Chapter 7: The Boudoir
His eyes gradually shone brightly: "Thank you, girl!" He paused: "It's not that you saved me, or that you comforted me, but that you were willing to come to me in the darkest time of my life." ”
Ah Cuo smiled: "It's just a coincidence, why bother thanking?" I would like to kindly remind you: I am two years older than you, you should call me sister! ”
Minglang scratched his head in annoyance: "I'm just worried that I'm younger than you...... It turns out that it's really a little bit younger than you. His eyes turned around, trying to divert the topic, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Ah, you are sixteen years old, isn't it the age of your wife?" Our Chimelong national customs, on this day girls have to wear flowers, wear flower crowns, and salute their parents to the heavens and the earth, which is very grand. You...... What do we do? ”
Ah Cuo looked up at the sky, and among the mottled leaves, the sky was blue and blue, and the clouds were as soft as feather yarn, much like the feather gauze clothes worn by the women of their moonlight country. In fact, the customs of the three kingdoms of Yuezhao, Chimelong, and Tianqian are similar, and the girl's sixteen-year-old boudoir ceremony is also similar. Through this ceremony, the father and mother announced to the world: The daughter has grown up and can talk about marriage. So if this girl is beautiful, her boudoir ceremony is quite lively, and not only relatives and friends come to watch the ceremony, but also men of appropriate age from near and far. So many women made a love at their boudoir ceremony and made a hundred-year covenant with the man in the picture.
After a while, she smiled at Mingming: "You have lived in the palace for a long time, so you are so particular." I'm a man of the mountains and wilderness, so I don't care about that. She got up and picked up the basket: "I haven't found many herbs yet, but the gossip is a basket, work!" "Lift your feet and go.
Minglang squinted at her back and smiled knowingly.
When he returned home in the evening, Ah Cuo really couldn't stand his up, down, left and right, and knocked on the side, and said his birthday: July 25, this month, counting the time, there are still ten days.
Minglang was overjoyed, but he didn't say anything.
In the next few days, Minglang drilled into the mountains every day, but refused to tell Ah Cuo what he was going to do. Ah Cuo has to make medicine and take care of the patient, and he has no time to be distracted from him. Before I knew it, the twenty-fifth was coming.
At dawn that day, Ah Cuo got up early to breathe and meditate as usual, and when he opened the door half an hour later, he saw a man and a dog sitting on the big stone next to the stone steps. People are bright, and dogs are naturally small wow. What is strange is that the big stone has been surrounded by all kinds of flowers, just like a large flower screen, and there are a few colorful butterflies dancing up and down around the flower screen, which is very beautiful.
Ah Cuo was stunned, I don't know what kind of demon moth these two guys are playing.
Minglang held his hand, flew down, and brought the fat little wow down by the way. Xiao Wow rushed towards Ah Cuo like a yellow ball of meat. In the past two months, it has more than doubled in size, and the dog's face has gradually grown, with a square head and a broad nose, but it is still fleshy, and Ah Cuo can't even hold it.
Minglang also walked towards her, his hand pinned behind his back, and when he got closer, he took out a crown full of flowers from behind him.
This corolla is very delicately made, it is made of bamboo strips, tied into the shape of a phoenix crown, and carefully selected five-colored flowers, densely embellished. The flowers were the same size, all freshly bloomed, and there were even dewdrops rolling on the fresh petals.
Minglang stared deeply at the slim Ah Cuo under the rising sun, and said softly: "Girl, I can't make flowers, but there is still a way to make flowers." Although it is simple, it is the only one in the world, dedicated to my only girl! He bent down to her, his hands raised flat, and presented the flower crown.
Tears rolled in Ah Kuo's eyes. The sudden affection moved her and overwhelmed her. Accustomed to alienation, avoidance, and resistance, this was the first time in six years that she had accepted it, and it was so expected. She stretched out her hand and took the flower crown, and also took the young man's deep heart.
He blinked vigorously and forced back the tears: "You bothered, I like it very much!" ”
A bright smile is warmer than the morning sun. He carefully helped Ah Cuo put the flower crown on his head, and suddenly, the girl in front of him became a flower fairy: she wore a five-colored flower crown and a pale green robe, as if she had just fallen from the clouds to the mortal world.
Minglang looked at it with bated breath and sighed: "Girl, you are so good-looking!" Hearing the sincerity of his words, Ah Cuo couldn't help but smile coquettishly and lowered his head.
Minglang beckoned, and Xiao Wow ran to him very obediently and squatted down. The two stood and squatted, facing the girl in the middle of the field. Minglang raised his voice and said: "The gift of the master of the Red Leaf Peak Mercy Flower Hall, Miss Acuo's beauties, starts now!" Worship heaven and earth! ”
Wearing a flower crown on his head, Ah Cuo bowed deeply to the sun and the morning glow in front of him.
"Worship parents!"
Ah Cuo thought about it, turned to the west, the birthplace of his mother, and bowed deeply.
When she got up, Minglang continued: "The emperor and the queen of earth are witnesses, may she be peaceful and happy for a lifetime!" His voice was clear, penetrating the mountains and rocks and forests, penetrating the clear clouds, and spreading far, far and wide. With that, he raised his hand, and a handful of fragrant petals flew towards her, enveloping her in a rain of petals. Ah Cuo picked up his dress and turned happily in a circle in the rain of petals.
He looked at her dancing and silently swallowed the next sentence: "The mountains and rivers and the earth are proof, I, Xuanyuan Lang, am willing to marry Miss Acao forever in this life, and I have no regrets!" ”
Don't dare to say it, because you are not confident. At this time, he was like a wanderer, and he was not strong enough to give her any guarantees, and she was so beautiful and so good, he was afraid that she would refuse, and he was afraid that as soon as the words came out, it would become a gap between them. So he doesn't say. But he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't tell when it started, maybe when she was panting and carrying him on her back to climb the Red Leaf Peak, maybe when she carefully fed him porridge and drank medicine, maybe it was when she smiled innocently...... In short, his heart had sunk.
Xiao Wow was also too excited, and roared towards the rising sun. The mountains responded faintly, and it was quite imposing. Xiao Wow himself was also startled, he looked at Minglang proudly and flicked his tail.
Minglang gave it a new food bowl a month ago, so these days it has started an extremely tangled mode of getting along with Minglang: Minglang teases it, and it often arrogantly does not cooperate: but when Minglang has something to find it, it always follows it upside down. Because he knows that everything that is clear is fun.
For example, these days, they cut bamboo and look for wildflowers in the mountains, and they moved the wildflowers back to the bottom of the cliff near the Lianhuatang so that Ah Cuo would not find out. I had to come to see them every day, and I brought grass ash to fertilize them. Although it couldn't help, it had a lot of fun and gained a lot: it bit three hares to death, cooperated with Minglang to hunt a roe deer, and subdued an elk. Minglang said that the elk was a mythical beast and could not be bitten to death, so it let it go. But as soon as it roars, the elk will appear in front of it.
Ah Cuo noticed its abnormality, squatted down and stroked its soft hair, and said, "Why do I feel more and more that Xiao Wow is not simple?" The cry just now was faintly kingly! When I was a kid, I saw tigers in hunting grounds, and that's how they roared. ”
Minglang also squatted down: "There is a beast in the northwest mountains of our Chimelong country, which is like a dog when it is young, and like a lion when it grows up, it is called a lion mastiff, and its personality is fierce and aggressive, but it is extremely loyal to its master. I've heard of it for a long time, but I've never seen it with my own eyes. If my guess is correct, Wow is a lion mastiff. ”
Ah Cuo was surprised: "Then won't we pick up the treasure - Xiao Wow, remember that your master is my ......" Minglang next to him hurriedly came up: "And me!" ”
It was the first time that Xiao Wow was so highly valued by the two, Xiao Wow's heart trembled twice with excitement, and she couldn't help but want to do something, hesitated, and didn't dare to make a mistake at it, turned her head to her bright face, teased her long tongue, and offered a hot and spicy kiss.
Minglang fell to the ground with a scream, stretched out his sleeve and wiped the dog spit all over his face, while spitting non-stop. Ah Kuo laughed crookedly to the ground, and the corners of Xiao Wow's mouth almost grinned behind his ears.
The two laughed for a while, then ended this unique boudoir ceremony, went back to the house to freshen up, and had breakfast.
Then, they welcomed the first person in heaven and earth to seek medical treatment.
This is a thin middle-aged man with mouse eyes and a goatee, who always looks at people with slanted eyes and a lewd look. Ah Cuo saw that his eyes were raw, presumably not from Fulai Town, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The man didn't speak, only used his cloudy yellow eyes to circle around Ah Cuo sticky, and Minglang was angry in his heart, dodged in front of Ah Cuo, and said coldly: "Mr. is coming to see a doctor or a person?" ”
The man immediately laughed and said that he was not coming to see a doctor, but to ask for medicine for the eldest of his family.
Minglang sat down on the stool and said, "My doctor is resting today, and I will sit in the hall." Say, what kind of medicine do you ask? ”
When the man heard this, he took a yellow eyeball and glanced at it. Minglang was angry, and slapped the table with a "bang", and the teapots and cups on the table also jumped up together, startling the man. Ming Lang glared at him and said, "Today's sitting doctor is my Doctor Ming, are you seeing a doctor or a person?" ”
