Chapter Seventy-Eight: The City of Shanshan
Qiong'er came out of the kitchen with a food box, and when she passed the courtyard, she heard those porters talking again, "These barbarians in the north are really unreasonable, not to say that our Loulan detained their third prince and took 100,000 iron horsemen in the north, but they refused to withdraw their troops!" ”
"What are you afraid of, they can't get in anyway!"
"Who is afraid that they will come in, they will not even be able to walk in the desert, and they will die on the road! Lao Tzu is saying that these brutes are holding Bishui City and the important cities of Xianyun City, and they don't let us transport supplies, they are planning to trap us! ”
"Who's afraid they're sleepy? Shanshan City is the largest oasis in this desert, and self-sufficiency is no problem at all, and besides, our Hulan Royal City also has so much food stored, are you afraid that they will be besieged? ”
"That's right, but not necessarily in dozens of other cities!"
"Alas! Oh, yes! They are miserable, they can't eat, and it's useless to just drink water! ”
"Alas, but we're also stuck here, and we don't know when we're leaving!"
Qiong'er walked over with a food box and lowered her eyes, and went into the side room, and the men behind her secretly pointed to her and started a new day, "This girl is also pitiful, not to mention that her man was robbed by sand thieves, and was chased by sand wolves and almost died in the desert." Although he survived, his appearance was ruined! Tsk tsk"
A beautiful woman with green eyes came out of the kitchen, followed her two daughters with a meal, and placed it in the middle of the table of several men.
"You idle teeth, in order to save her, other men were bitten off a large piece of meat by the sand wolf!" It was one of the daughters who spoke, who looked like the beautiful woman, with a watery touch of love in her green eyes, like two emeralds embedded in her fair face, which was obviously sarcastic about these cheap men and women who favored women, but the crisp voice made everyone unable to be annoyed.
The novelty of this compound can not be hidden from the porters who rent here, knowing the love and loyalty of this girl's angry young couple, all the men immediately looked at her sour appearance with ridicule, and the beautiful woman next to her angry gave her daughter a white look, and said angrily, "Why don't you say it, the witch doctor came to see the man and said that he may not be able to live, but this girl feels sorry for her man, and is willing to use it for him no matter what good things are?" And this girl can embroider flowers and clothes, and now she has a big job to earn money! ”
A man who picked up chopsticks to eat smashed the chicken in his mouth, nodded in agreement, "Such a good woman, if I were this man, I would never dislike her for being ugly!" ”
Another man was a little knowledgeable, and seemed to think of something and said, "It is not common to be able to take on the work of bridal clothes, how can the craftsmanship of a big family be passed on casually?" This girl can't be the daughter of the velvet embroidery family, who eloped with this man, right? ”
"Huh? Don't say it, it's possible! The other men agreed, and even the beautiful woman and her two daughters looked over with curiosity on their faces.
"Definitely not, how could the daughter of the velvet embroidery family run out? After the lockdown, they didn't contact the outside world! Besides, there are more girls who can embroider in Hulan City now, who said that the bridal dress that can embroider is the velvet embroidery? "A big old man came from Hulan Wangcheng and directly refuted that person.
"Oh, yes!"
"yes, why do you think these two people are alone? We are going from east to west, when didn't hundreds of thousands of people set off together? When encountering sand pirates, they don't dare to attack such a large team! Maybe these two people are really hard-working mandarin ducks, eloped out and were targeted by sand thieves, robbed their belongings, and lost them to the sand wolf! ”
"Anyway! Two little lovers, pitiful! ”
“……”
Inside the room, isolated from all kinds of discussions outside, Qiong'er opened the food box, brought a bowl of japonica rice, vegetables and meat porridge, and came to the bed to help the person who had already woken up.
Yue Jinsheng has been awake for several days, but he doesn't know how to face the girl in front of him. At that time, he thought that they were all going to die, so he could no longer control his thoughts, and his true feelings were revealed, and he made incomplete promises.
But now, they are alive again
Sometimes he really feels that God is teasing himself, and people who shouldn't be together always get together. Since he picked up this girl, why can't he be separated?
Since she was born, she has no freedom at all and has no right to choose life, so how can she give her the free life she has always wanted? Even as the prince of the North, he couldn't marry her as a wife and give her an upright status, unless he got out of that cage
However, the most important thing is that this girl is the sweetheart set by his cousin, and before he left, he promised his cousin to bring her back this time to marry him.
frowned, when did you start planning for this girl? lowered her eyelids to hide her thoughts, and obediently let the rude girl paste the rice grains on her face.
"I've inquired, the Beibi army has occupied the three cities of Loulan, and the road to Tianliu and Beibi is broken, so we can only stay in Shanshan City to recuperate for the time being!"
Qiong'er inquired about the outside every day when he had time, and these merchants and porters in the desert came and went to bring back all kinds of news, all of which proved that Beibi sent troops immediately after their disappearance, and now they have occupied the three border fortresses of Loulan, and are facing off against the Yue Dynasty and Loulan's soldiers.
Yue Jinsheng just nodded, he had just been restored in the ancient city before, but in that day's fighting, he lost a lot of meat on his shoulder and back in order to protect Qiong'er, although it had been more than ten days, but he was still very weak. After eating the porridge and drinking the unknown black thick soup prescribed by the local old witch doctor, he was groggy and came up again, and before he had time to ask some details, he fell asleep again.
Qiong'er packed up the food box and put it aside, picked up the basket on the table, and carried it to the window, and then sewed the wedding dress with stitches and threads in the afternoon when the sun was sufficient.
It is said that his daughter is going to get married, because there is no trade outside, and it is impossible to go to Bishui City to buy, and the Shanshan clan has a large caravan of goods that has just returned from outside, so come to Shanshan City to try their luck and buy some items to marry.
Qiong'er herself didn't know how they were still in the ancient city that day, and after that burst of light and flying sand, the two of them actually appeared in the desert.
Then he happened to be rescued by the merchant's team, took them to Shanshan City, and arranged for the two of them to live in this mansion to recuperate.
In order to thank this kind man, Qiong'er sent a handkerchief embroidered by herself, in fact, she wanted to give the gold leaf directly, but unfortunately she and Yue Jinsheng had a special situation, and when this kind of downfall, it was better not to make gold and silver and other things more eye-catching.
Unexpectedly, the man liked the veil so much that he came to see her in person, and asked her to embroider a wedding dress for his daughter.
In the soft sunlight, the attentive face shone brightly, and the eyes of the person on the bed were obscure, and he didn't know how to face the dome of Yue Jinsheng, and every time he finished eating, he could only pretend to be asleep to avoid the conversation between the two.
Slowly moved the hand under the quilt and touched the position of the chest, they are in Shanshan City, do you want to contact that Shanshanqi? It's just that
Thinking of that guy's request for himself, looking at the figure by the window, his eyes were even more astringent by the sun!
Since you can't marry her, at least give her freedom!
