I couldn't help but fake cough to ease the mood.
Gu Xinran finally shook off her negative emotions and said, "Brother Xiao, you really can do anything!"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Gu Xinran pulled out the little hand that was held by Xiao Mingzhan, patted the back of his hand, and revived with full blood. She told the truth:
"Xiao Bayi and I accidentally opened the corpse cave. The tragic scene and the stench of corpses occupied my mind. It was really worse than death.
Your handsome face and refreshing scent saved me."
After saying that, she looked at him deeply again, leaned close to his neck and took a deep breath, squinting her eyes with a look of enjoyment, "Comfortable!"
Xiao Mingzhan's heart was pounding with fear at her bold behavior, and as her little hand withdrew, he felt a little empty in his heart.
I secretly complained in my heart, what a heartless girl. I was so excited for a long time, but it turned out that she was just a tool.
Just now, she was looking at me with sparkling eyes, and I thought she had chosen me. I was so self-indulgent. I was really disappointed and said angrily: "It is my honor to help Xinran."
Gu Xinran noticed his disappointment, "Are you unhappy about something?"
Xiao Mingzhan calmed down and thought, "She's still a child. Don't think too much." He murmured, "Not bad."
Gu Xinran was too lazy to find out what happened to him. Everyone has their own secrets.
He moved his seat to its normal position, sat up straight, and started talking about business: "Brother Xiao, what do you want from me?"
Xiao Mingzhan felt even more disappointed. How cruel! He threw it away after using it, and moved it away immediately when he felt comfortable!
He shook his head helplessly and pointed to the box in the corner and said, "You made an invaluable contribution to taking the gold mine. That's your reward."
Gu Xinran stood up and walked towards the familiar wooden box. When he opened it, he saw a box of gold nuggets.
Alas, she already has more than twenty boxes, which is not worth it. Besides, if she doesn’t want to expose the space, is it appropriate to carry these things with her on the road of fleeing famine?
She was unmoved and said uninterestedly: "Brother Xiao, is this the refined gold? It's so ugly.
It's inconvenient for me to lead the way, so you should keep it and use it to buy more food to help the disaster victims."
Oh, there is a day when this little money-grubber thinks gold is ugly. The sun really rises from the west.
Xiao Mingzhan looked at her with a smile, "Our Xinran's love of beauty extends not only to people, but also to things. It's true that I was inconvenient to carry. So, is there anything you want?"
Gu Xinran wanted to expand the space and act irresponsibly towards him, but was this a reasonable request?
He has the desire but not the courage!
She took a few more glances at her secretly. She had a pretty face and a good figure. Tsk tsk, who knew who would get the advantage in the future.
He said politely, "What reward do I want? I'm here to save people. I have to thank Brother Xiao for his great help. Otherwise, the villagers of Qingshan Village would not be saved so easily."
After saying that, he took out two small porcelain bottles from his sleeve pocket, handed them to him, and introduced them seriously:
"This is my thank you gift to you. It's a newly developed, top-grade ginseng and antler pill. It can bring back the dead and turn bones into flesh. Haha, that's a bit strong, but it's very powerful. I'm giving it to you to save your life."
Seeing her cute little chatter, Xiao Mingzhan happily took it and carefully put it away. "Well, it's made by Ranran, so it must be a fine product. I will use it well."
What Gu Xinran gave this time was truly top-notch, made with century-old ginseng!
"Brother Xiao, that's great. You still remember what I said."
"I've remembered everything Xinran said. I heard you guys left after dawn. The lounge next door is pretty clean. Go take a rest. You've worked hard today."
"Okay, I'm really sleepy. Brother Xiao should also have a good rest. There is no end to the things in this world."
Gu Xinran yawned as he spoke and walked towards the next room. He did not forget to tell Xiao Ba who was outside the door to tell Brother Gu.
Xiao Mingzhan was also exhausted these two days. He nodded and walked towards the other connected room.
Gu Xinran closed the door and entered the space.
The space is several hundred square meters larger, which should be the reward for holding hands and giving away ginseng and antler pills.
I was so sleepy that I took off my disguise, washed up, and lay down on the comfortable big bed.
I didn't dare sleep too deeply. I could only rest for more than an hour before I had to go down the mountain. If I didn't come back all night, my mother might cry again.
Next door, Xiao Mingzhan was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. How many years had it been since anyone could disturb his mind?
I'm really attracted to Xinran!
But now the situation is still uncertain and the poison has not been resolved, so I am afraid I cannot give her happiness.
But she is almost fourteen years old, which is the age when girls should get engaged. What if she is engaged to someone else?
No, I can't bear the thought of her being in a pair with someone else. I have to be honest with her, let her know my feelings, and make up my mind in advance.
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t understand yet, you can wait for her to grow up slowly.
Thinking of those bright eyes staring at him, Xiao Mingzhan felt fortunate for the first time that he had a handsome face, which he could use to touch her heart.
After making the decision, Xiao Mingzhan was excited and restless, sometimes laughing, sometimes nervous, waiting for dawn.
Gu Xinran woke up at five in the morning, washed up in the space, ate two big buns, and drank a bowl of white porridge.
She put on her men's clothes again and painted her face a little yellow. People who knew her would recognize her at a glance, and those who didn't know her would mistake her for a man. This was the result she wanted.
When I opened the door, Xiao Mingzhan was waiting there. I was so happy to see such a beautiful woman so early in the morning!
She smiled widely, "Good morning, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Mingzhan suppressed his inner restlessness, looked at her, and thought to himself, this outfit is good, not eye-catching.
"Good morning, Ranran, come with me, I have something to tell you."
Gu Xinran looked at him curiously. Why did he suddenly become so affectionate? Has Xinran become Ranran?
It doesn’t matter. There are many people who call her Ranran anyway, so it doesn’t matter if there is one more. What’s more, it sounds much better when he calls her that.
He followed him obediently into the room where he was resting, and greeted Qi Da and Qi Er who were guarding the door.
This room has the same structure as the one she sleeps in, a bed, a table, a chair, a small room.
As soon as the door closed, Gu Xinran suddenly felt uncomfortable. She had never been alone with the opposite sex in such a small, enclosed space, and she felt a little nervous.
"Come and sit down." Xiao Mingzhan dragged the chair to the bedside and asked Gu Xinran to sit down. He sat on the bed himself.
Seeing his serious expression, Gu Xinran was worried that something had happened and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Mingzhan is the kind of person who rushes forward without hesitation once he makes a decision.
His deep eyes looked into hers, "Ranran, are you engaged?"
Gu Xinran didn't expect him to ask such a question, so she answered truthfully, "No, I'm just a kid, why would I want to get married? A man with three wives and four concubines is rarely a good person. I don't plan to get married."
Xiao Mingzhan was shocked by her remarks. What girl wouldn't get married?
"Your idea won't work. Lan Country has a rule that women must marry at the age of eighteen, otherwise they will be forced to marry."
Gu Xinran had been here for so long, but had never heard of this before, and was stunned.
"Forced marriage, random husbands?"
