Chapter 469 Jiji Extra (12)
Because they needed supplies, Jiji and Xun Pei'er stayed in the county town for two days. During these two nights, Pei'er slept in bed, and Jiji, as before, sat at the head of her bed to guard against any bad guys who took advantage of the situation.
On the last night, Pearl could bear it no longer.
"Husband, can you please go to bed tonight and let me take care of the night?" she begged. "You haven't slept for several nights. It's not good for your health."
Jiji patted her little head and said, "Silly girl, your husband is a fortune teller. It doesn't matter whether a fortune teller sleeps or not."
Pei Er pouted: "I don't care, you are a fortune teller, so what? You are still a human being. When people are tired, they need to sleep."
With the support of spiritual power, a fortune teller can go without sleep for a long time.
People like Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu don't sleep for weeks when they are busy.
Having said that, physical fatigue will still accumulate to a certain extent, and unless meditation replaces sleep, it may affect people's thinking and judgment.
Looking at Pearl's watery eyes, Gigi really couldn't bear it anymore.
He set up a small barrier for the room, and if anyone broke in, he would wake up immediately and be on guard.
The advantage of doing this is that you can rest assured and get early warning. The disadvantage is that if there are high-level fortune tellers among the people being pursued by the other party, it will be easy to detect the barrier and find their hiding place, and then the two sides will clash again.
He would not expose Pearl to danger.
Gigi took off her coat, folded it and put it aside, then slept next to Pearl, just like she had many times before.
It's embarrassing to say that we have been married for half a year, but we don't even sleep in separate beds, let alone doing the things we love.
Fortunately, Pearl doesn't care about those things and feels more comfortable wrapped in a small quilt.
But today they had no choice. There was only one big quilt in the room, so they had to squeeze together.
Gigi didn't know whether she felt guilty or something, but she didn't dare touch Pei'er when she went to bed. She lay cautiously next to the bed.
Pearl fell asleep quickly. Hearing her breathing become even, Gigi thought about getting up as it was too hot in the quilt.
As soon as he lifted the quilt a little, he felt a tightening around his waist, and a delicate, weak and boneless arm wrapped around his body.
Before he could react, Pearl pressed down on him, resting her little head on his back.
Is this... a hint?
Gigi is very nervous. Although their relationship has been heating up recently, it is too fast to move directly to this step. He is not ready yet!
Besides, what if I get pregnant during the journey?
Gigi took a deep breath and prepared to explain it to her in detail. She had to be careful with her words so as not to cause her to misunderstand and get hurt.
After all, it is rare for women to take the initiative in such matters, and if they are rejected, they will definitely have some thoughts in their mind.
Gigi took a deep breath, turned around carefully, and prepared to start his speech.
Looking back, Pei'er was already fast asleep again, with her limbs spread out like an upside-down mouse, and a little saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Gigi: “…”
Sure enough, he was overthinking it. The other person was just treating him as a pillow!
…
After waking up, neither of them mentioned what happened last night - Ji Ji didn't dare to mention it, and Xun Pei'er just fell asleep - and they set off in a hurry.
Before leaving, Jiji wrote a letter and sent it to the Xun family in the capital. He chose this time to send it in order to avoid enemies hiding in the dark.
In addition, he also sent several letters at the same time, only one of which mentioned the real situation. The others only wrote about daily scenery and Xun Pei'er's affairs to confuse the public.
The two left Luzhou County and headed west.
Whenever they were unsure of the direction, they would stop to observe the stars, analyze the guidance of the stars together, and continue to move forward following the guidance of heaven.
Finally, God led them to the distant west coast.
They had been on this journey for two full years.
"Wow, such fine and beautiful sand!" Xun Pei'er threw away her shoes without saying a word and ran barefoot on the beach.
After two years of running around, her skin is no longer as delicate as before, and her body is no longer as frail and delicate as before. Instead, she exudes a healthy and energetic aura.
This is what Gigi wants to see of her.
"Be careful, there may be gravel in the sand." Gigi had no choice but to hold her shoes for her and chase after her.
"If there is, then there is." Pei'er happily buried her feet in the sand, "Come here, I can bury you."
"Nonsense." Gigi said it seriously, but the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed him.
They found two large rocks, sat on them to rest, and shared some dry food and water.
"We're finally here." As it was getting dark, Gigi started to get nervous.
Can he really see the real stars in the Far West?
How different is the sky here from the sky in Beijing?
Night falls, it is another moonless night, and stars emerge one after another.
Gigi's hope gradually turned into disappointment.
The starry sky was still the same as before. He had seen it countless times, and there was no change at all.
He's been gone for two years, and this is the result?
Or is it that he doesn't have enough experience and can't get the real results?
Xun Pei'er sat beside him and felt the same sense of loss, not for herself, but because she was worried that her husband's hope would be extinguished.
What exactly is wrong?
"Perhaps, the time has not come yet." She tried to comfort Gigi, "Let's stay here and wait a little longer. After all, you can ask the Emperor for five or six years' leave. We have time."
What else could he do? Gigi nodded reluctantly and took her hand back.
It's nice to have someone by his side.
If he were alone, he might fall into crazy self-doubt again.
I doubted whether I was qualified to be a descendant of the Shen family, and whether I was too stupid to see through the mystery...
"Husband, look!" Xun Pei'er suddenly cried out in surprise, "There are flying stars!"
A flying star? Jiji looked up suddenly and saw a star larger than ordinary stars streaking across the sky, dragging a long tail behind it as it flew towards the west!
What is that! He has been stargazing for so long and has never seen anything like it!
"Husband! It must be telling us to go further west!" Xun Pei'er said excitedly, "We haven't reached the westernmost end yet!"
"You're right!" Gigi stood up excitedly. "This must be God's guidance for us!"
After the star completely disappeared, he suddenly hugged Xun Pei'er.
"It's a good thing I have you, Pei'er, otherwise I would have been so dejected that I missed the most important star." He hugged her very tightly, as if he was afraid that his Pei'er would be snatched away by someone else.
"I didn't do anything. I was just holding you back all the way." Pei'er was almost out of breath and pushed him away with great effort.
"I believe that sincerity can move mountains. You've worked hard to get here. Even if you miss this one, there will be another one. God will not let you down."
Gigi leaned against her hair.
How could I possibly have you, Pearl?
This was the only thought in his mind at the moment.
