――――――――
When night falls, the bright moon hangs high, the wilderness is exposed, and the cold air gradually develops. After the group had gathered in a meadow, they set up small tents, sat around each other, and lit a fire by the river. The bonfire was gently swayed by the wind in the night, the flames danced in the wind, and the fiery red light reflected on everyone's faces, and each other's silhouettes flickered and dimmed under the shadow of the fire, vague and illusory.
Yuming's external temperament is rough, but in fact, she is delicate in her heart, she was entrusted by her wife to come here, so she also brought enough coils and food. The two of them naturally suffered a lot on the way, but they finally chased them all the way and found the person they were looking for. She expected that their journey would be difficult, so she bought a lot of things before meeting them, and after settling down at this moment, she and Sister-in-law Liu took a few bags from their horses, which contained all kinds of dry food, and gave them all to everyone one by one.
Everyone took the food, and the shock and dissatisfaction during the day also dropped a lot. Huang Jiang thought that since they could get here safely, they would probably not cause them any trouble, so they were silent and silently ate what they were doing.
Sister-in-law Liu is like when she was at home, she is busy before and after, either cooking for everyone or taking care of resting things, and she can't stop for a moment. It's strange to think that her illness did not improve when she was at home, but after a few days of running, she did not recur, and she is radiant at the moment. Yuming and Tang Guxi both sighed secretly and sighed.
Although Liu Wugang was full of complaints and was extremely dissatisfied with Ling Niang's sudden appearance, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to say anything more. Liu Wugang sat in a corner of the tent, recalling his past time of smoke and willows, he felt empty, although he was hungry and sleeping in the open, but he felt the steadiness of his heart like never before.
He chewed a weed at the corner of his mouth, squinted at Ling Niang's figure coming in and out, and sighed in his heart: "After this trip north, I will earn some silver taels and come back, and I will live a peaceful life at home in the future." Whether he is poor or rich, he no longer complains. ”
Lin Luo and Lin Xun sat next to the bonfire, looking at Tang Guxi and Yuming who were standing by the river and talking, and their worries couldn't help but get a lot worse. After Lin Xun glanced at it a few times, he asked Lin Luo in a low voice: "Do you think she will go back this time?" ”
Lin Luo's eyes lit up and dimmed under the bonfire, turning into bewitching stars in the night, and she shook her head slowly, "I don't know." ”
"This time it's our mistake," Lin Xun sighed and said, "I never expected that Mrs. Tang would come up with such a plan, and once this method is used, we will have no choice." After a pause, he added, "She didn't hesitate to marry her daughter to one person, regardless of her wishes, just to keep her in Linqing." But once a woman gets married, she doesn't have a few opportunities to see her father, so why does she stubbornly obstruct us like this? ”
"It's not a few opportunities to see my parents." Lin Luo said, "But she also knows that once we take her away, it will be a choice that will never be seen, not to mention, we don't dare to guarantee whether she will be safe and sound after returning to Xizhou." Rather than not knowing life and death, it is better to be tied to himself, and besides, the son of the Hou Mansion is not far behind. ”
The more Lin Xun thought about it, the more anxious he became, he thought that this was a dead end, but seeing Lin Luo's expression, he was not panicked, so he asked, "Sister, do you have any ideas?" He looked at her earnestly, waiting for an answer.
Lin Luo moved her gaze to the bonfire, staring at the blood-red beating flames, as if she could see something from it, and after a long time, she said slowly: "It's really not good, then you can only use this to make a plan......
"You mean......" Lin Xun's eyes lit up and he leaned his ear over.
Not far from the river, the light of the bonfire did not touch here, so it was still cool and dark. Tang Guxi and Yuming were happy for a while after they met, and now they chatted by the river for a long time, telling their respective experiences in the past few days. After saying that, the two returned to the topic.
"Miss, no matter what, you must go back this time."
"Let me jump into that fire pit, I will not obey, Madame sent you here to persuade me, are you not afraid of failure?" Tang Guxi asked, then looked at Yu Ming, looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, "Yu Ming, are you hiding something from me?" ”
Yuming didn't look at her, her eyes were in a trance, she looked at the dark river in front of her, and shook her head.
Tang Guxi was even more sure of the doubts in his heart: "Needless to say, the person who knows me best in the family must be you." Do you know that I will never go back just by listening to what you say, so what are you going to do? That lady...... Sending you over? ”
Yuming bit her lip, her eyebrows and eyes furrowed slightly, but she still didn't speak.
There was a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, in the past, Yuming would never hide anything from her, but now she was so distracted. Feeling uneasy, she looked around alertly, turned back and asked, "Is there anyone else coming?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Ming's body suddenly trembled, and she almost fell, she flashed her eyes twice, and looked at Tang Guxi, "Miss......"
"Is it Gongsun Rong?"
"It's not."
"Who is that...... Tang Guxi lowered his eyes and thought about it, and muttered, "It won't be Brother Bingfeng, he is sick in bed, let alone riding a horse, he may not be able to go far when he goes out." ”
"Miss, don't guess." Yu Ming said, "Since I came this time, I am determined to take Miss back." Miss doesn't know, Chen Gongzi and Chen Gongzi have been ...... these days."
"What's wrong with Brother Bingfeng?" Tang Guxi was flustered and hurriedly asked.
"Chen Gongzi had a severe attack, and when I heard Mr. Zou, I was afraid that it would be fulfilled...... That's a three-year limit! Yu Ming said, bringing out the crying tone, and the circles under her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, giving Tang Guxi a heavy blow, her face was pale and stunned in place, her body was as stiff as a bluestone, and the four words kept whistling in her ears: three-year limit, three-year limit......
She thought that Brother Bingfeng would be able to survive the three-year limit, as long as he survived, he would be saved in the future! But once you can't get through it, it's certain death!
"Yes...... But it's not yet three years, and winter hasn't come yet, so how can the condition worsen? Tang Guxi said, as if he had lost consciousness, and tears were falling in his eyes.
"Miss, this time, Yuming came here with selfish intentions." Yu Ming wiped her tears, and continued, "Madame, Master asked me to come over for Gongsun Rong's business, and the reason why Yu Ming came in a hurry is also to let Miss go back...... Go and see Chen Gongzi more, what if, if you go to see him, Chen Gongzi's illness will be better? ”
Tang Guxi closed his eyes and let the tears slide down. She was sad in her heart, thinking of the days when she practiced martial arts with Brother Bingfeng for many years, the days when the two of them frolicked and played when they were young, and now that they are estranged, one has been lying on the sickbed for a long time and the other is waiting to marry the Hou Mansion, she can't help but feel sad and bitter.
Looking up, the surrounding darkness is like ink, the moon in the sky is like a hook, and there are few stars. Only the faint glow of the bonfire not far behind it, shining in the water dots and stars, seemed even more desolate and cold at this time. Xu is that there are many things that have happened in the past two days, so that she can't respond, and Xu is that Lin Luo and Lin Xun's attitude has changed, everything is unexpected by her, and everything makes her overwhelmed.
Yuming didn't persuade her, and waited for her to calm down after crying, and the two sat down on the stones on the side before they spoke again: "Does Miss know who else came with us?" ”
Tang Guxi was stunned and looked at her seriously, "Is there really someone else coming?" Who is it and where is it now? ”
"Miss don't worry, he's not here now, he's resting in an inn at the bottom of the mountain, and we'll see him when we get back to the inn tomorrow after we've packed up."
"Who the hell is it?"
"Yes......" Yu Ming's voice was slow and calm, "It's Master." ”
"Ah, what!" Tang Guxi was startled and immediately got up, "Master is here?" ”
Yu Ming hurriedly looked behind her, dragged her down, sat back on the stone, and said softly, "Miss, you be quiet." It was the Master who came, right down the mountain. ”
Although Tang Guxi's voice was not loud, it was still heard by the people behind, and Huang Jiang was not interested in it, so he didn't care. It's just that Lin Luo and Lin Xun were shocked in their hearts, raised their eyes and looked at each other, and Lin Xun sighed: "It seems that Tang's mother has made up her mind, and she must promote this family business." ”
Lin Luo looked straight at the two people by the river, she didn't think so in her heart, she heard Tang Guxi and Liu Wugang talk about many things about her master, Mr. Zou Li, although she hadn't seen him, but she had a general understanding of this old man. Now it is unbelievable to hear that this respectable gentleman has also followed.
Could it be that he came with other intentions?
"This ...... How is this possible! "After Tang Guxi was pulled down by Yu Ming, she still couldn't believe it, Yu Ming brought too much news, and after she experienced a fright, joy and sorrow in this day, she would be surprised." Master is old and has been in retreat for many years, how could he have traveled so far? ”
"Miss has to believe it if you don't believe it, Master is indeed here."
"Then what about Brother Bingfeng, can Fang Yue take care of him alone?"
"Chen Gongzi is sick, not crazy. Fang Yue had taken care of him for many years, and with a doctor by his side, it was naturally no problem. ”
Tang Guxi exhaled, "Then tell me, did Daddy force Master over?" A trace of worry arose in her heart, "If that's the case, then Daddy is too much!" ”
Yu Ming sighed lightly and smiled: "Miss doesn't want to think about it, if Master doesn't want to come, who can invite it?" ”
Tang Guxi was in a trance for a moment, nodded slowly, and gradually became clear in his heart, "Yes, Daddy can't force Master...... According to what you said, Master came here of his own free will? Why? Just to get me back? I don't believe it. ”
"I don't know much about this Yu Ming, in short, after the master learned that you followed two people from other countries to 'practice martial arts', he seemed to be a little uneasy, so he responded to the master's request and came with us."
When Tang Guxi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and said, "Could it be that Master was angry when he heard that I was learning martial arts from others?" After that, he shook his head again and denied, "No, no, no, it's definitely not for this reason......"
At this time, the clouds in the sky obscured the moon, the starlight dimmed, the dew on the ground became heavier, and the bonfire not far away was also extinguished, and it was still glowing with a little fire. The two of them chatted for a while, and could not help but feel sleepy, so they got up and went to the tent, and hid in it to rest.
When she passed by the campfire, she noticed that Lin Luo and Lin Xun had already left, and she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when she remembered that she had fallen off the carriage today. She went into the tent and noticed that Lin Luo had fallen asleep in the corner, so she didn't say much, and soon fell asleep after lying down.
