He didn't know how long it had passed, but Li Xu slowly raised his head. He felt that he had grown up instantly and become extremely strong. Even if a snowstorm suddenly came on the grassland, he could stand up straight and be held in his arms.
There is no wind, no snow, the quietest and warmest place in the world!
"Brother Fuli..." The girl in her arms screamed like she was dreaming. Perhaps because of the cold or other reasons, her nostrils seemed to be a little blocked, and her voice sounded lingering and disturbing.
"Yes!" Li Xu replied in a dreamy voice. He seemed to have suffered a bit of cold, and his voice was deep and magnetic.
The two horses couldn't stand the sweet sound and ran away. One ran away because it was unloaded, but the other was unable to spread its hooves because it was dragging a huge star iron, so it had to struggle forward a few times.
He took a few steps and lay down on the ground, burying his ears in the grass.
"Brother Fuli, do you think I'm from the Hu tribe?" the girl asked quietly, sighing.
"No, absolutely not. I, Li Xu, swear to Changshengtian, if..." Li Xu quickly raised his right hand and shouted. Fang was about to swear, but a spring-onion-like finger gently blocked his lips.
between.
"You fool, it's not true. Why do you swear? It's not that I don't believe you!" The girl said with a smile on her face.
"I, I just..." Li Xu felt moved and sweet in his heart. After thinking for a while, he finally plucked up the courage to say: "According to our customs in the Central Plains, if you like someone, you must first tell both parents. Then the man invites you
You have to go to a matchmaker to propose marriage, and only after the girl’s parents give permission, can you receive the blessings from the elders in front of everyone, and only then can you enter the bridal chamber to perform the ceremony of Duke Zhou!"
Li Xu suddenly raised his voice and said everything he wanted to say in his heart. He no longer wanted to hide it, nor did he want to escape anymore. He wanted Tao Kuo Tuosi to know that he had fallen in love with him from the first sight.
He fell in love with the other person. He really liked her and knew her heart. Therefore, after telling his parents, he wanted to marry Tao Kuo in a dignified manner and let her be his bride in a dignified way.
"Fool, who agreed to be your bride!" Tao Kuo took off his silk stockings. Although he didn't understand what Zhou Gong's gift meant, he could guess something from Li Xu's red face. The worry in his chest was gone, and he was filled with sweetness and happiness.
The feeling filled up all the blank spaces tightly. She cursed with a smile and lowered her head slightly. From her neck to her ears, everything was filled with the color of rays of light.
"I never thought you were a Hu girl, just like you never thought I was a Han'er. I just respected you before!" Li Xu lowered his head and pecked the pink neck, and said in the girl's ear.
The girl's body became softer and softer, and she "melted" on Li Xu's chest like spring snow, motionless. After a long while, she changed to a more comfortable leaning position, closed her eyes tightly and asked: "Then, what about Uncle Mazi, Uncle Scar and the others?"
, why didn’t they get married, just, just..."
Later, due to shyness, my voice became almost inaudible.
"They are a flirty couple, they can't be serious!" Li Xu sighed and explained to Tao Kuo in a low voice. Xu Dayan's lost look after drinking instantly appeared in front of his eyes. Eru's feelings for Xu Dayan,
I'm afraid it's as intense as Tao Kuo's taking off her silk. But if she knew that Xu Dayan refused to marry because of his family's reputation, I don't know how sad she would be.
"What is a dew couple?" Tao Kuo asked in a low voice without silk. Her Chinese master was Aunt Qing. For a woman from a wealthy family, the word dew couple must have never been mentioned in front of a foreigner.
"It's like dew on the tip of the grass. It only exists at night and is dried by the sun as soon as it breaks. It's as if nothing happened!" Li Xu thought about it and put it in words that Tao Kuo Tuoshi could understand.
For example, in the Central Plains, this kind of behavior is frowned upon, so his words were unknowingly laced with contempt.
"Lushui couple, this word is so beautiful. You Han people are so smart that you can come up with such interesting words!" Tao Kuo Tuosi didn't feel the derogatory meaning in the word at all. He twisted his body in Li Xu's arms and expressed his appreciation for the word dew.
Fascinating.
For people in love, time always passes too fast. When Li Xu and Tao Kuo took off their clothes and returned to the Su Chuobu camp from the Crescent Lake, the sky was already dark. Countless fires were lit in the center of the camp, far away
It looks like stars rolling on the top of the grass. Beside the fire, the shepherd's singing can be heard in the distance, including singing about the longevity sky, and more directly expressing the love between men and women. Li Xu and Tao Kuo looked at each other without silk
They glanced at each other and quickly looked away. Sweet feelings rippled in their hearts, as if the wind they breathed was filled with the smell of nectar.
"You are finally back!" Aslan, who was leading the tribe to patrol the outside of the camp, saw Li Xu and ran over to complain in a low voice. According to the usual rules, Tao Kuo would have jumped up and retorted: "Who wants you to care!"
.But today, everyone waited for a long time but did not hear the little barbarian girl's movement. Everyone opened their eyes strangely and found that Tao Kuo's face was red and there was a different kind of tenderness in his eyes.
"It turns out that the flowers on the grassland are blooming!" someone said in a narrow-minded manner, which immediately attracted a lot of laughter. Tao Kuo's face turned even redder, he suddenly clamped the horse's belly, rushed away from the crowd, and headed towards his home.
and fled in the wrong direction.
"It seems that Master Fu Li is not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at riding and shooting!" Aslan joked and rode his horse to block Li Xu's way. He and his wife were often "bullied" by the little villain Tao Kuo Tuosi.
, now that we have the opportunity, how can we not seize the opportunity to avenge the past?
Li Xu was so laughed at that everyone's ears were burning, but he couldn't just ride away like Tao Kuo, so he could only open his eyes wide and pretend to understand some of the Turkic language spoken by Aslan and others. He waited for everyone to laugh.
After enough trouble, he cupped his hands and asked in a low voice: "Brother Aslan, do you have anything to do with me? Why are there so many fires in the tribe today?"
"Your tribe is here, and Chief Xier is hosting a banquet to entertain them. The warriors from the Shetuo Tribe, Bishi Tribe and Daxi Tribe have not left yet, so everyone just gathered together to eat roasted sheep. The spring sheep have just been fatted.
, It’s a fresh moment!” Aslan introduced to Li Xu with a smile. Last year, it was the arrival of the caravan that provided the Su Chuan tribe with an opportunity to form an alliance with other tribes. This time, everyone came again, and the Su Chuan tribe naturally
We must do our best to entertain them. Moreover, these people are all members of the tribe of Fengli and Xu Xianzhe. The herdsmen of Zhulin will respect their houses and show their utmost goodwill to the caravan.
"Uncle Ninth? That's great!" Li Xu exclaimed ecstatically. Everything went as planned today, and he and Tao Kuo Tuosi made a lifelong appointment. Uncle Ninth came with his people and went back to the felt bag by himself.
I wrote a letter home and asked him to take it back. It probably won’t take long...
"Your people all look the same. I can't tell who is who!" Aslan admitted with a wry smile. In their eyes, almost all the Han people look similar. They hang out together like Li Xu and Xu Dayan.
Being familiar with each other, Asilan can naturally tell the difference between the two of them. People like Uncle Jiu and Zhang San, who have only met each other a few times, are almost the same face without any difference in the memory of the men of the Xi tribe.
"Go quickly. Xu Xianzhe and the clan leader's younger brother Su Chuifuli have taken people to make a treaty with the Khitan people in the east. They won't be back for half a month. Are your clan members still asking around for your residence just now?" Hou Quli
He walked up and pushed Li Xu and said with a smile.
"Thank you Brother Aslan, thank you Brother Hou Quli, let's drink some other time!" Li Xu said goodbye to everyone. The title "tribe" made him feel very warm. Although there were many unpleasant memories during the last trip, it has been a long time.
, these unpleasant memories were slowly forgotten, and all that remained in my heart was the kindness of the local accent and the nostalgia for my hometown.
A vague feeling of nostalgia enveloped Li Xu. He kept urging his mount, hoping to meet those familiar faces in the shortest possible time. However, the faces beside the fire made him a little disappointed. Uncle Jiu
Hao Laodao was not there, and not even the annoying Du Scaran appeared. After passing three or four fires surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he finally saw a few old acquaintances.
"Xu... Mr. Li, you are back. The clan leader is talking to us about your achievements!" Uncle Zhang laughed and stood up from the largest fire in the center of the camp with an enthusiasm that was ten times more intense than the bonfire.
Shout to Li Xu.
"I've met Mr. Li!" Several familiar and unfamiliar vendors stood up at the same time and solemnly saluted Li Xu, who was less than half their age.
"Master Li?" Li Xu has grown up, and he has never had the experience of his elders giving him gifts. Therefore, his expression was very unnatural for a moment, and he felt dizzy, as if he had just been poured a dozen skins of horse wine.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Mr. Li was referring to himself. He quickly jumped off the horse and returned the salute to everyone while shouting: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Mazi, what are you doing? Kill the junior, Zhe."
Kill the junior!"
"It should be, it should be. The achievements Mr. Li has established in the Su Chuan tribe make our faces glow when we hear it!" Wang Mazi took a few steps forward and hugged Li Xu's shoulders.
"What achievements are there! Uncle Mazi, please don't say that. Where's Uncle Ninth, why didn't you see him!" Li Xu gently broke away and asked everyone. Zhang San, Wang Mazi and others went too far.
The enthusiasm made him feel very unaccustomed. To him, such hypocritical politeness was not as real as the scolding of the "unlucky boy" on the road.
"Uncle Jiu" relieved all the embarrassment. When everyone heard Li Xu's question, they immediately shut their mouths tightly. It wasn't until Li Xu couldn't press the question anymore that Uncle Zhang lowered his head and said in a very low voice: "Brother Jiu met
It's a little troublesome. I can't come this time. Let's go to your felt bag to talk about the details later. Your father asked me to bring you a family letter. After socializing with the patriarch, I will deliver it to you personally.
Mansion!"
Your Majesty, the Patriarch, the Mansion, Li Xu listened to these words that were more awkward than the last, and the little joy left in his heart was washed away. If Uncle Jiu didn't come, who would report the matter of her and Tao Kuo's separation? Prepare.
Who should carry the silverware back to the Central Plains? Uncle Zhang is not a reliable person, and his character can be inferred from his arrogant and respectful behavior. What about the others? Can the old pervert Wang Mazi be trusted?
Li Xu was in a bad mood, so the wine was naturally dull. Without Uncle Jiu, a generous and generous leader, the vendors seemed to have lost a lot of energy. After eating half a head of roast lamb, they put down their meat cleavers one after another.
Seeing that the merchants were not drinking as happily as last time, Chief Xier thought that they were too tired from the journey, so he also speeded up the banquet process. Everyone made an appointment for the meeting time and exchanged some irrelevant polite words.
