The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 18

But it's no use crying.

Li Xiaodao took two deep breaths and swallowed his sadness.

They have already declared war with the bad guys, so what should I do by myself?
In addition to letting Xianggong carry the sword tomorrow, think about it, is there any other way to add a layer of insurance.

After thinking for a while, she seemed to have an idea.

So she let go of her husband's hand, turned and walked out the door.

"Where are you going, madam?" Li Xiaodao walked in a hurry, and Pei Zhiqi, who was behind him, hurriedly followed two steps and asked.

Li Xiaodao pressed Pei Zhiqi back into the room: "Master, please don't come out. I'll go downstairs and find the shop assistant to buy something."

"Miss you... are you alright..."

"It's alright. I'll let Xiao Er bring some hot water up by the way. Master, you wash up first." After saying that, Li Xiaodao went downstairs.

Behind her was Pei Zhiqi's worried eyes.

The lady is always like this, sometimes she seems to be trapped by something, but after a while she seems to convince herself to untie her knot and regain her spirits.

Such a strong lady is very cute and very distressing.

Just now, the lady seemed so sad that she was about to cry, but suddenly she put away her sadness and looked like she was going to fight with others. In addition, the lady said that she saw a dark shadow just now, which made Pei Zhiqi worried.

It seemed that the nightmare the lady had on the night of the wedding had too much influence on her, and she always felt that someone was trying to harm her husband.

Pei Zhiqi, who was left in the room, sighed and sat down at the table.

How could he be in danger if he didn't offend others well, the lady must have been frightened by the dream.

If you are really sick, there is nothing you can do. Now you can only follow the lady's will. Anyway, it's not a bad thing for the lady to let her practice swordsmanship or something. Wait for a while to see if it can get better.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiqi felt distressed for a while. The lady was soft and weak and petite, and she was always worried about this and that. She must have had a very hard life every day.

When she comes up, try massaging the acupuncture points on her head, hoping to help her relieve her tension and relax.

Li Xiaodao came out of the room and went downstairs, walked to the counter and greeted the man, "Man, the big room on the second floor needs hot water for washing."

The guy hurriedly shouted at the running hall: "Two buckets of hot water in the large room on the second floor will be delivered immediately—"

"Hey! It's here!" The attendant went to the back kitchen to make arrangements.

Seeing that Li Xiaodao didn't go upstairs after finishing the hot water, the man asked with a smile on his face, "Miss, what else do you want to tell me?"

Li Xiaodao lay down in front of the counter and replied, "It's really a small matter. I want to ask you a favor. I want to buy a package of chili noodles, and I want the hottest chili noodles in your store."

"Chili noodles? What is chili noodles?" The man didn't understand for a while.

Li Xiaodao then remembered that there might be no chili peppers in ancient times, and she was suddenly a little frustrated. She tried to explain to the staff, maybe there were chili peppers by different names?
"It's a red plant that looks like a calf horn. It tastes very spicy. It can be ground into powder and put into dishes, is there?"

"Oh—you're talking about a new variety of spice from the foreigners recently, pepper, right?"

"That's right!" Li Xiaodao nodded hurriedly.

The guy at the counter was astonished. Have you ever seen someone who opened a room who ordered food, or someone who bought chili noodles at the inn?
"This... girl, should you go to a spice shop to buy chili noodles?"

"It's too late to go." Li Xiaodao slapped the broken silver at the counter, "Excuse me for your help."

Seeing that the embarrassed face of the silver man was relieved immediately, he skillfully put the silver into his sleeve, and replied in a good voice: "Young lady, wait a moment, I will go to the back kitchen and ask."

Li Xiaodao nodded, found a chair closest to the counter in the dining hall on the first floor, looked out, and found no suspicious people for the time being.

It should have gone without success, Li Xiaodao thought.

She flicked her fingers on the table, anxious in her heart.

After a while, the guy came out of the back kitchen with a paper bag in his hand.

The guy put the paper bag on the table, "Girl, look at these enough, this thing is very expensive, and we don't have much in the whole store. The use of grinding into powder has only become popular recently, and the store only grinds I use a little fresh, so there is not much, I can only give you a little of this."

Li Xiaodao stood up and picked up the paper bag to take a look. The paper bag was not half the size of a palm.

Forget it, talk is better than nothing!

Li Xiaodao nodded to the guy and said, "Enough, thank you!"

The guy said politely with a smile: "It should be! You can tell me if you have anything!"

When Li Xiaodao returned to the room, he saw Xianggong sitting at the table with a sad face.

Seeing Li Xiaodao coming in, Pei Zhiqi hurriedly took away the worry on his face, stood up and approached, and greeted her with a smile: "My lady is back, can you buy what you want?"

Li Xiaodao nodded: "I bought it!"

She took out the chili noodles and handed it to Pei Zhiqi, "Master, put this away, it's pepper powder, it's very spicy, if you encounter a bad guy and don't have time to draw your sword, just throw it out, just be careful of the wind. time can't be used."

Pei Zhiqi cooperatively took the hot pepper noodles and put them in his arms: "Okay, I'll keep it, ma'am, don't worry."

He poured the hot water from the bucket into the basin, soaked the towel in the hot water, and said with a smile, "Miss, wash up, if the lady doesn't mind, I can help the lady press the acupuncture points on her head after washing. relax for a moment."

Li Xiaodao asked curiously, "Is Xianggong still doing massages?"

"I have read some books about the acupuncture points of the human body's meridians. When I was in school in Fucheng, I found a master to massage and health care with my classmates. At that time, while the master was pressing, I wrote down the master's technique and strength, and recited the master's massage in my heart. After reading the acupuncture points, I pressed some acupoints within my power, and the effect of refreshing my mind was not bad.”

Li Xiaodao said happily: "Xiang Gong is really powerful, then I will wash up quickly."

Li Xiaodao hurriedly washed up, put on loose underwear, and lay down beside the bed.

The bed in the inn was narrow and short. After Li Xiaodao lay down, Pei Zhiqi had no place to sit, so he could only stand at the head of the bed and bent over to massage her head.He first rubbed the temples of Li Xiaodao's head with both hands.

"Xianggong, you sit on the head of the bed, and I'll put my pillow on your lap, so that you don't have to bend down all the time. It's very tiring and hurts your body." space below.

"This……"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Facing Pei Zhiqi's hesitation, Li Xiaodao was very puzzled.

It took a few seconds for her to realize that in ancient times, it was particularly emphasized that men and women were inseparable from each other. It was because of a misunderstanding on the day of the wedding that the husband thought that he hated being touched by him, so he was always cautious.

Although it was true that I was going to run away on the wedding day, I deceived myself at that time, thinking that if I didn't get married, I could avoid the occurrence of the main plot and thus avoid the tragedy, but it wasn't because I hated the husband and prepared a small burden for the husband. To run away.

And didn't he decide to stay by his side in order to avoid Xianggong's tragedy?Even if he succeeds in escaping from marriage, it is a tragedy for a good person like Xianggong to be framed by a bad person, and such a tragedy cannot be allowed to happen.

Having said that, in modern times, it doesn't matter what the pillow and legs are.

"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Hurry up and sit down." Li Xiaodao tilted his head and smiled and looked at Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi felt that his heartbeat seemed to speed up.

"If the lady says you can sit, then I'll... just sit?" The tongue also became less agile.

Li Xiaodao smiled and nodded: "Sit, sit."
