Akhya glared at him angrily, refused to pay attention to him, and just followed Teji on her own.
On the top of the moon, in the mountain forest, there are many shadows of trees, covering a small courtyard.
The small courtyard is not big, with only two rooms. Oil lamps are lit, and the weak light actually reveals a bit of warmth in this silent night.
"We're here." Teji stopped first and his expression softened.
He pushed open the half-open wood door and had already calmed down, but an old voice came from inside the house for the first time.
"Teji, you're back."
Teji paused and sighed helplessly: "Grandma, didn't you say you don't have to wait for me?"
"The mountain road is difficult to walk. If you don't come back, how can I sleep peacefully?"
Ahaya followed the sound and looked over, and saw a hunched-over mother-in-law standing by the door, holding an oil lamp in her hand, her eyes cloudy and lifeless.
Teji could only smile, his eyes filled with warmth.
"After I arrived in Daxu, my grandma took me in." He explained to Aheya, "If it weren't for my grandma, I might have frozen to death outside the city."
"It's him who goes into the mountains to hunt every day to support a blind old woman like me." Grandma's voice was a bit helpless, speaking for Teji, "If there are guests here, don't just stand outside. Come in and sit down."
"Hey." Teji responded, put down his bow and arrow, and led the two of them into the house, "Grandma lives in the main house, and you live in my side room."
Ahaya nodded and looked at Xie Jie with a bit of worry.
Although she was a princess, she also lived in the open air during her escape and slept everywhere, so she was naturally not picky. But it was hard to say that for Xie Jie.
Xie Jie did not sense her thoughts. He was looking somewhere in the room, squinting his eyes slightly, thoughtfully, and his eyes seemed a little cold.
Ahaya followed his gaze and saw a stove. The bottom was kept very clean, which showed that the person who lived here for a long time was a hard-working person.
If anything was strange, it was that the bowls and chopsticks on the stove were stacked upside down one after another, and they were actually covered with a thin layer of ash.
Probably after the mother-in-law became blind, the children separated their families. When Teji came, there were only two of them, so these bowls and chopsticks were no longer needed, so they were left idle.
Before she could figure out why Xie Jie was so interested in the stove, she heard Teji call out.
"here!"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Jie took the lead in retracting his gaze, nodded towards Ahaya, and walked towards Teji who was standing by the door of the side room, looking directly at them.
"It's done, you can sleep in this room." Teji stared at Ahaya, as if observing her expression, "I'll boil some water for you to take a bath later."
The side room was relatively small and could be seen at a glance. There was only a small square window letting in the moonlight, and opposite it was a not wide Kang.
It was difficult for one person to sleep on that kang. If two people wanted to sleep on it, they would have to squeeze in together.
Ahaya was stunned for a moment, and then listened to what he said about taking a bath. Her eyes immediately fell on the wooden basin in the house, and she paused, her face suddenly burning.
"Wash, take a bath?" Ahaya even stuttered in her voice and said at a loss, "No need..."
Naked to each other...
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Teji frowned slightly and looked at the two of them inquiringly, as if he was weighing their relationship. "Are you really a couple? I heard that there was chaos in the city tonight..."
"Is there a chaos? What's going on?" Ahaya's eyes narrowed, and she quickly took over the conversation, pretending to be shocked, and put aside her own relationship first, "We have to go to the city tomorrow, will there be any impact?"
"Really?" Teji was still a little suspicious.
"My wife is thin-skinned." Xie Jie naturally held Ahaya's shoulders and shook his head fondly, "What's more, if we stay overnight, we are already troublesome to you. How can we let you boil water for us to take a bath?"
"They are both Beirong people...and the sons-in-law of Beirong, they are our own people." Teji smiled heartily, "You have so much dirt on your body, and I'm afraid it will stain my kang when you sleep with it!
"
When it comes to this level, there is no room for rejection.
Ahaya's eyes changed slightly, her intuition felt strange, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll trouble you."
Teji responded and went to the stove to light the fire.
There were only two people left in the side room, and there was silence.
In the dark night, with only an oil lamp as a light source, the two of them were sitting on the kang together, so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
Ahaya poked Xie Jie, lowered her voice, and seemed worried: "Is he suspicious?"
That's right. The two of them said they were fleeing, but their clothes were not much damaged, especially Xie Jie, whose brocade clothes were very conspicuous even in the night.
"Orion is so sensitive, he may have smelled the blood on my body." A smile flashed in Xie Jie's eyes, and he nodded in cooperation.
Ahaya was stunned for a moment, her eyes slowly opened wide and widened.
She should have thought of it! This tyrant killed so many people at the gate of the government office. Although the coat stained with the most blood was taken off and thrown away before entering the black market, the smell of blood would not dissipate for a while.
She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but give Xie Jie an angry look: "You know, why didn't you cover it up earlier!"
"no chance."
It's not necessary either.
Xie Jie thought about the strange thing in the courtyard, his eyes were slightly cold, and when he looked at Ahaya, he narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips like a big-tailed wolf.
Ahaya finished her words, clenched her fists, and sat down with Xie Jie behind her back, leaving him with a sullen back, but a hint of cunning flashed in her slightly drooped eyes.
"You guys wash it."
The two were in a stalemate until Teji came in with boiled water, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
He glanced at the two of them, seeming a little confused and not able to ask questions, so he just gave instructions and closed the door and went out.
Ahaya's eyes moved slightly, and she was about to stand up and pour out the water, but was held down by Xie Jie.
"People are still there."
His eyes fell on Ahaya, and his tone was unclear, with a hint of watching a show.
That means she should play it to the end.
Ahaya almost laughed out of anger at him. She looked at Xie Jie's face that was the same as in the previous life and suddenly laughed.
Just take a shower. This tyrant in the previous life has become ridiculous, and the mandarin duck bath has been missed again?
I can’t tell who is the one who can’t sit still first.
She stood up, turned her back to Xie Jie, and slowly untied her clothes.
The oil lamp reflected her figure on the door leaf, making her look charming.
"what you do?"
Xie Jie's eyes suddenly darkened, his Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he stared at Aheya like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time.
"Let's take a shower." Ahaya curled her lips, came closer to him, bent slightly, breathed into his ear, and called softly, "Your Majesty."
"It's enough to touch the water with your hand and make some noise."
Xie Jie closed his eyes, veins popped up on his forehead, forced himself to calm down, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
He regretted a little at this time and decided to close the net here.
"No." Ahaya didn't care about him, relying on the tyrant to dare not act rashly, and deliberately leaned against Xie Jie again, snorting.
"Your Majesty didn't say that. If you want to make an untenable lie unimpeachable, the best way is to turn it into truth?"
"I'm...learning to apply it." This chapter has been completed!
