Chapter 65: Coldness
"Let's go!"
Early the next morning, the sky cleared, and it was a rare and refreshing weather. As soon as Huo Jing took the black armor guard to the sky, he took advantage of the refreshing weather to set off, and Lu Weimang also rubbed his eyes to follow.
It was rare to sleep in the house last night, and this was the best and most fragrant day she slept in the past ten days.
However, I don't know if it's her illusion, I always feel that Huo Jing's face doesn't seem to be good today. "Did you get wet in the rain yesterday and feel unwell?" Lu Weimang guessed.
Taking advantage of this rare weather, Huo Jing marched with people all day long, and even compressed the lunch and rest time to half an hour. There was no rest in the afternoon, and in the afternoon, for seven hours, I finally saw the traces of the plain before it was dark.
They finally came out of the jungle.
After walking for a while, after finding the water source, they buried the pot and made rice, and everyone rested in place.
Lu Weimang is a very alert person. She noticed that Huo Jing's aura on his body today seemed to be a little close to people, so she observed from afar. At the end of the day, they didn't say a word, and Lu Weimang finally determined that Huo Jing seemed to be really in a bad mood, and his bad mood was related to himself.
Aware of this, when Lu Weimang faced his feelings, the characteristics of the stupid roe deer attacked, and he began to dodge more and more.
She has never dealt with emotional matters. In her previous life, she had smooth sailing in her studies and career, but for her feelings, she seemed to be missing that tendon.
It's like she always remembers her mother's arms when she was five or six years old, when she had a rash. How she longed to get it again, but after more than 20 years and more than 7,300 days, she never got it again, and she never told anyone about this deep thought.
In the face of her mother, she is still so clumsy, so stubborn, let alone to others.
In the face of her feelings, she lacks confidence and courage. With such a temperament, there is no way.
So after Lu Weimang ate, he found a corner to sleep on. Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang's curled up figure, sleeping sweetly, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"How can there be such a heartless person in this world, but let yourself meet it again!"
Huo Jing almost wanted to take the cloak in his hand and take it away, or throw it at her casually. But he couldn't help but make a simple bed, carefully carried her over, and carefully covered her belly.
"Young master, if you can't do it, just talk to Little Lady Lu, you are so sulking, she doesn't know."
Huo Jing snorted coldly, "She doesn't know? She is stupid and has a big heart, but she is more sensitive than anyone else. Believe it or not, I told her one moment, and the next moment she dared to draw a line with me! ”
After saying that, he stepped aside angrily.
Ding Yi came over and patted his companion, "Don't give the young master ideas in the future." The bandit young master can be solved in just two years, so don't you know how difficult this little lady Lu is? ”
Lin Chen suddenly patted Ding Yi on the shoulder, "You can still see it clearly." ”
When they arrived in Qionglai, there was still a tacit understanding between Lu Weimang and Huo Jing to keep their distance. In other words, it was Lu Weimang who unilaterally kept his distance, and Huo Jing did not look for a chance to break the ice, but went with the flow.
But the two of them were awkward, but it made Lin Chen and Ding Yi cry bitterly, looking at the two of them who entered the largest inn in Qionglai one after the other, but didn't say a word all day, they had a headache, "Ding Yi, you usually have an idea, let's think of a way now, I watched Little Lady Lu become more and more calm day by day, but the face of our young master is getting uglier and uglier day by day." It's not a problem to go on like this. ”
Ding Yi's face was also tense at this time, "In the past few days, the young master has become more and more strict, and neither of us can escape." It seems that this little lady Lu is not much stronger than a stone, she can pretend to be stupid, she doesn't listen or watch, our young master can't bear it. ”
Huo Jing in front of him was deaf and clear-sighted, and when he heard the two of them discussing, he shouted, "If you have nothing to do, go to the street to inquire about the news." After speaking, he glanced at Lu Weimang on the side.
Lu Weimang and Huo Jing looked at each other, it was difficult to hide anymore, and only stretched out one hand to point at himself, "Do I want to go too?" ”
After speaking, seeing that Huo Jing's face was even heavier, he hurriedly rushed out of the inn, "I'll go with Brother Lin and Brother Ding." ”
Lin Chen Ding Yi had a bitter face, but Lu Weimang beside him looked at ease.
Finally arrived at the first destination, she was in a good mood, touching here, looking there, heartless appearance, let Lin Chen Ding Yi grit his teeth.
Lin Chen couldn't help but shout to Lu Weimang, "Young master, these days..."
"Wow, this pastry looks delicious." Lu Weimang picked up the pastries from a stall on the side of the road and sent them to his mouth, eating them while asking the stall owner to weigh himself a catty.
Lin Chen and Ding Yi were behind her, looking at each other, "Did she do it on purpose?" Lin Chen was a little angry. Ding Yi shook his head, "Forget it, don't interject, go back and let the young master know, it's another reprimand." ”
Along the way, Lu Weimang was shocked, buy here, look there, full of local tyrants. In addition, there are two "followers" with extraordinary bearing, so that this small Qionglai commercial street instantly knows that there is a high-roller from other places who has arrived in Qionglai.
Lu Weimang came to Qionglai with great difficulty, one is to assist Huo Jing in setting up a card, and the other is to expand the trade route, and it is best to control the trade route in his hands. Of course, it is not easy for her to rely on herself, but it is actually relatively easy to rely on Huo Jing and His Majesty.
But no matter what you do, it is better to wait passively than to take the initiative, so Lu Weimang deliberately showed off his financial resources to attract some people to come to the door.
Therefore, when Ding Yi and Lin Chen returned to the inn again, they had already held a pile of various brocade boxes and brocades in their arms, and the harvest was full, while Lu Weimang came back lightly with a few bags of food.
Huo Jing was in the lobby of the inn at this time, and when he saw the embarrassed Lin Chen and Ding Yi, he glared at the two, the two lowered their heads to avoid their gaze, and Lu Weimang took the initiative to come forward to say hello, "Brother, this is a special pastry here in Qionglai, you can also try it, compared with the pastries we ate in Kyoto, it has a different flavor." ”
Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang, who was smiling in front of him, "Brother? ”
Lu Weimang's expression was calm, "Of course, brother, what's the matter, I just spent a little money, and you're angry?" ”
Huo Jing smiled angrily, "Of course I'm angry, is there anything like you?" Knowing that I would be angry, he went his own way, without any regard for my feelings. We came here this time because we had something to do, not to make you feel awkward. You're sensible, okay? ”
Lu Weimang was depressed, and always felt that Huo Jing had seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to reprimand. However, I still have to act and act in a full set, and my character as a local tyrant who is not bad at Miss Qian must stand. So Lu Weimang stepped forward, hugged Huo Jing's arm, and flicked it to admit his mistake to him, "Brother, am I wrong?" Starting tomorrow, I promise not to be greedy for fun, and I will listen to you in everything, okay? Besides, I really just spent a few small dollars, but only a few hundred taels, and I used my own pocket money. ”
The inn has always been a well-informed place, and many people have pricked up their ears from time to time to inquire about the news. At this time, I heard that the eldest lady spent a few hundred taels in half a day, and said that it was all her own pocket money, and everyone's eyes were bright and bright, and they had their own thoughts.
Huo Jing was a little uncomfortable, it was the first time he was held by Lu Weimang's arm so naturally, shaking and shaking, although he knew that Lu Weimang was acting, Huo Jing couldn't help but calm the depression that had been stored in his heart for the past few days.
Looking at the delicate Lu Weimang beside him, Huo Jing stretched out his finger and pointed heavily on her forehead, "I'll let you go this time, and then next time, I didn't spare it so easily, you know?" ”
Lu Weimang nodded, always feeling that Huo Jing had something to say, shook his head, dispelled distracting thoughts, and now the matter is important.
In the evening, everyone had a rare hot meal.
This time, Huo Jing brought a full hundred black-armored guards, and before entering the city, he only took off the iron armor and wore the black leather armor that ordinary guards often wear.
In addition to some important towns, there are not a few people in the wilderness and wilderness, and although Huo Jing has exterminated a large number of bandits, there may as well be those who block the road and rob them, and they are traveling with businessmen at this time, or they will huddle together for warmth, or hire some guards.
It can't be said that there are no people like Huo Jing, but it is still rare to be so imposing and well-trained.
Combined with the big businessman from Kyoto set up by Lu Weimang, I believe that in the chaotic place of Shu County's trade route, someone will definitely notice. At this time, what Lu Weimang and Huo Jing did was to throw out the bait, secretly investigate, and wait for the fish to take the bait by the way.
In the lobby, the black-armored guards who had been changed were almost full, and every table was full of good wine and meat, and Huo Jing and Lu Weimang, who were by the window, were also constantly looking at everyone.
Lu Weimang didn't care so much, she didn't raise her head when she ate at this time, and she didn't have the embarrassment of the past with Huo Jing.
Lu Weimang is like this, if she is acting, she will naturally take on the role, and some of her own character flaws disappear in the roles she creates.
I saw that at this moment, Lu Weimang asked Huo Jing to peel shrimp for himself for a while, and complained that the coarse tea and light rice on this table were not eaten, if it wasn't for the dust and dust all the way, he wouldn't be able to eat it. Although she was feasting at this time, it did not prevent her from being picky with her mouth.
The image of an unruly lady not only convinced strangers, but even Lin Chen and Ding Yi on the side were secretly surprised, "I heard that women are born to act, it turns out to be true." Lin Chen sighed, and Ding Yi nodded silently.
Only Huo Jing, at this time, while peeling shrimp, he looked at his "sister" dotingly, like a pet sister madman, Lu Weimang said a word, he promised a word, after a meal, Lu Weimang was satisfied, but Huo Jing didn't seem to have eaten a few bites.
"Brother, aren't these meals to taste? Why don't I see you eat. When you're away from home, just make do with it, don't go hungry. ”
The shopkeeper, who was said to be okay in public, stared at this unruly lady behind the counter.
Huo Jing smiled dotingly, "You eat first, I'll eat after you eat." You have suffered along the way, of course my brother has to hold on to you first. Lu Weimang picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped his mouth, "Brother, I've finished eating, you can eat it quickly." It's cold on the table, I'll call you some more. ”
"No need, these are just right, I'm done eating, and I still have something to do in the evening."
Huo Jing picked up the bowl, quickly settled the dinner with the leftover dishes of Lu Weimang, and then returned to the room with Lu Weimang.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang in front of him and asked.
