Legend of the Knight

Chapter 176
The daily high-intensity rush will gradually overdraw people's physical strength, so every time the caravan arrives at a town to replenish, it will take advantage of the opportunity of replenishment to let everyone have a rest.

This time when they arrived in a small county, the caravan decided to rest for three days.

Yesterday, the caravan directly bought a flock of sheep. At night, after piles of bonfires were lit, the whole camp was filled with the smell of mutton soup.

The carnival lasted until late at night, and until the next morning, many people still got up very early and started busy.

As long as you don't continue on your way, doing something is tantamount to taking a rest.

Ji Wushuang also got up very early. She found a soup and cake shop in a small town, and borrowed the boss's pot and stove to start making dim sum.

Huang Xiaoshi is a person who loves to eat, and he is extremely picky about food. He has neither eaten nor rested during the journey. Since today is a rest, Ji Wushuang naturally wants to make some delicious food for him.

The sun had risen, and it was warm everywhere. Only then did Huang Xiaoshi wake up.

It is said that Huang Xiaoshi was in this state when he could not wake up in the first 30 years.

After Huang Xiaoshi woke up, he brushed his teeth and washed his face step by step, it was almost noon.

At this time Ji Wushuang came over, and she prepared meals for Huang Xiaoshi.

……

A low table was placed under a big tree, and two clean embroidered rugs were spread on both sides of the table.

On the table were chopped lamb ribs, refined white salt, some preserved fruits and snacks, and two jars of aged wine were placed under the table.

This is already the best thing you can buy in this small county.

After Ji Wushuang brought Huang Xiaoshi under the tree, the two sat on the floor, both on the carpet.

Looking at the refined food on the table, Huang Xiaoshi knew that Ji Wushuang had a heart.

Huang Xiaoshi is good at eating, but he can't cook.

Of course, he can't be blamed for this.Young people can't cook, this is the performance of the progress of the times.

"My lord, please try my slave's craftsmanship." Ji Wushuang said softly to Huang Xiaoshi.

Good thing I washed my hands in the morning.

Huang Xiaoshi directly picked up a mutton rib with his hands, dipped it in a little salt, and gnawed it.

The ribs are cooked well, the heat is just right, and the mutton is cooked without being too old.

When it comes to eating mutton, the habits of nomadic tribes and Central Plains people are opposite.

People in the tribe like to eat mutton medium-rare, that is, after cutting the meat, you can still see the reddish color of the meat.

After cutting the meat, the blood between the meat can be squeezed out.

Another way of eating that people in the Central Plains like is to cut the mutton into slices and stew it slowly over low heat until it is rotten.

For example, yesterday's mutton soup had been boiled for at least an hour, and the oil in the bones was empty.

For Huang Xiaoshi, both ways of eating are acceptable.In the food industry, he is well-informed and highly receptive.

Huang Xiaoshi was concentrating on dealing with the mutton, while Ji Wushuang took out a pipa out of nowhere, and flicked it lightly.

The pipa was played very softly, which was beyond Huang Xiaoshi's expectation. He didn't expect Ji Wushuang to play the pipa so well.

It's hard to say about other musical instruments, but Huang Xiaoshi knows a lot about pipa.

Here, good days, beautiful scenery, delicious food, beauties, and music, although in the wild, this kind of enjoyment is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

At the end of the song, Ji Wushuang held the pipa and half covered her face, she asked softly: "Young master, I have something to ask."

"En." Huang Xiaoshi replied, he probably guessed what Ji Wushuang wanted to say.

After putting down the pipa, Ji Wushuang opened the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for Huang Xiaoshi, then knelt on the ground and handed the bowl to his eyes.

After Huang Xiaoshi took the wine bowl, he didn't drink it, but stared at the dark mountain mist in the distance with rapt eyes.

"Young Master." Ji Wushuang put down the wine jar and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Wu Shuang has traveled thousands of miles with Young Master. Along the way, even other people can see Wu Shuang's feelings for Young Master. Does Young Master know?"

Huang Xiaoshi didn't expect Ji Wushuang to be so straightforward. After he was silent for a while, he concentrated on dealing with the dried fruit.

"Young Master." Ji Wushuang looked at Huang Xiaoshi's side face and said calmly, "Young Master, do you think Wushuang is right?"

Huang Xiaoshi held a dried fruit in his hand and squeezed it for a while, then nodded slowly.

When Ji Wushuang heard this, she immediately became happy, and she said to Huang Xiaoshi: "My family is willing to serve you by your side from now on."

After Huang Xiaoshi was silent for a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't want it."

After Ji Wushuang, who was still happy, heard this, his smiling face suddenly petrified.

"Snapped!"

Ji Wushuang threw the wine jar, which was about to pour wine for Huang Xiaoshi, onto the wooden table, the jar shattered, and the wine splashed.

Ji Wushuang stood up, and she condescendingly asked Huang Xiaoshi angrily, "What do you mean?!"

Huang Xiaoshi silently watched the wine on the table slowly flow to the ground.

"Could it be that you think I'm too old?" Ji Wushuang said bitterly to Huang Xiaoshi.

Huang Xiaoshi shook his head.

"That's why you don't believe that I'm still a virgin?!" Ji Wushuang roared at Huang Xiaoshi.

Ji Wushuang.

The name originally referred to her value.

Ji, because of her origin, her mother was a Ji, also called half-geisha, so she was born Ji.

Wushuang, because she has been a beauty since she was a child, and the big boss would praise everyone: "This girl will definitely be unparalleled in beauty in the future."

Since it is a "high-end product" with extremely high value, Ji Wushuang has received excellent care since childhood.

These cares were not given in vain, but it brought Ji Wushuang a carefree childhood.

The turning point was when Ji Wushuang was ten years old.

With the expansion and expansion of Tianlongjiao, it entered the Western Regions.

Xiaotucheng, where Ji Wushuang was located, was incorporated into the territory of Tianlong Sect.

Yasha of Babu Tianlong was among a bunch of children, and he took a fancy to Ji Wushuang at a glance, and then took her away without spending a penny.

Ten-year-old Ji Wushuang has been practicing dancing hard for five years, and then her spirituality on the way of dancing surprised Yasha.

But the big boss didn't lose money. After that, Ji Wushuang would give him a lot of money every year, a lot of money.

The money is the pocket money that Yasha gave Ji Wushuang. To cultivate Ji Wushuang's nobility, Yasha needs money, the most money.

Ji Wushuang secretly saved money, and she gave the money to the big boss as her mother's maintenance.

When Ji Wushuang was accepted as a direct disciple by Yasha, the big boss didn't dare to take her money anymore, and he took the initiative to take care of Ji Wushuang's mother.

Anyway, it's raising an extra old woman, and it doesn't cost a lot of money, but the benefits it gets are not comparable to this little money.

Part of Ji Wushuang's charm was born in her mother's womb, and part was forcibly trained since childhood.She is a concubine herself, if she doesn't learn how to seduce men, what will she learn?
After Yasha accepted Ji Wushuang as his apprentice, he also strictly demanded that Ji Wushuang remain a virgin, not because of anything else, but because of her value as a woman.

High-value commodities need to be used where they are worth consuming.

The most worthwhile place to consume Ji Wushuang is the court of the Central Plains.

However, this opportunity is not easy to find, but Ji Wushuang is a rare and high-value commodity with a long shelf life.

I'd rather wait.

In this way, Ji Wushuang followed Yasha for many years, but the situation suddenly changed dramatically.

Heavenly King suddenly disappeared, and the matter of presenting gifts to the Central Plains court was naturally put on hold.

But at this time, Yesha is still very strict with Ji Wushuang, at least he has not been harmed by other men like Fan Weili.

A few years later, a major event that could shake the Heavenly Dragon Sect happened.

The team that went to rescue Tianwang was intercepted and killed on the way back, and Tianwang disappeared. At the same time, Yasha and Mohuraka died in battle.

Later, Ji Wushuang inherited the name of Yasha and became one of the eight dragons.

After Ji Wushuang became Yasha, no one dared to exchange her body for anything else, not even the Dragon King.

As a result, Ji Wushuang grew old slowly by himself like this.

Today, Ji Wushuang finally showed her heart in front of the person she likes, but Huang Xiaoshi doubted her own chastity, how could she not be angry.

Seeing the enraged Ji Wushuang, Huang Xiaoshi didn't stay silent anymore, he really didn't have this concept in his mind at all.

They are all people who have played crazy, who still cares about these feelings.

Just when Ji Wushuang was about to go mad in anger, Huang Xiaoshi shook his head again, and he said to Ji Wushuang: "No, I never thought about it, and I don't care about such things."

"why!!"

It's not that, it's not that, isn't it playing with my old lady!

Ji Wushuang asked almost gnashing his teeth.

"That's because." Huang Xiaoshi was silent for a while, and his heart ached, but he couldn't tell the reason at all.

This is an unexplained reason.

After being silent for a while, Huang Xiaoshi said to Ji Wushuang: "Please believe me, I have my own reasons. There are many good men in this world, you shouldn't look for me. I can't like you."

Ji Wushuang heard something in Huang Xiaoshi's words.

At this time, a stupid woman will break the casserole and ask the bottom line. She must ask the man's difficulties clearly and force him to speak out in person.

And doing so, in addition to getting an answer in the end, will actually make the relationship between the two people break down more completely.

Ji Wushuang is a smart woman, so she knows that now she needs to change the topic of the two of them.

Ji Wushuang suppressed the grief in her heart, she said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Young Master, Wushuang will dance for you."

Ji Wushuang stretched out his sleeves and started dancing.

Today's clothes are not the red gauze dress that Ji Wushuang wore in the past, but very ordinary tribal costumes, but Ji Wushuang's dance is very good.

Dancing is what Ji Wushuang is best at. Dancing has accompanied her through the most important years of her life.

The big boss and Yasha were right, Ji Wushuang is a peerless treasure.

……

After Ji Wushuang danced a few steps, she stopped.

Ji Wushuang said to Huang Xiaoshi with some embarrassment: "There is no accompaniment music, this dance is not very good."

Ji Wushuang is good at dancing, but when she used to dance, there was always accompaniment beside her.

Now there is dancing but no music. After doing a few moves, Ji Wushuang feels like there is food without salt and lack of flavor.

Huang Xiaoshi glanced left and right, and he saw Ji Wushuang's pipa thrown on the ground next to him.

"My lord can play the pipa?" Ji Wushuang asked curiously when he saw Huang Xiaoshi holding the pipa.

"A little while." Huang Xiaoshi said without raising his head as he was reaching out to touch the strings of the pipa.

Huang Xiaoshi has learned pipa for nine years, that is to say, he has been learning pipa for nine years from elementary school to junior high school.

All the teachers who teach pipa have praised that Huang Xiaoshi has a pair of dexterous hands.

After studying for nine years, it is not useless. Huang Xiaoshi participated in a provincial team performance at the highest level and won an award.

I stopped learning pipa in high school because my studies were too heavy.

For Huang Xiaoshi, there was nothing to show off.

Because Huang Xiaoshi's pipa skills are just a manifestation of his father's ability.

The so-called expertise in musical instruments can always be found by spending money.

And the child's specialties are nothing more than medals that middle-aged men show off at parties.

However, after not participating in high-intensity practice, Huang Xiaoshi fell in love with pipa instead, because he has a pair of extremely nimble hands.

The mind is dexterous.

Huang Xiaoshi likes to repeat mechanical movements so that he can think more quickly.

So in the last semester of senior year, the family invited Huang Xiaoshi to tutor him, and he suspended school and studied at home alone.

When the private teacher left home after class, Huang Xiaoshi sat with a pile of papers, and he fell in love with thinking about difficult problems while playing the pipa.

It's just that Huang Xiaoshi hasn't touched this thing since he crossed over, and now he doesn't know what to do.

After touching the strings and trying to test the sound again, Huang Xiaoshi started to warm up from simple single-string tones while holding the pipa.

Someone once laughed at Huang Xiaoshi, saying that a man who plays the pipa is a good mother.

Huang Xiaoshi flicked his hands and gave him a picture of Ang Kong playing the pipa, which made his face blurred.

After auditioning for a while, Huang Xiaoshi gradually found the feeling.

When it comes to songs that are suitable for dancing, Huang Xiaoshi will have one, which is also the award-winning song of their performance troupe.

In this piece, the pipa is the main sound, which needs to be played from the beginning to the end.

In order to play this song well, the real man Huang Xiaoshi cried at least ten times.

"Okay, come on, dance."

Before Huang Xiaoshi could finish his sentence, a tune engraved in Huang Xiaoshi's DNA began to play along with his hands.

This is the song "Yun Gong Xun Yin", which is extremely difficult for the audience to perform because it is too familiar.

With the sound of the tune, Ji Wushuang threw off her long sleeves and started dancing.

It was the first time for Ji Wushuang to hear this song, and the majestic atmosphere of this song reveals an ethereal meaning, and she happens to know a kind of dance.

Ji Wushuang can hear the meaning of Huang Xiaoshi's song, and Huang Xiaoshi can also understand the meaning of Ji Wushuang's dance.

At the end of the song, Ji Wushuang folded his sleeves and knelt down.

Half silent.

"Okay!" Huang Xiaoshi couldn't help shouting first.

In the midst of applause, Ji Wushuang got up gracefully, she bowed to Huang Xiaoshi first, and then said: "I didn't expect you to play the pipa so well."

Not just good, it's a fairy sound.

People in this world don't know how to make such a fairy sound.

It ends in one song, too short.

Huang Xiaoshi, who had just had a bowl of wine, was in high spirits.

"What's playing, I can sing." Huang Xiaoshi threw off his sleeves and said to Ji Wushuang, "Listen well."

Huang Xiaoshi cleared his throat, and began to whistle loudly while playing the pipa.

"Ah~~, ah~~, ah~~"

This song is very difficult. For this reason, Huang Xiaoshi specially hired a private teacher. There are three classes a week, each class costs 1500 yuan, and he starts to learn carefully from inhalation, ventilation, exhalation, and pronunciation.

For this song, Huang Xiaoshi never let go of his pipa after he arrived at university.

When Huang Xiaoshi's long whistle reached the highest pitch, it stopped suddenly, and then his singing became softer.

"When the mountains have no edges and corners;
when the river no longer flows;

When time stands still day and night;
Everything in the sky and the earth is turned into nothingness..."

This song is one of the deepest memories of Huang Xiaoshi's childhood. In his heart, this song is not only a memory of the holiday, but also represents the love that has been pledged to each other.

A love that can never be broken.

"I still can't part with you;

can't break up with you;

Your tenderness is the greatest waiting in my life..."

This is what Huang Xiaoshi prepared for the girl he loves the most. He is going to sing this song to her on the day of proposing.

For that moment, Huang Xiaoshi practiced very hard.

It's just that Huang Xiaoshi is a very boring person. He has never played this song in front of others. He always goes directly to the karaoke venue and sings it behind closed doors.

"Let us live as companions in the world of mortals;

Riding the horse galloping to share the prosperity of the world;

Sing out your heart's joy to the wine;

Vigorously grasp the youthful years..."

During the singing, Huang Xiaoshi thought of his silly self in the past, with an intoxicated and happy smile on his face.

After repeating it several times, Huang Xiaoshi screamed again, but this time his voice was full of sadness.

At the end of the song, Ji Wushuang was stunned.

Ji Wushuang, who grew up in singing, dancing and music, has a very high vision after seeing many peerless masters, but this song still shocked her and moved her deeply.

"What is this song?" Ji Wushuang asked softly.

Huang Xiaoshi let out a long sigh, put down the pipa in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "This is a song I prepared for my beloved, but it's a pity that it's useless."

"She...?" Ji Wushuang asked, suppressing the sadness in his heart.

"She's not dead." Huang Xiaoshi's voice suddenly became normal, and he said, "She's still alive and well. It's just..."

Huang Xiaoshi paused at this point.

You've already missed a good girl, are you going to miss a second one?

Huang Xiaoshi suddenly came to his senses, wasn't the thing he had been looking for all this time, right in front of him?
Ji Wushuang asked, "Just what?"

"It's just that I can't love her yet." Huang Xiaoshi looked at Ji Wushuang and stopped talking.

Ji Wushuang's eyes turned red, and she said to Huang Xiaoshi, "I am willing to wait."

Huang Xiaoshi stopped talking, turned around and put down the pipa in his hand, picked up a lamb rib and started to chew again.

"Well, with some wine, the taste is a bit strange, but it's okay?"

Smart men also know how to change the subject.

"Really, give me a taste."

Huang Xiaoshi looked at Ji Wushuang, but he didn't say the phrase "don't wait" after all.
