Uncle Huang finally agreed to go on the road with them.

Li Xi ordered people to clear out a carriage for their father and son to ride in. The two people who were staying in it moved out some of the things inside, and one changed to riding a horse, while the other was a young man who followed Li Xi and sat with the groom. Riding the horse together outside the curtain of the carriage.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Xi had allowed the young man to ride in the carriage with him, but the young man was afraid that Zuo Ji would be too boring, and would tease and tease him, so he refused to go in.

Zuo Ji was bored all the way, seeing that Li Xi only knew how to bury his head in reading, he couldn't help posting it and said, "Can you take care of me?"

"What do you want?" Li Xi stared at the book without raising his head.

"Let's chat."

Speaking of which, Zuo Ji felt a little bit resentful when he saw that he didn't even glance at him. In the end, he was really bored. In order to attract his attention, he suddenly said, "Yo! You have white hair!"

Li Xi still ignored him.

Zuo Ji felt bored and didn't want to talk to him anymore, just turning around, he heard the servant outside the carriage say: "Third Master, the front is the Mojia Village where we passed by last time, should we stay there and continue on our way tomorrow morning?"

"Stay overnight now?"

Zuo Ji looked at the sky, it was afternoon.

"Yeah." Li Xi nodded and said, "Because of our pace, we won't be able to make it to the town ahead tonight. If we miss Mojia Village, we can only spend the night in the suburbs tonight."

"... Oh." Zuo Ji understood.

After receiving Li Xi's instructions, the servant following the carriage outside ran to the front and said a few words to a man. The man nodded and led the horse out of the team. He went ahead and ordered ahead of time.

Li Xi and his party used to stay there when they came, so the people sent this time asked the village chief to borrow the place smoothly.

There are only two rooms, one large and one small, inside the ancestral hall.

Zuo Ji, Li Xi, Bai Mayan and Old Man Huang shared a smaller room, while the rest of the people were all arranged to live in another room.

Four people share a room, and there is no place to hide when it is wide open, Zuo Ji can be regarded as seeing the true face of Old Man Huang on Mount Lu.

Nothing special.

There was only an old man, his face was withered and gray, and he looked seriously ill.

He kept staring at Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang felt uncomfortable, picked up a silk handkerchief and coughed. Immediately, Bai Mayan blocked Zuo Ji's sight. When Zuo Ji raised his head, Bai Mayan smiled slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

As soon as the words came out, Zuo Ji stood up and approached, Bai Mayan was slightly startled, but couldn't help but take a step back.

"You..." Zuo Ji stared at his face seriously, and at the end, he stretched out his hand to him.

When Bai Mayan saw it, he was quite surprised. Fortunately, Li Xi grabbed Zuo Ji's hand before it touched his face.

Zuo Ji was pulled away by Li Xi.

Seeing Li Xi staring at him displeased, he was quite puzzled and said, "Why?"

"I'm just..." He wanted to explain, but he pointed at Bai Mayan, but Li Xi walked away. He was bored, and his mouth was flattened.

But, no.

Why does he just feel a bit like it?

It's not about looks.

but feeling.

Why does it always feel a bit like it?

He didn't give up, and in order to prove it, after dinner at night, he turned his mind to Old Man Huang.

After dinner, taking advantage of Old Man Huang's orders, Zuo Ji seized the opportunity to stop beside him.

At this moment, Old Man Huang was sitting by a chair on the fence outside the ancestral hall. Seeing him sitting close to him, he frowned slightly.

"...Is there something wrong?" The weak voice looked old, but under the cover of night, Old Man Huang was much calmer, and he lost the feeling of being thousands of miles away during the day.

"Old man, is the white horse your adopted son raised since childhood? Or did you recognize it because you met and fell in love?"

Uncle Huang rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Zuo Ji frowned.

Doesn't that mean no answer?

"No, isn't that curious." Zuo Ji didn't intend to dig out the bottom line, and laughed twice, and said, "You are a lucky person at first glance, but you are so sick, why is it that the adopted son brought you out to seek medical treatment? ? What about the other sons in your family?"

Uncle Huang laughed when he heard the words "blessed".

He looked up into the distance, and at the end, he was very emotional and sighed.

"...You are right, I... am a blessed person."

He gestured to Zuo Ji: "...Only my son, I have more than a dozen..."

Zuo Ji heard it: Wow!

"so much?"

How many wives do you have?

"It's a pity... some of them are dead, some of them are too young, and now the rest are just... one tiger and one wolf..."

After finishing speaking, there was a severe cough.

He was clearly talking about his son, when a tiger and a wolf appeared suddenly, Zuo Ji couldn't understand what he heard, and wanted to ask, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

What he wanted to inquire about was about Bai Mayan.

He just wanted to change his words and continue to question, but Old Man Huang waved his hand at him, saying that he was tired, staggered, and turned back inside.

If he couldn't ask, he didn't intend to give up.

Because every time he sees Bai Mayan, he will feel a sense of familiarity, which will never go away.

He had seen Lu Hui's ability to disguise himself.

Secretly made up his mind, at night, when everyone fell asleep, he got up secretly and sneaked to Bai Mayan's bedside.

Lifting his head quietly, his eyes glistening in the darkness, he carefully put his hands on the side of the bed, and gently pushed Bai Ma Yan, seeing that he didn't respond, he felt relieved.

He tiptoed to the head of the bed, and he leaned forward to see if there were any traces of tampering on Bai Mayan's face, but because the room was dark, he couldn't see it at all.

Do you really have to touch it with your hands?

After hesitating for 0.01 second, he just stretched out his hand and was arrested before touching Bai Mayan's face.

Bai Mayan sat up with a "squeak".

Zuo Ji was pulled by him like this, his heart raised violently, his mouth was covered by Bai Mayan, Bai Mayan lowered his voice, and asked him softly: "What do you want to do?"

Zuo Ji broke off his hand, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you Mo Jia?"

When Bai Mayan heard the name, he was slightly taken aback.

In the darkness, the two stared at each other.

Bai Mayan's eyes were full of suspicion, and he said to him: "You have been pestering me all this time, just to make sure that I am not that person in disguise?"

"Of course, otherwise, what do you think? Do you think I've taken a fancy to you?"

Bai Mayan suddenly lost his temper.

But now that it's clear, there's nothing to worry about.

"I don't know the person you're talking about."

"I do not believe."

Zuo Ji is not so easy to deal with.

"What do you want?"

After Bai Mayan finished speaking, he was pulled closer by Zuo Ji.

The distance between the two was extremely close.

Even to the point where you can feel the other person's breath.

Zuo Ji knelt on the bed and said to him, "Don't hide."

Bai Mayan had no choice but to cooperate with him patiently so that he would stop bothering him in the future.

Zuo Ji touched his cheek.

The skin is elastic and smooth, and the face is clean and soft, not like fake skin.

Are you really overthinking it?

Zuo Ji frowned.

But I thought again: Could it be that the workmanship is too fine and too good?

He moved closer, intending to touch it seriously, when suddenly, the room was lit up.

The two were slightly startled, and at the end, they both looked at the same side.

I saw that Li Xi held the lit candlestick, stared at them with unusually cold eyes, and asked, "What are you doing?"
