Chapter 204 Seven Skills
The next day, as usual, I walked along the mountain road away from the official road.
As for whether it is a shortcut, Huangfu Jingchen doesn't care at all if he can go to Liangzhou for many days.
Instead, Xia Wenjin took the initiative: "It will take about five days to walk from here and cross that mountain. Liangzhou is on the other side. Then find a market to buy a horse. If you walk for two days, you will arrive at your destination."
Seven days, does she place her time in seven days? Is there still seven days for her time to spend with her?
Huangfu Jingchen nodded silently.
There are seven days left, and this time is not short.
Xia Wenjin sometimes runs a horse for a while, and sometimes walks. Her smile is bright and bright, she plays with all her heart and will never be charming when she is rushing.
If you miss the stay, you will sleep in the open. If you are hungry, you will find something to eat. In the wild, Huangfu Jingchen doesn’t have to worry about being hungry at all. As long as you can find the ingredients, Xia Wenjin will have the ability to make it delicious.
As for the scene that happened in Shi'an Temple at that time, it seemed that it had never happened at all.
Seeing her completely uneasy appearance, Huangfu Jingchen pressed back the words to her mouth again and again.
Or, don't bother with this purity and simplicity, don't make things more complicated, but it's better. At least for these seven days, they can get along very well.
On the third day, the two of them had walked more than a hundred miles, and they were closer to the mountain. After another day, they would reach the foot of the mountain. It would take a day to cross the mountain. Xia Wenjin calculated the time very well.
There is a village at the foot of the mountain. There are more than 40 families in this village, built on the mountain and living beside the water. The villagers' living and working in peace and contentment make this village look like a paradise.
When Xia Wenjin saw it, she liked this place and didn't plan to sleep in the open at night.
They were planning to stay at the villagers' home for one night.
Walking along a road where a carriage could walk into the village, the villagers here were very hospitable. At a villager's home with three houses, Xia Wenjin wanted to stay, and the owner immediately agreed.
It was an old couple. Their son and daughter-in-law went out to work, and the two old men took their grandson at home, and there was a free room.
However, there is only one.
The old lady smiled and said, "Fortunately you are two young men, so it's not a big deal to live in one room. If you are brothers and sisters, you must have to divide the rooms again."
Xia Wenjin: “…”
She now feels that men's clothing is not that convenient sometimes!
However, Huangfu Jingchen was a gentleman. Along the way, he didn't even touch her a finger.
Seeing that his father-in-law's family was not very rich, Xia Wenjin took the money to make living and food.
The old lady didn't have any good things at home, so she went to the village chief's house to buy a piece of old bacon. The dinner was very rich, with meat and chickens fed by the old lady.
The father-in-law and the wife gave up the table, and they were going to take their grandson to eat on the stove.
Xia Wenjin went to the stove and saw that they were eating their usual meals, with no chicken or meat at all. Their seven-year-old grandson looked at the main hall, and the old lady whispered to him that it was bought by the customer.
Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "We can't eat that much food on a big table, so we can have fun together. Don't eat here, go and go to the table together!" How could they be guests? Instead, let the host have no place to sit?
The father-in-law and the wife hurriedly refused. They only ate this on weekdays. Today, they benefited from the guests and had some oil and meat in the dishes, so they were already very satisfied.
Xia Wenjin refused to let him take the hand of his grandson Honger and brought them to the table.
The table was filled with people and it suddenly seemed lively.
Hong'er was very happy to see that there were meat and chickens.
The old couple probably saw Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin approachable. Although they took the money to move in, they had no airs and were no longer restrained.
The old lady also smiled and said, "You are a coincidence. The river is bustling tonight. People in nearby villages will gather by the river, especially you young people. You can go and have fun!"
Huangfu Jingchen was curious: "Why is the river bustling today?"
Xia Wenjin's eyes turned and said, "Is it the Qiqiao Festival today?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's Qiqiao Festival."
Honger said curiously: "Why is the Qiqiao Festival river busy? It's not lively in normal times!"
Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "Because of Qiqiao Festival, many people will go to the riverside to put river lanterns, put their wishes in their hearts into the river lanterns. The further the river lantern floats, the more they will achieve their wishes!"
"What is a wish?"
"It's what you want in your heart!"
"Really?" Hong'er clapped her hands and smiled, "I want to put the river lanterns too. I want to have meat to eat every day!"
The childish words of the child attracted laughter from the table. Xia Wenjin picked up a large piece of meat for him and said with a smile: "Hong'er's wish today will come true soon, look!"
Honger said happily: "Thank you brother!"
At this time, Xia Wenjin faced Huangfu Jingchen sideways, her side face reflected into his eyes, with a bright smile, clear eyes and white teeth. She was smiling at Hong'er, patient and meticulous, with bright eyes and shining, and her whole person seemed to be glowing.
Huangfu Jingchen unconsciously replaced her women's clothing in Shi'an Temple, with a gentle smile on the corners of her lips, and a little lost.
It was not until Xia Wenjin patted him lightly that he woke up. Xia Wenjin said, "What are you asking, are you going?"
Huangfu Jingchen said: "Go!"
He wanted to go where Wen Jin wanted to go. They only had seven days to get together, and it might be difficult to see them in the future. He cherished every minute and every moment of these seven days.
The old lady smiled and said, "A few days ago, there were platforms by the river, and there were also people selling river lanterns. The young men liked to go, and the girls also liked to go. You guys go and try your luck!"
The two understood what the old lady meant by trying luck.
I believe there are many girls by the river who can go to their homes, and the old ladies can meet them when they meet them, or they can go to the river to meet a fate.
Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
However, the two smiles were different.
Huangfu Jingchen would not go to see those girls, he just wanted to accompany Xia Wenjin.
Of course, Xia Wenjin wouldn't go to see those girls, she is not Lily!
The old lady sighed: "We have been doing this Qiqiao Festival for many years. The head of the family and I met by the river. In this flash, we are all old!"
The two old men looked at each other and smiled, as if they were recalling the youth of Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin.
Xia Wenjin smiled in surprise and said, "It seems that this river lantern is still the matchmaker of the two elders!"
