Chapter 90: Emotional Premonition
Early in the morning, Su Tang slowly opened his eyes and suddenly found that he and Wen Xiang's bodies were leaning against each other for some reason. Wen Xiang seemed to be sleeping very soundly, her breathing slightly rough.
Su Tang and Mo adventure rescued each other, pulling the two people's psychological distance closer, and after last night's awkwardness, the physical distance between them was also pulled closer. If Wen Xiang still had concerns in her heart, if the two of them touched while sleeping, she would have been startled awake nine out of ten times, it's impossible for her to sleep so soundly.
Su Tang sat up, stretched a bit, jumped out of the carriage, and would eat something before continuing on his journey. He had to get ready.
As soon as Su Tang left the carriage, Wen Xiang opened her eyes. Her gaze was somewhat sinister, staring fiercely at Su Tang's back. When Su Tang's figure disappeared from view, she let out a soft sigh. The threat brought by the Hu family seemed not so important anymore. She couldn't help but think about how to live in the future...
The next moment, Wen Xiang's expression suddenly became tense, staring blankly at the place where Su Tang fell asleep last night. There was an additional thumb-sized little person there, sleeping soundly with his face up to the sky.
Su Tang tied up the horses outside, patted their bellies one by one to see if they were full, and at this time, a fragrant and anxious soft cry came from inside the carriage: "Su Tang, come quickly... hurry!"
What happened? Su Tang pulled open the car door and jumped up.
Xiang was staring intently at the little person sleeping, and when she saw Su Tang return, she let out a sigh of relief and hastily said: "Quickly, grab her! Don't use too much force, you'll hurt her, be gentle..."
Su Tang looked at the little girl, just about to speak, when the little girl was already awakened by the sound of Xun Xiang's voice. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and muttering: "Hateful..." To be honest, Xiao Bu Dian had no good feelings towards Xun Xiang at all. It was because of this woman that Su Tang wouldn't let her eat, drink wine, tell stories or play with her, forcing her to hide away. She wouldn't hold a grudge against Su Tang, so she naturally transferred all her resentment onto Xun Xiang.
"Huh? Ah???? She... she... can talk?!" Xiang's eyes were about to pop out: "Quick, quick, she's going to run away, are you a wooden stake?! Catch her quickly!!"
"Mom, I'm so hungry!" Xiaobu lazily ignored Wen Xiang and coquettishly said to Su Tang.
Wen Xiang was completely petrified, staring blankly at Xiao Bu Dong.
"Alright, wait a moment, I'll go outside and tidy up first." Su Tang said softly.
"Oh." Xiaobudian thought for a moment and said: "Mom, take a look..."
"You even know about stinky tofu!" Su Tang was amused, but he still took out a small round mirror from his bag and placed it at an angle in the corner.
Xiao Budian immediately ran in front of the mirror and started primping with a pleased smile.
Su Tang jumped out of the carriage, tidied up for a while, and the horse carriage was ready to set off at any time. He returned to the carriage again, and by this time, Wen Xiang's complexion had recovered somewhat. She looked at Su Tang, then at Xiao Bu Dian, and asked weakly: "Su Tang, are you... a man or a woman?"
"Nonsense!" Su Tang was annoyed at once: "Do you want to try or what?"
"What's wrong with her?!"
Xiang was willing to risk her life to protect the Life and Death Arena, just yesterday she tried to pass it on to Su Tang, and Su Tang didn't want to hide anything anymore, that's why he let Xiao Bu Dong appear.
"She is the seed of the Tree of Destiny..." Su Tang briefly recounted what had happened more than half a year ago, but he didn't mention the origin of the bond between him and Xiao Bu Dong. First, Wen Xiang might not understand it anyway, and secondly, he didn't want Wen Xiang to think of himself as a monster.
Wen Xiang's face changed with Su Tang's words, and after a while, he asked laboriously: "So, you accepted all the sources of life?"
"It should be, I wasn't quite clear-headed at the time, but that kind of injury... even if you were by my side, it's not certain you could have saved me. The fact that I'm alive and can see you now is all thanks to her."
"How dare you be so reckless when I'm not around?!" Wen Xiang scolded.
Su Tang smiled, he wasn't messing around. If time were to reverse and those things were to happen again, his will would only be more resolute than before, because now he really considered Xiaobu as his own family.
At this moment, Xiaobudian was still sitting in front of the round mirror, admiring himself with a pleased expression. As he gazed at Xiaobudian, his face grew increasingly gentle, and he found himself almost powerless to resist this adorable yet deeply connected little fellow.
Su Tang took out a tea cup lid from the package, which was Xiaodidian's lunch box. He poured some water from the water bag, took out a pellet of Cultivation Pill, crushed it and sprinkled it into the water. Then he picked up a fallen branch and stirred it carefully.
"Stop being nosy, Xiaobudian." Su Tang tapped the tea cup lid with a twig.
Xiao Bu Dian immediately flew over happily, lay on the edge of the cover, and drank the Dan water with a gurgling sound.
"Unexpectedly, you have such a thoughtful side......" Wen Xiang gently shook her head, but she smiled exceptionally warmly.
"You don't know how hard it is to serve this little thing." Su Tang sighed.
Sure, here is the translation:
"Sure enough, Xiaobudian quickly finished drinking the Dan water and then called out again: 'Mommy, I want to drink wine...'"
"Open your eyes and you want to drink?! " Su Tang frowned: "Wait till tonight."
"Oh..." The request was rejected, which had already become a common occurrence for Xiaobudian. It responded nonchalantly and returned to the round mirror.
"Will you still drink?" Wen Xiang was surprised and then said to Su Tang: "Speak softly, don't scare her!"
Su Tang picked up a pancake from one side and handed it to Wen Xiang: "Can you eat something today?"
"It's still not okay, I have internal injuries." Wen Xiang said.
"That's it." Su Tang put down the pancake and asked again: "It's morning, are you going to relieve yourself?"
Wen Xiang's face turned bright red, and then she shook her head, avoiding eye contact to the side. Her expression was much better than yesterday's, at least she didn't yell or scream. Women are usually like this, once they give birth, the second time is easier.
Su Tang took out the Wuhua Juting Dan again, fed it to Wen Xiang and had her drink a few mouthfuls of water. He then grabbed some flatbread and took a few bites before jumping out of the carriage.
Rushing the horse carriage all the way north, Su Tang and Wen Xiang made the correct judgment. The elders of the Hu family learned that the convoy encountered difficulties and Wen Xiang escaped. They would immediately search around the scene in all directions, south, east, west, but not turn back to the north. This belongs to the blind spot of logical reasoning.
All the way safe and sound, on the fifth day, Su Tang saw three batches of hundreds of warriors in a row. They ran from the direction of Beifeng City and rushed southward. Apparently, Hu's family was working hard to gather all their strength.
At this time, Su Tang was no longer in a hurry and instead took his time, strolling along leisurely. If he had gone any faster, he might have attracted unnecessary trouble.
Over the past few days, Su Tang and Wen Xiang's feelings for each other had grown deeper. Some things were just natural, and every day, Wen Xiang would be 'attended to' by Su Tang once or twice. The shyness in Wen Xiang's heart gradually faded away, replaced by a strong sense of dependence.
On the seventh day, the carriage stopped in front of a forest, and Su Tang got off to find a village. After asking around, he learned that Yizipo was not far away, only more than 20 miles away. However, it was already late at night, and there was no way to find the road, so they rested for the night first.
Back in the carriage, jumped into the compartment, but found that the atmosphere was a bit off, Wen Xiang and Xiao Bu Dian were staring at each other, this is truly a big eye staring at small eyes.
"What's wrong?" Su Tangqi said, in the past few days, Wen Xiang and Xiao Budo had become quite familiar with each other. When he drove the car forward, he often heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the carriage. Besides, Wen Xiang was that kind of strong-willed woman, it was impossible for her to quarrel with Xiao Budo.
"Mommy, Mommy, she smells so bad!" Xiaobu immediately tattled and then jumped onto Wenxiang's body: "Don't believe me? Smell here, and here..."
"Little punk!" The fragrance made her eyebrows frown, but her arms could only barely move now, and her fingers were still very stiff, otherwise she would have grabbed the little punk and thrown it far away.
"Alright." Su Tang stifled a smile: "I'll go fetch water." It had been almost ten days since he last took a bath, so it was normal to have some body odor.
"What's the point of fetching water?!" Wen Xiang hastily exclaimed: "I didn't... Su Tang, you come back!"
Su Tang jumped out of the car, and when he slipped back into the village, it was already very late. He casually found a household, stole a wooden bucket, and then found a well to fill a full bucket of water.
Back to the woods, carrying a bucket of water into the carriage, a full bucket of water, not light in weight. Su Tang put the bucket on the floor of the carriage, and the carriage shook slightly, while Xiang's body also trembled. She knew what taking a bath meant.
Su Tang's face was always very serious, he knew his expression was a bit unusual, Wen Xiang would definitely not be able to take it. He first grabbed Wen Xiang's hand and wiped it clean with a cloth dipped in water, then took off Wen Xiang's boots and wiped her feet clean as well.
Then, Su Tang turned Xiang's body over and wiped her back with a towel. These were all right, Xiang could accept them, but when Su Tang turned Xiang's body over again and unbuttoned her undergarments through her clothes, she showed some resistance, slightly twisting her body.
Su Tang's facial expression was well-controlled, she lifted her clothes and undergarments, stuffed the wet towel in, wiping her fragrant chest and abdomen, the two bulges on her chest were naturally unavoidable, Xiang's body kept trembling, her head also twisted to one side, her face flushed red.
When Wen Xiang finished washing, her face was red as if it were about to bleed. In fact, Su Tang himself wasn't feeling well either, his throat was dry and hot, and he was sweating profusely. He hastily tidied up and lay down, but this night, he deliberately avoided Wen Xiang, keeping a distance from her.
