When the translator who knew English came out to invite them, Xiao Yue looked a little nervous, she pushed Zuo Jun in front and followed behind him.

The left army was not impressed, and he took the lead in entering the chief's tent

When Zuo Jun and Xiao Yue went in to take a look, they noticed that the layout was like a large living room, not only did it seem extraordinarily spacious, but the layout was quite distinctive, although it was not magnificent, but it was full of personality, the ground was paved with carpet, and in the center was the chief's seat, like a hardwood chair, covered with an animal skin, the chief was not tall, about forty years old, he was dressed in local indigenous attire, but he looked different, with a slanted shoulder cloak on his body, a noble hat on his head, and his face also looked very elegant, This is in great contrast to Xiao Yue's imagination similar to 'Caesar'.

The chief did not wait for the leader of the caravan beside him or the young man who knew English to introduce him, but he approached him and held out his hand

Seeing that he was half a head shorter than himself, Zuo Jun hurriedly leaned down and also stretched out his hand to shake the chieftain politely.

The chief spoke in English with a spring breeze on his face: "Welcome to your guests from China, I have been in contact with students from your country when I was in London, but I did not expect that after almost twenty years, I will have the privilege of meeting guests from the East again!" ”

The chief did not speak the local indigenous language, but a fluent English, Zuo Jun was not good at English, and he didn't understand it very well, but Xiao Yue could hear it clearly, she was surprised in her heart, this chief not only spoke English fluently, but also stayed abroad.

She knew that Zuo Jun's English was not good, so she hurriedly translated it for Zuo Jun

Zuo Jun also heard that he was speaking English, and he was very happy in his heart, so that he could communicate directly with Xiao Yue, and he hurriedly said politely to the chief.

The chief then gave them up to the seat next to him, and returned to his seat himself, for ease of communication. Zuo Jun motioned for Xiao Yue to sit on a seat near a chieftain, and sat down under her, Xiao Yue saw that the chief was very peaceful, and there was no fear, so she talked to him in English

Zuo Jun and the blacks didn't interject, just listened to them talk and laugh, like acquaintances they hadn't seen for many years.

Of course, when asked about Zuo Jun, Xiao Yue also turned back to Zuo Jun and translated it in Chinese, and Zuo Jun also answered him with some words. Xiao Yue then translated it to the chief.

Xiao Yue chatted with the chief for more than an hour, and the chief seemed unsatisfied, but after the leader of the camel team leaned over and said a few words to the chief in the local language, the chief stood up and ended the conversation with Xiao Yue.

Zuo Jun walked in and saw that there was a double bed and a short-legged table that was lower than a coffee table. There were no stools or chairs, presumably sitting on the floor.

As soon as Xiao Yue entered the tent, it was like a scattered skeleton, and she came to the big bed. He fell on his back and stretched his long waist and said, "I can finally sleep in bed again." ”

Zuo Jun was a little surprised and said, "Do they arrange this place for us to rest?" You sleep here, so where do I sleep? ”

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Such a big bed can't sleep with the two of us!" ”

Zuo Jun said with a sad face: "But this is not very convenient, after all, we are different from men and women." You might as well ask the chief to arrange another place! ”

Xiao Yue was very unimpressed by Zuo Jun's proposal, and she said to Zuo Jun: "Do you know what I talked to about that chief? ”

"How do I know the way?"

"I told him that we are husband and wife! Will he arrange other places for you to stay? ”

Zuo Jun was surprised: "What are you talking nonsense to him?" Our relationship is innocent! ”

Xiao Yue sighed: "We are innocent or not. Do you still need him to care? I know that you only have that girl named Xuemei in your heart, but I need you to be by my side to protect me now, if I sleep alone in a place, can you rest assured? ”

"What's wrong with that? They all regard you as the heroine who saved them, and dare to bully you again? ”

"You know what? The chief looked at me with a lewd look, and I have to say that you are my husband! ”

"What's the matter with you? Obviously, I had a good conversation with the chief, and people didn't have any fights, why did you say bad things about people like this? ”

"Alas! Do you know what I talked to him about? ”

The left army shook his head blankly.

Xiao Yue then said: "This chief introduced himself and said that he went to England to study in his early years, knew Western culture very well, and also met Chinese there, his father was the chief here, and he had to give up his ideals and come back to inherit the position of chief."

When Zuo Jun heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "This is very good, he has been influenced by Western civilization and will not be very rude, but we shouldn't lie to others!" ”

Xiao Yue said angrily: "You stop first, can you listen to me?" ”

Zuo Jun smiled awkwardly and nodded silently.

Xiao Yue continued: "He praised me vigorously, not only for my bravery, for saving his people in danger, but also for being very beautiful, more beautiful than his more than 20 wives."

When Zuo Jun heard that the other party had more than 20 wives, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and he wanted to interject, but finally held back.

I heard Xiao Yue continue to speak: "He asked me again if I like it here?" I said it was ok! He asked me if I would like to be his wife. That's when I said I'm already your wife. But he asked me to ask for your opinion, and asked if you would like to give me to him? He has more than twenty wives to choose from."

As soon as Zuo Jun heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and he was so angry that he shouted loudly: "This guy is simply not human!" What did he take a woman for? Let's stop staying here, let's get out of here! ”

Seeing that Zuo Jun was angry, Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "As long as you are not this kind of person!" Actually, you can't blame him, their custom here is like this, not to mention that he is a chief, even if he is a nobleman with status, he can marry multiple wives, and the poor can only be single for a lifetime. Moreover, they can enjoy their wives as gifts for their friends. The chief was just following their customs. ”

"It's a shame that he has stayed in the ocean! So how do you answer? Zuo Jun asked again.

"Alas, he went to England, where sexual freedom is more important, and if men and women look at each other during the day, even if they have just met, they can go to bed at night. I just heard him say that you want to exchange me for his wife, and I was very shy in my heart, but I still had to entertain him on the surface, and introduced him to the civilization and values of our country, and said that China is not only monogamous, but also that both men and women will be loyal for love, and you will not give me to him. ”

Zuo Jun stopped talking, he now agrees with Xiao Yue's approach, for her sake, he will also be her husband for a while, and he must protect her from any bullying in this foreign country.

At this moment, the chief sent for them to bring them a bucket of hot water, and told them to bathe first, and then bring them food later.

Zuo Jun and Xiao Yue hadn't taken a bath for several days, and their bodies had changed smells, and Zuo Jun walked to the door of the tent at this time

"Zuo Jun, where are you going?" Xiao Yue shouted behind him.

Zuo Jun turned around and said, "You take a bath first!" I'll go out and guard you at the door, and when you're done, I'll wash it for me. ”

Looking at Zuo Jun's honest appearance, Xiao Yue couldn't help but be happy, but she appreciated Zuo Jun's work more and more.

When she took a shower, she didn't have any clothes to change, so she had to put on her original clothes again and go out to call Zuo Jun.

When the left army entered the house, he took off his clothes

"Zuo Jun, don't you need to change some water?" Xiao Yue followed up and asked.

Seeing that Xiao Yue was also following up, Zuo Jun just untied his trouser belt and hurriedly tied it again: "Why did you come in too?" I don't need water, you can go outside and help me watch for a while! ”

Xiao Yue chuckled: "I just took a bath, aren't you afraid that I'll be drenched in the wind outside?" Besides, if the person who comes in is also a man, why are you shy? ”

"But you're a girl! Don't forget, we're just a fake couple. ”

"Oh well! I'll go to bed and sleep with my head facing in, so you can wash it boldly! ”

After Xiao Yue listened to Zuo Jun's words, she pouted and climbed into bed.

The left army also quickly washed and then got dressed.

When they were about to go to bed, the chief sent for dinner, and by the time they had finished their supper, it was already late at night.

Xiao Yue saw that Zuo Jun refused to go to bed, so she said, "Aren't you sleepy?" Go to bed! ”

"Oh, I'll just make a bunk on the floor, and I'll leave the bed for you to sleep alone!"

When Xiao Yue heard this, she hurriedly said, "Do you just have cheap bones?" We couldn't help it in the desert at the beginning, but now we have such good accommodation, but you don't want to enjoy it? ”

"Xiao Xiao, you also know that we were forced to sleep together at the beginning, but now you don't need me to be a mat, can't you still sleep together?"

"Then we don't have to sleep in separate beds! Let's take the middle of this bed as the Chu River and Han realm, we sleep at both ends, and we don't invade each other, do you think it's okay? Xiao Yue said angrily. (To be continued......)
