The snow is getting heavier and heavier. The cold east wind www.biquge.info made it impossible for them to stand in the courtyard and talk. Shi Jiaheng hugged Chu Yunxi weakly and entered the front room, which was very plainly furnished, with only a bed, two chairs, a table, and a set of tea sets. He put Chu Yunxi on the bed, except for his shoes, took off his cloak, pulled open the quilt, and wrapped her tightly inside. Her face was red and hot, the marks of the cold wind, and he hurried to the kitchen to fetch a pot of hot water, soaked the veil and covered her face.

The cold and warmth irritated her throat, she kept coughing, Shi Jiaheng had to sit on the edge of the bed and half-hold her in her arms, she gradually eased up, her body didn't shake anymore, but her body was weak, her eyes couldn't open heavily, and she had no strength to speak.

Shi Jiaheng tried her forehead, but fortunately it was not hot. She didn't have the wind and cold, she only stood in the cold wind for a while, how could she be as if she was seriously ill, he remembered that Yan Qingshuang had mentioned to him earlier, Chu Yunxi hadn't eaten well for a long time, and even hadn't even eaten a grain of rice for a few days.

He held her head and looked at it, rolled up her sleeves again, and took a pulse, which seemed to be weak, as if it were absent. He stroked her hair in distress, hugged her tighter, and asked softly like a child, "You are hungry, what do you want to eat?" ”

Chu Yunxi shook his head in a daze, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not hungry." ”

"Have you eaten in the morning?"

"Nope." Chu Yunxi sighed in his arms, as if he was about to sleep.

He smacked his lips anxiously, looked down and saw that she was asleep, so he flattened her body and turned to go to the kitchen.

Chu Yunxi was also unstable in his sleep, dreaming again and again, and his chest was as uncomfortable as a stone.

In the haze, someone gently shook her body, and she opened her eyes forcefully. Shi Jiaheng stretched out his arms to pick her up, leaned on her arms, and freed her hands to pick up the hot white porridge from the chair for a night. As soon as Chu Yunxifu smelled the smell, his stomach immediately churned, and he retched frequently.

Shi Jiaheng stroked her back with pity, and gently persuaded: "If you don't eat, your body can't bear it." Even if it's for me, for the sake of my own cooking, it's better to eat a little. If you feel that it smells bad, pinch your nose and don't chew it, the rice is boiled, just swallow it. ”

He stirred the porridge with a spoon, scooped up a small half spoonful, and brought it to her mouth. In normal times, she would have pushed her rice bowl in disgust and fell asleep. But seeing the love and pity in his eyes, and hearing his soft words, her heart melted and became soft. She furrowed her brows, the ninja was disgusted, and opened her mouth to take the white porridge from the spoon.

Shi Jiaheng just showed her joy, but saw that her cheeks were bulging, and she seemed to be about to vomit immediately, so she hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, stroked her back with one hand, raised it to her mouth with the other, and said with concern: "But do you want to vomit, vomit in my hand." ”

Chu Yunxi stared down at Shi Jiaheng's clean and delicate palm, and he couldn't bear to spit it out, so he could only suppress the force in his throat and swallow the rice in his mouth desperately.

She exerted all her strength, sweated, and felt like she was about to collapse. The white porridge fell into her stomach and did not spit out. Shi Jiaheng was overjoyed, as if he had won a big battle. After a long time, Shi Jiaheng fed her a second mouthful, although it took a lot of effort, but it was also successful. Under his persuasion, Chu Yunxi actually drank half a bowl of white porridge, he didn't dare to feed her too much food, for fear that his hungry stomach would be unbearable. But even if he only drank half of the white porridge in this small bowl, he was already overjoyed.

Chu Yunxi only felt that her stomach was warm, and the feeling of irritability and disgust was squeezed out by her filled stomach, and she hadn't felt this kind of peace of mind and satisfaction for a long time.

She was lying on the bed with her hair loose and covered with a warm quilt, and a warm fire was burning in the room. She slept for a while, and on one side of her head, she saw that Shi Jiaheng was draped in a thin blanket, sitting against the wall with a pair of bright eyes looking at her, it was almost dusk at the moment, and the winter evening was as dark as late at night.

Chu Yunxi's beautiful eyes lowered, his cheeks turned red, and he said in a low voice: "You can rest too, you don't have to accompany me here, I'm fine." ”

Shi Jiaheng smiled heartily, and said with a sigh: "It's okay, it's okay left and right, I'll just deal with it here for a night." ”

Chu Yunxi hurriedly said, "Then how can it be done." She stared at the thin blanket on him, worried

said: "It's so cold, it's better to lie on the bed and sleep warmly, beware of the cold." ”

Shi Jiaheng yawned and smiled helplessly: "But except for a few old people's houses, only this room has a bed, I rarely spend the night here, and there are no chairs or quilts in the other rooms, but there is also a stove in this room, if you sleep in other rooms, it will be no different from living in an ice cellar." ”

Bowing her head and saying nothing, Shi Jiaheng shook the thin blanket, stood up, and said in a brisk tone: "If you want to avoid suspicion, or feel inconvenient, I will yearn for the old man's house to sit for one night." ”

But what he didn't expect was that Chu Yunxi actually took off a quilt from his body, moved a person's space into the bed, and whispered: "Don't bother, you come up and sleep." It's cold, squeezed and warm. She knew his gentlemanly demeanor and did not reject sleeping with him.

Shi Jiaheng didn't think about it at all, but just joked lightly: "Then should we learn from Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and put a bowl of water in the middle." ”

Chu Yunxi shyly leaned sideways and lay on the wall, as if facing the wall. Shi Jiaheng was behind her, blinking mischievously. He put on a mask, and clothed himself in a cotton garment, and wrapped himself in a quilt.

He also lay down on his side against the edge of the bed.

There was a large gap between the two, lying back to back and back to back. The wind was cold outside the window, and the room was warm, but neither of them was sleepy.

Chu Yunxi hugged the quilt, stared at the silhouette of the candle flame on the wall in a daze with his eyes open, thinking about the events of the day today.

Shi Jiaheng also crossed her arms to ponder Chu Yunxi's thoughts, although in the end she used a little finger to hold his footsteps of finally deciding to give up, and the two hugged in the snow uncontrollably, but he still didn't ask the last key sentence. He expressed his intentions, but he was still not sure of Chu Yunxi's intentions. He has been tormented by her hot and cold attitude these days, and he is suspicious and suspicious, thinking about things and things. He was afraid that as soon as the sun came out tomorrow, Chu Yunxi would become cold again, and kick him out of bed.

He was thinking about having a headache and pinching his temples, when he suddenly heard behind him, Chu Yunxi asked faintly: "Why don't you hire some young and strong people to come to see the garden, why is this courtyard full of old people." ”

He shuddered, glanced back, then turned back and continued to lie with her back, replying, "They are the parents of some of my soldiers. They were all farmers outside the city, some of their sons were sick and died, some of them died fighting with bandits, and all of them had their sons gone, and there was no one to support them, so I wanted to do my part. I wanted to be raised at home, but I didn't think my mouth was as clean as here. For they were accustomed to work, and could not be idle, so they kindly tended the garden for me. I also hired a few gardeners to take care of the flowers, otherwise the plum blossoms in the yard would not have bloomed so well. ”

Chu Yunxi smiled knowingly and said, "You are really kind." It's a good fate for the soldiers to have a general like you. ”

"Good fortune what? The border is hard and the expedition is everywhere, how can you accompany your wife, children and parents at home to be happy? Shi Jiaheng sighed.

"If it weren't for your efforts, there would be no peaceful years now." Chu Yunxi admired these soldiers on the border very much.

Shi Jiaheng smiled proudly: "When a soldier puts on a military uniform, he naturally protects his family and defends the country. ”

The two chatted for a while, then quieted down. Shi Jiaheng was excited, in good spirits, he couldn't get up and box, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't dare to move, making a sound. But the aura of tranquility emanating from the person behind him made him gradually calm down, his eyes flickered, and he slowly became sleepy.

A loud bang on the window woke them both at the same time, and they sat up and looked at each other. The two of them looked at the window for a while, only to realize that it was a strong wind outside the house.

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, looking at each other and smiling.

Shi Jiaheng, who was already having difficulty falling asleep, was completely awake this time, he pinched his eyebrows and sat cross-legged.

Chu Yunxi looked towards the door, although he couldn't see the violent storm outside the door, he could still feel the power of the northern winter from the loud sound of the wind and snow hitting the door and window. She thought for a moment, and suddenly asked worriedly and reproachfully: "Oh, why did I forget Qingshuang, didn't she go to park, why didn't I see her." ”

Shi Jiaheng leaned lazily on the head of the bed and said with a smile: "I met her when I entered the yard, and she drove away directly." ”

Chu Yunxi exclaimed, "Gone? Oh no, wouldn't it be revealing if she went back? She woke up after she called, where is Yan Qingshuang such a stupid person, and said embarrassedly, "That's right, this place is not far from Zhaoxue Nunnery, I think she came to see spring." ”

Shi Jiaheng didn't understand her words and asked, "What?" ”

Chu Yunxi thought for a moment and decided to be honest with him: "Luochun, my nurse, is now temporarily living in Zhaoxue Nunnery. ”

"Nurse?" Shi Jiaheng didn't react for a while, paused, and the incident from five years ago suddenly came to mind, and said in surprise, "She's still alive?" I remember that she and your mother were arrested by Chu Xiaolian at the same time, and she actually escaped! ”

Chu Yunxi sighed: "It's a long story. She put away her sad face and said solemnly, "Jiaheng, I have something very important to tell you. ”

Shi Jiaheng straightened up and looked into her eyes very seriously.

She thought for a moment, lowered her head, and said shyly, "You have seen my shoulder." ”

Shi Jiaheng was stunned for a moment, and explained embarrassedly: "Well, but it's all because you were injured, and I inadvertently ...... you by giving you medicine."

Chu Yunxi smiled clearly: "No need to explain, I know everything." I'm just asking you, do you remember the tattoo on my shoulder? ”

Shi Jiaheng nodded and said, "Remember, it's a red plum." He looked at her rosy pink cheeks in the candlelight, like a peach blossom in March, and said softly, "It's beautiful." ”

Chu Yunxi shyly tilted his head into the bed and told him his life experience. She spoke very slowly, and on several occasions she almost couldn't speak, and the choking of sobs disrupted the rhythm of her speech, and only two hours later she began to cry again.

Chu Yunxi shocked him too much, but this time he wasn't too surprised. In addition to bringing him endless pity, every painful and bumpy encounter of hers also has a more bitter love that is constantly abandoned.

He gently wrapped his arms around her back, clung to her body as she shrank and shrank, as if his own body had created a rigid shell for her.

After listening, Shi Jiaheng's only surprise was Yan Qingshuang's identity: "When I first saw her, I thought she had an extraordinary temperament and a proud and noble spirit. Her pair of phoenix eyes are very similar to the emperor, and such a pair of fierce and majestic phoenix eyes are indeed unique to the Li royal family. ”

Although her life experience has changed and her parents have died tragically, Yan Qingshuang's identity has been revealed, her noble identity, and her unexpected blood relatives have added a touch of warmth to this sad story. Later, when she talked about Chu Yunlian's coercion of her, she no longer felt sad, only a burst of sadness.

After she finished talking, she turned to look at him, and said gloomily: "Doesn't it sound complicated, what I said myself is confused, and I can't understand myself and my relatives anymore." ”

Shi Jiaheng smiled heartily: "Is it complicated?" I think it's very simple, does it matter what the surname is, and what does it matter who the parents are? You are still you, and it seems to me that nothing has changed at all. When I was in the northwest, there were many foreigners in the barracks, some of whom were no different from savages before they entered the barracks, who did not know their parents, their brothers and sisters, and some of whom could not even speak. Why worry about the previous generation, they are all old things, their joys and sorrows have been turned into loess, and your joys, sorrows and sorrows really exist in the world. ”

His words were warm and powerful, which made her feel a little relieved. A man's mind should be like this, wide like mountains and seas, wind and rain can't shake it, huge waves can't make it retreat, even if the sand and rocks are flying and the reefs are everywhere, I am sunny and sunny after the rain.

Chu Yunxi was comforted by him, and his tears were still there, and his smile was natural.

Shi Jiaheng looked at her blankly, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "I also have something very important to tell you." ”

Chu Yunxi was also very serious and prepared to listen: "Please speak." ”

Shi Jiaheng cleared his throat and deliberately made a funny expression to hide his nervousness: "I want to marry you." After saying that, he lowered his head and quietly observed her reaction from the corner of his eye.

Chu Yunxi just wanted to laugh out loud, but his smiling face suddenly stopped.

Shi Jiaheng's heart was cold, and his heart was finished. All longing and anticipation dissipated at once.

Chu Yunxi pondered for a long time, and suddenly came up to him, blinked innocently and asked him, "What do you say?" ”

"Huh?" Shi Jiaheng asked a little stupidly.

Chu Yunxi was embarrassed to cover his face with his hands, hid behind his hands and snickered, and secretly looked at him through his fingers.
