Body:

We went all the way to the northwest, and we didn't hear the news that Hu Zhenguo had begun to attack along the way, and everyone was in a relaxed mood, so we were comfortable traveling along the way. Together with Meng Xiyi, he took care of everything for me and Rulan, and we were all happy and relaxed. After walking on the road for nearly half a month, we are now very close to Anseong.

Along the way, Rulan and Ah Zhe have become brother and sister, I still remember the day I told Rulan that Ah Zhe is not Han, but Hu Zhenren, Rulan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter where the person is, the important thing is that I know that Brother Ah Zhe is a good person." ”

So, when I told Meng Xi about it with some pride, he still replied with his usual silence.

In fact, after our argument that day, we rarely talked about identity and nationality anymore. He just said that his family was a nobleman of Hu Zhenguo, he was the younger generation of the clan, supported the new lord, and his Chinese name was taken by himself, because he liked Mencius, so his surname was Meng. And the elders in the family all supported that Wan Yan Bing, and many of his ideas could not be supported by the elders, so he brought some domestic servants and came out alone to relax. I have some understanding, I still remember the feeling of suffocation after knowing the "true face" of the eldest lady that night: I feel that such a big family, although Ding Xiang really cares for me, he also has too many considerations; The third brother who really loved me was not there, and the rest of the family had too many secrets of their own, and that feeling of isolation, I just wanted to escape quickly.

And seeing Meng Xizhi's frustration and powerlessness, I seemed to see mine too, so I told him the words of persuasion: "A good man has ambitions in all directions!" If you don't come out to see, how do you know the vastness of the world and the beauty of the rivers and mountains? Not only the Central Plains, but also the continuous sand dunes around Hu Zhenguo, it is enough to make people sigh at the magnificence of nature and the insignificance of individuals! If you watch too much, you will forget about those annoying things, because ...... Because the things you are troubled about are not worth mentioning in the changes of the whole world and the rise and fall of the times, and even in your whole life, sometimes looking back, it is just a ripple. ”

That day, after I finished speaking, he stared at me for a long time, and then said, "Qing'er, I think you're also running away from someone or something, aren't you?" After a long time, he no longer referred to him as "Mu girl", but changed to "Qing'er".

Hearing him say this, my hand unconsciously reached into the pocket of my clothes, where there was a jade pendant with a lobelia engraved on it. Was it that I was running away from him? No, I can't stay at home anymore, I can't stay at home. There was a fight in my head, but I was powerless to admit: "Maybe, there are always a few people in a lifetime who want to see but dare not meet......"

So, since then, he has always been trying to know what is going on, and he heard that Rulan is not less harassed there. It's a pity that I'm tight-lipped, and Rulan actually doesn't know much, and his several attempts to inquire are all in vain, which makes him very sad.

Tonight, as we sat around the fire, he felt it was another good opportunity...... It's already November, and the farther north you go, the colder it gets. It's only November, and you already have to have a fire to fall asleep when you're out at night. Therefore, in addition to us staying in the town, as long as we are sleeping outside, it has become a compulsory course for us to chat over the fire after dinner at night.

Because it was too boring, I taught them a game that they liked to play in their previous life, "Killing Game". I changed the names of several characters as well: the judge changed to the county letter, the police became the catcher, and the killer remained the same. Because there were ten of his men, two at a time to keep two guards, and two to guard the horses that accompanied the team, and the others came with us to play. Those who lose will be penalized for drinking.

But today, Meng Xizhi's proposal is: the loser helps the winner to do one thing, of course, it can be done and not too much. Looking at the evil smile on his face when he announced the rules, I knew that the rules were coming at me. I smiled in my heart, my face was silent, and I gave a look to Rulan who dealt the cards, and as a result, I drew the county official's card as I wished.

In fact, it's no wonder that Meng Xizhi is so confident, this game is really suitable for him, his observation and analysis skills are too strong, and even a few times because of the little sound of clothes rubbing when the killer finger sitting next to him made a little bit of clothes rubbing, he was also found to be "killed". At the same time, he is quite good at acting, even if he is a killer, he can't see it at all.

I'm pretty good at playing, but every time I play against him, I'm always one step behind. However, I have been prepared for a long time, like this kind of premeditated preparation after I asked me to do things, I had to play a small trick, directly did not participate, he liked to let whoever do things.

Loneliness swept across his face, but he quickly got into the game again. This time he got the killer, but he actually helped the catcher kill another killer, and then "killed" another catcher, and in the end there were three people left, and the catcher had no doubt that he had "killed" the civilian. I was a little dumbfounded, he had guessed their identities at first, but he cut off his wings in exchange for the trust of the other party, and finally won the victory.

I was a little unconvinced and asked him why he used such a roundabout method since he knew who was the catcher in the morning.

He smiled and said: "I know who is the catcher, but I am not completely sure, after all, it is possible who is what identity is before the hole cards are revealed." And, don't you think it's fun to win like this? Let the enemy kill himself. ”

I was a little reluctant: "But, you gave up your alliance......"

"Perhaps, I don't like to have people standing with me, this game, it's enough to have a winner......" he smiled and winked at me, and continued, "Only except you......"

I also laughed and said, "A game, you have so many truths, it's really ......"

"Master, someone is riding a horse to our side, there are more than a dozen, it should be coming for us!" My words were interrupted by Ah Zhe's voice.

Meng Xizhi stood up suddenly, but immediately calmed down and began to command: "Ah Zhe, you and Ah Yun escort Qing'er and Rulan to go first, and I will stay with a few of them." ”

"No, please leave first, Ah Yun and Ah Bu escort, subordinates and others will break off, delay as much as possible, and Tuoba ...... The caravan is ten miles east of here, and it will be safe to ask the master to go there. Ah Zhe said in a deep voice, "Ah Yun, go and bring the chasing wind over, and ask the master to get on the horse!" ”

Soon, Ah Yun pulled out a red horse that was slightly taller than the other horses from the horse team, and Ah Zhe pushed Meng Xizhi to the horse without saying anything, knelt on the ground, and said, "Please master get on the horse, and the subordinates will catch up." ”

Meng Xizhi didn't refuse, turned over on the horse, and stretched out his hand to me: "This horse is running very fast, you ride with me." ”

I haven't come back to my senses for a while, why are everyone's expressions so solemn, could it be that he has some feud or something?

He saw that I didn't answer, nor did he stretch out his hand, and said hurriedly: "We have to go quickly, otherwise it will only drag Ah Zhe and them." At the same time, he turned his head to Ah Bu and said, "Ah Bu, you ride with Rulan." ”

He stretched out his hand to me again, but I unconsciously took a half step back and said, "Who are you, why would someone deal with you, and it was in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

His face changed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were shining, but his voice was unusually soft: "We are people of the same clan, and they must covet my family's property." It's too late today, I'll tell you more when I have time, and now you get on the horse first! ”

I muttered, "I can ride a horse by myself......"

He raised his eyebrows, leaned down, grabbed my hand forward, dragged me onto my horse, and sat down in front of him. I was about to struggle down, he whispered in my ear: "If there is anything we have to say as we walk, the situation is critical now, I have caused you to be a burden, and you have to give me a chance to make up for it!" You are not fast at all when you ride a horse yourself, you know in your heart, even if you are not afraid of your own danger, you don't want Rulan to stand under the dangerous wall with you, right? ”

I looked up at Rulan, who was also standing still, staring at me with an inquiring gaze. I remembered Meng Xizhi's words, so I had to nod at her. Her face changed, then she bit her lips and stood for a moment before handing her hand to Abu. The moment he got on the horse, he turned his head and shouted to Ah Zhe, who was in the cloth: "Brother Ah Zhe, you must be careful, we are waiting for you in front!" ”

Ah Zhe looked up at her, with a gentle look in his eyes, he smiled slightly, nodded, and said the word "rest assured" in his mouth. Rulan smiled at him, but tears flowed from her eyes.

Meng Xizhi said loudly: "Go! "As soon as he pulled the rope, he shot out of the wind, and in a blink of an eye, he had run out of 100 meters. Without the reflection of the fire, it was suddenly pitch black, and only the sound of chasing the wind and the hooves of the two horses behind and the wind whistling in his ears could be heard.

Meng Xizhi didn't speak behind my back, just held the rope with one hand and wrapped the other around my waist. My nerves have been at a high level of tension, and now this moment is very similar to that night, Ling Yun also took me on horseback to escape from the pursuit of the eldest aunt and eldest sister, although I didn't know it at the time, but now that I think about it, Meng Xizhi's family should not be simple.

After galloping eastward for a quarter of an hour, Meng Xizhi suddenly turned and headed west. I was puzzled and asked, "Are you on the wrong track?" Ah Zhe is saying that there is a caravan ten miles to the east! ”

Meng Xizhi tightened his hand on my waist and whispered, "Don't trust anyone easily, anyone can betray you. ”

I don't know if it was because the night breeze was cold, or if his tone was too cold, I shivered violently. Meng Xizhi seemed to feel it, pulled the cloak behind him in front of me, and asked, "Is it cold?" ”

I automatically ignored his question and asked, "Can't even Ah Zhe believe it?" Isn't he the person you trust the most? ”

His voice was a little indifferent: "Even if it's not Ah Zhe, it may be someone else." All those who are left know that we are going ten miles to the east, and anyone can betray me, and I cannot take this risk. "I couldn't agree with it, so I kept silent. Seeing that I was no longer talking, he knew that I had my own thoughts, so he sighed and said, "If you have ever been deceived and betrayed by someone close to you, you will understand my thoughts." ”

"I know we have different positions, but that doesn't stop me...... I like you. ”

"I have to promise you a third thing, I, I will never fail you!"

"He said he liked me, so I told him as a joke!"

"Listen up, your life." No need to educate, power over the world'! ”

"Ding Muqing, that little slut, she won't die, you will never be able to support Yun'er."

Suddenly, I seemed to see the white-robed Yulang in the peach blossom forest smiling at me again, his hand reached out to me, making me unconsciously want to hold it, but in a blink of an eye, it seemed to be Ding Muyan feeling sorry for himself and then laughing wildly, and there was a lady next to me pointing at me viciously. For so long, all the things that I had been reluctant to recall, under his prompting, did not listen to my command, and all poured into my mind, as if they had happened in the last moment, so clearly......

Tears poured out like an embankment, and the wound in my heart seemed to be torn open again, and the cold wind went straight to the bottom of my heart from that opening. Such a pain that I couldn't breathe made me suddenly understand Meng Xizhi very well, maybe it was this pain that made him have such an awareness.

I sniffed hard, didn't speak again, and let Meng Xizhi lead me forward.
