Chapter 26: Qinzhou Trip (1)
The two men and two horses galloped through the territory of Baoding Mansion.
Originally, after Lu Rong and Wu carried the two of them out of Lushan, Lu Rong was unwilling to go back to Anxin County first, and the empty house and the nowhere to be found Uncle De and the old man of the Li family finally let him overturn the luck in his heart.
Lu Rong, who was in a hurry and couldn't wait to fly to Qinzhou, thought about it all the way, and couldn't believe what Wang Xuance said, he was a little soldier and a leprosy, but he was a royal bloodline.
It's just that Wang Xuance's categorical and stern dignity of the teacher told him that all this was true.
Every time he thought of this, Lu Rong felt that his fate was so ridiculous.
The only consolation for Lu Rong was Mr. Wang's words, after the pear knocked himself unconscious that day, he killed several barbarians to distract the barbarians, and finally was seriously injured and rescued by the Xuansoap army who came to the rescue.
Although he learned that Pear was actually a dead soldier and was deliberately arranged to his side, Lu Rong believed that the two had grown up together since childhood, regardless of their friendship, which must be true.
On this trip to Qinzhou, Fan Jiang really didn't go on the road with Lu Rong. Although his heart was full of disappointment, he also knew that he was not qualified to ask Fan Jiang for more.
This gentle, kind but extraordinary girl has no relationship with Lu Rong, and it is already a great fate to meet in the vast sea of people.
It's just that Fan Jiang's faint eyes and gentle smile appear in Lu Rong's mind from time to time.
And the black pendant that dangled slightly from her white ankle.
Wu Bei, a disciple of Wang Xuance, said little along the way, and seemed to have a lot of things on his mind, plus Lu Rong was also full of entanglements and had long lost his leisure, and the two walked forward in silence, although the two of them were two horses, they were alone.
It is now deep winter, and the year is approaching, and there has not been a trace of snowflakes in this devastated land of Youzhou, and the eyes are full of dull dark tones, without a trace of life.
Lu Rong felt that everything was terrible.
Walk to Lingshou County, has been close to Taiyuan Mansion, there is a river in the distance, has long been frozen, there is a thatched hut on the shallows on the bank of the river, looking lonely, not far from the thatched hut there are two people on the glacier are busy with something.
Lu Rong rode over, and when he got closer, it was a middle-aged woman and a half-old child, Wu Bei said lightly: "Lingshou redtail fish is famous far and wide, and it is better to steam it at this time, these two people seem to be fishing." ”
Lu Rong nodded slightly, remembering that when he was a child, he often used to catch fish with pears in Baiyang Lake, and he felt something in his heart and wanted to go over and have a look.
At the side of the stall, the two turned over and dismounted, Lu Rong saw that the glacier did not seem to be frozen, and he could faintly hear the sound of the water bubbling, frowned, stepped lightly on the glacier, and walked towards the two.
Wu Bei hesitated a little and wanted to stop Lu Rong, but in the end he didn't speak, just stayed on the shore and waited patiently.
The river was not wide, and Lu Rong walked to the center of the river after a while, and saw that the middle-aged woman was carefully drilling holes in the ice with an ice pick, and the child was far away from arranging the fishing rod and bait.
The cold wind is biting, especially on the river surface, and there will be fine ice ballast, which makes it even more difficult.
The woman also saw Lu Rongxing coming, and was a little anxious, and said, "Ouch, how can this son come up here, this river is not frozen yet, it's dangerous." ”
The kid also stopped his movements and looked at Lu Rong curiously.
Lu Rong said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Seeing that Lu Rong's footsteps didn't stop, the woman panicked even more, stopped what she was doing and hurriedly said, "Son, don't come here, I'm afraid that the ice under my feet won't be able to withstand it!" ”
Lu Rong couldn't help but stop and said, "This eldest sister, aren't you afraid?" ”
The woman was in her thirties, her face was full of wind and frost, she looked at Lu Rong and said, "Hey, I've long been used to it, unlike you who don't know the temper of this river, if you accidentally fall into the ice cave, your life will be gone." ”
The woman picked up the ice pick again, got busy, and continued, "Childe wants to eat fish?" Just wait for me at the shed. It will take a while before this fish can be caught. ”
Lu Rong was a little absent-minded, and said lightly: "I don't want to eat fish, I just saw you fishing here, I felt kind, and I wanted to come and have a look." ”
The woman smiled and said, "What's so nice about this." Childe is not a local? ”
Lu Rong snorted, and didn't say much, seeing that the thin ice had been drilled through, the woman carefully took out the ice pick, and slowly took a few steps back.
On the other hand, the child still looked at Lu Rong secretly, and was reprimanded by the woman before he came back to his senses and slid the fishing rod that had been hooked on the bait and the fishing rod to the woman.
The woman took the rod and slowly crouched down and sat down on the ice, moving her hands slowly to the ice cave and dropping the line into the water.
Lu Rong asked softly, "Fishing and eating by yourself?" ”
The woman looked up at Lu Rong, as if she was a little surprised, fleeting. He smiled apologetically, didn't speak, and just waved his hand. Lu Rong knew that women were afraid of words scaring the fish underwater, and it was not easy to bite the hook.
The kid next to him said, "Sell." ”
Seeing Lu Rong turn to look at him, the kid lowered his head again and was busy with the things in his hands.
Lu Rong thought it was funny, and couldn't help but smile and tease the child: "Are you afraid of me? ”
The boy whispered, "Don't be afraid. ”
Lu Rong smiled: "Then why don't you dare to look at me." ”
The boy blushed, afraid to speak, and the fishing line in his hand was a mess.
The woman smiled and said softly, "Don't mind, son, my son is timid and afraid of life." ”
Lu Rong smiled silently, although this child is afraid of life, he is tiger-headed, and his eyes are full of cleverness.
At this time, two carriages stopped on the shore, and three young men came down from the carriage, leading several domestic servants, and the three men were wearing pale white felt robes, and their expressions were calm, and they looked like children of rich families.
A coachman jumped off the embankment, walked to the shed, looked first at the water, then at this side, and cried out, "Where are the fish?" ”
The woman snorted at the child and said softly, "Baby." The boy put down the fishing rod in his hand, put his hand around his mouth, and shouted vigorously: "No, it's almost there!" ”
The groom didn't say anything, turned around and replied to the three men, then returned to the carriage, and after a while brought down the felt blankets, wine glasses, utensils, stoves, chopsticks, and other things, and spread them in the shed.
The three men seemed to be in a good mood, and did not enter the shed, but only walked by the river, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter.
The woman was very fast, and in a short time she caught a red-tailed fish, about half an inch, and wagged her tail very powerfully.
Disappointed, the woman took off her hook and gave the child the fish she had caught, and the child, who was so dexterous that he held on to it, and ran to the shed by the river, despite the whipping of the fish's tail.
Lu Rong saw that he had caught a fish, and he was very happy, and he couldn't help but smile a little, seeing that the child was running on the ice, he instructed for no reason: "Slow down." ”
The woman kept her hands in her hands, continued to smooth the fishing line, and also scolded: "The baby looked at the ice, and fell into the river to freeze to death for your little cub." Although he said it, his eyes were full of spoiling, and he smiled at Lu Rong instead: "Childe, why don't you go back to the shed and wait first, wait for me to catch a few more, and Childe can taste our famous redtail fish." ”
Seeing the mother and son like this, Lu Rong was also a little moved in his heart, nodded slightly, and turned back to the shore.
