After a brief chat with Xiang Hongji, Lu Jin already guessed that the two must have known each other before.
Lu Jin tested the water and said with a warm smile: "Sister, wash it quickly, otherwise the water will get cold. We can chat while washing it."
Xiang Hongji sat down in the barrel obediently, and with Lu Jin's help, washed away the medicinal mud covering her body.
Lu Jin incidentally told Bailihuan's treatment process yesterday, and Xiang Hongji felt complicated after learning that Lu Jin was assisting her throughout the process.
After all the medicinal mud was removed, yesterday's dark skin became smooth and delicate, and the snow-white skin was rosy. Even Lu Jin couldn't help but touch it a few times.
"Sister's skin is so smooth!" Lu Jin praised.
Xiang Hongji also noticed that her skin was indeed much smoother than usual. She said modestly: "My sister praised me. I am young and a hundred times stronger than my sister."
She stood up and soaked in the turbid potion. Lu Jin found a quilt to cover her, and ran out to report to Baili Huan: "Brother Baili, I did everything as you said. Is it time to go in and continue healing?"
Baili Huan walked into the lobby and leaned against the barrel towards Hong Ji. The quilt covered the barrel and only her head was exposed.
"Miss, please move forward. I want to gain luck from your back." Baili Huan came up behind Xiang Hongji and said.
Leaning forward towards Hongji, her snow-white back sparkled under the lamp because of the water droplets.
Baili Huan moved her palms tightly against the acupuncture points on Xiang Hongji's back to cleanse the toxins remaining in her body.
Not long after, Lu Jin saw thick white smoke coming out of the barrel, which could not be covered by the quilt, and heard the sound of water bubbling.
Could it be that the water in the barrel is boiling?
But looking at Hong Ji's expression, she looked like she was enjoying herself very much.
Lu Jin was not sure, so he put his hand through the gap in the quilt to try. The water temperature was just right and not hot.
"It's so awesome, what kind of skill?" Lu Jin was surprised and shouted out.
Looking at the two people again, perhaps at the critical moment, no one dared to say anything, for fear of giving up halfway.
Just as Lu Jin was about to turn around, the white smoke coming out of the barrel tried to lift up the quilt covering it. She was so frightened that she quickly stretched out her hand to hold it down.
About half an hour later, the white smoke from the barrel gradually became thinner, and the sound of bubbles inside was no longer heard.
"The water is dirty, so you can't soak it anymore. You should be fine after it recovers." Bailihuan wiped the sweat on her face with her hands, walked out and closed the door.
Lu Jin helped Xiang Hongji wipe her body, but found that her original dress was dirty, so she said, "Just wait, I'll bring something clean as soon as I can."
After leaving the door and asking the people outside not to break in, Lu Jin went back to find her own clothes and put them on Xiang Hongji.
Xiang Hongji dressed up and went out to prostrate herself in front of Bailihuan: "Thank you so much, brother Bailihuan, for saving your life. My little lady, thank you!"
Bailihuan was so frightened that she quickly helped her up: "I'm sorry to you, girl. If Yeguimen hadn't left a large amount of medicinal materials and residues for me to refer to, I wouldn't have been able to figure out the right prescription so quickly, including Brother Shengchao. of credit."
Xiang Hongji glanced at Gu Shengchao, stared at Baili Huan and said, "You are the one who saved my life. Of course I want to thank you. As for the Shengchao brothers, that is another matter."
"Yes, yes, my role is insignificant, and Brother Baili is indispensable." Gu Shengchao said happily: "It's good that everyone is safe and sound. The food in the front yard has been prepared a long time ago. Let's go eat first."
The cook in the front yard had already prepared the meal, and several people went to eat happily.
After eating, Bailihuan continued to study how to deal with Yeguimen poison, and Xiang Hongji and Lu Jin went back to the backyard to rest.
Ancient Sage Chao had nothing to do and went to the inn to take back his and Lu Jin's mounts.
At that time, because there was no fodder in the courtyard, the horses were temporarily stored in an inn for easy feeding. Now the county magistrate delivers a large number of items every day, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Naturally, there will be no shortage of fodder. The ancient sage misses his BMW Zhui Feng. .
I haven't been out for a few days. When I came to the streets today, I found that there were more people walking on the road. It was probably because everyone knew that the evil ghost was behind the scenes and came back one after another.
antiquity
Sheng Chao walked into the inn. The old man was boiling water in the courtyard. In addition to Zhui Feng and Lu Jin's horses, the old man's own cattle and several other people's horses were among the horsemen.
The town is safe, and the animals don't have to be kept smelly in the house.
A young man was busy, and it seemed that someone was staying at the hotel.
"Old man, I'm here to lead the horse." Gu Shengchao stepped forward to say hello.
"Master Gu." The old man hurriedly put down the firewood in his hand and stepped forward to salute.
The county magistrate comes often these days, and people all know Gu Shengchao's identity, and the old man is particularly in awe of him.
"Don't be polite, old man. I just came here to take a look. The inn has hired more people, so the business must have picked up." Gu Shengchao was also happy that the town was prospering again.
The old man said respectfully, "Thanks to Mr. Tuogu, people pass by the hotel every day these days, so I had to ask my nephew to come over and help."
"Hey, isn't the old man's son in the capital? Wouldn't it be nice to ask him to come back?" Gu Shengchao asked casually.
"well!"
The old man sighed helplessly: "I regret that I should have asked him to learn martial arts. When his wings became stiff, he ignored me as an old man. I have never seen him again except for two years ago when he came back to recuperate from a chest injury."
The ancient sage was stunned.
Two years ago, Pengjiawan suffered a chest injury.
Gu Shengchao thought of the night when he and Ding Ying first met. Didn't Fan Datou get shot in the chest by Ding Ying?
"Is the old man's surname Fan, and his son is called Fan Datou outside?" Gu Shengchao was not sure and asked hesitantly.
The old man was ecstatic and grabbed Gu Shengchao's arm. He suddenly realized his identity and immediately stepped back a few steps: "Master Gu knows my child. Where is he? His head is bigger than ordinary people, so people call him that. .”
Gu Shengchao smiled and said: "We have met several times, but unfortunately we didn't know each other at the time. I will tell him personally next time that my old father in my hometown is waiting for him to come back."
"Thank you, Master Gu." The old man was grateful.
Gu Shengchao took the horse back to the old house and went to the backyard. Xiang Hongji and Lu Jin were competing in boxing and kicking skills in the open space in front of the small building.
"Oh, are you doing it now?" Gu Shengchao could tell at a glance that the two of them were just competing, not serious.
He took a few steps back to Hong Ji and said in frustration: "I lost my handy weapon after being poisoned last time. I will build it again another day and compete with the girl again."
"Yes, I brought them all back that day, so I'll pick them up for you." Feng Nanjing happened to be passing by.
He ran back to the house and soon took out a pair of shiny flying tiger claws, which were Xiang Hongji's exclusive weapons.
"I haven't thanked you for the life-saving grace that day, and today you returned the weapon to me. I, I..." Xiang Hongji was so excited that her eyes filled with tears and she was about to kneel down.
Feng Nanjing hurriedly helped me: "Don't be like this. If you hadn't come to save me that day, I would have become a lonely ghost. You are my savior."
During the stalemate between the two, Gu Shengchao interjected: "Since we are all friends, don't be polite. We are all a family!"
"Yes, yes, we are all a family, no one needs to be polite to anyone." Lu Jin separated the two of them.
After dinner that day, Lu Jin had already packed a bedroom for Xiang Hongji, but Xiang Hongji insisted on sleeping in the same room with her. Lu Jin tried to evade it to no avail, and finally had to agree, agreeing that it would be just this night, tomorrow. Must rest separately.
Lu Jin was already sleepy after getting up early, but Xiang Hongji was in high spirits.
Although Lu Jin was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep, Xiang Hongji sat beside her without feeling sleepy and held Lu Jin's hand.
"Good sister, please spare me, I'm really sleepy and want to sleep." Lu Jin was helpless.
Xiang Hongji looked at Lu Jin and said, "I really envy you. Some people love you and some people love you. I have been living a life involuntarily and being bullied since I can remember. I met my sister and fell in love at first sight. Why don't we marry Jinlan and become members of the opposite sex? Sisters!"
"Tomorrow, I'm really sleepy." Lu Jin yawned. She had been loved by her parents since she was a child. She only suffered a little injustice in the capital with Gu Shengchao. She couldn't understand Xiang Hongji's life of humiliation.
Xiang Hongji pulled her up
Come: "Sister, I beg you, I will not delay your sleep in a while."
Lu Jin reluctantly got out of bed and knelt side by side with Xiang Hongji facing north.
Xiang Hongji first said solemnly: "I, Xiang Hongji, and Lu Jin, have become sisters today. From now on, we will share blessings and share hardships. The emperor, the emperor, and the queen, should learn from this."
Lu Jin followed suit and said, "I, Lu Jin, and Xiang Hongji have become sisters today. From now on, we will share blessings and share hardships. The emperor, the emperor, and the empress are earthbound. Let us learn from this."
The two of them worshiped heaven and earth, took off the silver bracelet from Xiang Hongji's wrist and put it on Lu Jin's wrist: "Sister, I have nothing to give to my sister. I only have this sister to wear it."
Lu Jin took off the agate necklace from her neck and gave it to Xiang Hongji: "Brother Gu gave this to me. I borrowed flowers and offered them to Buddha to give to my sister."
Xiang Hongji pulled Lu Jin up and said mysteriously: "This looks valuable, it can't be a token of love that he gave to his sister. If so, I can't accept it."
Lu Jin went to bed and lay down, his eyelids closed disobediently: "Impossible, he has two wives, and the eldest wife is very powerful, he doesn't dare."
Xiang Hongji immediately guessed Wanruo and asked, "But Wanruo, the Night Charm King of the Four Kings Valley?"
"Why, sister knows her?" Lu Jin asked in surprise.
"We have interacted with each other several times, but we are not very familiar with each other." Xiang Hongji thought of Wan Ruosha Shuang's heroic appearance, but she still felt a little timid.
Xiang Hongji has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a lot of experience. Lu Jin has been with her parents since she was a child and has little experience in the world.
Not long after the two chatted, Lu Jin told Xiang Hongji everything about how she met Gu Shengchao, how she stayed with him shamelessly, and how she came here through crying in the capital.
Xiang Hongji also found it funny when she heard this, and asked her: "You two are alone, so he didn't have any evil thoughts towards you along the way!"
Lu Jin did not answer, but pushed Xiang Hongji gently and found that she was already asleep. No matter how much Xiang Hongji called, she would not wake up, like a dead pig.
"Hey, you are so happy." Xiang Hongji said with envy.
She sat by the bed and pondered for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "Miss Lu Jin's method may seem clumsy, but in fact it is the best way to move a man's heart, so this is what I did."
Xiang Hongji stood up firmly and walked out of the house without hesitation.
