Chapter 4: The Daughter of Fire Control
Ying Zheng made another trap, but he still put it in the same place, and hid it with the little girl. The little girl curiously wanted to take a deep look outside, but was pressed back by Yingzheng on her head. After some time, a hare came to the door by itself and fell into the trap. Ying Zheng immediately rushed out and stabbed the hare to death with a short knife. The little girl followed Ying Zhengsheng to the edge of the trap, and Ying Zheng took the hare out of the trap and showed it to the little girl.
Ying Zheng said: "You wait, I'll find a way to make a fire, and when it's cooked, we'll have some to eat!" As he spoke, Ying Zheng began to look left and right, looking where he could find tools for drilling wood for fire.
The little girl raised her hand slightly, and a small flame burst out of the tip of her index finger. Ying Zheng saw it and said happily: "Great, now we are on fire again." So you're so powerful! ”
The little girl loves to hear the words, and her face became a little red.
Ying Zheng took the little girl to the west, briefly washed the hare, and then piled up the firewood, and after the little girl helped to raise the bonfire, she wore the hare with a branch and roasted it on the fire, and then tore it in half, and ate it separately. To be honest, the rabbit meat is really not delicious, and the blood in it is not washed and has a bloody smell, not to mention, it has no taste. But both of them were starving, so it didn't matter so much.
Ying Zheng carried his mattress to the edge of the campfire, and sat on it with the little girl with his back against the trunk of the tree and looked at the flowing stream. Ying Zheng asked the little girl, "What's your name?" ”
The little girl had already let down her guard against Ying Zheng at this time, and said in a voice like a silver bell: "My name is Yan Ling'er (Ji described a beautiful adult woman in ancient history, and Yan Lingji was still a little girl at this time, so she couldn't use the word Ji), what about you?" ”
"My name is Yingzheng. Your name is Flame Ling'er, isn't it because you can produce flames? Ying Zheng said.
Flame Ling'er nodded and said: "My mother said, we Baiyue wizards, those who can produce water are called water spirits, and those who can control soil are called earth spirits, because I can control flames, so I am called flame spirits." ”
"Are you from Baiyue? My mother said that I was from Qin. Ying Zheng said.
When Yan Ling'er heard Ying Zheng say that he was from Qin, she was a little unhappy and said, "Hmph~!" So you're the bad guy! ”
Ying Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "I'm not a bad person, I'm a Qin person." ”
"The Qin people are the bad guys!" Yan Ling'er shouted at Ying Zheng loudly: "My mother said, it was our relatives who made us Baiyue people feel north, and killed many of us, and the Qin people are all bad people. ”
Ying Zheng was speechless for a while, so he had to scratch his head and said: "I grew up in Zhao State, and I don't know if I'm a Qin person, since you said that Qin people are bad people, then I'm not Qin people." ”
Yan Ling'er looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Really?" ”
Ying Zheng replied very simply: "Really! If you don't like it, I won't be a Qin person. By the way, what happened to you? Where are you going to go? ”
When Yan Ling'er heard Ying Zheng's words, tears couldn't help but appear in her eyes: "Originally, my mother and I were between the Xiongnu and Yan and Zhao to watch the show for a living, a few days ago, my mother and I were originally selling in the Lakers' horse market, and then people who don't know where they came from began to arrest people everywhere. My mother seemed to know that they were killed by them, so they captured me and sold them to someone who was about the same as the clothes you were wearing. The man put me in a cage with a lot of my sisters and didn't know where to send them, and they robbed me and took me and my sisters away. Those people are even more ferocious and bad, they bully those sisters at night, and kill them during the day to eat meat. They thought I was small, and said that I had no meat, and that they would keep it until the end so that it didn't hurt me. Later, it seemed that they were going to rob more people again, and there was no one to guard them, so I took the opportunity to escape. Where I will go in the future, I don't know. ”
When Ying Zheng heard Yan Ling'er's words, his disgusting stomach couldn't stand it and began to become nauseous, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Ling'er, don't say it, the meat you just ate is shaken and vomited." Aren't you disgusting? ”
Flame Ling'er shook her head: "I'm not disgusting, I'm used to watching it, and I haven't eaten for a few days." You just called me Ling'er, which is very nice, so I'll call it that in the future, right? I'll just call you Ah Zheng, okay. ”
After hearing this, Ying Zheng said: "I call me Zheng'er." ”
Yan Ling'er smiled: "Then I will also call you Zheng'er from now on." ”
"Hmm!" Ying Zheng also thought about it.
Flame Ling'er asked, "Zheng'er, where are you going in the future?" ”
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "I want to go to Qin to find my mother." ”
Yan Ling'er said angrily: "Aren't you not a Qin person!" ”
Ying Zheng saw that Yan Ling'er was angry, and said aggrievedly: "But my mother went to Qin with someone to find my father, I have to go to my mother." ”
After hearing this, Yan Ling'er was no longer angry, looked at Ying Zheng's clothes and said, "Look at your clothes, your father must be a senior official of the Qin State, right?" My mother said that only a high-ranking official can afford to wear such good clothes on you. ”
Ying Zheng looked at the gorgeous silk robe he had put on, and said hesitantly: "I don't know, I haven't worn such clothes before. However, my mother said that my father was the king of Qin. ”
"Ahh Yan Ling'er suddenly screamed, stood up and pointed at Ying Zheng and shouted, "Big bad guy! ”
"I'm not a bad person." Ying Zheng had expected Flame Ling'er's reaction and retorted.
Yan Ling'er pointed at Ying Zheng and said, "You are the big bad guy, my mother said it!" The Qin people are all bad people, the King of Qin is the biggest bad guy, and the son of the King of Qin is the big bad guy! ”
"I'm not a bad person!" Ying Zheng retorted loudly.
"That's it! It is! You're the bad guy! Flame Ling'er said and ran out.
"I'm not a bad person!" Ying Zheng shouted as he got up and chased after him.
The two chased me by the stream, and the quarrel at the beginning gradually turned into a joyful joke. A pair of young men and girls chased and frolicked by the stream to the sound of laughter, and all the dangers and painful experiences of the earlier days ran to the back of their minds.
While chasing and fighting, Ying Zheng finally caught up with Yan Ling'er, hugged her, and the two of them rolled together with a smile. "Ahh Yan Ling'er suddenly screamed in pain, Ying Zheng heard that he hurriedly let go of Yan Ling'er, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, Ling'er!" You're hurt! ”
Yan Ling'er covered her injured foot and said, "It's still on your foot, I touched it again just now, and it hurts badly." ”
"I'll see!" Ying Zheng hurriedly picked up Flame Spirit's injured foot, untied the cloth wrapped on it, and checked it repeatedly. "It's okay, it's just that the wound has been opened again, and it's a little dirty inside. I'll wash you and put it on a new bag. With that, Ying Zheng helped Yan Ling'er to the stream, and cleaned the wounds on Yan Ling'er's feet and the surroundings with his own hands. Seeing that there was still a rose-like blood stain on the side of Yan Ling'er's feet, which couldn't be washed clean, he couldn't help but rub his hand a little and rubbed it twice.
Yan Ling'er was tickled by Yingzheng's struggles, and couldn't help laughing. laughed and scolded: "What are you doing! Such a fool! ”
Ying Zheng pleaded: "I didn't do anything to you, but why can't the blood stains on your feet be washed off." ”
Flame Ling'er smiled and said, "It's not bloodstains, it's a birthmark." ”
"Birthmarks? Why do your birthmarks look like this? Ying Zheng asked curiously, and while asking, he picked up Flame Ling'er's feet and looked at the rose-like birthmark on Flame Ling'er's feet repeatedly.
"How do I know, it's been like this since I was a child." Flame Ling'er wanted to pull her foot back. But he was caught by Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng said: "You wait first, give me that foot too." ”
"You're going to do it?" Flame Ling'er asked, and stretched out her other foot as well.
Ying Zheng cleaned both of Yan Ling'er's feet and said, "Your feet are injured, and walking on the ground with bare feet will open the wound again." I'll wash your feet and put your shoes on. You won't be afraid. ”
Saying that, Ying Zheng put his shoes on Yan Ling'er, but found that his shoes were too big, and Yan Ling'er would fall off at any time when he put them on. "What should I do?" Ying Zheng thought to himself.
Flame Ling'er said, "Forget it." ”
Yan Ling'er said that Ying Zheng suddenly thought of a way: "There is!" "As he spoke, Ying Zheng tore his robe and wrapped Flame Ling'er's feet thickly." All right! It's not much like putting on shoes. Ying Zheng looked at his work, stood up proudly and pinched his waist. But looking at Yan Ling'er's feet wrapped like bear paws, if there was a third person present, he couldn't see what was so proud.
Flame Ling'er looked at her feet, but she didn't feel how ugly they were, she just felt a little guilty and said, "But, your clothes are gone." ”
Ying Zheng said indifferently: "It's okay, this dress is not comfortable to wear anyway." It is not convenient to climb trees. ”
The boy and girl started chatting around the bonfire again, and Huo Ling'er told Yingzheng what she and her mother had seen and heard in the Xiongnu, Yan, and Zhao over the years. Ying Zheng listened fascinated, and Huo Ling'er was also engaged, and it was not until late at night that the two hugged each other and slept together around the bonfire.
