Chapter XVI: The Caravan
After three months.
Early in the morning, in a small room, under the light of the morning light, a little girl about one meter four or five tall, with skin like snow, dressed in a white hemp skirt, holding a half-foot-long fiery red feather in her hand, like a pure angel.
But at this moment, the angel seemed to be lying on the edge of the bed, constantly wiggling his little buttocks, and was constantly rubbing the face of a certain boy with the feathers in his hands.
I saw that Lian Shanqing was lying on the bed, tied to the bed by thick green rattan, his posture was a little awkward, but there was no movement, his face was peaceful, and his breathing was smooth, as if he had fallen into a dream.
It's just that when the feather brushed her nose from time to time, she pretended to cough, inadvertently, and scared the little girl to hide under the bed.
Now, for Lian Shanqing, this girl is simply a demon with two horns on her head and black wings on her back, but her parents are confused by her angelic face, so that Lian Shanqing, the only one who sees through her true face, is forced to fall into the clutches of the devil.
Lian Shanqing recalled that night, overheard his parents chatting, and planned to find a child daughter-in-law for himself, it was this elf-like Alan who didn't take it seriously, who knew that his parents actually made fun of the two of them about it.
Since then, Alain's true colors have been revealed, and he feels like he's in hell.
"Okay, don't pretend, you're acting so fake!. ”
I only heard a girl's voice sound, crisp and tactful, staring at Lian Shanqing with an angry face, who pretended to be very innocent.
As soon as the girl's voice fell, Lian Shanqing opened her eyes and looked at Alan who was kneeling on the edge of the bed and glaring at her, and her heart was speechless.
This can also blame me, for more than a month, every morning to come to this set, I don't know how to change the trick, no one is interested.
"Alright, Alain, untie it for me, okay. "I just listened to Lian Shanqing's flattery.
Although, in terms of Lian Shanqing's strength, a few rattans can't tie him up, and he can break away with a slight force.
However, after experiencing it a few times, Lian Shanqing gave up struggling and resisting.
There's no way, who calls people have backers behind them, or tightly press their big backers,
Lian Shanqing still remembers that whenever she was impatient to play with her in the past, on that little face, she was full of grievances and went to her mother to complain.
What's more, it's still a false complaint!!
Every time I think of this, Lian Shanqing is helpless, he has a dragon slaying knife and learns dragon slaying skills, how can he help it, the knife can't be pulled out!
Speaking of which, the girl's name was given by her mother, and she also followed her mother's surname, called ---Tuoba Lan, a very common and slightly cheesy name.
"Let me untie it for you, yes, but you have to promise me one thing. Alain said playfully.
"Good!"
Thinking about it, Lian Shanqing heard the girl's voice, but without any hesitation, she agreed, with Lian Shanqing's understanding of the girl, she would not make any unreasonable requests.
After three months of getting along, although even Shanqing still doesn't believe in the girl's origin, she hasn't stupidly revealed.
Because of this small figure, during this time, he brought countless laughter to his parents, and became a part of the family, making up for the scars of leaving.
What's more, Lian Shanqing didn't feel the slightest malice in the girl's eyes, otherwise, it would be easier to deal with a four-year-old girl with Lian Shanqing's means.
Shao leaned, only to hear the girl shouting: "Then you accompany me to the caravan to play!"
Hearing this, Lian Shanqing was a little surprised, did the caravan come so early? It was just the beginning of summer, and I remember that in previous years, the caravan was close to the rainy season, so it would travel all the way to the tribe.
Suddenly, Lian Shanqing looked at Alan with a look of anticipation, and said, "Have you seen the caravan?" Okay, I'll take you there, and quickly untie it with me." ”
Hearing this, the girl jumped on the bed, jumped on it, and cheered, but she suffered Lian Shanqing on the bed, and was trampled under the feet of the girl, pretending to cry out in pain.
"Ah, I'm sorry, A-Qing, I didn't mean to. Alain hurriedly shouted.
Lian Shanqing seemed to be moved by this insincere apology, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, get off me quickly, quickly untie me, and I can take you to see the caravan." ”
Alan hurriedly got off Lian Shanqing's body, stood on the side of the bed, and hurriedly untied the rattan.
However, I don't know if it's because I'm in a hurry to see the caravan, but I saw that the rattan on Lian Shanqing's body is getting more and more chaotic, and the more chaotic and tight, I can't untie it.
In this regard, Lian Shanqing's forehead was full of black lines, and he shouted helplessly: "You get out of bed first, and I'll solve it myself." ”
Hearing this, Alan stopped what he was doing, his little face was full of doubts, and he was a little puzzled, even Shanqing himself was tied and couldn't move, how to untie the messy rattan.
However, the girl still nodded, obediently walked out of bed, and stood not far from the bed, waiting with curiosity to see Lian Shanqing's movements.
I saw that Lian Shanqing, who was lying on the bed, watched the girl leave, so he used all his strength and pulled it violently.
Bang Zi!
Several rattans on Lian Shanqing's body were instantly broken and scattered all over the bed, and Lian Shanqing, who had regained his freedom, sat up, and hurriedly rubbed his somewhat stiff body to relieve the stasis of qi and blood.
"Wow! A-Qing, you're so amazing. ”
Lian Shanqing looked up and saw Alan circling around him, cheering in his mouth, and constantly praising himself.
Half an hour later....
Outside the Lianshan tribe, about fifty or sixty meters away from the tribe's gate, dozens of simple big tents rose up from the ground, like castles, scattered scattered, forming a temporary village.
Lian Shanqing looked at it, only to see different items, piled up in the small village, some had just been unloaded from the camel beast, and the camel beast that had been freed roared in the place, which immediately caused the owner to scold, and then went to eat hay aggrieved, which can be described as hard work.
These caravans are supposed to be improvised, and along the way, countless caravans will temporarily join or leave.
Unless it was a large caravan with great strength, no caravan would dare to enter this million mountains alone.
Because they don't have enough strength to protect themselves.
No, the number of this caravan was nearly 1,000 people, which was almost the same as the number of his own tribe, and nearly half of them were guards with weapons.
Lian Shanqing looked back, in this short period of time, there were already many tribesmen, carrying the accumulated animal skins and medicinal materials; Or carry small items such as baskets that you have made yourself.
There are also many people who come to this temporary gathering place with ore collected from the deep mountains.
Of course, most of these items are not needed by the tribe and will be traded.
It's just some medicinal herbs that are only two or three hundred years old, ores that can't be forged, etc., can be exchanged for some necessities of life, such as salt, soft cloth, and women's jewelry.
Of course, some hard-won and more precious items are firmly treasured at home, such as bows and arrows, strange things and ancient medicines, which are used to survive and survive.
Less leaning, Lian Shanqing walked into this small village that had just been built, kept looking around, only to see that the crowds were crowded, and from time to time there were clansmen exchanging daily necessities with animal skins and so on.
For example, the bags of rough and yellowed salt, cotton and linen cloth, shovels and ploughs,
However, more than that, it is the handle of all kinds of weapons, bundles of arrows, extremely sharp, from time to time there is a light refraction, the cold is pressing, attracting people's attention.
Leaning less, Lian Shanqing looked at all this in a daze, and couldn't help but ask himself,
In the past three years, there has been no killing in the past, let alone the prosperity of the past, everything is so simple and calm, as if I am gradually losing my heart.
No! No!
I must go back to that starry sky, I will not linger here, my tragic death robe, still there waiting for me to take revenge!!
Lian Shanqing stood there in a daze, his eyes closed, and his mind was like a huge wave.
At this time, Lian Shanqing only felt that a pair of scarlet eyes were looking at him, which was full of hatred and expectation, but more than that......... Glad.
Lian Shanqing was immersed in memories for a long time.
"Ah Qing, look at me quickly, isn't it beautiful?"
I saw that Alan was standing in front of a small stall, holding a wooden hairpin carved with violet in his hand, wanting to insert it in his bun, his hand kept moving, and he looked at Lian Shanqing with an expectant face, and couldn't help but want to hear Lian Shanqing's praise, his face was full of stinky beauty.
The girl's cry woke Lian Shanqing up and attracted Lian Shanqing's attention.
Lian Shanqing's expression eased, and he hurriedly gathered his mind and hurriedly looked at Alain.
I saw that Alan was standing not far away, with a little blushing face, pink makeup, and well-dressed, standing in the crowd, a pair of bright and pure, like stars shining in it.
However, the girl was a little clumsy, and she put the wooden hairpin in the bun crookedly, interlaced with the hairpin she originally carried, which was very unsightly, but the girl was not aware of this, and was looking at Lian Shanqing with a stinky face.
Lian Shanqing walked over slowly, approached behind the girl, straightened the hairpin, and reflected the copper hairpin. Suddenly, the obsessive-compulsive person can be cured.
After a while, Lian Shanqing saw his face looking at him, which was full of longing, as if he was saying:
Praise me!!
In desperation, I only heard Lian Shanqing chuckle helplessly: "Alan is so beautiful." ”
However, Lian Shanqing's praise did not get a response from the girl, and I saw Alan with a low expression and lowered his head, as if he was wronged by something.
Lian Shanqing hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" It's really beautiful. ”
I saw that the girl shook her head and wanted to raise her head, but for some reason, she lowered her head and said nothing.
For a long time, Lian Shanqing was a little puzzled, and just wanted to bend down and look at the girl's face, only to hear a voice come from him, and he was a little choked.
"Ah Qing, we don't have any money, will he detain me and not let me go?" ”
Suddenly, Lian Shanqing's face was very exciting, and he glanced at the stall owner who was chuckling, a little speechless.
"Okay, I have the money, I'll buy it for you right away. ”
As he spoke, Lian Shanqing took out an ordinary jade bottle from his arms, handed it to the stall owner who was watching the excitement, and said:
"I'll exchange this for you, see if it's okay. ”
Tilting less, I saw the stall owner take the jade bottle, and when he looked inside, he saw a red pill the size of a dragon's eye, and hurriedly put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Hmm?Top-grade blood coagulation pill!
Immediately, he hurriedly looked at Lian Shanqing, looked at it carefully, and thought in his heart, although it is just an ordinary pill, it is extremely ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be a top grade, could it be that there are still strong people in this small tribe?
"Is it going to work?"
After a while, Lian Shanqing saw that the stall owner was silent for a long time, and hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, the stall owner hurriedly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, there's still a lot to spare, you can see if there is anything you want, pick another one." ”
Alain, who was extremely nervous just now, was waiting for the stall owner's verdict, his face was full of joy, and he kept looking at the small jewelry placed on the ground, all of them were exquisite, all beautiful, and his heart was a little tangled.
I want that!
However, in the blink of an eye, Alan seemed to suddenly think of something, so he stopped waving, turned to Lian Shanqing and said, "Ah Qing, I don't want it, you can choose one too, let's have one each." ”
Lian Shanqing looked at Alan who was constantly pinching the corner of his clothes, only to see that his little face was full of reluctance, where to pretend to be generous.
Leaning less, I saw Lian Shanqing walk to the stall, squatted down, looked at the stall, and saw that the stall was full of well-carved wooden hairpins, stone carvings, etc., and asked softly: "Shopkeeper, this is all carved by yourself?"
"Haha, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. I saw that the stall owner hurriedly smiled modestly.
Lian Shanqing hurriedly looked at the stall owner, but he didn't expect this stall owner who was dressed sloppily and looked like a savage to have such craftsmanship, it was really unseemly.
As soon as Lian Shanqing wanted to speak, he was attracted by an aggrieved little look, and looked sideways, only to see Alan looking at him pitifully.
Suddenly, Lian Shanqing got into his mind, and pretended to keep groping on it, as if he was picking out his favorite items, wanting to tease Alain.
Suddenly, I don't know what I touched, Lian Shanqing only felt a stream of air from his left hand into his body, winding in a few places, and finally disappeared into the sea of knowledge, and he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly looked at his left hand.
I saw that a seal no more than the size of a fist had become torn apart at this time, and the broken jade wall was full of gold-edged patterns, which looked a little old, but the style was very ordinary.
Lian Shanqing hurriedly raised his head and asked the stall owner: "Don't blame me, you also saw it, I just touched it lightly, and it shattered." ”
The stall owner was also a little helpless and a little surprised.
I still remember that this seal was exchanged by myself a few days ago from another tribe in this million mountains, and I looked at it for a little years at that time, so I took it easily, who would have thought that it would be so unstrong?
Tilted less, I saw that the stall owner said helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay, you can choose any one." ”
So, Lian Shanqing casually picked up a wooden hairpin from the stall, looked at it carefully, and saw a lark engraved on it, vivid, so he made a decision and said, "That's it." ”
Almost instantly, hearing Lian Shanqing's voice, the stall owner glanced slightly.
It's just an ordinary wooden hairpin, and with that high-grade blood condensation pill, in exchange for two casually carved wooden hairpins, it is even more profitable, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”
Lian Shanqing, who heard the stall owner's answer, stood up, handed the wooden hairpin to Alan casually, and said, "I've sent it to you." ”
As he spoke, he handed it over and was subconsciously received by Alain.
Hearing this, Alan was full of entanglement, and was a little puzzled at first, but when he saw the wooden hairpin carved with a lark in his hand, he quickly reacted, and hurriedly cheered, shouting loudly: "Ah Qing, you are so good." Hee-hee"
But at this time, Lian Shanqing just wanted to hurry home and see what was going on with the invisible air flow that penetrated into his body, so he hurriedly pulled Alan up, ignored his reluctant wail, and hurriedly walked home.
At this time, the stall owner who stayed in place hurriedly cleaned up the fragments of the seal, looked at the two distant figures, and couldn't help but sigh, the children of this year are really easy to deceive
