Cheng Shuiyao stuck out her tongue, handed the sword to Yang Qi, thanked him again before running back.

It was getting late at this time, and she probably wouldn't be able to sleep for long. She thought for a moment and went straight into the space.

As soon as she entered the space, Cheng Shuiyao saw several seedlings growing in the ground, and her face was immediately filled with joy.

Although she herself didn't know what she was sowing, it was still fruitful.

After watering the place with water from the spiritual spring with a smile, Cheng Shuiyao took out the book and began to compare the appearance of the leaves one by one.

Unfortunately, the drawings in this book were too hasty, and the growth conditions were different. Cheng Shuiyao read for a long time, but still found nothing.

Forget it, she accepted her fate.

Cheng Shuiyao threw the book away casually, sat down next to the spiritual spring, and took a few sips of the spring water.

But maybe it was because she was too tired today, so she felt the water was sweeter in her mouth.

"I have to find an opportunity to add some to the water bag."

Cheng Shuiyao looked at the spiritual spring water thoughtfully, stood up, clapped her hands, and left the space.

It was already dawning, but no one had woken up yet.

Cheng Shuiyao glanced at Xiao Ji, who was leaning on a dead branch not far away with his eyes closed, and his expression gradually softened.

During the time they spent together, she gradually discovered that Xiao Ji was actually very kind in nature and had enough patience and care.

If such a person hadn't encountered so many changes, he probably wouldn't have become like that.

Cheng Shuiyao looked away, inexplicably feeling somewhat confident in Xiao Ji.

Xiao Jiyi, who was not far away, felt something. He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Shuiyao. Seeing that the latter had changed his posture and looked away, he silently closed his eyes again.

After being quiet for a long time, Yang Qi's voice suddenly sounded.

"Let's walk faster today. If we walk faster, we should be able to reach the next town before sunset."

Several gongs sounded, and everyone had to get up no matter how reluctant they were.

Cheng Shuiyao deliberately slowed down and fell to the end of the team, approaching Xiao Ji.

"Have your injuries been treated?"

Xiao Ji shook his head, looked at Cheng Shuiyao up and down, and saw her taking out a medicine bottle from her sleeve.

"I asked Yang Qi for this. He said that this medicine is not top-grade, but the effect is okay. Can you give it a try?"

Cheng Shuiyao spoke cautiously, looking in front of her from time to time, for fear of attracting everyone's attention.

Yang Qi gave her the medicine for the sake of personal friendship. It would be bad if it aroused other people's jealousy.

"Yeah, I'll keep it."

Xiao Ji took the medicine bottle, but accidentally touched Cheng Shuiyao's cold fingertips.

"Are you cold?" Xiao Ji frowned and looked sideways at Cheng Shuiyao.

Slightly startled, Cheng Shuiyao blinked and shook her head decisively.

It's a pity that her little thoughts couldn't escape Xiao Ji's eyes.

"Come up."

Xiao Ji squatted down in front of her, his tone was neither salty nor cold, but Cheng Shuiyao could inexplicably hear a hint of concern.

"There are so many people," Cheng Shuiyao blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it."

Xiao Ji sighed, and then involuntarily pulled Cheng Shuiyao onto his back and carried her steadily.

"This will keep me warmer and help cover up my injuries."

"Oh." Cheng Shuiyao glanced at her leg and saw that it blocked the injury on Xiao Ji's waist just right, so she didn't say anything more.

Xie Yin, who was walking in front with his two children, didn't see the two people for a long time. He turned his head in confusion and saw the two people intimately at a glance.

"It seems that Ji'er and Shuiyao get along very well."

Xie Yin thought to herself, her face couldn't help but be excited, now it's better, she doesn't have to worry about her grandchildren.

Unable to help but look back, Xie Yin turned around with a smile and no longer looked at the two people.

At half noon, Cheng Shuiyao saw beads of sweat on Xiao Ji's neck and hurriedly struggled to get down.

Although he is not heavy, he still has some weight. Xiao Ji must not be that easy to carry him on his back.

"Don't move!" Xiao Ji sighed, lifted Cheng Shuiyao up, and put it on her back again.

"You didn't sleep much last night, so you might as well take a nap now and leave by yourself in the afternoon."

"This..." Cheng Shuiyao hesitated a little, but was pushed back by Xiao Ji.

"Go to sleep."

There was a hint of command in Xiao Ji's words. Cheng Shuiyao protested to no avail and could only follow him.

Feeling the warmth, a feeling of sleepiness surged into her heart. Cheng Shuiyao fell asleep without realizing it. When she opened her eyes again, it was already afternoon.

"Put me down."

Cheng Shuiyao refused to let Xiao Ji carry her, and struggled with her calf dangling.

But Cheng Shuiyao struggled, so Xiao Ji could only put her down and touch her hand without leaving a trace.

My fingertips felt quite warm, and I guess they weren't that cold anymore.

Xiao Ji thought to himself and quietly trailed half a step behind Cheng Shuiyao.

She hasn't touched the ground all morning, so Cheng Shuiyao is now extremely energetic and bouncing forward, feeling very energetic.

"Shui Yao, come this way."

Xie Yin waved, with a particularly kind smile on his face.

Just assuming that something happened to him, Cheng Shuiyao took three steps and two steps at a time and walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Did you fall asleep on Xiao Ji's back this morning?"

Xie Yin looked at Cheng Shuiyao excitedly with a gossipy face.

"this……"

Cheng Shuiyao's face turned red and she nodded slightly, but immediately realized something was wrong.

Being so intimate in public, wouldn't your mother-in-law feel that you are not reserved?

Raising her eyelids anxiously, Cheng Shuiyao was about to say something to make up for it, when she saw Xie Yin's smile getting deeper.

"You girl has caught Xiao Ji's eye. His boy is usually untouchable, let alone memorized."

Xie Yin arched his eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Ji, who was walking silently, and turned around Cheng Shuiyao.

"When we get back to the place, you have to get along well and try to give the Xiao family a child next year."

"Mother-in-law!" Cheng Shuiyao's face turned red. She really didn't expect the birth to happen so quickly, so she casually said haha ​​and quickly moved away.

"My brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship."

Ruxue spoke with a sweet voice and glanced at Cheng Shuiyao enviously.

Her brother usually didn't even carry her back, but he carried her sister-in-law's back all morning without saying a word, which made her really envious.

"How about I find a husband like this for Ruxue later?"

Xie Yin glanced at Ruxue with a smile, and when he saw the little girl hiding behind Zijie in embarrassment, he turned around with a smile.

After this episode, Xie Yin's mood improved a lot and he didn't feel tired all afternoon.

In the evening, the group of people arrived at the small town as expected. The general guarding the city did not create any difficulties. After a few routine questions, the group of people were allowed in.

After giving everyone a few instructions like last time, Yang Qi took his brothers to buy supplies.

Cheng Shuiyao walked around leisurely, trying to find something to do for herself.
