The Golden Bough and the Dog Verse 48
This idea has supported her for many years, and the unbearable night in the cold tomb, the shaking winter thunder ringing in her ears, and the harsh eunuch who pointed at Sang and scolded Huai did not shake Tang Xian.
Only on this hot dusk, she drifted on the water with the narrow fishing boat, and for the first time in her heart she had an undeserved affection.
Attached to the landscape in front of you? Frolicking clouds in the stern? Or can you toss the clouds unscrupulously?
Tang Xian couldn't say it, she only thought it was funny, such a rampant and ambitious person who wanted to be the emperor turned out to be ...... I was so angry with her that she was so angry that she sulked many times.
If one day Yun stopped learning her identity, even if she was seventy or eighty years old and lying in the coffin, I am afraid that she would be so angry that she would rise up and want to settle accounts with her.
Tang Xian wanted to laugh, and after laughing, her nose and eyes softened, and tears almost fell.
Turning her back to others and wiping the corners of her eyes, she looked at the clear river, trying to ease her mood.
The river is bottomless, and the deeper it gets, the darker it becomes, and it's a bit creepy.
Looking at it, Tang Xian felt as if there was a suction force coming from underwater, which made her involuntarily approach, and she had an urge to fall.
She was so enchanted by the river that she approached the surface of the water, when suddenly a dead grass floated into view, and a series of bubbles rose in the water.
Tang Xian came back to her senses suddenly, her heart was cold, and she subconsciously shrank into the boat, her movements pulled the wound, and the pain made her completely sober.
How do you follow the devil?
She caressed her heart fearfully, trying to remind Yun Yuan not to stare at the water for a long time, but when she turned around, she saw that Yun Yuan on the other side was playing happily under the supervision of the carp, and she was not affected in the slightest.
Tang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, and wanted to move to Yun Yuan's side, but as soon as her hand reached the plank, she casually glanced at the water, she was stunned, and looked at the withered grass in the water in surprise.
No, it's not dead grass, it's a thin reed.
A reed pole erected in the water, a few inches out of the water, moved slowly in front of her.
It moves against the waves of the water.
In an instant, the life-seeking water ghosts and ferocious river bottom spirits that she had seen in the book appeared in Tang Xian's mind, their faces hideous, and they stretched out their claws to pull her into the bottom of the river.
What is even more terrifying is that at this time, the reeds began to rise, and the clear water was swaying, and there was a pitch-black mass floating upward, like a ball of dancing aquatic plants, and like a living creature that was entangled in aquatic plants and struggling in every way.
A huge panic struck, Tang Xian's hands and feet stiffened, and her heartbeat was violent and rapid, like raindrops in a summer storm.
She wanted to cry out, but her mouth opened but she couldn't make a sound, and she could only watch in extreme fear as the thing approached the water.
The water rippled away, and it broke through the waterβ
Whoop -
"Help-" Tang Xian's hands and feet were weak, and she suddenly sat down with a "poof", her face turned pale with fright, and she let out a terrifying cry for help.
The cries for help were very weak, but her reaction was loud enough, and the carp immediately approached to support her, vigilantly probing the surface of the water, except for the waves.
"What's wrong with the girl?" She asked Tang Xian.
Tang Xian held down her heart, struggled to press the heart that was about to explode in place, her eyes trembled and swept to the water, and she saw that the thing had sunk.
She closed her eyes and chattered her teeth, "Fish, what a big fish......"
She tried her best to calm down, but she couldn't calm down, and she drooped and almost cried, and said: "There was a fish that jumped up and almost hit me in the face, and scared me to death!" β
These days, her delicate image penetrated deep into the heart of the carp, coupled with the trembling voice and cold face, not like a lie, the carp did not think much about it, and comforted: "It's okay, it's just a fish, and someone will catch it and roast it later." β
Tang Xian nodded weakly.
"Maomao, you are so timid, you come to my side, I will protect you! I'm not afraid! Yun Xuan hung his feet in the water, twisted his body and called out to her, "I just kicked a fish, so big!" I almost caught it! β
Tang Xian's fingers clasped the side of the boat, and she forced her finger bones to protrude, barely maintaining her tone, "Okay, my wound is a little painful, and I will pass by sitting for a while." β
When she heard that she wanted to examine her wounds, she refused.
No one cares more about her injuries than Tang Xian, she said that she was fine, and Shu Li did not suspect him.
A few more people said a few words, and finally, Tang Xian persuaded the two to go back to the other side of the boat.
She was left alone in the stern of the boat, caressing her heart and looking out at the water.
After a while, a pitch-black head quietly emerged from the water, and the waves of water it brought up slapped against the side of the ship one after another.
Even though she had already witnessed it once, Tang Xian was still frightened, folded her hands and pressed her heart tightly, biting her lower lip so that she did not make a sound.
What emerged from the water was neither a water ghost nor a dead corpse, but a delicate girl.
The girl rose above her shoulders, spit out the reed rod in her mouth, wiped her face vigorously, and brushed away the wet hair that was pasted on her face, so that she had time to see Tang Xian.
Seeing that she looked like she was about to faint, the girl raised her hands on the surface of the water and pressed down hard, desperately signaling Tang Xian to calm down.
Tang Xian struggled to hold back her emotions, and as she took a deep breath - exhaled -
Tang Xian couldn't help but be nervous, less than three steps away from her side were clouds and carp, and the sound of cheers and water was in her ears.
On the bank of the river not far away, there were many guards with knives, and there were even more Zhuang Lian and dumb eyes staring at this side without blinking.
was not discovered, all because Tang Xian was sitting at the foot of the bed, and the sight of everyone on the shore was just blocked by the boat, and they couldn't see the narrow water in front of her.
And the reason why Tang Xian is so afraid of being noticed is because the girl who emerged in the water is none other than Yanxia, who has been tracked down for a long time!
The one who stole the treasure map of the clouds, and the smoke that should have been hiding in the imperial tomb to recuperate!
The culprit of everything!
Chapter 41: Handed
Tang Xian had a lot to ask Yanxia, such as what had happened to the Imperial Mausoleum, how her two maids were okay, how Yanxia had recovered from her injuries, how she found her here, and so on.
She spread out the wide hem of her skirt to cover the view behind her as much as possible.
Yanxia was floating in the water, and wiped her face again, pointing at Zhuang Lian and the others on the riverbank, and then pointing at herself, her face full of doubt.
Tang Xian was even more confused than her, she really couldn't understand this messy comparison, and sat on her knees and leaned over to get closer to Yanxia.
Yanxia shook her head, squeezing her eyebrows and pointing at the carp.
Tang Xian understood this action, and she practiced martial arts, her ears were sharp, and she would hear a little sound.
But then Yanxia's eyebrows and eyes moved together, her fingers flew wildly, and she was confused again.
Yanxia was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, and she was a little unable to hold on, so she grabbed the side of the boat and borrowed some strength.
But the fishing boat was too small, and as soon as she climbed on, the boat immediately tilted down.
"Girl?" The carp turned its head in alarm.
The two sneaking around, one stiffened into a puppet, the other held his breath, but fortunately the carp just looked back and did not come over.
The bow of the boat blocked her view, perfectly shielding her from the smoke sticking to the outside.
"I'm scooping water, the water is quite cold...... Tang Xian leaned over and looked at Yanxia in the water, reached out and scooped a handful of water in front of her, paused, and poured it on Yanxia's head.
The already wet smoke rolled at her.
I thought that this reason was enough, but the carp behind me asked again: "Won't the wound hurt when the girl leans out?" β
The pain is still painful, but Tang Xian is not easy to see Yanxia, and she is worried about business, and the pain can be endured.
"It doesn't hurt that much......," Tang Xian said dryly, "the gold sore medicine is very useful, I don't feel any pain, the wound should have healed almost well......"
After the last dereliction of duty, the carp's vigilance had been raised to the highest level, and his eyes flashed, and he was about to walk up.
Tang Xian was so frightened that she almost pressed the smoke hidden in the stern of the boat back into the water!
Blame her for being too cautious before, and she shouted pain at the slightest movement, but she was looking for trouble for Yun Zhu.
Well, now that she didn't shout, she aroused Mingli's suspicions.
Tang Xian's hand reached above Yanxia's head, temporarily moved into the water, and sprinkled a handful of water towards the clouds.
"Bang la-la-" The water of the Xili River drenched the clouds, and also stopped the footsteps of the carp.
"Badass Mao!" Yun's thin and soft forehead hair was wet into strands of water, and he felt that it was fun to splash water, and shouted to splash Tang Xian with water.
Her feet were stretched out in the water, and her body bent down again, her center of gravity was unstable, and she almost fell headlong into it.
The carp was quick and quickly grabbed her clothes and dragged her back.
After this little accident, Shu Lili did not dare to leave Yun Yuan's side, and after telling Tang Xian to be careful, he did not come again. And Yun Yuanshui wanted to splash Tang Xian, but after being stopped by Ming Li, citing her injuries, he kicked the water to find the fish.
Tang Xian and Yanxia, who had escaped the catastrophe, were so frightened that they did not dare to waste any more time, so they looked at each other, and Tang Xian quickly moved back and let go of the dry place on the board of the boat to write for Yanxia.
Yanxia had one free hand to write, and it was extremely inconvenient to float in the water, and as soon as she struggled to write a word, her body sank, and she almost sank into the water, and hurriedly grabbed the side of the boat to stabilize herself.
There was a word left on the board, the handwriting was scribbled and crooked, and Tang Xian almost didn't recognize it.
Save.
"Save whom?" Tang Xian made a mouth shape.
The haze pointed at herself.
"You're going to let me save you?" Tang Xian was confused, she couldn't protect herself, how to save Yanxia? If possible, she would like to beg Yanxia to save her.
"Cloud stops." Yanxia grabbed the side of the boat and lip-synced with her.
"I save you from the clouds?" Tang Xian asked incredulously.
How can she have such a skill!
Tang Xian really wanted to ask Yanxia, now that she knows that she is afraid, why did she steal the things that Yunzhu had in the first place?
This sentence was too long, the two of them didn't have a tacit understanding, and it was expected that Yanxia couldn't understand her mouth shape, Tang Xian couldn't help it, and said silently: "Treasure map." β
This is the only thing that can save her from Yun Zhu's men.
Nine out of ten things are safe, but Yanxia's face collapsed, and she responded to give her an expression of wanting to cry without tears.
Tang Xian was puzzled, unable to wait for her explanation, so she poured water on her face and urged.
Yanxia made a mouth shape with a sad face, this sentence was too complicated, Tang Xian couldn't understand it, a few back and forth, Yanxia's face was full of despair, and she couldn't wait to hit her head on the side of the ship.
The communication between the two was stuck at this step, and when he was in a hurry, Yanxia suddenly looked up at the riverbank.
It had been two quarters of an hour since the boat had sailed into the lake, the setting sun had been completely hidden under the mountain, the sky had darkened, and the clouds had stopped by Tang Xian, who had ridden away in anger.
He leaped off his horse and strode straight in the direction of the boat in the water.
Yanxia was so frightened that her facial features were almost distorted, and she was desperately gesturing, and seeing that Tang Xian really didn't understand, she was so anxious that she pulled her face.
