Chapter 8: Princess Tianxiang
The sun rose and sunset three times, and in three days, the goshawk caught two rats and a bulging snake, all of which were eaten by Mr. Bai Eat.
In three days, Ma Wenbing also gave Lao Bai three times Kung Pao Chicken, and the relationship between them deepened a lot.
In three days, Liu Linger learned Kung Pao Chicken, and since then her attitude towards Ma Wenbing has been better.
In three days, Liu Yikou also chatted enough with the villagers, and everyone knew that he was going to participate in the food competition, and they all sent their best wishes.
In the course of three days, Zhao Datou and the four of them honestly learned to cook, and they also thought about a plan in the dark......
...... As soon as the three days passed, Liu Yikou, Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er set off in full gear and walked on the only road leading to the outside in the village.
This is the first time Ma Wenbing has come out of Shilong Village, his heart is like a stirred wave, and he is accompanied by the beautiful Liu Ling'er, it seems that his life has reached its peak.
Liu Linger was also very excited, although she had been to many big towns and cities, but she was still young at that time, and the situation was completely different from now.
The goshawk hangs high and hisses from time to time in the air.
The sun had just risen from the East Hill, and it was as difficult as a fat pig, and then the golden sunlight was dispersed, and the heavens and the earth were golden, and even Liu Yikou's round face seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, and his smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
......
Hmph, this chrysanthemum is not another chrysanthemum.
"Wen Bing, it's your first time out of the village, right?" Liu asked with a smile, this kid has also suffered in the village for twenty years, where have you seen any big towns and big cities.
"Yes, Master, I don't know what the outside world is like?" Ma Wenbing asked excitedly.
.“ One word, eat!" Liu said triumphantly.
Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er were puzzled.
"The country has foodies to come out, each leading the food for hundreds of years, this is the poem of the Son of Heaven, written is the inclusion of the land of China, there is nothing outside that cannot be solved, the rich and noble can eat, the poor and the suffering can be eaten, the mountains and rivers can be eaten, the living and dead can still be eaten, as long as they can eat, they can travel all over the world......"
Liu laughed again after speaking.
......
How did the great chairman's quotations become poems of the Son of Heaven? Ma Wenbing was stunned.
At this time, Liu Linger jumped up happily, "Eat, I can do it." ”
......
In fact, in the past few days, Ma Wenbing has found that Liu Linger is an authentic foodie, and her eating appearance is not symmetrical to her beautiful appearance, but Ma Wenbing likes her very much, but Bai Lai has no feelings.
"Master, where is our first goal?" asked Ma Wenbing, who wanted to know in advance because he was not familiar with the outside.
"The Heavenly Dragon Inn of the Four Great Inns!" Liu replied.
......
"Please protect the princess, please escort the princess, please be kind to the princess......"
A woman who was not yet forty years old and richly dressed died after saying this.
"Mother, mother, mother......" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old petite and delicate girl in a white flower skirt screamed sadly.
It was her mother who died, and she was also the noble Tianxiang Niangniang, and it was her daughter who cried, called Tianxianglan.
At this moment, there are two other people next to Princess Xianglan, both of whom are in their sixties, the male is slightly lame, and the female is slightly blind, both of whom are Tianxiang Niangniang's most trusted servants, and they also grew up watching Xianglan.
Although they were servants, Tenka always called them grandparents.
"Niangniang is dead, blind woman, what shall we do?" the cripple asked in shock, and suddenly the six gods looked like they had no master.
"Of course, escort the princess to a safe place!" the blind man glanced lame, this kind of thing still needs to be asked? Don't you know that Marco has two masters, and no one can have two hearts!
"Mother-in-law, where is the safe place?" the cripple asked again, because he had lived in the capital since he was a child, and he was really blind when he left the capital, unlike his mother-in-law, she was brought out of home by Tianxiang Niangniang.
"Don't ask the old lady!" The blind mother-in-law was a little impatient, he asked and asked all the way, like a duck kept croaking, and he hadn't been out of the capital for many years.
......
The cripple man is very dazed, he has been fleeing for his life for the past month, the royal matter is the world's business, unfortunately he and the blind man are also involved in it, but they are involved in more favors.
"Cripple, tell the princess not to cry, the pursuers are about to catch up, let's find a place to bury the mother, we have to get out of here quickly." The blind mother-in-law urged, and the urgency of burning her butt could no longer delay too much time.
"I'm not going! I'm going to you!" the cripple shook his head and said, a drop of his eyes passed silently, this time was the saddest time for the princess, how could he bear to let the princess not cry?
"Cripple old lady...... Well, let's go with my mother. The blind man was helpless, so he walked to Princess Tianxiang's side.
"Xiang'er, don't cry, we have to bury the mother quickly, the enemy will soon catch up. The blind man said with tenderness and reason.
At this moment, Tianxiang's liver and intestines were broken, and she secretly made an oath in her heart: This hatred must be avenged! Don't look at her petite and delicate appearance, but her mother taught her to be strong at a very young age, and if the royal descendants are not strong, they will either wait for death or be exiled.
So Tianxiang nodded, knowing that this was not the time to be sad, and if she wanted to take revenge, she had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach!
So with the help of the blind mother-in-law and the lame grandfather, a small grave appeared, there was no stone tablet or anything, if the name was left, it would definitely be destroyed by the enemy, which would make Tianxiang Niangniang die and be at peace.
"Alright, we have to go. As soon as the blind man finished speaking, in the distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves galloping, and the blind man and the lame man were astonished, "They are coming so fast!"
So the blind man and the lame man pulled Tianxiang left and right and began to run wildly, they are not simple servants, they all have a little ability to protect the master's housekeeper, but the enemy is too insidious Tianxiang Niangniang was unfortunately poisoned.
The wind of hula under the feet of the blind man and the lame man flew and pulled Princess Tianxiang to step on the grass like flying, and after a day and a night of running, finally left the enemy a certain distance, and it was safe for the time being.
But in front of them is a dilemma, an 800-mile-wide river is in front of them, this river is a long river, it is the boundary between north and south, and if you cross the long river, you will be in the south, maybe you will be really safe.
But the rolling river is not to mention people, even if the boat has to be weak and windy to cross, at this time it is the time when the wind and waves are high, and those boatmen who live by ferrying are also cowering at home.
"What's the matter, mother-in-law, do you have an idea?" asked the lame man anxiously, although he had a safe distance from the enemy, but if he didn't cross the long river, he would be captured.
"What are you arguring about? Do you see if there is a boat over there? If it is here, there must be a boat nearby, let's find out. The blind man looked around, and vaguely saw a few things that looked like boats, so he asked, pointing.
So following the direction pointed by the blind man, both Tianxiang and the lame man cast expectant eyes.
"Mother-in-law, your eyes are so powerful, and you are really a boat. Tianxiang shouted excitedly, there are several wooden boats tied to the stakes on the shore, although the boat is not big, but it can definitely cross people.
Then the three of them walked to the other side, and the boat did exist, but there was no one.
"That's nature, do you think I'm blind? I can see better than anyone else! Look for it, is it a woods or a plain? There must be a boat house around here. The blind man continued.
......
......
"It's the plain, mother-in-law, don't look at it, you can see the head at a glance, there is no boat at all!"
The lame man replied helplessly, the ground was full of knee-high grass, and if there was a boatman, he would definitely not be able to hide it.
"Cripple, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't there be boats if there are boats?" Xiang'er, or do you want to take a look, are there any boats?" the mother-in-law chirped.
"Mother-in-law, there really is no boat. Tianxiang also said disappointedly, in addition to grass on the grassland, there is still grass, and I am afraid that there are boatmen who are thousands of miles away.
"This is a strange thing, there is a boat and no one, is this man dead?" said the blind man in shock.
"Why don't we give it a try?" said the cripple helplessly, this is also no way.
"Grandpa, you can row?...... No, no, no, with such high wind and waves, even if you can row, you can't sail. Tianxiang said regretfully, it seems that the sky is going to kill her!
