Chapter 3: The Wilderness (4)

、、、、、、、

The family does not get tired of eating, which allows Xu Dayan to easily distinguish the good and bad food. In addition to wild onions, mushrooms and salt, there are no other seasonings in the boiled whole sheep, which is exactly what suits his appetite. He liked the taste of nature and nature, but he did not like the companions with whom he drank very much. In Xu Dayan's view, these vulgar, philistine, narrow-minded, and easily satisfied vendors are simply not worthy of the warm hospitality of their masters. No matter what delicacies you give him, when the two sides start trading, don't want them to loosen up the price a little bit. On the contrary, they would not hesitate to raise the price of goods according to the wealth of the tribe and the thirst for Central Plains materials such as tea, silk, and pottery.

However, the patriarch of the Su Si tribe did not feel that the behavior of the guests was unruly, and in his opinion, any behavior after drinking could be regarded as an expression of human nature. If a man has no need for a woman, he loses the motivation to become stronger. Therefore, just when Xu Dayan was ashamed of his companion's behavior, Su Sixier clapped his hands again.

The upbeat music came to an abrupt end. The musician drank a bowl of wine, tuned the strings, and replaced it with another soothing tune. A group of beauties of the Xia tribe slowly walked in and danced in front of the table. The silver bells on his arms and ankles swayed, and every gesture hooked countless souls.

It was already dark, and the young men of the tribe carried a huge brazier. Inside the brazier, the fine charcoal danced with a faint blue light. Li Xu was roasted by the fire very hot, and there seemed to be hot air surging up inside and outside his body. Among the women who danced, there were not the two girls who teased him and Xu Dayan, these people were older and more attractive than the girls who had just toasted. The dancing to the music seems to have a kind of charm, and it is difficult to take people's eyes off them.

And they were really wearing little clothes, no shoes and socks on their feet, and no wisps on their arms. The snow-white arms and bare calves slowly spread out in the music, like an epiphany in the midnight slowly blooming petals. Li Xu didn't know if he was right to describe it like this, and he didn't know if he was watching the song and dance intently like this, whether it was against his duty to be a scholar. Li Xu really didn't know much about the examples of the ancient sages interacting with women. In the drunken haze, he only heard the light songs of the people.

"My brother came on a white horse, holding a scimitar in one hand and a bluegrass in the other......" He couldn't hear the next sentence clearly, and his attainments in Turkic language were too far from Sun Jiu and others.

"I am willing to be a bouquet of wildflowers, only for you and scattered!" Before getting drunk, Li Xu vaguely heard these words. It was a real illusion, and he didn't figure it out many years later.

The people attached great importance to the caravans that came from afar, and made an exception to prepare a felt tent for each vendor. In a daze, Li Xu felt that he was being carried into a very warm tent. Someone at his feet put a brazier for him, and roasted him hot and thirsty. Opening his eyes, Li Xu wanted to take out the felt tent and find some well water to sober up. But he was surprised to find that there was a person sleeping next to him, and a body that was completely different from himself.

When he landed, the wine in Li Xu's heart was sobered up for the most part. With his eyes wide open, he looked again through the faint light of the charcoal fire, and found a young girl lying beside him. In contrast, the ancients said, "It is too long to increase one point, and it is too short to subtract one point; Shi Zhu is too red, and Fu Fan is too white. "It's really pale and vague.

This is the same girl who had teased him during the day, and let him go at the last moment. Li Xu felt that his scalp was exploding, and his whole body began to burn.

"Some tribes will let the women of the clan sleep for the guests." Before the trip north, my father used to joke about it. How to deal with it, but he has not been instructed. Maybe my father had never encountered such a situation, and just took it as a funny rumor. The father and son never expected that the legendary thing happened to Li Xu.

Li Xu hugged his arms tightly, didn't dare to close his eyes, didn't dare to move, his legs were tense like wood, stiff and straight. The charcoal fire in the tent became stronger and stronger, and waves of heat hit the feet, over the thighs, over the lower abdomen, over the chest, and over the top of the head.

At this moment, the sleeping girl suddenly turned over. The silver bell on his arm "jingled" and gently hung down on Li Xu's chest.

With a bang, Li Xu felt all the blood in his body rush to his head, exploding, and emitting countless golden stars. Big, small, pentagonal, cross, just like the moment when the bamboo bursts in the fire during the New Year, it is short, but it is gorgeous and colorful. He didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to move the girl's arm away, he only dared to lie there quietly, and even tried his best to control the rise and fall of his chest when he breathed.

Don't look at it, he told himself desperately in his heart. His gaze couldn't help but move slowly, sweeping over the top of the felt bag that was red by the flames, and slowly staring at the girl's face. It was a beautiful face, almost the most beautiful he had ever seen in the world. Delicate skin, long eyelashes, and a pair of delicate lips......

Li Xu looked at it, watched, just like looking at a precious piece of southern white porcelain, and didn't dare to touch it. lest the other party fall to the ground and be shattered if he touches it. I didn't dare to think about it, because the girl was so beautiful that it was hard to desecrate like a lotus flower. He could feel a hot and humid urge swelling in the depths of his soul, but he didn't know what he should do next.

I don't know how long it was, an hour? A hundred years? Or is it just a moment? In the end, Li Xu plucked up his courage again. He gently lifted the girl's arm with his hand and placed it under the blanket. Then, with the lightest, most subtle but extremely fast movements, he stood up and tiptoed out of the felt bag. It was too hot in the tent, and he needed a little cold wind to calm himself.

On the grassland, the stars are as big as heads. Watery starlight poured down from the nearby canopy, piercing his robes in an instant. The autumn wind howled in the wilderness, faintly mixed with the howls of wolves. This is the depths of the grassland, not his own home, Li Xu's mind is getting clearer and clearer.

The wine was blown away by the wind, and reason and feeling returned to his shell. He felt countless goosebumps on his arm grow rapidly, but he didn't have the courage to burrow into the felt tent again. Raising his eyes and looking into the distance, Li Xu saw that there were still fires in the several tents where the goods were placed. Maybe he should go there and take care of the cargo, and he finally found a good reason to run for his legs.

The tent curtain was gently opened, and the people inside heard footsteps from outside, and leaned out half of their bodies in alarm. It's Uncle Nine! Li Xu was very happy to see that broad shoulder. Regardless of the other party's surprised gaze, he broke into the tent, only to find that Xu Dayan and Hao Laodao were also here. There was also an iron pot on the ground, and the broth in the pot was bubbling hot.

"Woke up from Gentle Township so soon?" Xu Dayan saw Li Xu come out and asked mockingly.

"Me, me!" Li Xu didn't know what to say. He knew that his performance today was too bad, and he must have been classified by Xu Dayan as the same kind as Du Scar, Wang Mazi and others. But what did you do wrong? It seems that there is not a single thing to blame.

"You're not going to tell me you didn't do anything, are you?" Xu Dayan saw Li Xu's embarrassed appearance and asked with a frown. At the banquet, only he, Sun Jiu, and Hao Laodao persevered to the end. When he found that a woman had entered his companion's tent, he had read a lot of books, and Xu Dayan, who was sticking to the way of a gentleman, resolutely chose to accompany Uncle Nine to the vigil.

"Me?" Li Xu's face turned black and purple again. Things between men and women are too complicated and wonderful for a teenager in his early fourteens. He did nothing, but as a growing man, he didn't want to admit that he didn't know anything about it.

"You're still a chick?" This time, it was Hao Laodao's turn to go crazy. He jumped up, touched between Li Xu's legs, and then raised his head to the sky and let out a wolf-like howl: "My God! I thought that no one had practiced children's skills for a long time! With you, what does the caravan ask us swordsmen to do! ”

Li Xu was so ashamed that he was so hot that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill in. turned around and wanted to go out of the door, but was pulled back by Uncle Jiu: "Ignore them, sit by the fire and drink a bowl of sobering soup." It's too cold in this place, and standing outside overnight will definitely freeze out! ”

Li Xu couldn't break free, so he had to lean over and sit down next to Uncle Jiu. Xu Da saw that his face was full of embarrassment, but he was embarrassed, and forced the smile in his stomach to tilt his head away. Hao Laodao did not give up, his eyes swept Li Xu up and down, and he had to see what similarities and differences the muscles and bones of the people who practiced "Tongzigong" compared with others.

"Old knife, don't bully children. He is a scholar with a tender face! Uncle Nine stretched out his hand and pushed Hao Laodao, scolding with a smile.

"Reader, which scholar do you see who is the last one. Zi said, food, sex, sex, I want it, bear paws, I also want it! Hao Laodao was full of gibberish. He failed to study when he was young, so in addition to dancing with knives and sticks in his life, he took the most pleasure in distorting the words of the ancients.

"Then why don't Uncle Dao choose a tent to be happy, do you also practice children's skills?" Xu Dayan couldn't see Hao Laodao joking with the saint, so he jumped up to avenge the injustice of the patriarch.

"You think I don't want to, people think I'm ugly, don't drill into my tent!" Hao Laodao pretended to be stunned and said.

Everyone was amused by Hao Laodao's words, and the feeling of embarrassment faded. Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly looked at Hao Laodao, saw that the other party was no longer embarrassed by him, raised his head, and asked Sun Jiu: "Uncle Jiu, when will the banquet be dispersed, why do you keep vigil in person?" ”

"It's been less than half an hour since we dispersed, and everyone wanted to be merry and happy, so they had to let me, the old bone and the big-eyed gentleman, come to keep vigil. It's you kid, you drank three empty leather bags, everyone bet that you would be drunk until noon tomorrow, but I didn't expect to wake up so soon! Sun Jiu shook his head and replied with a smile.

I drank so much, Li Xu himself was a little surprised. He didn't remember anything other than singing and dancing in the second half of the banquet, and he never counted how many bowls of wine he drank casually. In my memory, I only felt that I was very drunk and comfortable, and I almost forgot all the unhappy things in the singing of the people.

"I think most of them were scared to wake up. Alas! Will the afterborn cubs be blessed and enjoyed? How! What a deal! Hao Laodao let out a series of long sighs sourly.

"He is not chaotic and has the style of the ancients!" Xu Dayan loudly defended his friend. After finishing speaking, I regretted it very much, talking to a rough person like Hao Laodao about Liu Xia Hui was simply a waste of knowledge.

"At a young age, I learned to be a hypocrite!" Hao Laodao compared the whiteness of Xu Dayan's eyeballs with Xu Dayan, and said with a sneer. Seeing that the other party refused to answer his own words, he continued: "Look at Du Scar, Wang Mazi and them, they haven't touched the wine much, waiting for this moment!" ”

Thinking about Wang Mazi's mouth full of big yellow teeth to hug the flower-like girl, Li Xu felt that his stomach and intestines were a little tumbling. frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Dao, everyone, everyone's tent is ......"
