Chapter Ninety-Five: Dongfang Yue
The sun was scorching, and the streets of the town were quieter than ever, with few people playing except for three or five children playing in the shade of the trees on the side of the street. Xi Ning and Shadow led the horse "Da Da Da", the sound of the bell on the horse's neck attracted the curiosity of the children, stopped the game in their hands, and looked at the stranger walking towards them with bright and curious eyes.
This town is very remote, except for foreign vendors, there are almost no outsiders, except for the woman who appeared in Minhan's house last year, said to be Zhen Yuling. However, she is not as beautiful as the woman leading the horse in front of her. The children secretly compared the women they had seen, but none of them could compare with the one in front of them, and they felt that there would be no more beautiful woman in the world than the one in front of them, so they decisively concluded: she is a fairy descending to earth!
Xi Ning didn't know that these children in linen clothes and dirty faces had worshipped her as a goddess, so she walked forward with a smile and asked, "May I ask if there is a man named Dongfang Yue in your town?" ”
The children looked at this and that, dazed, and finally shook their heads as if they were about to cry, and failed to help the goddess, which made them sad and bowed their heads one by one. Xi Ning understood their sadness, and hurriedly said, "It's okay! It doesn't matter if not, I'll look for it. But have you ever seen a man who likes to wear red? ”
Xi Ning doesn't know when it started, Dongfang Yue has a preference for red, and he is red all year round, thinking that maybe he will still be the same when he goes to the people, and his personal preferences should not change too much.
"Red!" A swarthy little girl raised her head and said, "Minhan has a red cloth coat, he is beautiful when he wears it, but it is rare to see him wear it, he wore it last month's flower festival, but he never wore it again after it was over." ”
"Minhan?" Xi Ning is too unfamiliar with this name. For a while, it was impossible to determine that he was Dongfang Yue.
"Hmmm! We don't know his name, but he has a strange personality, and if a woman appears in front of him, he will beat him up. The adults said that he was a man, a folk man, so everyone called him Minhan. ”
The other little boy said with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Oh, yes! The true man of the female respect country, that is a person who is difficult to marry.
"Do you know anyone else in town who likes to wear red?" Xi Ning took out a pack of bean paste cakes from his arms, put it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to the children in front of him. This made the shadow not far behind her feel that she was suspected of abducting a child.
"Red cloth clothes are very expensive. No one can afford it, and Minhan is very good at hunting, except for him. I haven't seen anyone else wear it. The children stared at the bean paste cake in Xi Ning's hand, looking greedy, but no one reached out to take it. Xi Ning had no choice but to open it and give each of them a piece. When I saw them get their hands on it, they ate it, and the food was delicious. She smiled and straightened up to the shadow.
"Sister fairy, if you want to find Minhan, go straight out of the south gate, the broken house fenced in the countryside is his house." Another little girl said loudly.
Xi Ning didn't want to see that Minhan or anything, she didn't think it would be Xiaoyue. But there was a hint of expectation in the little girl's immature voice, and she felt that it didn't matter if she went to see it or not, she came out to look for someone anyway. According to Ethan's intelligence. Dongfang Yue appeared in this area a year ago.
She and the shadow rode away, out of the low rammed-earth gates. Take to the country lanes.
There are six families scattered here, each far apart, but this thatched hut in front of me is indeed the most dilapidated room. A fence was inserted with branches crossed into the fence. Xi Ning pushed open the door that was not a door, and knocked on the broken door of the grass house. Just as her finger touched the folding door, she suddenly began to look forward to it, and had a strange illusion that the person in this room was the person she was looking for. This feeling intensified as there was a long wait after no one answered.
Although the shadow didn't understand why Xi Ning was standing in a daze at the door of someone else's house, he didn't make a sound to disturb. I searched for it all the way, ran to many places, and found many wrong people. From the beginning of the full expectation to the current calm and calm, only this time, Xi Ning's expression was a little excited, almost fanatically staring at the pile of firewood at the door, I don't know what he thought.
The two of them waited for two days.
Xi Ning stubbornly refused to leave, and she refused to leave without seeing the owner of the house denying herself personally. No matter how hard the shadow dares to urge, Xi Ning will definitely get angry, and the shadow can feel this kind of crisis.
That day, when the sun went down, no one came. In a fit of rage, the shadow kicked the door open. The broken wooden door, which could withstand the force of his kick, shattered into several pieces in response. In this way, the two of them entered the house, ignoring the pointing and pointing of the passing villagers, and lived in the bright light.
I thought it would take ten days and a half to wait, but I didn't expect to wait for the owner of this house on the third day.
Dressed in linen, unkempt, he carried a load of firewood on his shoulders, and at the end of the burden was tied to the prey. Xi Ning couldn't see his appearance clearly, but based on his height, she felt that it was a little possible, but she still couldn't believe that this man would be her Xiaoyue, the beautiful man who looked like Xiao Zhengtai.
The visitor paused for a moment, wanting to turn around and leave, but was blocked by a shadow. He lowered his head and wanted to bypass the shadow, but the path ahead was blocked by the shadow's sideways movement left and right, he was silent, turned around and walked towards the way he came, the woodcutter in his hanging hand was trembling faintly, and a voice shouted in his heart: It's her, it's her. She found it, but why is she so ugly, why?
Xi Ning turned around and walked away when he saw the comer, and came behind him in three or two steps to grab his burden.
"Let go!" He didn't look back, and shouted in a hoarse voice as best he could.
"Don't let it go!" Xi Ning stared at his trembling back tightly, so thin and helpless. Her tears came out of her eyes, it was heartache, it hurt to the point of heartbreak.
"I told you to let go!" The man was forced to hurry, he threw his burden away, and the woodcutter in his hand swung backwards. Seeing this, the shadow's heart suddenly hung in his throat, dodge, dodge!
Xi Ning did not take a step back, but took a step forward. Dongfang Yue was shocked, the horror in his eyes was so obvious, completely revealing his identity. He felt sorry for himself, Xi Ning was sure at that moment.
Dongfang Yue didn't have time to retract his strength, he let go of his hand with internal injuries, the machete fell to the ground, and he also fell to the spot.
"Why stop? Don't you hate me? Why don't you kill me? Xi Ning stepped forward and asked with the worry in his heart. She knew too well what kind of internal damage would be caused by the forced retraction, but she couldn't give up at this moment, she wanted to force him to say what was in her heart.
Dongfang Yue heard Xi Ning say this, and hurriedly looked up at her. Silently asked: Why do you think I will hate you, hate you so much that I want to kill you?
"Since you don't come to me while you're alive, aren't you just hating me? As soon as I saw each other and turned to leave, I caught up with me and slashed me with a knife. Didn't you say you wanted to kill me with hatred? ”
Xi Ning answered the questions in his heart one by one, and he was even more surprised when he sat on the ground, his handsome eyes widened again, and his face was incredulous, what was she going to do?
A trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, Xi Ning was frightened, and quickly squatted down and said, "Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, you are injured!" ”
Seeing that he was injured, Xi Ning couldn't hold on any longer.
"My name is Minhan, and I'm not the person you're looking for." He stood up, waved his sleeves to wipe away the blood stains, and walked towards the hut step by step, never looking back at Xi Ning again.
Xi Ning was in a hurry, and fell down with a "bang".
The shadow of "Your Majesty" stood far away, but he also knew that Xi Ning was not injured, but how could he faint? He came to Xi Ning's side in three or two steps and quickly picked her up.
The shadow's shout had already made Dongfang Yue turn around, looking at Xi Ning lying there, he didn't know what was going on, but the distress swept through his body in an instant, what happened to Ning Ning? He staggered towards Xi Ning, and saw the shadow picking her up, her hands hanging down weakly, her head tilted back, and her eyes were tightly closed.
"Let her go! You let her go! "Ning Ning will be uncomfortable, and it will be uncomfortable to hold her like that. He thought so, deliberately ignoring the little jealousy in his heart.
Dongfang Yue took Xi Ning in the shadow arms, and saw that her rough hands seemed to be dirty with her clothes, and her hands didn't dare to stick to her body, so she propped up her arms into the room like that and let her lie on the simple bed.
"What's wrong with her?" He didn't look back, knowing that the shadow was standing in the doorway.
"I'm afraid it's been more than half a year of traveling, plus the past few days to find you, running around, looking for you and not recognizing her, exhausted." Seeing Dongfang Yue's caution and nervousness, the shadow suddenly understood Xi Ning's intentions and said cooperatively.
"Ning Ning, wake up quickly, I didn't disown you, I am your Xiaoyue! You're waking up. ”
Here Dongfang Yue called out with tears and trembling in distress, and Xi Ning, who was lying on the bed, fell asleep peacefully because he heard what he wanted to hear. When she woke up again, it was the next day, Dongfang Yue was lying on the head of the bed with red eyes, wearing a red cloth coat, her hair was neatly combed in a ponytail, and her face was clean, just like the person she saw for the first time yesterday.
"Xiaoyue, you haven't slept all night?"
This is the first sentence Xi Ning said, completely forgetting how shameless yesterday's behavior was, and he fell asleep like that, so that the man who had been worried all night was embarrassed.
"Rather... Sister, what else are you uncomfortable with? Dongfang Yue had a sleepless night, thinking a lot, if she was not qualified to be her husband, then go back to the beginning, be her younger brother, or a sharp sword, and kill those enemies who expected her to be in the world.
"Xiaoyue, I'll pick you up, the palace is ready to wait for you to move in, if you don't dislike my sister, I already have a fourth husband." Speaking of which, she felt a little weak. Dongfang Yue opened her mouth to call her sister, will she never love her again? It is possible that she will not leave her, or that she may not agree to be her husband, what should she do?
