Chapter 186 Uninvited Guest
Chapter 186 Uninvited Guest
There was the sound of water outside the tent.
Xia Chan lay in the quilt at the inside of the tent, listening to the sound of water and checking the things that had been confiscated today.
She found a night-shining pearl from a pile of gold, silver and jewelry.
It's the kind that really glows at night.
Xia Chan placed the night pearl in the tent and turned off the flashlight in his hand, and the tent was also bright.
Looking at the gentle light that was not dazzling but did not affect her vision at all, Xia Chan thought to herself that after she arrived in Chang'an and entered Yuan Che's treasury, she would pick up more night pearls to take back.
When the time comes, I will put one in each room for grandma, mom, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and others.
This way you don't have to light candles or use flashlights at night.
Xia Chan thought this was a good idea.
The sound of water outside stopped. She rolled over with the quilt in her arms, with her back facing the tent door.
Xie Lin opened the door of the tent and a tall figure came in.
As soon as he came in, his aura filled the entire tent.
Even if Xia Chan wanted to pretend to be asleep, he couldn't.
A big hand was placed on her shoulder, and she fell into the embrace with some moisture.
"Chanchan, are you asleep?"
While talking, the hand on her waist did not forget to move around.
Xia Chan shuddered all over.
She turned around and glared at him: "Don't you know I'm not asleep?"
If he knew she was asleep, his hands wouldn't have done that.
Xie Lin was exposed and smiled shyly: "Chan Chan, are you tired?"
"..."
Between husband and wife, if the man asks you if you are tired before going to bed at night, then he must have other plans next.
Are summer cicadas tired?
Not tired at all.
She just knew that she would be tired at night.
The night pearls in the tent were covered by her nightgown, blocking the light they emitted.
The moon in the sky illuminates the earth like white porridge.
In this silent forest, there is a small tent, from which can be heard from time to time some sounds that make people blush and their hearts beat faster, and even the moon can't help but hide in the clouds.
The noise continued into the second half of the night.
Xia Chan, the person involved, had no idea when it stopped.
Because she was really tired and fell asleep.
The next day, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a carriage.
Summer Cicada: ???
"Third brother?"
Puzzled, she pulled back the quilt, sat up, and called out softly.
Xie Lin, who was driving the carriage, heard the noise and lifted the carriage curtain with a smile.
"The cicada has woken up."
"Huh? Why are we in a carriage?"
She sat up and straightened her clothes before walking out and sitting down next to Xie Lin.
Looking at the scenery on both sides, she estimated that it was probably afternoon and couldn't help yawning.
This night was too indulgent. It had little impact on Xie Lin, but it had a huge impact on her!
So, she didn't even know when Xie Lin changed the carriage.
She was drowsy in the morning. When she heard Xie Lin asking her to put away her things, she opened her eyes, took a look, put the things into the space, and then fell asleep again.
She thought it was a dream.
Didn't expect it to be true?
Xie Lin replied softly: "The carriage is more comfortable. My legs hurt when I ride a horse."
Moreover, riding a horse would expose one to the sun and wind, and Xie Lin couldn't bear to see Xia Chan suffer like that.
Anyway, they were not short of money, so they just got a carriage and slowly drove towards Chang'an City.
Xia Chan clicked her tongue twice after hearing this, and looked at the man beside her with a smile: "Brother is so considerate, are you worried that my legs are weak?"
"Cicada..."
Xie Lin's earlobes turned red again.
Xia Chan was very happy and laughed while leaning on his shoulder.
She sat on the small chair beside him, took out some dried fruits from the space, and chatted with Xie Lin while biting them.
Looking at the scenery around me and feeling the breeze, I feel really comfortable.
It would be great if life could always be this peaceful.
However, due to her special status, it is very difficult for Xia Chan to live a peaceful life as she wishes.
They walked forward for a distance and when they passed a forest, Xia Chan's head suddenly started to hurt again.
She put her hands to her head.
The dried fruit in his hand disappeared, replaced by a few silver needles.
The silver needle pierced his head, and the pain that spread out again and again was finally relieved a little.
"Cicada?"
Xie Lin noticed something was wrong when her expression suddenly changed.
While on guard, he kept an eye on her situation.
"I am fine."
Xia Chan raised her hand, telling Xie Lin not to worry too much about her: "They are coming."
"Ok?"
Xie Lin looked around.
In the woods, a barefoot girl wearing Miao costume walked out.
She had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes swept across Xie Lin's face and fell on Xia Chan's face.
If it were before, Xia Chan would definitely not know who this was.
But now that Xia Chan has recovered his memory, he naturally knows who is in front of him.
Wei Hua.
This is a woman from southern Xinjiang who lives at the foot of the mountain where the cult is located. She is about the same age as Xia Chan. They have known each other since childhood.
But the relationship has never been good.
Xia Chan used to be a cold-hearted person. Although Wei Hua seems to be smiling, her heart is just as vicious as Xia Chan's.
But don't be fooled by her smiling expression.
"Sister, this is your man? I heard from the bishop that you betrayed Southern Xinjiang and the Divine Religion for him, right?"
Wei Hua paused for a moment, the smile on her lips widening: "Sister Chan, this is not right!"
A slight smile also appeared on Xia Chan's lips.
"We grew up together, and you know what I hate most is when people say I'm wrong."
"Sister Chan?"
Wei Hua was obviously stunned for a moment.
Come to think of it, the summer cicadas in the past were very different from those now.
In the past, no matter how Wei Hua talked to Xia Chan, she would ignore her, but now she spoke up and answered.
And smiled.
Would this not surprise Wei Hua?
The expression on her face was too obvious.
"Sister Chan? What are you doing?"
"Do you think I've changed?"
Xia Chan raised his eyebrows slightly. On the ground around the carriage, there were several insects that appeared from nowhere and died nearby.
Xia Chan stretched out her hand, and a tiny insect crawled onto her fingertips, acting stupidly and not biting her.
She chuckled.
"Wei Hua, I remember I told you annoying bugs to stay away from me."
When Wei Hua appeared, Xia Chan felt the change in the smell around her, and she knew that she must have released the nasty poisonous insect.
However, those poisonous insects had no chance to get close to her.
Because she sprinkled the powder and poisoned the poisonous insects to death.
Wei Hua was stunned and then burst into laughter.
"Sister Cicada, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let these little cuties come and say hello to you. Aren't you welcoming them?"
