Chapter 172, Inexhaustible (4)

Although it is necessary to find a place to shelter from the rain, it is indeed a bit difficult to find a shelter in the wilderness and rain every time.And the rain is gradually increasing, and the wind is gradually picking up.

Wen Jisheng worried that Ban Xiyu's body might not be able to take it under such bad weather, so he stepped up his speed.Finally, a quarter of an hour later, the two of them found a thatched hut that had been abandoned for a long time in a desolate mountain depression.

The rain came fast, at first in fits and starts, but now it was almost torrential.Wen Jisheng quickly took Ban Xiyu off the horse, and sent him to the thatched hut: "Go in, go in!"

On the way, Wen Jisheng gave Ban Xiyu the Wujin umbrella to keep out the rain.She was fine, except for a small piece of wetness on the hem of her clothes, but she was much more embarrassed when she heard the sound of silence.

Ban Xiyu turned his head and saw that Wen Jisheng's tied-up hair was in strands because of the rain, and his clothes were also wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

She quickly handed over a clean handkerchief: "Wipe it first."

Hearing silence is not so particular.He wiped his face, and then distanced himself from Ban Xiyu: "Hey, don't get too close, it will wet you in a while."

He thought about it, and finally accepted Ban Xiyu's veil, but he put it away.He said, "Wait for a while, I'll make a fire. With a fire, it will be warmer, so as not to teach you to catch a cold later."

Ban Xiyu smiled nonchalantly: "It's hot weather, how can you catch a cold?" She said: "If you want to catch a cold, it's you who catch a cold. Your situation is much more serious than mine."

Wen Jisheng said in a low voice, "Why am I the same as you..." As a man, he is more delicate than Deban Xiyu.He can do whatever he wants, but Ban Xiyu can't fall ill.

Thinking of this, Wen Jisheng turned around and looked at the thatched cottage carefully to see if there was anything that could be used to start a fire.

Ban Xiyu looked around and found a dilapidated wooden chair from a corner.The chair was missing a leg and it was covered with cobwebs.

"This might be useful." Ban Xiyu couldn't help shivering as she spoke.She turned her head and found that the windows on both sides were broken, and the wind and rain were blowing outside, and the moisture drifted in through the windows.

Wen Jisheng led her in another direction and said, "You rest for a while, I'll go and seal the window tightly."

He did what he said, and immediately pulled out two pieces of cloth from the messy wooden cabinet to block the wind.

Afterwards, he quickly lit the fire again, and Ban Xiyu walked over to close the door of the thatched cottage. Immediately, the temperature from the fire gradually filled the entire thatched cottage.

Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng were sitting on one side of the fire, neither of them spoke, only the "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning.

Ban Xiyu raised her eyes to look at the sound of silence, then turned away from her eyes, and said, "The fire has already risen, you should change your clothes and roast them, lest you really get a cold."

She tried her best to make her voice sound normal, but at this moment, alone and alone, and it was such a bad weather, even though she wanted to pretend nothing had happened, the atmosphere was a bit strange after all.

Ban Xiyu couldn't tell what was strange, but she didn't dare to turn her head.Although there is no movement at the moment when I hear the silence.

On the other side, I heard Ji Sheng: "..."

He looked at Ban Xiyu under the reflection of the bonfire, and felt a little awkward for some reason.Right now, he couldn't see Ban Xiyu's face, only part of the other's facial outline.

But Wen Jisheng felt that whether he could see Ban Xiyu's face or not, he seemed to have offended her.

But it's really uncomfortable to hang wet clothes on your body.He thought for a moment, and finally decided to listen to Ban Xiyu's suggestion.

Wen Jisheng stood up, staring at Ban Xiyu's back, then turned around and moved out the dusty shelf in the corner.He stood behind the rack and hung up the wet clothes he had taken off.

Across the fire and the wooden frame, he said: "Okay, you can't see me, don't worry." Then he asked: "Are you hungry? There is still a lot of dry food in the pack, you fill your stomach."

Ban Xiyu let out a soft "oh", then turned around slowly.The tip of her ear was a little hot, it should be red.But fortunately there is something covering it, so the sound of silence should be invisible.

Just now she heard the "rustle" sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and she didn't dare to move in a daze.Now that Wen Jisheng and Wen Jisheng can't see each other, their demeanor is more natural.

Ban Xiyu grabbed a piece of cake and chewed slowly.She raised her head and looked in the direction of the door, and said, "The rain seems to be a little less."

On the other side, Wen Jisheng's voice came: "It's rainy in summer, it comes and goes quickly, and it won't be long before the rain will stop."

Ban Xiyu didn't know when the rain would stop: "Maybe."

The two were silent for a while, and then, Wen Jisheng suddenly asked: "By the way, Nanhuai Mansion is not far from Huaijiang Mansion, you...do you want to find a chance and go home and have a look?"

"This..." Ban Xiyu looked away and said, "I don't know. Let's see the situation after we find the painting Jiang Du mentioned."

It's not that she didn't think about going back.After leaving home for so many days, she also felt homesick.

It's just that when you arrive at Huaijiang Mansion, what can you do if you meet your grandparents?If they knew that he and Lou Xiyue had switched identities and were still walking around the rivers and lakes during this time, they would definitely be worried.

Besides, once she shows up in Huaijiang Mansion, her identity will be exposed.At that time, the secret between her and Lou Xiyue might not be able to be kept secret.

She was fine, but she was afraid that Lou Xiyue would be implicated by her and ruin her revenge plan.

Therefore, Ban Xiyu replied: "Let's discuss the matter of returning to the hometown. Lou Xiyue is still in the capital, and it is not appropriate for us to show up in Huaijiang Mansion at this moment."

Wen Jisheng murmured: "This is..."

But when it comes to Lou Xiyue, Ban Xiyu can't help being curious: "I don't know what's going on with her. Has the murderer who killed Xianyang's family been caught?"

Wen Jisheng sighed softly, and said: "Revenge is not so easy. But Lou Xiyue is still a little clever, even if there are some difficulties, I think with her ability, she will be able to solve them easily."

Having said that, Ban Xiyu was still worried.

Things in the court are turbulent and turbulent, and the forces of all parties are fighting openly and secretly, not to mention the in-laws formed by the Ban family, and the Xuanping Palace, which has had quarrels with the emperor.

If the murderer of Miemen case also participated in the struggle for imperial power, would Lou Xiyue still stay out of it and leave the scene safely?

"When we arrive at Nanhuai Mansion, let's inquire about the news about the capital." Ban Xiyu said, "I want to know what's going on inside the capital."

Wen Jisheng said: "Yes. But..." He wondered, "Have you not communicated with Lou Xiyue these days?"

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Ban Xiyu sighed helplessly: "I tried to communicate with Lou Xiyue, but there was no reply after the letter was delivered by the pigeon. I think the letter might not be delivered to her." gone."
