Volume 1 Mandate of Heaven Chapter 12 The Down-and-Out Son (Luo Yuncheng)
At this time, five or six days have passed since Dongfang Xue left home.
The scorching sun is like fire in the sky, and the doubtful life that bakes the earth. In a mountain stream, the stream is babbling and unclean, and a teenager is playing in the water.
The young man looks handsome and delicate, if there is a poet here at this time, seeing this situation, he will definitely obscene a poem of hibiscus out of the water, but at that time, I don't know what Dongfang Xue will think in his heart......
The boy is Dongfang Xue, but he didn't expect to be a handsome boy when he left home, and at this time, he ......
Dongfang Xue looked at the coarse cloth tattered clothes that she had taken off on the big stone next to the water, and at this time she was like asking for food......
Just two days after leaving home, when passing through a mountain, I met a robber, originally the robber saw that Dongfang Xue was a child who had not yet reached the crown and planned to let it go, but unexpectedly, the robber's subordinates saw that Dongfang Xue was dressed gorgeously, and finally instigated the robber to rob Dongfang Xue, not to mention any luggage and horses when the clothes were robbed, and that ring was still in Dongfang Xue's mouth when the robbers were not paying attention, so it did not fall into the hands of the thieves.
The water surface is like a mirror, Dongfang Xue looked at herself in the mirror, and could only sigh secretly and mock herself......
Dongfang Xue will never forget the faces of the robbers at that time, a group of people looked at Dongfang Xue who was stripped naked, smacked his lips, and drove Dongfang Xue away with laughter. If it weren't too embarrassing, Dongfang Xue planned to go back to Dongfang's house to call someone to teach this group of robbers a lesson, but when she remembered that she didn't even have a fig leaf at that time, she could only rush naked in the end.
It's not bad, finally when passing through a small village, Dongfang Xue met a kind person, an old man took out his outdated child's clothes, gave Dongfang Xue two pieces, and made a meal for Dongfang Xue.
Dongfang Xue came up from the water, put on her clothes, looked at this unsuitable but difficult clothes, and thought in her heart, when she returned home in the future, she would definitely come here again to find that wave of robbers, and let them taste the power of the master, and thank the old man.
"I heard my uncle say, there is Luoyun City ahead, the largest city within a radius of dozens of miles, I don't have to wrap up my luggage at this time, I have to find a way to get Luoyun City and then hurry......" Dongfang Xue said to herself.
Dongfang Xue shuttled through the woods and fields, it was already past noon at this time, and he had to rush to Luoyun City before the city closed before dark, Dongfang Xue unconsciously accelerated his pace.
As she walked, Dongfang Xue heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, Dongfang Xue stopped and looked behind, only to see a pair of men who looked like guards guarding this carriage coming, and it should also be heading towards Luoyun City.
When the carriage passed in front of Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Xue rushed forward and asked:
"Big brother, I wonder how far Luo Yuncheng is from here?"
The man who was riding a horse looked at the little boy in front of him, his face was puzzled, and a guard in front of him replied to Dongfang Xue: "Luoyun City is still more than ten miles away from here, and there will definitely be robbers and bandits during this period, how can you be alone as a teenager?"
More than ten miles...... Dongfang Xue saw that the sun in the sky was already crumbling, so she secretly thought to herself, even if it was dark, she would not stop for a moment during the rush, and she might not be able to catch it......
Dongfang Xue raised her head and continued: "Big brother, I want to go to Luoyun City to find elders, but I met robbers and bandits on the way, and finally met a kind old man, so he gave me a piece of clothing to cover my shame, at this time it will be late, I don't know if a few big brothers can give me a ride! The junior will definitely be grateful in the future!"
A guard who walked in front looked at Dongfang Xue from top to bottom, and then said, "You wait a little, we can't be the master, let me ask my young lady!"
After speaking, the guard rode to the rear carriage and said a few words to the carriage, and then the guard returned and said to Dongfang Xue: "Miss agreed, she asked you to get into the carriage." ”
"Thank you, big brothers!" Dongfang Xue heard that the other party agreed to give her a ride, and immediately thanked her happily.
"Boy, I can warn you, it's okay to get into the carriage, but don't hurt our young lady! Otherwise, you kid will suffer!" the head of the guard warned Dongfang Xue viciously.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Dongfang Xue hurriedly responded.
Dongfang Xue walked into the carriage, and the people began to hurry.
Dongfang Xue originally thought that the young lady in the guard's mouth should be similar to her mother, and she had to be eighteen or nineteen years old at worst, but what Dongfang Xue didn't expect was that there was a little girl younger than herself sitting in the carriage......
The little girl was still sensible, she covered her mouth and smiled when she saw Dongfang Xue coming in stunned, then moved to the left and patted the seat with her little hand and said, "Big brother, don't be restrained, sit here!"
Dongfang Xue could only smile and sit in.
"Where is the eldest brother from, and who are you looking for in Luoyun City this time?" asked Dongfang Xue with her big eyes.
"I'm from Dongyang City, and I'm going to look for my distant uncle this time," Dongfang Xue replied to the little girl, and then continued: "Because it's been a long time, I just don't know if his old man is still in Luoyun City......"
"Dongyang City is a big city! I want to come to the East Lord to resist the invasion of the East countries, and I also live in Dongyang City at this time, I don't know if the big brother has seen the East King yet?" the little girl asked Dongfang Xue with a smile.
Dongfang Xue heard the little girl ask about her father, and after a moment of stunned, when she saw the little girl's eyes, she relaxed: "I haven't seen it, he is an old man, busy with political affairs all day long, where can I have the opportunity to see his old man!"
After listening to Dongfang Xue's words, the little girl nodded, and after a while, she raised her head and asked Dongfang Xue: "Big brother, I don't know what your name is?"
Dongfang Xue had long expected that the young lady would ask for her name, so she thought about how to answer before getting into the carriage, Dongfang Xue said to the little girl: "My surname is Dugu, and my single name is a snow, Xuehua's snow!" Since his father asked Dongfang Xue to go secretly before leaving, it is better not to disclose his real name, so he simply changed his motherhood.
"The surname Dugu is rare...... the little girl raised her head when she heard Dongfang Xue's words, thought for a while, and then turned her head to look at Dongfang Xue, and then asked, "But the name of the eldest brother is a bit like a girl...... Haha"
Dongfang Xue showed helplessness when she heard the girl's words, and when she saw the girl's innocent smile, Dongfang Xue also grinned.
Looking at the little girl in front of her somehow, Dongfang Xue remembered Nangong Yu who was far away in Nangong's house, is she okay? I don't know if she left Dongfang's house at this moment, and Jiang Yue, did she get home safely...... Thinking about it, Dongfang Xue suddenly discovered, how could I think of Jiang Yue? However, looking at Jiang Yue's appearance, when Jiang Yue grows up, she must also be in the posture of captivating the country and the city......
"Big brother...... Big brother ......" looked at Dongfang Xue and looked out the window in a daze, and the little girl woke up Dongfang Xue.
"What is the big brother thinking?" asked the little girl.
"Oh, no" Dongfang Xue smiled, and then said: "I'm a little homesick, I miss my family and friends......"
"Oh......"
Dongfang Xue suddenly remembered something after speaking, and asked the little girl: "By the way, I don't know what your name is?"
"My name is Huangfu Yanran! After the little girl finished speaking, she saw Dongfang Xue's tears of surprise.
"Who are your parents?" asked Dongfang Xue.
"No, big brother, it's just an accident, my family is just a small family in Luoyun City......" Huangfu replied to Dongfang Xue with a smile.
"Oh!" Dongfang Xue put away the surprise on her face.
The two talked and laughed all the way, and before they knew it, night had already fallen.
I don't know how long I walked, Dongfang Xue pulled up the curtains on the carriage, looked at the already dark sky outside the carriage, then lowered the curtains, and said to Huangfu Yanran: "Thank you Sister Yanran this time! If you hadn't agreed to give me a ride, I might have to sleep in this wilderness tonight......
"No thanks, just a gesture. Huangfu replied to Dongfang Xue with a smile.
The carriage was still staggering, Dongfang Xue had been on the road for a day, and was a little tired at this time, just when he wanted to find something to talk to Huangfu Yanran and then refresh, suddenly a heavy object fell on Dongfang Xue's shoulder, Dongfang Xue woke up instantly, turned his head and found that Huangfu Yanran had fallen asleep at some point...... Looking at the sleeping Huangfu Yanran, Dongfang Xue suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, is it Nangong Yu or ......
This time in Luoyun City, not only do you need to prepare some silver two plates, but you also have to buy a fast horse and then set off. But, where should I rest tonight...... Dongfang Xue pondered.
Just as Dongfang Xue was thinking, the carriage stopped, and then the voice of a guard was heard.
"Miss, it's home!"
Hearing the voice of the guard, Huangfu Yanran slowly woke up, and when she saw that she was leaning on Dongfang Xue and fell asleep, she suddenly blushed and climbed up her cheeks, and found that Dongfang Xue's clothes still had her own saliva, at this time Huangfu Yanran was so ashamed that she was ashamed, but she didn't dare to expose her voice, so she said to the guard: "Got it." ”
After Huangfu Yanran finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Dongfang Xue and lowered her head and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry! Big brother, I fell asleep unconsciously for some reason...... As she spoke, Huangfu Yanran's voice became lower and lower......
"It's okay, I should thank you!" Dongfang Xue said with a smile.
After saying that, Dongfang Xue got out of the carriage, and Huangfu Yanran also came out after Dongfang Xue, only to see that at this time he came to the door of a big mansion, and there was a person answering at the door.
Dongfang Xue hugged her fists and bent down at the guards and said, "Thank you, big brothers, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely thank you again!"
After finishing speaking, Dongfang Xue turned to look at Huangfu Yanran again, only to see that the blush on Huangfu Yanran's face had not faded at this moment, and Dongfang Xue hugged her fists and bent over at Huangfu Yanran again.
Dongfang Xue turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Huangfu Yanran.
"Big brother, there are a few taels of silver here, you take it first" Huangfu Yanran stepped forward, took Dongfang Xue's hand, and handed Dongfang Xue two pieces of broken silver.
"Your luggage has been plundered by bandits, and it is getting late, so you should take these silver taels and find an inn to rest for the night, wash the dust, and then go to find your uncle tomorrow." Huangfu Yanran said to Dongfang Xue.
Dongfang Xue looked at the broken silver in her hand, and there was a warm current in her body for a while, and she didn't know how to answer Huangfu Yanran.
"If you can't find your uncle, the eldest brother can come to my house first, my house is big, and then the elder brother can chat with Yanran every day. Huangfu Yanran said to Dongfang Xue with big eyes.
Dongfang Xue has grown so big since she was a child, only her father's dinner made Dongfang Xue feel this way, and there was the little girl in front of her, Dongfang Xue nodded at the little girl, smiled, turned around and disappeared into the darkness......
