Chapter 8 Sheepskin Map(1/2)
There was silence all the way, with Shen Xingliu walking in front and Tang Xuanxuan following behind.
Shen Xingliu originally thought that she would go back after a while, but when he saw that he was about to walk out of the forest, he couldn't help but become a little anxious and quickened his pace.
What a piece of wood! It really pissed me off. Tang Xuanxuan was so angry that she didn't pay attention to her steps.
"oops!"
But Shen Xingliu was startled and turned around to take a look.
Tang Xuanxuan fell to the ground and rubbed her ankles with her little hands. He quickly ran over to check and wanted to cover up? But Shen Xingliu snatched it away.
Shen Xingliu frowned and gently opened her socks to check. They were already green.
"It seems that the ankle is sprained, and there are blisters on the soles of the feet." Shen Xingliu put down Tang Xuanxuan's feet and said, "You can't leave anymore, or I will take you back."
"No, I am," Tang Xuanxuan rolled her eyes and said, "It took a lot of effort for us to get here. Going back will definitely waste time and put the sect in danger, so why don't you carry me on your back."
"Me." Shen Xingliu blinked, is this appropriate? I used to hear people in the village say that people carry their wives on their backs.
When Tang Xuanxuan saw Shen Xingliu's refusal, she pretended to cry and said, "I am so pitiful that I am as beautiful as a flower. What if I am snatched away by a wolf in this wilderness?"
Shen Xingliu said helplessly: "Okay, don't regret it, come up."
After saying that, he turned his back to Tang Xuanxuan.
Tang Xuanxuan smiled and lay on his back. Shen Xingliu put the knife under her butt to make her more comfortable.
Carrying Tang Xuanxuan on his back, he walked out of the forest, came to the road, and walked towards the nearest city.
"Let me ask you a question." Shen Xingliu said to the dishonest Tang Xuanxuan.
Tang Xuanxuan was swaying her little feet, and her shoes almost flew off just now, so she said, "Just ask."
"Why do you say I am your first patient?" Shen Xingliu asked puzzled.
"This, that," Tang Xuanxuan was asked about the pain point, and she became a little nervous and said, "You are not allowed to laugh when I say it."
"Do not laugh."
"You swear, you are just a puppy when you lie to people."
"Okay, I swear."
"Okay, let me tell you, actually once I took itchy powder as medicinal powder and sprinkled it on Senior Brother Bai." Tang Xuanxuan said hesitantly.
Shen Xingliu looked stunned for a moment, then "woof" twice and laughed out loud.
Tang Xuanxuan's face suddenly turned red and she yelled, "Ah! Ah! Ah! You liar, I will bite you to death."
After saying that, he bit Shen Xingliu's shoulder for a long time until he could no longer hear laughter.
Tang Xuanxuan opened her mouth with a flushed face and asked weakly: "Are you angry?"
"No." Shen Xingliu felt a pain in his shoulder and realized that the joke was over, and said, "What about you, have you calmed down?"
"Humph! No," Tang Xuanxuan heard that he was not angry and said firmly, "Unless you sing to me."
Shen Xingliu felt dizzy and said, "But I can't sing."
Tang Xuanxuan said reluctantly: "No, I have to sing, I have to sing!"
"Well, okay then, I'll sing you a children's song. It was sung by my mother, and then Grandpa Shen sang it to me." Shen Xingliu's thoughts couldn't help but go back to that unforgettable time.
"Yeah." Tang Xuanxuan said softly.
"Twinkle, twinkle

The sky is bright and full of little stars..."
After singing the song, Tang Xuanxuan's eyes became moist unconsciously, and she said softly: "Your mother should love you very much."
"Of course," Shen Xingliu saw the city not far away and said, "Look, we are almost there."
Tang Xuanxuan lay quietly on his back, and Shen Xingliu looked at the city gate where people were coming and going. I really wonder how many people will survive after this battle?
In the city, I found an inn, put Tang Xuanxuan in the guest room, explained a few words, and then went out to investigate the location of Nan Yu's army.
Tang Xuanxuan silently watched him leave the room and didn't come back until it was almost dark.
"Damn! I went to help you, but you didn't believe me." Shen Xingliu returned to the guest room and cursed angrily.
Tang Xuanxuan's feet have recovered. After all, she is a doctor, although she often forgets this identity!
"It's okay. We are thinking of ways to see if we can win their trust." Tang Xuanxuan consoled her.
Shen Xingliu's anger gradually calmed down and he said, "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal."
"kindness!"
Tang Xuanxuan and Shen Xingliu went down to the first floor together. He didn't have much money, but in order to replenish her health, he still gritted his teeth and bought a roast chicken.
When Tang Xuanxuan saw the roast chicken, her eyes turned into little hearts. I don’t know why, but his food was always so delicious.
Shen Xingliu took a steamed bun, and suddenly Tang Xuanxuan tore off a chicken leg and gave it to him.
Two people, three steamed buns and one chicken were their meals.
After the meal, the two of them were sitting there drinking tea, when five men came in.
Shen Xingliu saw the calluses on the other person's hands and slowly narrowed his eyes. Tang Xuanxuan followed his gaze.
One of them was biting a man of roast chicken and winked at the person next to him.
After receiving the wink, he walked straight to the two of them.
"Hey, it's such a good knife." The man picked up the knife that Shen Xingliu stood on the side, pulled it out and praised it.
Shen Xingliu said calmly: "If I were you, I would put it down."
The man couldn't help but said angrily: "Boy, you are a bit brave."
After saying that, he drew a knife and put it on Shen Xingliu's neck. The shopkeeper and the waiter were so frightened that they hid under the counter.
Shen Xingliu gently held the blade of the knife. Seeing that he was not frightened, the man tried to make some moves, but he couldn't pull out the knife.
With a twist of his wrist, he brought the blade to the man's neck.
"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life!" Seeing the blade of the knife close to his neck, the man begged for mercy: "It was a joke. Don't take it seriously."
After finishing the roast chicken, the man threw the chicken bones on the table, wiped his oily paws on his clothes, and walked forward.
"Brother, let me go for a certain Bomian." Dong Chao apologized, cupping his hands.
Shen Xingliu looked at the man holding his knife and said calmly: "Easy to say, easy to say."
The man quickly let go and slipped back to his seat, where he was teased by the three of them.
"It's not convenient to talk here. I wonder if we can move." Dong Chao said in Shen Xingliu's ear.
After putting away the knife, he pulled Tang Xuanxuan towards the guest room. Dong Chao gestured to the four of them and went upstairs together. However, the four of them did not enter the door but stood guard at the door.
The three people who entered the room, Tang Xuanxuan sat on the bed and watched the two people talking quietly.
"My dear Dong Chao
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
." Dong Chao cupped his fists and said
"Shen Xingliu."
Dong Chao nodded and said: "I think my brother is quite skilled. He has a big deal here. I wonder if you are interested in it."
After saying that, he glanced at Tang Xuanxuan and seemed to feel that she couldn't let her know about this.
"But it doesn't matter, this is my wife."
Tang Xuanxuan turned her face away as if she hadn't heard anything, but her red ears betrayed her.
"Okay then." Dong Chao took out a sheepskin map from his arms and said: "I have no other skills, I only know how to fight against others. Don't misunderstand that I am not asking you to steal, but to help."
"Interesting, how can I help you?" Shen Xingliu said with a smile.
Dong Chao covered his mouth with his hands and said: "Help the Xiang family of Dayu Royal Family to find an ancient jade."
Shen Xingliu was a little doubtful and said, "How should I trust you?"
Dong Chao was a little embarrassed, so he immediately took out the token with the words "Wu Zhang" engraved on it.
"Okay, I believe it." Shen Xingliu didn't know why he had to waste so much time looking for a piece of jade and threw the token to Dong Chao.
Dong Chao took it, blew it with some distress, and said: "Be gentle, what should I do if it breaks."
"You kicked me out, and you still dare to complain?" Shen Xingliu naturally knew the reason, he was being used.
Dong Chao chuckled and said, "Little brother, why are you so vindictive? I apologize to you on behalf of the commander."
"Tell me what's going on with this sheepskin map." He knocked on the sheepskin map on the table.
Dong Chao sat down and said to Shen Xingliu: "This was left by the former general, more than a hundred years ago. Legend has it that the location on the map is a military city, and the ancient jade is in it. I will go to the city to retrieve the ancient jade.
The chief recommends you."
