Chapter 021: Not Bitter

"Can't ride a horse?"

Lu Qing looked at Xu Jinxiu a little strangely.

In this world, martial arts are prosperous, and horseback riding is a must-have skill for almost everyone.

"I... I once fell off when I was learning to ride a horse, and I haven't ridden since. ”

Xu Jinxiu explained in a low voice embarrassedly.

"Oh."

Lu Qing nodded, and then wondered: "Then what should I do now?" ”

It stands to reason that he should hold Xu Jinxiu now and share a horse with him, but Xu Jinxiu has just encountered the Ma Yin incident, and he is afraid that he is very resistant to this kind of behavior.

Xu Jinxiu was obviously also worried about this, sometimes looking at Lu Qing, sometimes lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.

"Forget it, why don't I teach you how to ride a horse first."

Lu Qing was helpless, so he had to say: "Actually, it's not difficult to learn to ride a horse. ”

"But ......"

Xu Jinxiu looked at the sky and said, "When I learn to ride a horse, will it be a little late?" ”

"There's no way around that, I'll just spend the night in the wilderness."

Lu Qing shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Xu Jinxiu's face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't feel at ease if she stayed overnight in the wild and didn't say that she would be attacked by wild beasts, even if she was alone with Lu Qing.

In case Lu Qing and Ma Yin suddenly became animalistic, then she would call the heavens and the earth unspiritual.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinxiu gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Darttou, it's better for you to share a horse with me, it's important to hurry." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Qing glanced at Xu Jinxiu, and after a little thought, he understood Xu Jinxiu's thoughts.

To be honest, although he could understand Xu Jinxiu's caution, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, took a deep breath, put aside the distractions in his heart, and said lightly: "Okay, then I'll help Miss Xu get on the horse first." ”

"Thank you."

Xu Jinxiu could also see that Lu Qing seemed to be in some emotion, so she had to respond in embarrassment and low voice.

With Lu Qing's support, Xu Jinxiu clumsily mounted the horse, grabbed the reins with both hands, and his body was close to the front half of the saddle, not daring to move.

Lu Qing led the other horse with one hand, reached out and pressed it on the saddle, and jumped behind Xu Jinxiu.

He leaned back as much as possible to avoid physical contact with Xu Jinxiu, and then his right hand swept over Xu Jinxiu's slender waist, grabbed the reins, and said, "Miss Xu, sit tight." ”

"Hmm."

Feeling the burst of manly breath coming from behind him, Xu Jinxiu only felt that her body was hot, and her cheeks were flushed.

is different from being forcibly held by Ma Yin, who was also held by Lu Qingxu, but Xu Jinxiu felt safe.

Lu Qing naturally didn't know Xu Jinxiu's thoughts, he gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the two horses suddenly galloped.

At the beginning, Xu Jinxiu could still stretch her body and keep herself from making contact with Lu Qing, but slowly, as she ran for a long time, her strength decreased, and she finally leaned on Lu Qing's chest.

Later, seeing that Lu Qing always adhered to etiquette and did not have any intention of taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Jinxiu finally let go of his heart completely.

The stimulation she received today was already great, and with this relaxation of her spirit, her body suddenly lost her strength, and finally she could almost be said to be snuggled in Lu Qing's arms.

In order to prevent her from falling, Lu Qing had no choice but to clamp her delicate body with her arms to make her sit more stable.

Although Xu Jinxiu was shy, she also knew that Lu Qing had no malicious intentions, so she blushed and let it go.

……

After about an hour, the two finally arrived at a town before dark.

Lu Qing asked for two rooms in the shopkeeper - this time he was in charge, Lu Qing naturally did not treat himself badly - he and Xu Jinxiu both lived in the first-class room.

"Miss Xu, I have experienced a lot of things today, rest early at night, and I have to hurry tomorrow morning."

While having dinner, Lu Qing said to Xu Jinxiu.

"Lu Darttou, Xiaocui, she ...... Is it really dead? ”

Xu Jinxiu asked with red eyes.

When she was on the way, Lu Qing had already informed her of Xiaocui's death, but she didn't want to believe it.

"Well, in order to preserve her innocence, she chose to commit suicide."

Lu Qing said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xu Jinxiu's expression became more and more sad, and she sobbed in a low voice.

Lu Qing didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to remain silent.

After dinner, Lu Qing sent Xu Jinxiu back to the room, and he went back to the room to practice for a while before going to bed.

Early the next morning.

After Lu Qing got up, he came to knock on Xu Jinxiu's door, but no one answered after knocking several times in a row.

Lu Qing was in a hurry, thinking that something had happened to Xu Jinxiu, so he hurriedly slammed the door open and came in.

When he came indoors, Lu Qing found that Xu Jinxiu was not in an accident, but her eyes were closed, her face flushed and she was lying on the bed, and she had lost consciousness.

Lu Qing was startled, and she didn't care about the defense of men and women, so she pulled her hand out from under the quilt to check her pulse.

After all, he had studied Bai Ruogu's medical skills, and although he was still inexperienced, he already knew some basic diseases.

After a while, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, he had already judged that Xu Jinxiu was fine, but the stimulation he received yesterday was too great, and he was in a hurry, so he passed out.

Calling the shopkeeper, Lu Qing asked him to go to the pharmacy to grab a few flavors of medicine, and then boiled up in Xu Jinxiu's room.

After about half an hour, just when the medicinal soup was about to boil, Xu Jinxiu also woke up slowly.

When he saw that there was a figure in the room, Xu Jinxiu was taken aback, and was about to scream, when he saw that it was Lu Qing.

"Miss Xu, you're sick."

Lu Qing explained: "I knocked on your door in the morning, and when I saw that you hadn't answered, I came in. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jinxiu also felt that her whole body was sore, and after feeling it carefully, she found that her body had no signs of being violated, and then she was embarrassed to say: "Lu Darttou, thank you so much." ”

Lu Qing shook his head and didn't say anything, just when the decoction was boiled, he asked: "Miss Xu, how is your health, if you can, I will go out, you can dress yourself and drink this medicine while it is hot." ”

Xu Jinxiu used his strength, found that he couldn't move at all, his face was blushing, and he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Lu Darttou, I'm ...... I can't get up. ”

"It's okay, then don't move, I'll feed you."

Lu Qing also expected this from her pulse, so she put the medicinal soup in a bowl, sat on the edge of the bed, and then used a spoon to blow the medicine cold and send it to Xu Jinxiu's mouth.

Xu Jinxiu took a sip of the medicine, looked at Lu Qing's serious expression, and felt in a trance that it seemed good to have such an illness.

After a while, Xu Jinxiu drank the medicinal soup under Lu Qing's care.

"Miss Xu, you are very powerful."

Lu Qing suddenly smiled.

"What?"

Xu Jinxiu asked strangely.

"I mean, the medicine I just boiled is called 'Sanhua Fresh Bamboo Liquid', and the effect is to strengthen the spirit and reduce fire, which is very good for Miss Xu's symptoms, but the only drawback is that this medicine is very bitter, but looking at Miss Xu's appearance, you don't even feel it at all."

Lu Qing explained with a smile.

Hearing Lu Qing say this, Xu Jinxiu's delicate cheeks flushed slightly, and she was embarrassed to say that she was almost distracted the whole time just now, and she didn't pay attention to whether the medicine was bitter or not.

"Okay, go down with this medicine, and you will be able to recover in a while, Miss Xu."

Lu Qing got up and said: "Actually, it's time for you to get this illness now - we don't have to be busy in the afternoon, I'll teach Miss Xu how to ride a horse, so that tomorrow we can have one horse per person, and we can travel faster." ”

Hearing Lu Qing say that he wanted to teach himself to ride a horse, Xu Jinxiu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and he responded sullenly and agreed.
