Chapter 107: Warriors of the Kingdom (2)
I was also happy when I heard it, and I was really sick with such an abnormal behavior.
"Who is that man? I haven't seen you ever be so attentive to a stranger. Si'er moved down and put his ear to my mouth.
I tugged at her ear, lowered my voice and smiled: "This person is like the first celebrity and the richest person today, I want to stammer and make some benefits for him." ”
"You don't lack anything, what are you doing with him?" Si'er pinched my hand, raised two eyebrows and said nervously, "You don't want to find a famous and rich person to run with just because the general wants to marry a wife, right?" A woman who has no matchmaker and no hire for a man has a lower status than a concubine, you know this better than me! ”
"What do you think!" I sat up straight and secretly swept around, for fear that Si'er's words would be heard, "I want to make friends with him, because I want to have the opportunity to go to Lu Country in the future, and maybe I can see Kong Qiu." Si'er, I think you want to marry and go crazy! Oh, don't worry, when you return to the Jin Kingdom, I will immediately tear the cloth and embroider the wedding dress for you! ”
"Oh, I can't talk about you!" Si'er slapped me with a red face, turned around and got into the camp, "Don't be Dr. Kong, Lu Fuzi, hurry up and sleep, if the boat can't go tomorrow, you have to walk with your feet!" ”
I turned my head and glanced at Duanmu Ci, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and thought, I don't know if this Kongqiu will accept female disciples, otherwise I will bring a string of dried meat to Lu Country to pay tuition in two years!
"Ah Shi, Cai Fuzi's bird is still you keeping, I'm afraid I'll lose it!" Si'er poked a head out of the tent and handed me the two-headed pottery bird I had left with her.
"What is this? It looks weird. "Innocent long hand stretched out and grabbed the pottery bird.
"Don't break it!" Si'er saw that Wuxian pinched the tail of the pottery bird and turned it around in his hand, and hurriedly issued a warning.
I snatched the pottery bird from Wuxie's hand and said solemnly: "I have a lot of use for this thing, if you break it, I will try all the herbs on the poison scripture on you!" ”
"If you try one, you'll die, it won't take you so much effort!" Innocent cocked his mouth and muttered, "I'm not as important as this ugly bird." ”
Si'er rolled his eyes at Wuxian and smiled at me: "This child you raised is not fierce, hurry up and reason with him!" With that, he retracted his head back into the tent.
"Innocent, do you want to know who your real parents are? Do you want to know why they abandoned you in the first place? ”
"I don't want to!" Innocent replied coldly.
"But I want to...... I want to know who my father is, whether my aunt is from the Jin Kingdom, I want to know if I have any brothers and sisters, and why are my eyes different from others? ”
"Will this broken bird tell you?" Innocent glanced at the pottery bird in my hand.
I rubbed my hand over the two connected heads of the pottery bird and smiled, "Of course not, but if I give this pottery bird to a person, he may tell me what I want to know." ”
"Who?"
"Jin Guotai Shimo is also my current master." I turned my head to look at Wu Evil, "You were first caught by slave traders in Xianyu Hengshan, half of Hengshan is in Xianyu and half is in the territory of the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom, maybe this time you can go back to the Jin Kingdom with me, and you can also find your parents." ”
"I don't want to go to them, I'm who I am, and who my parents are can't change anything." Innocence raised his head and stared straight into the dark woods in the distance. No matter where he lives or who he is with, he will always be a proud and lonely wolf.
"Well, it's all up to you." I turned and went into the tent.
I slept very deeply that night, not dreaming of a battlefield strewn with corpses, nor dreaming of a heart-rending parting, lying in a thin tent that barely covered the wind and snow, I slept the most restfully in months.
"Ah Shi, are you awake? If you don't get up again, everyone will be gone! ”
Si'er's voice came from mid-air, I shivered, and immediately sat up: "What time is it?" Why didn't you call me earlier? ”
"I see that you rarely sleep well, how can I be willing to call you." Si'er lifted the bear skin off my body, crawled in and rubbed my face, "You have to hurry, it's noon now." Our boat still couldn't go today, and the guards had already gone to the town in front early in the morning to get a few ox carts and a few horses. You get dressed and we're good to go. ”
"It's noon!" I hurriedly put on my clothes, collected the contents of the tent, and got out. At this time, Wu Feng and Doctor Baili were no longer there, only Zhao Wuxian and a few rangers were still packing up their things in the camp.
"Are you willing to do it?" Teaseless stacked things onto the bullock cart and asked me with a smile.
"They're all gone?" I swept around, but I didn't see Lan Ji, nor did I see Duanmu Ci's group.
"The things on the boat should be almost moved by now, so we'll meet them at the river and set off together." Wuxian handed the ox cart to the four guards and mounted a horse himself, "Sit on!" He held out his hand to me.
"You go first, we'll try to catch up." I smiled and rejected his kindness.
Wuxian glanced at Si'er, as if he understood my thoughts, smiled slightly, and rode away.
Last night's snow had melted, and the ox carts with their luggage were swaying on the muddy yellow mud road, and the old wheels couldn't help but creak. I carried the hem and led Si'er, trying to get my feet to land on the hay by the roadside.
"Why don't you ride with him, is it because of me? Actually, I could have climbed on top of the bullock cart and sat on it. Si'er looked at me and said.
"How long has it been since I've walked with you like this?" I took Si'er's hand and gently jumped over a mud puddle, "When I was a child, I always felt that the people around me would never leave. Now that I'm older, I know that parting is much easier than staying together. An inadvertent turn may result in losing the person you care about most. So, while you're still married, I want to cherish our time together. ”
"Ah Shi......" Si'er held my hand tightly and said movingly, "I heard what you said to the wolf cub yesterday, whether you can find your father or not, whether you have other brothers and sisters, we are all sisters, for life." ”
"Well, for a lifetime." I shook her hand back, my nose aching.
When Wu Feng marries Bo Huan, and when Si'er marries Yu An, maybe it's time for me to leave. A person and a horse, wandering the world, not to be his Ashi, nor to be the son of the Jin Kingdom, but me, an orphan girl without a country and a home.
Duanmuci was already gone by the time I reached the river, and Lan Ji and her group of Maiko planned to walk to the village ahead and wait for the Chi clan to send a carriage to pick me up.
A group of us switched from water to land. In the first few days, it was very hard to walk because of the shortage of vehicles and horses, but after arriving in Wucheng, Wuxian sent people to hire four spacious carriages, and finally did not suffer for more than ten days, and finally returned to Xinjiang after walking and resting all the way.
Xinjiang City had just had a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the road into the city was lined with half-human-high snow. Because the weather was so cold, the snow on the side of the road did not melt, but mixed with gray-brown dust and formed a hard lump, and the gray and gray paved all the way to the end of the long street. I lifted the curtain on the carriage and poked my head out, and a mouthful of white mist came out: "Why don't you stop?" I asked the coachman.
"It's the car in front of you that won't go." The coachman pointed ahead with a whip, and when I looked over, I saw Zhao Wuxian and Bo Huan standing on the side of the road talking to an old man with gray hair, and their faces were not very good-looking.
"I'll go to the front and take a look, you and Innocent stay in the car and don't move." I got into the curtain and gave a command to Si'er, then pulled up my robe and jumped out of the carriage and ran to the shirtless.
"What's going on?" I asked.
Bo Huan frowned and pulled me aside, her voice trembling a little: "Zi Di, the son of the world was shot with an arrow, and the convoy escorting him back to the city is about to arrive." ”
Bruch is injured?! I was shocked and hurriedly said, "Who shot him?" Is the injury serious? ”
"It is said that he was accidentally injured this morning while hunting in the garden of the Marquis of Jin outside the city, and I don't know what the injury is, I will only know when I see it later."
How could a man who had to put pigs to be slaughtered in the yard suddenly think of hunting? Or happened to be injured by mistake? I smelled a hint of conspiracy from Bo Huan's words.
Bo Huan looked at the West City Gate and paced back and forth for two steps, then turned back to Wuxian and said, "You hurry up and send someone to properly settle General Wu and Doctor Baili, I'm afraid that the matter of Nacai will be slowed down for the time being." ”
"Well, it's already been ordered. The eldest sister should not be in a hurry, the witch doctor is already there, and as soon as the prince arrives, let him get in the car for diagnosis and treatment. ”
The old man I met on the way into the city was the witch doctor Ji of the Zhao Mansion, who was ordered by Zhao Ying to wait for Bolu's carriage at the city gate, but he didn't expect to meet us. If Bo Lu was not seriously injured, Zhao Ying would never send a witch doctor to stand at the city gate to stop the car, let alone let him carry a bamboo cage with a young dog to save people.
Witch doctors, as the name suggests, witch before healer. In the world, nine out of ten people who are sick ask for witchcraft, and there is a method called "moving omen" in witchcraft, which is to use witchcraft to transfer the signs of the sick to the young dog, so that it can suffer instead of the patient, and this method will never be used unless it is seriously ill.
I've learned the method of moving omins from Shi Mo, but I've never used it. Now that I think about it, since the curse of death can be fake, then this method of saving people may also be fake. Therefore, I immediately decided to let Si'er and Wuxian go to Taishi Mansion first, and I stayed behind with the witch doctor Ji at the gate of the city to wait for Bolu's carriage.
Half an hour later, Berlu's carriage galloped in from outside the city. Wuxian and Bo Ying took the place of the servants who drove the carriage, and the witch doctor Ji and I climbed into the carriage. Although, at first, I had imagined what Beru's injury would look like, but when I saw him with his eyes closed and his face pale through the gap in the curtain, I couldn't help but gasp.
