Chapter 2 The Girl of Southern Xinjiang
Chen Mingye sat in the firewood room, and vaguely heard bursts of singing from outside the house, this singing from big to small, from far to near, and soon even the two men at the door should sing in harmony.
What kind of song is this? He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
There are dozens of tribes in southern Xinjiang, the mountains are steep, and the poisonous snakes and insects are not willing to spend a lot of energy to carry out complete unification, so they only formally let the southern Xinjiang tribes be subordinate to Haoming, and set up local officials to govern them, and in essence, the tribes are still in a very loose state of alliance, and each has a lot of free space.
Chen Mingye naturally knew that this was a certain dialect of southern Xinjiang, but he was slightly surprised by the strange arrangement and rhythm. With a certain spirituality, like a woman you have been longing for a long time, dancing on the lake of your heart with light steps, although it is a microwave, it can stir up infinite waves.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps at the door, and although he was unwilling, he had to put his hand, which had just been freed for a short time, back into the shackles.
"Miss, why are you here?" asked the guard at the door.
"I happened to be passing by here, hey, what are you guarding Brother Shi?" The voice was crisp and exquisite, so that people couldn't help but think of a playful and lovely girl in their minds when they heard it.
"Miss Hui, this is an exiled prisoner that the village elder has asked us to look after. The guard replied.
"Oh, Brother Qingfeng, you don't have to be so polite to me, can I go in and have a look?" the girl grinned.
"This ...... The village chief told us to keep a strict watch, and we couldn't ......" Listening to the voice, the guards were obviously a little hesitant.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the girl's delicate voice: "I'm not an outsider, I'm just curious, just take a look, grandpa won't blame you." ”
"Alright then, miss, as soon as possible, let's go to the village fire altar after reading it, today is a good day, you can't miss it. ”
"Hehe, sure enough, Brother Shi is the best for me. The girl's voice was full of joy, and when she pushed the door and walked into the firewood room.
The door was creaked open, Chen Mingye raised his eyes, and saw a girl in a colorful skirt, with apricot eyes and a peach smile, the colorful crown on her head was particularly eye-catching, and she wore a delicate silver ring on each hand, which added a bit of delicate and lovely atmosphere to her.
The girl naturally saw Chen Mingye's embarrassed appearance in the house, she was stunned at first, and then took small steps to him and turned around, but she didn't look scared at all.
The two guards at the door stared tightly, and one of them couldn't help but speak: "Miss, if you see it, leave quickly, this person has committed a felony of exile for thousands of miles, and he must be a vicious criminal." ”
"Evil?" said the girl, tilting her head, staring at him carefully, "I don't think so, but I think he's a little pitiful." You'd better go and keep watch at the door, I'll stay here for a while, and I'll be fine." ”
The two guards hesitated, but obeyed the girl and returned to their posts.
The girl looked at him and said softly, "Hey, bearded, what's your name?"
Bearded? Chen Mingye was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the girl was calling herself, he hadn't taken care of it for several years, so he naturally looked sloppy.
But he didn't want to open his mouth, and he didn't want to make any extra noise before sending the letter.
"Hey, are you dumb?" the girl pouted unhappily when she saw that he didn't agree to herself.
Chen Mingye naturally still wouldn't respond.
"It's not interesting," said the girl, but she still looked at him carefully, "bearded, you can't speak, you can always hear me." Then I ask you, are you from Northstate?"
He still deliberately ignored her.
"If you don't speak, I'll take you by default. The girl grinned, her eyelashes curled, and her big eyes curved into the arc of a crescent moon, "I actually heard grandpa tell me about your origin when I was having dinner." ”
Chen Mingye continued when he did not hear.
"Then I continue to ask you, why were you exiled to us?"
“......”
"Oh, you can't speak, so let's do it, you just have to shake your head or nod your head to answer my question, that's fine, right?"
He simply closed his eyes.
"Bearded, do you want to run away?" the girl suddenly leaned into his ear and asked softly.
The light heat made his ears tickle a little, and the fragrance that belonged to a girl wafted into his nose, which made him slightly sluggish for a while.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my chest, and then I heard the girl's triumphant cheers.
"Hee-hee, get it!"
He hurriedly looked up and saw that the girl was holding the letter he had hidden in her chest, and she looked excited.
Chen Mingye was suddenly shocked, the letter in the girl's hand was his only hope at present!
The letter was specially sealed in this ragged garment, and under normal circumstances, it would not have been discovered under any circumstances. How did this girl bring the letter from him silently!
Under the anger, the blood surged up for a while, and the deep qi and blood power that he had been hiding was mobilized, and it was just when he was about to vomit in one breath, but the girl glanced at the envelope and threw the letter back lightly.
"It turned out to be a letter, and it was not interesting. The girl stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Don't be angry, bearded, I'm just joking with you." ”
"......" He was stunned, unable to comprehend the girl's mind for a moment. It was good that the letter had returned, and he struggled to get up and took it back into his hand.
The girl said, "Oh, how can you put the letter back in this way, it won't be good if someone else finds out." ”
He couldn't help but shake his fist, he felt that although this girl was sweet and cute, she was a little ...... Mischievous bad.
The girl continued to say to herself, "That's it, beard, how about you answer me a few questions, and I'll help you put the letter back?"
If you don't want to expose yourself and can break free from the shackles, it seems that you can only accept the threat of the girl in front of you. Helpless, he had no choice but to nod.
"Hee-hee, bearded, you're finally willing to answer me. His movements made the girl jump, and even the whole person seemed to be a lot lighter.
Chen Mingye was a little depressed in his heart, this girl was not idle and a little bored, and the annual celebration of the Southern Xinjiang Torch Festival came to toss himself as an exile.
The girl rubbed her hands and said, "Then I'm going to start asking questions." ”
He had to reluctantly nod his head, which was considered to be cooperative.
"Dangdang, first question, do you think I'm good-looking?" the girl stared at him with almond eyes as if trying to see if he was lying.
"......" He was stunned, what is the problem, this girl's thinking jumps seem to be a bit high. But he didn't need to hesitate anything, just nodded.
"Hee-hee, bearded, now for the second question, do you like me?"
Still nodding his head simply.
"Hmph, the bearded man is such a casual person!" the girl said reproaching him, but her face was bright, "Then I have to ask the third question, do you want to run away?"
His heart finally came, so he decisively chose to shake his head.
The girl stretched out her slender fingers and waved them in front of his eyes: "The bearded man is not honest, don't believe that I don't want to tell the truth, right?"
Chen Mingye continued to shake his head, he felt that he was now a bit like a toy puppet, at the mercy of the girl.
"Hmph," the girl snorted, "then I'll change the question, would you like me to run away with you?"
For a while, it was a little difficult to understand what the girl was thinking, of course, what she was thinking didn't matter to him, as long as it didn't implicate him, so he shook his head decisively.
The girl didn't care about his movements at all, and said, "Okay, bearded, if you don't speak, I'll take you as a default." ”
"......" He decided that this girl was playing a prank to make fun of himself, so he naturally didn't bother to take care of her.
"Alright, then we'll settle it!" the girl looked determined.
He just looked at her quietly, thinking to himself what tricks she could play.
Then Chen Mingye was stunned to see that the girl actually pulled out a short blade from behind her, and it was like he slashed over.
The qi and blood in his body boiled again, and he took a breath and prepared to fight back, but unexpectedly, the direction of the blade was not aimed at him at all, but the blade was downward, and it slashed on the shackles.
Just listen to the "click", the seal and the shackles were cut together, the girl's strength is obviously very skillful, and the force she grasps is just enough to break the shackles without making too much sound. The hand kept exerting force, and under the flick of the blade, the shackles on Chen Mingye's feet were also cut off and fell.
"All right, that's easy," the girl put the short blade back into the scabbard, clapped her hands in satisfaction, and looked at him with a smile.
He looked at her inexplicably, wondering what the girl wanted to do, whether he really wanted to let him go, but in any case, he had made up his mind that he would not move.
When the girl saw that he was stunned, she said, "Go, and I will take you away, so that you will not have to continue to suffer." ”
He still sat motionless.
The girl was a little annoyed for a moment, and said, "You are not a fool, I will help you escape, and if you stay there motionless, are you willing to go to the penal colony to do hard labor?"
Taking advantage of the fact that his hands were free, Chen Mingye carefully stuffed the letter back into the sealed mezzanine of his tattered clothes, and then made up his mind not to speak, thinking that there was nothing the girl could do with him.
"It's okay, if you don't want to go, I'll take you with me, I'm worried that you won't be able to keep up with me if you walk too slowly!" the girl snorted, and reached out to grab him.
Chen Mingye was startled, but seeing that the girl did not use the blade, there should be no malicious intent, so he sat down and waited to see what the girl was going to do.
"Hee-hee, you're careless, oh bearded!" the girl smirked, her voice as crisp as a yellow bird, but her actions were terrifying.
I saw that she used both hands to lift him up.
