Chapter 22 Sitting Idly on the Fishing Fire It's hard to talk at night
Mu Changsheng and Xiaoyu said goodbye to Song Ruqing and his party in Shili Pavilion and walked all the way along the official road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Mu Changsheng was in front, Xiaoyu was slightly one step behind, and he tended to follow behind him, not daring to take more than half a step, and his delicate body looked pitiful. Since leaving Zhaonan, Xiaoyu has been sobbing intermittently, and Mu Changsheng did not persuade her, so he just let her go. After crying for about a long time, Xiaoyu stopped. With a pair of blurry apricot eyes, slightly red and swollen, as if he was tired of crying.
Mu Changsheng was alone on weekdays, and he often used the technique of flying away to hurry, and he would stop when he encountered a town or his spiritual power was not enough. Now with Xiaoyu by his side, it is not good to use the escape technique, so he has to use his legs to rush honestly, and he is afraid of Xiaoyu's daughter's body, and deliberately slows down the pace. Mu Changsheng was thinking about settling down at night, when he suddenly heard a low sound behind him, although he could barely hear it, he heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look back. I saw that Xiaoyu's cheeks were flushed, lined with the afterglow of the slanting sun, complementing each other, a pair of plain hands stirred together, slightly white, and a look of panic and shyness. Mu Changsheng was able to save Xiao Yu's stomach from hunger. Mu Changsheng chuckled and said, "It's getting late, let's find a place and spend the night for the time being." Xiao Yu mosquito said: "But according to the son's orders." ”
The slanting sun fades, and the silver moon suddenly grows. After another half an hour, the sky became darker and darker. Under the plains, a barren grass spreads, connecting the trees far away, and the breeze blows into the arms. Suddenly, there was a sound of dredging water waves, far away, but still immense. Mu Changsheng smiled and said, "There is a fall." Come with me. Xiao Yu followed closely. The two crossed the weeds, only to see a river torrent vertical and horizontal, left and right can not look at its source, look at its flow potential, the front must reach Zhaonan City, is the water that passes through the city. Looking at the river, I saw that although the water waves in the river were slow, they gathered into a trend. Seeing this, Mu Changsheng smiled and said, "Little Jade girl, let's be wronged here for one night today." Xiao Yu panicked when he heard this: "Childe has tormented Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu is just a maid, and he deserves to be treated like this." Mu Changsheng smiled when he heard this, did not decompose, and said: "You wait here first, I will catch a few fish for the purpose of filling my stomach." When Xiaoyu heard this, she remembered what happened to Fang Cai, her face was slightly drunk, and she said, "I'm tired of my son." Mu Changsheng wanted to leave, so he stopped again, first gathered some of the surrounding grass and dead branches into a pile, and a glowing fire was born in the palm of his hand, which was thrown by him on the pyre, and in an instant, it became a raging fire, illuminating the surroundings transparently. Under the cover of night, Xiaoyu couldn't see clearly, and in the blink of an eye, the grass pile burned. When he looked at it again, Mu Changsheng had already gone straight away. Xiao Yu curled up beside the fire, buried half of her face in her knees, and looked at Mu Changsheng's shadow with crystal eyes, her face seemed to be sad. When the fire is small, I go to add some weeds.
However, it was said that Mu Changsheng approached the riverside, opened his eyes, and looked through this secluded water, looked into the depths of the water, searched everywhere, and saw the fish swimming in the water and gathered to swim indifferently. He was about to cast a spell to capture, but was attracted by a burst of singing and harmony, followed the prestige, only to see a little light from the river slowly swaying, faintly, ethereal, a burst of singing, listen carefully, its song said: hold the artemisia to divert the water, support the boat and break the waves. A river and clear water, reflecting the Toad Palace group, then use a net to catch the moon and catch the stars. Two wisps of breeze, but with a light rain back to the swallow, often accompanied me to sing and return. The fish is fat, and the basket is full. Don't hesitate to smile, go out of the market and enter the market. And I gave half of it to the people, and the rest went into my empty stomach.
Its voice is clear and clear, floating on both sides of the river, when the song is finished, the glimmer of light has fluttered and approached, tossing and turning in the heart of the river, Mu Changsheng looked at it, it was actually a fishing boat, there was a lantern hanging on the bow, overflowing with turbid light, and a figure lived in the stern, standing with artemisia. Mu Changsheng heard that his song was quite charming, so he shouted loudly: "Hold the boat." When the boatman heard this, he stopped the boat halfway through the river and said, "What do you call me to do?" "The sound is not half blocked, and it is ethereal. Mu Changsheng said, "Are there still fish on the boat?" I heard a burst of laughter, and said, "It just so happened that I still had three carps on my boat." Mu Changsheng smiled: "In this case, can you even the two tails with me?" The man laughed and said, "No need." The voice fell, and I saw a straw rope strung with two carp flying quickly. Mu Changsheng raised his hand and took it, and when he saw that the carp was quite fat, he said, "Thank you." Don't know how much it costs? There was another burst of laughter, and then he said, "Say whatever you want, take it." Mu Changsheng was still about to speak, but the boatman had already left the boat. Mu Changsheng sighed: "It's really a romantic person. ”
Xiao Yu was alone and confused, suddenly heard a sound, and was shocked in his heart, seeing that it was Mu Changsheng, he slowed down his heart and got up and said, "Childe is back." Mu Changsheng lifted the two carps and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu is in a hurry?" Xiao Yu shook her head again and again. Mu Changsheng went to find two branches, put the carp on, and set up next to the bonfire. Xiao Yu said, "Childe sit here." Mu Changsheng saw that the hay was stacked and piled up in a bunk, which should have been paved by Xiaoyu. Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart that Xiaoyu was dexterous, so he went to sit. Xiaoyu also sat down nearby. Mu Changsheng picked up a wooden branch and stirred it in the bonfire to make the fire stronger. Seeing that Mu Changsheng was silent, Xiao Yu bit her lip and said softly, "Who is Gongzi talking to?" Mu Changsheng said: "Probably a fisherman, and he will return at this time." These two carps were given to him. Xiaoyu said: "Is it the one who plays songs on the river?" Mu Changsheng smiled: "It's him, did you hear it too?" Xiaoyu smiled: "He sings loudly, I can vaguely hear it here." I just couldn't understand what he was singing. Mu Changsheng said with a smile: "The songs and songs are probably just what you see and hear, but I think I am also a literate person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sing those words." It's weird. Xiao Yu smiled when she heard this. Mu Changsheng's heart moved, and said, "Xiaoyu used to be literate and read? Xiao Yu said: "Xiao Yu was born in a humble background, how can there be those fates." At this time, the skin of the carp next to the bonfire was already charred yellow, Mu Changsheng tore it open with his hand, and saw that if the white jade was flawless and crystal clear, he took one and handed it to Xiaoyu, and said: "The fish is cooked, eat it slowly, don't be burned." Xiaoyu took it and said, "Gongzi Xie!" Mu Changsheng smiled: "Xiaoyu, you don't have to call my son from time to time, and you don't have to be so careful, just be casual." Xiao Yu shook her head and said: "Miss has given me to the son, Xiao Yu is the maid of the son, Xiao Yu can't be presumptuous." Mu Changsheng didn't care anymore and took another fish.
Mu Changsheng has already opened the valley, and he has long been less dependent on food. When Xiao Yu ate the whole fish, Mu Changsheng could only eat half of it. Mu Changsheng handed it over and said, "If you are hungry, eat these too." Seeing that Xiaoyu wanted to speak, he said first: "Don't say those useless words, I'm not very hungry, you just eat." Xiaoyu was not full, so when she heard this, she didn't shirk anymore, and after thanking her, she took it. Mu Changsheng got up again and went around to pick up a lot of firewood and grass, added it to the fire, and then went to lie down on the grass bunk, put his hands under his head, and looked at the few stars.
After eating, Xiaoyu threw the fish bone into the fire and licked her lips. Seeing Mu Changsheng's appearance, he didn't know what to do, so he sat curled up as before, and in the vast night, where the fire shrouded, there was only the sound of grass branches burning and peeling. After a while, Mu Changsheng suddenly said, "Xiaoyu, what are your plans in the future?" Xiaoyu was stunned, came back to her senses, and said, "Naturally, I follow my son." Mu Changsheng said: "I am floating all over, I have no fixed place, I will inevitably sleep in the open air, you are a weak woman, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to follow me." Xiao Yu bit her lip tightly when she heard this, and was silent. Mu Changsheng was stunned and said, "On this way, you must pass through the town." Why don't I find a place to live with you and live a good life? Xiao Yu had tears in her eyes at this time, and said, "Is Childe going to drive Xiao Yu away?" Mu Changsheng said: "Otherwise, if you follow me, you will only go through hardships, but why bother?" Xiaoyu burst into tears, reflected the bonfire, and said, "Did the son dislike Xiaoyu as a burden?" Mu Changsheng said: "I have some money with you, and you will find someone you can rely on, no longer be a slave or a servant, make your own decisions, and live a stable life, isn't it better than running around with me?" Besides, I'm used to being alone, and I don't need to serve anyone. Xiaoyu kept tears and said, "Speaking of which, the son still dislikes Xiaoyu." In this case, the son will go by himself, and Xiaoyu will be here alone, leaving to fend for herself. After speaking, he covered his face and cried. Seeing this, Mu Changsheng was helpless, so he stopped and didn't say anything, only listening to Xiaoyu crying alone, but in his heart, he thought that if he met the town again, he would settle her down properly and leave quietly. Xiaoyu cried for a long time, suddenly knelt down and wept, and said, "Childe, Xiaoyu will definitely do her best in the future." Since the time of Miss's words, Xiaoyu has already belonged to the son, and now Xiaoyu relies on only the son, and I hope that the son will not abandon Xiaoyu alone. Mu Changsheng heard her crying, he couldn't bear it for a while, sighed secretly, and said, "Stop, stop, you get up." I will not forsake you. Xiaoyu was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, son." Mu Changsheng looked at her with joy on his face but still with tears, and said, "If you want to stay, you have to rely on me." Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Childe, please say, Xiao Yu should obey." Mu Changsheng said: "From now on, you are not allowed to be cautious again, and you are always and everywhere accommodating me." If I have spoken my word, I will not destroy you, nor will I forsake you, and you need not be anxious in your heart. Xiao Yu said obediently: "Xiao Yu knows." Mu Changsheng said, "Okay." It's late at night, go to sleep. Xiaoyu replied in a low voice.
Mu Changsheng got up, closed his eyes and meditated on his behalf. Seeing this, Xiaoyu wiped away the tears on her face, looked at Mu Changsheng again, and sat in front of the bonfire for a long time before going to the grass shop to lie down on her side, facing Mu Changsheng with her back, and slowly fell asleep. The long night is long and indefinite, the bonfire is gradually extinguished, the stars and the moon are clear, the flowing water is murmuring, the river is endless, the stars are moving, the spring and autumn are changing, and the sky is about to dawn.
