Extra eight
In the warm pavilion of the plum garden of the Dingguo Mansion, after getting Xu's affirmative reply, he slowly showed a sly smile, and wanted to put the attitude of "I'm sorry, I never thought of following your routine from beginning to end" from the beginning, and used his words and deeds today to deeply engrave Xia Shuanghan on Xu's heart, so he turned around and walked towards the banana tail qin that was resting on the piano case. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He stopped two or three steps away from the case, took out the soft whip wrapped around his waist in the blink of an eye, and swung towards the silver strings.
A loud sound of "Zheng" resounded throughout the courtyard in the blink of an eye. The women and girls who heard the loud noise were all stunned.
"Madame Shizi, you see, all the girls and ladies present who are sitting, standing, or falling from their chairs have all been dumbfounded because of the sound of the piano. Thinking of how frightened and excited they are now, I must have completed my task of playing the harp in the shortest possible time, and helping to refresh everyone. ”
"You...... You ......" Xu, who was so frightened by the loud bang just now that his heart was about to jump out, slapped the armrest of the armchair heavily in anger, and then stood up. The green tendons on her forehead jumped suddenly, trembling, and raised a finger to point at Xia Shuanghan, even if she opened her mouth, she would be dragged down and beaten.
"What's the matter, Lady Shiko? Am I not playing the piano to your satisfaction? Xia Shuanghan, who had an arrogant smile on his face and an innocent tone, asked, "But, just now when I made a statement to you to confirm before touching the qin, didn't you already nod your head in agreement?" So now, with that instrument lying intact on the table, what are you so upset about? ”
"Oh, I see, don't you think Fang Cai's voice is not refreshing enough? So you want me to show you something else that is even more refreshing? This is easy to do, fighting, being injured and bleeding or something is the most refreshing, as long as you don't look for Grandpa Lu's personal accompaniment, you can pull over twenty strong grandmothers or little maids in this mansion, and I can also knock them all down to you in a moment. ”
"After all, I think that before the Mobei Iron Cavalry was completely wiped out by the Great Xia warriors, we Rong people, who also lived outside the northwest, always had to fight with them in late autumn and early winter. Although I haven't killed half of the Mobei people when I'm so old, whether it's my bow horse or whip technique, I learned it from my mother, who killed the Mobei people. So, my whip technique, which can make the enemy's skin open and blood foam flying, will surely be able to cheer up all the ladies and ladies? ”
"You...... You ...... "If you don't know that the intention of this situation is to give Xia Shuanghan a Hongmen banquet, which has been fully prepared by Xia Shuanghan a long time ago, is regarded as an excellent opportunity to show her strong force, then the Xu family is really too stupid."
"After a long time, I wanted to play with her, but Xia, a slut, used a knife directly with me. Such a who may whip you in the face at any time, how can I suppress her in the future? ”
Silently muttering to himself in his heart, thinking of his declining and broken mother's family, and Xia Jingzhi, who was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and considering his father-in-law and son's maintenance of Xia Shuanghan, Xu really realized at this time that he was not the opponent of Xia Shuanghan who fought and died.
"Xia Shuanghan is a Hu person who is not ashamed of being fierce but proud, as long as she really doesn't take me in her eyes, and I can't stand up as her future mother-in-law, then in the face of her fearless, won't I really fall to the point where I am poor and helpless?"
It is very clear that in the face of Xia Shuanghan, who has not hurt anyone at all now, and even the piano on the desk has not been damaged, so he can't talk about Xia Shuanghan who has made any mistakes at all, and he can't even find the opportunity to punish Xia Shuanghan for the reason of "deliberately hurting people".
So, "you" didn't come out of "you" for half a day, so she put down her finger that had been pointing at Xia Shuanghan when she was panting in anger.
In the entire garden, whether it was the daughters of the Lu family who came to participate in the plum banquet at the behmer's behalf, or the ladies of Beppu who were invited to the banquet, they saw Xia Shuanghan throwing the soft whip violently and abnormally, and at the same time heard her argument that the injury and bleeding were completely commonplace, even if they were frightened by Xia Shuanghan's rough and lifeless style.
Playing conspiracy, playing tricks, setting a trap and making a set of tricks that kill people without seeing blood, the women in the back house may be good at it. But once they met Xia Shuanghan, a fierce woman who met was almost equivalent to seeing blood, and they couldn't even lift a bucket, they were completely stunned and stupid at the moment.
It's not that I don't know what the ladies in this courtyard are talking about what clothes, jewelry, delicacies, and banquets are for her neighborhood, and they only feel ridiculous about their attempts to cooperate with the Xu family and the gang to isolate her and suppress her.
"From beginning to end, I think that those women who are cowering in the back house and have never seen the outside world are not all the way to me, so since the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, then I have no interest in this plum banquet at all, and I only feel that it is boring and abnormal, so I will not continue to stay here and destroy your Yaxing."
The intention of deterrence by force has been achieved, there is no need to continue to stay here, and at the same time, Xia Shuanghan, who has become a "vulgar person who must never deal with her" in the eyes of all the ladies, just bathed in the disgusting and fearful eyes of a crowd, and after saluting Xu with his fists in his fist, he turned around and strode away from the plum garden.
Xia Shuanghan can solve the problem of getting along with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law once and for all in this way that does not hurt anyone, which is a good thing in Lu Shaoyun's opinion. So, after ensuring their autonomy after marriage in the future, Lu Shaoyun's next thing to do was to continue to pursue Xia Shuanghan.
On the seventh day of November, this is the day when Lu Shaoyun invited Xia Shuanghan to go to Baixiang Mountain in the north of the capital with him to enjoy the snow together.
Considering Xia Shuanghan's chilliness in his previous life, Lu Shaoyun, who could only accompany his wife to nest at home in winter, always regretted that he did not leave some good memories with Xia Shuanghan in winter, so that he could remember him in his previous life after her death. So now, when he starts again, he says that he has to make up for the regret of his previous life.
The itinerary for this excursion is planned to last for two days and one night.
In the early morning of the first day, the two of them set off together to leave the capital, and settled in the post station in front of the White Elephant Mountain before noon, and had lunch together. In the afternoon, the two of them brought water and snacks to the mountain to enjoy the snow, and returned to the post station to rest before it got dark. The next morning, we will wander around the neighborhood again, and then return to the capital in the afternoon and return to the capital before dusk.
Wrapped tightly on his body, he climbed up the mountain side by side with Lu Shaoyun with handguards, ear guards and hats, and waited for a layer of fine beads of sweat to appear at the corner of his forehead.
"When I was young, because my mother gave birth to me, she had to be raised at home when it was cold, so no one took me out of town in the winter. Later, Chaoyang was born, because he needed someone to take care of him, and I couldn't get out of it, so I lived in the capital for nearly 17 years, but I didn't know that the scenery here was so pleasant. ”
Standing side by side with Xia Shuanghan in the observation pavilion on the top of the mountain, Lu Shaoyun, who was not looking at the magnificent snow scene but the smiling lover's red face, only felt for a while that the travel plan he had drawn up today was really correct.
A cold wind swept over, and the fluffy ear guard made of rabbit skin on Xia Shuanghan's left ear was removed, and she bent down to pick it up in a hurry, but in the end her hand was still a step slower.
"I'll pick it up for you, you wait for me here." Taking a look at the fluffy ear guards on the snow slope that fell from the guardrail of the observation pavilion to the small village at the bottom of the back mountain, Lu Shaoyun, who jumped out of the pavilion in a few steps, ran forward after the ear guards that were swept down the mountain by the wind.
His skills are far less flexible and agile than Lu Shaoyun, who has been practicing martial arts all year round, and Xia Shuanghan, who has the self-knowledge that he knows that he will never be able to catch up with him, even if he has decided to follow his instructions and obediently wait for Lu Shaoyun in the pavilion to help her pick up the ear guards.
It's just that when the time has passed for three teas, five teas, or even more, Xia Shuanghan, who was worried about how Lu Shaoyun would not come back for so long, could not continue to stay in the observation pavilion and wait quietly.
With his own bag on his back and his bag belonging to Lu Shaoyun in his hand, Xia Shuanghan walked out of the pavilion quickly, and then stepped on the snow slope, following Lu Shaoyun's footprints on the ground, looking for it all the way.
Lu Shaoyun, who was holding the fluffy ear protector that belonged to Xia Shuanghan in his hand and felt annoyed by his accident, was now in a pit with a thin neck and a large belly and a vase-shaped longitudinal section.
Along the snow slope, all the way to the direction of the downhill after chasing the ear protector who was carried forward by the wind, and Lu Shaoyun, who jumped towards the ear protector in great stride at the moment when the cold wind stopped, did not know that the snow where the ear protector was located did not seem to have any problems, but in fact it was a natural trap formed by the snow accumulation on the dead branches and leaves covering the top of the wellhead-sized hole.
Lu Shaoyun, who jumped into the snow without the slightest psychological preparation, didn't have time to bend down to pick up the ear guards on the snow, and he couldn't bear the weight of the snow, but now the dead branches that were made worse by his arrival broke off with a "click", and fell to the bottom of the pit with the snow, ear guards and Lu Shaoyun.
Lu Shaoyun, who fell into the pitch-black pit and sprained his ankle on the edge of a stone protruding from the ground at the bottom of the pit because of the force of the sudden fall, couldn't cry or laugh after groping for a long time and finding the fluffy ear guard.
"Well, the big hole with a thin neck and belly is already very difficult to climb, and now I have sprained my foot again, and I can't use my strength at all. In this case, it is now only time to wait for Frost to follow the footsteps on the ground to find me, and come to help. ”
In the pit, Lu Shaoyun, who stood up on one foot and looked up at the top of the cave, was smiling bitterly at the self-ridicule of "As a big man, why am I so useless"; Outside the pit, Xia Shuanghan, who followed the traces on the ground, called for Lu Shaoyun as he walked.
"Tingxuan, Tingxuan, Tingxuan, Tingxuan, where are you?" Take a look at the footprints on the ground to confirm the direction of travel, walk three or five feet away and then bow your head to confirm the summer frost of the footprints, while moving forward in the snow with a shallow foot, while looking around and shouting.
Anxious shouts echoed in the empty groves and snowy slopes, and Lu Shaoyun, who was looking up at the top of the cave, soon heard Xia Shuanghan's shouts getting closer and closer. "Frost, I'm down there, I'm in a hole under the ground."
"Ting Xuan ......" turned his head to look around, and faintly heard Lu Shaoyun's unclear response Xia Shuanghan, and ran up following the footprints on the snow.
Bypassing the dozen or so bare trees in front of him, Xia Shuanghan, who accidentally tripped over the curved roots of the trees protruding from the ground, was too late to stop when he looked down and saw the entrance to the pit two steps away.
So, Xia Shuanghan, who stumbled and didn't fall, but stepped into the air after two steps, just fell from the sky and smashed into the arms of Lu Shaoyun, who looked up at the entrance of the cave.
"How are you, Frost? You okay? The moment he realized that the person who fell down the hole was his lover, he stretched out his arms and tried to catch Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun, if he was not sprained, it would have been completely possible to use his skill to remove Xia Shuanghan's falling strength.
It's just that now, he can't even put on the average force on his feet, but he obviously can't show his strength. So, Xia Shuanghan, who fell, fell into Lu Shaoyun's arms like this, causing him to fall helplessly for the second time.
"I'm naturally very good to have you as a meat pad for me, but what about you?"
After completely stopping, he immediately turned over from Lu Shaoyun's body and squatted to the side, and reached out to touch the back of Lu Shaoyun's head directly, so as to confirm whether he had hit his head Xia Shuanghan said: "With the recent days when you taught me martial arts, if I don't know what level your skills are, it would be really stupid." ”
"So now you're honest with me, did you get hurt after you fell into this pothole? Otherwise, with your skills, this hole is not very deep, how could you not catch me falling from this height? ”
"......" faced Xia Shuanghan, who was as keen as ever observant, and knew that even if he lied, it didn't make any sense for Lu Shaoyun, he immediately sat up and told his lover who was squatting beside him the truth.
"I'm sure it's just the sprain on my left foot, and everything else is fine, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Lu Shaoyun's left calf, further took off his boots, and probed into his injuries Xia Shuanghan said: "You'd better not hide your injuries at will because you're afraid that I'm worried, otherwise, once I find out that you have other injuries, you can wait for three or five years before marrying me!" ”
"Don't dare, how dare I lie to you?" Lu Shaoyun, who hurriedly waved his hand, could not accept the severe punishment of "getting married in three or five years" no matter what, and then obediently cooperated with Xia Shuanghan and asked her to check his injuries.
"Although it didn't hurt the bones, it was so swollen that I couldn't move around casually today." While speaking, he groped the ground, found a smooth, no edges, palm-sized stone and gently pasted it against Lu Shaoyun's injury to talk about Xia Shuanghan, and then stood up after Lu Shaoyun took over the stone.
After his eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the pit, he walked around with the help of the little light shining through the hole, figuring out the width and depth of the pothole, as well as the summer frost of the internal environment, and quickly made the judgment that "it seems that we can only make do with spending the night here tonight".
The pit with a thin neck and a big belly was not the shape that Xia Shuanghan could climb up, and she was not tall enough and couldn't work lightly, even if Lu Shaoyun used her ten-fingered palm to make a stepping point, she couldn't successfully go up and grab the edge of the hole. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to rely on her to go up first and then find a way to get Lu Shaoyun to complete the "two people were successfully rescued".
The damp littered leaves on the floor of the pit could be used as a material for setting off wolf smoke, but even if they had a fire breaker, it was not wise to light a fire in a pit with only one vent. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to expect the people who see the wolf smoke to come to their rescue through visual signals.
Therefore, in Xia Shuanghan's opinion, there is obviously no better way to get out of trouble except to wait for one night, let Lu Shaoyun, who has been cold compressed overnight and then reduce his swelling to a large extent, step on her slap and fly up, and then find a way to get her on as well.
So, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun fell into a situation of being a lonely man and a widow, two people hugging each other and spending the night together in the cave. (To be continued.) )
