Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 177 Spike Fang Necklace
"Mother, if you are afraid, you can cook, I'll take a look here."

Seeing that Mother was still unwilling to leave, she hurriedly pushed Mother into the kitchen,
"Just go about your business, I'll just take a look, don't touch or take it, okay?"

Lin Qiutang was really a little scared, she had no choice but to leave if she didn't want to leave,
"I promised not to touch it."

"Okay, okay, okay, don't touch."

Seeing her mother enter the kitchen, Lan Lingxue couldn't wait to link the spike necklace, and touched the teeth carefully. The first teeth were carefully polished, and they were not as sharp as they looked. It feels very round,
"You can touch it. It's okay. After I got these things, I found someone to clean them and performed rituals. They will definitely not hurt you."

An Zhiyuan moved a little closer, talking to Lan Lingxue in a low voice, but Lan Lingxue's eyes were fixed on the spike necklace, while An Zhiyuan's eyes were fixed on the hand holding the necklace, the slender white fingers, As if there was some kind of magical power, An Zhiyuan couldn't move his eyes away.

"Brother Zhiyuan, is this a trophy?"

Lan Lingxue guessed that this should be the spoils of war when the enemy was dismounted with a single shot, and then he was taken from him. Isn't that what the books say?

"How can there be so many spoils, kill the enemy off the horse, and another enemy will rush over, how can anyone have time to search the enemy's body, and when the battle is over, gather the enemy's corpses in one place, and then make a big pit or burn or Buried, no one has the heart to rummage through the things on the dead body."

An Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, and he knew what Lan Lingxue was excited about. This little girl was really not afraid, and she was thinking that she had snatched it from the enemy. He could take out such a thing for her to play with. Well,
"This one belongs to a herdsman's house on the grassland. I spent money to buy it back and got someone to deal with it. I also asked where it came from. It was the herdsmen who hunted and killed the wolves that came to eat their livestock. The necklace made out of teeth was indeed made by them themselves, so I brought it back for you."

At that time, he wanted to bring it back for the little girl, but he didn't know if the little girl would like such a thing. Ordinary little girls would be afraid, but he just felt that his little girl was different, and maybe he would like it. .

"Brother Zhiyuan brought it back for me on purpose?"

Lan Lingxue raised the spike necklace in her hand,
"Of course, I thought of giving it to Aunt Lan at the beginning. I didn't lie to her, but I really wanted to wear it for her, because I heard people say that this thing wards off evil spirits. If there are some things that can be said, I will wear it. I don’t dare to give it to you, and I don’t know if you are so small, is it okay to wear it? It’s just that I thought she would be scared, so I stayed again, but I knew you would be curious about this thing, so I found it on the grassland. I asked the shepherds in the village, and asked the little girls who were not out of the cabinet, if there is anything special about wearing this? They all said that it doesn’t matter, and wearing it will avoid evil and prevent diseases. Yes, I dare to give it to you."

I didn't expect that it was just a necklace. An Zhiyuan went through so much trouble. Lan Lingxue was very moved. During the period of border extension, he should have been suffering and nervous. He could still think of doing so much for himself. The feeling in his heart It's a little bit different.

"Then you just accepted it?"

Seeing that Lan Lingxue didn't return the necklace, An Zhiyuan asked expectantly,
"Why, you still want to go back, you are really stingy."

"No, no, how would I want to come back, it was originally a gift for you."

An Zhiyuan shook his hands hastily, and looked at Lan Lingxue with a blushing face. When he saw Lan Lingxue's coquettish and angry expression, An Zhiyuan felt a numbness in his heart, and climbed up bit by bit. , he shook his hands until his fingertips were numb,
"Brother Zhiyuan is not taking this as a birthday present, no, oh, borrowing flowers to present Buddha is not a good thing, you are going to give it to my mother at first, I just took advantage of the light to accept a small thing, I want to be serious birthday present."

An Zhiyuan stretched his head and glanced at the kitchen, seeing that Aunt Lan hadn't looked over, he took another item out of his purse.

"Hey, this is a birthday present, and that one is a souvenir from the grassland."

Lan Lingxue stretched out her hand, and a green hairpin lay in the palm of her hand. It was shiny and moist, without any messy carvings. There was only an orchid carved on the head of the hairpin. Lan Lingxue was surprised to find that, This orchid is exactly the same as my orchid pendant,
"You carved it yourself again?"

Although the carver is better than before, Lan Lingxue has seen a lot of good things now. The hairpin rings sold in the market and the carving techniques on them will never be so simple, but she prefers this one in her heart. A simple orchid,

"Well, when I was at the border, I couldn't find anything good to give you as a gift. I just thought that although the things I carved with my own hands are not very gorgeous, they can at least express my heart. Moreover, I hope that next year When you reach Ji, you can wear the jade hairpin I carved for you."

An Zhiyuan finally expressed his thoughts, and stared nervously at Lan Lingxue's eyes, fearing that she might feel disgusted by her. Then, he saw the little girl's eyes staring at him, and then, slowly bent into the shape of a crescent.

Hearing that An Zhiyuan said that when he was young, he had to wear the jade hairpin carved by him, he thought it was the one in his hand,

"Just use this?"

Lan Lingxue raised the hairpin in her hand, it must be too simple, although she likes this kind of simple and elegant one, but hey, I heard that the hairpin on the head of the hairpin is quite exquisite, An Zhiyuan clenched his fist to his mouth, gently After coughing, I was still disgusted.

"No need for this, I will carve a new one for you next year, my father gave me a piece of mutton fat jade, I will use that to carve a new hairpin for you."

Suet jade, in modern times, Lan Lingxue knew that a suet jade with the size of a fingernail was worth more than one million yuan. Now that I can own a suet jade hairpin, isn't it a bit strange? It's too extravagant,

"I also want orchids."

Don't want it for nothing, if you don't want it yourself, he will give it to others.

"I know you like orchids. When I carved this hairpin, I thought about the flower shape on it for a long time."

The corner of Lan Lingxue's mouth twitched at the thought of this clumsy man, for himself, sitting blankly on the mound under the moon, holding a piece of jasper, thinking about what patterns to carve, and then scratching his head in annoyance. Slightly tilted up, An Zhiyuan noticed for the first time that there was a small dimple in the right corner of Lan Lingxue's mouth, not big, the size of a small fingertip. Pointing with his finger to see if he could fit his fingertips, he almost couldn't control himself, so he quickly clenched his hands into fists and clenched them tightly,

"How did you know I like orchids?"

Lan Lingxue tilted her head and asked, she didn't think she said anything about her liking orchids, this secret should not even be known to her parents.

"When I was in Xinfa Town, I saw you for the first time, and I got into a fight with someone. You rushed to protect me, and I saw you were wearing an orchid-shaped pendant. Later, I went to live in your house in Banhe Village. Doing work from time to time, such as watering the land for Uncle Lan, tying hay, picking vegetables in the greenhouse, etc. The pendant will occasionally fall out, so obviously I can’t see it, it’s just under your chin , shaking like this."

An Zhiyuan stretched out his fingers, and swayed them left and right under Lan Lingxue's chin.

"At that time, I thought, the little girl is wearing a copper-clad stone orchid pendant, how much I like it. After me, I will definitely change it to a gold inlaid jade pendant for the little girl."

Lan Lingxue really never thought that An Zhiyuan paid attention to her so early, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her chest, the pendant was still hanging on her chest, she pulled the pendant out of her collar,
"Fool, it's not copper clad stone, but gold inlaid with jade."

In An Zhiyuan's heart, since it is wrapped in stone, it is naturally made of copper. Who would wrap a stone in gold? When Lan Lingxue said this, he was a little stunned. When someone noticed, he reached out and took the pendant in his hand. The warm body temperature made his palms hot. He subconsciously held the pendant in his palm before opening it. In order for him to see clearly, Lan Lingxue She also moved her body forward so that An Zhiyuan could get closer to the pendant, but she didn't notice, the pendant got closer, and she also got closer to him. Threads of thread got into An Zhiyuan's nose, An Zhiyuan quickly settled down, and focused all his attention on the orchid pendant. He was really stunned when he saw it. , it's really gold, but it's not jade inside, it's just a piece of elegant stone carving,

"I really didn't expect it to be gold, but this...?"

Lan Lingxue knew what he wanted to ask,
"It is indeed a jade carving, but this piece of jade is hidden in my heart."

That is the happiness that my mother left for me, brought from my previous life to this life, this piece of jade finally merged with me.

An Zhiyuan thought that Lan Lingxue had some emotions in his heart, so it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions at this time, he only hoped that one day, Lan Lingxue would be able to tell himself the secrets in his heart without reservation, so that he could share her thoughts , lowered her head, and carefully looked at the pendant in her hand again, wanting to engrave it deeply in her mind, and then carve it into a real jade carving, and put it on Lan Lingxue's head, so that she would no longer have any regrets,
"I'm putting it away."

Lan Lingxue whispered, her eyes peeking into the kitchen from time to time, An Zhiyuan watched Lan Lingxue take back the pendant and put it back on the neckline with reluctance, the warmth on his hands was still there, but he seemed to feel that his hands, Following the pendant, he got into the small neckline. For a moment, his mouth was dry,
"Hey, what's the matter with you?"

Putting the pendant away, seeing that An Zhiyuan was still in a daze, Lan Lingxue leaned over again, and asked him in a low voice, the distance between the two was so close, and in front of her was her cheek that she longed for so much , An Zhiyuan's finger didn't listen to his brain's command at all, he just stretched out so abruptly, and tapped on the small dimple, and sure enough, it happened to be just a fingertip.
