17. Chapter XVI
The sound of the blade breaking through the air buzzed in my ears, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down my forehead, and I saw a strand of black hair that originally belonged to me go away with the wind......
How can my heavy fist be able to match this iron dagger?
"Ah...... Ah, you ...... What do you want to do? The sharp dagger was around my neck, and I was so frightened that I began to stutter.
"Sister...... This dagger is ...... Send you. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Ah Yi's words, I almost knelt down. It's the first time this princess has seen someone give someone a dagger like this, according to the routine, should she say the next sentence: "Shun...... By the way...... Send you down to Yellow Springs? ”
Seeing that I was already scared silly. Ah Yi's little face turned red, and he hurriedly took back the dagger and stuffed it into my arms: "Sister, I heard my mother say it yesterday...... Said that my sister's father-in-law was ...... Kidnapped by mountain bandits. Sister Ding...... Will definitely go to the dark ...... Black Wind Village rescues. So Ah Yi hurried ...... Rush to ...... dagger The dagger and the delicate twist were given to the sister to ...... Just in case. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief as I stared at the dagger that had been placed in my arms.
It's good that you didn't come to send me to die......
I said, "Ah Yi, how do you know that I will definitely go to save Lan Pei?" "I dreamed yesterday that before Lan Yi was eaten by mountain bandits as a baked cake, I didn't even plan to go to the pheasant mountain, which is said to have a lot of mosquitoes.
Under the bright sun, Ah Yi tugged at the corners of her clothes, her fair little face blushed more and more, she pursed her lips and said, "Because Ah Yi knows...... Knowing that Sister Qiu is...... He is a person who values love and righteousness. ”
Why don't I know anything she knows......
No, it should be an afterthought.
Ahem...... In the eyes of the imperial family, this princess can be called a model of love and righteousness, and she never relied on her status as the eldest princess to wantonly bully the royal sister. At most, I asked them to help me copy books, yo-yo wolves, and occasionally sing a song and play a song to listen to.
This little girl...... Are you worried about me?
Seeing Ah Yi's frowning eyebrows and Shui Ying's eyes full of worry, I casually put aside the burden and dagger that Ah Yi gave me, got up and pinched Ah Yi's cheeks, which were as red as apples, and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will come back unscathed." For the sake of the sharp weapons you gave me, how about you please eat the braised pigeon of Wuweiju when the time comes? "I didn't eat it yesterday, and when I bring Lan Pei back, this meal must be made up!
"Sister, it's really ...... Are you sure? ”
It seems that this girl is also a foodie. When I heard the braised pigeon, my brows did not wrinkle, and my worried expression was replaced by the joy of longing for the deliciousness.
"Really! Sister with this fat like you promise! Ah, go back quickly. In half an hour it will be time for lunch. ”
"Sister, what about you...... Be careful on your way. ”
Ah Yi turned around and walked towards the town, but he stopped after a few steps, and looked back at me: "Sister, you...... Do you remember encountering ...... Use in case of danger...... Dagger also ...... And the delicate twist. ”
I waved my hand and said, "Yes, I know." Let's go back. ”
Ah Yi turned around and walked towards the town again, but he didn't take a few steps and stopped again, looking back at me: "Sister, you...... DID YOU KNOW...... Know the way to Pheasant Mountain? ”
I waved my hand again and said, "Yes, I know." Let's go back. ”
Ah Yi turned around and walked towards the town again, and when she didn't take a few steps and stopped again, before she could look back at me, I said angrily, "Can you go or not!" ”
"Sister, I ......" Ah Yi turned around and pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "I can't walk......"
"Huh?"
Ah Yi pursed his lips and lowered his head: "Ah Yi didn't ...... Strength ...... again Walk home again. ”
Because I heard that Lan Pei was kidnapped by mountain bandits last night, this Ah Yi, who had only one time at the peach blossom banquet, even forgot to eat last night's dinner and today's breakfast, and drove out 7749 exquisite twists overnight.
But then again, I'm just going to Pheasant Mountain, not to Knife Mountain, do I need to run for my life......
But I was very touched by Ah Yi's stupid and sincere kindness.
"Come on. I'll send you home. I patted the plank next to me and said.
As for why I let Ah Yi sit next to me instead of in the carriage, at that time, because of the folk customs of Holly Town, if a woman who had not yet left the cabinet rode in the same carriage with a man alone, it was almost the rhythm of getting married.
Now Ah Yi is still too young to marry. And Lan Yi, not to mention, his body is too weak to withstand the huge waves that red was attacked after getting married.
When I sent Ah Yi back to Su Mansion, it was time for dinner, so under Ah Yi's hospitality, I had dinner with Lan Yi, and then drank a few teas, and when I left Su Mansion, I saw that the orange-red sun had been half covered by the mountain.
I stood on tiptoe to look at the sunset, then looked at Lan Yi, who looked indifferent, touched my stomach and said, "Little uncle, why don't we have dinner in Sufu before leaving." Anyway, I can fight tigers, and it's good to walk at night. ”
Lan Yi turned his head to look at me when he heard this, and in his deep inky eyes, I seemed to see a warm smile like a spring breeze, and he said, "Ah Yi, listen to my sister-in-law." ”
Such an intoxicating laugh made my heart skip a beat for no reason.
Seeing that I was stunned, Lan Yi's voice sounded in my ears again: "Sister-in-law? ”
"Huh?" I came back to my senses and smiled: "Sister-in-law, I waited for your words!" ”
So Lan Yi and I had dinner in Su Mansion before continuing to hurry.
On the seventh day of the fourth month, the crescent moon was like a hook, and the night was hazy, and I drove a carriage carrying Lan Yi's ransom and ten catties of baked cakes on the faint flower-scented path.
"The beep road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." In order not to make Lan Yi suspicious of me, I could only polish the lyrics a little when I hummed the song.
After I hummed ninety-nine times, Lan Yi suddenly interrupted the song and said, "Sister-in-law." ”
Although I don't have all five tones, I am better than having a loud voice. Lan Yi listened to it ninety-nine times before interrupting my singing, and in my opinion, he must not have found it unpleasant, but he wanted to praise me when he had the opportunity, but I couldn't stop at all. I was a little excited and said, "Little uncle, even the nightingale's cry is overshadowed by my singing." Does my uncle think that my sister-in-law's singing voice is very special? ”
Inside the carriage, Lan Yi was silent and said, "Sister-in-law, have you noticed that we have been going around in circles since you sang the song for the thirty-seventh time?" ”
"Is there one?" I touched my chin, because I was so involved in singing that I didn't pay attention to the road around me at all.
To prove that I was going around in circles, I jumped out of the carriage, knocked down a willow with one punch, and then drove forward again.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Lan Yi and I returned to the same place.
The white moonlight, the trail so silent that even the nightingale did not scream, and the willows lying on the ground.
A chill rushed up from my back. This...... Could it be the legendary ghost hitting the wall?!
"Ahh I screamed in shock, got into the carriage, hugged Lan Yi tightly and trembled: "Little uncle! There are ghosts! ”
"Little uncle! There are ghosts! ”
"Little uncle! There's a ghost! ”
"Sister-in-law......" Lan Yi, who was almost suffocated to death by my chest, blushed and said in a muffled voice: "Sister-in-law, I'm almost out of breath." ”
I was so frightened that my hair stood up, and I hugged Lan Yi's hand a little, but I didn't dare to let go completely. I'm very afraid that if I let go, Lan Yi will disappear, leaving only me and the ghost......
Lan Yi said in my arms: "Sister-in-law, there are no ghosts in this world. ”
"Fart!" I trembled and retorted: "There are even immortals in this world, how can there be no ghosts." ”
Lan Yi was silent in my arms: "Sister-in-law is not only afraid of flower hens? ”
"Flower hens and ghosts are not in the same world." I trembled and explained, "If you look at the scope of the human world, I am naturally only afraid of flower hens. But if we look at the scope of the Three Realms, ghosts are also one of them. ”
"So in terms of the scope of the Three Realms, my sister-in-law is afraid of not only flower hens but also ghosts?"
I thought about it, then nodded and said, "In addition to the flower hen and the ghost, the four fierce beasts should also be counted among them." ”
"Sister-in-law actually knows the allusions of the four fierce beasts?"
"Nonsense! You think I haven't read a book......" I said for a moment, and I hurriedly said, "But Bu Yaolian has told me before." ”
It was late spring, and Lan Yi was half-loosely held in my arms, and I could even feel his stubborn bones and his not-so-strong heartbeat. Lan Yi was silent again: "Since my sister-in-law knows the four fierce beasts, I wonder if my sister-in-law can know who is the head of the four fierce beasts?" ”
"This ......" I don't seem to see it in the book. I thought for a moment and said, "It's supposed to be gluttony!" ”
"Why does my sister-in-law think so?"
"Because it'...... Best eaten! The power of foodies is infinite! ”
In this way, I held Lan Yi in the carriage and talked all night, and when the sky showed a touch of fish belly white, Lan Yi said: "Sister-in-law is still scared now?" ”
I was surprised and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”
The soft morning light poured through the car window on Lan Yi's flushed face, and his thin lips smiled slightly: "Didn't sister-in-law say that she was afraid of ghosts?" ”
Xiao was because Lan Yi had been talking to me for a night to divert my attention, his voice was slightly hoarse, and when he ticked out the last word "?" with the end note, my little heart couldn't help but tremble with his end note. As if he forgot to answer him, he only subconsciously hugged Lan Yi tighter. I can't wait to let him utter the faint "?" word like just now......
"Sister-in-law......"
As the saying goes, horses stumble and people stumble.
When I came back to my senses, Lan Yi was already suffocated in my arms.
"Little uncle! Wake up! ”
"I don't listen to that 'what' word anymore! Open your eyes and look at me! ”
"Little uncle, don't scare me!"
So, when I woke up Lan Yi on this day, I found that in the Three Realms, in addition to being afraid of flower hens, ghosts, and the four fierce beasts, I was also afraid of Lan Yi's silent braids.
