“Da da da …”
The little mare trotted over with elegant steps, carrying the princess Consort.
It snorted and gently rubbed Xu Qi ‘an’s face. The latter kept stroking its neck to comfort it.
The Queen untied the bundle on the horse’s back, took out a green robe, and handed it to Xu Qi ‘an. Then, she looked at the young woman, hesitated for a moment, and took out her own cotton-padded coat.
“Put it on. If you get infected with the cold wind, it’ll be a waste of time to save people.”
In the late autumn season, the climate of Yongzhou was cold to the bone. If a person was just fished out of the river and did not change his clothes in time to keep warm, the death rate was still very high once he got sick.
“This old man’s house is just ahead. Go to his house and change your clothes.” The old man holding the bamboo pole said hurriedly.
Xu Qi ‘an held the clean green robe and cotton coat, bowed, and said, ‘
“Thank you, old man.”
He immediately led the horse and dragged the young woman behind the old man.
The surrounding people were still discussing, pointing, gossiping, or lamenting how lucky cripple Zhang’s wife was to have met someone who was good at swimming and was willing to dive into the water to save people in the cold weather, regardless of getting infected with the cold wind.
After walking for less than a hundred meters, the old man turned into an alley paved with cobblestone and pushed open the black wooden door full of traces of corrosion.
Behind the door was a small courtyard house, and above it was a square well.
The young woman’s face was ashen, her lips were white, and her body was trembling.
If Xu Qi ‘an was still a warrior, he could easily drive out the coldness in her body.
However, Qi movement was a martial artist’s specialty. In the middle and low ranks, in all major systems, only martial artists could display Qi movement.
At the high ranks, other systems could also display Qi activity as the physical body strengthened, but they were far from being comparable to martial arts.
Just like strength Gu, at Lina’s level, she could take the initiative to refine essence into Qi, using her body as the main and Qi movement as the secondary, to better display her battle strength.
“Take her to change her clothes.” Xu Qi ‘an took the big bag down and threw it to mu nanzhi.
Wangfei held it tightly in her arms and glanced at the little woman. She quietly put the beautiful cotton-padded jacket back into the bag and took out a not-so-beautiful cotton-padded jacket.
I was too careless just now and accidentally picked up a good piece of clothing
After the two entered the master bedroom, Xu Qi ‘an went to the side room to change under the old man’s guidance. “Old man, why don’t you hide first?”
Xu Qi ‘an said tactfully.
“What’s the matter? are you still shy in your next life?” the old man was puzzled.
No, I’m just afraid. ‘Il scare you … Xu Qi ‘an smiled apologetically and looked at the old man without saying anything.
The old man placed a clean towel on the table and left the room.
Xu Qi ‘an untied his robe and took off his inner clothes. There were four nails in his front abdomen and back. The wounds were dark red and terrifying.
There was also a nail on the top of his head that had sealed his primordial spirit in the Baihui acupoint.
The demon sealing nail had sealed his cultivation, including his Qi power. Now, he had the skin of a third-grade martial artist, but he couldn’t exert enough power. It was difficult to kill people even if he wanted to rely on the toughness of his body.
After changing into a set of dry clothes, Xu Qi ‘an and the old man sat in the simple Hall. They were chatting with a pot of yellow wine on the stove.
“Old man, are you the only one living in the house?”
“Yup,”
“Where’s your family?”
“My wife passed away last year, and I have a son and daughter. My daughter has married out of town and hasn’t come back to see me for many years. As for the son …”
The old man paused for a moment, and a hint of helplessness flashed through his slightly turbid eyes.
a few years ago, there was a flood and all the crops were gone. In order to fill his family’s stomachs, he went up the mountain with the hunters to hunt. He lost his footing and fell off the cliff, dying.
There was a moment of silence.
Xu Qi ‘an was a person who had experienced great sorrow and pain, so he would not say things like ” my condolences.
At this time, the old man picked up the wine pot and said with a smile, “”This wine is just warm enough. When it boils, the taste will disperse. Next life, try it.
There were no extra cups at home.
Xu Qi ‘an poured the wine pot and took a sip. Her eyes lit up. The taste was sweet and mellow, sour, bitter, spicy, and bitter, but just right. After swallowing the wine, the fragrance in his mouth did not dissipate for a long time.
There were countless good wines in the capital, but this was the first time he had tasted this wine.
At this time, a plate of sliced chicken and salted boiled peanuts would be good
Xu Qi ‘an thought regretfully. He couldn’t wait to find an inn to stay in and drink with the princess Consort until dawn.
The old man nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that he was enjoying the aftertaste, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
“From the accent of the later generations, you’re not a native of Yongzhou, are you?”
“I’m from the capital, ”
The old man was filled with respect. so you’re from the capital. No wonder. Your future wife and I are a perfect match.
Hey, hey, old man, can your conscience really be at ease when you say this . Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.
At this moment, Wang Fei and the young woman came out. The latter’s face was still pale and her slender body was trembling slightly from the cold.
The old man called the two over to warm themselves by the fire. Xu Qi ‘an saw the abnormality in the princess’s expression, as if she was trying to suppress her anger.
“What’s wrong?”
Xu Qi ‘an handed the wine pot to the young woman, indicating for her to take a sip to warm herself up, before turning to look at mu nanzhi. “Did cripple Zhang go gamble again?” the old man sighed.
The young woman lowered her head and nodded.
“It seems like we won’t be able to survive,” the old man commented.
The young woman shook her head, tears falling down.
“Her man gave her away to someone else …” Mu nanzhi said with a dark expression.
Giving someone away was a euphemistic way of saying it. The matter was like this. The young woman’s husband was called Zhang youfu. He was a cripple. Because of his disability, he could not do heavy work, and his family had always been poor..
