Chapter 8 The First Snow Is Coming
The north wind is raging across the land, and winter has arrived.
In the early morning, birds frolic in the woods, squeaking and chattering non-stop. When the first rays of morning light entered the wooden house, Xiao Jingyi woke up, and when he saw that the woman next to him was still asleep, he gently covered her with a blanket, replaced the charcoal fire, and went out to work.
When Qingning woke up, there was no one in the house, the charcoal fire had burned out, and she couldn't help but feel a little cold. After recuperating for a long time, the wounds on her body began to heal, and she woke up today feeling better.
Just as she struggled to get up, and her feet were just about to stand up, her eyes suddenly blackened and hit the table beside her, and there was a crackling sound in the room, and she fell to the ground in pain, thinking that she was really sick like a mountain, and sick like a thread.
Soon, the man pushed the door and rushed in, he looked worried, and when he saw her from the ground and was about to get up, the man ran in and helped her up and carried her back to the couch.
This was the first time Qing Ning saw his face clearly, and was startled by a tattoo on the corner of his eye, her pupils suddenly dilated, thinking that he had been tortured! Tortured by ink!
The man probably noticed her gaze, put her gently on the couch, and then turned around and went out.
Is he a slave to sin? What had he done before? It can't be a murder, right? Qing Ning began to guess, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
The man came back, and the place where he had the tattoo before was covered up by him with ink, Qing Ning was a little weak and didn't dare to look directly at his face, maybe he cared a lot about the gaze of others?
"It's good to recuperate, don't move." The man's clear voice sounded in his ears.
Qing Ning pursed her lips and kept tilting her head to look at him.
The wind was blowing outside, the temperature plummeted, the charcoal fire in the house was still enough, but I could still feel some chill, and there was a sudden crackling sound on the roof, as if it was raining, but this sound was so clear, not like the sound of rain.
"But it's snowing?" Qing Ning asked him.
"Hmm." He replied lightly.
It is sleet, it rained early this morning, the snow here is not as good as Jin'an, the heavy snow of Jin'an can cover the roof of the entire royal city, thick, one foot can not enter the ankle, and even more can reach the calf, so the winter of Jin'an, is a white and vast snow scene, the snow presses the plum branches, the rime hangs on the tree, encounters the sunshine, crystal clear.
"Can you go out and have a look?" Qing Ning was still a little fragile, she lowered her head and asked timidly.
So, the man wrapped a thick blanket around her body, Qing Ning saw his serious appearance, couldn't help but be shy, because the man's breath occasionally fell on her neck, itchy, he wrapped the blanket for her, and then picked her up, so shocked that when Qing Ning wanted to hug him tightly, he found that he was wrapped tightly and couldn't move.
The moment the door opened, a chill hit, and Qing Ning closed his eyes coldly. The man put her on the chair in front of the door, and when Qing Ning sat down, he saw the scenery in front of him.
It's beautiful.
The wooden houses are built in the valley, and as far as the eye can see, the green forests are layered with white at the tops, and when the rain stops, the fine snowflakes are falling one after another, and they look delicate.
If you plant another plum blossom, it will be excellent.
"The snow here is different from that of Eguri." Qing Ning glanced at him and said.
The man was silent, and suddenly asked with a bad face, "Where?" ”
"The capital of the Eternal Dynasty, the ancient day." Qingning said with a smile, her smile was like a cold plum in winter, and it was the first time Xiao Jingyi had seen her who was sick and weak with such a gorgeous smile.
After that, she put away her smile and asked him again, "I don't know where your hometown is?" ”
Qing Ning was stunned, the man seemed to be a little excited, holding back his anger, only to see him turn around and enter the wooden house, and slam the door shut.
Xiao Jingyi leaned against the door, his hands were clenched, the green tendons on his face were bursting up, and his lips were pursed, thinking that he had actually saved the enemy's daughter. Xiao Jingyi smiled bitterly, that was Jin'an, that was his hometown, his home country, it was the Di people who robbed him of everything and killed his blood relatives! He blamed himself, angry, but overwhelmed.
On that day, he was escorted down by the soldiers, thinking that he was saved, but he was tortured in ink, and spent so many years with the mark of shame, once he was proud for a long time, noble, and invincible in Jin'an City, but now he can no longer raise his head.
As he was being escorted out of the city by a prisoner's car in prison clothes, the head of his father hung from the gate of Jin'an, and he broke down and cried loudly. The people of the Yu Dynasty were deeply blessed by Emperor Yu, and they also gathered at the gate of Jin'an, kneeling and crying and screaming.
When the people saw that the three highnesses of the Yu Dynasty, who had been in a glorious place, were escorted out of the prisoner car in embarrassment, they changed the scenery of yesterday. The people cried and tried to hijack the prisoner's car, but they were stopped by the soldiers.
On that day, he was very glad that the people did not shout his identity, but shouted to the soldiers: Get out of Jin'an! Get out of Jin'an!
After staying for a long time, Qing Ning felt so cold, and he didn't understand why he was angry, thinking that it would be difficult...... Is he a member of the Yu Dynasty? She was surprised, the tattoo on his face was not ...... It seems that she can't mention Yongchao anymore.
The door creaked, Xiao Jingyi walked out, and after hearing her sneeze several times, he couldn't help but walk out, walked towards her with a cold face, and then picked her up, turned around and walked into the house, and gently put her on the couch again.
Qing Ning looked embarrassed, he didn't dare to look at him when he was in his arms, and now he was lying on the couch and didn't dare to speak.
In the afternoon, smoke rose from the wooden house, which was very small and had no eastern kitchen, so I had to cook meals in the hall. But the sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs. The room is full of all kinds of things, Qing Ning looks very warm, even fireworks, she loves this place more than the empty dormitory.
The figure of the man was busy in front of the stove, he was handling a small fish the size of a palm, preparing to make delicious fish soup, the snow was still falling outside, and the charcoal fire was burning inside, and it was very warm.
After a while, the meal was cooked, Xiao Jingyi brought the food to the table and shouted to the woman on the couch.
Qing Ning lifted the blanket on his body and went to bed.
He said no more, his face was silent, and the two of them ate quietly.
Qing Ning wanted to break the silence, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to lower her head and drink the soup. She has always had a bad appetite, after all the way around, her body is extremely poor, and she has lost a lot of weight, and after drinking a bowl of fish soup, she can no longer eat, so she has to put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Xiao Jingyi glanced at her, picked up her bowl and handed it to her.
Qing Ning pushed the bowl away and shook his head.
"Drink it." Xiao Jingyi didn't allow her to refuse, and pushed the bowl back.
Qing Ning had no choice but to drink the porridge raw.
The winter night quickly swept over the forest, and the stars were especially bright in the night sky, and the snow did not fall much today to cover the entire mountain. The mountains and forests are particularly quiet, and there are no more birds, only the muffled chirping of insects.
After Xiao Jingyi boiled the hot water, he walked out and let the woman bathe in the house.
He looked up at the night sky, thinking of Jin An all the time, he missed his father and brother. But this is all over, he tried to forget, but when he heard the woman talking about the capital of the Yong Dynasty, he wanted to tell her, it was not Egu Ri, it was Jin'an, that was the most prosperous capital of the Yu Dynasty.
After a long time, the woman finally finished bathing, Xiao Jingyi walked into the house, he also wanted to bathe, but he couldn't let the woman wait outside the house, the weather was very cold, and her body couldn't stand it. He had no choice but to pick up a piece of linen and hang it in the corner of the house to cover it.
Qing Ning's ears couldn't help but turn red when she heard the sound of water, and she imagined in her mind the scene of the man taking off his robe and standing there naked, scooping up water and splashing it on his body.
Late at night, this was the first time since Qing Ning woke up that she realized the fact that she had been sharing a bed with a strange man. She lay on the back of the bed, stiff.
After Xiao Jingyi packed everything, he lay down next to her and his clothes, maybe he was straight, after a long time, he had long been used to sleeping with her, and he didn't have any crooked thoughts.
The house was dark, Xiao Jingyi had already changed the charcoal fire, and there was no candle in the house, so at night, only some firewood was burned to make the house have some firelight.
Qing Ning always felt that the man was very close, his breath was particularly clear in her ears, she turned around and carried him, it was inevitable that she was a little cramped and difficult to sleep.
"I don't know...... What to call you. A voice broke the silence in the room.
"Yu Qing." Xiao Jingyi said, this was originally the word given to him by his father, Yuqing, Yuqing, his father wanted to give him the word "Yuqing" when he was crowned, which means that the country is Yuqing, but after all, before he was crowned, the Yu Dynasty died.
"I ...... Qingning. She said.
The man behind her sneered softly, and she turned to look at him in some confusion.
"The princess should change her name." The man propped up his head and said to her.
Qing Ning's face suddenly turned red, they were really close, why was this bed so small, and looking at his face in the night, it was extremely good-looking.
"Because he is not yet ready, my father the king ...... I, Abu, did not give me a word. Qing Ning replied that their Di people are a people on horseback, and they don't pay much attention to words.
"How's Jingjia?" He said, "He told Wei He, Dou Jingjia." ”
Qing Ning didn't understand when he heard it, so he only said in a daze: "Okay." ”
