Chapter 199 Strange Gift
Chapter 199 Strange Gift
After dinner, the group of people took a short rest and then went back on the road.
Su Mingjue was sitting on the carriage, bored.
Su Xiaoliu was packing his personal luggage. Seeing Su Mingjue's bored look, he smiled and said, "Master, would you like to read a storybook to pass the time?"
Su Mingjue quickly shook his head, "I've been reading for several days in a row. I've been reading so much." My head is buzzing and I don’t want to read it. "
Although the story is beautiful, I can’t read it every day. After reading it for a few days, Su Mingjue felt it was boring.
"Then let's have some snacks, young master! There are also some candied green plums, lotus seeds and bayberries here."
Su Mingjue held her face and shook her head, "I don't want to eat it. I'm very full from the meal I just finished."
"That little one "Let's play chess with the young master."
"I don't want to play. The carriage is rickety. It takes a long time to watch the chess game. It's too hard on the eyes."
Su Xiaoliu said a few things to kill the boredom, but Su Mingjue didn't take it. Na, he became silent for a moment, wondering what the young master wanted to play.
After Su Mingjue said that, she felt that she seemed a bit too "picky" and was busy thinking of finding something to kill the time.
Looking up, he discovered that among the luggage Su Xiaoliu had packed, there was something wrapped in red satin. The object was not exposed, and the specific shape could not be seen, but one end was pointedly protruding outwards. It did not look like an ordinary thing. Things like clothes and accessories.
Curious for a moment, he stretched out his hand and asked, "What is this?"
Su Xiaoliu was busy counting the snacks. When he heard the sound, he took a look and replied, "It belongs to the young master."
Su Mingjue laughed when he heard this. He stood up: "I know it's mine, I mean what's in it."
"Xiao Liu doesn't know, it was like this when the young master handed it to me."
Su Mingjue was slightly startled when he heard this, "I'll give it to you. " Yes, when did I give it to you?"
"Master, did you forget it? You took it from the master before leaving the house, turned around and handed it to me, saying that you should keep it well. It looks very precious, so Xiao Liu didn't dare to open it without permission. I just kept it close to me."
After saying this, Su Mingjue seemed to remember where this thing came from.
Before leaving, Su Shiqian handed him something and asked him to give it to Mu Li. Su Mingjue was still wondering why he didn't just give it to Mu Li. Old man Su seemed to mutter something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
He was busy on his way at the time, so he casually took it and handed it to Su Xiaoliu, and then he forgot about it.
To be honest, he didn't know what was in it.
After getting the thing in hand, Su Mingjue peeled off layers of red satin. It was not until the last moment that it appeared in front of him that he realized that it turned out to be a dagger.
The whole body is black, the handle is engraved with a black lotus, and the scabbard is dull yet emitting a soft light. It looks like an extraordinary dagger.
Su Mingjue rubbed it for a while, then opened it, but was surprised to find that the dagger was broken.
The part near the tip is empty, leaving only the front part of the dagger with a small blade.
The remaining blade placed in a bright place emits a dazzling white light. If the dagger is not broken, it will be a fine and sharp dagger.
While Su Mingjue examined the dagger in his hand, he complained in his heart, no wonder Su Shiqian didn't give the dagger to Mu Li. Only a small piece of the dagger was broken. Can he give it away?
After Su Mingjue looked at it, he inserted the dagger again. She returned the scabbard and when she was about to put it away, she found a word engraved on the bottom.
Su Mingjue put it under the light and looked at it carefully for a long time before realizing that the word "Luo" was engraved on the bottom.
This dagger was made by a man named Luo.
Su Mingjue didn't think much after reading it, thinking that the dagger was made by a man named Luo. After all, there has always been a tradition in ancient times of engraving to express the craftsmanship of the dagger.
Su Mingjue looked at the incomplete dagger in his hand and shook his head. He felt ashamed to take it out and give it away like this.
I don't know if Su Shiqian knew it, but he took a broken dagger.
After much thought, it was not a good idea to give away a broken knife. Su Mingjue decided not to give it away for the time being. He collected it with a red cloth and stuffed it back into his bag.
After leaving the town, we walked all the way to the dense forest. This walk lasted all afternoon, and we didn't find a suitable place to stay until the evening.
There were dense mountains and jungles along the way. Mu Li opened the map and looked at it for a moment, then stopped the team, "Master, if we go further we will reach a deep forest. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the city tonight."
Su Mingjue opened the curtain and looked. Glancing ahead, he saw endless trees and bottomless depths. There was no guarantee that there were wild animals in the mountains. He nodded and said, "Then let's rest here!"
A group of people immediately got off their horses, and Mu Bei and Mu Nan picked up some. I lit the branch with the fire stick in my hand, and a fire was born in a short while.
Su Xiaoliu took out some food from the carriage and grilled it.
Those were glutinous rice cakes and sesame cakes that Su Mingjue specially asked Su Xiaoliu to bring. They were heated over a fire and tasted special.
After the things were cooked, Su Mingjue distributed them to Mu Li and Mu Bei.
After spending some time with Su Mingjue, Mu Bei and the others gradually became familiar with Su Mingjue's character. They all took the things he handed over skillfully and were no longer reserved.
After dinner around the fire, it was already dark.
After a busy day, everyone fell asleep after eating.
There was no place in the wilderness. Su Mingjue and Su Xiaoliu were arranged in the carriage, while other guards stood around and fell asleep against the trailer carrying luggage at the back.
Su Mingjue slept for a long time in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Seeing Su Xiaoliu sleeping soundly on the chair beside him, he passed by him quietly, opened the carriage and walked out.
In order to prevent wild beasts from approaching, the fire was kept burning. When Su Mingjue got off the carriage, it was not dark at all.
He looked around the carriage. Mu Bei, Mu Nan, and Mu Dong were all sleeping with their eyes closed, but Mu Li didn't know where he was.
It wasn't until he stretched out his arms and looked up at the sky that he realized Mu Li was curled up on the tree next to the carriage.
Sensing Su Mingjue's appraising eyes, he looked towards him and whispered: "Master, why aren't you sleeping?"
Su Mingjue looked up at him with a smile on his face and said: "I can't sleep, come out and see what you are doing in the tree."
"It's nothing. You can climb up here and have a wider view."
Su Mingjue was bored down there, so he took off his clothes and climbed up the tree. "Then I'll take a look too."
Mu Li was stunned when he heard this, and soon he Seeing Su Mingjue climbing up with his legs crossed under the tree, his buttocks arching up and down, he couldn't help but smile. The way he climbed the tree looked like a little squirrel looking for food.
When Su Mingjue climbed to the tree trunk, he was a little exhausted. Seeing that he couldn't climb up anymore, he simply stretched out his hand, "Mu Li, please pull me up!"
Seeing this, Mu Li stretched out his hand to pull the person up, and silently stepped aside. a location.
Su Mingjue sat down and patted the leaves on her body, only to find that her clothes were wrinkled and had not changed after a long time.
Turning around, he saw that Mu Li was neat and clean, and wondered: "You are also climbing a tree, why are you so clean!"
Mu Li coughed lightly and said, "I didn't climb up here."
Su Mingjue looked at it in confusion after hearing this. Looking at him, Mu Li pointed his finger down, "I'm flying up."
Su Mingjue: "..." Okay! It's his choice!
