Seeing them leaving, Du Jun and Xia Ziying breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Du Jun suddenly glanced at the strong woman in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of shame on his face. He was also a man after all, and men were supposed to protect women.
It was an internal matter, but today he was protected by a woman, which made him feel embarrassed. Thinking of this, he felt a little ashamed, so he turned around and walked into the house.
Seeing her son's emotions, Du Jun's mother already understood what was wrong with him, and shouted tightly from behind: "Jun'er, Jun'er..." The shout got no response at all. After Du Jun entered the room, "Hey
"The door was closed with a sound.
After closing the door, he immediately lay down on the bed. Suddenly he felt a little pain in his ribs. During the fight just now, he must have been beaten severely by the bull. When he thought of this, he gently
I rubbed it and adjusted my sleeping position.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, "Dong dong, Du Jun, open the door." Xia Ziying knocked on the door and shouted.
"Here we come." Du Jun endured the pain, stood up slowly, and then went to call the door.
"Why are you here?" Du Jun asked a little timidly. Now when he sees her, he always feels a little bit ashamed, always feeling that he is not a man in front of her.
"I brought some medicinal wine to show you. I was... beaten so hard just now. I must be injured. Just apply some medicinal wine and it will be fine. Don't carry it hard. It is not good for your health." Xia Ziying knew that he
He didn't want to, so he put the medicinal wine on the table.
"Okay, thank you. I'll do it myself. Do you have anything else to do?" Du Jun suddenly asked in a lively manner.
After hearing what he said, Xia Ziying was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she nodded: "It's okay. Then remember to wipe it well yourself and don't delay it."
"Well, I know." After saying that, he sent Xia Ziying out of the door, and then closed the door. After closing the door, he leaned against the door with his back, his face was very ugly, and suddenly he felt a very uncomfortable feeling, why was he
Being so cowardly, so weak, and unable to defeat even one person, all of this is really painful for me.
When Xia Ziying walked out of the door, Du Jun's mother hurried over and asked nervously: "Miss Xia, is Jun'er okay?
Xia Ziying smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. He needs a good rest. Just let him rest more."
Du Junniang sighed and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I know Jun'er better than you. I am his mother. I don't know what kind of character he is. Don't hide it from me."
Xia Ziying was a little at a loss, "Auntie, I..." Du Junniang waved her hand, "I know you want to reassure me, but our Du Jun has been a face-loving person since he was a child. He values his face more than his life.
It's important. The scene just now was indeed difficult for him to accept. After all, it was still in front of you." Du Junniang said, sighing towards the sky, and walked into the house, apparently preparing to cook.
.
Xia Ziying sat helplessly at the door. People are always so unpredictable. Some people regard their faces as waste paper that can be torn apart at any time. However, some people see that their faces are more important than their lives and can't help but feel...
He glanced inside the house.
After a while, Du Jun's mother greeted her for dinner, and Xia Ziying went to ask Du Jun to come for dinner. Du Jun resisted for a long time, and then reluctantly came out. When he saw Xia Ziying for the first time, he looked very guilty, "Jun
Son, don’t wait any longer. Come and eat quickly. After eating, take a good rest for a few days. In a few days it will be the day to go to the market. Then take Miss Xiao Xia to go to the city. If Miss Xiao Xia still has family members in the city,
Just take it back."
When Xia Ziying heard this, she felt an inexplicable reluctance. She didn't know why she didn't want to go back to that place. Was it just because she didn't want to, or because there were people there that she couldn't forget.
Seeing the uncertain look on Xia Ziying's face, Du Junniang asked curiously, "Miss Xia, what's wrong with you? Don't you have any relatives in the city? There is still something unspeakable. If you have any difficulties, tell me!
"
Du Jun also stopped eating and stared at the seemingly weak but quite strong woman in front of him. He didn't know what hidden story she had, but she never told him. Just now, his mother told him to take her with him.
When she returned to the city, she already understood what her mother meant. She felt that the woman in front of her had too many stories and was difficult for her to control. If she was difficult to control and could not be a member of her own family, then she should send her back.
Forget it, so as not to cause gossip in the village.
"No...it's okay. I've been thinking about going back to the city these days. It just so happens that I'll trouble Mr. Du. Xiaoxia thanks you first." After saying that, he bowed and picked up his bowl and chopsticks.
, and kept pushing the rice into his mouth.
Seeing her so distracted, both Du Jun and his mother were puzzled. They were sending her home, not embarrassing her, so why should they be so embarrassment? There must be a story in this.
For several days in a row, Xia Ziying looked gloomy. Du Jun's injury gradually improved day by day. The day for the market was approaching. Early that morning, Du Jun's mother prepared dry food and transportation for them, and gave them orders early.
They got up quickly. If they rushed to the city, they would have to walk on a mountain road for half a day. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk. If they didn't act in advance, they might have to spend the night in the mountains in the middle of the night. Moreover,
The mountain has not been peaceful recently, and no one dares to stay there at night. After learning about this situation, Xia Ziying and Du Jun hurriedly ate, then packed up and saluted. For the convenience of walking, Xia Ziying wore a
The man's outfit looked quite masculine, and he looked more heroic and handsome, like a young man who had just grown up. Seeing Du Jun's eyes fixed on him, he praised how good-looking he was. This made Xia Ziying's face heat up.
Too shy not to know what to do.
The two set off and walked along the way. The mountain road was no ordinary road. It was rugged and winding. It was very uneven. After walking for less than an hour, Xia Ziying couldn't stand it anymore and kept shouting to take a rest. Du
Du Jun was helpless. After all, she was still a woman, and it was difficult not to rest, so he agreed and sat on the rock on the side, breathing heavily. Seeing how tired she was, Du Jun felt a little sad.
Unable to bear it, he opened the bamboo tube and handed it over: "Here, drink some water, it will be much better."
After Xia Ziying nodded and thanked her, she took the bamboo tube and poured the water into her mouth. Suddenly a coolness hit her whole body, making her feel refreshed and her complexion relaxed a lot. It really made people feel relieved.
tone.
Seeing Du Jun smiling at him, he handed it back and said, "Drink some too!"
Du Jun took the water from the bamboo tube with a smile, took a sip, and closed it. Xia Ziying saw it and knew that he was saving money. Now they were in the middle of the mountain, thinking
It would take several hours to pass it over, and a lot of water and dry food would be needed later. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel very grateful to Du Jun.
Du Jun smiled happily, stood up, looked at the sky, and then said: "Let's go quickly. If we work harder, we can probably get to the city before dark."
"Well, let's go then!" Xia Ziying stopped procrastinating and stood up. Although her legs were still sore, she couldn't hold back anymore. When she thought about what she would do if she really rested in the woods at night,
Oh, how terrifying that must be. Thinking of this, I shuddered and quickened my pace.
The two of them began to speed up their pace and arrived at the capital city just in time for the sunset. Looking at this familiar city, Xia Ziying's heart kept rising and falling. It was here that she had a lot of regrets. In this place
It has always been her nightmare. There are joys and sorrows here. Looking at this capital city, she has been feeling sad for a while.
Du Jun looked at the changing emotions on her face and was a little worried, so he asked with concern: "Have you remembered anything sad? I see that you always look unhappy along the way. If you are really unhappy,
If so, just tell me, maybe I can help you."
"Haha, it's okay, thank you. It's just that after returning to the city, I felt a little melancholy from the previous atmosphere. Stop guessing, it's okay." Xia Ziying said with a bitter smile.
She never talked about her life experience with Du Jun. Du Jun wanted to ask several times but found it difficult to ask. In the end, he never asked. Now seeing her acting like this, he guessed that her experience must be somewhat special.
.
The two came to an inn, walked in, asked for two guest rooms, and checked in after dinner. Du Jun went back to his room. Xia Ziying also went back and pushed away
Looking out the window, I saw the bustling night scene outside, and wondered if I should go to Mu Lianlong's palace to have a look. Ling'er was taken away by a mysterious man in a green shirt. I don't know what happened now. I guess it must have been at that time.
It was because he mistakenly regarded Ling'er as himself. If he found out that she was not him, he might have let her go. When he thought of this, he felt relieved.
After a sleepless night, she couldn't sleep. Early the next morning, Du Jun woke her up because she was going to the market to buy things today. Du Jun's mother asked him to buy all the daily items he needed and go home.
, he didn't dare to delay at will.
Xia Ziying followed Du Jun out. When she came outside, the street was very lively with people coming and going. Suddenly, a horse came galloping from the front, shouting something, and ran over from far to near.
"Get out of the way, be careful." Seeing this situation, Du Jun hurriedly pulled Xia Ziying away and hid aside. After the horse galloped over, he had arrived at the vegetable market's notice in a blink of an eye.
At the fence, the infantry followed closely behind.
