Chapter 26: The Return
When I came to my senses, I felt a person sitting next to me. I opened my eyes slightly, and I felt a black shadow hanging over my head. I was so sore that I smacked my mouth twice, and without saying a word, I rubbed my way to him in a comfortable position.
A thick palm ran over my chin and lingered on my cheek. I felt a slight itch and laughed, but I still closed my eyes and pretended not to wake up. The hand continued downward, lifting my collar and gently covering my collarbone and shoulders with a refreshing balm, which he gently massaged with his warm fingers. I writhed uneasily, rolled over to face him, and pointed to my other shoulder.
He was amused by my appearance and chuckled under his breath. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of ointment, and I hadn't heard such a gentle and beautiful laugh for a long time, and my heart was filled with happiness for a while. "Jiulang, I miss you so much......" I took his hand and muttered lowly, inexplicably aggrieved.
"Blackie, I'm back, and I won't leave you again this time. Qi Ye leaned down and hugged me with one hand, and said, "Don't move, I'll pick up the ointment for you first." ”
Still restless, I snorted casually, and climbed up his arms, but my whole body stiffened when I heard him snort. I felt strange, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that Qi Ye's left shoulder and right hand were tightly wrapped in bandages, and his face was a little pale, which made my heart twitch.
"Are you afraid? or do you feel sorry for me?" Qi Ye saw that my expression was entangled, and he pursed his lips and chuckled, looking light-hearted, his big hand was on my cheek, and his eyes showed pity, "I haven't seen you for so long, Xiao Hei, you have lost weight." ”
After hearing this, I lowered my head and looked around, the tattered wedding dress on my body had already been replaced by a light plain silk shirt, and the snow-white skin was looming. I blushed under his gaze. Qi Ye looked at me puzzled, and asked, "Why do you blush when I said you are thin?" said and glanced at me a few more times, as if he understood, the smile on his lips became more and more obvious, "It seems that there is also a weight loss there......" He dragged out the tail note, and his gaze fell meaningfully on me somewhere.
"You!" I smashed a pillow over, and suddenly reacted in mid-air that he was injured, and the strength of his hand decreased, and he put his strength on his head weakly. "Why did you promise Helan Lin to take him three arrows? Reinforcements will arrive soon, and you will still bruise yourself all over your body, isn't it an extra move?"
Qi Ye grabbed my arm and tightened it, and said, "I came to save you alone, and I made up my mind not to let you get hurt in the slightest." Little Black, you know what? I can only win if you are unscathed. ”
When he said this, his tone was light, but the affection revealed in it seemed to be integrated into his blood and bones. My nose was sore, and I looked down and quipped, "What's going on lately?" I understand when you say this, if I become a crybaby in the future, you must be used to it. ”
"You are used to being reckless in front of outsiders, but why do you have to pretend in front of me? If you want to cry, you can cry out, and I am still wronged. Qi Ye looked at me steadily, "Between husband and wife, there should be difficulties together." ”
"Husband and wife......" I carefully put these two words on my lips and pondered, with a cautious and hesitant, I suddenly looked up blankly and tattooed Qi Ye: "Jiulang, you pinch me, I feel like I'm dreaming." ”
Qi Ye smiled: "How can it be a dream?" He looked down at me, and I read a trace of bitterness in that gaze, "The wedding promised to you has not been fulfilled to this day...... Xiao Hei, I have long regarded you as a wife, this is not a dream. His words reminded me of all the things that I had valued for so long, and that many of the things that I had valued had long since become unimportant, and that the things that really mattered had come back to me.
"Xiao Jiu?" I hesitated to call him, "Qi Ye, can I call you like that?"
Qi Ye nodded, and after a long time, he asked me, "Xiao Hei, don't you want to ask me anything more?"
I shook my head, met his gaze, and said, "Actually, I would like to ask you, when will you come back and marry me?" ”
Qi Ye and I were relatively speechless, silently snuggling together. "General, the doctor said it's time to change the dressing...... Changsheng's voice sounded from the door, and I was a little embarrassed to peek out of Qi Ye's arms, trying to avoid suspicion, but he pressed back with one hand.
Changsheng entered the door and saw such a situation, but he was not surprised: "General, the medicine doctor is waiting outside, and it is not too late to stay with the princess after the change." ”
I was blushed by Changsheng's words, and the corners of my mouth twitched. Qi Ye got up calmly, pulled up the back corner of my waist that had slipped off, covered my whole body, reached out and combed the scattered hair on my forehead, and said, "You rest for a while, and wait for me to come back and take you to a place." ”
I answered, even if I was covered tightly by the quilt, I couldn't suppress the sweetness in my heart, Qi Yefang took two steps, I stopped him again, he looked back at me funny, with helplessness and doting. "I've got something for you......" I whispered, gesturing to the clothes piled aside, "right there." ”
The clumsy concentric knot was held in Qi Ye's hand, as if holding my somewhat shy heart in anticipation, his dark eyes stared at me, with a deep smile, my face was hot, and I turned over and put my head under the quilt.
This relaxed mood did not last long. When I went out with Qi Ye in the evening and sat in the carriage looking at the bleak situation of Liangzhou City, my heart became very heavy.
On the night of the Turkic massacre, they took advantage of the time when the guards of the Shence army went to Youzhou and wantonly burned and plundered, and the city of Liangzhou was reduced to ruins overnight. The Liangzhou Thorn Mansion that stayed behind fought bloodily, but in the end it was buried in the sea of fire and no bones remained.
"My uncle fought all his life, but in the end he died at the hands of the Turks. I must avenge this revenge in the future!" On the ruins of the Thorn Mansion, Qi Ye took out a wooden plaque from a pile of burnt broken wood, and by the dim light, the word "Yuwen" was faintly visible on the mottled card. I sighed, "Thorn Shi is loyal, and the Yuwen clan is the pride of the Great Zhou. Jiulang, this revenge will definitely be avenged, and he will be able to rest in peace under the assassination of Shi Jiuquan. ”
He was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked me, "Xiao Hei, what do you say will be left behind after death?"
My heart twitched inexplicably, and I looked up, and the night was gradually lowering and spreading out a little starry. The sky is high and vast, and the bright galaxy has no end in sight.
"It's going to make memories. I curled up my palms slightly, stood beside him, and looked at the night sky motionlessly, "Chu Yang has been dead for so long, I have always remembered him, and I remember what kind of relationship I failed when I was too late; Maybe that's how I got to where I am now, met you, and then became brave and strong little by little. ”
Qi Ye and I stand side by side, the stars in the night sky are changing rapidly, "After a person dies, he leaves a handful of loess and a nickname for future generations to remember and pay respect." But I remember that in Xiliang before, my aunt once told me that after death, people will become stars, guiding the people who are still concerned about living in this world not to lose their way. I've always believed that this would be the case, so I'd love to take you to Xiliang, see the night sky there, and tell my heavenly parents that I have found my moon and will never find my way home again. ”
I stared at Qi Ye's side face, and the starry light fell into his eyes, and I couldn't take away the light from his eyes. When he was in a trance, Qi Ye summoned the carriage, swept away the solemnity on Fang Cai's face, and smiled slyly at me: "Let's go, I'll take you to do what I want to do now." ”
Yuwen Qiye's words are very ambiguous, and along the way, I can't help but have doubts and ...... when I reminisce about his words on the ruins Expect. What does he want to do the most? I turned my head and secretly glanced at Qi Ye, who was reclining on the side, and connected this sentence with his brazen virtue, and I couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you cold?" Qi Ye said lazily, unable to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, "If it's cold, I don't have any extra clothes for you, so you might as well run two laps in the car." ”
Hearing the joke in his words, I smacked him, but when I landed on my body, it became a coquettish monster, and I despised myself in my heart, and felt a chill. Then he gave him a blank look and said, "Don't laugh at me about this matter, so I won't pay attention to you in the future." ”
As soon as the words fell, a red smoke shirt fell in front of my eyes, "I have already let people dress you." It's cold at night, and if you wear these neon clothes and feathers, it will naturally be cold. ”
I took it with one hand, and my heart waded through the warm current, but my mouth clarified and retorted: "Where am I cold?" It's clear that what you just said is frightening. ”
Qi Ye raised his eyebrows: "What words?"
"You say...... You want to take me to do what you want to do......" The more I spoke, the quieter my voice became, like a mosquito buzzing, and my eyes were glazed over, "Who knows what ...... is going on"
Qi Ye groaned after hearing this, and put his cheeks in thought: "Well, I didn't make it clear at the time, now we are going to quietly go out to Xiliang." Noticing the shocked look on my face, he laughed, "Are you disappointed or unwilling to show this expression?" or ......" He deliberately lengthened his words, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, "Xiao Hei, what do you want me to do to you?"
"I ...... I...... I didn't!" I felt like someone had stepped on my tail, and my heart was so weak that I even stammered my words. Qi Ye looked at me funny, and for a moment, he lowered his head and dropped a kiss between my hair, his eyes were as bright as black gems, "I have, Xiao Hei." I want to do a lot for you, from now on, in my life. ”
