CHAPTER XXVII

Until the evening, Chu Muxiu was still hiding in the tent and didn't come out to eat, if it had been left a few days ago, I would have delivered the food to his mouth, but now I think he asked for it.

Qian Che came over to touch me: "Hey, Ah Candle, why don't you go and bring food to my Highness!"

I turned my head and continued to play Mars: "Why do you want me to go, that's your Highness and not my Highness." ”

"That's it, my young lady is not a maid, why should she serve your Royal Highness!" Mo'er was not convinced.

"Isn't it just a bowl of rice, the girl's family is stingy!"

As soon as I heard Qian Che's words, I became angry: "No matter how stingy you are, your Royal Highness is not stingy, don't you just want my life with a broken jade pendant!" ”

"Jade pendant? Did you move the jade pendant on His Highness's waist? ”

"Hmm!" I think it's really what kind of master is like and what kind of subordinates are like.

"How did you move?"

"How did I move, I just deliberately threw it into the river to scare Chu Muxiu, and before I could see it clearly, he snatched it, Your Royal Highness really turned his face and didn't recognize anyone without being scared of a piece of jade pendant!"

Qian Che probably slapped his thigh in a hurry: "But that is the only thing that Concubine Shuniang left to His Highness before leaving, and it is also His Highness's only thought of the late Concubine Shu, His Highness regards it as a treasure and never leaves, let alone move, it is not enough for others to look at it twice!" ”

"What!" I was stunned and the fire stick in my hand fell to the ground, "Then I, then I don't blame him!" ”

On weekdays, I have to take good care of the clothes that Aunt Song made for me, and the only thing that Chu Muxiu's mother left him is really something to cherish with his life.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

"No wonder you and Your Highness haven't spoken for the past two days, it's because of this, Ah Candle, Ah Candle, this is a big deal for you!"

"You still say that it's not to blame your Highness for not making it clear that his mouth is expensive!"

Mo'er and Qianche only said a few words and then started fighting, running around the fire and the tent.

I actually left the last bowl of rice for Chu Muxiu, which was in the pot on the fire, and I took out the rice but fortunately it was still hot.

In fact, I never thought about playing tricks on anyone, but I just wanted to make Chu Muxiu happy, but I didn't want to beat me up. I said so many serious things that hurt him by the river that day, I really wanted to give myself two big slaps. The things he was guarding with his life were being teased like playthings by me, and I quickened my pace at the thought of this.

But when I got to the tent, I was scared again, and after talking to myself for a long time, I made up my mind to go in.

Chu Muxiu was sitting in the tent and was polishing his sword, he seemed to like to wipe his sword very much, in fact, his sword was so clean that it could be seen, but he was still like that, I just felt that he was so bored that he had nothing to do.

"This, this is the last bowl, if you don't eat it, you will have to wait until tomorrow!" I hurriedly went in, put the bowl and ran.

"Ah Candle!"

I stopped, in fact, this was the first time he called me by name, and he had called me once before when he saved me in the fire, but I thought it was Daddy.

"What?" I turned to him and asked.

"Can anyone call Ah Candle by name?" I never thought he would ask me such a question, and never would he struggle with such a question.

"That's not it, only people close to me can call it that!" I think it's a very simple question, so I just answer it casually, and I can't say that I can answer it casually, because that's the truth.

Chu Muxiu was finally willing to put down his sword: "Then you mean that Lu Huai is someone close to you?" ”

"It's not just Lu Huai, Mo'er Qianche, they're all they!" I don't think it's that difficult.

"Wood!" Chu Muxiu actually scolded me for wood.

"Wood is you, not me!" When I said this, he didn't say anything, so I turned around and walked away. In fact, I still hope that Chu Muxiu will not speak, because many times I can't understand what he says.

I opened the curtain and wanted to go out: "Remember to eat that meal, don't be hungry and faint and drag us all down!" ”

"Everyone is in the clouds!"

It wasn't until tonight that I gradually discovered that Chu Muxiu just didn't like to speak, and in fact, his mouth was more poisonous than mine. If I hadn't felt ashamed of Chu Muxiu in my heart, I would definitely go in again and scold him so that he was speechless, and then take out the bowl of rice, pour it into the river and not give it to him.

I actually wanted to take this bowl of rice to compensate Chu Muxiu, but I ran away without saying a few words, I don't know why I couldn't say it all of a sudden, and Chu Muxiu was so aggressive, I really didn't have a chance to say it. I thought that I had been wrong for two days anyway, so it would be okay to find another time to compensate.

I counted on my fingers for six days, and the grain and silver piled up in the tent of Chenjiazhai were distributed to all parts of the border by the soldiers day by day, and I knew that the day when the grain and silver were sent out was the day we returned to the DPRK.

I slept again, and in the morning I was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums. I suddenly remembered that yesterday Xuanwu told me that today is the annual festival of worshipping gods in the village, as the name suggests, it is to worship the gods. The festival is held in early April every year, when the seeds are planted. Xuanwu said that on this day, every household in the village should take out the same food, put all kinds of food together, and then worship the gods in the ancestral hall, so that the gods can bless them with good weather and good life in the coming year, scatter rice and firecrackers, in order to achieve a bumper harvest of crops, and finally put Kong Ming lanterns, which is not only to pray for their own blessings, but also for the gods to see.

I was almost not interested in ghosts and gods, but I liked to join in the fun, so I ran out of the account on an empty stomach.

"Mo'er!"

I ran over and saw only Mo'er and Qianche, and Qianche told me that Chu Muxiu and Lu Huai had gone to the north of the border to deliver relief food, and I didn't know if I could come back tonight. I listened to it and my heart was half cold, I originally wanted to pull Chu Muxiu to put a Kong Ming lantern, and then take advantage of his good mood to make amends to him, but now it's okay and people leave without saying a word. If you go back to Huancheng in the future, not to mention the compensation, it will be difficult to see him. Who is the complaint, if you knew that Chu Muxiu was leaving today, I would have told him sorry last night as soon as I stomped my foot. I saw an empty bowl next to the fire, Qian Che said that it was taken out of Chu Muxiu's tent, I thought that people are iron rice and steel, and Chu Muxiu is not a fool, as long as a fool will let himself be wronged.

Also, Chu Muxiu has never been as fond of fun as me, so I can't find anything to talk to him.

I saw people dancing lion in the village, beating gongs and drums. Grandma Xuanwu told me that there was a drought in the whole village last year, so this year's festival is much grander than in previous years, just to let the gods take care of them more. She also said that thanks to the food we have sent to the whole village, we can not only sacrifice to the gods, but also prepare a batch of good seeds for the spring of next year.

All day long, gongs and drums were beating, until in the evening, every household brought out their own good things. I saw eggs, dates, dim sum, and beef jerky. The village chief put the things sent by the villagers on the table, and the middle-aged men stood at the front, and then the elderly, women, and children. They all held incense in their hands, and then they bowed three times to the big Buddha in the ancestral hall.

We are outsiders, so we don't have to follow their rules, Mo'er and I hid behind the door and watched, in fact, if there was no one, I really wanted to steal a few pieces of beef jerky, but think that it was for God to eat, no matter how greedy my mouth was, I couldn't grab something from God to eat.

It's already dark, but Chu Muxiu and Lu Huai still haven't come back, I think they probably won't be able to come back tonight.

Xuanwu gave me and Mo'er a Kong Ming lantern, Qianche helped me and Mo'er light the lamp, I asked Qianche to go together, but he said that now His Royal Highness and Lu Huai are not in him, and he has to guard in the stockade, and this is a trick played by the girl's family.

I felt that the scenery by the river was beautiful, so I took Mo'er to the river to prepare where to put it, and a gust of wind blew out the lamp in my hand. I was annoyed that a strange wind came from, and the lamp in Mo'er's hand was still on, but it blew out my lamp, which was really disappointing.

"Miss, you help me hold the lamp first, and I will get matches in the village!" Mo'er handed me the lantern, then turned around and ran.

"Mo'er, hurry up!" To be honest, in the middle of the night, there were mountains all around, and I was really scared alone.

But after a long time, Mo'er did not come back, and I sat by the river and waited in a hurry, and there was a lamp shining on me so that I was not so afraid.

"Da, da, da!"

I seemed to hear the horse's footsteps and stood up, and I didn't see it like Mo'er. I was afraid, for I was afraid of some robber and robber, and even more so of a wild wolf or beast.

The man came closer, and I quickly shone it on him with a Kong Ming lantern.

I squinted my eyes, the light was too dim and I barely saw clearly, "That person, that person is Chu Muxiu!" ”

Chu Muxiu grabbed the horse and "drove the ......"

"Wood?" I finally got a good look at his face, and I almost jumped for joy.

"Listen to Qianche say that you are looking for me?" I don't know why I call him wood and he doesn't get angry.

I nodded violently: "yes, yes!" ”

Chu Muxiu didn't plan to get off the horse: "What's the matter with me!" ”

"That, that." I still couldn't speak, and raised the Kong Ming lantern in my hand, "Looking for you to put the Kong Ming lantern!" ”

Chu Muxiu seemed to want to turn around: "This is a trick played by the girl!" ”

"Hey, why are you exactly the same as what Qian Che said, is there a word engraved on this lamp that only girls can play!" I walked over and raised my head and pulled the corner of Chu Muxiu's clothes with my hand, "You can put it with me, this thing is too big to take back again, besides, I have never let you go and help me!" ”

"Well, then!" Chu Muxiu jumped off the horse all of a sudden.

I shook my hand: "But this lamp of mine has been blown out by the wind!" ”

"Give it to me!"

I saw Chu Muxiu pick up two stones, rub them back and forth hard, and after a while, sparks appeared, and Chu Muxiu used a small wooden stick to light the fire My other Kong Ming lantern was lit at once.

"Awesome, you!" I really think Chu Muxiu is deeply hidden.

Chu Muxiu glanced at me: "This is called drilling wood for fire!" ”

I took the lamp: "Okay, okay, the lamp is lit, let's put the Kong Ming lantern together!" ”

"I'm holding the light for me, I can't hold it by myself!" My name is Chu Muxiu.

"Oh!" Chu Muxiu held up a little bit like a dragonfly dotting water.

I couldn't stand it and grabbed Chu Muxiu's hand: "Get closer, I can't hold it steadily!" ”

He and I held the Kong Ming lantern in both hands, and the Kong Ming lantern illuminated my and Chu Muxiu's faces between us, I smiled at him, and he finally glanced at me. We let go together, and then the Kong Ming lantern slowly floated up and slowly rose to the sky, and then flew higher and higher.

There is another one from Mo'er, I didn't put her lamp when she didn't come, and I kept it for her......
