Chapter Eighty-Four: Disasters Don't Go Alone
Mingyue didn't dare to move for half a minute, her eyes were aimed at the dozen or so long swords on her neck, and her eyes were clearly saying, I want to try it, and my life will be gone directly.
Li Fang's eyes swept to the dozen or so guards again, and the guards pulled the sword away from Mingyue's body in silence, Mingyue kept jumping up and jumping five steps away, as if Li Fang was the one who didn't let go of life and death, and should be avoided like a snake and scorpion, but her plan to escape obviously failed, and the long sword was neatly placed on her neck again, and Mingyue's little face collapsed again.
Li Fang stood up with the smashed old waist, walked up to Mingyue with gritted teeth, and his fingers almost poked Mingyue's nose to collapse, and shouted: "Who sent you to follow General Ben?" ”
Mingyue adhered to the principle that people had to bow their heads under the low eaves, and changed to a aggrieved and timid appearance and said: "That, general, the people's girl came first, and you came later." ”
Li Fang's face has a capital "embarrassment" word, it seems, as if what people say is not unreasonable, people are first on the tree, their own horses and hunting, panicked animals knocked down the dead tree, causing the other party to fall from the tree, the other party is burdened by himself, in other words, even if people have a purpose, they are "waiting for the rabbit", not tracking.
Li Fang looked displeased and stubbornly said, "Say, what is your purpose in waiting for this general here?" What was the purpose of waiting for General Ben at the gate of the city last time? ”
Is this the rhythm of "yes and yes, no yes and yes"? Mingyue slandered in her heart, and said to Li Fang with what she thought was the most flattering smile: "Listen to the storyteller in the city, the general is as clear as the moon, the jade tree is in the wind, and the reputation is far and wide, and he is the object of admiration of the women of Daqi, why do the peasant girls wait for the general, doesn't the general know?" After speaking, the fingers of both hands were stirred together, and a little family with anger and shame appeared.
Who is useless, although these words were said by an inconspicuous little peasant girl, Li Fang was still praised to the heart, let the guards withdraw their long swords, smiled and recalled the words of the little peasant girl, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said in a threatening tone: "Famous and famous? Do you know what General Ben's name is? "Li Fang's return from the frontier is secret, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.
Mingyue's eyes fluttered, and she said with an embarrassed look: "It is precisely because I don't know that I put all the heroic deeds and grandeur of the generals who defend the country mentioned in Mr. Storyteller's book on the general, and the general is the perfect handsome and extraordinary character!" ”
Mingyue retreated uncheckably as she spoke, scolding in her heart, what kind of bullshit general is this, he just has a bag in his head, and he loves to make people pat on the back.
Li Fang's mood really improved a lot, but he didn't give in: "Although you made an unintentional mistake, but after all, you hurt General Ben, you have to apologize." ”
Mingyue looked at the guards with a dark light in her eyes, and suddenly knelt down, so frightened that all the guards took a few steps back, and gave way to a vacant space behind Mingyue.
Mingyue kowtowed three times in a row, and said with tears in her eyes: "General, the people's girl is wrong, the people's girl has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, hereby thank the general for not killing the grace, there is nothing to repay in this life, I am willing to ----- with my body."
Li Fang was so frightened that he took five steps back, and he complained in his heart, this peasant girl with a black face still thought she was a seven fairies? If it is "promised by his body" today, it is estimated that the entire government and the opposition of the Great Qi Kingdom will laugh at him for not even letting go of the "pheasant-like peasant girl", and even write it into the book.
Li Fang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”
Mingyue raised her eyes in surprise, and said brightly: "The general doesn't blame the peasant girl for the crime of colliding, he doesn't need to repay the favor, and he won't find a gap to blame?" ”
Li Fang Zheng nodded yes: "No, no, no." ”
Mingyue stood up suddenly, patted the dust on her body, and gave Li Fang a bowing salute again, and the guards looked at Mingyue playfully, exchanged their heads and ears, laughing and laughing, and guessed that the little peasant girl would have something to do with the young general.
Mingyue quietly lifted her skirt, suddenly turned around, like a leopard like lightning, like a wind ran out of the encirclement, waiting for the guards to reflect, Mingyue was a few zhang away, holding a sword to chase, was a rain of stones flew quickly, blocking the way, only a few moments, the little peasant girl has disappeared, leaving only the sound of the wind.
She, just ran away? The guards, you look at me, I look at you, and they look at each other.
Li Fang's face was still stunned and didn't react, just now he was still flattering Daoqian, just a breather, and ran away? She, don't pester herself anymore?
Li Xiaowu picked up a picture book from the ground where Mingyue was kneeling and kowtowing, handed it to Li Fangdao: "General, this is left by the little peasant girl when she fell off the tree." ”
Li Fang pointed to the words of the ghost arc on the atlas, and read hesitantly: "The Book of the Royal Cat? Isn't this peasant girl helping a big family raise cats? ”
Looking at the picture page inside, the young and merry young general turned his face whiter and whiter, from white to red, then from red to green, and then from green to colorful, and waved his hand to a person behind him, who was a messenger, thinking that the general was sending a message with a carrier pigeon, and took out a note from his body, a black carbon strip, and put it on the back of another guard obediently, so that the young general could write.
Li Fang only took the carbon strip, drew a few strokes on the "Royal Cat Sutra", changed the three words of "The Royal Cat Sutra" to "White Tiger Pass", and said with a smile: "'Royal Cat' is too imposing, it is fierce enough to be called 'White Tiger', if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, isn't Lord Wei busy looking for Mrs. Zheng Room all over the city, and refuses to see General Ben?" How could General Ben sit idly by? Xiao Wu, on behalf of General Ben, gave this book to Lord Wei to express his gratitude. ”
Li Xiaowu laughed for a while, as if he saw Wei Zhixing like swallowing flies, this master and two servants surnamed Wei all looked dignified, and only the young general could think of a way to deal with him.
Looking at the direction of the little peasant girl's departure, the corners of Li Fang's mouth showed an upward arc, as if talking to himself, and seemed to say to Li Xiaowu: "This little peasant girl, the general is a little reluctant to kill her, and it is interesting to catch and control this wild cat with claws with his own hands." ”
Li Xiaowu shuddered, and an ominous sense of desire surged into his heart, the young general's high-spirited state can only be found when facing the powerful General Hulu, little peasant girl, you ask for more blessings.
......
Mingyue searched all over her body and couldn't find the "Royal Cat Sutra" that she had worked so hard to draw, afraid that Li Fang and the others would not leave, Mingyue didn't sleep well all night, and suffered until the next morning with her eyes open, and hurriedly returned to the northern foot to look for it.
The shadow of the people in the north foot is gone, and the bright moon is relieved, not letting go of an inch of land, but there is no lost book.
Mingyue secretly sighed, but it was a pity that "The Book of Cats" died suddenly without gaining a single fan, and died for a day.
Mingyue rested with her back against the tree, and when she looked down, she saw countless ants crawling towards the tree where she lived.
Mingyue became curious, and looked up following the crawling trajectory of the ants, and was leaning on a dead willow tree behind her, hey, why is this tree so familiar?
Mingyue suddenly realized that this tree was the withered willow tree that collapsed with him yesterday, and it was replanted into the soil, and on the trunk of the tree, a black-haired pheasant was stuck in a dagger with a cold light.
No, it's not a black-haired pheasant, Mingyue is gagging for a while.
This pheasant was stripped of its hair, blood, and honey, and its dagger was stuck in its neck, and it was crawling with dense ants, and it looked like a black-haired pheasant from a distance.
The pheasant's belly was swollen and moved strangely.
Mingyue inexplicably felt itchy all over her body, wind on the back of her neck, and looked around suspiciously, there was little silence around, no one around, and even the sound of birds was rare.
Mingyue vomited for a long time, knowing that this was yesterday's person who was angry with herself, so as to intimidate herself, killing herself was like killing this little pheasant, or she couldn't die well.
Mingyue shook the goosebumps all over her body, feeling that these ancient people were all neurotics, and they would kill people if they raised their hands and knives at every turn, what general was like this yesterday, and so was Wei Zhixing.
Mingyue raised her legs and wanted to leave, but was attracted by the colorful gems on the dagger, there were red, green, purple, yellow, and cyan five-color gems on it.
For Mingyue, gold and silver treasures are the best medicine, Mingyue is in a good mood, as soon as she reaches out and pulls out the dagger inserted into the trunk, with the dagger pulled out, the "black-haired chicken" fell to the ground with a bang, the ants scattered and seized, the chicken's stomach opened, and dozens of thousand-legged centipedes ran out of it, which scared Mingyue "whooped" and ran away.
There were several foot-long centipedes chasing Mingyue, who panicked and ran directly onto the ice of the stream, trying to use ice to block the centipede's invasion.
The centipede ran to the ice, and sure enough, it blocked its way, and gradually turned around and scattered.
Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the ice above the creek was not a long-term solution, and cautiously wanted to return to the shore.
This creek is said to be a small stream, only two meters wide, but it is extremely deep and turbulent, it is a tributary of the Moon River upstream, and Han Lin's daughter-in-law Zhou fell into it without a trace. In the morning and evening, the ice above will freeze, and at noon the weather will be warmed up and washed away, Mingyue consciously knows the danger, so he wants to step back on the shore.
Mingyue's front feet have stepped on the shore, the back feet are struggling, only to hear the ice "stuck" cracking, Mingyue's hind feet stepped into it deeply, instinctively struggled to lower his body, the ice surface that was originally only broken one foot shattered, and his body suddenly half sank into the ice, with the ice mound floating half a meter away, Mingyue hurriedly used the dagger in his hand to insert the rock on the shore, although the rock was hard, but the dagger was even sharper, and it was inserted into half a foot long at once, firmly fixing Mingyue's body that continued to sink and was washed away.
Mingyue climbed ashore with great effort, the upper and lower rows of teeth, clucking and clinking like a bell, fortunately only the lower half of the body was wet, and the upper body did not have the problem of running out, Mingyue's body jumped up and down and ran in the direction of the village, for fear that as soon as she stopped, she and her clothes would quickly freeze into ice lumps.
Running to the entrance of the village, Han Xing was about to go to the southern foot of the mountain to chop wood and hunt, when he saw that it was Mingyue, he hurriedly took off his clothes and robes and draped them on Mingyue, and said with an eager face: "Mingyue, why did you go to the northern foot again?" Did you encounter a black-haired monster? You can't jump into the river when you encounter it, the ice on the upper layer of the river is thin, and the water flow below is rapid, and there is no shadow if you fall into it. ”
Mingyue pulled Han Xing to run home, and said as she ran: "I don't want to, I'll go home and talk about it, I'll freeze to death." ”
