"Slave and maid send off master!" The maidservant Ah Yun tried to hold back the smile in her stomach and sent the two to the felt bag. The tribe suddenly changed greatly, and her identity suddenly changed from the granddaughter of the clan elder and the pearl of everyone's care to someone else's slave girl, which made Ah Yun's heart numb. After seeing the ignorant appearance of the two young people in love, I saw some light in my dead heart.

"Do you try to teach your master how to guess a woman's mind, or don't you teach it?" Looking at the backs of Li Xu and Tao Kuo, Ah Yun thought with a smile.

The felt bag is really tied to two peach blossoms that do not have half a stray hair on their bodies. Each horse was fitted with a freshly painted saddle, tin-plated stirrups, and a head and tail swing, and was unusually handsome.

couldn't help but say, Tao Kuo pushed Li Xu on horseback, himself? He mounted another horse and whipped his whip and galloped out into the wilderness outside the tribe. Li Xu saw that the other party's face was full of mystery, thinking that she was going to find a secluded place to talk about the two of them, so he hurriedly followed him.

At this time, the grassland is in full bloom in spring, and the red, yellow, purple, and blue flowers are full of eyes. The horses' hooves stepped on the brocade-like field, and the spring breeze still carried the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and the scenery between heaven and earth was not refreshing. Against the backdrop of the blue sky like a washed water, the pastoral song faintly floating on the grass tip, before they knew it, the two of them were already fascinated by it, and they seemed to have forgotten what they wanted to say.

"Tao Kuotuo, I, I have something to say to you!" Li Xu enjoyed the scenery on the grassland for a while, and finally mustered up the courage and said in a slurred voice. The sound of the horse's hooves was small, and his voice was too small to provoke the slightest reaction from the other party.

"Tao, Tao Kuo desilk, you slow down, I have, I have words!" Li Xu knew that Tao Kuotuosi didn't hear his words, and was about to repeat it in a louder voice, but the girl on horseback turned her head sideways and shouted at Li Xu: "Hurry up, you have to rush to Crescent Lake before noon!" ”

"Then let's go to the lake!" Li Xu muttered in his heart, riding the horse tightly? Above. After the Xi tribe was wiped out, the grasslands in this area were all occupied by the Xia tribes, so no matter how far you run, you don't have to worry about the danger of the two. Besides, being able to gallop in the field side by side with Tao Kuo, Li Xu felt very happy in his heart. Unconsciously I hope that this kind of riding the wind can be a little longer, a little longer, until I get tired of it.

The spring breeze is proud, and although the Crescent Moon Lake is far away from Su Sibu, it is a flash for two young people in love. Tao Kuo took off the reins, walked around the lake side by side with Li Xu for half a circle, found the bluest looking shore of the lake and jumped off the horse.

"Tao Kuo......" Li Xu shouted as he dismounted. Since she came out early in the morning, the expression on the face of the savage girl has been dense, and she doesn't even talk as much as usual. This abnormal state made Li Xu feel up and down in his heart, not only afraid that the other party would make something strange according to the customs of the people, but also looking forward to what could happen in the wilderness in spring.

"Shh Tao Kuo made a silent gesture to stop Li Xu from being wordy. He took a sack of burlap from his horse and pulled it upside down, but what came out was a new copper charcoal basin and a small half-bag of refined charcoal.

"Ignition!" Looking at Li Xu, who was puzzled, Tao Kuo gave a low order.

"Hmm!" Li Xu indifferently blew the fire, and his whole heart became a mess. There is a sentence in the Book of Poetry where men and women meet in the wild, build nests and live. But after reading the book for more than ten years, Li Xu has already regarded those sentences as a support for his words. The girl in front of her is like a flower, the charcoal fire is like wine, and the spring is boundless in the four fields. If Tao Kuo detaches at this time, what abnormal behavior will there be? Li Xu felt a burning desire in his heart slowly rising.

Sure enough, when the flame in the charcoal basin began to turn blue, the girl cried out with a red face, "You, you turn around!" “

"Ahhh Li Xu's jaw almost fell to the ground, and he hurriedly turned around. Listening to the sound of the rubbing of clothes behind him, he stammered and explained: "Tao, Tao Kuo Silk, you, you are good to me, I, I actually understand in my heart!" I, myself, like you very, very much......."

"Attached brother, I know you like me, otherwise, I wouldn't have the cheekiness to pester you again and again!" The girl's voice came from behind, suddenly with a little shame.

"Snow, snow melts, caravan ....." I don't know if it's because the charcoal fire is too hot, or if it's too nervous. Li Xu was sweating profusely and said with a breath. He wanted to tell Tao Kuo to take silk that when the next caravan came, he would ask Uncle Nine to bring a letter to his parents. After revealing his feelings with Tokotos. In this way, it is estimated that the next time the caravan comes, he can marry Tao Kuo and go through the door. In the past few days in the Xiabu, he has saved a lot of livestock and wealth, plus the part that Su Sixier gave him, and the part that he couldn't give away was enough for Tao Kuotuosi to leave the killing Xibu with him, and find a quiet place to live this life without worrying about food and clothing.

Although these ideas were good, Li Xu's mouth was not as neat as his brain, and he had time to finish saying that the caravan would arrive soon, but there was a "plop" sound behind him.

"Tao Kuo desilk!" Li Xu didn't care about men and women anymore, and hurriedly turned back, but saw Tao Kuo making a grimace on the water, and a fierce man stabbed to the bottom.

"Tao ......!" Li Xu looked at the pile of hairpin ring chains placed on the stones, and recalled the pair of white feet that had just disappeared on the water, and he didn't realize that he was stupid again.

"The water of Crescent Lake has a temperature in all seasons, and it looks like white smoke in winter. In the summer, it can freeze people to death! The introduction of Ah Silan and others that day came to my ears again. Suddenly thinking of this layer, he suddenly lost his thoughts, ran to the charcoal basin, and desperately blew the fire with his mouth.

Just when his heart was on fire, a string of ripples suddenly appeared on the water. Tao Kuo's long white hair was the first to emerge from the lake, followed by a face that was frozen white and blue, looked at Li Xu with stupid eyes, and exclaimed movingly: "Fool, the charcoal is not blowing." I'll be right back, don't worry! ”

After saying that, the girl exhaled a long breath and disappeared into the depths of the pale blue waves.

When he was in the Central Plains, Li Xu only splashed a few times in the small river in front of Zhuangzi, the water quality was very poor, and his swimming skills were limited to dog planing, so no matter what Tao Kuotuosi was doing in the lake at the moment, he could only do it on the shore. Waiting, waiting, finally looking forward to Tao Kuotuosi showing his head on the water again, and quickly put his hand to the side of his mouth and loudly beckoned the other party to come ashore.

"Don't worry, I've swam in this lake many times!" The girl grimaced at Li Xu, lowered her head, and dived down again.

"It's cold in the water, be careful!" Li Xu shouted in vain at the ripples on the water, and began a new round of long waiting.

After waiting for half a pillar of incense, Tao Kuo took off the silk before he sighed out of the water again. His lips had turned blue-black, and his face had turned pale from the cold of the lake. But there was a real smile blooming on such a pale face, as if she had picked up some treasure, and the girl shouted at Li Xu with a smile: "Attached, attached, attached, attached, rope, rope!" ”

Li Xu was frightened by the frozen voice, thinking that the other party was playing in the water and had no way to swim back to the shore. Hurriedly looked back in the direction indicated by Tao Kuo, and on the backs of the two of them, sure enough, there was a large ball of rope hanging from each of them. He rushed over in three steps and two steps, untied one of them, and carried one end in his hand, while the other threw it at the girl.

"Stupid, stupid, knot two ropes together!" The girl cowered on the water, her upper and lower teeth clashing.

"Hey, hey, come up quickly!" Li Xu shouted distressedly. This time, I don't care about men and women, I just feel that I look at Tao Kuo with wide eyes? Come to the shore to be at ease.

"Quick, pick up the rope, it's cold in the water!" Tao Kuo desilk kept fluttering, trembling and shouting.

Li Xu couldn't help her, so he had to connect the two ropes into one and hold the end of the rope himself. Tao Kuo gave him a frozen smile, and took the other end of the rope and dived quickly again. Li Xu was shocked when he saw it, he didn't know what the weird girl wanted to do, he only hoped that this time was the last time to dive, and he didn't make any tricks. I don't know how long I waited, a stick of incense, or hundreds of years, until the arm holding the rope began to weaken, and the water suddenly flipped over, and the most beautiful face in the world finally poked out of the lake again.

"Pull!" Tao Kuo was so frozen that he couldn't speak, and while struggling to swim to the shore, he gestured and gestured.

Li Xu pulled the rope hard, at first he felt that his hand was empty, but later the rope was straight, and he felt as if there was a thousand pounds of weight tied to the other end of the rope, and he used all his strength to pull it to move.

Girlish? Go ashore, take a horse, and put the end of the rope around the horse's neck. Then he grabbed the reins and pulled the horse far from the shore. The war horse sighed and neighed, and the four kicks jumped straight, and the two of them worked together, and finally let the long rope be recycled inch by inch to the shore, one inch, two inches, and the footprints on the sand bank were strung together, and slowly leaned towards the charcoal basin. Suddenly, a huge wave rose on the surface of the water, and a black whirring object jumped out and was quickly dragged up the embankment by a rope.

"It's done, I know there must be one at the bottom of the lake!" Tao Kuo screamed and slowly fell to the grass.

Li Xu didn't bother to see what kind of treasure was tied to the other end of the rope, so he quickly jumped to the girl's side, untied his robe, and hugged the frozen Tao Kuo Silk in his arms. The girl's body shook and immediately became stiff, and then involuntarily began to tremble. The little clothes soaked in the lake scattered the chill into Li Xu's arms in waves, and what kept changing back was the firmness and warmth unique to the young man's body.

Li Xu hugged the ice-like Tao Kuo, and there was no trace of dust in his heart. Although Tao Kuo only wore a close-fitting coat when he went into the water, and the thin layer of clothes after being soaked in water could no longer cover any spring color, he did not dare to express any contempt. just hugged each other hard, lest as soon as he let go, the treasure given to him by God would turn into a spring dream and disperse. At this moment, he could see clearly the "treasure" tied at the other end of the long rope, which was a black stone more than two feet long and half a foot wide, with embroidered stains.
