Chapter 44: Did You Miss Me?
I took the box and opened it gently, and there was a very delicate wooden carved finch inside, the corners of the feathers and beak were carved very smartly, and when I touched it, I could even flap my wings.
I put the box away and smiled "thank you, I like it very much......"
He seemed to smile too, "If you like it, it's fine." ”
"Hey, hey! You can't come yet, there is a roasted whole sheep to eat! ”
Rong Ziyang shouted on the side, someone had already set up a wooden frame and put a lamb on the fire, the fire was very strong, and after a while, a faint smell of meat came from the air.
Everyone sat in a circle, their eyes shining, waiting for the roast to come forward and divide it. Wu Fuzi shook his head helplessly, "Whatever you are anxious about, you are in a hurry, you have a share!" The two little birthday stars are not as anxious as you! ”
I smiled slightly, Chen Xiangnian danced enough, sat beside me with a turn, tugged at the corner of my clothes, and said with a red face, "Dump Mu, I'm so happy today, the little marquis celebrates our birthday, and the master also roasts the whole sheep for us, I'm so happy!" ”
Yes, it feels very warm.
The weather in early autumn was very cold, but the bonfire was very hot, the master roasted the sheep, cut two legs of lamb and brought them to the two of us in one hand, and coughed lightly, "Ladies and gentlemen, Qinglan Pavilion has been born on the same day and month for so many years, na, these two big legs of lamb are given to them, I wish them early success in their studies and become the pillars of Xiqi!" ”
"Good!" Everyone applauded.
Chen Xiangnian and I hurriedly took it, this leg of lamb was roasted and browned, and it was even more fragrant when asked, I took a big bite of it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was delicious. I quickly nodded and said, "Master, it's so delicious!" ”
The master laughed, distributed the meat to everyone, and said, "Of course, you masters and I, when we were in the grassland, almost became cooks for roasting sheep!" ”
The fat student took a bite of meat, almost shed tears of happiness, and said, "Wufuzi, then why don't you stay on the grassland as a cook in the end?" ”
"Pedantic!" Wu Fuzi tapped his head, "If you master and I were grassland cooks back then, where would you eat such fragrant roast sheep now!" ”
The fat student thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, what the master said makes sense.!" ”
Then he thought of something again, and said, "Hey, no, Master, if you are a grassland cook, if we go to the grassland, won't we be able to eat such fragrant roast sheep every day!" ”
"Still pedantic!" Wu Fuzi knocked him again, "If I become a grassland cook, where do you know, Master, I will roast a leg of mutton!" ”
The fat student thought about it, and nodded again, "Well, what the master said makes sense." ”
Everyone laughed, stepped forward to take the roast mutton, and ate it in twos and threes.
Ji Yun often sat not far from me, carefully cutting the mutton into pieces with a knife and elegantly putting it in his mouth, Chen Xiangnian was holding his chin and looking at him secretly.
Not far away, the nineteenth princess dressed in red shouted "Brother Ziyang" one by one, but Rong Ziyang turned around impatiently, eating a leg of mutton, but he didn't look back. The princess seemed to be really angry, and sat on the ground with a pout, and after thinking about it, he tore off a piece of the leg of mutton and gave it to her......
Liu Rong'er sat with a few female students, discussing something softly. Some sons of the family next to him pretended to speak, but they frequently turned their heads and looked at Liu Rong'er's circle of people.
The master sat by the campfire, out of nowhere he found a corner wine bag, ate a mouthful of mutton, drank a sip of wine, and his eyes were leisurely detached, as if he was remembering something.
I looked up and saw that in the middle of the moon, some bright stars were scattered in the night sky.
There was the fragrance of grass on the ground, some fireflies flew in the distance, and some small moths saw the firelight and plunged into it from a distance, making a crackling sound of broken bones.
My heart suddenly became very quiet, and my thoughts seemed to stop at this moment, and everything in front of me was deeply imprinted in the depths of my mind.
The world has changed, and the vicissitudes of life.
Until many years later, I would still be in my sleep remembering that night many years ago.
At that time, the classmates had not yet turned against each other, the sisters around them had not left their hometowns to marry other countries, the students looked at you unpleasantly on the front foot, and the back foot could celebrate your birthday, the ruffian boy had not yet matured to the point of indifference, and the feeling of liking was hidden in his heart, and he felt so happy at a glance.
Everything is so simple and beautiful, so beautiful that when you think about it, it feels like a dream.
At that time, I realized that the birthday of the 10th year old was the warmest birthday I have ever had.
The night breeze sprinkled, rolling up the residual leaves on the ground, I wrapped myself in a gauze skirt, and took a big bite off a piece of mutton...
After tossing for more than an hour, everyone was tired, Wu Fuzi left a few male students to clean up the battlefield, and when he went to others, he dragged his round stomach and walked back slowly.
Don't look at the time when the road is a river and a building, when you go back, it is not troublesome, just bypass a forest, you will arrive at the side gate of the Qinglan Pavilion, it turns out that the place where you ate sheep before is actually the back mountain in the pavilion.
Everyone lives in different places, and when they enter the pavilion, they scatter, and the further they go, the fewer people there are, and in the end, only me and Ji Yunchang are left.
The green beads seemed to sound suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Miss, I made soup in the stove, and I'll go back first." And he ran away.
I didn't feel anything, but I felt embarrassed when she made a fuss. Ji Yun often didn't speak, only half a meter away from me, following my pace, unhurriedly.
The moon was in the east, and I looked down at my shadow, the sound of soft footsteps echoing in my ears.
In this way, I soon arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, knocked a few times and the green beads did not open, I didn't care, turned to him and said, "I've arrived." ”
"Hmm." He answered, turned around and left, walked two steps and then turned back and said, "Put away the birthday gift for you, you have always been careless, don't lose it." ”
I hurried to touch my sleeve pocket, and the thing was still there.
He nodded, turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked away with the appearance of an adult. The moon stretched his shadow, and I was slightly stunned.
Have I always been careless? Are you kidding!
Throwing away the rest of my thoughts, I pushed the door into the courtyard, but at the same time I felt that something was wrong.
Luzhu came back first, if you don't open the door, it's nonsense, and it's not right if you don't hold the lamp!
Moreover, when I recorded that when I went out, the tea cup under the tree was neatly arranged, but now there was a crooked one, and I opened the window to walk, but the window was closed.
Someone!
I was shocked, and then I looked at the aspect, at this time it was hidden, and the room was pitch black, and the silence made people panic.
With a slight sigh, I reached out and took out the ink que, my left hand was flat, pointed the small crossbow at the door, moved it step by step, and then kicked the door open with a fierce kick.
"Squeak...... ...... creak, "The door shook softly, and by the moonlight, there was nothing unusual in the room.
There is no abnormality, it is the biggest abnormality, how can the green bead not move at all......
I protected Mo Que in front of me, lifted one foot into the house, saw nothing, turned around to follow, and quickly looked left and right, but there was nothing unusual in the room.
Could it be that the window is closed by green beads, and the teacup is also moved by her, am I too suspicious?
I was thinking about it, when there was a sudden clamour behind me, and I was shocked, I pressed the mechanism to flick the ink que to three feet, and it was a horizontal slash, and then I squatted down and swept the hall, and it was another slash.
This move, called Wolong Feitian, is the close defense method taught by Wu Fuzi that day, saying that if there is an enemy, this move can also force him to take a few steps back, I learned it very seriously, but I didn't expect it to be used.
Sure enough, I heard a few very light footsteps, as if retreating towards the door.
My eyes had adjusted to the light in the room, and I squinted to see that there was a dark shadow by the door, and with a fierce heart, I raised the crossbow and quickly clenched my fist to pull the mechanism open.
"Whoosh...... Whoosh...... "Three bamboo arrows flew out, followed by three other arrows in a row......
With such a subtle secret weapon, ordinary people can dodge the first three arrows, but they can't dodge the three arrows behind. I thought he was the same, but the man jumped into the air and jumped onto the beam, and all six arrows were nailed to the door frame.
"Hah......" There was a chuckle from the beam, and then the dark shadow jumped next to me.
I was just about to go out of Mo Que to split, but he seemed to have taken precautions, and actually grabbed my wrist and hit my numb hole a little, and Mo Que immediately fell out of his hand, clanged, and smashed on the ground.
"Hah......" He chuckled again, this time he turned around and approached, and blew lightly in my ear, "Little girl, do you miss me......"
