Chapter 19: Fabricating Life Stories
The journey is undoubtedly boring and boring.
Passing the time on the road is nothing more than drinking, chatting, sword dancing and the like.
There's nothing new and interesting to play these days.
Before you know it, early autumn has turned into late autumn.
In the middle of summer, the green forest disappeared unconsciously, and the forest was dyed yellow through half of the sky, and the fallen leaves of the trees all over the mountains trampled on it.
They don't have many opportunities to climb the mountains, and the number of times they walk in the mountains and forests is also less, and sometimes they come across a clear stream, so they take water to cook, make tea, and warm wine, which is the most leisurely, with the unique atmosphere of autumn.
When Ju Lingxue first saw it, she was amazed by his beauty in her prosperity and decline, and it was common for her to see more later.
The bare branches are already a sign that winter is approaching, and the gray sparrows are scurrying around, and the rest of the unknown chickadees are flying away.
Autumn is high and cool, and watching the clouds is the most comfortable.
At this time, Ju Lingxue felt relieved, and asked Boss Bai about their itinerary every day, and now, unconsciously, the journey was already halfway there.
Soon they will be able to reach their destination.
After getting acquainted with the people in the caravan, those hairy young men also respected Ju Lingxue a little more.
Maybe it's because I pity him for being lonely, or maybe it's because I feel nostalgic for the old people who need to be taken care of at home.
All in all, Ju Lingxue's situation is much better. At least someone started to stop him while he was drinking.
She was not qualified to ride in a carriage, but she could lie down.
Ju Lingxue's favorite thing is to lie at the end of a cart with three large wooden boxes, although the mule has a temper, but it seems that it is not as big as a horse.
It is very docile, and it is safe to pull the cart.
Lying on the cart, looking at the light blue sky, as clean as washing, with the white clouds, changing into a variety of shapes, against the pastel sunrise or the fiery sunset, is particularly beautiful.
Sometimes, Ju Lingxue simply hugged a quilt and curled herself up on the cart, not moving.
The people of the caravan paid no attention to her, but let her go.
After all, Ju Lingxue now looks like a frail and sickly bad old man, very fragile.
She likes the dawn the most, the coldest, but it also seems to be the most vibrant, soothing Ju Lingxue's already broken heart.
"Drink horses!"
Ju Lingxue, who was looking at the sky in a daze, heard a call from the side, and couldn't help but turn her head to look.
It turned out that they were passing through a watered hole.
Not far away is a dense forest, and there are a few maple trees, which are set off next to it, and the maple leaves are like fire, red and charming.
Under the tree there were three deer, one of which stood at a distance, looking in other directions. The other deer was drinking with its head down, and another was watching them in their direction.
It must have rained, otherwise how could there be puddles on the ground?
It's noon, and it's almost time to get some rest.
The three deer saw the crowd, slowly approached them, and subconsciously kicked their hooves and walked into the distance.
The caravan succeeded and overtook the place where the deer had stayed.
Ju Lingxue looked very interesting, and after being in a daze for a while, she was accidentally rubbed on the shoulder by someone passing by, and almost didn't fall down.
"Hey! What's going on? Look at the eyes of the sky?! Boss Bai's slightly rough voice remembered in Ju Lingxue's ears.
Ju Lingxue's figure was shocked, and then she turned to Boss Bai and showed a flattering smile.
"Old man Li, eat cakes again at noon?"
"Hey." Ju Lingxue changed her name again and called Old Man Li to outsiders.
seemed to feel a little embarrassed to take too much money from Ju Lingxue, and he looked at Ju Lingxue all the way, eating cakes and drinking white water. Never ask for anything, honestly.
From time to time, he also showed some stunned appearance, and it seemed that he was yearning for something.
Boss Bai simply thought that Ju Lingxue was really homesick!
I can't help but admire the courage of this old man, after all, he is so old, and he will scatter the old bones, and he still wants to go back to his hometown, even if he scatters all his family wealth.
Tsk, where do ordinary people have this guts? Aren't you afraid of being robbed and killed?
Or did you hear about your righteous name, so you can follow yourself with confidence? Boss Bai couldn't help but think happily in his heart.
"I have braised beef here, do you want to eat it? Do you grit your teeth?? Boss Bai was excited for a while, and couldn't help but say generously.
But after saying that, he regretted it, after all, the amount of braised beef is not much, and there is only a little left after eating it now.
Ju Lingxue saw his thoughts, and smiled at him: "Thank you Boss Bai for your kindness, it's not okay, I can't bite my teeth." Thank you very much. ”
Boss Bai's face was obviously relieved, his beard was a lot, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't help but want to pat Ling Xue's shoulder, but he was afraid that he would be scattered, and it was not embarrassing to put his hand in the air.
"Boss Bai, you have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and you must have seen a lot of things." Ju Lingxue saw that Boss Bai was in a good mood today, and couldn't help but chat a few more words.
In fact, she wanted to inquire about Chen Guo.
But usually, as long as he mentioned the road and Chen Guo, Boss Bai would interrupt him or expel her with extreme impatience, or just perfunctory her.
After a long time, after getting along, Ju Lingxue found that Boss Bai was a person with soft ears and couldn't listen to compliments.
Although the sycophants are not very good at shooting, they sound quite sincere.
"Well, I followed my dad out when I was twelve years old. What kind of big scene I haven't seen? ”
As soon as Boss Bai heard Ju Lingxue praise him, he suddenly became interested in talking nonsense.
Beckoned the brother next to him to bring a small Mazha, and then sat down, as if he wanted to live with Ling Xue and said well.
"Ermao, also get a seat for Old Man Li."
"Hey! Gotcha! Ermao is Boss Bai's closest entourage, and after hearing the greeting, he immediately brought a small Maza, but it was slightly smaller than Boss Bai.
Ju Lingxue was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't show much on her face, she was still respectful, said that she was not welcome, and then sat down.
"I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, and I am inevitably a little timid, I don't know what happened to my hometown?" Ju Lingxue carefully considered the words, she didn't want Boss Bai to find out that he was actually trying to inquire.
"How did you get to Wei?" Boss Bai did not rush to answer Ju Lingxue's words, but took the lead in asking about her life experience.
