Chapter 41: On board
Along the way, Hong Cherry has been groggy, and after being rescued by Yuanxing, she felt the warm breath around her body, and her heart was relieved and she lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he didn't feel the rain falling on his body, and the light around him was dim, as if he was in a cave, and Yuan Xing was beating flint and fighting with a pile of wood.
She didn't speak, just stared at the man crouching on the ground.
This is supposed to be a cave where the hunters who go up the mountain usually rest, but after a few days of rain, the wood has been damp, and it took a lot of effort to ignite it, and the flame finally rose in the cave.
Feeling the warmth in the flames, Yuan Xing turned his head as if he felt something, and closed his eyes as if he saw the cherry being a thief.
The fate was not broken, but sat cross-legged by the fire, and began to think about the future.
There are inner ghosts among the people involved in boiling ginger soup, that's for sure, and I believe that Master Mingguang will also think of this, I'm afraid that he is investigating at this time.
The Golden Buddha and the two thieves were drowned in the flood, is this considered a mission failure? If you find out the inner ghost, is this task completed as long as you send Master Mingguang to the Central Plains? He glanced at the mission prompt, but it was still unchanged.
There's no food here, so it looks like I'll have to go hungry tonight. I don't know where to go, where should I go next to join the main army?
Maybe it was really because it was cold, and Cherry Girl was already sitting next to him.
Yuan Xing turned his head to look at her, this girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, unlike other ancient women of this age who combed their hair in a bun, but tied her black hair into a big braid and hung down at her side, the eyebrows and eyes on the melon seed face were picturesque, with the healthy wheat-colored skin, she had three points of playfulness. She is a little girl full of youth. At this moment, the little face was red by the firelight.
He smiled slightly, and added firewood to the fire, this is still a child! If the Golden Buddha is lost, it will be lost, so what does it matter if the mission fails? was able to save this little girl's life, and it was not in vain.
This night, the two of them just silently roasted the fire, both thinking about their hearts, and no one spoke.
---------
The next day, the rain had stopped, and the two searched along the mountain road at dawn, and finally arrived at a small town. It's in a good location and hasn't been affected by flooding.
Hungry, Yuan Xing touched his belly, came to a stall selling rice cakes, reached out in his arms, and was about to take out the money, but there was already a small hand beside him who handed the money over.
The cherry girl bought four rice cakes and gave half of them to Yuanxing, plus a big white eye: "What do you pay, do you have money?" ”
Yuan Xing smiled slightly, just took it, and the two continued to move forward.
"How does it taste?"
"It's a little sour, and it's not as fragrant as you do." Yuanxing quickly finished eating, smashed it, smashed it, and told the truth. But I didn't see the shyness and joy on the face of the girl behind her.
Cherry walked two steps parallel to him, and when he finished eating, he handed over a piece of his own: "How about we hire a boat to set off now?" ”
"It's better to find an inn to stay in first, and then set off tomorrow." Yuan Xing swallowed the rice cake in three or two bites, thought about it, and spoke. To be honest, the image of the two of them is really miserable now, not to mention that their clothes have become sloppy, and their bodies have a peculiar smell, so they really need to take a shower and trim themselves.
"But......" Cherry took out her money bag, counted it carefully, and was a little worried: "Our money is not enough to live in the hotel." ”
Yuan Xing smiled and took out a silver ingot.
"Where did you get the money?" Cherry stared at him, then carefully glanced around before whispering, "It can't be that you stole it from the monk, right?" ”
Yuan Xing was about to explain, but he was stunned, and watched in amazement as she quickly snatched the silver into the money bag, and finally tied a knot neatly: "This is enough." ”
That's, that's mine......
"Go to the hotel...... "The girl waved the money bag in her hand and walked forward, looking full of vitality.
Yuan Xing smiled dumbly and could only follow.
stayed at the inn for one night, and the next morning, the two hired a boat, and down the river, it was said that they could reach Wangshui Town in two days, perhaps faster than Mingguang and the others.
He enjoys the leisure of the moment, as long as he keeps moving forward, with experienced boatmen there, he doesn't have to worry about getting lost, and he doesn't need to worry about the rain when the weather is clear. At this moment, time is slow.
In the modern world, he passed away and lived in seclusion, rarely returning to the city to live, because he could not blend in with the steel jungle at all. Perhaps, as Master said, he was born to be suitable for Shaman's unhurried and impatient spiritual life.
It feels so comfortable, looking up, there is a continuous green riverside under the clear blue sky; The nose is lightly smelled, and the breeze blows through the freshness of spring plants. If it weren't for the flood two days ago, the river would have been turquoise, and what a beautiful and comfortable scene would it be to take a boat ride in the breeze at that time?
At this time, the warm sunlight was shining on his handsome face, and Cherry stared at him for a long time before he blushed and looked away, and said with a little stumbling: "Qin, Brother Qin, you are the beggar, right?" Although she was delirious at the time, she felt somewhat that the speed at which the two of them traveled when they were held in each other's arms was obviously not something that normal people could do.
"Hmm......" he mumbled softly with his eyes closed. What does it matter if you are called a beggar or blind when you are at this leisure?
"So, you won't blame me, will you? I said you ...... like that before," Cherry pursed her lips, her face still red.
"How can I bother with you as a child." Yuan Xing opened his eyes and said with a smile.
Cherry glared at him, and then the always spicy and bold girl actually twisted and muttered, "People are not small......"
Yuanxing only didn't hear it, and continued to look at the scenery.
"Brother Qin, you said that people are children, so how old are you?"
"It's much bigger than you." Yuan Xing scratched his head, and when he touched the wig, he couldn't help but think in his heart, Xia Xiaonan didn't know where to get the wig, this quality is really not said, after wearing it, it is not only reliable, but also very breathable, and I must give a five-star praise when I go back.
"Brother Qin, have you married a wife?"
"Nope." Yuan Xing smiled and looked up, innocent blue, pollution-free ancient times are good.
"Brother Qin, are you from the original one?"
"Sort of!" Yuanxing looked around, this river is really wide, there must be big fish in it, there won't be an iron-headed dragon king who will hit the boat, right?
"Brother Qin, have you ever seen a big city in the Central Plains? It is said to be very bustling. ”
"Even if you've seen it, that's it!" Yuan Xing sighed and replied, how did I forget that this girl is still a chatter?
"What a beauty is in the city?"
"Didn't pay attention. I just remember that the food is still delicious......" Yuan Xing replied weakly.
"Brother Qin......"
Even the boatman who was holding the boat couldn't stand the atmosphere and hummed loudly at the stern.
A familiar scene suddenly appeared in Yuan Xing's mind, which was a classic episode of a cartoon he had seen in his previous life, and he was moved to tears as a big man at that time.
"I'll tell you a story." He raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but want to share his mood at that time, well, he could also reduce the other party's exuberant curiosity.
"What's the story?" Cherry is bored, and she is immediately happy when she hears the words.
"It is said that at the end of a certain dynasty, when the national teacher of the dynasty issued a decree to drive the people to catch a large number of snakes in order to practice evil laws, the white snake who went to assassinate the national teacher accidentally lost his memory and was rescued by Ah Xuan, a young man from the snake village, ......"
Sure enough, both ancient and modern, this kind of tragic story is the most moving.
After the whole plot of the origin of the white snake is finished, the cherry girl is already crying with pear blossoms and rain.
"How? That's a touching story, isn't it? ”
"Then why does Ah Xuan want to be a monster? What a self-depravity! The girl wiped her tears, but cursed hatefully.
"Uh......" Yuan Xing couldn't help but scratch his head, this style is not right! Shouldn't we admire that courage to sacrifice for love? Is this a huge generation gap across generations?
"What about five hundred years from now?" Cherry urged him to continue.
"Then it's not clear!" Yuan Xing decided not to tell her the content of the White Snake Biography later, if she didn't get it right, this girl would become Fahai's embrace.
Hey? No, why sympathize with Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian? No matter from the identity or position, the poor monk should also stand on the side of Fahai, right?
So Yuanxing fell into a tangle......
