醒来的时候,已经是天色大亮了。
自己却像根本没有睡觉一样清醒,丝毫没有从睡梦中醒来的头脑不清楚的状态,这一晚就像丢失了梦境或是一闪而过一样。
院子外面的树上,传来几只不知道是什么鸟的叫声,声音清脆悦耳,门廊上有一层薄薄的露水,身上的被子也都有点潮湿。
我出神的看着门廊边,几朵黄色的小花,带着露水的花瓣充满了生机。
不管昨晚自己的境界和智慧,有了怎样的改变,等一会儿自己都要下山的,而且……没人给自己做早饭了,希望下山后,胡伯说的那支卫队能有干粮给自己裹腹。
回到房间找了半天,也没有发现什么外衣,也真是奇怪,自己大小也是个城主,现在连身像样的衣服都没有,穿着一身皱巴巴白色的棉睡衣,踏着一双黑色布鞋。
这胡伯是怎么照顾城主的,就算入定也得准备两身换洗衣服啊……
昨晚吃的太干净,厨房也没剩下什么东西,我仰着脖子呼吸着新鲜空气,踏着一双布鞋,饿着肚子推开了院门,向山下走去。
早上虽然阳光充足,但我这一身布衣很快就被露水打湿贴在身上,山风一吹立刻就冷的打哆嗦。
我真想回到意识空间里问一下,这个叫“王国清”的城主是被软禁的吗?这待遇也太差了吧。唯一庆幸的是山路越走越宽,在我布鞋就快因为泥巴沾的无法继续走路的时候,一条石径出现在眼前,这条石径正是在一处悬崖的转弯处,视野开阔。
就在我犹豫是不是要登高望远,还是赶紧把鞋子上的泥巴清理掉,拜见城主……从一块大石后面转出一个青衣男子。
这个男人长得很有男子气概,个子很高看起来一米八以上,浓眉大眼睫毛很长。
眼睛里透着一股自信又感性的目光,年纪大约二十岁出头,脸上带着笑容,手里还拿着一把折扇,这个年轻人一看就让人觉得亲切,可比胡伯那种老奸巨猾显得好相处。
不是说卫队在山脚下等我吗?现在的位置大约是山腰还往上一点,这个年轻人既然知道我是城主,那就应该是身边的人吧。
可我……不认识啊。
那年轻人见我盯着他也不说话,眼里闪过一丝诧异,他又往我来时的路上看了看,见没有人于是凑过身来说道。
城主命在下在此等候,“友石”已经在此恭候多时了(原来是自己之前安排的人,那应该是可信的人)我搓了一下手,“有时”是吧,希望自己没叫错他的名字。
你身上带了吃的没有,我早上还没吃饭,说到这,肚子很应景的咕噜咕噜的叫了几声。
他听到我的话脸上顿时尴尬起来,我一看这就是没吃的吧,果然他对我抱拳鞠了一躬,城主赎罪,友石,照您的吩咐在附近隐秘处,建了一座茅屋,每日都在此处等候城主。
我在茅屋后边种了一点蔬菜,平时都是让小厮偷偷送一些食物,友石没什么本事,也不能打猎……唉,那你在这有啥用?我气急败坏的打断他。
他愣了一下……城主,你在入定前安排友石在此等候,并把弯月骑的兵符带给你。
我明白了,原来是让他送兵符。
友石你带我去你的茅屋看看(实在不行,让他煮点菜粥给我)还有,现在下面是什么情况,你跟我说说。
他看了我一下,连忙走过来把自己的青色外袍脱了下来,披在我肩上(我心头一暖,这个友石应该是城主的心腹嫡系)又蹲下身子,捡了一块石片一点一点的把我布鞋上的泥巴都清理干净。
我差点就想阻止他这样做,但意识到自己现在已经是金手城的城主身份,不是从家里逃荒出来的大力了。
都弄完,友石一脸满意的看着我的脚说道,城主以前最爱干净了,今日怎么搞成如此模样,我在茅屋还有一套干净的衣服,城主里面的衣服已经被露水打湿了,赶紧换下来,不然被山风一吹,怕是要着凉的。
说着他自己倒是打了个喷嚏,一缕鼻涕顺着左边鼻孔如同青龙出水一样,甩了出来。
我和他先是一愣,接着同时大笑出来,他也不尴尬,用袖子擦了擦,朝前面一伸手自己便在前面带路了。
我看他个子虽然高,可惜却是个书生,没有武技傍身,还在这深山里,等着送兵符这么重要的东西,也不知“王国清”是怎么考虑的。
我看了看手里的这个兵符,这兵符是翡翠的玉质材料雕琢而成,是一只老虎的形状,但却从侧面中间分开,分开的位置有两个凹槽,可以把两边扣在一起。
无论材料还是工艺都很难仿制,那弯月骑应该就是金手城的精锐部队吧,想到此心里不禁感慨,咱现在也是有兵权的人了。
我跟着友石左转右转,居然走了不短的时间,突然眼前一亮,前面出现一片空地,在空地上一座不大的茅屋建在上面,那茅屋并不精细,甚至无法做当风遮雨之用,看来友石在这里也是不容易。
他紧走几步进了茅屋,取出一个蓝色的包袱,从里面拿出一套干净的衣服。
城主就先换上这套干爽的衣服,好在友石的身型和城主相仿,城主的甲胄和坐骑都在山下的卫队保管,等一下友石下山通报肖队长带人上来接城主。
我看了一下四周,没有找到他说的菜园,不禁有些失望,友石看我的神色突然忍俊不止笑到,城主可是肚腹饥饿难耐,友石这就去给你弄点粥饭,等城主吃完我在下山不迟。
听他这么说,我长出一口气。
我见他从屋子后面拿出一些树枝,笨手笨脚的折断当作烧柴,搞了半天却没弄好。
只好过去和他一起开始生活,早晨的露水把柴火都弄湿了,点起的柴火冒着很大的烟,我们两个都被熏的不停的咳嗽,脸也被熏的一块一块的烟黑。
我们又是相视大笑,心里对这个友石倒是越发觉得不错,终于用陶罐做了一点菜粥,我还是吃的一点不剩。
友石笑呵呵的看着我,城主在这里休息一下,我去找肖队长来接你。
我看着他的背影,不知道以他的体力等找到卫队来接我,是不是要天黑了。
When you wake up, is the sky bright.
Himself awake like didn't sleep, didn't wake up from sleep state of mind is not clear, the night is like a lost dream, or a flash.
Yard outside of the tree, there was a few do not know what bird sound, sweet, crisp porch with a thin layer of dew, and are a little wet quilt.
I watched the porch trance, some yellow flowers, with dew petals is full of vitality.
Regardless of the state of their last night and wisdom, have what change, wait for a while will be down the mountain, and...
Back to the room for hours, and found nothing, also it's strange, their size is also a duke, now doesn't even have a decent clothes, dressed in a rumpled white cotton pajamas, stepping on a pair of black cloth shoes.
This is how to take care of the duke's story, even if the concentration also have to prepare two body wash clothes ah...
Last night eat too clean, the kitchen also left something, I stick his neck breathing the fresh air, stepping on a pair of cloth shoes, hungry pushed open the gates, headed for the hill.
This body cloth while sunny morning, but I was soon dew wet stick in the body, immediately mountain breeze blows cold shiver.
I really want to go back to ask in the space of consciousness, this is called “guo-qing wang“ the duke is under house arrest?
As I hesitated whether to been, or mud cleared off shoes, visit the duke...
The man looks very manly, tall look more than a metre eight, heavy is eyelash is very long.
Eyes the look of a confident and perceptual, age around in his early twenties, with a smile on his face, a folding fan in hand, the young man a look let a person feel kind, than the story that a wily old fox appears good get along with.
Wait for me not to say that the guards at the foot of the mountain?
Can I...
That young people see I don't speak, staring at his eyes with a surprised, he looked and come to my way, see nobody and gather together the body said.
Life here with the next to the duke,“friends“ has been has been waiting for you (it was arranged before their own people, it should be credible person) I rub a hand,“sometimes“ is right, hope I didn't call his name wrong.
You have to eat, I haven't eat in the morning, when it comes to this, my stomach very occasional loud gurgling call a few times.
He hear my face suddenly embarrassed, I have a look at this is not to eat, and sure enough he fuels bowed to me, the duke of atonement, friend stone, according to the commandment of you jammed in the vicinity, built a hut, here every day waiting for the duke.
I planted vegetables, behind the hut is let him secretly send some food at ordinary times, friends stone no skill, also cannot hunt...
He paused...
I understand, the original is to allow him to lead.
Stone you take me to your friends cottage to see (not really, let him order cook porridge for me) and now here is what circumstance, you tell me about it.
He looked at me, hurriedly came and took off his own blue robe and put on my shoulder, my heart a warm, friends and the stone should be the duke's confidant clique) and crouched down, picked up a piece of stone chips bit by bit to clean the mud on my cloth shoes.
I almost want to stop him from doing so, but realized that he is now in the city of gold hand duke identity, not migration from home out vigorously.
Friends are all finished, stone said a face of satisfied look at my feet, duke cleanest before, today how make into this appearance, in my hut also has a set of clean clothes, the clothes in the duke has been wet with dew, hurriedly in down, or be mountain breeze blows, will catch cold.
Said he sneezed, a wisp of nose down the left nostril like tsing lung water, dumped out.
He and I first one leng, then laugh at the same time, he also not embarrassed, with sleeves wiped, toward the front stretch out his hand he may lead the way in front of us.
Although I think he is high, but it was a scholar, not alongside, wushu is still in the mountains, waiting to send lead so important things, also don't know what is considered “guo-qing wang“.
I looked at the hands of the lead, the lead is jade carved jade material, is in the form of a tiger, but middle separated from the side, to the location of the separate two grooves, can put the buckle on both sides together.
In any material or process is very difficult to fake, the crescent moon riding should the elite of the city of gold hands, think of the heart can not help feeling, we also have the relieving people now.
I follow friends turn left turn right, go not short period of time, suddenly shine at the moment, appear in front of a clearing, in a small hut built on the land, the cottage is not careful, could not even do when the wind to block rain, friend stone here, too, are not easy.
He walked a few steps into the cottage, take out a blue baggage, pulled out a clean clothes from the inside.
Duke and the dry clothes first, fortunately friend rock body and is similar to the duke, the duke's armor and mounts are at the foot of guard safekeeping, wait your friend stone mountain inform shaw captain came up with the duke.
I looked around and found no garden he said, somewhat disappointed, friends stone suddenly laugh, smile to look at my air, but belly starving, duke friend stone it's to get some porridge for your meal, such as duke ate me is not late in the mountain.
He said so, I long out of breath.
I saw him from behind the house took some branches, all thumbs broken as wood, make the along while didn't finished.
Had to start life together with him in the past, the morning dew wet all the firewood, lit the firewood of risking a lot of smoke, we two have been smoked kept coughing, face was also smoked a piece of a piece of black smoke.
We laughed again, in the heart of the stone are increasingly feel nice, finally made a order porridge POTS, I still eat a little.
Friend stone walked over and looked at me, duke rest here, I went to xiao captain to meet you.
I looked at his back, don't know his strength to find the guards to pick me up, to the dark.
