Volume 2 Tragic Song Chapter 162 Prairie
"Shallot on the dew, how easy.
The Ming Dynasty of the Lu Dynasty is more and more falling,
When will people return when they die?"
Under the blue sky, the endless grassland seems to be the felt of the gods resting under the dome, smooth and vast.
The white clouds slowly moved towards the north, constantly changing their posture as if they were trying to make a difference.
On the verdant grassland, scattered with crystal and clear lakes,
They may be small, but they are like mirrors, reflecting everything in the sky.
Blue sky, white clouds, geese flying by, and eagles that occasionally appear in the clouds.
A herd of wild horses was drinking greedily by a lake, and one of them, a white, long-maned steed was watching the wind and grass around him vigilantly.
It is the leader of this herd of wild horses and is tasked with protecting the safety of the herd.
Strangely, it saw the sheep and the little girl singing in the flock, but it had no intention of warning its companions.
It was as if the melodious singing and the white flock of sheep and the girls tending the sheep should have been a part of the grassland.
After a few moments, the white horse let down all his guard at the girl's singing, lowered his head and drank peacefully.
The little girl sat on the grass among the sheep and sang incessantly,
It's just that the song doesn't seem to be a good word, and the tune makes people listen to it very sadly.
So the girl stopped singing and singing.
She pursed her lips and grabbed a few small sticks of grass with her fleshy little hands and threw them forward.
The grass and the soft soil fell into the flock, causing several sheep around to run to the side in fright by her sudden action.
When he was far away, he turned around and looked at the girl with puzzled eyes.
"Stinky brother, all of the songs taught by Xin'er are so sad, it's not fun at all."
The little girl said with some grievances, but after finishing speaking, she glanced at the far north, but there was no resentment in her eyes, only longing.
"Xin'er, Xin'er, I'm coming back for dinner."
Beside the yurt under the clouds, an ugly-looking woman shouted loudly in the direction of the distant flock,
The woman was dressed in a garment made of linen, and her swarthy face was full of pits.
If a stranger meets her, there is a good chance that she will be frightened.
The woman's cry was blown into the girl's ears by a breeze,
The girl stood up, looked in the direction of the yurt in the distance, and at a glance said to the sheep quite seriously:
"Sheep, you eat grass slowly, be good, my sister will come back when she goes."
With that, she scurried in the direction of the woman who had just called her.
The sheep seemed to understand what the girl said, and they all stopped moving, and sat on their knees on the ground to bask in the sun.
"Auntie, is my brother back?"
Before Xin'er could return to the yurt, she asked the smiling woman standing next to the yurt.
The woman seemed to look at Xin'er very dotingly, and replied with a smile:
"It's just that you haven't seen you for three days, can't you wait?
After a few years, when you grow up and get married, do you want your brother to accompany you for the rest of your life? ”
Xin'er, who had already approached the woman, was puzzled when she heard this, and she thought about it again and then asked:
"Yes, I just want my brother to stay with me for the rest of my life."
Hearing Xin'er's reply, the woman pursed her lips and smiled, and led Xin'er into the yurt.
"Auntie, what do you mean to get married?
Can I marry my brother? ”
After entering the yurt, Xin'er picked up a bowl of hot milk, drank it carefully, and asked the woman.
The woman sat down next to Xin'er, touched her hair, and said:
"Your brother is
This rare man in the world, in this vast grassland, any woman is willing to follow him for the rest of his life.
But you're only four years old, and it's still too early to get married. ”
Xin'er put down the bowl, and said seriously while thinking carefully:
"So how can you grow up quickly?
Auntie, why don't you marry your brother?
Does my brother have a lot of girls who like it?
Does Aisha, from Grandpa Zhemu's family, want to marry him too?
My brother never taught them to sing.
So my brother likes Xin'er the most, right? ”
Faced with Xin'er's series of questions, the woman just gently stroked Xin'er's hair, and didn't seem to want to answer.
It's just that her mind went back to that cold day more than four years ago.
Xin'er noticed her aunt's distraction, and she was well-behaved and never bothered this gentle woman who raised her.
She just picked up the bowl and drank slowly.
"Da-da-da-da-da."
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came into the tent, and Xin'er hurriedly jumped up and was about to run out of the tent when she heard the sound of horses' hooves, but as soon as she stood up, she was immediately pressed down by her aunt.
"Auntie go out and have a look first, you wait first."
"It's Xiaohong, I can hear him."
Although Xin'er understands that her aunt's caution is also for her own safety, she is still a little dissatisfied with her aunt's actions.
Because she could indeed hear that the horse running in the distance was Xiaohong, who was carrying her brother.
Sure enough, not long after, my aunt's joyful shout came from outside the tent.
"Xin'er, Xin'er, your brother Xiao is back."
Hearing the call, Xin'er should be like this even if it is a copy,
But after all, she missed her brother too much, and immediately ran out.
In the distance, on the back of a maroon red horse galloping and galloping, a thin man was approaching the yurt.
The man's appearance and clothing were different from those of the men of the prairie, and his hair was not draped over his shoulders like the men of the prairie.
He tied his hair in a bun and tied a scarf, and the two strips of cloth left behind by the scarf swayed backwards as the horse galloped.
He was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, which was obviously not the dress that a man on the prairie should have.
But even so, the woman next to the yurt still had a warm smile when she looked at the young man's return,
She took Xin'er's hand, who ran out of the yurt, and the two waited for his return together.
"Ayir."
When the man on the horse also saw the two men next to the yurt, he immediately stood up on the horse, waved at the two of them, and called the woman's name loudly.
Ayi'er greeted her with a smile, but Xin'er snorted and turned to run towards her flock in the distance.
"Coming back?"
Ayi'er walked up to the man's horse, took the reins, and asked softly.
The man hurriedly dismounted, patted the sweaty horse's head with his hand, and replied with a smile:
"I'm back, do you have anything to eat, I'm going to starve to death."
Ayi'er said with a smile:
"There's food in the yurt, go eat it."
As the man walked towards the yurt, he said to Ayi'er:
"Have you eaten Xin'er?
As for her, I just saw her with you. ”
After Ayier unloaded the saddle from the horse's back, she patted the horse's back,
The horse ran straight to the flock of sheep in the distance.
Ayi'er then turned to look at the man and said:
"She ate it, and you called my name right away, but you didn't call her, so Xin'er must be angry, so she was angry with you.
Uh, isn't that? ”
Ayi'er smiled and said as she walked in the direction where Xin'er was
Mouthful.
The man laughed, and he patted the dust off his clothes and went into the yurt.
Ayir brought food to the man, and when the man took it, she sat down beside him, watching him gently as he devoured the food while wiping the soup from his beard with his sleeve.
"Ayi'er, I'm afraid we're really going to move out this time,
In the past few days, Brother Zhezhe and I have gone to several surrounding tribes to inform them that the selection of Shan Yu will be held in Longcheng next year.
So I'm afraid it's not safe for us to stay here for the next few months.
After all, the Di people from the north and east may pass through here. ”
The man said as he ate,
It's just that he didn't notice it, but a trace of reluctance flashed in the eyes of Ayi'er beside him.
After the man finished speaking, Ayi'er said softly:
"Listen to you."
After finishing speaking, Ayier lowered her head and gently rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands and stopped talking.
The man seemed to notice Ayi'er's abnormality,
He turned his head to look at Ayi'er, but happened to see that she was also looking at him, so he smiled and whispered to her:
"Ayi'er, when this war is over, we can just move back, don't be afraid, okay?"
Ayi'er smiled and shook her head slightly,
She got up, picked up the bowl the man had eaten, and went aside to wash it.
"You saved Xin'er's lives and me, and without you, the two of us would have died in Xijing.
So whatever you say, I'm willing.
It's just that Ayier is indeed a little reluctant to leave here,
In the past four years, it has been the best memory of Ayier's life. ”
Listening to Ayi'er's deep affection, the man also fell into a burst of memories, but after a while, he came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Don't say that, after we moved out, we lived with Brother Zhezhe and them, and it wasn't like we couldn't come back.
How the three of us lived in the past, and how we will live when we go to Brother Zhezhe's tribe in the future, you don't have to worry too much. ”
After the man finished speaking, he saw Ayi'er nodding, and then stood up with confidence.
"I'll go find Xin'er,
After a while, Brother Zhezhe will come and help us move the yurt.
I've got to tell Xin'er about it.
The province will make this little girl unhappy again. ”
Ayi'er smiled at the man, then lowered her head and continued to scrub the dishes.
It wasn't until the man walked out of the yurt that she suddenly sighed.
"I'm afraid that from now on,
We will no longer be able to live together in seclusion,
That's what Ayier is most reluctant to do. ”
Looking at the arrival of several carriages in the distance, Ayier knew that her peaceful life was about to leave.
"Ayi'er, where is Brother Jinxing?
Didn't he come back first? ”
A rough-looking man grinned at Ayi'er with a scarf and asked her.
Ayi'er pretended to laugh, changed her frustration, and hurriedly pulled Zhezhe and the others into the yurt room and served some food for each of them.
"He and Xin'er are on the other side of the dam, and I'll call them back.
You eat something first. ”
Zhezhe and the others were not polite, and after hearing the sound, they devoured their meals.
While eating, she praised Ayi'er's craftsmanship, even if she was the maid of the Immortal Heaven, she was afraid that it would be nothing more than that.
Although Ayi'er was a little sad in her heart, she was infected by these bold men in a blink of an eye, and she became happy.
She was about to walk out of the yurt to find Xin'er and the others, but saw that Xiao Jinxing was pulling Xin'er and was about to arrive at the yurt.
To Ayi'er's surprise, Xin'er, who was following Xiao Jinxing, had no angry look at all.
She tugged at the corners of Xiao Jinxing's clothes tightly, and she still had a happy smile on her face.
