The next day, Mo Shixi and Huan Rongxing started packing their things.
Give some of the temporarily unused things at home to the hunters and poor families in the village, so that they can help take care of them when you are not at home.
After that, it was time to worship Grandma Mo.
Three days later, the two got on an ox cart and arrived in the town.
Mo Shixi put on a long Tsing Yi dress with narrow sleeves, and Huan Rongxing put on the Tsing Yi robe that Mo Shixi bought for him in the town before.
Dressed in the same color scheme, if you are not familiar with the relationship between the two, it is easy to misunderstand their relationship.
Ruan Jiaxin's face, standing at the door of the inn, was not normal.
Ruan Jiaxin's smile collapsed. No matter how big-hearted she is, she will become a perceptive judge when facing the person she likes.
Qin Songyun noticed something was wrong with Ruan Jiaxin's expression, and quickly bumped her gently with his elbow several times as a reminder.
Ruan Jiaxin thought of Songyun's words to persuade her yesterday and looked up at Huan Rongxing.
He was not very satisfied with his hostile attitude and quickly lowered his head to adjust his expression.
Soon, with a pretty smile on her face, she spoke generously:
"Brother Huan, Miss Mo, you are here. Have you had breakfast? I brought some pastries here to cushion your stomach."
I don’t know what they said to Ruan Jiaxin, but she was able to adjust her mood so quickly this time.
Although her attitude is not enthusiastic now, there is not much hostility either, and she will occasionally smile at her.
Little did she know that it was Qin Songyun's words of persuasion that gave her confidence: it was just a life-saving grace, and it was absolutely no match for her long-term companionship.
"No, we made it with breakfast, thank you Miss Ruan."
Mo Shixi didn't feel any hostility, so she was naturally not afraid and responded generously.
After greeting each other, they decided to set off.
It is a long way from here to Rongcheng, and it is impractical to rely on human power to walk step by step.
The four of them bought some dry food in the town and also bought three horses.
Mo Shixi cannot ride a horse, so he rides with Huan Rongxing.
Originally, Ruan Jiaxin wanted to ride with Mo Shixi because "men and women are not intimate with each other", but her riding skills were so sloppy. Huan Rongxing was afraid that she would throw Mo Shixi off, so she refused because "people in the world don't stick to trivial matters."
Originally, Ruan Jiaxin grew up as a pampered young lady in Rongcheng, and was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, martial arts and horse riding skills were all learned temporarily in order to follow Huan Rongxing. If you can use them yourself, you are already very good.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, the four of them hurried on as soon as possible, trying to reach their next destination before dark.
Sometimes they would be lucky enough to arrive in the town and find an inn to rest and replenish supplies. Sometimes they would also temporarily find some houses where farmers lived and they would be paid to stay temporarily.
I was really unlucky to encounter the wilderness, so I gathered some firewood and made a fire and slept with the sky as my quilt.
Mo Shixi had never experienced such a wanton life with a bit of wildness, but she found it very interesting.
Especially spending a long time with Huan Rongxing's male friend changed her bad initial impression of him.
Qin Songyun also has a heartless character. Although there was some conflict when they first met, after the misunderstanding was resolved, he happily greeted Mo Shixi and got along with him. He would also take the initiative to take on heavy tasks while showing his big white teeth.
When nothing happens, when a few people gather together, he will be more useful.
Qin Songyun himself was young. He ran away from home for the first time and was killed by a villain. He was rescued by Huan Rongxing and has been following him ever since.
The young man is very playful and gets excited when talking about the exciting things that happened when he was traveling in the world.
He was very eloquent and talked about his past experiences as if he were telling an interesting story. He was vivid and vivid, and easily attracted Mo Shixi, who was already very interested in the world.
Every time he started speaking, Mo Shixi would come close to him and listen attentively, his facial expressions changing as he spoke.
When she heard about the dangerous place, her eyes widened and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, worrying about the safety of the people inside;
When I hear them punishing evil and promoting good, and slapping corrupt officials and evil people in the face, I will be even more happy for them and clap my hands in celebration.
In fact, Qin Songyun has told these stories many times, but none of them have been as enthusiastic as Mo Shixi's feedback.
Huan Rongxing is taciturn and will listen carefully to what he says but will not give any response.
Ruan Jiaxin had heard many wonderful storytellers in restaurants and inns when she was in Rongcheng, and most of the things he told had Qin Songyun himself as the protagonist. She preferred Huan Rongxing and was not very enthusiastic when listening to his stories.
Over time, the number of times he looked back on his "heroic past" became much less frequent.
Now that he has a supportive audience like Mo Shixi, Qin Songyun regains his enthusiasm, huddles together every day, and performs a big show with branches and bamboo sticks that he got from nowhere.
Unknowingly, the relationship between the two became much closer.
One day, the four of them rode horses much faster than expected that day, and were only an hour away from their destination.
It was only noon at this time, so we could definitely reach the place before dark.
So Huan Rongxing discussed with everyone for a moment and decided to take a temporary rest in the wild, eat some dry food and rest for half an hour to replenish his energy.
Posting the horse on a big tree nearby, Huan Rongxing found a big tree that had been struck down by lightning, and called Shi Xi to come and sit down.
"Shixi, here."
Unexpectedly, she sat next to Qin Songyun first, and handed a piece of her favorite shortbread from her bag to Qin Songyun beside her:
"Brother A Xing, no need. I'm sitting with Brother Qin. He said to tell me today about the time you bravely went to Taojiazhai to fight the bandits."
The girl's clear eyes looked at Qin Songyun with admiration, as if he was the most dazzling light at this time.
"But I went to Taojiazhai because Songyun was caught by bandits..."
Huan Rongxing was a little speechless for a moment, with infinite panic in his heart, and he quickly wanted to tell the "truth" of the matter.
"Oh, even heroes can make mistakes. Although I was caught, I battled wits with the bandit leader inside, and delivered extremely critical information to Brother Huan at the last moment."
Extremely critical information?
Does it mean that the eldest boss in the village did not take his wife with him when he escaped, but abducted the widow of the third boss?
"Really? How did you do it? Brother Qin, tell me quickly."
It's a pity that Shi Xi couldn't see through the fact that Qin Songyun could only talk a lot, and she even pestered him to go into details in a coquettish tone of anticipation.
For the first time, Huan Rongxing hated himself for being clumsy and taciturn. He had something to say to Shi Xi, but most of the time he expressed it through actions.
The stories he told about his experiences in the world were not as vivid as Qin Songyun's. They were not interesting at all. He couldn't attract Shi Xi's attention, and it was even harder to get entangled by girls acting coquettishly!
At this moment, he was keenly aware of the difference between Mo Shixi and Qin Songyun, and his eyes were obscure.
One is a good brother who lives and dies together, and the other is the object of his first love. Huan Rongxing's always calm heart is in turmoil.
