Volume 2 Chapter 157 Zhongshan Wind and Rain
The rainstorm was small for a while, and on Zhongshan Mountain, a dirty Pekingese dog came out of the woods and shook off the rain on his body. It walked to a mountain wall with clear water, tilted its head and stuck out its tongue, quickly retracted and "haw, haw", drank water for a while, and shook the wet hair on its body.
Not far away is a small temple, where the rain is pouring down the eaves along the roof and hitting the puddles on the ground, splashing white.
Miaojin's voice said: "I'm soaked all over, I'm afraid of being bumped into, how can I go down the mountain?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu took out a fire fold from his arms, which was already soaked, so he threw it aside, and then took out a fire sickle and flint. Miao Jin was surprised when she saw this: "You still brought this thing?" ”
"I went out to run errands today and brought some things with me." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then went to the corner of the wall to grab a handful of thatch, and collected the broken wood on the messy ground, and broke it to make firewood. While he was busy, he said, "The silk clothes are light and thin, and they are easy to dry, so bake your clothes dry and then go down the mountain." ”
Soon a fire lit up in the house, and Chi Yue squatted in front of the fire and stretched out her hand to make a fire, she was dressed exquisitely, but her hair and clothes were already messy.
There are no windows in the ruined temple, the lighting is very poor, and the light is very dim before the fire is lit. At this time, the gorgeous face glowed with goose yellow in the firelight, like a beautiful oil painting.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu began to take off his robe, and Chi Yue said a little nervously: "What are you doing?" ”
"I took off the liner and tore it to make a rope." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the wall, "Your clothes will have to be put up in a while, so that they can be dried up." ”
Chi Yue's face turned red when she heard this, and she looked like she wanted to say something, but she finally didn't say anything. Zhu Gaoxu had already stripped off the lining and turned it into a bare shoulder, Miaojin squatted there, and couldn't help but glance at him from time to time, and her body became more and more nervous.
Zhu Gaoxu did things neatly, quickly made the cloth rope, and pulled it horizontally in the broken house. He closed the door again.
Seeing this, Chi Yue blushed and couldn't move, looking very flustered.
After a while, she said in a trembling voice: "You turn around, don't turn back!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and turned his back to the inside.
There was a quiet noise beside the fire, the occasional "crackling" of damp wood in the fire.
"Okay?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
"Hmm." Chi Yue's voice answered softly.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw that all kinds of women's clothes were on the cloth rope, like a curtain, next to the fire. He seems to have made a mistake, if he had kept the fire inside when he had tied the rope, and the inside was bright and the outside was dark, he would have been able to see the black and white shadows. Now the fire is outside, and nothing can be seen. However, Zhu Gaoxu can roast the fire, but it is not so cold.
At this moment, there was a sudden "bang", a gust of wind blew, and the door was blown open, and even the clothes on the rope were scraped and scattered to the ground, and there was an exclamation in the house.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and saw that Chi Yue's face was flushed, and he hurriedly squatted down and curled up next to the fire.
He stayed for a moment before he came to his senses, turned around and closed the wooden door, and found another log to hold on. At this moment, her trembling voice suddenly said, "Is it beautiful?" Zhu Gaoxu listened and turned around. At this time, Chi Yue raised her head and looked at him, and the two looked at each other and couldn't say a word.
After a long while, Chi Yue took a deep breath, slowly got up, gently stood on tiptoe and spun around the fire twice, and said softly, "King Gaoyang, you have to remember. ”
Her almond eyes were naturally charming and beautiful, and in this dilapidated wooden house, with the help of a crude bonfire, this scene seemed dreamy and unreal, but so delicate, even the silver ornaments on her earlobes were real.
Her charming, shyness, fear, nervousness, and countless contradictory things are all on that face that captivates the country and the city, and they melt together.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to respond to her words.
Chi Yue said faintly: "I remember to meet in Qingquan Temple, I said, King Gaoyang's words are so warm, and his arms must be very warm." You let me die in your arms......"
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to understand something, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have a way, and I will handle that matter." Wait two more days, it's only two days! ”
Chi Yue also shook her head, bit her lip lightly, and said with a red face, "King Gaoyang, hug me." ”
The tendons on Zhu Gaoxu's forehead bulged out again, and he finally walked towards her slowly.
Chi Yue leaned her head softly on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear like a spell: "I want you to remember my good, I want you to have heartache and regret, so that you can always remember me today." Then I will not die, but remain in this world......"
The wind rose again, and it blew very fiercely in the light rain. The branches and leaves of the treetops were constantly shaking, and the silk hemp grass on the roadside was fluttering like a waterfall in the wind.
The wind poured into the crack in the door, and the sound was very loud, and the whining wind was unusually forgetful. The two flowers lined with white silk and embroidered on the cloth rope were bright red, and the wind blowing in through the crack in the door puffed up like a sail, and the soft fabric rippled in the wind like waves.
……
There was a torrential rain yesterday that quickly subsided, but the wind continued until this morning.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Jing Qing got up and cleaned up. He put on a brand-new white silk lining, tied a white silk around his waist, and then inserted the sheathed dagger into the waist silk, he stared at himself in the bronze mirror, and put the clean regimental leader's official uniform on the outside with a calm face, the official uniform had just been ironed, and the folded straight lines were still visible. Then put on a black gauze hat and straighten it.
Jing Qing was neat and tidy, just a big red flower, and he dressed up like a groom.
Walking out along the corridor, Jingqing saw that her daughter was at the door of a room, her face was tired and pale, holding on to the door frame, looking at him.
"Ready? Wait for the old man's news. Jing Qing looked at her and said.
Miao Jin nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just sighed faintly.
When Jing Qing walked out of the mansion gate, he saw two more red words on the door: traitor!
"Humph!" Jing Qing made a sound from his nose, and when his entourage led the horse, he turned over and got on the horse. One attendant held a horse staff in front, one led the horse, and two people followed behind him, and walked in the direction of the royal street.
It was late spring and early summer, but it was raining and windy yesterday, and it was still chilly early in the morning. The time of the early pilgrimage was very early, and the light was a little hazy when he went out, and the slave with a horse staff in front carried a lantern.
The group passed by the Qinhuai River, and Jing Qing saw that the water waves on the river were drifting, and the faint white mist was faint. The cold wind blew on his face, and he couldn't help but strangled the horse's head slightly, looked at the river, and muttered: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone." Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and exhale into a white rainbow......"
After groaning, he sighed in the wind and continued to walk.
When they came to the street, there were more and more officials who went to the court, some on horseback, some on donkeys, some on horse-drawn carriages, and lanterns everywhere were dotted. Some people who live a little far from the imperial city, in order not to be late, have to light lanterns in the morning to see the road clearly.
Jingqing walked all the way and saw that most of the shops on the street had already opened. There was a stove outside the roadside restaurant, and the steamer on it was steaming white, and all kinds of fragrances were wafting all over the street.
Jing Qing felt a little hungry, thinking about death|The prisoner had to eat a full meal before leaving, and he couldn't be a starving ghost. So he told his attendant to stop, gave a servant a few copper plates, and said, "Buy two buns and ask for mutton filling." ”
When the servant brought the hot bun wrapped in vegetable leaves, Jing Qing only felt that his mouth was full of relish, and he sat on the horse and began to eat, and he said, "If you want to eat, go and buy it." There is still a little more time in the upper court. ”
So the servants pooled the money and handed it to a man and told him to go buy buns.
Jing Qing finished eating a bun, and when he looked up, he could faintly see the heavy eaves of Chengtianmen, he was holding the bun, and his expression gradually became solemn. Quickly reached out and touched the dagger on his waist again.
His face grew colder and firmer.
