Chapter 204: The Stars

After a while, the sound of footsteps was connected, and Li Qian looked back and saw that Lu Xuanying had walked slowly, her new clothes were like tender willows, and a nest of green silk was shining brightly, and her skin was like jade. Lu Xuanying saw Li Qian staring at him, his eyes were like a pair of hooks, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Little pervert, what bad things are you thinking?"

Li Qian rushed out and said, "I miss you." ”

Lu Xuanying's cheeks were instantly like rouge, and she scolded: "Who has something bad to do with you." Lu Xuanying scolded while sitting down next to him, after the girl's new bath, there was a faint fragrance on her body, Li Qian smelled it slightly, and instantly felt that her blood was boiling, and it was almost difficult to control.

Lu Xuanying sat for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Little pervert, you didn't peek, did you?"

Li Qian snorted: "I didn't see it!"

Lu Xuanying secretly scolded in her heart: "This little fool doesn't have the slightest guts. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel hot in my cheeks again, and I took a sip, but I didn't know if it was Li Qian or not angry with myself. The two sat for a while, and Lu Xuanying smiled again: "Little pervert, while there is no one, I'll sing you a tune, okay?"

Li Qianxi said: "Okay." ”

Seeing his eagerness, Lu Xuanying smiled, and sang to the surging river: "The snow is shining on the harvest year, and you can't go on the road of the great wilderness. The vast ocean of the lake is not far from the edge, and the children and grandchildren will drink it for thousands of years. The white clouds in the sky are goats, and the hills of the earth are all oxen in the earth, and their children and grandchildren are left in the world. This song was sung by her pearl throat and silver voice, and it was indescribably tactful and beautiful.

Li Qian has never heard such a good singing voice, which is even better than Tian Yuanyuan's. Li Qian thought about the rhyme for a long time, and asked, "Who wrote this song, and he is not afraid of blowing through the cowhide?"

Lu Xuanying smiled slightly and said, "This song is called the Great Talk Song, and it is sung by the poor people in the Great Wilderness. They hope that the snow in winter will be a good start to the next year, and they think that the great wilderness is full of land and cannot go to the end, and that the lake is vast and will never dry up, and they fantasize that the clouds are sheep and the mountains are cows, so that their children and grandchildren will have food and reproduce from generation to generation. ”

When Lu Xuanying said this, her smile flickered and she sighed softly. Li Qian couldn't laugh for a while when he thought of the bleak situation of the poor in the Great Wilderness. Seeing that Lu Xuanying was unhappy, he said, "Xuanying, you sing so well, is it okay to sing again?"

Lu Xuanying said coldly: "I'm not the girl in the hook column, why do you want to sing only me." ”

Li Qian was embarrassed and said, "But I can't sing." ”

Lu Xuanying smiled: "Then what will you do?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "I can count the stars." ”

Lu Xuan glanced at him and said, "This is also a skill, the stars are hanging in the sky, and a fool can't count!"

Li Qian smiled: "I count differently from others. After that, Li Qian stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky and said, "Look, what do those four stars look like when they are connected?"

Lu Xuanying looked at his finger and said, "It's like a stone mortar." ”

Li Qian pointed again: "What about the top three?"

Lu Xuanying said: "Like a pestle." ”

Li Qian smiled again: "What do the four stars next to them look like?"

Lu Xuanying's eyes lit up, clapped her hands and smiled: "This is like a person, so you say it, isn't it a person who pounds rice with a pestle?"

Li Qian said slowly: "It's not pounding rice, it's pestle medicine." These stars have a general name, which is called the Immortal Pestle. Then he pointed to the stars one by one and said, "The eight stars are called arc arrows, like arrows on the string, and that one is called the heavenly boat, that is the heavenly turtle, that is the Xuanyuan, that is the jade well, that is the heavenly sword, and that is the river drum." Well, is that the cowherd leading the cow, and the Weaver Girl is the brightest star, and the two little stars beside her are her two children, and they are dim ...... light."

Li Qian casually pointed to the starry sky, Lu Xuanying followed his guidance, looked at it intently, and said with a smile: "It's really strange, in the past, when I looked at the sky, the stars were stars, and I didn't notice so many cows and horses." ”

Li Qian said: "This was all thought up by the ancients. ”

Lu Xuanying glanced at him and thought, "This little pervert is not boastful, he doesn't take credit, it's rare." "In the blink of an eye, the moon shines on the cold river, the waves are like practice, the sky is clear, and the stars are bright. Lu Xuanying only felt that this scene was unprecedentedly happy, and she didn't feel that she held Li Qian's hand. Li Qian was intoxicated by the celestial phenomena and didn't even notice it for a while.

The two walked hand in hand, looking up at the night sky, telling anecdotes about the stars, and talking about the jade rabbit slanting westward, before they got tired. I went to the edge of the pond and lit a fire, covered it with the felt quilt carried by Lu Xuanying, and slept on my feet. Sleeping until midnight, Li Qian was awakened by a wave of skin vibrations, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, Li Qian got up and looked, and saw more than ten horsemen and horses galloping over.

Lu Xuanying also woke up when she heard the sound, and said angrily: "Those bastards have caught up?" Lu Xuanying took Li Qian, extinguished the bonfire, and hid behind a stone. The horse team approached the riverbank, and by the first morning light, the person led by was actually a man in blue who had seen "not drunk in the building". The other man was tall and strong, with a five-foot bow hanging from his shoulder, and led his men to the riverside and stopped.

Someone shouted, only to hear the man say, "General, there is no boat to cross the river." ”

The man in blue looked at the river, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Go up the hillside, and line up with the water on your back." ”

The great men agreed in a hurry, galloped up a slow hill, dismounted and divided into two teams, one team bent the bow and designated the way to come, and the other team stood behind and stood with the bow drawn. The man in blue also jumped off his horse, stood with his bow drawn, and let the river wind blow his clothes, and his body remained motionless, like a pale rock.

Li Qian listened to him and seemed to be chasing after him. Before the thought was finished, I heard the sound of horses' hooves on the road, dozens of horsemen and horses roaring, and the knights were dressed in mixed clothes, all of which were in the costume of the Great Wilderness. Seeing that this group of men was blocked by the river, they cheered loudly together, and a gust of wind rushed to the bottom of the hill.

The man in blue saw it clearly and shouted: "Release the arrow." I saw a sudden sound of the bowstring, and a row of arrows came and went. There was a neighing sound, and several horses were hit by arrows, and their front hooves bent down, turning their master upside down. On the hill, the first team of big men took the arrows and wound them, and the last row of big men stepped forward, and the sharp arrows came out early. This time he shot people, only a few screams were heard, and the knight who landed could not dodge, and there were casualties on the spot.

The two rows of big men advance and retreat, the law is strict, shooting horses and people, and there are few false hairs. After three rounds of arrows, the knights on the other side were killed and wounded more than 20 people, and suddenly someone shouted: "The thief's bow and arrows are powerful, stay out of the edge for the time being." The knights grabbed their dead and wounded comrades and retreated backwards like a whirlwind, breaking several more in the process.

The other group of men and horses withdrew from the arrow, and after holding their ground, they took a deliberative moment, and some men walked ahead with shields, and others followed on foot with swords and spears.
