214 Three visits to the thatched house (2)
"Ahh The old butler, dressed in a sentry costume, was a little embarrassed.
Although they know that the king can endure hardships and work weekdays, as the tulouzi next to the king's water stable, it is really not in accordance with the rules.
"It's okay, then I'll stay there for one night for the time being, and make a decision tomorrow night, I don't believe it, he is busy with official business, and he can really afford it with me. After thinking about it, Argus decided to live in the hut next to the stable, although the place was a little worse, after all, where it was safer.
Agus flashed through the gate and ran straight to the hut next to the stable.
This is an abandoned house, because it used to be a place where the horse watchers lived, the things were very simple, and because it was too close to the stable, there were a lot of mosquitoes and flies, so it has been uninhabited, anyway, it is indeed a lot safer than the cave, although the environment is a little worse, but it can also hide for a night.
Mo Xingchen lit a kerosene lamp and read in the dim light, while Xu Yu'er was drawing on the side, neither of them wanted to go to sleep first, because they were both willing to spend more time with each other.
"Xingchen, did you hear the cuckoo's call just now, the bird seems to be sick, and the call is not so crisp. Xu Nuo'er muttered while drawing green mountains and green waters.
"Oh, I didn't pay attention, where is the cuckoo, it's not bad to catch one and play with it. Mo Xingchen smiled and raised his eyes to look at Xu Nuo'er.
"Pull it down, you think you're an eagle, but people have wings, and what you can catch is not a dead bird. Xu Yu'er said disappreciatively.
"Haha! In Nuo'er's heart, this king is so useless, or let's make a bet, as long as the cuckoo comes tomorrow, you can tell this king, this king will definitely catch a live bird for you, how about it?" Mo Xingchen promised with a smile.
"Okay, okay, then I'll prick up my ears to listen to-morrow, as long as the cuckoo comes, I'll tell you right away, and you can help me catch it immediately?"
"Okay, it's a word, as long as it dares to come, I'll go and catch it. Mo Xingchen nodded with a smile.
The two hit it off and decided to wait to catch the cuckoo the next night.
Early the next morning, Mo Xingchen and Xu Yue'er got up very early, and watched the people in the village practice and produce like Agus, eat with them, chat together, and there was no shelf at all, the people in the village liked this prince who was the least like the prince very much, not to mention the princess who looked like a fairy, they liked it even more.
The four dark guards and Lu Wu also chatted very speculatively with the big guys, they finally understood why the prince and princess liked it here, it turned out that the people here were really simple, there was no bad heart at all, and the people in the imperial city were simply people from two worlds, from their bodies, they completely saw the original goodness of human beings, and saw the truth, goodness and beauty.
Time flies, soon it's night, everyone has had dinner, there is no entertainment here, what a theater garden, circus, storyteller don't think about it, in addition to finding a few friends to sit under the big tree and drink, then there is only one left to go up the mountain to adventure to find excitement, most people choose to sleep at home honestly, and have plenty of energy to work the next day.
Xu Nuo'er and Mo Xingchen are still reading books and painting, and the only way for them to relieve their boredom is to do so.
About an hour later, Xu Yu'er faintly heard the cry of "Cuckoo!Cuckoo!", which was not loud, but it was quite real.
"I hear you, the cuckoo is coming again, shall we go catch the cuckoo?" Xu Xu'er put down the wolf and rushed out of the house.
"Shhhhh
"Oh, yes, then we are moving too slowly, won't it fly away?" Xu Yu'er said in a puzzled manner.
"It doesn't have wings, where does it fly?" Mo Xingchen said jokingly.
"What do you say, have you ever seen a cuckoo without wings?" Xu Yu'er became more and more confused, and he was confused.
"Yes, maybe it's this one. Let's go!" Mo Xingchen pulled Xu Xu'er and touched towards the target.
Xu Nuo'er couldn't help but make a mistake in his heart, this is catching birds, this is obviously hide and seek, whose birds are so easy to catch?
When the two came not far from the village, Xu Yu'er was stunned. Isn't that man in black Agus, why is he standing here at night, he, didn't he go to visit relatives and friends, didn't he say, he couldn't come back for ten days and half a month, this outfit looks like he is hiding, where does it look like visiting relatives and friends, and what does this have to do with cuckoos?
The two of them hid in the bushes and watched as Agus entered the stockade and walked directly towards the stables.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting, Xu Yu'er's eyes were wide open, but he didn't expect that he wanted to catch a cuckoo on a whim, and he actually caught a big bird hiding so deeply.
The two looked at each other, each understood, followed the figure of Argus, and soon came to the stable, where the kerosene lamp was lit, and under the flickering light, Argus was reading by candlelight.
That was the medical knowledge that Xu Nuo'er taught them, but I didn't expect him to be so attentive, and when he came back, he copied it in a notebook with his memory, and the book was made of rice paper, densely remembering the names of various pathologies and herbs.
Xu Yu'er couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this guy was so attentive that he actually wrote down all these things, and he also reviewed them every day, and this king didn't do it so worry-free.
Mo Xingchen glanced at Xu Yu'er, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Mo Xingchen pushed the door and walked in.
"Xingchen—you, why are you here?" Agus raised his eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Mo Xingchen find here.
"You, don't you think it's funny to hide like this, and you think you're hiding mysteriously, and no one can find you?" Mo Xingchen smiled and asked instead of answering.
"No, there is nowhere to hide here, otherwise you will never come here, the mountain is too dangerous. Agus smiled bitterly and said what was on his mind. In the face of an old friend like Mo Xingchen for many years, there was no need for him to hide anything.
"Why are you hiding, because the imperial court looks up to you and wants to reuse you, but you are over-the-top and disdainful, or are you used to being an idle cloud and wild crane?" Mo Xingchen said with some excitement.
"Maybe it's the latter, I really don't want to care about the world anymore, my heart is lazy, and it's very comfortable to live such a leisurely life. Agus sighed softly and said leisurely.
"You are selfish and irresponsible, everyone knows that it is good to be an idle cloud and wild crane, you can be leisurely, you can live a long life, but have you thought about it, without us fools who are willing to put on battle armor and charge into battle, what conditions do you smart people have to live the so-called leisurely life?" Mo Xingchen didn't want to talk about these big truths, and he didn't want to hurt the harmony, but he felt that if he didn't say it now, he would have to say it in the future, as a member of the Mexican country, he had the obligation to protect his family and defend the country.
"Yes, I understand all these truths, but I don't want to be involved, I don't want to be competitive anymore, I just want to be a monk for a day. Agus lowered his eyes and said sadly.
Sometimes people just lack a trace of fighting spirit, and I hope that there is a person who can do everything to awaken his fighting spirit, so that he can find himself again, and he no longer has to live a muddy life.
"Hehe, everyone wants to live a simple and happy life, but who knows how many people behind such a life are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood, willing to pay, you and I are both young adults, if you want to live such a life now, it is too early, you can also say that you are too selfish, if I think so, the top and bottom of the country of Mexico think so, it is estimated that it will not be long before we will become prisoners, at that time I am afraid that I will not even have the right to choose life and death, let alone what kind of lifestyle to choose. It is the responsibility of the people who rise and fall in the country, so we cannot be indifferent to the point of standing idly by. Mo Xingchen's righteous words, words knocked on Argus's heart like a hammer, it turned out that he had been evading, he had a heart of revenge before, but he had no way to vote, and now someone came to invite him, and his ambition has faded.
"Don't say it, you're right, I'm going out of the mountain with you, but please give me a month, I want to use this month to deal with everything here in an orderly manner, to use this month to complete my unfulfilled wishes, and then officially say goodbye to the old and young here, and elect the next king. Agus let out a long sigh, still persuaded by Mo Xingchen's long compilation.
"Okay, this request is not too much, I also know that you will not be untrustworthy, so this month, I will make the first decision for the emperor, and when you are done here, we will take you into the capital as an official, and then your ideals and ambitions will be realized, but don't have other thoughts that you shouldn't have, otherwise I will chase you to the ends of the earth!" Mo Xingchen smiled evilly and nodded.
"Okay, then you can rest, I'll go back first. Mo Xingchen said with a snicker.
"Stop, Lord Fu, you still have a good time occupying the magpie's nest, right?Now that we have all agreed, should you give me back the room?"
"Haha, I thought you liked the smell of the stable, and you were reluctant to go back, it turns out that your father is quite normal. Mo Xingchen laughed.
"Of course I'm normal, but it's not normal for you two to run to the stable in the middle of the night without sleeping. Agus glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but say.
"You're embarrassed to say it, the cuckoo will have to settle accounts with you for a while, because you have ruined the sweet image of others, your acoustic owl is almost the same, what kind of cuckoo to learn, it is no different from the call of a few years ago is still so bad. Mo Xingchen couldn't help but complain.
