Chapter 35: The Twin Foxes Are Lonely
Mei'er hasn't been found yet? In front of the third uncle, she swore to take care of her for the rest of her life! All the things are still waiting to be done by herself! Maybe one day she will die in Huangquan! How can she go to the love of her children?
Every time I faced her, I always felt a faint sense of guilt in my heart!
He had never experienced such an emotional thing.
He, hesitant.
simply excused himself to move his muscles and bones, and asked Chen Shaoan for a horse. The horse was a little further away from the Helian sisters' car.
Helian Thrush pouted in the car, secretly angry.
"Nasty Shi Jiu! Yesterday people protected you like that, afraid that your actions would not be good for your injuries. I beg my sister to drive away that Guli Zhuoya, not only did you not say a few good words to coax people? Today you actually got off the carriage and rode a horse, and you are still so far away from them! You are so worried about you, and you don't know what to do? Hmph! What a negative man!"
When I thought of the three words of negative man, I felt ashamed for no reason.
"Oops...... But did he promise you anything? No, no one promised you anything? How can you call him a negative man? What do you want him to promise? Oh yes! My brother's antidote has not been found? I think about it all day long! I'm ashamed!"
Helian Red Sleeves has been paying attention to his sister for the past few days, and at this time, he saw Helian Thrush lying on the side of the car window, his eyes unfocused, and he knew what she was thinking.
In the past two days, I sometimes saw her frowning and slightly sad for a while, and then the corners of her mouth rose and she was shy and timid, completely like a little daughter Sichun.
I sighed quietly in my heart, my sister has really grown up! It's not the same little girl she used to be......
But in the past few days, looking at Shi Jiu's expression and words towards his sister, my sister's thoughts? I'm afraid that Luohua intends to pay for the flowing water, and the flowing water is ruthless and bears the falling flowers......
For a while, I remembered that when I first met him when I was a girl, wasn't it the same? Thinking of him, a trace of sorrow flooded my heart.
Where are you now?
Have you ever thought of me as I did......?
Suddenly there was a cheer outside the car window!
"It's here!haha...... "
"It's time for Zuohan Merlin! brothers!"
"Paradise on the steppe! Zuohan Merlin! Here we come...... "
From a distance, I saw that the tents of the grassland people were erected on the grassland, like round mushrooms emerging after the rain.
The guards in the caravan outside the car shouted again.
Looking out of the car, I was getting closer and closer to the tents of the steppe herders.
A place was chosen, and a camp was set up.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and Luo Sanye took a few pipes to visit the grassland tribes here in advance.
The place where the camp is stationed is the territory of the Kunpeng tribe on the grassland. The Kunpun were one of the larger tribes under the tent of the Khan Khan.
The warriors of the tribe are brave and good at fighting, and every year there are a large number of steppe warriors.
In a row, several martial arts competitions have been firmly in the top three positions, so in recent years, he has been living on Zuohan Merlin.
The patriarch of the Kunpeng tribe, Ye Han Kulin, is a civilized visionary.
When he saw that the Central Plains had developed technology and culture, he sent a group of relatively shrewd grassland people to the Central Plains every year to do some trade, so as to learn the culture of the Central Plains.
He flooded every part of the clan with these people who had stayed in the Central Plains, and imperceptibly applied some of the more developed technologies in the Central Plains to the construction of the clan.
Therefore, among the tribes under the tent of the Khan Khan, the Kunpong tribe was second only to the Khan in terms of wealth.
Even Khan Khan was drunk at a banquet where tribal leaders gathered, and publicly announced that after his abdication, he would be replaced by Yehan Kurin.
Yehan Kulin is a quick-witted person, who knows that the tree is a big wind, and is afraid of being hated by others.
At that time, he hurriedly pretended to be frightened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying that he had no intention of fighting for the throne.
Even so, Khan Khan's eldest son was jealous of the feast. Secretly united with several other powerful tribal leaders to resolutely squeeze the Yehan Kulin clan.
Whenever there is a war on the grassland, the children of the Kunpeng tribe will be sent to the battlefield to fight.
In recent years, many children of the Kunpeng tribe have died on the battlefield.
Yehan Kulin has always been forbearing, and over the years, because of the constraints of all parties, the apparent strength of the Kunpeng clan seems to have been gradually weakened.
After Luo Sanye returned from the Kunpeng clan, he brought a piece of news.
In this year's martial arts competition, Khan Khan, who has not been out of the account in recent years, actually came, and lived in the silver tent by the hot spring lake.
When the game starts tomorrow, they will watch the game from the grandstand of the arena and present awards to the warriors who have won the rankings.
Chen Shao'an heard Luo Sanye say that several teams of merchants from the Western Regions came this time, and hurriedly called Shang Shi Jiu to go to the market.
Chu Chongshan also took a vacation from his subordinates, leaving only two people to take care of the camp, and the rest of them also went to the market to see the exotic customs.
When Helian Thrush heard that he was going to the market to play, he couldn't sit still anymore and begged his sister to go with him.
Helian Red Sleeves had no interest in these and was reluctant to move. told Helian Thrush a few words, asked her to disguise herself as a man again, and let her go.
Helian Thrush was mixed in a group of people, and when he saw that there were many people and he was embarrassed to get too close to Shi Jiu, he wandered around not far from Shi Jiu.
Everyone knew about the two of them, and they all had a heart to rub together, deliberately bringing the two closer and closer.
When you go to the bazaar, you can see that the vendors have surrounded a place into a long and oblong trade road. Those who came to trade placed their goods on both sides of the trade routes, leaving a path for people to walk in between.
Everyone walked along the way, and saw that most of the people selling goods on both sides were grassland people, and occasionally some Central Plains people who stayed in the grassland.
From time to time, you can also see some people from the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes, which are strange and interesting.
Most of the local products on both sides of the trade road are some local products from the grassland, and people constantly come forward to inquire about the price, and after the negotiation is completed, they are exchanged for trade in the form of barter.
In the center of the circle, several large platforms were erected.
Some Hu people from the Western Regions were performing some juggling stunts above, and the sound of applause was heard from time to time from the audience.
Chen Shao'an saw that some people from Chu Chongshan were looking at the stage, so he frowned and whispered to Chu Chongshan.
"It's true that these Western Regions Hu people are juggling is a bit interesting, but the most exciting thing is at night!"
"Oh, what's the best in the evening?"
"Hey, hey, hey...... When the evening comes, the brothers and the others come to see, and you will know what is wonderful...... "
When everyone saw him selling guanzi, they saw that it was not far from dark anyway, so they didn't ask.
Bang Du had a thought in his heart, and he would definitely come out at night to see what was wonderful?
Helian thrush saw Chen Shao'an squeezing his eyebrows there, and his eyes were dripping.
I pricked up my little ears and listened carefully, but I couldn't really hear it. What do you only hear at night...... What's wonderful?
But seeing Chen Shao'an's obscene look, he guessed in his heart that it must not be a good thing? I made up my mind that I would definitely come out and see it at night! If it wasn't something serious, I must watch Shi Jiuge! lest I learn from them!
Along the way, I also saw a lot of strange gadgets.
I thought that I would be able to barter, but I never thought that these grassland people who sold goods saw that they were from the Central Plains, and actually agreed to let them buy them with money.
Someone next to him explained that most of these steppe people who were willing to take cash were from the Kunpeng tribe.
Everyone can't help but have an understanding of the degree of civilization of the Kunpeng tribe in their hearts.
Everyone bought a few small items and prepared to give them to their friends and relatives as a souvenir when they returned.
Helian thrush came to the grassland for the first time, and the girl's nature was even more fond of all kinds of trinkets. I even looked at a lot of small objects, but I just fiddled with them and put them down.
Passing by an old man's stall selling trinkets, Helian Thrush immediately took a fancy to a small pendant carved from the teeth of some beast.
The pendant was only half the thickness of a little finger, snow-white and transparent, crystal round, and a line of curved grassland characters was engraved on it.
The seller was an elderly grassland old man, who could also speak fluent Central Plains.
Later, when I asked, sure enough, this old man was also from the Kunpeng tribe.
He saw Helian Thrush holding the small pendant and explained the origin of the pendant.
From his mouth, he knew that this tooth was the fangs of a small beast that lived on the Gucci Mountain.
This small beast has a gentle temperament and only preys on hares and mice, and never attacks cattle, sheep and livestock.
This little beast looks like a wild fox on the grassland, its fur is bright yellow, but there are two silver furs on its nose that go straight to the top of its head, it looks very cute, and its body is much larger than that of wild foxes.
This little beast has only one mate in its life.
If one of them dies, the other will stay there without eating or drinking until he dies.
When the prairie people saw their single-minded devotion to each other, they called them the Pyridi Foxes. Translated into the Central Plains, it is a twin fox, which means that the twin amphibious will never abandon it for a lifetime.
Helian Thrush listened to the little stars in his eyes, and he was full of emotion about the undying love of this little beast.
The old man also talked about the twin foxes, and only the male fox had a pair of such fangs. If the female dies first, she knocks the fangs off the rocks below the mountain and returns to her dead mate.
Unable to hunt because of the loss of its fangs, it will eventually starve itself to death in order to martyr its mate.
The people of the grassland are grateful for the unswerving love of the twin foxes for their partners, so they never kill this animal.
Occasionally, if you pick up a knocked fang, you will wear it on your body. to show that he will also be unswerving to his partner like a twin fox to death.
The old man spoke eloquently, and everyone listened with relish.
The old man said that this tooth was occasionally picked up by him a few years ago, but unfortunately his wife had long since died, so he did not want to wear it. It coincided with this market, so I took it out and sold it.
The grassland language engraved on the twin fox teeth is translated into the Central Plains language as "staying together in this life, and not swerving in this life!"
Helian Thrush clutched the tooth tightly in his palm and refused to let it go. He just looked at Shi Jiu from time to time with those big watery eyes.
Shi Jiu listened to the old man tell the story of the twin foxes, and at this time he saw Helian Thrush's expression, how could he not know her mind?
But if I bought it for her, wouldn't it become a thing of affection? But I didn't know if I was affectionate to her, and what happened to me? What if I ...... Wouldn't she have missed her life?
To buy, or not to buy, Shi Jiu hesitated in his heart.
How? This, that's a real problem?
Helian Thrush originally wanted Shi Jiu to buy these twin fox teeth and give them to himself.
At this moment, seeing Shi Jiu hesitating there, he was silent. I can't help but feel colder and cooler, and my heart is inexplicably sour.
His face was full of anticipation, but then he couldn't help but flash a touch of sadness.
He didn't like me!
Chen Shao'an saw clearly and understood from the side, and saw the grief flashing on Helian Thrush's face. With an idea, he stepped forward and touched Shi Jiu.
"I'm going to tell you to bring a money bag when you come out? You don't listen! What's the matter? You don't have any money, right? You have to borrow it from the third uncle! Really? Remember to pay it back?"
took out the money bag and put it in Shi Jiu's hand.
Shi Jiu also saw the sadness on Helian Thrush's face, and he couldn't bear to see her sad in his heart. Hurriedly asked the old man the price, and wanted to buy the twin fox teeth.
Helian Thrush asked softly, "Old man, shouldn't these twin fox teeth be a pair, why do you only have one here?"
The old man smiled and said that he had only picked up one, so there was only this one.
Helian Thrush slowly lowered the twin fox teeth held in the palm of his hand.
"If there's only one, it's always lonely, what do I want it to do?"
Helian Thrush looked lonely and turned to leave the old man's stall.
Her heart is dead.
Shi Jiu looked lonely as he watched Helian Thrush put down the twin fox teeth. In his heart, he also apologized and regretted, and the secret regret made Helian Thrush sad and sad.
Chen Shao'an patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and chased after Helian Thrush with Chu Chongshan.
The old man handed the money back to Shi Jiu.
"Little brother, if you don't buy it, just take back the money. "
Shi Jiu gently waved his hand to the old man and held the twin fox teeth in his hand.
"I bought this twin fox tooth. "
He smiled at the old man and turned to chase after everyone.
The old man looked at Shi Jiu's back, shook his head and smiled, and sighed lightly.
Helian Thrush didn't have any wanderlust at this time, and he only felt self-pity and self-harm in his heart.
But seeing that Shi Jiu also chased after him, he forced a smile and said, "Brother Shi Jiu, everyone is waiting for you to see the juggling?
This was the first time that Helian Thrush had spoken to him tonight, but there was a hint of alienation and sadness in these words.
Although she smiled like a flower, the sadness in her eyes lingered.
Turning to go, at this time, her heart was broken.
That sourness occupied her entire heart, and tears had already filled the bottom of her heart.
Shi Jiu quickly caught up, and everyone came to the stage.
There is a witty harlequin performing on the stage, and the harlequin is performing very hard. The crowd of people watching around rang out bursts of laughter from time to time.
Helian Thrush watched the performance on stage, and from time to time let out a happy laugh. It's as if nothing happened just now, and the whole person seems to be back to the lively and cheerful girl she was at the beginning. In fact, several people know that she is just forcing a smile.
