Chapter 21: The Hero's Wife (19)
Xiao Tu heard Liu Xiao's shout and stepped on him with a smooth foot, and was about to step on it a few more times, but reacted that Su Liang and Su Shan were still there, and suddenly put his foot on Liu Xiao's chest, and he didn't know whether to step on it or take it back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Silently looked back at the expressions of the two children, but he didn't expect Su Liang Su Shan to stare at her with a look of adoration, and his eyes were shining.
Xiao Tu couldn't figure out what these two human children were thinking for a while.
So he took his foot back, and Xiao Tu pulled the rope in his hand casually, and said, "Let's go." ”
The group was silently and silently marched towards the extreme north land that the fox order slave said.
With the local guide of the fox order slave, Xiaotu's journey did not encounter any obstacles, and he went all the way to the far north.
On this day, the sun gradually sank in the west.
The days are always much shorter than the nights, but the sun is getting brighter.
Xiao Tu stood on a small mound and looked out at the sunset on the horizon in the distance.
The western sky was centered on a red, and the light gradually dispersed, and the orange halo covered most of it, and even the top of the head was rendered a full yellow, the color was warm and brilliant, and even the grass on the ground was also glowing softly, this scene was really dazzling.
Xiao Tu's eyes were full of smiles, the scenery in the human world is still quite interesting.
The fox order slave walked over, stood quietly beside her, and said for a while, "Miss Xi, are you watching the sunset?
Xiaotu glanced sideways at him and nodded approvingly.
Several people have been walking together for so many days, and they have some understanding of their temperament, so they have already untied their ropes.
At this time, everyone is ready to rest here for a night before setting off, He Sheng and He Ming are setting up tents, and Su Liang and Su Shan are having fun with them on the side.
The fox order slave suddenly stretched out his hand and brushed a strand of hair from Xiaotu's ear that was blown to his face by the wind behind his ear, and then naturally put down his hand and said, "I will see Su Xi tomorrow, I haven't asked you, what are you going to do?"
Xiaotu touched the hair on his sideburns, blinked his eyes, and said casually: "Just ask him if he wants us." ”
The fox order slave looked up at her, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "Such a beautiful and virtuous wife, such a well-behaved and sensible pair of children, how could he not want it." ”
Xiaotu sneered.
Years of wind and frost have long made Yang Tuya's originally beautiful appearance vulgar. If he hadn't come by himself, Su Xi, who had returned to his hometown in fine clothes, would have seen Yang Tuya's old and saltless appearance.
The fox slave didn't know what Xiao Tu was thinking, so he comforted him casually and quietly watched with Xiao Tu as the sun gradually sank into the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.
When the last ray of light jumped off the horizon, Xiaotu sighed softly, stood up and said, "Rest, we will continue to rush tomorrow." When I see Su Xi, I will let you go. ”
The fox slave nodded silently.
……
Early the next morning, Xiao Tu put on an extremely old makeup under the strange looks of the fox order and the slaves, just like Yang Tuya's appearance before, and painted Su Liang Su Shan's complexion sallow, and his clothes were also torn into a half-old and not new look, and then led Su Liang Su Shan to inquire about the news from the residents here.
"Auntie, may I ask, is this the Far North?"
The object of Xiaotu's questioning was a very capable-looking lady, who held a long whip in her hand and was shouting at her sheep not to run around.
Hearing Xiaotu's question, the eldest lady's eyes narrowed, and she said, "Far North?" Further north here, I haven't heard of a village. ”
Xiaotu smiled: "Great. Lady, I wonder if there is a place to stay here?"
The eldest lady said enthusiastically: "Is this the first time you have come here? Is there something wrong? Generally, few outsiders come here." ”
Xiaotu nodded and said, "Yes, we're here to find someone." ”
The eldest lady took the head sheep and said, "Who are you looking for?
Xiao Tu pursed his lips and smiled: "I'll find someone named Su Xi." ”
The eldest lady's eyes changed, and she said strangely: "Su Xi, what kind of Su Xi are you looking for, what are you looking for?"
Xiao Tu's eyes shone with water, and he choked up and said, "When Su Xi left home, it was the year of the weak crown. He was a head taller than me, about that tall, with clear eyebrows, a very gentle disposition, and a great talent. ”
Xiao Tu gestured with his hand as he spoke, and pushed Su Liang and Su Shan in front of him, and said with a sad look on his face: "I married Su Xi when I was young, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him.
When I heard that he was shepherding sheep in the far north, I brought my two children with me to ask him why he had left us behind. ”
Hearing Xiaotu's narration, the eldest lady's eyes were inexplicably full of sympathy, and she said with some hesitation: "We did have a person named Su Xi here two years ago......
Xiaotu was pleasantly surprised, and said continuously: "Really? Where is he? Can the eldest lady take me to meet him? I can pay you." ”
As she spoke, she took out a few very simple-looking hairpins from her baggage and handed them to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and took it unceremoniously, and said, "Look at you, it's not polite." I'll take you to this little thing. Just one thing, I'm going to tell you in advance. ”
Xiaotu's face was firm, and he said, "Is there something wrong with Su Xi?"
The eldest lady sighed slightly, looked at Xiaotu's eyes full of pity, and said, "This Su Xi here looks and is very similar to what you described, but this Su Xi here has already married a wife last year......
A flash of light flashed in Xiao Tu's eyes.
How to say it, this kind of feeling is really unexpected, Xiao Tu couldn't help but show a sneer.
The eldest lady looked at Xiaotu with a strange expression, and thought that she had been hit too hard, so she said with some worry: "Don't tell him that I took you there when you go to find Su Xianggong." ”
Xiaotu covered his face and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, you just need to tell me how to go to Su Xi's house, and I'll find the specifics myself." ”
The eldest lady touched the hairpin given by Xiao Tugang in her arms, and finally agreed: "Speaking of which, Su Xianggong's house is the largest house in this land, so you will walk along this road, turn left when you see the second fork, and then go straight, there is a pair of stone lions at the door of the house, that is." ”
Xiao Tu thanked him, and asked casually, "The Su Xianggong you said doesn't seem to be a simple person?"
The eldest lady's expression turned pale, she looked around, leaned into Xiaotu's ear and said, "Big sister, you can't talk nonsense here!"
Xiaotu raised his eyebrows curiously: "Oh? Why?"
The eldest lady lowered her voice and said, "I heard that this Su Xianggong is the one who was personally sent to shepherd the sheep......"
