The team entered the village and alarmed the village chief.

The clothes and badges on the bodyguards made the village head respectful, and Si Qinglian didn't need to reveal her identity. She asked the bodyguards to send a message to seal off the village and inform them about the puppet.

The villagers were ignorant, and they didn't know whether it was true or not. They obediently followed the orders, blocked the roads around the village with various wooden tables and chairs, and then used simple fences to cross the intersection.

Song Yuhang asked the village chief to find a nanny. A woman in the village happened to have a child who died a few days ago. The husband and wife had a quarrel because of this. In the end, the husband simply kicked the wife out of the house and now lives in her natal home.

The village head called the woman.

The woman was in her early twenties, and there were still bruises on her face that hadn't faded. Xia Ningle questioned her and found out that the woman was actually beaten by her husband. As for the child, the husband wanted to sell it for some money because of the daughter she gave birth to. The woman didn't want to, and the two quarreled endlessly. The husband who lost his mind directly dropped the child to death, and the woman fled back to her natal family in despair. People live in the firewood house of the neighbor's house, and help the neighbor feed the chickens and ducks and cook.

After the husband was reprimanded, the village chief advised the woman several times to continue to follow her husband, to marry and follow her husband, and to have another child if the child was gone.

"This kind of person really doesn't deserve to live." Xia Ningle was anxious. What happened to the woman reminded her of her own family, but she was a little luckier than the woman, and was born in a society with a sound legal system.

Si Qinglian glanced at Xia Ningle, she seemed to have thought for a while, and whispered a few words to the guard, who nodded and stepped back calmly.

For the woman's experience, Xia Ningle also sympathized, afraid that if she said too much, she would expose people's scars. After all, her own daughter died not so quickly to get out of grief.

"You will follow us from now on and take care of Yu'er. Food and clothing will be arranged after returning to Northern Xinjiang. In short, you won't be treated badly. Are you willing?" Xia Ningle gestured to the child in her arms.

The woman nodded without hesitation.

Xia Ningle then carried Yu'er to the woman behind the screen to breastfeed. The woman's milk was full and full. After losing her child, she felt so uncomfortable that she milked herself for two days, so the milk did not stop.

Perhaps it was because of the loss of her daughter. When the woman took care of Yu'er and changed her diapers, her eyes could not hide her love. Xia Ning was happy to see that this man was careful and had experience in raising children, so she was relieved to hand over Yu'er to him. she.

Si Qinglian gave the village chief some banknotes. Logically speaking, money is just a burden in the last days, but the villagers did not believe that there was a corpse puppet, and because of the evil spirit of the guards, they had no choice but to obey orders and seal off the village. If they don't give the banknotes, Si Qinglian and his party will be bullying officials in their eyes, and they will come here to eat the overlord's meal.

Si Qinglian was too lazy to waste his time talking, so he just gave the money and asked the village chief to prepare food, but only vegetarian food, chicken and duck as meat, and it had to be roasted. After roasting, someone had to try it. People are not guards, and Xia Ningle doesn't know who it is.

It takes a little time to try meat, so everyone only eats vegetarian food and drinks soup. Afterwards, the roasted chicken and duck will be eaten on the road. Everyone has not eaten for a long time, and they eat in a hurry, which is unsightly, but no one pays attention to others at the moment eating phase.

Except Xia Ningle.

At any time, Si Qinglian is calm and elegant. Even if she is very hungry, she will drink a spoonful of soup slowly. She can't even care about etiquette in the four seasons and is always gobbling, but this person can still eat leisurely. Xia Ningle I also admire it.

The village chief and the villagers on the side were all dumbfounded. The food was eaten one after another, and the kitchen staff had no time to cook it. If it wasn't for the money given by the beautiful woman, the village chief would have thought that these people were The robber is gone.

Xia Ningle smiled and said, "Please trouble the village chief to prepare some dry food for us tomorrow morning, the more the better."

"Ok, no problem."

It was rare to have a full meal, and everyone didn't dare to relax after eating. They took turns to rest. The village head arranged a small inn, enough for dozens of people to live. Si Qinglian left four people to patrol outside the village, and ordered the four to guard Don't get down from the tree.

Xia Ningle asked the village chief to prepare hot water. She felt very itchy after not taking a bath for a long time. Si Qinglian and her thought of a meeting, and asked someone to prepare hot water. The two went back to their rooms to take a bath.

Yu'er was left to the nanny to take care of her alone, and it was rare for Xia Ningle to sleep in a room by herself. After taking a bath, she lay on the bed stretched out, and all the bones in her body made crisp sounds.

Although Xia Ningle was exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep for a while. She was still worried about what to do in Beijiang, and sorted out the information about the corpse puppets in her mind. She didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

On the other side, Si Qinglian tossed and turned on the bed, always feeling that the bed was tight and uncomfortable no matter how much she slept, even though there were two quilts under the bed, it was still uncomfortable, and the surrounding air still had a musty smell.

My heart is also empty.

Unable to fall asleep, she simply got up, put on a coat, and went to the next room. With a light push, the door opened. Obviously, Xia Ningle didn't know how to guard against people when she was sleeping, and didn't even latch the door.

Si Qinglian slammed the door with his backhand.

The moment he saw Xia Ningle, his empty heart suddenly returned to normal. Xia Ningle heard the sound and opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing Si Qinglian's face right in front of him, he thought it was a dream , murmured: "It's so beautiful."

"What did you say?" Si Qinglian approached.

Xia Ningle woke up suddenly, sat up, frowned and thought: "What? What did I just say?"

Si Qinglian shook his head: "I didn't hear clearly either."

Her eyes have good night vision, and she clearly saw the whiteness exposed on Xia Ningle's somewhat messy underwear, and her attention was fixed here for some reason.

Xia Ningle touched his forehead, always felt that his head was a lot dull, maybe it was because he was woken up just after falling asleep in the middle of the night: "Your Highness, can't you sleep?"

"Well, I can't sleep." Si Qinglian didn't think it was inappropriate to come here, and he didn't like to hide it, "Can I sleep with Miss Xia?"

"Um...of course."

Xia Ningle stepped back, and Si Qinglian lay down. It wasn't the first time the two slept together like this. Perhaps it was because of the experience of the previous two times that they didn't feel uncomfortable lying together Si Qinglian felt that the bed was no longer uncomfortable, and the people around her were also very pleasant.

"Miss Xia, please come closer." Si Qinglian found that Xia Ningle was huddling herself in the corner of the bed. It was the same way last time. Si Qinglian couldn't figure it out, but she had already shown that she regarded Xia Ningle as herself People, even closer people, why is the other party so afraid of me and stay away from me.

"No, I'm comfortable sleeping like this."

Is it comfortable?

Si Qinglian didn't think sleeping in such a small place would be comfortable. In the final analysis, the other party was afraid of him and was on guard against him. Thinking of this, Si Qinglian felt unhappy. She deliberately leaned into the bed, and Xia Ningle Shrunk even tighter.

Xia Ningle has already shrunk to the point where she can't shrink, unless she knows how to shrink bones and folded herself into a quilt and put it in the corner. Fortunately, Si Qinglian didn't move anymore. While she was relieved, she felt that this sleeping position was uncomfortable , there is not even a place to turn around.

Xia Ningle knew her own sleeping posture, so it was hard to say how good it was, so it was really difficult for her to stay in a motionless sleeping position. After a while, it was really uncomfortable, so she pulled her body out Little by little, lying flat.

It's just that the shoulders of the two inevitably touched each other, Xia Ningle was a little nervous, but she relaxed a little after seeing what Si Qinglian said.

In the darkness, Xia Ningle did not see the smile on the corner of Si Qinglian's mouth. This smile, more teasing, was the only way to relax in the last days.

"Is Your Highness asleep?" Xia Ningle asked softly.

"No, Miss Xia, why don't you sing some music and listen to it."

Xia Ningle did not refuse, and hummed softly. The faint tune echoed in the silent room. Si Qinglian, who was still in high spirits, quickly closed his eyes. For an unknown amount of time, Xia Ningle squinted his eyes and looked at it. The other party breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her sleeping soundly.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Xia Ningle felt that Si Qinglian seemed to be clinging to her, just like tonight, she always felt that there were countless nights like this waiting, together with this thought, Xia Ningle hurriedly shook her head, secretly saying that it was impossible, Si Qinglian always She is a decisive woman, she doesn't like to be pursued by someone, and she doesn't like to cling to someone.

Suddenly, Xia Ningle was also tired.

She closed her eyes and went to sleep peacefully. When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn, and in a daze, she only felt that she was hugging a soft quilt. This quilt also had a special fragrance, the fragrance of lilies.

"woke up."

Xia Ningle blinked, and then remembered that Si Qinglian slept next to her last night, and realized that her hands and feet were still tightly hugging Si Qinglian, and the faint warmth of the person in her arms It came through the thin fabric, and all I could see was the jet-black hair and fair neck.

Her heart was beating violently, and she didn't know if it was fright or something else, Xia Ningle let go of her hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I usually don't sleep well, and I didn't intend to offend Your Highness."

Xia Ningle clenched her fists. In fact, for a moment just now, she really wanted to hug Si Qinglian and not let go, but the thought was fleeting, and she clearly knew that she couldn't and couldn't do that.

"It's okay, did you sleep well last night?"

It was the first time that Si Qinglian stayed in bed and didn't get up in a hurry. Xia Ning was happy to see the other party not moving, so naturally he didn't dare to move, so he could only vaguely reply that he had slept well. Si Qinglian said a few more words, and then slowly Tun Tun got up.

Originally, Chun'er wanted to comb Si Qinglian's hair, but now Si Qinglian wanted Xia Ningle to comb her hair. Xia Ningle was quite envious. She combed the simplest low ponytail and tied it behind Si Qinglian's neck, which made Si Qinglian feel charming and mature a lot.
