Chapter 45: The War of Nations
He Xiu knew about the marriage contract between Guan Zhihe and Guo Zhenxing, and he couldn't accept it for a while, to be precise, it was Guan Zhihe who concealed this matter, which made him even more unacceptable.
"I think you seem to be a better match for him!"
Guan Zhihe didn't know the pain in his heart at this time, and thought he was talking about others: "Hehe, Brother He Xiu, are you talking about Chang An?" He'er just treats him as a good friend, and the rest is with Brother He Xiu." ”
"What about him?"
"Brother He Xiu, what do you want to say to He'er? He'er was stunned by you. ”
"Guo Zhenxing!"
He Xiu finally mustered up the courage to spit out the three words blocked in his chest, and instantly felt much more comfortable, and put his two arms under his head.
"Guo Zhenxing, how can Brother He Xiu mention him well? Is he coming to trouble Brother He Xiu again, He'er ......?"
"He'er, you should have told me a long time ago. He Xiu interrupted her angry words, turned his head to look at her and said.
"Brother He Xiu, what are you talking about? He'er doesn't understand. Guan Zhihe felt ashamed in her heart, and she didn't dare to look directly at him at the moment.
"When is your marriage due?"
Guan Zhihe immediately sat up, moved her body back a step, bowed her head and said weakly: "Brother He Xiu, you know, it's just ......"
"I ask you when the marriage is due?" He Xiu said in a raised voice.
"In..." Guan Zhihe repeated the word and stepped back step by step: "In... Ming··· Year··· Summer··· Season. ”
The long-awaited answer finally knew that He Xiu wanted to prick his ears at the last moment, always see that sentence in his eyes, and guess in his heart.
The night was silent, so quiet that only Guan Zhihe's regretful heartbeat could be heard, and it was so quiet that only He Xiu's inner guess could be heard.
In any case, the conversation has to be concluded: "It's getting dark, He'er go and sleep peacefully." ”
Guan Zhihe knew that this incident hurt him, and turned around and left alone, He Xiupan sat down, looked at the lake, and jumped in.
He Xiu found that after being reborn in the shallow water of that bay last time, whenever something unpleasant happened, he wanted to find a pond to jump into, and reflect on himself.
He relaxed his body and followed the thrust of the lake, feeling that his body had left the Guanfu, and suddenly opened his eyes and saw a dark building, and stood up to look around, feeling that he was under a mountain.
Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight at night, he took small steps and walked towards the building, and soon saw a door closed, He Xiu exhaled a breath, pushed the door open, smelled a smell of dust, and walked along the wooden door with both hands, touching the wall.
Just took more than six steps, felt knocked to the knee by the wooden stool, He Xiu found the wooden stool along the knee, and then touched the wooden table, with a reference, He Xiu spread his hands out, touched the center of the table, and a fire fold was held into his left hand.
After blowing up the fire fold, He Xiu saw that the interior of the building was a bedroom, with tables, chairs and mattresses, everything, and a red fabric on the wooden bed in front of him attracted his attention.
He Xiu turned around to look left and right, and after making sure it was safe, he took the red fabric in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and felt that he had never seen this thing, out of curiosity, he folded it and put it in his arms.
After careful investigation, He Xiu found that there was nothing else suspicious, and when he returned behind closed the door, he suddenly remembered that the man in black who peeped at Guan Zhihe that night had disappeared from the Dead Lake, and said in his heart, this room should be his place to live.
This discovery made him break out in a cold sweat, if it was really the shelter of the man in black, he should sleep peacefully at this moment.
"It's broken, He'er is in danger!"
Suddenly, He Xiu pulled his legs and ran wildly, found the exit of the lake, and just took a few steps, he felt that the lake flooded most of his body, so he lay down and began to dive back against the current.
After two teas, He Xiu climbed ashore, rushed to Guan Zhihe's bedroom, and broke in without knocking on the door.
"He'er!"
"Ahh
With Guan Zhihe's exclamation, He Xiu was stunned to see Guan Zhihe just finished bathing, the bathrobe on her body fell to the ground, and He Xiu stared at a red fabric on her upper body.
After seeing that it was He Xiu, Guan Zhihe wrapped the bathrobe around her body in a panic, her apricot cheeks were red, she immediately turned around, and said in a mosquito voice: "Brother He Xiu, what are you doing?"
He Xiu didn't notice Guan Zhihe's embarrassing situation at all, and of course he forgot about his embarrassing situation, and said to her exactly as usual: "He'er, are you okay?"
Guan Zhihe looked down at the edge of the bathrobe that was only wrapped around the base of her thighs, and couldn't help but be ashamed, standing in place and not daring to move, holding her chest tightly.
He Xiu suddenly realized his abruptness, his ears were flushed, and he quickly turned around, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and swallowed: "He... Son, you... Come on... Put on the top... I have important things to talk to you about. ”
Then he heard Guan Zhihe's footsteps without shoes in the distance, and He Xiu silently recited in his heart: "Sin, sin ......"
"He Xiu... Brother... You... Say it."
Guan Zhihe put on, moved the lotus step, turned around and stood in the position just now, tightened her neck, her apricot cheeks were shy, her teeth were slightly exposed, and she asked softly.
"I've found the man in black who spied on you that night, no, no, no, I mean I've found his hiding place. ”
Guan Zhihe quickly turned around when she heard this: "Where is it?"
"It's just below that dead lake, no, no, no, just down the river, where I found his dwelling, and I feared for your safety, and I didn't knock on your door... poop..."
"He'er believes in you, Brother He Xiu, what is the strip of cloth you are carrying in your arms?"
He Xiu lowered his head and hurriedly stuffed the exposed red cloth strip in: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a red rope, by the way, since you're fine, I'll go out." ”
"Stop!"
He Xiu stretched back one of his legs, squeezed his facial muscles together, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Shame." ”
Guan Zhihe couldn't help but be curious when she saw his panicked appearance, scolded him, and Lianbu came to him: "Brother He Xiu, what the hell is that, look at your mysterious appearance, is it a gift for me He'er?"
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to take it, He Xiu hurriedly covered it: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary red belt." ”
Guan Zhihe glared angrily, He Xiu had no choice but to let go, and quickly closed his eyes at the same time.
"Brother He Xiu, you ......"
Guan Zhihe pinched the red fabric in the palm of her hand, and her apricot face was painted with a layer of red glow, and said shyly.
"I said I wouldn't let you see it...... Ah...... I ......"
"Although the fabric is a little rougher, Lotus likes it very much, hehe. ”
"He'er, you're mistaken, I picked up this thing in that house. He Xiu patted his brain and explained with difficulty.
"Picked it up, then why did Brother He Xiu pick up the personal things used by women?"
"Oops... I can't tell... I didn't know it at first, so I held it in my arms and wanted to ask Mr. Sha for advice, until... I didn't understand what it was for until just now......"
"Hehe, okay, okay, He'er believes in you, so are you still angry with He'er?"
He Xiu closed his eyes and nodded repeatedly, Guan Zhihe screamed angrily, and He Xiu hurriedly sealed her thin lips: "Okay, okay, I forgive you." ”
"Hmph, that's pretty much ......"
"He'er, what's going on? He'er, are you in there?"
Sha Jiannan stood outside the bedroom and shouted, He Xiu visited Guan Zhihe again and again, realizing that she didn't want to say herself, Guan Zhihe twisted the root of his ear, deliberately stood on tiptoe, and shouted: "Mr. Sha, I'm fine, it's just a cockroach that has disturbed me, it's getting late, you can sleep peacefully!"
"This little girl ......"
After He Xiu heard Sha Jiannan muttering to himself and left, he endured the heart-wrenching pain and pulled out the roots of his ears: "He'er, can't you be gentle?"
Guan Zhihe stood up and raised her head, turned around and left with a delicate look: "Hmph, who let you break into Miss Ben's bedroom in the middle of the night......"
When the pain passed, He Xiu covered the roots of his ears and crawled on the foot of the table into a sweet dream.
"Miss, miss, the lord has brought a letterhead. ”
Hearing this, Guan Zhihe opened the door and opened the letterhead, and her happy face met the haze: "There is going to be a war." ”
"Miss, who is fighting with whom?"
"What about Brother He Xiu?" Guan Zhihe asked hurriedly as she put the letterhead together.
"I saw He Gongzi taking Mr. Sha to the backyard early in the morning, what's wrong, miss?"
Guan Zhihe ran quickly to the shore of the Dead Lake, anxiously waiting, and after a while, He Xiu's head poked out of the lake: "He'er, I found ...... with Mr. Sha."
"Brother He Xiu, we're going to war with Beiliang!"
Before He Xiu could tell the new discovery, Guan Zhihe said something bigger, He Xiu read the letterhead carefully, and said: "The government collects the rental fee of the merchant in advance, which was originally used for war. ”
"Brother He Xiu, that father is now in Changyou Prefecture in the northwest direction, very close to Beiliang, will there be any danger to his old man?" Guan Zhihe asked worriedly.
"No, he is with Lord Xiankang, and there will be no danger!" He Xiu comforted him, pointing to Xiankang's name on the letterhead.
"Bah, bah, I'm suffocating Lao Tzu, Brother He, you are really good, I can't see you in a blink of an eye. Sha Jiannan climbed ashore, gasped for breath and saw the letterhead and asked, "What is that?"
He Xiu told him the contents of the letter word for word, and Sha Jiannan immediately said that as a man from Nanyang Guotang, he must serve the country and go to the battlefield.
He Xiu and Guan Zhihe were both moved by what they said, and their blood surged: "Yes, as a seven-foot man, you must take the lead when the country is in danger!"
"He'er is going too!"
He Xiu and Sha Jiannan faced each other: "He'er, listen to the teacher's advice, girls should stay at home to sew and cook, this is a serious matter." Haha!"
Guan Zhihe's face turned pale when she heard this, and she pouted at He Xiu and asked, "Brother He Xiu, do you think so too?"
He Xiu tried his best to refrain from laughing: "He'er, what's that...... Brother Qiao, are you looking for me......"
He Xiu ran to Qiao Shenming's position not far away, Sha Jiannan hummed a little song and hurriedly left, the maid behind Guan Zhihe was blushing at the moment, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, seeing Guan Zhihe turn around and about to speak, he immediately said: "It's time to do laundry, Wan'er won't accompany Miss." ”
"Humph!"
