Chapter 30: An Oasis in the Desert - The Nest Lake
Pearl was forced to lie in bed for several days, and Elder Yuan would take time out of his busy schedule to visit her every day, saying that it was a visit, but in fact it was to see if she was running around.
To be honest, Pearl was still a little afraid of Elder Yuan in her heart, and she didn't know why. Maybe he always has a straight face and doesn't smile! When he was angry, he blew his beard and stared, which was very unkind, and Pearl didn't know if the pleasant elder in Nanfeng's mouth was this, or how did he provoke him before? He is prejudiced against himself.
So with such a heart of awe, she also lay down obediently, and she didn't know what year it was, and every day Nanfeng came to bring her food on time and talked to her about some messy things in the clan.
Just as she was bored playing with her green silk, Nanfeng pushed the door in, "Pearl, I can't come to bring you food for the past two days, Elder asked Lingyun to send it to you." ”
Lingyun in the south wind is the daughter of Elder Yuan, it is said that Elder Yuan is the son of an old man, so he is quite fond of this Yuan Lingyun, and she is used to being a little pampered and arrogant, but fortunately, she is also a knife mouth tofu heart.
Nanfeng said that Lingyun was extremely beautiful, and she was the first beauty in their southern Sha tribe, and the only one who had been to Tianxuan Kingdom, as if they were all proud of having been to Tianxuan Kingdom.
Listening to Nanfeng, it seems that His Royal Highness Xiban has been sent to Tianxuan Kingdom as a proton since he was a child, and he has not returned yet.
Listening to Nanfeng's words, Pearl immediately sat up, and asked with wide eyes: "Why?" ”
She had never seen that Yuan Lingyun, and she might have been an old acquaintance before, but now that she has lost her memory, everyone is very strange. She doesn't know anything about her temperament, if this person is not easy to get along with and doesn't talk much, then wouldn't she be even more bored, it would be better to give her a stab.
"The elder sent me and my brother to bring people to the lake tomorrow to fetch water." Nanfeng said as he put the food on the stone table and beckoned Pearl to come over to eat.
Pearl got out of bed and came over, put her butt on the stool, took off her face veil, picked up the bowl and took a bite of rice, the rice was still in her mouth, and asked vaguely, "Urping Lake?" What is that place? ”
"It is the place where all the tribes of the Western Barbarians draw water together, and it is an oasis in the desert, where cattle and sheep are everywhere, and it is an extremely rich place." When Nanfeng said this, he put his hands on his cheeks, and his face was full of yearning.
The south of this sand is full of yellow sand, and there is no oasis in sight, and it is very barren, and the pearl can't help but yearn for the oasis in the desert.
"Then why don't we move there, we have to live in this hellish place." Pearls are eaten while talking.
"You are talking nonsense again, it is the territory of the Western Barbarian Kingdom, since ancient times, they are the weak and the strong, they are strong and strong, who can fight. For the sake of the peace of the Quartet, the king of Xiqi divided the lake for everyone's use. ”
The Western Barbarian Country, which the south wind is talking about every day, she really wants to see how rich and beautiful it is, and it is so prohibitive.
Nanfeng said and put a chopstick dish into the pearl bowl, and said: "The lake is outside the city of the Western Barbarian Country, so every once in a while, the clan will take turns to send people there to get water, otherwise what will the clan eat and drink." ”
"And when you used to go to fetch water? But there are people who have entered the royal city of the Western Barbarians. ”
Nanfeng pursed his lips and said with some loss: "No, I want the Purple Mandarin City, the royal city of the Western Barbarians, to have their pass card." ”
Pearl eyes are rolling slightly, Purple Mandarin City? Then I'm going to check it out. As soon as he thought about it, he immediately changed his flattering expression, and blinked at Nanfeng, "My dearest Nanfeng." ”
This fleshy voice made Nanfeng can't help but tremble. "What are you doing here?"
Pearl simply put down the dishes and chopsticks, moved to Nanfeng's side, and rubbed her head against her chest, "You see that I can eat and sleep, it's already good, it can't be better, why don't you take me with you, one more person will do more, I will definitely be able to help." ”
Nanfeng had a disgusted expression on his face, and reached out to push her head away, "It's not up to me to say whether you're good or not, besides, it's a long way to get water from the lake, and all the people in the clan must get the consent of the elders." I don't dare take you away without permission. ”
"Nanfeng, are we good sisters?" Pearl asked solemnly.
"Of course they're good sisters! But I can't do it. Definitely not. Nanfeng resolutely refused.
Pearl knows that Nanfeng has always been a conformist and conformist, and she will not agree to it until tomorrow.
So he flattered and put on an unhappy look, and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't go, you won't go, look at your stinginess." And when do you leave tomorrow? ”
"Let's go." Seeing that Pearl was displeased, Nanfeng hurriedly took her hand and comforted: "We will be back in less than two days, and we will not be delayed for long, and when I come back, I will go and beg the elders to release you, and then I will take you out to play." ”
"That's what you said, don't go back." Pearl smiled again, and Nanfeng's hanging heart fell, she was afraid that Pearl would be angry with her.
Nanfeng is still too innocent to see the difference in pearl's heart at all, and when he talks to her, he already has a ghost idea in his heart.
Pearl Yin finished packing up and went out, she wore a black plain clothes, her face was wrapped in a white veil, and her hair was tied up to look like a man. When she came to the gate of the tribe, she saw a long line of camels resting, each carrying two large buckets of water ready to be filled, and the pearl crept into the rearmost bucket.
At the end of the day, a bunch of people who seemed to be listening to the pearl in the barrel came out, packed up their things and prepared to go. In a moment, the camel began to get up, and the pearl fell backwards, and the back of its head slammed into the barrel, but it had to cover its mouth and frown.
The camel caravan began to walk towards the lake, and the camels walked very bumpy, and the pearl stayed in it for a long time, and could not stand it anymore, so she lifted the lid of the bucket and shouted to the people in front, "South wind." ”
When Nanfeng heard the sound, she turned her head and saw a pearl with only one head exposed, and she hurriedly stopped, and as soon as she stopped, the whole camel caravan stopped. She rolled down the camel and came to Pearl, and waved the whip in her hand, and the camel fell to her knees, and Pearl crawled out of it, and immediately felt that her body was comfortable, and she stretched her waist.
"Pearl, why did you come along? You're ......... This is nonsense. Nanfeng looked surprised and looked a little incoherent.
Before Pearl could reply, another man came to him, a head taller than Xiaoge, burly and strong, with dark skin, but delicate and shiny, a pair of good-looking Danfeng eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, but he was handsome, Pearl searched in his mind for a while, and came to the conclusion that this person was unfamiliar.
The man came up to her, smiled softly, and asked, "Pearl, do you remember me?" ”
The pearl head shook like a rattle, "I don't remember." ”
The man seemed unwilling, as if Pearl should remember him, and asked again, "I'm Nan Yi, don't you really remember?" ”
Nanfeng saw that she hadn't remembered yet, so he stepped forward and said, "Nan Yi is my brother." After speaking, he turned his head to Nan Yi and said: "Brother, Pearl she really doesn't remember anything, don't force her to think about it, she will have a headache." ”
Pearl smiled mischievously at him, "I said why is it so familiar, it looks quite similar to Nanfeng." ”
Nanfeng calmed his face and said, "Pearl, you have to go back, otherwise the elder will be angry when he finds out, and you hurry back before you have gone far." Nanfeng said as he pushed the pearl onto the camel and motioned for her to ride it back.
Pearl dodged, dodged Nanfeng's hand, ran behind Nan Yi to hide, and asked him for help pitifully, "Brother Yi, you have to help me." I was all cured, but Elder Yuan forced me to rest, knowing that he was good for me, and those who didn't know thought he was prejudiced against me. I really want to go outside and see it, or I'll suffocate. ”
Although she has amnesia, and she doesn't remember how good the relationship between Nan Yi and herself is, but Brother Yi's call is very smooth.
Nan Yi immediately smiled heartily, "Okay, Xiaofeng, let's take her with us." ”
"No, if the elders know, they will definitely punish us." Nanfeng looked embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'll explain to the elder when I go back, even if I want to be punished, just let him punish me alone, don't worry."
"Brother, you know I didn't mean that." Nanfeng kicked his feet and glared, his face displeased.
"Alright, we have to get going, or we won't be able to get water when it's dark." After Nan Yi finished speaking, he motioned for Pearl to go ahead and ride a camel.
Nan Yi is so understanding, it really makes her heart, Pearl was suddenly moved and almost cried, she stretched out her hand and put it on Nan Yide's shoulder, and said sonorously: "Good brother, enough righteousness." ”
The group led the camel caravan to an oasis deep in the desert, and Pearl was looking forward to it.
