Chapter 50: Summer Nights

The grass grows and the eagle flies and the horse's hooves are sick, and the sunset in the west mountain urges people to return.

The ignorant boy put the song down, and he was afraid of many jackals ahead.

Full of ambition and no worries, the world is at my disposal.

"I don't think we can make it to Luoshui Town today, we need to find a place to spend the night in front. Zhao Peng said as he drove the carriage. Two horses in the snow were churning over the horses' hooves, galloping on the soft and wet road, surrounded by flat fields.

Yun Xuan sat on another yellow-maned horse, which was obtained from the bandits of Dayao Mountain, just enough to practice his riding skills.

He looked behind him, the setting sun had disappeared under the mountain, the clouds on the horizon were still white, the earth was shrouded in a layer of darkness, and night was about to fall.

"It's just ahead, we're going to sleep out tonight. Yun Xuan said.

The four of them stopped on a flat field near the creek on the side of the road, set up a tent, and built a bonfire, a rich aroma came from the red carbon by the bonfire, Fang Mo and Zhao Peng were skewering fish caught in a stream, turning over the fire to roast.

On the road that Yun Xuan and the others had walked before, a black horse followed a white horse, and two people who looked like sons sat on the horse.

The man on the black horse looked more mature, dressed in gray, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a pale face, and a bun in his hair.

The person sitting on the white horse, wearing a green coat, wearing a scarf and hat on his head, his face is white and red, his nose is delicate, his eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, his eyes are clear and smart, and his facial features are clear and detailed, looking like a young man from a rich and noble family.

The two horses came to the side of the road and were looking at Yun Xuan and them.

"Tingfang, the environment here is very good, let's rest here. The young man on the white horse said, his voice crisp and pleasant.

Gongzi, who was called Tingfang, looked at Yunxuan and several people for a while, and said, "Childe, this place is not far from Dayao Mountain, and the identities of these people are unknown. Let's hurry to Luoshui Town, where there are more guards, and it will be safe. ā€

"My jade Linglong refuses to run, I'm tired too, I'll leave tomorrow!" the young man dismounted as he spoke, and threw the jade lion horse to the person named Tingfang.

Tingfang couldn't be stubborn, so he had to lead the horse and put it aside.

The young man approached, but he didn't speak, blindly looking at Yun Xuan and them.

Yun Xuan and the others had already paid attention when they saw someone stopping on the side of the road just now, and when they saw the young man walk in, they all stood up.

Yun Xuan saw that this young man was handsome and beautiful, with a weak face, and said, "Who are you?"

"I, I—" The young man stumbled, and didn't say the following words for a while.

"You are also passing by, come here to rest, right?" Yun Xuan asked.

"Childe, let's go sit over there. The person called Ting Fang came over and pointed to a place far away from Yunxuan and said.

The young man looked into the distance, then at Yun Xuan and them, and said, "It's lively here, I want to sit here." ā€

"Childe...", Ting Fang frowned slightly, and whispered, "Their identities are not clear. ā€

"I'll just sit here. As he spoke, the young man looked around, and when he saw a relatively clean place of sand and gravel next to him, he wanted to sit down.

Ting Fang hurriedly went over and pulled the young man and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and bring the mat." ā€

After saying that, Ting Fang went to the horse and fetched two cushions, as well as a water bladder and a package, and then moved two flat stones, and sat down with the young man near the campfire, and next to her lay a sword with a sword holster.

Yun Xuan looked at the two people sitting down, it seemed that this young man in green clothes was the master, and the other was the person who served. It's just that the person who serves is sword-eyed and heroic, and he is not like a slave who usually whispers and breathes.

He said to the young man in Tsing Yi: "My name is Liu Yunxuan. These are my friends. ā€

"I'm Ming..." the young man raised his bright eyes and just said a few words.

"My son-in-law's surname is Ming, so it's good if you call him Minggongzi. Ting Fang interrupted the young man's words, and said in a high voice.

The young man smiled at Yun Xuan.

"Is there anything wrong with Gongzi Liu?" asked Tingfang.

"Oh no, I just wanted to get to know each other. Yun Xuan said with a smile.

"My son-in-law and I want to have a quiet meeting, since Mr. Liu has nothing to do, please step down. Tingfang said.

Yun Xuan listened to the meaning of this gray-clothed man's words, obviously coldly refused, and his words were very arrogant, and he suddenly lost interest in making friends with them, and his face was not interested.

"That's how she tempered. The young man smiled at Yun Xuan again, slightly relieving the awkward atmosphere.

Yun Xuan smiled and sat down with Zhao Peng.

After a while, Zhao Peng said: "It's ripe, the sweet potato is ripe, open it quickly." ā€

Yun Xuan grabbed the wooden stick and opened the charcoal, and then removed a thin layer of soil under the carbon, revealing the sweet potatoes under the soil, a burst of white smoke rose up, and the aroma of sweet potatoes came.

Yun Xuan pressed the sweet potato, which was already very soft, and said, "Well, it's ripe." ā€

Under his manipulation, twelve sweet potatoes were lifted out of the soil and placed on the ground aside.

Lele hugged Xiaobai and squatted next to the sweet potato, swallowing his saliva: "Can you eat it?"

"Wait, wait for the cold. Fang Mo said: "When the fish is cooked, eat the fish first, and it won't taste good when it's cold." ā€

The four of them and Xiaobai ate two fish separately.

The young man who was sitting on the periphery moved his nose, smelled the aroma in the air, and looked at Ting Fang.

Ting Fang pursed his lips, took out a steamed bun and a bag of dried meat from the package, and handed them to the young man.

The young man didn't answer.

Tingfang said, "Childe, let's eat something too." ā€

"I'm tired of both, are there any others?" said the young man.

"No, that's all. You eat first, and then you can wait until you get to Luoshui Town. Tingfang said.

The young man looked at Yun Xuan and them, got up and walked over, came to the pile of sweet potatoes, and said, "What is this, it smells very good?"

"Sweet potato, haven't you eaten it?" Yun Xuan asked.

The boy shook his head.

"Then you're going to have to try it. Yun Xuan handed over a sweet potato.

The young man took the sweet potato and looked at it, it was still a little warm, he looked at Yun Xuan.

"Childe, you can't eat what others give. Ting Fang said on the side.

The young man pouted and ignored Tingfang.

Yun Xuan looked at Ting Fang and said, "Don't worry, it's delicious." ā€

Yun Xuan also picked up a sweet potato, broke it, and a stronger aroma spread through the air, he opened the skin and said, "This way you can eat it." ā€

He stuffed the sweet potato into his mouth and ate it.

Ting Fang saw Yun Xuan eating, stopped to stop it, and the young man followed Yun Xuan's example, broke the sweet potato, and ate it too, sweet and fragrant, tender.

"Delicious, right?" Yun Xuan asked.

"Hmm!" the young man nodded with a smile in his eyes as he swallowed the sweet potato.

"Tingfang, you eat too. The young man unceremoniously took a sweet potato and handed it to Ting Fang.

Tingfang paused at first, but finally received it, and he was tired of the food in his package. As soon as the two of them finished eating, they didn't stop.

By the time Yun Xuan and the others finished eating the fish, the two of them had already eaten four sweet potatoes each, and they felt full, so they looked at Yun Xuan and them.

Fang Lele and Zhao Peng were looking at them, and the two of them had eaten most of the main meal for the four of them.

Ting Fang saw Fang Lele and Zhao Peng looking at him, and then looked at the three sweet potatoes left on the ground, and suddenly his face turned a little red, and said, "I thought it was delicious for a while, so I didn't keep it." I still have some dry food in my package, so I should exchange it with you. ā€

After listening to Ting Fang's words, the young man suddenly came to his senses, and blinked awkwardly at the person in front of him.

Tingfang laid out the steamed buns and jerky in the package.

Yun Xuan and they were not polite, they ate on the spot, and they knew that the gray-clothed boy next to the young man was surnamed Gongsun Tingfang.

When the night breeze was cool and the moon was shining, Yun Xuan finished washing in the stream, and after taking a few steps back, he saw a figure under the moon in front of him, it was Tingfang, the gray-clothed boy beside Ming Gongzi, who was facing Yun Xuan sideways at this time.

"Tingfang, do you want to soak in the water too?" Yun Xuan asked.

Gongsun Tingfang hurriedly turned his back and said, "No." ā€

At this time, Tingfang's face was already flushed under the cover of the night, and he was really not used to being called Tingfang by a man, although he was still a little man.

And he didn't want to come here, but he really couldn't find a chance for Yun Xuan to be alone, knowing that Yun Xuan came to Xiaoxi alone, he found the opportunity to come over and wait.

"Then why are you here, looking at the scenery and feeling sad Mingyue?" Yun Xuan quipped.
