Chapter 22: The Tears of the Sea God
Qin Xin leaned closer, but still didn't hear what she said, and asked, "Could it be anything?" "What a piece of wood!" Qiu Miaoxue said angrily.
Qiu Miaoxue originally wanted to say, will you invite your father to come to my house to propose, but you are a little girl's family, how to say this.
"Wood, what wood?" Qin Xin really didn't understand what she meant, and asked with a puzzled expression.
It's no wonder that Qin Xin has been practicing martial arts diligently since he was a child, and there are many girls of the same age in his family, but they are all heroic and generous, so his response to love is relatively slow.
Usually he also reads some books, but at most he only reads some books such as anecdotes, so his reaction in this regard is far less than that of Qiu Miaoxue, who often wanders the market and likes to read some storybooks.
Usually looks at Qiu Miaoxue with a big grin, and acts as if he has no heart and lungs, so he doesn't dare to think about it in that way, although he likes the feeling of being with her very much, but he doesn't know why this feeling occurs, so Qiu Miaoxue said that he is wood, which is not wrong at all.
Qiu Miaoxue really didn't know what to tell him, so she stopped talking, her eyes rolled slightly, as if she remembered something, and took off a red rope from her neck, and two pearls the size of broad beans were tied to the rope, these two pearls were smooth and complete, crystal clear, and they were not ordinary at first glance.
She untied the red rope and took off a pearl, then she found another red rope from her arms, threaded the pearl with the red rope and handed it to Qin Xin.
Although Qin Xin didn't know why, he still took it easily, with a questioning expression on his face.
After Qin Xin took the pearl, Qiu Miaoxue said: "This is the 'Tears of the Sea God', I bought it in the jewelry store last year, I listened to the shopkeeper of the jewelry store tell me, these two pearls have a moving story, are you willing to listen to me?"
"Okay, you can tell me. Of course, Qin Xin would not distract her, and touched the pearl on her hand, and Qiu Miaoxue's body temperature was still on top of the warmth.
Qiu Miaoxue said: "A long time ago, the only daughter of the sea god, turned into a human form, came to the land to play, and in the process of playing, she fell in love with a scholar, and the two lived a happy life together. ”
"Why is the sea god angry? Has her daughter gone back?" Qin Xin hadn't heard this kind of story, so he couldn't help but ask.
Qiu Miaoxue said: "The sea god thinks how can his daughter marry a mortal, he thinks that mortals are lowly, and the sea god feels that his daughter is very ashamed to marry a mortal, so he wants to summon her back."
Of course, the Poseidon's daughter did not want to go back, so the Poseidon threatened her that if she did not return to everyone, the Poseidon would flood the scholar's hometown.
The daughter of the sea god was a kind girl, and she did not want to affect innocent people, so she could only agree to return to the sea. She never cried when she was with the scholar, but before leaving, she hugged the scholar and shed two tears, which turned into pearls and became the 'tears of the sea god'. ”
"This story is really touching...... Qin Xin was a little moved when he heard it, picked up the pearl and looked at it carefully, and said, "Is this really 'Seagod's Tears'?"
"I don't know if it's really 'Tears of the Poseidon', but I paid a lot of money to buy these two beads after listening to this story, and now I'm giving you one. Qiu Miaoxue said.
Qiu Miaoxue has always spent money lavishly, and she actually paid the bill with gold leaves for a meal, and her face did not change, and now she said that the things she bought at a large price must be a lot of money.
Although Qin Xin's family background is also quite solid, but he has been frugal since he was a child, and he has not spent much money, hearing her say this, he hurriedly handed her back the pearl and said, "Miss Qiu, I can't ask for such a valuable thing." ”
When Qiu Miaoxue heard him say this, she raised her head, tears flashed in her big eyes again, and her pitiful appearance made him feel really distressed.
Qin Xin made eye contact with her, and his heart tightened: "Okay, I'll take it first." After speaking, he hung the "tears of the sea god" worn by the red rope around his neck.
After Qiu Miaoxue saw Qin Xin hang up the red rope, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "You have to remember that seeing this in the future is like seeing me, and you must always remember me." ”
"I see, Miss Qiu. Qin Xin's heart moved, as if he felt something and said softly.
Qiu Miaoxue stopped talking, her original intention was, I gave you a thing, should you also give me one, so that the exchange of tokens as said in the book will be for life.
But after waiting for a while, seeing that Qin Xin didn't move, she was not a person who twisted, but she was really embarrassed to open her mouth and ask for something directly, so she had to do it.
She thought for a while and said, "You call me Miss Qiu, I call you Brother Qin, I don't think it sounds good, in the future, you call me Miaoxue, I call you Brother Xin, okay?"
Qin Xin thought to himself, this has been called for almost two months, isn't it quite smooth?
However, he knew that if he didn't say it well, Qiu Miaoxue would definitely shed tears again, so he had to say, "Okay, Miss Qiu...... No...... It's wonderful...... Xue ...... "I don't know why this "Miaoxue" is called so awkwardly, and his face is red after calling.
Qiu Miaoxue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Qin Xin's embarrassing appearance, that smile was really bright and incredible, and the car was full of spring for a while.
Qiu Miaoxue just wanted to say something more, when she heard a fast horse "clucking and ......" coming towards the convoy from a distance, Qin Xin and Qiu Miaoxue heard the sound of horses' hooves in such a hurry, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car to look outside.
Then he saw a fast horse galloping from the direction of the wild sheep slope towards this side.
From a distance, I saw that it was Li Dazhuang, one of the people who was sent out to hunt sheep just now.
Qin Chu also noticed the comer, and shouted at Li Dazhuang, "You haven't been gone for long, why did you come back and forgot to bring something?"
Li Dazhuang beat his horse and walked straight to Qin Chu's side before saying: "Young Master, there is a situation over there, there is a Taoist lying on the ground over there, it seems that he is not dead, we don't dare to make decisions on our own, so Lao Du asked me to come back and ask you what to do." ”
"Daoist, this area of a hundred and ten miles is inaccessible, how can there be anyone? it won't be ......" Qin Chu suddenly remembered something, muttered, and then raised his head and said to Li Dazhuang: "Let's go, take a look." ”
Qin Xin and Qiu Miaoxue heard it well in the car, they both glanced at each other, and they both got out of the car.
"Big brother, I'm going to ...... too" Qin Xin said to Qin Chu after getting out of the car.
"Big brother, I'm going too. Qiu Miaoxue also shouted. Qin Chu is a little strange, why isn't he called "Brother Qin's Big Brother" today.
Qin Chu thought for a while and asked Li Zhuang, "How far is it from here?"
Li Zhuang replied: "It's not far away, about a dozen miles away, but there is a mountain road in front of it that is not easy to walk. ”
"Okay, let's go together. Qin Chu heard that it was not too far away, and then turned back to the executioner behind him and Li Dazhuang and said, "The convoy continues to move forward." Li Zhuang, you lead the way. ”
The convoy continued to move forward, and several of them rode fast horses in the direction of Yeyang Slope.
After walking for about half an hour, in a col surrounded by mountains on three sides, I saw a Taoist lying on the ground, and only Lao Du was guarding beside him.
Before and after coming to him, Qin Chu said to Lao Du and Li Dazhuang: "You don't have to worry about it here, go and catch the sheep." The two said yes and rode away.
Qin Chu and the three of them got off the horse and saw that this person was about forty years old, with a bun on his head, wearing a white Taoist robe, phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows, a straight mouth and nose, and a high-ranking person, with a sharp sword beside him, and there was no trace of blood on the sword.
Qin Chu circled around him, although the Taoist's eyes were closed, but his face was very ruddy, and there was a small pool of black blood on the ground, after helping the Taoist, he found that there was a hole more than an inch long behind him, and the blood had already coagulated, it seemed that this Daoist had been lying here for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still slightly undulating, they might all think that this Daoist had been dead for a long time.
Qin Chu lightly held the shoulders of the Daoist and shouted softly: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief, Dao Chief......"
After screaming a few times and not responding, he said to Qin Xin and the others: "You two are watching him here, I'll go and take a look around." ”
Qin Xin nodded in agreement, and Qin Chu started his light work and walked into the distance.
At this time, the sun of the beginning of autumn was still hot and very sunny, Qiu Miaoxue couldn't bear to let the Taoist be sunburned, and saw some small trees not far away, so she ran to break some branches and leaves to shade the Taoist, Qin Xin took off the water bladder from the horseback and wanted to feed the Taoist some water, but this Dao's mouth was tightly closed, and he couldn't fill it with water at all.
After a long while, Qin Chu came back with a puzzled face.
Qin Xin saw that Qin Chu's expression was wrong, so he asked, "Did the eldest brother find anything?"
"It's strange, there is no trace in the two miles around here, except for the horseshoe prints of us and Lao Du, not even a single footprint has been found, how did this Taoist come over, is it really flying over?" Qin Chu said with some puzzlement.
Speaking of "flying over", the three of them stopped talking, they all thought of the white shadow in Datong Town, could it be so coincidental that this Taoist was the white shadow that saved them.
Qin Chu pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's get the people back first." ”
Qin Chu slowly tore the clothes on the back of the Taoist, washed the wound with water, and then applied some medicinal powder to treat external injuries before putting the Taoist on a horse and slowly rushing towards the convoy.
When the people in the convoy saw that an injured Taoist had returned, they calmed down after a slight commotion.
Qin Chu put the Taoist in the compartment of a passenger car, this big car is very large, and it is no problem to sleep seven or eight people on weekdays.
He lay the Taoist flat on his back before he shouted, "Go and ask Wu to come first." ”
