XXVII. Bonfires

Ha San took people out first, he had to ensure safety, and when he saw it, the leader was Boyan. Ha San greeted him and said a few polite words, his eyes like looking in the crowd.

Boyan understood what he meant, nodded to Nalan, and Nalan said: "Don't worry, the official is honest, straightforward, and don't do those things that steal chickens and dogs." My father has already made preparations, someone dares to think crookedly, and if the officials don't need to do it, someone will definitely clean him up. Rest assured, nothing goes wrong. ”

Nalan said this very euphemistically in Chinese, which was very unexpected by Ha San. Looking at his daytime behavior, he is a proud peacock.

Ha San saw that his big beautiful eyes flashed, and his eyebrows were a little thick, all of which were full of sincerity. This is really a judgment between the two, Ha San suddenly felt good, and most of the unhappiness during the day disappeared.

Nalan then said in Mongolian dialect: "I, Ada, know that it is not convenient to enter the camp, but the pasture in front of you has been cleared, the snow has been cleared, and the wood and sesame oil have been prepared. You'll find out when you get there and take a look. ”

Boyan took over: "Don't worry, I already understand what the officials mean." At first I heard three horns inside, which was a courtesy to the honored guest, and I had just seen the angel, and I could see that he was hesitating. I told everyone to leave the raw things at the door and we went straight to the front. Nalan, go light the fire. ”

Nalan glanced at Ha San, shook his hair, and ran away.

It was getting dark, and bonfires were lit in front of the camp. Li Da has already walked out of the camp. Ha San gave Han Liu'er a look, Han Liu'er understood, and said to Chen Lu: "My lord, tie your clothes tightly, it's too cold outside." "As you speak, you will tidy up your clothes.

Chen Lu understood that he was checking the blue belt, the green dragon sword, and the ghost talisman, so he asked, "Have the officers and soldiers put on the talisman?"

Han Liu'er said: "I've put them all on." ”

Everyone walked towards the campfire as they spoke, and near the entrance of the camp, there was a large table, and a large brazier was placed on it. Bonfires were lit on both sides of the table, and cheese, cooked meat, and a few melons and fruits were placed on the table.

Li Da was very satisfied, he didn't feel the slightest cold in this icy and snowy plateau area, Boyan arranged for a few officials to sit down, and then led everyone to salute. Li Da stood up and helped him up, and asked Xizi to help Boyan up.

The people saluted, and a large circle was formed around the bonfire, and the ground was covered with wool felt or large wolfskin mattresses, and they all sat on the ground. Over here. There is no difference between Mongolian, Han and Hui, and everyone feels like a family.

Li Da sat at the table with everyone, he had something on his mind, ate a little, drank a bowl of mare's milk wine, and got down to business.

Boyan said: "My lord is not busy, the heavenly master has gone out, and he will come back about the second watch." Now we can put our hearts in our stomachs and drink with our hearts. ”

At this time, several Mongol Han played the spoon huqin (horse-head qin). Everyone fell silent, and the melodious sound of the piano accompanied by the crackling of fire was transmitted into the distance in this empty snowy grassland.

Everyone looked at the sky, spotless, and the confused star blinked mischievously from time to time, feeling that the star was overhead, within reach.

The officers and men of the mission have never had this kind of enjoyment since they set off from Suzhou. At this time, someone danced to the sound of the piano.

Nalan ran over and took Ha San's hand to dance. Li Da was taken aback, this Mongolian was generous enough, not only showed his head, but also dared to pull and pull men in public. In the Celestial Empire, only the people of the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion were like this.

Chen Lu saw Wenda, Wenda's eyes stared at Nalan, Chen Lu sighed in his heart, My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman.

Although Nalan is not a stunning woman, in the eyes of these Qiu Ba, she has beaten Diao Chan and Fat Ring Thin Yan. He Zicheng is not like this, and he also admires this Mongolian woman very much.

Chen Lu shook his head and said with a smile: "Two adults, let's go dance too." ”

Li Da was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Lu's eyes, and hurriedly got up. At this time, Boyan had already stood up and bowed down to invite.

Li Da knew in his heart, what were you doing on this cold day? Isn't it just for Huairou? People circled around and jumped happily. Mongolian men and women sang with the huqin.

Li Xian felt that this singing, this scene seemed familiar, and it felt like a dream. He saw that Li Da would not take a step at all, and Chen Lu seemed to be able to let go a little.

And Li Xian himself involuntarily jumped up with the song, decent, and very open. This took several officials by surprise.

Boyan also saw it in his eyes, and came over and asked, "Master Li is also a Mongolian?"

Speaking Mongolian, Li Xian shook his head in confusion. Boyan thought that he couldn't understand Mongolian, so he asked again in a mixture of Mongolian and Chinese. Li Xian came back to his senses, smiled and said in Mongolian: "I am Han." "Mongolian is very pure.

At this time, someone came to tell Boyan that the Heavenly Master was coming. Boyan was immediately introduced to several officials. People thought that this Heavenly Master was an old man, and they were taken aback when they saw him, this Heavenly Master was just in his early thirties, short, round, and his facial features were quite upright.

Chen Lu knew that the so-called Heavenly Master was a sorcerer. This profession is like that of the Qin Tianjian and the Tai Hospital officials of the Celestial Empire, both of which are hereditary.

The Heavenly Master knew that it was an official, and he came up to see the salute, and everyone quietly returned to the camp, and Boyan and Nalan also went together. In the big tent of the sentry at the gate of the camp, Hu Chun's hundred households had already arranged to put the two patients here.

The Celestial Master just stood at a distance and watched for a moment, took out three sticks of incense from his back and lit them, walked to the door of the big tent, looked into the sky and prayed, chanted words in his mouth, burned the ghost talisman, and then knelt down again, touching his hands and head to the ground.

Under the light and shadow of the torches, everyone saw that his head was steaming white, and his forehead was sweating profusely.

After a quarter of an hour, he straightened up, said something to the air, slowly stood up, and said, "My lords, these two little brothers ate the food or water of the poor ghosts when they passed through the poor ghost village, and they were hit by evil spirits, and they were all depressed in their bodies, so it's okay to do it. ”

The crowd saw that he was right, and there was hope. Li Da hurriedly said: "What the Heavenly Master said is that if the soldiers can be cured, the envoy will not hesitate to reward. ”

The Celestial Master said, "It's easy to say." He took out a peachwood sword, burned another talisman, took the peachwood sword and gestured for a while, and said, "Bring the wine!"

Someone brought half a bowl of soju. He took out a ghost talisman from his boots again, blew it with his mouth, the ghost talisman was on fire, he blew again, and the ghost talisman floated into the wine bowl, and there was a "whew". The house was full of red light, and it was extinguished in a flash.

The Heavenly Master picked up the wine bowl and gave it to the patient, then stood up, holding the peachwood sword, stepping on the seven-star step, the tip of the sword pointed to the Beidou, and there were words in his mouth, only to hear him shout "Go", a red light rushed out from the peachwood sword, and shot into the air like an arrow.

But in the air, the red light stopped, shook back and forth, and after a while began to retreat. There is a green tail that follows it from time to time.
