Chapter 391 Journey
Chapter 391 Journey
They hurried all the way, and when it was time to rest, Shu Xiaoxiao held her waist with difficulty and reluctantly got off the horse with the help of Zhenzhu. If it weren't for her image, she would have held her buttocks and even wanted to rub it without caring about her image. After riding a horse for a whole morning, her buttocks really couldn't bear it!
It feels good to ride a horse occasionally, but it is really unbearable to ride for several hours at a time. Not only my buttocks, but also the sides of my thighs are swollen, and it feels hot and painful. Summer clothes are already thin, and the saddle makes it even more painful.
"Young Master, are you...are you okay? Let me help you rest for a while!" Although Zhenzhu felt a little uncomfortable, she could bear it. She never slacked off in her martial arts practice. She felt that she should be able to adapt to this level of traveling in the next two days, but seeing the young master like this, it seemed a little difficult!
"No...it's okay. Help me to the carriage first. I should be fine after lying inside for a while." Shu Xiaoxiao tried her best to maintain her expression. If she grinned just because she learned how to ride a horse, it would be a bit embarrassing with so many people watching.
They brought two carriages this time, one was filled with food, and the other was prepared for Shu Xiaoxiao to rest in. Shu Xiaoxiao, who had walked a long way, did not refuse at all. She was worried that someone would dislike her for being too pampered.
It turned out that this group of people were all Yun Qinghan's personal guards, and their main requirement was absolute obedience. As long as Yun Qinghan didn't say anything, they would have no problem even asking them to carry Shu Xiaoxiao, but Shu Xiaoxiao didn't want to trouble others too much.
But after all, they were doing serious work, and Shu Xiaoxiao was already very satisfied to have a carriage. Even though the journey was uncomfortable, she endured it. Now that she had stopped, she felt relieved.
As for sitting on the side of the road to rest, forget it. She has packed up comfortably in the carriage. Wouldn't it be better to lie down inside?
Yun Qinghan was also worried when he saw her like this: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you take a ride in the carriage this afternoon? We can just walk slowly."
The location is already known, and he has already sent people to investigate in advance. It would be fine if they go slower and give his junior brothers a few days to adapt.
It was also his fault for not thinking it through. He was used to riding horses and forgot that it would take some time for someone like his junior brother to adapt, otherwise his body really couldn't bear it. Only after riding for a long time did calluses appear on his thighs and hands. Not to mention riding for a long time, he would have no problem riding for several days in a row!
When Shu Xiaoxiao heard that calluses had to be formed on her thighs and the hands holding the reins, she felt like her whole body was about to break. Before, they followed the escort agency to Kyoto. In addition to carrying things, the escort agency also brought a lot of people with them, and the speed was very slow. Shu Xiaoxiao was in the carriage, and it was at most boring, but not that uncomfortable. She didn't expect that she would feel so painful when she was on a serious journey.
He waved his hands while trying to hold himself together: "It's okay, I... I am a martial artist after all, so I won't be unable to bear it. I'll let Zhenzhu give me some medicine and massage. Brother, you should know the effect of the medicine I made! I'm sure there will be no problem."
Shu Xiaoxiao said firmly that she had agreed to this trip herself, and now that she was here she must not hold back. For some reason, Shenbao was practicing harder and harder, and was even in a state of anxiety. Shu Xiaoxiao came here, said hello to Shenbao, and did not dare to disturb him.
It really doesn't work...
Shu Xiaoxiao thought of Dabai. Not only does a tiger run faster than a horse, but it is also less bumpy. If Dabai comes, wouldn't it be much more comfortable for her to ride on Dabai and wait for them in front?
It's only half a day's journey for them. Dabai will definitely be able to come here after receiving the news! It just so happens that Dabai is quite bored on the mountain all day, so he can take it for a walk. Dabai might even be looking forward to it.
As a result, before Shu Xiaoxiao could get up to contact Dabai, she saw Yun Qinghan who had also entered the carriage. She watched Zhenzhu being driven off the carriage, and Shu Xiaoxiao did not dare to stop him.
Yun Qinghan straightened his sleeves and said, "The medicine made by Junior Brother is naturally effective. Take off your clothes first. I will take a look at your wound and apply some medicine first. Otherwise, how can you travel in the afternoon?"
Shu Xiaoxiao:...............
Take off your clothes? Look what you are talking about?
Shu Xiaoxiao used all her concentration to prevent a look of fear from appearing on her face, and she also used a lot of effort not to pick up the thin blanket next to her and cover herself with it. Haha, looking at her senior brother, she felt like wanting to use the blanket to protect herself.
Shu Xiaoxiao tried to sit up straight and said as normally as possible: "I just have a minor injury, why do I need you to apply medicine to me personally, brother?"
Yun Qinghan looked at her expression and said seriously, "What's wrong with applying medicine to our brothers? I have also applied medicine to many colleagues on the battlefield, not to mention you. After applying the medicine, you can rest well in the carriage now."
Shu Xiaoxiao: Take a deep breath and tell yourself not to panic, not to panic, and not to reveal any flaws.
"Brother, forget it now. We will leave after dinner. We can apply the medicine in the evening! Speaking of which, I am hungry too. I will go see what Brother Huo has made."
Finally, with Senior Brother Yun's insistence, he slowly and personally applied medicine to Shu Xiaoxiao's hand.
Shu Xiaoxiao's hands were not the traditional kind with slender fingers. Instead, they were fleshy and soft, without any calluses on them. They felt particularly soft. After applying the medicine, Yun Qinghan couldn't let go of them because they felt so good.
Although the whole hand is soft, it is not the kind of soft as if it has no bones. Every time you rub it, you can feel the hardness beneath the skin. It is really comfortable to touch.
Finally, Shu Xiaoxiao looked at her senior brother's big hands that could wrap around her hands and rub her hands repeatedly like toys. Seeing her senior brother's intoxicated look, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to remind him.
If it were in modern times, the senior brother would definitely like the 'slime' and 'pinching', and the sticky feel, but unfortunately they are not available now, so the senior brother can only use his own hands to satisfy his craving. But look, this is his own hand, a 'hand', not a toy, so Shu Xiaoxiao quickly indicated that her hand no longer hurt, and only then did she snatch her hand back from the senior brother's hand.
Shu Xiaoxiao took back her hand and quickly got off the carriage. She couldn't stay in here anymore. After all, she couldn't take out toys like "Slime" and "Pinch".
"Does your leg still hurt? How about I hold you?" Yun Qinghan suggested, looking at his junior brother's expression.
"No, I'm not that delicate. Brother, let's go see what we have for dinner today."
Yun Qinghan looked at Shu Xiaoxiao's persistence and said, "Okay!" Then he got off the carriage first. He had indeed gone a little too far just now. Mainly because he didn't expect that his junior brother's hands were so easy to hold!
Seeing that his junior brother was feeling embarrassed, Yun Qinghan could only wait and see if he could find an opportunity next time.
Standing beside the carriage and hearing Zhenzhu's long sigh, Yun Qinghan felt that the idea in his heart became even more firm.
Shu Xiaoxiao tried her best to take a look without the support of Zhenzhu. She saw the porridge that Huo Feng was cooking. There must be a lot of things added in it, so the taste was particularly eye-catching.
Seeing that the porridge was not ready yet, Shu Xiaoxiao asked Zhenzhu to take out the chili sauce and share it with everyone. It was obvious that this lunch was prepared to accommodate her habits, otherwise they would still be on the road, and this porridge should only be for her and the eldest senior brother. It seemed that Dabai had to come over as soon as possible, she couldn't keep falling behind like this.
The guards, who had no complaints in the first place, looked at the carriage with their eyes brightened after tasting the tempting chili sauce. They didn't expect to receive such treatment following Marquis Ye. It would be great if they could have such delicious food every time they went out. With the chili sauce, the dry food would be much more delicious.
In the past, no one would want to eat the dry food they brought with them unless they were extremely hungry. Now, with the chili sauce, it tastes even better than the food in ordinary restaurants.
Shu Xiaoxiao walked to a remote place and notified Dabai to follow her quickly through the method left by Shenbao. Then she hurried back to drink porridge. The hot porridge with chili sauce tasted really good. It was still inconvenient on the road. It would be great if there were manors or inns along the way so they could stay overnight and everyone could have something hot to eat. Now it was just her and her senior brother eating, which was quite embarrassing.
Although the others did not have the habit of eating lunch, they were all hungry after traveling for a whole morning. Three meals a day was more in line with people's eating habits, so they had no discomfort with eating. After eating, they felt more comfortable and had no pressure on the next journey.
Shu Xiaoxiao thought of Dabai who was coming soon, so she could only endure her thighs which seemed to be getting better and prepare to climb onto the horse's back.
"Junior brother, don't you have the habit of taking a lunch break? You can rest in the carriage for a while first, and it will be the same if you ride a horse later. We are all used to riding horses, so you don't need to compete with us." Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao preparing to mount the horse, Yun Qinghan hurriedly stopped her.
Although he wanted to figure out some things, he didn't want to let his junior brother suffer. There was a carriage anyway, and it would be the same for his junior brother to sit in it.
Seeing her senior brother's suggestion, Shu Xiaoxiao nodded quickly. She had prepared the carriage originally for riding, but she had planned to ride it only when she couldn't hold on any longer after walking for a few days. Who knew that the first day would be so difficult.
Now that senior brother has proposed it, there is no reason to refuse. You can be hard on others but not on your own body!
Because of the muddy road, Shu Xiaoxiao prepared several pairs of thick quilts in the carriage in advance. It was soft to lie on them. Even though the road was bumpy, Shu Xiaoxiao fell asleep in less than a while. Not only did she get up early today, but she also rode for the whole morning. She was really tired, and this little bump was nothing to her now.
Yun Qinghan was riding on the horse, thinking about the feeling just now, and he became more and more suspicious that the person he had kissed before might not be a girl, but a junior brother?
It's a pity that his junior brother seems to be intentionally distancing himself from him these past two days. Otherwise, if he were to hug him, he would be able to judge whether the person he was obsessed with was his junior brother.
He was also a little hesitant, as he was the only one in the mansion. If he fell in love with a man, what would happen to the continuation of the family's offspring? Or he could see if his father or mother had any children who could be adopted.
The mother can go to the battlefield for the father, and the father only has his mother. Maybe they will understand his feelings, and maybe his mother and father would rather see him happy!
But is this fair to his junior brother? He can give up having children, but is his junior brother willing? Is he willing to face the strange eyes of the world with him? He... is not sure!
So, even though he had guessed that the person might be his junior fellow apprentice, he had not yet confirmed it. He was worried that he would not be able to control himself and would seduce his junior fellow apprentice to be with him, because he knew that his junior fellow apprentice liked his face and his figure, although not the kind of liking he wanted.
But he thinks if he works hard, he should be able to do it?
If that person was really his junior fellow apprentice, he was worried that he would not let go, let alone watch his junior fellow apprentice get married. He was also worried that his junior fellow apprentice would hate him in the future, and he would definitely not be able to bear that. But perhaps his junior fellow apprentice had the same idea as him, so he could give it a try?
As Yun Qinghan was thinking, the group moved forward. When Shu Xiaoxiao woke up, she felt even more tired. Her hands felt much better after applying medicine, but her thighs were definitely red, so she had to apply medicine again at night.
And this carriage. I didn't notice it when I was sleeping before, but now I realize that it's shaking so hard that it's uncomfortable. Shu Xiaoxiao stretched and sat up. When she was thinking about whether to ride the horse or continue to endure the bumps, she felt like she had to go to the bathroom!
This...this...this, how could I forget about this!
Shu Xiaoxiao wanted to cry but had no tears. However, she could only stop the carriage. Not only was it not good for her health if she held it in for too long, but she also didn't know how long it would take for her to use the toilet. There was no time limit for waiting, so she might as well just find a place to relieve herself!
Having experienced the first time at noon, Shu Xiaoxiao didn’t feel so embarrassed the second time!
With Zhenzhu's company, Shu Xiaoxiao went to a faraway place to take care of her physiological needs and washed her hands with water from the kettle. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, other people also went to the bathroom, otherwise she might have been even more embarrassed alone!
And Pearl, the two of them looked at each other with full of relief.
Fortunately, I/Pearl came with you, otherwise, Master/I wouldn’t be able to have it easy!
Others didn't understand the atmosphere between the two. They just thought it was their first time traveling together and they were a little uncomfortable. But it would get better after a while. They all got through it this way.
Going to the toilet in the open air is nothing. When you go out, you can do everything in the open air. They have accidentally seen several couples doing that on the street. So once you get used to it, everything will be fine!
Yun Qinghan felt a little regretful. He should not have let his junior brother suffer so much because of his selfish desires.
When others were getting ready to mount their horses, Shu Xiaoxiao was still a little hesitant, wondering whether she should ride a horse or take a carriage. Oh, if only Dabai could come soon, she wouldn't have to make such a difficult choice. It would be so much more convenient and hassle-free to just choose Dabai! Dabai, do you know that I miss you!
