Fifty-three. Jade Skull
"What ....... are they? Before she finished speaking, she felt that her waist was slammed, and her body spun in mid-air for half a circle, and she hit Situ Yi's arms fiercely.
"Help me get in the way!" His pleading voice swept over her ears, and the warm breath swirled around her neck like a spring breeze in March, warm and crispy, so stirring that she did not dare to move.
In front of everyone's eyes, Qin Nanxi was held in Situ Yi's arms. She stared at him with a blushing face, but all she could see was his chin with blue and black stubble, and he didn't look at her at all, his eyes were falling on the row of girls in front of him.
The girls' singing stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the five doubles were fixed on Qin Nanxi in Situ Yi's arms.
There was a cry of applause all around.
Qin Nanxi's face was purple and red, and he tried his best to drive away the curses that he had in his heart. She froze innocently in various eyes for a moment, and soon realized a fact: "Instead of depicting more and more black, it is better to advance and retreat with him for the time being." ”
As soon as her mind turned like this, she quietly took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at him, cleared her throat, and said calmly and loudly: "I don't mind if you marry a child, it's just that they have to act according to my rules when they enter the door!" You must not be partial! So saying, she reached out and tried to take the knots from the girls' hands for him.
Situ Yi turned his head sideways in response, and looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief.
Qin Nanxi glanced at him and said with a smirk: "Is it still virtuous and wise as a wife?" With that, she took advantage of the momentum and struggled out of his arms while he was in shock.
Situ Yi looked at her with his mouth half-open, his arms hanging in the air, and he looked at her in a daze, his eyes changed like flowing clouds.
On the stall behind them, the enthusiastic proprietress sighed lowly: "Huh~ This pair is really strange!" In the crowd, some people praised her magnanimity, some people envied Situ Yi's beautiful fortune, and some people shook their heads and didn't understand their absurdity.
Qin Nanxi turned a deaf ear to everything, she seemed to have entered a no-man's land, with a generous and tolerant smile, calmly greeted the row of girls.
It is true that the people of Yunze generation are upright, but there are not many men here to marry. Usually monogamous to the end of their lives, and even occasionally give up halfway, and the rest of the promise made for life in order to keep the hand is often widowed. Qin Nanxi had heard about these things from Xiaofei a few days ago, and the two of them sighed for a while at that time. I didn't expect that so soon, this folk style could be used by Qin Nanxi.
She knew that the girls in front of her had taken a fancy to Situ Yi, and she also knew that they came together openly, but they were just competing fairly, and she just wanted him to choose one of them. Qin Nanxi not only generously admitted that he was his wife, but also asked him to take them all in and make them smaller. She knew that this was something they could not understand and accommodate.
The five girls stared at Qin Nanxi, who was approaching step by step, and four of them quickly retracted their hands.
However, there was still the last pair of palms, which still held the red and green colored thread wishful knot, quietly hanging in the cold air, probing forward provocatively, and facing Qin Nanxi.
This, completely unexpected!
Qin Nanxi sighed in her heart, and secretly said, "Not good", she never thought that there would be a girl who would be willing to marry Situ Yi to be a child! Puzzled, she raised her head, only to see a pair of sly eyes meet her, pondering and searching on her face.
Could it be that Fang Cai's self betrayed himself shyly? Or did the play go too far? Qin Nanxi thought to herself secretly and was puzzled.
This time, she learned what it was -- a dilemma. In front of her was the girl who was already competing for favor before she even started, and behind her was the whispering of the crowd.
Qin Nanxi was still slowly moving forward under his feet, but in his heart, he frantically hoped that Situ Yi behind him would do something casually and block the situation somewhat. But he only stood quietly behind her, smiling as if it were nothing to do with himself, looking at her from a distance.
Qin Nanxi, who was anxious and couldn't have a seizure, greeted him with a stiff face and smiled, and said secretly through gritted teeth: "Okay, you beg me to help you, and leave me alone in embarrassment!" Don't blame me for dragging you into the water and recruiting you a woman to go back! ”
Evil thoughts are simply catastrophic, Qin Nanxi thought of this, and felt that her heart was much smoother, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and the corners of her lips immediately fluttered, and she calmly stretched out her hand. Her snow-white hands reached out of the wide sleeves of her leather jacket, and the string of gorgeous coral beads on her wrist shimmered red in the sun, leaning towards the red and green tassels that fluttered in the wind.
"Hey~" Situ Yi was in a hurry.
Qin Nanxi had already made up his mind to rectify him, and reached out mercilessly.
No, she grasped the emptiness.
I saw that the girl in front of her seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and she suddenly withdrew her hand and went back. The sly smile on the corners of her lips had dissipated. Her gaze was wrapped around the begonia red on Qin Nanxi's wrist for a moment, and then she looked up at Situ Yi, who had caught up.
Situ Yi, who greeted the two of them, sighed secretly and nodded apologetically to the girl.
Seeing this, the girl took a step back, raised her right hand to touch her heart and owed Situ Yi, while muttering and not knowing what to say, she turned around and ran away. Behind her, several other girls also owed a debt and disappeared.
"Hey~" Qin Nanxi was completely stunned, and turned around and was about to speak, but saw Situ Yi on the side also caressing his heart with his right hand, slightly owing his upper body, and greeting in the direction where they disappeared.
"She, what is she doing?" She withdrew her hand, which had been hanging for a long time, and said, as if it was a pity that she had not been able to recruit the girl back to him.
Situ Yi got up, glanced at the girl's almost disappeared back, turned to her and smiled, "People are afraid that your rules are too big and don't dare to enter the door!" His eyes were full of smiles at this time, as if he himself was an outsider, and he had just watched a cheerful martial fight.
"I don't know what to do!" Qin Nanxi glared at him fiercely and turned to leave.
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd of onlookers.
Situ Yi lost the pressure of being forced, rushed to her back, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, lady! If you don't think your husband is eye-catching, let's just stay here, I'll take you to a good place, okay? ”
Qin Nanxi turned his head and stood up with two eyebrows and silently demonstrated to him. She was not annoyed by his desperate request for help, but she was annoyed that he was going to be wrong at the moment.
Situ Yi squinted and smiled, grabbed her sleeve, and led her out of the market from the laughter of onlookers.
Outside the southwest gate of Yunze City, there is a large meadow, where many mules and horses are kept in captivity waiting to enter the market. Although it was the most depressed season in the mule and horse market in the month of Layue, behind the half-man-high hay stack around the field, there were still more than a hundred strong mules and horses tied to each other.
Mules and horses are not uncommon to Qin Nanxi, but what she is used to seeing are horses waiting at the gate of the mansion with their heads bowed and drooping ears. Even though the horses were tall, they were as docile as cats and dogs kept by their side. And she had never seen such a leaping horse in front of her, desperately trying to break free from the reins. She stood outside the paddock, daring to watch from afar.
After a while, she saw Situ Yi leading a jujube red horse and slowly walking towards her.
"Why do the horses keep barking?" Qin Nanxi raised his hand and pointed to the horse's head that jumped up from time to time in the herd and asked him. The fresh and powerful scene in front of her made her ignore the episode between the two at the fair.
Situ Yi glanced at the heads of the horses in the paddock, as if he had forgotten the previous scene in the bazaar, his men neatly tied the saddles, and said to her: "They don't want to be sold like this." ”
"Sold? Are they going to be trafficked to the Central Plains? Qin Nanxi turned his head to him, sympathizing with the futile struggling horses in the paddock.
Situ Yi shook his head and said: "Yucong is very fierce, if it is allowed to leave the grassland, it will go on a hunger strike and seek death, and it will not be transported to the customs at all, and no one wants to do such a loss-making transaction." The horses here are all selected and eliminated, but they themselves still feel that they are war horses, and they are unwilling to do so, so it is difficult to control. ”
"This is the jade skull that is famous in the frontier?" Qin Nanxi looked carefully at the group of horses in front of him for a long time, and then said curiously: "They are going to die of hunger strike when they leave the grassland?" Could it be that Yu Cong's ** can be so smart that he has the same emotions as people who can't leave his homeland? ”
Although she had also seen some stories of human nature in the book, she only felt that it was the hypocrisy of the literati and the deliberate rendering of pen and ink.
"It's not that they can't leave Yunze, Yucheng was originally a wild horse, and the days of being tamed are not long, the wild nature has not dispersed, and the temperament is still very strong, they just don't want to leave the grassland, if they force it to leave, it would rather die." Situ Yi glanced at the galloping horses in the field from a distance, and whispered: "But if it weren't for such a fierce character, I wouldn't have tamed them to make war horses." ”
"You tamed the jade skull?" Qin Nanxi turned her head to stare at him in surprise and asked, and couldn't help but admire a little. She knew the reputation of the jade congregation, and she also knew that the jade congregation was indeed a horse breed that had only been born in recent years, but she didn't know that the jade congregation was domesticated by Situ Yi himself.
Situ Yi only nodded indifferently when he heard this: "The wild goose is the foal of the jade congregation, its parents are both tamed by me, and most of the war horses of the northern cavalry over the years are the foals of the jade congregation." ”
"Stepping on a goose? Is that your big dark horse who is even more famous than you? Qin Nanxi looked at the look of love in his eyes, and asked more curiously: "Are the parents of the wild goose as beautiful as it?" Where did you find them? She tilted her head to look at him, expecting nothing more than an interesting story to be talked about. However, she didn't know that it was fifteen-year-old Situ Yi's fateful move.
