Chapter 8: The Desert Ballad
There are only two people left in the hall, Ji Liu and Xiliu. Ji Liu said softly: "Even if you don't tell me what I deliberately designed, he will know, so I will still hate you." ”
Xiliu was puzzled: "What I just said, everyone on the streets and alleys knows, what does it matter if he knows?" ”
"What everyone knows on the streets, will he not know? He asked you just to confirm whether the rumors were true or false. If it's true, then it's naturally designed by me Ji Liu. Because he knew that the Ji family didn't have any handkerchief training at all. But you're also smart, it's definitely more useful to find him to settle this matter than to find me, and it is estimated that he will solve it for you in less than two days. Ji Liu poured two cups of tea and invited Xi to sit down.
Keiliu was invited to take a seat, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Why is he so familiar with the affairs of your family, and ............ Seems to be very attentive to you, too? ”
"He was sent by my father to spy on me, and my father was worried that I was messing around outside, so he specially sent such a fierce and vicious man." Ji Liu replied lightly, but he didn't care.
"In this way, it is not easy for Ji Gongzi, but he went out to study a book, and your father specially sent someone to come and see him, presumably, he should have high hopes for you." Xiliu picked up the teacup and dealt with it randomly, but he was thinking in his heart: "This season's family is not simple. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? They don't treat me as well as you treat Xixun, but they expect me to bear great things in the future. Ji Liu also picked up the teacup, slowly took a few sips, his expression was lonely, his eyes were sad, and he immediately lowered his eyes, and then opened his eyes, and then opened his eyes, he was already gone, if it wasn't for Xiliu who had been secretly observing him, he would not have been able to capture his fleeting sadness.
"That son...... Why don't you be happy, you have to play tricks on me like that? Seeing Ji Liu's expression, Xiliu couldn't bear to ask again, so he only changed the topic.
"This one...... I can't remember clearly, maybe at that time, when you belittled me for Xixun, you asked me to hear it, and I was angry with my small belly. Didn't you mean...... Since the son of the Ji family has a stain...... Did you say that? Ji Liu raised his eyes to stare at her, under his long eyelashes, his gaze was deep and shining.
Keiryu quickly turned his face away, avoiding his gaze. She was full of apologies and said: "That matter, it is indeed that I did something wrong, I offended Ji Gongzi here, I heard others mock Xun'er like that, so I was anxious for a while, and I still hope for Gongzi Haihan." ”
"Hmm." Ji Liu lowered his eyes and replied, noncommittal to Xiliu's apology.
Seeing him react like this, Xi Liu's heart was uneasy, so he said: "Master Ji Gongzi has a lot, can you forgive Xi for a certain time, in the future, I will not slander at will." ”
"I'm a small-bellied chicken intestine, I'm afraid I can't be generous." Ji Liuhui.
"That'...... What do you want to do? You and I don't owe much to each other, and besides, your random design has long canceled each other out. I apologize to you, it was to apologize at that time, not now, now Gongzi has also done something wrong, you haven't apologized with Xi? Seeing Ji Liu holding on tightly, Xiliu replied to him coldly.
When Ji Liu heard this, he suddenly asked for a levy, and his eyes were confused. yes, what did he want to do?
On the day she met, she first took a cup of herbal tea and drank it herself, indicating that the tea was non-toxic. After that, he took another cup and brought it to him: "Little boy, do you want to give you a face?"
After a long time, he took the herbal tea from her, drank it, and said, "Good tea"
Receiving the hint, the guards quietly hid the long knives beside them.
She asked again: "Little boy is going to Northern Xinjiang?" ”
He asked rhetorically, "Can this road go anywhere else?" ”
was directly pointed out that she was knowingly asked, she looked a little embarrassed, but she was stunned, so she covered it with a string of light laughter, and echoed: "This is also true."
He didn't bother to respond again, only gulping down the herbal tea she handed over. It is cool and delicious, relieving a lot of the heat on the desert.
After a short while, she continued to probe: "Little boy is going to Northern Xinjiang to visit important people? Otherwise, at such a young age, why would you have to travel thousands of miles and sleep in the open to take such a dangerous road? ”
He turned his head to look at her, grinned, and replied, "Exactly, is my sister too?" ”
She paused and replied, "Ah me, I'm not, I came with my father's order to do some small things at home." After continuing: "I heard that the weather in the desert of Northern Xinjiang is changeable and very dangerous, these days with you, we are much more at ease, little boy, why don't we continue to walk together on the next road and take care of each other?" By the way, if you go along, you will have free herbal tea to drink every day. Afraid that he would refuse, she used her only advantage as bait.
Hearing this, he looked up, turned his head, squinted at her, and then smiled and nodded. Xin said: "It turns out that I have been following for so long because I am afraid." I thought they were plotting against me, but I looked down on these people. ”
"My name is Xunliu, how should I call the little boy?" She was very happy that the goal was achieved.
"Ask the flowers," he replied, then grinned.
In this way, she accompanied him on the road to the north. Walk together through the high slopes made of yellow sand, swim through the green oasis of grass, and the deep forest of cedar trees at the end of the desert, under the towering snow-capped mountains. In the deep woods, the blue and blue waters of the lake are shining with stars.
He didn't know how he would give up, he just didn't want to let her go. The more upset she was, the more he wanted to entangle. It's just that I don't know why, and I can't figure it out.
"That Master Jiang is quick-sighted, and the rumors will be resolved in two days, so you don't have to worry." Ji Liu was bored and didn't know how to answer, so he impatiently returned to the stream to leave a sentence. On his face, he completely lost his usual gentle appearance.
"That being the case, Xi retired." Xiliu is no longer entangled with him, with Ji Liu's small-bellied chicken intestines, she is afraid that if she is not careful again, she will cause a lot of trouble, so she got up and left.
Xiliu led the bird out of Hefeng Xuan, and hurriedly went to Xixun's residence, and was relieved to see that she had returned from Jiangfuzi's side.
She asked, "Then Master Jiang didn't scold you, did he?" ”
Xi Xun shook his head and said, "He didn't do anything, he just told me to put the puppy back in the cage and sent me back." ”
Xiliu was afraid, and instructed: "I see that Master Jiang is really cold, he is definitely not an ordinary person, you don't want to provoke him again in the future." ”
Xixun nodded.
Keiliu then left with the finch.
When she came, Xixun was full of confidence, feeling that no matter what happened today, with her ability, she would be able to solve the matter satisfactorily. But this result cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, and some people promised to come forward to solve the rumors. But she always felt that her fist was not punched, and she felt that she was even more confused, as if she was in the middle of a mountain, and finally cut down the trees in front of her, but ushered in an ocean-like fog.
"No, we have to get out." She secretly made up her mind and stopped thinking.
