Chapter 148: Preparations

Since Master Feng gave the order to change the rules of the Tianji Camp, many things have been left to them.

The time they come out and the time they go back are fixed, and it is not that they come when they want to, and they can return immediately if they want to. Because the task was completed smoothly and beautifully, they had extra time to disguise themselves and wander around Dunhuang City.

But for the sake of safety, it is still necessary to go back earlier.

Yan Huai's words, Ji Jun agreed.

"Well, lest they find out." Ji Jun nodded, prepared to find a place to change back into his original clothes, and set off back to the underground palace.

Yan Huai also followed him and walked outside the market. But as he walked, his gaze still pretended to fall inadvertently on the girl on the other side.

Her attention fell on the red at hand.

It was a bracelet, carved from some material, like jade but not like it.

Yan Huai walked past her.

A caravan suddenly entered the bazaar, and the crowd suddenly crowded and rubbed shoulders with each other. Before he could avoid it, he had already passed her. Fortunately, it was only for a moment, and she was protected by the black-haired boy standing beside her.

Yan Huai retracted his gaze and walked out of the bazaar with an expressionless face.

"Aman, it's time to go back."

The voice of the black-haired boy made his steps slightly condensed.

It's the name again!

He had a good memory, and after listening to it a few times, he had long remembered where his inexplicable familiarity with the name came from. The eighth lady of the Xie family, whom he had only seen once, seemed to have a milk name.

The people he saw when he was a child, he should have forgotten it a long time ago. But he remembered this man.

——Father intends to set up a relationship between Yan Lin and Miss Xie Ba.

When the nurse told him about this, she was smiling.

Because Miss Xie Ba's father is just a small Hanlin Academy.

And his fiancée is Miss Yan of the British Mansion.

Hatchback comparison. In the eyes of the nurse, he has won completely.

But at that time, he couldn't understand the implicit meaning of these words. He knew that his family affair with the British government was decided when his biological mother Da Wan was still alive. But this family business is nothing to him at all. He had never even seen what the young lady of the British Gong Wen family looked like.

Yan Huai's face was slightly cold.

If he returns to Kyoto, will he marry the Wen family's daughter?

If she is born extremely ugly, will she also be disobedient?

The young man who has not yet tied his hair, but what he is worried about at this moment is only his fiancée. Is it ugly to be born......

He shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and quickly followed Ji Jun.

Behind him, the bazaar, which had been left far behind, was still lively.

Xie Shuning, who was leaning over to pick up the bracelet. Didn't notice anything.

She held the bracelet in front of her eyes and raised her hand high. Under daylight. The bracelet was as red as blood, with a strange fresh, moist hue.

It's the first time she's seen such a red.

In the middle of winter last year, when she was carried back to the house by the swordsmen raised by the Song family, the clothes on her body were also swamped with blood, and she was dazzlingly red. But she could still smile at that meeting. Consciousness is actually confused. How much blood she had shed, and how much pain she had had, she was completely free from it, and she didn't know what it was.

However, when the eye touches this bracelet. She couldn't help but feel the tip of her heart tremble slightly, as if she saw the blood stains on her clothes.

After raising her for more than half a year, she was finally allowed to go out and walk around a little.

Before the sun sets, you must go home, and you must not linger for a moment.

At this hour, she and Shu Yan should have left the bazaar.

But at the moment when she was about to turn away, she found the red bracelet.

The stall was set up by an old woman, her face was wrinkled like the sun-torn earth, and the hair on her head was all snow-white. Just looking at it like this, her old appearance must be at least sixty or seventy years old. But when she raised her eyes and looked over, Xie Shuning couldn't help but be stunned.

The old woman's eye sockets are deep-set, looking faint and vicissitudes.

Xie Shuning never expected that she would see a pair of eyes as clear as a baby on such a face.

The dark blue eyes are like years of luxurious jade, firmly embedded in the old woman's face.

Xie Shuning held the bracelet and was stunned.

Shu Yan waited a little anxiously on the side, so he urged, "Do you like this bracelet?" If you like it, you can buy it. ”

If you delay the time to go back, you will inevitably not be able to go out for a long time. It's nothing, he's already out of habit when he's grounded. What he feared was that if he was not careful, something like the last time would happen again.

Xie Shuning was calmer than him.

The last time there was an accident, it was an annual celebration in Dunhuang City. The countries of the Western Regions, passing by business travelers, all know the special and lively nature of this day.

The celebration began with a crowd of people, and it was the perfect time to do it, and it was also the day that the group of Assassins had carefully selected.

Therefore, on an ordinary day like today, no one will mess around in the market, let alone a blue sky and a white day.

She turned her head and comforted Shu Yan in Hu language, and promised to leave immediately, then she slowly squatted down and said to the old woman who was sitting cross-legged on the colorful blanket: "What material is this bracelet made of?" ”

Since she began to study Hu with her heart, she only used Hu when she talked to Shaman and Shu Yan on weekdays.

Due to the environment, she was studious and talented, and it didn't take long for her to be able to speak fluently.

Of course, the old woman would not fail to understand her.

But the gray-haired old man didn't answer her question directly, but stared at her outstretched palm.

On the white palm lies a bracelet with complex patterns and bright red colors.

Xie Shuning thought she was looking at the bracelet, so she went back first and put it together with the messy things on the blanket.

However, the old woman's gaze did not change with the change of the position of the bracelet, and she still stared firmly at Xie Shuning's hand.

Xie Shuning was a little furious when she saw it, and she couldn't help frowning her thin eyebrows.

"Mother-in-law, what material is this bracelet made of?" Seeing this on the side, Shu Yan became a little impatient, and leaned over to ask the old woman.

The old woman didn't blink, and didn't look at him. I didn't hear it.

Xie Shuning turned her palm over, turned it back again, looked at the intricate palm prints on it, and asked tentatively, "Mother-in-law is looking at the lines on my palm?" ”

Under the skylight, her palm prints were intertwined, and she couldn't figure out her head.

The old woman finally opened her mouth with all her teeth, shook, and said something that sounded extremely complicated to Xie Shuning.

Xie Shuning: "......"

She was stunned, and immediately turned her head to look at Shu Yan, "Cousin." What did she just say? ”

She said......" Shu Yan recalled the words from the old woman below, he could understand it, but he didn't know how to relay it to Xie Shuning in West Vietnamese for a while. The old woman's sentence is like a Buddha's verse, obscure and complicated. Halfway through. He hesitated, "She said your luck was good." ”

Xie Shuning heard this. I couldn't help but look at him suspiciously. "That's all?"

"It's a bit complicated, I can't explain it, but that's the idea." Shu Yan shook his head and turned his face away with a little embarrassment, "Although I don't know how to explain it, this is definitely a good word." ”

Xie Shuning narrowed her eyes. The pale red lips were pursed into a line, slightly curved, but there was a rather unbelieving look in his eyes.

Shu Yan felt weak in his heart and didn't dare to look at her. simply squatted down like her, and asked the old woman who set up the stall again: "Mother-in-law, what is this bracelet made of?" Is it jade? As he spoke, he picked up the bracelet again.

"It's stones, stones gathered from the Sea of Death." The old woman finally answered the question.

Shu Yan's hand playing with the bracelet froze, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be frozen, and he stumbled and asked, "Sea of Death?" ”

Xie Shuning listened on the sidelines, quickly searching for words and images about the "Sea of Death" in his mind.

"Peacock Sea ......" After a while, she muttered these words.

The only place that the people of this desert can call the "Sea of Death" is the Peacock Sea of the past.

The sea in the desert was originally a beautiful lake, and the water was crystal clear. It is an indispensable wonderful place on this journey full of yellow sand. However, a few decades ago, the lake began to become desertified. It didn't take long for the vast peacock sea to turn into a dry salt pool.

Since then, not an inch of grass has grown, and even birds dare not easily pass through, and the Peacock Sea has become a "sea of death".

It is said that the sand there is poisonous.

Xie Shuning's hand also froze.

The old woman giggled at this time, like the laughter of a young and happy girl, but her voice was tight, and she said, "The beautiful red stone can only be ground into powder and dissolved in water to exude a terrible poison." Make a bracelet, only beautiful! ”

"Aman, let's buy a different bracelet!" Shu Yan couldn't wait for her to finish speaking, so he dropped the bracelet and wanted to drag Xie Shuning away.

Xie Shuning was really interested, picked up the bracelet again, put it on his wrist, turned his head to Shu Yan and said, "Brother Shu Yan, you're breaking the bank!" ”

Shu Yan was dumbfounded.

It's poisonous!

"Isn't it pretty?" Xie Shuning raised her hand, and the bracelet with bright colors and delicate patterns swayed around on her thin wrist like this, which was extremely beautiful.

Shu Yan sighed helplessly and went to pay.

In another month, Xie Shuning will leave for Beijing.

Song was worried about her physical condition, so the journey would only slow down. Therefore, it is impossible to reach the capital before the year, but even if the train travels slowly, it will be there next spring. Xie Yuanmao will be annoyed when she arrives, she is not afraid, no matter how important she is, she is not as important as her daughter.

I only pity Xie Yi, who has been going back and forth, and has not been able to see his mother and sister for such a long time.

Thinking of his son, Song's heart couldn't help but be a little more urgent when he wanted to go back.

After careful discussion, everyone finally decided to leave in the middle of next month.

This time, I don't know if I can see you again in the Year of the Monkey.

It is precisely because of this that Shaman and the Song family agreed to let Xie Shuning and Shu Yan go out for a walk, buy some favorite gadgets, and take them back to Kyoto.

This bracelet was caught by Xie Shuning at a glance.

Its price was not even as good as the silk thread used in the lotus flower embroidered on Xie Shuning's skirt, but it was worn by her on her wrist, like wearing an expensive jade bracelet worth a thousand gold.

After buying the bracelet, the two went home.

Xie Shuning was dragged by the Song family to discuss what he needed on the way back.

Shu Yan went to find Shaman with a concern, told him about the bracelet, and repeated what the old woman said to Xie Shuning when she bought the bracelet at the market earlier.

Sharman asked him, "Then how did you explain it to Aman?" ”

"Aren't you complimenting her on her luck?" Shu Yan's heart became more and more unconfident, and his voice became softer and softer.

Shaman flicked his fingers on his forehead, and said angrily: "On weekdays, you don't want to read more books, but now it's good, I can't even understand what others are saying!" ”

"Ouch!" Shu Yan hurriedly dodged, rubbed his forehead vigorously, and said suspiciously, "Then what do you mean by this?" ”

Shaman glanced at him, turned his head and walked out, facing the cold wind from the south of the northern plateau, coughed twice, and replied: "The soul mate has been born. ”

In October, when the wind and sand are howling, the branches and leaves of the poplar trees rustle in the wind.

As soon as Sharman spoke, he was blown away by the wind.

Shu Yan only heard a few sporadic words, and when she saw that she was leaving, she hurriedly chased after her, "Mother, don't be in a hurry to leave, say it again!" ”

"When Aman went back, it was already very cold, and he still had a snow bear skin to ......keep warm," Shaman walked away without stopping, muttering to himself. (To be continued......)
