Chapter 196: A Big Gamble

North Qinning City

————————————

The carriage headed north, and Meili finally stopped at Ningcheng. It is a small town in the northernmost part, bordered by the vast and beautiful Kyushu to the south and the vast desert to the north.

Maybe it was because the desert was lonely and the sunset on the long river was too much in line with her state of mind at that time, so she even offered to stay, and Gu Xiang agreed without hesitation.

Everything was beautiful at the beginning, but no matter how beautiful the scenery was, she would get tired of seeing it, and after the more than a month passed, Mei Li began to be disgusted, her favorite was the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which was full of prosperity, and she couldn't even take a bath here.

People say that this Ningcheng is a pearl in the north of the Saibei, with abundant water and grass and abundant products, but no one mentions that the yellow sand is rolling and the red cliff is thousands of miles out of the city gate, and she only uses a few incense sticks in the city from east to west, from south to north.

Boring, boring, tasteless, hopeless......

On days when the weather is good, Meili often sits by a clear spring in a daze, and her figure is reflected on the mirror-like water, which also makes her feel no longer lonely. At first, people just looked at her quietly, and after a long time, some people would say some good-natured jokes to her, but when she heard it, she felt extremely disgusted.

Especially this greeting that has not changed for thousands of years: The little lady is here to wash her hands again?

Yes, other women come here to wash, wash vegetables, and carry water, and she washes her hands in it at most, and this unusualness quickly attracts everyone's attention, and all kinds of ridicule ensues. "Tut-tut, look at these little hands like shallots, can they still work with osmanthus balm?"

"Do you just wash your hands every day? This day is three points more precious than the daughter of the city lord's family? ”

"What do you do to raise your Nine Heavens Fairy?"

Every time she hears this, Mei Li snorts coldly in her heart, a group of peasant women who have never seen the world, do they think that all women work all their lives like you?

What is the daughter of the city lord's family? She is the princess of a country, she is a golden branch and jade leaf, she is the Nine Heavens Fairy descending to earth! It's an insult to be looked at a few more times by you ordinary people!

Therefore, Mei Li always ignored it, got up and returned to the small courtyard, although this is not the place where the heart wants, at least it is cleaner.

Pushing open the door of the small courtyard, Mei Li was greeted with a broad chest, and she looked up in surprise and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

A gentle kiss was imprinted on his forehead, and Gu Xiang held Meili's face and said with a smile: "I was thinking about you in my heart, so I came back to take a look, and it just so happened that I had something to give you." ”

"What?"

Mei Li raised her eyes and asked with a smile, and saw Gu Xiang take out an extremely gorgeous silk scarf from her arms and put it on her head.

"My eye is not bad, you look great in it."

"Really?" Mei Li touched it and wanted to take off the silk scarf, but Gu Xiang pressed her hand and explained, "Mei Li, you can wear this when you go out in the future." ”

"First, it can shelter the sun and sand, and secondly, it is also to follow the local customs."

Mei Li put down her hand when she heard this, and the grievances in her heart began to spread again. Gu Xiang paused and took off the silk scarf, and explained in detail again, "I know you don't like it, so you don't have to wear it when you're at home, and you have to pay attention when you go out." We're new to the city, and we're too different to get into trouble. ”

It's this again, it's this again!! Mei Li has already begun to shout in her heart, she knows that Gu Si's thoughts are right, but why is she so sad in her heart?

She is such a beauty-loving person, but now she doesn't dare to wear too much expensive jewelry, and she can only wear silk in it, she is like a most ordinary and ordinary woman, facing only firewood, rice, oil and salt every day! And no matter how beautiful this silk scarf is, it is not the gold, stone and jade she likes after all!

One doesn't like it and can tolerate it, two don't like it and can accommodate it, what about three or four? When more and more dislikes piled up, Meili's heart became angry!

She snatched the silk scarf and wrapped it on her head casually, "I know, I'll wear it when I go out!" Don't tell me any more big things! ”

After saying that, Miri slammed the door again, this time she did not go to the bend of the clear spring, but ran out of the city, at this time she would rather sit in the long yellow sand than see any strange face.

Mei Li climbed a high pile of sand, worried about the direction to the south, recalling over and over again, the past turned out to be like a dream, a dream that she could never go back to......

The wind was very strong, and the silk scarf was indeed a good way to block the sun, wind and sand for her, and also to block the tears of grievance. But what did she complain about? She has no worries about food and clothing, she is stable and happy, she has someone who loves her very much, she doesn't seem to lack anything, and even she doesn't like that she can immediately change a place to live and live a different life, so why is it still so uncomfortable......

I don't know how long I sat there, and I don't know when I arrived, but Miri suddenly heard the neighing of horses not far away, and looked up like a caravan.

For Ning Cheng, such a caravan is really commonplace, and Mei Li is not interested in exploring it, who expected, the caravan does not enter the city but rushes towards his side.

Looking up at the desert Gobi, her heart suddenly tightened, and she was about to get up and go back in a panic, but she was already surrounded by several horses. 315 Chinese Network

At this time, Meili's heart was already shaking into chaff, but the mental quality she had cultivated as a princess still made her stand up bravely.

"Bold! Who are you? What do you want to do!! ”

One of the men looked at it with interest for a moment, then burst out laughing, and one of them ripped off Miri's veil at close range.

In the next moment, Mei Li saw the surprise in the man's eyes.

The man laughed with satisfaction, got off the horse, took Mei Li to his chest, and said in a strange accent: "Look, how am I today?" ”

The people around immediately echoed and laughed, "Wang, this woman is slender and soft, and she must be used tightly in bed~!" ”

"Hahahahaha......"

Such rude words did not annoy the man called "Wang", but pleased him very well, and Mei Li was completely stupid at the moment.

Xu is panicked appearance was too moving, the man raised his hand to wipe away the tears that wanted to fall, and said with emotion: "There is an allusion in Kyushu called Jinwu Zangjiao, good-looking women should naturally be treated gently, you rough people don't frighten my little beauty." ”

Sure enough, the others stopped talking, and the man raised Miri's chin again and asked, "What's it called?" ”

Mei Li shrank and looked at the man in front of her, only to feel that his body was too huge, standing in front of him like Mount Tai was overwhelming. And she is like a small animal, trapped in steel and iron bones, painful and scared but unable to escape.

Tears continued to fall, and the man wiped them patiently a few times at first, but when he saw that the tears were wiping more and more, his eyes were piercing.

Feeling the danger, Mei Li subconsciously immediately replied: "Mei Li, my name is Mei Li ......"

But all men have a desire to conquer weak things, seeing Mei Li so obedient, the man's face immediately looked much better, his hand rubbed the soft and smooth face heavily, a fire suddenly ignited in his eyes, and the next moment he lowered his head and kissed the delicate lip flap.

With a strong aura of aggression, Mei Li struggled desperately, but that little bit of strength was nothing, but it only added some stimulation, and the man's kiss became thicker and heavier, rough and domineering.

A few people next to him laughed as if they were lively, whistling more like an encouragement, "My king is mighty!" My king is mighty! My king is mighty! ”

In the midst of the commotion of several people, the man finally raised his head, and his tongue slid unfinished on the side of his mouth, as if he was very satisfied with the taste.

He grabbed the back of Miri's head and pressed him closer, like a promise, more like an announcement to say, "I like you!" Come back with me and be my woman! ”

"I will let you live the best life, you can eat whatever you want, you can wear whatever you want, live in the most gorgeous palace, lie on top of the mountains of gold and silver, and enjoy endless for a lifetime!"

Mei Li looked at this mountain-like man, her face was full of flamboyance and confidence, her fear gradually disappeared, and a yearning rose in her heart.

Thoughts drifted back to the small city not far away, the small courtyard in the small city, the person in the small courtyard......

To be honest, Gu Xiang is really good to her, and the love that comes out of her bones. Although she lived in this lonely town, she had never suffered a little and was tired. At night, they would make tea and talk under the green light, and sleep in the veil, which was the time of peace in the eyes of many people, and she once felt extremely happy.

But during the day, when Gu wanted to go out and be busy, she often looked at the sky in the small courtyard, melancholy and lost.

Gu Xiang can give her warmth, give her love, and give her a quiet life, but he can't give her a palace.

And she is a princess, without a palace, is she still a princess?

Moving her gaze upward, Mei Li smiled at the man and gently leaned on this chest......

The man burst out laughing, got on his horse with Mei Li in his arms, and walked away.

The vast desert, the barren Gobi, the small cities that are getting farther and farther away......

The horse's back was very bumpy, and Meili's uncomfortable internal organs seemed to be about to shift, but she didn't dare to say anything, just cautiously leaned back to her chest, and then closed her eyes.

She didn't know where to go, she didn't know what this person was, it was more like a big gamble, and the stake was her youth and future.

Thinking of Gu again, he must be looking for her everywhere in the city, right? You must be anxious and overwhelmed, right? But he will never find her......

Goodbye, my thoughts, goodbye, my hometown......
