The snow brought the snow-covered village of Naming into December. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Seeing that the ice period is about to pass halfway and the New Year is approaching, Yehong's family has begun to get busy for Chinese New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival.

In the room where the carpet was dismantled and dusted, Xia Shuanghan stood on a small stool while raising his hands high, holding down the two corners of the felt that had been cleaned and was about to be re-hung, while turning his head and asking Bariya behind him to determine if he had hung the felt right and whether he needed to adjust it again.

However, Bariya, who was standing behind her, looked at her with empty eyes, and obviously did not hear her question in her heart.

"Bariya, Bariya?" Putting down the felt in his hand and jumping off the small stool, Xia Shuanghan, who knew that Baliya had something on her mind, walked up to her and patted her shoulder and said, "Baliya, what are you thinking?" If you have something on your mind, let's figure it out together, okay? ”

"Frost ...... Sister Frost. Baliya, who looked depressed and lost, woke up from her distraction, bit her lower lip, and said hesitantly: "Two days ago, I found an opportunity to confide in Brother Zhu Ran about my thoughts, but I just ...... It's just that I was rejected by him. ”

In the marriage tradition of the Rong people, young men and women who have reached marriageable age, if they have their favorite object, can directly express their hearts to each other, and there is no such thing as "a woman is not reserved when she speaks first".

After expressing one's heart, if both parties are happy, then they can get along naturally and move towards the palace of marriage. If you convey your mind and are rejected after expressing your heart, there is no such thing as losing face. Both parties can say "I wish you happiness" to each other, and then turn around in style to find their true partner in this life.

Therefore, Baliya, who has now been rejected by Lin Xuran, does not have the dilemma that she can't hold her face and can't continue to get along with him under the same roof. Now, all her emotions are nothing more than the loss of being rejected by the man she likes and a kind of stasis that she can't ask for.

"You say he rejected you? But it shouldn't be! "These days, Lin Xuran's different attitude towards Baliya is obvious to everyone, will he reject Baliya? How do you think about it, how do you feel that it shouldn't be! "You asked him why he rejected you?"

"Why don't you need to ask! Doesn't rejecting me mean he doesn't like me? If you don't like it, you don't like it, so what's the reason? Baliya, who was so sure of the facts, picked up the wall felt that was put aside by Xia Shuanghan, climbed on the small stool, and continued Xia Shuanghan's unfinished work and said, "Sister Shuanghan, help me take a look, can I fix it?" ”

"Well, that's fine, it's in the right place." After carefully looking at the felt in Baliya's hand, after she fixed it and jumped off the small stool, Xia Shuanghan pinched it and said the reason why she guessed that Lin Xuran would reject her.

In Xia Shuanghan's eyes, Lin Xuran obviously had a good impression of Baliya but still rejected her, the real reason is that there will be no other possibility except for his current false identity and concerns about the future.

After all, once his true identity is restored, Lin Xuran will not only no longer be the same as he is now, but once Baliya marries him, she must also live with him in the capital, and may even leave Jiangnan in a few years because of his transfer, and she will never have the opportunity to return to Guanwai in her life.

If she lives in the capital, Baliya has Xia Shuanghan, a friend, and she can also see her relatives when the caravan goes to business every year, so she may not have much nostalgia. However, if she goes south one day in the future, Baliya has no relatives and no reason around her, and most of the Han people around her are prejudiced against people of different races. The huge difference between the agrarian civilization and the nomadic civilization will continue to affect her life at every moment.

After a few years of living like this, which made her feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar, would Balia really be satisfied and happy with their marriage and relationship?

"So Sister Shuanghan, do you mean to say that Brother Qi Ran rejected me because he thought about me and thought that I could only be happier and happier if I continued to live outside the Guanwai?"

"Personally, I think it should be like this." Glancing at the expression of surprise and joy in front of Baliya, Xia Shuanghan encouraged: "So Baliya, I personally think that for the sake of your lifelong happiness, you should go to Zhu Ran and ask him why he rejected you; And tell him what trade-offs you are willing to make for him. In this way, if you still don't succeed in the end, then you won't regret or regret your efforts today, right? ”

"Thank you, Sister Frost." Baliya, who was completely uplifted by Xia Shuanghan's explanation, jumped up and said, "When I am free tonight, I will go to Brother Qi Ran and have a good talk with him again." ”

The busy afternoon passed quickly. Near dusk, Xia Shuanghan, who had his hands free, went to the village assembly square at Camorra's request to find the three children of the Yehong family who had a snowball fight with their neighbors.

In the village, the snow on the stone-paved path has gradually transformed into a thick, slippery crust of ice after repeated trampling and freezing. Walking all the way to the assembly square, Xia Shuanghan saw many young men holding shovels to remove ice and shovel snow. At the nearest fork in the road from the assembly square, the three children she was looking for were gathering around Ugar as he was working with a few friends, shouting for him to tell a story.

Ugal, who has lived on the grassland since he was a child, and has become the favorite "story king" of most of the children in the village since late September, relying on his own personal experience.

After all, in Naming Village, which is closed in winter, the children basically have no chance to get out of the village. In addition to the various daily homework, there are only a few kinds of game projects, which is inevitably a bit boring. Therefore, for the children who have lived a settled life since birth, the experience of life in Ugal has become a wonderful adventure.

Outside the circle of children, waiting for Ugal to tell a story while working and telling a story, after telling the story of the nomadic eagle training and how to predict the next weather by observing the eagle flying in the sky, Xia Shuanghan called the three children of the Camorra to his side.

"Ugal, you're a good storyteller!" Looking at the unfinished and reluctant expressions on the faces of the three children in front of him, Xia Shuanghan smiled and said to Ugal, who had turned a lot whiter after a winter of recuperation: "I just don't know, is your basic Chinese as good as your story?" ”

"I've learned almost all the Chinese for trading and bargaining! Why don't you practice with me? After knocking down the last piece of ice crust on the stone steps with a shovel and shoveling it aside, Ugal resisted the shovel and practiced conversation with Xia Shuanghan as he led the children forward.

It's just that Xia Shuanghan, who was walking back with this hearty and talkative young man at this time, would not have thought that in the near future, Ugar would bring so much trouble and twists and turns to her and Lu Shaoyun's lives.

With the pure white tone of ice and snow, La Yue slipped all the way to the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, by the "crackling" fire pond, Lu Shaoyun and Sijia's heartfelt Xia Shuanghan, who had completed the entire map, were discussing the marriage of Baliya and Lin Qiran while eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the Yehong family who were also sitting around the fire.

The second conversation between Baliya and Lin Xuran, encouraged by Xia Shuanghan, turned out to be very successful.

After both of them explained to each other what they could do for their marriage and what kind of obligations they needed their partners to take on for their marriage, Lin Xuran, who put aside all his worries and was quite confident in his true appearance, finally made his relationship with Baliya official. Next, as long as there is no accident, after a period of running-in and enhancing understanding, they will officially become husband and wife.

His youngest daughter will live in the capital with her son-in-law after marriage, and Hazru and Sanisa are very reluctant to do so. However, when they thought of their first three daughters, who had already married nomads and could only spend less than a month a year together before and after the celebration, they were relieved.

"It's not in vain this time!" Holding a bowl of hot dumplings that had just come out of the pot, Lu Shaoyun joked with a playful smile: "I went to the gate and walked outside, I didn't delay the business, and I solved the lifelong event for myself, but you are a good kid!" ”

"No matter how good it is, you don't have any hands and feet! I remember very clearly, when you first chased your sister-in-law, she was dislike and disgusted with you! ”

Lin Xuran's dislike and dislike naturally meant that in the post station outside Xiaopeach Blossom Village, Xia Shuanghan sternly rejected Lu Shaoyun's matter. It's just that looking at Lu Shaoyun's smiling posture all day long these days, Lin Xuran believes that after returning to the capital, he will soon be able to drink a small happy wine.

After a sumptuous dinner, it is the traditional festival game time of the Rong people. Since the Rong people did not post Spring Festival couplets and send the stove king to heaven for the New Year, after the firecrackers were set off, the game activities in which the whole family participated became the most important part of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Looking at the Yehong family who were quietly laughing in front of them, unable to meet the summer frost of the upcoming Bingyin Year with their father and younger brother, a strong sense of nostalgia surged in their hearts again.

"Are you thinking about your father and brother Chaoyang? Rest assured, in a few months, we will be able to see them soon. Since he had a wedding with Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun, who called both parents of the husband and wife "father" and "mother" according to the Rong tradition, saw the reason for Xia Shuanghan's low mood at a glance.

Although, as a soldier who has been in the army alone for eight years, Lu Shaoyun has become accustomed to the melancholy of not being able to reunite with his relatives in the New Year. However, when he first joined the army, he still remembers the feelings of his grandfather who loved him the most.

Because of his childhood admiration for his grandfather, who had great military achievements and strong martial arts, Lu Shaoyun followed his grandfather since he was three years old and began his martial arts career of practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer. Therefore, compared with respect for his father and deference to his mother, in the Dingguo Mansion, the person closest to Lu Shaoyun emotionally had to teach him martial arts and calligraphy, and took Lu Xiaoqing, who had lived in Xixia Courtyard for five years.

Therefore, in the days when he left home and served in the army, if he said how much he missed his parents and brothers and sisters, then Lu Shaoyun believed that even if he added them all, his weight would not be as good as that of Lu Xiaoqing.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren that Lu Xiaoqing chose his favorite Lu Shaoyun among the fifth, sixth, and seventh young masters of the Lu family, who are close in age to Xia Shuanghan, to settle a family relationship with Xia Shuanghan.

"What? How could there be such a thing? In the soft quilt, Xia Shuanghan, who had come out of the mood of homesickness, said with a shocked face after hearing what Lu Shaoyun said about this past that she didn't know in her previous life: "At the beginning, it was possible for me to marry your sixth brother or your seventh brother?" Your sixth brother was born with a weak illness and couldn't get out of the house all the year round, if your grandfather promised me to him, then it really can't be said whose family is repaying the favor to whom! ”

"That means, if you are not willing to marry my sixth brother, are you willing to marry my seventh brother?" Helping Xia Shuanghan cover her hands that have not warmed up by themselves throughout the winter, Lu Shaoyun joked to her: "After all, my seventh brother is a talented man praised by everyone in Beijing!" ”

"Snort." Xia Shuanghan smiled speechlessly and abnormally: "If I like talents, wouldn't it be good to marry Zirun directly?" Do you have to wait for your younger brother, who is still a man, to work hard to get into the Jinshi? 'Lu Tingxuan, no matter how good other men in the world are, I'm not interested, I just like you! Are you satisfied with such an answer? ”

"Well, very satisfied, very satisfied. With your words, I'm going to have another good night's sleep tonight! ”

Recently, since Xia Shuanghan accepted Lu Shaoyun's proposal to marry him and promised to marry him after returning to Beijing, Lu Shaoyun's dreams have never seen Xia Shuanghan leave him or her dead.

Originally, it was a gratifying and congratulatory thing to completely get rid of those terrible scenes and not be haunted by painful nightmares anymore, but Lu Shaoyun recently found that when there were all good things in the dream, there were also many things that made him feel hard and tormented.

For example, in a dream, he can invite Xia Shuanghan to go to the clouds and rain with him in various postures, but in reality, he can only look at Xia Shuanghan sleeping next to him, and endure the lust and fire. After all, who let Xia Shuanghan do what Xia Shuanghan did to him in the bathroom on the night they faked their marriage, and she said that she would not help him do anything afterwards! Therefore, in addition to "self-reliance", Lu Shaoyun now has only one way to go: forcible patience.

However, for Lu Shaoyun, who is in the arms of a beautiful woman and has been relieved here once in Xia Shuanghan, it is too hard to endure himself. So in the end, he couldn't bear it anymore but wanted to stick to the bottom line, so he had to take a certain ungentlemanly approach.

In the middle of the night, when a dream was halfway done, but somehow suddenly woke up from sleep, Lu Shaoyun, whose body was swollen and painful, finally succumbed to his body's choice after several frictions and hesitations, raised his hand to point Xia Shuanghan's sleeping hole and adjusted her to a flat lying position.

Then, he couldn't restrain himself from reaching into the placket of her clothes to do whatever he wanted, and after tearing open the placket of the person next to the pillow, he kissed and gnawed around Xia Shuanghan's collarbone, shoulders and chest in obsession, and at the same time took one of her hands to help himself relieve his desire.

On the second day of the following, Lu Shaoyun, who thought that he had cleaned up the physical evidence, while reminiscing about the wonderful taste of the first night, secretly decided in his heart that after Xia Shuang fell asleep tonight, he would do the same again. It's a pity that after dinner, Xia Shuanghan, who came back from going to a hot spring bath, suddenly beat him with a fist and not much before falling asleep.

"Lu Tingxuan, you bastard, do you know how long I was laughed at because of these marks on my body when I went to the bathhouse today! And...... And ......" Xia Shuanghan said this, I don't know whether he was angry or ashamed, his face was flushed and said: "You don't know if you are a little lighter when you take a bit, I will say, why did it hurt when I got up this morning, and when I took a bath in the bathroom, I realized that I was sucked by you bastard." ”

Recalling last night's forgetfulness, Lu Shaoyun, who thought that as long as he cleaned up the physical evidence, there would be no problem because he had no experience, was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't help but glance at Xia Shuanghan's chest hidden under his clothes, and said with a helpless expression: "I didn't know that it was so tender there, so ...... So...... Does this really hurt? ”

"Nonsense, can it not hurt, you guy is not only heavy in his mouth, but also heavy in his hands! There are still finger marks that have been pinched and bruised by you next to the broken skin, and I went to the bathhouse today, and I couldn't scrub it properly. Xia Shuanghan, who felt that the traces on his body were embarrassing and uncomfortable, was so angry that he swung a punch at Lu Shaoyun's chest, "I'm surprised, you are neither a dog nor a pig, how can you look ugly like this!" ”

"Frost Cold, you said I've been hungry for twenty-one years, and you've been lying next to me for the last few months, it's good that I can't help but eat you completely!" The cheeky Lu Shaoyun grabbed Xia Shuanghan's fist again, and said inch by inch: "And I look ugly when I eat, it's not because I'm hungry first, and I haven't eaten before!" When I eat more than a few times in the future, the appearance of eating will naturally become very elegant. ”

...... "Yaguan, you big-headed ghost!" I ate it for three years in my previous life, and I still ate it over and over again, and your food appearance has never looked good. Aside from not hurting me again, how have you not been like a wolf? If I still believe your nonsense in my life, won't I become two hundred and five?

Of course, these words, Xia Shuanghan can't say them blatantly no matter what. So, she glared at Lu Shaoyun angrily, withdrew her hand and said, "If you don't learn to be honest and leave traces on me casually, you can wait for a year and a half of sleeping in a separate room after getting married, and then come to me!" ”

"Okay, yes, yes, yes, it's me, it's me!" Lu Shaoyun, who heard the loopholes that could be exploited from Xia Shuanghan's words, said silently in his heart: "It means that as long as I don't leave traces, I can actually still eat it!" ”

Facing Lu Shaoyun, who had a cunning look in his eyes and had obviously noticed the loophole in her words, Xia Shuanghan didn't say anything more. After all, as long as the final bottom line is kept, for the sake of Lu Shaoyun's body, there is nothing wrong with asking her to put a little water. Anyway, when she returns to the capital, she will marry him sooner or later!

So in this way, with the deliberate connivance of Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun clicked her sleeping hole every now and then for many nights, and secretly tasted her several times with great attention. It wasn't until the time slowly passed the Lantern Festival and when he went to the second half of the first month that Lu Shaoyun, who had to take the next step on the matter, finally stopped his mouth that he couldn't eat enough.

According to the map that Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran had finally revised and transcribed, they had already drawn up an encirclement and suppression plan, and they needed to take the token given to them by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before they left Beijing, and go to Tongcheng Pass to transfer troops.

The time for mobilizing troops and launching encirclement and suppression should not be too early or too late. It was early on, and the Chuz region was still under a blockade of ice and snow, and the army could not enter the mountains to carry out its mission when it came; Late, when the ice period is over, the criminals who have been living in the cave for the whole winter will go out of the mountains and into the town, renting horses and camels in preparation for the transport of red and white pills into the customs. Moreover, even if the army arrived, it would not be able to wipe out the scattered criminals.

Therefore, leaving Naming Village for Tongcheng Pass in early February, and leading troops to encircle and suppress at the end of the ice period, became the inevitable choice of Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran.

However, there is still some time to go before the beginning of February is still some time before the ice and snow melt period is completely entered, so it is difficult for them not to be noticed by the "sentinels" in the village if they leave Naming Village on such a day when the ice and snow block the road and travel is inconvenient. Therefore, pretending to be sick and not getting better for ten days and half a month has become a task that Xia Shuanghan must complete.

For Xia Shuanghan, who had already received the pills that might come in handy from Lu Shaoyun when he was in the capital, it was not difficult to take it and put on a natural and sick appearance according to the effect of the medicine.

As a result, Xia Shuanghan's pale and haggard complexion, the low-grade fever that did not go away for several days, and the condition that the whole bottle of the pill to cure wind and cold bought from the east market of the capital did not get better, which completely worried Ye Hong's family.

"How so?" Looking at Xia Shuanghan, who was listless in front of her and looked groggy and languishing, she thought of her friend who had passed away, that is, Sanisha, who had passed away Xia Shuanghan's mother, and was very worried about her condition. "Wasn't you getting better soon after that cold in November, but this time, why did it drag on for so long and still not get better? What the hell is going wrong? ”

"Aunt Sanisa, I'm fine, I believe that in a while, I will definitely be fine." Facing the Yehong family who cared about her very much, Xia Shuanghan felt guilty in her heart. But as soon as she thought that as long as Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xuran went to the small town in Tongcheng Pass to invite her back as a "doctor", she could take the antidote, and then let herself "recover" quickly, and Xia Shuanghan was relieved.
