Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (Part 4)

One night, Li Xu talked badly, and after a lot of effort, he finally convinced Ah Yun that he didn't need her "teaching" and promised that he would not return her to Aunt Qing, and then he fell asleep exhausted. Early the next morning, when he was enjoying Ah Yun's milk tea and thinking about how to solve the big trouble in front of him, Tao Kuotuosi came to the door by himself.

Seeing a woman of the same age as himself, Tao Kuo immediately changed his face. The maid Ah Yun is far older than Tao Kuodesi, and she understands this girl's scheming best. Seeing the sudden change in the other party's face, he immediately knelt down and shouted in a low voice: "Slave Ayun, I have seen the hostess, I wish the hostess good luck and health!" ”

Tao Kuo wanted to pull out his knife desperately, but after listening to this greeting, he stared at the hazy sleepy eyes and saw clearly the slave collar around Ah Yun's neck and the calf of **, and the resentment in his heart immediately disappeared. The Zhufei coalition army wiped out the Suotou Xi Department in the first battle, and five or six thousand male and female prisoners were captured, among which the Su Si Department had the greatest merit and the largest number of troops, so the number of prisoners of war was also the largest. Male and female slaves like the other party with a collar around their necks, almost every warrior in the Su Si Department can get one or two. What's more, Li Xu made great contributions in this battle, according to the rules of the grassland, if Su Si didn't give him ten or eight slaves, it would be unfair to the patriarch and the elders. What makes Tao Kuotuosi even more pleased is that even if the female slave is favored, she will never be able to take the position of the master, so she doesn't have to worry about Li Xu being snatched away by others.

"Are you alone? Why didn't anyone build you a felt bag? Tao Kuo reached out to help Ah Yun up, and asked amiably. It is one thing to be able to understand that Li Xu owns slaves, and it is another thing to be so tolerant that his sweetheart always lives in the same felt tent with other women. If you don't figure out the merits, the girl will never give up.

Xu Xian said that the master did not like to call others, so the other slaves assigned to the master were replaced by cattle and sheep by the patriarch. The slave maid was given to the master by Mrs. Wanqing, saying that she was serving the master's daily life. I just came last night, and I haven't had time to pitch my tent yet. By the grace of his master, he allowed the slave to sleep at the door all night! Ah Yun hung her head and replied cautiously. Thinking about the fact that he slept next to the warmest brazier in the entire felt tent last night, he secretly threw a grateful glance at Li Xu.

"Oh!" Tao Kuo nodded slightly, and the smile on his face became brighter. Since Ah Yun slept at the door all night, nothing would happen to him and this 'stupid'. looked Ah Yun up and down again, and secretly compared the complexion of the other party's height, and the confidence in her heart was fuller. He withdrew a string of silver bells from his wrist, and said as much as he could, "This is a reward for you, and I will order someone to build a felt tent next to you in a while." Since you are serving and detached, I will not treat you badly! ”

A few words are indecent, always demonstrating, and like currying favor. The maidservant Ah Yun smiled secretly in her heart and took the silver bell, knelt down and kowtowed again. Mrs. Wanqing arranged for her to go to Li Xu's felt bag, just so that she could guide the affairs of the two masters and men as a person who came over. If Tao Kuo gave people the following Ma Wei as soon as they met, then it would be no wonder that Ah Yun deliberately guided Li Xu to the crooked path when teaching "skills".

Li Xu naturally didn't know that in a moment, the two girls had already exchanged more than a dozen moves, and the offensive and defensive killings inside were no worse than the intensity of the two armies. I was still worried about how to explain Ah Yun's matter to Tao Kuotuosi, but when I saw that the two girls suddenly became acquainted, they didn't need to be the owner of the felt bag at all, so I breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart. I was about to invite Tao Kuo to sit down and drink a bowl of milk tea, and I was about to entertain a friend in my felt bag. The savage girl reached over and grabbed his arm, and pulled it out of the felt bag without saying a word.

"Attached to my brother, did you say that you would go out for a horse race today? I've got a horse from the herd and I'll go out and see if you like it. With that, he put his head on Li Xu's shoulder like a demonstration.

Li Xu was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to expose Tao Kuo's lies in front of outsiders, saying that he had never made an appointment to go out with her. He didn't dare to avoid the shoulder hurting the girl's face, so he had to blush, and let Tao Kuo go out of the house side by side with him like a grassland couple.

"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.

Unable to help but say, Tao Kuotuosi pushed Li Xu onto the horse, jumped on another war horse himself, and whipped and galloped 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, and rode his horse to follow closely. 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-sack 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. Thinking of this layer suddenly, he lost his thoughts in his heart, ran to the charcoal basin, and desperately blew the fire with his mouth.

Just as he was in a hurry, a series 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 can't blow." I'll be right back, you don't have to worry about me! ”

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