Chapter 17 Donghu Dark Tide 3
They are already preparing to go to Donghu with their baggage, our team brought hundreds of boxes when they came, and they can't take it with them when they leave this time, although Boduange said that he would help us keep it well, but this is all the dowry of His Royal Highness, Zhu Dong and I squatted by the box and counted it over and over again like a miser, we haven't even spent a box of golden melon seeds in these days.
On the day we set off for Donghu, the weather was still good in the morning, and a small Xiaoice fell in the afternoon, but we were riding horses, and for a long time, we were smashed by the hail, and we dismounted each other halfway and found a small village to take shelter first.
We talked to the master in the hall, and when we raised our eyes, we could see the pedestrians in front of the gate, some of the villagers who were hurriedly evading, and some of whom were busy bringing the cattle and sheep back to the pen.
The rain master Chengge told us that the Lost Wei tribe has a fixed passage route, if there is no local people to lead, it is very easy to get lost in the grassland, fortunately this way Bo Duange will walk with us, the people of the small tribe of Lost Wei are very respectful to him and the rain master Chengge, and we are also stained with light.
The hail outside came and went fast, similar to Zhu Dong's temper.
When we completely left the border of Weiwei and saw the serious market, it was already three days later, Zhu Dong went to bed at night and opened my quilt, to see if my crotch was rubbed out of blood like hers, I was so troubled by her that she covered the quilt and blindfolded her.
"If you get to Liangzhou, I will invite you to eat Mingguanglou." She lifted the covers and said to me.
"Mingguang Building?"
Zhu Dong explained, Mingguanglou is a famous restaurant in Liangzhou City, the best thing to eat is the fish spring, the fish in the spring has a child in the belly, it is better to add watercress to fry the wine, and it is delicious to eat with shrimp sauce.
I shook my head, I have never eaten Yuchun, Yuchun is fish roe, there is no such thing in the Southern Wei Palace, it is said that you can't eat the son of the sky, chickens, fish roe are all this kind of things that have not seen the sky. But now it's winter, it's not the coldest time, and it will be a few months when spring arrives, it seems that Zhu Dong has been ready to wait for the envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty in Donghu for a long time, I don't think so, I always think that the Southern Wei Dynasty will soon send someone to meet us, or the army of the Northern Qi, Haohao Tang Tang came to Donghu to meet the princess Jinglu who was blocked halfway.
I said, "My mother said that you can't grow taller after eating this. ”
She was disappointed, "Then you're going to miss out on the deliciousness." ”
After a while, he put his arm around my shoulders and said, "When we enter the realm of the Donghu people, we can always find a place to eat, and I will take you to taste it then." ”
We searched for a new inn during the day, but as soon as we left the disservice, I was inexplicably uneasy, the grass was not under my feet, and it was bare.
Yushi Chengge and Boduange returned late, and we gathered in Princess Jinglu's room to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.
Jimo Yi asked Bo Duange, "Can you send it out today?" ”
He paused to look at me, and then said to her, "Don't bother. ”
I then asked, "Do you want to send out the letters?" ”
"When did I deliver the letter to you?" Princess Jinglu said.
"It's not a letter." The rain master was helpless, "Yes...... It's something else. ”
I want to chase and ask, Zhu Dong stopped me and didn't let me spy anymore, those words came to my mouth and had to be sent back, I vaguely understood that these three people were doing a private matter that excluded me and Zhu Dong and Princess Jinglu, they didn't tell us, and Zhu Dong was not uncommon to participate, but I really wanted to see through their code words, it was always uncomfortable to be divided into another faction.
Outside the inn, there was the sound of a wooden fish, far and near, and I said, "There are still monks at such a late hour?" ”
"It's not a fate, it's a stall selling snacks, and it's dark for fear of disturbing the people, so I hold a wooden fish and sell it." The rain master said with a song.
Boduange took a few sips of tea, put down the teacup and asked me, "Do you want to eat swifts?" ”
"What is a swift?" I asked.
"Wonton." Princess Jinglu whispered.
It's really strange, wonton is wonton, how did it have a new name called swift, wanton was born in the Southern Wei Dynasty as a wonton, born in Donghu became a swift, and orange born in the south of the country for orange, orange born in the north for the orange is indeed the same.
"Is it smashed tender pork?" Boduange and I talked as we walked, and Zhu Dong said that it was too cold outside and she didn't want to go out to blow the wind.
When I got out of the inn, the wind outside really cut people hard, and I was still asking him, "Is it pork stuffing and celery?" ”
"No, it's shrimp stuffing, with chopped green onions and dried vegetables, and I used to like this very much."
We tried to find a leeward table to sit down to, but the stall owner opened the drawer on his shoulder, opened the swifts, and said that they were all eating standing here, and there were no tables or benches.
Boduange asked me if I still eat? I said, "Eat, why don't you eat it!" I couldn't walk anymore because I smelled the scent.
I finished eating a bowl of swifts with him standing, don't look at his tall and big person, eating slower than me is not a star and a half, he closed his mouth and chewed, a swift has to be divided into five or six mouthfuls to eat, and I took a bite at a time, and after a while a bowl was at the bottom, looking back, that night, he laughed with me while eating, whether it was on the grassland, or in Donghu in the future, I never saw him laugh so happily.
He regretted that "it would have been like this forever." ”
"But swifts will get tired of eating too much." I reminded him.
He was interrupted by me, and there were two left in the bowl that he hadn't eaten.
"You're not finishing?"
"Well, I've eaten a lot of dinner."
I shook my head and said, "It's a shame that you weren't born in an ordinary family, otherwise you would have starved to death." ”
He took his chopsticks, ate the rest of his swifts, and put all his soup into his stomach.
He watched me in a daze, holding the bowl and spoon he used, and after eating the contents of his bowl, he said for a long time, "I have never been hungry, but starving to death is a good way to die, better than ...... Most of them are going to come with a good time. ”
"What did you say?" I didn't understand what he meant.
He didn't answer me, I said to myself, "When I go back, I will also make swifts for my brother and mother. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Southern Wei."
"Huh-" He seemed to sigh and smile softly.
I was too young to understand that too often, we didn't have time to say goodbye to the people we loved the most.
Leaving temporarily and leaving forever can only be divided into a brief labor ache and a long dull ache. I even finally realized that it was not that I had not grown up, but that I had never admitted that I had grown up, and I was unwilling to lose the opportunity to be a child, to be coquettish in the eyes of my brother, and to be wild in my mother's arms.
Princess Jinglu sighed to me before she got married, many people will never go back after leaving home, I never thought that I would be one of those many people in the future.
Before leaving, I bought another porcelain bowl, the largest porcelain bowl for the stall owner, and bought a whole bowl of swifts back, thinking that they would be very happy to see it.
I held it in my arms, afraid that the heat of the porcelain bowl would soon be taken away by the cold wind, so I was cautious, and I was afraid that the porcelain bowl would be broken and spilled on the ground.
After walking for a long time, no one around me spoke, and when I turned around, Boduang was still standing not far from the stall, he was some distance from me, and I shouted to him, "What are you still standing there for?" ”
He hurried after me, not speaking again all the way back.
