Just as the second month was coming to an end, Lu Xinyi was brushing the horses in the stable in the evening. A man behind him slowly walked forward and pulled a horse away without saying a word.
In the past, the people who led the horses were the attendants of each courtyard, but she had never seen this one before. He looked very unfamiliar, so she stopped the man:
"Hey , who are you? Which master’s command do you get?”
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Lu Xinyi standing aside with a brush still dripping with water. .
You don’t know until you look back. When you look back, Lu Xinyi felt that this person looked very familiar. He thought about it carefully for a long time, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.
The man tied the horse again, stepped forward, and looked Xin Yi up and down: "Are you the new stable boy?"
"Yes." Lu Xinyi was not inferior, and also looked up and down. After sizing him up, he asked, "Who are you?"
The man laughed, saluted and said, "I am the world. My servant is also new, so you don’t know me.”
“Do you have the title of Prince?”
“Of course,” the man said from his arms. Taking out a waist card, it turned out to be the prince's waist card. Lu Xinyi said nothing, turned around and started riding again.
Unexpectedly, the man did not walk away. Instead, he followed Lu Xinyi, leaning against the pillar of the stable and watching her. When she finished brushing one side and turned to brush the other side, the man said:
"I heard that someone died in this stable not long ago. Aren't you afraid?"
Lu Xinyi only felt annoyed: "Death is like a lamp going out. I am not afraid of the living. What do I have to say about the dead?" "It's so scary."
The man laughed loudly after hearing this: "You are a little snake demon who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods."
Hearing this, Lu Xinyi was silent for a while, and then. He straightened up, put his hands on his hips and said to the man: "Aren't you holding the horse for the prince? Why, instead of doing your own business, why are you disturbing me?"
The man had no choice but to smile and nod, turned around and left. As soon as he took off the horse's reins, he shouted to Xin Yi:
"Little snake demon, don't brush the horse at night. The wind is cool at night and the horse is easy to ride." Catch a cold!"
After that, he got on his horse and rode away. Xin Yi slapped his forehead: That's right. I just thought I could sleep in tomorrow morning, but I tortured this horse for nothing!
But in the next few days, the man came to lead the horse, which caused the horse to spend extra time on feed. While feeding the horse, Lu Xinyi cursed in a low voice:
"Let you Ride, let you ride, a dignified prince of the Duke's family, he only thinks about riding horses and hunting all day long, and does not do his job. He only wants to win by lying down, and there will be no future in keeping it!"
"Then you might as well tell me how you can be promising?" A faint word came from behind him. Lu Xinyi was frightened. When he turned around and saw that it was that kid, he couldn't help but caressed his chest and said:
" You don't make any noise when you walk!"
"You are obviously too focused on scolding!"
Lu Xinyi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and left there. Horse stable: "Don't ride this one today, it will be tired too. There are so many horses here, why don't you change it to another one so that the rain and dew can get wet!"
The man was startled after hearing this. , and then laughed for a long time, even out of breath. He bent over and put his hands on his knees: "You are so young, what are you talking about!"
"Wha...what?" She was a little shy.
The man stood up straight and looked at her with a smile: "What's your name?"
"Xin Yi."
"She has the same name as the princess of the previous dynasty, so courageous Not small." "I'm not from Jingguo. I'm just a snake in the mountains." Lu Xinyi lied casually.
The man nodded: "My name is Zijing, and I can promise you not to ride this horse today, but you also have to agree to my request."
Looking at the tired horse, Lu Xinyi felt soft-hearted for a moment, Then he raised his eyebrows and asked: "What request?"
"Today you and I ride on a horse and go out for fun. The sun is setting, and it’s time to watch the sunset.”
She was a little suspicious: “Didn’t you ask the prince to take the horse? Wouldn’t the prince blame you if you took the horse out of the house without permission?”< br>
Zijing laughed heartily, shook her head, grabbed Xin Yi's sleeve, and took her to the stables to choose a horse.
One horse passed by, and he said with a smile: "Which horse here you want to ride today, I will ride it. I am here to walk the horse for him on the order of the prince. The prince is busy with affairs, so how can I take care of it?" Come on... the rain and dew will both be wet!"
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue playfully and looked at Xin Yi.
Xin Yi pointed to the piebald horse at the end of the stable. Its coat was not very bright, because there were two black spots on its eyes, which made it look particularly ugly. No one wanted to ride it.
"Just that one, it rarely goes out."
Zijing glanced at it, confused at first, but then he understood. He took out a pair of gloves from his belly, put them on his hands, and went to lead the horse out.
Lu Xinyi asked: "Which one should I ride?"
Zijing said: "I only have the right to walk one horse. It seems that you can only ride on this one with me today." !”
She hesitated, but heard Zijing say again: “But don’t worry, I have a hidden disease since I was a child and cannot have skin contact with others. If you touch it, you will get a big rash all over your body and your skin will ulcerate and die!"
Lu Xinyi was shocked: "Then you still have to ride on the same horse with me!"
Zijing frowned! He raised his eyebrows and said pitifully: "I can't help it. I'm really lonely with this strange disease, but it's okay with my clothes on. Come on up!"
Seeing that he was really pitiful and that he had agreed to the offer, Lu Xinyi glanced at the tired horse, fearing that it would be sick and that the inhuman Duke would be killed by it, so he stretched out his hand and put it on Zijingdai. gloved hands.
As soon as she turned over, she sat in front of the horse. The two of them rode fast horses and rushed directly from the backyard to the forest farm. When passing by the back door, the doorman didn't even glance at the token and saw the afterimage of the two of them coming from behind. The courtyard door flashed past.
After passing the forest farm, the setting sun was already fading. The two came to a small cliff and saw a golden glow reflecting on the river. The river seemed to be burning, and the floating light danced under the gold. It's a deeper flame.
Lu Xinyi came down with Zijing’s hand. Both of them were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them. They saw that the sky in the distance was transforming layer by layer, as if it was dyed with paint, and the sea was flowing across the sea. , everything is lost at this moment Its original color exudes a trace of life's last reflection. Just waiting for the afterglow to burn out, Xin Yi couldn't help but say:
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk."
Zijing laughed: "How can you memorize such depressing poems at such a young age!"
"Even such a blazing sun cannot sleep, let alone a person or a country. ? Rise in the east and set in the west, life and death, origin and destruction, are the essence of all things. Looking down on the rise and fall may be a kind of indifferent open-mindedness. "
After hearing this, Zijing was silent for a long time, then smiled and said: "Whether it is indifferent or rational, maybe this is the fate of all things. The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. If it were you, little Xinyi. Hua'er, will you believe in fate and accept it?"
