Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 58 Journey of a Thousand Miles

Dong Nuan Gu was standing on his right side, while he was holding a lantern with his left hand. In order for Dong Nuan Gu to see the road clearly, his left arm was completely stretched out in front of her. Dong Nuan Gu looked down at the woman in front of her. With a white and slender hand with distinct phalanges, he raised his hand to hold the pole carrying the wind lantern, and took the wind lantern from Si Jixia's hand with all his strength, and put the burden on his shoulders onto his arm while Si Jixia was still in a daze. superior.

"Miss Ah Nuan..." Si Jixia's arm carrying Dong Nuan's burden seemed a little stiff at this moment, unable to lift it up or down. He only frowned slightly and looked at Dong Nuan Gu, but Dong Nuan Gu raised his head slightly Smiling lightly at him, what Si Jixia was about to say was cut off in his throat, unable to speak, and he didn't have the eyes to face Dong Nuan.

Si Jixia was silent, but Dong Nuan pulled his cloak and walked forward at a leisurely pace. It took him a while to hear him say: "Since Miss Ah Nuan can't see the way clearly, Miss Ah Nuan will turn on the light for you." Bar."

It was still early, but the servants in the mansion had already got up and started their day's work. Dong Nuangu and Si Jixia went all the way from Jiyao to the side gate with wind lanterns, and all the servants they met on the road whispered and pointed behind them. The servant guarding the side door was leaning against the door and taking a nap. Hearing Si Jixia's voice calling him to open the door, he half-opened his eyes and was about to scold. Respectfully, without daring to say a word, hurriedly opened the door for them.

Si Jixia didn't seem to notice the change in the servant's attitude, his eyes didn't move, and he stepped out of the threshold.

After they went out and gradually walked away, the servant quickly put on a disgusted face, and while closing the door, he spat at their backs: "Unlucky! I met two unlucky people before dawn!"

When the servant fastened the latch and turned around, he was startled by a person who appeared behind them at some point, and immediately nodded and bowed after changing the look of disgust on his face, "I have seen the little princess!"

Liu Yi, who was wearing a brocade peony cloak, didn't even look at the servant by the door, but stared coldly at the closed door, with a cold glint in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

This time, Si Jixia is going to Shuiyue County in Qianqiu County. Qianqiu County is a small county bordering Beishuang Country. Shuiyue County is located in the northernmost part of Qianqiu County. It's very close, but between Shuiyue County and Beishuang Country is a mountainous area. Except for generations of medicine farmers, few people set foot on the mountain.

Si Jixia's destination is this stretch of mountains.

When he was still in Qingbi County, Si Jixia rented a carriage and hired a coachman. This route went from Qingbi County to Shuiyue County, but he sat in the carriage because of the winter warmth, but Si Jixia did not sit in the shade with her. In the carriage from the wind and cold, he sat with the driver on the railing in front of the carriage. Apart from the board and lodging issues, he would talk to her a few words along the way. Occasionally, I heard how he and the coachman walked in front of the road and where they stopped. He said very little, but he could hear that he was very familiar with this section of the road.

Why familiar?Is it because of frequent walking?
Dong Nuan lifted the curtains of the car to look at the hurried scenery on the side of the road, and she would think about this question every time she heard Si Jixia giving directions to the coachman.

At noon on the fifth day after leaving Qingbi County, the carriage arrived at Shuiyue County. Si Jixia paid the driver some money and asked him to stay in Shuiyue County for two more days, and he would have to drive them back to Qingbi County the next day. The driver readily agreed.

Dong Nuan saw that the silver that Si Jixia ordered for the coachman was very finely divided, together with the copper plates. He could tell that it was the broken silver and copper plates he had accumulated little by little during his search for the sun. Looking at his pale as paper face, The indescribable feeling in my heart seemed to surface again.

After the coachman pulled the carriage and left to find a place to stay, Si Jixia turned his head to look at Dong Nuan and said indifferently: "Ah Nuan is okay? There is an inn in front, I will take Miss A Nuan to rest first?"

Dong Nuan rubbed her shoulders, nodded, the crude carriage is not easy to ride, and the road from Qingbi County is not easy to walk or even bumpy, Dong Nuan felt that she was sitting on the bone Pain, if it wasn't for Si Jixia who was not in a hurry and would stay at the inn every night, otherwise, if she bumped here day and night, not to mention her bones would be smashed to pieces, even her waist and legs would be unbearable .

It was still the same as every time I stayed in the hotel along the way, Si Jixia asked the shopkeeper for two ordinary guest rooms, but just after he finished speaking, the shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, it's unfortunate, the small shop is now There is only one ordinary room left, you see..."

Si Jixia was silent, and while taking the broken silver from his belt, he said, "Then one upper room and one ordinary guest room."

The store owner made it even more difficult, "I'm really sorry, guest officer, the store doesn't care about whether you go in or out of the room today, and there is only one ordinary room left, or... you two will make it together? If it doesn't work, I can't help it either."

Si Jixia was about to say something, but at this moment he coughed, coughing a little urgently, but his complexion turned even paler.

The store owner was both embarrassed and nervous, looking at Si Jixia and Dong Nuanji beside him, "This..."

At this moment, Dong Nuangu took out the house money from his belt and gave it to the shopkeeper, and nodded to him. Although he didn't speak, the shopkeeper understood and nodded with a smile: "Okay, sir, an ordinary room Guest room, little tiger, lead the two guest officials upstairs!"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Si Jixia hurriedly turned to look at Dong Nuan, only to see him frowning slightly and shaking his head, "No, Miss Ah Nuan..."

Dong Nuangu didn't care what he was going to say, just glanced at him calmly, grabbed his cloak and led him upstairs. The storekeeper looked at them with a smile on his face, and Si Jixia's ears turned red instantly. , it is inconvenient to say anything in front of the store, so I had to go upstairs with Dongnuangu.

The shopkeeper Xiaohuzi led them to the guest room, ran down the stairs and rushed to the shopkeeper, and said excitedly: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, that girl is so beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful person!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by the shopkeeper, who glared at him and said, "What girl is not a girl, you can call a girl? Didn't you see her with a woman's hair bun?"

Little Huzi covered his forehead that hurt from being played by the shopkeeper, and said with an aggrieved face: "But didn't that young master call her a girl just now?"

"Husbands and wives can call each other what they like, you don't care what you do, hurry up and greet the guests!" The shopkeeper raised his hand as if to reward Xiao Huzi with another chestnut, and the little Huzi hurriedly covered his head and ran away. opened.

In the guest room, Si Jixia was still coughing badly, so Dongnuan poured him a cup of the hot tea brought up by the waiter just now and handed it to him, but he didn't take it, he just shook his head and coughed and said: "Miss Ah Nuan, ahem... a guest room is really inconvenient, so... it's not good for Miss Ah Nuan."

Bad reputation?Dong Nuan so stared at Si Jixia's face, as if to read his inner thoughts, her reputation is that she married him as his wife, and she has never heard of anything wrong with living together in the same room. Yes, even the store owner can tell that they are husband and wife, so how can they have a bad reputation?
