Chapter 031: Trading
Jiu Fangxia didn't hesitate at all. She stood by the water and calmly threw her clothes on the ground. She stepped into the water and swam deeper, then leaned against the side of the hot spring pond and closed her eyes.
"Come down if you want to wash." Jiu Fangxia closed her eyes and said, "I don't know what you are fussing over, Long Yu, there is nothing that has not happened between us. Now, are you being shy? Don't you think it's ridiculous?
"
Long Yu turned around and looked at Jiu Fangxia, who could only vaguely see his head exposed in the mist, slowly walking towards the hot spring pool.
It would be really ridiculous if she stood on the outside and watched with cold eyes. Jiu Fangxia has been her male favorite in the past few years. He should have seen everything he should and shouldn't have, and he should have seen everything no matter how ridiculous his face is.
. But now he is acting like he cannot be offended. He must be thinking in his heart, everyone is so familiar, who is he pretending to.
But Long Yu couldn't stop laughing. He turned his back to the pond and untied the quilt. He opened the temporary robe he grabbed from the room with one hand and put it on his body. Then he put the quilt down and slowly stepped on the pebbles into the water.
The temperature of the water is just right. In this cold season, it soaks the body and relieves fatigue and irritability.
Long Yu was not good at water and did not dare to go deep. When he reached the point where his chest was reached, he found a rock on the shore to lean on and closed his eyes. His heart was tumbling even more than the gurgling hot springs.
For a moment, it was silent. The lights in the wooden house were still on. Lin Yunshen seemed to be still sitting in the living room. The moonlight was brighter than it looked on the mountain. It was quiet in this season. There were no chirping insects or birds, but the wind whistling through the woods.
the sound of.
After soaking for a while, the fatigue of the body was much better. The hot spring was like a gentle hand brushing over the body, taking away all traces. However, the burnt area on Long Yu's face ached slightly due to the steaming heat, and he frowned.
Opening my eyes, I was about to reach out and touch it out of habit, when I suddenly heard a voice in my ear: "Don't touch it."
Long Yu was startled and turned around, only to see Jiufang Xia opening his eyes at some point and looking at him. He couldn't see his expression clearly from the distance, but he heard him say: "The ointment I put on your wound is not afraid of water.
But no matter how sad you are, you can't rub it with your hands, as it will leave scars."
There was naturally some concern in Jiu Fangxia's words, and it was natural to call him fake. He said he really cared about him, but Long Yu didn't think he had any reason.
Before he could answer, Jiu Fangxia had already waded over and swam over. He was very good at water and very fast. He reached Long Yu's side in a few seconds and grabbed her hand that was raised to her face to prevent her from touching his wounds.
.
Jiu Fangxia was a bit taller than Long Yu. The water here did not reach Long Yu's neck, but it could only reach Jiu Fangxia's chest, revealing most of his strong chest. Her wet black hair was spread on her back, with water droplets flowing down her back.
With the hair falling down from the cheeks, the beautiful man is out of the bath, which is not unattractive.
"Jiu Fang Xia..." Long Yu was silent for a while, then breathed out softly: "Do you believe the legend told by Lin Yunshen? Do you believe that fate can really change the pattern of the world by one person? I can't do anything.
, can it really be a help to unify the world?"
"I believe." Jiufang Xia spat out three words, which made a loud sound when they fell into the water.
"Okay." Long Yu said: "Since you believe it, then I will make an exchange with you. Regardless of the past, from now on, as long as I can do anything, as long as I don't do anything harmful to Dongjin, I will be willing to help you.
.The world is so big that one person cannot take it all. If Linluo can hold his head high, make the country rich and the people strong, and be the master of a country, that should be enough."
Jiu Fangxia squinted her eyes and couldn't tell whether it was a smile or some other expression: "Let bygones be bygones, Long Yu, why do you think I will agree to you? And even if I believe in fate, why should I believe in you?"
"Because when you and I speak, we always stick to our word." Long Yu said: "Although I have made many mistakes in the past, my words have always been resounding. And I can trust Mr. Jiufang's credibility."
Although Long Yu didn't know much about the past, he had heard in the past few days that they must have had some kind of deal or Jiufang Xia had made some promise, so he stayed in the princess's house and waited until she told her to leave.
.
At first, Long Yu thought that the reason Jiu Fangxia stayed in the Princess Mansion was because he was Linluo's hostage and had to endure humiliation and humiliation for the sake of peace between the two countries. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. The one who restrained him actually
It was a promise made in the past, and a man who could fulfill such a promise, regardless of his character, was at least a man of his word. Now, Long Yu could only take a gamble.
What's more, an agreement cannot be unilaterally reneged upon. After getting out of here, Long Yu thought, there would always be a chance to make another plan. She was an arrogant, domineering and high-spirited woman back then, but now she just wants to restrain herself.
If the reason was different, I would suddenly have to compromise so much.
Jiu Fangxia smiled: "Since the princess said so, it would be stingy for me to say no. Well, I will wait for you to help me get this grand plan, make the country rich and powerful, and I will not correct the past."
After saying that, Jiu Fangxia helped Long Yu's arm: "The soaking time has been long enough. Come ashore. We will go out early tomorrow morning."
"Go back?" Long Yu had no sense of balance in the water. He felt unsteady when he moved in the water. He reflexively stretched out his hand to support Jiu Fangxia's shoulders, but intuitively felt that he was naked in the water, as if he was being burned.
hand.
Really, the most familiar stranger can't help but be embarrassed.
Jiu Fangxia said nothing. When he reached the shallow water on the shore, he let go and walked toward the shore. The moonlight fell faintly on his back, and some traces of old scars could be seen on the delicate skin.
Long Yu had been soaking in hot water for a long time and was a little groggy. Jiu Fangxia was so calm. She felt that if she was too coy, she would look boring. What's more, what they said was right, they were an old couple.
Why are you so shy?
Jiu Fangxia walked ashore, put on her clothes, and then did not turn around. She waited until Long Yu also came ashore, wiped herself and wrapped herself in a quilt, and then he came over and picked her up.
Long Yu was carried out by Jiu Fangxia. Naturally, he was not wearing any shoes or socks. Although there was no glass on the ground, it was filled with gravel. Before he even hesitated, Jiu Fangxia had already picked him up again.
"Since we each get what we need, we should naturally coexist peacefully." Jiufangxia walked forward without looking at Long Yu and said calmly: "I will return to Linluo tomorrow. The princess is also my honored guest. As long as you are honest,
I won’t treat you badly.”
Long Yu smiled: "I know the current affairs best, so I will naturally be honest."
Sometimes, pretending to be stupid or pretending to be dead is an attitude towards life. Long Yu comforted himself that if Jiu Fangxia was of her time, she would definitely not be as good as her.
After entering the room, Lin Yunshen was no longer in the hall. Jiu Fangxia put Long Yu on the bed and said, "You can rest for a while. I will come and call you at dawn."
After saying that, Jiu Fangxia walked to the corner of the room, picked up the clothes of the two people scattered on the floor, and closed the door.
There was nothing to say all night long. Although Long Yu's heart was full after all this tossing, he was also really tired. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
The early morning in the valley was quiet and noisy. There were flocks of unknown birds singing loudly in the forest. Long Yu woke up from a deep sleep, opened his eyes and stood up. To his surprise, he saw that he had changed his face yesterday.
He took off his wet clothes and neatly folded them on the stool next to the bed.
The window was half open, and the sunlight illuminated half of the room. A few birds were jumping and chirping on the window sill. The wind blowing in from the window carried the fresh breath of vegetation. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a paradise.
.
No matter how depressed I was, I felt much relieved when I woke up in such an environment. I stood up, put on my clothes, tied my hair back casually, and opened the door and went out.
Breakfast has been placed on the table, which is a small pot of white porridge, salted eggs, pickled melon and a few other side dishes. Although not rich, it looks fresh and refreshing.
Still in surprise, footsteps sounded outside the door. It was Jiu Fangxia who came from the hut set up in the corner of the yard with a plate of steamed buns. Seeing Long Yu get up, he said: "Are you up? Go wash up, you can eat.
.”
Although she didn't wear an apron, the way Jiu Fangxia held the plate was not obtrusive at all. Long Yu was quite surprised. This man could really go to the hall, to the kitchen, and... to the bedroom.
.
By the time Long Yu came back from washing up, Jiu Fangxia was already sitting at the table waiting. There was already half a bowl of porridge in the bowl, and a salted egg that had been peeled in half was placed on the plate next to it.
"The conditions are limited, I feel wronged princess." Jiu Fangxia said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to the simple meal."
In his life, Long Yu must have been accustomed to delicacies from the mountains and seas, and countless fine clothes and food. Whether he was in the princess's house or traveling, he was always accompanied by a group of maids and servants. He had never done anything by himself in this life. Even if he is under the eaves now,
Jiu Fangxia still regarded her as being at the same level, and he never expected her to be able to do laundry and cook, so she had to take care of everything.
Jiu Fangxia was just the opposite. Apart from the days she spent in Linluo when she was a child, she had no worries about food and clothing. When she was learning skills in the valley, she had to do everything by herself. In those days at the Princess Mansion, although there were many
The maids and servants served him, but when he was with Long Yu, he liked to let them serve him regardless of how he dressed or ate.
Naturally, Long Yu had nothing to fault. He sat down and took a sip of porridge, then turned to look at the door of the other bedroom: "Where is Lin Yunshen?"
"Gone." Jiufangxia said.
"Gone?" Long Yu asked smoothly: "Where did you go? Aren't you in the same group? He didn't follow you?"
"Why is he following me?" Jiu Fangxia put the dishes on the small plate for Long Yu as she was accustomed to: "He is my senior brother, that's all, there is no other relationship."
Long Yu nodded, said oh, and concentrated on eating.
After dinner, Jiufangxia had nothing to clean up, so he rested for a while, and went on the road with Long Yu. The door did not need to be locked, but was only vaguely closed. No one here, not even wild animals, could come in. It was almost isolated.
In a world outside this world.
When entering the valley, Jiufang Xia jumped into the hot spring pond and swam in along the gap connecting the bottom of the pond. The way out was along a dense jungle, jumping on the almost inseparable woods, jumping on the dragon
When Yu almost felt like he was drowning in a sea of green, he discovered that the gaps between trees were getting sparser and thinner, and finally he could walk normally.
At noon, Long Yu finally came out of the woods. Looking at the smoke curling up in twos and threes in the distance, Long Yu exhaled a long breath.
Although paradise is a kind of beauty, it feels good to return to the human world. After all, Long Yu is still a mortal who grew up among all kinds of food. When he sees the smoke curling up from the kitchen, he feels an indescribable feeling of intimacy.
There were no convenient means of transportation in this era, so Long Yu and the others could only walk at first. When they arrived at the nearest village, they spent money to buy a horse, and then they began to relax.
Long Yu traveled in a hurry and took almost no money with him. Jiu Fangxia did bring a lot of money with him, and he was quite generous when he threw money to the groom.
The silver mask was taken out and put on his face at some point. It seemed that although Jiu Fangxia was a man, he still cared about the scar on his face. In fact, in Long Yu's eyes, it was not that weird. A man.
