Suburbs of Beijing, Mentougou.

Datai Township Villa.

Qian Duoduo, who was embroidered on the bed, lay on her side, preventing Zuo Mingjing from seeing her face.

The tears on her face have been wiped away and the swelling in her eyes has gone away.

But although she couldn't see her face, she knew in her heart that she was a little different now than usual.

Her whole heart felt like it had been soaked in a honeypot. She only felt the slightest hint of affection, and her face kept getting hot. She still can't calm down.

At this time, she would not dare to show her face again.

"Sister Mingjing, I'm really fine. I just caught a cold last night and will be fine after just two days of rest."

Zuo Mingjing said: "Look at your body, you are too delicate."

Zuo Ming thought to himself: "After Duoduo fainted last time, his energy and blood have become even weaker."

Saying this, they stayed by the bed for a while, then lowered the curtain and retreated.

Hearing the footsteps leaving, Qian Duoduo looked back and a blush appeared on his cheeks again.

Delicate?

Last night, he also said that he was delicate.

When Qian Duoduo thought of this, she was so ashamed that she covered her head with a quilt.

Last night, afterward, the two of them had sex for a while, but after all, I was too 'delicate' to let him enjoy himself...

Thinking like this, she began to blame herself a little.

But thinking of Wang Xiao's later gentleness and considerateness, she felt a sweetness in her heart.

After a while, the door was pushed open and someone walked in quietly.

Qian Duoduo was a little flustered. When she turned around, she saw that it was Wang Xiao.

A blush appeared on her face, she leaned on the bed and sat down, and glanced at him quickly, with shame in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Wang Xiao asked softly, sitting down by the bed.

Qian Duoduo said softly "Hmm".

"Does it still hurt?" Wang Xiao asked softly: "You keep saying it hurts, and I'm worried."

Qian Duoduo's face turned redder and she said in a very soft voice: "Don't keep asking such embarrassing questions."

"Oh." Wang Xiao scratched his head.

After a while, Qian Duoduo was afraid that he would be unhappy, so she whispered: "Actually... it hurts... but it's also very... comfortable..."

The next few words were so quiet that they couldn't be heard clearly.

Wang Xiao stroked her hair, feeling a little distressed.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say that he had to go back to Beijing.

The next moment, Qian Duoduo lowered his head and said, "It's only been a few hours since you brought me back...but...I..."

She glanced at him and quickly turned her head away.

"miss you."

She finished these three words quickly.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it was difficult to say the words on his lips.

He sighed in his heart, hugged this little crazy girl, and kissed her hair.

Qian Duoduo seemed to be bolder after being kissed like this. She carefully leaned her head over and said, "Only now do I understand what is meant by 'there is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I frown but take it into my heart'..."

…”

The two hugged each other secretly and talked for a while.

Wang Xiao finally said: "There is something going on in the capital. My eldest brother has sent someone to find me. I have to go back today."

Qian Duoduo was stunned and felt a little sad.

"How about I go back with you? It would be nice if we could look at each other more when we get on and off the carriage," she said at last.

After hearing such nonsense, Wang Xiao felt more and more heavy in his heart...

~~

Most of the people in the group were girls, so it would take a while just to clean up.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao was not in a hurry. Things had already happened. Rushing back would not help. It was better to think of countermeasures first.

Qian Duoduo covered her face with a veil, and was supported by the maid to get on the carriage. She went down the mountain and onto the carriage. It was a bit difficult all the way. Wang Xiao couldn't go up to help her, and he felt more and more apologetic...

~~

Several carriages drove slowly on the ancient road of Xijing. Geng Zhengbai, who had come to report the news, rode in front. Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance sat in the same carriage.

Qin Xuance glanced at Geng Zhengbai and said thoughtfully: "The ban on alcohol is not going well?"

"Um."

Qin Xuance said: "I told you before, that old eunuch Wang Fang has no ability."

Wang Xiao muttered: "What do you think we should do now?"

"What should we do?" Qin Xuance muttered, "Are you an official? Are you from the Taiping Department or Dongchang? We just proposed a ban on alcohol. Now that they have not done well, it is none of our business."

Wang smiled and said: "But the incident happened because of me. Eunuch Wang is also my friend after all."

"Do you really think of that old eunuch as your friend?"

"Yeah." Wang smiled and sighed: "If it's just the wine merchants making trouble, it's not terrible. I'm just afraid that someone is behind it."

Qin Xuance rolled his eyes and said, "Do you need to say this? Someone must have planned it."

Wang smiled and said: "Who is it?"

Qin Xuance touched his chin and said: "If it is my father-in-law's family, it is also possible."

Wang Xiao was quite speechless.

He looked at the two carriages in front of him and couldn't help but think that it was possible that they were money carriers. Was he considered his father-in-law now?

The horse's hooves moved forward slowly, and the wheels rolled.

When we reached a fork in the road, we saw a group of refugees in ragged clothes walking towards us from the south.

After the locust plague, more and more refugees from Henan and Zhili areas fled to the capital. However, the west of Beijing is mostly mountainous and there are not many pedestrians.

The dozen or so people in this group all looked weak. Some old, weak, women and children couldn't walk anymore, so they sat down on the roadside and leaned there motionless.

Wang Xiao looked at these people with yellow and thin faces and numb faces, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Qin Xuance saw his expression and said, "It's like this everywhere. I couldn't bear it before, but then I saw it more and got used to it."

While he was talking, the carriage in front of him stopped.

But it was the girls who brought out the dry food and ordered people to go over and distribute it to the refugees.

The drivers of the three carriages went over to hand out dry food.

Qin Xuance said: "Mingxin and the others will prepare some dry food every time they go out. If they meet refugees, they will share some."

Wang smiled a little, stood up, and wanted to go over and have a look.

Qin Xuance pulled him and said, "There's nothing interesting to see. Nothing you do will help this kind of thing."

Wang Xiao looked around and saw that the refugees did not rob them. They received the dry food with great gratitude and ate it feebly.

One of the coachmen carried dry food and distributed it to a woman wrapped in a turban. The woman stood up tremblingly, looking very grateful.

The coachman waved his hand, as if to say no.

The next moment, Wang Xiao's eyes suddenly widened!

But the woman suddenly made a sound of "vomiting", and then spit out a pool of blood in her mouth!

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and his pupils suddenly dilated.

But I saw the bloody red stain on the ground, just as Fu Qingzhu said, it looked like the rotten flesh of a watermelon!

"ah!"

The woman screamed and huddled on the ground, twitching and scratching her neck fiercely.

It was like going crazy, extremely violent, and then gradually became silent.

In the carriage, Wang Xiao was already frightened.
