Forty-seven, another village

Under the sun, Xiao Bao'er danced and waved the silk scarf in her hand, and after a while, she grabbed a bunch of scorpions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yao Xitong took the scorpion and threw it into a water bag, and then inserted the hairpin into it.

Xiao Bao'er looked sideways at his behavior and asked curiously, "You can tie your hair without a hairpin?"

didn't ask why he inserted the hairpin into the water bag, but he cared about how to comb his hair, which really surprised Yao Xitong. "Don't say you can't comb your hair?"

"It's normal, which princess have you ever seen combing her own hair? I don't know if Su Su is alive or dead, or you can help me comb my hair." ”

Yao Xitong beckoned Xiao Bao'er to get closer, and after a while, he combed a bun with her that a little maid often combed.

Xiao Bao'er touched her bun, "Is it good-looking?"

"Good looking. ”

"Alright, on the road!"

At noon, when the sun was at its fiercest, Yao Xitong took out the scorpion in the water bag to control the water, and used chopsticks to clip off the poisonous needle on its tail. When Xiao Bao'er found a good place to rest, he took a piece of broken tiles and put them on the sand, and the scorpion was neatly placed on the broken tiles, and then used a mirror to reflect the sunlight on the tiles.

After a while, the scorpion was roasted to a very crispy point, and the feeling at first eating was not very good, and when you chewed it with your teeth, it was really fragrant and crispy, and the delicious food could not be stopped at all.

Xiao Bao'er ate one after another like beans, until there was nothing left on the tiles, she sucked her fingers and asked, "Why does it smell of salt?"

"Soak in salt water in the morning until noon, don't you see?"

"Do you have salt on you?" Xiao Bao'er said after asking, "There is salt in your hairpin?"

"Coarse cloth, boiled in salted water, dried and wrapped into hairpins. ”

"Shouldn't the salt be a grain when it's dry?"

"How do you know it's not?"

After Yao Xitong finished speaking, he saw Xiao Bao'er stretch out his paw to touch his hair, hurriedly turned his head to the side, and warned: "Put away your curiosity and just listen." Xiao Bao'er retracted her hand in frustration. He asked a question that he had wanted to ask yesterday, seemingly casually, "Have you been drinking less water, or have you entered the desert?"

"As long as you know about Northern Liao, you will know that all herders entering unknown areas will be the same as me, Northern Liao is not as good as the Central Plains, and we have to learn how to survive in a harsh environment from an early age. ”

"Didn't I make you angry for wasting water yesterday, why didn't you tell me everything in advance?"

"You Central Plains people have a lot of thoughts, and you have nothing to do, I want to tell you that you can't get out, can you hold out in the desert for so long?"

Yao Xitong can't hear this kind of statement, what is nonsense, this means that everything is under control. If Xiao Baoer had said that he would encounter such a situation, he would definitely prepare for life with him, and the embarrassing things like yesterday would not have happened at all.

He asked, "What if I can't get out?"

Xiao Baoer pointed to the sky, "People are not as good as the sky, God really doesn't want us to go out, it won't rain yesterday." ”

"You believe in God so much, why do you still believe that I will change my life?" The topic became more and more complicated, Xiao Baoer thought for a while before answering, "I believe in God, and at the same time, I believe that man will win the sky, and the two are not contradictory." ”

"Why isn't it a contradiction? You told me in advance what to expect in the desert, was that what happened yesterday?"

On the surface, Yao Xitong was worried about almost drinking horse urine. Thinking deeply, he was moved by Xiao Baoer, but he didn't want to admit this touch, and tried his best to keep the relationship between the two as mutual use. Maybe only in this way can he be worthy of his heart.

Xiao Bao'er didn't bother to pay attention to him, and led the horse to jump towards Kebogla.

Before the sun set, an oasis appeared not far from the two of them. Xiao Bao'er pointed to the Kebogra Snow Mountain, which is located on the right side of the oasis, and asked suspiciously, "Should we go to the right or left?"

Yao Xitong smiled bitterly, Chen Di borders Northern Liao, and since Kebogra Snow Mountain is in Northern Liao, this oasis in front of him must be in Chen Di.

I thought that the ghost town in distress would slow down the trip, but the two of them took a shortcut into the desert by mistake, according to this situation, they are likely to encounter Qingshanjun's team on the official road...... If this is the case, it really responds to Xiao Baoer's statement - people are not as good as heaven!

"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to Chendi to take office, do you say go to the right or left?"

Xiao Bao'er glanced back at Kebogra and resolutely led the horse in a completely different direction. She is a native of Northern Liao, but she fell in love with a man from the Central Plains, and Northern Liao became the hometown she left behind.

The two of them walked into the woods from the desert near dawn, unlike the dense forest they had left a few days ago, this forest was not big, the mountains were steep, and the road was even more difficult to walk than a few days ago.

"Xiaoxiao, do you want to take a break, you've been gone all night. ”

"While the martial arts are still there, I have to find the right path as soon as possible, don't look at the few trees here, the beasts like this kind of forest. ”

"I want to eat bear's paws. ”

Xiao Bao'er glanced at Yao Xitong, "Don't even think about it, Maodong's bear blind man is the most ferocious, I can't beat it." ”

As if he hadn't heard, Yao Xitong continued, "The best thing to eat in winter bears is the forepaw, which is small and the palm flowers are beautiful. The hind palm is used for walking and standing, the palm is long and large, the texture is thick, and the palm flower is not obvious. So, the bear's forefoot is of better quality than the hindfoot. ”

"When the bear hibernates, he often licks his forefoot with his tongue, and licks the calluses on the forefoot very thinly, so that the palm is red and oozing blood, and its *** gum is moistened in the palm, so the forepalm is tender and nutritious. ”

"Among the forepaws, the left forepaw is the most precious, because bears are "left-handed", and the palm of the left forepaw is stained with the blood of wild juices, ant eggs and rare birds and fattened animals all year round. Bears also steal honey to satisfy their hunger, so that the bear's left forefoot is often soaked in royal jelly and honey. Over time, the bear's left forefoot was soaked with blood, honey, juice, and the bear's own saliva. The right forefoot is only used for tickling, climbing trees, and catching prey, and is naturally inferior to the left forefoot. ”

Xiao Bao'er had eaten bear paws, but she didn't know that her left forepaw was so exquisite, and she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how to cook it to be delicious?"

Yao Xitong seduced: "You give me bear paws, and I will give you a unique delicacy." ”

"No, the bears in winter are too dangerous, I can't promise you. ”

"Hmph," Yao Xitong looked to the side angrily. Because of his horseback riding, his vision was broader, and he turned his head and said, "I seem to see smoke in front of me." ”

After a cup of tea, the two walked through the woods to a small village in a mountain col.

The sky was bright, and the whole village was immersed in a foggy tranquility, and the paths that led to different homes led to different homes. Only one family is still smoking, and the others are estimated to have eaten before dawn, and are now scattered in the woods and busy with farm work.

Xiao Bao'er walked towards the house with cooking smoke, and was stopped by an old woman as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, "Looking at the two faces, I don't know which family to find here?"

"Old woman, my son-in-law and I happened to be passing by here, and we were sleepy and tired, and we wanted to go into the village to beg for water. ”

Along the way, I have listened to a lot of Su Su's words, Xiao Baoer is much smarter than when she left the palace, and she also looks like she is lying. Unfortunately, it was useless, the old woman looked at the direction in which the two of them entered the village, and asked, "Girl, the village is located in a mountain col, where did you come from, where are you going, and how can you pass by here?"

Xiao Bao'er was speechless, I didn't expect the old woman to have so many words, why didn't Su Su encounter this kind of problem when negotiating with others?

Yao Xitong was also very curious, why would a peasant woman in a small village be so vigilant? He relieved the siege and said: "Auntie, my maid didn't mean to lie, but she suffered too many frightens along the way, and some plants and trees were all soldiers. We followed the caravan to Chendi, encountered robbers in the forest, and escaped into the desert in a panic, only to find the village. ”

"If it's convenient for my aunt, you can sell us some dry food or give us water...... It was still early, so we took a short break and left. ”

The old woman looked at the two of them carefully and said, "Come home with me!"

Thinking of the geographical location here, Yao Xitong suddenly asked, "Auntie, what is this village called?"

The old woman didn't reply, "Muzi Village." ”

Yao Xitong frowned, and said, "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, the closer you get to the north, the more strange the names of the villages you encounter." ”

The old woman led the two of them towards the first house at the entrance of the village. Xiao Bao'er led Doc through the narrow fence at the entrance of the village, and said to herself: Why is this fence so close that it doesn't allow people to walk properly?

"There are many wild animals in the forest, and the proximity of the fence is also for the safety of the village. The old woman led the two into the courtyard, and carried a horse out of the hall, "Please sit down, and I will go next door to ask for some flour to make the two of you ...... pancakes."

Yao Xitong just sat down, Xiao Bao'er also wanted to sit, he glared at Xiao Bao'er, that means that you are a maid, standing on the side, there is no place for you here.

Xiao Bao'er tied Doc to the fence and said to herself: The folds on that mother-in-law's face are almost catching up with Uncle He, don't you think it's shameful to call someone else's aunt?

"Xiaoxiao, many times a lie is better than the truth. ”

"I just like to hear the truth. ”

"You look stupid when you comb your buns, the two buns look like horns from a distance, I combed them on purpose. ”

"I admit what you say, a lie is better than the truth. ”

"Xiaoxiao is so good. ”

The two were arguing, and suddenly heard a noise in the kitchen, Xiao Baoer looked inside, only to see that the iron pot on the stove was lifted and put aside, and a person suddenly crawled out of the place that should have been used to make a fire.

This person is extremely thin, with a wood-like body that does not distinguish between men and women, and Xiao Bao'er is very surprised by his fiery red hair and blue eyes. The moment the two looked at each other, the man opened his mouth as if to say, "Help me", and then crawled towards Xiao Bao'er in a strange posture. Just as she was about to meet Xiao Bao'er, Yao Xitong pulled Xiao Bao'er away and asked, "What's the matter?

"It's like a woman, crawling out of the stove. After listening to Xiao Baoer's explanation, Yao Xitong looked at the stove thoughtfully.

The guy known as the woman continued to crawl towards Xiao Bao'er in a strange posture, and his expectant face and the appearance of trying to make a "Sisi" sound looked terrifying.

"Are you really a person? red-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned?"

Xiao Bao'er squatted down, looked at the woman closely, and replied, "It's human, and I'm of a different race, but her hometown is at the other end of the Kebogla Snow Mountain, a more distant place. There were yellow hair as red as gold, blue eyes for the first time, but I had seen lake green eyes, and my father said that there were gray eyes......"

The woman on the ground obviously understood Xiao Bao'er's words, and a layer of mist rose in her beautiful eyes, but unfortunately she couldn't make a sound, only to see a mouth desperately trying to say something.

Xiao Bao'er could only ask: "Girl, what are you going to say, let us save you, what happened?"

At this moment, the old woman who had gone out to borrow food came back, and when she saw this scene in the courtyard, she threw down the food and ran, crying loudly, "The evil spirit has appeared, the evil spirit has appeared...... and she shouted as she ran, and by the way sounded a gong hanging on a certain tree.

The sound of "clang" broke the silence of the village, countless birds were startled from the branches, and Xiao Baoer was annoyed by the sound of gongs.

Ever since she heard the gong of the entertainer in the ghost town, she was very disgusted by this sound, and she was simply annoyed when she heard it. She shouted, "What evil spirit, who is the evil ghost?" ”

"Xiaoxiao, be careful when you speak. Yao Xitong lowered her voice to remind her to restrain herself, but in a moment, the two of them were surrounded by more than twenty villagers holding various farm tools. Xiao Bao'er's arrogance also came back after recovering her martial arts, and she said, "What are you afraid of, I'll take you out." ”

"How many waves of villagers can you handle on your own? I bet the sound of the gong will attract more people, and this is someone's territory. We were short of food and water, and we had to flee for our lives with a strange man...... Be sensible, okay?"

"What do you say?"

Yao Xitong glanced at Xiao Bao'er with disgust, what a troublemaker. He tidied up his clothes and walked towards the villagers with a graceful manner, "My maid is of a different race, I heard her say that this red-haired woman is also a foreign race, I wonder if you are mistaken?"

The old woman who struck the gong and drew the crowd said, "She is either a stranger or a demon, so do not be deceived by her appearance." As soon as the words fell, the surrounding villagers said together, "Evil ghosts, evil ghosts, evil ghosts, evil ghosts." ”

Xiao Bao'er was so noisy that she had a headache, and looked carefully at the group of people who were coaxing, there were no young adults, no young women, all elderly men and women. She asked aloud, "Why do you say she's a demon, eating your livestock, or seducing your men?"

Yao Xitong really wanted to sew Xiao Baoer's mouth up, how could she answer what she said?

The villagers fell silent, as if pondering how to answer her question. At this moment, a childish voice said: "She is an evil ghost, how can anyone who does not wear clothes during the day, and there is always a ...... from the room where she is locked up at night."

Xiao Bao'er looked for the sound, and saw that the doors of many houses were hidden, and she could vaguely see someone in the house through the crack in the door. She had been talking like a girl, but in the middle of speaking, the young woman in the room covered her mouth and closed the door.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Bao'er's question was not answered.
