Chapter 685 Familiarity
Although he and Fang Chuning slept in the same tent and shared the same bed, Fang Chuning had to patrol the camp most of the time, and he was on duty at night, always patrolling until dawn.

His schedule is very healthy. He goes to bed early and gets up early. Therefore, when he wakes up, Fang Chuning has just returned to the camp to wash and rest. He also has a bad habit. He doesn't like to eat breakfast and falls asleep after washing. Xie Jue will often let him Let's eat together and then catch up on some sleep. Fang Chuning's left ear goes in and the right ear goes out. When he urges her anxiously, Fang Chuning will pull the quilt over his head and say "no need to eat, don't call me!"

Over time, it becomes a habit!

Xie Jue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but wonder if he had been in a daze recently. He always thought of Fang Chuning. The two of them were rarely separated for such a long time, so they missed him more!
There was a heavy wind and snow outside, and a thick layer accumulated. Fortunately, there was a corridor in the front yard and the room. Meals could be delivered from the corridor, but it was almost impossible to walk elsewhere.After the aunt delivered the meals, she also said that there had been heavy snow and wind recently, and they were afraid that they would not be able to return to the city for the time being. Lan Ningzhen gave them a large amount of money, which was enough for their food and accommodation here. The meals delivered this time included beef and mutton. , and pickles.Xie Jue asked his aunt if he could bring some books to the room for him to pass the time. The aunt left with a slight embarrassment.

After a long time, the aunt came back and brought a box of old books. In addition to miscellaneous notes and humanities books, most of them were about medical skills. They were all written in Northern Mandarin. They were poorly revised and difficult to read for Xie Jue.But he didn't mind it either. Otherwise, what else could he and Lan Ningzhen do if they were locked in an almost airtight space except sleeping?
There’s always something to do!
The aunt seemed to know that he was bored and wanted to kill time, so she gave him a few pieces of jade and a carving knife so that he could play with the jade when he was bored.

After all, that box was almost full of medical books, which was boring for others to look at. Xie Jue was extremely grateful. He was a person who loved purity, so it didn't matter if he kept the book closed and kept reading.He just doesn't know how many days he has to stay here. He can read this book in one day.

Xie Jue looked at Beiman's miscellaneous notes and idle books, and after reading for a while, he realized that he had read them.He also liked reading when he was in the Marquis Mansion. There were very few books in the Northern Barbarians, most of them were about gods and priests, which he found boring.I am forced to understand the Northern Barbarian culture, read it patiently, and simply understand the general situation of the Northern Barbarians from the books.

He looked through the medical books out of boredom. There were more medical books on the Northern Barbarians than on poisons. This was a field that Xie Jue had never been exposed to, so he read it with gusto.

When the aunt brought lunch, Lan Ningzhen was still sleeping unconsciously. Xie Jue turned around and looked at the girl sleeping soundly next to her. It was unbelievable that they were in the same room and they were strangers. She was so reassured about him and not afraid of his presence. Knife him in his sleep?If he hadn't figured it out, this would be the best time to kill Lan Ningzhen.

"Beauty, when I woke up, I saw you looking at me intently, fascinated by my beauty?" Lan Ningzhen put her palms to her face and asked Xie Jue with a sideways smile. She woke up just as Xie Jue was staring at her.

Xie Jue said angrily, "Lunch has been delivered. Get up and eat."

"Okay!"

Lan Ningzhen stood up neatly and went to rinse her mouth behind the screen. She poured a cup of hot water. The hot water became warm in a moment. She raised her head and took a sip. The scarf around her neck was a little loose. Lan Ningzhen adjusted it and fixed it. Lan Ningzhen looked at her face through a small mirror, as if to check whether her makeup had changed after a night. When she saw that her makeup was intact, Lan Ningzhen was relieved.

"Are you so concerned about appearance?" Xie Jue saw her little moves clearly.

"Girls love beauty. I have had low self-esteem since I was a child, so of course I care about appearance the most."

Full of lies!

Regardless of her cultivation or demeanor, Lan Ningzhen is not a person who has had low self-esteem since she was a child. Instead, she is more like someone who grew up being praised and admired by others!
She also eats an astonishing amount of food, three times as much as Xie Jue. Although Xie Jue doesn't like northern barbarian food, he eats patiently as the local customs do. Lan Ningzhen can sweep up all his leftovers without wasting them. A grain of grain.

It’s really edible, like Xie Xun!
After the meal, Xie Jue read quietly again. Lan Ningzhen packed up everything and started to provoke Xie Jue again. Because she was too bored, Xie Jue threw the jade and knife to her, "You can carve."

Be quiet by the way!
Lan Ningzhen looked at the palm-sized jade in her hand. The surface of the jade had been polished, revealing the tight flesh inside. It was green and beautiful. It was a spicy green stone with very good color.This kind of stone is not valuable at all in the northern barbarians, because it is everywhere and cannot be cashed in, so this kind of stone is used to carve it into ornaments or to play with.

Lan Ningzhen looked at the stone in embarrassment and raised the knife in her hand, "Mr. Helian, I can't carve."

"you will not?"

"No!" Xie Jue felt strange, because there are colorful stones everywhere in the Northern Barbarians, and girls prefer to carve stones as jewelry, so almost all Northern Barbarian girls love carving.

Lan Ningzhen was sent to Tianshen Mountain since she was a child and had no contact with the life of an ordinary girl. She couldn't carve or was normal, so Xie Jue had no choice but to push the book in his hand to her.

Lan Ningzhen has no interest in reading books. She has basically read these books, "Mr. Helian, chat with me."

"I don't want to talk."

"So indifferent." Lan Ningzhen asked, "Mr. Helian, have you been so indifferent since you were a child?"

Xie Jue was silent and admitted in disguise.

"Then you must have no friends."

"Who said that!" Xie Jue couldn't help but retort, "I have a best friend."

Lan Ningzhen's eyes lit up, "Really? Tell me what kind of person your friend is."

"Inconvenient!" Xie Jue secretly cursed himself for not controlling his temper.

No matter how Lan Ningzhen teased him later, Xie Jue wouldn't say a word. Lan Ningzhen was so bored that she tossed and turned without knowing what to do, so she went out and built two snowmen.

Xie Jue, "..."

There is really no time to spare!
"If you have nothing to do, you can go to the front yard and help the doctor."

Lan Ningzhen has actually been there. No one came to see a doctor today. Every household is closed up in such a heavy snowstorm. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the doctor and the whole family are arranging various New Year matters.

Yes, it’s Chinese New Year!
Xie Jue felt depressed, as the Chinese New Year was only three days away.

This was the first time that he did not celebrate the New Year with his family. Although the Ningzhou cavalry warriors were busy, they would still take holidays during the holidays. The Northern Barbarians almost ceased fighting in November and would not start the war again in mid-February of the next year.Half of the cavalry can go back to their hometown for the New Year holiday. Zhenbeihou and Xie Zhang cannot take leave at the same time, and one of them must be stationed in the army.

This year is the turn of Zhenbei Hou to return to Beijing for the New Year. The eldest brother is stationed at the border. If he had not come to Fox City, he would have been in Beijing with his mother and aunts by now.

They would arrange various banquets and invite clan girls to their homes, hinting that he was about to start seeing women.
