Chapter XXXVIII
When Yun Zheng and Ge Qiuyan were in love, a monk wearing a hat was walking on the deserted Gobi with difficulty, the north wind whimpered, he trekked hard against the wind, occasionally spit out a mouthful of sand and dust poured into his mouth, looked at the seemingly endless wasteland in front of him, lowered his head and continued to move forward.
The stick in his hand has been oily and slippery in his hand, this is his self-defense weapon, but also his crutch, walked to a high slope, looked around the four fields, the sky is blue, there are no cattle and sheep, only dead silence.
Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to find a place to stay, and it seemed that he could not find a place to stay tonight, so he found a loess cliff and took out a foldable shovel from his back, which was a gift from a friend, and with this thing, he didn't have to carry a heavy shovel around all day.
It didn't take much effort, he dug a cave that was enough to accommodate himself, the soil on the loess plateau was fine, the viscosity was very good, and countless people lived in such a clay cave, known as the saying that it was warm in winter and cool in summer. This set of methods for survival in the northwest was also told by a friend, that the five aggregates of the monks are empty, but with such a friend, the monk never thought that it would cause any hindrance to his practice.
If it weren't for the returning caravan, I didn't know that this guy had inadvertently done such a blood-boiling thing, and he was angry and beheaded the beard, tearing the silk into pieces and selling it for a good price, I'm afraid only he can do it, right?
Light a fire at the entrance of the cave, take out a few dry cakes and bake them on the fire, there is still a little wine in the gourd behind it, smack it carefully, and immediately warm the whole body, but it is a pity that such a good wine will not be drunk in Western Xia.
Looking at the flickering flames and listening to the terrible wolf howl, Wugou pulled his robe up, and after the sun went down, the world became even colder. Although there was still a fire in front of him, he still didn't feel much warmth.
Yun Zheng sent the caravan back, and he took two hundred heroes to the Longtan Tiger's Den, Wugou didn't know what Yun Zheng would encounter. What will I do, I always feel that this thing is extremely dangerous.
I don't know if there is any trouble with the Bliss Pill he has taken, is it really a little bit of a problem as he said, Gao Tansheng is scaring him, Wugou always feels that it is inappropriate, a demon like Gao Tansheng will not do meaningless things, and it is impossible for the Maitreya Sect of Nuoda to be maintained by lies alone.
There are also some dried mutton, Wugou cut off a few slices from the top, and chew slowly in the mouth, the mutton is very salty. Reluctant to drink again, he took the water hyacinth and looked up to drink, only to find that the water in it was frozen, sighed, and wrapped an old leather jacket around his body. After reciting the scriptures, thanking Zhou Tian Bodhisattva, adding a lot of firewood to the pyre, and then curled up in the sheepskin jacket and fell asleep slowly......
Ge Qiuyan has been very happy these days, and Yun Zheng is a very interesting person. can always make a boring thing very fun, just like now, a simple play of hide-and-seek, let yourself and Princess Kui Ming have fun, the blindfolded Princess Kui Ming's laughter is as good as a bell, and her two hands stretch forward and scratch clumsily. Yun Zheng, who was reading a book in his hand, hid behind a wooden pillar and read some incomprehensible articles aloud, but he seemed to be very obsessed and shook his head.
Princess Kui Ming followed the sound to catch Yun Zheng, but touched the pillar. Yun Zheng leaned to the side and continued to read his book, Ge Qiuyan found that Kui Ming was peeking and didn't remind him, but Yun Zheng was hugged tightly by Kui Ming, blushing and raising his hands high, Kui Ming jumped and jumped with shouting. The maid next to her also laughed.
Western Xia is not as particular as the Great Song Dynasty, and the admiration of men and women can be a good thing, but these are invalid for the royal family, Kui Ming is happy for a while and asks Yun Zheng to make good food, this is the bet.
Yun Zheng always thought that Brother Ning Lingge would come over to find trouble in the past few days, but he didn't wait for his people, according to Kui Ming, Brother Ning Lingge was seriously injured, and he could only lie on the bed until now, there were few living people under the whip of the wolf, and this time the whipping of Brother Ning Lingge was already merciful, I heard that the wolf could break the waist of a big green wolf with a whip, and he was the most famous leader of the wolf guard in Western Xia, his face was heard to be cut head-on by someone else's knife, his person was alive, but the knife of the other person was broken.
Glutinous rice dumplings are liked to be eaten by women, Yun Zheng's glutinous rice dumplings are the size of a fist, anxious diners can't wait for the glutinous rice dumplings to cool, so they inhale the cool air and start chewing, Kui Ming is very envious of Yun Zheng's endless delicacies, and hopes to grow a pair of Yun Zheng's hands, she has studied those hands, clean, slender, fair, soft, warm, better than the hands of one of her daughters, the fingers are slender, and they are not even as thick as their own.
"Kui Ming is also good, he can spin wool, roll felt, make boots, cook leather, these jobs require strength to do it, if you grow a pair of hands like me, how can you do these jobs."
Do you know, your most likable point is here, in that palace, maybe you are the only noble girl who knows how to work, as long as you can work, you will not starve to death, those who can work are the most beautiful, those who can't work are just a pile of stinky meat waiting to rot. ”
Ge Qiuyan's eyes stared at Yun Zheng without blinking, although the big man wearing an apron was a little funny, but he still looked so magnificent, picking up a knife was like a general, and the dense sound of chopping vegetables was like a general's war drum......
I couldn't tell Yun Zheng these words, I said it last time, and I was almost laughed to death by him, saying that this is simply an illusion, an illusion unique to women, and women at this time have no reason at all, how to deceive and how to believe, because she added all the best fantasies in her heart to the object of fantasy.
Kui Ming is just a fifteen-year-old girl, it is normal to have a little fantasy, Ge Qiuyan is a twenty-year-old woman, this age is absolutely reasonable in the Great Song Dynasty, the average twenty-year-old woman is already the mother of two or three children, that is, she is beautiful, which makes people ignore her age, but this is also relative, the skin of the Xixia people is rough, which is sharpened by the wind and sand, whether it is a man or a woman, the appearance is older than the actual age, Ge Qiuyan and Kui Ming stand together, and they can't tell who is big and who is small.
Seeing that Ge Qiuyan was stupid again, Yun Zheng smiled bitterly, how could an old Jianghu make such a mistake, the only possibility was caused by fear. Leaving the Central Plains that she was familiar with, and coming to a completely unfamiliar world, when force was not enough, as a woman, she strongly hoped to find someone she could rely on, Yun Zheng was even sure that once she returned to the Central Plains, this sturdy woman would immediately recover her true nature, and even felt that it was a shameful act for her to be weak in the Western Xia.
Coming to a foreign country, others not only have such a thing as not adapting to the water and soil, but also have an inexplicable sense of fear, Yun Zheng does not have this feeling, in his subconscious, he is still on the land of China, Ningxia himself does not know how many times he has been there, this land is too familiar to him, the only thing that has changed is the people here, the Helan Mountain in the distance, the desert in the distance, the Yellow River swamp in the distance, only the size of him is changed, the change of verdant or not, the cold wind blowing here makes him feel at home.
Now I understand why I have to take the risk to come to Xixia when I am full, it turns out that deep in my heart, I still want to find the shadow of the past, I want to see the familiar scene, and I dream of going back one day.
The camp of the commander of the Ma Bujun is at the foot of Helan Mountain, which is now covered with black pine forests, and I heard that there are still fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards. Today is the fifteenth day, there is not a single cloud in the sky, a huge bonfire is lit in the camp, the sergeants of the Jiazi battalion and the wounded soldiers who have not returned home are all around the bonfire and make loud noises, whenever the moon is full, the Tangut people will gather around the bonfire to sing and dance, drink, wrestle, this is their custom for a long time.
"The fifteenth moon rose into the sky, why are there no clouds next to it, I'm waiting for the beautiful girl, why haven't you come yet......"
This chorus is the most beautiful song, the songs of the Tangut people are passed down by word of mouth, I believe that this song will soon become one of the most beautiful ballads of the Tangut people, because this song is very beautiful to sing in the Tangut dialect......
Hearing this song, more and more Western Xia warriors poured over, so Yun Zheng taught Princess Kui Ming and Ge Qiuyan to sing this song over and over again, but one would sing it in the language of the Song people, and the other would sing it in the language of the Western Xia people, and the teaching military field soon became a sea of songs.
With a crossbow arrow in his mouth, Lang Lige lurked quietly in the grass, the strings of the Divine Arm Crossbow had been hung, and now he only had to wait for the terrifying man to pass by before he could attack.
Sun Qizhi lurked on the opposite side of Langlig, and the clothes that Yun Zheng made for them with fishing nets were full of dead branches and leaves, and the people were lying there like two chaotic piles of dead grass.
Heavy footsteps came, Kui Wolf walked firmly and vigorously with every step, every day at this time he would go home along this path when he was sure that the palace gate was closed, this was also Li Yuanhao's rule, foreign ministers were not allowed to stay in the palace overnight.
Kui Wolf never needed to be accompanied by a large group of people, only two brothers who crawled out of the pile of dead like himself were with him, which was more of a habit than protection.
The wolf did not like to speak, and his brother was accustomed to his silence and did not like to listen to him, because when he spoke, he hissed like a viper.
The moon is bright tonight, so there is no need to light a lantern, and Kui Wolf likes to listen to the sound of his big feet stepping on dead leaves, and every time he crushes a dead leaf, a terrifying smile appears on his face.
Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi knew who the wolf was, and they were ready to attack within the twenty paces that the Divine Arm Crossbow was most sure of, in this distance, no one could escape the attack of the Divine Arm Crossbow, and another reason was that it was too close to the Imperial Palace, and if the attack could not be successful, it would be difficult to escape.
The wolf was very happy, and stepped forward with a heavy foot to break a large dead leaf, and when he was about to raise his head to show off to his brother, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart, and his arms were staggered in front of his chest and abdomen, and he roared......
