across mountains and seas

The night in the rural town is extremely quiet, so quiet that even the beating of a heart can be heard clearly.The candle lights in the guest room were not extinguished, and when they burned until midnight, the wicks of the candles gradually sank, and the shadows of the lights dimmed.

Liu Xi slept soundly on top of Jing Lan, Jing Lan didn't dare to move, and her heart couldn't calm down for a moment.

Those past and old hatreds in the previous life seemed to have been separated by a lifetime, and gradually became a little blurred.He clearly thought that if he saw Liu Xi again in this life, he would definitely pierce her heart with a sword.But Jing Lan never expected that she would have such an intimate time sleeping with Liu Xi in this life.

Jing Lan lowered her head slightly, looking at Liu Xi's sleeping state.

The Liu family's concubine daughter who was so cruel and merciless in her previous life turned out to be a homeless and ill-fated poor person in this life.It is she who kills decisively, she is gentle like water, she is full of tricks, and she is righteous.

He should have hated her to the bone, but after going through so much life and death, let alone hating her, he couldn't even hate her.

If she wasn't sister-in-law...

This thought suddenly came to mind, Jing Lan frowned slightly, and quickly stopped this dangerous thought.

"I can't be sorry to my elder brother, and have these thoughts that I shouldn't have." Jing Lan warned herself, closing her eyes, not daring to look at Liu Xi any more.

but.

A person who has taken root in his heart, whether it is because of hate or because of liking, even if he doesn't look at it, bits and pieces of that person will emerge in his mind.

This woman Liu Xi is troublesome, shameless, and still lingering, she is the one who opens her eyes, and she is also the one who closes them!

Jing Lan's mood fluctuated, and her heart beat faster.

What is this girl thinking?

Liu Xi didn't make a sound, just lying on her stomach with her eyes squinted quietly.

Everyone thought about it, and before they knew it, the sky was already bright.

After the two were fully dressed, Jing Lan packed up her things, and because Liu Xi still couldn't walk on the ground, Jing Lan walked down from the guest room with her on her back.

Fortunately, this is just a small town, and there are only two or three scattered guests in the lobby by this time.

Jing Lan lowered her head and carried Liu Xi to the place where the horse was tethered, and then carefully helped Liu Xi onto the horse's back. Xiao Er bent over and walked over, and said with a smile, "Is the guest leaving now?"

Jing Lan nodded, "En."

Xiao Er glanced at Jing Lan's waist, and then at Liu Xi on the horse's back. She was refreshed and seemed to be well nourished.

Liu Xi knew what Xiao Er's eyes meant, so she coughed twice in displeasure.

Xiaoer also knew what was interesting, bowed his waist and said: "Guest officer, go slowly."

Jing Lan held the reins of a horse with one hand, and didn't dare to say anything, so she led the horse and drove Liu Xi away gradually.

Xiaoer was curious, and when the two walked away, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "The world is getting worse, men are more shy than women these days."

He went back to the inn to clean up last night's guest room.

"Tsk tsk!" Seeing the blood stains at the foot of the bed and the half-red blood in the basin, Xiaoer was secretly surprised, never thought that the little brother was so thin, and this bed thing was so ferocious.

People are unbelievable.

No wonder the girl couldn't walk last night and she couldn't walk today, poor, really poor.

After walking out of the inn, Jing Lan always felt that her ears were burning badly, and suddenly her nose itched, and she couldn't help sneezing.

"But did you catch a cold last night?" Liu Xi asked softly.

Jing Lan shook her head, "Probably someone is mentioning me." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the direction she was leaving the town, and when she led the horse out of the town and entered the uninhabited mountain road, she got on the horse again and rode back to the sea quickly city.

"It must be that Aunt Hong is worried about you." Liu Xi smiled lightly.

Jing Lan also smiled, the morning light fell on her face, a pair of dimples were slightly twirled, her smile was clean and bright.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile and looked at her quietly, her smile became a little bit stronger.

Jing Lan noticed Liu Xi's gaze, quickly suppressed her smile, and said in a low voice, "Liu Xi, be more disciplined!"

"Where am I unruly?" Liu Xi spread her hands. She didn't touch Jing Lan at all at the moment, but she only took a few glances at her, and she was given a reputation of being unruly. I need to look at her more.

"You still watch?" Jing Lan glared at Liu Xi.

Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan meaningfully, "Just look at it, what do you want?"

"You!" Jing Lan turned her face away, it seemed that she was the loser in every bickering, she was too lazy to argue with her!

Liu Xi was all smiles, this girl was just too thin-skinned.

"Mother, I want a little clay figurine!"

"Okay, mother will buy it for you."

In the small town in the early morning, there were not many pedestrians, but there were already quite a few hawkers who came out to do business. In front of a clay figurine stall not far away, a little girl begged her mother to buy her a small clay figurine.

Liu Xi's gaze fell on the mother and daughter, her eyes filled with envy. If her mother hadn't died in childbirth, she would have bought her a little clay figurine.

Jing Lan glanced at Liuxi in a daze, she knew that she wanted Bailiqing in this situation.

But her purse fell into Longling. Jing Lan looked at the saddle, as if thinking of something, she tore off two silver buttons on the saddle.

"Alan?" Liu Xi noticed that Jing Lan was walking towards the clay figurine stall, "What are you going to do?"

Jing Lan didn't answer, walked to the side of the stall, picked up a rabbit, and put two silver buttons in front of the stall owner, "If you don't have enough, you can bring these two silver buttons to Jing's Haicheng. , must be repaid tenfold."

"Enough, why not enough? It's just a penny clay figurine, sir, that's too serious." The stall owner quickly put away the silver buttons, smiled and nodded to Jing Lan.

"Thank you stall owner." Jing Lan walked back with the little rabbit.

Liu Xi thought that Jing Lan was going to give it to her, and she was full of anticipation, but Jing Lan was holding the little rabbit, but she didn't intend to give it away. With the other hand, she held the reins of the two horses together, and silently led the horses towards the place. Out of town.

What kind of medicine is sold in this girl's gourd?

Jing Lan remained calm, but Liu Xi couldn't sit still.

After leaving the town, he walked into the mountain road.

"Alan, you..."

"Bring it to me."

Without waiting for Liu Xi to speak, Jing Lan stopped and handed the little rabbit to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi took the little rabbit, and she didn't pinch it delicately, but she looked alike, Liu Xi took a look, "Just holding it for you?"

"If you don't want to take it, you can throw it away." Jing Lan replied forcefully.

Liu Xi chuckled, "Alan, you are so awkward in giving gifts, what should you do in the future?"

"I'll talk about it later!" Jing Lan replied again, as if in a good mood, she folded a leaf, brought it to her lips, and blew.

The minor tune is melodious and the sound is pleasant.

Liu Xi listened attentively, and smiled knowingly, thinking: "You girl, you are obviously afraid that I won't accept the clay figurine, so you made such a move."

It was the first time to give someone a gift, if Liu Xi didn't accept it, Jing Lan really didn't know what to do with this little rabbit.

Make a small plan, anyway, the little rabbit is sent out, how to deal with it is Liu Xi's business.

At this time, she folded the leaves and played the song, she didn't have to reply to what Liu Xi said, just right.

Every ring is accurate!

Liu Xi glanced at Jing Lan's rare complacent expression, shook her head and smiled.It's not that it can't be broken, but she doesn't want to break it.She looked down at the little rabbit in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more cute she felt. How could she not bear this thought?

She couldn't help but look sideways at Jing Lan again, if she and her were not in this status, just ordinary people, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, living in a log cabin in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but smile, and looked towards the end of the mountain road, thinking of something interesting, she couldn't help laughing.

Jing Lan couldn't help looking at her from the side, and saw Liu Xi's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, how could it be the usual Liu Xi who always sneered with disdain?

"What... are you laughing at?" Jing Lan thought to herself that she had played the right tune.

Liu Xi glanced at the sky, and reminded: "Does Ah Lan want to lead me for a lifetime?"

It was only then that Jing Lan realized that he had already walked a long way on the mountain road, and it was time to get on his horse and ride the horse to bring Liuxi to Haicheng.

"Nonsense!" Jing Lan groaned, threw the leaves, quickly turned over and sat behind Liu Xi, holding the reins firmly, "Sit down!"

Liu Xi leaned against Jing Lan's heart, "Well, sit down."

"drive!"

Jing Lan clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and galloped the horse, carrying Liu Xi to the direction of Haicheng.

Aunt Hong was almost worried about these two people all night. After going to the mourning hall to offer incense to Jing Xiaohai in the morning, she came to the stone tower of Santu Shixia and waited for the two people to return.

When the sun was shining, two figures finally appeared in the distance.

"Open the door, let Xiao Wu and Xi'er in!" Aunt Hong hurriedly urged the guards on duty.

The guards opened the city gate, Jing Lan galloped in, stopped the horse, and dismounted first.

Aunt Hong saw that both of them had changed clothes, she stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sister-in-law is injured, Aunt Hong, hurry up and invite Mr. Hai." Jing Lan walked to the side of the horse, said as she patted her shoulder, signaling Liu Xi to climb up first, and she carried her in.

"Where is the injury?" Aunt Hong asked worriedly, only then did she realize that Liu Xi's feet were bruised and swollen, and there were several scarlet wounds on the soles of her feet.

"I'll recite my sister-in-law first, and I'll tell Aunt Hong in full detail about other things later." Jing Lan confessed, and then went to the city with Liu Xi on her back.

Aunt Hong didn't dare to hesitate too much, and soon sent someone to invite Mr. Hai.

Knowing the news of sister-in-law's injury, both Jing Tan and Jing Yuan came to visit Liu Xi, but they were kicked out by Aunt Hong just as they arrived at the door.

"Don't make trouble here, just do what you have to do!"

Jing Tan shook his head, "We're just worried about sister-in-law." As he spoke, he glanced at Jing Yuan, hoping that Jing Yuan would also help to say something.

Jing Yuan took a peek inside, but couldn't see anything through the screen. He never dared to disobey Aunt Hong, so he persuaded his second brother, "My mother is here, sister-in-law will be fine."

"But……"

"Let's go, second brother, you haven't finished teaching me just now, how to ward off evil spirits."

Jing Yuan hooked Jing Tan's shoulder, and was about to take him away, but Jing Tan asked solemnly, "Where's Xiao Wu?"

"Xiao Wu went to find Uncle Jiu, what's the matter?" Aunt Hong asked suspiciously.

Jing Tan said with deep eyes, "I'll go ask Xiao Wu." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Aunt Hong always felt that something was wrong with Jing Tan, so she gave Jing Yuan a wink, "Ah Yuan, go and have a look with him."

"Yeah!" Jing Yuan nodded and hurriedly chased after Jing Tan.
