Chapter V: Inquiries
Although the town is small and the inn is small, its bathing facilities are famous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is only because the owner of this inn is very attentive, he knows that whether it is to enter and exit the mountains and mountains, it is inevitable to come to his small shop to stay, in short, the wind and dust are inevitable all the way, so the store not only always has hot water, but also unexpectedly opened a bathhouse. In order to relieve the fatigue of the guests, the bathhouse is also equipped with a number of skilled masters to massage people's backs. It costs 10 wen at a time. Of course, Sima Die, as a daughter, naturally can't enjoy this treatment. But there was no need for her to ask, at the moment when she was eating, the shopkeeper had already automatically and consciously carried two large buckets of hot water and placed them in her room for her to bathe. The fee is free of charge, and it is considered a bonus for staying at the hotel.
For those who are tired of the day, it is the ultimate pleasure to be able to take a comfortable hot bath. Sima Die soaked in the bathtub until the water temperature became cooler, and then he was willing to get up, changed into a set of clean clothes, and finally felt that life was nothing more than this. It doesn't get much better than that.
"Knock knock". There were three knocks on the door. Immediately afterwards, I heard Sima Jian's voice calling outside: "Is my sister there?"
"The door is not bolted, my brother just comes in. "The second child of the Shicai store came up to pack up the bath water and went away behind closed doors. Sima Die was so tired that she leaned on the head of the bed and didn't want to move. I guessed that my brother might come to talk to me, so I didn't bother to do it. Naturally, her behavior was ruthlessly preached by Sima Jian, saying that going out at this time is no better than at home. The inn is also a messy place, and she has a daughter's house, so she shouldn't be so careless...... Sima Die coaxed for a while, and finally calmed down this nagging brother.
At this time, Sima Die wore a light yellow shirt and leaned lazily on the head of the bed. Freshly bathed skin is snow-white. A small face was flushed, tender and tender, and the long hair was loosely tied behind his head. Even Sima Jian, the elder brother, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it. I don't know how many men will be heartbroken for their sister in the future.
"What is my brother looking for me?"
"It's nothing, just come and see, you're used to it. "In fact, Sima Die has been a wild girl running around the mountains since she was a child, how can her body be so delicate? What's more, when she came out of the village and arrived here, she also walked for three days and two nights, and these two nights were all camped out for dinner. She didn't scream hard. It's just that Sima Jian has loved his sister since he was a child, and he is always afraid that she will be wronged. Sima Die often ridiculed him for not being his brother, but his second mother.
Sima Die smiled and said: "The room in this inn is bigger than my own room, and the bed is softer than my own bed. What am I not used to?"
Sima Jian smiled "hehe". Knowing that this is his sister making fun of him for worrying too much. But when she spoke, her little hands unconsciously beat her legs gently, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes. He said softly: "I'm tired of riding a horse today." Don't worry, there are carriages and horses in this town, and I will rent you a carriage when I turn around, and when the time comes, you can recuperate in the car with peace of mind, and you will no longer have to bump on the horse. ”
In fact, although Sima Jian had this idea because he was afraid that she would be tired, this reason was no longer the first consideration at this time. Especially when he met the cavalry halfway through, Sima Die was blown off the veil, and he felt that getting a carriage was a top priority, the top priority. After all, hiding in the car, her appearance is even more difficult for people to see. Only then will they be less likely to get into trouble and safer.
The world is in turmoil right now. He Sima Jian is just a small businessman, and he can't protect his sister. If the group of knights you met on the road today saw the appearance of the girl, once they had a little bad thoughts...... He only thought about it for a moment, and he felt the pores all over his body shudder. At the moment when the knight on the white horse turned around, only Sima Jian knew that his heart was completely still. It wasn't until the man galloped away that he came back to his senses. In fact, the fate of his brother and sister was only a blink of an eye at that time.
At first, Sima Jian gave the veil to his sister, but he was worried that the road would not be smooth. But after encountering that group of knights, he realized that his consideration was really not enough. He even felt that it was right or wrong for him to hastily bring his sister out of the village? However, no matter what, the road had come here, and there was no turning back from opening the bow, and there was no turning back from getting on the horse. Just want to escort my sister home safely, otherwise, just in case, I am afraid that he will not be able to atone for his sins.
"Brother, when we met that group of people on the road today, why did we dismount and avoid each other?" In Sima Die's view, this behavior was strange: the soldiers and horses coming from the opposite side were already menacing, and if the other party had no bad intentions, it would be good to say, but if the other party was not good, they dismounted, wouldn't they even have a chance to turn around and run away? From the moment they dismounted, weren't their lives already fish and meat on someone else's chopping board? Although judging from the gap between the two sides, even if they rode horses, they could not necessarily outrun other people's war horses. But talking is better than nothing. In times of crisis, four legs are always faster than two.
This alone has already seen that although the elder brother is a businessman, although he looks brightly dressed and has a lot of money, but in terms of status, he is also similar to an ant.
Sima Jian smiled bitterly in his heart. The dark sister is really as wise as a torch. But in the world of great controversy, human life is as cheap as mustard, and no one can avoid it. You say that ordinary civilians are not willing to take their own lives, but they can still avoid one or two dangers to some extent; you say that they businessmen can earn a few cents, but if they want to make money, they will inevitably maneuver between the major forces, and the so-called conventional rules are just empty words, and if people do not abide by them, they will not abide by them, so what can you do? However, if you want to say that those forces that divide one side and occupy the mountains as kings can live freely and be free to enmity and enmity at will, you can also know that this land is so vast that every day different forces rise or die, annex or kill. After hundreds of years of rise and fall, those who die under the sword are a hundred times and a thousand times higher than the flesh of a mermaid?...... In short, the way of the world is like this. To be alive is already a great happiness.
Sima Die caught a glimpse of a pleat on the hem of his clothes, stretched out his hand to smooth it silently, a pair of beautiful eyes turned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother." Who are those people today?"
Sima Jian's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and his gaze paused for a moment on the girl's face. He was able to survive in the world in front of him, and accumulate a large fortune from a kid with nothing in the mountain village to the present, and he was by no means a brainless fool. At least he has the ability to observe words and feelings: although Sima Die is also smart, he is far less sophisticated than his brother. She opened her mouth three times and twice, all of which circled around the group of knights, which had already aroused the alarm in Sima Jian's heart. He only paid attention to it, and the slightly strange look on Sima Die's face couldn't escape his eyes.
Sima Jian had a slap in his heart. Secretly: "No, this girl's appearance is too wrong." What the hell is going on?"
He suddenly remembered the glance of the white knight who caught his sister's silk scarf and looked back. I have to say that this picture has a deep imprint on him, otherwise he can't just run into his mind casually. At that time, he was full of nervousness, and he was only afraid that the other party would have any bad thoughts. But he didn't pay attention, what was his sister's expression at that time?
At that time, he walked in front of several people, and after the group of knights galloped past, the eyes of the group followed backwards, and the figures of several people fell in his eyes without exception. But since they were all facing away from him, they naturally couldn't see the look on their sister's face. Sima Jian thought about it carefully, and finally had to give up his plan helplessly.
Anyway, if there is no evidence, don't speculate about the girl. She's her own sister after all......
Suddenly. Sima Jian's eyes fell on a white silk scarf at the head of the bed. This silk scarf was taken out of his luggage immediately after the one on the girl's face was blown away. He was so frightened that he just wanted to cover her face a moment earlier, and he didn't think about anything else for a while. But now he was thinking about it all the time, and the girl's every move at that time instantly became clear. He suddenly remembered that when he handed the silk scarf over, his sister was riding on a horse, looking back into the distance, her eyes ...... It's clearly very hot.
……
A grey dove swooped down and landed on the outstretched arm of an armored soldier. The soldier untied a small bamboo tube from the gray pigeon's leg, and with another wave of his hand, the gray pigeon flew away again.
"Your Excellency. The soldier trotted into the tent and lifted the bamboo tube above his head with both hands. A broad palm stretched out from it, took the bamboo tube, twisted the top cover, took out a roll of white silk from it, and immediately unfolded it. I saw that the text on the white silk was fine, and the content was quite a lot. The man known as "Lord" seemed to be looking closely, while the next soldier maintained a posture of obedience and did not make a sound.
After a while, the "adult" slowly put down the white silk, gently tapped his fingers on several cases, and muttered to himself, "Sima Die......"
If Sima Die had been here, she would have been able to recognize this person's eyes: they had glanced coldly at her when they passed her, and they had looked at her from afar on the galloping horse until they disappeared...... It turned out that this man was not the white horse knight at the head of the cavalry? At this moment, he had taken off his helmet, and hidden under the mask was a very handsome face: about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a resolute face like a knife, sparse eyebrows and eyes, a high nose, and thin lips with sharp edges. The whole face is full of masculine masculinity. But at this moment, a faint smile on the corner of his lips added a little softness to this face.
Sima Die walked out of the mountains for the first time since he was born, where did he expect that he only rubbed shoulders in a hurry on the road, and before night, his origin information had been clearly placed on the other party's table.
Qi Yi's thoughts were flying, and he couldn't help but recall the beautiful appearance of the girl on the way. Originally, he just thought about it lightly, but he didn't think about it, and he was distracted: with his identity, the beautiful woman didn't know how many he had seen, but for some reason, the memory between that glimpse was so seared in his heart. The girl followed the surprised eyes of the silk scarf, and the moment she met his gaze, she suddenly became calm, as if with a little exploration, and even, a little provocative......
Qi Yi couldn't help but smile: Is he thinking too much? That's just a twenty-eight-year-old girl, provocative?
…… However, that look really made him unforgettable.
