Chapter 46: Better than anyone else
All the worries disappeared the moment Yang Xianrong saw Liu Yao, because he said that he had brought her a gift. Liu Yao's gift was mysterious, as soon as he returned to the capital, he pulled Yang Xianrong out of his home, and took her all the way out of the city, when passing through the grove, Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong got off their horses and walked to the depths of the grove. After walking for a while, Yang Xianrong saw a snow-white little fox being locked in a small cage under a tree.
"Where did it come from?" Yang Xianrong asked in surprise, she had never seen a fox, let alone such a beautiful fox, the snow-white fur was not mixed with a trace of variegation, and the two obsidian eyes looked at the visitor vigilantly.
"Caught in the wild." Liu Yao opened the cage and took the little fox out: "I have been in the army for a few days, and I brought it to you today." ”
Yang Xianrong carefully touched the little fox, she likes this little guy very much, but I am afraid that it will not be possible to bring her home, but my father will not even let her raise a puppy and rabbit, if she takes back a fox, the family is afraid that it will turn the sky upside down. Thinking of this, Yang Xianrong shook her head reluctantly, saying that she had no way to raise it.
Liu Yao smiled bitterly and said: "I just brought it for you to see, who said that you should raise it, besides, is the fox something that can be kept at home?" ”
"Huh?" Yang Xianrong asked strangely, "What should I do then?" ”
"This fox is still small, when I caught it, there were no other foxes around, I guess it was either lost or the big fox was killed, I raised it in the barracks, and when it was older, let it go." Liu Yao touched the fox: "This thing is a spirit beast, it is best to let it return to the countryside." ”
"Then you, just bring it to me?" Yang Xianrong asked suspiciously.
"That's right," Liu Yao looked at Yang Xianrong, as if he didn't understand what was so strange about this, so he said: "It's hard to see such a good-looking fox, so naturally I want you to see it, and I want you to see all the good things I see." ”
Yang Xianrong laughed, and was a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and stroked the little fox intently.
Liu Yao still looked at Yang Xianrong and said, "I have been back in the army for half a month, do you miss me?" ”
Yang Xianrong shook her head without raising her head, and after a while, she raised her head again, and met Liu Yao's gaze, she quickly avoided it, pretending to look around casually, but finally said honestly: "There is a little." ”
"Not at all." Liu Yao was very satisfied and said: "I think about you every night when I practice, and if it's a full moon night, I miss you even more." ”
"Why?"
"Because your face is round like the moon." Liu Yao said with a smile.
Yang Xianrong touched his face, obviously with a pointed chin, where is it round?
Liu Yao put the fox back in the cage, picked up the cage with one hand, and quietly took the hand of the sheep with the other hand and walked out. Liu Yao took Yang Xianrong to the place where the two rested last time, found a clean and flat place to sit down, and he took out a roast chicken from a blanket on horseback like a trick, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Yang Xianrong.
"Why do you have everything?" Yang Xianrong was very surprised, and she was full of admiration for Liu Yao, after all, it was already noon, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Liu Yao winked at her right eye, and also tore off a chicken leg, first ripped off some meat and fed it to the little fox, and then put the rest in his mouth and gnawed it. The two of them were really hungry, and after a while, they ate a chicken clean, and Liu Yao took out a pot of water like a trick, unscrewed the lid and handed it to the sheep.
Yang Xianrong hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and shook it in front of Liu Yao's eyes: "Admire." Then he took the water and drank it.
"You're welcome." Liu Yao replied. When Yang Xianrong had drunk enough water, he took the kettle and poured the rest of the water into his stomach. "Next time," Liu Yao wiped his mouth and said, "I'll go down to the river to catch fish for you to eat." ”
"Next time?" Yang Xianrong tilted his head: "Still here?" I'm tired of it. Yang Xianrong is indeed a little tired of here, since the first time she came here with Liu Yao, she showed that she liked here, every time the two of them came out to play, they would come here, enjoy the flowers, play with the water, although the number of times is not much, but Yang Xianrong also wants to see the scenery elsewhere.
Liu Yao touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, he was in the army all day long, he didn't know what was around Luoyang City, if the scenery was beautiful, it was already very good here, what about the rest of the places?
"It's not where to go and what to do," Liu Yao sloppy eyes: "It's with whom, understand?" ”
"Understood," Yang Xianrong nodded, with a look of understanding: "Then I'll be with Sister Ling'er next time." ”
"How can Ling'er have time?" Liu Yao replied: "When she is old enough to leave the cabinet, the family will choose a husband for her." ”
Liu Ling is only two months younger than Liu Yao, fifteen years old, he doesn't want to think about getting married at all, Liu Yuan is not in a hurry, this is his favorite little daughter, and he wants to stay by his side for a few more years, who to marry? Besides, he was originally a Huns, and he also wanted to pick a son-in-law to pick a strong man, he didn't look down on the son-in-law in the capital, and he didn't want to pick someone in the army to let his daughter suffer from the separation of the two places, so he simply wanted to delay, and he couldn't drag it out later.
But the two aunts in the family don't think so, the two aunts are both Han Chinese, and they feel that fifteen or sixteen years old is the best age for the in-laws' family, and they can't get married when they are older, and they are not a good family if they get married. They also like those clean white-faced scholars, and they don't like those rough men who come and go in the wind. The two aunts were in charge of the family, so they asked the matchmaker about the situation of the sons and daughters in the capital, and they were afraid that Liu Ling, who they liked, would not like it, so they simply detained her and let her choose by herself.
"Sister Ling'er doesn't look down on those," Yang Xianrong pouted: "She likes the prince." ”
"That's not going to work." Liu Yao retorted: "You said that the prince himself is difficult to protect. Liu Yao sighed: "My sister doesn't know what evil she has fallen into?" That time there was a rumor in the palace that she wanted to choose a concubine for the crown prince, and she wanted to go, and she wanted her father to make decisions for her, and her father wrote twelve letters to the family for this matter, and the wording was extremely harsh, which dispelled her thoughts. ”
Yang Xianrong was taken aback: "I don't know." ”
"She's so good-looking." Liu Yao sighed heavily, and asked with an unhappy face: "Do you girls like people like the prince?" White and pure, well-behaved, and the jade tree is in the wind. Liu Yao said that he learned from those boys, held his head high, and walked a few steps forward as if no one could see it: "That's it?" ”
"There is a man named Pan An in Luoyang City, do you know?" Yang Xianrong asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Liu Yao was even more unhappy: "It is said that the women in the whole city are crazy about it." Liu Yao snorted indignantly: "I can't understand, am I not good like this?" Those brothers in our army are all very powerful. ”
Liu Yao talked about his brothers in the army, and instantly came to the spirit, one after another to tell Yang Xianrong about their skills, and said the interesting things and strange things that happened in the general, making Yang Xianrong laugh sometimes and sometimes go into his arms in fear, and after learning that Liu Yao was just teasing her, he would make a fuss, and slammed his small fist at Liu Yao mercilessly.
The two snuggled up to each other and faced the water, the sound of the water was murmuring, it was good, Yang Xianrong listened to it and was sleepy, she leaned on Liu Yao's body, and dreamed in a daze, in the dream, Liu Ling married Sima Shu as he wished, she and Liu Yao laughed happily on the side, suddenly, the little white fox walked in with a gift box covered with a red cloth, Sima Shu went to lift the red cloth, and suddenly a long black snake suddenly came out of it, spitting a scarlet letter and running towards Sima Shu, and then, Sima Shu was entangled in the snake in Liu Ling's cry.
Yang Xianrong woke up in shock, and the scene in the dream made her jump as if the black snake was right behind her.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yao pulled the sheep to offer her face, saw that she was covered with sweat, and her eyes were full of fear, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat before asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Yang Xianrong shook his head: "Nightmare, I dreamed of a big black snake. Yang Xianrong turned around and saw the white fox sleeping in the cage, and pointed angrily: "And it, it's a bad fox." ”
Liu Yao laughed: "I haven't had time to sleep with a stick of incense, why did I dream of so many things?" As he spoke, he took out a flute from the blanket and blew it gently, and the melodious sound of the flute slowly calmed the sheep's restless heart.
She looked at Liu Yao, how many things did she not know about this person, speaking of which, she had known him for eight years, but often, she could still be surprised by him. That time, she learned an article from her master and proudly showed it off to him, but he memorized it word for word. Another time, he actually cooked himself and made three dishes for her and Liu Ling to eat, and it tasted good. He can bend his bow and shoot arrows, and he can shoot arrows from a hundred paces away. She would also carve some gadgets as gifts for the sheep, and sometimes those things had a mechanism that she had to ponder for a long time before she could open them. This Liu Yao is really a very powerful person.
Yang Xianrong could see that Liu Yao had finished all the songs, but she still hadn't come back to her senses.
"Got hooked?" Liu Yao quipped.
"Brother Yao, I think you're too powerful." Yang Xianrong's words were absolutely heartfelt, and she said very sincerely: "You can do anything, I admire you." Do you have something that won't? ”
"Yes," Liu Yao was happy to be praised like this, and he smiled and pinched Yang Xianrong's face: "Go, it's worse than Ling'er." ”
"I think you are much more powerful than those noble brothers," Yang Xianrong said: "And that Pan An, it's not as good as you at all." ”
"Really?" Liu Yao had already been praised so much that his face flushed: "Tell me." ”
"Of course!"
