Chapter 423: Green Mountains and Green Waters (19)
With the money, he bought four sweet apples, two raisin buns, a bottle of wine, some peppered meat, a bag with string attached, and a thick red woolen blanket.
Filin used all the tricks Etro had taught him to buy things while following Ariana undetected.
To make matters worse, he had to follow her equally low-key to the millinery shop to buy silk ribbons, and then follow her as she set off to walk back to Fort Buck.
At a certain turn in a path, he caught up with her in the shade of the bushes, tiptoed behind her, and unexpectedly picked her up and spun her around. She was taken aback.
Filin put her down and kissed her properly, but he couldn't tell why kissing her in the dazzling sunlight outside, the feeling would be so different, he only knew that all the troubles in his heart were suddenly swept away.
Filin quickly bowed to her. "I wonder if this lady will be able to dine with Filin?"
"Oh, people can't. Her eyes sparkled as she replied, "People will be discovered." ”
Filmin looked around exaggeratedly, then grabbed her by the arm and pulled her off the road. There were only a few bushes behind the woods, and he urged her to leap through the low-hanging branches, over a fallen log, and over a stag brush that was wet and sticking to people's legs.
When people come to the edge of a cliff above the sometimes rumbling and sometimes rustling ocean, they climb like children down the narrow crack in the rock to a small sandy beach.
Driftwood is piled up in this corner of the bay, and a small puddle of sand and almost dried shale is in an overhanging area of the cliff, but it still can't shade the rays of sunlight that shine from the sky, and at the moment the sun is giving off a surprising warmth.
Ariana took the food and blanket from Filin, and ordered Filin to make a fire, but she was the one who made the damp wood burn.
The sea salt gave the flames a burst of green and blue, and its abundant heat made people put their cloaks and hats aside. It felt so good to sit beside her and watch her under the open blue sky, the dazzling sunlight making her hair sparkle and the wind blowing her cheeks red.
People laughed loudly and mixed their voices with the calls of seabirds, without fear of disturbing others.
People drank the bottle of wine, grabbed the food with their fingers, and feasted on it, then walked to the edge of the wave and washed their sticky hands.
People crawl among the rocks and driftwood in search of the treasures of the storm, giving Filmin a self he hasn't felt since returning from the mountains, and Ariana looks like the wild girl Filmin knew when she was a child.
Her unbraided hair just floated down her face. As he chased her, she slipped and fell, and the people fell into the tide together.
Then, as people got into the blankets, she took off her shoes and socks and dried them by the fire, and lay back on the blankets to stretch her limbs.
Suddenly, it seemed like a very good idea to keep each other naked.
Ariana wasn't as sure as Film. "There's a lot of sand and gravel under the blanket, and he doesn't want to go back with a bruise on his back!"
Filin leaned over and kissed her. "Isn't it worth it for you?" I asked her, as if persuasively.
"Of course not!" she suddenly shoved Filmin to make Filmin lie on his back, and then boldly pounced on Filmin, "but Filmin is worth it." ”
When she leaned over to look at Filin, her eyes flashed with a frenzied light, which really surprised Filin.
When she took possession of the film furiously, he realized that she was right, whether it was the gravel or her warm body, no amount of bruises were worth it.
The blue sky hung through her waterfall-like hair, and Filin had never seen anything so magnificent.
After a while, she lay almost entirely on top of Firin, and then people took a nap in the cold but sweet cold air. Finally she sat up trembling and put on the clothes beside her.
Filming reluctantly watched as she re-tied the straps on her blouse, as the darkness and candlelight had always made it impossible for Filin to see her body. Seeing Filin's stunned expression, she stuck out her tongue at Filin, and then paused.
Filin's braided hair was messy, so she pulled Filin's braid out and framed his face, then folded her red cloak and put it on Filin's forehead, shook her head and said, "You should be an extremely simple girl." ”
Filmin scoffed and replied, "I'm not such a decent man. ”
She looked like she was angry. "You're not obnoxious!" she said, gesturing thoughtfully along the texture of Filin's chest, "I heard in the laundry two days ago that you are the best stable man since Borges. I guess it's because your hair isn't as coarse as most Buck Duchy men, so it makes you look different. She twisted Filin's hair into a strand of hair with her fingers.
"Borges!" Filin snorted. "You don't mean these women have a crush on him, do you?"
She frowned at Film. "How could it be? He is a decent man in addition to his personal hygiene and attitude!
His teeth were straight, and his eyes were charming! His deep humor was intimidating, but there were many who wanted to make it easy for him.
All the washermaids agreed that they would not hesitate to make out with him if he showed up in their bed. ”
"But that's unlikely to happen. Filmin noted.
"It's unlikely. She thoughtfully agreed.
That's another thing they agree with. Only one person claimed that she had made love with him at the Spring Festival of a certain year, and admitted that he was drunk at the time. Filmin believed that she said so. Ariana glanced at Filin, then laughed out loud at the incredulous look on Filin's face.
"She added," continued Ariana teasingly, "'He's learned a lot from the stallion in his time, and the tooth marks on Film's shoulder took a whole week to fade. '”
"How is that possible!" Filin's ears were heating from Borges. "He wouldn't abuse a woman like that, no matter how drunk he was. ”
"Silly boy!" Ariana shook her head at Firin, tying her hair. "No one said she was being abused. She glanced at Filin slyly, "Or upset." ”
Filmin still didn't believe it. Filmin declared again. Borges: This woman likes that?
"Does he have a small crescent-shaped scar here?" she pointed to Filin's buttocks, then looked at Filin through her eyelashes.
Fei Lin opened his mouth and shouted again: "Fei Lin doesn't believe that woman is talking nonsense about such a thing." Filin finally spoke.
"In the laundry room, they don't talk about anything else. Ariana revealed calmly.
Fei Lin couldn't hold back until he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart. "And what do they say?" as the people worked together in the stables, he surprised Filin by his adventures.
"He said that his eyes and eyelashes were beautiful, but the rest of the parts needed to be washed well, and many times. ”
Filin laughed happily and remembered those words so that he would be embarrassed the next time he bragged to Filin. "So, what about Your Majesty?" Filin encouraged her.
"Your Majesty. Hmmm......" She smiled at Filmin in a daze, and then laughed when she saw Film's face sank. "People don't talk about those princes, dear. There are some rules that still have to be followed. ”
Filin pulled her down and lay down beside Filin and kissed her. She clung to Filin's body, and then the two of them lay quietly under an endless blue sky.
At this moment, Filin's heart was filled with peace and tranquility that he had not enjoyed for a long time. Fihrin knew that nothing could separate people, not even the king's plans or fate.
It seemed like it was time to tell her about the problem between Filmin and Crick and Hermione.
She lay warmly beside Film, listening to Film's confession of Creek's stupid plan and Filmin's awkward situation, and Filmin didn't realize he was a fool until he felt a warm teardrop drop fall down his neck.
"Aliana?" Filin sat up in surprise, looked at her face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" her voice rose as she breathed tremblingly. "You lie down beside Filin and tell me that the King has betrothed another lady to you, and you ask me what is wrong?"
"Filmin only promises you. Filin said firmly.
"It's not that simple, Kaz Silverlight. She said with her eyes wide open and very serious. "So, what do you do when the king tells you you you have to associate with her?"
"Not taking a shower makes her stink so she doesn't dare to approach?" Filin asked.
Fihrin had hoped that she would laugh, but she moved away and looked at Fihrin with sad eyes. "People don't have any chance, there's no hope at all. ”
The sky seemed to echo her words, and suddenly it darkened, and a gust of wind howled by. Ariana leaped to her feet, grabbing her cloak and shaking the sand off it. "He's going to be scolded again. Filin should have been back at Fort Buck a few hours earlier. ”
She said coldly, as if those were the only things she cared about.
"Ariana, they'll have to kill me to separate us!" Filin said angrily to her.
She packed up what she had bought from the market. "Kaz, your tone sounds so childish," she said calmly, "like a silly and stubborn child." ”
The first drops of rain fell like small pebbles that had been dropped, creating small ripples in the sand, and then it turned into a downpour.
Her words left Filin speechless, and he couldn't think of anything worse she could say to me.
Filin put away the red blanket and shook the sand off it, only to see her tighten her cloak to resist the strong wind.
