Chapter 19: Sweetness Under the Moon, Sudden Changes
Brother Chao Getu "haha" smiled and said, "Of course! My family Qiqige is the most beautiful Qiqige on this grassland! β
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Qiqige had already brought 'milk' tea, fried rice and all kinds of 'milk' food on the small table. She put the little table down and said, "You drink tea first, and I'll serve you 'meat'!" β
I poured out three bowls of 'milk' tea to Brother Getu, and I ate 'milk' food, drank mellow 'milk' tea, smiled unconsciously, and occasionally secretly fed the lamb a little sour 'milk' oil.
When Sister-in-law Qiqige brought the 'meat', Brother Chao Getu immediately poured a bowl of mare's milk wine for one of us, and he raised the bowl and said, "You are here today!" I'm so happy! It's a pleasure to have a guest! Come on, come on! We've got this bowl done! β
The fourth master and I both raised our heads and drank it, put down the bowl, and I smiled: "The horse 'milk' wine brewed by my sister-in-law is really delicious!" β
"Haha! We 'Mongolian' ancient people love guests like you! It's like being in your own home! Eat 'meat'! β
"To the master." I picked up the knife and skillfully cut a piece of 'meat' and handed it to Brother Chaogetu.
cut another piece and handed it to the fourth master, and finally cut off a piece for himself.
We ate 'meat' and drank wine, and after a while, we stood up and said, "Happy today! I'll sing you a song! β
He spoke with a long melody of Humai, and I hadn't heard anyone sing it for a long time, and tears filled my eyes. After singing a song to Brother Getu, I secretly wiped the corners of my eyes, picked up the bowl and said, "Big Brother sings so well!" I salute my eldest brother with a bowl! β
"Good! Let's do it! β
When the fourth master saw that I was happy, he didn't stop me, but only cut a piece of 'meat' for me from time to time.
Sister-in-law Qiqige walked in with a copper basin of noodles and said, "Eat some noodles while they're hot!" I got up and helped her up, and she smiled and said, "Sit down and give me the bowl!" I'll serve you noodles! β
She smiled and said, "Your man is so good to you, he almost never takes his eyes off you." β
I was about to open my mouth to argue, but the fourth master preemptively said: "The relationship between the eldest brother and sister-in-law is also very good!" β
Sister-in-law Qiqige's face turned red, and she smiled embarrassedly, the fourth master cut a piece of 'meat' and fed it directly to my mouth, and I quietly continued to fill the temple of the five organs.
The noodles made by Sister-in-law Qiqige are really fragrant, and the noodles made in the herdsmen's house are actually very simple, white water, mutton 'meat', noodles, salt and a little green onion 'flower', but the taste can be made, which is very much my liking.
While eating noodles, the fourth master suddenly said, "Can my sister-in-law sing?" β
Sister-in-law Qiqige was about to shake her head, but Brother Chao Getu smiled and said, "My Qiqige sings, which is better than larks!" β
"What are you singing with your brother and sister-in-law?" The fourth master smiled and requested, and I nodded in agreement.
Brother Chao Getu took his wife's hand, looked into her eyes affectionately and sang: "The fifteenth moon has risen to the sky!" Why are there no clouds next to it. I'm waiting for that beautiful girl, why don't you come here yet. β
The sister-in-law blushed her cheeks, looked at her lover, and sang, "If there is no rain in the sky! Begonia 'flowers' don't bloom on their own! As long as you wait patiently, brother! Your sweetheart will come running over you! β
That day, at Brother Chaogetu's house, the fourth master and I were very happy. Before leaving, I took off the white 'jade' earrings I was wearing and gave them to Qiqige's sister-in-law as a memory, these earrings were ordered by me in a jewelry workshop in Beijing, and a small "Luo" word was engraved in the silver-filled place.
After my sister-in-law accepted it, she insisted on giving me a silver ring with a complicated pattern on it, and my sister-in-law said: "You keep this, in the future, no matter where you are, you will be my sister!" β
Leaving Brother Chaogetu's house, the fourth master took my hand and walked slowly. It was already dark, and the moon was shining brightly in the sky. I looked up and suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm thinking, poets are so crepe, sometimes they will write sentences that feel cheesy but not naΓ―ve."
The fourth master stopped, frowned slightly and looked at me, I smiled and said, "Look at the moon, it's round and bright, it's hanging there." Li Bai didn't write 'I don't know the moon when I am young, and I call it a white 'jade' plate. I suspect that the Yaotai mirror is flying in the blue clouds'. I just looked at the moon, and suddenly felt that it was really 'quite like' the earrings you gave me during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 47th year! (Please see the Mid-Autumn Festival Special Chapter)
The fourth master really looked up and replied to me seriously: "It's 'quite like'." After that, he lowered his head and asked me: "I just remembered, I didn't ask you, are the mooncakes delicious?" β
I thought of the five-kernel mooncake given by the fourth master, and I couldn't help frowning, but my heart was sweet, and I said with a smile: "Fourth brother, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I will also give you one." Taste it yourself! β
"I don't like sweets!"
"I'll make you salty!"
"Okay, I'll eat what you make." After he finished speaking, a sly smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and I realized what I had said, so I smiled and said, "Wait!" I'll make a big five-kernel mooncake! See if you eat or not! β
"I'll finish what you do!" It's rare for the fourth master to smile so gently, I stupidly let him take my hand and continue walking, and only after a while did I mumble softly: "You sent it, so it's not very palatable......"
The fourth master was stunned for a moment, came back to look at me, pinched my face lightly and said, "Blush." β
I didn't think about it, as soon as the fourth master's voice fell, a dark arrow grazed past the two of us, the fourth master hurriedly protected me in his arms, and looked around vigilantly, the terrain on the grassland is open, such a dark arrow should fly from a high place. Looking around, there is only the possibility of ambush in the woods not far to the northwest.
But is it to escape? Or do you want to catch up?
I looked up at the fourth master, and he seemed to be thinking about whether to meet the enemy, or to ride the black moon and run back. Now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. Run...... Will you be able to dodge these arrows?
The fourth master asked me in a low voice: "'Jade' ice, are you afraid?" β
When I heard this, I already understood that he and I were thinking the same, and I smiled and said, "With the fourth brother here, what am I afraid of?" If it is true that we don't have that good life today, wouldn't it be 'good' to die together? β
"You can laugh at this time, you kid." As he spoke, he grabbed me tightly with one hand and ran towards the woods with the short knife he was wearing in the other.
Should I say it's luck? The arrows flew by, but they never hurt us. Several black-clad assassins burst out of the woods, their swords gleaming. The fourth master stopped, looked at me and said, "I will protect you!" β
I took out a small pistol hidden on my body and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I will never be a burden to you!" β
We looked at each other and smiled, and the fourth master and the assassin were in close combat. I clenched the gun in my hand tightly and silently thought in my heart: You must shoot accurately! Be sure to hit it right!
Raise your hand, aim, pull the trigger. An Assassin falls to the ground.
I hurriedly reloaded the bullet and scolded in my heart: Fuck, why is it loaded with this broken gun that had to be loaded once for one shot with Kangxi Ye that day. As I loaded my side, I saw three assassins surrounding Si Ye, and the other three were already coming at me, so I hurriedly shot down one of them again and continued to reload.
The fourth master only had a short knife in his hand, and he was gradually overstretched against the three assassins. I loaded my bullets, looked at the two assassins who were getting closer and closer to me, raised my hand and knocked down the assassin behind the fourth master, and quickly got up and fled.
As you run, load the last bullet you are carrying, take aim, and 'shoot' it.
