Chapter 10: Turning around (10)

After listening to Meng Dan's narration, Li Yuanfang and Di Jinghui learned Mei Yingchun's true identity for the first time, and they were not too surprised. After all, from Mei Yingchun's narration of his life experience and his own behavior, he deserved the reputation of being the prince of the Turkic Tribe of the Western Turkic Tribe. Di couldn't help but quips: "Oh, it turns out that you are still a princess. Princess Mengdan, please forgive Di for being blind, offended, offended." Mengdan smiled and said coquettishly: "Just say you Han people are so sour, I thought you two were better, but now it looks nothing different." Li Yuanfang saw Di Jinghui a little embarrassed, and interrupted: "Princess Mengdan, why did Brother Mei ask you to pay special attention to the commercial and road bandits? You said he discovered many strange phenomena, what are they?"

Meng Dan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I can't tell you this. Brother wants me to keep it secret. If you want to know, just wait for him to come back and you will ask him yourself." She thought for a while and said: "I have told you so much. Should you two tell me your identities? Why did you meet my brother? Why did you go to Yibotai?" Di Jinghui and Li Yuanfang smiled at each other, and Di Jinghui said: "We are here to suppress bandits." Meng Dan

He widened his eyes and naively stuck out his tongue: "You two are you? One of you was my prisoner just after meeting, and the other is sick. Oh my God, is there no one to send in the Great Zhou Dynasty? I'm worried about how you can survive in Yibotai." As she said that, she couldn't help laughing. After she finished laughing, Di Jinghui told her everything about her coming to Yibotai for servitude and Li Yuanfang's visit to Tingzhou to guard the border, and said it without any concealment.

After listening to Di Jinghui's words, Meng Dan's face was rarely covered with shadows, and she was silent for a long time and did not speak. The night in the desert came early again. The firelight in the kang hole reflected on Meng Dan's beautiful face. Under the dark eyelashes, the eyes that looked like two blue pools showed deep sorrow. Di Jinghui sat opposite her, looking at her eyes intently, and was once again intoxicated.

Li Yuanfang quietly walked outside the house and lit the extinguished bonfire again. He sat quietly by the bonfire, his mind was blank, and his whole body and mind were wrapped in silence in the desert. I don’t know how long it took, Di Jinghui came to him and greeted, “It’s almost half the night, I’ll change you.” Li Yuanfang asked, “Where are Bin'er and Meng Dan?” Di Jinghui replied with a smile: “They are both asleep long ago.” He sat down next to Li Yuanfang and immediately saw a large pattern on the sand, which looked very strange and strange under the reflection of the bonfire being extinguished. Di Jinghui was excited, and went up to take a closer look, muttering, “Oh, you have been here for the middle of the night, just tossing about this thing?”

Li Yuanfang replied casually: "Well, I have painted it several times. Now this should be similar to the figure on the manhole cover." Di Jinghui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I look like it! I have never seen this five-corner pattern before, why do you look so weird?" He looked at it with his head tilted and smiled: "It's so deadly, I can't tell where it's up and down, and there are three lines in the middle circle... Who made such a weird thing, and it took so much effort to cast it on the iron lid."

Li Yuanfang mocked, "Aren't you a master of Ming Jing, you are knowledgeable? I was expecting you to see some good things." Di Jinghui scratched his head: "Well! I know you are a vengeance! I am knowledgeable, I am not a god like my father!... Wait!" He suddenly pulled Li Yuanfang's arm: "Hey, from this perspective, do you think it looks like a turtle back? Or is it like a person stretching out his limbs?" "Well, it's more like a person stretching out his limbs." Di Jinghui said seriously: "I must have seen something similar at somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while! Well, let me think about it, think about it..."

Li Yuanfang glanced at him: "Think about it slowly, you have nothing to do anyway." Di Jinghui knocked on his head: "Yes, this thing has messed up my mind, and I almost forgot to tell you, Meng Dan said that she took us to Yibotai tomorrow morning... She also said that Yibotai is a very difficult place, specially used to detain prisoners, and it is a big desert prison. In Hu language, Yibotai means "Jedi". She said, "We need to be prepared." Li Yuanfang looked at Di Jinghui: "You

How about it?" Di Jinghui lay on his back on the sand, looking at the stars in the sky, and took a deep breath and said, "What's it? Since I left Luoyang last year, I only know one thing: go forward." After a while of silence, he sat up and asked with a smile: "Hey, we have been together for several months. What do you think of me as a person based on your conscience?" "It's okay." Di Jinghui was so happy that he slapped his thighs: "Okay, I think you are okay too! Although he is a little arrogant and cold, it's nothing to get used to it."

The temperature of the night rose a little higher than the previous day, and the two of them simply lay on the sand together looking up at the sky with the twinkling stars. They felt unbearable to look back on the past, but they were unforgettable; for the future, such expectations, confusion, worries and passions filled their hearts one after another. However, this glass of wine of life, whether bitter or sweet, must be drunk. Fortunately, there are friends around them and drinking with them.
