Chapter 3: The King's Necklace
I tensed my body, my eyes not seeing made me more sensitive, and the cold stuff on my neck gave me goosebumps. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I slow down my breathing and try to calm my mind, and at times like these, what I need most is a cool head, and I can't let myself be hurt by impulse. The touch on my neck became more and more obvious, and I could feel the unknown object slowly slide down again, across my neck, to the place of my collarbone, and then it didn't move, and based on the coldness I felt on my neck, I could roughly deduce that it was not the dagger I had just envisioned, and I breathed a sigh of relief. A hand brushed over the side of my face, slowly slid down my chin, rubbed it on my chin for a long time, and then slowly touched it upwards. It went back and forth several times, and finally, the hand took my hand and led me slowly.
My other hand reached forward to explore the way, and a large hand held my hand in his palm, and I froze for a moment, not pulling it back.
The man led me to a high place, and I carefully explored the way with my feet, because both hands were in the man's hands, and it was very inconvenient for me to move, and he did not seem to notice my inconvenience at all, and had no intention of letting go. I staggered after him.
Finally, I followed him to a place where he let go of my hand and untied the strip of cloth from my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a full line of stars, both in the sky and on the earth.
The white Tianhe lies quietly in the clear blue sky, the countless stars on both sides of the bank are jumping, and a bright moon is like a jasper plate inlaid in the blue sky. The quiet moonlight Three Gorges has a silver net, pouring all over the ground, and the ground wants to be covered with a layer of silver frost. We stood on a mound on the edge of the Nile, the stars shining into the water, beating slightly with the movement of the river. In the distance, the stars gathered into a river, pouring down and forming a single body with the Nile, making it impossible to distinguish between the Nile and the Milky Way.
I've never seen such a beautiful view and forgot to breathe.
"Do you like it, Lu Yuan?" said Fell, standing beside me.
I turned my eyes to look at him, his blue eyes were suffocating in the starlight, and the bright flowers in the corners of his eyes lost their daylight and softened. I bit the corner of my mouth, didn't say a word, and turned my eyes back to the starry sky.
Fell didn't get an answer from me, so he didn't ask, and his face suddenly got a mischievous look, and his hand slowly moved to mine, trying to hold my hand, and when his hand was about to take mine, I put my hands together in my lower abdomen, in the position I was used to. Fell was left in the air, and suddenly became annoyed.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
When Fell heard this, he immediately said as if to take credit: "I want to see you, but I can't see you all the time." So, I'll find someone to take you out. ”
Me: "...... Next time you want to see me, you can command Dargis ......" Before I could finish speaking, Fell interrupted me with a pout, saying, "He won't let me." Lu Yuan, whatever you like, I'll give it to you. ”
"I want grapes. ”
When I went back, Fell still covered my eyes with strips of cloth. By the time the strip of cloth had been removed, I had reached the room that Dageth had given me in the temple, and the wind was blowing in from outside, and I got up and closed the window.
The door was opened, and Dargis entered, not a single priest with him, who seemed to have come alone, and looked around the room. I closed the window and walked to the table, picked up the flask on the table, poured a glass of wine, and asked, "Would you like a glass?" Dargis took the glass I handed him: "You are the Nile bride given to us by God, and you will marry Pharaoh whether you want it or not." ”
"I know. I poured another glass of wine and handed it to him, "Do you want to come?"
Dagis placed the cup in his hand on the table, glanced at my neck, and turned away. I exhaled after he was gone, and he always looked like he had everything in his hands, which made me pick up my spirits every time I met him.
Before going out, Daggis left a sentence: "Next time I go to bed late, I should put on my clothes." ”
I was a little baffled, when I was sleeping and changing clothes, I felt a string of things around my neck, I took it off and put it in my hand, it turned out to be a necklace, and there was a big flower-shaped pendant on the necklace, which looked familiar, but I can't remember seeing it there. Suddenly I thought of another thing, just now Dargis said that he clearly knew that I was out tonight.
The next day, I studied writing in the study of the temple according to the management, and I placed two piles of books on the table, one for sacrificial texts and the other for sacrificial books. Daggis did not allow the other priests to teach me, saying that these books were very important and should not be seen by others, and that I had to study them word by word. In the past, my father had asked hundreds of fathers and sons to teach me to learn, but now although it is not as convenient as Hena to teach me, the progress is quite good.
Halfway through my reading, the book in front of me was pulled open, and Daggis looked through my progress and sat down across from me: "I'll be in charge of your future studies." ”
The corners of Dargis's mouth curved upward: "You will be responsible for this in the future." “
I've never seen Daggis smile when I came to the temple, Daggis smiled like this, and the whole person no longer looked so cold, like a spring breeze. I was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the book Dargis was holding the book, to see that it was to teach me the words and how to be a good priest.
After today's lesson, Daggis asked, "Why didn't you bring your necklace?"
"Your necklace pendant is a Nile fire lotus, which used to bloom all over the Nile, but now it's rare. The flower in the corner of the king's eye is a fire lotus, and the flower under you when you appear is also a fire lotus. “
No wonder I looked at the pendant familiarly, it turned out that there was an identical one in the corner of Fair's eye.
It occurred to me that the flower that appeared beneath me was a fire lotus, the same as the flower in the corner of Fair's eye, and that it was because of this that I was said to be the bride of the Nile?
I sensed a great conspiracy acutely, and I fell into it.
I have to get out of here.
Soon, your Nile will overflow, and Dagis will preside over the matter, and the work of the temple will be handled by me. Dagis left some priests to help me deal with the incident, and I began to officially get in touch with the things of the temple.
At this time, I realized that the affairs of the temple were very complicated, and I was busy every day.
Every night, Fell punctually took me out of the temple and took me out to see the stars.
On the first day, look at the stars.
The next day, look at the stars.
On the third day, look at the stars.
On the fourth day, I would like to say that I have no idea about looking at the stars anymore, and I still pretend to be very interested every day.
"Lu Yuan, don't you want to look at the stars?" Fair asked me.
"Nope. I replied.
"Oh. Fell replied, handing me a bunch of grapes, and I took them.
Fell asked me, "Lu Yuan, do you know how to swim?"
I shook my head.
"I'll teach you. Fell put on a mischievous smile. Before I could react, I was dragged into the water by Fair.
I was holding grapes in my hand, and I was pulled into the water by Fair, and the grapes in my hand scattered. I couldn't swim, so I threw myself around in the water and took several gulps. A pair of hands quickly floated up my waist and carried me out of the water. I breathed heavily, clinging to Phil and refusing to let go. Fell had a smile on his face, but suddenly, as if he had encountered something, he let me go and walked to the shore. I was thrown into the water again, and seeing Fell leave alone despite me, I made a seal on my right hand, trying to make something I could step on. Halfway through the swim, Fell returned, put his arm around my waist, and carried me to shore.
Once on the shore, Fell said nothing, covered his eyes and ran away. I was alone on the shore, I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't know the way back, so I had to stay on the shore alone.
Covering my wet clothes, I sat on the water's edge and looked at the Nile.
