Chapter Seventy-Three: Dusk
Zhuo Zhaojie was woken up by the messenger 'woman' on the second day, and found that the quilt was dry, just covered on herself, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that she was only wearing a middle coat, and suddenly became angry and half dead, almost trembling and sent the messenger 'woman', jumped up and quickly changed into a dress, and stuffed the men's middle clothes into the bottom of the couch, picked up the quilt and smashed it for a long time, before she stopped hatefully, and called into Minghe without "fine" style: "Fetch water and freshen up." ”
She was obviously not very interested, but because of the incident with You Ruoheng yesterday, Minghe and Mingji only said that she was still worried about being punished after going back - the two envoys were more nervous than Zhuo Zhaojie, and they didn't have the heart to comfort her, waiting for Zhuo Zhaojie to freshen up, Samana sent breakfast, and after using it, because You Ruoheng had ordered not to leave the cabin 'door', Zhuo Zhaojie could only practice the pipa in front of the two absent-minded and sad-faced maids.
After two days, Samana came over to deliver dinner and said, "I've arrived at Maple Island." ”
"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked Minghe to roll up the curtain and open the window to look, and Samana pointed out to her: "It's the one in front." ”
"There's a hill?" Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the island and said.
Samana laughed out loud at once: "This is far away, it looks like a mountain, but in fact, it is just a mound, and the maple pond is at the bottom of the mound." ”
Jiangnan Mountain is warm and soft, the so-called mountains are not high, placed in the north, it is estimated that the highest peaks near the left are also a mound, but the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is flat, they are called mountains, although Zhuo Zhaojie has not seen the real majestic mountains, but he has also seen the description of Taihang and Zhongnan in the book, and knows that Samana and his party are from the north to look at the high mountains with the front blade of the wall, and naturally they will not see the highlands on the maple island as mountains.
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't fight with her, and said, "Then General Su and his grandfather are going down?" ”
"It's dark today, so I'll have to go back tomorrow morning." Samana glanced at her sympathetically - if You Ruoheng got off the boat, Zhuo Zhaojie would naturally have the opportunity to go out to breathe.
Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie really 'revealed' his disappointment.
Samana covered her mouth and smiled: "Tomorrow morning, Lao Hanlin got off the boat, Samana came to call the lady?" ”
"You're so nice!" Zhuo Zhaojie turned his anger into joy and praised.
Samana smiled, her eyes fluttering, and she said, "The little lady is too polite." ”
The next day, the boat went around the Feng Island, and finally found a place where it could be anchored, set up a springboard, and a few 'attendants' went down first, Su Shina and You Ruoheng let go to the island, and went to Fengtan to observe and identify on the spot.
Samana and the others disappeared behind the tree, and immediately came upstairs to report the news, Zhuo Zhaojie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go to the island to have fun!" ”
"Don't be a 'girl'!" Minghe and Mingji hurriedly stopped, "Ah Gong didn't say that the 'girl' could go out when he left, if he only walked around on the boat, what if he was found by Ah Gong on the island?" ”
Minghe said again: "What's more, although it is late autumn now, the climate in our south of the Yangtze River is warm, and the insects and pigs may not all be dormant, this island is uninhabited at a glance, and there is not even a decent path, if the 'girl' goes down and encounters any snakes and rats, it ......."
Zhuo Zhaojie said, "What's so fun on the boat?" ”
Samana said with great interest: "There are a lot of small beasts on this maple island, and the little master said that he would call a few people to go hunting, but the lady really didn't go?" ”
“…… Don't go! Just listening to the previous sentence, Zhuo Zhaojie was still a little moved, and when he heard that it was Ning Shaobi's meaning, he immediately said categorically!
Samana and Minghe and Mingji 'crossed' to change their eyes and 'color', and they all thought that Zhuo Zhaojie was probably blaming Ning Shaobi for the matter of Pu, so she smiled and said: "Okay, it's also good for the lady to look at the nearby scenery on the boat, it is said that some people say that 'the autumn water is a long day', and Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together' is the scenery 'color' at this time!" ”
"Well, I see, thank you." Zhuo Zhaojie smiled reluctantly, and after Samana left, she asked Minghe to go down, "You go and watch Ning Shizi and his party leave, I'll go down again!" ”
Minghe nodded, walked a few steps and suddenly turned around and said: "The 'girl' is going out, it is better to bring the pipa, so that Ah Gong will come back and see it, so that it can be said that he is practicing." ”
"Hmm." Now the three masters and servants are all guilty, and they naturally dare not slack off when they go out of the cabin 'door'.
Because You Ruoheng, Su Shina and Ning Shaobi all got off the ship, the boat seemed empty, and the deck was empty.
Zhuo Zhaojie led Minghe, Mingji along the boat a circle, the autumn wind blows from the lake, the large reeds on the edge of the maple island have bowed their heads over, 'exposed' out of the soft yellow and green stalks under the leaves, the sun shines brightly, a group of clear water and clear water, sometimes there are swimming fish playing and jumping out of the water, far and near the lake, water chestnut, peacock grass, gourd and the like, have not been significantly reduced, it is still like 'spring' and 'color' is in full swing, only a little pale yellow appears at the tip of the leaf.
Due to the bright sunlight, the water of the lake at this time is also extremely clear, and you can even see the shrimp moving quickly at the bottom of the lake in some places. Zhuo Zhaojie lay on the side of the boat and watched for a long time, and suddenly said: "The water here is already so cold, and I don't know that the water chestnut thing will not wither until October." ”
Ming Heqi said: "Isn't it too cold?" We're in Jiangnan! ”
"It's cold!" Zhuo Zhaojie affirmed, "Especially at night, it was really cold as ice water, and I ...... that night."
Speaking of this, he suddenly woke up, and continued with a hard head, "I accidentally pushed the quilt that night and woke up from freezing, and the water must be even colder." ”
"It's not the same above and below the water." Minghe and Mingji were not suspicious, and said with a smile, "Don't look at the 'girl' they are 'exposed' on the water, and the roots will be dragged to the bottom of the water. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a while, thinking that he knew that Ning Shaobi had deliberately deceived people and wiped his wet hair with his quilt later, and when he found him, he should have pressed him down and lifted him up, so he was out of breath a few times...... Why are you so kind? But then again, when they found him, they were both in a bad condition, and if they really pressed it a few more times, it was estimated that both of them would not be able to get up...... This is also a loss because Lou Boat was afraid of being entangled when he stopped, so he picked a place where there were no aquatic plants, otherwise Ning Shaobi jumped into the pile of aquatic plants as smart as herself...... One piece of peacock grass alone was enough to entangle him at the bottom of the lake for a long time......
She was so cranky and 'chaotic' thinking about it, sometimes rejoicing and sometimes annoyed, occasionally catching up with Minghe and Mingji, and the light gradually passed.
Twilight.
The sunset gently draped over the landscape, from the lake in the distance, to the water nearby, a piece of gold 'color' lively beating, like Yingying smiling, Zhuo Zhaojie quietly with his hands behind his back, standing at the bow of the boat, looking thoughtfully at this sunset scene - the mountain is still a mountain, the island is still an island, a lake, or a lake, just lined with the brilliant sunset, all this seems to be sacred and quiet, in the distance, a few lonely birds hoarsely called, flying low across the lake, in the light, their wings are like red gold, sweeping the place, circle dots' Under the boat, the lake water slapped the hull of the boat one after another, making a sound that was neither high nor low......
This dusk in the south of the Yangtze River is no stranger to her, the famous colorful azur in the Moling City in the Binwei Courtyard, the ancient apricot and ancient peach quietly blooming Chenguang, she has a lot of dusk, leaning on the railing of the cloister to watch the pale pink and light crimson 'flower' petals turn golden, and they are like a burst of golden 'color' rain...... Flying through the 'flower' rain on the swing and stopping with a full head is a more romantic scenery than "'spring' day tour, apricot 'flowers' blowing all over the head......
The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, she is even more accustomed to it, but at this moment, Zhuo Zhaojie is still immersed, the sunset is not blazing, but it has a vastness and gentleness that is difficult to describe, Zhuo Zhaojie looked up at the afterglow, but unexpectedly remembered the four words of "Ze was born", which should be the easiest word to think of in the 'spring' day, and now it is placed in the sunset of late autumn, suddenly surprisingly harmonious, Zhuo Zhaojie stood for a long time, and for a long time, until it became noisy behind him, and a voice said: "Oh, are you stunned to see the sunset?" ”
It was difficult to hide the banter in his tone, Zhuo Zhaojie's hand behind his back suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously clenched his fist!
Looking back, sure enough, a group of people have Han and Hu, Ning Shaobi, who is surrounded by brocade clothes, went to the deck, and several 'attendants' guards or carried mountain 'chickens', or carried muntjacs, roe deer and other things, the water and grass in the south of the Yangtze River are abundant, although this Fengdao is not very big, there are really a lot of small beasts in it, and there are even two people who actually carry a big python - the python body is always the thickness of a plate, and it is carried up by a thick branch, and the body struggles slightly......
Minghe hurriedly said: "'Girl', let's go back to the cabin first?" ”
Since Ning Shaobi has returned, it is also fast to come to You Ruoheng and Su Shina, and now because most of the people who went out to hunt with Ning Shaobi have returned with their prey, the deck suddenly became crowded, and Minghe and Mingji wanted to persuade Zhuo Zhaojie to return to the cabin for temporary refuge.
Zhuo Zhaojie also had this intention, secretly glared at Ning Shaobi, and was about to move, not wanting Ning Shaobi to give a few orders to the surroundings, everyone suddenly agreed, and they all carried the prey back to the rear cabin, and immediately made room on the deck, Ning Shaobi walked up to Zhuo Zhaojie and said with a smile: "How are you practicing the "Sunset Drum"? ”
"Don't worry about the world." Zhuo Zhaojie squeezed his fists and said lukewarmly.
When Ning Shaobi heard this, she 'revealed' a 'color' that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said, "Hey, you won't be angry until now, right?" It's been two or three days. ”
At this time, the matter of the hour and the Pu is also compatible, Minghe and Mingji both thought it was the Pu, although they didn't dare to speak openly, but secretly pulled Zhuo Zhaojie's sleeve, signaling her not to be too embarrassed with Ning Shaobi, but Zhuo Zhaojie secretly suffered a big loss, and there was no place to even say it, where would they pay attention to them? It's still gone!
She returned to the cabin and it took a while before she heard that You Ruoheng and Su Shina were back, although the two of them brought a small servant and a 'waiter' guard, it is said that they were still a little embarrassed, and even You Ruoheng personally went into the water to explore the bottom of the water, so after coming back, they all changed their clothes and bathed.
Zhuo Zhaojie was alone in the cabin after dinner, thinking that Ming'er should be about to return, and he didn't know if there was a chance to pester You Ruoheng on the way back to promise not to tell Ban...... After pondering for a long time, I felt that only by practicing "Sunset Flute and Drum" well could I have a way to survive - no matter what, I had to solve the reason I used when I came out this time, so that I could justify that the cattail was just a temporary game!
Therefore, after dinner, he ordered Minghe and Ming's 'Yin' not to disturb, took the pipa, and practiced seriously.
She reminisced about the vastness of the sunset on the lake at dusk, and her fingers gradually slowed down, but when she listened to Xie Yingmai playing "Sunset Drum", the peaceful, leisurely and tranquil artistic conception in the noise of the prosperous world was vaguely as if she had 'touched' the threshold of the 'door'.
I'm getting better and better...... On the bulkhead, the 'door' was opened without warning, and Ning Shaobi Shi Ran walked out and made a shushing gesture to the stunned Zhuo Zhaojie.
