"Then rub your uncle's..." Ah Chou grumbled softly. She had never cursed anyone before. She was just teased by Zhong Mingwei. She cursed out of the blue and felt that she was very vulgar and was afraid that Zhong Mingwei would despise her. She pursed her lips. She moved closer to Zhong Mingwei embarrassedly and tried to please him in a low voice. "Wait. I'll rub your back well and make sure to rub off three pounds of ash for you."
"Hahaha..." The next second, Zhong Mingwei couldn't help laughing. His whole body was shaking, and even the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes looked like he was smiling.
"What are you laughing at?" Ah Chou was already feeling embarrassed, and this smile made him even more uneasy. He rubbed his hands uncomfortably.
"How come we have become savages who eat raw meat and drink blood?" After laughing enough, Zhong Mingwei looked at Ah Chou with his lips curled. He said with a smile. "We always talk about kilograms of ashes. I'm afraid even the savages can't compare to us."
"Hey, you were the first to bring it up?" Ah Chou also laughed. Covering his mouth, he looked at Zhong Mingwei with his dark eyes. "Then we two Ru...blood-drinking savages should not look down on each other, and you are not allowed to nag me anymore."
"Okay, I won't nag you anymore." Zhong Mingwei wanted to stroke Ah Chou's hair, but seeing his hands were covered in dust, he gave up. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Ah Chou buried her face in Zhong Mingwei's hand. Zhong Mingwei hurriedly said, "You girl, don't you see how dirty my hands are..."
"How dirty can it be? After all, there's not three or four pounds of dust, hehe," Ah Chou laughed, holding Zhong Mingwei's hand to prevent him from hiding, while pouting and acting coquettishly with the man, "Wait a minute, you wash my hair for me, I can never rinse it clean by myself."
"Okay, I'll wash it for you," Zhong Mingwei said softly, "Wash it clean and fragrant."
"Do you want to put jasmine flowers?" Achou looked at Zhong Mingwei a little shyly.
Zhong Mingwei was startled, and looking at Ah Chou's shy appearance, he suddenly nodded his head: "Put more! Put more! Let these two savages smell delicious from the inside out."
"Bah! Shameless." Ah Chou spat in a low voice, got off the kang and went to the side room to find a bathtub.
…
The fourth day of the first lunar month in the thirty-third year of Jiasheng
That night.
Ningguta.
The carriage was running on the snow. As far as the eye could see, there was endless snowfield. Pang Yi sat at the front of the carriage, driving the horse steadily.
Xiao Anshi was not as comfortable as Pang Yi. Since they had set out from Jilin on the first day of the Chinese New Year, they had only rested for one night, and had been on the road the rest of the time. Xiao Anshi's bones were shaken apart, and she was cold and hungry. At this time, Xiao Anshi wrapped herself in a quilt and sat in the carriage, her eyes red with grievance. How could she have suffered such a hardship? The person who pretended to be sick was afraid that he would really get sick. The delicate and precious lady of the capital wanted to kill the man who kept "driving, driving, driving" outside.
If she had known this earlier, she would have simply found an opportunity to escape when she was in Jilin. Why would she have suffered such a punishment?
“Pah!”
Xiao An endured for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the carriage door hard with her hands.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Pang Yi continued driving the car and said in a cold voice.
"When can we stop and rest for a while?" Xiao An said angrily, "I haven't eaten for most of the day! I haven't had any water either!"
"There's dry food in the bag," Pang Yi said in a calm voice, whipping the horse gently with the whip as usual, "and there's water in the kettle."
Shivering, Xiao An stretched out a hand from under the quilt and reached for the bundle opposite her. It was too cold. She breathed in the cool air while shivering as she untied the bundle. As soon as she saw the dough inside, she was immediately furious: "I don't want to eat this!"
"Then just starve." Pang Yi said calmly.
Pang Yi was very impatient with this delicate and cunning noble lady from the capital. It was because of her pretending to be sick that the journey was delayed for so long. Pang Yi really couldn't help but be dissatisfied with her, so he ignored all of Xiao An's dissatisfaction in the past few days. He knew that a noble lady like her with a delicate figure was not suitable for traveling day and night, so he didn't take it to heart. Now that the carriage had finally entered Ningguta, he naturally hoped to reach Zhong Mingwei as soon as possible, so he had no intention of stopping to rest.
