Chapter 44 Gifts
For Xiaoxun's sake, Jiang Ping shared a set of his own clean clothes for the young man. They were about the same size, and his clothes fit the young man well.

He also put the extra tarpaulin under his body to prevent the river from rising at night.Fortunately, it is summer now, and it is not too cold at night. It is not difficult for the young man to make do with a night in the cabin.

The sudden incident during the day seemed to have a strange therapeutic effect on seasickness, and Xiaoxun didn't feel sick anymore at night, but he still had no appetite.He couldn't eat anything, so he came to the bow of the boat alone to enjoy the river wind.

Today is fine, and the stars at night are extraordinarily bright, twinkling like a handful of fine pearls sprinkled on the black curtain.

Xiaoxun looked up at the twinkling stars, and couldn't help but wonder what Xiaoruo was doing right now?Could she be looking up at the night sky too?Will they stare at the same star?
When he was in a daze, a small jar was handed over to his right.

"Here, this is the pickled cucumber my sister prepared for me. Try it, it can cure seasickness." It was Ma Laosan who came.

He held the can in one hand, and with the other he awkwardly picked at the hem of his trousers, his eyes flickered and he dared not look directly at Xiaoxun.

Xiao Xun tilted his head, and saw that the open jar really contained yellow-green pickled melons.Cucumbers are cut into finger lengths, and the edges are pickled by the delicious and rich sauce, which is very tasty at first glance.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed a piece into his mouth. It was crispy and smooth, with a hint of sweetness in the salty sour, very appetizing.

"Thank you." Xiao Xun nodded his thanks.

"No, you're welcome." Ma Laosan saw that Xiaoxun had eaten pickled cucumbers, and he had a relieved expression on his face. He was worried that Xiaoxun would ignore him, after all, his attitude towards Xiaoxun was too bad before. up.

"It should be me thanking you. If you hadn't followed me this afternoon, I might have fallen into the river to feed the fish." Ma Laosan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Brother Xiaoxun, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. "

Xiaoxun was a little surprised, he thought Ma Laosan would always be angry with him until the trip was over.

"It's nothing, if you walk darts together, you should help each other."

"Hey! I knew you were not a narrow-minded person! From now on, you will be my half-brother! I, Ma Laosan, have no other skills, but to protect my weaknesses! If you have anything to say in the future, I will tell you as soon as possible. The third child goes up the mountain of swords and descends into the sea of ​​fire, and I'm a coward in a blink of an eye!" Ma Laosan grinned and patted his chest.

"Ma Laosan! Don't be so foolish outside! Ask Brother Xiao to come in and eat some grilled fish together!" Jiang Ping's bold voice came from the cabin.

"Hey! Come!" Ma Laosan replied, pulled Xiaoxun and walked into the cabin, talking about his sister's skillful hands and loving hands, as if his sister was a fairy descended from the sky.

But thanks to Ma Laosan's can of pickled cucumbers, Xiaoxun never got seasick again on the waterway after that.

After laying down the youth the next day, they sailed smoothly and reached their destination in only four days.

Counting the days, they arrived two days earlier than promised to the boss. The recipient was very satisfied. The South Dian Road is far and dangerous. If the goods can arrive safely and on time, the boss will be very happy to give the money.In addition to the promised 50 taels of bodyguard money per person, an additional 20 taels of reward was given to each person.

After the task was completed and the money was collected, Jiang Ping gave the brothers a day of free activities as usual, so that they could relax physically and mentally.

"Brother Xiao, let's start again at noon tomorrow. You can arrange it yourself during this time." Jiang Ping said with a smile.

"Hey, why don't you follow me, my brother will take you to a fun place!" Ma Laosan nudged Xiaoxun, blinked his mung bean eyes at him, and squeezed out the creases even with the scar on his face .

Jiang Ping slapped Ma Laosan staggering, and scolded angrily: "Ma Laosan! Don't spoil brother Xiao! Before leaving, I promised your sister to watch over you, and you will get the money again." Go gamble and see what I tell your sister when I go back!"

Ma Laosan didn't dare to speak anymore, he scratched his face, and went back to the inn in desperation.He didn't dare to gamble under the eyes of the boss. If the boss really went back and told his sister, his sister would pull his ears off.

Xiaoxun didn't intend to go relax with Ma Laosan at first, although he got 70 taels of silver this time, he wanted to save the money and give it to Xiaoruo.

Declining Jiang Ping's invitation to take him to taste the specialties in southern Yunnan, he plans to go shopping in the street to see if there are any new gadgets that he can bring back to make the two cubs at home happy.

When setting off, Xiaoruo stuffed the two taels of silver that Jiang Ping had given him into his bag. The food, lodging, and transportation along the way were all paid by the escort agency, and he hadn't had a chance to use his own silver yet.

The style of southern Yunnan is very different. There are many vendors dressed in local costumes along the street, and most of the stalls are strange animals and plants that Xiaoxun has never seen before.

There is a bamboo shoot-shaped tree core as tall as a person, and there are also various flowers in bloom on banana leaves, and more of them are still alive and wriggling insects.

"Brother, do you want some fresh silkworm chrysalis?"

"Stir-fried mushroom fungus is so sweet! Let's have some mushroom fungus!"

"My own plantain heart, the thirst-quenching plantain heart, it's cheap~"

All kinds of warm voices came and went.

Xiaoxun shuttled among the crowd, the two exquisite wood-carved ponies were for Xiaoyou Xiaozhao, and the locally fried Yunshan tea was for old man Cen. Well, see if that fits Ruo Ruo too.

In the end, he went shopping until it was almost dark, so he chose the medicine sachet.

There are two unique white flowers blooming on the indigo fabric. The store told Xiaoxun that this is their unique tie-dye here, which is made with natural plant juices such as indigo, isatidis and mugwort as dyes.Inside the sachet are medicinal materials such as Panax notoginseng powder, Yunnan gentian, and angelica, which are special products in southern Yunnan, accompanied by flowers and spices. The smell is long and pleasant, and it has the effect of helping sleep and calming the mind.

Xiao Xun picked up the medicine sachet and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. The faint medicine fragrance was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, as if Xiao Ruo's tender hands were stroking his face, and suddenly a burst of heat rose from his handsome face. He put down the money and took the sachet Just leave in a hurry.

Why is this guy's face so red all of a sudden?The storekeeper looked puzzled at Xiaoxun's slightly panicked back.

That night Xiaoxun fell asleep with the scent of the medicine on his pillow, and he was haunted by shadows and dreams all night long. In his dream, Xiaoruo smiled at him softly.

The rooster crowed three times, and he woke up suddenly. There was no handsome white arm in front of him, nor a burning dragon and phoenix wedding candle, but only the strange top of the bed.He is still in the inn in western Yunnan, thousands of miles away from home.

Xiaoxun turned over and sat up, feeling the wet bedding, couldn't help arching his legs, and buried his hot cheeks into his palms.

Damn it, he hammered himself bitterly. If he wants to marry Ruo Ruo, he must quickly become stronger.
