THE A

It was sunny and sunny.The river wind blows in bursts, and transparent fairy clouds float in the blue sky.On the far side of the river, the crystal of the Ganges is shining brightly, reflecting the sky that cares for the river.

They wandered around the market several times, and the magnificent and strange sundries here were so dazzling that they were simply dizzying.In order to cater to the customs here, they all changed into elegant and slender robes, and wore refreshing neck ornaments and headscarves when they came.

Haruo was in a good mood, except for the two troublemakers who were chattering beside them all the time, which affected their intimacy, everything was extremely beautiful, and the scenery they saw became particularly pleasing to the eye.

Lianjia was choosing jewelry in a cool little shop. The silk cloth in front of the table was covered with bracelets of different colors, each of which was translucent, and placed neatly next to each other. Like a breeze blowing over the table, Lian Jia pitifully grabbed a bracelet and looked at it.

Lifting it up to the eyes, there are transparent drops of water in the bracelet.

"Oh, this is so pretty, there doesn't seem to be such a bracelet in the imperial city?" She sighed in admiration, and chose another one of another color.

Sitting at the table was a middle-aged proprietress, but she was very beautifully dressed, "Miss, this bracelet is infused with the holy water of the Ganges River. There is a pair here. If lovers wear it on their hands, they will be together forever." , grow old together..."

The proprietress looked at Lianjia with a smile.

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?" She blinked and put it back in surprise. Only then did she notice that the things she picked up were all in pairs, and she almost messed up. let go.Lianjia bent down and looked at each pair of different bracelets. They really seemed to be made of water droplets. The water droplets inside...are they really the water of the Ganges River?

Seeing that this innocent little girl was going to be fooled, Naga also picked up a bracelet and smiled incomprehensibly, "This is obviously a fake..."

After he put down the bracelets in disdain, Lian Jia finally held up a pair of the ones she liked and put them in front of Naga, "I want these blue ones."

Naga said smoothly, "I think the green one looks better..."

"I don't care I want blue."

"Green."

"blue!"

She pouted firmly again, Naga rubbed his head and argued with her.I didn't notice that Hara also walked into the shop.

"..."

Facing this pair of legendary love bracelets, Hara is very interested.

He took out one pair and put them on Dasha's wrist for comparison, "I like the white one, it matches you very well."

The transparent bracelet was more beautiful on his white complexion. Dasha smiled slightly, but he was embarrassed to take the bracelet.

When he hesitated again and again, Hara had already put the bracelet on his hand, and Dasha, who didn't wear much jewelry, only had the stone bracelet on his hand.This one was next to the peacock feather, and the wrist immediately became icy cold.

He couldn't help laughing, seeing Hara wearing the same bracelet, and reaching out to rub against him, Dashan murmured, "Okay, it looks good...it looks good."

Hara asked softly, "Do you like this?"

Before he could answer, Haruo paid the bill, and the proprietress hurriedly tidied up the vacant space.

"...I like this bracelet, thank you... Hara."

Dasha lowered his head, his eyes lingered on the newly bought bracelet for a while, it became more crystal clear after being exposed to sunlight, and the bracelet shone brightly, as if blessing him.

Haruo led him out of the store, "...thank you, let's go and have a look over there."

"I don't care, I want blue."

"But green looks nice..."

The other two were still arguing persistently, completely unaware of the sweet atmosphere here.

……

I heard that there is a wishing pond in front, and there are quite a lot of onlookers, all of whom gather around in groups of twos and threes, mostly with families and children.

When I got closer, I saw a golden icon sculpture with four giant feet stepping in the shallow pool.There is a tributary of the Ganges that runs through the town.A steady stream flows into this huge pool from the trunk of the elephant, and flows away from the bottom of the pool.

The surrounding crowd threw coins into the pool one after another.However, they are all coins of small value, and some rich people spend a lot of money and invest in gold coins.

After watching for a long time, Dasha finally understood that they were praying to the elephant god with coins... All the wishing crowd put their hands together, closed their eyes and muttered words.He was interested, and Haruo had already taken out several gold coins, eager to try.

"Fulou, come and make a wish."

Dasha looked at him in surprise, and sighed that the gold coin that Hara took was too precious, but there were too many people, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he took a gold coin silently.

Hara threw one in, and joined his hands together to make a wish.After hesitating again and again, Dasha decided to try it out.

I don't know if the more money invested, the more the elephant god will appear.The gold coin sank quietly into the pool with a splash.

……

Make a wish?Quietly closing his eyes, Dasha couldn't help thinking.

He is not a Brahman, but "Floating House Prince" must believe in gods and Buddhas. ... In front of the Elephant God, he couldn't hide his wish.

After a hasty fantasy, Dasha hurriedly opened his eyes.

Hara held his hand tightly and asked impatiently, "What wish did you make?"

Dasha stopped for a moment, "...how about you?"

After throwing the coin, he held Dasha's hand tightly, "Of course it's a wish that the two of us will always be together."

Even if he is going back to Galore, he won't break up.

Dashan was stunned for a moment, and said yes.

Hara then asked, "Is your wish the same as mine?"

Yes... it's really the same.Had Hara guessed it too?It's just, how dare you say it.Hara is a prince, and he is just a commoner... The life that is like a dream now will one day go away. He has been here, and even his smile has lost half of it.

Dasha was shy when asked, thought for a while, but didn't say a word for a long time. "I……"

Unexpectedly, Haruo hugged him to his chest in front of the crowd, and refused to let go.

"what……"

Regardless of whether other people paid attention to it or not, Haruo still hugged and shook him like a fuss, and asked him with a smile next to his ear, "What wish did you make, do you want to say it or not?"

"...If you say it, it won't work..." Noticing a few children running around, stopping to stare at them enviously, Dasha pushed the people behind him, "Hara , There are too many people here, you, let me go first..."

A little girl opened her big watery eyes, finally stood up straight, and looked curiously at the two luxuriously dressed people.She couldn't help asking, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Dasha bent down and patted the girl's head, "We are here to make a wish."

There was an inadvertent smile on the corner of his mouth, which fascinated the little girl.

She covered her mouth and became intoxicated, "My brother looks so good..."

Another little boy who was traveling with him also squeezed over, and when he saw the person in the gorgeous and soft clothes, he couldn't help admiring, "Are you nobles, big brother?"

"Yes." Hara took Dasara into his arms.He doesn't like to be in contact with these children who run around and get dirty. They look like children from poor families, and they don't know how to measure. Fortunately, they ran into Dasha. If they disturb other nobles, say Maybe just beat them here.However, seeing that Dasha had always had a good impression of the child, he also rewarded him with a gold coin and threw it in the little boy's turban.

The little girl quickly took the gold coin out of the boy's scarf and held it tightly in her hand. She cried out in surprise, pulled the boy to his knees, and kowtowed while staring at the direction they left, "Wow! Thank you Brother Immortal! ……Thanks!"

The little boy pursed his lips, "Let's keep making wishes, the two of us will be together forever..."

After wandering around for a while, we met up with Lianjia and the others.Originally scheduled to rest in a hotel by the Ganges River, Hara had long wanted to come over quickly and go shopping outside. Fulou would be concerned about the presence of other people, and they couldn't stay close all the time, but he was at his mercy in the room, whatever he wanted to do It will be all right--

Not long after waiting on the balcony behind the hotel, Naga waved to them from the window.

"Hara, Fulou, the room is ready, come and take a look?"

At this time, it was a simple wooden house, although it was not the least bit gorgeous, it was very clean.But there were not many daily necessities that should be there. Haruo dusted off the sheets in annoyance, and sat down on it.

Holding the back of his neck, Haruo asked: "Fulou, the houses here are a bit shabby, don't you mind?"

This place is no different from the log cabin in his hometown, it is clean and tidy, and there is a gust of river breeze blowing from the window from time to time, and the whole house is filled with fresh air.

"No..." Dasha shook his head. "It's just...the bed is so small..."

He looked at this bed, it was naturally much smaller than the one in the palace, but in the folks, it is true that two people sleep, and it feels a bit hard to lie on. Hara is used to the big bed and the soft and thin quilt, will it be Dislike here?

Haruo embraced him, caught him on the bed without hesitation, and sat beside her. "It's okay, I'll sleep with you anyway."

Short of breath for a moment, Dasha clasped the bed sheet and nodded, "Dinner will be served in a while, let's go out first."

"After shopping for so long, why don't you take a break?"

Hara continued to hold him, even lifted him up on his lap, Dasha's face slowly began to flush.

……

By the river beach.

The people who came here to play, as well as the local people and the servants of the hotel found a piece of land, set up simple wooden tables and chairs, and set up a small bonfire, on which all kinds of river delicacies were grilled.

A burst of delicious fragrance by the river wafted into the wooden house where he lived, making Lianjia, who had just left the house, run happily.

It's still early in the evening, and there are still light clouds floating in the sky in the afternoon, but if I don't prepare food earlier, there may not be any ingredients left for dinner.There are many nobles who come here to play.

Hearing that he could grill fish by himself, Lianjia was very excited. He had never tried to make something by himself, so of course he was very curious about such a thing.It's just that Lianjia is afraid of fire,

She also hates raw meat, and doesn't know how to grill things. The fish meat that comes out of the grill is all burnt black, and she loses interest after a while.

After a while, a plate of juicy and tender fish was presented on the table. Lian Jia's eyes lit up, and she quickly put it on her plate to taste.

She looked back, and it turned out that it was Dasha who had been roasting things silently, and Haruo was helping clumsily at the side. They asked the hotel to send a lot of fresh meat and delicacies, and now Dasha was putting them on the fire one by one. Some sprinkled the spices in order, and he flipped through them from time to time, and the things he tested with his familiar techniques were naturally delicious.

Dasha forgot how long it took to learn how to barbecue. He was unable to hunt, so he had to go to the stream to catch small fish. Since Kaye left, he has been self-sufficient in the country.

In order to pick the thorns, Lianjia ate the fish in small bites, and put it into the mouth little by little, which had a special flavor.

"Wow, Brother Huang, try this first, this is baked by Fulou himself."

Naga also picked up the fork and started, and nodded with satisfaction after taking a bite, "It's really good, Fulou, don't be busy there all the time, come and eat."

"...Ah, it's delicious. I've never eaten such a good grilled fish in my life!"

Obviously, in the palace, you will definitely not be able to eat such delicious seafood, not only the meat is good, but the taste is also good.

The two people who are grilling meat don't forget to let each other taste it first.A bunch of freshly roasted beef was handed to Dasha's mouth, and when he looked up, Hara was about to feed him with great interest.

"…tasty."

After biting off a piece of meat, Dasha laughed unconsciously.Haruo doesn't know how to grill meat at all, and put too much spice, but he is happy from the bottom of his heart...

After dinner, the servants of the inn brought several plates of fruits piled up like hills, and they couldn't finish them all. Hara and the others were always so extravagant and wasteful, and Dasha had to get used to it.

The sunset glow in the sky is getting thicker and thicker, dyeing a piece of connected clouds red, and the warm light is sprinkled on the river surface, reflecting the shy color of a girl.

A hunched, gray-haired old man with a shaggy beard walked around the river, and finally walked along the river, holding a rusty iron bowl in one hand, and a wooden stick in the other A walking stick with a few old coins in it.

Seeing that it was a beggar, Dasha picked up a fruit and put it in the bowl. Thinking that he had no money with him, he took another fruit and waited for the old man to take it with his empty hands.The old man loosened the stick slightly and took it, put the fruit in his pocket, his wrinkled old face moved.

"Thank you, young master, thank you...you will live a long life."

The hoarse voice was very unpleasant to hear. Hara, who had returned from washing his hands, sat next to Dasha, happened to see this scene, and glanced at the ugly back of the beggar who had left.He doesn't dislike the lowly poor, but he is not interested in giving them alms, and he doesn't even want to get close to them unless they are clean and cute... Ahem, that was his first time five years ago

In the scene when he met Fulou once, he mistakenly thought that he was a commoner who was embarrassed by the guards.

What's more, I don't know if the old man in front of me is a Dalit of low race. This area is full of rich people who come to travel, and beggars don't know how to avoid suspicion.

He asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Dasha replied with a smile: "An old man came to beg, and I gave them some fruit...and he also wished me a long life in the future."

Nodding his head, Haruo hugged him, picked up a bunch of grapes and began to eat, "It's okay, don't pay attention to those kind of people."

"Although they are of low caste, they are also the people of Bayles, you have to take care of them..."

Watching the hunchbacked old man go away, Dasha couldn't help thinking about the long-gone Uncle Da, who also had inconvenient legs and feet, and was poor. Maybe this old man also had children at home. I wonder if such a little charity can help.

Hara is the future monarch. If he can care for all his subjects regardless of their status, he will definitely be loved by everyone.He didn't want those poor people living in the dark to secretly hate the indifference of the monarch and complain about the ruthlessness of the nobles.What's more, he himself was originally an ordinary citizen. Sometimes, he was very afraid that if the truth was exposed one day, Haruo would look down on him...

Haruo hummed and pulled him up, "Let's go for a walk."

"it is good……"

It seems that Fulou will be a benevolent king in the future, so he will not let him go back to the country, but let him stay by his side. He will always think about Nabeles in the future, and help him become an excellent monarch, so that his people will not suffer. ,Um……

We walked for a long time holding hands, and gradually came to the rock pile in the distance. The clean ground was covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, and the scenery by the river became more and more peaceful. Without the noise of the crowd, the peaceful river seemed to be full of magic. , making people feel calm and at ease, only the chirping and flapping of birds in the air can be heard.

Taking a deep breath, Haruo suddenly said in a deep voice.

"I heard that there is a custom in the country of Rama not far from here. The people there will use their headscarves to court."

Many people who moved from Rama live in this area. In order to cater to the custom, they also wear headscarves today, but they have already taken them off after dinner.At some point, Hara's turban was gathered in his hand.At this moment, he was sullen and knelt down in front of Dasha on one knee, and the chirping of birds covered Dasha's startled cry.

Quiet and serene, he took Dasha's hand carefully again, and kissed it like a royal entourage admiring a prince.

"...You, what are you doing?"

Dasha lowered his head, blushing in embarrassment.Haruo looked at him deeply, his eyes were flushed and beautiful, and his breath carried his unique body odor, which made Dasha's heart thump and beat faster and faster, as if it was about to overflow from his chest.

"I'm courting you."

The cool night wind blew across his cheeks, making his face redder than the sunset.Dasha opened his mouth in panic, breathing rapidly.

"Please...beg for love? You..."

Dasha whispered.He didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that if he spoke again, he would not be able to hold back his tears.

Crying is a very timid thing, but he is so touched now, so his eyes and nose are sore and swollen.

He took the unraveled light blue kerchief with great anticipation, holding the end tightly.

Courtship...

Dasha couldn't refuse, because he also admired and admired this person.It's just that you accept it so sourly, why?

Hara stared into his eyes, looking for the joy in his eyes as if confirming something.

But when he saw the lovely flush on his cheeks, Haruo laughed a few times and stood up. He was afraid that if he knelt down like this again, the other party would be even more embarrassed. He already knew enough about Fulou, how could Fulou be willing? Let him kneel like this.

They held hands again and walked nonchalantly.Hara clasped his five fingers contentedly.

The peripheral vision in Dasha's eyes was wandering back and forth on Haruo's proud face at this moment. This person would actually put down his airs to like him.No matter how the evening wind blows, he can't remove the hot feeling on his face, his head is swollen, dizzy and happy, worried and happy.

Haruo pulled him away, walking faster and faster, almost running forward at a trot.

There is a huge rock in front of it, and the rock piles here are also of different sizes to form a small hillside.

When he came to the back of the rock, Hara pressed him against the rock as if his inner breath was inflated and kissed him desperately.

Between lips and teeth, he seemed to understand Haruo's intention, pushed it, and then looked around to see if anyone was passing by.

Even though he couldn't see a single person, he still whispered nervously, "This is outside!"

Haruo whispered in his ear: "The scenery here is so beautiful, I can't help it."

……

There were small footsteps in the distance, probably people strolling over.

Dasha retracted his shoulders vigilantly and held his breath.

"Someone is coming...?"

Hara covered his body, covering what others could see, "Don't be afraid, they won't be able to see."

But... Even if someone came over, they probably wouldn't notice this inconspicuous stone. After all, the sky was getting dark, the setting sun had faded, and the crescent moon that replaced it was already behind the floating clouds.

Dasha whimpered and argued, "But... um, um..."

"Stay by my side forever."

Hara's hoarse voice lingered around her, and Ye Se was depressed, as if it could swallow people in the vortex of love.

The air was filled with heavy panting, "Okay?"

Dasha closed his eyes and answered instinctively.

"……well."

He still doesn't know that his love will involve him in greater danger, but he can't help but sink into the tenderness at this moment.

……

……

Garol.

Lutu City.

A middle-aged man with a beard was chasing a child wearing sandals and an old cloth shirt with a broom. Although he was physically strong, he couldn’t resist the child walking through the crowd of tall and short. There are still a lot of people in the market.

While chasing him, he shouted, "Xiaoyun! Stop!"

Xiao Yun was so concerned about running, he didn't care whether he bumped into a pedestrian. He accidentally bumped into a pedestrian in front of him, and the basket of fresh fruits in that person's hand was knocked over.

A serious-looking and tall brother stared at him silently. Xiao Yun was about to continue running, but he still fell into the hands of the man who was chasing him.

The owner of the basket began to pick up the scattered things on the ground. It was another elder brother who was walking with the tall elder brother. He frowned slightly, and he didn't look too easy to provoke... Both of them were handsome and handsome, and one of them was picking up things. Yes, the skin is fairer, and the clothes are decent. Could it be... aristocrat... Xiaoyun is covering his face pitifully, and is about to pretend to cry.

Unexpectedly, the taller brother just asked softly: "Are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, this kid is too naughty." Holding Xiaoyun's collar, the middle-aged man knocked him on the head several times, bent down full of guilt, apologized to the two, and knocked Xiaoyun again , carrying him back, "Come back with me!"

Xiaoyun immediately grinned and yelled, "I want to go home!"

The elder brother who was picking things up suddenly looked up curiously, "Go home? Don't tell me, uncle, didn't you bring him home?"

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said embarrassedly, "I'm just the janitor of their school... hey!"

He was stunned, and rubbed his head again, "To be honest, our school is about to fail. A few teachers left a while ago, and now I can't control these children at all."

Picking up the fruit on the ground, the eyes of the young man carrying the basket seemed to be shining, "Teacher? Do you need a teacher?"

The middle-aged uncle nodded, "...ah, what's wrong?"

"Could it be possible, can you come to the school to help?" The uncle looked at him suspiciously. He really looked like a knowledgeable person, but he was just a teacher, so he didn't know if he could do it.

The other party smiled, and replied in one breath: "Of course it's no problem!"
