Chapter 18 I think I'm old
After the two of them filled their stomachs, Bai Qi asked Ning Xiaoxue to rest in the carriage.
The small bed in the carriage was not very big, only enough for one person to sleep, and before leaving, Ning Xiaoxue asked people to put a quilt on the carriage, and also prepared a thick cotton coat.
At this time, the weather is approaching autumn, and the temperature difference at night in the deep mountains is still very large.
Ning Xiaoxue didn't answer Bai Qi's request, but just looked at Bai Qi with a smile.
"Sister Ning. Don't get me wrong!" Bai Qi hurriedly explained: "I mean you go to rest in the carriage, and I rest outside." After all, you've been freezing outside for the past few days, and I really don't want to go. ”
Ning Xiaoxue didn't care about this, she could use her skills to resist the cold, even if it was snowy, she wouldn't feel cold.
But to put it bluntly, he definitely doesn't know this, after all, he is just an ordinary person.
"It's very cold at night here, can you really stand it at night?" Ning Xiaoxue reminded.
"It's okay, I'll just sit by the fire, and there's still firewood left next to me. Bai Qi said, looking at a pile of dry branches next to the fire.
Ning Xiaoxue nodded, did not speak, stepped into the carriage, and then threw Bai Qi a cotton coat.
Bai Qi sat by the fire in a cotton coat, using a branch to pluck the unburned charcoal on the edge of the fire, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the second half of the night, Ning Xiaoxue, who was asleep, heard a bang, as if something fell to the ground.
She hurriedly opened the curtain next to the carriage, the fire had just been extinguished, and there was still a faint spark, but Bai Qi was lying on his side on the ground sleeping.
After knowing that the sound just now was made by Bai Qi falling to the ground, she couldn't help but smile, and then got out of the carriage, walked to Bai Qi's side and squatted down.
Because she only had one hand, she had to use her right hand to grab the cotton clothes wrapped around the white body, and gently carry it into the carriage like a carry.
Although Ning Xiaoxue's movements have been very light, after all, she only has one hand, and it is inevitable that she will bump slightly in the process of putting Bai Qi into the carriage, and even then Bai Qi has not been awakened.
"What a pig!"
Covering Bai Qi with the quilt, Ning Xiaoxue squatted in front of Bai Qi and whispered.
She then stepped out of the carriage, added wood to the fire that had just been extinguished, and lit it.
Ning Xiaoxue sat by the fire, a cold wind blew, her body shook slightly, and then she used her strength to resist the cold.
Thinking of Bai Qi feeding himself before, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
She is only twenty-six years old, and she has not yet reached the point of seeing through the red dust, and she has not considered the private affairs of her children in the past ten years in the dark temple, but Bai Qi's abrupt behavior has disturbed her state of mind.
She definitely doesn't like Bai Qi's feelings now, but she has a little good feeling.
After a long time, Ning Xiaoxue shook her head and interrupted her daze.
"Ning Xiaoxue, Ning Xiaoxue, what are you thinking!"
She then closed her eyes and went into a meditative state.
Early morning.
When the sun shines on the ground, the birds of the forest begin to forage for food, chirping.
Bai Qi in the carriage slowly opened his eyes after hearing the birds, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, looked around, and suddenly widened his eyes.
"How could I be in the carriage?"
He hurriedly stepped out of the carriage and saw Ning Xiaoxue sitting by the fire, holding two branches in her hands with two rabbits strung on them.
"Are you sleeping comfortably?"
Seeing Bai Qi come out, Ning Xiaoxue looked up at him, with a hint of banter on the corner of her mouth.
"It's okay...... OK. Bai Qi touched his nose and replied embarrassedly.
"You sleep comfortably, but you make me miserable, you wear cotton clothes, you cover the cotton quilt, I am this thin clothes, you treat your wife like this?"
The more Ning Xiaoxue spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and even her eye circles slowly turned red, as if she was about to cry.
When Bai Qi heard this, he glanced at the cotton clothes he was wrapping in, and then at Ning Xiaoxue's clothes, he was ashamed.
Ning Xiaoxue was dressed in a thin silk dress, and it was hard for him to imagine what it was like to be frozen last night.
"What, Sister Ning, I'm sorry, I ......"
Halfway through speaking, Bai Qi didn't know what to say.
Standing there in a daze, there was a feeling of self-esteem.
He was now desperate to find a hole to get into.
Seeing Bai Qi standing there helplessly, Ning Xiaoxue had already secretly laughed in her heart.
"Alas, life is hard...... Ning Xiaoxue sighed, glanced at Bai Qi and continued: "I think about others everywhere, but I didn't expect people to care about me at all. ”
As soon as Ning Xiaoxue's words came out, Bai Qi's face turned red because of shame.
Thinking of Ning Xiaoxue's care for herself in the past few days, when she thinks of what she said just now, it can be said that she is heartbroken.
Ning Xiaoxue didn't really care about this, as the master of the Thousand Faces Hall, she was just playing with her wife now.
It must be boring to travel for a long time, and if you don't have some fun, I'm afraid you're not going to die of boredom.
"Sister Ning......"
"Don't call me sister, I treat me as your wife, you actually treat me as your sister?
Without waiting for Bai Qi to finish speaking, Ning Xiaoxue interrupted directly.
"No, absolutely not! That's not what I meant. Bai Qi hurriedly explained.
"Then what do you mean?" Ning Xiaoxue asked as she stared at Bai Qi.
At this time, the rabbit roasted on the fire was already cooked, and the aroma was overflowing, and the white nose moved, and the stomach rumbled uncontrollably when it smelled the aroma.
Ning Xiaoxue put the cooked rabbit in front of her nose and sniffed it, and said something so fragrant.
Seeing this, Bai Qi felt even hungrier, and reminisced about the taste of what he had eaten before, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"I just think your hall master is just joking, after all, we are very different in age, and it is a bit unreal. Bai Qi said.
"You think I'm always there, right?" Ning Xiaoxue looked at Bai Qi with unkind eyes.
Bai Qi was stunned, what does this make me say?
"No, I mean I'm still ...... young"
"You're still young? Besides, you're the father of two children at your age, don't you still think I'm old?"
Bai Qi has a big head, Ning Xiaoxue is right, most people at the age of eighteen are already married and have children, so he and his friend Wang Erzhu are more strange.
Seeing that Ning Xiaoxue was about to run away, Bai Qi was about to cry, how could he answer?
"I just didn't feel real, I didn't believe it. Bai Qi thought for a long time and explained.
"Does it mean that I'm faking? I've been pretending to be good to you these days?" Ning Xiaoxue's face became gloomy.
After she said this, she was indeed a little angry in her heart, although the purpose was just to tease Bai Qi, but the care she took care of Bai Qi in the past few days was completely from the heart, otherwise as the master of the Thousand Faces Hall of the Dark Temple, she would do this?
The hall lord Wushir asked her to escort Bai Qi to Yaoguang Kingdom, she didn't have to care about Bai Qi's food and clothing, just escorted him to her destination safely.
"No, I mean you're so pretty, it's kind of unbelievable that you're willing to be my wife...... I can't believe it, I, so I don't dare to admit it in my heart......" Bai Qi said incoherently.
At this time, Bai Qi didn't know what he said, he was extremely nervous in this situation, his brain became confused, and his speech was unclear.
Seeing that Bai Qi was already nervous and couldn't speak, Ning Xiaoxue didn't continue to pick thorns from his words, and then softened her face and said.
"See this?" Ning Xiaoxue shook the roasted rabbit in front of Bai Qi, and continued: "I'll give it to you if I make me happy, if you can't make me happy, you can think about the consequences." ”
This time it was Bai Qi's turn to make trouble, although he didn't think he was stupid, but Ning Xiaoxue's current mind he couldn't figure out, was it a fake play or acting?
Do you really want to be your wife? Don't be funny, it's only been a few days, it's love at first sight? I don't believe it.
But taking care of herself along the way is completely considerate, and it doesn't look like pretending, even if it's pretending, why? I don't have anything worth it about pretending to be like her to deceive her favor, right?
After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind, no matter what, he wouldn't suffer a loss anyway.
If Ning Xiaoxue really wants to be his wife, then it's even better, the master of the Dark Palace, it's a big deal to be said to be a phoenix man, this kind of thing is not envied by others.
So, Bai Qi cleared his throat, mustered up his courage, and said, "Madam!"
After these two words were spoken, Bai Qi felt that his face was hot, and if nothing else, he was already as red as a monkey's buttocks.
Ning Xiaoxue, who was sitting, heard this, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"That's right!"
Ning Xiaoxue stood up and handed the two rabbits in her hand to Bai Qi.
"Aren't you going to eat it?" Bai Qi took the rabbit and looked at Ning Xiaoxue curiously.
Ning Xiaoxue didn't speak, and looked at Bai Qi with a smile.
Bai Qi still doesn't understand where he wants to feed her himself.
He glanced at Ning Xiaoxue strangely, is this woman lacking love?
"What kind of eyes are you?" Ning Xiaoxue raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, "You're still not happy?"
"Yes, yes, take care of Madame I am very willing. Bai Qi hurriedly said.
Not to mention anything else, just Ning Xiaoxue took care of herself along the way, she should do it, plus last night she originally asked Ning Xiaoxue to go to the carriage to rest, but after she fell asleep, she carried herself into the carriage again, and she was frozen outside.
These made Bai Qi grateful to Ning Xiaoxue.
So, Bai Qi tore off a leg from the rabbit and put it in front of Ning Xiaoxue's small mouth.
But Ning Xiaoxue glanced at Bai Qi lightly and didn't open her mouth.
A smile froze on Bai Qi's face.
"Huh?" Ning Xiaoxue's voice slowly became higher.
Bai Qi hurriedly went to find a few clean leaves, put the two rabbits on the leaves, and then tore off a small piece of meat from the rabbit leg that was torn off and placed it in front of Ning Xiaoxue's mouth.
Ning Xiaoxue showed a look of satisfaction, and then opened her mouth slightly and bit the meat in Bai Qi's hand.
