Chapter Eighty-Four: Let's Be an Eagle
"I heard that Kui Xing is in charge of the meritorious imperial examination, so he must be a well-mannered white-faced scholar, right?"
Qingwen asked, wrapped in a big quilt, and was being poured ginger soup by Baoyu.
"Where, it's just the opposite," Baoyu replied know-it-all and glancely: "This Kuixing holds a big brush in his right hand, called Zhu Pen, which means to use the pen to point the name of the scholar who is in the middle of the lift, he holds an ink fountain in his left hand, the golden rooster is independent in his right foot, and he steps on the head of a big fish (a kind of big turtle) in the sea, which means that the candidate 'dominates the leader'......"
"Tsk, it would be nice if Zhu Bi clicked on me. Qingwen looked intoxicated and fascinated, and she was already on the gold list.
"Look at the sky, the star array is in the shape of a big curved hook, which is the way Grandpa Kuixing swings out with his left foot, raises it, and kicks it back. ”
"Baoyu, what you said is really ha, it's really similar! This big curved hook star array is more like the big curved hook at the bottom right of the word 'Kui', the buckling hook is really wonderful, wonderful. Qingwen was ordered by this, and her mind has been cleared.
She couldn't help but dance with her hands, although there was no sword in her hand, Qingwen held her hands empty, and figuratively compared the sword dance in the hole.
During this period, the sword momentum will be bent for a while, and the sword will be drawn for a while......
These two people, one dancing the sword and the other watching the sword, are very happy......
"It's the word 'Kui' in this Kui star, which is taken in a zigzag shape, like a ghost raising its feet and fighting. ”
Baoyu has always been pedantic, and at this time, he inadvertently started the study of exegesis.
"You wait!" Hearing this, he not only shouted excitedly.
"Gah-"
A hiss was penetrating, coming from the valley of the western mountains.
Baoyu was drinking tea in the side room, and the sound of neighing made him look out the window. This was the first time he had heard a bird song that was both familiar and unfamiliar after returning from the Great Wilderness Mountain.
Through a few holes, the bell rang and transmitted the sound to Baoyu: "It seems that the little scholar has to be a 'handle' of the eagle......"
Baoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and replied:
"Why did Your Highness say this?!She hasn't practiced her swordsmanship yet, how can she have time to play eagle fighting dogs?!"
The bell replied: "Although it is said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, but with hard work, what kind of system can be achieved and what righteous path can be restored?!"
When Baoyu heard the bell say this, she quickly silenced her.
Qingwen reluctantly put down the sword duel in her heart, she patted the dust on her clothes and stood up.
......
Because Qingwen had to enter the West Mountain Forest, Ringing also arranged for her to soak in the eldest lady's luxurious hedonistic hot spring medicinal bath.
When everyone left, she excitedly poured almost half of the edible seasonings in the spice box she brought with her, such as citrus tangerine peel, air-dried chamomile slices, musk blocks, green pu powder, and matcha, into the hot spring.
To be honest, the bell is not for her to smoke incense, but in fact it is steaming and distracting in the Olympic heat...... I don't want to practice any ancient rock paintings anymore.
Through the screen, Wei Xiaobao said: "I haven't seen a pig run, so why do you know how to eat meat." If you haven't cultivated your true taste, why talk about being crooked on weekdays?"
These words, according to Qingwen's understanding, can be translated as: "Bah, bah, there is leisure, laziness and reasonableness." The toil, rain and dew are all wet. ”
Originally, practicing swordsmanship by yourself is a stupid bird that can't fly, so you should spend more effort. It's good at this time, Qingwen was forcibly interrupted by the bell again, and she was explicitly ordered to be an eagle "style".
For a while, he was too serious, and he really couldn't get out of the situation of practicing, couldn't let go of swordsmanship, and had no interest in playing at all.
......
"Hehe," Wei Xiaobao, who was leading the horse for Qingwen, seemed to be a roundworm in her stomach, saw through her anxiety, and said with a smile:
"Even if you play eagle and dog, it's not at the level of 'half a pot of vinegar wandering' that you can deal with, if you want to play, you may be the same as the progress of practicing swordsmanship now, after all, you still can't find the way. ”
"Are you agitating the general?!" Qingwen angrily took the dry food and a mulberry stick and left: "Hmph, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see." ”
Walking to the head of the village, she turned around, changed the arrogance of what she had just spoken, and said softly: "Your Highness, you have to make me a thicker holster!"
"Oh, what a big face, Your Highness will make you a holster......" Xue Pan finally found a chance to speak.
......
It only took half an hour for the fast horse to reach the foot of the West Mountain.
After crossing the ridges of the four Gushan North Road, Qingwen still did not find any trace of the eagle.
Before leaving, Qingwen had already prepared for the matter of "pulling the eagle", however, she didn't think that until twilight was approaching, there was still no gain on this day.
She was patient and flipped another beam.
In the snow, in the cracks of large rocks, a gray feather fluttered in the wind......
With her divine sense, Qingwen recognized that it was a feather that had fallen from an adult eagle.
Bringing the feather in her hand closer to her eyes, Qingwen carefully twisted the feather a few times, and then, her eyes looked away from her eyes again, looking at the cliff on the side of the mountain.
After a difficult walk, and sure enough, in the snow nest of the cliff, Qingwen found a second feather......
"That's right, the eagle's nest should be above this cliff......"
When she climbed to a place a few steps away from the top of the cliff in one breath, Qingwen suddenly felt bad, only to feel a cold wind coming from the back of her head, and then, before she could squat down, the top of her brain was hit by a sharp thing.
If it weren't for the fur hat on her head, maybe Qingwen's head would have been poked out of a big hole at this time.
When she was in a hurry, Qingwen turned her head and instinctively blocked the door with a mulberry stick......
It turned out that it was the big eagle that attacked Qingwen just now that attacked again.
The arrow wind killed, and a pair of angry bright eyes covered Qingwen along with the swooping figure......
"Woo-" A whistle sounded, and the big eagle heard the wailing, hula la, and slowly landed on Qingwen's shoulder.
"Don't make trouble!" Qingwen whistled and muttered: "It's a little like you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you started to bully?!"
The heavy night surrounded the lonely mountain, attracting the surrounding wind to kill.
In the night, Qingwen carefully held the big eagle in her arms. Perhaps because her arms were warmer than the eagle's nest, the nightblind "child eagle" fluttered twice, and stopped tossing.
All of its adoptive and obedient followers should be attributed to the fact that the night has subdued the eagle's untamed heart, and likewise, it is also due to the fact that the whistle awakens a certain memory of it......
Qingwen thought to herself, it seems that this time the eagle is not only relying on technology, but also some luck.
......
"I thought you were going to squat in the snow nest tonight, but I didn't expect that you would succeed in pulling the eagle so quickly and go home. ”
Although Baoyu is also a teacher and friend to Qingwen, he is more strict on weekdays, but he never hesitates to let go of any opportunity to affirm and encourage Qingwen.
He just smoothed the feathers of the big eagle so gently and indifferently, and the "child eagle" bowed his head and was a little obedient.
"It's a she-eagle, you have to be careful. Qingwen instructed while handing over the leather gloves, which are necessary for eagle training made by Ringbell.
