Section 14 Elopement for love
When I came to the Xiong tribe, I had no confidence in my mission, and I didn't know how to broker an alliance between our two tribes.
Unexpectedly, this guy, known as the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, heard that we could find a longevity spirit grass for him, so he happily agreed to the alliance request of the Lieshan clan.
After living in the Xuanyuan tribe for a few days, the Yellow Emperor appointed the high priest and a few tribesmen to escort me back to the Lieshan clan, and the return gift I brought with me was naturally the ginseng that our Lieshan clan lacked the most to heal injuries. But I know that the biggest intention of the Yellow Emperor's move is not to form an alliance, his real intention is to let the high priest accompany me back to the Lieshan Clan, and then go with me to the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain to find a 10,000-year-old spirit grass for him to prolong his life.
If I and the High Priest can find the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass in the Kunlun Mountain, the realm of our Lie Mountain Clan, if this thing is far better than their ginseng, why should we ask them for ginseng in exchange for the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass? Wouldn't this be worth the loss? But when I thought of the successive defeats of our Lieshan clan in the battlefield, as well as the battles of those injured tribes that were in danger, I had no choice but to swallow my anger and silently accept this reality.
The clear sky tribe was far away, and the wilderness journey was scorching, so our group left the bear tribe.
Since I had already walked this path once, the return journey was familiar to me, and under my guidance we were soon back in the realm of the Lieshan Clan.
Emperor Yan is a good leader, for the future of the tribe, he has a high enthusiasm for the alliance, and on the top of the mountain for the arrival of the Xuanyuan clan's female sacrifice, in order to express our Lieshan clan's respect for the Xuanyuan clan.
Our Lieshan clan is very poor, and although the altar is full of abundant food, it is all prepared for the guests. As the main escort, I could have enjoyed these sumptuous dinners, but I only ate a small piece of meat, and then went back to rest in a sullen mood.
At night, I originally thought that the high priest would go back to stay in the big grass room prepared for her by Emperor Yan, but I didn't expect that she would come directly to the residence of Master and me after the banquet to stay overnight.
Our house was very pleasant, and the mud on the floor was no different from the outside, which made me embarrassed.
The priestess, however, seemed very casual, and without complaining, she washed her feet and face under my gaze, and went straight to her room to sleep.
The beautiful woman stayed at home, which made me very uneasy, and I couldn't sleep all night.
In the dead of night, a thin dark night flashed in front of my bed under the moonlight, and I knew that it was Sister Ju who had walked into my room.
Before I could turn over to look at her, I heard her call softly to me, "Grain, are you asleep?"
I hurriedly turned over and sat on the couch, looking at Sister Ju under the moonlight with stunned eyes, and I was stunned for a second.
This is the first time I have seen a man who has taken off his animal clothes, his soft shoulders are draped with long black and beautiful hair, and his fair skin is so delicate that it is suffocating. The face that was better than the immortals, and the big eyes with affection, completely conquered me in an instant.
How can there be such a beautiful girl in this world, soft and tender like water, definitely more fairy than a fairy. I excitedly asked, "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
He nodded slightly, then looked at me silently, not saying a word.
I think it was probably the first time she had been outside, and she was very uncomfortable with the unfamiliar surroundings, and the darkness of the night scared her.
After a while, I plucked up my courage and patted the bed next to me and said, "Then you can sleep with me, and I will sit here with you, so that you don't have to be afraid." ”
After hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on his face, and then he shook his head and replied, "No." Although you and I have a fateful marriage, this marriage is not accepted by the world. I'm a priest, and I can't be close to any man in this life. ”
I don't have any feelings about their Xuanyuan Clan's rules, at least not in our Lieshan Clan. So I lifted the cotton cloth and said, "Since we are destined to marry, why do you care so much. This is in our Lieshan Clan, no one will come to control us, just lie down and sleep. ”
After much hesitation, he finally listened to my persuasion and lay down on the bed beside me.
I sat at one end of the bed and watched her sleep. She lay flat on the bed, but instead of falling asleep immediately, she looked at me silently with her big eyes open.
We looked at each other like this, and after a long time he suddenly said, "Fool, do you really want to sit like this all night? ”
Lie down and sleep together......? , The blood immediately began to roll in my mind, this is the second time she has taken the initiative, do I still want to continue to play stupid?
No, I decided not to be a fool, because our marriage is already a foregone conclusion, so why bother with those cumbersome worldly etiquette.
After much thought, I slowly got into the cotton cloth and lay down beside him, with a worried heart.
Suddenly, a woman's fragrance filled my nostrils, and I was a little dizzy, and it was definitely a feeling of being completely mesmerized.
At this time, he reached out and covered me with a cotton cloth, rested his head on my shoulder, and then closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Probably too tired, she fell asleep after a while, breathing very lightly and evenly, a big sleeping beauty.
I was relieved to see her fall asleep, so I closed my eyes too, and my young body quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, when I woke up in a daze, the sun was already shining on the windowsill, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Zhu Zheng staring at me with affection.
Young and excited, I immediately blushed and asked involuntarily, "You, have you woken up?"
Sister Ju smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect you to be so young and snoring when you sleep." ”
"Yes, yes?", I naturally didn't know that I was snoring in my sleep, and Master had never told me before.
Sister Ju smiled: "Yes." But fortunately, the snoring is very small and not noisy. ”
I smiled awkwardly, then hurriedly got up and said, "Let's hurry up, in case someone else sees it." ”
Sister Ju nodded, her face flushed.
Next, Sister Ju was very busy, as an inter-tribal ceremony, she had to go to meet the visits of the leaders of the major tribes, and then she would go to the tribal altar to hold different sacrifices for the tribe. Although she is very busy, she will come back to my house at night to stay overnight, and of course she sleeps with me every night.
One night, however, I thought she was asleep. Suddenly, she turned over and hugged me tightly, and then said to me with tears in her eyes: "Grain, we really can't be together in the future, if our Xuanyuan tribesmen know, they will definitely not let us go." ”
It turned out that she had been thinking about it in her heart, and it seemed that although she was very calm on the surface these days, she must have been in pain in her heart. She was only three years older than me, but her thinking seemed much more mature and calm than mine, and I was like a child in front of her.
Seeing her crying so sadly, I lost my way for a while, and I didn't know how to comfort her. After half a ring, I finally held back a sentence: "So, what should I do?"
When she heard this, she stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, then looked at me with pleading eyes and asked, "Grain, why don't we go together, leave the territory of the Youxiong clan and your Lieshan clan, and let's go to a place where there is no one to live together." ”
In the face of such a plea, I didn't think much about it, I felt that having her company was equivalent to having everything, and I didn't think about it, so I replied: "Okay, I'll go with you wherever you say, in short, we will always be together in the future." ”
I don't know why I suddenly said such a sentence, and this perfect answer made Ju feel completely satisfied. She smiled brightly, hugged me tightly like a gentle sheep, rested her head on my face, and fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, we said goodbye to Master, saying that we were going to find the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass for the Emperor and use this as an excuse to leave the tribe.
Hearing that we were going to accomplish such a great task, Master did not question it, and also notified Emperor Yan and the tribesmen to come and see us off.
Before parting, the expectant eyes of the countless tribesmen left an indelible impression on my heart. Especially Master, the eager eyes that longed for me to be famous in the world and save the tribesmen could not calm my heart for a long time.
But I still left, taking with the two large bags of food and linen that the tribesmen had gathered, and left the Lieshan tribe with the Gur.
After leaving the tribe's base camp, the two of us traveled west along the Great Plains on the north side of the Wei River. In order to leave the place where there are people, we worked tirelessly to climb the mountains and mountains, and along the Kunlun Mountain, we kept moving towards the direction of the sunset into the earth.
We thought that as long as we traveled in a fixed direction, the farther we went, the better away we could from this turbid and restless world, so that we could find a place outside the world and live our quiet and comfortable life as two.
But we ignore the fact that when we have eaten all the food we carry with us, hunger becomes the first big problem in front of us.
