A few miles is actually not that far on foot, and even faster on horseback. When the family of three returned home, there was still a hint of red in the sky to the west, and it was almost dark.
Long-bodied children are the most sleepy. Ding Ling fell asleep on the horse. Ning Tao took her off the horse, brought her into the room, and put her on the bed. Xue Weiyang covered her body with a new quilt she bought and pressed it down.
The two arranged the things they bought in the room, and then left the room. At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the moonlight was also shining down, covering the land like a veil.
Ning Tao took the horse donated by Liu Bei to a mulberry tree next to the house and tied it up, then took a closer look. He remembered a story in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that story was Savior Lu. And the Lu there was Liu Bei's mount. He once carried Liu Bei across Tanxi River, which was several feet wide, and got rid of Cai Mao's pursuers, and that was how the Three Kingdoms came to be. Therefore, Lu also relied on that leap to become a famous horse second only to Red Rabbit Horse.
He was a little curious as to whether this horse was the Luma. When he looked at the horse, he recalled the characteristics of the Luma. However, he only remembered such a story, but he had no impression of what the Luma looked like or even what color it was. , there is no way to judge.
Xue Weiyang stood quietly and watched, her eyes full of admiration and affection. Such an eye for looking at her husband would not be matched by the Zhangcha girl in later generations.
Ning Tao soon lost the mood to study whether this horse was Lu Ma: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what kind of horse it is, as long as it can run, Xue'er, I will take you and Ling'er to ride horses tomorrow."
Xue Weiyang said: "I think it's better to let it grind and grind it. After grinding it out, I can make steamed buns for you and Ling'er."
What a man wants is to ride his horse and whip his horse and gallop gracefully. What women want to do is make grinding noodles and bake steamed buns for men and children to eat. This is the difference between men and women, but it is this simple sentence that sets off her gentleness and virtuousness.
Ning Tao felt a surge of love in his heart, but there was also a trace of melancholy. He wanted to spend more time with such a gentle and virtuous wife, but he didn't know how long he could stay in this past time and space. He couldn't help but look up at the starry night sky, and secretly said in his heart: "God, give me more time, let me spend more time with them."
"Husband?" Xue Weiyang also glanced at the sky and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Ning Tao withdrew his gaze, put his arms around her waist, and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about which star god blessed me to meet such a good woman like you."
A hint of blush appeared on Xue Weiyang's cheeks: "Where is the Star God?"
Ning Tao pointed at a star casually and said, "Did you see it? That star is Buri Xingjun."
"BuRi Xingjun?" Xue Weiyang asked curiously: "What kind of star god is that? I have never heard of it."
Ning Tao hugged her and walked to the woodshed. As he walked, he said, "Let's go to the woodshed, and I will tell you the story of Mr. Buri Xingjun."
Xue Weiyang's face turned redder and her voice became softer: "Just tell stories."
"Only telling stories, does the lady want to tell you anything else?"
"I... don't want to, don't want to." She said she didn't want to, but her legs became weak.
Entering the woodshed, there was another burst of work. Ning Tao placed the golden nan bed in the middle of the woodshed, and Xue Weiyang put sheets and quilts on the new bed.
Ning Tao was anxious to pull her to the bed, but Xue Weiyang said to get a basin of water to wash her feet. Ning Tao was not willing to let her run errands, so he took the foot basin to fetch water from the creek in front of the door.
The stream was gurgling, and Ning Tao stood at the end of a simple stone staircase made of several stones, looking at his own reflection in the backwater bay. For some reason, when looking at the reflection in the water, he always felt that there was a little halo around his head, but he couldn't see it.
The head glows, which is a characteristic that only gods can have.
He secretly thought in his heart: "This is a sign... Could it be that I am about to become a god?"
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through the reflection in the water.
Ning Tao hurriedly raised his head and looked around. He saw a bright light that was suspected to be a meteor flying across the sky. However, in a blink of an eye, it was blocked by the mountain peak and could not be seen.
For a moment, Ning Tao had the idea of making a wish, but in the blink of an eye, he thought, I am Buri Xingjun, the future immortal, do I need to make a wish with a stone? Thinking of this, he made no wish and walked back with a basin of water for washing his feet.
After entering the woodshed, Xue Weiyang sat on the bed in a polite manner. She didn't know where she found a pair of red candles and lit them on the bedside.
The pair of red candles added a bit of joy to this dilapidated woodshed. It would be even more perfect if she wore a bright red wedding dress and covered her head with a red cloth. Unfortunately, this home obviously does not have these things.
Seeing Ning Tao come in, Xue Weiyang hurriedly stood up and came forward, taking the footbath from Ning Tao's hand.
"Husband, sit down and I will wash your feet."
"How about that? Let me wash it for you."
"I can't do it, I can't do it. How can a husband wash his wife's feet? If word gets out, others will poke my spine." Regardless of whether Ning Tao agreed or not, Xue Weiyang pressed Ning Tao on the bed and caught him. Hold his feet and start taking off his shoes and socks.
Ning Tao couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.
Xue Weiyang put Ning Tao's feet into the footbath, watered them, scrubbed them, and kneaded them with gentle and delicate movements.
Ning Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, men still had a high status in ancient times. In the world more than 1,700 years later, where can men find such family treatment? They are always served by washboards, keyboards and even coal slag.
Under the dancing candlelight, the woman kneeling on the hay has a plain face, a handsome face, and a fairy-like appearance. She has a baby bump pressed on her calf, showing a beautiful and alluring figure.
A fire quietly lit up in Ning Tao's body, and his mind became restless.
Xue Weiyang wiped Ning Tao's feet with a rag, then took off her shoes and socks to wash her own feet.
Ning Tao squatted down, grabbed her feet, and washed her feet.
Xue Weiyang hurriedly said: "Husband, I can't do it, I can't do it..."
Ning Tao smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? If you don't tell me and I won't tell you what happened in this room, who knows? Just sit still and don't move. I just like to wash your feet."
Xue Weiyang struggled twice, but couldn't get rid of Ning Tao's loach-catching hands, so she had to give up. Following Ning Tao's gentle movements, she closed her eyes in shame and opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't dare to say anything, and she frowned slightly.
In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and said coquettishly: "Husband, if you want to wash it, wash it well. You are doing this... it's not good."
Ning Tao also wiped her feet with a rag, then climbed onto the golden nanmu bed and looked at his wife with warm eyes.
Xue Weiyang also looked at her husband with eyes, but she was defeated in two seconds. She lowered her head lightly and whispered in a weak voice: "Husband, I only told stories as promised."
Ning Tao was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "I will tell you the story of Mr. Buri Xingjun."
When he came back, he was talking about the story of the three brothers, but thinking about it, she wouldn't be interested. He didn't know what happened before, and she didn't know what happened behind, so what were you talking about
Xue Weiyang listened quietly.
"Speaking of which, Xingjun is now the king of the Flower and Fruit Mountain. He gathers wild fruits for food every day, stays in the Water Curtain Cave at night, and leads a group of monkeys to occupy the mountain and become the king..."
"Then isn't Rixingjun a monkey?"
"It's the Monkey King."
"oh."
"Later, Buri Xingjun was discovered. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers and generals to recruit him, and arranged an errand for Buri Xingjun to kill Ma Wen. It was almost an errand to feed horses. Buri was so arrogant. How could Xingjun be willing to go to Pantaoyuan one day..."
The women of the Three Kingdoms had never heard of the story of "Journey to the West". They were fascinated by it and looked longingly at the eloquent man telling the story.
"Then Sun Xingjun stole the fairy peaches and elixirs, and beat the heavens into a mess. Later, the Jade Emperor sent people to invite the great god Tathagata Buddha. Then BuRi Xingjun and Tathagata Buddha fought, and Tathagata Buddha said BuRi Xingjun's somersault The cloud couldn't come out of his palm. Soon Xingjun was not convinced. He made somersaults for thousands of miles. Finally, he reached Wuzhi Mountain. He peed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. It turned out that it was a finger of Tathagata Buddha. . Before he could put up his pants, Tathagata Buddha turned his palm and pressed Buri Xingjun under the Five Fingers Mountain..."
Xue Weiyang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and then asked: "What next? Husband, please tell me."
Ning Tao shrugged: "No more."
"No more?" Xue Weiyang was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that such a wonderful story was over.
If this were a novel, it would be a waste.
Ning Tao leaned over and said shamelessly: "Madam, my mouth is dry because of my husband's talk. Let's take a rest and talk again tomorrow night."
Xue Weiyang thought deeply about the story of the Monkey King and the Star Lord, and then said: "I will go and get a bowl of water for my husband."
Ning Tao caught her and said, "Madam, the fire in your heart still needs to be extinguished."
Only then did Xue Weiyang realize that her jade cheeks turned red. Unable to match Ning Tao's eyes, she lowered her head and nodded lightly.
There are a few more bits and pieces in the haystack.
"Husband, I will tell you another story about the Monkey King and Sun Xingjun beating the goblin with his stick."
"Speak quickly, speak quickly... Yeah!"
Throughout the ages, how many women have been deceived and beaten by the story about the Monkey King beating the goblin with a stick
No way of knowing.
Open the door and see the immortal.
Ning Tao's eyes fell into darkness. He couldn't feel or see anything except this endless darkness.
Last time, there was light after darkness, and the elixir seeking the ancestral elixir woke up. To a certain extent, Xue Weiyang is her, and she is Xue Weiyang.
He wanted to see her, not only to let her reveal the secret of the day, but at least to know her name, right? He also wants to hear her story...
But this time it was different from last time.
