Chapter 124 They are all pretending to sleep!
After Xu Zhiyi helped set up the tent, he carried the quilt on the top of the mule cart inside and spread it out.
Su simply cooked a pot of noodle dumpling soup, which was both filling and warming.
Because the weather was cold, everyone went back to their tents and lay down in bed after dinner.
The next day, everyone had to start a new day on the road. In the carriage, Shen Changan accidentally bumped into Xu Zhiyi who was sitting next to him, and found that her hands were very cold. He glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had their eyes closed to rest.
Then he reached out, grabbed Xu Zhiyi's hands, and helped her warm them.
Xu Zhiyi was sitting with his eyes closed, feeling a little sleepy. He had not slept well last night. The weather was hot and they were camping outside. Apart from being bitten by mosquitoes occasionally, he had no trouble sleeping.
But now the weather is cold! She found that no matter how she rolled up the quilt at night, it was not warm enough. She curled up here and there all night long and woke up several times before dawn.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of warm hands holding my hands. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Shen Changan. I wanted to pull my hands back: "Changan, you don't have to cover my hands. My hands are very cold. Don't let us both be cold later."
When Shen Changan saw that she was awake and looked at her slightly swollen eyes, he knew that Xu Zhiyi did not sleep well last night. He reached out and hugged her, letting her sleep on his shoulder: "My wife, sleep on my shoulder."
"Also, I'm not cold, my hands are warm, I'll warm your hands too."
Suddenly, everyone in the car changed their posture collectively and turned their heads to the other side, completely avoiding the direction of Xu Zhiyi and Shen Changan.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyi wanted to pull his hand away, but Shen Changan held it tightly. He had no choice but to lean over and whisper to him: "Changan, they are all pretending to sleep."
Hearing this, Shen Changan responded in a low voice: "We didn't do anything, I just warmed my wife's hands, I'm not ashamed"
After hearing what Shen Changan said, Xu Zhiyi realized, yes! She didn't do anything, why should she be embarrassed? Thinking of this, there was nothing awkward, and she leaned on Shen Changan's shoulder to catch up on her sleep.
Half an hour later, Su Ze went out to take over and changed Shen Wuyou into the carriage.
When Shen Wuyou came in, he saw the two holding hands and sleeping together, and glanced at the other empty seat next to Xu Zhiyi.
Thinking that he had just come in from outside and was very cold from the wind, in order to prevent Xu Zhiyi from touching his cold self, he deliberately sat in a small space and stayed as far away from Xu Zhiyi as possible.
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, after eighteen days of travel, we finally arrived at Cangshan City. The last city we have to pass through, the next city is our destination, Nanzhou City!
As expected, buying horses and mules made the journey faster. The journey that would normally take about 40 days on foot now only takes 18 days!
Cangshan City, after queuing up to register at the city gate to enter the city, I found an inn to stay in first, planning to rest in the city for a day before continuing on my journey.
After randomly finding an inn and parking the mule, everyone unloaded their bags, checked into their rooms and started moving.
The innkeeper saw the mule and said, "Sir, if you have livestock, the inn only charges five copper coins a day. We provide fodder for the livestock, and we will help take care of it. We guarantee that the mule will be in good health while you are on the road!"
Upon hearing this, the village head thought the five copper coins were acceptable, so he nodded in agreement.
After everyone booked a room, they each took their number plates and went upstairs to put their luggage.
When Su was sorting her bags, she found that she had taken the wrong one. Qin's clothes were inside. Afraid that she would be looking for them, she took the bags and went out.
Xu Zhiyi was left in the room sorting out the clothes for washing later, when he suddenly heard Shen Wuyou's exclamation from the next room.
Xu Zhiyi hurriedly ran to the next room and pushed the door open. When he saw the situation inside, he stood still.
Shen Changan was seen standing in the middle of the room, practicing his legs hard. He limped four steps, each step was accompanied by a slight tremor, and his body rose and fell with each step, looking very strenuous.
Then when he wanted to take the fifth step, his legs were out of control and he couldn't move forward. He tried for a long time but still failed. He was exhausted and fell to the ground.
"elder brother"
"Chang'an"
Xu Zhiyi looked at Shen Changan who fell to the ground, and hurriedly supported him: "You can't rush this matter. Isn't it a great progress now? Take it slowly, it will get better. If you force yourself like this, what if your leg is injured again?"
Hearing this, Shen Changan smiled and said, "My wife, I am very happy now. I can walk! I just tried twice and walked a total of eight steps."
"You can practice every day, but don't force yourself to practice, or it will backfire and hurt your legs, understand?"
Shen Changan nodded: "Madam, I know what's going on, don't worry"
Shen Wuyou: "Madam, I'm here! I will definitely supervise my brother and will never let him rush for quick success"
"I'm afraid that by then you two brothers will be breathing through the same air."
Shen Wuyou: "I won't"
Shen Changan: "I only listen to my wife"
"Okay, I believe you two."
Xu Zhiyi thought that since he was already here, he might as well help Shen Changan massage his legs before going back.
Half an hour later, Xu Zhiyi took Shen Wuyou downstairs carrying a wooden barrel. The inn provided hot water for free, and the guests staying in the inn had to fetch water themselves if they needed it.
As the two were carrying water upstairs, a furious voice rang out from the upper room opposite: "Both of you get out!"
When Xu Zhiyi heard the furious roar, she actually felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had heard this voice before.
Then two maids came out of the room.
"Why is she so proud? What an ungrateful bastard."
"Ouch, shut up! Or she might hear you and punish you again."
"I won't. If Madam hadn't seen her being beaten half to death by the pawnbrokers, she would have bought her out of kindness. She would have seen how skinny she was along the way, and how many good things she had given her would have gone into her dog's stomach!"
"As a result, after she recovered, she couldn't wait to seduce the master. Bah, shameless, she actually seduced the master to roll in the haystack with her in the wilderness. How come she didn't freeze to death?"
"She hasn't even been brought back to the mansion to be officially recognized as a concubine. She's not even a concubine yet, but she's acting like the master of the house. Ugh..."
"You're going to die! You're going to die! If you're so angry that you want to say it, wait until I'm far away and then you can yell as much as you want, okay?"
"Humph, I just can't stand her shameless behavior, and I'm also speaking up for Madam. Fortunately, Madam is kind-hearted and didn't punish her."
Shen Wuyou saw Xu Zhiyi beside him stopped walking: "Madam? What's wrong?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Did you hear that roar just now? Did it sound familiar to you?"
"Hmm? Oh, ma'am, are you talking about the angry cursing of the two women just now?"
Xu Zhiyi shook his head when he heard this: "It's okay, it might be an illusion!"
