Chapter 29: Pity
The weather is getting colder, and the birds and beasts on Jiuzhi Mountain seem to be a little afraid of the cold air, and the usual birdsong and beast roar in front of and behind the house also calmed down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The earth dragon in the house burned in the middle of the night, so that the merchants who had been tired all the way had a good night's sleep, and when they opened their eyes, they couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths when they looked at the looming embroidery on the top of the curtain.
Lifted the curtain and sucked in the remaining warmth in the house. The merchant took out the Hu Fu in the wardrobe and put it on his body, thought for a moment, and then wrapped a rabbit around his neck, and opened the door with a bun full of green silk.
Wang Dayong's two brothers had also gotten up, and were feeding the horses in the manger outside the courtyard, and in the courtyard where the snow had been swept away, Li Mo was wearing a moon-white middle coat and was slowly dancing his sword in front of the house, and the hot breath exhaled from his mouth was churning and rolling around his body.
The morning light gradually brightened, and the fresh and cold wind swept in front of the house, attracting a stirring of businessmen, and also throwing away the last laziness of getting up early.
"Morning!" The merchant smiled and said good morning to Li Mo, who was slowly retracting.
"Up?"
Li Mo put away the sword in his hand, walked in front of Shang Shang, and naturally stretched out his hand and pulled the broken hair from her ear behind her ear.
"Hungry! I'm going to go and eat something. ”
Shang Shang looked up at Li Mo, the rising sun hit him, making her a little unable to see the expression on his face, only a familiar and warm breath, through the cold air of the morning, slowly spurted onto her face.
She was not short among women, but she was only at Li Mo's shoulder, and she always had to raise her head to look at him when she stood in front of him. Li Mo likes to stand very close to her the most, looking up at him like a child, always making him feel that he is extremely powerful, and he is the person she relies on for a lifetime.
"Hmm!"
In these days of being alone in Jiuzhi Mountain, in addition to missing the merchants, I am afraid that the most difficult thing for Li Mo is his extremely bad cooking skills!
As soon as he thought that Shang Shang had returned to his side and no longer had to eat those foods that made him black, Li Mo's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Why can't he do such a simple thing in business?
Looking at the strange expression on Li Mo's face, although the hideous and ugly scar hindered his emotional expression, the merchant could roughly guess what he had in mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed while being funny.
Come to think of it these days, those weird dishes he made by himself are very painful for his stomach, right?
Thinking of Li Mo's lack of talent for kitchen matters, the merchant couldn't help but be a little amused, and the corners of his mouth couldn't close anymore.
Li Mo looked at the smiling face of the merchant in embarrassment, knowing why she was smiling, but looking at her smiling so openly and brightly, he couldn't get angry in his heart no matter what, he only twisted her cheeks fiercely, and looked at her "Xuexue" exhaling pain, but he couldn't help but smile his eyebrows.
"Good Li Mo! I won't laugh at you anymore! You let me go! The merchant couldn't help but beg for mercy.
Her skin is delicate, Li Mo twisted it like this, where can she still stand the pain, and she is even more coquettish, her soft eyes are sparkling for a while, bright and charming, and she can't be squared.
Li Mo's heart softened, and his subordinates stopped.
Shang Shang took the opportunity to dodge, and while turning around and grimacing at him, he said, "You go and freshen up, breakfast will be available soon." ”
Li Mo watched the merchant rush into the kitchen in two steps, and only a moment later, the smoke had risen from the roof, and his heart warmed, and he went into his room to freshen up.
By the time he came out in a shirt with narrow sleeves and a collar, the merchant had already placed dishes and chopsticks in the hall.
"Go and sit down! I'm going to call Brother Wang! I have to thank them for sending me back. The merchant greeted Li Mo and went out to call the two brothers who were feeding the horses outside the courtyard.
After Wang Dayong and the two finished feeding the horses, they were about to eat some dry food and then went back to Chang'an, but they heard that the merchant came to call him and the two to have breakfast, and he was too busy to excuse himself.
The merchant did not follow: "Brother Wang! Send me this time, the road is far away, no more comfortable than just driving a car for the uncle in Chang'an City, and now I want to go, how can I not eat some hot meals and then go on the road? ”
Wang Dayong didn't even dare to say it, he only said that he was originally a hired worker of the Su family, and it was his duty to send merchants to businessmen, and the second eldest of the Wang family, Dazhi, was also a general language.
The merchant insisted on refusing, she never felt that working with others was a lowly thing, and the Wang brothers couldn't resist her, so they had to go into the hall and sit, but they still felt a little awkward.
Seeing that the two of them were uncomfortable, Li Mo pointed to the bowl of noodles on the table, and smiled deliberately, "Aren't you two not used to eating noodles?" ”
The merchant felt that the man had a large amount of food, and he had to eat something to fill his stomach at breakfast, but she had just come back, and she had no time to make steamed steamed buns, so she had to mix the white noodles, made a few bowls of hand-made noodles, and boiled a large bowl of air-dried dried meat with all kinds of dried vegetables that she brought back, fried a wild mushroom, a dried bamboo shoot, and picked a plate of pickled pickles in the jar, and also made a small table.
Drinking the noodle soup hot like this, eating and drinking enough before going on the road, is the foundation of cold protection.
Wang Dayong and his brothers looked at the hot dishes on this table, their hearts were hot, but they were all rough people, and they didn't say anything, they just lowered their heads and covered the bowl on the noodles, and gulped the noodles in the bowl.
Shang Shang saw that the two of them were eating well, and he also smiled and squinted, and pinched the chopsticks with Li Mo and ate them.
Although Li Mo is of royal blood, he has been lonely since he was a child, and the difference between respect and inferiority in his heart is extremely light, and he is quite happy to see the two of them eating happily, so he picked up the noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.
After the four of them finished breakfast, they all felt that they had food in their stomachs, and their bodies were hot.
Wang Dayong and the two brothers were about to say goodbye, and the merchant explained to the two of them to be careful on the road, and then sent the two out of the door.
After the two of them walked away, Shang Shang turned his head and said: "It will be the winter solstice in two days, have you prepared sacrifices for the emperor and the queen?" ”
Li Mo nodded slightly.
"Everything has already been prepared, just tidy up a little, the main priest emperor will do it in the Taiji Palace Temple, we only need to do a little here, but it's not particularly troublesome."
"So—have the three animals been prepared?" Shang Shang hesitated for a moment before asking.
Last year, during the winter solstice, she almost made a joke because she didn't understand the rules, and this year she can't do it again. Ancestor worship is a big deal, and it must not be sloppy.
"I have prepared all the three animals, I only need to cook them the day before, and then I will have my own guards to carry them to the tomb." Li Mo smiled at the businessman.
Seeing her frowning slightly, racking her brains, and looking like she was facing a great enemy, Li Mo couldn't help but be moved in his heart. Although he had never called those two people who had long since died, in his heart, their weight was extremely heavy.
The people you value can also get the attention of your beloved, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of the friendship between the two.
"You don't have to worry too much, you just have to follow me then, even if some courtesies are not fulfilled, they won't blame you!" Li Mo said softly.
Shang Shang is alone, washing all the lead, and accompanying him in this cold and lonely Jiuzhi Mountain is already an extremely rare thing, it is too late for him to love her, how can he make it difficult for her?
"Fool! They are your dearest, why should I be worried? I just want to do my part. Seeing Li Mo's comfort, the businessman couldn't help but smile.
She was originally worried that Li Mo remembered the death of his parents and felt desolate, but at this moment, she was relieved to see that he was comforting herself because of the sacrifice, and she glanced at him with a wave of eyebrows, and turned around and went to the house to clean up her things.
Li Mo's heart was beating wildly by her glance, and he was able to stabilize his heart, but the merchant had already entered the house, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: When the filial piety period expires, he will definitely marry her earlier, otherwise, he will really make his heart anxious to death!
Shaking his head and shaking off the messy thoughts in his heart, Li Mo laughed for a moment, and then followed up in the room to help the merchant pack up the things he brought back.
put all kinds of dry goods on the shelves in the kitchen, and helped the merchants put the furs and clothes brought back from the Su family into the suitcase, and the original full compartment was finally cleaned up and revealed.
Shang Shang sighed comfortably on the soft couch, complaining but implying a sweet helplessness, and said: "I said a long time ago that I don't need to bring these many things, but Mother Song and Green Sleeves have to let me bring them, and they occupy so many places!" ”
Li Mo rubbed the head of the merchant connived, and persuaded with a smile: "Mother Song and Green Sleeves are also distressed that you are here with me, and no one will take care of you for you, so I will prepare more for you." ”
"I understand!" Shang Shang rested his head on Li Mo's lap and looked at his face.
The two of them looked at each other, entangled. Shang Shang stretched out a hand, stroked the scar on his face, and asked softly, "The weather was bad a few days ago, did it hurt when it snowed?" ”
The wound on Li Mo's face is deep and visible to the bone, and he has fallen into this problem since the injury, whenever the weather changes greatly, there will always be pain, sometimes the pain is so bad, and the layers of sweat on his body can soak all the clothes of the whole body.
"Don't worry." Li Mo raised his hand and held the hand that touched Shang Shang's face, and gently put it to his lips, his eyes full of tenderness.
The merchant was so frightened that his face turned pale and his lips trembled, and he still remembers it to this day.
Since that day, Li Mo promised her that he would never treat himself in such a self-harming and decisive way, just because his life was saved by her, and he needed to keep himself unharmed with her in his lifetime!
"You're coaxing me again!" The merchant said softly, but his eyes were clear.
No one knew his injuries better than she did, and she knew that he was just afraid of her worries.
"Hengzhu has nothing to do today, why don't we go to the mountains and take a look, and prepare sacrifices tomorrow." Li Mo was afraid that she would be worried, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
In the absence of the merchant during this period, he was also extremely bored, although he had also moved his mind to go for a walk in the mountains, but it was always a little boring to be alone.
"It's good!"
Shang Shang thought about it, he only came back yesterday evening, and he should indeed go to the mausoleum to worship. Although the day after tomorrow is the winter solstice, the mausoleum is built on the mountain, so it is not difficult to go up the mountain to worship.
Li Mo reached out to help her up, lifted the soft deer boots on the shoe rack by the door for her, and looked at her with a smile.
The merchant sat on the couch and playfully stretched out his feet to look at Li Mo, with a smile in his eyes, looking coquettish.
Li Mo smiled and shook his head, but he didn't scold her, bent down, took off her shallow embroidered shoes on her feet, put on the deerskin boots for her, and fastened the bootlaces.
"Let's go!" The merchant jumped to the ground, patted Li Mo on the shoulder, and jumped out first. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
