CHAPTER XXXVII
When they arrived at Gao Zhenbei's hut, Feng Ge found that Gao Zhenbei was not at home, only Jin Huang was silently lying on the bed pretending to be her standard vegetative person.
"What about the person who watered you?" Feng Ge stood outside the window, deliberately teasing.
Jin Huang's eyelids moved slightly, and he smiled: "It sounds like someone called him, so he ran out like this, and he didn't forget to pour me a bowl of medicine before leaving." ”
The house is still the same as the last time I saw it, there are no extra furnishings, just clean and tidy.
"Look at how you can endure lying motionless on the bed for so long, according to me, you should be fine, no matter how bad it is, the flesh on your legs can't support you to walk. ”
Feng Ge was by no means alarmist, she did find that Jin Huang's legs were much thinner than when she first met, which was not a good sign.
"Don't worry, I'm a person who has practiced kung fu for more than ten years, and I can't waste more than ten years of kung fu just because I have been lying down for so few days. Jin Huang smiled, "If you don't believe it, I'll stand up and take two steps to show you." ”
After taking two steps, the confident smile on Jin Huang's face disappeared, she clearly felt that her physical strength and physical support could not be compared with the past, if Guan Linsen won that day she used a little means, then if she compared it now, Guan Linsen must have thrown her far away.
Seeing that Jin Huang's expression was wrong, Feng Ge hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing?" Jin Huang hurriedly disguised.
Suddenly, she turned over and jumped on the bed, her eyes were closed, and she was motionless pretending to be a vegetative person, Feng Ge turned around, only to find that it was Gao Zhenbei who came back.
Seeing so many people in the room, Gao Zhenbei was a little surprised, and when he saw that it was Feng Ge, he asked, "Who are you?"
Feng Ge shook the customs clearance order in front of him: "My family just sent the customs clearance order, how is it? Can I go to the Western Xia Kingdom with you now to discuss business?"
"Well, yes, then, I wonder when the girl can leave?"
"There's no time to wait, let's go now. "Feng Ge can't wait to see the craftsmen of the Western Xia Kingdom immediately, the next moment he can get a high-quality clockwork, and the next moment he can mass-produce a large number of sparring puppets, Daheng Kingdom will be strong and strong from now on, even if Beiyan, Xixia and Dongning join forces, they can only tremble in front of Dahengguo.
"From here to the Western Xia Kingdom, it will take three or five days, and the girl plans to bring nothing and just go?"
"It's going to take three or five days?" Feng Ge's concept of the Western Xia Kingdom completely stayed at "It's next door to the Northern Xuanying, and you can walk for an hour", completely ignoring that it was only the border of the Western Xia Kingdom, and craftsmen would not squat on the border line and wait for business.
It takes three or five days to walk over, and it must take the same amount of time to come back, and waiting for the completion of the clockwork in the middle, I don't know how long it will take, maybe one or two days, maybe ten days and half a month, even if you don't bring anything, at least you have to withdraw some money, speaking of which, this period of time has been borrowed and lived in the county government, but it has not been spent for a long time, Feng Ge said anxiously: "It's good right away." ”
Lin Xiangyu stayed in Gao Zhenbei's house, it was said that he was waiting for Feng Ge, in fact, his eyes looked straight at Jin Huang's face lying on the bed, after not seeing the sun for so long, her face faded from the pink on her cheeks, almost no blood, glowing with a cold white light, it looked like it was carved from white jade, her nose was still so straight, and her lips soaked in medicinal soup were probably the most vibrant place on this face now.
After lying down for so long, she must be bored to death, I don't know if this Beiyan person has bullied her, whether he has neglected her, whether he has ...... Plotting against her.
Judging from Gao Zhenbei's attitude towards her, she should not have been abused, but the more this is the case, the more Lin Xiangyu feels bad in his heart, hmph, this Beiyan person, who has nothing to do with it, ran to the border of Daheng Kingdom to offer courtesy, either traitor or thief!
If he had enough authority, he would definitely drive this Beiyan person out of the country, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
Since Xiao Yanran strictly governed the army, it was a fly that flew through the Guancheng, it was not so easy, this Beiyan man was able to pass through the Guancheng of the Beixuan Camp, which means that he is in the Beixuan Camp and has a relationship.
And entering the gate of this Feng County is another checkpoint, which is under the command of the soldiers under the rule of the prince of law, but he also came in like this.
didn't hide it, and came in with his Beiyan face without care.
Not only did he come in, but he also brought a girl from Dahengguo, or he ...... I have a little bit of a girl I like.
In the past, when he was in the county office, Jin Huang always walked sideways in front of him, and he had never been like now, lying on the bed weakly, which was really a novel experience, but this experience was not for him, but for Gao Zhenbei.
It's very angry to think about it, Lin Xiangyu is so big, and for the first time he really understands what "jealousy" means in the book.
Hmph, let you be happy for a few days, she will still be by my side in the end.
Lin Xiangyu didn't know where the courage came from, in short, he believed it so much.
If Jin Huang could see the thoughts in his head, he might have lifted his skull and poured two jugs of water into it.
Feng Ge said quickly, sure enough, she was carrying a huge burden on her back, so she ran in: "Okay, let's go, my horse is tied outside." ”
She ran in a hurry, her face was flushed, and she looked very cute, Gao Zhenbei smiled and poured a bowl of water for her: "Drink some water first." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jin Huang lying on the bed: "It would be nice if she could run like this." ”
The words are full of regret and anxiety.
Lin Xiangyu hummed a song in his heart: "Hey, I've seen her jump and jump, haven't you seen it, hahaha, you lost." ”
The sun outside had already reached the top of his head, Gao Zhenbei took out his simple luggage from the cabinet: "Let's go now, we should be able to catch the first accommodation, let's go." ”
Saying that, he went out to the stable behind the house to lead the horse, Lin Xiangyu hurriedly chased out and asked, "That...... What about that girl?"
"Didn't you come here just for her?" Gao Zhenbei looked at him, as if the question he asked was simply super ridiculous.
Although Lin Xiangyu's purpose is really like this, it is really ...... to be said all of a sudden It's a little uncomfortable.
Seeing his uncertain face, Gao Zhenbei fell into deep thought: "Could it be that I guessed wrong, then I have to find someone to take care of her again." ”
"Hey, don't don't, no, no, no, you guessed right, it's just. ”
"Hmm. The expression on Gao Zhenbei's face did not change in particular, and there was no ridicule at all. If it was Jin Huang, Lin Xiangyu must have been scolded to the sky at this time, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Gao Zhenbei told Lin Xiangyu where the commonly used things in the house were, and also explained the details of how to take care of Jin Huang, Lin Xiangyu nodded again and again, eager to send him away immediately with a small handkerchief.
Seeing the back of the two of them riding away, Lin Xiangyu turned around happily and found Jin Huang standing behind him, which startled him.
"I have to go back to the county government and take a shower first, I haven't taken a bath for so many days, and I'm going to stink to death. Jin Huang tugged at his clothes in disgust.
Straight out of the city gate, Feng Ge This is the first time to go to Guancheng from the serious road, and the previous round trips are all tunnels. At this time, it is the season of spring flowers, and when I think of when I went out of Beijing, it was still dripping into ice, and now it is full of flowers, and I can't help but feel that time flies so fast.
Everything in nature is a thriving scene, and even her mood is much better.
"It's the city in front of you, Miss Ge, please take out the customs clearance order for future reference. ”
"Okay. Feng Ge took out a customs clearance order from his personal purse, and when he looked up again, he could already see the checkpoint set up by the soldiers in Guancheng in front of him.
Feng Ge dismounted with Gao Zhen and led the horse to the side of the checkpoint.
"Yo, Master Gao, are you going back to Beiyan or going to Xixia today?"
"Go to Xixia to talk about some business. ”
"Hey, okay, this girl is Gao Gongzi's...... Hey, are you ......" That little soldier was exactly what Feng Ge had seen when he first disguised himself in the barracks, he looked at Feng Ge very familiarly, but he couldn't remember it for a while, Feng Ge was afraid that he would reveal his identity and say that she had been to Guancheng or something, but he was afraid that Gao Zhenbei would be vigilant, maybe he wouldn't take her there.
I couldn't think of any good way to stop him for a while, but it happened that Xiao Yanran came over to patrol the post, and when he saw Feng Ge shaking his head at him slightly, he understood and said to Xiao Bing: "How many people have cleared the customs today?"
"General, there are twenty-six people. Twenty of them went to Western Xia to do business, and six went to Northern Yan to visit relatives. ”
"All have customs clearance orders?"
"Yes, the six people who went to Beiyan are all residents of Feng County, who often come and go, and they all know each other. ”
"Those who know should also be strictly investigated, don't get acquainted with people and recognize relatives if you have nothing to do, and enforce the law impartially at the post. ”
"Yes. Xiao Bing was so frightened by Xiao Yanran, where did he dare to talk to Feng Ge about anything, hurry up and clear the customs order, and let her go.
How far did he walk out of the checkpoint, Gao Zhenbei suddenly asked, "That person just now, do you know you?"
"Maybe, I've been in Feng County for a long time, maybe he met me in the county seat. Thinking that he was almost revealed his identity just now, Feng Ge's heart is still pounding non-stop.
This road is full of wild natural scenery, at first it looks quite beautiful, after a long time, it is not interesting, Feng Ge began to be a little drowsy, little by little, and finally almost fell off the horse.
"Come down, rest for a while. Gao Zhenbei said.
In front of him is a sparkling lake, the water is clear, Feng Ge looked very happy in his heart, got off the horse, and rushed towards the lake, but was grabbed by Gao Zhenbei by the back collar and caught back like a chicken: "Don't run around, there is a mudflat in front." ”
In order to confirm his words, Gao Zhenbei picked up a stone the size of a human head from the ground and threw it forward at will, the seemingly hard ground, just like that, the stone smashed a collapsed hole, the mud fluttered and rolled bubbles, and the stone quickly sank and could no longer be seen.
"It's the same with people going down. Gao Zhenbei said calmly.
Feng Ge had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but gasp, if he had rushed over with such cheers just now, then he was the one who suffered the catastrophe now.
"It's scary. Feng Ge felt scared for a while.
Gao Zhenbei smiled: "It's nothing, mountains and swamps, no matter how unpredictable they are, there are certain rules to follow, compared to people's hearts, it is simply too much simpler." ”
Strange, how could he say such a thing, looking at Gao Zhenbei's appearance, he is a rough and unrestrained Beiyan person, why is he also worried about the complexity of human nature?
Seeing Feng Ge staring at himself thoughtfully, Gao Zhenbei explained: "When doing business, there are too many things to deceive, although I have been doing it for a long time, those roads are very clear, but when things come to an end, I still have to pretend to be one, and even more, sometimes, I have to take the initiative to jump into the pit dug by others, and it is tiring enough to think about it." ”
Feng Ge has not yet encountered something that has to jump into other people's pits, but maybe his father has encountered it, well, this matter should be written down, and he will go back to the palace in the future to ask his father if he has jumped over the pit.
"Forget it, in front of such a good view, don't talk about these annoying things, do you want to go to the lake to wash your face?"
Of course, I think that the sun is about to dry out all the way, otherwise I wouldn't have almost jumped into the mud puddle just now when I looked at the lake.
"Come with me. Gao Zhenbei walked forward, and he instructed Feng Ge: "Follow me carefully, where I step on it, you also step on it, don't step on the wrong one, some places the mud shell has not been sunburned and solid, and it will break when you step on it, be careful." ”
"Uh-huh. When it comes to the safety of his own life, Feng Ge nodded desperately, no one would joke with his own life.
As Gao Zhenbei went around and around, and finally arrived at the lake, Feng Ge squatted down, stretched out his hands to the cool lake water, couldn't help but let out a pleasant sigh, and picked up a handful of water, and buried his face in the water, it was so comfortable that the heat that had been accumulated for half a day was completely gone.
There were still small fish swimming around in the lake, and Feng Ge suddenly remembered that Taifu had taught her: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no friends." ”
Well, it seems that what Taifu said is not all right, or is this water actually not clear......
Gao Zhenbei put up a canopy and looked at the position of the sun: "If you have rested, let's set off again, now that the sun is in the west, if we don't hurry up, we may not be able to catch up with the sun." ”
"Well, you can go. ”
Gao Zhenbei immersed the water bag in the lake water, and while waiting for the water bag to fill, he said, "Well, you wait, you will follow me for a while......"
The first time, I found that Feng Ge had already followed the road he had just come to the horse's side.
"I didn't expect that after just one walk, you can remember it completely. ”
"That's natural, it's not that hard. Feng Ge tilted his head and smiled at him.
"Isn't the girl born to forget?" asked Gao Zhenbei.
Feng Ge smiled and looked down at the mud floor: "Where and where, I don't have this ability, it's just that after we walked by, our footprints were left on these dirt." Just look at the footprints, wouldn't it?"
Gao Zhenbei lowered his head, on this muddy ground, the footprints were chaotic, some of the footprints had stepped on the hard mud shell, but with the change of the water level of the lake, many places have changed from mud shells that can walk people, and have become swamps, if she can't remember the shape of the footprints and just follow the footprints casually, it is very likely to fall into the swamp.
"It's also very powerful. Gao Zhenbei sincerely admired.
Feng Ge turned over and got on his horse: "That's nature." ”
Ho, this little girl is not polite at all, the good Daheng women are all gentle and frugal, Gao Zhenbei smiled, and his legs were clamped between the horse's belly: "Drive!"
The two horses galloped forward, one after the other.
There was no grassland in front of him, there was no lake, only a yellow, bare Gobi, Feng Ge raised his head, and saw that the sun above his head had turned into a bright red, the light had decreased sharply, and the naked eye could already see directly, and in another hour and a half, it would completely disappear behind the sand dunes in the west.
But where is the legendary place to stay?
He ran a long way away, but he still didn't see it.
Feng Ge couldn't help but feel a little panicked, I didn't know what kind of medicine Gao Zhenbei was selling in the gourd.
"Well, where are we staying tonight?" Feng Ge asked.
Gao Zhenbei pointed with a horsewhip: "It's in front, look at it and it's coming." ”
"Oh......" Feng Ge replied casually, looking into the distance, but in the direction that Gao Zhenbei pointed, there were no ghosts, where was the hotel? Feng Ge flashed through the countless folk stories he had seen.
For example, Gao Zhenbei is actually a male monster who sucks people's spirits, and he deliberately abducted himself, just to suck himself dry in this desert.
After thinking about it, it didn't seem right, it seemed that he was pestering Gao Zhenbei to come, and the reason why he wanted to come was because the puppet made by Lin Xiangyu needed clockwork made by Xixia craftsmen.
Ah, so, Lin Xiangyu and Gao Zhenbei are in a gang, they are a pair of male monsters who absorb people's spirits, Lin Xiangyu is responsible for making people take the bait, and Gao Zhenbei is responsible for taking people to remote places to suck them dry.
Well, it doesn't seem right, it's really troublesome to take it to such a far place, so it's better to do it in the inaccessible place of the Four Elephants.
Feng Ge had already made up 100,000 words of how the two male monsters met and fell in love, and finally came to the world hand in hand to harm the story of the gods and monsters, and suddenly felt that Gao Xuanwu slowed down, and the horse's hooves "moved" forward, and he said to Feng Ge: "Slow down, don't bump into people." ”
Bumping into people?
There are not even ghosts here, how can they bump into people.
Turning a sand dune, there's literally something moving ahead.
Feng Ge's eyes widened and he looked over, hey, it's true, it's a person in white clothes, in order to prevent sunburn, even his head and face are wrapped in a white cloth, this person is mixed in front of the yellow and white sand dunes, she really can't see it, if it weren't for Gao Zhenbei reminding her to slow down, maybe she really just hit it directly.
"Ah, guests from afar, first of all, please accept my most sincere blessings......" The man greeted Gao Zhenbei and Feng Ge's horses, bowed deeply, Gao Zhenbei dismounted, Feng Ge also followed, the man was holding a sign in his hand, which read, "Welcome to Huangsha Inn." ”
Huangsha Inn is really a name for the occasion.
"Woohoo. In Feng Ge's big baggage, there was a sudden sound of a dog barking, and the head of a black dog struggled out of the baggage, ah, finally breathed out of the free and fresh air, Huzi couldn't hold back his excitement, and let out a long howl of the moon at the sand dunes.
Gao Zhenbei turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You also brought a dog?"
"Hey, I didn't bring it, it had to come with me, I really had no choice," Feng Ge of course wouldn't say, this is what she took to strengthen her courage, the dog is the most spiritual, in case it encounters danger in the middle of the night, and the human has not yet felt it, it will call two warnings first, how good it is.
So, she just brought the tiger out.
"Guest officer, you have to charge extra money for bringing a dog. ”
"No problem, I'll give. Feng Ge is very calm, isn't it just to charge more, how much more money can you charge if you have an extra dog?
