Chapter 119: Pretty Thin-skinned
Ye Lixuan found that the woman suddenly seemed to have no bones, so she picked her up and ran out of the woods.
Gu Xiaoxi really wanted to ask this guy to stop. He was running too fast and she felt a little dizzy.
Ye Lixuan carried Gu Xiaoxi to a bright place, placed her under a big tree, and then took off her shoes. He completely forgot that in this era, men and women were not allowed to touch each other and could not easily look at a woman's feet.
Gu Xiaoxi was in so much pain that she didn't even remember these so-called etiquettes.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the pain gradually disappeared.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Ye Lixuan asked worriedly.
"Okay, it doesn't seem to hurt anymore." Gu Xiaoxi said and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Ye Lixuan sat down next to him, breathing heavily, the blush on his face still not fading.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Ye Lixuan inadvertently, and seeing his flushed face, she couldn't help laughing.
I didn't expect this guy to be so thin-skinned when facing women.
She was a little tired. She took out the stack of letters from her body, tapped his arm with the letters and said, "I brought them all for you. I wonder which one you need?"
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi holding such a thick stack of letters, Ye Lixuan thanked her excitedly, "Thank you!"
He took the letters, opened them one by one, and checked the contents.
The content of each letter was more exciting than the last, and one of them was exactly what he was looking for.
"That's great, Cuihua, you are really my lucky star!" He happily put the letter away.
"There's the one you want, right?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
"Yes!" Ye Lixuan nodded vigorously.
Gu Xiaoxi said, "Remember, you owe me 10,400 taels of silver now. This time you owe me more, so you must write me an IOU."
IOU!
Ye Lixuan didn't react for a while.
Seeing Ye Lixuan's expression, Gu Xiaoxi thought he was trying to play dumb and get away with it, so she immediately stood up and said, "What? Are you going to deny your debt so soon?"
"No, no, I promise, I won't!" Ye Lixuan said solemnly.
This time, Cuihua not only found letters proving his innocence, but also found evidence that some people were collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country.
If he didn't want to reveal his identity, he would have given not ten thousand taels of silver, but one hundred thousand taels of silver.
After all, if these letters were sold, one million taels would be missing.
However, these things cannot be heard by this woman, lest she feel cheated.
"Let's go and find a place to write me an IOU. I have to hurry back." Gu Xiaoxi urged.
She was afraid that her two brothers would be waiting too impatiently in the city. Besides, it was not safe here. There were no old bald men around, and there were still human traffickers like Aunt Ma.
Ye Lixuan stood up cooperatively and then walked towards the main road.
On the way, Gu Xiaoxi thought of the men in black and said, "Oh, by the way, those three bald donkeys up there probably have no chance of survival. Before I came down, I ran into a group of men in black and asked them for something. I wonder if they wanted these letters?
I knocked out a man in black and found this on him."
After she finished speaking, she handed the token to Ye Lixuan. As for the matter of finding the jade pendant, she didn't intend to talk about it. Anyway, no one knew that it was her who took it.
As for the gold, silver and jewelry that were obtained, he must not be allowed to know about it.
Ye Lixuan said without any surprise after hearing this: "Those people have always wanted me dead, so it's normal for them to look for these things."
As they were talking, they walked to the side of the road and stopped a carriage heading to Yuncheng.
At this time, it was still dark and they arrived at the place where those people had stayed before.
When we got there, we saw that those people had been taken away and there was some blood on the ground.
They found a place to make a fire, sat down, and waited for the city gate to open so they could go in.
The weather was getting cold, and Gu Xiaoxi yawned repeatedly as she warmed herself up by the fire.
"If you're sleepy, take a nap. I'll call you when the city gate opens." Ye Lixuan said, looking at her tired appearance.
Gu Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "No, what if you run away while I'm sleeping?
Before, it was only two hundred taels of silver, not a big or small amount, but this time it’s ten thousand four hundred taels of silver, I dare not sleep."
Phew!
Ye Lixuan was amused by her cute appearance.
Cuihua is indeed the simplest village girl. She is simple-minded and very suitable to be his wife.
In order to avoid falling asleep, Gu Xiaoxi stood up and walked around.
Perseverance!
For ten thousand four hundred taels of silver, she would use a toothpick to prop up her eyelids.
Seeing how hard she was trying, Ye Lixuan couldn't help but laugh.
However, his physical strength was limited after all, and Gu Xiaoxi could not walk anymore after walking for a while.
So she returned to the fire and fell asleep leaning against the big tree.
Ye Lixuan was worried that she might fall to the ground if she fell asleep, so he simply let her head rest on his shoulder.
Puff puff!
The fire in the bonfire grew brighter and brighter, and he felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep unknowingly.
She slept until noon. When she woke up, she found the sun was at its zenith. She turned her head and saw someone sleeping soundly. She sighed and said, "It's a good thing he didn't run away!"
Ye Lixuan didn't remember how many days he hadn't slept well. Anyway, in order to find the letter, he only slept for an hour at most every day. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly.
"Hey, get up. If you want to sleep for a while, go to the inn and sleep." Gu Xiaoxi pushed Ye Lixuan.
It's not that she is cruel, it's that she is worried about her two brothers.
Ye Lixuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning with rage.
However, this anger was quickly extinguished by Gu Xiaoxi's words.
"What? Do you want to beat someone up?" Gu Xiaoxi said coldly.
hehe……
Ye Lixuan laughed when he heard this: "No one dares to beat you!"
"Why don't you get up yet?" Gu Xiaoxi urged.
"I, I've been sitting for too long and can't get up." Ye Lixuan stretched out his hand in a disrespectful manner.
Gu Xiaoxi...
I have the urge to cut off this claw.
However, considering the 10,400 taels of silver, she still lent a helping hand.
Ye Lixuan held Cuihua's hand, which felt soft and tender. Although there were some calluses on it, it didn't feel redundant at all.
Gu Xiaoxi pulled the man up, and the two of them walked to the side of the road. Opposite was the city gate, and they entered Yuncheng smoothly.
After arriving at the place, Ye Lixuan found the inn where his men were staying, borrowed paper and pen from the waiter, and wrote an IOU to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi ran back to the inn where her brothers were staying with the IOU. She went upstairs and knocked on her brothers' door, but it was not her brother who opened the door.
"Who are you?" the guest inside asked in confusion.
"Where are the guests who used to live here?" Gu Xiaoxi asked anxiously.
"How would I know? Go ask the waiter. I just moved in too." The guest said and closed the door.
Gu Xiaoxi hurried downstairs and came to the counter to ask the shopkeeper: "When did the two brothers upstairs check out?"
"I, how would I know? Anyway, since they didn't pay on time, I let the new guests stay." The shopkeeper's eyes were evasive, and he was obviously feeling guilty.
