The prince is thinking of escaping marriage every day

"Haha, how did you fall into the pigsty? You must be too naughty." After listening to Gu Shibai's words, Yang Youyun smiled lightly, poked the foreheads of the two children lightly, and turned her head to see the basin of cold water pouring towards Mu Qianli said: "In such a cold day, if you rub your body with cold water, you will definitely get sick. Why don't you just take a bath with hot water? It's almost Chinese New Year, so it's better to wash clean."

"But I saw that the soldiers outside used cold water to wipe their bodies." Mu Qianli asked puzzled, he often saw those soldiers who were shirtless and wiped their bodies with cold water, but they didn't get sick.

"That's because they've been on the battlefield for a long time, and their rough skin and thick flesh are naturally not afraid of the cold, but you are a young prince with golden branches and jade leaves, and you have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't toss about like them." Yang You explained to Mu Qianli After that, he picked up the cold water basin and walked out, passed by Gu Shibai, and saw that he was covered with weeds, so he suggested: "I'll go to the kitchen to boil some hot water for a while, and you and Aqian, let's wash together."

Mu Qianli: "Huh?"

Gu Shibai: "Ah..."

"Ah what, I'm the only one with a bathtub in the camp, so what if you don't wash together?" Yang Youyun laughed amusedly at the reaction of the two children, joked, and left the tent with the basin in hand.

Now, only Gu Shibai and Mu Qianli were left looking at each other in the tent. Mu Qianli's eyes were slightly crossed, wishing to go back to the year when Gu Shibai was born and strangle Gu Shibai to death in the cradle. In this way, he now You won't fight for the bathtub with yourself.

Mu Qianli was sullen, but Gu Shibai didn't dare to provoke him, so he could only keep silent. The two of them were silent for a while, before Mu Qianli spoke angrily, "Wait a while, while I take a shower, you wait outside." , You can wash after I finish washing!"

"I think so too." Gu Shibai blinked, wondering: "But my mother doesn't necessarily think so..."

Sure enough, knowing mother Mo Ruozi, Yang Youyun prepared a bathtub and hot water in her room, and urged the two children into her tent, and watched the two of them take off their clothes and get into the bathtub at the same time before going out. , Let the two of them take a bath by themselves.

Regarding this, Mu Qianli could only say that it was his bad luck.No, it's not just today's bad luck. Ever since he came to this desert and met this scumbag named Gu Shibai, he has been very unlucky: first, his old injury recurred when he whipped the pillow, and then he was crushed in the pigsty It stinks all over.If he develops like this, he really doesn't know whether he will be found by his parents to return to Beijing first, or whether he will be sent to die as a guest by Gu Shibai first.

Turning his consciousness back to reality, he and Gu Shibai sat face to face in the tub, turned their heads away in embarrassment, and washed all parts of their bodies with water in an extremely unnatural way, trying to avoid looking at each other's body.

In fact, to be honest, both of them are boys, so there is really no need to be so cautious, but the two of them used to bathe separately, and they had never been in the same bathtub with outsiders. It feels like someone is watching you from the opposite side, and you can't feel at ease.

Therefore, the time for lying in the bath became longer and longer, until the water in the bucket was completely cold, Gu Shibai raised his head dryly and reminded: "Ah Qian, the water is cold."

"I know!" I don't know if it was soaked in warm water for too long, Mu Qianli's face looked a little reddish, and when he heard Gu Shibai's words, he let out a low growl in embarrassment.You can keep silent for a while with your head tilted, then suddenly stretch out a finger and point out the basin: "You go out first!"

"Oh, yes." Gu Shibai responded obediently, turned over and walked out of the bucket, then glanced at Mu Qianli inadvertently, seeing his embarrassed expression, he wished he could find a crack in the water and get in.

It's a pity that there is no seam in the water, so Mu Qianli could only show his embarrassment in front of Gu Shibai. After Gu Shibai got dressed and said "I'm going out", he relaxed a little, and after a long breathed a sigh of relief.

After resting in the bathtub for a long time, Mu Qianli slowly got up and turned out of the bathtub, picked up the clothes on the hanger and put them on.There's just one problem, from the time he caught a glimpse just now to finishing the belt, he didn't figure it out: Why is there such a big gap between them even though they are both seven years old?

After putting on his clothes, Mu Qianli was still inexplicably upset. He lingered around the hangers for a long time, thinking that he really didn't need to waste time on such trivial things. Anyway, he is still young now, and he will grow up in the future.

Thinking of this, Mu Qianli felt a lot more relieved. He picked up the coat on the hanger and was about to put it on, but suddenly, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly fumbled between the cuffs of his underwear. After fumbling for a while, there was nothing there. His eyes turned red, and he shouted to Gu Shibai outside the door: "Gu Shibai, have you seen my buttons?"

"Is it the one you hid in your cuff?" Gu Shibai walked in and asked.Mu Qianli had shown that button to him once, and it was said that Mu Qianli tore it from his mother's clothes when he was saying goodbye to his mother and concubine, and it was the only relic left to him by his mother.

"That's the one." Mu Qianli said firmly, the corners of his anxious eyes were slightly red, and his tone trembled: "That's the last thing my mother left me, I..."

"Don't worry." Gu Shibai searched around the hanger unsuccessfully, turned around and walked in front of Mu Qianli, helping him to calm down, "Think about it first, when was the last time you saw that button?"

"I..." Mu Qianli opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, but still had no idea, and shook his head angrily: "I don't know!"

"Think about it, was it still there when you took off your clothes in the shower?"

"I..." After Gu Shibai said this, Mu Qianli just remembered that the button had disappeared when he took off his clothes just now, so if the button is not in this room, where could it be?He calmed down and tried to think about it, suddenly suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "I remember, I must have fallen into the pigsty when I fell down just now!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved away Gu Shibai who was standing in front of him, and ran towards the pigsty. At that time, the sky had already darkened, Gu Shibai accompanied Mu Qianli to the pig pen, and saw the thickly closed pig shed Even the last bit of light in the sky was blocked, and the shed was pitch black, and the fingers could hardly be seen, except for the "whirring" sound of the pig sleeping soundly in it.

"Did you bring a fire pocket?" Mu Qianli asked as he walked into the pigsty.

"I've brought it." Gu Shibai pulled out a fire pocket from his sleeve, and as soon as he lit it, Mu Qianli rushed to grab it and rummaged through the weeds on the ground.

A few small sparks fell from the torch and fell into the weeds. Gu Shibai saw it and reminded him worriedly: "Aqian, be careful, don't ignite the weeds."

"Oh no." The pig shed was airtight, and there was still a strong stench all around, so Mu Qianli didn't bother to talk to Gu Shibai, so he simply asked him to go out: "Okay, don't get in the way here, go out Watch people for me."

"Oh, okay." Gu Shibai pouted, and walked out obediently.

It was cold and windy outside, and Gu Shibai had just finished taking a bath, so he shivered twice in the cold wind. When he looked up, he saw that the surrounding sky had darkened, and the night fell like a curtain, enveloping him heavily and being swept by the wind. There is dust and sand, and looking around, it is dark, only the eyes are clear.And in this drowsiness that covers the sky and the earth, people standing in it seem more and more lonely.In particular, when a lost crow passed through the sky and uttered a cry, it made the dark desert even more terrifying.

The darkness should have been dark all the time, but suddenly there was a bright light behind Gu Shibai. Gu Shibai hurriedly turned his head, and saw a firework burning in the pig shed, spreading from the pile of weeds on the ground to the surroundings. opened, while Mu Qianli, who was in the firelight, still lowered his head, searching for the buttons intently.

"Ah Qian!" Gu Shibai yelled towards the pig shed, and Mu Qianli just happened to find his buttons at this moment, and before he had time to cheer and shout, he was frightened by the raging flames and took two steps back , the joy on his face turned into fear in an instant, and he looked at Gu Shibai outside the pig shed and shouted anxiously: "Gu Shibai, did you intend to murder?"
