The sun shines through the gaps between the dense trees and shines on everyone. It may be the cold night, but a little morning light feels so warm, and everyone slowly wakes up.
Qi'er felt a little touched when she saw that she was wearing Gongsun Yu's robe. She looked around but didn't see Gongsun Yu, and the bonfire had been put out long ago.
Zhu Fu saw Qi'er wearing Gongsun Yu's robe and chuckled, "Young Master Yu looks cold on the outside, but actually he still cares about you?"
Qi'er finally heard Zhu Fu's pleasant words and said, "Where are the others so early in the morning?"
Yuzhu guessed, "Are you looking for something to eat?"
Qi'er asked: "How do you know?"
Yuzhu guessed: "We didn't bring anything to eat. We will have to walk a long way in a while, so we must prepare breakfast."
Luan Yue saw that the bow and arrow were gone and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go see the young master."
Gao Yan said, "The mountains and forests are very big. You'd better not go there. Mr. Yu still has a way."
Zhu Fu also said, "Yeah, don't go there yet. Besides, you don't know which direction he is going?"
Luan Yue was still hesitating when she saw Gongsun Yu bringing a few pheasants over. Luan Yue hurried to pick them up, and everyone started to roast the game.
Qi'er took Gongsun Yu's robe, came over and handed it to him, and said lightly, "Thank you, Master Yu, for the robe."
Obviously Qi'er is not thanking him? Thanks for the clothes? Gongsun Yu didn't say anything, but took the robe and put it on.
After everyone finished breakfast, they continued on the road. Gongsun Yu thought about Qi'er's words yesterday and deliberately walked slowly.
Qi'er also feels that today's journey is a bit slow?
At some point, the originally sunny sky suddenly turned cloudy. Gongsun Yu said calmly, "It's going to rain. Let's find a place to take shelter quickly."
Everyone walked as fast as they could, but they still couldn't find a place to take shelter from the rain. The rain poured down, and everyone hurriedly used things to cover themselves.
Gao Yan and Qi'er didn't prepare umbrellas. Gao Yan used to have others prepare them for him when he went out, but this time he was intentional. He was being hunted at the time, so he had no time to think about bringing money.
Qi'er had never traveled far and had never thought of the concept of an umbrella.
Luan Yue gave the umbrella to Gao Yan at Gongsun Yu's signal, and he and Gongsun Yu took one.
Yuzhu quickly held up an umbrella with Qi'er, while Zhu Fu held it by himself.
The rain was so heavy that everyone who held an umbrella could not help but get wet. Everyone walked hard with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Finally, they found a big banyan tree that could take shelter from the rain. The banyan tree had intertwined roots and dense branches and leaves. Occasionally, there would be a few people taking shelter under the tree. Drops of rain fall.
Everyone was arranging their wet clothes. Everyone sighed at the weather at the end of October. How could it rain so heavily?
Zhu Fu saw that the five of them were all wet, and he was holding an umbrella alone. It was a little better, and he said to Qi'er and Gao Yan, "You are worthy of being brothers and sisters. You don't bring an umbrella when you go out."
Qi'er glanced at him and said, "Why didn't you donate your umbrella back then? Are you making sarcastic remarks now?"
Zhu Fu said with a silly smile, "If you bring umbrellas, each of you will only have one. Why do you still need me to contribute?"
Qi'er looked at the huge banyan tree and the rain outside, and said, "There won't be any thunder this day, right? If it thunders, will we be easily struck?"
"Haha, then you must have done too many bad things..." Zhu Fu joked.
"It's common sense...forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you." Qi'er couldn't explain.
After the heavy rain, there was a light drizzle that continued for several hours. Everyone could only take shelter under the trees, and their clothes were half dry due to their own body temperature.
My stomach was growling with hunger, and I regretted not leaving any of the game this morning.
The rain finally stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Everyone could only continue on their way. Because it had just rained, the road was muddy and slippery. Walking was very difficult. Qi'er was not used to walking on such a road and almost fell down several times. Gongsun Yu I tried to pull Qi'er's arm several times, but was pulled up by Yuzhu beside Qi'er.
Everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain one after another. It was almost evening. They were tired and hungry, and wanted to find a place to stay to fill their stomachs first.
After asking for directions, they found that the nearest inn had to be walked for four or five kilometers, so everyone could only continue walking. The mountain road was muddy and bumpy just now, but this flat path was much easier to walk, and they all felt that their steps were lighter.
Everyone was exhausted from walking for a while without eating, so they sat down to rest.
A woman was dressed simply, half of her skirt was wet, she was carrying some gifts on her back, walking hard with a cane, and holding a two-year-old girl in her other hand, who was crying.
The woman leaned on the crutch and gently touched the child's forehead. It was a little hot. She was a little worried. She looked up at the dark sky and coaxed the child, "Fanfan, hold on, I will take you to see a doctor soon."
The child cried louder, and the woman sighed and had to sit down to comfort her.
Zhu Fu saw that the woman looked like she had just been exposed to the rain, so he went over to chat with her and said, "Sister, where are you going?"
The woman looked up at Zhu Fu and the others, and replied tiredly, "Go to Sizhou."
Zhu Fu looked at the child in her arms, feeling a little lethargic and angry, and asked, "What's wrong with this little girl?"
The eldest sister said, "It rained just now, and the child is small..." After saying this, her eyes were a little moist.
Zhu Fu said, "We are also going to Sizhou. This road is the only way from Liangzhou to Sizhou." After that, he tentatively asked, "I see you salute very heavily. We are going together, or I can help you carry it... you can hug me." Holding the baby... She seems to be a bit cold..." Seeing that the woman was worried, she added, "We are not bad people, we just feel that we are on the same journey..."
The woman saw that the child kept throwing tantrums, and it was getting dark, so she could only ask Zhu Fu to help carry the salute.
Zhu Fu asked his eldest sister along the way and learned that her surname was Shen. She had just become a widow and went to Sizhou to find relatives.
Qi'er walked slowly, clutching her stomach unconsciously and looking ugly. Yuzhu asked her concernedly, but she only said that she was fine and gave Yuzhu a look, and Yuzhu understood instantly.
Zhu Fu said, "Could it be a stomachache? I must have been in a hurry yesterday... This pregnancy is most afraid of stomachaches..."
Qi'er quickly stopped and said, "Who said I have a stomachache? I just... just have a stomachache from hunger..." As she said this, she couldn't help but cover her stomach again.
Gongsun Yu also noticed that Qi'er looked ugly and asked, "Are you really okay?"
Qi'er glanced at Gongsun Yu and said awkwardly, "It's okay, I'm just...hungry..."
Qi'er secretly sighed: "I've only been walking for less than two days and I'm so exhausted. I finally realize that I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy." Thinking about my previous body, I was as strong as an ox and I never knew what it felt like to be sick. When I came here, I was trapped in this fragile little body. A single menstrual cramp made me doubt life. It was really thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
It's hard to walk and you look pale. How can you be hungry? Gongsun Yu couldn't ask why he had a stomachache? A trace of heartache flashed across her face, and she said to Yuzhu, who was supporting Qi'er, "I'll do it!"
As soon as Yuzhu let go, he heard Gongsun Yu say to Qi'er, "Shall I carry you?"
Qi'er said awkwardly, "No need..."
Gongsun Yu had already squatted down and said, "Hurry up, there are still several kilometers, you can't hold on."
Qi'er really had an unbearable stomachache, so she had no choice but to lie on Gongsun Yu's body. His tight shoulders were quite thick and comfortable, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
Everyone finally found an inn. They asked for five rooms, one each for Gongsun Yu, Gao Yan, Luan Yue, and Zhu Fu. Qi'er still planned to share a room with Yu Zhu.
Gongsun Yu and the others ordered some food downstairs, went upstairs to their rooms, changed into clean clothes, and put down their bags. Since they were all hungry, they went downstairs to eat.
Yuzhu was relieved to see Qi'er's face looking better.
Qi'er saw that Zhu Fu and Sister-in-law Shen were not there, and said, "This Zhu Fu went to ask a doctor for Sister-in-law Shen's child before he changed his clothes or even eaten. He is really thoughtful..."
"It's time for you to calm down your ears." Yuzhu scooped up a bowl of hot egg soup and handed it to Qi'er.
Qi'er naturally knew the benefits of Yuzhu's bowl of soup. The two of them smiled knowingly, and Qi'er picked it up and blew it slowly before drinking it.
"This soup is too hot, please drink it slowly..." Gao Yan reminded.
Qi'er drank the egg soup and said, "They say there is a lot of trouble at the widow's door, and Zhu Fu doesn't shy away from it."
Yuzhu said, "Maybe he sees Sister Shen as pitiful..."
Qi'er said angrily: "He's so nosy that he never knows when he'll be free."
Gao Yan asked: "Do you think he is meddling in your business?"
"I didn't say..." In fact, Qi'er just felt that Zhu Fu was meddling in his own business.
Gongsun Yu said leisurely, "You can't even take time off yourself, and you don't see the young man in charge of your own business? Do you still have a reason to discipline others?"
Qi'er didn't know that Gongsun Yu was talking about Guan Gaoyan, because if he had ignored Gaoyan, she wouldn't have known Zhu Fu, which made her embarrassed all the time. She glanced at Gongsun Yu and said nothing.
After everyone had eaten, they went upstairs. They wanted to go back to their own rooms, but they saw Zhu Fu coming out of his room and said, "Qi'er, I'll hire a doctor for Sister Shen's child, and I'll let you take a look at it later?"
Zhu Fu's words frightened everyone. Qi'er was not pregnant at all. If Zhu Fu knew this, he would definitely doubt them again. Besides, they had not left Liangzhou. Zhu Fu was also a minor official in Liangzhou, regardless of his size. If he went to report it, neither Gongsun Yu nor Gao Yan would be able to escape.
Qi'er was about to enter the room with Yuzhu, but Gongsun Yu grabbed his hand and said, "They say newlyweds, how can they live with Yuzhu for the rest of their lives?" Before Qi'er could react, he was pulled into the room by Gongsun Yu. .
Zhu Fu asked with concern, "Master Yu, don't you want the doctor to take a look at Qi'er? This pregnant person really can't have a stomachache..."
Gongsun Yu said calmly, "It's not that she has a stomachache, but... she thinks I ignored her all the way."
Zhu Fu asked again, "Isn't it really a stomachache? It's so similar, I thought it was real..."
"You haven't eaten yet? The inn doesn't prepare dinner after it's late." Gongsun Yu said and closed the door.
Everyone went back to their respective rooms, leaving Zhu Fu standing there alone.
The door was closed, and Qi'er wanted to break away from Gongsun Yu's hand. Gongsun Yu held Qi'er's hand tightly and asked with concern, "Why does your stomach hurt? We all eat the same thing. Did you eat too much of something bad?" "Thinking about the times when Qi'er was greedy.
Qi'er said awkwardly, "No...it doesn't hurt..."
"There's no blood on your face and your hands are cold. Are you telling me you don't feel any pain?"
"Oh... don't ask, you don't understand even if you tell me..." Before Qi'er sat down, Gongsun Yu was pulled up and asked in concern, "How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?"
Qi'er smiled bitterly and said sarcastically, "That's right. Is there anything else you don't know about Gongsun Yu?" After saying that, he broke away from his hand and was about to go out, saying, "I'd better go back..."
