Chapter 18: The Story
The girl's facial features are very deep, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, and a head of brown curly hair draped behind her, which obviously looks like a person from the Western Regions. She wore only a large men's shirt with a hem that covered half of her thighs, and she walked barefoot on the soft sand without even making a sound.
"My name is Geya." She shook Xia Beifeng's hand that was reaching out to her, then let go, turned her head to look at the corpses of the two scorpions beside them, and asked, "You killed this?" ”
"Even if it's it." Xia Beifeng looked down at the hand he had just shaken with her, the skin on the girl's hand was smooth and delicate, and she thought that she should have been pampered since she was a child, and she had never done heavy work. When shaking hands with people, he retreats with a touch, it seems that because of timidity, his hands are still a little trembling, but it is more itchy than deliberate seduction.
Geya looked at the mutilated dead scorpion on the ground, pursed her lips, and something flickered in her eyes.
"How?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Beifeng took the initiative to ask her, "Are you distressed?" ”
"Why, I'm afraid they're too late." The girl turned her head to look at Xia Beifeng, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "You are so powerful, even more powerful than the most powerful warrior I have ever seen." ”
She doesn't speak Chinese very well, it can almost be regarded as lame, and she stumbles in a sentence, but her voice is soft and sweet, which makes people not only feel awkward when they listen to it, but it has a special charm.
"You're the princess?" Xia Beifeng stood up, picked up the charcoal that had been scattered on the ground before, and gathered them together, "I'll light a fire, just say what you have." Didn't you come here to tell me a story? ”
Princess Nagya pursed her mouth, as if she was a little aggrieved, she watched Xia Beifeng light the fire again, and told her story under the light of the fire that was clearly extinguished......
This place used to be under the temple built by the ancient kingdom of Loulan a long time ago, and the "god" enshrined in the temple was a scorpion. Thousands of years ago, a group of people began to build a country on this land, and beneath this land, a huge scorpion lived. In the first few decades, the two sides were still peaceful, as more and more people above the scorpion cave, the scorpion also came out to disturb the people at every turn, the king sent troops to recruit several times, but could not help the ferocious scorpion monster, and finally the king had no choice but to build a temple for the scorpion, killing a group of slaves every few years to appease the scorpion living below.
As time passed, the people living in this land forgot why they wanted to sacrifice a scorpion, and gradually believed that the scorpion was a true god, and still sent the sacrifice on time. It wasn't until Buddhism began to become popular in the country that people finally forgot their past beliefs and abandoned their former shrines. The scorpion monster, having lost its sacrifice, was furious and came to the earth again. They wantonly slaughtered civilians and destroyed farmland and buildings.
The king was terrified, but did not know how to appease the scorpion's anger, so he went to the former temple and asked what could be done to satisfy it. The king did not receive a response, and on the night after returning to the palace, he dreamed of a man who told the king that he was a scorpion who lived under the temple and that he had to marry his daughter if he wanted to keep the country at peace.
The king was reluctant to agree to the scorpion's conditions, but the king's daughter, the only princess of the country, resolutely entered the cave where the scorpion lived in order to protect the people of the country.
What the princess saw in the cave was not an imaginary monster, but an old man, who gave her a bowl of a strange taste of potion and told her to drink it. The princess drank the bowl of potion and never needed to eat, but only the river to live, and she married the man in the cave and lived with him for several years.
The princess had a marriage contract before marrying the scorpion monster, and the marriage date had already been scheduled, and the princess's fiancé said that he would go to the Central Plains to bring back the most beautiful wedding dress for her, and asked the princess to wait for him to come back, and the two would get married immediately. The fiancé suffered a war in the Central Plains and returned to his country after nine deaths, but he lost the bride he was missing.
The princess's fiancé was rescued by a Taoist priest when he was in the Central Plains, and he learned a few ways to eliminate demons, and after listening to the king's words, he only said that the scorpion underground was just a scorpion essence that had been cultivated, so he brought the magic weapon given by the master, and a group of princesses' former guards, to get rid of the demon and rescue his beloved woman.
The scorpion is so profound that the people who come to fight it go through a bloody battle and finally annihilate the entire army. And the princess's fiancé never saw the princess again until he died. The scorpion spirit was furious again, and no longer intended to compromise, it took countless scorpions large and small in the cave and destroyed the countries on earth.
Perhaps God couldn't stand this monster making trouble, but soon after the destruction of the country, a flood flooded the scorpion hole, and the scorpion spirit was easily drowned. And the princess, relying on a piece of driftwood, lived until the flood receded.
When she returned to earth, she saw the devastation of the Flood, and the once prosperous country was left without a single person alive. She once wanted to leave here and find a place where no one knew her to live alone, but she couldn't get out of this land, so she could only return to this scorpion hole and live alone for an unknown number of years.
"Maybe those dead people don't want me to leave, no matter how I go, I will eventually return to the vicinity of this temple, so I just give up." After Geya finished telling this story, she smiled at Xia Beifeng a little lonely, staring at the pile of flames in a daze.
"Wonderful!" Xia Beifeng clapped his hands twice and praised, "I haven't heard such a wonderful story for a long time." ”
Geya's words combined most of the dog blood elements, and finally formed a fairy tale that can be sung and cried, which sounded simply flawed, Xia Beifeng found that he couldn't find anything wrong with it for a while, so he had to applaud and salute her.
"Thank you." Geya glanced at Xia Beifeng secretly, quickly lowered her head, and continued to look at the fire in front of her.
"And then?" Xia Beifeng asked her, "What's the matter with Song Yuanshan, don't tell me you don't know him." ”
"The man who killed someone?" Geya looked down at the shirt on her body and smiled bitterly, "He told me that he is the reincarnation of my fiancé, and he came to fulfill the promise of his previous life and marry me home." How is it possible, the person I love is brave, warm and kind, so that he will not be so cruel, don't you say? ”
"Hmm...... Maybe. Xia Beifeng gave her a vague answer and didn't continue to ask.
How the fuck do I know what the person you like is like, and there is a foreign man who also says it is your husband, could it be that your fiancé was beaten stupidly by a scorpion, accidentally split when he was reincarnated, and unfortunately split into two perverts?
The two men sat side by side by the fire, and for a moment neither spoke again.
"Where is Song Yuanshan now, and Zhao Yang." Xia Beifeng still spoke first, "Zhao Yang is another companion of ours, you may not have seen it...... No matter what, I'm going to bring Song Yuanshan back, alive or dead. ”
"I don't know, he asked me to take him down to see, and in the cave we met another person, and when he saw me and said that he was going to kill me, that man had a gun in his hand." Geya hugged her knees and leaned towards Xia Beifeng, "The Song Yuanshan and the man with the gun you said made a move, and after the two of them fought, I took advantage of the chaos and ran away, I think either of those two people is dangerous for me." ”
"Hmm...... Why did Song Yuanshan kill people? Xia Beifeng glanced at Geya's lack of clothes to cover her skin, which may be the reason why she has not seen light all year round, the skin on her body is a little unhealthy pale, faintly revealing the pale cyan blood vessels under the skin, which makes this girl extremely fragile.
"I saw them lost and wanted to take them here for a few days. But one of them wants to ...... me" Geya choked up when she said this, she withdrew her originally straight legs, held her knees with both hands, and her body trembled slightly, "Later, Song Yuanshan killed him, cut that thing off and threw it away." Song Yuanshan told me that I could only be him alone. ”
What the hell, Lu Mingsen's essence worm is not going to kill me, but I already knew, Song Yuanshan, what is going on. The expression on Xia Beifeng's face did not change, and after paranoia and schizophrenia in his heart, he labeled Song Yuanshan as paranoid personality disorder.
It seems that if you can bring him or bring him back, you should let Yueyue take him to a psychological state check, anyway, it's a sure thing when you get divorced, maybe you can get more money in a lawsuit.
"So, you know how to get out?" Xia Beifeng pretended not to notice Geya's seemingly inadvertent touch on her arm, and asked her eagerly.
"It's a full moon these days, and the ghosts killed by scorpions and the scorpion monsters that escaped the flood in this cave will come out on these days of the full moon. After a few days, although I can't get out, I can still send others out. After Geya finished speaking, she moved a little closer to Xia Beifeng, and almost the whole person was going to stick to him, "Anyway, you can go out in a few days, don't worry too much...... Do you think it's a little cold in this hole? ”
Geya really only wore this shirt. Xia Beifeng felt the touch on his arm and raised his eyebrows.
What kind of beauty trick is this, you have lived here for I don't know how many years, why do you suddenly feel a little cold today, and I am still lighting a fire hey. Lonely men and widows, can you change your excuses!
"I'm not cold at all, I feel a little hot." Xia Beifeng reached out and pulled the collar on the back of Geya's shirt, "tore" her off his body, and looked at her with a smile, "If you want to do something, just say it, I don't mind." ”
"I don't want to do anything, it's just a little cold." When Geya said this, there was a kind of pity that the little girl had been wronged, her eyes were sparkling, and there was a little nasal voice in her voice, "Did you misunderstand something?" ”
Xia Beifeng looked at her with a smile and didn't say a word.
Can I choose to skip these preludes and go straight to the main play? Xia Beifeng said in his heart, although I don't mind having something to do with you...... I wouldn't say no to someone as kind as I. But why do you have to go through this formality this way? This is a bit cheesy, girl.
Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and put it on Geya's shoulder, patted her shoulder comfortingly, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Actually, I am a person with very poor concentration, and I am the easiest to be tempted." Whatever you want to do, I can't control it at the first time. ”
Hello everyone, I'm the dividing line*********************
For a variety of reasons, this chapter has been changed for a long time...... Originally, there were more than 4,000 words...... But it's all useless nonsense, so it's all deleted.,Seriously, I don't know what's beyond that.,Anyway, it should be okay......
And to prove that I still have a writing style, and not an ordinary comic, I decided to write something else for you to see.
There is no wind and no moon, the wine is not warm, the ice and snow gradually melt and the spring is intoxicating, a peak enters the clouds and the stream sounds, and the white fish leaves the water and tears.
It doesn't rhyme...... Just take a look
