Chapter 37: Bathing and grooming
When he came to the street, Chu Ping inquired about Shui Lingyu's whereabouts, and every time he stopped someone, he asked him the same question: "Have you seen a girl with a pair of big watery eyes, a delicate appearance, and a very beautiful girl, probably so tall, wearing a white lotus skirt, a beaded jade necklace around her neck, and an emerald green bamboo hairpin on her head." ”
asked a lot of people, and they all said that they had never seen it, Chu Ping was very anxious, but he was still not discouraged, and continued to inquire in Sixiali.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and finally, Chu Ping got an answer from a guard at the south gate, and Shui Lingyu went out of the south gate early in the morning and walked south. Chu Ping thanked him and chased after him like a fly.
After chasing for more than ten miles, and finally found Shui Lingyu's figure, Chu Ping quickened his pace and chased after her, held her shoulders with both hands, and said: "Lingyu, how can you be so ruthless? Didn't you say that you have always wanted to stay by my side? Why are you leaving me ruthlessly now? Why are you doing this?" Emotional, it was really difficult to suppress herself, and he hugged her tightly into his arms, and tears kept pouring out.
Shui Lingyu couldn't help but hug Chu Ping, and choked up: "I'm sorry, Brother Chu Ping, I can't bear to leave you, but I can't help it, I'm afraid I'll affect you." ”
Chu Ping said in a trembling voice: "No, Lingyu, you won't affect me." Okay, let me tell you, my life is harder than yours, and even thunder can't kill me when I was a child, do you say that my life is hard? Okay, Lingyu, stop making trouble, go back with me, okay?"
Shui Lingyu nodded excitedly, and choked up: "Well, Brother Chu Ping, I'll go back with you." ”
Back in town, the two went to a restaurant for lunch, which would be cleared and continue on their way.
After walking for a few miles, the two came to a small stream, Shui Lingyu smiled sweetly at Chu Ping, and said: "Brother Chu Ping, you see that the weather is still so hot, and I have been driving for a long time, which makes me sweat all over my body, which is really uncomfortable, so I ......"
"So what's the matter?" asked Chu Ping.
Shui Lingyu's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "I, I want to take a bath here, is it okay?"
"What?" Chu Ping was taken aback and said, "Lingyu, you actually want to take a bath here?" Lingyu, don't you mess around, okay? In this wilderness, what kind of bath are you taking in you, you are not afraid of being seen!"
Shui Lingyu held his hand and begged bitterly: "Alas, Brother Chu Ping, will you let me wash it, okay? Besides, there are only two of us here, who will see it!"
"No, no, absolutely not!" Chu Ping waved his hand repeatedly.
"Okay, then I'm not leaving, see what you can do with me?" said, squatting down, turning his back to Chu Ping, holding his chin in his hand, pouting his little mouth, and actually playing a little trick.
Seeing her like this, Chu Ping felt helpless, stomped his feet, and had to respond: "Okay...... , I promise you that you can do it, I really can't do anything about you. But you have to wash it quickly, I, I'll go over there and wind it for you. ”
"Thank you, Brother Chu Ping!" Shui Lingyu smiled happily and said to herself, "Hmph! I knew that Brother Chu Ping would definitely agree to me." ”
When he came to the stream, he looked back at Chu Ping in the distance, and saw that he was always facing away from him, so he couldn't help but smile playfully. looked up at the scorching Jiaoyang, which was very dazzling. didn't think much about it, I saw her slowly untie her belt, the seductive jade body gradually revealed, her clothes slipped to the ground, Shui Lingyu carefully walked down the stream, letting the clear stream gradually spread over her body, a trace of coolness came to her, and she felt both cool and comfortable. Shui Lingyu lifted the stream onto her delicate jade arm and let it slide freely......
Chu Ping stood aside and kept muttering, "This girl is too nonsense." If I don't agree to her, I just know that I am playing with me, cough! I really can't do anything about her!" I thought about it again, and said with a smile: "But then again, if she doesn't play with me, who should she play to? Who will teach me to like her? Ahem! It's really self-inflicted!"
Suddenly, hearing the sound of Shui Lingyu shouting for help from the side of the stream, Chu Ping couldn't help but be startled, and quickly ran towards the stream. When I came to the stream, I saw layers of ripples on the water, but I couldn't find any trace of Shui Lingyu. Chu Ping panicked, and hurriedly ran into the water to look for Shui Lingyu, and while searching, he shouted: "Lingyu, where are you? Lingyu, what's wrong with you, Ling......yu?"
Suddenly, I saw Shui Lingyu emerge from the water, looked at Chu Ping, and smiled mischievously: "Brother Chu Ping, is it fun?"
Chu Ping screamed, hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, and shouted, "Lingyu, you...... You hurry up and get dressed. ”
Shui Lingyu smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Chu Ping, you take your hand away, it's okay." ”
Chu Ping slowly moved his hand away, and saw that Shui Lingyu only exposed her head and shoulders outside the water, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "I didn't say you, Lingyu, you, what do you want to do? You are too nonsense, do you know that you almost scared me to death just now, I thought you were ......?"
"You still think I'm drowning, don't you? Don't worry, Brother Chu Ping, my water is very good, and I won't drown so easily. Shui Lingyu said with a smile.
Chu Ping said helplessly: "Okay! I won't accompany you to mess around, you hurry up, hurry up and finish washing and go ashore, we have to hurry up!"
"Hey, got it, Brother Chu Ping. Shui Lingyu responded and continued to play in the water.
After a while, Shui Lingyu finished taking a bath, came to the shore, took out a new dress from the baggage and changed it, came behind Chu Ping, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Chu Ping, I have already washed it!
Chu Ping turned around, glanced at Shui Lingyu, and couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that she was wearing a light white lotus gauze skirt, with white and tender fragrant shoulders slightly exposed, and snow-like skin, which complemented the gauze skirt perfectly, revealing a fair-skinned and delicate straight jade neck, pure and beautiful, shy and lovely, a human fairy who came out of the brocade painting.
Seeing Chu Ping standing there motionless, staring at himself with his eyes, Shui Lingyu couldn't help but feel a little shy, stretched out his jade hand, shook it lightly in front of his eyes, and said softly: "Brother Chu Ping, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Ping came back to his senses at this time, and whispered with a little shame: "Oh! No, it's nothing! Lingyu, you, have you washed it?"
"Ah!" Shui Lingyu replied softly: "I've already finished washing!Brother Chu Ping, can you help me comb my hair?"
"What?" Chu Ping was stunned and said, "Lingyu, you...... You taught me to comb your hair?
Shui Lingyu smiled: "That's right! Your hands are used to dance and make swords, how can you comb the girl's hair? Okay, I'll do it myself!" Looking at Shui Lingyu's dressing appearance, Chu Ping's heart was really enjoyable:
I saw her sitting on the bluestone, her black and bright hair spread out, setting off her tender white skin as white as snow, making it even more attractive. Looking behind me, I saw the beautiful beauty in the bronze mirror, extremely beautiful, with her eyebrows swiping, even if she didn't apply powder, she was still so delicate and lovely, and her pale red cheeks revealed a bit of pure playfulness. I saw that her hair was as black as satin, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were like stars, her lips were as red as fire, her cheeks were crimson, and she had an indescribable posture of captivating the country and the city!
Shui Lingyu saw her beloved Brother Chu Ping through the bronze mirror, and she kept standing behind her and watching, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, deliberately revealing a little coquettishness. I saw her smiling and pursing her lips, smiling lightly like a spring mountain, like a delicate willow, with her delicate and delicate jade hands, pulling her long hair lightly, opening her cherry mouth slightly, smiling in her eyes, holding a bamboo hairpin, inserting her black hair like a cloud, two strands of green silk swaying on both sides of the jade-like face, the appearance is very pure and lovely. Picking up a box of rouge, tapping the red lips, lightly sipping the cherry blossoms, skillfully applying powder, smiling, and suddenly, a stunning beauty who is charming and captivating the country and the city was quietly born.
Not long after the time passed, Shui Lingyu finished dressing up, everything was cleaned up, she got up slowly, turned around, spread her jade arms, hugged Chu Ping's neck, smiled at him, and said, "Brother Chu Ping, I'm done taking a bath now, and my hair is combed, let's continue to hurry!"
Chu Ping didn't say anything, just stretched out his arms, hugged Shui Lingyu's slender waist, and looked at her intently, looking at Shui Lingyu felt embarrassed, gradually, two red clouds quietly floated by the cheeks, Shui Lingyu smiled shyly, and said softly: "Brother Chu Ping, you ...... Why do you keep looking at people like this? People are a little embarrassed. ”
"Oh, nothing! I, I like to look at you like that. As he spoke, he couldn't help but step forward, kissed Shui Lingyu's forehead, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, Lingyu, let's hurry!"
"Okay!" the two of them clasped their wrists, talking and laughing, and marched in the original direction.
Along the way, traveling in the mountains and rivers, staying overnight, hungry and thirsty, Chu Ping no longer felt lonely.
Saying that on this day, the two of them were walking on the official road, and suddenly heard the sound of "clanging" fighting in front of them, Chu Ping couldn't help but feel a little shocked, and said to Shui Lingyu: "It seems that something must have happened in front, why don't we go and find out, maybe, someone is waiting for us to help!"
Shui Lingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I know that Brother Chu Ping is the most willing to help others." The two came hand in hand, only to find that it was a group of caravans robbed by a group of bandits, only to see the car fell on the side of the road, the silk, gold and silver on the car, scattered all over the ground, the escort of the people lying on the ground, and there was also an old man over half a hundred years old, holding an old woman who was unconscious due to injury, hiding behind the car and shivering. The most eye-catching is a young man who is fighting alone with more than 30 bandits!
Chu Ping fixed his eyes and saw that he also knew him, and exclaimed: "Oh! It turned out to be Brother Zhao! Not good! He was alone against more than 30 people, and he would definitely suffer a loss." Lingyu, you stand here and don't move, I'll step forward to help Brother Zhao. "Draw your sword in your hand, leap forward, and fight with the thieves.
Zhao Shuo was pleasantly surprised when he saw Chu Ping coming, and said with a smile: "Great, I didn't expect Brother Chu to come to help in the battle, in this way, it is more certain to kill the group of thieves." ”
Chu Ping smiled and said: "That's good! Today, you and I join forces to kill the thief, but it's also happy, let's teach this gang of thieves a good lesson, kill people and steal goods, so that they can know that there is justice in the world!"
"Okay! Well said!" Zhao Shuo said with a smile.
The two heroes teamed up to kill the thieves, and the group of thieves was difficult to resist, and they were killed in a daze, crying for their father and mother, and there was no room to fight back. The work was not large, except for two who survived and staggered away, and the rest of the thieves had already died. Zhao Shuo wanted to chase after him with a sword, but was stopped by Chu Ping, and said: "Okay, Brother Zhao, let these two go! After this battle, forgive them for not daring to do anything wrong in the future." ”
Seeing that the thieves had been ambushed, Shui Lingyu ran forward excitedly and said with a smile: "Great, these thieves have finally received the retribution they deserve." Brother Chu Ping, it was so exciting for the two of you to join forces just now, so many people couldn't beat the two of you, you two are really amazing!"
Chu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, Lingyu, you don't have to compliment us so much. Come, let me introduce you, this is the big hero I mentioned to you last time, Brother Zhao Shuo. ”
Shui Lingyu saluted Zhao Shuo and said, "Brother Zhao, thank you for your righteous action last time and saved me and Brother Chu Ping, Lingyu and I, thank you." ”
Zhao Shuo also saluted: "Why is Miss Lingyu so polite? People in the rivers and lakes are in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, since I have met, I should come to the rescue, and Miss Lingyu does not have to be so polite." ”
Chu Ping said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you saved the lives of the two of us, and I should wait for a bow, so there is no need to be formal." Brother Zhao, now that this matter is over, Lingyu and I will leave first! Lingyu, let's go!"
Shui Lingyu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!" Brother Zhao, goodbye!"
Zhao Shuo responded: "Goodbye!"
The two were about to leave, but unexpectedly, the old man suddenly stopped the two, looked at Shui Lingyu intently, looked up and down, and said excitedly: "Lingyu, you are Lingyu, you are really Lingyu! Lingyu, I didn't expect to see you here." Lingyu, how have you been doing all these years?"
Shui Lingyu looked at the person in front of her carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned: "It's you, how could it be you?"
Seeing this, Chu Ping and Zhao Shuo were like the second monk was confused, and they didn't know what was going on. Chu Ping asked suspiciously, "Lingyu, what is going on? ”
I don't know who this person is?
