Chapter 96
Struggle in Ancient Times
âJudging from the pulse, there is nothing abnormal about your wifeâs body. I donât know why you came here,â the doctor asked.
Huang Zilan rolled his eyes: âI donât know why; I especially like to eat sour food recently. Soâ¦â
âOh, thatâs it. No wonder, but itâs really a pity. It must be because the weather is too hot, eat sour foods if you want it. You are still young and have plenty of time, so donât be anxious.â The doctor said tactfully.
Huang Zilanâs face turned red and white.
.
When walking out the door, in a quiet place where no one was.
âItâs all your bad idea. Itâs so embarrassing.â Huang Zilan slapped Liao Tingyuâs back with his hands in shame.
âI just came up with the idea of ââgoing to the hospital. Thatâs what you said. Why are you blaming me again?â Liao Tingyu felt that he was wronged, but he didnât dare to do anything, so he could only bear it.
But to be honest, the force of this hand hammering on my body was really comfortable.
âI said that because my mind was stuck at that time. You just watched and didnât say anything.â Huang Zilan said angrily.
âWasnât I confused too? But itâs a happy thing to find out that you are in good health. Itâs still early, letâs go!â Liao Tingyu drove the bullock cart slowly forward.
Huang Zilan was angry with him, so he said he didnât want to get out of the car, but he was so hot inside, he felt suffocated.
He opened the curtain and came out and sat next to Liao Tingyu.
âWhy donât you let me come out and feel the wind with you?â
âArenât you out right now? How long have you been inside and coming out now? You just miss me.â Liao Tingyu answered the question.
âStop talking nonsense. Why didnât you answer my question?â Huang Zilan said aggrievedly, âAre you angry because of what happened in the hospital?â
âHow is that possible? The sun and wind outside are really too strong, so itâs best for you to rest inside.â Liao Tingyu said.
âIâm not afraid of being exposed to the sun.â Huang Zilan looked at him, his eyes full of Liao Tingyuâs shadow.
âThen you put on the bamboo hat. When I get back from study tour, my father-in-law will definitely interrogate me when he sees your changed appearance.â Liao Tingyu took the bamboo hat from the side and put it on Huang Zilanâs head.@@novelbin@@
âNo way, itâs your mother who feel loves for you the most. If she sees you tanning, I will be the first to be interrogated, saying that I didnât take good care of you.â Huang Zilan would not be fooled, and his husband was Mother Dengâs joy.
âI wonât be black,â Liao Tingyu said proudly, âDidnât you realize that after walking around for so long, you have turned a little tan, and I have become whiter?â
Huang Zilanâs eyes widened. It was the first time he looked so carefully. Looking at the people next to him, it turned out to be true.
He felt unspeakable envy and jealousy in his heart.
Huang Zilan said sourly: âWhy is this happening? Why would such a good physique give you a man? Whatâs the use of you, men being white?â
âThe useful ones can be used as pretty boys,â Liao Tingyu said jokingly.
âWhat is a pretty boy?â Huang Zilan had never heard of it.
âA man-eating soft food, just like me,â Liao Tingyu said with a smile.
âHow can you say that about yourself if you eat soft food?â Huang Zilan poked his hand.
âHehe, this is natural.â Liao Tingyu was very happy now, âIf we have a baby in the future, itâs best to be white and tender forever like me.â
âIf you put on my clothes and walk out looking like this, you will definitely be watched by people from all over the street,â Huang Zilan said with his mouth raised.
âItâs hard to live with your natural beauty.â Liao Tingyu didnât think there was anything wrong with this.
The clothes between for ger were a little different than man, the sleeves were bigger and the skirt was longer, and the pattern was more delicate and beautiful.
Unexpectedly, his clothes only had a few patterns, very simple.
Every time Huang Zilan bought clothes, he went to see them. Basically, all the clothes in the room were his credit.
He asked the tailor to modify some of the things he didnât like.
For this reason, he also led the fashion trend in the town and even surrounding areas.
Perhaps these were common templates in the modern ancient style circle, but unfortunately here they were a reference for distinguishing gender.
And with his current status, there were some things he can only think about in his heart, or enjoy at home.
âWell! Why should he be so distinguished? Isnât it better to be more gorgeous?â
Liao Tingyu shook his head. Looking at his movements, Huang Zilan knew that this man was imagining again.
âOkay, stop thinking about it, you can only think about it,â Huang Zilan said.
âI really can only think about it, alas! Wife, I am really sad and need comfort.â Liao Tingyu said leaning on Huang Zilanâs shoulder.
âWe canât refuse these things. Letâs talk about it after we get home!â Huang Zilan patted Liao Tingyuâs big head like a puppy.
Liao Tingyu also nodded very cooperatively like a golden retriever.
.
âHave you heard the sound of the river?â Liao Tingyu asked as he pulled the ox cart for a while.
âIndeed.â Huang Zilan stood up and looked around but saw nothing.
Walking along the sound, Huang Zilan shouted very happily:
âThere is a small village down there with a river. We have a place to stay tonight.â
âThere are actually a few families leading from Huangshan, but itâs really⦠Itâs surprising.â Liao Tingyu said with a frown.
Huang Zilan suddenly came to his senses, âMaybe itâs the hunter, but for safetyâs sake, letâs spend the night in the car.â
Liao Tingyu also thought the same. It was getting late now, and they thought it would take at least a day to get to the next county. They could leave now, but it would be too far.
After walking around the village, both of them were a little silent. Huang Zilan leaned against the door frame quietly.
Liao Tingyu looked at the ger who had no energy, âWhatâs wrong, are you tired?â
âNo, I just think itâs dangerous for the two of us to leave. I should let you hire an escort.â Huang Zilan said regretfully.
âWhat do you think? Now that the politics are clear, these are all routes that have been checked, and there wonât be any problems. Itâs just that the two of us should be more careful. Donât be like this, come on, have a smile.â Liao Tingyu let go of the reins and pinched Huang Zilanâs face.
âOkay, stop making trouble and watch the cow.â Huang Zilan felt much relieved when he said this.
âWhy donât we just pretend to be ordinary people at our next stop? Donât use this scholarâs identity, just a young master going out to play. How about following the escort teams who are passing by?â Huang Zilan thought of a good idea.
Liao Tingyu thought for a while and said, âBut we are going to visit places where scholars are studying. Is that okay?â
âWhy not? Itâs better if we become young masters who like to read and donât have any fame.â Huang Zilan felt that this was his method very good.
âWhat about the servant?â Liao Tingyu said, âAs young masters, we have to accompanied by the servant.â
âHow about I continueâ¦â Huang Zilan was interrupted by Liao Tingyu before he finished speaking,
âNo, I donât like sitting alone while you stand. Playing once is enough.â
âThen what do you think we should do? Anyone with a little money will have a servant. Itâs unrealistic to buy someone. Our bullock cart canât fit three people. We still have a long way to go. Itâs impossible for us to take the cart and let him walk!â Huang Zilan said.
âThen buy another one.â Liao Tingyu suddenly said.
âThatâs right!â Huang Zilan clapped his hands, wouldnât it be nice to have an extra car?
But how on earth should this person buy it? We still have to go to the county town to make a decision.
This was the first time they spent the night outside. In order to avoid the attack of ferocious beasts, they gathered firewood outside and lit it around the bullock cart.
âGo and sleep for a while. Iâll call you later,â Liao Tingyu said after finishing his work.
Huang Zilan nodded, âRemember to call me if anything happens, and you should ask me to keep watch after you. Donât carry it alone, otherwise, you wonât be able to travel tomorrow if you are tired, and it will be difficult to sleep in the car.â
âDonât worry, I know, you go and have a rest.â Liao Tingyu naturally knows how to behave, and there were some things that couldnât be overpowered.
.
In the second half of the night, probably around three or four oâclock, Liao Tingyu woke Huang Zilan up from his sleep.
âYou stay here for a while and wake me up when it gets daylight. Iâll drive you, and then you go to sleep.â
Huang Zilan nodded, âDonât worry, you go to bed quickly.â
The next day, although the two of them said they were not very energetic, they were not too tired.
They simply cooked a pot of porridge and continued on.
Liao Tingyu tried his best to keep the bullock cart moving forward smoothly. The weather was too hot that day, so Liao Tingyu took out the saltpeter that he was reluctant to use.
Put the specially purchased small bowl in a large bowl, add water to the small bowl, and water and saltpeter to the large bowl. Wait for the ice to form in a cool place outside before placing the bowl with ice in the car.
At this time, Huang Zilan was already sweating due to the heat, and the appearance of ice alleviated the situation.
Perhaps it was because of the ice and lack of rest yesterday that Huang Zilan didnât wake up until noon.
He opened his eyes and saw the ice that was almost melted. This was already the third bowl.
âOh my God! How was this made? There is actually ice in it. Itâs exactly the same as what comes out of the ice cellar.â Huang Zilan exclaimed.
Liao Tingyu was immediately amused. Could there be two different kinds of ice?
Huang Zilan came out happily holding the ice bowl, âWow, this is so comfortable. How was it made? Itâs amazing.â
âPut this bowl down quickly. It will melt quickly if you hold it like this,â Liao Tingyu said.
âTell me first how to make this, and let me hold it for a while. Itâs too hot.â Huang Zilan was reluctant to put down the ice because of the damn weather.
âItâs nothing special. Itâs just made of saltpeter. Iâll teach you.â
He took out the saltpeter and said, âWe only have this little bit of saltpeter. We must use it sparingly. We are all relying on it this summer.â Liao Tingyu instructed.
Huang Zilan nodded quickly, and he must hoard more of these things in the future.
Watching water quickly condense into ice just like magic!
