Yan Fei

Chapter 26

The wind blows leisurely, and the paper kites in the sky fly leisurely.

A big yellow-haired dog was squatting on the haystack, looking eagerly at the paper kite above his head.

A young man in brocade clothes was lying beside it, his untied black hair spread out in a big pile under his body.

The one with the paper kite was a little girl standing not far away. She looked older than him, but her face was not as stiff as his pitiful one, and her expression was very lively.

"Master! Miss! Go back to dinner!"

The little girl responded to the woman who called them to eat, obediently put away the paper kite, and lay down on the edge of the haystack: "Swallow, go back to eat."

"I told you not to call me a swallow!" The little boy rolled aside, rolled down the haystack, patted the corner of his clothes, took the paper kite from the little girl's hand, and followed her.

This is a large grassland, the sea of ​​green grass stretches as far as the eye can see, and it seems to be shining under the clear sky.In fact, about ten miles to the east of this haystack is a cliff facing the sea. The whole grassland smells fresh and refreshing, and it is very cool to come here in summer.

From a distance, the meadow at this time looks like a few snow-white flowers, but from a close look, it is a few white curtains.

The tempting smell is lingering outside the house, and the appetizing white smoke floats leisurely from the cracks in the tent.

"Auntie! We're back!" The little girl shouted, opening the curtain from the tent.

The woman in the tent took a bowl from the pot to eat, and handed it to the little girl: "Miss, today I will eat meat porridge, and I will go to rest after eating. The same goes for the young master."

Yan'er, who was called Miss, responded, and Yanzi slowly put the paper kite away, and came to pick up the dinner.

"Auntie, when shall we collect the bill and return home?"

"The master hasn't returned to the house recently, and the wife hasn't come back either, so let's stay for a while."

"What the hell is dad doing?" Yanzi asked, staring into the woman's eyes.

"Master, don't ask any more questions." The woman smiled, turned around and went to do other things.

Yanzi's face suddenly became terribly gloomy.

"Sister, let's go." Yanzi pulled Yan'er and walked out of the tent.Yan'er was at a loss, so she had no choice but to follow out with a bowl of porridge stuffed into her mouth.

The sky on the pasture had already darkened, Yanzi let Yan'er go back to his tent, and then rode to the cliff by the sea with a knife in his hand.There are occasional pirates coming ashore here, and the pasture is sparsely populated. If he can see it, he can report it to the accompanying masters in time.

Ever since he came to this pasture, he would come here to sit here every night until the time of Hai, and it would not be too boring to look at the sky on days when he had nothing to do.

But today is obviously different.After all, it's not every day that you can see a half-dead person lying on the beach.

Yanzi grabbed the rocks on the cliff and jumped directly, the left and right sides are not too high, at most he would break his leg, not to mention he is not that fragile.

The person lying on the stomach was taller than him, and looked bigger, wrapped in coarse clothes, and his face and front were covered with sand.

Yanzi kicked him unceremoniously. Seeing that he didn't respond, he directly put the horse on the back of the horse that came down the slope, and walked unsteadily back to the place where they pitched the tent.

The pasture is full of weeds that can burn half the sky red with a little bit, and there is no fire outside. Even the stove in the tent needs to be covered with several layers of stone slabs on the original carpet.Swallow didn't dare to bring out any fire pockets, and it was precisely because there was no fire that the moon was really bright.

Yanzi led the horse out of his tent, pulled the man down, and helped him into the tent.There is a lantern in his tent, the kind with candles inside and covered with glass outside, bought from overseas merchants, as long as it doesn't get knocked over, it's fine.

The man was dragged to the bed by the swallows. He first brought the lantern and put it on a small table at the head of the bed, then squatted by the bed and thought for a while, found a strong hemp rope, and quickly gave him hands and feet. tied up.

Afterwards, he didn't do anything other than feed him some food and roughly wiped his face, and simply fell asleep beside him.The identity of this person is not yet clear, and it is difficult for him to do other actions.

The first thing to wake up in the morning on the pasture is the eagle foraging for food.The sharp birdsong pierced people's ears, and it was hard not to wake up.Yanzi yawned and rolled around on the bed, facing the wide-open eyes of the person he picked up earlier.

Swallow whistled and said, "Oh, are you awake?"

"……let me go."

"Not at all." Yanzi jumped out of bed, changed her clothes, and opened the curtain to go out after washing.Not long after, he brought back a plucked rabbit that had stopped cooking, put a few stone slabs in the tent, lit a fire, put the rabbit on a skewer, and started roasting it.The smell of the fresh meat rolled up from the rabbit roasted at high temperature made the man swallow his saliva.

Yanzi took the rabbit and swayed it in front of the man, saying, "Want to eat it? Tell me first why you are there."

"Why should I tell you……"

"Oh, then I'll eat the rabbit." Saying that, Yanzi tore a piece of rabbit leg meat, put it in his mouth and chewed loudly.

"Tsk... I just want to go to the Northern Territory."

"Northern Territory? Then you're going the wrong way, you have to go west." Swallow untied his hands and feet, tore off the rabbit meat piece by piece, fed him a bite, and gave himself a bite.

"Thank you... can you pull... my eyes... hurt..."

Just now when Swallow came in, he pushed the tent door aside, and all the light came in, barely falling in front of him to finish the calculation.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"It just... hurts." He breathed a sigh of relief after Yanzi opened the tent door.

"I'll ask for water to bathe you later. I only gave you a rough scrub last night. It's better to wash it carefully."

"Thank you."

"Are you going on your way?" Swallow wiped his hands and threw the remaining skeleton of the eaten rabbit into the corner.

"It should be...it's better to leave earlier."

"That's good... I'll get you some medicine, and we're leaving too... Tsk."

"What?" the man rubbed his wrist and asked.

"I don't know if we can go back sooner. The old woman we are accompanying doesn't seem to want us to go."

"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with your people?"

"I'm sure." He pouted, "Laughing like something..."

"...How about it," the man took out a golden bird from his arms and handed it to him, "If you have any trouble, just hand it over to the local pawnshop under Wan Xuyuan. But it can only be used once, after that we will owe nothing to anyone.”

Yanzi looked at the little bird, nodded, and took it into his arms without hesitation.

"...You are really straightforward."

"It's useless, don't use it for nothing. But I will keep it in my pocket, and don't worry about losing it to you."

The swallow packed some dry food and a compass into his pack, and sent him away on the second night.

As if she had done a great deed, Yanzi put her hands on her hips, grinned proudly, and went back to the tent to pack her things.

He will finally be able to go back tomorrow, mother has already returned to the mansion, and soon, father will also be able to return to the mansion.

But that night he lay in bed, tossing and turning, always having trouble falling asleep.He always felt as if something was making him tangled and uncomfortable.
