265: Ignorant daughter's love
Xuanyuan Mo smiled: "Thanks to the lady's praise!" Someone's rogue behavior is rewarded with a roll of the eyes thrown at him by his lover: "You just snort!" ”
Xuanyuan Mo laughed, and in an instant, his expression became solemn, and said: "He ascended the throne at the age of eight, was in power at the age of fourteen, was captured at the age of sixteen, and a series of deeds such as his peace and triumph, I really admire it from the bottom of my heart." However, Kowloon's succession may be the regret of his life! Ling Wushuang sighed: "Yes, this may be the biggest regret of his life, watching his children kill each other for the sake of chairs, and make a fuss about the six relatives who don't recognize each other!" ”
"I have to set a rule for our children and grandchildren, we must only marry one wife in our lives, so that they don't have more women and more children when they come, and they will make a fuss about the Nine Dragons taking the heir!" Ling Wushuang burst out laughing: "What are you talking about? If you want me to say, we won't see it then, so let them go!" ”
Xuanyuan Mo said stubbornly: "No, they must be like the two of us, they only have each other in their hearts, so they can live without worry, right?" ”
Seeing the serious look on the man's face, Ling Wushuang smiled at him: "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want!" ”
The county lord of Qingyang slept soundly as usual last night, and she got up early this morning, she did not go to Muxi Palace to find Yu Wenming Xuan to play, but under the service of Gui Mama and Ruan Cui, she quietly ate her meal, sat alone on the soft couch for a while, and then got up and went to the imperial garden.
Mama Gui and Ruan Cui asked her if she had anything on her mind, but she shook her head and denied it.
Actually, she has something on her mind.
Last afternoon, Yu Wenming Xuan asked her to marry him, and she should accept Yu Wenming Xuan, and after asking Ling Wushuang, Xuanyuan Mo, and Gui Mama, she would reply to him.
But what is it to marry him?
Is it to be his princess?
"Mo, don't you see that Ling'er!" Ling Wushuang and Xuanyuan Mo chatted while walking, and inadvertently looked up, and saw the county lord of Qingyang with his back to them, standing next to a half-human-high cluster of flowers not far in front of him, looking down at her feet, only to see that where she was standing, layers of petals were falling, just like that, she still grabbed the flowers on the flower branches in her hands from time to time, pulled the petals, and threw them on the ground one by one, "Isn't she happy?" Ling Wushuang frowned slightly, turned his head and asked Xuanyuan Mo.
Xuanyuan Mo smiled: "The little girl should have something on her mind, go over and ask, let's not know the way!" Ling Wushuang nodded, "Why don't you see the imperial brother by her side?" "The stinky boy stays with the little girl almost every day, and it's good today, I haven't even seen a figure.
"He might have something to do." Xuanyuan Mo excused Yu Wenming Xuan.
"The purpose of his coming to Xuanyuan is to make Ling'er happy, and then think about how to marry Ling'er, apart from this, what else is he busy with?" Pulling out his hand from Xuanyuan Mo's palm, Ling Wushuang had displeasure on his face, and walked quickly towards the county lord of Qingyang, "The old slave (slave maid) has seen the queen mother!" Mama Gui and Ruan Cui saw Ling Wushuang coming over and hurriedly greeted him.
Ling Wushuang nodded, raised his hand to avoid their etiquette, and then took the hand of the Qingyang County Lord, with a smile in his eyes, and asked softly, "Who made us Ling'er unhappy?" The county lord of Qingyang raised his eyes to look at her and shook his head: "Sister Shuang'er, I'm not unhappy!" Ling Wushuang smiled: "Then you just have something on your mind, don't you?" I didn't see the Qingyang County Lord shaking his head, Ling Wushuang said again: "Say it and see if Sister Shuang'er can help you." ”
The county lord of Qingyang lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, and said a little crampedly: "I, I have something I want to ask, ask Sister Shuang'er and Brother Mo!" As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, with a question in her eyes: "Sister Shuang'er, can I only eat Brother Moon if I marry him?" The long, curly eyelashes, blinking with her big crystal eyes, flashed and flashed, like two beautiful feather fans.
"Eat his mouth?" Ling Wushuang looked at the county lord of Qingyang suspiciously, it was obvious that she didn't understand what the county lord of Qingyang meant, Xuanyuan Mo stepped forward at this time, covered his lips with his fists, chuckled, and then asked the county lord of Qingyang: "Is it your brother Moon who said this to you?" "Good boy, he is even darker than him, and he uses this method to get Xiao Ling'er's wen.
The county lord of Qingyang nodded affirmatively, and then pulled his fingers a little twisted and said: "Brother Moon's mouth, sweet, soft, and a little cool, is as delicious as a marshmallow!" At this time, Ling Wushuang finally understood, understood what the Qingyang County Lord just said meant, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Mo, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother Huang came up with such a method to take advantage of Ling'er. ”
"You, how can this be called taking advantage? Yu Xuan likes Ling'er so much, and Ling'er is innocent, if he doesn't do this, if he wants them to really come together, it will be much more difficult! Xuanyuan Mo and Ling Wushuang faced each other, smiling at the corners of their lips, and looked at the county lord of Qingyang.
And the county lord of Qingyang was in ignorance, she didn't know the meaning of Xuanyuan Mo and Ling Wushuang's words, blinked her eyes to look at this, and then at that, Ling Wushuang smiled softly: "Ling'er, if you want to eat marshmallows at any time, marry your brother Moon." ”
Mama Gui and Ruan Cui glanced at each other, and excitement welled up in their eyes at the same time.
It's done, the marriage between their little county lord and His Royal Highness King Xian is done!
The county lord of Qingyang's eyes blinked, as if she was thinking about what Ling Wushuang said, and suddenly, she turned to look at Mama Gui and asked loudly, "Mama, do you think I want to marry Brother Moon?" Mama Gui walked into her, smiled lovingly, and said, "His Royal Highness King Xian is very good to the county lord, if the county lord marries him, the old slave will be very happy!" "Mama promised her to marry Brother Moon, and Sister Shuang'er and Brother Mo also promised her to marry Brother Moon, so can she immediately go to Brother Moon and give him permission? The county lord of Qingyang slowly lowered his head, rubbed his toes against the ground, and whispered to himself: "Should I go to Brother Moon now and tell him that I want to marry him?" Am I going? ”
When he got up early, Yu Wenming Xuan waited left and right, and before the county lord of Qingyang came to him, he wanted to get out of Muxi Palace and go to the county lord of Qingyang to have a meal together, but he was afraid of meeting Ling Wushuang and Xuanyuan Mo.
Because if the county lord of Qingyang doesn't come to him for a meal, most of them will go to the Tilting Palace to use it with Ling Wushuang and Xuanyuan Mo.
Coupled with the problem of him fooling the county lord of Qingyang last afternoon, he was very weak-hearted, for fear that Ling Wushuang and Xuanyuan Mo would laugh at him, laughing at him for using methods to trick the county lord of Qingyang into marrying him.
After eating the meal silently, with complicated feelings, he got up and walked out of the Muxi Palace, walked and walked, and unconsciously entered the imperial garden.
When the sound of the conversation between Ling Wushuang and the county lord of Qingyang came into his ears, he paused and raised his eyes to look in the direction where the voice came from, as the conversation between Ling Wushuang, Xuanyuan Mo, and the county lord of Qingyang continued, he only felt that his face was hot, and he was so ashamed that he hurriedly hid behind the rockery next to the trail.
"Yuxuan, aren't you coming out yet? Ling'er is talking about looking for you and telling you that she wants to marry you! Xuanyuan Mo looked in the direction of the rockery, a pair of star-like eyes, full of thick banter, did not hear Yu Wenming Xuan's response, and did not see others walk out from behind the rockery, Xuanyuan Mo turned to Ling Wushuang, deliberately raised his voice and said: "It seems that we have to find Brother Yueliang for Ling'er again!" "Stinky boy is embarrassed to come out, right, see how I forced you out, Xuanyuan Mo was playful, squeezed his eyes at Ling Wushuang, and then said to the county lord of Qingyang: "Ling'er, you want to eat marshmallows, it's not ......" The following words, before he could say it, Yu Wenmingxuan's figure had already appeared beside him: "Brother-in-law Huang, don't allow you, I don't allow you to talk nonsense to Ling'er!" Finally, when I heard what he wanted, how could I let it come to naught in the blink of an eye? Therefore, as soon as Xuanyuan Mo's voice came into Yu Wenmingxuan's ears, he suddenly jumped out from behind the rockery and fell to stand beside them.
"Huh!" Ling Wushuang was so amused by Yu Wenmingxuan's words that he suddenly appeared and couldn't stop laughing, while Xuanyuan Mo stared at Yu Wenmingxuan seriously, looked at him fixedly for a while, and said, "You don't allow me to say anything nonsense to Ling'er?" "Boy, I'm in a hurry, don't hide and hide, hum, it's not over yet! Xuanyuan Mo muttered in his heart, waiting for Yu Wenming Xuan to reply to him.
"Brother-in-law Huang, I, did I say anything just now?" Yu Wenming Xuanjun's face turned red, he raised his hand and rubbed it on his nose, turned his head to look at him, in order to avoid the embarrassment at the moment, Xuanyuan Mo looked at Ling Wushuang and smiled evilly, and then his eyes fell back on Yu Wenming Xuan, raised his eyebrows and said: "Yu Xuan, are you pretending to be confused in front of your imperial sister and me?" "It didn't take long for me to forget what I had said, who would believe it? Let's say that the stinky boy is thick-skinned, but now his face is flushed, and he seems to be very embarrassed and embarrassed, "Brother Mo, Brother Moon said, I said that you should not talk nonsense to me." The county lord of Qingyang blinked, looked at Yu Wenming Xuan, and then looked at Xuanyuan Mo, although she didn't understand what these two people were messing with, she still kindly repeated what Yu Wenming Xuan said to Xuanyuan Mo.
Yu Wenming Xuan raised his head, and Jun Yan became even more red because the county lord of Qingyang repeated his words, as if he would drip blood with a slight pinch, and he said to the county lord of Qingyang in a warm voice: "Ling'er, Brother Moon didn't say anything just now!" ”
"But, but Ling'er obviously heard you just speak to Brother Mo." The county lord of Qingyang raised his head, flashed his big eyes, and unceremoniously dismantled Yu Wenmingxuan's platform, "Brother Moon, your face is so red, it's redder than cooked shrimp, are you very hot?" As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand and probed Yu Wenmingxuan's forehead, muttering, "It's hot, but the wind is blowing very cool today, why is Brother Moon so hot?" ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Xuanyuan Molang laughed, and pointed at Yu Wenming Xuan and jokingly said: "Boy, it's been autumn for a while, tell me, why are you so hot?" If it weren't for the image, Ling Wushuang was afraid that he would laugh loudly, in order not to make Yu Wenming Xuan continue to be embarrassed, she turned to Xuanyuan Mo and said: "Mo, don't make fun of the emperor's brother again, look at him You said to find a crack in the ground to get into!" ”
"Imperial Sister ......" Yu Wenming Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and called Ling Wushuang with some resentment.
At this time, a small eunuch hurriedly walked behind Xuanyuan Mo, bowed down and said: "Emperor Qi, King Huai, and King Yu have arrived in Beijing, and they are now waiting outside the imperial study to meet you." After Xuanyuan Mo ascended the throne, eunuchs were generally not allowed to follow, but according to the rules, he could not completely dispense with eunuchs to serve, so he selected two quite clever little eunuchs to serve in the imperial study among the palace people who originally served Emperor Yongjia, so that when he dealt with political affairs during the day, he would be met by ministers and communicated to him in time......
As for the rest of the time after the early dynasty and handling political affairs, he did not allow the eunuchs to follow him.
Just because he didn't want him to get along with Ling Wushuang sweetly, he would be looked at by everyone.
"You go quickly, I and the imperial brother, Ling'er will talk here again, and then go back to the dormitory to rest." Ling Wushuang said to Xuanyuan Mo in a soft voice, "I didn't expect their trip back to Beijing to be a day faster. Xuanyuan Mo stood with his hands in his hands, glancing faintly in the direction of the imperial study, Ling Wushuang heard his whisper and said with a smile: "This shows that they respect you from the bottom of their hearts." "It should be so, according to the distance, and the general speed of travel estimates, the day when King Huai and King Yu arrived in Beijing should be tomorrow, but now they arrived a day earlier, which can only mean that as soon as they received the holy decree, they immediately set off with their families, and they were afraid that they didn't do much rest along the way, and arrived in the capital one day in advance.
Xuanyuan Mo nodded and said softly: "Otherwise, let Yuxuan and Ling'er accompany you back to the dormitory to chat." Ling Wushuang shook his head: "No, we'll talk here, you go and do your job." ”
"Okay then." Xuanyuan Mo raised his hand and stroked Ling Wushuang's hair, his eyes were full of drowning: "Then go and sit in the pavilion in front, and I'll come to you in a while." ”
"Hmm."
The corners of Ling Wushuang's lips flashed into a slight smile and he nodded in response.
"Sister Huang, don't look at it, the figure of the brother-in-law is gone!" Yu Wenming Xuan took the hand of the county lord of Qingyang, his gaze was withdrawn from the direction where Xuanyuan Mo's figure disappeared, and he made fun of Ling Wushuang in a warm voice, "Bad boy, it was your imperial brother-in-law who bullied you just now, you are good, I have come to bargain with your imperial sister!" Ling Wushuang turned around, stretched out his hand and pinched Yu Wenmingxuan's arm, and slowly walked towards the pavilion in front of him and said, "If you dare to make fun of me again, I will let Ling'er marry you a few years later!" "Humph! This sentence will definitely restrain you bad boy, the corners of Ling Wushuang's mouth curled, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Don't, Imperial Sister, don't do this to me." Yu Wenming Xuan pulled the county lord of Qingyang to catch up with Ling Wushuang quickly, and said with a smile: "I won't make fun of you anymore, I won't make fun of you anymore, it's all done now!" Ling Wushuang ignored her, and continued to walk forward, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little more obvious.
The four shadows' eyebrows drooped slightly, and they followed Ling Wushuang to the left and right, for fear that he would not step on one foot and fall.
Catching a glimpse of Yu Wenmingxuan's pitiful face, he laughed in his heart.
Qi belly: This provokes people who shouldn't be messed with!
It seems that this marrying the county lord of Qingyang to his side has to wait again!
However, people don't often say that good things are grinding, it seems that the master wants to keep the county lord of Qingyang by his side for a while longer, so as to test her love for the county lord of Qingyang, how deep can it be? The four shadows guessed blindly, as for Ling Wushuang's true thoughts, I am afraid that only she will know the Tao by herself.
Sitting down until the pavilion chief boarded, Ling Wushuang smiled at Yu Wenmingxuan, raised his good-looking eyebrows, and said softly: "Ling'er has already agreed to marry you, but I'm afraid your marriage will really not be able to be held for a while." Yu Wenming Xuan hurriedly said: "Sister Huang, why can't our marriage be held for a while?" "I don't understand, he really doesn't understand.
Ling Wushuang said: "Ling'er doesn't understand anything about men and women, you have to give me some time to talk to her, yes or no?" Yu Wenmingxuan scratched his head, glanced at the innocent Qingyang County Lord, and his face turned red again until it reached the root of his ears, and when he felt that the heat on his face was no longer so hot, he turned his gaze to Ling Wushuang and said, "What the imperial sister said is that I owe it to consideration!" ”
"Sister Shuang'er, what are you talking about with Brother Moon?" The county lord of Qingyang played with his fingers, his clear and bright eyes were full of curiosity, Ling Wushuang held her hand and said softly, "We are talking about when you will be the bride!" ”
"The bride?" Qingyang Jun's big eyes blinked, and said, "Is it the princess who is Brother Moon?" Ling Wushuang smiled and nodded lightly, and the county lord of Qingyang said again: "As the bride of Brother Moon, I will be like Sister Shuang'er, will I also become a big belly and give birth to a baby?" ”
Without waiting for the Qingyang County Lord to finish speaking, Yu Wenming Xuan got up and hurriedly walked to the side, turning his back to Ling Wushuang, and the two Qingyang County Lords coughed dryly.
Ling Wushuang knew that Daoyu Wenming Xuan was angry for a while because of what the county lord of Qingyang said, and she was embarrassed to avoid it, she smiled softly, looked at the county lord of Qingyang, and said: "When you become the bride of Brother Moon and love him with him, slowly there will be a baby growing up in your belly, and then you can be a mother!" "The little girl doesn't understand anything, and I don't know how much the little girl can understand when she says this.
Alas! Maybe after the little girl gets married, everything will be known.
Hehe, her worries are really superfluous now!
"Ling'er wants to be a mother, Ling'er wants to be a mother soon, and when she has a baby, Ling'er will love her baby like a mother loves Ling'er."
The county lord of Qingyang shook Ling Wushuang's hand, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Okay, Sister Shuang'er knows it, after a while, I'll let you marry your Brother Moon, okay?" Ling Wushuang nodded, looking at the Qingyang County Lord's eyes full of drowning. "Imperial sister, you, didn't you just say, didn't you say that I should wait a while before marrying Ling'er?" Yu Wenming Xuan had already turned around and returned to Chang Deng to sit down while Ling Wushuang was talking to the Qingyang County Lord.
Ling Wushuang glanced at him like he was looking at wood, and said slowly, "Ling'er wants to be a mother soon, don't you hear?" Yu Wenming Xuan laughed out loud: "I heard it, but I, but I think that the imperial sister is here, is it in the ......" Ling Wushuang lowered his eyes and looked at his towering abdomen, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Wenming Xuan, and said with a smile: "Look at your stammering appearance, when the baby is born, I will discuss with my father about the marriage for you." ”
"Really?"
Yu Wenmingxuan was overjoyed, a little incredulous.
Ling Wushuang said angrily: "Fake! After speaking, she didn't pay attention to the wooden lump of Yu Wenming Xuan, and whispered the story to the lord of Qingyang County.
The entrance to the study.
"The younger brother has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Huai Wang, King Yu saw Xuanyuan Mo and walked to the door of the imperial study, and hurriedly waved his hands to salute.
Xuanyuan Mo said lightly: "No courtesy." As he spoke, he stepped into the study with his legs raised and said, "Come in too." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
King Huai and King Yu responded in unison, followed closely behind, and walked into the imperial study.
After sitting on the imperial case, Xuanyuan Mo stared at King Huai, and King Yu watched it quietly, before he opened his lips and said: "Summoning you back to Beijing, I have made it very clear in the holy decree, what do you want to say about this?" ”
"Brother obeys the holy command!" Huai Wang, King Yu looked respectful, lowered his eyes and waved his hands.
Xuanyuan Mo said: "Sit down." ”
"Emperor Xie!"
Huai Wang, Yu Wang thanks, step to the chair and sit down.
"You don't have anything to say, it means that you know in your hearts why I did this, so I won't say anything more." Xuanyuan Mo's index finger tapped on the imperial case regularly, and for a long time, he looked at King Huai, and King Yu continued: "I think you also know that the Lu Dao clan will also arrive in Beijing in these few days, if they are in order, once they are dissatisfied, this matter will be handed over to you to appease." Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Mo's words paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and as time passed, he opened his lips and said slowly: "As for what method you use to let them keep their duty, you can think about it yourself, I just wait for the result." ”
"The emperor can rest assured, the younger brother knows what to do."
King Huai stood up and waved his hand.
King Yu hesitated for a while, then got up and waved his hands, but did not speak.
"Alright, stand down!" Xuanyuan bowed his head and raised his hand to signal them to stand down. Huai Wang, King Yu waved his hand again, responded respectfully, and exited the imperial study one after the other.
The entrance to the palace.
"Second brother, how can he arrange such a tricky matter for us to deal with? Moreover, you also promised him, if the clan relatives listen to our persuasion, it is good, if you insist on not listening, you have to make some trouble, you say that our brothers will not be able to eat and walk around! King Yu frowned and said with a cold face.
King Huai paused, looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten why we returned to Beijing this time?" King Yu's face immediately changed: "I, I haven't forgotten!" King Huai continued: "The emperor is not guilty of your crimes in the past, as courtiers, the emperor is whatever he says, and he does not say anything to obey the emperor's orders, do you want me to disobey the holy order and be a disloyal and unrighteous minister?" Besides, without you and me, there would still be someone to do this errand, and it would be the one who went up to do it properly. ”
King Yu's expression was gloomy, and he said with annoyance: "Second Emperor Brother, I didn't think about it just now, so I said something that shouldn't be said, don't put it in your heart." ”
King Huai waved his hand and said, "I know your temperament better than you do, can I be angry with you for this?" As he spoke, he walked forward, "When you open your mouth in the future, think more about what I say to you on weekdays." King Yu followed closely beside him and nodded, "Yes, second brother." ”
"Actually, if you want me to say, after those clan relatives return to Beijing, they won't make any big noise, we just need to act when the opportunity arises!"
"I listen to my second brother."
Imperial.
"Sister Shuang'er, I'm going to play there." After listening to a story, the county lord of Qingyang pointed to the direction of the lake in the distance, and was clamoring to go there to play, Ling Wushuang smiled and said to Yu Wenmingxuan: "You accompany Ling'er to play, I will wait for your imperial brother-in-law here." Yu Wenming Xuan got up, nodded and took the hand of the county lord of Qingyang, stepped out of the pavilion, and walked to the path leading to the lake.
"The slave has seen the emperor!"
Huai Wang, as soon as King Yu left the imperial study, Xuanyuan Mo immediately got up, lifted his breath and floated back to the imperial garden, his beloved's belly was getting bigger and bigger, the moment he left her, he couldn't rest assured, the four shadows saw his figure fall from the air, and hurriedly curtsied.
"Hmm." Xuanyuan Mo replied lightly, waved his hand to signal the four shadows to be exempt, and then stepped up the steps and entered the pavilion.
"Coming back so soon?"
Ling Wushuang raised his eyes, and asked Xuanyuan Mo with a light smile on the corner of his lips.
"I told them one thing, and I let them go out of the palace and go home."
Xuanyuan Mo's eyes softened, and he replied to Ling Wushuang, and then sat down beside him.
"As soon as they came back, you told them to do things, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, they came back to contribute to the court, I just ordered a small thing to do for them, if they can't do it, then I won't reuse them in the future." Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Mo stretched out his arm and snuggled Ling Wushuang into his arms, and told him in detail what he told King Huai and King Yu to do.
After listening to what he said, Ling Wushuang raised his head and asked, "Are you really going to be a shopkeeper?" ”
Xuanyuan Mo smiled: "Why not? I am a king, they are ministers, and it is natural for a king to tell his courtiers to do things. ”
"You're right, I made a fuss!" Ling Wushuang pursed his lips and smiled, leaning his head on Xuanyuan Mo's arms, and did not speak again.
Xuanyuan Mo raised his eyes and looked at the distant sky, and said, "It's up to them to see what kind of result they will give me then." ”
The corners of Ling Wushuang's lips lifted slightly, and he said leisurely: "The clan relatives can't make any big noise." Besides, even if they make a mess, with King Huai's ability, he can properly appease them, let's wait for his result together! ”
"He does have some ability, otherwise he wouldn't have competed with the fourth child for many years in the battle for the prince." I hope you don't let me down, Xuanyuan Mo's gaze gradually became distant.
On the shore of the lake, the county lord of Qingyang sat on the shore, looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake and the fish swimming in the lake, his legs swaying, so happy.
"Ling'er, it's dangerous to sit here, let's get up and sit elsewhere, okay?"
Yu Wenming Xuan firmly held the hand of the county lord of Qingyang, for fear that he would accidentally fall into the lake.
"With Brother Moon here, I'm not afraid!"
The county lord of Qingyang pursed his mouth and smiled with crooked eyebrows.
"Let's go sit on that big rock, and I'll play a tune for you." Yu Wenming Xuan continued to gently coax the county lord of Qingyang to get up and leave the shore and go to a safe place to sit, "Then you have to play a good tune!" Seeing that the county lord of Qingyang was no longer stubborn and wanted to sit here, Yu Wenming Xuan nodded with a smile in his eyes: "I'll play the tune I played here last time for you, okay?" ”
"Hmm."
As the county lord of Qingyang responded, Yu Wenmingxuan got up, and then carefully pulled him to his feet, and walked to the location of the big stone he said.
