Chapter 305: Higher
But in fact, the whistle and the bell serve other purposes on the border.
Originally, it was a person who returned to Xinjiang, and the husband went out to do business or march to war, and when the husband and wife were separated, it was used for the two parties to talk and express their thoughts. If the husband who had traveled far away had come back one day, he would blow the whistle at the gate of his village.
When the lady in the house found that the bell was lit, her stomach was bloated, and relatives and friends who knew him well from the whole village came to welcome him home, which was a beautiful custom on the back side of Xinjiang.
It's just a pity that most of the men who participated in the war never returned, and even those who came back by luck would find that their wives had run away with someone else when they returned home.
Gradually, the whistle and bell were abandoned by the locals, and gradually reduced to being placed on the border and sold as a specialty of the knick-knacks.
At that time, An Jing just looked at this thing and was really interesting, thinking that if it was a marching ambush, it would be a good idea to use this to transmit information and signals, so he brought one back to try first.
It's just that he hasn't actually operated it yet, and he hasn't had time to report it to Murong Lin and Murong Yu, so he gave this thing to Lin Xiao as a voucher for the two to contact.
Although Lin Xiao has also traveled from south to north, he may not understand the meaning of such a cold thing, and even if An Jing has heard of it, he didn't think much about it, and sending it out was just out of fun.
Therefore, sometimes, people who know An Jing have confided in one after another, and they really don't know whether to say that An Jing is too simple or lacks heart.
"Has this thing ever been lit up, why am I not impressed at all? I'm not going to let my guard down to this extent. Lin Xiao smiled, then turned around and looked everywhere for the location of the bell, but quietly flipped through it for a long time, and there was still no receipt
An Jing squinted his eyes, leaned against the door panel with both hands, and said a little helplessly, and a little unhappily: "It's better to wait until you find the things before talking to me, you are not convincing at all now." ”
"I think I put it in the middle of my clothes." Lin Xiao was looking for it, and inadvertently blurted out this sentence, "How could I not find it?" ”
Just a few words subconsciously, An Jing listened, his hands were unconsciously put down, and his face was hot again. never thought that the things he sent to her would be so cherished by her and stored in his personal place, which really moved him a little
It's just that this emotion didn't last long, Lin Xiao didn't feel it in herself, so she went back to the bed where she slept and rummaged on the couch, and finally found the trace of the bell in the corner of the screen where she changed clothes.
The bell rolled all the way down the screen to the corner, covered in dust and cobwebs that had not been cleaned for a long time.
"Found it." Lin Xiao called out in surprise and was about to pick it up, but she disliked that the bell was too dirty, frowned and turned around to wring a wet handkerchief, and then twisted it and put it in the washbasin to wash it.
Then he hung the bell in front of An Jing as if showing off, and smiled innocently: "It turned out to be here, no wonder I couldn't find it?" ”
If it's just an ordinary search, or if you don't say anything, tell yourself that the bell is missing
Trace, he may not be so angry, but Lin Xiao had only given himself expectations before, and now he was facing disappointment, and it was completely unacceptable to call him a couch
An Jing stared at her, angry in her heart, but she didn't know what the reason was, she looked at Lin Xiao angrily. "Since you've found it, then you can keep it for me,"
"If I find out again next time, you see that I can't try again, and I will sue you in front of the princess."
Kindly helped her find the things she sent out, but he had such an attitude, Ling Xiao is not a person who likes to be patient, and immediately pulled the rope with the bell in his right hand, let it bounce back into the palm of his hand, and then stuffed it into his belt, and then she also inserted this retort with his four eyes
"I've said it all, and I didn't mean to, how can you say it doesn't count? I'm telling you that this girl has been playing with you for so long, and it can be regarded as a matter of benevolence and righteousness, you don't want to get an inch, if it's hot, let's just end up together."
"What tricks you have, I will die with me" Wen Yan couldn't help laughing, "I grew up with persimmons, and everyone in the palace knows my character very well, and you just came, and you haven't been with the princess for long, if you really talk nonsense and go out to see, who believes who in the end?" ”
"Then you don't believe what I say, do you?" Lin Xiao followed his words, turned around and sat down on the couch absently, but found that he was standing in place and had not spoken.
An Jing closed his mouth, and he didn't know how to talk to her, he only felt that his mood was a little messy, he stood in a daze for a moment, and walked to the other side of Lin Xiao and sat down.
"Actually, I saw you coming into the city from outside with so many people this morning. I'm here to ask you why you went out in the middle of the night. The palace didn't send me any news, I think it should be okay to come to the city, that is, something is wrong in your yard,"
Lin Xiao was stunned by what he said, and stopped just about to reach out and pour two cups of tea on the table. She pursed her mouth and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes and looked at An Jing very seriously.
"I'm just asking you one thing, I can tell you the truth of the matter, but can I trust you?"
When An Jing heard this, she thought she was bluffing, but looking at her expression and tone, she was a little unconscious. He nodded slowly, and replied very sincerely: "That's natural, I also think that the only person you can trust now should be me, right?" ”
Lin Xiao paused, as if considering how credible what he said, and finally sighed.
It's the hottest time of the day outside. Feng Xiaoyue had lunch with Basheng on the cliff, and the mountain wall was already hot from the sunlight shining in from outside, and even the white water vapor from the sun was faintly seen among the trees and vines on the mountain.
The mountain wall here is too hot, not suitable for people to stay on it for a long time, and the forest behind it is extremely dangerous, and with the scorching of the sun, some toxic gases will evaporate from time to time, like Feng Xiaoyue, a person who came from outside, must be unable to stand it.
After thinking about it, Basheng looked at the cliff walls on all sides,
Only then did he slowly walk to Feng Xiaoyue, who was staying under the tree to enjoy the shade, and squatted down.
"Wind girl, it's not very comfortable to stay in these places, I remember there is a place, even at this time it's quite cool, it's just a little high, I don't know if you want to go"
Feng Xiaoyue was worried, not knowing how to observe the location of the waterway on the map, so Basheng sent her this opportunity and told her how to give up.
"If that's the case, then you can take me over, I'm not afraid of height, I'm just afraid of the feeling of crumbling, since it's on the rocks, I can be a lot more stable."
"I'll just sit there for a few hours, so as not to delay your usual actions, as long as you wait until the sun is about to set, you can remember to come and pick me up, okay?"
"Spend an entire afternoon in such a high place?" Basheng always regarded Feng Xiaoyue as a weak woman who needed to be taken care of, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"I was just thinking of having Miss Wind there for the hottest part of the afternoon, but if Miss Wind said that, it would be too boring for you to be alone. Do you want me to prepare some more food for you and bring it with you? Otherwise, how will you survive for so long? ”
"I really don't need this, my appetite is not so good, just give me a pot of water." Feng Xiaoyue smiled and waved her hand, rejecting his kindness, then thought about it for a while, and then said.
"But you'd better take me up there first, and if it's a good place, I might have to bother you to find a few more things for me, but that's all for me later."
If that place could not have been observed, wouldn't it have been in vain to be so happy to prepare for so many things. Feng Xiaoyue thought about this and told her to calm down quickly.
"That's fine, everything is up to Miss Wind." Basheng nodded and led Feng Xiaoyue to the side of the cliff.
"But that place is really beautiful and cool, as long as the wind girl has seen it, she will like it there, if there is anything else you want, you can tell me at any time, I just run a few more times, just as a workout."
After that, Basheng was afraid that Feng Xiaoyue would not be able to withstand the fright, so he took a strap and tied her eyes. Feng Xiaoyue lay quietly on Basheng's back, only to feel a voice whistling in her ears, and she and him seemed to be swinging between the cliffs, which made Feng Xiaoyue feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
Not long after, the wind suddenly stopped. Basheng put her down gently, and Feng Xiaoyue noticed that she was really stepping on a hard stone under her feet, so she dared to take off the blindfolded cloth.
As soon as you open your eyes, you will see a vast flat land. Because the mountain peaks are so high, those flat lands are far away from the sky, and they seem to be very close to here, and they seem to be separated by 108,000 miles.
Feng Xiaoyue looked at the situation at her feet, so as not to have another accident like in the morning, falling from the house, and then walked to the right, and then lowered her head, and what she stepped on was the waterway she had taken pictures in the morning.
This place seemed to be dozens of feet more noble than the cliff she fell. Feng Xiaoyue didn't have time to rejoice, and she was so fascinated by the height that she could barely see the scenery clearly.
