Under the inky sky, the pale moonlight fell quietly on the plain.
Leaning alone on the rocks beside the bonfire, Li tightened the leather robe covering his body.
Although his life in Chang'an was hard, it was fulfilling. Before, he always complained about the unfairness of the world and the injustice of people's hearts, and he also felt resentful towards this city. However, it was not until after he left that the young man realized that he could not let go of his feelings for this city.
.
In the old house on Lane 23 near the lake, his mother would always pat him on the head and joke: "Xiao Qi has grown taller again. When you reach the top of the roof, you will go to the Daming Palace to serve as an honorary guard. Saints like it the most."
You are such a handsome young man."
During the lantern night of the Lantern Festival, Uncle Sun would always buy his favorite crispy cheese, hold a bag full of mountain products in one hand, and hold the sika lanterns he had begged for in the other, laughing non-stop.
In the old house of Chongrenfang, the third brother would always hold himself and count the stars in the sky. He would always ask stupidly: "Is this the Milky Way? Is it what separates the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" Whenever this time, the third brother would
They would hold their little hands and smile and say: "This is the Milky Way. When my little Qi grows up, we will build a big boat to carry Weaver Girl across the river so that they can be reunited."
But these things gradually became distant and illusive. The young man felt his head becoming increasingly dull, and his eyelids gradually became puffy. The scene in his eyes suddenly became hazy, and everything he had seen before eventually turned into a wisp of smoke.
The light smoke did not dissipate with the wind, but gradually condensed, and finally transformed into a human form. The man slowly turned around, and what appeared in front of him was A Tian wearing a green floral skirt and a blushing face.
!
"Dang Dang, Dang Dang. It's time to eat omelette!~~~ Damn it, Xiao Qi, get up quickly." A Tian knocked on a black iron pot beside her, with a pair of sweet dimples on her cheeks.
He forced himself to rub the circles under his eyes and sat up, only to see A Tian suddenly turn around and run out of the teahouse, towards Qujiang.
She entered the square gate, ran and ran by the Qujiang Pool, and finally stopped in front of a huge stone, looked back and smiled.
"Brother Xiao Qi, come and chase me!"
The young man responded and stepped forward to chase after him. However, no matter how hard he chased, A Tian seemed unable to catch up. Every time he took a step forward, she took a step back. The distance between him and A Tian never seemed to change.
"Keke" the girl covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You are such an idiot!"
"Ah!" Li Kuo's mind buzzed, and the image of his mother flashed through his mind.
Suddenly dark clouds gathered in the sky, thunder roared, and in an instant a torrential rain fell. The strong wind carried gravel and hit the young man's cheek, leaving bloody marks.
The spring water in Qujiang Pool spread out and stirred up waves. The pool water crossed the river bank, carrying a howling cold wind and slapped the young man's ankles.
"Brother Xiao Qi, run quickly. Leave me alone, run west, keep running west!" A Tian was trapped on the boulder and had nowhere to escape.
"Run west, remember, keep running and don't look back!" A huge wave hit, and the girl was instantly submerged in the torrent, and the echoes echoed in the young man's ears.
"No, don't!" The young man roared, roaring, and ran towards the boulder with all his strength. He wanted to save A Tian, and save the woman he loved most! The young man was running with all his strength, but suddenly he felt his feet weaken and collapsed to the ground.
"Ah!" The young man stood up in shock, gasping for air. It's a dream! It's just a dream!
Lines of raindrops fell on the young man's cheeks, moistening his eyes and fading away the dust.
"Oh, it's just a dream, it's just a dream." The young man tightened his leather bag tightly and huddled in a corner, giggling to himself like a child. The bonfire beside him was sparkling and dancing, as if it would be engulfed by a waterfall at any time.
Heavy rain wiped it out.
"General, please go to the cave over there to take shelter from the rain." Dou Qing ran over and picked up Li Kuo and ran towards the west cave.
"Huh? It's raining. Have you asked the caravan to go to the valley to take shelter?" The young man followed Dou Qing and ran wildly in the heavy rain. He was shocked by the cold rain and gradually returned to reality.
"Brother Xianyu has been asked to send someone to notify him. I believe that under the organization of Brother Guan, they will rush here soon." Dou Qing put a felt coat on Li Kuo and tightened the lace around his neck.
The two of them stumbled into the cave at the west end and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahem, this damn weather is really damnable. God really says that if he changes his attitude, he will change his attitude!" Dou Qing took off his robe, twisted it into a ball, and squeezed out the water.
"Brother Dou, are Escort You and the others on the south side of the goods city?" The young man looked at the traders running away in embarrassment outside the cave, frowned, and suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, they are outside the cargo city. Escort You said they would be responsible for keeping watch, but I couldn't resist and he obeyed." Dou Qing took out the flint he carried with him, rubbed it lightly, and ignited a few dead trees.
The orange fire light illuminated the entire cave, and the flames flickered and danced, making it look like daylight for a moment.
"Oh no, the terrain in the south is low-lying, and the rain is coming so fast again. I'm afraid they are in danger!" Li Kuo patted his thigh and said anxiously.
"No, they are escorts all year round, so they should be very alert. If there is a heavy rain, they should be able to escape in time." Dou Qing twisted it hard to squeeze out the remaining moisture in the robe.
"I'm going to see if something goes wrong with them, how can I explain it to Brother Ma?" Li Kuo was not at ease, and stood up to go out of the cave to visit.
"General, please rest here for a while and get warmed up. I will definitely bring the two bodyguards back to you intact." How could Dou Qing let Li Kuo go out to visit in the heavy rain?
He put on his robe and ran wildly into the dark night sky
...
"Cough, cough." Ni Xin coughed up the rainwater she had swallowed. Her cheeks looked particularly pale under the light of the bonfire.
What Li Kuo was most worried about happened. Because Youlong and Ni Xin slept on the south side of the low-lying cargo city, they were easily hit by the rain. Youlong got up at night to relieve himself in the woods and avoided the storm.
But Ni Xin was not so lucky. It seems unbelievable to say that it may be because he was too tired during the day. Ni Xin fell into a drowsy sleep at night and was not aware of the rumbling thunder and heavy rain. This storm
It came so violently that the rainwater poured in along the cargo city. Because the cargo boxes and packages were piled too tightly, the rainwater had no place to flow out. It accumulated more and more, and in an instant it was knee-high. Due to the two people's strong demands,
While keeping watch on the south side, Dou Qing, who was in charge of sentry duty, canceled the military sentry position on this side. Although You Long rushed back as soon as the storm came, by the time he reached the south side cargo city, the rain had already reached Ni Xin's neck.
..
Li Kuo knelt on one knee, placed Ni Xin flat on his lap, and patted his back hard.
"Brother Dou, squeeze Escort Ni's abdomen hard and follow my rhythm!" The two of them cooperated with each other and did more than ten sets in a row.
"Pfft..." Ni Xin suddenly stood up and spit out a mouthful of rainwater, then slowly opened her eyes.
"Hot, hot..." Ni Xin murmured with a faint mosquito buzz, and her whole body shivered.
"How could it be hot after being soaked in water for such a long time?" Dou Qing was very puzzled and asked suspiciously.
Li Kuo laid Ni Xin flat on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief. "When a person is soaked in water for a long time, his body will start to feel cold and trembling. If you don't change the soaked clothes in time, after a while, you will feel all over the body.
If it is hot and dry, it should be a high fever at this time. If you do not change clothes in time and take measures to warm up, and let the cold attack your heart and pulse, your life may be in danger!" (Note 1)
"Then hurry up and change Brother Ni's clothes. My coat is almost toasted, so I can put it on for him!" Dou Qing said and went to change Ni Xin's clothes.
"Go, go away... don't come here, don't..." Ni Xin saw Dou Qing walking in front of her, waving her arms, and after murmuring for a while, she fainted again.
"I'll do it!"
Li Kuo took the clothes handed by Dou Qing and placed them on the bluestone aside. He gently removed Ni Xin's complicated clothes layer by layer.
After Ni Xin's underwear was stripped off, the young man was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
Under the jumping firelight, the graceful white jade body like mutton-fat jade stands out with the faint fragrance of spring peaks...
Note 1: This is Liuyun’s personal experience... Everyone, please be careful. Change dry clothes immediately after being exposed to rain, and then use an electric heater or something. Otherwise, it is really dangerous. A fever of over 40 degrees is not a problem.
Little things...
ps: Have you thought of this scene? Isn’t it very exciting? O. Henry’s style of writing has changed, and the second female lead has finally appeared. Is Xiao Qi still lonely? Wow, haha, am I very interesting? Please collect it.
