Tenderness like water

There wasn't much meat from the two rabbits, so Dongfang Xu and Yang Lan ate up a piece of pancake.

Although Yang Lan went out with an empty plate, the woman waiting at the door stretched out her hand to take it, this time Yang Lan was not pretentious, just handed it over, and the woman took it and washed it before putting it away.

When Yang Lan returned to the carriage, Dongfang Xu was lying on the felt blanket, with one hand resting between his waist and abdomen, and the other leaning behind his head, looking very leisurely and relaxed.

"Dongfang, do you want to sleep for a while?" Yang Lan closed the door, and just saw Dongfang Xu half-opened his eyes, sitting cross-legged half a step away from Dongfang Xu, "Drink some water with a light taste."

Dongfang Xu didn't even get up, just took a sip of water in this position, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep--going out, after all, he was not as comfortable as at home, and he could only make do with food and shelter, "What is your team?" Where are you going?"

Just when Yang Lan thought Dongfang Xu had fallen asleep, he suddenly heard his voice.

"I'm going to Saibei, but I don't enter the customs, I just trade with people in a small town over there. This time my younger brother Yang Lian is leading the team, I'm just taking a look along the way." Actually Yang Lan didn't know about the caravan, he He didn't intend to make it too clear, he didn't intend to interfere with the things at home, and he wanted to leave everything to his younger brother.

Speaking of which, he only called his younger brother every day, the elders in the family called "Lian'er", and the servants also called him the second young master. Now Yang Lan only knows that his younger brother's name has the word "Lian" in it.

Thinking that his name is a single character, Yang Lan took it for granted that his younger brother was called Yang Lian. Originally, he thought the word "Lian" was a bit feminine, but Yang Lan heard from his grandfather that this word was taken from the lotus in the back mountain. Isn't it just for picking lotus flowers and falling into the water?

With this explanation, Yang Lan didn't ask any more questions, so that she still doesn't know Yang Lianting's full name.

"By the way... are you going to the north?" Dongfang Xu talked to Yang Lan with drooping eyes, looking very relaxed, but in fact, he clenched his fists secretly when Yang Lan couldn't see it.

I can go to the north when I have time, but I can't give him a message.

After all, it's full of gibberish.

"I originally wanted to go to the north to see you. That's where I met you. Maybe... I could meet you." Yang Lan took the empty teacup from Dongfang Xu and put it down. However, there is only so much space in the carriage. After lying down, Yang Lan could only sit down across the small table.

Yang Lan looked at the small table in the middle, but finally couldn't hold back and reached out to move it away.

This small table is for storing things, not inlaid on the carriage, Yang Lan lifted it up with a little force, and then put it in the corner.

There was a lot of movement during the period, Dongfang Xu opened his eyes and looked over, and found that it was Yang Lan who closed his eyes after making trouble.

Wasn't it the same when he was recovering from his injuries in Qijia Village? He was lying on the bed and Yang Lan was doing things in the room. He didn't know what things could be arranged in a small bedroom for him to tidy up for half a day.

When Yang Lan was waiting for Xiaoji, he was lying in the middle, and Dongfang Xu didn't speak, but moved his body slightly.He hasn't been in such close contact with people for a long time, and he can't adapt to it.

Yang Lan pretended not to see Dongfang Xu's movements, and followed his example, closing her eyes and going to sleep.

The two of them lay like this for about half an hour, when there was a sudden commotion outside, Yang Lan sat up instantly and opened the curtain to look out.

It turned out that it was time for repairs, and the people in the caravan began to pack their things and prepare to go on the road.There are many people in the caravan, and it is inevitable that the sound will be noisy when they move.

Yang Lan followed Yang Lianting to the side, but his mind was on the man in the carriage. The convoy was about to leave, but he didn't find out where they were going from Dongfang Xu's mouth.

However, from the direction they came from, it can be seen that the possibility of being able to go the same way is very small.

"I'll go tell Dongfang and leave. If I come out late, you can leave me a horse, and I will catch up later." There are still many people in the team walking, if only Yang Lan is alone, ride a horse Can catch up quickly.

"Okay." Although Yang Lianting didn't want to be separated from his brother, he couldn't lose his manners in front of outsiders, so he had to go back to the motorcade and start making arrangements.

After Yang Lan and Yang Lianting finished talking, they went back to the carriage. Dongfang Xu had already changed his posture and was ready.

"Dongfang, did I wake you up?" Dongfang Xu didn't move when Yang Lan got out of the carriage. He thought it was the noise of getting on and off the carriage that disturbed everyone.

"It's nothing." Dongfang Xu didn't correct Yang Lan's thinking, just nodded, and then closed the belt that was a little loose due to the change of posture, "Is the caravan leaving?"

Dongfang Xu didn't fall asleep just now, so he naturally heard the commotion outside, plus Yang Lan's trip down, it's not difficult to guess the movement of the caravan - it's about to set off.

"Yeah, do you want Dongfang to go to the small towns in the north with us? The scenery outside the Great Wall is also infinitely good." Yang Lan actually just mentioned it casually. He didn't think Dongfang would go with him. The reason why he asked this question was, I just want to find out where Dongfang is going, and when he returns from Saibei, he can find it all the way there.

"Okay." The expression on Dongfang Xu's face did not change at all, but his lips moved slightly to say two words.

Yang Lan couldn't believe what she heard. This is... agreeing to go with him?

"Dongfang, you want to go to Saibei too?" Yang Lan swallowed the manuscript that he had already written, and he couldn't say what he had planned, but he was indeed in a better mood.

He was happy even when things were unexpected.Did Dongfang deliberately change the itinerary for him?

After getting the right words from Dongfang Xu, Yang Lan got off the carriage and went to the caravan, telling Anping that the carriage would walk slowly behind the caravan—Yang Lan knew that Dongfang Xu would not directly join the caravan, so he just said They will follow.

Anping already knew from the second young master that the carriage was Yang Lan's friend, and he didn't mind this kind of "hitchhiking" behavior, and he also learned from his deputy about the skills of the two people guarding the carriage. I will not refuse.

Although they are familiar with this road, who can guarantee that they will not encounter any refugees and bandits?

Anping said a few more words to Yang Lan, wanting Dongfang Xu's carriage and the caravan to be together, but Yang Lan directly refused, "Dongfang likes to be quiet, there are too many people in the caravan, I will walk behind with him , It’s enough to check the destination once before each departure.”

The implication is that he will follow the carriage behind.

Anping got a letter from Yang Lan, went down to make some arrangements, and told Yang Lan where they would stay next, and then took the convoy one step ahead.

Yang Lan wrote down the name of the place Anping told him, then watched the leader of the convoy start, and then slowly returned to Dongfang Xu's carriage.

"Dongfang, the next destination of the convoy is Pingcheng." Yang Lan opened the curtain and got on the carriage, "Riding outside is tiring, how about I rub your carriage?"

When Yang Lan got into the carriage, Dongfang Xu's two subordinates also looked over. It was the first time they saw someone being so presumptuous in front of their master.

If he was still teaching, this person would have died at the bottom of the cliff long ago, right?

However, in the carriage, it was not as serious as the two of them imagined. Yang Lan was not greeted with a silver needle by Dongfang Xu after getting up, but only received a knife in the eye.

But Yang Lan didn't know how much he suffered when he was in Qijia Village, and he was used to things like eye knives. Now he is thick-skinned enough to ignore them.

It's not that Dongfang Xu was unwilling to take a carriage with Yang Lan. After seeing that guy with a face like a city wall coming up, he found a place to nest comfortably. He even opened a hidden compartment and threw a cushion next to him. Passed over, then knocked on the wall of the car, "Go to Pingcheng."

"Yes." The two people outside the car heard Dongfang Xu's voice, and quickly answered yes.

At this time, the people in the caravan had already walked a certain distance, the man sat on the shaft of the carriage, and the carriage started to move with a wave of his whip.
