57. Blocked in the rain
Xia Xing casually lifted the dried flowers into the lake, and said to Minglang when he watched them rise and fall: "You see them struggling in the water, it's so pitiful." Soil, sunlight, and water all help them grow, but they can only get life and reproduction again and again by choosing the soil, if they choose the wrong one just because of that little warmth, the light will make it crush and ashes, and the water will make it rot and stink, and become nourishment. ”
Minglang inexplicably felt cold at noon in the scorching sun, and thought that she would sigh to the falling flowers like all women, and she was really afraid that she would say that she liked Mingqin, and was thinking about how to comfort her that there was no grass at the end of the world, and then take advantage of the weakness to enter. According to his understanding over the years, Xia Xing and Ming Qin have always been focused on Meng Meng when they were studying in Meng, and now Ming Qin is so concerned about Konka.
Xia Xing took out dried flowers and sprinkled them in the lake, under normal circumstances, everyone would think that she was playing with water burial? Still sighing with sadness and sighing Mingqin's flowing water is incomprehensible, but he seems to have been intimidated, blaming me for being too young, guessing the beginning but not the end. I don't know whether to comfort myself or comfort Xia Xing: "The princess cares about what the dried flowers do, whether it is destroyed or turned into nourishment, it is just its choice, it should always be responsible for what it does, and it should be like this when it comes to the lives of dead things." ”
Xia Xing looked sideways at Minglang and asked matter-of-factly, "Has the third prince ever drowned?" "No, the princess asked what was going on?" Xia Xing shook his head and muttered, "Then you are really lucky, it won't take long to experience it." Then he nervously asked, "Then you can kill fish and grill fish?" Minglang was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, this fish has never been roasted, but I followed my father to hunt and roast the hares and antelopes that I hunted." ”
"That's good, you won't go hungry." Xia Xing patted his chest reassuringly and said to Minglang: "Then let's go grill the fish now, it's almost noon, and I'm a little tired of eating dim sum." Minglang said happily: "Do you want to eat fish?" Please wait a moment, princess, and I'll catch you." Xia Xing stopped him: "Hey----, why waste time, isn't there a bucket?" It just so happened that we helped them solve the space problem, and they couldn't put it down. ”
Minglang: "。。。。。。 "I give full marks for this reason.
So Minglang moved charcoal and carbon basins, and before he could come out of the cabin, the rain poured down, Xia Xing had already prepared to enter the painting boat to watch the excitement, but a few people outside were drenched in embarrassment, and there were six people standing there shaking the water.
It's okay that Konka Baiyi was protected, but the cuffs of the skirt were half wet, and Mingjin Mingqin was drenched from head to toe. There are six in a row, Konka and Bai Yi shook the cuff skirt, Ming Qin and Ming Jin shook their shirts, Xia Han shook their cloaks, and Shuhui was watching from the side. Mingqin asked enviously, "Where did this cloak come from?" Xia Han shook his soaked cloak and asked, "You said this?" It was Xia Xing who brought it out and asked me to hold it for her. ”
Bai Yi and Konka instantly noticed that it was covered by Xia Xing when he was sleeping in the car, needless to say, Shuhui was okay and was brought back by Xia Han, and they regretted it instantly. When the heavy rain just poured, Bai Yi and Ming Jin ran back directly, and the second one who came back was Ming Qin pulling Konka, Konka originally wanted to see how Xia Han was, but he was forced to pull back. Bai Yi regretted that he didn't know that his cloak was drenched, but Konka was envious that Shuhui was also brought back by Xia Han.
Thinking that Xia Han used the hand that saved him to support the cloak and protect Shuhui on his chest, the whole person was not good, his eyes looked at Xia Han and the cloak blankly, and his nails unconsciously pinched into the flesh. A few people came out alone without spare clothes, they kept twisting there, and now the charcoal that Minglang brought up was useful, not only to grill fish but also to dry clothes. The four of Ming Qin were miserable and miserable around the brazier to bake their clothes, and they were glamorous and beautiful before they came back.
Xia Xing took the wooden stick of the fish skewer, roasted the fish alone in another brazier, and Minglang sat by the houseboat to kill the fish and wash it with rainwater. Shuhui also saw that Xia Xing was on her side, so she picked up the cloak and wanted to come here to roast, but Xia Han stretched out his hand to stop: "Thank you Second Princess, I won't have to bother to come by myself." He took the cloak from her hand and placed it on the screen to dry naturally.
Shu Hui was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to put it aside?" Wouldn't it be quick to bake by the brazier? Xia Xingdai replied: "Anyway, I don't need it for the time being, just let it do it by itself, we can leave a vacant seat to roast the fire by ourselves, or we can make grilled fish to eat." If you have nothing to do, you might as well go to the last window and call the boatman in, such a heavy rain can no longer rock the boat, it is too dangerous, let him lay the anchor to help the third prince kill the fish." ”
"Okay." In response, she also ran to the rear, fortunately the boatmen ferried rain gear, fishing tools, clothes, charcoal, pots and pans, and spices all year round. Otherwise, there is no way to get soaked, the boatman will go to scale the fish and clean the fish body after changing into clean clothes, Minglang is now only responsible for killing the fish and cleaning the belly and gills of the fish, Xia Xing, Xia Han, and Shuhui are also all roasted on the brazier with fish.
There are also two braziers here, one of which is occupied for baking clothes, and the boatman takes out a large pot that has not been used for a long time as a brazier, and sets up a small pot on it to cook the two largest fish that have been caught, and after putting the seasoning, he asked Minglang: "Childe, these alone are not enough, the villain will go and catch some shrimp and crabs to stew a pot of river fresh stew." Minglang nodded, wishing he could find some more to eat.
The rain curtain outside is dense, the fish soup inside is fragrant, and finally everyone has a hot meal at noon, of course, it is not clear what time it is outside the sky now, and the general outline of the object can be seen within an arm's distance, and nothing can be seen clearly if it is far away. Ming Qin's four clothes were basically dried, and they all sat at the big table in the center of the painting boat, where there were a lot of melons and fruits for the nobles to eat.
The boatman put a layer of coarse cloth in the center of the table and brought up the small pot of river fresh stew, and said solemnly: "Today's conditions are simple, and the aggrieved nobles have used the villain's rice pot to cook." Ming Qin looked at the small brown and white stoneware pot and muttered in his heart, can the things cooked in such a pot be eaten? There is also a piece missing from the edge of the pot, and from there you can see how low-end rough the clay pot is, and the uneven gray earth-colored bottom of the trumpet.
The tiles in the palace are more than ten times stronger than it, and the fragments of blue bricks on the city walls are no more than that. Mingjin's face is not very good, Minglang can still calmly throw a certain amount of gold to the boatman, but it is conceivable that the two delicate princesses of southern Xinjiang are pale, and I don't know if they are frozen or angry. Not to mention the big soaking in the honey pot, oh no, there is an exception that can make her change, waiting for the grilled fish next to Xia Han.
Bey couldn't stand it and slapped the table: "Let's go back, what else to eat." Then he pointed to the boatman, "You, now immediately set sail for this princess and go back." The boatman knelt down in fear and pleaded: "Ah, princess? Damn it, the villain really can't go back, princess, you can't sail now......" "Shut up, I said I could, don't hurry up." "The boatman begged for mercy but refused to sail.
Bai Yi was angry: "Fourth prince, I don't care, now I just want to go back to ......" Before he finished spitting out the words, there was a boom, lightning and thunder, as if he was ringing in his ears right in front of him, and everyone was stunned. Suddenly, Bai Yi pounced in front of Ming Jin: "What the hell is this weather, it's terrible outside, I'm going back now, Fourth Prince." Mingjin, shall we go back and let him go boating......"
Mingjin helplessly held Bai Yi: "This ......" Kang Jia stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Yi's sleeve: "Third sister, we ......" Shu Hui was also frightened by the thunder and listened to Bai Yi's howl, and suddenly couldn't bear it, interrupted Kang Jia's words of persuasion and said: "Princess Bai Yi can stop in moderation, you are the one who wants to come out to swim in the lake, you are the one who doesn't go back at noon, you are the one who wants to play until dark, and you are the one who is making trouble to go back now." ”
"Not long ago, Prince Xia Han said not to travel far, and to go back as soon as possible to enjoy the scenery, but you don't listen to the persuasion and insist on going your own way. So far, everyone has been with you and you haven't said anything, so you have to go back, and you don't want to see if you can go back, don't we want to go back? Bai Yi was angry and aggrieved, and pointed at Shu Huiye: "You ......" Seeing this, Ming Jin hurriedly pulled Bai Yi behind him to block: "Second Emperor Sister, you are talking too much." ”
Konka hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I'm sorry, we have caused you to be involved, Konka apologizes to you." The third sister is just too afraid of the rain, the torrential rain in southern Xinjiang will bring plague and death, it is really profound, and I ask the second princess to forgive me. If the princess's anger can be appeased, Konka is willing to deal with it. He glanced at everyone and bowed down again, "This matter is caused by my two sisters, and Konka will bear it when I go back." ”
Ming Qin looked at Konka disapprovingly, with a look of pity: "Princess Konka doesn't have to be sorry, who would have expected that there would be heavy rain blocked in the lake?" It's still sunny when it comes out, and even the boatmen who live here all year round don't see anything? How can I blame you? Besides, let the women take responsibility, what kind of face do we men have? "I clicked two groups of people in a row, and my heart was much more comfortable, who dared to blame Konka in secret.
It was a decision made together, and no one could escape it. Minglang secretly hates Mingqin for many things, I feel sorry for a beauty like Konka, and this prince can't bear to comfort you casually, but why are you pulling us into the water? Originally, I couldn't avoid punishment when I went back, but with Konka's sentence, we'll be fine, you are biased...... A no-brainer. hurriedly stood up to save the scene: "What Ming Qin said is reasonable, Princess Kangjia doesn't have to blame herself, this matter is caused by the palace's poor consideration." ”
While everyone was arguing, an inopportune voice sounded: "Don't you all eat?" It's cold for a while, but it doesn't taste good. I saw Xia Xing lift the rough lid of the pot, smell the white gas, sigh 'It's really good, the flavor is fragrant and the soup is thick', and then picked up a clean tea bowl and filled the bowl and said: "The boatman cooked this by you, if they don't eat it, you can eat it." ”
