The next morning, a faint ray of sunlight poured in from the window, shining on the sleeping people on the bed, with a faint sense of tranquility and warmth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Shan sat on the wooden chair, his right hand rested on the wooden table, his face was tilted, his head tilted, and he looked at Xiuniang who was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face, only to feel that this moment was incomparably quiet and beautiful.

"Mu Shan, are you at home?"

When Mu Shan heard the voice, he turned his head and saw Jili standing outside the bedroom with a burden on his back, waving at him.

"Geely, why are you here?" Mu Shan glanced at the sleeping Xiuniang, got up quietly, and said softly: "Didn't the owner of Guan Zhuang ask someone to bring you a letter to let you stay outside for a few more days?" ”

"It's ......"

"Shhhhh......h ”

"I was in the county seat, and I heard that my father sent me a letter asking me to stay at my uncle's house in a neighboring county for a few days. At that time, I thought there was something strange about it, my father and my uncle did not get along very well, how could he suddenly let me go to my uncle's house? After thinking about it, I didn't worry about the things in the village, so I rushed back overnight. Geely apologized and said in a low voice: "I've heard everything, thank you." Also, Xiu Niang, she ......"

When Mu Shan heard the word Xiuniang, thinking of the marriage contract between Xiuniang and Geely, his heart suddenly suffocated, and his throat seemed to be pinched hard, so that he was almost out of breath.

In the early morning wind, it blows on the face, as if with endless coolness.

"She's fine, it's just ......, I'm ......" Mu Shan's vocal cords were bitter, he stopped talking several times, struggled repeatedly for a long time, and finally mustered up his courage, gritted his teeth, and said in a high-profile manner: "I don't want Xiuniang to return to Guanjiazhuang again, your father doesn't care about her at all, this time fortunately let me run into her, otherwise you will never see her again." Once can be lucky, but what if there is a next time! ”

"Mushan, what are you talking about?!" Jili seemed to be a little unfamiliar with Mu Shan, with strangeness and incomprehension in his eyes, looking at him directly, and after a while, there was a faint anger on his face, and he began to speak with a little anger: "Xiuniang is my wife who has not passed the door, where can she go if she doesn't go back to Guanjiazhuang?" ”

"I ......" Mu Shan seemed to have made up his mind, stared at Geely with his eyes, and asked coldly: "Geely, do you love Xiuniang?" I'm asking you, if Xiuniang is no longer a fairy-like woman, will you still love her? ”

"What do you mean? Could it be that Xiu Niang ......" Jili seemed to have guessed something, and in a hurry, she walked quickly towards the house.

"Geely, you haven't answered my question yet!" Mu Shan's body moved, and he stopped in front of Ji Li like a ghost, and stretched out his hand to block the door: "Before you go in, you think about it first, if Xiuniang becomes an ugly monster, if there is no matchmaker's appointment, will you still want to marry her?" Don't be perfunctory with me, ask yourself, I want to know the answer from your heart. ”

"I ......" Ji Li looked at Mu Shan's eyes, only to feel two sharp gazes, through his pupils, to see the depths of his heart.

Silence, deathly silence.

In the wind blowing slowly, there seemed to be a few strange sounds, like someone's heart, beating uneasily in the chest.

In the middle of the ring, Ji Li's expression began to become calm and persistent, and he took a step in the direction of Mu Shan firmly, and said without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

Yes!

Geely's words echoed in Mu Shan's mind like a slender needle, piercing deeply into Mu Shan's heart.

In an instant, the blood on Mu Shan's face disappeared rapidly, and the whole person became depressed and lonely.

Me, what's going on? Why do I care so much about Xiuniang's goings and stays? Is it just out of concern for Xiuniang's safety? Or is everything as Guan Bo said......

No, it won't......

Silent frustration and sadness filled Mu Shan's mind, and even his arm blocking the door trembled a little.

Geely didn't seem to notice Mu Shan's inappropriateness, but still said sincerely: "I know that my father's actions may have hurt Xiuniang's heart and made you dissatisfied with me, so I hurried over, just to take Xiuniang back." No matter what happens to her, I will be responsible for her and take care of her for the rest of my life. ”

For a lifetime?

Mu Shan only felt that in front of Geely, he had lost all the reasons to intervene, a heart, empty, but he clung to that glimmer of expectation and refused to let go: "Geely, I really love Xiuniang, don't control her life, let Xiuniang choose for herself!" If she wants to go back to Guanjiazhuang, I will personally send her there, if she doesn't want to go back, you can respect her decision! ”

"I ......" Ji Li glanced at Mu Shan with a complicated face, slowly untied the burden on his shoulders, handed it to Mu Shan, and said: "These are the three books I bought at a great price in the county, and two of them, "Three Strategies" and "Six Taos", are extremely difficult to find military books, which are for you and Changsheng to study. At present, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, there are frequent movements in Shanyue and Nanban, and the Karasuma Xiongnu on the border is also ready to move, which is a good time for men to make contributions. No matter how strong the courage of the horseman is, the role he can play is extremely limited, it is better to study the book of soldiers, learn the command of the army, and strategize the arts, so as to live up to the man's seven-foot body! ”

Ji Li paused for a while, and said bitterly: "The other volume of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is for Xiuniang, and that girl likes these strange things, so she should relieve her boredom." ”

Mu Shan took the heavy burden in his hand, only to feel that it was heavier than any mountain range in the world, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

A few days ago, Mu Shan heard that Ji Li said that he was going to get a few military books, and he thought that he was going to read them himself, but he didn't expect that it was actually prepared for himself and Changsheng, and at that moment, there seemed to be a warm current rushing up in his heart, burning his eyes, making his eyes begin to moisten. Thinking of his attitude towards him just now because of Xiuniang, he couldn't raise his head in shame.

"Mu Shan, tell Xiuniang for me, from beginning to end, I didn't mean to despise and force her."

Ji Li's eyes stared deeply at the small thatched hut behind Mu Shan, and his feet began to slowly fall back, and he said softly: "Although this family business was decided by my father, it is also the most joyful thing in my life. If I can marry Xiuniang, it will be a blessing from my three lives, and I will not let her suffer a little grievance; If she doesn't want to, then it doesn't matter, I will go and tell my father myself, I am not satisfied with this marriage, let my father quit, and I will not embarrass Xiuniang. ”

Geely slowly turned around and left, and said in a low voice: "I will wait for you in Guanjiazhuang, when Xiuniang makes a decision, you will come to the ward to me." ”

"Geely ......" Mu Shan looked at Geely's lonely figure in the morning light, stretched out his hand, and wanted to keep it, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, only looked at Geely's distant figure in a daze, and sighed!

"This big brother, is this the Mu Shan family?"

Just when Mu Shan was distracted, a crisp and soft voice suddenly came from his ears.

Mu Shan looked up and down at the young man in front of him, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and a white face, and asked suspiciously: "I am Mu Shan, are you ......?"

"Brother Mu is polite." The young man looked at Mu Shan in a decent way, and said loudly: "Xiaosheng Guo Jia, I came to give you two bamboo slips for my fellow villagers, please take a look." ”
