Chapter 82
Chapter 82
A breeze blows across the window sill.Murong Zhi sat in the shadow by the window, staring blankly at the green downstairs.Peacocks dragged their long tails and flew over the treetops, and a hundred birds came to look at them. It was a beautiful scenery that he had never seen in the snow-capped mountains. In this beautiful Chonghuazhe environment, it seemed more common than anything else.
Ye Pu took him to the village.This village is very large, with hundreds of families.All kinds of ingenious bamboo houses on hanging feet, with various birds, cats, and spirit foxes, outside the houses are drying a lot of fruits and crops that he has never seen before, pounding strange medicinal herbs, and wearing colorful grass clothes Mafu, singing songs he did not understand.
At night, a grand bonfire is set up.Men, women, old and young are singing and dancing, making him, a person who is used to quietness and white snow, so novel that he can't take his eyes off for a moment.
He once remembered that Xie Lu had told him many times that the country outside was very good.The lonely smoke in the desert, the fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the majestic mountains and rivers, and the lush trees.He said that one day, he would take him to see it.
But he never kept his promise.
And the person who let him see all this was the good boy who was always by his side quietly.
Regarding Ye Pu's feelings, Murongzhi heard him say it that day, but he still doesn't know how to deal with it.
Speaking of which, it is not very surprising.It's just that he couldn't figure out why a boy as good as Ye Pu would treat someone like him who is stupid, old-fashioned, and has no special skills...
Not to mention, he was much older than him.
Ye Pu's current age may not be as old as when Xie Lv left. Naturally, like Xie Lv back then, he has not seen the splendor of this world.
"Son, what are you thinking about? Hehe, are you wondering why the young master didn't come to see you so late today?"
The girl's lively voice rang in my ears.The little maid named Lingguo who was holding the clothes used to serve Ye Pu's sister. Ye Pu said she was clever, so he assigned her to serve Murong Zhi.
"Don't worry! Mr. Murong's side has always been the most important thing in our young master's heart! But, this morning, the young master is going to meet Huamiao's leader. The mountains are high and the road is far away, so we left the village early in the morning." I'm only coming back at night! Young Master, tell Ling Guo'er to take good care of Young Master. Look, Young Master, these are the best dried apricots and dates that Young Master left for you. Also, Young Master said that you like sugar cakes! Young Master, you look!"
On the small plate were six or seven small sugar cakes.This girl is so dexterous that she made them all the same size and put them neatly.Murong Zhi suddenly felt an eyesore at that moment.
The food he used to eat in the past was always made into strange shapes by someone, or one or two corners were burnt, never, never like this...
"It's the first time Ling Guo'er baked, I tasted one myself, and I think it's not bad. Young master, let's try Ling Guo'er's handicraft!"
Bite down, very sweet, very crisp, impeccable.
But it tastes completely different from what I used to eat.
The old ones are no longer available.
"Young master, is it not to your taste..."
"No, no."
His mouth was dry, but Murong Zhi swallowed the sugar cake.His eyes are heavy, but his heart is filled with smoldering fire, and he thinks that from now on, don't think about the taste before.
Forget about everything in the past.Why not forget? !
The man was dead and buried by others.Fortunately, Xie Lv is not a woman, otherwise, she might have erected a sign saying "Tomb of Concubine Ning" by the way.And what is his Murong paper?Is it just an insignificant passer-by in other people's lives, but you want to be affectionate for the rest of your life?
Why open your eyes every time, and always think about people you shouldn't think about.For that short-lived joy, ten years, or even the rest of my life, should I be immersed in pain and feel uneasy all day long?
What he treats me well, it is clear that others can also give it to me.
And I also want... I also want to taste a little bit of the sweetness of steadfastness.
I also want someone to pamper me, someone to love me, and someone to treat me sincerely.
I also want to no longer have to worry about it all day long, and I don’t have to guess whether the people around me are with me, whether they really like me, or they are lying to me again.
In fact, as long as I forget you, I can be happy, right?
Here, Yepu is very kind to me, Xiaoling Guoer is very kind to me, and everyone in this village is very kind to me. No one is afraid of me, even their cats and dogs are willing to get close to me.Although I still can’t speak their words, but I can already understand a few words, and Ye Pu and Ling Guo’er helped me act as middlemen to chat with them, so, so...
Xie Lu, why do I have to remember you?
It is you who bear me first.
Why should I... why should I never forget.
……
"Young master, look, this is the white fish that the young master brought from the aquarium yesterday, isn't it fat enough? My young master is so lucky, every time the young master goes out, he brings you good things back. What night do you want to call the young master?" Come in?"
"You, what are you talking about!"
Murong Zhi blushed, looking at Ling Guo with such a complexion in surprise.
In fact, apart from this girl, he had never seen any other women at all, but the books he had read had written about many things about the girl's family.Murongzhi knew that women were supposed to stay out of the house and never leave the house, so it was normal not to see her on weekdays.But didn't the book even say that women are so demure and shy, she, what did she just say?
"There's nothing you can't say," Ling Guoer said with a narrow smile, "This is Southern Border, so why not be afraid! No one will laugh at you."
"Your young master Ye Pu and I are just a teacher-student relationship,"
"Oh, it's enough to deceive others with these words. Why do you want to lie to Lingguo, young master! Our young master is not from the same clan. In the beginning, we only gained a firm foothold in the clan by relying on how difficult it was to diagnose and treat others. Now we are in charge of the affairs of the clan. , I was so busy day and night, but I never forgot my son no matter where I went, how much I think about you, all of us are watching!"
Murong Zhi's face suddenly became hot, and he panicked for a while, but suddenly felt that Ling Guo's words were different.
"Isn't it... from this tribe? Isn't Ye Pu originally from the Tu tribe?"
Ling Guo was turning to the window to collect her clothes, when she heard this, her body froze, and she turned her head and smiled.
"Master, you heard wrong! Linguo didn't say that."
"But you just..."
However, he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps rushing up the stairs outside, and only heard the little girl shouting outside: "Sister Ling Guoer, sister Ling Guoer!"
She speaks Tu language, but these days, Murong Zhi can already understand a little.Hearing what she said about Hua Miao, and what about girls, Ling Guoer's expression became even more flustered, and she told her that she must stop her, then turned around and said, "My lord, you, don't worry, you're fine", and then Hastily went downstairs.
Murong Zhi opened the windows high on the second floor.At the entrance of the village, people stopped a girl dressed as Miao nationality. The girl's voice was very sharp, and Murong Zhi heard clearly "Where is your young master Ye Pu?"
"Let him come out! That's a martial arts competition! If you beat me and refuse to marry me, where can I put my face on Miss Huayun?! I heard that he also raised a male vixen in the village? That vixen is here where?"
……
"Young master, actually... this matter is very difficult for the young master. Hua Miao's eldest lady somehow recognized the young master, and the patriarch Hua Miao and some elders in our clan also want to facilitate this marriage. After all, the Tu people are single. Li Bo, if he can marry Miss Huayun, he will immediately become the largest clan in southern Xinjiang, and when the young master wants to rule southern Xinjiang, he will not have to struggle like he is now."
"Unify... Southern Border?"
"Yes, the young master is ambitious. If we can unify the southern border, we will no longer be oppressed by the Daxia people. But no matter what, even if the young master marries Miss Huayun, the most important thing in his heart will always be you, my son. , that will certainly not change.”
"Ling Guoer, what are you talking nonsense about?"
Ye Pu's voice sounded behind him, and he looked tired and helpless: "Master, Ye Pu really didn't provoke that girl on purpose! There is no such thing as a martial arts contest to recruit a relative! It is clear that she forced me to make gestures with her." , pester me if you lose."
"She came to the village today to make trouble, and said that the young master is a vixen." Ling Guo glanced at Ye Pu.
Ye Pu smiled, sat next to Murong Zhi, and grabbed his hand: "Master, don't worry, I will guarantee that that person will never come here again!"
"But Miss Huayun's temper..." Ling Guo said weakly, "I'm afraid I can't follow the young master."
"If I tell her not to come, she won't come again! I have so many ways, you can't trust me?"
"Lingguo doesn't dare! It's just that the young master must think twice, we Tu people can't afford to offend Hua Miao. If we offend Miss Huayun, then the one who will suffer..."
"Ling Guoer, it's okay, you can go out."
The girl's face was slightly worried, she bowed her body and obediently left.Murong Zhi is not a fool, he turned his head and saw Ye Pu frowned in fatigue, and was about to say something, but the child preempted him.
"Master, please trust me. This kind of thing will never happen again, and I will never let anyone hurt you."
"Ye Pu said to protect the master, so naturally he will do what he says. Please remember, master, only I, no matter what happens, will keep my promise and will never lie to you."
Although Ye Pu is young, his eyes have been as elusive as the bright moon since a long time ago.Being watched by him, Murong Zhi felt a little flustered, Wuwei Chen Zajian was still unable to open his mouth to ask the sporadic doubts buried deep in his heart.
Not the Tu people, and... want to unify southern Xinjiang?I've never heard you say that.
Now, it is the end of autumn.The four seasons in southern Xinjiang are like spring, so it is difficult to tell the difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter, so Murongzhi finally figured out this matter after learning more about the Tu nationality's gloomy face.
I remember that when I left Tingxue Palace, it was only early summer.In other words, when he came to Miaojiang, Ye Pu said that he only slept for more than ten days, but in fact he slept through the whole hot summer in a daze.
During those days, where was he, and where was Ye Pu?What have you done?Why was it never mentioned?
But Ye Pu really cared about him.Knowing the cold and hot all the time, caring for every detail, always bringing him all kinds of wonderful gadgets every time he goes out, and looking at him with eyes that are always hesitant to speak, as gentle as water.
Perhaps, he has some unspeakable difficulties.
It must be so.Ye Pu is different from others, and will never lie to him.
Ye Pu treats him sincerely, which is different from others.
……
Murong Zhi knew very well that he had always been very good at deceiving himself and others.
He clearly saw the clues that something was wrong, but he forced himself not to think about it, not to ask.
