How can I find it?
Yue Lingxi stood still for a moment, suddenly pulled up the corners of her skirt and walked diagonally to the opposite corner, her steps were extremely light, she flashed left and right like a rabbit, and after passing through the book array on the ground, she opened a book that was upside down on the ground, and the two big characters on the title page of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing suddenly brightened her eyes.
Go straight to the thickest one, and sure enough, it's right!
She looked left and right, found the remaining two volumes, and went downstairs with her hand.
"Boss, how much do these three dictionaries cost?"
Hearing her half-baked Chu State accent, the old man suddenly raised his head, first squinted at the book in her arms, then looked at her for a while, and then stroked his beard and smiled: "Little girl, it's okay, such a heavy thing has come down by herself, you must study hard when you go back!"
In this way, even if the old man is cheaper for you, one hundred and twenty yuan!
” Yue Lingxi took out the money from her pocket with one free hand, put it on the table and was about to leave, when the old man hurriedly stopped her: "Hey, little girl, wait, I'll send you a little gadget back to watch and play!"
” After speaking, a thin booklet flew to the top of the dictionary, because it was upside down, Yue Lingxi didn't see what it was, politely thanked the old man and left.
When I went back, I was still walking the same way, and the sun was obscured by the clouds, and the empty stone road was covered with a thin layer of puffs, and the people who had been hiding in the house came out in one fell swoop and ran to the shops on the street to buy ice fruits to eat.
Le Lingxi was a little out of breath holding those dead books, she just wanted to go back quickly and free her hands, and finally arrived at the door of the inn, she was going to rest for a while and then climb the stairs, just put the books on the ground and a group of people slowly walked to the end of the street, and under the careful gaze, she suddenly stiffened slightly.
"Have you heard, this is the corrupt official who was run by Master Pei of the Criminal Department a while ago, and he is followed by officials and profiteers who are in a nest with him!"
"Really?
Look at this is going to be exiled outside the border, and so many people's hard-earned money has been looted, this kind of end is cheap for them!
” The group of people who were talking to the two Confucian scholars had already walked in front of them, and saw more than 20 burly servants gathered around the prisoners, holding iron shackles in one hand and whips in the other, and walked through the crowd towards the post station.
Yue Lingxi came back to her senses from the noisy sound, and hurriedly retreated to the side, who knew that she accidentally tripped over the book under her feet, knocked her elbow on the ground, and made a big hole in her sleeve, she was very embarrassed, she didn't care to check her injuries, she picked up her things and ran into the inn in three or two clicks.
Running all the way up to the second floor, she didn't realize her gaffe until she stood at the door of the wing.
It shouldn't be like this, so many years have passed.
She adjusted her breathing, and only when she calmed down did she feel a hot pain in her elbow, she couldn't see the wound while holding the book, and she didn't care too much about it, and then pushed the door open.
There was a curtain in the room, the light was a little dim, Chu Xiang was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping soundly, Yue Lingxi quietly walked in and put the books on the coffee table, then twisted her arm and looked at it, only to find that the sleeves of her dress were torn, she frowned, and then walked lightly to the cabinet.
You have to change your clothes quickly, otherwise you will be afraid that people will make jokes when they see it.
She thought so, and then opened the cabinet door, and before she could take out her baggage, a low male voice came from behind her: "Back?"
” Yue Lingxi was startled, and his shoulder slammed against the cabinet door, making a loud noise.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Xiang lifted the tent and got up, there was still a little sleepiness in Jun's eyes, but after seeing the blood stains on Yue Lingxi's sleeve, she suddenly froze, she had nowhere to hide, so she had to watch the heroic figure get closer and closer, enveloping her like a mountain, and his big palm reached forward, and easily grabbed her wrist.
"What's going on?"
“…… Fell downstairs. ” Chu Xiang looked at her with low eyes for a long time, then suddenly let go of his hand and walked straight to the door, "Go and sit down over there." ” Yue Lingxi silently moved to the coffee table and sat down, seeing that he opened the door and summoned the shadow guard, I don't know what to say, it didn't take long for the shadow guard to bring a medicine box, he turned around and went back to the room to open it, took out the medicinal wine and bandages inside, and then stretched out his hand towards her.
She put her hand up in a daze, only to hear a hissing sound, and the water sleeve was torn into rags in an instant, leaving only a piece of the smooth lotus root arm exposed.
"Actually, you can still wear it if you make up for it."
She bought this dress at a great price, and it was not torn when it fell into the water, and he said that it was torn and torn, which really made her flesh hurt.
Chu Xiang lowered her head and smeared medicine on her, just listening to this tone, she knew what she was thinking in her heart, and splitting her head and covering her face was a reprimand: "The clothes you bought in Xiyi are not the styles that women in Chu love to wear now, but fortunately, there are many foreigners here, so it is not conspicuous at all to dress differently, and when you get to the royal capital, you will see if anyone laughs at you." ” "Oh......" she replied in a low voice, her eyes wide open, "and why didn't you mention it before?"
” Chu Xiang choked and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yue Lingxi didn't seem to notice the subtle change in the atmosphere, and still said to himself: "But you are a prince, and you should read countless women, I believe in your aesthetics." ” At this time, Chu Xiang even stopped the movements in his hand, raised his head and stared at her without blinking, the corners of his forehead twitched faintly, "In your eyes, the princes of Chu State are all people who enter the customs and go through the back door, and read women like carp crossing the river?"
” "Aren't you the only prince of the Chu Kingdom?"
Chu Xiang choked again.
Why is he always getting caught up in her?
I wanted to think so, but as soon as he came into contact with her soft and somewhat dazed gaze, he always had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if a corner had collapsed, and his usual calm self-control disappeared, but he couldn't be annoyed, but he wanted to laugh inexplicably.
Yes, everything she said was a tune, and in the morning at the door of the crowded inn, she asked him so bluntly why he couldn't live in a room, and he didn't know what evil he had fallen into, so he didn't tell her that Chu State was not like Xiyi living in groups, and lonely men and widows should keep their distance.
It was the first time in this world that he had been with someone like this.
Yue Lingxi saw that he was silent for a long time, so he cut off a piece of gauze and pasted it on the inside of his elbow, and when he was about to get the bandage, his hand had already covered it, and he simply wrapped it three times neatly, and then tied a slipknot, she tried to move, not tight or loose, and then, his magnetic voice floated into her ears again.
"Go inside and change your clothes."
Yue Lingxi went from the good ground.
There are also two sets of clothes in the baggage, the sky-blue smoke and water skirt was given by Lu Mingrui, and the snow-colored dew lily skirt was purchased by Chu Xiang when he passed by Bocheng, Yue Lingxi did not hesitate, and picked out the snow-colored one and put it on in the dim light of the inner room.
He can't go wrong with his choice.

After getting dressed and coming out, she found that Chu Xiang was flipping through the things she bought with a different face, and when she got closer, it turned out to be the booklet given by the boss.
"You bought this too?"
"Script?"
Yue Lingxi's eyes flashed with questions, but he shook his head, "Send it." ” Chu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, pulled her to the side and sat down, and shook out the title page of the booklet to show her, not wanting it to be a three-book-wide color painting, in which a man and a woman were dressed up, snuggling in a very intimate posture, and the eyes were full of endless affection.
She understood in an instant that the words were about the love story of men and women.
Chu Xiang flipped back again, pointed to the four big characters on the cover and asked, "I taught you, how to read it?"
” Yue Lingxi picked it up and looked down from above, and read it one by one: "Merry......
Emperor?
” As soon as she finished speaking, her tongue froze, her fingers were slightly numb, and she almost shook the book to the ground—who was so bold as to dare to arrange the emperor indiscriminately?
"They......
How dare they be so disrespectful to His Majesty?
” Chu Xiang chuckled and said, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, what is there to dare?"
They pointed to the rumors of these flower streets and willow lanes in Wangdu to make money, and they gave you a copy today and they are all generous. ” "I knew it was this, so I wouldn't have asked for it."
Yue Lingxi twisted her brows and pushed the book to the farthest place, as if she was quite displeased, Chu Xiang saw this, she simply waved her sleeves and swept it into the bamboo basket, and then pulled back her body and said, "You are very angry." ” "He obviously saw that I bought a dictionary and knew that I didn't learn all the words, so he dared to stuff me with this kind of thing that I didn't dare to sell openly, but we are going to enter Beijing, if you don't pay attention to bring this thing back today, wouldn't it be troublesome for people to see it?"
It turned out that he was afraid that he would get into trouble.
A little warmth surged in Chu Xiang's heart, and he only said no, then pulled her up and pushed her to the side of the bed, "I fell and injured my hand after being wild outside for a long time, go sleep for a while." ” Yue Lingxi had been with him for more than a month, and knew that he was not allowed to speak with his movements, and besides, she was really tired, so she obediently ripped off the tent and retracted into the bed.
There was an afterfragrance on the pillow, which seemed to smell of pine needles and wood rhinos, which was very refreshing and good, and she unconsciously lowered her eyelashes.
Hearing the steady breathing Chu Xiang knew that she was asleep, the smile on her face suddenly changed, and she turned around and walked outside the room, where Liu Yinxian had been waiting for a long time.
"What just happened downstairs?"
"Hui Master, I have already asked, that is, Miss Yue ran into the team escorting the prisoners when she came back, and she couldn't dodge and fell, and nothing else."
"The panic in the eyes can't always deceive people."
Chu Xiang's eyes lit up, and he was cold, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Liuyin buried his head and guessed, "Maybe I was scared by the officer who whipped the prisoner." ” Originally, the abuse of prisoners was an abuse of lynching, and it should be dealt with strictly, but at this time, Chu Xiang's thinking stopped at a certain point, and the moment the glimmer passed, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
When he was in the barracks, he happened to see the scar on her leg, which was clearly a whiplash from the texture and perspective, could it be that it was also caused by the errand soldiers?
She's not a refugee, she's a sin.
This realization made Chu Xiang quite surprised, he knew that most of the people who would be tattooed with this pattern were sentenced to exile outside the customs, the bitter cold in the north, the wind and snow for many years, some people froze to death on the road, some were kidnapped back by bandits to be slaves after leaving the customs, and a very small number of lucky people arrived in the surrounding countries alive, but they were all discriminated against because they were of different races.
Yue Lingxi didn't look very old, according to the time calculation, she was only a half-old child when she was convicted, and Chu Xiang could hardly imagine how she survived.
However, a child will not commit heinous crimes, she should have been implicated by the people of the clan before ending up in a foreign land, if the criminal law had been reformed earlier, it might not be like today, it's just that the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to think too much.
But then again, she is only afraid that there is no one alive now, so what is the reason for her to mix in the ranks of refugees and go to great lengths to return to the Chu country?
