Chapter 60: Missing
Yongan Inn is not far from the key point of the Western Regions, and the little two here repeat a sentence every day, "Uncle, stay a little longer, there is no such good food and quiet when you go out of the Western Regions." ”
"Not to mention that the jackal barks in the middle of the night, even the wind and sand are frequent and tight. If you are unlucky, and a strong wind blows, you can't walk for a few days and nights, and you stay in one place all day, then you can still eat well, and it's all rotten vegetable leaves to chew and chew and chew a meal. ”
Most of the people who listened to this little er's words and were not in a hurry would stay for two more days, rest enough, and be ready before embarking on the road to the west. There were two guests on this day, Xiao Er repeated again, but the two guests didn't care, and prepared to leave early the next morning.
In the early morning, when the sun has not yet left the nest, the warm breeze is a little cool, and the flowers and trees are slowly swaying. The moonlight has disappeared at this time, and it seems that the thoughts hidden in the depths of the sea also want to move away from this moment.
The sky above the Yongan Inn was shallow and bright, and there were already people in the courtyard who got up to work. The fire-building, horse-feeding, and tidying up are each doing their own work. Under the quiet sky, they met each other, and they all nodded their heads, and neither of them wanted to break the silence.
The room was still dim and dark, and the change of time had not yet made a wave here, and each slept separately. There were a few who fell asleep gently, and only one who was awake.
Yuqing was lying on the bed, her eyes open, motionless, and before she knew it, tears had wet her pillow. In recent days, I have been in a hurry all day long, and I have not stopped for a moment, let alone have any spare time to think about something.
However, Yuqing's heart always felt uncomfortable, and she was fine when she was in a hurry, but as soon as she stopped, her heart was empty. It's the same day, lying in bed, tossing and turning, I just can't sleep, and my heart is always not good.
From time to time, I recall the days in Xiaojiazhuang, and there is always a figure in my heart. A few more times, I thought about it, don't think about it, don't think about it, hurry up and go to bed, I have to hurry tomorrow.
However, the more these decisions were made in her heart, the more lingering the person became, and she couldn't sleep. Sometimes I think about it, how I think about it, how I feel comfortable, how I think about it, how I feel happy, and when I think about it, I want to return to Xiaojiazhuang and return to him immediately. But after a while, she became sad again, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she burst into tears unconsciously. Thinking about what he is doing at the moment, whether there will be other women around him, whether he is already with other women.
The more she thought about it, the more helpless she became, the more uncomfortable she became, wishing that he was by her side now, holding him all day long. However, a sudden noise, or a few sudden dog and cat barks, pulled her back from her imagination.
She felt that she was so shameless, a big girl with yellow flowers, thinking about men all day long, let her junior brother know, how could she see people, she didn't want to live. She laughed at herself again, laughing at herself for being too stupid, thinking about what she was thinking about all day long, and when she went back to see him, wouldn't she know everything?
But when will I be able to go back, and when I go back, I will definitely see him? Even if you see him, what do you say! Then she remembered again what she should say when she saw him. Time passed little by little in such thoughts, from the moment when the moon filled the sky, to the sky getting darker and darker, and then slowly brightened again. She kept thinking about it with her eyes open and closed, looking at it over and over again.
Sometimes, she looked into the darkness of the room, trying to tell where the table was, where the chairs were, why they were arranged the way they were. Sometimes, she looked at the sky through the window, and looked at the stars in the sky against the moonlight, which one was brighter, and slowly began to count how many there were.
As she counted, she would think how nice it would be if they were on one star, but what if they were on that star, and the thought of this made her excited, and she didn't feel sleepy anymore.
Until dawn, when people got up and moved, and when she couldn't calm down because of the noise of talking, she didn't want to think about him, so she was a little sleepy. However, at this time, Yuxu knocked on the door outside and told her to get up and hurry, she was so sleepy that she didn't want to get up.
However, when she thought that they were going to be out of the customs today, and that their task was about to be completed, she felt refreshed when she thought of it.
When Yuqing went downstairs, Yuxu had already asked Xiao Er to prepare breakfast, and the two of them had a simple breakfast. Listening to Xiao Er's advice, he prepared more dry food, and then rode on his horse to go to the outside of the pass.
After the two of them walked out of the inn, a middle-aged man in a blue cloth shirt stood by a window on the top floor of the inn, quietly watching them leave until they disappeared. The man sat down, took out a pen and paper, and carefully wrote a few sentences.
Then, from a cage, take out a white pigeon, carefully fold the freshly written note and put it on the pigeon's feet, go to the window, and carefully release the pigeon.
The pigeon flew, flew, flew over the mountains, flew over the river, and then crossed the Qinling Mountains to reach a pigeon coop in a village. Pigeons were walking and eating all over the cage, but the white pigeon stood motionless on the coop as if he did not want to be with them.
After a while, a man came, saw the pigeon coop from afar, ran eagerly to it, picked up the pigeon, and removed the note from its leg. Then, he quickly ran to the door of the village and shouted for someone. Soon, a sturdy thin man led a tall black horse and ran over, took the note from the man's hand, and without saying a word, rode away wildly.
The whole black horse ran as fast as lightning, and after a few hours, it came to the side of a large lake, and the people on the horse shouted for the boatman. A big man was eating, and when he heard someone shouting to himself, he came out of the shed with a bowl, and saw that it was the man who rode a tall black horse that shouted to him. He didn't eat anymore, and immediately pulled out a small boat from the reeds. The man on the horse got into the boat and did not speak, but nodded at him, and the big man rowed with all his strength to the other side of the lake.
Soon they had crossed the lake, and there was already a man waiting there with a horse, and the man on the horse immediately mounted his horse and galloped away. It was almost evening when the men came to the bottom of a mountain. Several men in blue and white clothes, holding swords in their hands, and waiting to see his appearance clearly, immediately greeted him, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, took the note from the hand of the man on the horse, and ran quickly up the hill without speaking.
He waited for a while and handed the note to a middle-aged man dressed in white. The old man immediately opened it and looked at it, and after reading it, his face was expressionless, and he walked to the main hall, and the plaque on the door of the main hall was written "Zixiao".
