Chapter 33: Joy in Suffering

After this stubble, no one mentioned the matter of picking horses again the next day.

Ji Fan, who was thinking of staying for another day, saw that they were really not interested in stopping here, so they also compromised and went on the road.

Only Ji Fan thought about buying a few big bags of cooking cakes before leaving, and asked everyone to fill their own bags with water.

Speaking of the next place to settle down is far away, because there is no very suitable environment for people to live within a radius of 100 miles, at most one or two small villages will pass, and there will not be too many people.

Before leaving the city, Ji Fan remembered something important.

The outfits of several people are actually extremely eye-catching, only Ji Fan is dressed relatively plainly, although Cheng Hu Buwan is not very fancy, but when he looks at his outfit, he knows that he is a rich child, not to mention Yin Qinglan, even if he chooses the most plain dress in the cabinet, he is full of noble femininity.

"We're still going to have to change our outfits."

The road is far away, so it's better not to be targeted, and more is better than less.

Several people knew it, only Yin Qinglan was suspicious, she didn't quite understand, shouldn't it be more convenient to be dressed in luxury, why do you have to change?

But she only didn't ask, maybe because she trusted Ji Fan.

went to the shop to exchange clothes, and exchanged this luxurious dress for simple clothes, and the store was naturally happy to trade.

This is considered to be a good point, and finally it is out of the city.

Buwan didn't change her shoes, because the brocade boots had been with her for a long time, and every time she rode the scarlet Buwan, she had to change it.

is plain but wears a pair of brocade boots, which are weird needless to say, but she insists on not changing, and they can't force it.

……

"Hungry?" I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know if I was tired or what, but no one spoke, or Ji Fan mentioned it first.

Bu Wan was not polite, reached out and took out two cooking cakes, and handed Cheng Hu one.

Yin Qinglan hesitated for a long time, and also took the cooking cake handed over by Ji Fan, took a small bite and chewed it for a long time, and the next bite was even smaller.

Buwan glanced at her, "Can't get used to eating?" I'm not used to eating, but I can't go hungry for myself. ”

Yin Qinglan nodded, and reluctantly ate half of it before she stopped eating.

It's just that Ji Fan looks like he is delicious, and Cheng Hu doesn't feel that he swallows it heavily, and when he goes outside, as a man, he can't be hypocritical and let the woman see the joke.

"How far is it?" Cheng Hu has been silent for a long time, he is not a person who talks much, he only followed Bu Wan to be poor for two sentences before, and he is not familiar with where to go out of the imperial city, so he has a little less confidence, and he is even more reluctant to speak.

Listening to this seemingly insistent question, Ji Fan hooked the corners of his lips in a good mood, "It doesn't matter where you go, the process of walking this way is worth savoring." Chewing and swallowing the last bite of the cake, "Besides, where is this?" The words were asked too early. ”

So why did he be dragged out to walk with him, Cheng Hu was surprised.

Now it is unitary time, the sky is getting dark, and there is no sheltered forest under the wind, only a few weeds and endless dull yellow sand.

The sky was rolling red, a little purple, hidden and yellow, cloudless and skyless, the four of them sat next to each other, looking at the sky. This was the first time they had looked at the sky so carefully, and this was the first time Ji Fan had gathered with someone to look at the sky together.

lit the fire, and several people quickly fell asleep with the tiredness of being warm, but Ji Fan also added some hay picked up from all over the fire from time to time, and sat quietly and listened to the fire "crackling".

The wind came in the night, blowing the fire louder again, and no one knew what Ji Fan was pondering, and his expression was indistinguishable.

Xu Shi also saw that his eyes were dry and astringent, and he finally closed his eyes and refreshed his mind, but it didn't seem to be sleeping at all, it was more like meditating, maybe the slightest movement would make him wake up immediately.

……

The three of them slept very soundly that night, and for some reason, they were still uncomfortable in the inn, but when they went outside, they were more likely to fall asleep and were extremely heavy.

And although Ji Fan can't talk about incense, he also feels very energetic, maybe because he is used to this, not only this night, but also as usual, light sleep, short sleep, and erection of precautions everywhere in the Quartet.

Yes, he never let his guard off, maybe there was nothing to guard against, well, he was used to it.

The one who woke up earlier was Bu Wan, and together he saw Ji Fan sitting there, there was a burnt black trail in front of him, and there were a few wisps of light smoke, which looked like it had just been extinguished.

"You sat all night?" Worried that the two of them had not woken up, Bu Wan lowered his voice.

I don't know why, Bu Wan just felt that he had been sitting like this and had not moved, maybe he was sitting too steadily.

Ji Fan didn't reply positively, "I fell asleep and just woke up." ”

"Oh." Buwan got up, pounced on the soil and grass clippings on his body, stretched his waist, and looked up at the sky, it was still fine.

The next one to wake up was Cheng Hu, who had seen Bu Wan's spiritual head in the imperial city, and he had even more of a mention in the past two days, so it was not surprising that she woke up to him, "Brother Ji, you also like to get up early?" ”

There was a hint of ambiguity and haze in his words, and at first glance, he had not yet woken up, and it seemed that he was just asking casually, and he was not expecting a reply.

In the fog, he crawled to his own little black edge, lightly took out the water bladder, took a little water to clean his face, and did not forget to shake it, and it was heavy, so he put it back with confidence.

The first time I saw him like this, Bu Wan smiled mercilessly, Cheng Hu, who was already completely sober, was angry and helpless, he was unwilling to think about the embarrassing side of this girl, he was confused in the morning but there was no way.

And Ji Fan just sat where he was and watched them, still unmoved, still not knowing what he was thinking.

Only the dark brown eyes moved everywhere to make people feel that he was not asleep with his eyes still open.

Occasionally, he would glance at Yin Qinglan, who was sleeping, even if he was asleep, his movements were very restrained, his hands were folded on his abdomen, his breath was even, and his sleeping posture was very upright, exactly the same as his standing posture, only the direction changed.

Walking Cheng Hu picked up neatly one after another, and she woke up leisurely, looking really tired, and now it was just one moment.

In the morning, there are still those cooking cakes waiting for the four of them, and the cooking cakes that have been put overnight are becoming more and more difficult to gnaw, but Ji Fan gnawed the most, and Cheng Hu also followed the strength of eating, Bu Wan barely nibbled one, but Yin Qinglan ate less than yesterday.

Naturally, the rest will be sent by Ji Fan.

I have nourished my spirit and welcomed a new day's journey.

If it may sound strange to others, but before you know it, all four of you are engaged in this journey, or you will smile when you look back on this period many years later.

But now, no one laughs.

Kindness...... Probably because they're in trouble.

After nearly an hour and a half, they were already quite far away from the place where they had just rested, and then, a few people were really targeted as Ji Fan expected.

Needless to say, the brocade boots that Buwan has not replaced are self-containing, not to mention this, just two BMWs and two flower-like girls are enough for a few thieves.
