Red apricots make spring

Chapter 207
Early the next morning, Wenrou didn't wake up from the bumps of the carriage, but was suddenly awakened when the bumps stopped abruptly.

When Chuchu opened her eyes, her thoughts were very dazed, she couldn't remember where she was for a moment, she just propped herself up by conditioned reflex, but she heard a slight cry of pain coming from her ear.

Wenrou was taken aback, and turned her head hastily, facing Lu Ce's tired eyes, she remembered what happened yesterday.Then, what she lays on her head after falling asleep unknowingly is——

Undoubtedly, it was Lu Ce's legs.

"You didn't sleep all night?" To avoid embarrassment, Rou Rou lowered her head and asked nonsense.

Lu Ce nodded slightly, how could he sleep with the warm fragrance and warm jade in his arms?

"That, I'm sorry, does it hurt?" Gentle can imagine the pain that a person's legs can feel when their legs are held in one position all night, and they are pressed by heavy objects, and the blood circulation is not smooth.In fact, she herself didn't sleep very well, and she was a little sore all over.

"It's not very painful..." Having said that, Lu Ce's voice still had a bit of depression, and he felt it himself, and said with a faint smile, "It's just a little numb."

"I..." Rourou just wanted to speak, when someone lifted the curtain of the car, and the face of the leader of the dark guard poked in.

"Get out of the car, have something to eat, and do some exercise." He said concisely, without any apology for disturbing others. After speaking, he put down the curtain and left on his own.

Gentle and helpless smile, in fact, as a prisoner, such treatment is considered very good.

"Get out of the carriage." Lu Ce didn't feel any displeasure at all. He left his seat first, jumped off the carriage, and then stretched out his hand for gentle support.

"Are your legs okay?" Rourou still stretched out and slept all night, and she was a little unsteady after getting off the car.

"It's okay." Lu Ce said, looked up and looked around, and saw that it was just a dilapidated teahouse built with bamboo poles, carrying dirty and old wine flags, with three tables and a few benches inside. very.An old man was serving the plate with slow steps, and the stove was an old woman, with some gray hair exposed under the cloth scarf tied around her head.

The teahouse is surrounded by dark guards, but their black clothes are covered with an inconspicuous cloth robe. They look no different from ordinary civilians. Probably in the eyes of outsiders, these dark guards are gentle and kind. Lu Ce, the servants of these two well-dressed people.

It's just that the leader of the hidden guard was sitting carelessly at a table at the moment. Seeing them getting off the car, he pushed the plate in front of him onto the empty seat and said, "Eat." With that appearance and attitude, there was no servant at all. The appearance of the old man was gentle and clear, and he glanced at them with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Rourou looked away, walked to the table with Lu Ce and sat down, looked down and saw that the plate was full of fist-sized buns, with dark skin and a dirty look.In her two lifetimes, although her life was not very rich, but because she was a cook, she never ate such food, so when she saw the steamed stuffed bun, she frowned involuntarily.It's just that in the current situation, she can't help being picky, and no one will coax her if she doesn't eat it. No way, it's more important to fill her stomach, so she reached out and grabbed a bun, put it to her mouth and took a bite.

The first bite went down, and the filling was not bitten.After the second bite, I still didn't bite into the stuffing.Take the third bite...

Rourou finally felt a bit of meaty taste in his mouth, but he looked down at the bun in his hand——

Cough, she still thinks it is more appropriate to call this kind of steamed bun, and it is the kind of steamed bun that is dry and hard, and the mouth is full of crumbs when chewed.

Quietly raised his eyes to look at Lu Ce, and found that he was also gnawing on the steamed stuffed bun with a blank face, turned his eyes again, and saw that the leader of the dark guard was already very displeased, but he didn't say anything, just kept pouring it into his mouth. Tea, so that swallowing is not too difficult for myself.

For a while, the surroundings were so quiet that there was no other sound. Everyone was chewing the dry bun in their mouths, but their expressions were so tragic that they seemed to be gnawing on a stone.

After eating half a steamed stuffed bun, Wen Rou had no appetite at all, and took two more sips of tea, only to find that there was only a slight taste of tea, and there were still a lot of broken leaves floating on the water surface, sticking to the tip of the tongue and teeth, which was very uncomfortable.

"I'm full." Rourou wanted to put the remaining half of the bun on the table, but after thinking about it, she still put it in her arms.Who knows what she will encounter next?In the event that the mountains and rivers are at the end of the mountain and they can't even eat such unpalatable steamed buns, having half of these steamed stuffed buns to satisfy their hunger is better than nothing.

The leader of the dark guard saw her actions, he was startled for a moment, felt that every gentle move was always beyond his expectations, but in his eyes, she was still just a prisoner, so he didn't care about her, and took care of her. He took out dozens of copper plates, put them on the table, and said, "Let's go!"

Hearing this, Lu Ce stood up leisurely, shaking the dregs on his clothes, Wen Rou realized that he had eaten all the buns without a sound, a faint smile appeared on his lips, seeing Although Lu Ce is used to being pampered, he is not too picky, but he feels a little guilty. If it is not because of her, he would not have to suffer such a hardship.

The two got into the carriage again, and they didn't speak to each other again. When the carriage continued to move forward for a while, and the sound of rolling wheels and the clattering of horses' hoofs could be heard in the ears, Lu Ce took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve. , before it was opened, a sweet smell of meat filled the car.

Wen Rou was slightly surprised, knowing that this package was for food, she couldn't help but ask nonsense, "What is this?"

"Eat." Lu Ce smiled slightly, opened the oiled paper bag, revealing a steaming chicken inside, tore off a chicken leg, handed it to Wenrou, and said in a low voice, "Eat quickly, don't let them find out .”

"Uh—" Ruan Wen swallowed her saliva. Although she wanted to eat it very much, she still asked, "Where did it come from?" No matter how powerful Lu Ce was, he was not at the level of a prophet, right?It was impossible to hide food on the body in advance, let alone this roast chicken is still hot...

"Give it to the old man who runs the teahouse." Lu Ce said this in a tone as if he was ordering food in a restaurant, and it was natural for them to serve him calmly. Then he tore off a chicken wing and ate it slowly. up.

Is it because he is handsome and has a special temperament when he eats?Even when eating chicken wings, which is easy to look indecent, Lu Ce's movements are still as graceful as ever.

Gentleness is a person who knows everything, so of course he didn't ask stupid questions like why the old man gave Lu Ce the roast chicken, or when he gave it, and why she didn't see it.She just stared at Lu Ce intently, admiring her so much that even if she was killed, she would not be able to eat chicken wings so gracefully.

After sighing, she gave up on herself and took a hard bite on the chicken leg, and said vaguely: "If those people outside know that we stole roast chicken in the car, they will definitely die of anger."

After saying this, she herself felt a childish prank, and couldn't help laughing out loud.At this time, she is completely resigned to her fate. It is a day to be worried, and it is also a day not to be worried. Why bother to worry about things that she cannot change and control?God knows how long she can be with Lu Ce, but on the way to the capital, she simply decided to throw away all the burdens in her heart and live a more carefree life.

Lu Ce glanced at her, seemed to have sensed her thoughts, smiled slightly, nodded seriously, and said, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. In order not to piss them off, we still Hurry up and finish eating this chicken, and destroy the corpse." Then, he stretched out his hand and tore off a chicken leg, and handed it to Wen Rou.

What a cold joke!
Gentleness couldn't hold back, her body trembled slightly, but the oil on the nose was rubbed by the chicken leg.Before she had time to wipe it off, she saw Lu Ce reach out his hand naturally, and gently wiped the tip of her nose twice with the back of his hand.

Uh, I accidentally blushed again.

Gentle lowered her head, staring at the half-eaten chicken leg in her hand, suddenly felt an ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage.Of course, there is also the aroma of roast chicken.
