The disabled king and medical concubine are pampered

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan pretended to look around.

"Why is the road getting narrower and narrower, old Xu'er, are you sure this is the road leading to Ningzhou?"

Old Xu'er agreed in front: "The official road is a detour, this is a shortcut, and it can barely let the carriage pass, so let's take this road."

Gu Yuan sneaked a glance at Xiao Chiyu, and drove forward calmly: "Oh, okay, then be careful, this is mostly a hillside cliff, don't roll down!"

When the words fell, people had already come to the front.

Xiao Chiyu looked at her back and smiled helplessly.

After another day of driving, Gu Yuan felt something was wrong.

He leaned into Xiao Yun's ear and whispered: "How is your sense of direction? Why do I feel that old Xu'er is leading the wrong way?"

Ningzhou is in the south, but they have been heading west.

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I don't have a strong sense of direction."

Gu Yuan turned her head to look at Xiao Chiyu, and saw him riding a horse slowly, looking very comfortable.

Gu Yuan bit her lip, and slowed down her speed unobtrusively.

When he arrived beside her, she looked up at the sky and said: "Recently, the southeast wind blows, but I always feel that we are not walking towards the wind, is there something wrong with the direction..."

Xiao Chiyu squinted at her, with a hint of a smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.

Then he rode directly past her on a horse, leaving a cold back.

Gu Yuan moved her mouth, and finally rolled her eyes at him.

Detours are detours, anyway, it's not her business to delay, so she just treats it as a tour.

She was muttering in her heart, when she suddenly felt something thrown in front of her, and she subconsciously took it.

Looking down, isn't this... a compass?

She quickly followed Xiao Chiyu with her hand, and said, "You actually have a compass on you? Why haven't I seen you take it out before?"

Xiao Chiyu turned her head and glanced at her: "It's not surprising that Sinan is always on hand when you're away from home. Compass... this name is new, and it fits its characteristics."

Gu Yuan didn't have time to worry about the difference in address, so she took a compass and put it on her chest to explore, and found that they had indeed been heading west.

She was suddenly vigilant, and looked up at Xiao Chiyu: "Did you find out a long time ago?"

Xiao Chiyu nodded: "I noticed it yesterday when Old Xu'er said to take a shortcut. After observing for a day, I can be sure that he didn't take us to Ningzhou."

If it was a shortcut, most of the time it pointed to the south, but at the end of the day, their general direction was indeed heading west.

Gu Yuan looked at the carriage ahead.

Because the road is not wide, there is almost no chance for them to walk side by side. At this moment, there is a distance ahead, and Lao Xuer cannot hear their conversation.

"Is there something wrong with old Xu'er?"

The corner of Xiao Chiyu's mouth twitched coldly: "If there is any problem, we will know soon."

The spring sun shone on Xiao Chiyu's side face, and the outline of his jaw became clearer, as sharp as a knife.

Although most of the face is hidden under the mask, but the confident and sharp eyes are fully displayed, Gu Yuan is a little stunned.

Suddenly, she felt that being smart and resourceful might not be his shortcoming, and she didn't need to alienate him because of it.

After all, chatting with such a person is really easy.

Xiao Chiyu felt her naked gaze, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Sinan who likes me...?"

Gu Yuan was taken aback, thinking he was asking...

Can you speak without panting?

She nodded: "I like all good things. With it, even in the wilderness, I don't have to worry about getting lost."

The corner of Xiao Chiyu's mouth curled slightly: "For you."

Gu Yuan likes this sentence very much, she seems to attach great importance to her, as if she can get everything she likes.

She happily put the compass into her arms and said with a smile, "Thanks."

Because she was suspicious of Old Xu'er, Gu Yuan quietly reminded Xiao Yun, telling him to be more vigilant on the road and be careful of ambushes.

Then Xu Xiaoqiao and her maid abandoned the carriage on the grounds that the road was too narrow.

Xu Xiaoqiao was led by her to ride the horse, she was afraid that old Xu'er would be bad for her.

"Old Xuer, how long will it take to get there? Didn't you say this is a shortcut?"

Without the carriage, Old Xu'er had no choice but to walk. He wiped his sweat and turned around and said, "Hurry up, boss, please be patient."

The next moment, a fan was pressed against his neck.

Old Xu'er was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

"Third master, what are you doing..." This fan can kill people invisible, he has seen it before.

Gu Yuan got off her horse and came in front of him.

He sneered and said, "Old Xu'er, are you sure this is the way to Ningzhou City?"

A guilty conscience flashed in Old Xu'er's eyes, and he said tremblingly: "This road can indeed go to Ningzhou City, I didn't lie to you."

Xiao Yun's fan moved closer, drawing a thin bloodstain on his neck.

"Give you another chance, to be honest!"

Gu Yuan still remembered the half steamed bun that Old Xu'er handed over when they were extremely hungry, and she still kept it in her bag.

But if all of this is for another purpose, she won't let him go easily.

Old Xu'er trembled, looked back and forth between the two of them, and finally howled dryly: "I say, I say, please spare my life!"

Xiao Yun's fan slowly moved away.

Old Xu'er kowtowed on the ground and said, "I didn't intend to deceive the masters, I just miss my grandson, and want to visit him and take him home..."

Gu Yuan frowned slightly: "Your grandson?"

"Yes, he is studying at Baicao Villa not far ahead. I haven't seen him for several years. Thinking this is an opportunity, I want to go and see him."

When mentioning grandson, Old Xu'er's old and muddy eyes were full of light.

"My grandson's parents died since he was a child, and I brought him up with shit and urine. He is born very smart and will never forget what he has seen. It's a pity that our family is poor and has no money for him to study. But Just five years ago, we met a nobleman. He was from Baicao Villa. He said that my grandson was very talented and suitable for studying medicine. He wanted to take him to the manor to study! I thought about it, it’s a good feeling, if I can become a doctor, From now on, you don’t have to beg everywhere with me, and you can also ask for a daughter-in-law, so let him go.”

As he said that, he took out two neatly folded letter papers from his pocket, handed them to Gu Yuan and said, "Young master, look, this is the letter my grandson wrote to me. He read it to me, and he said that my grandson learned a lot in Baicao Manor, so he could come back as a teacher. I have been thinking about going to pick him up, but there is no money, and there is no one begging on the way, so I can't go! "

The expression on Gu Yuan's face softened a lot, she lowered her head and said, "Since you have this thought, why didn't you tell us directly?"
