Chapter 71

    Wen Lisheng was still immersed in surprise.

    In any case, she never thought that Xie Xiaonan would actually feed Shen Jiaqing himself.

    It's weird anyway.

    Shen Jiaqing yawned after eating, and then said with self-loathing: "My mouth smells like radish, I really can't stand it."

    Wen Lisheng said, "It's good to eat some, let's be content, it's the prince who will feed it to you personally. ."

    "I haven't even given him a bite to eat..." she muttered in a low voice.

    When Shen Jiaqing heard it, she nodded her head and said: "Indeed, you are not qualified to enjoy this honor."

    Wen Lisheng snorted coldly, thinking that he was a half-crippled poor man with his arms down for the time being, and did not argue with him.

    The two of them were talking, when suddenly one of them turned from the outside to the top of the wall next to him, squatted on it and looked down: "Miss Wen, have you seen the young master?"

    Wen Lisheng looked at the sound and saw Qiao on the top of the wall. Ling, she pointed to the open door and asked: "Isn't the door open?"

    Qiao Lingwen smiled and said, "

    It's more convenient to climb over the wall." That's right. The wall couldn't be easier, Wen Lisheng said, "The prince just entered the room."

    Qiao Ling jumped off the wall, accompanied by a crisp sound, Wen Lisheng suddenly looked at him again: "What sound is it?"

    Immediately afterwards, he saw a string of white bones hanging from Qiao Ling's waist. It was probably an animal bone. It was hollowed out. After seven or eight, they collided lightly when walking, making a strange noise.

    This kind of sound is different from the bell. It is not so light and sharp, but muffled. The sound is not clear but also extremely pleasant.

    "Bone bell?" Wen Lisheng looked curiously.

    This kind of bone bell, she heard from Chang Wen Pu, it is said that this kind of thing will only appear in the home of the hunter at first. The family will skin and bone the beasts they usually hunt, and make bells from the bones, which are hung under the eaves. It is said that when the wind blows, the sound of the bone bells can be heard far away, and the hunters in the deep mountains will return home after hearing it. .

    Later, the saying of bone bells spread, people regard bone bells as a sustenance for missing their relatives. If there are relatives in the family who are looking for a living outside of the country, or relatives who cannot return home all year round, they will hang the bone bells under the eaves during festivals and windows. On the side, all over the trees, I think that the loved ones who are missing will go home earlier when the bell rings.

    Bone bells began to circulate in the market, but most of them were made of poultry bones, and there were basically no bones of wild animals.

    However, because the production of this kind of bell is too limited, and the sound is not light, there are no other bells that sound and beautiful, so they gradually disappeared from people's sight. exists.

    Wen Puchang used to have a pair of bone bells, but Wen Lisheng had never seen them before, but just now when she heard the sound of the bone bell hanging from Qiao Ling's waist, she felt quite familiar with the sound.     Wen Lisheng guessed that maybe when she was young, the Wen family had such a pair of bone bells hanging under the eaves, and it would ring every time the wind blew, so she left her with a familiar thought, but it was still there. Before she could remember growing up, the bone bell was lost.     Seeing her staring at the bone bell around his waist, Qiao Ling suddenly smiled, and the smile stretched from the tip of his eyebrows to the corner of his eyes, as if there was a hidden layer of joy: "Miss Wen still knows about the bone bell?"     "I heard of it." Wen Lisheng asked, "What kind of bones are your bells made of?"     "There are deer, bears, tigers and wolves," Qiao Ling said.     Wen Lisheng said in surprise, "Did you take a finger bone?"     Qiao Ling nodded.













    Wen Lisheng saw that some of those bones were glowing with old yellow, and some were still very white, and there seemed to be a clear distinction between old and new, and sighed: "Your bones, some of them have been more than three years old? How long?"

    "Yeah." Qiao Ling touched the bone bell hanging with his right hand, and said, "These are the trophies that the prince has killed in hunting in recent years, and the oldest is probably five years old. "

    The prince hunted?" Wen Lisheng was a little surprised.

    Qiao Ling said: "The royal family organizes a hunting operation every spring, and the young master has participated in it every year since he was twelve years old."

    Wen Lisheng quickly realized that Qiao Ling grew up beside Xie Xiaonan since childhood. Every time Xie Xiaonan went to hunt or something, Qiao Ling would definitely follow.

    He just didn't expect that he would collect these bones, take care of them, and wear them as bone age. It can be seen that the relationship between Xie Xiaonan and Qiao Ling is not that of an ordinary master and servant.

    "Why haven't I seen you bring this thing before?"

    "The bone bell needs to be carefully cared for, and it is often wiped with special oil, so it is not often taken out." Qiao Ling explained: "And every time it moves, it makes a noise to the ordinary people. It is also inconvenient to move."

    "Qiao Ling." Xie Xiaonan's voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two, as soon as he turned his head, he saw him standing by the window in the house, and said to Qiao Ling, "What are you looking for me for? ?"

    Qiao Ling and Wen Lisheng said goodbye, turned their heads and walked towards the window, the bone bell rang softly as he walked.

    Shen Jiaqing was jealous: "I also want this kind of thing made by my uncle."

    "How could Shizi do that kind of thing? At first glance, Qiao Ling collected the bones and strung them together." Wen Lisheng thought After thinking about it, she felt that Shen Jiaqing was also a playmate she grew up with, and she could satisfy this little wish, so she said, "But if you really want it, I can find some chicken and duck bones to make one for you, Although it may not be as good-looking as Qiao Ling."

    Shen Jiaqing answered decisively: "I don't want it."

    Wen Lisheng sneered and turned away.

    Shen Jiaqing sat in the courtyard for a while with his weak arms drooping, then got up and went back to his room.

    Xu was because he didn't rest well last night, Wen Lisheng's spirit was a little lethargic, and even wanted to sleep after eating a full meal, she rubbed her sleepy face, got up and went to Xie Xiaonan's house.

    Wen Pu was away at the moment, so she was a lot presumptuous and knocked on Xie Xiaonan's door directly.

    Soon the door was opened from the inside, and Xie Xiaonan had already taken off his cloak and coat, and seemed to be planning to take a nap in the afternoon.

    Wen Lisheng was obviously an uninvited guest, she smiled at Xie Xiaonan, and then walked straight into the room swaggeringly.

    His room was still as warm as always, with a faint fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy after smelling it. Wen Lisheng took a few steps in with his hands behind his back, pretending to be: "Is the prince planning to sleep? There are many things in the daytime. Haven't you finished it yet? Why are you starting to be lazy?"

    Xie Xiaonan raised her brows lightly: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

    Wen Lisheng said, "It's a random suggestion, if you don't accept it."

    He stood by the door and said : "I wake up when I go to bed, and you are still drooling in bed when I go out to work."

    Wen Lisheng calculated the time and only slept for two hours at most. She hurriedly leaned forward with a smile and tiptoed to give him light. Lightly pounding his shoulders, with a dog-legged look: "Sir, it's really hard work, take advantage of the free time now, go to bed and rest."

    Xie Xiaonan tilted his head and lowered his eyes to look at her, with a smile in his slightly curved eyes. Meaning: "So what are you doing here?"

    "Of course I'm here to be the gatekeeper for the prince. While you're sleeping, I won't let anyone disturb you!" Wen Lisheng patted his chest to assure, and then helped Xie Xiaonan He snatched the open door, closed it, and urged, "Sir, go to sleep."

    Xie Xiaonan was really tired, and even when he mentioned the word "sleep", a little sleepiness appeared on his face. Looking at Wen Lisheng in front of him, he instinctively reached out to embrace her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. He touched it, and then said, "I'll take a break, just call me if you have anything."

    Wen Lisheng nodded in agreement.

    Xie Xiaonan only took off his robe and lay on the bed, and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

    Wen Lisheng didn't want to disturb him, went to a semi-reclining chair next to him and sat down, rolled the soft fur on it, leaned his head on the armrest, and looked at Xie Xiaonan, who was gradually falling asleep.

    After a while, Xie Xiaonan's steady breathing came.

    Wen Lisheng thought, he was really tired, he fell asleep after just a while, but when he was talking just now, his expression was the same as usual. Only when he mentioned sleeping, the tiredness on his face would show. Inadvertently revealed a little.

    No matter how powerful Xie Xiaonan is, he is still only an 18-year-old boy, and even his young body can't handle such fatigue.

    She thought of Xie Xiaonan, who was in her twenties in her dream. Her brows and eyes were almost the same as those of him now, but they could be distinguished at a glance. The Xie Xiaonan in the dream has the spirit of an adult man, and is more indifferent and sharp. When he stands still, even with a lazy look between his eyebrows, people can instantly feel the extremely oppressive chilling air in him.

    That was Xie Xiaonan, who had gone through battles big and small. His hands were soaked with blood, and he had the murderous intention of people to stop killing people and Buddha to stop killing Buddha.

    She thought about it, then got up and walked gently to the side of Xie Xiaonan's bed. The floor beside the bed was covered with a soft carpet. She stepped on it with bare feet and sat down without making a sound, her head slowly approaching the bed.

    When Xie Xiaonan fell asleep, he completely suppressed all his emotions. He became calm and gentle, his stretched eyebrows and eyes were extremely delicate, and his long thick black eyelashes were slightly obvious on his fair complexion. The two colors of ink and white, It made Xie Xiaonan look like a little boy who was carefully drawn and polished by ink pen in the painting.

    She heard Xie Xiaonan's breathing, hovering gently around her ear, she couldn't help but get closer, and the closer she got, her breath merged with his breath, and finally Wen Lisheng's lips covered his, but there was only a momentary pause. Then he quietly evacuated.

    Everyone fell asleep, and a secret kiss was nothing.

    Wen Lisheng thought to himself, then looked at him with his arms resting on the bed, his face was close at hand, and their foreheads were almost a fist away, so after staring at Wen Lisheng for a long time, his eyes were a little dizzy.

    She closed her eyes, and in the quiet warmth with a faint fragrance that she liked very much, Wen Lisheng slowly fell asleep beside Xie Xiaonan's head.

    She slept for a long time this time. When she woke up, it was dark, and the room looked extremely dark. Only a candle light on the table was on. Xie Xiaonan was sitting at the table, looking down and reading a book.

    Wen Lisheng sat up, rubbed his eyes, broke the silence with a hoarse and lazy voice, and shouted: "Sir." The

    voice was almost murmured, but Xie Xiaonan still raised his head: "Awake?"

    Wen Lisheng said this Only then did she realize that she was lying on Xie Xiaonan's bed at some point. There was no second bed in this room, so Xie Xiaonan must have picked him up after he woke up.

    Xie Xiaonan's bed was very hard, so Wen Lisheng just slept for a while. After waking up, her shoulders and back started to hurt, and she frowned, "What time is it?"

    "It's getting dark, what time do you say?" He waved to her and said, "Come here."

    Wen Lisheng lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked to the table. When he got closer, he found that Xie Xiaonan had something similar to a map on the table, and there was a brocade on the book next to it. The box, the brocade box is open, and inside is a pretty white bone knife.

    The blade of the bone knife is extremely sharp. There is a circle of golden texture along the edge of the blade. The hilt is wrapped with a finely woven black thread, in which a blood-red gemstone is embedded. The top of the hilt has a black fringe.

    Wen Lisheng looked surprised.

    She had seen this bone knife, and the knife in her memory was very worn. The black braided threads on it were all dried-up bloodstains, the blade also had many small gaps, and the rubies were full of wear marks.

    That night when she secretly escaped from the Sun House, it was this knife that suddenly stabbed in front of her, blocking her way and cutting off a little of her hair.

    Xie Xiaonan always played with the bone knife in his hand. When Sun Zhai was supervising the soldiers' drills, he would sit under the tree and threw the bone knife on the tree one by one, then pulled it back and threw it again, and then got up. Just put it on your waist and always carry it with you.

    Wen Lisheng did not expect that the worn and yellowed bone knife was so beautiful and sharp at first.

    Before she could make a sound, Xie Xiaonan stopped her waist and pulled her into his arms.

    She leaned back, leaned against the table, and looked at Xie Xiaonan sideways: "Has the prince rested?" Xie Xiaonan leaned her head toward her face,     and

    answered her question first: "Naturally."

He lowered his head and kissed it, pressed his body forward, and Wen Lisheng's back was against the table. Instantly, his nose, lips and teeth were filled with Xie Xiaonan's breath. He seemed to have drank tea, and the tip of his tongue was curled with a strong aroma of tea. Every tooth in the mouth is also stained with this tea fragrance.

    She swallowed the aroma of the tea, and the temperature climbed up from her neck, but her ears turned red in a moment. At first, her hands subconsciously placed in front of Xie Xiaonan's shoulders. After her lips and teeth blended, she became a little confused, and unintentionally stretched out her hands to take the initiative. He hugged Xie Xiaonan's neck.

    After Xie Xiaonan let go of her, she smacked her lips twice and tasted the aroma of the tea in her mouth: "What kind of tea is this, it smells so good."

    He said against her forehead, his voice low and hoarse, stained with strong affection : "I'll get someone to give it to you later."

    Wen Lisheng said, why would Xie Xiaonan give it to her as long as she praised something a little? After she brought her things home earlier, her father said that she was almost like a beggar on the side of the road.

    Wen Lisheng felt that she was particularly wronged, she really didn't want it, she just asked casually.

    So she changed the subject, turned her head and pointed to the bone knife in the box and said, "Sir, this knife looks so beautiful, is it made of bone? It's the first time I've seen a bone knife."

    Xie Xiaonan swept the words Glancing at the bone knife in the box, he said, "I can't give you this."

    Wen Lisheng really couldn't help it: "Am I a beggar in your eyes?"

Chapter 72

    Xie Xiaonan looked at her somewhat annoyed face and couldn't help but smile.

    After laughing for a while, he slowly said, "It's not because I think you want everything, but I just want to give you everything you like."

    Wen Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his lips a little embarrassedly : "Sometimes I just ask out of curiosity, every time I take something from you, I will be disciplined by my father."

    Xie Xiaonan thought about it: "After I finish my business in Yiguan and return to Xijing , I went to Wen's house to propose marriage with my father."

    Wen Lisheng heard this and imagined the expression on Xie Xiaonan's father's face when he came to propose a kiss, and suddenly burst out laughing in Xie Xiaonan's arms: "My father is sure I'm scared to death, hahahaha."

    Xie Xiaonan said, "Then I'll let Lord Wen know first?"

    Wen Lisheng immediately shook his head: "No, no, my relationship with you now is just relatively close in my father's eyes, because I played with Shen Jiaqing like this since I was a child, he didn't think it was anything, he just told me not to provoke you, but if you broke our relationship with him, I can't come to you again."

    Xie Xiaonan felt the matter It will be over soon, and I can't hide it for long, so I promise.

    After the two talked for a while, Wen Lisheng stood up from his arms: "I should go, my father should be back soon

    after it gets dark." Xie Xiaonan responded, kissed her on the cheek, and released her After leaving the room, the candle light flickered slightly before returning to the table, and the light hit the bone knife in the box, outlining the delicate arc of the blade.

    He turned his gaze back on the bone knife, and lowered his head to study the picture on the table.

    When Wen Lisheng came out of Xie Xiaonan's room, there was no one in the yard, only the lights were on.

    She turned around to look for the dining room, and saw Yu Gui was staring at what the servant was about to eat, she asked casually, "Is my father not back yet?"

    Yu Gui turned her head and said, "Master just came back once. , asked the lady, the slave said that the lady was sleeping, and the master went out again."

    Wen Lisheng shook his head: "I'm really busy, it's getting dark, what else can I do? What about Shen Jiaqing?"

    Yu Gui said, "Master Shen was resting in the room, and just now he insisted on moving the stool and saying that he wanted to restore his arms. Strength, but an instability hit his foot, and now he is lying on the bed and can't get out of it."

    Wen Lisheng was shocked: "He still doesn't stop after all this?"

    Yu Gui: "It has stopped now."

    Wen Lisheng asked her to prepare the meal and bring it to him In the room, passing by Shen Jiaqing's window, she pushed it open and glanced in, and saw Shen Jiaqing lying upright on
