Tacit Understanding

"Gulan, are you okay?" Although Gulan looked fine, Li Da couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"It's okay," Gulan shook her head.

"It's really okay." Old man Li still looked at Gulan worriedly.

"Don't worry, uncle, it's okay, not even a hair is hurt."

"That's good, that's good." Old man Li quickly pulled Gulan to sit next to the fire. The boy was soaked all over and it was so cold that he would get sick.

"Gulan, you'd better change your clothes quickly." Li Da reminded. Although there is fire, it takes time to dry it, and it is easy to catch cold during this period.

"Yes, yes," Old Man Li nodded.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes first." Gulan said as she walked straight into the rain, got into her own carriage, found a set of her own clothes, and then thought about it and took out Xiang Yunjin's set as well.

Then she went to the bedroom next door, changed her clothes as quickly as possible, appeared in the space to change the most important sanitary napkin, took off her hair and wiped it carefully with a towel in the space, and only opened the door and reappeared next to the fire after the water stopped dripping. Just when he was about to sit down to dry his hair, Xiang Yunjin, soaked in water, walked in from the rain.

Before, they only saw Gulan and didn't notice Yunjin. Li Da and the others didn't dare to ask. When they saw the people coming, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing nothing happened.

He happily said to Yunjin: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

However, under the light of the fire, the condition of the Yunjin was obviously not as good as Gulan's. There were obvious tears on their clothes, and it was unknown whether they were injured or not. Their dark and yellow faces looked a little pale under the light of the fire.

Old man Li said worriedly, "Jin boy, are you okay?"

Faced with the kindness, Xiang Yunjin rarely forced a smile at Old Man Li and said hoarsely, "It's okay." Although the smile looked a little hideous against his ugly face, the warmth in it could still be felt.

"Oh! Your health is not good, go and change your clothes quickly." Old man Li pointed at the clothes in the willow basket by the wall. It was the extra set that Gulan had just taken out. Old man Li then realized that it was prepared for Jin boy.

Gulan, with her loose black hair, stopped drying her hair and handed the clothes in the basket to Xiang Yunjin as the old man Li asked.

When Xiang Yunjin saw Gulan with disheveled hair for the first time, he was stunned. At this moment, he doesn't look like he can defeat a top master with just one punch. Gulan, standing in the firelight with his black hair, looked even thinner, and with his unique big eyes, Xiang Yunjin somehow always had the illusion that the person standing in front of him might be a woman. Although Gulan is of good height, his small frame is really deceptive.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Gulan glared at Xiang Yunjin, shaking the clothes in her hands.

Xiang Yunjin hurriedly caught the clothes and shook off the wild thoughts in his mind. God knows how he could have such a ridiculous idea. How could this guy be a woman? It's not good to look too feminine. Then, like Gulan, he went into the room opposite and changed his wet clothes. After coming out, he took his special face towel and wiped his hair carefully. Finally, it stopped dripping. He followed Gulan's example and sat by the fire to dry his hair.

Old man Li and his sons did not go back, but sat around the fire. Li Da even took out his own clay pot, sat on the fire, and peeled a few pieces of ginger and put it in. The weather was cold, and the two people were drenched by the rain. It was definitely a chill that had entered their bodies, so they had to drink ginger soup to drive away the cold. Although he is a little careless sometimes, he still knows this common sense.

"Where are those people?" After the two drank the ginger soup, Old Man Li pondered for a long time and finally asked these words. Li Da and the others also looked at Gulan curiously.

Gulan glanced at Xiang Yunjin and said, "We left since we can't defeat them."

"Left?" Old man Li looked at Gulan in surprise.

"Yes, I left," Gulan smiled meaningfully.

Seeing Gulan's smile, he somehow thought of the dozen horses still in the yard. Old Man Li nodded repeatedly as if he suddenly realized something. "It's good that they left. It's good that they left. This way we can feel more comfortable. These people look too fierce."

Then, feeling sleepy, he couldn't help but yawn. Old Man Li stood up and said, "Well, it's getting late. We've been busy for so long, let's take a rest."

As Old Man Li walked into the room, Li Da, who wanted to learn more details, felt embarrassed to stay any longer after hearing what his father said. He was also really sleepy, so he went in with his brothers.

Looking at the closed door, Gulan smiled. Life is indeed different as you get older. He immediately understood what she meant.

Then the two of them sat by the fire and continued to dry their hair, silent for a while. Gulan did not mention the helper who suddenly appeared in the rain. She had always known that Xiang Yunjin's identity was not ordinary, and it was only a matter of time before the people behind him came looking for him, so she didn't feel surprised. It's just that these people hid so well that she, who was always very observant, didn't even notice them. It must be said that their lightness skills were really good, which was unmatched by anyone in her era.

The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. Gulan did not ask Xiang Yunjin or what caused the sudden loud noise. Why is there such a thing? Where did it come from? He didn't think that Gulan was hiding it on his body, and he couldn't hide it. In the rain, he vaguely saw a large black object appear in Gulan's hand. There are also strange kung fu. In fact, Xiang Yunjin has many more questions in his mind, but he has suppressed them all in his heart. No matter how strange Gulan was, he was his savior, and he saved him twice. If Gulan didn't say this, he wouldn't ask, let alone do anything that would be detrimental to him.

"Gulan, can you give me some of the medicine in the carriage?"

Gulan was drying her hair and was about to take a nap when Xiang Yunjin suddenly spoke to her.

"Of course." Gulan also thought about the injuries on his men, who really needed medicine.

"Thank you." Xiang Yunjin looked at Gulan deeply.

Gulan smiled, "What are you thanking me for? The medicine is in the carriage, go get it if you need it, and there is also alcohol and bandages in the carriage." After all, they fought together, and Gulan was generous for once.

"Thank you" Xiang Yunjin.

Waving her hand and adding a few thick firewood to the fire, Gulan stopped talking, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. It wasn't long until dawn, and I didn't want to go back to the carriage in the rain to get bedding, so I decided to just make do with this for the night.

As for her son, he didn't come out when she came back, which meant he was in a deep sleep. So she let him continue sleeping. She didn't intend to disturb him.

After a while, Gulan's breathing became steady, and he fiddled with the flames as if he was thinking about something.

"Chirp, chirp..."

Xiang Yunjin, who was deep in thought, looked outside the door. After glanching at the sleeping Gulan, Xiang Yunjin picked up his hat, stood up and walked towards the door.

The next moment, Wang Yun, soaked all over, appeared in the yard.

"Prince"

Wang Yun was about to salute when Xiang Yunjin raised his hand to stop him.

"Is it done?"

"It has been done."

"Well, wait." As he spoke, Xiang Yunjin put on his hat and walked towards the carriage on the side of the yard.

Wang Yun didn't dare to wait and followed the prince closely.

After a while, the prince walked out of the carriage and said, "These are medicines for wounds, as well as cotton wool and cloths for cleaning wounds."

Wang Yun took it with both hands, "Thank you, Prince."

"Use the cotton wool sparingly. If there is not much left, bring the rest back." Thinking of Gulan's stinginess with alcohol, Xiang Yunjin said one more sentence.

"Yes," Wang Yun quickly agreed.

"I'll take my leave," Wang Yun bowed to the prince and disappeared in the rain.
