◎As if it was some precious treasure◎
The girl's pampered nature was fully demonstrated on the first day on the road.
Maybe there was no one she liked on the road this time, or maybe it was because He Ziqing's promise gave her confidence. In short, An Jiu showed her temper as a young lady without any scruples.
"The cushion of this carriage is so hard that my butt hurts! Pei Ji, give me your cushion."
There were only two of them in the car, so Pei Ji was the only one suffering.
But he had to agree to her.
If he ignored her request, this spoiled young lady would disturb him while he was reading, pour out his tea, and step on his feet under the table...
He is unreasonable and makes trouble everywhere, like a very naughty child.
Pei Ji pulled out the cushion from his back and handed it to the girl beside him helplessly.
An Jiuyi took the cushion, put it under his little butt without hesitation, sat down firmly, and then squinted his eyes comfortably.
The comfortable girl finally calmed down temporarily. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and read the notebook she brought with her. As she read, her eyelids drooped as the carriage swayed slightly. Unconsciously, she rested her arms on the table and lowered her head.
Pei Ji accidentally came back to his senses from the medical book and saw the girl lying on the table, with her jet-black hair draped behind her, hanging in the air and floating leisurely.
She rested her head in her arms, her face turned towards him, her bright features half-hidden, her cheeks slightly flushed.
From time to time, a few rays of light shone through the car window behind her, falling on the girl's thick eyelashes and casting a small fan-shaped shadow.
Pei Ji's gaze was fixed on the beautiful face of Furong. This was the first time he looked at her face without any emotion.
Even he had to admit that this woman did have a beautiful face.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the sleeping girl suddenly frowned and half opened her eyes unhappily.
Before Pei Ji looked away, their eyes suddenly collided and Pei Ji was stunned for a moment.
The girl had delicate eyebrows and eyes with deep sleepiness in them. A hint of crystal clear water overflowed from her eye sockets. Her pupils were black and big, like two clear mirrors, reflecting his small shadow.
He looks like an innocent child who knows nothing yet.
The next moment, the girl half-raised her head and said sleepily, "Pei Ji, I'm cold."
Pei Ji: “…”
She looked at him without blinking and asked in a non-questioning tone: "Can you give me your blanket?"
Pei Ji had disabled legs and was numb below the waist. To prevent frostbite, he often covered his legs with a blanket to keep warm.
After staring at the girl for a while, the young man in white slowly lifted the blanket from his legs.
The girl immediately took it without hesitation, covered herself with the blanket, and then fell asleep on the table.
The sleeping girl's face became peaceful and calm, as innocent as a child, but Pei Ji would no longer have any illusions.
She was still the stupid and vicious Anjiu in his impression, able to snatch things from disabled people without any scruples.
An Jiu had a comfortable sleep and when he woke up it was already noon and time for lunch.
The carriage stopped on the road. He Ziqing and others got off the horses and went to the woods nearby to hunt and collect firewood. An Jiu and Pei Ji stayed on the grass by the roadside, and Ah Qi was responsible for guarding the two of them.
"Okay, I'll return the blanket to you." An Jiu returned the blanket to Pei Ji.
Pei Ji took it and was about to cover his legs with it, but he paused imperceptibly.
The blanket seemed to be stained with a sweet and subtle fragrance.
He subconsciously raised his eyes, but the culprit had already run away happily and went to pick flowers in the field nearby.
After a moment of silence, he slowly put the blanket back on.
The soft sweet fragrance enveloped him in an instant, lingering in his nostrils for a long time.
"Xiaoyin, are you hungry? Go find something to eat by yourself."
On the other side, An Jiu squatted in the flowers, stretched out her wrist, and watched the small snake like a silver bracelet on her wrist swim down her finger, hissed at her twice, and then disappeared into the dense green grass.
From the memory of his original body, An Jiu learned that Xiaoyin eats once a week or so. If the weather is cold for a longer period of time, it can go without food for three months in winter and remain in hibernation the whole time.
Usually, the original body would order people to catch the little mouse and put it in the house to let it
?
Hunting. Because Xiaoyin doesn't eat dead mice.
So An Jiu let the little guy out with peace of mind and let it find food on its own.
An Jiu let the little snake go and then walked back.
Not long after, He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan came back with two pheasants and a handful of wild fruits. They handled the pheasants skillfully, made a fire and grilled the meat, and seemed to be very experienced.
In fact, they also brought dry food, but they were all pancakes. There were not so many varieties of dry food in that era, and only pancakes were easy to carry and not easy to deteriorate.
They were all martial artists who were good at hunting, so they naturally didn't want to eat dry and tasteless cakes, so they would barbecue every time they went out.
However, even when they were grilling, the techniques of these people were very rough. An Jiu couldn't bear to watch it any more, so he started to give orders without stopping.
She has participated in modern BBQ many times. After all, many business deals are negotiated at dinner parties. An Jiu often makes appointments with people to discuss cooperation at holiday resorts or hotels. They play together first, and when they have fun and feel refreshed, the cooperation will be reached.
"You can stuff some champignons into the chicken's stomach to make it more flavorful."
"Turn around, turn around, it's going to burn."
"Brush some honey here, yes, apply an even layer."
“Break the fruit open and pour the juice on the flesh.”
The eldest lady only talked but did not do anything, and ordered the three people except Pei Ji around.
Lin Qingyan's face did not look good. If she did not have good upbringing, she really would not want to bring this difficult Miss An with her.
She would occasionally take a carriage on the road before, but this time, in order to avoid An Jiu, she didn't even take a carriage.
Ah Qi was not so good-tempered and could not help but question loudly: "Brushing honey on the meat and pouring fruit juice on it, what kind of practice is this? Is this meat still edible?"
Although he was shouting loudly, his master did not give any instructions and was just looking at them with a smile. Ah Qi did not dare to stop.
Little did he know that at this moment his young master was thinking, after tormenting him all morning, he finally started to torment others, shouldn't he watch carefully?
An Jiu put his hands on his hips and said in a louder voice than Ah Qi: "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it after it's cooked!"
Ah Qi's arrogance instantly subsided, and he muttered quietly: "I didn't say I don't want to eat."
People who practice martial arts need a lot of energy. Without meat, they will feel listless all day long.
As the barbecue is cooked, the juice and wild honey are poured on it and blend into the meat. Finally, a pinch of pepper is sprinkled on it. Immediately, an enticing aroma floats in the air, making people salivate.
"It smells so good!" Ah Qi couldn't help but say.
Miss An was very proud. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, she raised her chin and snorted, and said with great joy: "This is the barbecue technique that the royal chef from His Majesty taught my family. Are you convinced now? Do you still want to eat it?"
Ah Qi nodded repeatedly and said while swallowing his saliva: "Eat, eat, eat!"
Everyone was so satisfied with the meal that even Lin Qingyan, who was reluctant at first, couldn't help but soften her expression.
After all, food is the most important thing for people, and appetite is something that no one can resist.
These people usually slept in the open air, no one knew how to cook, and lived a very rough life. Now there was a person with superb cooking skills, even if An Jiu was powerless, he had created some value.
In short, An Jiu successfully integrated into the protagonist group with just this meal.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and continued their journey in the afternoon.
An Jiu leaned on the car window and chatted with Ah Qi who was driving outside: "Ah Qi, where are we going?"
Ah Qi had already been bribed by the roast chicken at noon, and his attitude towards An Jiu was no longer as unpleasant as before. He replied, "Didn't the master tell you? We are going to Pinglan City."
"Why would Pei Ji tell me that?"
The big fool Ah Qi scratched his head and said honestly, "I thought he told you that an unknown epidemic was discovered in Pinglan City. Pinglan City belongs to Huashan territory, and Huashan sent a letter to ask you to go and treat the disease."
An Jiu nodded with sudden realization, but in fact he was recalling the original plot in his heart.
Of course, the book also mentions the trip to Pinglan City, but it was not an epidemic, but a man-made disaster targeting the Huashan Sect.
She turned her eyes to the young man in white sitting in the car. He did not use a jade hairpin to tie his hair today. Instead, he tied his black hair behind his head with a snow-white silk ribbon. A few strands of hair hung on the side of his face. His clear and elegant eyebrows fell on the book in his hand, adding a bit of gentleness and elegance.
Since he was reborn, why did he still follow the path of his previous life? Wasn't he afraid of repeating the same mistakes?
The young man who was being stared at by her raised his eyelids slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Miss An, are you thirsty again?"
An Jiu shook his head subconsciously, "No."
"Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry."
Pei Ji was silent for a moment, then reached for the blanket on his legs: "Do you want to sleep?"
An Jiu was in a state of confusion, she had even given the second villain a PTSD. She was worthy of it!
Didn't she just ask him to pour tea four or five times, sometimes scented tea, sometimes black tea, sometimes plain tea, and had to stop the car to go to the toilet several times, drag Pei Ji to exchange books with him, ask him to read to her when she got tired of reading, ask him to peel the dried fruits when she didn't want to, and accidentally stepped on him several times when she fell asleep...
It makes her seem like she is very difficult to please.
An Jiu coughed, ignoring the slight guilt in his heart, and blinked and asked: "Pei Ji, you said before that you have a way to open up my meridians so that I can practice martial arts, what is it?"
After he finished speaking, An Jiu inexplicably felt that Pei Ji seemed to be relieved, and his straight back even relaxed a little.
He smiled and said, "It's a medicinal bath. Add the medicine into the tub and let the hot air enter the body to soften the tendons and veins."
An Jiu nodded, "There's nothing we can do now."
Pei Ji said: "If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to reach Pinglan City the day after tomorrow. It will be soon." Suddenly he changed the subject and asked, "Why does Miss An suddenly want to learn martial arts?"
An Jiu's eyelashes drooped. She didn't say anything, but her fingers unconsciously touched a green bamboo whistle hanging on her chest, and a layer of vague loss shrouded her brows.
Pei Ji's eyes flashed. He knew that she would blow the bamboo whistle whenever she had time these days. However, as time passed, the whistle was sounded less and less frequently.
Perhaps because she had been disappointed so many times, she had realized that it was just a trick used by others to deceive her.
Despite this, she still strung it on a colorful rope and hung it on her chest.
As if it was some precious treasure.
So, she wanted to learn martial arts because of him?
The author has something to say:
Entering Miss An's territory and being dominated by her from then on - this is Pei Pei's destined fate.
