dumb ashamed

I stared blankly at the child for a long time before realizing that I was in the carriage. He handed me a wet towel and soaked poplar branches, and said, "How did you sleep?"

I:"……"

Seeing my expression, the child smiled, and handed something over: "Miss Yuan asked me to bring it to you."

I took it, touched my forehead, and the memory of last night came back slowly, with the letter from the little girl in my hand.

"Miss Yuan is honest, she treats you as a friend, and in order not to cause trouble for you, she asked me to go around and see you off," the child explained.

I put away the letter in the book and wrote on the wooden board pushed by the child: What trouble, why midnight.

The child smiled and said innocently, "I don't know."

...You don't look like that, dear, I scratched my hair, I don't know why, but since the child doesn't look worried, it shouldn't be a big deal.

"We have to bypass Subo, go to Bo County, Qingpin, Jingzhou, and then return to Yongmiao," the child opened the curtain, and the unknown grass half a person's height could not be seen on the side of the road, "It will take about half a month or so." arrive."

I forced a smile, my heart was empty, the little girl wrote in the letter that she decided to marry Zong Haochu, thank me for playing with her these days.I thought of the starlight fluorescence that was almost indistinguishable last night, scattered all over the sky in fine pieces, and the wind passed over the grass, and there was a shimmering feeling. In fact, it was not that I didn't feel her decision, but I didn't expect to be so caught off guard.

"Xu Qing," the child said, "you don't have to be so disappointed. Although we have finished talking, it is not difficult if you still want to meet, or... are you to Miss Yuan?"

"?" I was stunned for a moment to understand, and suddenly I was filled with inexplicable aggrievedness, and stared at her for a long time before writing: No, sister.Holding the charcoal pencil, I hesitated for a while, and then wrote: You five already knew it.

The child smiled and nodded but didn't answer my question. Instead, he reached out and groped under the cross seat and took out a food box, took out a stick, and put the contents on the small table one by one: "We have to go to town at night. Just make do with it.”

I stretched aggrievedly in the carriage, and crawled over to pick up food.

There were hollow windows on three sides in the carriage, and the gauze curtains were fluttering. It was too hot at noon, so we found a grove to rest. Only then did I find that there was still a driver. After getting out of the carriage, the child told him a few words It's gone.

In ancient times, such small forests seemed to be seen everywhere, backed by mountains and rivers, everything was a little bit small, safe and comfortable, I was caught by a child within a short distance, and he carried me back to the place where the carriage was parked. After a while, the driver has already set up the pot.I was bored and leaned against the tree in a daze,

Riding a horse-drawn carriage feels very similar to a long-distance train. I slept for a day with nothing to do, but I felt uncomfortable. With sore muscles, I followed the child upstairs, lamenting in my heart that in this damn off-season, it’s okay if there is no big bed room, and there is no QAQ for the standard room.

It took him three days to enter Bo County. Although his name has the word county in it, he can be regarded as a big city.The driver couldn't take us with him because he had other things to do. The child wanted to rent a pony carriage, and I couldn't control my limbs after being bumped by the carriage. He suggested that we simply settle down in Bo County and rest for two days before leaving. I was happy to rest. He readily agreed to delay the journey.

The inn already has some people from the rivers and lakes, the lobby is noisy, mixed with the sound of metal clashing, the child pulled me to sit in the corner, and said in a low voice: "The people who arrived so early are mostly small sects or people with other plans. "He said, took a plate from the second hand and put it in front of me, "Try it, his drunken ribs are very good, it's a good day."

He changed the topic too quickly, I poked a piece of ribs with my hand before I could react, and while watching the crowd, wondering if there would be trouble, I wanted to watch the excitement, um, the ribs are delicious.

I was sucking the marinade on the ribs in my mouth, when suddenly my eyes lit up: a man stood up in the crowd. I saw that the big man was nine feet tall, with dark skin, holding a nine-ringed gold-backed machete in his hand, and his clothes could be seen clearly. under the majestic muscles.In a word: looking for trouble cannon fodder.I barely restrained my excitement and looked at him affectionately.

With wind and eyes all the way, the man stood still, slapped our table, and shouted: "Why are you staring at your grandpa?!"

"..." I was so grateful that I couldn't speak, I stopped my "look at you" movement, and looked back at the child silently, feeling crazy inside, why the hell!I just want to watch the fun, and don't want to be watched! Ah Xi!

The child leaned back with his arms folded and smiled innocently.I looked at him in disbelief, and the angry voice of the man over there sounded again: "Can't NND little bastard see me?!"

I raised my head and looked at him indifferently, feeling guilty. After three seconds, I still grabbed the child's hand and tried to throw him in front of the big man for safety, but the child seemed to understand my intention when I moved my hand, so he followed my strength. He got up, kept stepping, and pulled me into his arms, picked up the ribs, turned around and flew away.

——Request to read the file, and enter the branch line of [Wonderful Rivers and Lakes].

——I'm sorry, the player [Xu Qing] failed to read the file, young hero, please try harder.

I spat out the last bones, and was taken to the river by the child to wash my hands. He stretched out his hand and scratched my chin and joked, "If you're so unhappy, do you really want me to fight?"

==Damn it!After all, you have a small reputation, but you just ran away like this. You promised to be cruel, and you promised to wipe out the people... I suddenly stopped, horrified in my heart, and couldn't help covering my face with a wry smile. What's the matter? The chivalrous man was so frightened that Xu Qing, who had been hiding in the mountains for more than ten years, had such courage.

"Xu Qing? What's the matter?" The temperature of the child's palm on the shoulder penetrated through the thin summer clothes. I smiled and shook my head, signaling to go back to the inn. The child looked at me inscrutablely for two seconds before walking slowly: "Then He is the youngest son of the head of Luo Jiangtang, he has a bad temper but has a chivalrous heart, there is no need to make extra troubles, if you are really aggrieved, why don't you beat him up in a sack at night while he is alone?"

I endured it and still grinned, maybe it wasn’t me being too weird, it’s just that I always feel at ease when the child is by my side, it’s amazing, obviously so much younger than me.I grabbed her hand and said, "Little son...

The child lowered his head and picked the weeping willow away, grabbed my wrist and pulled me up to the embankment. He said with a casual smile, "Well, my son, there are two older sisters and two older brothers. He is the youngest and is very favored."

The majestic and majestic figure of the man grabbed the hem of his clothes and acted like a baby to his sister... How the hell did orz spoil him.We walked away from the water and walked into the market. The children were afraid that I would not be full, so they packed a few pastries and brought them. The local specialty caviar dumplings is simply heresy. It is sweet and salty, very weird, but it is still delicious if you eat more. .

Although there were some people with weapons on the street, the atmosphere was good. The child always half-protected me behind me, which made me feel very comfortable, but I didn't expect such calm. I freed up a hand The child scratched his back: Why didn't anyone fight.

The child was silent, stretched out his hand to hook my shoulder and pushed me forward, he said helplessly: "It's just a little bit of self-defense, do you think that people in the Jianghu will pick up troubles and fight every day?"

"In the end, they are just ordinary people," the child let go, and took a quick step to walk side by side with me. "Even some scum have been taught a lesson." He paused, with a tone of reminiscence, "I remember 11 years Let’s go, there was a flower picker who killed the husbands of many beautiful women in the name of being a chivalrous man, he was quite skillful, but in the end it was...Xu Qing, what’s wrong?”

I looked at him, feeling a very strange feeling in my heart, and said: Then.

The child also looked at me with a solemn expression: "Less than ten days after he committed the crime in Yongmiao Town, he was tied up and thrown in front of Jingzhao Yin's mansion. After his identity was verified, he was immediately sentenced to death and beheaded for public display."

Sure enough, unexpectedly, when I closed my eyes, I seemed to be able to see those eyes that were dying, the blood all over the ground, and the tears on the woman's face.

What is this? Is this the truth and the ending of the year?

The child hugged me, patted my back, and called softly: "Xu Qing."

I took a deep breath and looked at him, his eyes were full of concern and a little tentative.I was so powerless that I couldn't even laugh, I just supported his shoulders and walked out of the alley.

This time, it was a standard room, but I was so upset that I didn’t have the energy to ponder those small thoughts. I rolled on the bed for a long time before I realized that the child was gone. I got out of bed, poured a glass of water and sat down. by the window.I was thinking just now if I hadn't been given such a big blow when I came here, what would I do now?Maybe she really married Xiaolin →_→.

I don't know how long the door slammed, and the child stepped into the room with a lot of things in his hands. When I saw him, he smiled: "I saw people from Yi Guzong's family on the street."

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that Zong Haochu, the head of Yigugu, the good organization, is the little girl's fiance. I opened my mouth and jumped to his side, but he pressed him on the chair, "Do you want to meet?" Hai'er was helpless, "Yi Gu didn't take part in these things very much, and the owner of the valley seldom appeared, but this time, firstly, there was a marriage contract, and secondly, it was because the former owner of the valley died at the hands of the Wuhong faction. I heard something, it's not good for you to see people at this time."

I didn't really want to see anything, it was just a moment of excitement. Hearing this, I sat upright and signaled that I would not run around. The child nodded in satisfaction, and pushed the things back: "I bought some story books, Take a look when you are bored on the road, these are some snacks, the carriage has been rented, and we will leave tomorrow."

I took the little book and flipped through it, and suddenly realized that I was going to say goodbye to this legendary river and lake. After the children sent me home, they probably wouldn’t chat with me. Little girl, the Yuanjiabao people would not see each other again. , There was a subtle sense of loss in my heart, no matter, in the end, I still eat and wait for death. Eat and drink are good for me.

I had a feeling in my heart, I just ate some supper and then collapsed on the bed, I had nothing to say all night, probably.
