How to dress like a prince

An episode in the afternoon caused Wei Yunzhi to miss the dinner of meritorious deeds. He took Li Xiu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, back to the camp at the foot of the mountain. The two of them had their own concerns, and since returning to the camp, they haven't spoken a word.

Wei Yunzhi was lying on the warm bed, unable to sleep with his eyes open.Li Xiu was terribly frightened today. He rode a horse and climbed a tree. He was so exhausted that he fell asleep not long after going to bed.

In the quiet northern night, there is no singing of frogs and birds, only the wind whistling from an unknown distance, driving the layers of forests on Guanlong Mountain, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes far and sometimes near, screaming, It was like someone was crying softly.

The tall ancient tree seems to be piercing into the sky, the roots are tangled and circling, and it will protrude from the ground after a few steps, and then plunge back into the ground as if it has eyes.The trunk is full of traces of time, like rough fish scales, starting from the root of the tree and extending to the top of the tree that cannot be seen by sight.Needle-like leaves are densely packed but extremely regularly distributed at the ends of the branches, stretched out like an umbrella, covering the sky and the sun.

Li Xiu led the horse and walked in the forest covered with pine needles. Every tree was so tall that he was surprised. He walked carefully, otherwise, he would be easily hidden under the thick and soft pine needles stumbled over tree roots.

The docile mare followed closely behind Li Xiu until he saw a few bright mushrooms growing under a tall pine tree.Li Xiu thought, brightly colored mushrooms are generally poisonous, he knows this, even if this is the north, he had better not touch it.

At this time, a rabbit ran out from nowhere, its whole body was snow-white, fluffy and cute, Li Xiu felt that the rabbit was exactly the same as the one Wei Yunzhi gave him, he wondered if it ran out accidentally.The rabbit walked towards the mushroom with short legs, and Li Xiu thought again, this rabbit is so stupid, can't you tell that the mushroom is poisonous, it is a wild rabbit after all!There is no way, after all, it was sent by Wei Yunzhi, Li Xiu pulled the rein and wanted to go over to stop it, but the mare was stubborn and did not move.Li Xiu let go of the rein, and ran to the side of the rabbit in a few steps, but when he was about to catch it, he tripped and fell on the pine needles.

The rabbit disappeared, Li Xiu was a little disappointed, Wei Yunzhi gave it to him, and just ran away.When he raised his head, a big furry head appeared behind the tree trunk, and his two eyes were staring at him fiercely. It was a wolf...

Li Xiu woke up from his sleep. The candles in the room were no different from those before he went to bed. Wei Yunzhi next to him was still meditating with his eyes open. Come to think of it, the dreams that were so real and almost immersive just now were only a few It's just a blink of an eye.

It was very warm in the bed, Li Xiu pulled out his arms, touched his forehead and neck, there was a thin layer of sweat, a little hot.

"Haven't you slept yet?"

"Just fell asleep and woke up again."

"Oh."

Wei Yunzhi asked a question casually, but stopped talking. Li Xiu wanted to ask him a lot, but he didn't know where to start. He didn't seem to be qualified to ask Wei Yunzhi, but he also vaguely knew that even if he Asked, Wei Yunzhi would not answer him.He wanted to know who it was that shot the arrow this afternoon, why he shot his horse, or was it really him that the person wanted to shoot?Why did Wei Yunzhi rush out without hesitation? Why didn't he come after him? Was he not worried about him at all?Thinking about it, I still feel a little scared, those wolves, what if he was attacked by a pack of wolves today?It's pointless to think about these things, but in Li Xiu's heart, some things are different.

In the next few days, Wei Yunzhi did not take Li Xiu into the forest to hunt again.

Every morning, Wei Yunzhi rushed into the forest with the men in high spirits on horseback, and came back in the evening with blood-stained prey, ranging from wild boars and goats to small pheasants and rabbits. Quantity and weight determine the winner.As night fell, the bonfire was lit, and the prey during the day were skinned and cramped. The aroma of roasted whole sheep wafted on the Guanlong Mountain under the moonlight, accompanied by the laughter of drunken men, which lasted for a long time.

When Li Xiu ate dinner in the house, he was also given a rabbit leg, but he was not used to half-roasted meat, so he gave it to the greedy Xiao Dongzi instead.Wei Yunzhi usually stays until the end of the banquet, Li Xiu is idle and bored, rides the horse that Wei Yunzhi gave him, and goes to the camp not far away for a ride to enjoy the breeze.

In the past few days, Li Xiu met a few boys of the same age. They are the children of the hunting grounds. They have lived in the Guanlong Mountain hunting ground since birth. Pass it to Li Xiu.

The grass was dark under the moonlight, and the river in front of him shone with sparkling light. Li Xiu was wearing thick and warm clothes, with his neck tucked into his collar, and there were thoughts in his mind that he had never had before, but they were illusory and hard to grasp. live.He was a little irritable and had a headache. For a while he thought of the home he would never go back to, for a while he thought of the blood relatives who would never see each other again, for a while he thought of Wei Yunzhi's gentleness and friendliness to him in ordinary times, and for a while he thought of when Wei Yunzhi left him Li Xiu looked at his red fingers under the moonlight, and felt wronged and unfair more than once in his heart. Tears rolled in his eyes, but he always held them back at the last moment.Li Xiu knew that he was useless among boys, but he didn't want to go on like this anymore.

Not everyone can throw him away at will, Li Xiu whispered to the moon in the sky and the dark mountains in the distance: "I don't want to be left behind again."

Wei Yunzhi returned to the room smelling of wine and meat, Xiao Dongzi had already prepared bath water, Wei Yunzhi took a comfortable hot bath, and when he climbed into bed, Li Xiuxiu sat on the bed and read a book, looking very serious.

"What are you looking at?" Wei Yunzhi leaned over to take a look, "Yue Ling? Ha, do you like watching this?"

"Ah, no, just look at it casually, and go to bed right away."

"If you're sleepy, go to bed first, don't wait for me."

Li Xiu didn't say yes or no, he closed the book and lay down obediently.The candles were blown out one by one, leaving only two feeble ones for emergencies.After taking care of everything, the maid took the door and went out.

"Did you find it funny?"

Wei Yunzhi stared at the top of the tent, and suddenly began to laugh in a low voice, his tone was full of self-deprecation and disdain.

"What's so funny?" Li Xiu looked at Wei Yunzhi, confused.

"You, me, us now."

Wei Yunzhi turned his head to talk to Li Xiu, his eyes were very serious, Li Xiu couldn't speak for a moment, and the tears that he suffocated by the river an hour ago appeared in his eyes again.

"Are you going to cry? Don't be sad. I'm just talking casually. Don't be afraid. I won't leave you alone."

Li Xiu grabbed Wei Yunzhi's arm and said with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, stop teasing me like this..."

Wei Yunzhi continued to stare at the top of the tent, with a calm voice: "People, you have to think twice before doing anything. If you make a mistake, it will be difficult to manage later. Sigh, go to sleep."

How could Li Xiu be able to sleep? He couldn't help guessing, what was Wei Yunzhi's misstep, was it him?

Could it be that Wei Yunzhi just didn't want to get married and have children too early, so he asked Li Xiu to act as a shield, thinking about hiding for a while, what should he do in the future?When it's time to get married and have children, just find a girl to marry?At that time, would anyone still want to marry him?As a prince, it is not difficult to find a woman who is willing to marry him, but can he still get rid of the title of Duanxiu in this life?Wei Yunzhi was so angry that his teeth hurt when he thought of the few noble children who openly satirized him at the banquet today!
