Grain Rain
When setting out on the road to the north, Gui Yao specifically mentioned that she wanted to ride a horse.
She imagined herself galloping across the prairie, and the gene in her body that allowed her to bend the bow and shoot the eagle suddenly awakened. She blinked at Ren Beixi curiously.
"I want to learn archery."
Ren Beixi thought about it for a moment, and then took his most useful weapon with him before heading north.
Guiyao is only thankful that there were no security checks in ancient times.
No, what is there to be afraid of? She and her husband are going to the north of An Dynasty to play, not to the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
On the fifth day after setting out from Xianyu City, she had her period. She had already gotten used to the bumpy ride on horseback, but when she arrived at the post station, she still couldn't help crying out in pain.
Ren Bei attacked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Gui Yao was crying, with Ren Beixi's palm protecting the hot water bottle on her belly. She shook her head a little aggrievedly.
"It doesn't hurt here..."
Gui Yao leaned into his arms and showed him the red and swollen marks on her thighs from riding horses.
Ren Beixi was slightly stunned.
His furrowed brows were poked by her fingertips, but his face was still full of worry.
Gui Yao is not incapable of enduring hardship. These days, she applies her own ointment whenever Ren Beixi goes out, but she finds it unbearable to meet the man's distressed eyes.
"How about we buy a carriage tomorrow and sell it when we get north?"
Guiyao blinked.
The man rarely listened to what she said. He just lowered his eyes with concern and stared at the red and swollen spot. When Gui Yao tried to stop him with red eyes, he kissed her red and swollen scar.
Guiyao's ears felt hot: "It's a little itchy, don't kiss me."
Then the carriage was never sold again.
Luohan City is located in the north of Anchao.
Because of its special location, in addition to Luohan Mansion, the Renjia Military Town stationed on the border has comparable power.
Gui Yao listened to Ren Beixi's introduction all the way.
The current leader of the military town is his other deputy. He also mentioned Zheng Yuan. It was Qingming Festival before they set out.
Now, several people from the general's mansion took the tortoise shell cat and Ah Ji to Shuxi Mountain to burn incense and offer sacrifices.
He said that the deputy commander of the military town was also named Ren.
"You were the one who saved him too?" Gui Yao inferred using Xiao Hui's logic.
Ren Beixi patted her head and said, "Uncle Ren is my father's sworn brother, and the last name is just a coincidence."
"You'll like him," he said.
Gui Yao didn't understand why he was so confident before, but when she stepped into Junjun Town and saw Uncle Ren for the first time, her heart skipped a beat.
This general, who was of the same rank as Ren Beixi, had a particularly kind look in his eyes, and what made it even harder to refuse was...
Uncle Ren looks exactly like a Tibetan fox.
Gui Yao realized it belatedly and hit Ren Beixi on the back. She liked small animals, not people who looked like small animals.
She didn't understand where Ren Beixi's misunderstanding came from.
But Uncle Ren was really nice. He knew she was coming and prepared a big red envelope for her.
Gui Yao blinked and didn't dare to take it. Ren Beixi beside her took it for her. If this continued, the three of them would patrol the military town again.
I received a barrage of "Hello, General! Hello, Madam!"
Gui Yao had become desensitized since she heard that sound in Wuhua City, and she smiled and waved to everyone.
The soldiers looked very energetic. At noon, you could even see young soldiers running to the kitchen while eating steamed buns.
Ren Beixi held his forehead with his hand.
Guiyao, however, squinted her eyes and looked quite cheerful, saying, "Peace is so good."
The first day in Luohan City ended here.
The young couple stayed in the military town temporarily. Ren Beixi said that he would take her to the mountains to play when the wind and snow subsided the next day or the day after.
The man looked at her happy expression, and stroked the many plans he had listed on the rice paper in his hand with his fingertips. Then he realized that the cold was not hardship at all.
"Yes, you can build snowmen and make ice sculptures... I don't know how to do that." Gui Yaoru felt something.
Although it was already late spring, it was still so cold in Luohan City that people were unwilling to leave Ren Beixi. When she got to the bed, she just wanted to snuggle in the man's arms. The only bad thing was that he always had to react to her when she tried to keep warm.
Guiyao snorted.
Ren Beixi asked, "Are there dogs pulling sleds?"
Gui Yao blushed as she moved closer, her moist almond eyes filled with longing: "Can I?"
In her mind, she heard him trying to find a few wolves for her to pull, but she shook her head violently and thought, forget it.
The room was sealed tightly, and no snowflakes could be seen, but the only sound of water melting from the snow could be heard late at night.
"Aren't you going to ask me about the north in my dreams?"
"No question."
"Okay then." Gui Yao lay on Ren Beixi's knees and looked up at him. "Would you like to tell me about the north you have seen? I want to hear it."
Ren Beixi's voice was deep, "It was cold and hard. When I was young, I was afraid of patrolling the border. The one that left the deepest impression on me was the battle when I was surrounded by the generals of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom and trapped on the lake where the snow was about to melt."
"My warhorse was shot, a horse that could withstand the harsh winter. I had hoped to ride it back victorious."
"I shared a bowl of hot porridge with a child on the roadside. When we withdrew, I learned that he had already passed away."
"Is it the battle of Zhuolutai?" Gui Yao asked softly.
"no."
“There are many such times.”
Gui Yao rested her palms on his thighs, leaned closer, and gently placed a kiss under his eyelashes.
She licked the tip of her tongue.
“Salty.”
Ren Beixi buried his face in Guiyao's neck.
He laughed hoarsely.
Guiyao felt a little itchy because of him.
"I remember, my husband. I just hope you can stay in my dreams too."
"Yes, Yaoyao, in our dreams."
This will be a good dream.
On the day of Grain Rain, the heavy snow that had fallen throughout the winter inside and outside the city stopped quietly.
