The dust settles

Chapter 25

27. Fate and Love

Chieftain Ronggong chased her to the pasture with her beautiful daughter.

I was dreaming when they arrived, a very tumultuous dream, the tumult of the flowers that bloom especially luxuriantly by the water.Once or twice I was about to wake up, and faintly heard someone say: "Let him sleep, being the young master of a powerful chieftain is very tiring."

Vaguely, I thought: "It would be even more tiring to be a powerful chieftain."

It was midnight, I woke up again, and heard a loud wind outside.Then he asked in a daze, "Did it blow?"

"No, it's the sound of running water."

I said, "They say that the sound of running water at night means that the daytime is sunny."

"That's right, the young master is very smart." A somewhat unfamiliar voice replied.

This night, I slept very well.Because of this, when I wake up in the morning, I don't want to open my eyes immediately.When I wake up in the morning, I often lose myself and don't know when and where I am.If I opened my eyes hastily, my brain would definitely be emptied by the strong sunlight, like a wine jug, with nothing in it except ding-ding sounds.I move my body first, find parts of my body one after another, then approach the center carefully, and approach my brain carefully, asking questions: Where am I?who I am?

I asked myself, "Who am I?"

It's the second young master of Mai Qi's family, a young master with a bit of a brain problem.

At this moment, a hand with a strong fragrance beside me touched me carefully and asked, "Is the young master awake?"

I couldn't help answering: "I'm awake."

The voice shouted: "Master is awake!"

I felt two or three more people surrounded by fragrance, and one of them said in a dignified voice, "If you wake up, just open your eyes."

Usually, after opening my eyes, I have to stare blankly at something for a while before I remember where I am.In this way, I will not lose myself.Once or twice, I was woken up suddenly, and I didn't know where I was for a whole day.It's the same this time, as soon as I opened my eyes, before I had time to think about the issues that are very important to me and figure out my place in this world, the people around me laughed and said, "Everyone said that the Maiqi family The young master is a fool, but he knows to hide in this place to enjoy happiness."

A hand fell on my shoulder, shook it and said, "Get up, I have something to discuss with you."

Before I could get up, many hands pulled me out of the quilt.Amid the laughter of women, I saw myself at a glance, a naked guy, the thing in the crotch, standing upright in a proud posture.So many women's hands stretched out noisily, and in a short time, I was dressed up.As a result, I can no longer remember where I am.I am still familiar with the layout of the tent.But the seat above me was taken by the chieftain.Several hands dragged me to her.

I asked, "Where am I?"

she laughed.Not to me, but to the maids who dragged me: "If I wake up in the morning, surrounded by people I don't know, I won't know where I am." They all laughed.These women, at a time when even I feel very strange, how can it be impossible to prevent them from chirping.

I said, "Laugh, but I still don't know where this is."

The female chieftain didn't answer my question, but said, "Don't you recognize me?"

How can I not recognize her?But he shook his head.

She gritted her teeth and swung the whip in her hand, the thin tip of the whip actually cut a hole on the roof of the tent.I said, "Where are my people? Where are they?"

"Your people?" "Solang Zelang, Eryi, Zhuoma."

"Dolma, the girl who waits for you to sleep?"

I nodded and said, "She has the same name as the cook and the silversmith's wife."

The female chieftain smiled and said, "Look at these girls around me."

These girls were all beautiful, and I asked, "Are you going to give them all to me?"

"Maybe, if you'll listen to me, but let's eat first."

I found out that none of the people who brought the food in included my servants.I took a few bites and tasted it wasn't made by Sangye Dolma.While the meal was plugging the female chieftain's mouth, I desperately thought about where I was and where all my subordinates went.But I really can't remember.He hugged his head and fell to the ground.Instead, he fell into the arms of a girl.The female chieftain was not angry at all, but said: "As long as you are like this, our affairs will be easy to handle."

I held my head and said to the girl, "My head is going to explode."

The girl's fragrant hands rubbed on my temples.The female toast was full, she asked me: "Can you sit up?"

I just sit up.

"Okay, we can talk about things." The female chieftain said, "You know? You have fallen into my hands."

"I do not know."

"You do not know?"

"Where am I?"

"Don't play dumb, I think you are not the idiot in the legend. I don't know if the second young master of Mai Qi's family is not stupid in the legend, or you are not Mai Qi's second young master."

I told her very sincerely that if you don't tell me where I am now, I can't think of anything, not at all.

"Well," she said, "didn't you hide here in this pasture with the hot springs to hide from me?"

I slapped my forehead hard, and my mind was immediately full. I had everything, and I remembered everything.I said, "I fell asleep yesterday."

The female chieftain smiled coldly: "What are you talking about, you fell asleep yesterday, but today, you woke up."

The conversation gradually deepened, and I finally understood that I was hijacked by the female chieftain.She did not get a single grain of wheat from the steward.The steward said that the grain belonged to Maiqi's family, and he could not make decisions.

She suggested: "Shall we go outside for a walk?"

I agree: "Okay, let's go outside."

My men were watched by men with guns.Look, this is the difference between being a master and a servant.Even in this situation, the young master was surrounded by a group of beautiful women.Walking past those poor servants, I could tell by their faces that they were hungry.I said to the female toast, "They are hungry."

"My people are hungrier than they are," she said.

I said, "Give them something to eat."

"We'll give them food after we've talked."

"Never talk until you feed them."

The chieftain said, "Look, I've competed with a fool."

After speaking, he asked someone to bring them food.My servants looked at me with the eyes of a dog when it sees its master.The female chieftain and I walked around the grassland in a small circle, and when we got back to the tent, she cleared her throat, and I knew it was time to talk about business, so I spoke first; "When are we going to leave?"

There was a look of surprise on her face and she asked me where I was going.

I said, "Go to Rong Gong's cell."

She smiled and said, "My God, you are scared, how could I do such a thing, no, I just want to get food from you. See, because of my stupidity, the people are going to starve. You want Lend me food. I want this, but you avoid it."

The sun has risen very high.It was stuffy in the tent.I feel a little uncomfortable.It can be seen that the female chieftain is more uncomfortable than me.I said that as soon as Toast Lashepa came, he said he wanted to get food.She didn't ask for food when she came.I said, "You didn't tell me, I just saw you brought beautiful girls."

She interrupted me and said, "But Lashepa chieftain didn't get it even after asking for it!"

"We two had a quarrel. He said he was my uncle and I said I was his uncle.

We had an argument. "

This sentence made her laugh: "Yes, yes, he will clearly remember the relationship between many, many years ago.

"He has no money. My father said that the grain of Maiqi's family is worth at least ten times the usual price in these years."

The female chieftain shouted: "Ten times? Tell you, I just borrowed, just borrowed, didn't you hear a tael of silver, not even a tael!"

I smiled and said, "It's too boring, I want to go out."

She had to get up and follow me through the tents.I regard her as a personal servant in my heart.She got impatient and said, "I've never walked up and down like this with a fool. I'm tired and I won't go."

At this time, we just walked to the edge of the hot spring.I took off all my clothes and went into the water, letting myself float in the pool.The female chieftain turned her back to me as if she had never seen a naked man.

I said to her back: "Did you bring a lot of silver?"

"Are you talking about serious things with me like this?"

My father said that we would only be allowed to sell it for ten times the price.He knows that you are like this, you eat up the grain you bought on the way before you can transport it home. "

The female chieftain turned around, with a look of despair on her face, she told her subordinates to retreat, and then said in a tearful tone: "I'm here to borrow food, I don't have that much money, I really don't. Why are you forcing me. Everyone knows that our Ronggong family only has women. Therefore, no one refused our request. Why did you refuse?

Turn down a poor woman. "

"No one in this world has ever bullied a fool. Can a woman bully a fool casually?"

"I'm old, I'm an old woman."

The chieftain called two maids and asked me if I was pretty enough, and I nodded.She sent two maids into the water to come with me.I shook my head.She said: "My God, what more do you want, I have nothing.

I smiled foolishly: "You do, you still have a daughter, don't you?"

She cried out heartbroken: "But you are a fool!"

I didn't say anything more, took a long breath, and buried my head in the water.Since I was a child, I went to the river to play this kind of game in summer, time and time again, and I could hold back in the water for a long time.I sank under the water for a long time before poking my head out of the water.The female chieftain pretended not to see it.I continued to play the game I was good at: sinking and floating again.He snorted like a tired horse.The hot spring water is soft and slippery.People splashed in the water, stirring up a strong smell of sulfur one after another. When the smell washed up, people on the shore felt uncomfortable.I was playing in the water and forgot what I was talking to the chieftain.Women are just women after all, this water is much stronger than women.If the clerk was here, I'd tell him to take this feeling down.If I haven't forgotten this feeling when I go back, I have to ask him to write it down: On a certain date, the Second Young Master had a certain feeling in a certain place, and so on.I believe that a guy without a tongue can give a deeper meaning to my feelings.It is also possible, he said to me with a sardonic smile, with eyes that became sharper after losing his tongue: What's the point?
But I still insisted that he write it down.I was thinking about it as I sank and floated in the water.The water was poured into the ears again and again, and there was a thunderous sound inside.

The female chieftain got angry and tore off a string of coral from her neck and hit me on the head.The forehead was immediately swollen.I came up from the water and said to her, "If Toast Maggie knows that you beat his foolish son, even if you pay ten times the price, you won't get a single grain."

The female chieftain also realized the seriousness of this move, and moaned, "Master, get up, let's go see my daughter."

OMG, I'm about to meet the most beautiful girl in the world!

The heart of the second young master of Mai Qi's family beat violently.One hit, another hit, under the ribs, so hard it hurt me.

But what a blissful pain it was!

In front of a particularly beautiful tent, the female chieftain put on a serious expression and said, "Master, you have made up your mind. Are you sure you want to see my daughter?"

"why not?"

"Men are the same, whether they are smart men or foolish men."

The female chieftain took a deep look at me and said, "The unlucky ones who get what they don't deserve will have bad luck. A girl like Tana is not something ordinary people can get."

"Tana?"

"Yes, my daughter's name is Tana."

God, the name makes me feel hot all over.Here, I met a more wonderful Dolma than the previous Dolma.Now, another girl with the same name as my personal maid has appeared.I couldn't even wait for my servants to lift the curtain of the tent, so I slammed into it.As a result, the soft door curtain wrapped me up, and the more I struggled, the more tightly the curtain wrapped around me.Finally, I finally broke free, gasping for air, holding the torn tent curtain in my hand, and stood foolishly in front of Tana.At this moment, even the nails on my hands are hot, not to mention my heart, my eyes.It seems that a long time has elapsed since the call from the beginning of the world, and finally today, here, it is answered by this extremely beautiful girl.Now she's sitting right in front of me above the tent, smiling brightly, her red lips showing her white teeth.Clothes are worn on her body, not to hide, but to suggest, to inspire your imagination.I couldn't help shouting: "It's you! It's you..." The first sound was high-pitched and cheerful, and when the second sound came out, I felt so weak that I was about to fall to the ground.But I steadied myself and did not fall.

The foolish son of the Maiqi family was struck by the girl's beauty.

A look of surprise appeared on Tana's face, she looked at her mother and asked, "Is this the man you came for, Mom?"

The female chieftain looked serious, nodded deeply, and said: "Now, he is here to look for you, my dear daughter."

Tana said in a whisper, "I see."

And when she had finished speaking, her eyes closed, a sight that should inspire pity in a man.I am also compassionate.But Tana was fate, the fate of the man who met her.When she closed her eyes, the trembling long rainbow-like curved eyelashes made me helpless to myself.

With bubbles popping out of my bones, I called out, "Tana."

She promised me!
A tear welled up in the corner of Tana's eye.She opened her eyes, with a smile on her face, at this moment, she answered me: "You know my name, tell me yours too.

"I'm a fool from the Maggie family, Tana."

I heard her laugh!I saw her smile!"You're an honest fool," she said.

I said, "Yes, I am."

She stretched out a hand and put it in mine. This hand was soft and cold, and she asked, "Do you agree?"

"Agree to what?"

"Lend my mother food."

"agreed."

My head is boiling like water, bubbling, how do I know the difference between agreeing and disagreeing.Her hands were as cold as jade.When she answered in the affirmative, she put her other hand in mine as well.This hand is hot, like a ball of fire.She smiled at me.Then she turned to her mother and said, "Please go out."

Her chieftain mother and maids withdrew.

There were only two of us in the tent.

On the ground, some small yellow flowers grew between the two carpets. I didn't dare to look at her. I looked at the tiny flowers with one eye, and looked at the two pairs of hands holding each other with the other eye.

At this time, she burst into tears and said, "You are not worthy of me, you are not worthy of me."

I knew this, so I didn't dare to look up at her rashly.

She only cried a few times, half leaned half on me, and said: "You are not the one who makes me fall in love, you can't catch my heart, you can't make me a faithful woman, but now, I am yours." Girl, hold me now."

Her words made my heart both ecstatic and painful, and I hugged her tightly in my arms, as if I was hugging my own destiny.At this moment, I suddenly understood that even from the perspective of a fool, this world is not perfect.Everything in this world is like this, if you don’t want it, it will be right there, keeping its integrity and its purity, once you get it in your hands, you will find that you don’t get it all.Even so, I am still very happy, hugging the pleasing beauty in my arms, putting my eyes to her eyes, and my lips to hers, I am the happiest person in the world.I said, "Look, you've made me such a fool that I can't even speak."

This sentence actually made Tana laugh: "Become stupid? Aren't you a well-known fool?"

She raised her hand to cover my mouth as I was about to kiss it, and said to herself, "Who knows, maybe you're a particularly interesting man."

She let me kiss her.When I stretched out my hand to the breast, she stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Get up, let's go out and get some food."

At this moment, not to mention my brain, my blood and bones are full of love bubbles, and I followed her out in a daze.I've established some kind of relationship with her, what relationship, I don't know.The chieftain let me go.A group of people walked to our fortress, the granary on the border.Tana and I were at the head of the line.Behind is the female chieftain, and behind that are the maid from Ronggong's family and my two servants.

Seeing this scene, the butler opened his mouth wide in surprise.

I told him to open the granary, and his surprised mouth opened even wider.

He took me aside and said, "But, sir, you know what the master said."

"Open the warehouse!"

There must be madness burning in my eyes.The butler, who was confident that he was 12 loyal to his master and dared to be stubborn, didn't say anything.He untied the key from his waist and threw it into Solang Zelang's hand.When I turned around, I heard him muttering alone, saying that in the end, like my wise brother, I lost my way in front of women.The housekeeper is a very good old man. He watched Suolang Zelang go downstairs, open the barn, and put bags of wheat on the backs of Rong Gong’s animals, and said to me: "Poor young master, don't you You know what you've done, don't you?"

"I got the most beautiful woman in the world."

"They didn't expect to get food this time, and they only brought a small number of animals."

They also freed up their mounts to carry wheat.In this way, there are less than thirty animals, and even a quarter of a barn cannot be filled.We have a total of 25 such warehouses, and all of them are packed to the brim.The female chieftain came over from the animal loaded with wheat and told me that her daughter was going back, waiting for chieftain Maiqi to come to ask for marriage.And she said, "The suitors had better come sooner." Better before they came with more cattle to pack the wheat.

The cavalry carrying the wheat has gone, and my Tana has gone under the clouds.

The housekeeper asked me: "How did that beautiful woman go?" A strange look appeared on his face, which made me understand what he meant.He thought I had been tricked by the chieftain.I also regret letting Tana go.If she doesn't come back, what are these damned food?Nothing counts.Nothing really counts.My heart becomes empty.At night, listening to the wind blowing high in the sky, my heart is still empty.

I can't sleep because of a woman.
