Gulan looked at the silver bills in her hand. Some of them were worth hundreds or thousands of taels. It was indeed a lot of money. She hesitated for a long time, glanced at someone who was eating porridge and felt his determination. Finally, she decided to accept it. Okay, at most, I can make more delicious food on the way so that he can recover soon. After thinking this through, Gulan sat in the cart and waited.
I don't know what kind of family he was raised in. Although he was injured, his back was still straight. His elegant manners seemed to be engraved in his bones, showing his dignified and noble temperament everywhere. In addition, his extraordinary appearance made people who saw him have a visual enjoyment. Gulan was fascinated by it unconsciously. Fortunately, it was only a moment, and he quickly looked away.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. No wonder there were kings in ancient times who neglected government affairs because of beauty in their arms. She was charming and warm. Who could refuse such a beautiful woman who was so beautiful that she could overwhelm the country? Of course, the person in front of her was not a beauty, but it was indeed very powerful.
Fortunately, Gulan looked away in time, otherwise Xiang Yunjin would not be able to resist throwing the bowl in his hand to Gulan's face. No one has ever dared to look at him so directly, mainly because he felt that his gaze was a little too hot for a moment. He was a man, although he was also extremely disgusted by women looking at him like this.
Considering that he was his savior and he was injured and needed care, Xiang Yunjin said that he would tolerate it this time, but if there was a next time, he would definitely not tolerate it. He finished a bowl of porridge in a seemingly elegant but not slow pace.
"Do you want more?" Gulan took the bowl, her eyes had returned to calm.
Xiang Yunjin shook his head, "Can you lend me a set of clothes?" His eyes looked at the exposed arms.
Gulan paused as she stood up and turned back, "Yes, but I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
Xiang Yunjin smiled, "No, I'm grateful for having clothes to cover my body."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll put the bowl out." She got off the cart and the bowl was taken by Daya. After a few words of worry, she got on the cart again. After getting on the cart, Gulan slowly moved into the cart, almost brushing past Xiang Yunjin's body to take down the package on the grain bag.
It was that faint fragrance again, Xiang Yunjin smelled it again. If Gulan knew, she would definitely tell him that it was not a fragrance but the smell of soap, because she had secretly entered the space to take a bath before.
After getting the package, Gulan quickly pulled out a set of clothes from it. Fortunately, men's clothes are spacious, and this man is not fat, so he should be able to wear it.
"Here, the length may not be suitable, just make do with it for now."
"It's okay," Xiang Yunjin took it. It was very clean and there was a smell of the sun, which was rare in this environment, so Xiang Yunjin was relieved.
"Okay, you change. I'll be outside. If you need anything, just call me."
"Thank you."
Gulan smiled and got out of the cart.
The curtain fell, and Xiang Yunjin moved carefully. Although the wound on his back avoided the vital parts, it was also a serious injury. There was also one on his abdomen. Xiang Yunjin gritted his teeth and held back the slight "hum" that he wanted to make. It was the first time in his life that he felt so embarrassed. A cold light flashed across his eyes. He moved himself to put on his clothes. Perhaps because he had never worn clothes made of this kind of fabric, the friction on his skin was very uncomfortable, but it was clean and within the tolerable range. He put on the brocade boots standing beside him, and everything went on. He moved himself to the front of the cart and lifted the curtain.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the movement, Gulan stepped forward.
"I'm sorry to bother you, benefactor. I want to go to the bathroom."
Gulan: "..."
I didn't expect it to be this problem. It was indeed her negligence. She didn't realize that the person who wanted to go to the bathroom was of a different gender from her. After pretending to be a man for a long time, Gulan almost thought that she was a man.
"I'll support you, and you can just call me Gulan. It's too awkward to call me benefactor." Gulan took a step forward and supported the man's intact arm.
"In that case, I won't be polite. Then, benefactor, no, brother Gu, don't call me young master. Since the word Jin is written on the jade pendant, just call me Jin."
"Okay, then Brother Jin." It's just a title, Gulan has no objection.
"Slower." With the help of Gulan, Xiang Yunjin, who was weak, endured the great pain in his body and got off the cart.
The two slowly moved to a remote place. It was not until they stood behind a tree and Xiang Yunjin lifted up his clothes that Gulan, who was staring at him in a daze, seemed to suddenly react. Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly turned her face away. Fortunately, the night was dark and the redness on her face was difficult to detect.
Xiang Yunjin didn't notice it. They were all men, and there was nothing to be shy about.
After a burst of "clattering" sounds, Gulan's face became even redder. As far as she could remember, she didn't even serve her scumbag ex-husband like this.
"Okay." The slightly cold voice brought Gulan, who rarely blushed, back to her senses. She turned her face and helped Xiang Yunjin back to the carriage. At this moment, almost everyone had rested, so no one noticed them, including the Li family who were connected together.
With the help of Gulan, Xiang Yunjin got on the carriage. He wanted to stand under the carriage for a while, but reality did not allow it. With his current physical strength, he could not support it at all.
Perhaps because she received money, Gulan generously took another quilt and put it on the dry grass before Xiang Yunjin lay down, and then pulled out the bedding they needed to rest, and then helped Xiang Yunjin lie down, and considerately put a bowl of water in the carriage.
Looking at the three little ones sitting in front of the tree in a sleepy state, Gulan suddenly realized that it was already late. She quickly took the bedding and sent Daya and Erya to Aunt Li, and then took out the wooden planks that she didn't know where she picked up from next to the carriage to make a simple wooden bed, and hugged her son to sleep, and Dahei was still lying next to his master.
AnAn was actually sleepy a long time ago. It was not easy to hold on until now. He fell asleep in his mother's arms in just a moment. Patting her son's back slowly, Gulan was not sleepy for a while, thinking about the strange man.vIt was certain that he was not an ordinary person. Whether it was his clothes, money, or the noble temperament he exuded inadvertently, they all reminded Gulan. He also had sharp wounds on his body, and his appearance was too ostentatious. If it was really an accident, it would be fine. If it was an assassination or revenge killing, it would not be too fast. It seemed like saving a hot potato.
And Gulan always had a feeling that he didn't look like a person who had lost his memory. Except for the initial panic, his mind was too rational, but the person had been brought back by her, and it was too late to regret it.
The money had been collected, and it was impossible to return it. The most important thing was that Gulan didn't want to return it. I hope he can recover tomorrow morning, but whether he really lost his memory or not, Gulan felt that he should not be taken lightly.
Fortunately, the wound was hidden in the clothes, but his appearance was too ostentatious. If someone really wanted to harm him, it would be a sure thing. It's okay to be kind, but you can't put yourself, your son, and the people of Lijia Village in danger. Gulan immediately had an idea in her mind. No matter whether he agreed or not tomorrow, she had to help him disguise himself. And she was quite good at makeup, so it was not difficult. Everything would wait until tomorrow. Gulan looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, wrapped herself and her son tightly with the quilt, and closed her eyes.
Unlike the violent storm last night, tonight is bright and starry, and tomorrow will be a good day. After a dreamless night, Gulan woke up on time before dawn. She carefully tucked in the quilt for her son, put on a refined coat, and got up. She glanced at the cart and saw no movement, thinking it was still resting.
As Gulan got up, the Li brothers and their son, as well as the young and middle-aged people in Lijia Village, also woke up one after another.
