Perhaps thinking that he was too bored to laugh, Xiaobao slowly restrained his smile, scratched the back of his head, and remembered something else.

"Ah, Ziyao, do you still know how to do bonsai now? I'm almost on my birthday, can you make a pot for me? ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ziyao lowered her head with a lonely expression, and said in a sad voice: "I will never be able to do bonsai again in the future." ”

Xiaobao was stunned, thinking that Ziyao was trying to escape his own requirements, so he said this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Why, just let you give me a basin, is it necessary to be so stingy?" You used to give it to your eldest sister. Why, is it true that only the eldest sister can be called what you make, and I can't? I'm also very good, okay! ”

Xiao Bao said a lot of things coaxingly, but after he saw Zi Yao's slowly raised hands, his mouth opened a little wider, and in the end, he looked at the bone scars like broken palms in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "How can this be!" Ziyao, who injured your hand like this? ”

Although the wound has been scarred, you can still imagine the terrifying scene when these delicate little hands were covered with blood that day. What kind of person can ruthlessly leave cruel scars on this!

"It's Su Yichen." Looking at the wound with a blank expression, Qiu Shichang said coldly, "That day, Shu Yichen didn't know what was crazy, and suddenly asked Ziyao to make a pot of pot art for him, which was to be used as a gift for him to ascend the throne. Ziyao didn't dare to be sloppy, so she made a pot of dragon spit beads for him. But when Shu Yichen leaned over to observe, because of his improper hand strength, he got the white beads on it, and he was furious, saying that Ziyao did it on purpose and touched his moldy head. At that moment, he grabbed the scissors on the table and stabbed them into Zi Yao's palm, Zi Yao fainted in pain at that time, and when he woke up, he stayed in the prison. Later, I went to beg the princess, and the princess also took a lot of effort to rescue Ziyao. It's a pity that Zi Yao's palm at this time is almost useless, and he has no strength, and he can't even do a simple stretch. ”

Although it has been a long time, but now that it sounds, Zi Yao is still trembling with fright, and Xiaobao is so angry that he clenches his fists, and he can't wait to pounce on him and beat that dead man again.

With a deep sigh, Qiu Shuang stroked Zi Yao's hair and said, "Poor child, no wonder you were so afraid of the people in the palace just now, but you actually encountered such a calamity. Okay, okay, it's all gone, those wicked people have been punished, and no one will hurt you anymore. ”

The comfort of Qiu Shuang made the cowering Zi Yao gradually calm down, and the bean-like tears slowly slid down her cheeks, and finally turned into a howling cry, hugging Qiu Shuang's waist, crying so sadly.

Seeing Ziyao crying so sadly, Xiaobao was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, not knowing how to comfort her. On the contrary, after crying openly, Ziyao gradually stopped crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was slightly ashamed.

"What, now you know I'm embarrassed?" Qiu Shuang wiped her cheek with a handkerchief, and when her fingers swiped it, she said, "Ziyao, you haven't said hello to the county lord until now, go quickly, and say okay to the county lord." ”

Slightly staggered, Zi Yao looked at the shadow over there, hesitated, only walked a few steps forward, and said timidly: "Zi Yao has seen it...... Met the princess. ”

A palace baptism made this girl who was once the most clinging to Baili Lan afraid, which has to be said to be sad. Although Bai Lilan didn't feel that this had any effect on her, looking at the little girl's frightened eyes, she still had an indescribable awkward feeling in her heart.

After greeting each other, Baili Lan and Qiu Shichang were separated on both sides of the dilapidated house, quietly waiting for the rain to stop, and for a while, they could only hear the sound of raindrops ticking.

Such a quiet little treasure was not adaptable, waved his arms and stretched his waist, and said: "I don't know when this rain will stop, or I will dance the sword for you, okay?" ”

Although it was a question, before he could get an answer, Xiaobao stood up on his own, took a wooden sword, and waved it smoothly. Don't look at Xiaobao's young age, light skills and swordsmanship are almost comparable to first-class masters, maybe this is the true meaning of a famous teacher and a high apprentice.

Attracted by Xiaobao's movements, Zi Yao stared at her big eyes and stared at it with a bad look. It didn't take long for me to forget the pain just now.

Unconsciously, the heavy rain outside the house has slowly stopped, and the atmosphere inside the broken house has changed a lot, and it is no longer as indifferent as just now.

Looking at the clear sky outside the window, Baili Lan took a light breath, felt the fragrance of fresh and clean earth around her nose, and couldn't help but feel relieved, and said, "It's time to go." I don't know where Qiu Gongzi is going? ”

"Oh, let's go back to our hometown in Yanghe."

Yanghe ......

Xiaobao frowned and thought about it, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "We just happened to be on the way!" Eldest sister, won't we just pass through the Yang River when we go to the desert? It looks like there won't be loneliness on the road this time! ”

Xiaobao's excitement made Baili Lan a little unhappy, because the original itinerary was all disrupted, and she didn't like things that were not arranged.

After speaking, Xiaobao also realized a problem, this decision was not discussed with the eldest sister at all, and it was decided like this, which would definitely make the eldest sister embarrassed. Secretly looked over, and sure enough, he saw that Baili Lan's expression was not depressed, and he didn't even look at himself.

How could Qiu Shichang, who had been mixed in the officialdom, not see Baili Lan's attitude, and wanted to leave with Ziyao first. Ke Ziyao is a slow girl, she didn't dare to approach Baili Lan just now, but now she has found the feeling of sticking to Bai Lilan, and now she doesn't want to be separated, and she wants to continue to rush with her. So when her eyes looked at Qiu Shichang, Qiu Shichang suddenly felt that one was two big, and on one side was his beloved sister, so he finally opened his heart and began to accept others again. On the other side is the woman she once loved the most in her heart, knowing her temperament very well, and what others impose on her is the only result of rejection.

At the moment when Qiu Shichang hesitated, Baili Lan saw a large dark cloud floating in front of him, if he didn't hurry up, then the day might have to be delayed to avoid the rain.

Pursing her lips, Bai Lilan turned around and got into the carriage first, and said: "Anyway, this is the only way, it doesn't matter if your peers don't go the same way, is it possible to open up another road to go!" ”

Although the tone was a little fierce, Bai Lilan basically acquiesced to the request to go on the road together, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and took their own actions and began to move on.

Qiu Shichang was about to carry Zi Yao into the car, but Zi Yao broke free of his embrace, ran under the carriage where Bai Lilan was, tilted his head, and asked pitifully, "Princess, can I ride in a carriage with you?" ”

Before Baili Lan returned, Xiaobao hurriedly lifted the curtain and said happily: "Yes, come up." Our carriage was big and spacious! After saying this, Xiaobao felt a chill on his neck, and it was obvious that it was the eye knife shot by Baili Lan.

With permission, Zi Yao turned around and glanced at Qiu Shichang, and after getting the other party's encouraging smile, with the help of Dong Xue, he carefully boarded the carriage and sat beside Bai Lilan, opposite Xiaobao.

I don't know why, from the first time she saw Ziyao, Xiaobao liked to tease this crying little girl. But since she knew that her hand was injured and she could no longer do her favorite pot art, she couldn't help but feel pity for her, and wanted to protect her well and never let her be wronged again.

There was the sound of wheels rolling in her ears, Zi Yao looked at Baili Lan cautiously and asked, "Princess, are you going to the desert?" What are you doing there, it's all sand, and there's no water to drink. ”

"It's Xiaobao's idea to go to the desert, I'm just fulfilling his wish."

"Wish?" Zi Yao looked at Xiao Bao strangely and asked, "Brother Xiao Bao, what dreams do you have in the desert?" ”

At the mention of this, Xiaobao craned his neck and described happily and proudly: "Don't look at the vastness of the desert, it looks terrible, in fact, as long as you master the law, you can still conquer her!" And this time, we are going to ride a camel, and it is a very fulfilling thing to think about riding a camel through the vast desert! ”

Listening to Xiaobao's intoxicated description, Zi Yao seemed to be immersed in it, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she said yearningly: "I heard from my eldest brother that the moon in the desert is very round, and it is very beautiful, more beautiful than anywhere in the Central Plains." Brother Xiaobao, if you see the moon in the desert, you must write down her appearance, and then come back and tell me! ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it." Xiaobao patted his chest and said.

"Although the moon in the desert is round, at the same time, it can also make people lose their way, forget the way they came, and then bury themselves in the desert and become dried corpses." The children were contemplating the beautiful scenery of the desert, but Bai Lilan suddenly said in a very sore voice, "No one will bring back the bones of the merchants, because there are so many people in that way, and no one will take this kind of thing to heart, and then the soul will wander on the desert for eternity, and there will be no salvation!" ”

Rubbing his arms, Xia Yu hugged his shoulders and said, "County Lord, we're going to the desert soon, don't talk about such a terrible thing, okay?" Even if you say something, you have to ask for good luck! ”

Glancing over the obviously frightened eyes of the two children, Baili Lan turned her head to look at the rainy rain outside the window, and said nonchalantly: "The desert is originally a place to eat people, and I didn't take Xiaobao to play in the mountains and rivers, but to take him to experience, it was already dangerous, and it was very likely that he would not be able to come back." What, are you scared? ”

"Who would be afraid!" Xiaobao straightened his chest, made a little manly appearance, and said, "I still have to protect the eldest sister and be the backing of all of you, of course I won't be afraid!" ”

Seeing Xiaobao's appearance of being obviously afraid, but pretending to be indifferent, Bai Lilan couldn't help laughing, then rubbed his forehead, and said: "If you want to be strong, you must first prepare your homework, so that you can protect yourself while not affecting others." ”
