The Legend of the Eagle Shepherd

In the next few days, the two of them lived a lot better.First, there is no need to eat wild vegetables.The two suddenly realized that, just like the fish in the lake, hares and pheasants are ownerless things, and they can grab them at will, and they have lived a life of fish and meat ever since.In order to facilitate hunting, Ouyang Ke also taught Qu Gu some skills of the White Camel Villa.Qu Gu is very talented in learning martial arts, often after Ouyang Ke teaches it two or three times, she can follow the example and learn it well.If you practice it twice by yourself, you will be able to master it and use it proficiently.

Secondly, the relationship between Ouyang Ke and Qu Gu has gradually become harmonious. Ouyang Ke can control her temperament and treat her with kindness and gentleness.And Qu Gu was grateful to Ouyang Ke for taking care of her who was sick that night, and treated him even more wholeheartedly.The two lived a peaceful life for a while.

On this day, Qu Gu killed a hare.The two used local materials again and roasted the hare.Qu Gu looked up and saw that the sun was still shining brightly at noon, and the heat was unbearable, but in the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed from cloudy to cloudy, and he couldn't help worrying: "The weather is changing so fast, I'm afraid it will rain heavily!" After that, he felt a chill on his cheeks, followed by a flash of lightning, and suddenly a heavy rain poured down, Qu Gu hurriedly pulled Ouyang Ke away from under the big tree.

It was raining heavily, and the ground was extremely muddy, Qu Gu and Ouyang Ke were in a panic, Qu Gu was fine, the rain fell on Ouyang Ke's broken leg, the moisture invaded, and it was extremely uncomfortable.Qu Gu saw a faint house in the misty place in the distance, so he tried his best to drag Ouyang Ke there.

When they reached the door, both of them were drenched. Seeing that Ouyang Ke frowned and his face was as pale as paper, Qu Gu knew that his leg was hurting badly, so he was anxious and slapped the door loudly.After a while, the door was opened, and it was an old man with a hunched waist.The old man saw that the two of them were full of travel and dust. Although the man was handsome, he was emaciated and his legs were disabled; the woman was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar. He led them both into the house.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Qu Gu thanked him repeatedly, and found that the soles of his shoes and the bottom of the cart were covered with mud, and he was afraid that if they got dirty, the old man would dislike him.So he just stood under the eaves of the door and hesitated, Ouyang Ke only felt the pain in his legs, he gasped, and glared at her, "Why don't you go in?"

Qu Gu bit his lips, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "No. Let's hide from the rain here. The old man's house is very clean. If we dirty him, he won't be happy..." She used to be crazy When she was stupid, she was often disliked by others, but now that her sanity has gradually cleared, she is naturally more sensitive and does not want to be unpleasant.

Ouyang Ke had never given in to others before, let alone anyone other than Huang Rong who disliked him. At this moment, his leg hurts, and he was naturally dissatisfied when he heard that Qu Gu was still so careful. He was about to explode, but he heard that The old man smiled and said: "The little girl is thinking too much, the old man lives alone, how can he dislike it so much. It seems that you have traveled a long way, come into the house to keep warm."

Only then did Qu Gu drag Ouyang Ke in, the old man first poured a pot of hot tea to warm up the two of them, and then dug out some old clothes for Ouyang Ke and Qu Gu to change into.Seeing that it was a girl's skirt, Qu Gu couldn't help being curious. The old man wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed: "This is what my daughter-in-law wore back then. Alas... I'm sorry that my son and daughter-in-law died early. I won't mention it." , don't mention it!"

Seeing that the old man was getting old, but he was living alone, Qu Gu couldn't help feeling a little sad.Seeing that he was moving the stove to warm Ouyang Ke, he hurried up to help.

Afterwards, Qu Gu went to the back room and changed into a clean woman's attire, and when he came out, he saw that Ouyang Ke had also changed into a coarse linen garment that ordinary people usually wear.Although it is not as gorgeous and exquisite as the original one, it looks much cleaner and neater. It's just that the hair has been dried, but it is still loose and not tied up. It really looks like jade, with sword eyebrows.

Ouyang Ke was drinking hot tea, seeing Qu Gu came out, he looked her up and down, saw that she had a beautiful face, neatly dressed, but her hair was still messy, and he couldn't help but frowned, and Qu Gu touched the ends of her hair, feeling embarrassed She pursed her lips and said, "I don't know how to comb my hair..."

Seeing Qu Gu's childish embarrassment, Ouyang Ke couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and waved at her, "Come here, my lord will comb your hair!"

Qu Gu was stunned for a moment, and then he showed joy on his face. He borrowed a comb and a small mirror from the old man, and obediently sat on the small bench with his back to Ouyang Ke.When Ouyang Ke lived a romantic life in the White Camel Villa in the Western Regions, it was a common thing for concubines to brush their hair and thrush eyebrows, but at this moment it was just a whim and meant to appease Qu Gu.

Qu Gu looked at the pair of big hands in the mirror slowly combing her messy hair smoothly, feeling joyful and warm in his heart, he couldn't help closing his eyes, and remembered the scene when his father combed her hair when he was a child.At that time, every morning, I sat in front of my father like this, and my father's warm big hands combed her fine hair, and while combing her hair, the father and daughter talked homely.

Ouyang Ke, who was behind him, said: "That's all right." Qu Gu opened his eyes and looked at the appearance in the mirror, but was very disappointed, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why do you comb like this? I want that kind of comb." A small bun into two balls..."

Ouyang Ke paused the hand holding the comb, and couldn't help laughing, "That's the corner of a child's comb. How old are you, do you still want to be a child forever?" , whispered: "You are right, I am no longer a child. Daddy has passed away for many years..."

Ouyang Ke was startled when he heard her heartache.From what Qu Gu said, one knew that she had been dependent on her father since she was a child, and that her father not only treated her kindly, but even combed her hair, which shows that his love for his daughter is extremely strong.

Thinking of his life experience again for a moment, Ouyang Ke sighed, and then put the comb into Qu Gu's hand again, "Okay, it's your turn to comb my hair." He has never tied his own hair.

Qu Gu held the comb, shook his head, and said blankly, "I don't know."

Ouyang Ke was also stunned, and raised his eyebrows tightly, "There are still girls in this world who can't comb their hair. You are shameless." Combing your hair is outrageous enough.

Unconvinced, Qu Gu curled his lips, picked up the comb and said, "Let me try it, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

As a result, Qu Gu gestured with the comb for a long time, either pulling Ouyang Ke's hair, or making his temples loose.Even though Ouyang Ke had made up his mind to win her over, he couldn't help but get angry at Qu Gu when he saw his unremarkable messy hair in the mirror.Think about him, Ouyang Ke, even when he was at his worst, he didn't make himself into such a ghost!

Qu Gu also felt very annoyed, a big man was more particular than himself, he disliked him for being too tight for a while, and felt too loose for a while, it was really hard to serve!

In the end, under the guidance of the old man, Qu Gu managed to tie his hair up.Both Qu Gu and Ouyang Ke breathed a long sigh of relief, and they both felt that they would never let her (for him) comb their hair again next time.

It was still raining outside the window, so Qu Gu and Ouyang Ke simply stayed overnight at the old man's house.The old man is quite lonely living alone on weekdays. At night, he deliberately killed a chicken and cooked soup for the two of them.The two lived in desperation, and although they had improved their food along the way, they hadn't eaten such exquisite meals for a long time, so they were very happy.Qu Gu even more diligently helped the old man wash the dishes and chopsticks.When she was delirious in the past, she was often looked at and bullied by others. Today, this strange old man is giving her clothes and food, which makes Qu Gu very grateful.

----

Perhaps it was because it was rare for them to have a gluttonous meal, and the two of them slept soundly the next day.When he got up, the old man had already prepared breakfast. Seeing the two of them waking up, he said with a smile: "The old man is going to work during the day. There is some dry food on the table, you can use it as much as you want."

Qu Gu thanked him repeatedly, and saw that the old man was about to carry a basket of gravel and pebbles, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him lift it. "Old man, what are you doing with a basket of stones on your back?"

The old man smiled and said: "I am a stonemason. When I was young, I learned some crafts from my master, and I rely on this to support my family. The young owner of Guiyun Village here has recently got married and built a small courtyard for the young lady. I went there to repair the yard, and these stones were used to pave the road I picked up from the Taihu Lake a few days ago."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he heard a jingle, Qu Gu turned his head and saw the porcelain spoon in Ouyang Ke's hand falling on the table, but he didn't notice it, but his eyes were serious and his expression was uncertain.

Qu Gu sent the old man out, and when he came back, he saw Ouyang Ke had finished his breakfast and was playing with a small medicine bottle, still lost in thought.

Seeing that Qu Gu had finished his breakfast, Ouyang Ke said, "Let's hurry up and get on the road." Although Qu Gu was reluctant to leave the old man, he also knew that he couldn't eat and drink here for nothing, so he nodded, took out another piece of silver, and said : "These silver coins are the money for the two of us to buy clothes, meals and lodging."

Ouyang Ke didn't object, but just urged Qu Gu to leave.Qu Gu didn't take it seriously, he just thought he was impatient, he also packed his things, helped Ouyang Ke to sit back on the bamboo mat, and then dragged him away.Just as he was about to close the door, Ouyang Ke called her again, handed the medicine bottle he had been playing with to Qu Gu, and said, "Dip a leaf with the water inside, and paint it on the door panel."

Qu Guqi asked, "What is this for?"

Ouyang Ke said with a little impatience on his face: "It's nothing, you just do it. Hurry up and get on the road when you're done!"

Qu Gu opened the cork of the bottle and immediately smelled a faint fragrance. He was about to pour the liquid inside on a leaf when he suddenly paused and said with frowned: "No, isn't this a good thing?!"

Ouyang Ke's eyebrows twitched, and he was startled: Qu Gu has always been simple-minded, how could he realize that he was going to poison him?On the face, he said calmly: "What nonsense, why is it not a good thing?"

Qu Guxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: "You scoundrel, you are obviously trying to harm someone! Your bottle of golden sore medicine has been used up, this is another bottle, something you dare not use yourself, what good could it be?!"

With a stretch of her arm, she handed the bottle to Ouyang Ke, only to see a dead moth lying on it.It turned out that just as Qu Gu opened the bottle cap, a moth happened to fly over, landed on the mouth of the bottle and was poisoned to death by the venom on it.Although Qu Gu knew it must not be a good thing, he didn't know that it was actually a poisonous thing.She was very grateful for the old man's kindness in her heart, she never thought that Ouyang Ke would trick her into poisoning others, she couldn't help staring at Ouyang Ke angrily, trembling all over with anger.
