Mu Xun saw that she was disheartened and seemed to give up, so he hurriedly interrupted: "You don't have to think nonsense, and you must not give up lightly." This is not far from Kunming City, let's travel day and night, we want to arrive within three days, as long as you see my father, you can save your life!"

When he said this, he hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold Wu Xizi's cold hands tightly, and continued to encourage him warmly: "My father is very powerful, he will definitely have a way to detoxify you, and you will definitely be safe!

Wu Xizi saw that his face was full of concern, and his words were extremely sincere, a warmth rose in his heart, and the cold around him seemed to have subsided a lot at this moment, and he smiled slightly at the moment and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to your arrangement." ”

Mu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Are you hungry, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." ”

Wu Xizi had no appetite, but he thought that he was probably hungry, so he withdrew his right hand, took out the money bag from his waist and handed it over, and said, "I want to eat scallion pancakes, you go and see what you can sell." ”

Mu Xun stretched out his hand to take the money bag and said, "You wait a while, I'll go back quickly." ”

This Heyang town is a post house on the official road, although the name is a town, but it is not a village town, there are no other houses and stores on the road except the post house, but there are also some flat shoulder dealers gathered around the post house to do small business.

Mu Xun walked all the way and turned around all the stalls on the street, but he didn't see any stalls selling scallion pancakes, so he immediately thought: "There is a stove burning in the post house, why don't you go there and ask the cook to make some." Thinking of this, he moved towards the post house.

At this time, it was time for dinner, and the inn was already full of merchants who traveled from south to north. As soon as Mu Xun stepped into the main hall with his front foot, he saw a guy come up to him and ask about the tip or the hotel. But when Mu Xun said that he wanted some scallion pancakes, the guy's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he immediately smiled and said: "The scallion pancakes that the guest officer wanted, the chef in charge also made them, but now he can't open the pancakes, so he can only let you wait for a while." ”

When Mu Xun heard this, he knew that this guy was disgusted with this transaction and not making money, but he didn't break it in person, but just smiled and said: "I'm in a hurry, I can't wait, so I bothered the little brother to go and talk to the chef and ask him to make me twenty cakes first." As he spoke, he reached out and touched the money bag, took out five taels of silver from it, handed it to the man, and said a few words in his mouth, "There is labor".

When the guy saw that Mu Xun was five taels of silver as soon as he made a move, he was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't say anything more, first led him to the table to sit down, and then waited for the tea, and then hurriedly retreated.

Mu Xun sat idly and drank tea, during which he also looked at the faces of all the beings in the hall, and after waiting for about half a stick of incense, he saw the guy walking over with a gray cloth bag, and said with a smile on his face: "The little guest officer is in a hurry, so he takes matters into his own hands and helps you bag these oil cakes." ”

Mu Xun nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly: "This guy is very clever, I forgot to explain this before." He nodded and said, "That's the best, little brother has a heart." ”

The guy put the cloth bag on the table and said, "These cakes have just come out of the pot, and the color and flavor are just when they are prosperous, do you want to taste one first?"

Mu Xun smelled the aroma of green onions through the cloth bag, and his appetite was immediately hooked, and he was about to reach into the bag to grab the cake, but he thought that Wu Xizi in the carriage was still hungry, so he shook his head and said, "No need, I'll take it away." As he spoke, he grabbed the cloth bag and put it in his hand, and was about to get up and leave.

But as soon as he got up, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly called out to the fellow and asked, "Is there a stove and quilt in the store?"

The guy was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, but the weather is hot now, I don't know what the guest officer wants to do with those things?"

Mu Xun was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I have my own use, and the little brother is bothered to find it for me!" After a pause, he added: "Please also help me burn the stove, and prepare some more charcoal burns." ”

Although the guy felt that Mu Xun's request was strange, but he thought that he was generous, so he didn't ask more, just said, "You wait a moment", and turned to leave.

After a while, the fellow walked back into the hall with a bundle of quilts in his hands, and in each hand he clutched a small fireplace and an old burlap sack. He passed through the hall all the way, and immediately attracted everyone's sideways, and everyone's faces showed strange looks, and then the sound of discussion also sounded one after another.

Mu Xun ignored everyone's gaze, gave the guy another five taels of silver, then picked up the thing, and walked out of the door with a strange look. Back to the carriage, he lifted the curtain and entered, first handed the stove to Wu Xizi's hand, then put down the other things in his hand, and then opened the quilt and covered it tightly for her, and said with a smile: "You have a cold and weak body and a weak yang, so carrying the stove and covering the quilt will definitely warm a lot." ”

Wu Xizi saw that he was so attentive, his heart warmed, his eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of green mist, and asked softly, "On such a hot day, where did you find these things?"

Mu Xun grabbed the cloth bag containing the cake, reached out and touched a piece of cake, handed it to Wu Xizi's mouth, and said with a smile: "As long as you have money in your pocket, what can't you buy?"

Wu Xizi was not busy eating, and after asking clearly about the silver taels spent, she suddenly came to her senses, only to see that her face instantly changed to a raised eyebrows and angry attitude, and the original weak appearance was completely gone, and she began to say bitterly: "The money you spent is mine! No, this is the money you spent indiscriminately, it can't be counted on my head, this account can only be credited to you, and you have to pay it back to me!"

Mu Xun looked at the angry Wu Xizi in front of him, and couldn't help but think: "It's all in such a situation, you still have the heart to remember this." He was about to smile bitterly, but suddenly he thought, "Huh! But looking at her now, she looks like a person who has nothing to do... Hey, it seems that it's also a good medicine to make her worried!" nodded hurriedly at the moment: "Okay, even if I borrowed it from you, I will return it to you when I arrive in Kunming." ”

Wu Xizi got the promise, so she opened her mouth to eat the cake, but her appetite was extremely poor, and she felt that she couldn't eat a small half of a cake. Mu Xun didn't force her to eat more, and after feeding her some water, he helped her lie down and rested, and stayed until she fell asleep before retreating out of the carriage, and then went back to the street to buy some melons and fruits and dry food.

Driving again, this time Mu Xun beat the horse more and more frequently, and the speed became faster and faster, but every half an hour, he had to turn around and lift the curtain to check once, after confirming that Wu Xizi in the carriage was not abnormal, he was relieved, and at such a speed, the carriage also walked a long way, until the day was about to twilight, when people were tired and tired, the speed finally slowed down.

Mu Xun squinted at the setting sun, and said secretly in his heart: "It's been nearly three hours since the departure, and it's time to let the horses rest for a while." With this in mind, he immediately turned his horse, slowly pulled the car to the side of the road, then jumped out of the car, and fetched clear water and grass to feed the horses.
