[Hakata Baba Forest] Princess

17.

Rivers and lakes are not as common on the grasslands as in the Central Plains, and the people who live here are not as diligent in washing their bodies as the Central Plains people.In the arid tribes in the extreme north, bathing is even an extremely solemn event three times in a lifetime.

However, many tribal dignitaries were affected by their contacts with the Central Plains, and they gradually took it as a common thing.

In the tents of leaders like the racecourse, there is naturally a bucket of soap locust powder, but in Lin's eyes, it is far from enough.And he heard from the attendant that the leader doesn't use these things often, and he is more used to scrubbing himself than bathing in the racecourse.

So Lin soaked in the hot water and kept pulling out the little abacus in his heart: first separate a clean room, renovate it, and then get rid of his bad habit of not taking a bath as a cheap husband... After all, he still has to be with him at night Sleeping in a quilt.

Anyway, Lin usually has nothing to do, this is the first thing he has to do when he gets married.But this matter was interrupted as soon as it was put on the agenda - the horse farm said it was going to the market, and it was about to start.

It's not that the horse farm will take him out to see the excitement, but to carry a large amount of goods, people, horses and money, and make a mighty trip to be part of the market.They want to buy products or food from other places, and sell the good goods of their own tribe in exchange for money.

The city of Kekula is not far from here, it was only two days' journey in the past.At night they slept outside, lit a bonfire in a low-lying leeward place, and then set up many very small tents around the bonfire.

Lin had never seen such a small tent before, and he was quite curious, and he got into it as soon as their top was set up.Ma Chang squatted aside, laughing, and opened the curtain to look at him.

Different from the large cowhide tent they had been living in, this small tent was made of cloth curtains coated with tung oil, which was light and rainproof.In the tent, there is only one side of the curtain covered with felt strips for people to sleep on, so there is no room left.Lin sat on it, stretched his legs straight, tilted his head and stroked the felt with his palms, looking very cute.

When Lin came here, he only lived in tents used for marching, and at that time he was overwhelmed by the big lie of pretending to be married, and he had never fully experienced the fun of spending the night in the wild.Seeing him so happy that his feet were up and down, the horse farm smiled even more, and asked, is it fun to live in a small tent?

fun.Lin Canran smiled, got out of the tent, and looked at the bonfire again.He looked at it seriously, and without looking back, he called the horse farm to come, pointed to the campfire and asked him, why do we need to dig a ditch here?

A group of people unloaded goods, those who set up tents set up tents, and those who approached heard the princess asking questions, which were novel and innocent, and couldn't help laughing.The horse farm was very patient, took his hand, and replied, it is for fire prevention, a fire is lit on the grassland, and the fire will get out of control if you don't pay attention.

oh.Lin nodded, and Machang said again, look at the direction of the wind.

Lin Suifeng turned half a circle, and the light yellow skirt swirled up, and he was led by the horse farm, as if he wanted to dance beside him.Lin pointed to the distance and said, where does the wind come from.

Um.Machang nodded slightly, and added, the southwest wind.

The fire is born in the lee... afraid that it will be blown out by the wind?

How stupid.The racecourse secretly thought, raised his hand gently and squeezed Lin's face, saying that he was still afraid that the fire would get out of control.

As a result, there were even more good-natured laughs around.

Going to the market is an important event related to whether the tribal people can live a prosperous life. This trip is informative, but it is also really hard.This time with Lin following them, the bright larks walked around the tents where they were resting on their way and asked questions. The whole team seemed to be lively, as if they had come out to play together.

Lin patted the horse farm's hand away embarrassedly, rubbed his face, and replied in a low voice, oh...

The racecourse is another road, and the leeward can hide the smell.

He continued to teach him, teaching so meticulously.He said, we have a large number of people this time, so of course we don't care whether we can avoid the wind or not, but if there are few people, it is very important to hide the smell on the grassland.

Lin blinked, thinking seriously, and suddenly his round eyes lit up, seeking the right way from the racecourse, and he should also pay attention to the wind direction when chasing prey, right?

The horse farm had promised to take him to play with him during the autumn hunting, and Lin took it very seriously.

right.Ma Chang confirmed with a smile, rubbed his hair, and said affectionately, Lin Lin is so smart.

Ma Chang didn't want to call Lin by Princess Mei's name, so he called him "Lin Lin" in front of people. Although it's not as close as calling him in small characters, calling him with overlapping sounds can always make people feel loved.

Lin was affirmed and didn't talk much. He just nodded, but he was very happy with every step he took.

Soon everyone cleaned up, the pot on the fire was hot, and the smell of meat came out.Everyone formed a circle around the bonfire and shared food.After drinking a bowl of hot broth, most of the day's exhaustion was relieved.

Lin held the bowl and drank the soup slowly. He was a little dazed when he was full, staring blankly at the beating bonfire.Following the sparks upwards, Lin discovered the sky full of stars.

It is not the square sky separated by the palace walls, but the entire sky with him as the center.

He has run out at night more than once, but he has never had a good look at the night sky on the prairie, like a stretched soft satin, the stars are brighter than the pearls all over it.

All the sounds under the starry sky were silent, human voices, insects, and flames blasting the rattan.Except for those at the racecourse. He took the bowl in Lin's hand, held his hand, and said, let's go.

In the cold night, Machang took off his cloak from his horse and put it on Lin's shoulders. Lin smiled at him.They didn't ride horses, they walked hand in hand under the starry sky, like a pair of lovers.The horse farm taught Lin to look at the stars, which one was sunny and which one was rainy, how to distinguish the direction, and what was the name of the brightest one.

Lin raised his hand to point and asked which one?

Machang followed his hand to look at the sky, then looked down at Lin, and said, I don't know, maybe it has no name.Lin Lin give it one, I will remember it when I see it.

Lin was speechless again.The last time he was like this, he didn't lose his temper with the horse farm again in a daze.This time, after he named a star, he couldn't help but wonder if the racecourse would still recognize it when he left five years later.If you don't take it, it seems like you have let down tonight.

Lin withdrew his hand, but couldn't help but take half a step closer to the racecourse, saying that I have to think about it, how can such things as names be taken casually.

When the racecourse thought he was cold, he raised his arms to meet him, and embraced him like a bird returning to its nest.He laughed and said, why can't you take it casually, what else do you like to eat besides chestnut cake?

Lin thought in his heart that it was too nonsense, and he still said dryly, Yangchun noodles.

Yangchun, that sounds really nice.

Tomorrow morning they had to go on their way, so they went back to the tent to rest after a short walk.

Lin took off his outer robe and was about to get under the quilt, but was stopped by the racecourse and hugged him, reaching out to untie his obscene pants.Lin was startled, wanted to earn money but didn't dare to move too much.The tents outside are connected to the tents, the bonfire is not extinguished, and there are even people keeping watch at night.

He lowered his voice and was about to curse, but the hand that unbuttoned his obscene pants relaxed, and instead hugged him and patted him.He coaxed, shh... let me see your injury.

They rode for a whole day, and Lin himself rode for more than half of the time. Later, he was forced to sit on his horse's back by the racecourse before obediently sitting on his side.Lin was obedient and stopped struggling, and pressed down on the chest of the racecourse behind him, and hugged himself completely in his arms.

The snow-white trousers only faded to the knees, and the wound there was more than half healed, leaving a thin powder, which was the new tender flesh under the skin.Machang's palm covered it, and Lin felt the tender flesh tingling.Ma Chang caressed it like a freshly picked leaf on the Spring Grassland, tilted his head and asked him, does it still hurt?

Before the words touched his ears, the tip of the ear was already red.Lin Fu's hand on the racecourse's wrist seemed to be pushing but not pushing, knowing that he wouldn't do anything but still so nervous that his heart was beating wildly, he paused for a while before answering in a murmur that the pain was gone.

Both of them were silent for a while, and the hand finally got away from between his legs, wrapping his arms around him but didn't back down, instead hugging him even tighter.Lin Xin was about to jump out, but Ma Chang lowered her head to his neck and asked him, why are you ashamed?Do you like me in your heart?
