The Golden Bough and the Dog v. 51
Bright and shining, coupled with the reflection on the water, from a distance, it looks like a full moon floating in the water.
When the clouds stopped and opened the carp, and when he got on the plank, the canopy sank and shook with his footsteps.
"Brother, don't crash the boat." Yun Yuan sat on the bow of the boat and chattered at the same time, his calf sank into the water, and he kicked a splash.
Yun stopped ignoring her, and went into the cabin and sat down in front of Tang Xian.
There were three cups on the low table, two of which had already been poured tea, and the rest was empty for the clouds.
When the person arrived, Tang Xian rolled up her cuffs and poured tea for him.
"What are you looking for me to do?" Cloud stopped asking.
"I want to ......" Tang Xian's heart was a little confused, and she didn't know which one to say first.
Ask him why he knew that he had bad eyes, but not only did he not say it, but he also let himself clumsily cover it up?
Ask him why he didn't threaten himself with this. Using this threat is much more terrifying than those verbal intimidations.
Also, since he is bold, why didn't he take advantage of others?
It doesn't make sense to ask these words.
People are always easily blinded by first impressions, and from the first time they met, Tang Xian decided that Yun Zhu was not a good person, so he guarded against him in everything, and always thought of him as a bad person.
But how can a bad guy treat a captive like that? If it is said that it is because of the ancestral teachings......
As Yun Yuan said, her family's ancestral teachings have been passed down for 100 years, and many of them have been forgotten by their ancestors.
You can leave the cloud unguarded, or just pretend to be in front of people.
Tang Xian watched the clouds stop, and the cabin was full of lanterns covered with white veil, and she could clearly see the long eyelashes of the clouds.
His mother must have been a very beautiful woman......
Tang Xian thought out of place.
"Look at the cashier." Yun stopped picking up the teacup and put it down heavily, and the sound of porcelain colliding shocked Tang Xian back to her senses.
She dodged slightly, put aside the inconsequential things, and followed the words of the cloud and asked, "Are you short of silver?" ”
"Who would think a lot of silver?"
That's right, no one would think that he had a lot of money, let alone that kind of ambition.
Tang Xian sighed, it seemed that the matter of the treasure map was unavoidable.
She asked: "The world is too peaceful, why do you have to rebel?" It's okay if you don't, your parents and relatives will be affected by you, and then it's too late to regret it. ”
Every time Yun stopped listening to her mention the royal family, he had strange feelings in his heart.
She seems to be defending the royal family, but in her words, she does not have that much respect for the royal family.
Yun stopped taking a sip of tea and said, "Today's peaceful and prosperous era relies on the residual prestige of the previous emperors, rather than the diligence of the dynasty. In recent years, the royal family has been absurd, why can't capable people replace it? ”
Looking at the royal family of all dynasties, each has its own unbearable, such a dynasty can be passed down for hundreds of years, Yun Zhu is surprised as a prince and grandson.
But Tang Xian was in a dilemma, hesitated, and said: "The royal family has been ridiculous in recent years, but you can't overturn everyone because of a few emperors, and the ancestors of the royal family have also had several generations of Ming monarchs......"
"Just the present."
Just the present.
Also, if he is a wise and martial monarch today, where would anyone dare to rebel within the borders of the country?
Limited to today's world, Yu Gong and Tang Xian agree with Yun Zhu, this absurd dynasty should be replaced.
Yun Zhu really ascended the throne, not to mention how well he did, at least he could be more courageous than the previous short-lived emperors.
is private, but Tang Xian doesn't want him to rebel.
First, she is really afraid that he will not succeed in rebellion and affect her family, and she doesn't want to become the second her and more miserable her.
The second is for herself, she has been entangled with Yun Zhu, looking back on the past, there were quarrels and disputes, but she never thought that Yun Zhu died, just like Yun Zhu never really hurt her.
Public and private are opposed, she tilts back and forth, and she can't make up her mind.
The wick of the candle on the low table crackled, and Tang Xian woke up from her hard thoughts.
Jiangshan Sheji has never been an unknown treasure that can be controlled, and Tang Xian has no choice but to exchange for Yanxia and her own freedom first.
Thinking of this, she said, "I'll give you the treasure map, can you let the smoke go?" ”
"Let go of the smoke and let you go?" Yun stopped helping her say what was in her heart.
Tang Xian nodded slightly.
"I don't know." The treasure map was almost at his fingertips, but there was no joy on Yun Zhu's face.
He sat with a tense waist, much taller than Tang Xian, and looked down indifferently, "You have only been with her for more than half a month, saving her life and taking care of her injuries, and she in turn deceived you into the wolf's den, why can you trust her so much and think about her?" ”
"It's not a wolf's den......" Tang Xian's hand on the table quietly raised and pointed at Yun Zhu, how could he say that his mansion was a wolf's den?
…… She had thought so when she first came in, but now she has changed.
Seeing that Yun stopped ignoring her words, Tang Xian retracted her hand and said, "I can't guess her thoughts, but she has helped me a lot ......."
Just because Yanxia dragged her seriously injured body to accompany her into the tomb to sleep in order to prevent her from being afraid, it was enough for Tang Xian to remember it in her heart.
Yanxia loves to play tricks on people, but in the eyes of Tang Xian and the maids who have been trapped in the imperial tomb for a long time, she is a beam of sunlight shining into the tomb, strong and dazzling, with infinite hope.
"She helped me a lot when I was alone." Tang Xian solemnly replied.
"Didn't I help you?" Yun stopped and asked rhetorically.
Tang Xian was weird when she heard him, how could she compete with Yanxia?
She secretly glanced at Yun Zhu's face twice, and was forced by him to look sharply, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Usually she can mess around, and she doesn't dare to stop with Yun when discussing business.
Tang Xian shook the strange idea out of her head, thought about it seriously, and said, "Helped, you helped me...... Well...... That one...... Help me...... Uh......"
Yun stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out.
Tang Xian hurriedly chased after her, but her movements were too hurried, and she accidentally kicked over a lantern, and the round lantern rolled to the feet of the cloud one step ahead of her, and was extinguished by him with one foot.
"...... who helped me" Tang Xian took the opportunity to grab him, "Helped me block the arrow and saved me many times......"
Yun stopped looking back and asked sharply, "So what?" You can trust Yanxia, but you always have such a heavy defense against me? ”
Tang Xian hadn't seen him so fierce since he was injured, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "But, but you save me...... It's to find the haze and the treasure map......"
Speaking of which, the clouds are already full of frost.
For some reason, Tang Xian's heart was enveloped by a sense of loss, her hands clenched her clothes, and she asked silently in her heart: "...... Isn't it? ”
She is the only clue to the smoke and the treasure map, leaving her, protecting her, and indulging her, from beginning to end, the clouds stop for a purpose.
Tang Xian's heart felt as if a big stone had been pressed, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She pressed her heart, ignoring the suppressed pain, raised her face and looked directly at Yun Zhu, and said word by word: "And I don't think it's a mistake to be on guard. If you were me, maybe you would be more cautious than I am. ”
At the end of the sentence, the sourness and grievance hit her heart, and Tang Xian's eyes suddenly reddened.
She doesn't know why this sour feeling comes from, is it a marriage that was treated as a cheap commodity a few years ago?
The horror of being thrown into the imperial tomb with the old corpses at a young age?
Parents who haven't had a message with her in five years?
Or is it the cloud stop that has bad intentions towards her in front of her, but in turn accuses her of being overly guarded?
Tang Xian didn't feel that she was wrong in doing this, she gritted her teeth, and she no longer wanted to cry in front of Yun Zhu.
"I've given it back to you." Tang Xian took out the parchment paper and put it on the low table, her voice low and dull, "I don't owe you anything, and according to your promise, you will let me go tomorrow." ”
With that, she turned and walked out of the cabin.
The candle lights outside the cabin were shining, stinging Tang Xian's eyes, and she covered her sleeves, leaving a water mark on the cuffs.
Yun Xuan outside was not allowed to enter the cabin, and playing in the water alone was boring, and when he saw her, he hurriedly called her along.
On the outskirts of the mountains and villages, the moonlight dissolves, and a small boat blows the wind and admires the moon, Tang Xian has never experienced it.
She had just given the treasure map to Yun Zhu, and she was about to leave tomorrow, and her heart was not only not relaxed, but also even heavier.
It was as if a scorching heat had gathered in her heart, rushing down the stream of blood into her eyes, trying to break through her eyes.
"Maomao, you and me." Yun Xuan couldn't see her strange appearance, her feet were lifted from the water, and the water droplets on her white and tender insteps rolled back into the lake, stirring the water surface to ripple.
"Come on, it's so cool and comfortable!"
The grandfather of the Tang family attached great importance to etiquette, and Tang Xian never took off her shoes and socks to play outside like Yun Yuan since she was a child.
Now in the wilderness, the boat has drifted to the middle of the lake, and no one can see it except the clouds in the cabin.
Yun stopped, who was a righteous gentleman who abided by the family rules, but was not too strict, and was seen by him......
He sees it, can see it but can't touch it, and starves him to death!
Tang Xian's depressed heart had an urge to indulge on the spot, what is the eldest lady of the Tang family, the queen's mother, and the queen's mother, she wants to take off all these titles and step on them!
She kicked off her shoes and socks, sat down next to Yun Yuan, and plunged her feet straight into the water, the coolness spread to her calves, and Tang Xian shuddered and took it back.
Yun Yuan laughed, "Don't be afraid, there are only fish in it...... Maomao, you are so timid. ”
As she spoke, she splashed Tang Xian's instep on the instep of Tang Xian by hooking the lake water with her toes.
After adapting to the water temperature, Tang Xian once again put her feet into the water, and the coolness rose from the soles of her feet, finally extinguishing the restless emotions in her heart.
"Fun, right? You kick ...... like this," Yun Yuan taught her to play with the water, raised her feet high above the water, and then slammed them back, splashing the corners of their skirts.
Tang Xian lifted the corners of her skirt upwards and followed her to shake her feet for a while.
After the mood improved, the person slowly calmed down, and all the things in his heart were transformed into a faint sadness and depression.
Tang Xian hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, it wasn't as intense as the pain in her body or the fear in the dark, like a sticky spider silk constantly pulling, and the more she pulled, the more it wound up.
In her distraction, suddenly, Tang Xian's ankle hanging in the water was rubbed by something, and she shook violently and pulled her feet back.
The sound of the water is loud -
"There's something in the water...... Tang Xian hurriedly pulled the clouds up.
"Don't be afraid, it's a small fish." Yun Yuan comforted her, and stretched out his feet to her side to fish, "I'll fish you up......"
