Xie Luohe's outrageous speech seemed to have used magic to knock Zheng Xiu off the camel's back.
"Let's go! Xiaomo! Xiaohe!"
The Xieluo River was majestic and high-spirited. He stretched out his hand to pull up Zheng Xiu who had been inserted into the sand pit and threw it behind the camel. He laughed and led the poor "little river" that no one cared about, and drove him back to Cicada Valley.
That arrogant posture and anxious look, to outsiders, looked exactly like the scene where the unscrupulous village leader forcibly kidnapped a female slave to go up the mountain to become the husband of the village.
Zheng Xiu was still confused after being thrown onto the bed by Xie Luohe.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Zheng Xiu asked with wide eyes.
Xie Luohe said confidently: "You promised me!"
She shook three fingers.
The implication is "three things."
"I mean..." Zheng Xiu smiled bitterly: "Is it necessary to go to this point? I can't tell whether you are joking or serious."
Xie Luohe squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Can't tell? Just can't tell."
"I want to say..."
The incident happened suddenly. Zheng Xiu was not being pretentious, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Xie Luohe's face suddenly came close to Zheng Xiu, and the two of them were almost touching.
She smiled and asked, "Am I not beautiful?"
Zheng Xiu shook his head: "No."
Xie Luohe suddenly took two steps back, opened her arms and turned around, her clothes fluttering, and she asked again: "Feng Bei's body doesn't smell good?"
this.
Zheng Xiu was stunned and shook his head.
The smile on Xie Luohe's face condensed, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and there was deep sadness in his eyes: "Could it be that you don't want to?"
Zheng Xiu's heart softened and he couldn't bear to say: "I am willing..."
He obeyed.
Upon hearing this, Xie Luohe's face changed, the tears disappeared from the corners of his eyes, and he laughed as if the female cadre had succeeded: "Haha, all men in the world are just like that, they say what they say and mean what they mean!"
Zheng Xiu reacted and became angry: "You deceived me again!"
"So what if you are cheating, so what if you are not cheating? Two hundred years ago, you were not you, and I was not me. It is difficult for a lie to become true. Since you think everything is a lie, then, at the end of my departure from Xie Luohe, what can you do? What can you do if you are kindhearted and coax me and let me go happily?"
Xie Luohe's words made Zheng Xiugang's nameless anger at being "cheated" disappear in an instant.
This is the Shelo River.
No matter how moody and nonsense she behaves in front of Zheng Xiu, she can always catch Zheng Xiu's pain point, making it difficult for Zheng Xiu to be truly angry and have nowhere to vent.
At the same time, this is where Zheng Xiu struggled most along the way.
He kept telling himself that the world in the painting was a false world. He was not Gongsun Mo, and Fengbei could not be Xie Luohe. But now, the real interaction between the woman named "Xie Luohe" and himself made it difficult for Zheng Xiu to believe that the beautiful woman in front of him was just composed of an illusory memory.
Once Feng Bei comes back, Xie Luohe will disappear, and the more "real" Xie Luohe behaves, the more uncomfortable it will be for Zheng Xiu.
When Feng Bei came back, it seemed as if he, Zheng Xiu, had "killed" a living "Xie Luohe" with his own hands.
Zheng Xiu was silent.
Xie Luohe's white fingers lifted Zheng Xiu's chin, and their eyes met.
Xie Luohe smiled and said, "You are her Zheng Dashan, but you are also my little nerd. What does your Gongsun Mocheng's relationship have to do with Zheng Dashan?"
Zheng Xiu was stunned again when he heard this.
There seems to be...nothing wrong with this logic.
It made so much sense, he was speechless for a moment.
"That makes sense, right?"
Xie Luohe listened to Zheng Xiu's "voice" and pursed his lips and smiled: "Besides, I, Xie Luohe, am not a casual person. How can I really commit myself to you? Don't dream about it. I just want to taste the joy of newlyweds." I am happy to hear everyone laughing, put on the wedding dress, and have no regrets."
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he couldn't be infected by the smile on Xie Luohe's face, and a touch of sadness surged in his heart.
Shelo
He Jian convinced the naughty melon, nodded with a smile, and walked towards the door. Xie Luohe turned around again, facing Zheng Xiu, wringing his hands uneasily behind his back, with a gentle smile on his face that was indistinguishable from joy to sorrow: "Even if It’s only once, you let me do whatever you want, okay?”
Zheng Xiu was silent.
Xie Luohe's cheeks bulged and he raised an index finger vigorously: "Just once."
Zheng Xiu nodded: "Okay."
"yeah!"
Xie Luohe cheered, jumped up and down and ran into the yard, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
This time Xie Shenfu ran faster than the thief. Zheng Xiu sat on the bedside and looked at the empty yard, dumbfounded.
I thought about thanking the fierce woman for her style, but those who didn't know thought that he, Gongsun Mo, was the one to be married. Zheng Xiu suddenly felt strangely aggrieved, as if he had been forced to take a concubine by an unscrupulous master.
The news that "Gongsun and his wife" really became "husband and wife" spread throughout the little town of Richan in a short time.
When Zheng Xiu packed up his clothes and prepared to go back to visit the stalls, when he returned to his "Boss Mo", his small boat was already crowded with men and girls from the Lieri tribe.
"congratulation!"
"What a joy!"
"Happy, happy!"
"I'm so happy!"
"Now Boss Mo has really become the boss's wife!"
?
The simple desert people spoke the simplest words of congratulations.
There were no eloquent thousand-character essays or gorgeous words, but when their faces full of vicissitudes of life and baptized by sand and dust were filled with joyful smiles from the heart, Zheng Xiu could not help but be infected, as if he had really become Like the groom's official.
Zheng Xiu smiled and returned the greetings one by one.
In the boat, the Xieluo River was not there, and there was a group of naked tribal children having fun inside.
Every child is a disciple of Xieluohe. They carry a simple bow on their bare buttocks. They use a rope around their waist as a belt, with arrows without arrowheads inserted in it.
"Hello, Master!"
In the language system of desert peoples, men and women are not entirely distinguished by appearance. The first day they met Xie Luohe, they learned the honorific title from the Central Plains and called Xie Luohe "Xie Gong". Now that the news of the two's wedding came out, the children gave Zheng Xiu'an the official title of junior wife in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't curse, so he could only accept it with tears in his heart.
Who the hell is the groom?
Who will marry whom?
Xie Luohe set the wedding date one month later, on August 15th. She said that everything is extra round on this day, which sounds festive.
In the tradition of desert tribes, "red" is not the color they like to use when doing important things. For them, "red" is the color of "blood" and is used when offering sacrifices to heaven.
However, at the insistence of Xieluohe, the elder ordered the clever women of the tribe to start harvesting the best mulberry and hemp a month in advance. They had to go through various processes such as peeling, drying, tearing, rubbing, soaking, and winding, and then collected the unique red mulberry in the desert. The blood fruit is used as a dye, mixed with bamboo silk unique to the Western Regions, to make the bride's wedding dress.
In the town, lanterns are decorated and red lanterns are made early. As the wedding day approaches, they are added little by little to the streets of Cicada Town.
"Do you know why I like it here?"
Xie Luohe, who was busy being a bride, suddenly asked Zheng Xiu one day.
Zheng Xiu didn't know.
Xie Luohe pointed to his ear.
"I'm tired of hearing their intrigues, I hate hearing their smiles hiding their knives, I don't like hearing their cynicism, and I don't want to hear their fear and jealousy of me."
When Xie Luohe said this, he smiled very happily. Under Zheng Xiu's surprised eyes, Xie Luohe told Zheng Xiu that she had not slept well for many years, but she slept soundly during this year in the Sunset Tribe.
Xie Luohe told Zheng Xiu in an unusually calm and uncomplicated tone.
"Here, I "listen" to their joy, and to the heartache and unbearable beating of your heart. I sleep peacefully.
. "
In Zheng Xiu's complicated mood, the time is getting closer and closer to the wedding day.
The ninth day of August.
Six days before their wedding.
On a night when the sky is full of stars and there is no wind.
An unexpected guest, wrapped in a torn cloak and walking barefoot across the desert, arrived at Richan Valley.
The soldier in charge of guarding the entrance of the valley at that time happened to be Zheng Xiu's good neighbor "Brother Sun and Earth". He shot a wave of turning arrows at the visitor's feet.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Wanted, he is a rogue bandit.
As for Xiao Tao, before Xie Yunliu left, he used Bai Xiaosheng's friendship to find a wealthy businessman in the imperial city. The two wealthy businessmen were old and childless, and they treated Xiao Tao as their own daughter.
After the border pass was broken a year ago, it is said that a "strange man" came to help, and he could predict events like a god. Combined with the might of General Zheng, he regained the lost ground and drove the barbarians out of the border pass again. At present, the Northern Barbarians have ceased their activities. Xie Yunliu was slightly injured on the battlefield. General Zheng ordered him to recuperate temporarily.
That strange man was appreciated by the emperor and now became the national advisor of the Daqian dynasty.
Xie Yunliu was concerned about his sister's safety and approached Bai Xiaosheng again. Bai Xiaosheng gave the information, and Xie Yunliu vaguely noticed that his sister seemed to be walking all the way to the west, so he set foot on the desert alone, walked along the "Green River" and arrived at Richan Valley.
It was already midnight when Xie Yunliu finished talking about his year of wandering. He actually drank a large pot of the bad wine he disliked and lay on the table mumbling drunkenly.
"Brother, I'm getting married."
Xie Luohe suddenly said to Xie Yunliu with a happy face.
"Getting married? It's good to get married... Hiccup~ Wait, who would dare to marry you? Hehehehe..." Xie Yunliu did not open his eyes.
Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe looked at each other.
The corners of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched, obviously trying not to laugh out loud.
Xie Luohe clenched his fists and slapped Xie Yunliu on the back of the head.
"Snapped!"
Xie Yunliu screamed and passed out.
"Brother, take care."
Xie Luohe breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
The tenth day of August.
As soon as Xie Yunliu woke up from the wine, he held a knife with murderous intent and shouted that he wanted to chop up the grievance.
Zheng Xiu had expected this, so he calmly moved out of the sand basin, and excitedly made an appointment with Xie Yunliu to fight outside Richan Valley.
No one knew what happened between the two. Xie Yun ran back with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Later, a curious deserter went to take a look outside Richan Valley and found a small patch of sand in the desert, densely covered with neatly sized sand pits, which were sharp and thin as if there had been a "rain of swords".
When Xie Yunliu approached Xie Luohe again, he was already convinced. But when he was talking to Xie Luohe, he gritted his teeth and said "deceit" at one moment, and at the same time he earnestly warned him not to let his good brother-in-law who took the initiative to send him get away.
In the blink of an eye, August 15th finally arrived.
In Richan Town, pigs and sheep are slaughtered, lanterns are decorated, and festive red lanterns are hung everywhere.
There are no tables, chairs, or complicated customs. The people of the Lie Sun tribe start eating and drinking from the morning, and hold banquets non-stop. Xie Luohe was wearing a bright red wedding robe. He originally wanted to sit quietly in the wedding room and wait for Zheng Xiu to come to the door. However, Xie Luohe listened to the lively noises and congratulations outside and finally couldn't help but lifted up his red hijab and joined the drinking party.
Zheng Xiu originally didn't want to drink it, firstly because it didn't taste good, and secondly because he was afraid of being plotted again after drinking. But the atmosphere was so coaxed that Zheng Xiu ate and drank from noon to sunset until the so-called auspicious time.
Xie Yunliu rubbed his bald head and smiled like a fool, looking at the newlyweds who were neatly dressed and brought to them by a group of children. Xie Luohe mixed with Zheng Xiu, complaining why he didn't just drink and lie down to save trouble.
"It's better to come early than to be lucky!" Xie Yunliu rubbed his hands excitedly, with tears in his eyes.
Years of waiting are finally over.
"Thank you, even if I die in battle, I will have no regrets!"
The great elder tapped his cane and said loudly: "According to the custom of the Central Plains, the newlyweds worship the heaven and the earth!"
Xie Luohe pressed Zheng Xiu's head and knelt down to worship heaven and earth.
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
Xie Luohe smiled and said to Xie Yunliu, "Brother, take care."
"Of course take care, take care, definitely take care!" Xie Yunliu smiled stupidly and burped. Immediately afterwards, I didn't know why I was convulsed, and I shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Everyone stared at Xie Yunliu, as if they wanted to see what this "brother" wanted to do.
"It's a pity," Xie Yunliu said with regret, "General
I don’t think it’s beautiful enough. Brother-in-law, how about you marry my old sister again in the future? "
"Not beautiful enough?" Zheng Xiuxu smiled coldly, bit his finger, and the Luohe pen was stained with blood, as if it was alive. The blood-colored light spots scattered into the sky, turned into a rain of flowers, and fell freely. A layer of magnificent red roses enveloped the sky above Richan Town. It's as beautiful as a painting with red makeup, and like peach blossoms, blooming luxuriantly in the night sky.
Zheng Xiu sipped his fingers proudly: "Is it enough this time?"
For a moment, everyone, including Xie Luohe and Xie Yunliu, were stunned.
"fool."
Xie Luohe stared blankly, then suddenly smiled, lifted Zheng Xiu on his shoulders, and disappeared in front of everyone like lightning.
"couple……"
The elder was about to say goodbye as husband and wife, but there was no sign of the couple in front of Xie Yunliu.
After being stunned, Xie Yunliu laughed and waved his hands: "No, no, no!" He rubbed his eyes, turned around, and said loudly: "I, Xie Yunliu, recognize this brother-in-law! It's all gone! It's all gone tonight!" Get drunk and then rest!"
…
inside the room.
boom! Xie Luohe threw Zheng Xiu on the bed and stripped him clean in the blink of an eye.
Xie Luohe looked like he was going to fight hard, which shocked Zheng Xiu so much that he sobered up and said, "Are you serious?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xie Luohe suddenly started crying and bit Zheng Xiu, drawing blood.
"Fake, fake! Everything is fake! What are you afraid of!"
Xie Luohe cried loudly and suddenly laughed strangely: "I not only want to be your wife."
Zheng Xiu was finally released from his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, a drop of crystal clear tears fell on his lips.
Xie Luohe murmured: "The dream is fake, everything is real! You will eventually forget, you will forget..."
"So I decided to become a...mystery."
"You will always wonder why. You will never be able to solve it, figure it out, or guess it. I, Xie Luohe, want to be your destiny, a mystery that will never be solved."
"Life after life..."
"Gongsun Mo, you are an unsolvable mystery!"
