Young man, please stay

Chapter 26 Biluo Valley and Colorful Moon Silkworms
  Moon stars are rare.

Beside the Chijiang River at the foot of Qingniugang, there are white horses looking around in the forest, and there are also soft and beautiful figures.

The girl sat on the stone, pursed her lips tightly, leaned back slightly with her hands on her hands, and tried to keep her small right foot raised, allowing Qin Lang to cleanse herself of the poison.

"Zi..."

"..."

"Zizi..."

"..."

“Zizzizi~”

"..."

It's hard to describe how it feels to be detoxified by a man, especially a man you care about a little bit in your heart, with your own hands...or rather with your own mouth...

Anyway, for Gu Jin, who was feeling dizzy, the darkness could just cover up the drunken blush on her face.

That wonderful, weird feeling that even made her heart feel inexplicably hot. She had been provoked several times and wanted to say stop.

But when she glanced at Qin Lang quietly and saw his serious attitude that showed no disdain at all, and even the way he seemed to be holding a delicate jade and carefully carving it, Gu Jin couldn't hold back at all.

Although she knew that Madam and him were...

But all in all, or perhaps because of this, she wanted to remember any bit of his concern for her better.

……

"All right!"

I don’t know how much time passed, it didn’t matter anymore, time had lost its meaning to a certain girl in this night. Anyway, during the time he was by her side to detoxify her, she only felt that it was both long and short.

"The poisonous blood should have come out. Fortunately, the toxin of Tribulus terrestris spreads very slowly. Let's go back and drink more horsetail tea."

"Drink again..."

"Uh...no way, it's not a cure-all for all diseases, but it has some benefits for blood-related problems anyway."

"..."

It doesn't matter, Gu Jin originally liked drinking horsetail tea.

"It doesn't hurt now, does it?"

Qin Lang pinched her toes.

"Um…"

Gu Jin nodded slightly, then watched him continue to pinch her toes, looked at him blankly for a while, and suddenly asked:
  "looks good…"

Qin Lang was stunned:
  "What... what?"

"foot…"

"..."

It seemed that now was not the time to doubt whether there was something wrong with his ears. Qin Lang opened his mouth and then nodded decisively:
  "nice."

"Compared with Madam..."

"?"

"Who's good-looking..."

"..."

Broken, how do you answer this?

Although Qin Lang had indeed pinched the princess's toes, Qin Lang was indeed aware of the different characteristics of their feet...

But as far as this question is concerned, Qin Lang has never encountered this kind of multiple-choice question before.

After all, when he was in Tianshan, Qin Lang only asked his senior sister to fill in the blanks.

No matter what, just answer "senior sister".

For example, who is the prettiest in the world, who is the fairest, who is the softest, etc.

Qin Lang only needed and could only answer with two words: senior sister.

But when you go down the mountain, it's different.

Such as the situation in front of me.

Qin Lang didn't know what was going on with this guy. He suddenly asked about such a thing...

But since she asked, he had to answer.

"You look good."

"Eh…?"

The girl, who had been gradually panicking because of her erratic questions, became even more confused after hearing Qin Lang's answer.

"Then...that lady..."

"It's also pretty."

"..."

It turned out to be the case.

The girl's watery eyes almost instantly returned to their usual calmness and indifference.

Speaking of which, she shouldn't have asked.

They had originally decided to just be a bystander, but they had decided to just treat him as "Qin Shaoxia" and just watch him and his wife get along silently.

It's just that she didn't know why, but she suddenly asked such a strange topic that was completely not her style...

"But if you have to compare."

However, at this time Qin Lang thought again:
  "I think Miss Sumire's feet are the prettiest."

"you you…"

Gu Jin's eyes blinked in disbelief again, he hesitated for a while, and whispered:

"The princess's feet...don't look good..."

"No."

"..."

That's right. If it didn't look good, what else did he do secretly on the first night.

"I think Miss Jin's feet are the most beautiful in the world."

Gu Jin snorted slightly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

"As for the princess's feet, I think they are the most beautiful in the world."

"..."

Gu Jin looked at Qin Lang expressionlessly, thinking of his senior sister:

"Where's Senior Sister You..."

"My senior sister's feet should be considered the most beautiful in the world."

"Ah!…"

The girl's sneer seemed to be mocking, but it was not Qin Lang who was mocking, but herself.

Because she suddenly felt that she turned out to be such a spineless person.

Even if someone just teased her, if he said a few nice things about himself, she would seriously believe him again.

------

Anyway, the poison has been detoxified, so Qin Lang should help Gu Jin put on her shoes and socks first.

The little black socks with a warm fragrance are still warm when they are taken out because Qin Lang has been carrying them in his arms. Because of their elasticity, they will have a soft feeling when they gradually cover the feet. It has a tight sense of security, and you can imagine how comfortable it is just by touching it.

Whether it's because of the material itself or the textile technology, this kind of fabric is really wonderful, with vertical knitting patterns and dark prints on it.

"Come on, give me your feet."

"..."

Qin Lang rolled the entire sock to the end and let the girl's toes move a little tentatively inside the sock. After confirming the fit, he then wrapped it little by little along the exquisite arch curve from the sole to the heel, and then pulled it to The ankles are finally gathered at the slender wrist, leaving a shallow circle of gathered seams.

There is no need to tie it, it can be worn directly by the elasticity and it will not fall off. Qin Lang was amazed at the beauty of this fabric, touched Gu Jin's little socks and asked:

"Miss Sumire, what material is this made of?"

"?"

Gu Jin didn't expect Qin Lang to ask this question, so she paused and said:

"cotton."

"..."

What a simple answer...

However, the cloth socks worn by civilians are indeed made of cotton, but...

"With Dazhou's current technology, ordinary cotton cloth cannot be of such high quality, right? How do you make it elastic?"

"Are you...also interested in textiles?"

Gu Jin was secretly surprised. Qin Lang knew martial arts and was a good cook. Could it be that he also knew how to weave cloth?
  As expected of me... No! ...He is indeed the man that Madam likes, he knows a little bit about everything...

……

In fact, Gu Jin's conjecture was too exaggerated, and Qin Lang was not that omnipotent.

"I don't know anything about textiles, I'm just curious and think this kind of fabric is amazing."

"Is it great?"

Gu Jin had no idea. She put on her boots first and then touched the black clothes on her body.

In fact, the black clothes Gu Jin is wearing now are already her second outfit. She and Su Yinping have enough spare luggage to hang on their saddle bags for this trip.

"The clothes on my body are also made of this kind of fabric."

"what?"

Qin Lang was a little surprised, and then tugged on Gu Jin's trousers, then his sleeves, then his belt...

"You...what are you going to do!"

The girl grabbed her belt tightly, suppressed her blushing, and stared at Qin Lang fiercely.

"Sorry, mistake."

Qin Lang hesitated, but finally confirmed that the black clothes on Gu Jin's body, like her socks, were made of highly elastic cotton.

It's just that the fabric used for outerwear and trousers is not as elastic as socks, so Qin Lang needs to pull it to feel it.

Under Qin Lang's increasingly curious inquiry, Gu Jin finally revealed the origin of this fabric.

"This outfit and this fabric all come from Biluo Valley."

"Biluo Valley..."

Qin Lang narrowed his eyes:
  "One of the six sects today? The Biluogu who is good at assassinating Andi?"

"Ah."

……

As one of the six sects, Biluo Valley has been training assassins and secret guards for the Zhou royal family, major aristocratic families, powerful officials and wealthy businessmen, and even other sects in major rivers and lakes.

The whole set of night clothes that Gu Jin wears is made from the silk spun by the colorful moon silkworms unique to Biluo Valley, spun into silk floss, and then worsted.

Including the clothes on Gu Jin's body, the dark and extremely uniform colors are not dyed, but natural colors.

……

"Colorful Moon Silkworms..."

This was the first time Qin Lang heard about this magical creature, but Si Mian still knew about it.

To put it bluntly, it is cotton wool made of silk, but this kind of cotton wool is processed from the random silk on the surface of cocoons. Rich people in Dazhou would fill their clothes with silk cotton to keep out the cold, or make silk quilts.

But it is obvious that the silk floss spun by this colorful moon silkworm is indeed extremely unique. Its high elasticity is unique to any other textile raw material.

Perhaps in Biluogu's view, such fabrics would be relatively more slim-fitting and easier to move when used for assassins' secret guards and the like. Compared with the similarly slim-fitting suits, they would also be more comfortable and suitable for long-term ambush and concealment.

But in Qin Lang's eyes, this kind of elasticity, especially the high elasticity that can be achieved like Gu Jin's little socks, has uses that make Qin Lang even more excited.

"Miss Sumire, has Biluo Valley ever made a thinner version of this kind of fabric?"

"Thin…?"

"Yes, as thin as a cicada's wings, but still very flexible..."

"?"

Why is the fabric so thin?

Gu Jin didn't know why the topic had changed to this. She looked at Qin Lang in confusion:

"It's too thin. Wouldn't it tear easily?"

"This...has pros and cons..."

Qin Lang touched his nose guiltily:

"Just tell me if there are any thinner ones in Biluo Valley."

"It should be possible, but I haven't seen it."

"That's it...then you just said that the color of the silk spun by the colorful moon silkworm is also natural. Judging from the name, the colorful moon silkworm should not only be able to spin a kind of black silk thread, right?"

"It's natural."

As expected, the topic got weirder and weirder, but since Qin Lang asked, Gu Jin answered, even lowering his head, looking at his fingers and counting:

"The colorful moon silkworms in Biluo Valley can produce black silk, white silk, gray silk, purple silk..."

"Okay, okay! Enough is enough!"

"?"

"Okay, this Biluo Valley is a great place..."

Qin Lang's face was red and he didn't know what he was thinking. Gu Jin couldn't figure it out, but he didn't agree with Qin Lang's statement.

"Biluo Valley...is not a good place..."

"Ok?"

Qin Lang came back to his senses when he heard the girl's clear words. Then he realized that Gu Jin was so familiar with the colorful moon silkworms in Biluo Valley. It was obviously not because of interest.

"Miss Sumire, could it be you..."

"..."

Gu Jin was silent for a long time, and then said:

"I followed my wife when I was six years old, and since I was seven years old, I have to go to Biluo Valley to learn martial arts every six months. After going there for half a year...the first time I was injured and the first time I killed someone, they were all there."

"..."

Okay, as far as this experience is concerned, Biluo Valley is indeed not a good place.

However, it was getting late now. After such a long delay, Qin Lang stopped talking nonsense. Together with Gu Jin, who was recovering from his foot injury, he found Zhen Ji nearby who was admiring her reflection on the riverside not far away, and then went to Qingniugang. gone back.

"Qin Lang..."

"Hey."

"You said today...that demons are afraid of people, is that true..."

"should…"

"..."

"Ahem! It's absolutely true! Don't worry! By the way... I also have a question for Miss Sumire."

"You said."

"Why...are you willing to call me by my name again...?"

"..."

……

The conversation between the two gradually faded away from the forest by the river. No one noticed that just when they had not gone far, there were two dots of blue on the top of a tree next to where Zhen Ji had stopped. The light flashed in the night.
