The extremely tired people chose their houses one after another, registered with the village chief, and moved in with their remaining luggage.
Xi Jin pushed open the fence of the thatched house with Xie Luo, and carefully looked at the next home.
The house is very simple, with only two rooms in total, one bedroom and one kitchen.
The house looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time, and there were cobwebs and dust everywhere.
"Jin'er..." Xie Luo reached out to pluck the spider webs from Xi Jin's hair, his eyes a little lonely and guilty.
Xi Jin understood that Xie Luo was hesitant to speak, so he raised a smile: "Xie Luo, look, we have a family, and we no longer have to sleep in the open air."
"Yes, we have a family." Xie Luo responded with a smile.
I secretly made up my mind to give Jin'er a better home in the future.
"You see, this house seems to have been lived in before."
Xi Jin opened the door to the room and found that there were some simple tables, chairs, cabinets, and a relatively clean quilt on the kang in the bedroom, which he didn't even have time to take away.
"Jin'er, please sit down and rest for a while. I see there is a well outside. I'll go get some water."
Xie Luo put down the baggage in his hand, took a basin from the house, and went out.
"Okay." Xi Jin shed all his fatigue, lay down on the kang, raised his head and looked at the house carefully.
Xi Jin still felt a little unreal when he thought that he was already in Yazhou at this moment.
She actually walked thousands of miles. Although her feet were covered in blisters, she still felt proud.
A month ago, how could she have believed that she could come to such a remote Yazhou.
Thinking about this, the person became a little drowsy and fell asleep without realizing it...
Xie Luo fetched water and returned to the room, where he saw that Xi Jin had fallen asleep.
Even in her sleep, she still maintained a guarded and uneasy posture, and Xie Luo couldn't help but feel sad.
If he hadn't gained the respect of Vice General Liang today, Jin'er would have been bullied.
He should also perform meritorious deeds as soon as possible in order to protect his loved ones.
Xie Luo stretched out his hand to cover Xi Jin with the quilt, feeling a little embarrassed looking at the narrow bed.
Jin'er trusted herself and never guarded against him along the way.
But she didn't know that he was a man, at a young age, how could he be indifferent to the woman he loved?
As Xie Luo thought about it, he felt an inexplicable heat all over his body. He remembered that he had not washed for many days, so he took the bucket from the house and went to the well outside to rinse it with cold water.
In his sleep, Xi Jin didn't know that Xie Luo was unbearably hot that night.
It had been a long time since she had such a good rest. The long journey for more than a month made her whole body sore as soon as she lay down.
It wasn't until late in the night that she began to feel burning discomfort. She touched her forehead, and it was indeed very hot. It looked like she had a fever, but she no longer had the strength to get up.
Xie Luo, who was not asleep, heard the noise, got up quickly, and walked to her side in the dark: "Jin'er, what's wrong with you?"
Xi Jin pointed to his hoarse throat: "Water..."
"Okay." Xie Luo hurriedly brought a bowl of water and fed her to drink it.
When she leaned against his chest, she realized that her body was very hot: "Jin'er, do you have a fever?"
"It's okay..." Xi Jin drank the water, turned around and fell asleep weakly.
I didn't wake up until the evening of the next day.
When Xi Jin woke up, he saw Lan'er sitting beside his bed: "Lan'er, why are you here?"
"Sister Jin, you're finally awake." Lan'er choked when she saw Xi Jin waking up, "I was so afraid that you wouldn't wake up."
"Where did Xie Luo go?" Although she was groggy last night, she could still feel that Xie Luo was always by her side, wiping her forehead and feeding her some water from time to time.
"Brother Xie went out to get medicine." Lan'er helped Xi Jin up and fed her some water.
"Brother Xie knocked on the door in the morning and asked me to take care of you for a while. He went to ask the doctor to treat you. Now he sent the doctor back and went to get the medicine."
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired." Xi Jin knew his body.
When she had a stomach attack two days ago, she knew she couldn't bear it anymore, but she would be fine after two days of rest.
"How could it be okay? You've been sleeping all day. Brother Xie's eyes are red because he's worried that something might happen to you. The doctor said that you're sick from overwork. If you don't get a good rest, the root cause of the disease will come down to you."
"It's okay, I still don't know my body." Xi Jin touched Lan'er's scorched little face, "Does it still hurt after you fell yesterday?"
"It doesn't hurt." Lan'er said with some fear, "I thought that coming to Yazhou would only mean some hardship, but I didn't expect the officials in Yazhou to be so bad."
"It's the same everywhere. Yazhou officials are not all bad." Xi Jin comforted Lan'er.
Thinking about Liang Qingshan yesterday, Vice General Liang seemed to be an upright person.
At this moment, Liang Qingshan, whom Xi Jin was talking about, was chatting happily with a senior general in the military tent.
"Ziyuan, let me tell you, there is a man named Xie Luo among the prisoners this time, and his archery skills are really top-notch."
The general who was called Ziyuan was sitting at his desk painting. After hearing his words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is he really that powerful?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but you know, he can shoot four arrows at once, and the arrows hit the red heart. I haven't seen such a powerful person for a long time. The last time was when you first came to Yazhou." Liang Qingshan's eyes showed incomparable admiration.
"What did you say his name was?" Gu Ziyuan raised his eyes, his pupils trembling slightly.
"Xie Luo." Liang Qingshan took a sip of water, "What? Do you know him?"
Gu Ziyuan lowered his eyes, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and shook his head: "I don't know him."
"You are all from Beijing, but you have never heard of such a powerful person?" Liang Qingshan said in disbelief.
Gu Ziyuan's pen tip paused, and the black ink smeared on the drawing paper: "I have been away from Beijing for almost three years."
"Yes." Liang Qingshan nodded indifferently and saw the portrait written by Gu Ziyuan, "I said Ziyuan, are you really planning to marry Xiyu?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Ziyuan took up his pen and changed the smudged area into a hairpin, "What's wrong?"
Liang Qingshan reached out and touched the beautiful woman in Gu Ziyuan's painting: "Why not? How can you marry someone else when you have someone in your heart? Xiyu is my cousin, you must not betray her."
"What? Do you like Xiyu?" Gu Ziyuan looked at Liang Qingshan with burning eyes, "If you like it, I will let you go."
"How is that possible?" Liang Qingshan refused, "Xiyu's size..."
"Ziyuan, to be honest, I feel sorry for you. I met that woman from Beijing today and said that Xie Luo's wife, although she looks dark, can't resist her beauty. , His eyes are so clear and intelligent, it makes people like him just looking at him.”
"Did you know? She knew I was Vice General Liang just by looking at me like that. Do you think she is smart or not? And..."
"Liang Qingshan, you talk a bit too much today." Gu Ziyuan interrupted him coldly.
"I...I'm just chatting with you. Xie Luo's wife is really..."
"Shut up!" Before Liang Qingshan finished speaking, Gu Ziyuan scolded him coldly, "Don't imitate Feng Shen and do that thing of bullying men and dominating women. Since Xie Luo has the ability, you should respect him even more My wife."
"I... of course I won't. Today I rescued Xie Luo's daughter-in-law from Feng Shen. I look up to Xie Luo. This Xie Luo might become the second you."
"Really?" Gu Ziyuan looked up from the painting, "I'll have to see it some other time."
