The ground of talent was muddy again, but they also reached the section of the road where it was difficult for cars and horses to walk, and everyone had to get out of the car and walk on foot.

"Where can you rest?" The man walking in front asked.

Guide: "It's close to the mountains, it's close to the river, it's not safe, and if you walk for most of the day, there's a small village to borrow." ”

The crowd had no choice but to keep walking.

Not to mention that there may be flash floods when it rains, even if you pass from such a place on a sunny day, you should also beware of falling rocks, and walk as fast as you can.

It was getting late, and they were dragged by the rain and walked more and more slowly.

After days of trekking, these scholars have long been exhausted, relying on their will to support them, and their walking speed is getting slower and slower.

Lu Xu saw that the front was blocked again, and sighed helplessly.

As soon as he turned his head, his Lu Zhou was so sleepy that he dozed off, and Yan Junqi was also very unenergetic.

Lu Xu patted Lu Zhou, "Go and sit in the car." ”

Lu Zhou stared in confusion, "I can't pull it." ”

Lu Xu: "Go so slowly, you can move, go." ”

Lu Zhou let out an "um", climbed into the driving position with half-squinted eyes, and rested for a while.

Lu Xu: "Don't fall off." ”

Lu Zhou beat his spirit and grabbed the reins.

Lu Xuwaner asked Yan Junqi: "Do you want to rest?" ”

Yan Junqi shook his head.

Pulling the cart to go so far in the mud, the mule is also tired, it is okay to take a Lu boat, and if there is one more him, he is worried that the mule will be tired and sick.

"It's still going to last."

Lu Xu: "Come, carry you." ”

Yan Junqi laughed.

He was reluctant to let the mule carry it, where would he be willing to let Lu Xu carry it.

"Walk."

Lu Xu walked around to Yan Junqi's side, holding the mule with his right hand and grabbing Yan Junqi's hand with his left hand, "Then I'll hold you." ”

"Hmm." Yan Junqi leaned next to Lu Xu, and Lu Xu's palms were still dry and warm in the rain.

They walked forward slowly, and Lu Xu looked back at Lu Zhou while muttering "It's almost there" to Yan Junqi, and if Lu Zhou had a tendency to fall, he would call him.

Yan Junqi was sleepy and dazed, and his ears were full of Lu Xu's infinite loop like chanting, "Lu Zhou", "Zhou Zhou", "almost here"......

After walking for nearly an hour, they finally reached the small village that the guide had said.

As soon as the scholar who walked in front heard this, he immediately exhausted his strength and fell to his knees, and his scholar and the coachman helped him up.

The scholar was trembling with exhaustion.

It was already the second half of the night, and the guide hurriedly knocked on the door, and the small village thought that robbers had come in the middle of the night, and they panicked for a while.

In the end, there were only two families in the village that could be moved to borrow for them, and there were simply no so many people living in it.

The guide looked at this group of chickens drenched in soup, and the old man who couldn't stand on his feet one by one, was also so sad that he wanted to cry.

"Hurry up and rest, what season is it, you can see how tired and cold it has frozen."

Li Zheng in the small village is also afraid, these officials and masters, they can't stand any of them, but they really have no place.

He also cried with a sad face, "The heavy rain in the past two days has collapsed several rooms, how can those houses still be inhabited." ”

In the end, they gave priority to the scholars and the scholars, and all the coachmen and guides spent the night in the car.

It was raining continuously, and it was difficult for the drivers to light a bonfire, so they smiled bitterly and pulled the car to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Yan Junqi looked at the room full of busy scholars, and the scholars who fell on the kang like corpses, and said to Lu Zhou: "Zhouzhou, you go and squeeze with them, and your brother and I will deal with it in the car for one night." ”

Lu Zhou hurriedly said: "I'm resting, Brother Jun Qi, go to sleep." "Although the house is not clean, there is a fire on the kang, and the guide and Li Zheng have already gone to light the fire," it was warm inside. ”

Yan Junqi urged him, "It's just a vacant seat, you can go." ”

Lu Zhou wanted to refuse, but Lu Xu also said: "The quilt is thick in our car, you can go." ”

Lu Zhou had a bit of a cold yesterday, and Lu Xu was also afraid that he would be sick, "I'll park the car in the yard, and if it's cold, I'll go in and find you." ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and nodded, "I'll sleep for a while and change Brother Qi." ”

Yan Junqi smiled: "Okay." ”

Lu Xu led the mule into the yard and parked under the eaves next to another car.

He helped Yan Junqi get into the car, found dry clothes for Yan Junqi, asked Yan Junqi to change into them, took out the old ginger and candy he bought a few days ago, and ran to borrow the kitchen to make ginger soup.

The village saw it and brought a large piece of ginger from home.

He didn't have sugar, so he could only dry cook ginger soup.

After boiling the ginger soup, they sent it to the room one by one.

Lu Xu came in with ginger soup, it was only such a long time, Lu Zhou had already shrunk on the bed and fell asleep, Lu Xu went over and touched his forehead, which was not too hot, and called Lu Zhou up to drink ginger soup.

Lu Zhou got up and drank sleepily, but some people were burned and confused, and they couldn't drink no matter how they fed it, so the scholar cried and persuaded him, "Young master, you drink it quickly, it will be warm after drinking." ”

But the young master of his family clearly burned and fainted.

Lu Xu went over, asked the scholar to help the person up, pinched his chin, picked up the ginger soup and poured it in.

After only two bites, the scholar woke up coughing, and he didn't know whether it was hot or choking.

Lu Xu returned the bowl to the scholar, hiding his merit and fame, "Return the bowl to others when it is used up." ”

Scholar: "......"

Lu Xu slipped away quickly, ran back to the car, and turned out a leather jacket for Lu Zhou to cover.

"Still drinking?"

Lu Zhou shook his head.

Lu Xu told him: "If you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, just call me, I'm in the yard, and I can hear you when you shout." ”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Lu Xu was not at ease, and sat for a while to make sure that Lu Zhou was asleep and did not have a fever, before returning to the car.

Yan Junqi had already finished drinking the ginger soup, covered with a quilt, and was about to fall asleep leaning on the carriage.

Lu Xu took off his soaked shoes and socks, put them in a dry place by the eaves, climbed into the car, closed the doors and windows and changed clothes.

Yan Junqi heard the movement and opened his eyes to look at him.

Lu Xu took off his clothes halfway, noticed the sight, turned his head and smiled at Yan Junqi: "Thanks to my mother's cleverness, she prepared a lot of clothes, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to wear it in the rain all the way." ”

Yan Junqi handed him a towel to wipe the rain.

Lu Xu rubbed it all the time, changed into dry clothes and leaned over, "Is it cold?" ”

Yan Junqi shook his head.

Lu Xu stretched out his hand and pressed it on his head, Yan Junqi was trembling by the ice, "How is Xiaozhou?" ”

"I've got a little fever, I'll check it out later."

"Hmm."

"Have you drunk the ginger soup?"

"Well, what about you?"

"Not yet." Lu Xu scooped up the kettle in the corner again, drank the remaining ginger soup inside, and was done.

He put the empty pot back in the corner, pulled Yan Junqi into his arms, pulled the quilt, pressed left and right, made sure that there was no wind around, and said with peace of mind: "Sleep!" ”

Yan Junqi leaned on his chest, and was a little sleepless by Lu Xu's newly grown stubble.

It was miserable and rainy outside, the eaves above his head were raining, and the rain outside the window was like weaving, but it was hot and warm underneath.

Lu Xu's breath was blurry and clear in the darkness. It's close, it's close, and it's always a little bit apart.

It's just that tonight it seems that it's too cold outside, which makes him feel that Lu Xu's heat source is closer than usual.

Yan Junqi chuckled, raised his hand and touched Lu Xu's chin, it was a little prickly.

Lu Xu opened his eyes blankly, and Yan Junqi raised his head and kissed his chin.

Lu Xu suddenly shook his head and stumbled: "I, I, I'll go wash my face!" ”

After walking all day in the wind and rain, does he have mud on his face?!

Yan Junqi chuckled, pressed his shoulder and moved up, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Lu Xu's head exploded on the spot.

He tightened his arms and lowered his head to meet Yan Junqi's shallow kiss.

The carriage was getting hot.

Breathing disorders are in a mess.

Through the clothes, Lu Xu also felt the changes in Yan Junqi's body.

He let go of Yan Junqi with great perseverance, "This broken car is not soundproof at all!" ”

"Hmm." Yan Junqi's breathing gradually calmed down, and he leaned against the wall of the carriage and slept with his eyes closed.

But Lu Xu was a little unwilling, he coughed lightly and leaned towards Yan Junqi, "You, you don't hate it, do you?" ”

"Hmm."

What he said had no beginning or end, and Yan Junqi also knew what he was asking.

Not annoying.

I've been curious for a long time.

The first time he saw Lu Xu returning home from selling snails from the county seat, he was curious about why Lu Xu wanted to kiss Lu Rui when he kissed Lu Rui's head.
