When Qin Ke pushed the wheelchair out of the palace gate, he heard the rooster crowing in the chicken shed that he didn't know, the sound was loud as if it was about to go through the clouds, and the sky in the distance gradually turned a little gray.

"It's all this time. Qin Ke muttered, but Zhang Fu, who was originally waiting for him at the door, was gone, and his heart tightened slightly, a little worried about whether something had happened to her, after all, on such a quiet night, she was a powerless woman, alone, it was not a safe thing.

Thinking of this, he blamed himself for his carelessness, and he should have let her go back to sleep directly.

However, he looked around and saw Zhang Fu sitting under a big tree at the gate of the palace, leaning against the big tree and closing his eyes slightly.

Zhang Fu fell asleep.

In such a deep dark night, there was a quiet smile on her face, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the moonlight shone on her long black hair, like a layer of silver frost.

A cool breeze blew, she seemed to feel a little cold, her hands subconsciously wrapped around her shoulders, curled up, like a cowering little mouse.

Qin Ke thought that when she first met Zhang Fu, in the marriage room of the King of the Mountain, she was also sleeping quietly on the marriage bed full of bright red colors with the word "happy".

At that time, Qin Ke thought she was very beautiful, more beautiful than all the girls in Daoxiang Village, but the situation was urgent, and the thieves who smashed the door outside the door were kicking the door that looked like it was going to collapse at any time, so he was not in the mood to take a second look.

Then Zhang Fu followed them along the river all the way to Wu County, and then from Wu County all the way back to Jianye City, these days, Qin Ke is also used to her existence, and he doesn't pay much attention to her appearance.

"Zhang Fu......" Qin Ke said in a low voice.

Zhang Fu was still asleep, her breath was peaceful, as if this was not under a tree outside the palace gate, but a warm bed at home.

"Zhang Fu. Qin Ke screamed again, stretched out his hand and gently touched Zhang Fu's shoulder.

Under his call, Zhang Fu slowly opened his loose sleepy eyes, but first screamed at first, and then carefully examined and found that the black shadow in front of him was none other than Qin Ke, who was in a wheelchair, his face turned red and he hurriedly stood up.

"I'm sorry. I was just a little tired from standing, and I wanted to sit here for a while, but who knows, I fell asleep. Zhang Fu was cowardly, looking down like a child who had made a mistake.

Qin Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's not good for me, if I knew that I would be in for so long, I should have let you go back before entering the door." It's cold at night, you sleep here, and tomorrow it's not good if you get a cold. ”

Zhang Fu's heart was slightly warm, and her voice was a little sweeter: "It's okay, I'll just go back and drink some ginger soup, every time I had a cold when I was a child, my grandmother would cook ginger soup for me to drink, add some brown sugar, and it will be better soon." ”

The rooster crowed again. Zhang Fu looked at the sky, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah, it's so late." ”

Qin Ke nodded, looking into the distance and stunned: "It should be said that it is so early." In another hour, it should be dawn, right?"

The day dawned, and another day began, and where was Master at this time? Was he in a certain corner, over the mountains and mountains, looking for the traces of the artifact, or had he reached the "other side" that he had been pursuing all his life?

Zhang Fu looked at Qin Ke, feeling his somewhat depressed mood, and his mood was also much lower, her cherry lips opened lightly, and she said softly: "What's wrong with you......? Did he scold you?"

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "I just can't figure out some things. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Fu asked with some hesitation, "Although I don't know if I can help, maybe I feel better when I say something." ”

"No need. It's not a big deal, either. Qin Ke shrugged, of course he couldn't let Zhang Fu know about this matter, maybe he had to hide more people, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Let's go, you are also tired this night, you can go back to make up for sleep before it is dawn." ”

Zhang Fu is a little lost, a woman's intuition is always keen, and she was born in a large family of Qunfang, and then she frequently went in and out of the court, and she knew how to observe words and emotions since she was a child, how could she not know that Qin Ke was talking a cliché.

Maybe in Qin Ke's heart, he is still an outsider?

Biting her lip, she thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Shall I take you somewhere?"

"Where to go?" Qin Ke looked at her strangely, not sleeping all night, it was not a big deal for him, but Zhang Fu suddenly proposed to take him to a place at this moment when he should have been the most sleepy, what kind of medicine was she selling in this gourd?

After turning a few thoughts, Qin Ke still nodded, anyway, almost the whole city is sleeping at this time, even if he goes back to the Taixue Hall, he can only get into the bed and lie down, but in his current condition, he can't sleep at all, so it's better to accompany Zhang Fu for a walk.

The wheelchair slowly rolled on the bluestone road of Jianye City, a man and a woman slowly moved forward in this gradually fading night, the water in Jianye City continued to flow along the river, and there were swimming fish jumping out of the water, and quickly burrowed into the silt along the current.

Along the way, the two whispered about interesting things in Wu County, and although Zhang Fu's laughter was restrained, it was still as crisp and sweet as a silver bell, floating in the light mist of the early morning.

To Qin Ke's surprise, the owner of the steamed bun shop opened very early today, and at this moment, on top of the cauldron set up in front of his shop, the steamers were stacked layer by layer next to the beams of the house, and when they were slightly revealed, they were greeted by an overwhelming white mist.

"Qin Ke, get up so early?" The owner of the steamed bun shop didn't know how many times he had seen Qin Ke come to eat steamed buns here, and he was familiar with it as if he was his own relative, and Qin Ke's appearance in a wheelchair also made him a little surprised, "You are here...... What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I fell off my horse and fell on my leg...... It's not a big deal, and it should be fine in half a month. Qin Ke didn't say anything about the military exercise, anyway, the boss of the steamed bun shop didn't understand, "Lu Bo, are the meat buns cooked?"

Seeing Qin Ke's disapproving appearance, Lu Bo also put his mind at ease, and replied repeatedly: "I steamed the meat buns earlier, there are several cages, and the business has been good recently, and the buns are not worried about selling." ”

Qin Ke smiled and nodded, the recent visit of the two countries' missions to Jianye City naturally attracted many people to the city to watch, and in order to support Jing Wu's face, the government specially allocated silver and lowered the room price of the inn in Jianye City, which attracted a lot of tourists.

As soon as there are many people, it is easy to buy and sell, and Jianye City has ushered in a prosperous period.

"Luber, the missions of both countries are now out of the city. In a few days, there will be fewer travelers, and you will still be making so many buns that you can't sell...... Uh, can you sell it to me cheaply?"

Lu Bo smiled so much that his face was full of folds, and his two eyes were even more narrowed and almost invisible: "Little ghost spirit, you are so beautiful...... You know, Lu Bo has been selling steamed buns here for decades, where do you not know those Taoists? There are just freshly baked big steamed buns, hot and fragrant, come two?"

"Let's have two. One for each person. Qin Ke thought about it, touched his somewhat hungry stomach again, and thought that he still had a lot of monthly money left in his pocket for this month, so he simply stretched out his hand and gestured: "Four." ”

"Okay. Lu Bo climbed the ladder with his hands and feet, picked out the four largest meat buns from the high steamer, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and handed them to Qin Ke's hand, Qin Ke was about to take out the money, but Lu Bo grabbed his wrist, "These five buns, send, don't need money!"

"Sent?" Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, but found that Lu Bo was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and said in a low voice, "Qin Ke, it's the first time Lu Bo has seen you bring a girl here, and Lu Bo has to express it." This girl is good, she looks like a flower, and she can push you all the way over, and she must be virtuous. The most important thing is ......" his rough hands gestured, "big butt, I will definitely be able to give birth to a big fat boy in the future!"

Qin Ke was stunned for a long time, and then choked on saliva and coughed violently: "Lu Bo...... What are you talking about...... We're friends...... Friends ......"

"It's still a friend. Lu Bo laughed, "That's right, you learned people, this girl is not a girl from an ordinary family at first glance, and she can't be like a rough person like Lu Bo, who goes to drill into the forest with her eyes." Get the 'words of the matchmaker of the parents'......"

After all, in such a small village, no one can afford to invite a matchmaker, a man and a woman, if they are not married, and they happen to like each other, they will go into the forest to see each other naked, and make a private decision for life, and then the two families beat the gong and drum to get married, and in a few years, there should be children.

Qin Ke listened to Lu Bo's more and more outrageous words, and hurriedly covered Lu Bo's mouth: "Lu Bo, don't talk nonsense, I'm only a few years old, what do you ...... drill in the forest?"

Lu Bo pulled away Qin Ke's hand and smiled like an elder: "It's still early, isn't it early." At your age, let the children in our hometown run all over the ground!"
