Chapter 66: Unloading the Disguise
Pitiful as Ji Yao.
If she had heard something else from Fu Xiao's words early at this time and saw the hidden truth, she would not have hurt herself again later.
The two of them walked out of the alley and onto the main street.
Fu Xiao stopped at a stall on the side of the road, took a hat casually, and bought it.
was about to hand it to Ji Yao, but she didn't accept it.
"Don't go back on your word, you just promised me." Fu Xiao insisted.
"I won't! People say that a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, and my little woman naturally does not meet this standard, you care about me. ”
Ji Yao was a scoundrel.
"I'm afraid this girl doesn't want to hide her flower-like appearance."
The hat seller almost quarreled when he saw that the two of them had not left his stall, and said this to ease the atmosphere.
Fu Xiao didn't say anything, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly changed his attitude, but his eyes suddenly became extremely tired when he looked at Ji Yao, and said very gently: "You're good." ”
Ji Yao was still angry at first, and he was rightly inserting his waist, but he was also deflated by Fu Xiao's staring.
Being looked at like this in public, Ji Yao only felt embarrassed.
Even her face was a little hot.
She gave up and continued to hold her position, but took the initiative to snatch the hat in Fu Xiao's hand, quickly buckled it on her head, hurriedly fastened it on her chin, and put the curtain away to block Fu Xiao's scorching sight.
The peddler was a little stunned, why did he just praise this girl for her good looks, and she did the opposite?
There are still people in this world who don't like to be praised......
Fu Xiao saw that Ji Yao obediently put on his hat and achieved his goal, so he smiled and threw a few more coins of silver to the vendor, and walked away with Ji Yao's shoulder.
Without taking two steps, Ji Yao broke away from him.
He pinched Fu Xiao's waist with him, scolded "sick" in a low voice, took a step sideways, and distanced himself from him.
This time he pinched very hard, but Fu Xiao was not angry.
No matter how you say it, it's all his own demon, and he should bear it or keep it.
"Watch the road."
Fu Xiao saw that Ji Yao was wearing a hat but only looking at his feet and walking, so he couldn't help but kindly remind him, and saw that Ji Yao almost bumped into someone, so he hurriedly pulled her back to his side.
"Why are you doing so much!"
"Why was it so careless!"
The two said in unison.
Ji Yao and Fu Xiao were both stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to react like this.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time through a layer of gauze tent, and they didn't continue to explain what they just said, but they both took a step back from each other.
Ji Yao said: "This hat is too unaccustomed to wearing. ”
Fu Xiao responded: "Let's stay up for a while, you won't need it when you get out of the city later." ”
Ji Yao said again: "That's right, hurry up and give me those things." ”
Fu Xiao agreed: "Okay, no problem." ”
The rest of the conversation between the two was not at all distracting, and they chatted about the weather very perfunctorily, which lasted until they wandered back to the inn.
As soon as he returned to the room, Fu Xiao took a bottle of potion that didn't smell very pleasant, dipped it in a handkerchief, and wiped it little by little next to the edge that had been shaped on Ji Yao's face before, melting the disfigurement cream attached to the skin.
Ji Yao closed his eyes and didn't say a word the whole time.
The same is true for Fu Xiao.
After everything was unloaded, Fu Xiao wiped his hands and said, "Okay." ”
As soon as Ji Yao opened his eyes, he pressed the bridge of his nose that had restored its original height with his hand, exhaled, and asked Fu Xiao, "Will you leave today?" ”
"Okay." Fu Xiao said.
Fu Xiao originally thought about taking Ji Yao to play in Xucheng for two more days.
After being busy a few days ago, he solved the troubles for a period of time in the future, and now he has a hole card in his hand, and now he is not in a hurry.
But since Ji Yao is in such a hurry to leave, it's not easy for him to say "no", anyway, everything is almost arranged, and it's not impossible to go.
It's a pity, I asked Xiao Er a lot of news in the morning, including which store is the best, which place has the best scenery, and which teahouse has the best music.
I guess I won't need it.
Fu Xiao didn't say much, so he let Ji Yao go back to get his luggage, cleaned up casually, and went downstairs to find the shopkeeper's checkout.
The three upper rooms, plus the meals that have been put up these days, have all been cleared.
If you don't calculate carefully, Fu Xiao doesn't know that Mo Die's kid is really the same as a pig, and he eats too much.
The cost of food has to catch up with the cost of accommodation.
Fu Xiao leaned on the counter, glanced at the staircase, and saw that Ji Yao had not come down for a long time, so he asked Xiao Er to help them find a carriage, and then hire a master who drove smoothly.
I also specially told that the car must be clean and comfortable, and the person must be steady and careful.
After Fu Xiao finished arranging these, he turned around and went upstairs, intending to urge Ji Yao.
Ji Yao's luggage and baggage had already been packed, and he didn't see any movement when he stood in the room, but he was just irritable.
In her heart, it has been extremely subtle since Fu Xiao stared at her intently.
His look always reminded her of another person.
A person who is not very reliable.
If you want to ask the reason, Ji Yao can't say clearly.
It is estimated that Fu Xiao and Jia Xiaofu are quite similar in some aspects, which makes Ji Yao's thorn in the bottom of his heart start to become inflamed and painful again, and it is uncomfortable and tight.
Just now, it was obvious that Fu Xiao had a half-joking attitude, and it was even more imperative to coerce her to put on her hat.
Ji Yao always felt ...... There was a deep meaning in Fu Xiao's eyes.
Moreover, the concerned tone after that made her inexplicably want to escape.
For the first time, Ji Yao felt that Fu Xiao's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, pressing step by step.
She was really afraid that Fu Xiao would play with her, and when the time came, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist.
Ji Yao still had some unclear calculations before, but now he just wants to erase them all, and he distances himself from Fu Xiao neatly.
"Are you leaving?"
Fu Xiao leaned against the door frame, tilted his head with his hands and asked.
As soon as Ji Yao turned his head, he saw Fu Xiao's son-in-law appearance, but he didn't pay attention to it just now, he also took off his fake beard.
This person is good-looking, but Ji Yao doesn't have any good feelings now.
She felt more and more that the ancients did not deceive me, and it was really close to Zhu who was red and black who was close to ink.
Fu Xiao can make friends like Jia Xiaofu, which shows that he is not a reliable person.
Was he blind or blindfolded, why did he believe his nonsense?
Ji Yao has always been reluctant to speculate on a person who is not very familiar with it with the worst malice.
It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it's almost unrecoverable.
Promised, what should be helped will be helped, and what should be done will continue to be done, this is a transaction and a promise, and she will keep it.
However, that little bit of caution to deal with Xiao is to be cut off from now on.
Ji Yao calmed down, picked up the hat from the table, put it on his head upright, and said lightly to Fu Xiao: "Let's go." ”
Fu Xiao turned sideways, avoiding the brim of his hat that could pest his chin, and made way for Ji Yao.
It was also just in time that the two of them had just arrived in the lobby, and Xiao Er, who had been instructed by Fu Xiao to go out to find the carriage, came back.
He politely led out the person behind him and introduced: "Boss Xiao, this is the most stable handlebar style in this part of our Xicheng, fourth brother." ”
Fu Xiao looked him up and down, and saw that the man was short and hunched, and he didn't know if he was fighting horses all year round, his two arms were very tight, and his sleeves were bulging.
He politely bowed his hand and said, "It's troublesome Fourth Brother." ”
How dare that person accept his salute, hurriedly retreated half a step to the side, waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, I'm just a car, how can I be worthy of your name, just call me the fourth." ”
After that, he also grabbed Xiao Er, and scolded with a smile: "Why do you explain nonsense in your mouth." ”
Xiao Er obviously panicked for a moment, then smiled apologetically, and said again, "Eh, look at my mouth, why do you say bald." ”
Fu Xiao only said that it was okay.
If you want to say that you are out of the house, you don't have to pay special attention to your status. He didn't care about these titles, and he didn't think about being hypocritical because of his dignity.
Looking at the age of the fourth child, it is actually appropriate to call him brother.
But everyone said that they didn't have to be happy, so it was whatever he said, Fu Xiao nodded and agreed, after all, he had to rely on him in the next three or two days to get in a stable hurry.
Ji Yao stood silently with his luggage and belongings, and when he saw Xiao Er, he couldn't stop looking at her, for fear that he would find out that she had changed her outfit, and he was just curious.
She quietly tilted her face to the side, hiding her face under the veil.
The fourth child is also a smart man.
Seeing that there was a woman standing next to Fu Xiao, thin and weak with a lot of baggage, he stepped forward enthusiastically and helped her share the two, and then took them to the place where the carriage was parked at the door.
And so began the journey.
The fourth car does have a hand.
It's as if you can communicate with the horses, know when they can't suppress the desire to run, take advantage of the situation, and know when they should stop and rest, and let them walk slowly and vigorously.
This speed up and deceleration did not forget to notify Fu Xiao Ji Yao and them, which was no less than a warm reminder.
Say something like "this road is smooth, but you have to run faster, a little shaky, you have to be careful when pouring water and making tea", or "the two of you have been bumpy for a long time, but you have to get out of the car to breathe".
Compared with Mo Die's rush to the top, the experience of riding is excellent.
With this good helper, the time to arrive at the post station was a little earlier than Fu Xiao expected.
He had thought that he would spend the night in the mountains and forests and then arrive at the nearest post station at noon on the next day.
Unexpectedly, when the sky was getting dark and it was not suitable to hurry, the fourth man was stunned and walked a long way, and with his intuition and natural sense of direction, he brought them to the door of the post house with lanterns.
Fu Xiao had to admire, it was true that he was the champion.
He looked at the dark road when he came, even if he had a good eye, it was a little difficult to distinguish where there was a pit and where there was a rut, let alone ordinary people.
But the fourth child did it.
Fu Xiao looked at the fourth child who was talking to Ji Yao in Lele, and his eyes became a little deep.
This person doesn't look like an ordinary person, but he doesn't have the characteristics of a person who practices martial arts, and there are empty doors and dead holes everywhere, and he is full of flaws......
is still a five-short figure, Fu Xiao feels that he can beat forty old ones.
Fu Xiao only said that he was too careful.
The fourth child's honest appearance and rough hands all confirm the fact that he is an ordinary coachman.
The fourth helped Ji Yao take the burden down, and he was embarrassed to give it to her directly, turned his head and saw Fu Xiao standing aside, so he hurriedly walked over, presented it with both hands, and said to him: "What's that...... Boss, why don't you take it first, I'll go and tie the horse, and go inside to see if anyone is there." ”
Fu Xiao took it and nodded, "Okay." ”
The fourth child got the word and left.
The small courtyard fenced by the railing only left Ji Yao and Fu Xiao.
"This place...... Can it really live in people? ”
A big gray mouse more than half a foot long sprang out from Ji Yao's feet, dragging its tail and scurrying into the dark.
She took a step back, her mind fluttering.
This post station stands in the wilderness, next to the three-way intersection, and the small wind that blows from nowhere is swirling, blowing chills in people's hearts.
In addition, the paper pasted on the two lanterns at the door had faded, and one had lost its light, and only one remained, reflecting the candlelight miserably.
Bright and extinguished, flickering and flickering, pulling their shadows to the ground with teeth and claws.
The shadows of the trees that had blended into the mountains were all rustling.
"Since it's called a post station, you can definitely rest."
Fu Xiao replied, "But...... It's hard to say if there is a place for us. The night is cold, and we are definitely not the only ones looking for a place to rest. There are three ways of people, gods and ghosts, and we only took that one. ”
He gestured not far away.
"Huh."
Ji Yao didn't plan to look at it, and forced a calm laugh twice.
Fu Xiao didn't intend to scare her, but the atmosphere was in place, and the words came to that place.
"Listen, what's going on."
He lowered his voice in a pretended disgrace.
Ji Yao only felt a tingling in her back, and the light veil of the hat on her head kept floating around, and there were always some white shadows in her eyes, which was so tight.
She took a sip and jumped to her feet and said, "Bah, you have lost your conscience when you say this, how can there be any spirits and ghosts, who are you to scare!" ”
Fu Xiao saw her angry and corrupt appearance, and only felt cute, so he immediately stood beside her, stretched out his hand and snorted twice on her hat, and muttered: "Or I'll help you snor, we're not afraid." ”
"you."
Regarding Fu Xiao's behavior of moving his hands and feet when he was fine, Ji Yao's anger was not feigned, and he kicked Fu Xiao, but he didn't dare to stay too far away from him.
Hardness is also temporary.
After all, in this environment, she is still a little scared.
At this time, the fourth child came out of the darkness and said to the two people who were standing in place waiting, "What ...... then?"
"Ahh
Ji Yao was defenseless at all, and was scared out of a scream, only then did he turn around, see that it was a human or a ghost, stroked his heart, and whispered: "You scared me to death." ”
The fourth child scratched his hair very innocently, and he didn't know why.
Seeing Fu Xiao standing with his hands in his hands, he quickly stepped forward and continued: "What, Boss Xiao, the people in the post station have risen, but this place, I don't look like a serious post station anyway." ”
