The two lived in the mountains for a few more days, Ruhao took Dong'an and Qiao Mu up the mountain, and talked to Xue Shizi and Xiaoyu about the things in Beijing: "This time to suppress the bandits, the sage saw that Uncle Xia was so brave, so he invited the sixth master out of the mountain, and the sixth master couldn't refuse for a while, so he took the head of the Meiling Martial Arts Academy, and now he is planning to teach students in Meiling." ”

Xue Shizi and Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned, one asked, "What student?" and the other asked, "What martial academy?"

Dong'an said: "It's not very clear now, it's like a martial artist, but it's not the same." ”

Xiao Yu pondered, "Isn't it a martial arts academy like an academy?"

Dong'an said: "Yes, the sage also said that in this southern expedition, the soldiers and generals from Meiling were very brave and good at fighting, and they rewarded the seven or eight soldiers who died in Meiling. Sun Huwei came back and was promoted to the rank of the Royal Forest Army, and the sage wanted the color of Meiling, and asked his wife if he would sell it. ”

Xiaoyu slapped his hands and laughed when he heard this: "Okay, Dong'an, you tell them to name them Jiangjunling, and they will be majestic when they listen to it." ”

Dong'an hurriedly said: "When my subordinates go back, I will talk to my father-in-law." After that, he asked Ai Ai Ai: "Sun Huwei and Wen Niang are about to get married, and they are asking when Mrs. and Gongzi will be able to go back?"

Xiaoyu's expression darkened, and he sighed: "The prince was just a little better yesterday, and at night... I messed around, kicked the quilt, and it recurred again today, so let's wait a few more days. ”

Dong'an couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, and said in a low voice: "Jingzhong said that the sage plans to move the capital to Yanbei, and recently the Xidu people have not been very peaceful. ”

Xiaoyu sighed after hearing this: "County Lord Jing, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry you." ”

Dong'an nodded: "Princess Xing is crying and making trouble." After delaying the date to two years later, I listened to the ministers' deliberations and planned to do it in Yanbei. ”

And so it went on for seven or eight days. Dong'an himself hurried over, and as soon as he got off the horse, he rushed in panting: "Lord Shizi, King Shou has news." ”

Xiaoyu was crooked on the bed listening to Xue Shizi stroking the qin, startled. Xue Shizi couldn't help but glance at Xiaoyu worriedly, but fortunately, Dong'an gasped twice, and immediately continued: "You can't have dreamed that King Shou actually secretly followed the ship that went to sea to the outer ocean. He wrote a letter to the saint. It is said that it is to open up territory for the saint in foreign countries. ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, a strange smile appeared on her face.

Dong'an talked about the affairs in Beijing again: "The sage has ordered King An to go to Yanbei to expand the city, and the capital will be moved to Yanbei next year or the year after." "Say it. couldn't help but ask when Xue Shizi would return to Beijing, Xue Shizi rubbed his hands and said in embarrassment: "I'm fine, but my wife has been bedridden because I have been sick." ”

Dong'an glanced at the "bedridden" light rain. I had to go back to Beijing to return to my life.

A few more days passed. I don't know what's going on, Dong'an hasn't come, but Ruhao hurried over: "Grandmother told you not to go back to Beijing in the near future, our family has already avoided it." Originally, General Chen surrounded all the soldiers who had the fever epidemic at the foot of the East Spider Ridge Mountain near the camp, not wanting to have a soldier with the fever epidemic inside, for fear that he would die and be burned, so he secretly fled home. Alas, they did not know that it was terrible, and a whole village was infected with the disease. It's all gone, and the capital is not spared. Fortunately, my aunt had sent someone to call my grandmother to pay attention to it before. Now the family has avoided Xiaoyanling. ”

Xue Shizi couldn't help but be shocked: "Then, what about my family?"

Ruhao hurriedly said: "I also sent a letter to my in-laws, they are slow, afraid that they will not be there...... I wanted to take some soft water, but I couldn't get it out. ”

Although Xue Shizi has always been discordant with his family, he couldn't help but worry when he heard such news. Ru Hao hurriedly said: "Dong'an escaped with the guards and his wife's maids, and now they all live in his uncle's courtyard outside the city...... It's just that Dong'an seems to... Not so good..."

Xue Shizi was so anxious when he heard this, he wanted to go and see it in person. Ru Hao hurriedly comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, Daoist Wang has already gone over to take a look, Dong'an's body has always been strong, and Daochang said that if you take good care of it, you can survive." My aunt's stewards and maids didn't go out much, but they were fine. If you pass by and get sick, it will not be good. ”

Dong'an and Xue Shizi grew up together, how could Xue Shizi feel at ease, but he also knew that Ruhao was reasonable, so he had to worry about it for more than ten days, and the cicada shrimp went out for a trip and came back: "Dong'an has survived, let the slave thank the prince and his wife for worrying." It is not allowed to enter or leave the capital casually now. I can't get in, I don't know what's going on in the house, everything is fine in Xiaoyanling. Mrs. Xia told you not to wander around, and to wait until the New Year. ”

Fortunately, it was already winter at this time, and although this plague was fierce, everyone should be careful when they wake up. It didn't deteriorate, although Grandpa Guo was seriously ill, it was not a plague, just an ordinary wind chill. Although the capital was still sealed a year ago, it was a little relieved to go out of the city, and the Guogong Mansion sent a message to Xiaoyanling: "If you have nothing to do, don't come back." ”

Xue Shizi and Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news from Xiaoyanling, and then they cheered up for the New Year.

Xiao Yu cut some window flowers, and it snowed again on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xue Shizi and Xiao Yu sat in the courtyard in a red cloak to enjoy the snow vigil, looking at the undulating snow mountains in front of them, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh in Xue Shizi's arms: "Bo Yan, you must draw this snow scene with me, if only we could stay here forever." ”

Xue Shizi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Now this mountain is more and more like a big bowl scooping a small spoonful of white rice, alas, what are the two of us standing on the tip of this rice?"

was so angry that Xiaoyu twisted him twice: "Spoil the scenery!"

Early the next morning, Xue Shizi urged Xiaoyu to get dressed, and pulled her to step on the snow to find plums. The two of them walked around the mountain with the guards for more than an hour, and they didn't see the shadow of plum blossoms, Xiaoyu couldn't help complaining: "I've told you several times, there are no plum blossoms here, you don't believe it." If you like it, I'll plant some in the spring. ”

Xue Shizi blushed, holding Xiaoyu's hand and kept breathing: "It's so cold, let's go back." ”

Xiaoyu looked around: "It's going to take a long time to walk back, anyway, it's still early, I'll take you to a good place." So saying, he led the people eastward for a while, and came to a small dirt slope that came out of the hill. There is a small door behind the dirt slope. Because the lock was a Luban lock, and there was no need for a key, Xiaoyu opened the lock. He led the people in and went down the stairs, and inside it was a large stone chamber.

Xue Shizi saw that it was warm inside, and wanted to go inside, Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head and said, "It's good to avoid it here, it's almost freezing." ”

Seeing that there was a small stove inside, Xiaohong went outside to break some branches. Xue Shizi and Cicada Shrimp and others also ran out when they saw it, and after a while, a fire broke out, and Xiaoyu saw that everyone came back, but Xue Shizi was missing. Just when he was a little worried, he saw Xue Shizi rushing down the stairs with a big fat rabbit.

Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and was about to catch up, when he saw Xue Shizi holding the two rabbit ears. Staring at his eyes, he shouted loudly: "Xia Xiaoyu." You come out for me!"

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, let alone look back at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu put on her cloak and said, "Oh, look at you, when people finally have that day, why are you so angry." ”

Xue Shizi shook the big rabbit in his hand, and said viciously: "Sooner or later, I will be angry with you one day." ”

The maidservants did not dare to make a sound, but carefully followed them out of the stone chamber and went around to the front of the dirt slope. Seeing that there was a stone tablet lying there, it was turned over by Xue Shizi. A few lines of words carved in stone are revealed. Everyone suddenly realized: what they had just hid in turned out to be a tomb, and those maids immediately turned pale with fright, and they dared to look at Xiaoyu angrily, and they all went to see Xue Shizi.

Xue Shizi really lived up to expectations, trembling with anger, pointing to the tombstone and scolding angrily: "You, you tell me clearly, you ......"

Xiaoyu pursed her lips and leaned over to look at the tombstone, scratched her forehead and smiled: "Please Seventh Brother write, the handwriting is not bad!"

Seeing that Xue Shizi was so angry that he kept picking up the rabbit in his hand, Xiaohong and Zi Yan couldn't help but stretch out their heads to take a look, and after only looking at two lines, the two of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, the snow has passed and the sky is clear, the red sun is like the face of a child frozen by the cold wind, the sun shines on the tombstone through the sparse branches, and the words on it are particularly shocking: "Fengxiang Xia's tomb of Xiaoyu, Dongsheng Wu Emperor's wife of the general, the duchess of the protector, the husband Xue's family, the name of Yu, the word Boyan." There are also many small characters written next to the Duchess of Huguo: "The owner of Xiaoyanshan Horse Farm, the owner of Mochizuki Mountain Horse Farm, the head of Dongsheng Restaurant Guild, and the head of Dongsheng Ticket Number Association......."

Xue Shizi flew the fat rabbit in his hand: "Whose tombstone is written like this, you say, you talk about it, you ......."

Xiaoyu kicked the snow under his feet and said: "I am younger than you, and I have to live longer than you, so of course I have to write this way when I write a tombstone." ”

Xue Shizi was so angry that his eyes turned black for a while: "Who said that? Didn't you say that I would die behind you?"

Cicada Shrimp and Xiaohong and the others all widened their eyes and listened to the couple's argument over who would die in front and who would die in the back, and they didn't dare to squeak, just staring blankly at the big fat rabbit.

Xiaoyu pouted and said, "You didn't say anything ...... at that time."

Xue Shizi finally remembered the rabbit, slammed it to the ground, pointed at Xiaoyu and said, "I said it today, you heard it clearly: I died behind you." ”

Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said busily: "Hear clearly, hear clearly, listen...... Quick, bunny... Cicada shrimp, quick... Don't let it run..."

Xiaoyu was about to chase the rabbit, but Xue Shizi hugged her in his arms. Xiaoyu was strangled by him, and he didn't dare to struggle. Xue Shizi lowered his head and whispered in her ear hatefully, "I will be angry with you sooner or later." After that, he pulled her and walked into the tomb, while directing Xiaohong and the others: "You go and hunt some game." ”

Xiaoyu nodded at them, and a few people dispersed.

After half an hour, the cicada shrimp was the first to carry the pheasant, and the rabbit came back, and when he saw that the others did not come back, he did not dare to go in, but only walked around at the door of the tomb, and waited for Xiaohong to come back, and then he mustered up the courage to enter the tomb.

At this time, everyone knew that this was a tomb, and they were a little scared, but Xiaoyu and Xue Shizi were not there, Xiaohong said in a low voice: "Why don't we go out and wait for them." ”

As he was talking, the sound of Suo Suo came from the inner room, Zi Yan swallowed his saliva, and several people pulled out their weapons and walked in tremblingly. I saw that the inner room was as empty as the outside, and a large coffin was placed in the middle, and the sound came out of the coffin.

Xiaohong's tears couldn't help but fall, biting her lip and following behind the cicada shrimp, the cicada shrimp saw Xiaohong and Zi Ling and the others walking forward, so they had to tiptoe forward a few steps, and then they saw: Xue Shizi and Xiaoyu were crowded in the coffin, and the two of them were discussing how to lie down in the future. Xue Shizi had to press Xiaoyu's ass with his right leg, and the two of them tore up in the coffin.

The cicada shrimp's legs were weak, and he fell down next to the coffin and stroked his heart and said, "Mother, my soul is scared by the two of you." (To be continued......)
