Shuangxi nodded and said, "Then let's hit the road."
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy to me? Wu Xian promised to let you go, did he force you into something?" Shuisheng asked, the smile on his face suddenly faded.
Shuangxi shook his head: "Nothing. Although Wu Xian is a bit hateful, he is not capable of such villainous behavior."
At the end, Shuangxi said something like a sigh: "He is actually not very bad. He can be considered a good person among bad people."
Shuisheng was completely surprised this time. He was very surprised, why did Shuangxi speak for Wu Xian?
Ordinarily, what Wu Xian did to Shuangxi should make Shuangxi angry and hate him! Now Shuangxi actually talked about Wu Xian neither sad nor happy, and even defended Wu Xian in his words.
Shui Sheng stared at Shuang Xi, looking at Shuang Xi's face with a normal expression, and finally let out a long sigh and stopped thinking about these things. In any case, they were about to leave Bei Desert. Leaving here would mean they were completely separated from this place.
The relationship has been completely cleared, and there is no longer any involvement.
As for what happened between Shuang Xi and Wu Xian, no matter what it was, it has already happened and nothing will happen again in the future. Since Shuang doesn't want to talk about it, let it go.
Shuisheng was relieved, and then said to Shuangxi: "Xi'er, then you pack your things and we'll hit the road."
Shuangxi shook his head: "None of these things belong to me. There's nothing to clean up. Let's leave now."
Shuangxi got out of bed, but did not leave directly. Instead, she tidied up the red satin quilt first, and then took off the jade bracelet from her hand. This bracelet was the only good thing on her body.
.
At first, she wanted to exchange the bracelet for money to escape, but she didn't realize it. After many twists and turns, she still came to the Northern Desert, and she kept the bracelet with her.
Shuangxi put the bracelet on the quilt.
Shuisheng looked at Shuangxi's movements with confusion, but did not ask. He thought that everything Shuangxi did must have its own reason.
Shuangxi explained casually: "It's fair to say that these days, you and I have spent a lot of money in Beimo." It can be regarded as... leaving him a thought.
In Shuangxi's heart, she still felt guilty for deceiving Wu Xian about her feelings.
Shuangxi has always felt that she is not a soft-hearted person, but when facing these men, she cannot harden her heart.
Outside the big tent, there was a simple carriage parked. Two horses pulled the gray-looking carriage.
Shuisheng helped Shuangxi into the carriage. To his surprise, under the dusty exterior, the interior of the carriage was very comfortable.
The inside of the carriage was covered with thick animal skins, so the wind would not blow in through the gaps in the carriage. If there were bumps and bumps on the carriage, with these animal skins there, there would be no chance of bumping.
In addition, there are wool quilts, pillows, and a stove installed in the carriage.
Shuangxi looked at these with tears in his eyes. If Wu Xian hadn't deliberately ordered them, who would have prepared these?
At the beginning, she hated him very much, but when she was waiting for him to leave, she felt that she owed him.
Shuisheng turned around and asked, "Are you sitting firmly?"
"Um."
"drive!"
The sound of horse hooves trampling traveled through the entire palace, disappearing bit by bit among the large white-roofed tents.
From beginning to end, Wu Xian did not appear.
In the wind and snow on the grassland, Wu Xian rode a horse and followed Shuangxi's carriage. From early morning until the sun was about to set, he tightened the reins and turned around.
Seeing each other off from ten miles away not only gave him people, but also gave him love that he could never get in this life.
"Drive!" Wu Xian raised his whip and the horse started galloping quickly.
The wantonness and freedom brought to him by galloping on horseback made him temporarily forget about the sorrow of sending her away.
Princess An Qingxi, the princess of the Northern Desert, accidentally fell down a snowy peak and died.
On the second day of the wedding, the palace in Beimo was filled with soul-calling flags and a funeral ceremony was held.
Shuangxi is not dead, but to Wu Xian, she is already dead, dead in his heart.
Although the journey from Beimo to Anqing is not far away, it still takes a few days. It is winter again, with wind and snow, and the horses walk much slower than usual. After two days of walking, Double Happiness and Shuisheng
The two of them had only walked a small distance apart.
"Hey, come in and have a rest." Shuangxi opened the curtain of the carriage and shouted to Shuisheng who was driving outside. By the way, she took a big breath of the fresh air outside, although it was cold.
Xu left the palace in Beimo, and Shuangxi's gloomy mood became clearer.
Everything in the Northern Desert Palace was like a scar in her heart. As long as no one mentioned it and she didn't think of it, it wouldn't hurt.
When Shuisheng turned around, he saw Shuangxi's smiling face. He rubbed his hands and said, "If I get into the carriage, the horse won't be able to move and will have to stop. I'm afraid it will delay the journey."
Shuangxi smiled and said: "Brother Shuisheng, please come in and rest for a while. Since we have come out, Wu Xian will not go back on his promise and is not in a hurry to go back. Besides, when we get to Yanyue City, I can find Yunshan."
I sent a message home, it only takes a few days, so don’t worry."
After hearing this, Shuisheng patted the snow on his body, then bent down and got into the carriage.
The stove on the carriage was burning silver charcoal, which was very warm.
Shuisheng couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to roast it on the fire.
Shuangxi saw Shuisheng's hand and felt a little shocked! His hand was already red and swollen, obviously from the cold.
Shuangxi didn't have time to think much, so he grabbed Shuisheng's hand and said to Shuisheng: "Brother Shuisheng, I'm afraid your hand is frozen. You can't put it on the fire now. If you put it on the fire, it will cause severe frostbite!"
Shuangxi spent some time in the north in the modern era, and he knew deeply how terrible frostbite was. It was said that the hands would lose all feeling when they were frozen to the end, and later on, the nerves would become necrotic. At that time, once
I'm afraid my hands will become useless.
With this understanding, Shuangxi would not underestimate this little frostbite. When she saw Shuisheng like this, she became panicked.
At the moment, he didn't care about etiquette. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Shuisheng's hand repeatedly, hoping to quickly restore the blood circulation in Shuisheng's hand. If the blood was restored, even if it was frostbite, it would only be a flesh injury.
It'll be fine in a day.
But if even the nerves and blood vessels are frozen, these hands will definitely be necrotic.
Seeing Shuangxi rubbing his hand with her soft and slender hands, her clear eyes were gradually filled with emotion.
Although the carriage is very spacious, it is a carriage after all. Even if the space is large, it cannot go anywhere. With two people in it, although it is not crowded, it still seems a bit small.
In addition, Shuangxi was holding Shuisheng's hand to warm Shuisheng's hand, so the two of them inevitably got closer.
"Brother Shuisheng, I'll go out to catch the car later. You can have a good rest inside." Shuangxi said while rubbing Shuisheng's hands.
Shui Sheng's clear voice came: "Xi'er, are you making fun of me? How could I, a man, let you drive the car?"
"Your hands are frozen! If it's more serious, I'm afraid you'll be crippled!" Shuangxi solemnly told Shuisheng the consequences.
Shuisheng smiled nonchalantly, then set his eyes on Shuangxi's belly, and said seriously to Shuangxi: "It doesn't matter if you are cold, but what about the child in your belly? You can still stay in the carriage with peace of mind.
Come on."
Shuangxi was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. Yes, how could the child in her belly withstand the biting cold wind?
"Brother Shuisheng, although the child is important, I can't just watch your hands become useless." Shuangxi's voice was a little hoarse. Shuisheng protected her all the way and treated the child in her belly as if it were his own.
How should she repay such kindness?
Shui Sheng laughed loudly and said, "How can it be so serious? There is nothing wrong with my hand." As he said that, Shui Sheng lowered his head and glanced at his hand, which was held by Shuang Xi.
His hand, which had been numb and had no feeling, slowly regained its feeling in her hand. She kneaded it lightly, but his hand felt burning pain, as if someone was holding countless needles.
, as if pricking him non-stop.
But he was willing to bear all these. Being able to be held in her hand made it worth being cut with a knife, not to mention the pain like a needle prick?
These hands... were useless just for her, so what?
When she returned to Anqing, she no longer needed herself. These hands could no longer protect the people she wanted to protect, so they were of no use.
"Then we only go on the road every day when the sun is at its brightest, and we usually rest here in the carriage. It's windy and snowy at night, so we can't let your hands get cold anymore." Shuangxi came up with a compromise.
, even if it means delaying the journey for a few days, what's the point? It can save his hand and her child. This is a two-pronged strategy.
Shuisheng knew that Shuangxi had a stubborn temper. If he refused, Shuangxi might actually drive the car herself. A few days ago, she almost had a miscarriage. Now, the fetal position is still unstable. The exhaustion of this journey is enough.
She is struggling, how can she really be allowed to drive?
So Shuisheng nodded and agreed, and would go back a few days later... He could stay with Xi'er for a few more days. It was windy and bloody here, and there were no people. On the vast grassland, looking around, there were only two of them, as if they were...
, they are the only two people in the world who are alike.
He would rather this road be longer, and longer, so that he can always stay with her.
Shuangxi kneaded Shuisheng's hand for a long time, and finally there was some warmth in Shuisheng's cold hand. Shuangxi then let go of Shuisheng's hand and let him warm himself by the fire. (To be continued. If you like this
