Chapter 062: Lady Ghostface
She squinted her eyes when it was almost dawn, and when the dawn of the morning pierced the sky and the light leaked in, she got up again and continued to work.
She was in the kitchen with medicinal herbs, and with the mixture, she found that she was missing a big green leaf, because Sakura Fuki was taking care of the patients in the camp, and she could only go to find Du You.
The barracks were full of tents, and at this time the officers and men in the army were isolated, there were only a few people outside the tents, no one was hanging out, and everywhere she went, there were only sick soldiers walking a little slowly, and neatly arranged barracks.
She swept past a few military camps and saw Xiao Zhan lift the curtain and come out, and Xiao Zhan also saw her going out at this time.
"Where are you going?"
"When I was dispensing the medicine, I found that there was a missing medicine, so I wanted to go to Du You to help me find it."
As soon as he heard Hua Qing mention Du You, he didn't like it in his heart, and he didn't know why, he just didn't like Hua Qing to get too close to other men, whether it was his Seventh Emperor Uncle or his subordinate Du You. He was a little irritated and asked:
"What medicine?"
Hua Qing thought to herself, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even have to ask about such a small matter? It may be that there is no trivial matter in the army, so she replied:
"Big green leaves. It is the kind of herb that grows on the side of the road and has fat leaves, it is a good medicine for treating symptoms such as heat poison spots, sore throat, mouth and tongue sores, and can be used to prevent epidemics. ”
Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, a woman wearing a silver mask had already appeared behind Hua Qing, and the woman whispered:
"Oaoba ......"
Hua Qing heard someone talking behind her, she couldn't help but turn around, and suddenly found that there was a somewhat "weird" woman standing behind her, she couldn't help but be startled, the woman was wearing a silver mask, her hair was scorched, her body was black, and she was holding a feather fan, she didn't look like a person, a ghost. Seeing Hua Qing staring at herself, she asked in a dumb voice:
"What? Am I scary? ”
It would be false to say that it was not scary, but Hua Qing shook her head negatively out of kindness instinct. The woman looked at Hua Qing, and she also fell into deep thought, Hua Qing's face was too much like Zhen Zhen. But the line she buried in the Central Plains came back and told her that Zhen Zhen and her daughter had died a long time ago, and Hua Yi also married her stepfamily within a month of Zhen Zhen's departure. And the woman in front of her, who is she? Why do you have a Zhen Zhen's face?
"Da Qingye, Fusang's famous land bones, there are other mountains not far away, Zhan'er, you take her to find it!"
"Yes."
Xiao Zhan stepped forward and dragged Hua Qing away, and after Hua Qing saw the woman wearing the mask, she felt a sense of fear in her heart for some reason.
When the two of them walked away, Hua Qingfang dared to ask:
"Your Highness, who is that lady just now?"
Xiao Zhan and her rode two horses, because the sound of the horse's hooves was broken, Hua Qing didn't hear it again, so she shouted loudly:
"She's Lady Ghostface."
Hua Qing felt very sassy when she heard this name, and she didn't dare to ask again. When he got off the horse at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Zhan continued:
"She's my master and Cher's. Martial arts are world-renowned, and medical skills are mastered. ”
"But when I look at her face and hair, and the bulging hand with her lupine on it, I feel like she's been poisoned."
Hua Qing noticed that Xiao Zhan's face had become a little unnatural at this time, so she apologized:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I don't have a heart, I don't have a mouth. ”
Xiao Zhan squatted down to pick the leaves of the big green leaves for her, and she also knew that if she said too much, she would lose, so she lowered her head and continued to pick the big green leaves, not daring to say a word more.
There was a sound of "Suosuo" in the quiet mountains, and Hua Qing mistakenly thought it was the sound of the wind passing through the leaves, but when she moved her steps and looked at the roots under the big green leaves, a black thing curled up on the ground, the color was so dark that it was creepy, and it lay motionless there, as if taking a nap.
When she finally recognized the pipe-like body, which was inlaid with a dark ring, she was instantly frightened, her face was like ashes, she broke down and screamed and turned around and ran wildly, at this time the creeping snake was disturbed by her scream, so it straightened up, about half a foot high, when it heard the sound of Hua Qing running, it followed the sound source. At this point, it didn't know that it was about to doom.
A snow-colored edge shone out, and in a flash, the snake became two, twitching and twisting separately.
"It's okay."
Xiao Zhan wiped the sword stained with snake blood with a handkerchief and retracted it into its sheath, Hua Qing heard this, turned around, and saw the two snake bodies that were still twitching and writhing under Xiao Zhan's feet, and couldn't help but collapse to the ground in fright.
"So you're afraid of snakes?"
Her face was as white as frost, tears fell down like beads with broken threads, and her bitten lips were as rosy as everyday, without too much blood. Fine beads of cold sweat also oozed from his forehead.
Xiao Zhan lowered his head and picked up a wooden stick to lift the snake's body, and as soon as he turned around, Hua Qing saw the snake body with a severed head and two tails in Xiao Zhan's hand, and couldn't help but cover his ears and bury his head in fright. Xiao Zhan felt helpless, and said in his heart: "Is this a living and afraid of death?" ”
He took a few steps, threw it with all his might, and threw the broken snake into the distance. Turning to Hua Qing, he said:
"Alright, I've thrown it away, you don't have to be afraid."
She stood up trembling slightly, and as soon as she lifted her legs, she saw the snake's blood remaining on the ground, and her legs shook uncontrollably.
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, he took a few steps back to Hua Qing's side, bent down and picked her up. Xu was overly frightened, but now she is being held in her arms, safe and stable, but she has not struggled.
Xiao Zhan hugged her and continued to pick the big green leaves, and picked up the basket she had dropped before, until she finished picking, and then hugged her to the horse again.
He didn't let her ride alone, but followed her, turning over and jumping, he hesitated, wondering whether to hold her, reason told him that he couldn't, but his hands involuntarily wrapped around her waist from behind her, and the faint fragrance of her hair between his nose and nose made his heart tremble.
"Since you are afraid of snakes, there are traces of snakes everywhere at the foot of the mountain and by the river, and there are lush vegetation, so don't come out in the future. What medicine do you want next time, there is no medicine in the army, just tell Du You and let him tell the soldiers to pick it! ”
"I just didn't expect to be so unlucky."
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but raise her sleeves to wipe her tears, maybe she was fighting with the snake in her life! There are snakes in southern Xinjiang, snakes in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect there to be snakes in Fusang! What you are afraid of, what follows you like a shadow.
Xiao Zhan saw her shoulders trembling slightly, thinking that she might be crying again.
"I'll tell you a story!"
Hua Qing sniffed and said:
"You say."
Xiao Zhan recounted in her ear:
"Once upon a time there was a boy who had a mother who was not liked by his father, who died shortly after the birth of him. After his mother's death, the boy's father never came to see him again. His father had many women and children, and no matter how hard the boy tried, that father would not notice his presence. The boy entered the academy and, like his other siblings, began to read and write. ”
Remember the snow days. He took the scroll and recited the "Shangshu Shundian":
Shun let Yude, Fu heir. On the first day of the first month, he was finally Wenzu. In Xuanji Yuheng, Qi Qizheng. It is like God, it is in the six sects, it looks at the mountains and rivers, and it is all over the gods. Ji Wurui. The moon is the day, the four mountains are herded, and Ban Rui is behind the group.
"Years ..... In February, the east patrol, as for Daizong, firewood. ”
When the boy was thinking about what the next sentence would be, he saw his father, who was holding the prince up above his head, and he couldn't help but lie down behind the pillar and watch. The father with a round body and a big square head turned out to be not angry, and when he was not angry, he carried his eldest son, crawled around on the snow in the wind and snow, and used his eldest son as a horse for the eldest son to ride. The eldest son kept shouting: "Father, hurry up, hurry up." ”
Although he was stupid, he still tried his best to please his eldest son. After becoming a horse, he held his eldest son in his hand again and held him high. The boy couldn't help coughing because he was thinly dressed.
His father heard the cough and approached him, even though he had covered himself tightly, but his father found him.
"Father, who's there?"
The eldest son, who was standing in the snow, asked. When the young man saw his father's cold face, he was very frightened, and he muttered:
"I'm just passing through."
"What's in your hand?"
The boy's father stretched out his hand to ask for it, and the boy hurriedly hugged it in his arms, but the little boy's strength was naturally no match for the adult, so the book was taken away by his father.
"Since you are reading "Shangshu", then you can memorize the full text of "Shundian" to me."
The young man knelt on the ground and recited until the second month of the year, the east patrol, as for Daizong, firewood...... Look at the mountains and rivers, and go to the east. The same time, the first day of the month, the same law of weights and measures....... Repair...... Cultivate five rites, five jades, three silks, two lives, and one death. Forgetting the words, his father began to become irritable, and when the eldest son shouted "Father" again, his father finally became angry.
"I can't memorize a copy of "Shundian", you go, go to the courtyard and kneel, and recite the silent writing for me on the snow. If you still can't memorize it tomorrow, I'm going to punish you. Hum! ”
His father threw the book back to him without even looking at it, and he was lying on the ground and did not reach out to take it, and the book smashed his forehead. When he looked up again, his father had already hugged the much-loved eldest son and the beloved woman who came to greet him, talking and laughing.
"Shun let Yude, Fu heir. On the first day of the first month, he was finally Wenzu. In Xuanji Yuheng, Qi Qizheng. It is like God, it is in the six sects, it looks at the mountains and rivers, and it is all over the gods. Ji Wurui. The moon is the day, the four mountains are herded, and Ban Rui is behind the group.
In February, the east patrol, as for Daizong, firewood. Look at the mountains and rivers, and go to the east. The same time, the moon and the sun, the same law of weights and measures. Cultivate five rites, five jades, three silks, two lives, and one death. Such as the five instruments, the death is the refuge. In May, the south patrol, as for the south of the mountain, such as Dai Li. In August, the west patrol, as for the west mountain, as before. Ten has a new moon patrol, as for the north mountain, such as the West ceremony. Return, grid to the art ancestor, with special. Five years and one patrol, four dynasties after the group. Perfunctory performance, clear test to work, car service to mediocre.
There are two states in Zhao ten, and there are two mountains in Feng ten, and Junchuan. It is like a pawn punishment, five exile punishments, whipping as an official punishment, a pounce as a religious punishment, and gold as a ransom punishment. The disaster is forgiven, and the thief is punished. Admiration, admiration, mercy of punishment! The flow works together in Youzhou, the joy is in Chongshan, the three seedlings are in the three dangers, the cangs are in the Yushan, and the four sins are salty in the world....."
