Chapter 12: Ambiguity in the Ten Thousand Stone Mountain
Not long after, there were two subordinates at the back door of Zhang's mansion who brought two tall horses, one as white as snow, and the other as fireworks, which was very beautiful.
Mu Xiaoshuang, who came out of the back door, said proudly to Jiang Xiaobai: "These are two good horses, riding them, it only takes about six hours to reach Wanshi Mountain, Jiang Gongzi is still satisfied?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai saw Mu Xiaoshuang showing off to himself with a sly face, but he felt that the two BMWs in front of him were not as good-looking as Mu Xiaoshuang combined. But he didn't dare to say this, so he had to say: "The horse is a good horse, but the mountain is high and the road is far away, if Miss Mu goes together, maybe it is more suitable for the carriage." ”
Mu Xiaoshuang heard Jiang Xiaobai say this, and understood that Jiang Xiaobai cared about him, but he smiled, didn't say much, and walked straight towards the white horse. When the subordinate who led the white horse saw the young lady coming, he immediately fell to the ground so that the young lady could get on the horse. But Mu Xiaoshuang waved his hand and said, "You get up, there's nothing for you here, go down." The two subordinates didn't dare to ask more, so they went down after asking for a peace.
Looking at Mu Xiaoshuang again, he walked towards the white horse unhurriedly, and suddenly exerted his strength when he was still four or five steps away from the white horse, and stepped lightly on his waist, already sitting on the white horse, and then seeing that the horse was not moving at all, as if it was just a dragonfly stopping on his back.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but shout hello. This kind of kung fu is not something that comes casually, only people who are familiar with horseback riding can make such a big move without frightening the horse. Mu Xiaoshuang heard Jiang Xiaobai's applause, and asked Jiang Xiaobai with a smile: "Does the son still think that the carriage is better than the horse?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled calmly: "It's me who is abrupt, I didn't expect Miss Mu to be extraordinary, I deserve to die." After a pause, he added, "In that case, I'll go and prepare some applications, and we'll set off after a while." ”
A moment later, Jiang Xiaobai also stepped on the horse with a bag and rushed to Wanshi Mountain with Mu Xiaoshuang.
The two rode two BMW horses out of the city and rushed to the north of Guangfu City, Lingnan County. Jiang Xiaobai originally intended to be slower, so as not to make Mu Xiaoshuang overtired from riding a horse, but who knew that after Mu Xiaoshuang left the city, he rode his horse and whipped all the way, but Jiang Xiaobai fell behind.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh, in the end, it was a good horse in Zhangfu, and it was very different from the horses used to kill guests in tourist attractions in his previous life, and his foot strength was really not bad. Looking at Mu Xiaoshuang rhythmically on the horseback, clinging to the horse's back, he didn't look scared at all, but there was a happy laugh from time to time. Jiang Xiaobai knew that he was too worried, so he also stepped up his horse steps and followed Mu Xiaoshuang closely.
It was still early when they first left the city, but Jiang Xiaobai and the others rode their horses and whips for two hours, and it was already noon, the sun was shining in the sky, and the two were running on the road. Jiang Xiaobai was also a little tired at this time, but he still cheered up and said to Mu Xiaoshuang: "Did Miss Mu see the people queuing up in front of Zhang's Mansion?" ”
Mu Xiaoshuang already felt tired, and when he heard Jiang Xiaobai ask for no reason, he was angry, and said coldly: "Whoever wants to see it, they will line up to the ends of the earth, and they won't see me." ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, touched his nose, slapped a horsewhip on the horse's buttocks, and waited for the horse to run forward and face Mu Xiaoshuang, and then said: "But Jiang is fortunate to wait for the end of the world." ”
Mu Xiaoshuang was stunned, then reacted, blushed, and said, "Don't be ashamed." ”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed louder and said, "It's my honor to be able to wait for Miss Mu." ”
……
The two talked and laughed all the way, and the time of the day was not too sad, and by the time the sun was setting in the west, the two of them were almost at the foot of Wanshi Mountain. Seeing that it was about to get dark, Jiang Xiaobai was worried: "In this mountainous and wild suburb, there is no one to spend the night, I am afraid that Miss Mu will be wronged." ”
Mu Xiaoshuang smiled slyly and said, "It's you who want to be wronged, and Miss Ben has her own arrangements." ”
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he was no longer worried, since Mu Xiaoshuang didn't care, what was he afraid of.
In the blink of an eye, we have arrived at the foot of Wanshi Mountain. As the name suggests, Wanshi Mountain is steep, half of the vegetation can only grow on the top of the mountain, halfway down the mountainside, it is a sharp and steep mountain rock cliff, not to say that it is difficult for ordinary people to climb, even the birds do not dare to stay too much.
Although the mountain is steep, the road up the mountain is not narrow, and the two of them can still pass it, but at this time, Jiang Xiaobai and the others made a difficult mistake at the foot of the mountain. It turned out that there were many rocks in Wanshi Mountain, and a big stone didn't know if it couldn't withstand the rain and wind, and fell down from the mountain, just blocking the mountain road to the top of the mountain, and Wanshi Mountain was located in the wilderness, so it was sparsely populated and the news was not clear, and Jiang Xiaobai and the others couldn't come up with a way for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
Just when the two of them were in a dilemma, there was a sudden sound in Mu Xiaoshuang's abdomen, although the sound was not loud, but the place was extremely empty, and this sound fell on the ears of the two like thunder. Mu Xiaoshuang's face instantly turned as red as the sun, and he secretly felt bitter, just afraid that Jiang Xiaobai would laugh at him again.
Jiang Xiaobai naturally heard it, and wanted to go to the baggage to find out if there was any food that could satisfy his hunger, but he found that he only counted the dry food for the journey, and did not prepare more for emergency purposes. Mu Xiaoshuang saw Jiang Xiaobai looking for a burden, his face turned a little red, and he said stiffly: "I'm not hungry, I just came all the way, and I was affected by the wind and dust, and the wind was blowing in my stomach." After speaking, he stomped his feet and said, "Hey, I said you can't think of a way, are we just spending time here?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai felt a pang in his heart and said, "Miss Mu, there is a way, but it's just ......."
Mu Xiaoshuang hurriedly said: "Just what?" ”
"It's just that I may have to be wronged by Miss Mu." Jiang Xiaobai paused, and then continued: "Although the road here is blocked by mountain stones, as long as you turn over this stone, there will be a flat avenue behind. Now it's not impossible to turn over the stones, but Miss Mu is a girl's house, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn over. Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaobai was stunned again, swallowed his saliva and said, "So I want me to turn over first, and then find a vine, so that Miss Mu can use the vine to turn over." ”
Mu Xiaoshuang hurriedly said, "Then don't go quickly." But as soon as the words were finished, Mu Xiaoshuang's mind turned and he understood why Jiang Xiaobai was so embarrassed, it was already dark at this time, if Jiang Xiaobai left, he would be the only one here, the black light was blind and the fire was in the wilderness, how could he not be afraid of a girl's family, thinking of this, Mu Xiaoshuang was also a little embarrassed, but the words had already been said, and he couldn't take it back, so he had to whisper again: "You have to hurry, otherwise...... Otherwise, I'll think of a way! ”
Jiang Xiaobai was secretly amused, but there was no other way, after comforting Mu Xiaoshuang softly, he quickly climbed towards the mountain rock, although the mountain rock was smooth, but Jiang Xiaobai had rich experience in survival in the wild in his previous life, and it was just a piece of cake to deal with these, I saw Jiang Xiaobai's figure jump a few times, and he had already turned over the mountain rock.
Mu Xiaoshuang was a little relieved when he saw Jiang Xiaobai turning over the mountain rocks, but when he raised his eyes again, he could no longer see Jiang Xiaobai's figure, and there was only boundless darkness around him, so Mu Xiaoshuang was even more scared......
The half-curved crescent moon was swept by the black clouds, and the moonlight was a little brighter, but Mu Xiaoshuang at this time had no idea of appreciating the night view, just thinking that Jiang Xiaobai would come back soon. In his anxiety, Mu Xiaoshuang couldn't help but pacing back and forth in front of the rocks blocking the way, like a little old man full of worries. Just when Mu Xiaoshuang was pacing back and forth for the thirtieth time, he suddenly heard the sound of leaves shaking, and the sound became louder and louder, obviously coming towards Mu Xiaoshuang's position. Mu Xiaoshuang heard this voice, and his heart was even more nervous, and his heartbeat missed a beat. But Mu Xiaoshuang has something special after all, he forced himself to press the uneasiness in his heart, carefully identified the source of the voice, and learned that it was not the other side where Jiang Xiaobai was behind him, so he clinged to the mountain rocks, looked at it, and planned to protect himself.
Silence, silence, even the two horses were silent and fell asleep peacefully. Seeing that the voice had disappeared, Mu Xiaoshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to let down his guard, when suddenly the horse woke up and let out a violent roar, Mu Xiaoshuang was frightened by this, and couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Jiang Xiaobai, where are you dying?!" ”
said that it was too late, and when Mu Xiaoshuang hugged his head and shouted, a figure fell from the sky and quickly stood in front of Mu Xiaoshuang, and couldn't help but tie a vine to Mu Xiaoshuang's waist, hold it with both hands, and say, "You go up first, it's safe above." ”
Mu Xiaoshuang hadn't reacted yet, but when he heard Jiang Xiaobai's voice, his heart settled down a lot, so he climbed up along the vine that Jiang Xiaobai had taken down, and after climbing less than two steps, he remembered something, turned around and scolded Jiang Xiaobai: "You let go, I can do it myself." ”
Jiang Xiaobai was noncommittal, and when Mu Xiaoshuang stood firmly on the stone wall, he slowly let go of his hand. After letting go, I didn't forget to reminisce about the touch just now, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's so soft." Just after saying this, a small shoe suddenly fell off and smashed right on Jiang Xiaobai's face.
"Phew, pick up my shoes." Mu Xiaoshuang's voice was ashamed and annoyed from above. Jiang Xiaobai smiled again, said no more, and after Mu Xiaoshuang climbed to the top of the stone, he took Mu Xiaoshuang's shoes and climbed up the vine.
After bypassing the rocks blocking the road, the two of them made a detour along the mountain road, and finally saw a few sparse houses on the belly of the mountain.
Mu Xiaoshuangyu stretched out his fingers, pointed to one of the households and said happily: "Look! That's where the old gentleman lives."
Jiang Xiaobai saw that although Mu Xiaoshuang was exhausted, but a pair of beautiful eyes were full of joy, thinking of all the things along the way, he knew more about the pretty little girl in front of him, and said softly: "It is worthy of being the second lady of the Zhang family, I still underestimated you before... By the way, why do they all call you the second lady?"
"Because there are also Brother Zhongyun and Sister Yueqing, the two of them are the eldest son and the eldest lady"
"Zhongyun? Moonlight? "I haven't heard of these two people in Guangfu City before, Jiang Xiaobai said puzzledly: "I haven't heard of the two you said."
"They are all in Kyoto, not in Guangfu" Mu Xiaoshuang was already a little tired, and said urgently, "Let's go!" I'm dying of hunger."
Listening to Mu Xiaoshuang's tone, these two should be Zhang Jilin's children, and they should be older than Mu Xiaoshuang. "In Kyoto...", Jiang Xiaobai silently wrote down the names of the two in his heart, it seems that Zhang Jilin can achieve the status of making the county guard polite and give three points in Guangfu City, and it should have some relationship in the Kyoto court, and the Zhang Mansion he knows is just the tip of the iceberg.
Mu Xiaoshuang had been here before, and Ruth found the old man's resting place with a light car, and after knocking on the door to inform the old man, the old man immediately opened the door to greet him and prepared food for the two. Although Mu Xiaoshuang secretly regretted that he was not prepared and was frightened, he felt a trace of sweetness in his heart when he thought of Jiang Xiaobai's figure falling from the sky.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, and rested for a while, Jiang Xiaobai explained his intention to the old pharmacist, hoping that the old man could go out of the mountain to help his father treat his illness. The old gentleman didn't shirk it, he just said that it was a good thing to cure the sick and save people, so why not. Seeing that the old gentleman was so kind, Jiang Xiaobai's heart warmed, and he chatted with the old gentleman again, talking about some irrelevant things.
On the contrary, Mu Xiaoshuang was quite tired and frightened today, but at this time he calmed down, and his sleepiness could no longer be stopped, and he said to the old gentleman: "Grandpa, I'm so sleepy, you hurry up and prepare to let me go to sleep." ”
The old gentleman smiled: "Yes, yes, it was the old man who was negligent, I will prepare now to ensure that Xiaoshuang can sleep well." The old gentleman got up and was about to clean up, but when he remembered something, he turned back and asked: "Xiaoshuang, I only have one room here, and you two ......" Mu Xiaoshuang smiled when he heard this: "Of course I know that grandpa you only have one guest room here, grandpa, you just go and clean up and let him sleep in your hall." As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Xiaobai with a slight smile.
When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much, only urging the old gentleman to clean up, saying that he had nothing to do with it.
Although the old gentleman couldn't bear it, he didn't say anything more and was ready to go. After a while, the old gentleman came back, told Mu Xiaoshuang that it had been done, and apologized to Jiang Xiaobai, so he took Mu Xiaoshuang to the guest room, leaving Jiang Xiaobai in the living room.
Mu Xiaoshuang followed the old gentleman to the guest room, washed up a little, and then fell asleep, looking really tired. But after only sleeping for a while, Mu Xiaoshuang woke up, it turned out that the old gentleman's guest room was not occupied all year round, but it became a nest of rats. Not long after Mu Xiaoshuang fell asleep, he woke up when he heard the cry of the mouse.
Mu Xiaoshuang has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never seen a few rats, and when he heard the voices of several rats, he was even more afraid. Mu Xiaoshuang didn't think much about it, hurriedly got up and ran towards the living room. At this time, the lights in the living room had been turned off, and when Mu Xiaoshuang rushed in, Jiang Xiaobai was sleeping on the table. Hearing someone coming in, Jiang Xiaobai also woke up, and saw that it was Mu Xiaoshuang through the moonlight, Jiang Xiaobai relieved his heart and asked, "Is there anything else Miss Mu doing?" It's not too early, so let's rest first. ”
When Mu Xiaoshuang saw Jiang Xiaobai, he puffed up his breath and said, "You go to my room to sleep." The words were normal at first, but by the last few words they were so thin that they were almost inaudible. Jiang Xiaobai heard it clearly, but he didn't know why for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, but Mu Xiaoshuang added: "I...... I'm afraid you'll freeze here and go back and speak ill of me. ”
Seeing Mu Xiaoshuang's reaction like this, Jiang Xiaobai knew that she was going to have something wrong with her, and wanted to save the scene by herself, so she didn't refuse, followed Mu Xiaoshuang to the guest room, found a more comfortable corner and lay down.
It is also strange to say that after Jiang Xiaobai arrived in the guest room, the mouse was silent, which made Mu Xiaoshuang feel a lot more relieved. But without the sound of rats, Mu Xiaoshuang had more difficulty falling asleep. Not for anything else, just because Mu Xiaoshuang thought that he was sleeping in the same room with Jiang Xiaobai at this time.
