Chapter 112 The body is the most important
"You guys are back, you must be hungry."
Shitou's wife, who was standing by, was relieved to see that the two children did not scare Mo Yu.
"What a coincidence! Shitou went to buy some meat and I'm going to make some wontons for you guys to try."
When Lu Wanyin looked at Shitou's wife, her expression was completely different from Hou Yuanji's gentleness: "How could you dislike me? I'm still craving for yours! Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
This family is kind-hearted and they have raised good children.
Hou Yuanji was also very happy when he heard that there would be wontons to eat.
The weather is getting colder and colder, especially when I was lying on the ground just now, the cold air seemed to penetrate directly into my bones.
It’s such a blessing to have a bowl of hot wontons.
Lu Wanyin didn't want to pay any attention to him and patted Mo Yu's head soothingly.
He then took Xie Jingci from Xuan Qi's hand and supported him: "Xuan Qi, you go and help, I will help the general back to the room."
There was a lot to do today, and she still had to discuss some issues with Xie Jingci.
Xuan Qi took the order and left.
Watching Lu Wanyin and the other person walking towards their residence, Hou Yuanji hesitated for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and followed.
How could Lu Wanyin not notice? She helped Xie Jingci stand up and turned to look at him: "What's wrong with you?"
Hou Yuanji shuddered at Lu Wanyin's gaze and quickly forced out a flattering smile: "Well, when are we going to continue our journey? Time is really not enough."
More than just not enough
It's completely different.
The task assigned to him by the emperor to assassinate Xie Jingci was obviously impossible to complete.
Now he just wanted to set off as soon as possible and shorten the time it takes to reach the wilderness.
When he returns to Beijing to be punished, he will suffer less.
Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci exchanged glances and called out, "Xuan Qi."
The village chief's house was not big, and if he shouted at the front door, he could be heard in the bedroom.
Xuan Qi had just entered the kitchen door and was about to help chop wood when he heard the call.
He decisively threw the axe aside and dodged.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xie Jingci: "General."
Xie Jingci nodded his chin in the direction of Hou Yuanji and said, "Master Hou has been traveling so fast these days and hasn't had enough rest. Let's take him to a place where he can rest and recuperate. We will set off tomorrow morning."
"No, sir, sir—"
Hou Yuanji hurriedly tried to deny it, but Lu Wanyin supported Xie Jingci and walked away.
He opened his mouth, and Mo Yu, who was following behind Lu Wanyin, turned his head and hissed in her direction.
If he said any more, he would have to swallow it back quickly.
At this time today, they were already on the road.
These two disappeared for a whole day, completely delaying everything.
It looks like I'll have to stay here for another night.
It's bad luck to meet these two people.
Hou Yuanji resigned himself to his fate and turned around, preparing to go to the kitchen to wait for his wontons.
But as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Xuan Qi.
"What are you—"
Before he could even shout angrily, his body lost its balance and he was pushed to the ground by Xuan Qi.
Hou Yuanji was completely stunned: "Xuan Qi, what are you doing? Let me go."
Xuan Qi said seriously, "No. Our general said that we have to find a place for you to rest and recuperate."
Hou Yuanji was furious: "What kind of resting place is this? Let go."
"No."
Xuan Qi's voice was firm: "This house is small to begin with. I looked around and think this is the only place that won't be a problem."
Hou Yuanji was so angry that his head hurt. He struggled to get up: "How dare you attack an official appointed by the imperial court? Let me get up."
He had just struggled to get up halfway when Xuan Qi pushed him back to the ground: "Sir, you need to rest."
Hou Yuanji struggled: "I don't want to rest! Even if I want to rest, I can't do it here."
Boom.
This time, Xuan Qi even pressed Hou Yuanji's head back to the ground: "Sir, don't be willful. Your health is the most important thing."
Hou Yuanji was so angry that he couldn't speak.
This bastard did it on purpose, right?
No, the three of them, the master and the servant, must have done it on purpose.
Lu Wanyin supported Xie Jingci and did not walk far. She stood in an inconspicuous corner and watched.
Seeing that Xuan Qi had completely subdued Hou Yuanji, Lu Wanyin was pleased: "This Xuan Qi is also a talent."
It is rare to find a subordinate who is efficient and understands his master's thoughts.
Xie Jingci's gentle gaze passed over her face: "If Madam needs help, please feel free to ask."
Lu Wanyin shook her head and laughed: "I was just talking. If anything happened to me, would you, as my husband, just stand by and watch?"
"Of course not."
Xie Jingci leaned half of his body on Lu Wanyin.
Even though there was no one here, he still acted very cautiously.
After helping Xie Jingci in and sitting him down, Lu Wanyin checked to make sure no one was around before closing the door.
She checked everything she had taken from Song Jiuning and asked, "What do you think of Song Jiuning?"
"not simple."
Xie Jingci looked at the contents of the box and said, "These things are not something that any Medicine King disciple can make."
Lu Wanyin checked the contents thoroughly.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, it was put back into the space.
She said, "She is not only not shy about this kind of deceitful and disobedient behavior, but is actually extremely interested in it. I'm afraid this could be a turning point."
"So what if there are variables? Aren't there enough variables that you and I have encountered?"
When the two were alone together, Xie Jingci was much more relaxed.
He held the teapot in his hand.
The water from last night has turned completely cold.
He poured the water naturally and secretly used his internal energy.
After a while, hot steam began to rise from the water surface.
He handed the bowl to Lu Wanyin: "Xuan Qi has already sent people to keep an eye on that place. Any movement will be reported to you and me immediately."
Lu Wanyin held the bowl of water to warm her hands, feeling a little envious of Xie Jingci's skill.
It’s good to have inner strength.
Unlike her, she can only survive the winter by relying on her equipment and the integrity she developed in the extreme cold weather of the doomsday.
Lu Wanyin drank some warm water and felt much more relaxed.
She exhaled hotly, "But, you can't watch too closely. People with ability are always proud. It would be bad if a rift arose."
Xie Jingci's arrangement made Lu Wanyin feel at ease.
Yes, the changes they have experienced are not enough.
They were inexplicably married off, and when they opened their eyes again, their homes were confiscated and they were exiled.
What bigger variables could there be?
Just then, there was a sound of crying and shouting outside.
You can tell from the voices that it’s the Xie family.
We didn't stay together for one night and went out for the whole day.
After not seeing the Xie family for such a long time, Lu Wanyin felt refreshed.
If she hadn't suddenly heard this voice, she would have almost forgotten about that group of people.
Lu Wanyin sighed and drank the water in one gulp: "I'll go out and take a look."
If she were alone, she wouldn't even look at those people even if they cried to death.
But the village chief and his family are all innocent.
If they don't show up, they will be the ones who suffer.
Xie Jingci stood up with her.
As he reached the door, he put his arm around her shoulders.
He transformed into Xie Jingci, a useless man with powerless limbs, with great skill.
Lu Wanyin was already used to it, so she helped him walk out.
When passing by the yard, Hou Yuanji was still being pressed to the ground by Xuan Qi, with a look of despair on his face.
Upon seeing the two, his eyes lit up and he became more energetic: "You two, help me, your subordinate is completely crazy! He actually forced me to rest here."
Is this a resting place?
