86 In the past: in the middle of a night in the mountains
……
My fifth brother and I only stayed in the desert for one day, and then we bought a carriage and prepared to leave for the capital of the Song Kingdom.
I also had a lot of disputes with my fifth brother about how to walk.
He said that he would ride a horse, so that he could enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way quickly, and when he said this, he deliberately accentuated the word beauty, and I clutched my chest and retched. But in the end, he was defeated by me, who couldn't ride a horse, so I had to buy a carriage and stagger on the road.
As for this car driver, it is naturally my good fifth brother. And I was holding a large bag of dried fruit preserves, and while eating, I disliked his ability to drive cars.
"Alas, will you catch the car, the persimmons I ate are going to be spit out!"
The fifth brother in front of the curtain ignored me, so I felt deeply lonely, and opened the curtain and poked my head out to talk to him.
"Fifth brother, are you tired?"
He gave me a blank look, and then asked, "What do you say?" ”
I nodded, naturally tired. You see that he is not only very uncomfortable sitting in front, but also keeps shouting and controlling the horse to ensure that the carriage does not overturn, which is really a technical job, but fortunately, the fifth brother is not stupid, and he will get started quickly.
I stuffed another piece of candied fruit into my mouth, and then selected the largest and most crystal clear one from the package in my arms and handed it to the fifth brother's mouth, flattering: "This is delicious, do you want one too!" ”
A question sentence made me say an imperative sentence, and with this slightly familiar advertising slogan, it feels very funny.
I still saw this big bag of food in my hand when I was about to leave the city gate, and I saw it at a small stall. I pulled the fifth brother to prevent him from leaving, and insisted that he buy a pack for me. After all, it's a long way to go, and it's really not good to be accompanied by something to eat. Think about it. I glanced at another large cloth bag behind the carriage, which contained three days' worth of dry food and water, as well as dried meat and pastries.
It only takes one day to ride a horse from the desert to the capital of the Song Kingdom, but if you take a carriage, you will inevitably be delayed on the road, and the speed is slow, and the three-day journey may be quite fast.
The fifth brother turned his head sideways to avoid my hand, and said lightly: "I don't eat this kind of woman's food." ”
I pouted. I simply lifted the curtain and sat down beside him.
Although this is not the first time I have taken a carriage, it is the first time I feel so comfortable, especially when I can see Song Yuan three days later, I can't stop being excited, and after the excitement, I am stunned, what if Song Yuan has a wife at home, or a few concubines who are as beautiful as flowers?
Fortunately, I had food in my hands, and I quickly threw this stubble aside, life is so short. Why bother to find some trouble to embarrass yourself.
But I have to say that the scenery along the way is really impressive.
We passed through the bamboo forest, through the shade of the trees, and walked across the small bridge and the flowing water to the wide official road.
"The snow is clear and the sky is clear. Plum is fragrant everywhere. Riding a donkey dam across the bridge, the bells jingled. Jingle Clank Bell ...... Jingle ...... Jingle ...... Good flowers are harvested and offered, accompanied by the sound of my book and the rhyme of the piano. Have a good time together! ”
I sang this song indistinctly with dates in my mouth. As soon as the end of the note fell, I heard the fifth brother say, "Where is Lamei?" Also, we're horses. Can't you even recognize a horse and a donkey? ”
Eh, don't say it, I really can't recognize the horse and the donkey, of course I can't say this to the fifth brother, I swallowed the dates in my mouth, smiled in front of the fifth brother and asked: "That's how people write this word, it's just a kind of artistic conception, don't you think it's very feeling?" ”
The fifth brother looked ahead and nodded, and said, "No wonder I think the song is beautiful, it wasn't written by you." ”
I threw my fist at the back of his head, and I wanted to punch him, this man and I just weren't in tune, and besides, my mouth was poisonous.
At this time, the fifth brother's cold warning came: "Don't think I don't know what you're doing, take your claws off." ”
I was taken aback and asked suspiciously: "How do you know, you know me so well Fifth Brother, I'm so moved!" ”
The fifth brother raised the reins, turned his head to look at me and smiled. Then he pointed to the reflection of the sun on the horse's back, and said, "You are probably thinking too much." ”
Me: "......"
After a while, he said, "The song is still very good, and you are not bad at singing." I was glad to see him when I heard him say, "Keep singing, and I tell you to stop, and you stop again." ”
I can't wait for my eyes to burn a hole in his back, how can this person be like this, does he think I'm a girl who sings a little song in the flower building, and sings all the way, I'm not a singing machine.
Even so, I sang this cheerful song a few times, and I could feel a little joy in it, especially as we drove the carriage all the way and made a fuss about the road ahead.
In the evening, when I arrived at a small village, I asked my fifth brother if he wanted to go to the village for the night.
In fact, I just asked him, if he said that he wanted to go to the village to spend the night, I must have refused, because I didn't sleep at all that night at Jinhua's house, and that kind of dilemma was very uncomfortable. Presumably the fifth brother thought the same thing, as soon as I brought it up, he rejected it loudly.
"We're going to light a fire outside the village, and you're sleeping in the wagon."
Thinking about it this way, I'm still a little excited, I've seen a lot of images on TV before, lighting a fire in the woods, then catching a pheasant or a hare or something to roast and eat, and sleeping around the fire against a stump.
But obviously this is not the case, in the middle of the night I hugged my clothes and trembled and reached out to bake the fire, I still felt a cold air rising from under my feet, on the other hand, the fifth brother held a branch and played with it, not disturbed by the cold air in the mountains at all.
I gritted my teeth, carried the stone under my buttocks and leaned towards the fire, looked at the fifth brother and asked, "Why don't you feel cold?" ”
The fifth brother glanced at me, picked up some branches from the side and threw them into the fire, and the fire suddenly grew bigger, so frightened that I leaned back.
Then he threw away the branch in his hand and slapped his palm, leaned against the big tree behind him, and replied, "I am a person who practices martial arts, although I am not proficient. However, there is also an internal force to protect the body, and a little cold naturally can't help me, but you, it's better to take off your shoes and bake your feet, after all, the cold starts from your feet. Seeing that you are frozen like this, don't go to sleep in the carriage...... There's a dirty garment in my baggage in the wagon, go and take it down and spread it by the fire, and I'll put another layer of hot ash on the bottom for you, I'm afraid it will be better." ”
Hearing him say so much, I was quite moved, so I went to the carriage with tears in my eyes, pulled out my baggage and took his robe, thought about it, and took another coat out. I went to the fire and handed him my coat, and the fifth brother only glanced at it, then got up and took a piece of wood and took out the hot ashes from under the fire, and waited until all the sparks were extinguished before putting on the dead leaves that he had picked up from the side.
When he had done all this, he took my robe, spread it out, and commanded, "Lie down." ”
I lay down in my clothes and felt uncomfortable but much warmer.
The fifth brother put the robe in his hand on me again, and I quickly took it off and said, "This is what I brought to you." ”
He glared at me, and I hurriedly lay down again, and said hurriedly: "This is what I brought to you, although you are not cold, but it will be foggy tomorrow morning." ”
The fifth brother pulled out two large stones from the fire and put them under my feet, and suddenly I shrank my feet in a hot breath, wondering if this would burn my shoes.
He stood up and looked at it, nodded with some satisfaction, and then turned around in a dashing manner, returned to his stump, and said, "Sleep." (To be continued......)
