Chapter 22: A Threesome with Feelings Undercurrent
Hu Lijing heard Qin Yuang report his real name, and if he wanted to hide his identity, he was not sincere enough, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and answered the truth. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"It turns out that Brother Tai is the son of the lord of Qinjiabao Castle, it's really disrespectful! In Xia Hu Lijin, this is a water girl! We did meet Ling Zun and Uncle Ling a few days ago, and he took care of me and the water girl, especially for me! So...... We met Brother Tai in the town at noon, and I heard that Brother Tai meant to come to Luoxia Mountain to capture the demon, I didn't know what I could do, I wanted to rush to help Brother Tai, but I didn't expect Brother Tai to be so skilled, it was easy to get rid of the demon fox, and I really admired it! β
Qin Yuang said "ah" and blurted out: "This ...... It turned out to be a girl, no wonder ......" He suddenly stopped his mouth, probably swallowing back "so beautiful" and the like, and was quite embarrassed for a while, and apologized again and again: "I didn't notice it at the next moment, and I was naked in front of the girl, which is really offensive!" β
As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around, and still jumped in from the broken part of the thatched hut, and came out after a while, already neatly dressed.
"The two of you came to help, no matter what, they were deeply gracious!"
Qin Yuang bowed deeply to Hu Lijin Shui Dingdong, Hu Lijin hurriedly returned the salute, Shui Dingdong had already asked Hu Lijin along the way about the etiquette of women of this era, so he was so so-so and blessed.
"This thatched hut is entrenched by demon foxes, and there is quite a fox atmosphere in it, but it is too late now, if you rush late at night, I am afraid that the girl's body will not be able to support it. Why don't we go two miles forward, there is a mountain temple there, although it has been abandoned, it is cleaner than here, how about we get there for one night? β
Shui Dingdong just saw him kill the demon fox, how fierce, but at this time he was polite and gentlemanly, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him. But she is a girl after all, and it is difficult to open her mouth to agree to an invitation from a strange man in the middle of the night, so she can only look back at Hu Lijin.
"That's great!"
Hu Lijin nodded, and suddenly opened his mouth to whistle. But listening to the horse's hooves, his black horse soon came running from the other side of the mountain. The jujube red horse with the water dingdong also followed.
Qin Yuang's horse was behind the thatched house, and Qin Yuang went to lead it and hung the two demon foxes, one left and one right, on both sides of the horse. In his words, the fur of such an adult fox is much richer than that of an ordinary fox, so it is necessary to wait until after dawn to peel off the fox skin and keep it.
Shui Dingdong thought that Fang Cai was obviously two beautiful women, and he really wanted to peel off the fox skin, as if he had peeled off the skin of two women. couldn't help but feel quite unbearable in his heart, and when he turned his face to see Hu Lijin's face indifferent, he suddenly remembered that he was also a male fox spirit, and he really let him see his kind being skinned miserably, and he must not know what it was like in his heart.
After a moment's thought, he smiled at Qin Yu and said, "Little sister has a reluctant request, I wonder if Qin Gongzi can agree?" β
"The girl said it was!" Qin Yuang immediately responded with a smile.
"I just ...... Obviously, I saw that it was two beauties, even if it was a fox demon, you really wanted to ...... I still feel very cruel after skinning them! So...... Can you ask Gongzi Qin to give me these two foxes and let me bury them on the spot? β
"This ......" Qin Yuang couldn't help but scratch his head, "The girl is really too kind-hearted, these two fox demons don't know how many lives they have hurt, and they have been skinned, they are all cheap!" β
"So...... Qin Gongzi refused to send me? The water dingdong chased after him.
"How could you not?" Qin Yuang laughed again, not only his eyes were shining in the moonlight, but his teeth were also very white, "Since the girl has such a good heart, I will naturally not be unfulfilled!" However, it is too troublesome to bury it on the spot, and there is no shovel or anything like that, so it is better to put it in a hut and burn it clean! Lest you keep the hut and let other demons entrench and harm people! β
Shui Dingdong didn't know if setting fire to it would make Hu Lijin feel bad, so she couldn't help but turn her face to look, but saw Hu Lijin nodding slightly towards her.
"Okay, just do what Gongzi Qin said!" Shui Dingdong turned his face back, and immediately put a smile on his face again, "It's just...... Will it start a wildfire? If the hut burns and the trees on the mountain are also on fire, it will be a catastrophe! β
"The girl is really thoughtful!" Qin Yuang couldn't help but smile "haha", stretched out his hand and pointed to the left and right, "You see that there are all grassy slopes around here, and there are no trees or anything like that." And after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weeds have not yet dried up, and it is difficult to burn in patches, so the girl can rest assured! β
The water dingdong has nothing to say. Qin Yuang threw the two foxes into the hut, and then lit the fire folds and set the thatch on the roof on fire.
The three of them stood a few zhang away, and waited until the thatched hut was completely engulfed in flames, and the weeds on the ground were indeed as Qin Yuang said, and they did not spread in a large area, and then they were relieved.
After that, Hu Lijin first helped Shui Dingdong to ride on the back of the red horse, and he himself turned over on the black horse.
Qin Yuang rode his own white horse, and by the light of the burning fire in the thatched hut, a group of three rode slowly in the direction pointed by Qin Yuang.
After walking a short distance, I saw the mountain temple that Qin Yuang said. Although it is also dilapidated, it is much better than the thatched house.
When Hu Lijin helped Shui Dingdong to get off the horse, Qin Yuang pushed open the temple door with "squeak" and screamed, and Hu Lijin took out a candle from the package and lit it.
Along the way, Hu Lijin can always find all kinds of useful gadgets from the package, and I don't know if he is really thoughtful or he changes casually. Shui Dingdong once asked him about this question, and he smiled and asked Shui Dingdong to guess by himself, so Shui Dingdong guessed that eighty percent of it was conjured up by him.
Half of the mountain temple in the temple collapsed, but the confession was good. Hu Lijin looked at the temple for a while, and then walked to the back of the temple quietly.
Qin Yuang looked left and right, but he really couldn't find anything else, so he simply swept the dust on the confession with his own package, and while dusting off the dust on the package, he flushed the water and said with a smile: "The girl will be here for one night, Brother Hu and I will take a nap wherever we are!" β
Sleeping in the wilderness that day, Hu Lijin once conjured a bed to sleep on, but with Qin Yuang accompanying him today, it was impossible for Hu Lijin to reveal his spells casually. So Shui Dingdong hurriedly thanked him.
Qin Yuang untied his burden, took out a robe from inside, and spread it flat on top of the confession. Seeing that he was polite and thoughtful, Shui Dingdong became more and more envious of him, and did not refuse, so he came over and sat down on the case.
Qin Yuang went to the corner of the wall and sat down, and by the candlelight he peeked at the water dingdong Jiaojiao's beauty, and couldn't help but ask her: "Girl...... With this Brother Hu...... What is the relationship? β
"Him?" Shui Dingdong opened his mouth to say that he was my "colleague", and then thought that in this era, even if girls can do things with men, there is no word "colleague". It is even more difficult to say that it is a "friend", because in this feudal era, the relationship between men and women is probably very different from the meaning of the 21st century. So she hesitated a little and could only lie, "He's my cousin!" β
"Cousin?" Qin Yuang's eyes lit up, and he pondered and asked again, "It's just cousin?" β
"What else could it be?" Shui Dingdong looked at his bright eyes, his face turned red, and he suddenly understood what he meant, "He is my cousin, he is accompanying me to Chang'an......"
She felt in her heart that she should tell Qin Yuan that she already had a "fiancΓ©", but she couldn't find a word that could accurately replace "fiancΓ©". I barely thought of "Xianggong" or "husband", but neither "Xianggong" nor "husband" could express the meaning of "unmarried".
And these two words are sour, and she really can't say it.
As a result, just when she hesitated and didn't know how to express it, Hu Lijin walked back from behind, holding a large handful of hay in her hand.
Seeing that Shui Dingdong was already sitting on the confession case, and there was a man's robe on the confession, Hu Lijin couldn't help frowning, but he only smiled on his face and said, "If you don't lay some hay, can you sleep on the case?" β
Shui Dingdong hurriedly got up, and at the same time, Qin Yuang also jumped up, a little embarrassed.
Since he traveled the rivers and lakes alone, he often slept in the wilderness, and always found a random place to spend the night, completely ignoring the problem of the desk being too hard.
Seeing the water dingdong pursing his lips and smiling, Qin Yuang hurriedly walked over and picked up his robe from the confession case, and helped Hu Lijin spread the hay on the case, and then spread his robe on the hay again.
Hu Lijin took his own package and put it on the side of the confession, and used it as a pillow for the water dingdong.
"Brother Hu is so careful!" Qin Yuang praised. Probably because Hu Lijin is a "cousin", he has a little flattery on his face.
Hu Lijin smiled slightly, walked to the other corner and sat down against the wall. Qin Yuang returned to where he had sat before, looked at Hu Lijin's face, and spoke again with a smile.
"I just heard from the water girl that the two of you are going to Chang'an. It just so happens that I want to go back to Qinjiabao, and I have been on the way with the two of you, so I can help you two be a guide. That's right! Have you eaten at night? I've rewound some dry food, would you like to eat some? β
As he spoke, he was already reaching out to unwrap the package. Hu Lijin was quite tired of his enthusiasm and hospitality, although there was a smile on his face, his words were cold and crisp.
"We've already eaten dry food on the way. It's not early at this time, so let's quickly turn off the lights and rest, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow morning! β
Even if Qin Yuang wanted to continue talking, he was speechless at this time, so he could only re-tie the package, smile at the water, and lean against the wall to close his eyes and sleep peacefully.
This is the second time Shui Dingdong has spent the night in the same room with a man, and this time there are two men at the same time. With Qin Yuang's robe on his upper body, he felt a faint smell of men penetrating into his nose, and Shui Dingdong couldn't help but think of Zhang Min who was far away in Xi'an again, thinking that he didn't know if he missed himself at the moment.
It was not until the candle jumped out that the water dingdong gradually fell asleep.
