Chapter 62: The Household God is a little abnormal next to him
When the household god arrives, he should stand up to greet him according to etiquette.
But Xie Yuchuan soon discovered that the family god's visit today seemed a little different from the past.
He lay on his side with his arm as a pillow, dozing off with even breathing. Tu Huan sat beside him with her knees hugged, watching the evening glow gradually give way to the night.
She said nothing, just stayed quietly among the Xie family.
It was very strange that the panic and uneasiness caused by Xie Huailuo's questioning just now slowly calmed down in the wilderness of Daliang.
She brought her knees together, rested her chin on them, curled up into a ball, and sat quietly next to Xie Yuchuan.
After leaving the car dealership, she went all the way home without any delay. After closing the doors and windows, she directly switched the system to the ancient Daliang Dynasty. She didn't even change into thick clothes, and pushed the door open and went out to look for someone.
While sorting out her thoughts, Tu Huan, who likes a peaceful life, realized that a gold ingot attracted the attention of a stranger, which was not a good thing.
When people sense danger, they tend to subconsciously find a safe place and hide themselves for a while.
When Tu Huan regained consciousness, she discovered that the place that made her feel at ease was actually this ancient place where no one could see her. Moreover, she had not realized that at this moment, she was so close to Xie Yuchuan.
After she calmed down, she turned her head and looked to her side.
Beside him, Xie Yuchuan was lying on his side, resting his head on his arm. His angular face had some messy hair scattered at his temples, and his thin jaw made people want to frown.
She’s become too thin due to all the work, Tu Huan thought.
The punishment in ancient times was such that even if the person didn’t die, he would still be skinned alive, which was something that people dared not experience.
Her eyes swept over his neck and she found that some of the minor external injuries had scabbed over and healed a lot. She felt much better when she saw it. Human life is both fragile and tough. She actually felt this contradictory aura in Xie Yuchuan.
It was a rare opportunity for Xie Yuchuan to rest during the journey, so she simply sat there quietly in a daze and did not send him any messages to disturb him.
As a freelance creator, Tu Huan's thoughts are always active most of the time. Any words or pictures in life can trigger her inspiration. She is used to her brain being busy all the time, but suddenly, everything calms down and slows down, which makes her feel so comfortable both physically and mentally.
The night in Daliang was a bit chilly, so cold that Tu Huan couldn't help but curl up even tighter. But without the hustle and bustle of Daliang during the day, she felt quite comfortable at this moment.
Xie Yuchuan lay on his side beside her, his slightly bent body just surrounding her like a crescent moon.
She had never observed his appearance up close. Every time she came, she felt that his face was pale, his eyes were deep, and his heart seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, like the abyss at the bottom of the sea, making it impossible to understand.
But when facing his family and communicating with her, he was a completely different person.
She found that Xie Yuchuan had little patience with outsiders, but was extremely patient with his family. He was very tolerant of his elders, his sister, and the other female members of the family.
The attitude towards her is another.
For a moment, Tu Huan couldn't describe what that feeling was.
Tu Huan thought, maybe it was because she could always inadvertently see the other side of his fluctuating mood through WeChat.
Looking closely at him, Xie Yuchuan indeed had a very handsome face, which matched her idea of an ancient general. He had high brows, a straight nose, and an unconcealable heroic aura from head to toe.
The men in the Xie family seemed to be good-looking. She looked at the two young men, Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie, and they were also good-looking.
Xie Yuchuan is too thin now, and his fierce aura has diminished a lot. It's no wonder that Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhou's eyes turned red when they saw him for the first time.
As she watched, Tu Huan suddenly felt a little jealous. Why did a grown man with long and thick eyelashes have such good looks?
She looked for a while, then turned her head and looked away.
The place where the exiled team rested this time was really far away from any village or shop, and it was not near a river. They just found a random place to rest on the road. At night, the sounds of animals in the wild could be heard faintly from all around. She found that even though everyone was resting, they were not resting well.
The escort officers only gave everyone a short rest time. She heard people whispering to each other and realized that the team had to rush all the way to Gaojia Village tonight before they could rest for the night.
Her attention quickly shifted to observing the actions of the officials in the distance. She left some of them to watch the fugitives, while the others huddled together, holding sticks and swords, to catch up on their sleep.
There are not as many trees here as on the Songjiang River, and there are not many places for people to lean on and rest. Many people simply lie down on the cold ground with their clothes on, regardless of whether it is comfortable or not.
She looked at the Xie family members beside her again. Well, they seemed to be in much better condition today than before.
You still need to be well fed and warmly clothed to be able to fight. She will go back later to see and get something for Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan lay on his side for a long time, without moving or opening his eyes.
The fragrance around him did not change in intensity at all. The household god had been by his side the entire time. From the moment the household god suddenly appeared until now, half an incense stick of time had passed, and he still hadn't heard the household god's voice.
Xie Yuchuan was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should wake up or not.
The household god came and stood still.
He didn't dare move.
Xie Yuchuan wondered if the household god knew that he could sense her presence by the intensity of the fragrance?
He kept this little secret quietly in his heart and never mentioned it.
Tu Huan really didn't know that Xie Yuchuan had already noticed her presence.
The night wind makes people feel cold to the bone.
Tu Huan was wearing too little and felt a little overwhelmed. In addition, after relaxing physically and mentally, she felt hungry.
"Let's go back to the house and have some food first."
Tu Huan had made up her mind. Anyway, there were still three or four days before Jiang Li's wedding at the weekend. The things she bought online would take two or three days to arrive at the earliest. She was not in a hurry to go back, so as not to be targeted by some random people again.
This time I will stay in ancient times for a few days and follow the Xie family to visit Gaojia Village in front.
She also wanted to see with her own eyes what the small villages where ordinary people lived in ancient times looked like.
He turned around and looked at Xie Yuchuan who was "sleeping soundly" on the ground.
Forget it, let him sleep a little longer.
Tu Huan left.
A pair of eyes slowly opened.
Xie Yuchuan's gaze fell on the open space in front of him, with a dark light floating in his eyes.
He sat up from the ground, resting his left arm lightly on his bent knees, and with the fingertips of his other hand gently lifted the loose hair on his forehead, revealing a pair of deep eyes filled with a hint of confusion and puzzlement.
He always felt that the behavior of the household god tonight was a little abnormal.
"Sixth brother, have you rested well? The escort officers are preparing to set off."
Xie Wenjie behind him reminded him.
Xie Yuchuan gathered his thoughts, nodded, stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's not safe in the wild at night. Men should try to walk outside."
"Okay, I'll pass it on."
After a short rest, the exile team set off again.
This time, many people noticed that the men of the Xie family tried to walk on the outside, while protecting the women of the Xie family inside.
Everyone was confused for a moment. What was this for?
