Chapter Twenty-Three: A Chance Encounter
At the same time, another voice sounded beneath his feet, "Little one, I've caught you!" ”
Pothos looked up and saw a sweet cheek with a smile on her face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This girl, I caught the rabbit first." Green pothos said to the girl in purple in front of her.
The girl in purple smiled, not caring at all, "Isn't it just a rabbit, if the girl likes it, give it to you." As he spoke, he let go of the hand that was pressed on the rabbit's leg, and said, "There are so many rabbits in this mountain, I'll catch one more." And I also set a trap over there, so it's not easy to catch a bigger prey, but it's not difficult to catch a small rabbit. ”
Hearing her say this, Green Yi was a little embarrassed, "Girl, because we've been chasing for a while, so we ......"
"It's okay, it's okay." The girl in purple said, "I see that you don't come to hunt often, if you don't have any harvest, the two pheasants I just hunted can also be given to you." ”
When she said this, the pothos was even more embarrassed. I opened my mouth and didn't know what to say, so I had to look back at my own young lady.
"Thank you to this girl, we don't want the pheasant." After Guo Xiaoxin finished speaking, he looked at the girl in purple from head to toe, and saw that she was eleven or twelve years old, her black hair was combed into two braids, although she had single eyelids, her eyes were narrow and long, her eyes were shiny, her skin was slightly darkened, she was wearing a set of purple shorts and pants, and she was carrying a bow and arrow as long as half of her height on her back. Looking at her sturdy figure, she must be agile and neat, and she must be a person who often hunts in the mountains.
When the girl in purple saw Guo Xiaoxin, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she praised without concealment: "You look so good!" ”
Guo Xiaoxin smiled, "The girl is also good-looking." ”
When the girl in purple heard this, she smiled "poof", and seemed to be very useful. When she saw Canaan coming from one side, her eyes lit up again, and she shook her head with an expression of disbelief, "Are you the fairy children of the heavens descending to earth?" Why do you look so good. ”
At this time, Guo Tongxin also laughed "poof", "Girl, have you ever seen a fairy boy chasing rabbits everywhere?" ”
"Not really." The girl in purple said again: "Then you are the young lady and young master in the city, and you have nothing to do to hunt in this mountain?" He looked at them empty-handed, and said with a smile: "And then you have nothing to gain, so you have to chase rabbits here?" ”
Pothos shrugged, "That's about what the girl said." ”
"Alright! Since you have found nothing, then I invite you to eat roast pheasants. The girl in purple said very boldly: "Let's find a cool place, and then everyone will go to the neighborhood to pick up some dry firewood and come back, and we can eat fragrant roast chicken in a while." ”
After chasing the hare in this mountain for a long time, the pothos had long felt hungry, and when she heard that there was a fragrant pheasant to eat, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, looking at Guo Xiaoxin with her eyes, and counting on her to nod.
Guo Tongxin glanced back at Canaan, "Canaan, are you hungry?" ”
Ganan nodded expressionlessly.
Oh, my God! Finally there was a little bit of a response.
After so many days, although she took good care of Ganan, although Ganan had to hold her hand every night to gradually fall asleep, although she had to say a basket of words to Ganan every day, but only this one sentence was "Oh? I got a little bit of a response from him.
"Okay, how about we go with this girl for roast chicken?" Seeing that he had a response, Guo Tongxin struck while the iron was hot and said another word.
Canaan nodded again.
Is this progress? Guo Tongxin was overjoyed, took Ganan's hand, and walked to the girl in purple, "Then there is Miss Lao, today you invite us to eat roast chicken, and when you go to the city on another day, we will invite you to eat pastries." ”
"Pastry?" The girl in purple smiled, "When Daddy went to the city before, he bought me pastries and came back, they were soft and glutinous, and they were really delicious!" ”
Speaking of this, several people smiled at the same time, and then found a shady open space, and each picked up some dry firewood and came back.
It can be seen that the girl in purple often lives in this mountain, and I saw that she neatly plucked the pheasant feathers, then pulled out a short knife from her waist, disemboweled the pheasant and took out the internal organs, and then skewered the pheasant with a sharpened wooden stick, and roasted it directly on the wooden frame.
"That's it?" Guo Xiaoxin leaned over and looked at it with some curiosity.
The girl in purple clapped her hands, "It's not enough, it's delicious to sprinkle some salt when it's almost ripe." ”
"You also carry salt with you?"
"That's natural, otherwise if you don't go back in the mountains for a few days, you will always have to eat."
Guo Tongxin was shocked, "Your girl's family can live on this mountain for several days, aren't you afraid?" ”
The girl in purple raised her head and said proudly: "Don't be afraid! There are nothing more than pheasants and beasts in the mountains, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Courage is also practiced little by little, my father said, when you are fearless, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
These words made Guo Tongxin feel a lot of emotion. Yes, when a person is fearless, what else can he be afraid of!
"May I ask the girl's name?"
The girl in purple flipped over the pheasant on the wooden shelf, and her attitude was very friendly, "My name is Jiang Yiling, I live at the foot of the mountain, my father is an ironworker, because he has a good weapon, and he is still a little famous in the city, and there are many people who come to my father from all over the world to fight weapons, so I don't lack any food and clothing. ”
"I see." Guo Xiaoxin nodded, "Then dare to ask the girl your father?" ”
"My father's surname is Jiang, but most people don't know this name, and they are usually called lame iron."
Cripple iron? Guo Tongxin's brows moved, and he felt that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
After thinking about it for a while, there seemed to be such a fragment in Xiao Guo Xiaoxin's memory.
One day, a distinguished guest came to the General's Mansion and drank tea with Guo Yuanbai in the pavilion in the back garden of the General's Mansion. At this time, the man said that he had brought back something important for General Guo. Xiao Guo Tong, who was playing on one side, thought it was something good, so he stretched his neck behind the rockery to look, but what the man carefully took out of the box turned out to be a black and hard piece of iron.
Later, through the conversation between the two people, Xiao Guo Xiaoxin learned that it was a thousand-year-old piece of cold iron, and they wanted to use this piece of iron to cast a weapon. However, in order to avoid wasting this precious thousand-year-old cold iron, it is necessary to find the top weapon-forging master in these five countries, the lame iron.
After that, she didn't pay attention to Guo Yuanbai anymore whether they had found Cripple Tie, but she didn't expect to meet Cripple Tie's daughter on the mountain of this Cloud Desolate City today.
