Chapter 113
Under Xue Yang's strong recommendation, Xiao Yezi finally successfully found this job. Of course, she knows that there is naturally Yunxi's exception to allow it, otherwise no matter how much she tosses, Yunxi only needs to turn a blind eye, and she won't be able to do anything. She wanted to thank Yunxi, but for some reason, after a few days, Yunxi was so busy that she disappeared. She is also entangled in official business, and it is inconvenient to wait as long as she did at the beginning, so she can't do it at the moment, so she has to do the work at hand first, and then find an opportunity to thank her.
The equestrian skills of the Tutatar people are indeed unparalleled in the world, and Xiao Yezi only learned the fur, which amazed the horse keepers of Cloud City, and even the master of Yue Jingtang Hall of Feiji Hall came to learn from Xiao Yezi from time to time. For a while, her name has also become a new highlight in the conversation of everyone in Cloudsdale. Everyone knows that the Xiao gang leader brought a little girl who can raise horses, and the war horses of Feijitang are fat and strong, and they are full of energy. Gradually, no one said anything to Xiao Yezi behind his back. There are soldiers who pass by the stables, and occasionally say hello to Xiaoyezi. Xiao Yezi also smiled, very satisfied. Merely...... If Yang Yizhao is also here, it will be perfect.
At night, she lived alone in a small tent, and she would be lonely from time to time. In the past, when I was in Nianfei Village, although I lived alone, at least I had people from the village as companions. But now that Yun Huan has become a sword-wielding messenger, he is so busy every day that he doesn't know where to go, and in this huge cloud city, Xiao Yezi can't find anyone who can talk except for Yunxi, who is quite familiar. But it's impossible for her to talk to Yunxi anymore. After all, he is the helper, and the affairs are complicated, not to mention that the two of them have some memories before, which is really not suitable as a person to talk to. And for him, she is just a hostage, and it is not appropriate to think too much about it.
So she put all her energy into taking care of the spring breeze. If she has insomnia at night, she will take the opportunity to go to the stable to change materials, brush the spring breeze, clean the horses' hooves, etc., so as to chat to comfort the endless lovesickness in her heart. Tonight, she couldn't sleep again, so she put on her clothes and went to the stable to see the spring breeze. She pulled the spring breeze out of the stable, while holding a brush to help it scrub, while gently stroking its mane, looking at it, as if she saw Yang Yizhao, hidden sweetness.
The spring breeze was very comfortable to be touched by her, and she couldn't help but breathe, put her head on her face and screamed softly. Feeling its intimacy, Xiao Yezi smiled softly and said to himself: "...... Why are you so sensible, and you know to comfort me. She suddenly thought of something and smiled softly, "Do you know the spring breeze?" The first time I saw you, I felt that you and Yang Yizhao were similar. The same beauty, the same ...... Conceited and agitated. ”
As if he didn't think it was a good word, the spring breeze wagged his tail, snorted, and snorted arrogantly.
"Are you jealous?" Xiao Yezi hugged Chunfeng's head, leaned on it and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not just you who are jealous, tell you, don't look at me as a girl, every time I see Yang Yizhao, I will actually be jealous...... No way, he's so good-looking, probably ...... He is the best-looking and best-looking man in the world. As she spoke, her eyes became confused, "He is very good at everything, sunny, handsome, smart, and his mouth is very sweet. If you meet him, you'll fall in love with him too. He's such a wonderful man. ”
"But......" she pouted, and couldn't help but smile, "he's not good at all, it's just too flowery." I don't know if he's doing well in southern Xinjiang. This dead man didn't write me a letter, he was really angry. What else do you say wait for me to marry him, maybe as soon as this guy arrives in southern Xinjiang, he will find a good match, where do you remember that there is a girl here thinking about him and thinking about him. ”
The spring breeze snorted again, this time, Xiao Yezi heard a hint of mockery, reached out and slapped it lightly on the nose, and said angrily: "Hey, you are my horse, if you don't stand on my side and condemn this bastard, how dare you laugh at your master?" If you dare to laugh again, be careful that I don't bathe you for three days, it stinks to death. ”
The spring breeze opened its mouth, revealing a row of white teeth, as if smiling. Xiao Yezi couldn't help but laugh when he saw its strange expression: "Laughing spring breeze, laughing spring breeze...... That's what I said. She quickly wiped the spring breeze clean and fed her a few more wild fruits, and then put it back in the stable. She turned to go back to her tent, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly stumbled under her feet, and if she hadn't reacted quickly, she almost fell to the ground. When she looked down, she saw that it was a wooden bow that tripped her, and I don't know which careless soldier had left it here. It was rare to get such a toy, and Xiao Ye was playful, and found a branch from the stable to make an arrow, and made a bow and arrow at a small tree in the field.
Usually watching others shoot arrows easily, when he really got it in his hand, Xiao Yezi realized that archery was also a hard job. Thanks to her physical grappling, her upper body strength was far stronger than before, and she barely pulled the bow away a little. Rao was so laborious that the rudimentary arrow could not be ejected, and only fell crookedly to the ground not far away with the loosening of the bowstring.
Xiao Yezi sighed, picked up the arrow, and tried again. She was concentrating on the experiment when a voice came from behind her.
"That's not how archery is shot."
Encountering such a sudden event in the middle of the night, Rao is bold little leaf, and he couldn't help but jump aside with a scream in fright. Unexpectedly, the person behind her also flashed and grabbed Xiao Yezi, so that she would not be frightened to the ground.
"Scare the hell out of you!" She subconsciously couldn't help but feel angry. When she looked up and saw clearly, her tongue was immediately knotted, and she couldn't swallow eighty bottles of regret medicine: "Yunxi...... Oh no, helper. ”
Hearing that she inadvertently called her name, Yunxi was very useful. Maybe it was the moonlight, Xiao Yezi's white skin seemed to be covered with a faint halo, which made him a little excited, and he temporarily forgot that he should be indifferent: "What are you doing here alone so late?" ”
"Back to the helper, I can't sleep, so I came out to add some grass to the horse......" she subconsciously hid her bow and arrows behind her and smiled.
"Don't hide it, I've seen it all." Yunxi smiled slightly. This girl, with such a small body, still wants to hide such a big bow, it's really whimsical. He reached over her head, dragged the bow from behind her, and held it in his hand: "This is your bow?" You use, it's a bit big. ”
"I just picked it ......up," she just finished speaking, when she saw Yunxi frowning, and hurriedly followed, "Don't blame this soldier for this, maybe he was tired, so he left it here." Tomorrow I will quietly inquire about the ownership and return it to him. ”
Yunxi couldn't help but smile: "When did I say I was going to blame him." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Yezi was dumbfounded, lowered his eyes for a moment, and muttered, "...... Am I spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? ”
"Since you think of me like this...... Ahem...... I'll take the time to hold me accountable, and that's okay. Yun Xi said lightly, but a pair of eyes quietly glanced at Xiao Yezi.
When Xiao Yezi heard him say this, he became anxious, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I really didn't mean that." You are the most tolerant, the most considerate, and the best person in the world, so don't blame that soldier for my words. ”
Seeing her panicked refusal, Yunxi's mood also relaxed - today he was tired all day, and he was dealing with official business. Fortunately, the imperial court allocated spare grain and grass today, plus the batch purchased by Chai Song, and the crisis in Cloud City was finally suspended. It is rare to return early one day, he stepped on the moonlight and prepared to return to the tent, passing by here, but accidentally bumped into Xiao Yezi playing here, so he was playful and wanted to play with her. Now that his conspiracy has succeeded, his heart is indescribably happy, and he has completely forgotten today's labor.
She seems to be ...... I'm not as scared of me as I used to be. That's great.
"You want to learn archery?" Yunxi smiled.
Xiao Yezi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, when I came to the barracks, I saw that everyone was equipped with unique skills, and I wanted to practice a skill." She flattened her mouth and said in a low voice, "But I started too late, if I practice swords, I'm afraid it will take twenty years before I can apply what I have learned." By then, I'll be an old woman, and what will I do with it? ”
Old lady? Fantasizing about her old and virtuous appearance, Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh secretly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but have a smile on her face: "Archery is not an overnight effort, but ......" Seeing that she suddenly raised her head, her little face was full of expectation, and he had a sense of superiority and satisfaction in his heart, and he wanted her to get some help and worship from him, and immediately said softly, "If you really want to learn archery, I have a good thing to lend you." Come with me. ”
Xiao Yezi followed Yunxi all the way to the outside of the boss's tent. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yunxi's couch at a glance, and her body involuntarily tightened. Yunxi glanced at her, and only said lightly: "I'll go get something for you, and you can wait at the door." ”
That's great. Xiao Yezi hurriedly turned around and walked outside the tent to wait. After all, there was still a not very pleasant skin-to-skin relationship, and no matter how relaxed she was, it was impossible for her to completely forget the established memories. If Yang Yizhao was by her side, she would have run away with Yang Yizhao a long time ago, where would she be tortured here. But now that Yang Yizhao is not here, she has been lonely in Cloud City these days, and it is rare to find someone to talk to, who can talk fairly easily, and can learn knowledge and skills, she really doesn't want to turn around and walk away, so she pressed her restless heart and waited at the door honestly.
After a while, Yun Xi came out with a small wooden frame with a strange shape. Xiao Yezi stared at the wooden frame, wondering in his heart - this thing, saying that it is not a bow, but it looks like a bow, saying that it is a bow, but there is an arm-like horizontal wood extending from the bow to hook the bowstring, which is really a strange thing.
Yun Xi saw her cute look with a puzzled face, and smiled slightly: "This is called a crossbow." Let's go to the school practice ground, and I'll teach you how to use it. ”
Before the two of them came to the bow and arrow position in the school training ground, Yun Xi took out a shuttle arrow from the quiver behind him, placed it on the crossbow machine, lifted the crossbow body, aimed at the training target several zhang away, and snapped his fingers. Hearing only the sound of Zheng, the shuttle arrow ejected in response, hitting the bull's-eye in the distance.
I didn't see him pull his bow hard, and with a slight flick of his fingers, the arrow went so far away, which was amazing. Xiao Yezi was amazed, took the crossbow machine and arrows from Yunxi's hand, and played with them carefully, and asked for advice softly. Yunxi said how to use it, and after saying it a few times, Xiao Yezi had already remembered the essentials. I saw her standing still, holding the crossbow to aim, and raising her hand to shoot an arrow at a small target not far away. Although she didn't hit the heart, she was still very happy, and shouted happily: "Hit, hit!" ”
Yunxi doted on her and cheered, a little proud in her heart, and only smiled slightly: "You are very smart." As long as you practice diligently, you will soon get the hang of it. ”
Xiao Yezi was excitedly immersed in the small success at the moment, and even the Yunxi in front of him no longer seemed as embarrassed as just now.
"I think some soldiers are using weapons like this...... It's just that their crossbow machines are huge, and they look heavy and sturdy at first glance. Why am I so small and light? ”
"This is ......" Yun Xi paused, in fact, this was a crossbow machine that he specially made for her, but today, by chance, he "lent" it to her. But he didn't want her to know all this, so he only said lightly: "It's just a small toy that I used to collect, since you have it in your hand, then practice it well." ”
His face was hot, fortunately the night was dark, and Xiao Yezi didn't notice all this, and he was still playing with the crossbow machine with great interest. It's a pity that Xiao Yezi didn't hit again this time, but his left hand that was cut by a shuttle arrow hurt, and he flattened his mouth in frustration: "It's a toy, but it's actually quite difficult." ”
Yun Xi smiled - he could see clearly from the sidelines, and knew that the crossbow machine was shooting, and the posture of the left hand was very important. In fact, the arrow that Xiao Yezi shot just now was purely by chance, and the reason why she couldn't be handy again and again was because she was not in a good posture. Seeing that she was about to strike again, he subconsciously reached over and wanted to straighten her crooked left hand. His hand had just touched the back of her hand, and there was something strange in his heart. But Xiao Yezi was immersed in the practice, ignoring these details, and only shouted: "Why do you always miss the shot?" ”
Yunxi coughed, his hand stopped in mid-air, and said softly, "Don't mind." With that, he took her left hand and led her to adjust. A fragrant fragrance spread from the back of her neck into his breath, making him slightly drunk. Xiao Yezi didn't care about these details, but when he heard him say this sentence that he wanted to cover up, he suddenly felt a little unnatural, and couldn't help but look back at him, wanting to see some clues from his face. But seeing Yunxi standing behind her, although holding her hand, her eyes were cold and condensed, obviously not as charming as she thought, she couldn't help but scold herself in her heart for thinking too much, so she could study with peace of mind.
She adjusted her posture according to Yunxi's requirements, supported the handle with her left hand, buckled the string with her right hand, and shot another arrow!
I only heard Peng's voice, and the grass target in the distance fell in response. Xiao Yezi was ecstatic, and was just about to turn around and thank Yunxi for the virtue of teaching, but when he turned around, there was no trace of Yunxi.
I really couldn't understand the mystery of Yunxi's coming and going without a trace, so Xiao Yezi had to pout - alas, he owes Yunxi a favor again, what should he use in the future?
