Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Witch Boy Returns to Qin (3)
This time, along with the sorcerer Mingyi and the witch boy "Jiji", there were also 20 female musicians and 10 swordsmen. Wu Tong's "Jiji" is naturally me. Before leaving, Ming Yi used yarrow to divinate a hexagram for his trip, and divined a hexagram for me to "Jiji", and explained: "If the woman loses her fortune, don't chase it, and get it in seven days." ”
The meaning of this is that my hat will fall off when I cross the river, but I don't need to look for it, and it will come back on its own after seven days. But what the meaning is, I can't guess. In response to my question, Mingyi just smiled and didn't respond. I couldn't understand it, so I could only press my crown and hat with my hands before I got on the boat, so that it would not be blown away by the wind and answer the hexagram.
Ming Yi has always disliked getting along with people, so in addition to the boatman in charge of the boat, there are only me and Kuroko on his boat.
In the bright afternoon, the spring light is melting, the breeze is gentle, the water surface is mighty, and the waves are sparkling. I sat on the edge of the boat, took off my shoes and socks, and half-squinted as the clear river glided over my ankles with a dazzling golden light.
It has been more than four months since I left Yongcheng, and unlike Xiao Suo when I came, the grass on both sides of Weishui is now lush with flowers. On the flat water surface, you can still see the shadow of the purple bell from time to time, the clumps of aquatic plants float on the river surface with the waves, and the lilac bouquets in the green shadow bushes are like strings of bells knotted on the water surface, which makes people happy.
"You're pretty good at having fun alone." Kuroko wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down beside me.
"It's cool, how do you get sweaty?" I turned my head to look at him and chuckled.
"Today there is wind, sailing against the current, where is it so easy. After another bend, you will have to change to the overland route. ”
"Oh." I was listening to Kuroko when suddenly a black shadow flew from the shore and came straight to my head! I looked sideways, and when I looked closely, I saw a green gourd rolling happily on the board.
This is...... An assassin who used a gourd as a weapon?
I was dumbfounded, but Kuroko was excited, pulled my cuffs and shouted, "Look! What a lot of girls! ”
Under the golden sunshine, there are seven or eight young girls standing on the bank of Weishui, some of them are in Huanyi, some are fetching water, just now the melon to me is a plain girl carrying a fruit basket, she saw me turn her head, she pushed and laughed with others.
When the boat turned around, it came close to the shore, and they sprinkled me with their hands. The plain woman took a red fruit from the basket and threw it over, I reached out to take it, smiled and nodded in thanks.
The girl blushed with shame, and sang quietly: "The Weishui is sloppy, and the pan is like a boat, and I wish to speak and think like a bandit." ”
This singing made me blush, and I couldn't eat the fruit I threw in my hand, so I could only grin stupidly.
"What is she singing?"
Kuroko put a blow on my shoulder, I shook my head, lowered my voice and said, "I'll tell you later!" ”
The boat went forward a little further, and the girl in the sun gradually disappeared from our sight, and I looked at the fruit in my hand and smiled brightly.
"Look at you, what is that girl singing?"
"She, she said the man who took the boat, I love you, and the longing in my heart is like unwashed clothes at home, and I can't forget it."
"It's so strange for you to be so happy to be shown love by a woman."
"Not only do I feel happy, but I also envy them, who dare to love and speak out, and live freely. By the way, I knew I should have called Mingyi out and sat in the bow of the boat. In that way, when we get to Qin, maybe we will be able to get an extra boatload of vegetables and fruits. "I'm happy to be done.
"Shhhh After Kuroko finished speaking, he probably also thought of the scene of Mingyi sitting on the bow of the boat and being smashed by a gourd, covering his mouth and smiling happier than me.
"Come in!" Mingyi's voice came from the cabin.
"Call you!" Kuroko pushed me, and I realized that I was a boy now.
I entered the cabin and sat down beside Mingyi, "What do the wizards command?" ”
"I'll get off the boat later, put this on." Ming Yi handed me a black lacquered dragon pattern mask, "This is already the Qin Realm, you'd better not speak, lest someone find out that you are a woman." ”
I took the mask and put it on my face, and said sullenly, "Won't others think I'm weirder?" ”
Ming Yi took out another red dragon pattern mask and put it on his face: "If I wear it with you, others will not find it strange, but will be in awe, so awe that they dare not look at you." ”
The shamans have always been the most mysterious and feared group of people in the world, and it is said that they can communicate with the gods and convey the will of the Emperor to the world. After we went ashore, we wearing masks were really respected by everyone, and the farmers who were working in the fields even put down their farming tools and knelt down on the banks of the fields to pray for us.
The convoy walked along the shore of the field for a while and suddenly stopped. A swordsman reported to Mingyi, saying that he had collided with another team at a fork in the road in front of him, and asked whether to let or not.
When driving, it is very particular whether to give up or not, and the key is to look at the identity of both parties. Now, I don't know in what capacity Tianshu participated in Gongzili's wedding banquet this time, and I want to take this opportunity to explore the truth.
"You go down with me and have a look." Mingyi said.
"No!"
I followed Ming Yi out of the car and walked a few steps forward, only to see a white-faced man wearing a jasper crown and a black embroidered dragon pattern coat next to another convoy vomiting on the side of the road.
Originally, when this kind of thing happened, Mingyi, who loved the clean, must cover his nose and leave quickly. Today, for the first time, he stepped forward and patted the man on the back, and said softly: "Let the car run slower and won't vomit like this." ”
I couldn't believe it, it wasn't like Mingyi would say it.
"Did you bring any antiemetic herbs?" Mingyi asked me back.
I shook my head, nodded again, went around the ridge and pulled out a broad-leaved grass, smashed the roots with pebbles, smeared them on a handkerchief, and handed it to Mingyi without saying a word.
"Speak!"
"Oh! This grass root is slightly pungent and has the effect of awakening the brain and relieving nausea, and covering the mouth and nose can relieve nausea. When you get to the city, let this noble man rest for a while, find a piece of Du Ruo's root, and slice it in his mouth. ”
"Get out of the way—" Ming Yi shouted at the convoy in front of him, then picked up the man and whispered, "Why don't you take my car?" ”
At that time, only women's carriages would be covered with canopy and set up mats, but Mingyi's carriage could be used for two purposes. At this moment, the cyan top cover covered the car tightly as soon as it was put down.
Ming Yi helped the man sit down on the mat, and ordered someone to bring in a bowl of water: "Are you better?" ”
The man smiled weakly, took the bowl and rinsed it, and said, "You two take off your masks, it looks scary." ”
"Okay." Mingyi took off his mask with a worried look on his face.
I took the mask in my hand and secretly looked at the man in black opposite, thinking, who is he? can be taken care of by Mingyi like this, and then look at his weak appearance, I am afraid that he has been a sick man since he was a child.
"The child's method works, I'm much better." He patted Mingyi's hand, looked at me and smiled, "Xiao'er has a look of compassion, doesn't he think I'm dying?" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Your vomiting may be caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, and it will be fine if you recuperate in eating." ”
The man in black smiled and closed his eyes gently, muttering before falling asleep: "This grassroots still has the purpose of calming and hypnosis, right?" Children really have a lot of tricks. ”
"You drugged him and knocked him out?!" Mingyi asked in surprise.
"Since he is easily nauseated in the car, it is better to fall asleep, so that he can recuperate and not suffer from sin." I spread my hands and looked innocent.
Mingyi ignored me anymore, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and the man leaned on his shoulder and slept soundly......
Hey, the two sons are in the same car, it's beautiful!
If you open the car cover at this moment, I don't know how many delicious melons and fruits you can get. In case, if you run into the noble daughter of the scholar family, you may be able to throw vanilla jade. I'm thinking nonsense, the convoy has entered Jingyang City, and everyone is going to rest here for the night, and then set off at dawn.
