Chapter 144, Desert Hall
The vast desert, the vastness, a full moon hung high above the clear and clear sky, a few not very bright stars flickered, Ah Ci lay in the desert, suddenly struck, and was awakened by the cold.
She rubbed her swollen eyes, sat up, hugged her arms tightly, looked up at the moon in the west, and estimated in her heart that the sky was about to dawn, and she hadn't returned all night, Yu Ying's kid had to be in a hurry, right?
She stood up and looked around blankly, silent all around, with the occasional hint of wind kicking up a line of dust.
Ah Ci couldn't help but sneeze and walked a few steps, there was nothing iconic in this desert, she didn't know the way at all.
After walking a few steps and tripping over something, Ah Ci lowered his head, only to see a pale hand on the ground, Ah Ci was so frightened that his heart jumped to his throat, and he took two steps back and fell to the ground. She turned to run, but after two steps she stopped and turned to look at the hand.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked back in, crouched down, and began to dig down the hand.
I don't know how long it took to dig, Ah Ci wiped the sweat on her forehead, and finally saw the man's face, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to probe his snort, and breathing, Ah Ci helped him up, patted the dust off his body, and wiped his face with the handkerchief he carried.
A somewhat excessively beautiful face, with skin as white as snow porcelain, slightly curly blond hair, even the eyebrows and eyelashes are light brown, the bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are dry and pale after being buried in the desert for so long.
Ah Ci patted his face, but he didn't wake up, Ah Ci tried to carry her, but after all, his physical strength was limited, and he barely moved a few meters away, so Ah Ci simply lay down and looked at the faint sky.
Yu Ying's shout came from not far away, Ah Ci stood up, waved his hand and responded loudly: "I'm here!" ”
Several people came, in addition to Yu Ying, the young master of the caravan Lingju also came, seeing that Ah Ci was fine, Yu Ying let out a long breath, Yu Ying's nose was frozen red, and his hair was unkempt, Ah Ci looked at him funny and sad, hugged him, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm worried about you." ”
Yu Ying buried her head in her neck, and said in a choked voice: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Ah Ci suddenly remembered, walked over and said to Lingju: "Young Master Lingju, I found a person in the desert, can you save him?" ”
Lingju's good-looking eyebrows were slightly raised, Ah Ci pointed to the place where the young man was lying, Lingju's eyes changed slightly, he walked over quickly, and suddenly ordered someone to go over and lift him up.
Ah Ci intuitively felt that he knew the young man, but he didn't ask much, and said to Yingdao: "Let's go back." ”
Back at the tent, Ah Ci ate some dry food, drank a few sips of wine, and was about to return to the road.
At noon, the sun became more and more scorching, and it was the first time for Ah Ci to feel such hot air, Lingju borrowed her and Yu Ying in white robes, and both of them were wrapped in a pair of eyes exposed.
Yu Ying gave Ah Ci a pot of water, Ah Ci asked Yu Ying to walk like this for a few more days, Yu Ying replied that if it went well, it would take at least five days, and it would be difficult to say if it was a storm.
Ah Ci held a worried heart, followed the caravan for another day, the temperature dropped quickly at night, but fortunately, the weather was not bad, and found an oasis, with a water source, the caravan people lit a bonfire, sat in a group, Ah Ci and Yu Ying sat in the corner, Ah Ci could see at a glance that Ling Ju on the opposite side and a man next to him were talking and laughing, she stood up and walked over, and asked Ling Ju: "Young Master Ling Ju, how is that person?" ”
"Ah, he's awake, but he's still weak, resting in the tent, are you going to see him? I'll go with you. Lingju smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth.
Ah Ci thanked him, Lingju stood up, and Yu Ying hurriedly followed and entered the tent with them.
The Hu man sat on the bed, his blue eyes were full of ignorance, Lingju walked over, the man immediately showed a happy face, Lingju said a few words to him that Ah Ci didn't understand, Ah Ci glanced at Yu Ying, Yu Ying also shook his head ignorantly, he came to the Western Regions very rarely, so he didn't understand the language of the Hu people.
"Miss Aci, come over here." Lingju stood up and said to Ah Ci.
Ah Ci hurriedly passed, the Hu man named Xisuo showed a bright smile to Ah Ci, Ah Ci also smiled, Xi Su chattered a lot, Ah Ci glanced at Lingju, Lingju translated: "He said thank you for saving him, and he praised you for being very beautiful." ”
Ah Ci's face turned red, and Lingju asked, "Is there anything you want to say to him?" ”
"Well, it's nothing, he's fine."
Lingju told Ciso's words to Xiso.
Ah Ci saw that Xi Su had nothing to do, so he was also relieved, and went out of the tent with Yu Ying, and then Lingju also came out, he caught up with Ah Ci, handed her something and said, "This is Xi Suo's thank you gift." ”
Ah Ci took the black and shiny stone, blinked, and asked, "What is this?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the dark crystal of the Adina." Lingju squeezed his eyes at Ah Ci, Ah Ci expected that this should be a very valuable thing, and returned it, and said: "I didn't do anything, if he didn't have your help, he would still be dead, so this black crystal should be accepted by you, Ah Ci is ashamed." ”
Lingju didn't answer, his hands were behind his back, the corners of his diamond-shaped mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were a little narrow: "Ah Porcelain girl, this black crystal is only owned by Adina nobles, maybe this is a dowry gift from Siso." ”
"Then I can't take it! I'm already engaged! Ah Ci hurriedly stuffed the black crystal into Lingju's hand, and accidentally touched Lingju's chest, and a wonderful touch came.
A suspicious red cloud appeared on Lingju's honey-colored face, Ah Ci looked at his hand blankly, the panic in Lingju's eyes flashed away, he took two steps back, and said: "Ah Ci girl, it's better for you to explain anything to Xisuo in person, I'm just a messenger." ”
"I don't speak the same language as him, can I explain clearly?" Ah Ci held this black crystal as if he was holding a hot potato, and he didn't take it if he threw it.
Lingju smiled and walked away, Ah Ci pouted and looked at Yu Ying, Yu Ying snatched the black crystal from Ah Ci's hand, and said menacingly: "Sister Ah Ci, you can leave it to me!" I dare to rob my daughter-in-law with my master, and see that my master doesn't beat him all over the ground to find teeth! ”
Yu Ying turned around and entered the tent, but Xisuo ignored him and waved his hand at Ah Ci behind him, calling her name in broken Chinese: "Ah Ci, girl, mother." ”
Yu Ying threw the black crystal on Xisuo, and said coldly: "What do you mean by giving Sister Aci this thing?" ”
Hisoka looked at the black crystal in his hand, picked it up and explained happily: "Thank you, give, Aci, girl's, thank you." ”
Ah Ci stroked his forehead, waved his hand and said, "I don't need your thank you, you can take care of it, we will never meet again in a few days." ”
Xisuo looked at her innocently, and Ah Ci knew that he didn't understand, but it didn't have much to do with her, so she pulled Guo Ying and said, "Let's go." ”
Yu Ying glared at Xisuo viciously, turned around and walked out of the tent again with Ah Ci, and returned to the campfire.
Ah Ci sat for a while and then returned to the tent, and when Yu Ying went back, he saw Ah Ci holding a bronze mirror in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other hand and gesturing on his face.
Seeing this, Yu Ying hurriedly ran over and snatched her scissors, and exclaimed, "Sister Aci, what are you doing?" ”
"You said that if I had a mole on my face, a face as black as charcoal, and a fat body as a sow, would you not like me?" Ah Ci turned his face and asked Yu Yingdao.
Yu Yingwu imagined that Ah Ci's face was full of moles, her face was as black as charcoal, and her body was as fat as a sow, and she hurriedly shook her head, waving away the unsightly image in her mind, and then said, "How come?" ”
Ah Ci glanced at him, put down the mirror, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, Yu Ying said: "Sister Aci, if you are tired, go to sleep quickly, tomorrow you have to drive all day, but you should be able to go to the abandoned city tomorrow night." ”
"Abandon the city? Why is it called an abandoned city? Ah Ci said curiously.
"I don't know about this, although Luming Palace is in the Western Regions, I am a native of the Central Plains, and I don't know much about things here."
Ah Ci lay down, Yu Ying tucked the quilt for her, and said, "I'm going to rest too." ”
Ah Ci hummed softly and turned sideways.
The two of them slept in the same tent, but they didn't sleep in the same bed. Over there, Yu Ying had already blown out the lights and candles, and the tent was plunged into darkness.
After a while, Yu Ying's even breathing was heard, but Ah Ci's eyes were still clear and sleepless.
Suddenly, there was a faint flute sound, and Ah Ci thought to himself that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he might as well go out and take a walk, and he wouldn't get lost if he made a mark this time.
Ah Ci came out of the tent and walked to the sound of the flute, and when she walked to the lake, she saw the tall man and the spirit judge from last night, and she suddenly understood something.
She sighed and was about to go back, but Lingju suddenly stopped her, Ah Ci turned around and said lightly: "I have no intention of disturbing Young Master Lingju, I'm very sorry, I can act as if I didn't see anything, Young Master Lingju doesn't have to worry." ”
Lingju smiled and said, "Say it as if I will do to you if you say it." ”
Ah Ci raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the tall man behind him, the man was handsome and sparse, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight nose, quite heroic. Lingju didn't care about introducing Ah Ci to Ah Ci: "This is Helian An. ”
Ah Ci blessed his body and said, "Helian Gongzi is polite." ”
Helian An stepped forward and hugged his fist towards Ah Ci, Ah Ci looked at him a few more times, Helian An smiled slightly, and let Ah Ci look at him.
Ah Ci retracted his gaze and said, "Then Ah Ci will leave." ”
Lingju nodded, glanced at Helian'an, and said, "I'll send Miss Ah Ci back, lest Miss Ah Ci get lost again." ”
Ah Ci was a little annoyed, but it was indeed a fact that he got lost last night, and no one was allowed to say that he was not?
