Chapter 980

Princess Xinyang was immediately startled into a cold sweat.

It's terrible to be caught when you've done something bad.

The old woman looks 60 or 70 years old. Her hair is gray and very old. Her clothes and service look like Dongyi people, with patches. She should be a nearby villager.

Xuanping Hou's eyes kept looking at the old woman. He said quietly to Princess Xinyang, "we have entered the territory of Dongyi people. Be careful."

Princess Xinyang whispered, "what are you going to do?"

Marquis Xuanping said, "act according to the circumstances."

If a soldier came, Marquis Xuanping would kill people mercilessly, but the other party was an ordinary villager.

The soldiers of the state of Zhao did not kill the people of the enemy country.

Duke Xuanping blocked Princess Xinyang behind him, took her hand and walked towards the old woman.

"Old man," he said calmly, "we are soldiers passing by. We are tracking the tracks of several Zhao people. Have you seen them?"

The languages of the Dongyi nationality and the state of Zhao are basically the same, but there are differences in accent. He speaks a fluent Dongyi accent and is stunned by the princess Xinyang behind him.

Princess Xinyang knows a little Yanguo dialect and Liangguo dialect, but it's written. Let her translate the article. If she really let her say it, she can't speak up to the standard.

Xiao Heng has a strong talent in language since he was a child. Princess Xinyang thought it was her own credit. From this point of view, it seems that she inherited Xiao halberd.

The old woman's calm and dull eyes didn't change much. She slowly replied in an old voice, "Oh, I didn't see it."

"Old man, do you live near here? Who else is there in the family?" Xuan pinghou then asked.

"No one, just me." the old woman spoke slowly enough to make people feel that she spoke very hard and slow.

But considering her age, it's not surprising.

Princess Xinyang secretly poked out half her head from behind Hou Xuanping and looked at her.

As soon as Xuanping Hou Fu looked back, he saw the black hair coming out, and the corners of his lips were funny.

"Old man." he looked at the old woman again. "It's getting late. Can we go to your house for a night?"

"OK." the old woman answered slowly and turned away with a crutch.

Princess Xinyang looked at the rickety old woman who was getting away and asked him, "are we really going to her house?"

Hou Xuanping looked around and said, "there's no other place to live here. If you go to her house, at least you won't freeze to death. By the way, ask about the Dongyi soldiers."

Princess Xinyang thought it was this reason.

Who could have expected that they came to the territory of Dongyi people by mistake? They are not familiar with the terrain, and Xiao Ji is seriously injured. If they really rush in the ice and snow, it's better to find a place to recover.

Thinking of something, she asked, "you said, did she see what happened just now?"

Xuanping Hou thoughtfully said, "I don't know."

Princess Xinyang sighed: "forget it, what if you see it? Can you really do something to an old man who has no strength to bind chickens? Let's follow up and stare at her and don't let her tell."

They followed the old man to a humble hut.

The old woman lives on the side, and a hundred steps to the East is a sparse village.

Seeing Princess Xinyang's puzzled face, Xiao Ji explained in a low voice: "in Dongyi, the lonely old people without children and husbands will be moved out of the village. They are regarded as the embodiment of bad luck."

Princess Xinyang suddenly realized: "I see. It seems that she didn't lie to us. She is really the only one in her family."

The old man is old and inconvenient to move. He doesn't have much guarantee for clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the house is not clean.

She pointed to a dusty hut and said to the two men, "you live here tonight and eat in the stove house."

Then she went back to her house and ignored the two strangers.

Xiao Ji was seriously injured. After entering the house, he could no longer maintain his composure. His face turned white and sat on the dusty wooden board.

As soon as she came out of the cave, she encountered a series of accidents. Until now, she had the opportunity to look at him seriously.

I didn't know until I saw it. I found that his condition was too bad.

No wonder she was not allowed to light a fire in the cave. If she had known that his face was so bad, she would have left him to rest and explore the way by herself.

But on second thought, if you really went by yourself, you would have been caught by Dongyi soldiers at the mouth of the cave.

How could he... Always think so carefully for her?

Princess Xinyang was moved and forgot that she was mad at his mouth in the cave. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched his forehead: "it's so hot!"

Xiao Ji took her hand down and held it tightly in the palm without saying a word.

The room was quiet.

Princess Xinyang felt the temperature from his palm. He held her hand tightly, and his thumb unconsciously rubbed the back of her hand.

Like a silent comfort.

……

Princess Xinyang cleaned up the room and took out the cotton wadding and mattress from the cabinet. They were clean, but there was slight moisture.

Princess Xinyang went to ask the old lady to borrow a brazier. She took a torch and squatted on the ground to make a fire.

She didn't give birth well for a long time, and she made herself a big faced cat.

Xiao Ji sat pale on the stool and looked at her with a smile: "Qin Fengwan, is this the first time you've done this?"

"So what?" Princess Xinyang muttered, "I think Jiao Jiao makes a fire quickly. It's like this."

Xiao Ji smiled. It hurt so much that the wound was about to crack.

He stabilized his mood, stopped smiling, but the smile in the bottom of his eyes could almost overflow.

He said, "I'll come."

"Sit down for me!" Princess Xinyang ordered coldly.

Xiao Jifu Gang sat back listlessly.

Princess Xinyang continued to make a fire and finally burned the fire at the cost of burning a handful of bangs.

She began to bake damp mattresses.

Then he burned the mattress

The old woman didn't want to talk to them, but she was worried that if it went on like this, the woman would burn up her home.

With a dark face, she came to help them bake the quilt, and took a new mattress. Only when it was baked did she dare to hand it to Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang spread the bed and helped Xiao Ji take off his armor. Then she helped him lie down on a warm mattress.

"I'll get something to eat." she pulled the quilt over Xiao Ji and turned to the stove house.

The living conditions of the old man are very difficult. There is nothing in the stove except pickles and pancakes.

But the pancakes are hard and can't bite at all.

Princess Xinyang looked at the water in the water tank and had an idea at the bottom of her heart.

The old woman rubbed hemp rope in her house. She was too old to plant and hunt, so she made a living by making some simple handicrafts.

She thought that it was time for the two people to have dinner. One of them looked at thin skin and tender meat. He was very picky. He shouldn't eat those cold things directly.

She was so late that, unsurprisingly, when she was going to cook for the two, the stove house had already burned up.

Little Baogong Xinyang, with a gray face, stood in the yard in embarrassment.

The old woman looked at her speechless.

Princess Xinyang pretended to be calm and said in a deep voice, "I've cooked at home. It's your stove that doesn't work!"

The old woman: "

Princess Xinyang took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and gave it to the old woman.

The old woman went to the cellar and took a piece of bacon for them to stew and send it to paomo.

Princess Xinyang looked at the broth on the table and said bitterly to the old woman, "so you hid delicious food."

The old woman went out without expression.

Xiao Ji couldn't laugh. His wound hurt so much that he took a smoke.

The weather in the East this year is very strange. The first month is almost over, and there is another heavy snow.

Goose feather like snowflakes fall one after another. Different from the snow scenery in the capital, the snow grid in the mountains gives people a sense of tranquility and distance.

Princess Xinyang helped the old woman to take in the clothes and straw ropes that were drying outside.

"Old man, where has your family gone?" she asked.

She just asked casually. She thought the old woman wouldn't answer. Unexpectedly, after the other party was silent for a moment, the old voice said faintly: "dead, caught in war, all dead."

Princess Xinyang looked at the old woman's lonely and bent back and said nothing more.

"She saw it."

At night, they were lying on the bed. Princess Xinyang said to Xiao Ji.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ji didn't understand why he suddenly had this topic.

Princess Xinyang looked at the dark beam and said in a daze, "she saw us kill Dongyi soldiers. She didn't report us because she also hated Dongyi soldiers. Her family was arrested and died."

The cruelty of war is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Xiao Ji doesn't like war either, but his duty is that he doesn't fight. What he destroys is the home behind him.

So did the Dongyi soldiers.

Everyone is in charge.

However, he has always opposed the capture of strong men into the army. The king of Dongyi should be killed and the kingship of Dongyi should be destroyed.

He took her hand and gave her silent comfort and strength in the dark.

Princess Xinyang's mood gradually calmed down.

"Xiao Ji, did you sleep?"

She asked softly.

Her response was an even breath.

Also, I must have been sleepy with such a heavy injury and high fever.

But Princess Xinyang couldn't sleep. She supported herself with her arms and looked at his sleeping face without blinking through the snow light from the window.

Twenty years are like a day. It's really beautiful.

"Xiao Ji."

She cried again.

Xiao Ji slept heavily.

She looked at him steadily, and a bold idea flashed through her mind.

She blushed and stuck her head down.

Is she evil?

How could she do this?

But——

She straightened her head again, glanced shyly at him, and her heart beat wildly.

Anyway... He fell asleep, I don't know.

The educated and reasonable, dignified and precious Princess Xinyang finally summoned up her courage and slowly approached him with a red face. Shui Yingying's eyes fell on his diamond thin lips.

She took a deep breath and did the boldest thing of her life. She leaned down and touched her lips gently on his cheek.

In the night, there was a low sneer: "Qinfeng night, you have strengthened your courage for a long time, that's it?"

Princess Xinyang's hair is fried!
