Zuo Shaoyang said: "Well, I should have explained to you at the time, but it was too chaotic at the time, and I didn't have time later, so I didn't tell you until now, for fear that you would misunderstand what your father had planned." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info hehe"
Wu Meiniang's face was flushed with shame, she thought about it, opened the curtain, hugged the quilt, and walked quickly to Zuo Shaoyang's bedside, opened the curtain, and put the quilt in Zuo Shaoyang's bed.
"What are you doing here?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned.
"I'm going to sleep with my dad!" Wu Meiniang said coquettishly. took off his middle coat, put on only the dirty clothes that were as thin as cicada's wings, climbed into bed from the end of the bed, and then got into the quilt.
Zuo Shaoyang knew that Wu Meiniang wanted to use this behavior to express her apology, so he turned over and looked at her. The curtain was thick, and the light in the room, which was already dim, was even darker, and only a faint silhouette could be seen. Zuo Shaoyang complained: "It's so decent, what are you doing here?" This is a single bed, how crowded it is for two people! ”
"No, I'm going to sleep with my dad tonight!" Wu Meiniang twisted her body coquettishly, stretched out a Hao arm from the quilt, straightened the corners of the quilt for Zuo Shaoyang, and then hugged her neck, put her face on his face, and said softly: "Dad, if there is something wrong with my daughter, you will bear more." ”
Zuo Shaoyang stretched out his hand and twisted it on her slippery face: "You, even if there is really something that makes me angry, I can't be angry when I look at you like this!" ”
Wu Meiniang smiled, let go of her hand and retracted the quilt: "Daddy will bring this Dafa back to life, my daughter will not be afraid, if Ming'er encounters something unlucky and dies again, Daddy will cast a spell again, and he will come back to life, hehe, wouldn't that be immortal!" ”
"Look at what you said, this spell can only be used in rare cases, that is, although the person has lost his qi, but the yang qi has not been broken, and he must cast the spell within the time of a cup of tea, if the head falls off, no matter how he casts the spell, it is useless!"
"Oh," Wu Meiniang stuck out her tongue, "then how does Daddy know if the Yang Qi has been broken?" ”
"This needs to be examined in person. - Let's go to sleep, I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning! ”
"Okay, Dad."
Wu Meiniang obediently closed a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, she let go of the burden in her heart, her whole body was relaxed, and she quickly fell asleep sweetly.
Zuo Shaoyang saw that she was asleep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, and the events of this day made him come to a conclusion: Wu Meiniang really regarded herself as her own father, not out of using herself to climb up in order to achieve the purpose of entering the center of power, otherwise, if she mistakenly thought that she kissed her because she liked her and wanted to circle with her, she must have taken advantage of the situation to get along with herself, after all, the lover is a relative among relatives, which is a step further than ordinary relatives and can better achieve the result she wants.
And now, Wu Meiniang did not do this, which can only show that her feelings for her are really innocent father-daughter love, and when she suspected that she had bad intentions, she immediately alienated herself, which was actually a natural reaction when she thought that her innocent feelings were desecrated.
Realizing this, Zuo Shaoyang's heart is even more uneasy, in the face of a woman who really regards herself as her father, how to kill her ruthlessly?
However, when I think of all kinds of stories about Wu Zetian, what killed the son to blame the queen, what cut off the hands and feet to make "drunk bones", etc., if you don't do it ruthlessly now, her daughter will die tragically in her hands in the future, and the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf will be repeated in herself, that is a great irony!
Zuo Shaoyang stared at Wu Meiniang's extremely charming face in the dark, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, and the ruthlessness in his heart was a bit like a candle in the wind, swaying constantly, and he didn't know when it would be extinguished.
He closed his eyes and warned himself in his heart that there must be no kindness of a woman, and only those who can afford to let go can be called true heroes!
I don't expect to be a hero, but it's okay to be a bear who protects his boys, if he can't even protect his family, what's the use of a big hero?
―――――――――――――――――――― this year's Fire Festival, because of an accident, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and the local festival envoy has been removed from his post by the imperial court for investigation. The festival was also temporarily suspended. Therefore, the worshippers who gathered in Lingzhou left Lingzhou one after another.
Zuo Shaoyang and the others settled the room payment early the next morning and left the inn.
When Zuo Shaoyang and the others came, they drove two carriages, one cart loaded with medicinal herbs, the other cart sat on people, and two little donkeys led behind the carriage.
Haitong looked at their outfit and couldn't help but smile: "Sir, the carriage can't cross the desert Gobi, it's better to sell it, add some money, and buy three camels, without camels, don't expect to be able to cross the desert." ”
Zuo Shaoyang naturally knew that the camel known as the Desert Boat had seen it in the zoo before the crossing, but he had never ridden it, and Wu Meiniang naturally had never even seen it. When I heard that I was going to ride a camel, I jumped with joy.
Zuo Shaoyang and the others sold the carriage and bought three camels with extra money, two horses for people to ride, and one horse to consign medicinal herbs. The two red-haired donkeys can't be sold, not only because they were given by the emperor, but more importantly, these two donkeys are selected, one in a million boutiques, like the horses in Mali, which are very rare. Zuo Shaoyang is reluctant to sell it, and he will ride back in the future. So take the little donkey behind the camel and lead it away.
Haitong is a small shopkeeper, with four guys, transported leather goods from Mobei to Lingzhou to sell, and then bought some goods from Lingzhou and transported them to Mobei to sell. He had already bought the goods before this, so he didn't delay, and after Zuo Shaoyang and the others changed the camel, they rode the camel directly and set off.
Leaving Lingzhou all the way to the north, gradually there is only yellow sand and Gobi, and the dwellings are becoming more and more difficult to see, and the plants on the ground are only some low and thorny shrubs.
When the first real desert appeared in front of them, Wu Meiniang cheered happily on the back of the camel, pointing at Zuo Shaoyang for a while, and marveling at the scream for a while.
When she stopped to rest and eat at noon, Wu Meiniang took off her shoes and socks, and ran on the soft sand dunes with a pair of white greasy and small feet.
The warm sun at noon was very pleasant, and she was tired of running, so she sat on the sand dune with her butt and sat beside Zuo Shaoyang with her knees crossed to look at the scenery in the distance.
Sea Channel: "How is the girl?" I kid you not, the desert scenery is beautiful, right? ”
Wu Meiniang didn't easily agree with other people's opinions, so she deliberately found a fork and pouted: "It's not bad at first, but after reading this halfway, it's all yellow sand, and it's not interesting." ”
"Hehe," Haitong smiled dryly and couldn't find the words to reply to her.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "The scenery of the desert, different from our Central Plains, is this kind of desolation, in fact, the beauty of the desert is not seen with the eyes, but experienced with the heart, only through the desert, feel the desert to give people the hardships of the experience, will feel its beauty, just like mountaineering, that kind of cool feeling, is must be felt with sweat." ”
Wu Meiniang applauded and smiled: "It's still what Daddy said!" Sure enough, that's what happened. Let's go all the way, go through hardships, and only then can we come to the bitter end. ”
While talking, several of Haitong's buddies were already preparing lunch. There were no people in the desert, and there was no firewood to burn, so they had to bring dry food and water, and there was no way to bury the pot to cook, and their lunch was cold white flour steamed buns and beef and mutton.
Lunch was placed on a piece of oilcloth on the floor, and everyone sat around on the floor, grabbing steamed buns and beef and eating them laboriously.
Wu Meiniang frowned and said, "Why don't you wash your hands?" It's so dirty to eat like this. ”
A fat fellow said, "Girl, water in the desert is more expensive than gold, and you can't do it so badly if you want to keep people and camels drinking!" ”
"Then why don't you bring more water?"
"Bring more," an elderly man said to Wu Meiniang, "I won't tell you, this time, because you two crossed the desert together, we can bring twice as much water as usual!" ”
The sea passage on the side: "We brought so much water, we must have enough, pour some and wash the hands of the girl." ”
"Yes!" The fat guy took a leather bag of water from the back of a camel, hugged it, pulled out the stopper, and motioned for Wu Meiniang to stretch out her hand to wash.
Wu Meiniang sneered: "Forget it, I heard that it is difficult to find water sources in the desert, since this eldest brother said that water is very expensive, it is better not to wash it." ”
The fat guy said happily: "The girl is really sensible! "Quickly plugged the plug tighter again.
Haitong has been walking in the desert for many years, so he naturally understands the gold of water, and he didn't want Wu Meiniang to wash his hands with water, but he was also very happy when he heard that she took the initiative not to wash it, and hurriedly took a white-flour steamed bun and handed it over: "Girl, please eat steamed buns." ”
Wu Meiniang shook her head: "Thank you, I'll eat a piece of beef first." ”
"Okay!" Haitong went to get the beef again, Wu Meiniang had already taken a small piece of beef from front of her and brought it to her mouth, sniffed it first, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, took a small bite, sipped it in her mouth, and then chewed it slowly.
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "How is it?" Isn't it to taste? ”
Wu Meiniang smiled reluctantly, leaned over to Zuo Shaoyang's ear, and said in a low voice: "This beef is just cooked in water, and there are no condiments, just like chewing wood minced." ”
The little guy sitting next to her heard this, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't you know, this beef is boiled for a long time, and you can eat it with some ingredients, if you add condiments in advance and cook it together, it will soon change its flavor and you can't eat it." - Girl, this is a condiment, you will be much better if you dip it and eat it. With that, he handed over a bowl of noodle sauce.
"I see." Wu Meiniang smiled a little embarrassed. I took the beef and dipped it in a little noodle sauce and took a bite of it, and sure enough, the taste was different, so I ate it happily.
Eating beef, Wu Meiniang wanted to take the steamed buns again, but she couldn't reach it far away, and seeing that Haitong was going to help her get it again, Wu Meiniang hurriedly said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Dad, I want to eat steamed buns." ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled, knowing that she didn't like others to help her get food, so he got up and took a white-flour steamed bun and handed it to her. Wu Meiniang took it and ate a mouthful of steamed buns and beef.
Wu Meiniang chewed on the white-flour steamed bun and asked Hai Channel: "Brother Hai, you said that there are wolves in the desert Gobi, why haven't we seen a wolf in the past two days?" ”
