The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 44
Xu was able to see Chu Xi’s attitude clearly, but Zuo Ming restrained a lot on the road afterwards. Except for seeing Wen Fei with defensive gaze from time to time, there is no other way to go beyond the rules, which really surprised Wen Fei.
Chu Xi didn’t think it was any surprise. The family cultivated subordinates, and loyalty was the first priority. Zuo Ming may not be smart or careful enough, but at least his loyalty is indisputable-he is loyal to Chu Erlang, so he will do his best to the Lang Jun’s instructions, even if he uses too much force to offend people. But Chu Xi is also the master, how could Zuo Ming remain indifferent to her warning?
Zuo Ming only felt that he was really too difficult. He had no choice but to pretend to be dead.
So on the next road, Chu Jiahucong was much more settled under Zuo Ming’s leadership, and apart from the persistence of rushing back to Jiangzhou, he did not interfere with the two of them. Wen Fei, for some reason, seemed to be a little more eager to hurry.
It was night—the pedestrians didn’t find a suitable place to stay in the middle of the journey, so they had to choose an empty woodland leeward for camping.
The obedience of the Chu family was very careful, especially after Chu Xi said about the wolf encounter in the mountains the previous night, the obedience who originally arranged the camp extremely well added more traps outside the camp, and the arrangement of the night vigil was also Add more people, and be sure to do nothing-loss.
Wen Feite patrolled the circle and pointed out a few more arrangements. After seeing that Chu Jiahu had handled it properly, he returned to the center of the camp. When I went back, I saw that the bonfire in the middle of the camp was already burning. Chu Xi was throwing wormwood into it. No-after that, white smoke rose up, and the whole camp was enveloped in the familiar smell of wormwood. The mosquitoes began to disperse gradually.
Throwing the last bit of wormwood into the fire, Chu Xi took out her veil and wiped her hands. She raised her eyes and saw Wen Fei coming back, so she asked: “How is it, what can I miss?”
Wen Fei lifted his robe and sat down beside Chu Xi, and shook his head when he heard Yan: “No, it’s good. You can sleep peacefully tonight.”
The two talked, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy, and they seemed to gradually get used to being surrounded by others. As for those who look over from time to time, or are curious or inquiring or defensive, they are all ignored by their aspirations. So that Zuo Ming stared at the fruitless, pretending to be dead and unwilling, so he had to appear in front of the two from time to time and wander around, playing a role that is better than nothing.
No, just after the two had spoken for a while, Zuo Ming wandered over again. However, he is smarter than before in that he no longer directs directly at Wen Fei, but has business affairs every time he appears, such as this time he brought dry food.
Chu Xi didn’t keep him, so he sent the people away after receiving the dry food, and instead invited Wen Fei to have a meal.
In the summer, there were not many dry foods, and the jerky and dry cakes were as hard as rocks, so the two of them searched for branches and skewered the dry food on the fire to bake. After baking like this for a while, the jerky and dried cakes will become softer and easier to eat.
Chu Xi didn’t want Wen Fei to take care of her. She was roasting the tree branch by herself. When she happened to look back at Wen Fei, she found that she was staring at the fire in a daze… This was not the first time. Chu Xi thought about it carefully. After finding that it seemed as if Wen Fei came back from picking green plums for her, she wandered away from time to time, and seemed to be more concerned and urgent about rushing.
So tonight, they walked until dark before setting up camp here. Regardless of the followers, Chu Xi herself is a little hungry, but it is a pity that the dry food can’t bite, and the green plum will only be hungry even if she eats it.
As soon as Chu Xi thought of being hungry, she suddenly smelled a burnt smell in her nose. She hurriedly removed the dry food she was roasting, and took it back carefully-looking at it, she found that it was not her own dry food, but Wen Fei’s that was roasting, so she hurriedly pushed Wen Fei’s arm holding the dry food-“Don’t Lost your mind, your dry food is going to be burned!”
Wen Fei came back to his senses after being pushed back by this, and reacted slowly, and hurriedly took the dry food back to take a look. Sure enough, it was battered, and it was not a normal batter. Half of the pancake was roasted black, and I couldn’t eat it anymore.
Chu Xi also saw it, and sighed and took a new one to her: “That can’t be eaten, let’s bake it again.”
Wen Fei should be fine. Originally, he wanted to throw the baked pancakes directly into the fire. Later, after thinking about it, he gave up. She put the roasted pancakes aside, took new skewers and re-baked, frowning quietly without rushing.
When Chu Xi saw it, she finally couldn’t hold back, and asked, “What happened to you these past few days? Why did you suddenly lose your soul?” After finishing speaking, she paused, and then said: “Moreover, the journey has become anxious. You are so anxious. Are you rushing to Jiangzhou?”
This sentence seemed to break something, Jiang Zhou also had no deep meaning for the two of them—before they left Chang’an, they both believed that each other was not their own good match, and had no intention of obeying the marriage. However, after sharing the joys and sorrows of this journey, Wen Fei has helped Chu Xi several times. It is impossible to say that the original intention remains unchanged. But feelings are not controlled by people, but reality can pour enough cold water on people.
-Once back in Jiangzhou, Chu Xi has an older brother as a support, but at the same time, he will be restrained by his brother. Don’t talk about what happened to Wen Fei then, maybe you won’t even be free to go out!
Wen Fei ignored the first question, and faced the latter question with unquestionable seriousness: “We have been delayed long enough outside, and your brother should be anxious. It is better to rush to Jiangzhou as soon as possible.”
After hearing the words, Chu Xi stared at Wen Fei for a long time, and looked at people away from her gaze, suddenly feeling a little disappointed in her heart.
************************************************** *************************
The conversation on the eve of the night could be regarded as a breakup, but it didn’t seem to affect the two of them. The next day they were still walking along, and Chu Xi’s attitude was also open and natural.
Wen Fei secretly observed-Fan, seeing that Chu Xi looked the same, and then he exhaled a lot.
The weather was still good that day, the sun was shining, but it was hot on the body. Chu Jiahusong was a carefully selected young man. After being exposed to the sun for half a day, he felt a little faint at noon.
Zuo Ming was frightened by Chu Xi’s frailty before, and now he doesn’t dare to be too ruthless on the road. Almost every half an hour he finds a cool place to rest, and noon is to avoid the peak of the sun. Even if he walked a little longer at night and camped in the dark, he didn’t dare to tire Chu Xi. Fortunately, with such care, coupled with the green plum provided by Wen Fei, Chu Xi’s journey afterwards was much easier.
At noon, pedestrians stopped as usual, looking for a shade of trees to take a break.
Chu Jiahu scattered from all around, some people drank horses, some rested, and some eagerly ate dry food to fill their stomachs… But today, unlike usual, the rebels who had been doing their own things suddenly gathered together, and seven or eight people gathered together. Do something.
Both Chu Xi and Wen Fei saw it, but neither of them had any curiosity, and they didn’t intend to bother. They drank the water and occasionally talked about gossip, until they saw the blue smoke rising, and then they knew that the followers had made a fire. Most of these followers had a rough life, and the dry food was eaten directly. What did the fire suddenly start at this time? !
Not only were Chu Xi and Wen Fei curious, but Zuo Ming was also curious, so they took the initiative to check it out and saw that the group of people were picking up two rabbits and putting them on the shelf.
When Zuo Ming saw this, he couldn’t help being curious: “Where did you get the rabbit and when did you catch it?”
As the leader of Hu Cong, Zuo Ming seemed to ask casually about this, but no one dared to answer indiscriminately, for fear of being caught by him and neglecting his duty. So the young man who took out the rabbit hurriedly explained: “Leader, listen to me, I didn’t catch this rabbit. We drove on the road before, didn’t I walk at the end, but I met these two rabbits as we walked. Up.”
When he said this, he suddenly became excited, and he explained with a gesture: “I wanted to catch it at the time, but weren’t we on the way, I didn’t dare to delay. In the end, these were two stupid rabbits from the forest. It’s nothing more than running out, seeing people not only don’t know how to run, but also bumps up…My horse hoof—kick, these two hit the horse hoof, didn’t I just pick it up for a fight?”
After the young man finished speaking, someone next to him echoed: “Yes, that’s right, I saw it at the time. I heard people talk about waiting for the rabbit before, but I really haven’t seen such a stupid rabbit rushing to die.”
Everyone was talking lively, and it was also the cheeks sore from eating dry food recently, and they all wanted to eat stew to improve their food.
Seeing everyone talking, Zuo Ming had some doubts in his heart, but he didn’t delve into it any further. He glanced at the two rabbits that were still stripped and ordered, and said: “Lao Zhang has the best barbeque craftsmanship, and he will send it to the girl when he finishes it.”
Everyone responded, and they didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it, and they were happily planning to continue.
But at this moment, a clear voice interrupted everyone’s movements: “Don’t eat this rabbit, or throw it away.”
The voice fell to the ground, and the lively atmosphere suddenly stagnated, but Wen Fei and Chu Xi came side by side when everyone was looking for fame. They saw that Chu Xi came here and did it first-Li, but Wen Fei’s previous words also made everyone unhappy. However, due to Wen Fei’s identity, no one dared to question it. Only the proud young man couldn’t help but muttered in a low voice: “Good rabbit, why don’t you let us eat it?!”
The young man’s voice was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by the people around him, so dissatisfaction surged in the hearts of these defenders. It just so happened that Wen Fei’s ears were so clever that he actually heard these words and said: “Don’t eat them, just burn them.”
Now the followers of the Chu family became even more dissatisfied, even if they were speechless, the atmosphere became depressed.
Chu Xi knew that Wen Fei was not a targetless person, let alone bullying others based on his identity. She didn’t rush to ask the reason, and first gave Zuo Ming a wink. Although the latter was full of misgivings, she still threw the erected rabbit into the fire two steps forward.
The followers became even more angry, and only felt that the other party was targeting, and some even raised their eyes and looked at Wen Fei angrily. But at this moment, Chu Xi said: “Why can’t this rabbit eat? You should explain to me.”
When Chu Xi took the initiative to speak, the atmosphere relaxed again, and everyone was waiting for Wen Fei to explain. Wen Fei looked at her with a slight silence, after all he told her guess: “I suspect that these two rabbits are sick.”
These words—the retinues just wanted to laugh—the two rabbits were a little stupid, but what’s the explanation for being sick? !
However, before the followers rolled their eyes, they heard Fei spit out two more words: “Plague!”
The author has something to say: Chu Xi (doubt): Are you so anxious to go to Jiangzhou, is it because you are tired of me and want to hand me over to my brother?
Wen Fei (denying): I am not, I don’t have it, it’s impossible!
Chu Xi (Tentative): Then you want to make it clear, fulfill the marriage contract?
Wen Fei (panic): Ah, this…
