Chapter 115: The Wild Goose Flies (2)
The bitter cold wind of the wasteland poured into the cabin, freezing and shivering. I took a fire skewer and turned over a few pieces of red-hot charcoal in the hot basin, rubbed my hands and said to Si'er, "You dry your hands first, and I'll go and ask the boatman to put down the cloth canopy." β
Outside the cabin, gloomy clouds were surging in the sky, and the woods and mountains in the distance were abruptly gray, looking particularly lonely and sad.
"Winter in the Qin Kingdom is really early, isn't it going to snow?" Bo Huan rubbed her hands together and set up the heavy cloth canopy outside the cabin with me.
"I'm not afraid of snow, but if the water in front of you freezes, it's a problem." As soon as I opened my mouth, I immediately poured in a stomach of cold air.
"I'm afraid you're going to be right. You see, there are already ice floes on the shore. Bo Huan frowned, ran to the bow of the boat to take a look, and shouted at me, "The boat in front has stopped, what should I do?" β
I craned my neck, pulled the placket and walked to the boatman: "Old man, do you think we can still go like this?" β
"Nobleman, I'm afraid the river in front of me has been frozen, and looking at this day, it's probably going to snow heavily!" The boatman looked up at the sky with a worried face.
"If you are trapped on the ship, you will freeze to death! We'll have to find a place to camp with wind and snow out. Bo Huan leaned over and scooped up a piece of ice floe from Weishui and handed it to me, "It's no wonder that the boat in front of me can't move with such thick ice." β
"Well, without further ado. Old man, pull the boat to the shore! I said a word to the boatman, turned around and lifted the canopy and shouted to Si'er, "Si'er, the waterway ahead is frozen, and we will camp here tonight." β
"In addition to the barren mountains and wild forests, there are not even decent homes, how can you spend the night outside in this weather?" Mi Cao glanced out and complained in a coquettish voice.
"Then you can find a family to spend the night on your own! Don't think that if Ah Box spoils you, you really think of yourself as a princess! In the courtyard of my house, there is also a prince of Weiguo who drives the car for his father! What virtues! Bo Huan snorted coldly, turned his head and said to me, "When the boat stops later, I'll go down and take a look first, you and the little girl will put away the important things, and if you can't move away, you will leave a few guards here to watch at night." β
"You have to hurry, if it snows, it's easy to get lost in the wilderness." I nodded.
"Got it! I'm leaving! Bo Ying picked up his sword and strode out.
Mi Cao stared at the back of Bo Huan leaving, clenched a mouthful of silver teeth, and his chest fell together due to rapid breathing.
I sighed in my heart and said to Si'er: "Let's pack up some food and bring a few thicker winter clothes, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult tonight." β
"Gongzi Li sent a bear skin, let's bring it too?"
"Okay, you go get it, I'll pack the dry food."
Si'er and I quickly packed the things we needed into a baggage, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Bo Huan didn't come back, but Wuxie, who was in the same boat with Zhao Wuxian, came over.
"Ah Shi, the boat at the front is stuck in the ice, and they say we are going to spend the night in the forest ahead." There was a solid ice more than half a foot wide between the ship and the shore, and the innocent tiptoes landed lightly on the side of the ship.
"They're all off the boat?" I hung the packed baggage on Wuxie, and Si'er and Mi Cao also left the cabin one after another.
"They're all waiting in front. Come on, I'll carry you and jump ashore!" β
"I can do it myself, you can carry Si'er down first!"
"Let's go, little wolf cub!" Si'er smiled and patted Innocent's head and leaned over his back.
Mi Cao looked at the ice under her feet, clenched her fists and froze there, I said to her in a soft voice, "It's okay, let Wuxian come up and carry you again later." β
"I don't want that little brute's back!" Mi Cao glanced at Innocence and said disdainfully.
When Innocent couldn't speak, she said he was a monster. Now that the people are saying well, she says that he is a brute. This Mi Cao really has a lot of ways to make others hate her. "Then stand here! Princess! I left the next sentence and jumped ashore.
"We can't leave her here, can we?" Si'er tugged at my clothes.
"Leave her alone! Let's go! I pulled Si'er and Innocent forward, and soon met the oncoming candlestick.
"Where's Mi Cao?" He asked.
"Stand on the boat and blow the cold wind, waiting for you, the big hero, to save it!" I couldn't help but scoff.
Candle Chu's face froze, nodded and ran quickly.
It's better not to meet than to meet, it's the two of them! I glanced back and said to Wuxie: "If you look for a woman in the future, you have to find someone with a kind personality, if you find someone like Mi Cao, you will live at least twenty years less." β
"I don't want children, what are I going to do with a woman?" Innocent and coldly came out with a sentence, Si'er and I looked at each other, and daring to love a woman is for him to have children.
The wind was getting stronger, and a few scattered snowflakes were falling in the cloudy sky, and a few of us sped up and trotted all the way. Wu Feng and Zhao Wuxian in front were already waiting on the shore, and the candle in the back also rushed up with Mi Cao on their backs.
"Have you found a place to camp? I'm afraid the snow is going to get heavier and heavier! "I said to Wu Xian.
"Little girl, long time no see!" At this moment, the voice of a woman floated from behind the shirtless that made my scalp tingle.
"Why is she here?" I grabbed the shirt by the sleeve and pulled hard behind him.
"This is Zheng Nu Lanji, their boat is also trapped in the ice, and they will camp with us tonight." Shirtless looked back.
"How did you meet?" I sank my face and stared into Zhao Wuxian's eyes.
"In this world, how can there be a man who doesn't know my Lan Ji? What do you say? Lan Ji covered her lips and chuckled, glancing at the candle behind me with a pair of charming eyes.
Candle Chu put down Mi Cao on his back, turned his eyes around Lan Ji, and his mouth became the unruly ranger of the past with a grin.
"Lan Ji is a frequent guest of the Jin Kingdom's Guiqing's banquet, and this time it is a banquet for Zhi Yao, the sect leader of the Zhi Clan, to go to the Jin Kingdom." Shirtless explained softly.
"Yes......" Although I knew that Lan Ji didn't dare to do anything to me in front of everyone, I remembered how she chased me with the beast-faced man outside the workshop that day, and my back spine felt a chill.
"General Wu is still standing in front of him, and the little girl has been replaced in just one year?" Lan Ji glanced at Wuxian deeply, then walked up to me with a thin waist, hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, "When I didn't even want to die in prison, I poured ice water on my head, I thought you were a with deep love like the sea, but it turned out to be nothing more than Erer." β
As soon as her voice fell, Wu Feng, Doctor Baili, Bo Huan, and Zhao Wuxian all looked at me, and I said loudly with a sinking face: "Ah Shi Bucai, I have also learned women's morality for four years in the general's mansion, and I want to commit myself to a person like the prince of sin, and I would rather die!" β
After hearing this, Doctor Baili stroked his beard and sighed to Wu Feng: "You teach this child well, but it's a pity that my family's red medicine doesn't have the blessing to support each other with her." β
Wu Feng's face was full of pain, and he nodded woodenly, but his eyes stared at me without blinking.
At this time, the sky became more and more gloomy, and large snowflakes flew from the sky, and in an instant the earth was covered with a layer of ice moss. The mountains in the distance are no longer visible at this moment, and the places hundreds of feet away are already gray. They quickened their pace and went into a forest by the river, found a flat meadow, set up a tent, and lit a bonfire.
It was night, and the woods were eerily quiet, and all I could hear was the rustle of snowflakes falling and the crackling of dry wood being burned by fire. Wu Feng and Doctor Baili sat in one place and whispered their words, Wuxian and a few rangers sat together silently wiping their swords, and Candle Chu uncharacteristically left Mi Cao and entered the camp of Lan Ji and the Maiko, the men's low laughter and the women's laughter and scolding were mixed together, which made people think about it. Bo Ying looked at Wu Feng without blinking, and Mi Cao looked at Lan Ji's camp from time to time, but his face still showed indifference.
"Alasβ" I rubbed my left eyebrow, which had been jumping, and leaned my head on Si'er's shoulder, "I'm so dizzy......"
"If you're tired, go to bed early!" Si'er pulled up the bear skin draped over the two of us, "I didn't sleep well last night when I saw you tossing and turning. β
"Don't sleep!" As soon as I closed my eyes, the innocent on the side suddenly stood up and glanced into the dark woods behind me, and said alertly, "Someone is coming!" β
As soon as Wuxian shouted that there was someone, Wuxian immediately gave Ah Ji and a few people a look, and the six rangers stood up with their swords in unison. It is said that these six people had been mixed into the enemy camp for half a month earlier, and later, because their performance was too good, they were actually sent to guard the grain and grass in the rear of the Bashu coalition army before the battle. They did not kill the crown prince, but they burned the enemy's grain and grass to force the two countries of Bashu to surrender within three days, which was also a great achievement, so everyone received a hundred gold from Qin Bo.
"We are not robbers, but merchants passing by, and the ship can't move, so we found it when we saw the light of the fire here." A clear male voice rang out in the darkness.
A few people brought out four people from the forest, and even if the man who walked in front of me appeared in front of me with a knife, I would not have taken him for a robber. Instead, he had to worry about whether I would suddenly want to change careers and become a robber instead of a wizard.
This is not an exaggeration. The man in front of him looked like he was in his early thirties, with a high forehead, sparse eyebrows, a gold crown, and leather boots. A huge pearl in the golden crown, shining with a luster against the backdrop of firelight, like a bright moon hanging overhead. Below is an indigo blue rhombic pattern bottom of the brocade robe, the edge of the robe is densely embroidered with dark gold thread cloud and thunder patterns. Such a brocade robe, in addition to the materials, only the gold pattern of the robe edge requires a woman who is good at embroidery, and it takes three months to finish it. What's more, the leather belt inlaid with white jade pieces with dragon patterns around his waist and the string of glass beads hanging around his waist are all rare treasures in the world.
