Chapter 57: The Desert Walk
Standing outside the desert, Xiaobao looked at Qiu Ziyao reluctantly, and said with some sadness: "Ziyao, if I can go back alive, we won't make trouble in the future, okay together?" ”
Hearing Xiaobao say this, Qiu Ziyao's eyes immediately turned red, and she asked with tears in her voice: "Brother Xiaobao, didn't you say that the danger in the desert won't hurt you, how can you not come back alive?" Don't scare me! ”
Originally, I wanted to render the parting scene more tragic, but I didn't expect Ziyao to be too cooperative, and the tears of the kung fu just one sentence had already fallen, which made Xiaobao a little at a loss.
"Oh, I'm just talking, I can't be serious! Don't cry yet, if you let the eldest sister see it, she will definitely think that I have bullied you again and will teach me a lesson! ”
But now Qiu Ziyao is full of thoughts, all he thinks about is that he may never see Xiaobao again, the more he thinks about it, the more sad he becomes, pulls Xiaobao's sleeve, and says mournfully: "I don't want to be separated from Brother Xiaobao, let me go to the desert with you!" ”
"Huh!? I ......"
"Xiaobao, are you bullying Sister Ziyao again!"
Xiaobao secretly screamed "Oops", and at the same time turned to look at Bai Lilan flatteringly, and explained: "Eldest sister, I didn't bully Ziyao, I just said a word to her, she was so sad that she became what she is now." ”
Bai Lilan, who had just talked to Qiu Shichang, looked at Xiaobao coldly and asked, "Just said a word?" Then tell me what you said. ”
"This ......"
Just thinking about the moment when Xiaobao hesitated, Ziyao took a step forward, looked at Baili Lan and said sincerely: "Princess, don't blame Brother Xiaobao, he really didn't bully me, just told me that the desert is in danger, and he may not be able to come back." Princess, please let me go to the desert with you, I want to take care of you! ”
Reaching out to wipe Zi Yao's little face that was red from crying, Bai Lilan smiled, and that smile made Xiaobao's heart chill for a while.
"Maybe you can't come back? Xiaobao, do you have no confidence in yourself, or do you have no confidence in your eldest sister? ”
"That ......" reached out and grabbed the back of his head, Xiaobao felt that no matter what kind of excuse he weaved, it was vulnerable to the eldest sister, and it could be seen through at a glance, so he lowered his head appointively and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll be honest, the reason why I said that to Sister Ziyao just now was deliberate, I wanted to describe the desert as an extremely dangerous place, so that when I saw Sister Ziyao again, she would worship me even more." ”
Hearing that Xiaobao was still able to tell the truth, Bai Lilan restrained the cold expression just now. Getting up and walking in front of Xiaobao, Baili Lan asked, "Deliberately exaggerating the facts is also a kind of lying. Why are you lying in front of Ziyao, because you are used to lying, and treat the people around you like you treat the son of Chuanxi, right? It feels good to play with other people, doesn't it? ”
"Not really!" Xiaobao hurriedly shook his head and defended himself, "It's not right for me to deceive Ziyao, I beg the eldest sister not to be angry!" As for the reason, as for the reason...... "Xiaobao lowered his head and said with a face full of shyness and guilt, "I want to be a hero in Ziyao's sister's heart, and I don't want to be looked down upon by her." ”
"A manly man is about proving himself by his actions, not by listening to how beautiful his words are. The eldest sister asked you to find a way to deal with Chuan Xi Gongzi, to exercise your adaptability, not to let you develop the habit of lying, and even attack the people around you who love you the most, you know? ”
Nodding his head vigorously, Xiaobao said, "Sister, I know it's wrong, and I won't do it again in the future." ”
Touching Xiaobao's head, Baili Lan said, "You scared Zi Yao just now, go and apologize to Zi Yao." ”
Hearing this, Xiaobao bypassed Baili Lan and walked in front of Qiu Ziyao, pursed his lips, and then said, "Sister Ziyao, I'm sorry, I said something big just now." Our trip to the desert is carefully arranged, and with the eldest sister here, we will not be in danger. I'll look for you again when I get back, okay? ”
But it is obvious that Ziyao doesn't care if Xiaobao has lied to herself, in her heart, everyone's safety is the most important thing. Smiling and wiping the tears on her cheeks, Zi Yao said with a smile: "I'm very happy, you guys won't be in danger, I'm really happy!" Just now I was thinking that I would rather hear a lie, but I didn't expect it to work, which is great! ”
Looking at this girl's innocent and happy appearance, Bai Lilan had a headache and said: "Ziyao, you can't be so simple, others have deceived you, you should take revenge and come back, otherwise you will suffer in the future." ”
But Ziyao shook her head and said, "You are not outsiders, how can you harm me?" Isn't it, Brother Xiaobao? ”
After Zi Yao asked, Xiao Bao suddenly fell silent, which made Zi Yao, who was waiting for an answer with a smile on her face, gradually panic in her heart. Just as he was about to ask, Xiaobao suddenly approached Ziyao and kissed her loudly and crisply!
"Bo'er,"
In the midst of everyone's shock, Xiao Baoxiao made a solemn face and said as if he was saying an oath: "When you grow up, no one will bully you, because I will come to marry you!" ”
Xia Yu didn't hold back at first, and laughed out loud, and Zi Yao, who was confessed, also blushed, covering the cheek that had just been kissed, and the whole person turned into a red crab.
Qiu Shichang, who had packed up his things, came at this time, and was stunned when he saw his sister being slighted, and then walked to Baili Lan's side and said teasingly: "This family business, it's so decided?" ”
"It's up to them, I can't control it." Bai Lilan shook her head and smiled, secretly thinking that these children were really precocious, but they were only ten years old, so they were in a hurry to make a private decision for life.
The camel merchant behind him led a few camels in good condition, and said to Baililan: "Madam, the things you want are ready, are you going to leave now?" ”
Looking at the sky in the distance, Bai Lilan squinted her eyes and muttered softly, "It's time to go." ”
Hearing Baili Lan's words, Qiu Shichang's eyes were worried. Holding Ziyao with one hand, Qiu Shichang said, "I know that what you want to do can never be stopped. But this time you must be careful, the weather in the desert is unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried. Your end shouldn't be here, I'm waiting to see you at the top, so please don't have anything to do! ”
Reaching out to take the hooded cloak handed over by Chunfeng, Bai Lilan tied it casually to her body and said, "I will naturally be careful, you should take care of yourself, and take care of the future hostess of our Dingnan Palace." ”
His eyes were blazing looking at Bai Lilan, but he couldn't help but hear the other party mention himself in such a way, Zi Yao's face turned red again just now, and her eyes dodged, not knowing how to respond. And Xiaobao stood beside her, but she had a look of eagerness and anticipation.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, Bai Lilan threw Xiaobao a hooded cloak, and said at the same time: "Okay, let's leave it at that, when we return to the Central Plains from the desert, we will have a good time with Brother Qiu!" With that, Baili Lan flicked his fingers, and the camel seller pulled up the camels kneeling on the sand, and then pulled all the camels together, and walked slowly towards the vast desert.
Sitting on the camel, Xiaobao didn't forget to turn around and wave to Zi Yao, telling and shouting: "Zi Yao, you must take care of your body!" ”
Hurriedly waving his arms, Zi Yao nodded vigorously. Remembering that Xiaobao might not be able to see his movements, Ziyao stretched out his hand to his lips and shouted vigorously, "You also have to take care,"
It wasn't until Xiaobao and their figures disappeared on the horizon that Zi Yao put down her hands, looked at Qiu Shichang a little lonely, and asked, "Big brother, they will come back safely, right?" ”
"Of course," Qiu Shichang said as he stroked the top of Ziyao's hair, "You have to believe in Xiaobao, and you have to believe in the princess." After speaking, Qiu Shichang looked at the place where Baili Lan's figure disappeared and muttered softly, "Bai Li Lan is a person who creates miracles, and with her, miracles will continue to happen." ”
The freshness when he first entered the desert has been worn off, and now Xiaobao only feels that the sun is hot, even if he is wearing clothes, he feels that the scorching sun is roasting his skin.
Taking off the white cloth on his face, Xiaobao only felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, as if he had inhaled a scorching fire, making people so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.
"Eldest sister, this desert can be seen at a glance, why do we have to walk in it for so long?"
Turning around slightly, Bai Lilan looked at the sunburned Xiaobao, and couldn't help laughing: "It's only been two hours since we came in, can't you bear it now?" In that case, how can you talk about exploring in the desert? ”
"It's not that people can't stand the heat, but they can't figure out why they have to suffer such a crime!" Xiaobao said with a bitter face, "If there is really any treasure in this desert, let's just look for it here, but it's all sand here, why do you want to stay here and suffer?" ”
"Do you really think that this desert is as simple as you see it before your eyes?" Suddenly there was a gust of wind, Bai Lilan squinted, and after the gust of wind blew, she continued, "Feel this place with your eyes, and soon, you will find the surprise that the desert brings you!" ”
Although Xiaobao has always listened to Baili Lan's words, this time he did not agree with what the eldest sister said, his body shook slightly with the camel walking, his eyes were bored, and he only hoped that the night would come soon, so that he would not have to endure the pain of the burning heat like now.
But when night fell, it was surprisingly cold in the desert, and the cool breeze made Xiaobao's teeth tremble.
"Damn, what the hell is this place, it's hot to death during the day, and it's cold at night, I really don't understand why there is a place like a desert in the world, it's not beneficial to people!" Xiaobao was concentrating on muttering quietly, when he heard Xia Yu scream, which made his little heart tremble, and then looked up at the direction Xia Yu pointed, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Oh my God, how can there be water in the desert?!" Xiaobao rubbed his eyes, stared at the oasis in front of him in disbelief, and said, "Sister, did we come out of the desert?" Otherwise, I'm dazzled! ”
