Chapter 10: The Thoughts of the Three
In the evening, Wei Shuo came back from drinking tea, and saw Yi Xue writing and humming a little song.
He knew that Yi Xue had been watching some things about men and women recently, and thought that she had also opened her mind and had her own lover, leaning against the door frame, showing a fatherly smile.
Before dinner, Yi Xue wanted to wash her face, so she specially brought a basin of water to the yard, and when the water surface calmed down, she wanted to see her appearance clearly by the sunlight and the water surface.
Wei Shuo saw all this in his eyes, and Yi Xue didn't know if it was because he hadn't looked at himself for too long, and he really saw it, but he didn't notice it.
At this time, Rong Tian also took the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the courtyard, and after setting up the dishes and chopsticks, he also looked in the direction of Yixue.
Yi Xue vaguely saw her own appearance, she was the same as her mother, her smiling eyes were crooked crescents, Yi Xue thought to herself, I don't know what her mother looked like when she broke the melon, she was thinking about it, and found that there were two drops, black things were smeared in the clear water, and Wei Shuo's laughter came from the top of her head.
"Yo, I didn't expect our Tao Xi girl to be so enchanted by something other than ink that her mind would be turned upside down." Wei Shuo said.
Yi Xue came to her senses, she was flushed by Wei Shuo's laughter, she couldn't speak at once, clenched her little fists, Wei Shuo couldn't stop laughing, Yi Xue had no choice, and in the end, she had to pick up the basin and splash it at him.
"Hahaha!" Wei Shuo's laughter became even more wanton, and when he saw that Yi Xue was about to splash him with water, a spirit of excitement hid behind Rong Lean.
Yi Xue was so angry that she picked up the vine hemp next to her and was about to chase him, shouting in her mouth:
"Wei Shuo, you liar, didn't you say that your leg is not well? How can you run so fast and you stop! ”
Rong Tian stood in place, letting the two of them laugh and scold, and he couldn't help laughing
It had been a long time since he had seen a scene like this.
The two of them chased and laughed in their ears, and an unknown emotion came to his heart, and the last time he was in such a mood was not how long ago was, it should have been when he heard the camel bell of the caravan when he was a child and galloped out.
Rong Tian is the child of Ulan Khan, but because of his strange eye color, he was considered ominous by the shaman of the tribe, and in an instant he changed from a high prince to a broom star on the edge of the family, and his mother also left him, and he grew up with the burning Iji.
In addition to Iji, the clansmen thought he was a monster and a beast, and they never looked at him directly, and they avoided him all the time, avoiding him, and the only thing that liked him was the Dayu merchant who occasionally visited the tribe.
For the people of Dayu, everyone in the Ulan Kingdom is a bearded face, and Rong Tian is the same in their eyes. Moreover, Rong Tian has a strong physique, often takes the initiative to help them carry things, and sings songs to them when they are idle, and over time, they are more popular with businessmen.
Later, the merchants would give him some food, picture books and other things as a thank you, and it was at that time that he learned Chinese characters.
However, Rong Tian will grow up day by day, Iji will gradually grow old, and the caravan will eventually leave, leaving only the long yellow sand and Rong Tian's crying......
Later, the elder khan's younger brother, Rong Tian's uncle, succeeded to the throne, and the new khan was close to Han culture and treated the Han people equally, and Rong Tian learned Chinese characters better than the other brothers, thus gaining favor again.
Just when Rong Tan thought that he could finally be reused and be able to honor the fire Iji, some of the brothers secretly stumbled Rong Tan, and the new khan began to alienate him.
Then Iggy died, and the only man who blessed him died.
Rong went to ask the new khan to ask the shaman to chant for Iji, but the new khan sternly refused.
Rong Tilt went to ask the shaman again, the shaman avoided it, Rong Tilt knocked his head outside, and finally the shaman was unbearable, so he reluctantly made it difficult and sent the driver in charge of the god car to let him go with Rong Tilt.
Since then, Rong Tian has become a person again, and he has become more silent. He kept the company of the cattle and the sheep, and slept with the moonlight.
I used to think that there would be no more things to make him happy, and that there was no going back.
But today, it seems to have appeared again, no matter how small.
Rong Tian, he hadn't heard laughter for a long time......
After dinner, Yi Xue took the initiative to confess to the two of them about participating in the Lotus Picking Festival as a woman.
However, Wei Shuo objected.
Yi Xue somewhat understood that Wei Shuo should be worried about her safety.
But what surprised Yi Xue was that Rong Tian, who was usually in the same camp as him, actually objected.
Yi Xue's excitement in the afternoon was instantly extinguished by these two people. Not wanting to argue, she turned and went back to the house angrily, leaving the other two to look at each other in the courtyard.
Wei Shuo didn't expect that Rong Tian actually had the same idea as him in this matter, and couldn't help but look at Rong Tian differently, curious about the reason, so he asked bluntly:
"Hey, boy, why would you object?"
Rong tilted his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Then why are you opposed?" ”
Wei Shuo was taken aback, seeing that this kid is usually silent, but his words are amazing, and he was suddenly asked by him, Wei Shuo was speechless for a while, and he was a little uncomfortable, originally he just wanted to trap his words, but he ended up putting himself in.
Wei Shuo pursed his lips and said as if he was playing tricks: "I asked you first, you say it first." ”
Rong Tian was not rigid in order, and began to tell the scene of the first time the maid of the county official's family looked for Yi Xue that day, from her initial vigilance and uneasiness, to later more nervousness, but when she heard that it was the eldest lady's maid, she instantly relaxed.
At that time, Yi Xue's panic, nervousness, and abnormality were all seen by Rong Tian.
"So there was something like this when I wasn't there." Wei Shuo nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "Don't look at her disrespectful to me now, but when I first met Tao Xi, she was only nine years old, fainted on the street, although she was not injured, she hadn't eaten for several days, and her face was not a little angry, which was even worse than when you came." ”
Wei Shuo seemed to be immersed in the scene when he first met Yi Xue, and after a while, he continued: "That girl woke up after that, and she didn't speak for two whole months. I guessed what she had been through, but I thought she shouldn't have wanted to mention it, so I didn't ask her. ”
Then, Wei Shuo beckoned to Rong Tian, motioned for him to lean in, and whispered in his ear: "I knew you would be curious, so I will tell you, a few days before she came to town, although she didn't see a corpse in the eastern suburbs, there was blood on the ground, and the matter was hurriedly covered up by the government." ”
In fact, Wei Shuo didn't finish his words, and the neighbors spread that they were all from the government.
The world was not peaceful at that time, since the first emperor was seriously ill, there were wars every year, and the princes from all over the country rose up and took turns to control the court. At that time, the child who was hunted down was not the daughter of the prince or the heir of an important minister, and it may also be someone in the palace.
Besides, Wei Shuo has also seen her.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuo couldn't help but sigh that he had a unique eye and left the land of Yuchen on the eve of the turmoil. Although I really want to show off in front of Rong Tian, I still have to give up after thinking about it.
Rong listened very carefully and nodded from time to time.
Wei Shuo's words just now further confirmed his conjecture - Tao Xi is not an ordinary person.
The two looked at each other, thinking about something similar. Tao Xi is likely to be a poor child who survived the war, she is afraid of the official family, does not wear women's clothes, and has been trying her best to hide something.
This night, the three of them had their own thoughts, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully.
