Chapter 582: The Vast Snow Field (4)
The man probably felt that he was not good at talking, so he left the opportunity to speak to his son.
The eldest son said: "We don't know much, it's all the words left by our ancestors. We've grazed in this area every year, and we've never been to the west. I heard that people who go up there will be out of breath, and some people who fall asleep will never wake up again. We never go, only those who know kung fu can go up. ”
A meal can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
Shen Nishang returned to the felt bag with the three maids, and the three girls were still a little excited.
Although it is not the first time to go far away, this time not only went out with Shen Nisheng, but also experienced a completely different customs and customs.
Even if the journey was hard, it couldn't suppress the enthusiasm of the little girls.
"These herders are so nice. Yuchun brought hot water to Shen Nishang to burn her feet, and the work in her hands did not stop, and her mouth did not stop, "He didn't ask us for silver, and he slaughtered sheep for us to eat." ”
Shen Nishang smiled.
Nomads are simple and enthusiastic by nature, and although she knew it in her previous life, it was the first time she had experienced it for herself.
This family is indeed very kind and welcoming.
"Well, that's good. Shen Nishang nodded and pushed Yuchun away, "I'll wash it myself." ”
Yuchun mixed the water and washed Shen Nishang******* just come here, soak in the hot water by the way, and warm it up. Yuchun smiled and said, "Miss's feet are not dirty." ”
Yuchun's hand had already reached into the water, revealing a comfortable expression.
Shen Nishang had to be left to her.
"Miss, don't we really give you money?" asked Xiao Cui as she turned her head while making the bed.
Shen Nishang thought for a while: "Open that box and I'll take a look." ”
There is also a very shy eight-year-old girl in the herdsman's family, and Shen Nishang wants to open the box to see if there is anything suitable for children.
They came out with a lot of luggage on this trip, and this official suitcase was used by Shen Nishang to hold some important things that could not be carried on his body, and he always carried it with him.
The box was opened, and there were some silver tickets and jewelry on the upper mezzanine, and under the mezzanine, they were neatly placed, one large and one small sandalwood boxes, and some medicine jade bottles.
Seeing Shen Nisheng's gaze fall on the smaller sandalwood box, the three maids exchanged glances, and this box contained the piece of Jin Nan left by Rong Su after cremation.
No matter where Shen Nishang goes, she will carry this box with her.
Knowing that Shen Nishang thought of Rong Su, every time she saw this box, Shen Nishang was so silent, she didn't say anything, and she didn't show much sadness. But for the three maids, Shen Nishang's expression made them inexplicably more uncomfortable.
After the three maids exchanged glances, the second girl took a small step forward to block it, intentionally or unintentionally, and turned her head to ask Shen Nishang, "What is Miss looking for?"
Shen Nishang came back to her senses, smiled, and thought about it, it really seemed that there was nothing to give away, and most of the ascetic preparations that came out this time were some necessary living materials.
"Pick out the little girl's jewelry. Shen Nishang thought about it and said, "Don't be too eye-catching." ”
If the things sent are too good, the little girl will not be able to use them, and she may even cause trouble.
Xiaocui stepped forward and picked out a pair of beaded earrings with Erya, after Shen Nishang nodded, the two planned to close the box, Shen Nishang called the two of them again, and asked the two to bring the larger box.
The larger box was the one that Elder Ling gave to Ling Fei, Ling Wen's codex was carried by Ling Fei, and the rest of the sandalwood box containing lotus flowers was handed over to Shen Nishang for safekeeping.
Shen Nishang opened the box, the fist-sized lotus flower was crystal clear, and when facing the oil lamp, there was a faint touch of red and yellow, and the figure of the small fish in the crystal was faintly vivid.
"Miss, is this really salt? Why can't it be melted?" Xiao Cui squatted in front of Shen Nishang with her head on her face, looking curious.
Regarding the connection of this crystalline lotus, Shen Nishang did not hide it from the three girls.
There are some knowledge that they may never use in their lives, but Shen Nishang hopes that they can know more.
"Because there's something else in it besides salt. "And it's formed by the deposition of seawater, which is mostly similar to seawater, but it's also different." The temperature on the snowfield is low, and a lot has changed over the millennium, just like the fish bones in it, if you take it out, it will look like a stone. As long as time goes on long enough, nothing is set in stone. ”
"I really didn't expect that Tianzhu Mountain would be the sea. Yuchun dried Shen Nishang's feet, although he had heard Shen Nishang's explanation, he still felt unimaginable, smiled, and took the basin out to pour water.
When I walked to the door, I saw the red-faced little girl who was probing her brain, and when she saw Yuchun, the little girl lowered her head shyly, Yuchun laughed, turned her head and called Xiaocui, wanting Xiaocui to take the little girl in.
But the little girl ran away shyly.
When Yuchun came back from pouring the water for washing her feet, the little girl poked her head out of the felt bag again.
Yuchun returned to the felt bag and said a word to Shen Nisheng, and walked out with beaded flower earrings.
After a short time, Yuchun came back, and Dao had already given the bead flower to the little girl.
Even after a day of travel, the four of them cleaned up and went to sleep.
On the other side, in the herdsman's family's big felt bag, the eldest son returned the beaded earrings in his hand to his sister.
The hostess was still a little uneasy: "These earrings are too expensive......"
The man looked at his son.
The eldest son lowered his head and thought about it, sighed, and touched his sister's red face that showed a little ignorance, "If the sister likes it, take it, and make a dowry when she grows up in the future." They are old and young, and they don't look like bad people. ”
"Then where does Zheng Shizi still say it?" the father asked, "Zheng Shizi said that it was they who should pay attention, right?"
The eldest son nodded: "Nine people, five men and four girls, it should be them." Shizi said that we would meet later, and I would go. ”
"Also, Zheng Shizi saved our family's life, and I can't regret what I promised. Be careful, although this group of guests looks good, but sometimes they can't be sure, don't offend. The man said.
"I know. The eldest son bowed his head, thought about it, and comforted his parents again, "Zheng Shizi and the county lord's sister and brother are also here to save the princess, not bad people." ”
The man nodded and stopped talking.
The night was deep, and the snow was falling.
In the railing, cattle, sheep and horses were huddled together to keep warm.
A thickly wrapped figure of a man left the big felt bag, first went to look at the livestock in the pen, pulled down the linoleum on the top to block the wind and snow, tidied it up, and then went away.
After walking for two quarters of an hour, when they arrived at the agreed land, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared under the leeward hill not far away.
The two are the brother and sister who met Shen Nishang and his party at the inn a few days ago.
