The waiter came up and knocked on the door to send him off. After Gu Jingzhi opened the door and took the food, he turned around and went into the house to have dinner with Li Xi.

"What just happened down there?"

Li Xi paused with her hand picking up the food and looked up at him. He still had the nerve to ask. They were all soldiers under his command. Wouldn't he ask them himself? Why did he ask himself?

"I don't know." Li Xi said nonchalantly.

But how could Gu Jingzhi, who was already familiar with her every expression, not see that she was not telling the truth? His eyes flickered slightly. Since she didn't want to say it, then she didn't have to say it. He would let Zhang Hao go and ask her later.

After breakfast, Li Xi handed the written letter to Gu Jingzhi and asked him to find someone to deliver it to Doctor Wu. Gu Jingzhi naturally agreed.

The town where they settled was not big, and they were in a hurry to go to Beijing, so they did not plan to stay for too long. They only planned to stay for one day, simply replenish some supplies, and leave the next day.

Naturally, it was not Li Xi's turn to replenish supplies. Gu Jingzhi was afraid that she would be bored, so he offered to take her out for a walk.

Li Xi had a long sleep last night, took a bath after waking up, and had a meal. She was now at her most energetic. In addition, she was in a hurry to travel these days, so she spent most of her time in the carriage.

Now that she had finally gotten off the carriage, she didn't want to stay in the room, so she accepted Gu Jingzhi's invitation.

……

"The town here looks quite different from Jiayuguan and Jiangning City."

Li Xi looked at the buildings on both sides of the road, wondering if it was because they were getting closer to the capital, the style of this town was so different from that of the town behind.

There is a lot of yellow sand in the north, and people mostly use yellow mud to build houses. In order to keep warm, the walls of the houses are always thick and look very rough.

Although there are houses made of mud bricks, there are also many houses made of bricks and tiles. Even for houses made of mud bricks, the lower part of the walls are covered with bluestone slabs, which are both beautiful and durable.

Not only that, the faces of the surrounding people are also very different. There is always a cruel look in the eyes of the people in the north. They stay at the border all year round. Although they are protected by the Zhenbei Army, the Huns are always eyeing them covetously. No matter how powerful the Zhenbei Army is, there are times when they have no time to take care of them.

Whenever the situation arises, they have to stand up and protect themselves. Over the years, they have become more ruthless than ordinary people. At the border, most men, women, young and old are capable, and few are as weak and crying as Miss Liu.

But it’s different here. The people here are still the people of Dayan, but they are far away from the war, which makes them look more peaceful.

There were constant sounds of hawking on the streets and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

Li Xi and Gu Jingzhi walked side by side on the street. Because of their outstanding appearance, they attracted a lot of attention, but when Gu Jingzhi glanced over, they were scared and looked away.

Some people couldn't help but pat their chests. The man looked gentle, but why did his eyes look so scary? Being looked at by him was like being hit by a sharp ice sword.

Li Xi obviously also noticed the attention that Gu Jingzhi's outstanding height and appearance attracted.

She walked to the mask stand, picked up two masks, put one on herself, and handed the other to Gu Jingzhi, "Here, put it on."

Gu Jingzhi glanced at the tiger mask on Li Xi's face, then at the fox mask she handed over, raised his eyebrows, said nothing, took the mask and put it on.

Li Xi raised her chin towards him while wearing a mask, then looked at the stall in front of her, motioning him to give her money.

Gu Jingzhi raised his lips and asked the vendor, "How much?"

The vendor said: "These are all made by me. They are not expensive. Ten cents each."

Gu Jingzhi took out twenty cents and gave it to him. Seeing that Gu Jingzhi had given the money, Li Xi did not stop and continued walking forward.

The mask hid his outstanding appearance and also blocked him from the scrutiny of people around him.

"I suddenly have a question to ask you." Li Xi suddenly said.

Gu Jingzhi was a little curious, "What's the problem?"

"Why did you give that vendor twenty cents just now?"

"One is ten cents, two is twenty cents." What kind of problem is that?

"Young masters like you should spend a lot of money lavishly. Even if spending a lot of money is a bit exaggerated, it should still be a silver coin, right?"

Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? Yes, that's right. Although our Doctor Li Xi was always busy with his studies in modern times, he has also watched several costume TV dramas. After all, people always need a balance between work and rest.

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

"A noble family's young master is not a noble family's fool." Gu Jingzhi explained with a smile. Although there are indeed some people who spend money like water, he is obviously not one of them.

After Gu Jingzhi said this, it was Li Xi's turn to be speechless.

A noble son? A noble fool?

He can describe it.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything." Li Xi coughed lightly, "Hey, that stall is crowded, it looks good, let's go and take a look."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked ahead. Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi naturally followed.

The two masked men no longer attracted anyone's attention and quickly blended into the crowd.

Li Xi just saw three layers of people surrounding the stall, but did not see what kind of stall it was.

As soon as they walked in, they were pushed to the front by people who came to join in the fun. Only then did they realize that this was a fortune-telling stall.

The stall owner was an old man with white hair and beard. He narrowed his eyes and looked at a capable old woman sitting opposite him.

The old woman swallowed and looked at the fortune teller nervously, "Master, what did you see?"

The people around who were watching the fun also looked at the old man expectantly.

The old man stroked his long beard and said, "You have a face that means you suffered in your previous life but will be blessed in the future. You will have many children and grandchildren. Your good days are still ahead."

Hearing the old man say this, the old woman's cloudy eyes lit up, "Master, you are really an old immortal, your calculations are really accurate."

She lost her father at an early age, and raised her son with great difficulty over the years. She just married him off a few days ago, and good days are not yet in sight.

The old woman put down the hanging money with a smile on her face, then left with the basket.

Seeing that the old man's calculations were accurate, the people around him were eager to try, but when they saw the words "one hang, thirty coins" written on the curtain next to him, they hesitated.

Seeing the old man with an immortal look, Li Xi felt a little suspicious. She had seen a lot of fortune-telling techniques on the Internet before. Many people said that fortune-telling was a kind of psychological suggestion.

She used to be a staunch materialist, but after traveling through time and experiencing such non-materialistic things, she was no longer sure.

Gu Jingzhi noticed Li Xi's curiosity and pulled her to sit in front of the old man. "Please help us calculate it."

The fortune teller glanced at them, frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you two want to see?"
