Chapter 110: Nightmare

"Crunch" opened the window, and Lu Shaoyun, who touched the house lightly as he had in the past half a month or so, still inadvertently woke up Xia Shuanghan, who was sleeping, as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"Well, the two most dangerous and difficult areas to explore, have you finished painting tonight?" Waiting for Lu Shaoyun to change his clothes and get into the quilt, Xia Shuanghan, who took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, said softly.

"I'm done." Lu Shaoyun, who covered the quilt and stretched out his arms to take Xia Shuang's warm and soft body into his arms, told everything he and Lin Xuran heard about the "sentinel" tonight.

Since Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran returned from business in early September, the sentinels really began to conduct a thorough secret investigation of the three of them, and then it took a month to reach the final conclusion of the investigation in early October. Xia Shuanghan was not surprised by this situation, what really made her concerned was the fact that the sentinel had been replaced.

"At the group wedding in September, there were several young men from other villages and towns who came to Naming Village to be grooms, and if the new sentry mixed in with them, no one could easily find him!"

"That's what you're saying, but it doesn't matter." Smelling the fragrance of cinnamon on Xia Shuanghan's hair, Lu Shaoyun, whose body was completely relaxed, said sleepily: "Anyway, when the map is drawn this winter, the Tongcheng defenders can be organized to encircle and suppress according to the map in the coming year." No matter how many sentinels are replaced, as long as they don't suspect us, then it's fine. ”

On the third day of the first month of October, under the reflection of the hazy snow, the cold air that overflowed into the house from the crack in the window woke up the summer frost that was huddled in Lu Shaoyun's arms.

Crawling out of the quilt and getting out of the house, I practiced health boxing and drank hot soup by the fire pond in the summer frost, and then I felt that my body was really warm.

"Shixuan and Ziran, after you finish eating, go to the north of the village with Aguirre and help the other villagers seal the mountain together!"

By the fire pond, the closure of the mountain in the mouth of the head of the family, Hazru, is the winter preparation that Naming Village will do every autumn.

A few years ago, before the Mobei royal family was destroyed, the mountain road in and out of the village was sealed in the autumn to prevent a possible sneak attack by the Mobei people. Now, when the Mobei people are no longer a threat, the closure of the mountain has been carried out many days later than in previous years, in order to prevent snow foxes and wolves from entering the village in winter and injuring children.

Next to the gurgling water, the mountain road that led along the small river to the entrance and exit of the mountain with a waterfall was completely sealed by Lu Shaoyun, Lin Xuran and the rest of the young men with a fence and a horse rejection. Looking at the sealed mountain road, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran were not worried.

For them who are excellent at light work, it is not much difficulty to overcome the heavy obstacle of rejecting horses. Even if the mountain is closed to snow, the small river outside the fence is mixed with hot spring water, and even though the water temperature is very low, it still does not freeze and snow all year round.

Therefore, walking on the stone shallows, where no one treads on them, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran, who follow the river into the mountains, will not be affected in the slightest by entering and leaving Chuzi Mountain every night to draw maps.

However, when the village was completely covered in snow, in order to cover the footprints of the two of them approaching the rejection horse, they had to wait for the children in the village to build snowmen and have snowball fights in the open field inside the fence.

"You're back, are you cold?" On the first floor of Ye Hong's house, in the greenhouse where the fire was burning, Xia Shuanghan, who was drawing on the small table, put down the Yiwen pen in his hand and stepped forward to greet Lu Shaoyun, who had just come back from outside.

"Don't, I've got air conditioning on me, don't come here yet." Since the beginning of July, Lu Shaoyun learned from Xia Shuanghan, who was menstruating, that she would be unwell once she was contaminated with too much cold, he was very careful, and every time he came back from going out, he always had to find a way to make himself hot before he was willing to let Xia Shuanghan get close.

"Okay, got it." Xia Shuanghan, who knew Lu Shaoyun's concern for her, poured two cups of hot milk tea and handed them over separately after he and Aguirre sat down by the fire to warm up. As for Lin Xuran, who also just entered the house, there is Baliya who is worried.

"What did you draw today? Let me see. Lu Shaoyun, who had dispelled the cold on his body by the fire, held the teacup and moved over to sit on the cushion beside Xia Shuanghan.

"I haven't painted anything, since I left Beijing, I haven't been able to touch the brush well in recent months, so now I practice the basic skills, and next year I can paint a few seriously and sell them to the True Fun Pavilion."

In the warm and peaceful conservatory, Camorra teaches her daughter Tireco red needlework, Balia, Aguirre and Lin Xuran chat around the fire over tea, the elderly Pajrush and Baimat guide their two great-grandsons in calligraphy and abacus, and Hazru, Sanisha and Taruk make bows and arrows for their daily hunting.

Lu Shaoyun, who was holding a teacup and crooked beside Xia Shuanghan, looking at the quiet and warm daily life of Ye Hong's family, deeply realized: In fact, if his family members can also let go of their own calculations and live under the same roof in love, then Xia Shuanghan will not ask "let him enter the Xia family". It's just that it is completely impossible to let go of the calculations in your hearts for your family members who are accustomed to intrigue.

"What do you think?" Xia Shuanghan, who raised his head from the drawing paper, glanced at Lu Shaoyun, who was obviously worried about beside him, and asked, "Look at you nodding and shaking your head for a while, what is it that makes you can't make up your mind?" ”

"It's nothingβ€”" Lu Shaoyun's unspoken words were interrupted by a knock on the door from outside the greenhouse.

"I'll answer the door." Hearing a knock at the door, Balia, who had no work in her hands, stood up and went out of the house to open the door.

On such an afternoon when the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and every family gathers in their own conservatories to keep warm, it is Ugal who has a dark complexion and a healthy flush on his face.

Handing the repaired pottery of the Yehon family in his hand to Bariya, and patting the snowy Ugar on his shoulder and hat, he told the true purpose of his trip.

"Brother Shixuan, in fact, I came here this time mainly to ask you to teach me how to write a few words." At the small table where Xia Shuanghan was painting, the sincere Ugal explained: "Next spring, my brother said that he would take me south to do business and go to the capital to see the world, so I have been busy learning Chinese these days. ”

"It's just that when I asked my brother what were the main towns along the road after entering the customs, and how to pronounce and write the names of the towns, my brother said that he was just familiar with the Chinese characters, but he couldn't actually write them. I pondered, since I want to go to business, then I can't wait for the customs to enter and be blind, right? So I thought, can you please teach me to recognize a few place names in the Guannai. ”

"Yes, no problem!" Lu Shaoyun has a very good impression of this young man from the Rong tribe who rescued the village with Umar. So, he took Xia Shuanghan's brush, wrote a page of proud words through the back of the paper, and handed it over.

The howling cold wind carried the goose feather snow, completely covering the entire village of Naming under the soft white snow.

On October 12, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran, who had been exploring at night for almost a month, finally couldn't stand the fatigue and made up their minds to give themselves a three-day vacation on such a cold and poor night with poor visibility.

In the fluffy quilt, Lu Shaoyun, who was holding Xia Shuanghan in his arms, was immersed in sleep with a smile on his face, and what he dreamed of was the time after his marriage with Xia Shuanghan in his previous life.

In the capital in late May, in order to complete the hidden mission given to him by His Royal Highness the Prince, Lu Shaoyun, who was about to leave Beijing with the Rong caravan on the first day of June, quietly sneaked into the Dingguo Mansion under the cover of night, and came to say a final goodbye to his newly married wife Xia Shuanghan, who had just turned one month.

Looking at Xia Shuanghan, who had a lot of affection, a lot of concern, a lot of reluctance and a lot of concern, Lu Shaoyun couldn't help lowering his head and kissed her fiercely.

"Tingxuan, don't, you should go." Xia Shuanghan, who was panting and slumped on the bed after being kissed, weakly raised his hand to push Lu Shaoyun, who was obviously aroused by desire.

And in the face of his wife with peach blossoms on her face and affectionate eyebrows, Lu Shaoyun, who couldn't restrain her desires, indulged herself and pressed it, and kept coaxing: "Shuang Han, I won't be able to come back until next year, do you really want to reject me now?" I'm so uncomfortable, once, I'm just once, okay? ”

"That'...... Well......" The wife, who is attached to her husband and also does not want to be separated from her husband, finally chooses to compromise.

And with the dream of gradually entering bliss, Lu Shaoyun, who was immersed in his sleep, woke up the real Xia Shuanghan sleeping in his arms from his shallow sleep in the unconscious rubbing.

Feeling the hard and hot parts that kept rubbing on his thighs, he couldn't decide whether it was better for Lu Shaoyun to vent or better wake him up, so he froze completely.

And just when she couldn't make up her mind and listened to Lu Shaoyun in her sleep in a daze and kept calling in her ear "frost, frost", Lu Shaoyun, who had climbed the top in her sleep, stopped gasping after wetting her dirty pants.

Xia Shuanghan, who couldn't let Lu Shaoyun continue to sleep with such a wet and fishy thing, turned around helplessly, raised his hand and gently patted Lu Shaoyun's cheek, and called: "Tingxuan, Tingxuan, wake up, wake up!" ”

Lu Shaoyun, who was still immersed in the afterglow of sleep, opened his sleepy eyes with a pant. Glancing at Xia Shuanghan, who was next to him in front of him, constantly blowing the warm wind with the fragrance of Myanmar to his face, he was still not very clear, obeyed the instinctive tendency, turned over and pressed Xia Shuanghan under him, kissed her slender neck, and said coquettishly: "Shuanghan, I still want it." ”

"......" Lu Shaoyun's words made Xia Shuanghan blush. Helpless and embarrassed for a moment of silence, when he saw that Lu Shaoyun was about to tear off her collar and go under her collarbone, he understood that he was sleeping in a daze, and raised his hand to stop his movements, "Tingxuan, you are sleepy, hurry up, go and change your pants." ”

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸοΌβ€ Lu Shaoyun, who was still sucking and kissing on Xia Shuanghan's collarbone, felt the stickiness and slippery of his lower body after hearing the persuasion of his sweetheart, and further realized his current situation.

"Woo, I was caught by my sweetheart when I was in a dream, what a shame!" Lu Shaoyun, who was shouting so wildly in his heart, turned over with a red face and got off Xia Shuanghan's body and got out of the bed.

And through the snow and moonlight, Xia Shuanghan, who glimpsed a touch of shyness, embarrassment and regret on Lu Shaoyun's red face, recalled that he had been eaten to death by Lu Shaoyun in sexual affairs in his previous life, so he had never seen him with such an expression.

"Don't laugh!" Changing out of his dirty pants, Lu Shaoyun, who had taken care of his body with a handkerchief, blushed with a red face, put on clean dirty pants, and got into the quilt to scoop the smiling Xia Shuanghan into his arms.

"I said, what the hell are you dreaming about?" Xia Shuanghan, who was pressed into her arms by the shy Lu Shaoyun, couldn't see her sweetheart's red cheeks, so she could only bury her head on Lu Shaoyun's chest and giggle: "You know, I was woken up by your incessant 'frost, frost' calls." ”

"I ......" originally felt that it was very embarrassing for me to dream of being caught by my sweetheart, but when I saw that the more shy I was, the happier Xia Shuanghan laughed, and Lu Shaoyun finally broke the jar helplessly and said: "I dreamed that you and I got married, and then ......"

Xia Shuanghan, who was shocked from Lu Shaoyun's narration and realized that his dream was the fact of his previous life, was completely stunned. "Why, why did Ting Xuan see the things of his previous life again? What the hell is going on? ”

And Lu Shaoyun, who was holding Xia Shuanghan with one hand and didn't feel Xia Shuanghan's almost imperceptible stiffness, was still telling his feelings: "That dream is very real and distinct, and it gives me the feeling as if it really happened." However, this is obviously impossible! ”

Faced with the situation of landing Shaoyun seeing the events of his previous life for the second time, Xia Shuanghan, who was stunned for a short time, quickly returned to his usual calm.

After all, for this kind of thing that only happened in Lu Shaoyun's mind, Xia Shuanghan had no way to stop and deal with it. What she can do now is to comfort Lu Shaoyun when he may see the scene of the breakdown of their marriage in their previous life, and let him who is busy with official business not think crankily to affect his state, almost nothing left is to wait helplessly.

If it is destined that Lu Shaoyun wants to gain the memory of his previous life little by little, then what other ways can Xia Shuanghan deal with it besides accepting it? After all, when it comes to getting the memories of your past life, no one can tell whether it's a blessing or a curse until the end, right?

"Ting Xuan," Xia Shuanghan, who listened to the "plopping" heartbeat in his ears, quietly pillowed on Lu Shaoyun's chest, asked: "If you have such a real dream in the future, remember to tell me, okay?" ”

"Don't you?" Looking back on his dream with his sweetheart, his body is so hot that he can only watch it and can't eat it, which is too torturous and cruel.

"No, you have to tell me!" Xia Shuanghan, who wanted to know exactly how much Lu Shaoyun knew about the things in his previous life, raised his head and licked and kissed Lu Shaoyun's neck, and then threatened: "Otherwise, even if you and I really get married in the future, I won't give it to you!" ”

"......" Lu Shaoyun, who was made sweet and painful by Xia Shuanghan's kiss, finally reluctantly compromised: "Okay, I know, everything is according to what you say, it's okay now!" ”

After being reborn, Xia Shuanghan clearly remembered that the first picture Lu Shaoyun saw in this life about her previous life was the scene of her dying in front of her relatives' graves in her previous life. Therefore, based on this not a wonderful beginning, Xia Shuanghan was prepared that Lu Shaoyun's dream would break the chronological order, interspersed with jumps to show the past events of his previous life.

However, even though Xia Shuanghan knew that this winter, Lu Shaoyun was very likely to see the scene of their marriage breaking down in her previous life in her dreams, and she was mentally prepared in her heart, but she still didn't expect that this expected dream would come so quickly.

On the night of October 13, just over twelve hours after Lu Shaoyun saw the scene of the couple saying goodbye in his dream, Lu Shaoyun, who had entered sleep with Xia Shuanghan in his arms, once again saw the scene of his previous life in his dream.

"Don't, Frost, don't go, don't leave me...... No way, even if I die, I won't agree to reconcile with you...... Frost, I really can't part with you, don't you go......"

Xia Shuanghan, who was lying on her side facing the right side, was awakened by the helpless murmur of Lu Shaoyun, who was also sleeping on her side. When she opened her sleepy eyes, she didn't care about the arm on her waist that was tightening her more and more, so she only turned around in Lu Shaoyun's arms with great effort, and began to call him face to face.

"Shuang Han, don't go...... Lu Shaoyun, who frowned, and his face was full of pain and struggle, obviously tortured by the dream.

And looking at Lu Shaoyun, who was so painful and helpless, Xia Shuanghan could only increase his efforts to push him, in order to wake him up from his sleep as soon as possible. "Tingxuan, Tingxuan, wake up, I'm Shuanghan, I didn't leave you, you open your eyes and look at me!"

"Frost Cold?!" Lu Shaoyun, who finally woke up from her sleep, after seeing that the figure in front of her was indeed Xia Shuanghan, she hugged her into her arms hard. "Great, Frost, you didn't leave me! Now, I won't let you go! ”

His back was strangled by Lu Shaoyun's arm, and his neck socket was also sore by Lu Shaoyun's hard chin, but he felt that Lu Shaoyun couldn't stop trembling Xia Shuanghan, but he didn't have the heart to care about his feelings.

Raising her right arm to hug Lu Shaoyun, she gently patted him on the back, and said comforting him in a loud voice: "Tingxuan, you have a nightmare, this is Naming Village, we held a wedding here according to the Rong tradition, do you remember?" ”

"Naming Village?" Lu Shaoyun, who was still immersed in a dream that was too real, delayed his efforts for a while before accepting the fact that he did not really marry Xia Shuanghan, and she never belonged to him.

"Frost and cold," Lu Shaoyun, who couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought of the scene of Xia Shuanghan resolutely leaving him in the dream, hugged the delicate body in his arms and said fragily: "No matter what happens in the future, don't leave me, okay?" ”

"......" didn't want to make a promise that he couldn't keep, and he didn't want to hit Lu Shaoyun's Xia Shuanghan with cruel words at this moment, so he responded to his request with a lingering kiss.

And Lu Shaoyun, who was bewitched by this soothing kiss, was once again deeply aware of a fact in a daze - just like Xia Shuanghan in the dream left him, what really determines whether they can spend their lives together is never the relationship between them.

"Tingxuan, what did you dream about? Speak up and let me help you share the burden, okay? After a kiss, Xia Shuanghan, who was sure that Lu Shaoyun had completely calmed down, decided to listen to this dream that she had already guessed most of the contents. And Lu Shaoyun's narrative just confirmed the conjecture in her heart.

The content of the dream is what happened on the night when Xia Shuanghan in his previous life asked Lu Shaoyun to make peace and leave.

That night, Lu Shaoyun, whose eyes were red, tore Xia Shuanghan's handwritten and divorced book into pieces, and intended to use force on her in the Xia family's boudoir before she got married. It's just that her heart-rending cry softened his body, and they wept together, imprisoned by the invisible cage in their hearts, and couldn't find an escape exit.

"Frost, I don't think this dream is normal." Relieved from the reminiscences and narratives that made people feel depressed and suffocated, Lu Shaoyun, who deeply felt that this dream was too real, it was impossible to laugh at it. "You say, is this dream some kind of harbinger to remind me that if I can't make arrangements for our future, we may have such a tragic ending if we marry with hidden dangers?"

"I don't know, but I don't think you should be cranky at this stage. After all, when the matter of the red and white pill is settled, we can go back to Beijing and settle the marriage between you and me again, right? So now, the most important thing you should do is to have a good rest and prepare for the busyness that follows. ”

Xia Shuanghan, who still didn't think that "now it's up to me to tell the past of my previous life" was a wise choice, quietly snuggled in Lu Shaoyun's arms and comforted him softly. But at this time, she thought that it would be completely too late to deal with the marriage between them after returning to Beijing, but she would not have thought that when she and Lu Shaoyun stepped into the capital again, everything would be different.

October 18 was a cloudy, windy northerly and unusually cold day.

In the capital, more than 4,500 miles away from Naming Village, Su Yixing, the prince of Xiangyang, who had entered the top duty of the Criminal Department as usual, received a task that required him to leave Beijing and leave home and go to the northwest to complete.

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials were greedy for official silver, which caused the Jiuping Iron Mine to be strengthened without silver, and eventually led to the death of more than 300 miners due to the collapse of the mine and the leakage of groundwater?" In front of the spacious and neat desk, putting down the file in his hand, Su Yixing, who had a solemn face, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and then began to hand over the unfinished official business in his hand, preparing for the upcoming investigation in the northwest.
