Chapter eight hundred and fifteenth dark tide
When you first see the scenery on the meadow, you really feel comfortable. The endless broad, high sky, white clouds, and deserts all over the mountains have indeed had a great impact on people, as if all the afflictions and burdens have dissipated without a trace in this wide world.
Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there are times when you get tired of it.
Qin Daixin was lying on the carriage, with one hand on her forehead to block the dazzling sunshine, and the other hand was fiddling with a small stone.
Ji Wan'er shook her head secretly. This girl has been worried since she left Duozi Village, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.
After Qin Daixin finished talking with Chu Caiyi that day, she went back to her room directly. She didn't go to find Murong Jing, nor did she tell anyone what she heard.
Xueqing and Lingzi followed her instructions to prepare dry food and water for Chu Caiyi, and gave her another sum of silver and a horse. They took advantage of the night to send her out of Duzi Village. Because Qin Daixin and Pan Shuangshuang reached an agreement, the people in Duzi Village did not make things difficult for her, but everyone didn't know where she went.
Before dawn the next day, Qin Daixin and Murong Jing mobilized everyone and took advantage of the dark sky to leave Duzi Village. Not long after they left Duzi Village, they heard the news that Sha Lifei had eliminated Cao Heihan halfway. The three of them became tigers, and the incident was so unpredictable that Sha Lifei had become a heavenly soldier and general who could defeat hundreds of people. They beat Cao Heihan to pieces and became the guardian god of the desert caravan overnight.
Qin Daixin ignored these things from the outside. She asked her subordinates to leave only a few camels, and all the rest were replaced with horses. She also bought two carriages with high prices, and then set off again.
The terrain is becoming flat, and the signs of desertified grasslands are becoming more and more obvious, but the altitude is getting higher and higher. Those with poor health may be unable to breathe. Fortunately, everyone is in good health and can bear it.
Ji Wan'er slowly leaned over and lay beside her like Qin Daixin.
Over the past few days, everyone can see that Qin Daixin's behavior is abnormal. She has become very few words. Even when facing Murong Jing, she doesn't look like a smile. She is cold and makes people feel furious!
"Oh, what are you making a temper?" Ji Wan'er has always been outspoken. She thought Qin Dai was a friend. Although she had endured the questions in her heart in a very aggrieved way before, she finally couldn't bear it and asked Qin Dai's heart.
Qin Daixin didn't turn her head to look at her, and said, "Sister Wan'er, why aren't you getting tired of Brother Duan?" During this period, everyone has been living together with joys and sorrows. Not only do they have to face the life of sleeping in the desert, but they also have to be alert to the elusive horse bandits and desert wolves. Everyone's tacit understanding has long been developed, and even the relationship between Duan Xing and Ji Wan'er has quickly heated up. Although Duan Xing is rough and has a carefree and heroic temperament, sometimes his heart is really delicate. Ji Wan'er is thirsty and handed water when he is cold, and he puts a cotton coat on him. He looks like a gentle man, which makes people envious.
"You, what are you saying? You girl, I won't pull your mouth." Ji Wan'er pretended to push her twice, then came over and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, are you having a quarrel with Master Jiu?" Now everyone calls Murong Jing Jiu.
Qin Daixin blinked, "No!"
"Come on. Let me ask you, why have you been careless to Master Jiu these days? Don't you sleep together? Why..."
As soon as Ji Wan'er finished speaking, she felt that someone had pinched her waist. She screamed, then covered her mouth as if she had remembered something, and looked around. Seeing that everyone around her were sitting attentively on the horse, she didn't pay attention to them, she whispered: "You can't be gentle."
"Who told you to be unrestrained?" Qin Daixin sat up in a few seconds and leaned closer to her and said, "What does sleep together mean? You have ruined my reputation."
Ji Wan'er paused, "Oh, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I shouldn't say that." Ji Wan'er said something begging for mercy, but rolled her eyes secretly. Fame? If she really cared about this thing, would she elope with Master Jiu at all costs? Besides, the two of them really slept together every day, and they lie in the same place with their clothes. What's the point of sleeping together without saying that? Everyone's eyes are not blind, it's really...
"Okay, don't be careless with me. I'll ask you, why did Master Jiu offend you? Your face is as cold as Master Jiu every day, uh..." He said the wrong thing again.
Ji Wan'er pinched her mouth helplessly. She really didn't open any pot. She turned to meet Qin Daixin's inquiring gaze. Ji Wan'er was so angry that she simply said, "Okay, okay! I'll tell you directly! These days, you and Master Jiu are holding their faces every day, like two big icebergs. It's not easy for brothers to live a life!" Everyone dared not provoke Murong Jing, so they could only ask Ji Wan'er to ask Qin Daixin indirectly to see when the faces of these two great gods will be clear.
Qin Daixin narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "Mr. Jiu has always been like this. Everyone has followed him for so long, aren't they used to it?"
Ji Wan'er smiled bitterly, "Habit is used to it, but everyone is not used to you like this. You keep your face calm every day, making the cold wind blowing in Jiu Ye's place, staring at you every day as if you want to eat people. Hello, who can stand it!"
Qin Daixin's face was not surprised or happy, she said, "You don't understand me. The more I am, the more nervous and cautious I am."
Ji Wan'er looked at her with a ghost expression, cautious, this is understandable, but nervous? Where does this start? Didn't she say that there is anyone more steady in this world than the little girl in front of her? She has been calm enough to reach a level of calmness, even the old man who has been rolling in the house for a lifetime, I am afraid it will be difficult to guess her true thoughts, dare to think, be cruel, and be determined, and want to use the word nervous to get through. She is fooling her!
Well, if people don’t want to say it, we shouldn’t force it.
Ji Wan'er sat upright, and her eyes met Duan Xing in the distance, and she couldn't help but shake her head.
Duan Xinghui, who was riding on the horse, gave Ji Wan'er an expression she knew about for a long time, and Ji Wan'er's cheeks were so angry that she bulged.
Duan Xing had advised her early in the morning, saying that the couple was obviously having a quarrel and told her not to get involved. Based on the tempers of these two people, even if they had anything, they would not listen to others' advice. The two of them were too similar, they both had the same temper and were very strong. She couldn't find out anything after she went there, and she even made her unhappy. Why bother!
She didn't listen to the advice at that time, but now thinking about it, Duan Xing is really right!
Ji Wan'er sighed, "I have to endure this day."
A group of people slowly moved forward in this depressing atmosphere. The team went further and further away, and the desolate scenery gradually became vivid. I don’t know when it started, but there were more and more people. It was not those traveling merchants who were rushing and full of vigilance, but herders living on the grassland and stationed on the grassland.
The low ancient buildings replaced the ruins of the desert grasslands. The simple market was filled with small stalls, and the children were playing in coarse cotton coats. The rather depressing town became kind and cute in the eyes of everyone.
Bianwu Town, one of the many small towns adjacent to Vanna, is affiliated to Dayong, but due to regional relations, the customs and customs here are closer to Vanna. This is a must-pass place for all illegal and French traders between Dayong and Vanna. People are repairing here, and at the same time inquire about information and preparing to go to Vanna.
Qin Daixin did his homework before, and there was a Luoying Town about a hundred miles west of Bianwu Town. It was closer to the border of Vanna and was harassed by bandits for many years. The people lived in poverty. The people farmed and picked hard all year round. They often paid for the bandits when they were harvested. They did everything they did, either robbed or seized, or were traitorous. But they just didn't kill people. The Vanna people were not kind-hearted, but did not want to kill chickens and eggs. They allowed the people of Luoying Town to reproduce and live, only seized their labor income, but did not kill people. The ancients were pedantic and thought that they could not leave their hometown. Although life was difficult, they were unwilling to leave their hometown and go to other places to seek a way to survive. After a while, Luoying Town became a supply station for the Vanna thieves.
Luoying Town is like a barrier to Bianwu Town. If all the people in Luoying Town are exposed, then the Vanna people will not care about the distance of ten miles. They will arrive after a few hours of riding their horses and whipping.
Qin Daixin took back her mind and looked carefully at the scenery in front of her that was not considered a scenery. The laughing children, the old men basking in the sun at the wall, the hurried strangers, and passers-by like them. How many are locals and how many are outsiders in this scattered market town?
Qin Daixin had a premonition, and the big hands that stretched towards them seemed to be not far from them.
"Master, what's there to see?" Xue Qing came to Qin Daixin and asked in a low voice.
Qin Daixin stroked the smooth wooden railing with her jade hands and said, "It's nothing, this place can actually be considered a grassland, right?" The landforms are all the landforms of plateau grasslands, but they are now divided into two countries. Qin Daixin thought of the fifty-six ethnic groups in later generations, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It takes time to make everything harmonious.
"No, look at the people here, there are the clothes of our Dayong and the clothes of Vanna. Moreover, the climate here is the same as Vanna, and the customs and habits are similar to Vanna." Xue Qing sniffed and touched her face. The town was close to the desert, and the rain was pitiful. This year it was a drought year, so the moisture in the air was even less. When people arrived here, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and they were dry everywhere and uncomfortable.
"Where is Master Jiu?"
"Take everyone to arrange their residence. This shop is really simple and cannot be compared with Duzi Village. There are very few single rooms, so the master may have to give it a try."
Qin Daixin's eyes were faint, and she only said two words: "It's okay." (To be continued)
