Chapter 44: Sleeping and Bathing
The donkey's feet were strong, but they needed to rest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Huo Xiaoshan estimated that he had also walked 100 miles south on this day, and when he saw the red sun sinking in the west, the birds returning to the forest, and there was no village in front of him, he flicked his whip, "hold, hold" in his mouth, and drove the donkey cart into a forest on the side of the road.
He tied the reins to a small tree, and he took out the goose knife from the false spirit card to find the place where the grass was lush, cut a lot, and threw it in front of the donkey, and let the donkey rest and graze, but when he looked up, he saw that Murong Pei was sitting in front of the canopy and looking at him, looking like he wanted to say something.
Huo Xiaoshan was going to pretend not to see it in his heart, but his mouth still sounded: "What's wrong with you?" I couldn't help but scold myself for not being angry, but I didn't know that at this time, I and Murong Pei were already fifteen years old, and we had reached the age when love first blossomed.
Murong Pei's eyes were a little evasive, and the way he hugged Huo Xiaoshan's arm and yelled during the day was obviously different, but he still gritted his teeth and asked Huo Xiaoshan, "How can we sleep at night?" ”
After Murong Pei said this, he immediately regretted it in his heart, and secretly blamed himself, asking why he slept with him, why did he add the two of us in front, it sounds too ambiguous.
Huo Xiaoshan said: "Why do you sleep?" Lying down to sleep, it sleeps standing up. He pointed back to the donkey that was grazing.
"You?!" Murong Pei was about to say the next sentence, but Huo Xiaoshan choked back.
The psychology of Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei is very interesting, if they don't say anything, the atmosphere between the two of them is really a bit ambiguous, but as soon as they speak, the subtle atmosphere does not exist, and the two of them become lively
Huo Xiaoshan kicked his feet on the ground, bent his knees, and jumped directly onto the donkey cart, facing the canopy, only then did he understand what Murong Pei meant.
The donkey cart said that it was not big, it was not small, one person was lying in it and was rich, and the two were squeezed when lying in it, he couldn't help but think of the softness he felt in his back when he carried Murong Pei, and Murong Pei asked how to sleep naturally This is the meaning of this indescribable meaning.
Having said that, even if you don't squeeze, you can't lie side by side with Murong Peina.
Huo Xiaoshan scratched his head involuntarily, but jumped out of the car again, walked from the front of the car to the back of the car, and walked back to the front of the car from the back of the car, Murong Pei stared at Huo Xiaoshan with big eyes, not knowing what he was doing.
"The car is so big, you can sleep inside, I'll sleep outside." Huo Xiaoshan said seriously.
"How's that going to work? It was so cold outside, it froze me to death that day. The day Murong Pei said naturally meant the night when Huo Xiaoshan attacked the gold mine.
"yes, it's pretty cold outside, why don't I sleep inside and you sleep outside?" Huo Xiaoshan said narrowly.
"That's not going to work either." Murong Pei snorted and finally said it.
"Haha, I have a way!" Huo Xiaoshan was very happy to see Murong Pei's deflated but unwilling to suffer, and couldn't help laughing.
"You sleep in the back of the car, I sleep in the front of the car, we can't sleep with our heads facing each other, I measured it with my feet just now, this canopy is long enough, so we don't have to ......" Huo Xiaoshan said excitedly, but after all, he braked the car in time, and did not say anything that made Murong Pei blush.
Murong Pei glanced at Huo Xiaoshan, but a smile appeared on his face, he happily got into the canopy, lined up the two pillows front and back, and lay down in his own position without a ladylike image, stretched his waist comfortably, but muttered in his mouth: "It's dead, this broken car." ”
Fu looked up at his feet again, right on the door of the canopy, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
After lying down for a while, seeing that Huo Xiaoshan did not get in, he got up again, got out of the canopy, and saw that Huo Xiaoshan had set up a fire next to the car and was roasting a hare bought from the county town.
By the time the two of them had finished their dinner, it was getting dark, and the fire was gone, but the breeze was blowing, and the coals of the fire would glow bright red.
Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei were lying on their heads, but Huo Xiaoshan's two feet still stretched out of the tent, and the donkey cart was still a little shorter after all.
The board of the car was covered with a mattress bought from the county seat, and the two of them were covered with quilts, in Murong Pei's opinion, this was already a life of a fairy compared to sleeping in the wild.
Dinner was dry food and roast rabbit meat with condiments, and the salty food tasted very happy, Murong Pei felt the warmth brought by the cotton mattress to his body, thinking about his life in the city, thinking about running around in the mountains and forests, but real life gave her a dream-like feeling.
Although she lives with her mother, she is also a member of the upper class, with servants and cars at home, and she has received a good education since she was a child, but she has not been infected with the common diseases of upper-class girls.
It's just that the mother finally left a lonely self in this world because of illness, she can't forget the busyness of the seven aunts and eight aunts who turned the corner in front of and behind her, and what she wants is nothing more than the family business owned by an orphan girl.
Fortunately, the uncle who was a big official in Nanjing got the news of the death of his only sister and sent Zhou Liebao to lead people to the northeast to pick him up and return to Nanjing, but because he took the jade seal of the puppet emperor of Manchukuo and began his life of being hunted down, and now he is sleeping on a donkey cart with a boy his age, how incredible is this world!
Thinking of Huo Xiaoshan, Murong Pei felt a warm feeling in his heart, in the face of such a big difficulty in his opinion, in the eyes of this boy, he was nothing in the eyes of this boy, he was quiet and lively, he was enthusiastic and rational, and took himself on a road homecoming.
Although she doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, there is still hope, and it is this hope that makes her know that she is not the unluckiest person in the world, and she is willing to fight and fight with this boy for the sake of those who are more unfortunate than her in this world.
The heads of the two men were so close together that they were almost next to each other, after all, the donkey cart was only that big.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't speak, Murong Pei thought that he must be asleep, he must be tired after a day of driving the donkey cart, Murong Pei could even hear Huo Xiaoshan's calm and rhythmic gentle breathing, she felt an unprecedented stability, and fell asleep with a faint smile on her face.
Actually, Huo Xiaoshan was not asleep, he was chanting Buddha.
Just when he and Murong Pei lay down head to head, Huo Xiaoshan felt his heart skip a beat involuntarily.
Huo Xiaoshan even felt that Murong Pei's hair was sticking to his hair, but Huo Xiaoshan was not Murong Pei after all, he began to quietly recite the Buddha name again, the Buddha name one by one, the words were clear, and he didn't suppress the thought with that trace of thought, but still interrupted with a Buddha name, the Buddha name was vividly in his heart, and he quickly transferred himself into that state of clear and comfortable Zen.
People in the world don't know much about chanting Buddha, and most of them are just hearsay, but they don't know that this chanting Buddha has great wisdom, and people who like the artistic conception of Zen always want to think about calming down, but they can't calm down without knowing this thought.
If the heart is not moving, it is not Zen, and the seemingly simple Buddha name is actually broad and profound, which is an indescribable wonderland, and the Buddha said that this realm is called the destruction of the mind and the heart of the word, that is, the language and consciousness cannot be expressed, so it can not be said that it cannot be said.
Huo Xiaoshan has now recited the Buddha, although he is asleep, he can feel the breeze outside the donkey cart blowing through the grass, and he is not attached to hearing it, but he still has the Buddha name.
Huo Xiaoshan has been chanting Buddha for several years, and he feels that he has entered an incredible state, he doesn't think about very complicated things, but he will have the right choice in an instant, and his senses are more sensitive, and he sleeps for a short time every day, but his energy is very strong.
There was no word all night, and the next day the two of them still drove the donkey on the road.
At noon, they saw a river, and there was a section of the river that ran parallel to the dirt road, and the noon sun shone hotly, and the river shimmered with sparkling waves.
Murong Pei looked at the clear river water and the green aquatic plants in the river, she suddenly had the idea of taking a bath in her heart, but reason was busy suppressing this thought.
The car was still moving forward, but Murong Pei's desire to take a bath became stronger and stronger, it was okay not to take a bath, as soon as she thought about taking a bath, she felt itchy all over her body, she decided to say her thoughts to Huo Xiaoshan, what a big deal, isn't it just to take a bath, she secretly cheered herself up, and finally said to Huo Xiaoshan: "Huo Xiaoshan, stop the car." ”
"Huh~~" Huo Xiaoshan stopped the donkey and turned his head to look at Murong Pei.
Murong Pei didn't squirm as usual, but said in a firm tone: "Xiaoshanzi, I want to take a bath." ”
Huo Xiaoshan was stunned at first, and then reacted.
It's in the nature of this girl to love beauty, and they still took a bath in the water when they were chased by devils, of course, if that was also a bath.
Looking at Murong Pei's gaze that was looking forward to being clearer than the river water, Huo Xiaoshan just nodded "oh", turned around and raised his whip and still drove the donkey cart forward.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Murong Pei really couldn't understand what Huo Xiaoshan's first "oh" meant, whether it was "you can take a bath" or "I know you want to take a bath", but knowing that taking a bath does not mean agreeing to take a bath!
Under Murong Pei's fierce but pitiful gaze, Huo Xiaoshan suddenly grinned.
"What are you laughing at?" Although Murong Pei has always had a good temper, he did not become angry at this time, but he was already annoyed.
"I'll tell you a story, you'll know what I mean when you're done, hehe, this story is still told to me by my father." Huo Xiaoshan remembered his father, Huo Yuan's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, but they were immediately replaced by a smile.
Murong Pei could only endure his imminent anger and listen to Huo Xiaoshan.
"Say!" Huo Xiaoshan's story opens with one word.
"It is said that there is a blind fortune teller who always cheats money by telling fortunes.
One of the people he had deceived came up with a trick to cure the blind man. So he volunteered to be a servant to the blind man, and every day he showed the way to the blind man, and the blind man was naturally glad.
The blind man asked the servant what your name was, and the servant said, 'Oh, call all to see!' When the blind man remembered it, he always called him to come and see.
One day it was very hot, and the servant said to him, "Let's go, let's go and take a bath." The blind man said yes. When they came to see this, they led the blind man to a blister by the roadside, and said that he should wash it here, and the blind man took off his jaw and went into the water.
After a while, people came on the road, and when they saw a blind man bathing in a blister on the side of the road, they laughed and said, 'Look at that man bathing bare-bottomed there!' Then the blind man heard someone speak, and when he heard the movement, not all his servants came to see it, and he himself was in a panic, so he hurriedly shouted to his servants, 'Come and see!' Come and see! Where are you? Come and see! ”
"Haha!" Murong Pei was also amused, but after just a few laughs, he came back to his senses, Huo Xiaoshan wanted to tell himself that it was okay to take a bath, but not to wash on the side of the road so that everyone could come and see!
Murong Pei's face turned red, and even the yellow powder used for camouflage was dyed red! Suddenly pounced on Huo Xiaoshan's side, and the pink fist slammed on Huo Xiaoshan's back like a drum, "Call you bad!" Call you bad! She shouted, but after a few pounds, she had no strength, and she leaned back, lying directly on the board, and then leaned back and laughed.
