Exiled Huajiao

Chapter 43
The evening wind blew through the treetops, blowing ambiguous horns and bringing awkward noises.

Bai Xi didn't expect Yuan Jun to speak for her, nor did he expect him to speak so sincerely, lowering his eyes to hide his slightly turbulent emotions.

The grey-haired old woman's face changed after being choked, she took a deep look at Yuan Jun, and her smile became more benevolent.

"Young man, I don't know how to call him?"

"My name is Yuan Jun."

"Little brother Yuanjun, the old woman just saw you save Bai girl, and Bai girl was indifferent to you, and worried that it would chill your heart and affect the relationship between your husband and wife. I also have good intentions. I didn't expect that you would love My wife is eager, and I can't allow others to say anything about your wife, it's the old woman who made a slip of the tongue."

The gray-haired old woman's tone was polite, but every sentence implied a provocative meaning.

Hearing that the gray-haired old woman said that she and Bai Xi were husband and wife, Yuan Jun glanced at Bai Xi vaguely, seeing that there was no reaction at all, and corrected with a smile: "We are friends, not husband and wife."

The old woman with gray hair heard the words, she hurriedly smiled and apologized: "I blame the old woman for my clumsy eyesight. But you two are good men and women, you are very compatible, and you are very husband and wife."

As she said that, she turned to Di Jiang again and said, "The two of them are not married, you still have a chance."

Yuan Jun heard the words and looked at Di Jiang, who smiled and nodded at him.

Yuan Jun didn't pay attention to Di Jiang before, but now he looked closely at each other, only then did he realize that Di Jiang looked somewhat similar to him.

Is this a coincidence?

Yuan Jun looked at Bai Xi.

What is she planning?
Bai Xi turned a deaf ear to the gray-haired old lady's jokes with Di Jiang and Yuan Jun all the time.

But she really wanted to say "too much is too much" to the gray-haired old woman.

Di Jiang, who was blushing, scratched his head, and peeked at Bai Xi, seeing that she was just walking with her head down and her gaze back, but she bumped into Yuan Jun who was also looking at Bai Xi.

Di Jiang lowered his eyes in embarrassment, but Yuan Jun looked at Di Jiang deeply.

For some reason, this man named Di Jiang always gave people a sense of disobedience, and his quack aura was too strong.

Yuan Jun's eyes fell on Bai Xi again, her expression was still indifferent and cold, as if no one else could guess her thoughts.

The slope of the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain is getting steeper and steeper. Because of the heavy fog on Linjiang Mountain, it is easy to get lost.

The gray-haired old woman who kept helping her son to strengthen his body and wiped his sweat stopped making jokes about Bai Xi and the other three.

She looked at Lin Lu, who was getting more and more foggy and approaching so close that she couldn't see anyone clearly, she patted her son's sturdy shoulder and signaled him to stop.

"Let's rest here for a while!"

The gray-haired old woman said that the forest was foggy and difficult to walk and easy to get lost, and Di Jiang was too tired to walk with the heavy puppet on his back all the time, so there was no rush for this moment.

Bai Xi has never had any objections to other people's proposals, and she sat on the half of the wooden stake as she pleased.

Seeing the sweat on Bai Xi's forehead, Yuan Jun took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to her.

Bai Xi didn't answer, but looked up at the top of the mountain.

Yuan Jun also followed Bai Xi's gaze. The top of the mountain was shrouded in mist, dark and gloomy, as if hiding a monster that swallowed poisonous mist.

"Is he up there?"

When Bai Xi separated from Yuan Jun, he said that he would go to Bashu to find the Prophet Bai Ze. The "he" Yuan Jun mentioned naturally refers to the Prophet Bai Ze.

Bai Xi with long eyes did not answer, but asked instead: "How did you find this place?"

The distance between the two was very close, and because of sweating, Bai Xi exuded a very strong fragrance of flowers.

Yuan Jun recalled the scene where the two were on top of the Bell and Drum Tower, with Bai Xi supporting him, two blushes climbed from his cheeks to his ears, and he took a step back uncomfortably.

He was sent here directly by Cangfeng and Yingzhao, the purpose of sending him here is very simple and clear, to bring Bai Xi back to the capital Chang'an.Preferably alive, but dead is fine too.

Suddenly, Yuan Jun's arm shook involuntarily.Immediately afterwards, the intestines in his abdomen ached as if they had been severed.

Yingzhao did not lie to Yuanjun, the evil poison named "Acacia" would attack every five days, and the pain seemed heartbroken.

This was the first time that the evil poison in Yuanjun's body had occurred. He was sweating profusely from the pain, and his expression was distorted.

But in order not to be discovered by Bai Xi, Yuan Jun lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and endured silently.

Seeing that Yuan Jun seemed to be abnormal, Bai Xi asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Jun's steel teeth were about to be crushed, sweat dripped from his chin like broken pearls, and a row of deep tooth marks were bitten on his lower lip, but he refused to snort.

Yuan Jun's ears were buzzing. I don't know how long it took. The gut-wrenching pain in his abdomen gradually subsided, his teeth slowly left his lips, and blood flowed from his bruised and swollen lips.

Pursing his lips to hide the wound on his lips, Yuan Jun squeezed out a shallow smile, shook his head lightly, and replied calmly: "I'm fine."

Although Yuan Jun tried his best to cover it up, his voice was weak, and Bai Xihui's eyes were bright, and he could see that he was not well, just trying to hold on.

"Are you injured?"

I didn't want to have too much involvement with Yuan Jun, but Bai Xi still asked with concern.

Yuan Jun was very happy with Bai Xi's concern, and the corners of his mouth naturally curled up: "Thank you for your concern."

"I don't care about you, it's just..."

Bai Xi was halfway through speaking, but was interrupted by Yuan Jun.

"Don't worry about me."

Yuan Jun adjusted his breathing and stared into Bai Xi's eyes: "I'm very happy that you are worried about me."

Bai Xi, who was slightly taken aback, looked Yuan Jun up and down in surprise, and found that those clear and pure eyes like a deer had deepened a lot.

In the past, his eyes were so clear and bright that he could see the bottom at a glance.

You can still see the bottom now, but there are many complicated emotions in the depths, and many things that Bai Xi doesn't quite understand.

When Bai Xi and Yuan Jun were staring at each other, the gray-haired old woman suddenly stepped forward, looked at the pale Yuan Jun, and said to Bai Xi with some sympathy: "Girl, every man you meet is weaker than each other. You Tell me, what kind of fate is this!"

Bai Xi ignored the gray-haired old woman, who seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be sincerely teasing.

If Lamei from Yunxia Valley was here, he would have asked the old lady with a smile, what kind of fate her husband married a gossip woman like her who is good at sowing discord and sarcasm!
Yuan Jun was as indifferent as Bai Xi, he didn't seem to listen to the old woman's joke, but just looked at Bai Xi with a smile, as if he accidentally found a small wild flower blooming in the withered grass by the roadside, knowing The footsteps of spring are coming.

Touched the gray-haired old woman on the nose, and muttered resentfully: "Old woman, am I talking to the air, or I don't have a long mouth, and I don't know how to vent my anger."

Di Jiang walked up to Bai Xi with a water bottle, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Miss Bai, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Bai Xi also had a kettle hanging on her waist, and she declined Di Jiang's kindness.

Di Jiang smiled: "Miss Bai, we Bashu people are a bit hot-tempered and like to joke around, so don't mind. I just think that I have found a good relationship with Miss Bai and want to make friends with you. There is no other meaning."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

As Bai Xi said, she took off the water bottle on her waist, unplugged it, and handed it to Yuan Jun, who was sweating profusely and looked very uncomfortable.

"Climbing while feeling unwell."

Bai Xiyu was disgusted. Seeing that the kettle was not connected, Yuan Jun pushed his nose on his face with a smile: "Please help me pull out the plug."

Taking a cool look at Yuan Jun's Bai Xi, he easily unplugged the kettle and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You don't need me to feed it into your mouth?"

"If it is possible, it is naturally good."

Yuan Jun, who was in a hurry, took the kettle before Bai Xi poured the water on his head, took a big gulp and handed it back to Bai Xi. Bai Xi took the kettle and drank without paying much attention.

Holding the kettle in his hand, he looked at Bai Xi and Yuan Jun who were drinking from a kettle, tapped the bottom of the kettle lightly with his fingers, and a smile appeared on his face.
