Ruthless debt

Seeing that he didn't raise his face for a long time, Zuo Qi thought something was wrong, waited him to rush to him and saw that he raised his face, only to see that his temples and eyebrows were wet, and the drops of water from his chin were constantly falling fall.

Prince Che raised his sleeve to wipe the moisture from his face, and asked in a low voice: "Is the lake water cold?" After speaking, he turned over, and half of the ink-stained black hair had fallen into the water, and there were some yellow sand and dust on the front of his clothes. Mud, smudges all over, and a dejected look on his face.

Zuo Qi lowered his head, saw that half of his body was already in the water, he shook his head slightly: "It's not cold." After speaking, he walked ashore, took off his cumbersome outer robe, only his middle coat was left.

Survival is safe for the time being, and after eating some dry food, her mind gradually clears up. In this moment, the words Nan'er said before she died have turned in her mind several times.He wanted to ask Zuo Qi several times, but he didn't know where to start. Once he said this, the relationship between the two of them would no longer be the same as it was yesterday.

Zuo Qi had been soaking in the water all this time, he casually dangled his dusty clothes and hung them on the branches.The prince Che was sitting on the shore, maybe he was admiring the moonlight, maybe he was admiring the lake under the moonlight, or he was admiring the people in the lake.

After washing away the exhaustion and embarrassment of the past, seeing this scene can't help but make people want to live here and die in this life.

"Aqi, why don't I build a wooden house here. From now on, you and I will live here for a long time without visiting the outside world or going out of this desert?"

Zuo Qi shook his head: "The world in front of us is not at ease. I only know that I can't be happy if I live alone and hide from the world in silence. You still have the whole country on your shoulders. If you really want to live here for a long time, you still have to pay for it." Everything is over, if you have no one by your side at that time, I, Zuo Qi, even if I give up my family and the country, I will follow you here, as you said, build a wooden house, just you and me..." Still talking, he walked to the shore.

After wiping off the moisture on his body, he bent down to get the clothes in the package, and suddenly felt a black shadow walking behind him, and hugged him without saying a word.

The familiar breath, the body temperature that has been used for many years, who else is it?

He leaned against his ear and said in a low voice: "Ah Qi, Nan'er said something to me before he died, which made me understand my own intentions." Before he knew it, the hairpin in his sleeve slipped out and fell into the place silently. on the sand.

Zuo Qi bent down and was stunned, he didn't say anything for a while, and the people behind him didn't move, they just hugged him vaguely.It was night, as cool as water, and there was silence all around, and occasionally I heard the faint sound of insects.

Just when he was about to break free, the people behind him let go of their hands, but when he stood upright again, he suddenly jumped in front of him, his eyes bursting with light that he had never seen before.

The next moment, both arms were grabbed, and Prince Che kissed his neck with his face sideways. The warm and moist feeling instantly covered him.He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do, and his body gradually became limp in a burst of numbness involuntarily.I don't know how Renshi's body can withstand such fiddling, but I feel a "bang" in my head, the words in my ears, and the sourness in my heart, all driven away by the strange and fanatical restlessness.

"Aqi, Aqi..." Prince Che repeated panting.

Ah Che, it's only because I can't live without you that I will let you take whatever you want, and let me have nothing to give you. It's just a skin, if you want to give it to you.

Throughout the whole night, Zuo Qi only felt that he had fallen into a strange place where he could not see the light of the sky and heard no sound. The two entangled bodies were sometimes like burning flames, and sometimes like turbulent waves and tsunami. The pleasure of annihilation comes one after another, and I have to die to ask for it.

From the beginning to the end, I only heard the uncontrollable sound from the throat. When I was exhausted, I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I got entangled in one place again and again. It was like trying to merge the other party with myself. so-so.But the sky will be bright after all, those who are waiting for them to return will not disappear, and those who have already disappeared will not be easily erased from memory, and they still have to bear the expectations of everyone and move forward indomitably.

After sleeping until the sun was shining, Prince Che got up and put on his clothes, woke up Zuo Qi, the two hurriedly tidied up for a while, and then continued on their way.

After walking for half a day, he saw a few birds flying by in the sky, Zuo Qi looked up and saw that the bird was shaped like a barn swallow but its wings were unusually wide.Then I remembered what Mu Yan said many years ago, and vaguely remembered that the name of this bird was 'Gui Qu Lai Xi', which meant to call people home.Seeing that the sand dunes under your feet are getting gentler, it must be that this desert has come to an end, and people will be seen in a short time.

Prince Che saw that he had been in a trance for a long time, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zuo Qi withdrew his gaze, and looked forward again: "Back then, when we traveled all the way from the Luohe River to Weiling, all the small countries flattered and flattered us, but I don't know this time when we return to the country... If we treat them as usual, you and I will drive two fast horses." You can reach Luohe in a few days, if you ignore it, you and I will have to walk for another month."

The prince Che said: "You don't need to worry. In recent years, Mu Xuanqing bullied the small countries by relying on his strength. He often made other countries submit to him without a fight. If he acted so recklessly, he might have already been hated by the world. But our country I have always had good relations with the countries in the south, and I can also rival the Shuo country, and now I am willing to send me back to the country to please my father, so why not make things difficult for me?"

Zuo Qi nodded and said: "I naturally understand the truth, but I am afraid that there will be elbows and armpits in Luohe City. I have conspired with him, and it must have been planned long ago, I think someone in the court has already been won over by him."

Prince Che chuckled: "I don't think as deeply as you do, but I'm a little worried about my father. If he knows that Uncle Jiuhuang intends to betray him, he will definitely be very sad."

"It's natural, not to mention being the ruler of a country, it's hard for ordinary people to be betrayed by others, and it's more than sad that a person who was trusted in the past has changed his face in the past. It can be summed up as sadness."

Prince Che turned his head and suddenly became serious: "Aqi, I believe you will never treat me like this."

Zuo Qi nodded, but did not answer.

Sure enough, when the sun was setting, they looked around and finally saw people. There were a few scattered houses not far away. The two looked at each other and smiled, their joy was beyond words.

Walking to the nearest house, there was an old man standing under the eaves. Seeing that his hair and beard were half white, he must be over [-] years old.He was originally drawing water from the well, but when he suddenly saw two people walking from the desert, although they were dressed in dust and dust, their clothes and appearance were different from others, so he immediately put down the bucket in his hand.

Prince Che asked: "Old man, where is your capital city?"

The old man said: "This place is not far from the capital, and it takes only half a day to get there. I don't know where the two young masters came from, and why are they going to the capital?"

The prince Che originally wanted to say that he came from Qu country, but Zuo Qi held him back, and he only heard him say: "It's hard to explain this matter, so it's okay if I don't talk about it, but my brother and I have important matters and need to go to Shuo country urgently. But can the old man show us the way?"

The old man scooped up half a ladle of well water from the bucket and handed it to the two of them. He said unhurriedly: "The city gate will be closed at the time of the capital city. Now you have wings and you will not have time to enter the city. If you don't dislike it, you can stay overnight in the humble house. Tomorrow It’s not too late to go on the road again in the morning.”

The two drank the water one by one, then raised their heads and looked at each other for a while, Zuo Qi said again: "The old man is very warm-hearted, my brother and I are very grateful, but I am afraid of disturbing you, and I really feel ashamed."

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the old man has only one grandson under his knees, and he is usually very cold. Now that there are guests at home, why would he bother you? Just stay here." A seven or eight-year-old boy ran out of the house, hugged the old man's legs, and looked at them curiously.

The boy asked childishly, "Grandpa, who are they?"

The old man touched the back of his grandson's head, and said with a smile: "These two are guests from afar, and they are going to stay overnight at our house today, Min Er, be good, bring the guests in first, and then give them something to eat. "

Min'er blinked, let go of her grandfather and said to the two, "Did the two elder brothers come from heaven?"

Prince Che couldn't help laughing with a 'puchi', he bent down and said with a smile: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Min'er said: "I've never seen you like this. I only heard from Grandpa that the immortals in the sky are all good-looking, which is incomparable to us mortals."

Zuo Qi said solemnly: "We just descended from the sky, this time the lower realm is just to find a few children with fairy roots and take them to the heaven realm."

Min'er believed it was true, clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother, do you think I have immortal roots? Can you lead me to the sky? What does the sky look like? What's so interesting..." After several questions, Zuo Qi asked He had to hold back his voice, thinking about it, he shouldn't be talking nonsense on the spur of the moment, if he really kept asking such endless questions, how would he answer.

Seeing his perplexed expression, the prince Che also guessed a bit, and compared to Min'er the movement of silence: "This is a secret, don't reveal it at will."

Min'er believed it again, and immediately covered her small mouth, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two rested here, and after eating at night, the old man came to the house to talk with them.They talked about some big and small things in recent years, but most of them were just how arrogant Shuo Kingdom was, and the oppression from time to time caused the people to suffer.They were originally a small country, and the people were scattered and displaced in five or six years, but those who were able to walk fled to other countries. Only the ruler of the country did not give up the water and soil of this old country, so he could only survive being destroyed by him as a minister.

The two could only sigh without saying a word, and they didn't know how to comfort them, so they had to listen silently.
