Chapter 132: Fleeing to Southern Xinjiang
I looked at King Yu, and suddenly he laughed, and he looked at me and laughed, and he laughed, and the two of them giggled in the carriage like fools.
Maybe it's because what happened just now is too exciting, or maybe what's going to happen next is too unknown, and suddenly we laugh heartily as if we've done something very exciting.
Perhaps, at this moment, life has a confidant.
I looked at King Yu, King Yu looked at me, I don't need too many words, just one look, we can see through each other.
I suddenly thought of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, accompanying you to the region is rampant, but that's what it is, and even a word of thanks seems redundant. If I can still return to Chang'an, if I can still play the piano, then I must play a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" for Su Zheng.
"Come on! Let's have a bite to eat! King Yu picked up the baggage in the car and turned out a few pieces of dim sum from it, "Our carriage is not fast enough, and it is estimated that it will not be able to reach the southern border until the early morning of the day after tomorrow, so we must save our strength." ”
I rolled up my sleeves, reached out and pinched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into my mouth, for the sake of the prince, I didn't eat lunch, and now it was almost time for dinner.
I don't eat it, I don't think it, just a piece of pastry is in my stomach, my stomach is hungry, and what responds to my stomach is the stomach of King Yu, it is estimated that he has never been hungry when he is so big, and his stomach is also resisting fiercely at the moment, expressing his dissatisfaction.
I listened to the sound of his stomach and laughed again, I don't know why, I just felt so happy today!
I felt like something in my body was slowly resurrecting, maybe running, it was originally something in the blood of the Northern Desert people.
Laughing and laughing, I choked on the crumbs of the pastry and coughed violently.
King Yu sat down and patted me on the back, and took the kettle, he unscrewed it and handed it to me, "Don't patronize and laugh!" Look, it's choking! Come, drink some water! ”
I picked up the kettle and poured it twice, and it was slightly better, and suddenly I realized that our two days' rations were only a pot of water.
"We only have a pot of water?" When I said this, half of the water in the pot was already in my stomach.
"We only have a pot of water?" King Yu shouted loudly according to my words.
The driver who was driving outside immediately replied: "Back to King Yu, time is in a hurry, I didn't have time to prepare!" But we'll be on until tomorrow morning, passing through populated places, and we'll be ready to resupply at the inn! ”
When I heard his words, I immediately put my heart back in my stomach, picked up the kettle and drank it all.
"Hey!" King Yu hurriedly stopped, "You leave me a little!" My mouth is so dry! ”
I shook the empty kettle and said innocently, "No, I've drunk it all!" ”
King Yu looked at me helplessly, then looked at the kettle in my hand, angrily stuffed two mouthfuls of snacks into his mouth, turned his head and pushed open the window on the carriage, as if to find a water source.
I patted him on the shoulder and pulled him back, "I said can you bear with it?" If you don't drink water for a while, you won't die! We're in a hurry now! ”
The boss of King Yu reluctantly retracted his head and pointed out the window, "We have already left Chang'an City!" It's a wilderness now! But when will we get to where we go next? ”
Suddenly, the coachman stopped, and King Yu and I immediately sat up straight, frightened. It can't be the people of the concubine who are chasing after it, right?
"His Royal Highness King Yu." The coachman was outside reporting.
My face turned pale, and my heart rose to my throat.
King Yu looked at me, his face became solemn, he was suspicious, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”
The coachman said slowly: "King Yu, there are two roads in front of you that can lead to Huizhou, one is a relatively close path, but the road is relatively desolate, there are no people, and the other is an official road, there are official posts and villages along the way, which one are we going to take?" ”
The two of us looked at each other and immediately sat down in the car with rolled eyes...... A false alarm...... This coachman doesn't carry such a scary, does he?
But being so frightened by him, I woke up instantly, we have to speed up and hurry, otherwise, the people of the concubine will catch up sooner or later.
"Take the path! The sooner the better! I said to the driver.
King Yu looked at me stunned, and said faintly: "My water ......"
I smiled at him, "Second cousin, or you can bear with it any longer, isn't it just a saliva, tomorrow we will arrive in Huizhou, drink as much as you want!" ”
King Yu looked at my courteous expression and looked me up and down with no trust at all, "Are you sure?" ”
"I'm sure!" I'm more sure than the sun is setting in the west tonight.
"Okay, take the path." The Yu Dynasty said to the coachman, and the coachman whipped the horse, and the carriage creaked and continued to move forward.
The path was not smoother than the main road, and it was a little bumpy to walk on, but after walking down the path, the shade of the trees on both sides blocked the sunlight, and it was already evening, and the sky was gradually getting dark.
In the midst of the turmoil, I actually felt a little sleepy. But because the bumps were so bad, I couldn't sleep again.
King Yu looked at me twisting and uncomfortable, and asked softly, "Do you want to tell the coachman to slow down?" ”
I waved my hand, frowned, and said, "No need, everything is premised on being in a hurry now." If we can't get to the southern Xinjiang barracks on time, then the problem is big. ”
King Yu lowered his head and groaned slightly, sat down next to me from the opposite side, patted his shoulder and said, "Come, if you are tired, just sleep for a while!" ”
Is that good? I looked at him hesitantly, I don't know whether to borrow his shoulder, although men and women don't kiss, but he is my brother, these days with him always feel that the two of us have crossed the boundaries of gender, and I do sit now with neck pain and back pain.
"What? If you can't do it, don't hold it hard, men have long shoulders just to give women to rely on, this is called making the best use of things! King Yu reached over, put my head on his left shoulder, and began to close his eyes and recuperate himself by leaning on the back compartment.
His logic is really unique enough, I see that he has no embarrassment at all, and he is no longer embarrassed in his heart, he leans on it steadily, and his whole body relaxes.
As the night wore on, there was only a little moonlight in the car, and the carriage was bumpy, and I was drowsy.
In the haze, the nightmare of many years came towards me, but this time I dreamed of Ye Linghan.
On my seventh birthday, the whole palace was lit up and it was festive and peaceful.
My father and mother were standing far away from me, as if they were talking about something, I thought they must be discussing what to give me a birthday present, they turned their heads and smiled at me as they talked, and I looked at their expressions, satisfied and warm.
Actually, I don't like gifts much, I just like my parents' attention and love for me, and gifts are just a way to express this.
I was talking to Fluttershy about the difference between pitcher plants and psyllium, Fluttershy bit her fingers, her face was painful and puzzled, she had always been like this, she had a hard time learning medicine, many Chinese herbs, I could easily distinguish their types, she was still at a loss.
Every time she was confused, Daddy smiled kindly and didn't blame her. But if she doesn't play hard and doesn't work hard, her father will definitely blame her.
Fluttershy is the daughter of our Aunt Wu, who has never seen her father since she was a child, and heard that her father is in southern Xinjiang. She was the same age as me, so she was my childhood playmate, my good sister, and my father personally taught us both to read and write, to memorize the Analects and read ancient poems, and to learn the languages of the Dog Rong, Xiongnu and Wusun. Fluttershy is no worse than I am.
However, Fluttershy doesn't know anything about Chinese herbs and pathologies that Daddy is best at, so she can't learn anything, and she doesn't like to learn them. Every time Daddy tried to test the two of us, I would be very nervous for Fluttershy, pulling her aside and repeating the explanation to her over and over again, hoping that she wouldn't be scolded.
While Fluttershy isn't interested in plants, she is particularly interested in animals.
She is very fond of birds such as crows, sparrows, and orioles, and she is very interested in scary things like snakes and mice, as well as scary insects, centipedes, scorpions, poisonous snakes, bats, etc., which she can treat as treasures, and Fluttershy has a very strong interest in these things, and her eyes light up every time she sees them!
However, our holy palace is on the snow-capped mountain, and there are no such living creatures, and some are just specimens used by my father for research. Daddy's herbarium was dark and cold, and I was terrified of all kinds of corpses because lighting too many candles would cause the animals to corrode faster, and every time I was pulled in by Fluttershy, I was terrified to see! And she didn't realize it, looking at the carcasses of the animals that had been placed on the shelves, and dancing with joy.
I thought she had this strange habit, and every time my father went down the mountain to pick herbs, he would bring us some living creatures back, sometimes a white rabbit, sometimes a thrush, sometimes a little badger pig. Every time Fluttershy gets excited, she eats and sleeps with her little pet, to the point where she forgets herself. However, these things don't live long on the snowy mountains, but under Fluttershy's care, the little rabbits and badger pigs can live healthy for a year and a half.
So, Daddy teaches Fluttershy how to go falconry. Within a few days, I saw the massive body and hook mouth swooping down, and I was so frightened that I found a place to hide, but Fluttershy was slowly getting used to directing her eagle friends to fly and land.
The eagle is a fetish that grows on this snowy mountain, and Fluttershy finally has a long-term living friend besides me.
Daddy says that Fluttershy has a talent and I have a talent, but our talents are in different places.
So, I used to fiddle with my herbs, and she fiddled with her eagle, and my father saw it and smiled at my mother and said, "You see, this girl's natural hobby is indeed inherited from her father."
