Brother G's tip. )
Before noon, Wang Yuan followed Princess A Luo to dig a few summer bamboo shoots in the grove at the edge of the clearing, and on the way back, he passed by the small vegetable furrow and picked the young shoots of thistle, and then Wang Yuan went to the small lake to carry a few buckets of water back, and A Luo began to wash vegetables and rice for cooking.
Lunch was very simple, fried bamboo shoots and scalded thistle sprouts, plus a small plate of dried wild vegetables, Wang Yuan ate very sweet, ate two large bowls of rice in one go, and was satisfied. Princess A Luo was also very happy, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she took a mattress and a small bamboo pillow to Wang Yuan and asked him to take a nap. Wang Yuan said that he didn't need to take a nap, and Ah Luo didn't insist, so he went up to the second floor of the small bamboo building by himself.
Wang Yuan moved a small bench and sat under the wooden corridor in front of the small bamboo building, blowing the breeze and looking at the beautiful scenery around him, watching the white clouds and the blue water of the lake, and his mood was unusually calm and peaceful. I have to say that life here is bitter and boring, but the scenery here is really beautiful. If you are a cultivator who has nothing to do with the world, you will definitely like to live here very much and live your whole life. It's a pity that I'm not that kind of person.
There were fish jumping out of the water in the Moon Lake not far in front of the small bamboo building, which attracted Wang Yuan's attention. Although the lunch meal was delicious, it was a vegetarian dish after all. Wang Yuan's stomach nourished by wine and meat occasionally feels delicious when he eats a vegetarian dish, but when he thinks of eating vegetarian dishes every day, Wang Yuan's scalp is numb. There is nothing to do, since there are fish in this lake, why not catch some and let Princess Arlo have some fish to eat. She didn't think she would be able to catch any fish out of the lake.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan immediately took action, braved the scorching sun, came to the bamboo forest to cut a few bamboos, dragged them to the side of the lake and began to make tools. First, make a harpoon, a long bamboo pole of uniform thickness is cut into six plum blossom shapes on the head, sharpened and squeezed into the gap with small bamboo strips, and then tightly tied with twine, this is a beautiful harpoon. Then Wang Yuan used a bamboo knife to split a long pile of bamboo pieces, and quickly woven a bamboo basket with vines and bamboo pieces, and put on a grass rope and hung it around his waist.
Princess Aluo on the bamboo floor didn't take a break, she had been secretly watching Wang Yuan's movements upstairs, seeing that Wang Yuan was chopping bamboo again, and she was busy making things, and she didn't know what Wang Yuan was going to do. Standing on the second floor and shouting down, "What are you going to do?" ”
Wang Yuan raised his head and smiled: "I'll go to the lake to catch a few fish, and we'll cook and eat them at night." Are you coming? ”
Princess Arlo said, "I can't swim again." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "You are responsible for driving the boat to follow me and catch the fish." ”
Ah Luo happily ran downstairs, and Wang Yuan carried the harpoon and carried the fish basket on the boat, Ah Luo rowed the oar, rowed the boat to the deepest part of the lake, Wang Yuan said: "This is it, the sun is very strong, the fish like the water is deeper, you stabilize the boat, I am going to go into the water." ”
Ah Luo quietly held the boat, but saw Wang Yuan start to undress quickly, revealing his slender and strong muscles. Ah Luo blushed with shame and said, "What are you doing." Before he could say anything, he saw a 'poof' on the king's feet, like a shuttle dart, plunged into the water, and there was a burst of blisters. Ah Luo screamed in surprise and covered her face with her hands, but she was still splashed by the splashing cool droplets, and stomped her feet to look into the water while wiping the droplets.
There was no trace of Wang Yuan's figure, and at first he could see a black shadow swimming in the water, and after a while, he couldn't see anything. The surface of the water also became calm, and even the blisters were gone. Ah Luo sat on the boat, looking directly at the water, anxiously searching for Wang Yuan's figure. But as time passed, Ah Luo was a little flustered, it was too long, could it be that Wang Yuan couldn't come up?
"Where are you? Where are you? Arlo began to scream, and the voice echoed across the lake, and no one answered but echo.
"Don't scare me, where are you." There was a cry in Ah Luo's shouting.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the lake where the boat was located, and Wang Yuan popped up like a dolphin jumping out of the sea, wiping the water droplets on his face while holding his harpoon high. On the harpoon, a large white fish about a foot long was writhing and jumping.
"Hahaha, what a fat fish. Isn't it tyrannical that you live by this lake, sitting on a lake full of fish, but eating vegetarian vegetables and light rice every day? Wang Yuan laughed and shouted.
A Luo's heart finally fell, rowed a small boat closer, and asked Wang Yuan to throw the jumping fish into the fish basket, and said with disgust in his mouth: "I didn't come up for a long time, I thought you wouldn't be able to come up." ”
Wang Yuan held on to the side of the boat and shook his long wet hair and smiled: "You think you will be a widow, do you?" Yes, you can be a widow and be free. ”
A Luo chirped: "Bah, I don't know the hearts of good people, I just care about you, but you think so badly." ”
Wang Yuan laughed, lay on the side of the boat and gasped for a few moments, and then submerged in the water again, Ah Luo also knew that Wang Yuan's water was good, but he no longer worried about him. Soon after, Wang Yuan resurfaced, and another big white fish was hit by a harpoon and jumped on the harpoon.
"It's a big one, it's even fatter than the one just now." Arlo exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Yuan smiled and swam over to put the fish into the basket, and Ah Luo smiled: "I knew that the fish were so easy to catch, and I also learned to swim and catch fish and eat them." ”
Wang Yuan was dumbfounded: "Easy to catch? The fish in this lake are more shrewd than ghosts, and I swam after them for a long time before I hit them. And the lake water below is biting cold, which is uncomfortable. ”
Ah Luo was stunned and hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Moon Lake is formed by melting the snow on the top of the mountain, even in summer, it is freezing and biting, you hurry up and take it, don't freeze your body." ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I understand how to care about people, yes, I added another point." But I have to catch another one, three days, one fish a day, I don't want to eat scalded thistle sprouts every day. However, I was going to teach you how to swim and catch fish, but now I'm afraid it won't work, the fish are not easy to catch, and the lake is too cold, so I think it's better to teach you how to fish in a basket. ”
After catching the third fish, Wang Yuan dragged his wet body and climbed onto the boat, Ah Luo took a cloth towel to wipe the cold water on Wang Yuan's body, and dried Wang Yuan's scattered wet long hair on his long skirt, and the two turned the bow of the boat back to the shore.
The three big white fish were hollowed out, sprinkled with salt, hung up and dried, Wang Yuan also changed his clothes and called Ah Luo to come to the lake, taught her to make a fish basket that sank into the lake to catch fish, and taught her how to fish. The afternoon passed quickly. Before the sun set, Wang Yuan carried water and watered the flowers, fruits and vegetables planted by Ah Luo on the left side of the bamboo building.
In the evening, there was a big fat white fish on the dinner table. The fish in this lake are very delicious, there are no condiments such as chicken essence and monosodium glutamate these years, only some simple condiments such as pepper and salt, but the fish soup is still delicious, the two of them eat all the fish and drink the fish soup and still smack their tongues and smile at each other.
After dinner, the two spread bamboo mats by the lake and sat in the moonlight to chat. A Luo gave Wang Yuan the legend of the Nanzhao Kingdom and the mountain spirit in the woods. The legend of the water monster, Wang Yuan told Ah Luo something that Ah Luo had never heard of. The two were just talking and laughing, but they both deliberately avoided the topic between the two, and even avoided too much collision in their eyes.
Although on this moonlit night, a pair of young men and women were very tempting to each other, but both of them deliberately restrained these first shifts, Wang Yuan finally closed his eyes in a daze and fell asleep in Ah Luoxu's words. Ah Luo sat aside, stared at Wang Yuan's face for a long time, sighed lightly, picked up the thin quilt and covered Wang Yuan, and went upstairs alone. This night, the lights on the second floor were on for a long time, and they were not extinguished until the third watch.
Early the next morning, Ah Luo brought Wang Yuan a set of clothes, which were the kind of clothes often worn by the young people of Nanzhao, with a hat wrapped around his head, sleeveless shoulders, and short cropped pants. Wang Yuan did not shirk, changed into this set of clothes and pants, and suddenly turned into an ordinary little brother of Nanzhao Kingdom.
This is a new set of clothes that A Luo made for Wang Yuan last night, the women of Nanzhao are good at dyeing and making clothes, and often the clothes of all members of the family are sewn by the housewives themselves. The first time A Luo sewed clothes for someone, although the fabric used was his own flower cloth, Wang Yuan was nondescript after wearing it, but Wang Yuan didn't feel weird at all, but praised it for a long time.
This day is also very ordinary, picking vegetables, picking fruits, digging bamboo shoots, watering flowers, and fishing. Telling stories to each other in the moonlight at night could not be more bland. One of the two was wearing a simple floral skirt, and the other was wearing a simple shoulder, looking like an ordinary couple of mountain people in Nanzhao, living the most ordinary days. Anyone who doesn't know will probably not think that one of these two people is the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, and the other is the Jiedu envoy of the Southern Dao of the Tang Dynasty.
The next day passed, and in the past two days, no one came to disturb these two people, and Ge Luofeng seemed to have deliberately not disturbed Wang Yuan and Princess A Luo, and he never sent anyone to check. And although Wang Yuan's guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, they were helpless.
The third day was equally dull, the two of them finished what they had to do during the day, when the sun was setting and the moon was rising, Wang Yuan took off the clothes, changed into the long gown he was wearing when he came, left Princess A Luo who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and walked to the Moon Lake alone.
Next to the lake, a cool breeze blows, making people feel comfortable and comfortable. The rainbow on the horizon has not yet completely subsided, and the full moon in the east has climbed to the top of the mountain. Today is the fifteenth day of June, it is the night of the full moon, and the three days that Wang Yuan has been here have been full for a while.
The footsteps on the wooden plank road behind her were gentle, and Princess A Luo also walked gently to Wang Yuan's side after packing up the dishes and chopsticks, with her hair pulled up high, revealing a slender and elegant neck, and a long skirt of floral cloth was slender and fitted, which set off her more and more upright and elegant posture.
"You...... Are you leaving? In silence, Ah Luo said softly.
Wang Yuan sighed and nodded: "Yes, it's been three days, this is already my most free three days, I have to go." There's a lot of work to do, and I can't stay here anymore. ”
The two were speechless for a while, silent, but they heard the evening wind whistling, the sound of flowing waterfalls, the chirping of summer insects, and Lin Tao echoed in the sky and earth like a tide.
