Alvin looked at the rotating winch in the center of the deck with emotion. He thought that people were like these gears, driven by fate to turn, and he didn't know when to start turning and when to stop.
The airship sailed away from the sky above Tewardedan in an understatement and headed north.
It was already past noon when the green grass and the herds of cattle and sheep on the Zham Plateau came into view. Alvin enjoyed the refreshing and cool wind above the plateau, and looked at the vast plains under the bright and sunny sun. The feeling of freedom washed away the depression in his heart.
When the cattle and sheep saw the airship floating in the sky, they looked up from time to time, as if they were thinking that they had not seen the guests on this grassland for a long time.
The shepherd boy, on the other hand, was very happy when he saw the empty boat. Regardless of whether the people on the deck could see it or not, he waved his hat at them as much as he wanted.
When the long shadow of the airship passed by the group of horses that were drinking water, the horses followed the shadow and started running like joy.
"Green grass meets the sky in the long fields, and galloping horses carry the wind across the sky." Alvin couldn't help but praise as he looked at the thousands of galloping horses below.
He wanted to talk about poetry, but when he thought that the men scattered all over the deck were men who didn't understand poetry, he shook his head helplessly. Kui Qing was also sleepy in the driver's seat, and no one really heard what he was mumbling at this time.
"Where are the Onian people? Why haven't you gotten up yet?" He was a little confused and walked toward the stern of the ship. "I haven't seen anyone all morning."
When he opened the door to the room and saw the sleepy princess, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought I left you in Tewadedan."
"You woke me up when you got up in the morning." Onian said dissatisfiedly, sitting up, hiding her face in the disheveled snowy hair, squinting her eyes, obviously not wanting to see any ray of light coming through. of light. She was currently wearing a thin silk pajamas, very loose, and her shoulders were exposed without any scruples.
"Then you don't have to catch up on your sleep until now, right?" Alvin smiled.
"I've been listening to the 'boom, boom, boom, boom' sound all morning. Can I fall asleep?" Onian complained without raising her head.
"Haha, are they making so much noise moving things?" Alvin then gloated.
Onian ignored him and buried her face in the quilt.
"It's time to get up, we've arrived at the Zham Plateau." Alvin walked to the window and opened the curtains.
"Ah..." As soon as Aonian saw a lot of sunlight coming in, she quickly covered herself with a quilt and let out a scream.
"Are you not interested in the endless grassland of the Zham Plateau? Or are you running away from something?" Alvin sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the woman curled up under the quilt with interest.
"Eh? What do you mean?" O'Ni'an let go of a seam and looked at him curiously with a pair of golden eyes.
"Stop pretending to be stupid with me." Alvin said, staring into her eyes.
Onian looked at him carefully through the gap and closed the quilt again.
"It seems I'm still unwilling." Alvin looked at her and sighed.
Onian didn't make a sound.
Alvin came out of the room without saying anything more.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
After driving for an hour or two over the Zamu Plateau, where cattle and sheep were seen in the wind-swept grass, a cold wind blew, making Alvin shiver.
"Brother, we are about to leave the Zamu Plateau. There are big mountains in front of us. Let everyone wrap up their coats and windbreakers." Kui Qing stood in the driver's seat and shouted to Alvin. After she reminded Alvin, she raised the windshield in front of the driver's seat two more steps, then flipped the gear lever at hand, and the airship began to move at full speed.
Somehow, the sky was getting a little cloudy at this time.
Alvin saw Kui Qing's father running out of the room, holding some thick clothes in his hands, which were obviously for the little girl. He thought to himself: "Kui Qing's father is so afraid of meeting me. He hides in the room and doesn't come out when nothing happens, and he's not afraid to hold it in."
"Hey, stop talking nonsense there. Hurry up and put on your winter clothes. Wear as thick a layer as you can. We are going to enter the mountains soon." Alvin ordered everyone.
Xia Ye and Qiao Zhi were both hot-blooded young men with strong tempers. They were originally wearing very thin clothes, but they didn't feel too cold in the early spring. After hearing Alvin's instructions, these people didn't take it seriously at first, but after being blown by the biting cold wind, they began to rush below the deck to put on their cotton coats and windbreakers.
Alvin also ran back to the room and saw Onian still sleeping on the bed.
"Get up," Alvin sighed as he looked at the figure O'Nian left for him. "Take another look. Leaving the Zamu Plateau is equivalent to leaving the Yafei Kingdom."
Onian remained unmoved.
Alvin became inexplicably angry, threw himself on the bed, and picked up Onian, including herself and the quilt. This should be the origin of the princess hug.
"What are you doing!" O'Nian shouted to him in panic and embarrassment, still trying her best to push someone's chest away with both hands, as if she had never learned magic, "Let me down! Let me down !”
But Alvin had a straight face and ignored her, and just walked out of the room with the princess in his arms.
Onian couldn't push him, so she let him go. She crossed her arms and tilted her head to one side angrily.
Everyone on the deck looked at the actions of these two people, and they were all a little stunned.
Onian glanced at the white snow between the peaks and said, "The wind is howling and the sky is dark. It's really a suitable weather to say goodbye."
She curled her lips after speaking.
"Pinch the quilt tighter on your chest to prevent the cold wind from getting in." Alvin said seriously.
O'Nian pretended not to listen, still looking at the vast scene of mountains. After a while, she raised her face and looked at him, "What's next - wandering around the world, thousands of miles away?"
Alvin did not lower his head to look at the girl in his arms, but looked at these vast mountains covered with snow all year round without saying a word.
"The lonely sail is flying towards the sky, and the snow on thousands of mountains is like you coming. I can travel thousands of miles away from home, so why not fear the vicissitudes of life." After Alvin pondered, the poem came out.
After reading aloud, Onian nodded with a smile, her depression relieved a little, and she even pinched his chest, "What? Is Shengxue's long hair bothering you?"
She naturally knew that "like Jun Lai" and "Yun Yan Gai" were teasing her.
While expressing his feelings, Alvin also brought in Onian's snow-covered hair. The implication of this poem is that since he has left the country thousands of miles away, it is better to put aside the hatred between the family and the country for a while. He traveled north freely, and she didn't have to worry about the color of her temples changing anyway.
"The lonely sail is flying towards the sky, and the snow on thousands of mountains is coming..." O'Nian repeated this sentence, and suddenly looked at Alvin with a smile and asked: "It is related to the snow in Hengling Qianmo, Ao Hong is still free of heart. Compared to Han', doesn't it look a lot more grand?"
When Alvin heard this, he almost lost his strength to hold her, and the proud smile on his face instantly froze.
"You could hear it even from such a distance?" Alvin asked in surprise.
Onian wanted to say what was spread to her ears afterwards, but when the words came to her lips, she turned away and said, "You don't care."
"I heard about it after I returned to Salyuhi. It was said that the count's only son was very talented. Tell me honestly, how many girls have you deceived with this trick?" She raised her eyebrows and said narrowly, "But you are so affectionate. Is the method of selecting girls too simple?"
Alvin smiled and shook his head, not knowing how to answer.
But Onian was smiling, her eyes red.
"I don't know when I can come back..." She closed her eyes and sighed softly.
Alvin looked at her expression quietly at this moment, and felt sad. He let go of one arm and let her stand up.
Onian had just settled down when Alvin wrapped his arms around her waist through the brocade quilt.
"You..." She looked at him at a loss.
He didn't press his lips directly, but left a knuckle distance for her.
She hesitated and kissed him.
In a moment of forgetfulness, the young couple flew out of the country and embarked on a journey north.
