaining two, and then ran out of the forest.
Nangong Li's face and clothes were covered with blood, and he didn't wipe it, he quickly put his sword into the sheath, and pulled his legs to chase the frightened horse.
Ding Guoguo looked at the dead bodies on the ground, frowned and rummaged through their clothes.
"Only one horse was recovered." Soon, Nangong Li came back with a horse with mixed coats.
"I'll ride." Ding Guoguo reached out and took the reins of the horse in his hand, turned over on the horse, and stretched out his hand to him.
Nangong Li grabbed her hand, borrowed slightly, and flew to sit behind her.
"Hold on!" After Ding Guoguo finished speaking, he clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to gallop away. The sun had already reached the west, and it was too late to stay in the town more than fifty miles away.
Galloping all the way, stepping on the starlight, they arrived at the town where they were staying. The horse carried two people and ran for more than fifty miles, but at this time it could not support it, and fell to its knees, unable to get up.
Ding Guoguo didn't care about it, threw the reins of the horse, and walked into the town with Nangong Li.
The town is too small, there is only one inn, and only one empty room remains.
Ding Guoguo paid the deposit and wanted to eat, so he went upstairs with Nangong Li and entered the room.
"I'm going to freshen up first, can you wait outside?" Wait until I'm done washing, and then I'll change you. Ding Guoguo put the package on the table and looked at Nangong Li who was standing at the door.
Nangong Li was silent, turned around and went out.
In the hot summer, I haven't taken a shower for two days, and my clothes are stuck to my body, and I smell sour. Ding Guoguo and the others sent hot water from the bath bucket, took a good bath, and changed into clean clothes.
"I'll ask the store to change the water for you, you wait." Ding Guoguo opened the door and said to Nangong Li, who was standing outside.
"No need." Nangong Li entered the room and closed the door without waiting for her to speak.
The words that Ding Guoguo wanted to say were stuck in his throat, since he didn't dislike using the water she used, what else could she say. She went downstairs, went to the counter and asked the shopkeeper for a quilt, and went back upstairs to wait.
Nangong Li washed quickly, opened the door to see the quilt she was holding, raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, didn't say anything, and let her in.
Ding Guoguo spread the quilt on the ground next to the bed, wrapped it as a pillow, and was about to lie down.
Nangong Li's face was cold, "Are you insulting me?" ”
"Nope. It's too hot, and it's cool on the ground. Ding Guoguo avoided his gaze and lay down.
Nangong Li pulled her up and pressed her to the bed, seeing her struggling, he said angrily, "No matter how hungry I am, I won't force others." Given two options, you either sleep in bed or sleep outside! ”
Seeing that he was angry, Ding Guoguo went to bed and lay down facing the wall.
Nangong Li snorted coldly, got into bed, waved his palm to extinguish the oil lamp on the table, and lay down.
Ding Guoguo was on his side, lying motionless.
Nangong Li quickly fell asleep and snored slightly.
Ding Guo turned over slightly, stretched out his hand and swung above his face a few times, but he didn't have a little reaction, he should have really fallen asleep.
The room was quiet, except for the faint sound of his breathing.
I haven't slept well for two nights, Ding Guoguo is really tired, she looked at his side face in a distraught mood, and slowly closed her eyes.
