The high-intensity journey every day will gradually exhaust people's physical strength, so every time the caravan arrives in a town to supply supplies, it will take advantage of the opportunity to give everyone a break and let everyone rest.
This time they arrived at a small county town, and the caravan decided to rest for three days.
Yesterday, the caravan bought a group of sheep directly. At night, after a bunch of bonfires were lit, the entire camp was filled with the scent of mutton soup.
The night of partying lasted until late at night, and until the next morning, many people still got up very early and started getting busy.
As long as you don't continue to rush, doing something is equivalent to rest.
Ji Wushuang also got up very early. She went to a small town and found a soup cake shop. She borrowed the owner's stove and started making snacks.
Huang Xiaoshi is a person who loves to eat and is extremely picky about food. He did not eat well or rest well during the journey. Since it is a day off, Ji Wushuang naturally wants to make some delicious food for him.
The sun rose and everything was warm. Only then did Huang Xiaoshi wake up.
It is said that for the first thirty years, one cannot wake up from sleep, and Huang Xiaoshi was in this state.
After Huang Xiaoshi woke up, he brushed his teeth and washed his face step by step. It was almost noon.
At this time Ji Wushuang came over and prepared meals for Huang Xiaoshi.
…
There was a low table under a big tree, and two clean embroidered carpets were spread on both sides of the table.
On the table were lamb ribs cut into small strips, refined white salt, some preserved fruits and snacks, and two jars of aged wine were placed under the table.
This is already the best thing you can buy in this small county.
After Ji Wushuang brought Huang Xiaoshi under the tree, the two sat on the ground, both sitting on the carpet.
Looking at the table full of exquisite food, Huang Xiaoshi knew that Ji Wushuang was interested.
Huang Xiaoshi is good at eating, but he doesn't know how to cook.
Of course, you can't blame him. Young people don't know how to cook. This is a sign of the progress of the times.
"Sir, please try the slave's craftsmanship." Ji Wushuang said softly to Huang Xiaoshi.
Fortunately, I washed my hands in the morning.
Huang Xiaoshi directly picked up a mutton rib with his hands, dipped it in a little salt, and started chewing it.
The ribs were cooked well, the heat was just right, and the mutton was cooked well without being overcooked.
When it comes to eating mutton, the habits of nomadic tribesmen and Central Plains people are opposite.
Tribal people like to eat mutton medium-rare, that is, after cutting the meat, you can still see that the meat is reddish in color. If it is more tender, medium-rare is fine.
After cutting the meat, it can also squeeze out the blood between the meat.
Another way of eating that the Central Plains people like is to cut the mutton into slices and simmer it over low heat until it becomes tender.
For example, yesterday's mutton soup had to be cooked for at least an hour, and all the oil in the bones was gone.
For Huang Xiaoshi, both eating methods are acceptable. In the eating industry, he is well-informed and has a high degree of acceptance.
Huang Xiaoshi was concentrating on dealing with mutton, while Ji Wushuang took out a pipa from nowhere and started playing it gently.
The pipa was played very softly, which was beyond Huang Xiaoshi's expectation. He did not expect that Ji Wushuang could play the pipa so well.
It's hard to say about other musical instruments, but Huang Xiaoshi knows a lot about the pipa.
Here, good times, beautiful scenery, delicious food, beautiful people, and beautiful music, even though it is in the wilderness, this kind of enjoyment is not something ordinary people can achieve.
At the end of the song, Ji Wushuang held the pipa and half-hided her face. She asked softly: "Master, I have a question from my family."
"Yeah." Huang Xiaoshi responded. He probably guessed what Ji Wushuang wanted to say.
After Ji Wushuang put down the pipa, he opened the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for Huang Xiaoshi, then knelt on the ground and handed the wine bowl to him.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't drink after taking the wine bowl, but stared at the dark mountains in the distance with his eyes.
"Young Master." Ji Wushuang put down the wine jar and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Wushuang has followed the Young Master on a journey of thousands of miles. Along the way, even others can see Wu Shuang's feelings for the Young Master. Does the Young Master know?"
Huang Xiaoshi didn't expect Ji Wushuang to attack so directly. After being silent for a while, he concentrated on dealing with the dried fruits.
"Master." Ji Wushuang looked at Huang Xiaoshi's profile and said calmly: "Master, do you like Wushuang?"
Huang Xiaoshi held a dried fruit in his hand and squeezed it for a while, then nodded slowly.
When Ji Wushuang heard this, she immediately became happy. She said to Huang Xiaoshi, "The slave family is willing to serve the young master from now on."
After Huang Xiaoshi was silent again, he shook his head and said, "I don't want it."
After Ji Wushuang, who was still happy, heard this, his smiling face suddenly turned to stone.
"Crack!"
Ji Wushuang threw the wine jar that she was about to pour for Huang Xiaoshi onto the wooden table. The jar shattered and the wine splashed.
Ji Wushuang stood up. She looked down at Huang Xiaoshi and asked angrily: "What do you mean?!"
Huang Xiaoshi watched in silence as the wine on the table slowly flowed to the floor.
"Do you think I'm too old?" Ji Wushuang said bitterly to Huang Xiaoshi.
Huang Xiaoshi shook his head.
"You don't believe I'm still a virgin?!" Ji Wushuang roared at Huang Xiaoshi.
Ji Wushuang.
The name originally refers to her value.
Ji, because of her birth, her mother is a Ji, also called half-artist and half-prostitute, so she was born as a Ji.
Unparalleled because she has been a beauty since she was a child. The big boss always praises everyone: "This girl will definitely have unparalleled beauty in the future."
Since it is a "high-end product" with extremely high value, Ji Wushuang has received excellent care since childhood.
This care was not given in vain, but it brought Ji Wushuang a carefree childhood.
The turning point was when Ji Wushuang was ten years old.
With the expansion and expansion of the Tianlong Sect, it entered the Western Regions.
The small Tucheng where Ji Wushuang was located was included in the territory of the Tianlong Sect.
The eight-part Tianlong Night was among a bunch of children, and he took a fancy to Ji Wushuang at first sight, and then took her away without spending any money.
Ten-year-old Ji Wushuang has been practicing dance hard for five years, and then her spirituality in dancing amazed Yasha.
But the big boss didn't suffer any loss. After that, Ji Wushuang would give him a lot of money every year, lots and lots of money.
These money are all pocket money given by Yaksha to Ji Wushuang. Yaksha wants to cultivate Ji Wushuang's noble spirit, and to cultivate noble spirit, you need to use money, and use the most money.
Ji Wushuang secretly saved money, which she gave to the big boss as alimony for her mother.
When Ji Wushuang was accepted as a direct disciple by Yaksha, the big boss no longer dared to accept any more money from her, and he even took the initiative to take care of Ji Wushuang's mother's pension.
Anyway, it only costs a small amount of money to raise an additional old woman, but the benefits obtained are beyond what this little money can compare with.
Part of Ji Wushuang's charm was born in her mother's womb, and part was forcibly trained since childhood. She is a Ji herself. If she doesn't learn how to seduce men, what will she learn?
After Yaksha accepted Ji Wushuang as his apprentice, he also strictly required Ji Wushuang to remain a virgin, not because of anything else, but also because of her value as a woman.
High-value goods need to be used where they are worthy of consumption.
The most worthwhile place to spend Ji Wushuang's money is the palace in the Central Plains.
However, this opportunity is not easy to find, but Ji Wushuang is a rare and high-value commodity with a long shelf life.
I'd rather wait a little longer.
In this way, Ji Wushuang followed Yaksha for many years, but the situation suddenly changed dramatically.
The King of Heaven suddenly disappeared, so the matter of presenting gifts to the Central Plains court was naturally put on hold.
However, at this time, Yasha was still very strict with Ji Wushuang, at least he was not harmed by other men like Fan Weili.
A few years later, a major event happened that could shake the Tianlong Sect.
The team that went to rescue the Heavenly King was intercepted and killed on the way back, and the Heavenly King disappeared. At the same time, Yasha and Mohuluaka died in the battle.
Later, Ji Wushuang inherited the name of Yaksha and became one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
When Ji Wushuang became a yaksha, naturally no one dared to exchange her body for anything else, not even the Dragon King.
As a result, Ji Wushuang just grew old alone.
Today, Ji Wushuang finally revealed her feelings in front of the person she likes, but Huang Xiaoshi actually doubted her chastity. How could she not be angry?
Seeing the furious Ji Wushuang, Huang Xiaoshi was no longer silent. He really had no such concept in his mind.
They are all people who have played crazy games, who cares about these feelings.
Just when Ji Wushuang was about to go crazy in anger, Huang Xiaoshi shook his head again and said to Ji Wushuang: "No, I have never thought about it, and I don't care about such a thing."
"That's why!!"
This is not the case, and that is not the case. Are you kidding me?
Ji Wushuang asked almost through gritted teeth.
"That's because." Huang Xiaoshi was silent for a moment, his heart ached, but he couldn't explain the reason at all.
This is an unexplainable reason.
After being silent for a while, Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang: "Please believe me, I have my own reasons. There are many good men in this world, and you shouldn't be looking for me. I can't like you."
Ji Wushuang heard something in Huang Xiaoshi's words.
At this time, a stupider woman will break the casserole and ask the truth. She must ask the man clearly what his difficulties are and force him to tell him face to face.
And by doing so, in addition to getting an answer in the end, it will break the relationship between the two people more completely.
Ji Wushuang is a smart woman, so she knows that she needs to change the topic between them now.
Ji Wushuang suppressed the sadness in her heart and said to Huang Xiaoshi, "Sir, Wushuang, come and dance for you."
Ji Wushuang stretched out her sleeves and started dancing.
Today's clothes are not the bright red gauze clothes Ji Wushuang wore in the past, they are just very ordinary tribal clothes, but Ji Wushuang dances very well.
Dancing is what Ji Wushuang is best at, and dancing has accompanied her through the most important years of her life.
The big boss and Yaksha both saw it wrong, Ji Wushuang is a peerless treasure.
…
After Ji Wushuang danced for a few steps, she stopped.
Ji Wushuang said to Huang Xiaoshi with some embarrassment: "There is no accompanying music, so this dance is not very good."
Ji Wushuang is good at dancing, but when she danced in the past, she was always accompanied by musical accompaniment.
Now there was dancing but no music. After doing a few moves, Ji Wushuang felt that it was like vegetables but no salt, lacking in flavor.
Huang Xiaoshi glanced left and right, and he saw Ji Wushuang's pipa thrown on the ground next to him.
"Young master, can you play the pipa?" Ji Wushuang asked curiously when he saw Huang Xiaoshi holding the pipa.
"Just a moment." Huang Xiaoshi was reaching out to touch the strings of the pipa and said without raising his head.
Huang Xiaoshi has been learning pipa for nine years, which means he has been learning pipa for nine years from elementary school to junior high school.
All the pipa teachers praised Huang Xiaoshi for his dexterous hands.
After studying for nine years, Huang Xiaoshi is not without merit. Huang Xiaoshi has participated in provincial team performances and won awards.
I stopped learning pipa in high school because my studies were too heavy.
For Huang Xiaoshi, these are nothing worth showing off.
Because Huang Xiaoshi's pipa skills are just a reflection of Dad's ability.
The so-called specialties of musical instruments can always be revealed with money.
The child's specialty is nothing more than a medal that middle-aged men show off at parties.
However, after not participating in high-intensity practice, Huang Xiaoshi fell in love with Pipa because he has a pair of extremely agile hands.
The mind is clever.
Huang Xiaoshi likes to repeat mechanical movements so that he can think more quickly.
So in the last semester of his senior year of high school, Huang Xiaoshi's family hired a tutor, and he stopped studying to study alone at home.
After the private tutor finished his lesson and left home, Huang Xiaoshi sat in front of a pile of papers. He fell in love with playing the pipa and thinking about difficult problems.
It's just that Huang Xiaoshi has never touched this thing since time travel, and now he has no confidence.
After touching the strings and trying the sound test again, Huang Xiaoshi held the pipa and began to warm up his hands with simple single-string sounds.
Someone once laughed at Huang Xiaoshi, saying that men are good at playing the pipa.
Huang Xiaoshi waved his hand and gave him a picture of an angry King Kong playing the pipa, which confused his face.
After auditioning for a while, Huang Xiaoshi gradually found the feeling.
Speaking of songs that are suitable for dancing, Huang Xiaoshi knows one, and this is also the song that his performance group won an award for.
In this piece of music, the pipa is the main vocal and needs to be played from beginning to end.
In order to play this song well, the real man Huang Xiaoshi cried at least ten times.
"Okay, come on, dance."
Before Huang Xiaoshi finished speaking, a tune engraved in Huang Xiaoshi's DNA began to play as his hands quickly played.
This is the song "Yun Gong Xun Yin" that is so familiar that the audience is extremely demanding on its performance and it is extremely difficult to excel.
As the music started to play, Ji Wushuang threw off her long sleeves and started dancing.
This was the first time Ji Wushuang heard this piece of music. It was solemn and full of ethereal meaning, and she happened to also know how to dance.
Ji Wushuang could hear the meaning in Huang Xiaoshi's music, and Huang Xiaoshi could also understand the meaning in Ji Wushuang's dance.
When the song ended, Ji Wushuang closed his sleeves and knelt down.
There was half a sound.
"Okay!" Huang Xiaoshi couldn't help but exclaimed first.
With a cheer, Ji Wushuang stood up. She bowed to Huang Xiaoshi first, and then said, "I didn't expect that the young master can play the pipa so well."
Not only is it good, it is simply a fairy sound.
People in this world don't know how they can produce such a fairy-like sound.
It ends in one song, too short.
Huang Xiaoshi, who had just drank a bowl of wine, was in high spirits.
"Playing is nothing, I can also sing." Huang Xiaoshi opened his sleeves and said to Ji Wushuang: "Listen carefully."
Huang Xiaoshi cleared his throat and began to whistle loudly while playing the pipa.
"Ah~~, ahhh~~, ahhhhh~"
This song is very difficult, so Huang Xiaoshi hired a private tutor for three lessons a week, each lesson costs 1,500 yuan. He started to learn seriously from inhaling, exhaling, exhaling, and pronunciation.
For this song, Huang Xiaoshi never left the pipa behind after arriving at university.
When Huang Xiaoshi's long whistle reached its highest pitch, it suddenly stopped, and then the song became softer.
“When the mountains have no edges;
When the river stops flowing;
When time stops day and night;
All things in heaven and earth turned into nothingness..."
This song is one of the most profound memories of Huang Xiaoshi's childhood. In his heart, it is not only a holiday memory, but also represents the eternal love.
A love that can never be broken up.
“I still can’t break up with you;
I can’t break up with you;
Your tenderness is my greatest support in this life..."
This is what Huang Xiaoshi prepared for his favorite girl. He plans to sing this song to her on the day of his proposal.
For that moment, Huang Xiaoshi practiced extremely hard.
It's just that Huang Xiaoshi is a very boring person. He has never performed this song in front of others. He always goes directly to the karaoke OK to reserve a room and sings it alone with the door closed.
“Let us live in the world of mortals in a carefree and unrestrained way;
Riding horses and galloping to share the prosperity of the world;
Sing to the wine and express the joy in your heart;
Seize your youth vigorously..."
While singing, Huang Xiaoshi thought of his silly self in the past, with an intoxicated and happy smile on his face.
After repeating it several times, Huang Xiaoshi roared loudly again, but this time his voice was full of sadness.
At the end of the song, Ji Wushuang was stunned.
Ji Wushuang grew up in singing and dancing music. After meeting many peerless masters, Ji Wushuang's eyesight was very high. However, this song still shocked her and moved her deeply.
"What's this song?" Ji Wushuang asked softly.
After Huang Xiaoshi let out a long sigh, he put down the pipa in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This is the song I prepared for the one I love, but it's a pity that I didn't use it."
"She...?" Ji Wushuang asked, suppressing the sadness in her heart.
"She's not dead." Huang Xiaoshi's voice suddenly became normal, and he said: "She is still alive and well. It's just..."
Huang Xiaoshi paused here.
You have already missed a good girl, are you going to miss a second one?
Huang Xiaoshi suddenly woke up, wasn't the thing he had been asking for all along right in front of him?
Ji Wushuang asked: "Just what?"
"It's just that I can't love her yet." Huang Xiaoshi looked at Ji Wushuang and stopped talking.
Ji Wushuang's eyes turned red, and she said to Huang Xiaoshi, "I am willing to wait."
Huang Xiaoshi stopped talking. He turned around, put down the pipa in his hand, picked up a lamb rib and started chewing it again.
"Well, it tastes a little weird because of some wine, but it's okay?"
Smart men also know how to change the topic.
"Really? Give me one to try."
Huang Xiaoshi looked at Ji Wushuang and said "Don't wait" after all.
