Chapter 154: Making a Wish (2)
It was decided on this.
Tian Fangfang was still a little embarrassed, and secretly asked Gu Baiying when Xu Fu and the others went outside: "Uncle Shi, how can we snatch Xiaodouzi's bed?" ”
"Do you really want to sleep?" Gu Baiying looked at him like a fool: "Don't sleep tonight, and," he looked out of the house and put away the laziness on his face: "I also want to find out what is going on here." ”
After Xu Fu and Dou Niang brought the futon in, they went out. There were only a few hairpins left in the house.
The house here is also very small, not as big as the thatched house in the secret realm of Li'er Country, and there is a clay kang next to the wall, and the bedding is a little thin. There were no windows in the back room, so there was no stove, and it was very cold in the house. On the red mud wall hung some tassels woven of thick threads, which looked like the handiwork of the bean lady, and the bright tassels added a bit of life to this humble room. There is also a half-old wooden cabinet in the back room, which looks like the "dresser" of the damselfly.
Xu Fu's father seems to be good to Dou Niang, although his family is poor, he is very thoughtful.
Tian Fangfang shouted over there: "Uncle Shi, how are we going to sleep?" ”
Xu Fu said so solemnly before, everyone thought that this bed could really sleep six people, but now it seems that Mo said that it was six people, if it was a little fatter, two people would be enough.
Before Gu Baiying could speak, Mu Jiexiao spoke first, and he said, "Senior Sister Meng, Senior Sister Yang and Mendong should sleep in the bed." Tonight, my uncle and brother and I will not sleep and will keep watch in the house to avoid accidents. ”
Hairpin Xing glanced at the narrow bed, which was usually where Dou Niang slept alone, but now he could only barely squeeze the three of them. However, Hairpin Xing asked: "Now that we have lost all our Yuan Strength, we are no different from ordinary people, I am afraid that we will not be able to sleep all night on duty, or we should take turns on duty." One person for one hour, Mendong is not necessary. ”
"I agree." Meng Ying also said.
After coming out of the secret realm of Li'er Country, they and their group had no time to rest, if they were naturally fine in the past, but now they are all "ordinary people", they can't help but think about their energy.
"Okay." Gu Baiying said lightly, holding the embroidered bone spear and sitting down on the ground next to the bed.
There is no cloth to pad here, but fortunately, the ground is cleaned by the damselfly, and there is not a single grain of dust. Hairpin Xing looked at the couch, Dou Niang's family was really poor, and she took a total of two mattresses, a bed of green flowers on a red background, and a bed of red flowers on a green background, which was probably stuffed with cotton, which was also warm.
It's a terrible heat in the desert during the day, and at night, the air gets straight to the soles of people's feet. Hairpin Xing handed the bedding with red flowers on a green background to Gu Baiying: "Uncle Shi, you cover this when you keep vigil at night, so as not to catch a cold." ”
The futon with red flowers on a green background looks very rough, and the quilt is very old, revealing a sense of rustic simplicity. Gu Baiying glanced at it and pushed it away in disgust: "Who wants to build this?" As soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Gu Baiying was annoyed and angry: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Uncle Shi, you better cover this quilt." Mendong got up from the bed and wrapped the green quilt around Gu Baiying: "I'm sick at this juncture, so let's really not want to leave." ”
Gu Baiying still had to refuse, Tian Fangfang on the other side had already lifted her robe, and this action shocked Mu Dianxiao immediately blocked in front of Meng Ying, blocking Meng Ying's sight.
"This is ....." Mendong was a little dazed.
"This is what my sister taught me," Tian Fangfang patted her thigh proudly, and under the fairy gauze robe, the cotton pants looked extraordinarily thick: "When it's cold, you can add a pair of pants to the gauze robe, and you can't see it outside anyway." When I was in the secret realm of Li'er Country, it was cold at night, so I took one from the Qiankun bag and wore it inside, which was just right for use at this time. He hugged his fist at the hairpin: "It's still my junior sister Huixin Lantian!" ”
Hairpin Star: "...... That's not how Cybliacs are used. ”
"Anyway," Tian Fangfang put down the corners of her robe again, "I have cotton pants, and the pastor brother is also wearing a small jacket made by Miss Liu, we are not cold, but Uncle Shi, this dress is beautiful, but it is not very windproof, and it is cold at night, so you can wrap this quilt, so that we don't have to fight with the devil first, and fall ill first." ”
He was very arrogant, not caring at all about Gu Baiying's instantly unhappy expression, and felt that what he said was quite reasonable. Hairpin looked at Gu Baiying, who was wrapped in the quilt with a rustic flavor, and he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Baiying glared at her angrily.
"It's nothing," Hairpin Xing couldn't help it, "It's just that I thought of what I said when I first entered the sect that the Taiyan faction only cares about the immortal qi but doesn't keep warm, it's really unacceptable." She spread her hands: "Look, isn't it fulfilled now?" ”
When Gu Baiying heard this, he became even more angry, and was about to take off the bedding, when Mendong had already leaned close to his ear and whispered quickly: "Uncle Shi, Lingmai, pay attention!" ”
He went to lift the quilt and stopped abruptly.
Meng Ying is the face of the Taiyan faction in the end, and at this time, she still wants to preserve the pitiful self-esteem of the little uncle, and says: "Then let's do it, Mendong sleeps inside, my junior sister and I sleep outside, and we take turns to change people on duty every other hour." ”
Hairpin asked, "What should I do if I oversleep?" "There is no Si Chenji here, as soon as your eyes are closed and opened, who knows when you wake up?
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Gu Baiying said angrily: "I'll come first." ”
Since he has already said so, others naturally have no objections, so it is decided.
Mendong slept in the innermost part against the wall, Meng Ying slept in the middle, Hairpin Xing slept in the outermost part of the bed, Tian Fangfang and Mu Jiexiao on the ground had already laid down, Gu Baiying was sitting with his back against the bed, and the embroidery bone spear was placed beside him.
The wicks of the oil lamps in the room were cut short, and the flames were faint, as if they were going to be extinguished in the next moment.
Next door, there was a slight snoring from Xu Fu in the outhouse, and the occasional goose chirping in the courtyard outside. The futon gradually warmed up.
The hairpin turned over, the oil lamp on the table cast a soft light and shadow on the wall, and the young man's back stood tall. Just like the night when she left the country of Ears, she was frightened by the monster that broke in late at night, and Gu Baiying had to stay on the same day.
Inexplicably, it is reassuring.
She quietly propped herself up and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Shi, are you asleep?" ”
The surroundings were quiet, and the rest of the people didn't know whether they were asleep or pretending to sleep, no one spoke, Gu Baiying ignored it, and only stared at the flames in the oil lamp.
The hairpin moved a little more to him, and from this angle, his vermilion hairband was gorgeous and amorous in the light, which reminded him of the auspicious snake meeting, and this person was almost drowned in the silk flowers thrown by the girls.
"Uncle Shi," she whispered, "I still think something is wrong with Dou Niang's father." ”
"Fools know there's something wrong with him." Gu Baiying finally spoke, probably for fear of disturbing his sleeping companions, so his voice was deliberately lowered.
Hairpin Xing was stunned for a moment, and smiled at the back of his head: "You're starting to become humane now." ”
When she first arrived at Gufeng Mountain, she only felt that this young man was conceited, arrogant, and domineering, but now he has walked through this from the secret realm of Li'er Country, and has shared joys and sorrows, although he is still awkward, and occasionally she can get a glimpse of his clumsy concern under his cold appearance.
In fact, it is not only him, but she herself is not like this. At the beginning of entering this strange world, it was unreal everywhere, and she always wanted to go back, those senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, and junior sisters were just paper people who were not familiar enough to her. However, unconsciously, getting along day and night, walking all the way, she has long regarded herself as one of them.
For example, in such a strange city this night, because the rest of the people in this room were there, she didn't feel much fear.
"If you don't want to sleep, you can start working now." Gu Baiying hugged the bed of floral quilts and said coldly.
When the hairpin star heard this, he immediately lay down, got into the bedding with red background and green flowers, and closed his eyes: "I'll sleep now." ”
The room was quiet again.
After a while, Tian Fangfang's snoring gradually sounded, and Mimi lay at the foot of the bed, curled up into a ball, and slept sweetly.
The faint lights in the room flickered, and only the back of the young man was cast on the wall, creating a warm dark shadow.
......
It was a deep sleep.
Without Si Chenji's reminder, and no one else to urge, in the middle of the night, Hairpin Xing was woken up by the cold.
The quilt was originally a warm cotton quilt, but now it is like a piece of cold iron, pressing heavily on the body, and the whole body is shrouded in cold. She opened her eyes in the dark, was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, why did the oil lamp on the table go out?
It was dark in the room. The hairpin stard was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The room was a little too quiet.
Before she fell asleep, Xu Fu next door was still snoring, Tian Fangfang's snoring gradually sounded, and there were geese flapping their wings in the yard, but now, there was nothing, and the surroundings were as quiet as death. It was as if there was no living thing left in this thick darkness that could not be dissolved.
What about Gu Baiying? What about the rest of the people around? Aren't they on night duty?
Countless conjectures flashed through Hairpin Xing's heart in an instant, and this broken plot has developed to the present, and there is actually a little terrifying shadow. She stole her hand to the head of the bed, where the tray of flower sticks had been placed.
The next moment, someone's lowered voice sounded: "Don't move!" ”
Hairpin Star was surprised: "Uncle Shi? You're still there! ”
"Something is wrong here, junior sister, be careful." Meng Ying whispered beside her.
Hairpin was stunned for a moment: "Are you all there?" ”
"Of course." Gu Baiying sighed: "Even your cat has woken up cold, you can still continue to sleep without noticing, Yang Haixing, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there would be a person with a big heart like you in the world." ”
Hairpin Star was about to defend a few words when he heard something "clang" on the roof.
Immediately afterward, a strong wind flashed in front of him.
Gu Baiying chased out.
