Chapter 87 Isn’t there a bed?
Xiao Yu left alone this time, leaving all his subordinates and miscellaneous matters to his capable follower Ah Fu, including the imperial edict summoning him back to the capital.
It is said that Ah Fu cried all night because of this, and he was extremely sad that the young man he had been waiting for for more than ten years was seduced away by a woman outside.
Shao Mingjie was reluctant to leave his friend after learning about this, but he also happily went to find his sister. He told her that Xiao Yu had taken away Xu Chuchu, who threatened her, and she no longer had to worry about what Xu Chuchu would do to her.
Shao Zhi was almost mad to death.
Maybe this decision was a bit impulsive, but no matter what, it’s a decision.
Xiao Yu felt that she had never been as free and happy as she was today.
He could walk without any worries on the busy streets where he had never dared to appear before, and he could spend the whole day with the girl he wanted to be close to the most.
And all this happiness was brought to him by Xu Chuchu.
The two men left Tailing County and headed north, passing the official road and arriving at a nearby town.
This town is naturally not as prosperous as the county town, and is still very casual. The market layout is messy, but it has a strong rural and natural atmosphere and is also very humane.
Pedestrians on the street would greet the neighbors and shops wherever they went, and several half-grown children would hold hands and play in the streets and alleys.
Xiao Yu had never paid much attention to how the opposite sexes got along before, or rather, she was very resistant to these things. But today, seeing the children holding hands, she felt a little itchy, and she also had the idea of holding Xu Chuchu's hand and walking.
He secretly observed several couples going out together. They all looked like elderly couples. Not only did they not hold hands, they even walked one in front of the other, as if they were annoyed by any extra words.
He had no choice but to suppress these little thoughts.
Xu Chuchu naturally had no idea of Xiao Yu's complex thoughts. She had been scrambling for accommodations, and finally picked an inn that looked reasonably clean and tidy. She asked Xiao Yu, "It's too late to rush to the next town today, so why don't we sleep here tonight?"
"...All is fine." Xiao Yu said hurriedly.
It was a very ordinary sentence, but his imagination flew into the sky.
Xu Chuchu is no longer short of money, and she chooses better food and accommodation.
This inn has the best conditions in the town. In addition, it is the peak season of autumn market, so there are many travelers coming and going in the inn.
The plot of the play he had watched before popped up in Xiao Yu's mind again.
A man and a woman were staying at an inn. There was only one room left, and the other inns were also fully booked. They had no choice but to squeeze into one room, agreeing that one would sleep on the bed and the other on the floor. But...
Ahem, everyone must have seen this play, so I won’t go into details later.
"Shopkeeper, we want two rooms." Xu Chuchu said to the waiter at the door.
"Two rooms? Okay." The waiter immediately flipped through the account book. "Oh, sorry, sir, we've had a lot of customers recently, so we only have..."
Xiao Yu took a deep breath.
"...There are only two rooms left, one on the east side and one on the west side. They're not connected. Do you think it's okay?"
Xiao Yu exhaled slowly and resisted the urge to throw the waiter out.
"No problem." Xu Chuchu was very happy that there was still a room available and quickly paid the deposit.
The waiter took the two to their room and left. Xu Chuchu originally wanted to stay in the west room, but Xiao Yu said that the west room was hot at night and it would be noisy because it was close to the hot water room, so she insisted that she stay in the east room at the other end.
Xu Chuchu didn't refuse either.
She entered the room, turned around and saw Xiao Yu standing outside the door, and came back and said, "Go back and put your things, then come to my room."
After saying that, she smiled sweetly.
"Oh, oh." Xiao Yu nodded without hesitation, then stared blankly at Xu Chuchu as she closed the door.
What’s going on? Is this the welfare mode being activated?
Could it be that asking for two rooms just now was just a pretext to cover up to others, and she actually wanted to share one with him?
Although this idea is extremely outrageous, but... it's not completely impossible, right?
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yu changed into a set of clean clothes after returning.
I packed up and went to knock on the door. A long time had passed.
Xu Chuchu opened the door: "What took you so long?"
Then her eyes fell on him and she added, "Oh, you've changed your clothes. Not bad, not bad."
Xiao Yu still didn't understand, but his heart was still beating fast. He followed in and smelled the sweet incense in the room. A long cushion was neatly spread on the floor.
"I was looking for a thicker cushion," Xu Chuchu explained. "I asked the waiter, and they only had this thin one, so I'll just have to make do with it."
use?
"Isn't there a bed?" Xiao Yu asked puzzledly.
Xu Chuchu was stunned: "What bed?"
"No, nothing." Xiao Yu glanced away.
Xu Chuchu didn't care too much and nodded, "Then let's get started."
Before Xiao Yu could let his imagination run wild again, she turned around and sat on the wooden chair in front of her and said to Xiao Yu, "Kneel down."
"Huh?!" Xiao Yu was stunned.
"Aren't you going to become my disciple?" Xu Chuchu pointed at the cushion on the ground. "Since we're officially becoming my disciple, we have to go through the proper ceremony."
This, so this cushion is for him to kneel on? He thought it was... Ten thousand sheep galloped through Xiao Yu's mind.
He quickly calmed himself down and knelt on the cushion as instructed.
It was he who proposed to become a disciple, and he had no objection to the fact that a disciple should behave properly.
Seeing his unhappy expression, Xu Chuchu thought he was too noble to kneel, so she comforted him, "You and I are of similar age, so there's no need to be too particular about the etiquette between master and apprentice. After you become my disciple, I will teach you the way of cultivation. The rest of the time, we can get along just like before. If you don't want to, you don't have to call me Master. It's just that the tradition of apprenticeship is passed down from generation to generation and must not be forgotten."
She reached her hands into the copper basin filled with clean water on the wooden table beside her, washed her hands carefully in front of Xiao Yu, then turned her wrists and used a special technique to push the remaining water droplets on her hands onto Xiao Yu's head.
Xu Chuchu's hands were very clean, so Xiao Yu didn't feel they were dirty. Instead, they felt refreshed and cool.
I just heard Xu Chuchu say again.
"Anyone who enters my school and learns the Dao must not forget three things."
"First, from today on, study diligently and ask questions, persist in practicing, and don't give up halfway without reason."
"Secondly, the purpose of practicing Taoism is to punish evil and promote good, to suppress the strong and support the weak. One should not excessively pursue selfish desires, and certainly not abuse one's power to bully others."
"Third, everyone has different physiques and talents. If you practice diligently but still don't achieve success, it means that this is your destiny. You should accept it calmly and never go astray by practicing evil methods and allowing yourself to fall into depravity."
"Xiao Yu, can you possibly do the above three points?"
