Chapter 22 Losing oneself
The sunset,
the last ray of light also sank below the horizon. Zhang Qingyun blushed and looked at the pot of porridge in front of her, or rather, she didn’t know what it was. Anyway, it was so dark that I couldn't tell what had been inside.
The former eldest lady of an official family was determined to be a self-reliant person who could bear hardships and stand hard work, so she took the initiative to make porridge and kang cakes, while Li Dachui decided to prepare some game to make the dinner richer. .
Li Dachui, who came back, looked at the coke in the pot, and the muscles on his face twitched.
It doesn't matter if the porridge is boiled. The key is the special cooking utensils specially made for him. At this moment, I don't even look at it. Based on Li Dachui's experience, I'm afraid it won't be clean.
The eldest lady looked up at him, her face full of grievances. Before Li Dachui could speak, tears were already falling down one by one, and she bit her lips again, stubbornly refusing to let go. I cried, and under Li Dachui's gaze, I silently took the black pot and went to the stream to wash it.
Li Dachui sighed, and the words he was about to mock were choked back into his stomach.
I always feel that in this situation, it would be too unkind to add insult to injury.
It's a pity that my set of tableware is going to be scrapped. Without this one, it will be meaningless to use it.
Carrying a rabbit and a pheasant, he walked under Zhang Qingyun and squatted down.
The two of them silently washed the pot and the other killed the chicken and plucked its feathers.
When Li Dachui roasted a chicken and a pheasant until they were fragrant, Zhang Qing went there and polished the stew pot with a smooth stone.
“Forget it, it’s not a precious thing, come and eat!” Li Dachui shouted.
No matter what, this stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat are still good.
It is extremely rare for a young lady from an official family to have such a temperament.
"It's broken!" Zhang Qingyun, who came back with his head lowered, put the stew pot on the ground. Li Dachui took a look. Sure enough, at this time, the black mark was not wiped clean, but the original smooth The places were polished to reveal traces of marks.
It’s all gaudy and looks increasingly unsightly, not as dark as before.
"No, let's eat!" He tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to the other party. Li Dachui took off the rabbit's head and gnawed it. After a few bites, he took a sip of wine.
Zhang Qingyun stared at him intently.
"What's wrong?" Li Dachui asked.
Zhang Qingyun shook her head.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Dachui suddenly laughed without any warning.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? I will compensate you. I know this tableware is a set. If one is broken, the others will be useless. I will definitely compensate you in the future. You won't let me lose money," Zhang Qingyun said angrily.
“No, no! I just suddenly thought of a joke!”
"What joke is so funny?" Zhang Qingyun said bitterly.
"I thought you were just going to say. Hahaha." Li Dachui laughed so hard: "I thought you were going to say that Tutu is so cute, how can you eat Tutu."
Li Dachui laughed. He couldn't stand up straight, but Zhang Qingyun looked at him like an idiot.
Finally, Li Dachui felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and slowly stopped smiling, quacking like a duck.
"Isn't rabbit just a kind of meat? What's not cute? This joke is not funny at all!" Zhang Qingyun took a hard bite of the rabbit leg meat in his hand, "You If you want to make me happy, you can change it to another joke.”
Li Dachui took a sip of wine and a sip of rabbit head.
Well, this woman is not cute at all.
The two finished the meal in silence, and the weather turned completely dark.
The weather in this season is like this. Not long after the sun sets, God can’t wait to pull up the dark curtain.
Zhang Qingyun stood up and walked towards the tent.
"Miss Qingyun, aren't you even willing to give in?"
"Why are you giving in?" Zhang Qingyun turned around and asked.
"Let me sleep in the tent while you keep watch outside?" Li Dachui said loudly.
"If I freeze to death, wouldn't it increase your sunk costs? If I freeze to death, you will lose everything." Zhang Qingyun said seriously: "And , if my father establishes a foothold outside the customs and becomes a figure again, then you will not only lose your capital!"
Li Dachui laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, I learned quickly. . Come to think of it, I really have to keep watching outside!”
"This is inevitable!" Zhang Qingyun turned around, smiled, and opened the curtain to get in.
Behind him, Li Dachui said to himself: "Sometimes, being a bad guy is a good experience. Well, I have never been a gentleman. Taking advantage of others' danger is not the first time I have done it. So what if I do it this time, no one will see me in this wilderness, it won’t damage my reputation, Hehehe!”
He smiled extremely obscenely, even lewdly.
Zhang Qingyun's body suddenly froze, and it took a while for him to relax amidst Li Dachui's loud laughter, and he ducked into the tent, but he still looked a little staggered.
"That's it, that's it! Miss Qingyun, sleep better at night, I will keep vigil for you!"
This last sentence is extremely long.
In the tent, Zhang Qingyun punched the ground hard, knowing that the other party was just joking, but tonight, she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep either.
This horse thief has a really strong desire for revenge.
Half-leaning and half-lying on the leather mattress, Zhang Qingyun kept reminding herself not to fall asleep.
What if that guy sneaks in?
That's a horse thief.
Even if you have a good character, you are still a horse thief!
The song of the horse thief sounded outside again, but this time the tune was not heroic at all, but sounded extremely sad. The content of the song seems to be about two people who love each other but cannot get together after several lives. Zhang Qingyun burst into tears when she heard it. Unknowingly, I fell into that story and started thinking about this love story.
Then she fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, the first thing she saw was still the sunlight coming in through the gaps in the curtains, which made her unable to open her eyes.
Didn’t you call yourself?
There is no breakfast today either.
It seems that he was really offended yesterday.
Zhang Qingyun coughed slightly, indicating that he was awake outside.
At the level of the person outside, he would be aware of the slightest movement from me. He is probably angry because he has ignored me for so long.
After coughing several times, there was still no movement, and Zhang Qingyun was also annoyed.
How can a grown man be so petty?
Lifting the curtain fiercely, he stepped out in one big step.
Then she was dumbfounded.
Outside, there was no Li Dachui.
But there stood a fat middle-aged man in Tsing Yi.
Even though the fat man tried very hard to shrink his big belly, the effect was not good.
Zhang Qingyun estimated that he lowered his head and could not see the toes.
Behind the fat man, there were actually two rows of young men also dressed in Tsing Yi standing neatly.
Zhang Qingyun suddenly fell into a daze.
Li Dachui sold himself while he was asleep?
This was her first thought.
Before she had a second thought, the fat man had already bent down deeply: "Miss Qingyun, are you awake? My name is Li Kaixin."
Zhang Qingyun looked up.
Several carriages were parked not far from the tent. Outside one of the carriages, two women were busy preparing something, which seemed to be food. Just looking at the dozens of dishes and dishes placed on the table next to him, Zhang Qingyun couldn't believe his eyes.
These should be all illusions. In fact, I haven't woken up yet, I am still in a dream.
She reached out and pinched herself.
It hurts,
It hurts so much.
"Wait for the girl to wash up!" Li Kaixin's words rang in his ears.
Then, a man in Tsing Yi brought a copper basin, and a man in Tsing Yi brought a mouthwash cup and green salt.
"Li Dachui!" Zhang Qingyun screamed.
With a bang, the window of a carriage was suddenly pushed open.
“Who, who called me?”
Looking at the sleepy head and somewhat confused face, Zhang Qingyun still breathed a long sigh of relief, even though he knew that the other party must be pretending.
Glare.
Li Dachui smiled coquettishly, and his whole body slid out of the car window as if he had no bones.
"Ah, Miss Qingyun, they came here last night. They heard you sleeping soundly and snoring, so they didn't wake you up! I asked them to stay outside your tent, so they came up too. The carriage went to bed, and you know that I haven't slept well these days!"
Li Dachui said seriously.
Zhang Qingyun's silver teeth were almost broken.
Did you snore again yesterday?
Did these people hear it?
"Miss Qingyun slept soundly last night without snoring!" Li Kaixin smiled like a Maitreya Buddha with a fat face, "Our young master likes to joke."
< br>Zhang Qingyun was immediately fond of Li Kaixin.
Who said the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?
This Li Kaixin is much more serious than Li Dachui.
"Miss Qingyun, please wash up! Then you can have breakfast. If you walk quickly along the way, you can almost reach Tai'an City today. This time, the young master has been away from home for half a year, and his family is... I miss you so much!" Li Kaixin's voice was very nice, waxy and soft, but not girly. Instead, it had an inexplicable magnetism. Anyway, it sounded better than Li Dachui's broken gong voice.
Li Dachui’s singing has nothing but far-reaching artistic conception.
Zhang Qingyun walked to the copper basin and prepared to wash her face.
Then, she saw her embarrassing appearance with messy hair and shit in the corners of her eyes.
The whole person suddenly felt bad.
She looked up at the seven or eight people in front of her.
Except for Li Kaixin’s smiling face, the other eight young people were all very serious.
After swallowing hard, Zhang Qingyun began to wash up.
This kind of thing is quite familiar. When I was still in Chang'an, when my father was still working, wasn't he always served like this?
