Chapter 108: Late Heaven Wants Snow
This rain, it rained all day.
Until the evening, the rain still did not stop, in the winter wind, not big, not small, but quiet, like a ghost in the night.
Xie Xiaoman pushed the window open a small crack, feeling the cold air blowing outside, and the occasional fine rain that would blow on his hands, he felt a little quiet in his heart, so he sighed with satisfaction.
There are a lot of things that happened today, and some of them were unexpected, but fortunately, the things in the back are not bad, and she has mixed into Hukou Town according to her own plans, and if she makes proper arrangements in the future, she should be able to get close to the head of Zhao Jun.
As for what Xie Xiaoman wanted to do, even she didn't know very well. It's just that he had a vague idea in his heart, and after being left behind by Huan Wen with such cruel words, he didn't have the idea of staying in the Jin army camp anymore, so he simply borrowed Xing Ge's understanding of Zhao Guo to sneak in first. As for what happened after that...... Let's talk about it later!
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoman sighed.
The head of the Yan family just met, he was an ordinary old man, and he doted on the old man's baby son very excessively, but according to Xie Xiaoman's eyes, it was not much different from the parents' love for the only child after a thousand years, and it was not completely incompetent.
However, although the head of the Yan family loves his son so much, he is also a general knowledge. After Xie Xiaoman was introduced by Tai Ping, the head of the Yan family heard about Xie Xiaoman's identity, and he couldn't help but be extremely respectful, and immediately ordered the people to sweep out of the West Chamber, and let Xie Xiaoman and Xing Ge live in.
Xing Ge knew Tai Ping's relationship with the army. After thinking about it for a while, he asked Tai Ping to bring a message to the army and "explain" his previous experience. On the grounds that "Xie Niangzi is not familiar with life here", she stayed with Xie Xiaoman.
Xie Xiaoman was naturally very grateful for this, she knew that she had done something wrong before. Whether it was almost destroying the plan of the Jin army and Yan Jun, or aiming at Xing Ge's future, she did something self-righteously, and also directed the actual situation in a bad direction.
Xie Xiaoman's temperament is not very good, but she has a good side. It is that he will never fail to admit his failures and mistakes. If there is a mistake, it will be corrected, and if it can't be changed, find a way to remedy it, what she is doing now. That's the kind of thing.
The tea on the desk was already a little cold, Xie Xiaoman felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he didn't have any intention of making the moon mean.
She looked at the night rain outside, which was gradually getting cooler and lighter, and the white haze between her mouth and nose. I thought that tomorrow would be the beginning of winter. I don't know if this rain will turn into a snowy patch.
"Ahh
Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard an abrupt sneeze behind him. Xie Xiaoman remembered that he was not alone in the house, so he hurriedly lowered the window and closed it tightly, and looked back at Xing Ge apologetically.
"Hehe, I'm really sorry, it's not frozen, is it?" Xie Xiaoman laughed and scratched his head.
"No, my old man. Not afraid of freezing. It's just that the cold wind has poured into the nose, and it's just a little itchy. Xing Ge laughed awkwardly.
And then. There was a brief silence between the two.
Sincerely, the relationship between Xie Xiaoman and Xing Ge is very complicated. Six hours ago, Xing Ge wanted to kill Xie Xiaoman's enemy, and Xie Xiaoman spared his life. After that, Xing Ge was a prisoner of war and Xie Xiaoman was the victor. Later, Xie Xiaoman took Xing Ge out of the Jin army's barracks, which can be said to have saved his life again in disguise......
Of course, that's not all. Xie Xiaoman confided in him again, and after the two finished a long sigh, Xie Xiaoman suddenly found that he had become the culprit of Xing Ge's tragic life in the future, so he planned to make up for something. And now, Xing Ge has become an indispensable part of Xie Xiaoman's plan, if it weren't for his previous behavior, Xie Xiaoman would still be drinking the northwest wind outside Hukou Town, where would he get to the Tai Ordinary and Yan family, and where would he continue to plan for the next step.
All of this is very complicated, but it happened in one day, and this encounter had to make the two of them think about it calmly.
Xie Xiaoman listened to the clattering sound of the north wind occasionally blowing on the window lattice, and couldn't help but be the first to speak: "Today's incident is also a coincidence, and I was thinking about finding a way to enter Hukou Town first, and then looking for an opportunity to visit Mr. Tai, but I didn't expect to meet him outside." ”
"Yes. Xie Niangzi has good luck, as the so-called car must have a road before the mountain. Xing Ge responded, but no matter how he listened to it, there was a smell of coping.
Xie Xiaoman was silent for a moment and spoke: "Xing Ge, will you hate me very much?" ”
"What do you hate?" This time, Xing Ge was stunned.
"If it weren't for me, your squad would have killed the scouts by now and made a military exploit. You can be added to the knighthood, right? ”
Xing Ge was almost happy when he heard this: "How can there be such a good thing? ”
"If you have military merits, you won't be added to the rank of knight?"
"That's all for people with heads and faces, what does it have to do with small soldiers like us? Being a centurion is already the limit. ”
"And what is your official position? What's long? ”
"Yes."
"Then you don't want to be a centurion?"
Xing Ge was silent for a moment: "What's the difference?" It's all about killing or being killed anyway. To die or not to die, it's just a sentence from Shangfeng, centurions, chiefs, and small soldiers are actually all existences that work hard for people. ”
"Nobody likes to be a soldier, does they?"
"Except for the children of the family who can mix military merits in the army and can seek a career when they go back, as far as I know from so many years in the army, there should be none."
"That'...... What do you most want to do? ”
"Let's go home." Xing Ge laughed self-deprecatingly, "But it's unlikely in this life." ”
Xie Xiaoman didn't speak for a long time.
"Xing Ge, where is your home?"
"A small village next to Luoyang is not a famous place, but the place is really good, surrounded by mountains and rivers." Speaking of his hometown, Xing Ge's face had a strange light.
Xie Xiaoman could see that he was just coping with a few words at first, but then he seemed to be stuck in something, and his face was shrouded in a faint and gentle bright color, as if he was looking at the most beloved woman in his life.
Xing Ge fell into his thoughts and stopped talking. Xie Xiaoman also turned off his breath and didn't bother him.
Looking at his appearance, Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but miss his hometown. It is not the high-walled and deep house in Huiji City, nor the rich deep courtyard of Wuyi Lane, but the simple place a thousand years later, the narrow, simple, but full of warmth of the small house. Even if it was just a table lamp at the corner of the table at that time, when I think about it now, it has a trace of indelible warmth.
Xing Ge was the first to come back to his senses, and accidentally saw the expression full of distant thoughts on Xie Xiaoman's face, and somehow, a string in his heart was plucked fiercely, like a heart-warming fist, right in the center.
It turns out that such a person can also exude such a vulnerable expression. Xing Ge thought like this, and a man's natural desire to protect was almost aroused.
"Ahh I'm sorry! Something out of mind. The oil lamp next to him burst into an oil flower, pulling Xie Xiaoman's thoughts back. She smiled and rubbed her head, and said with a smile, "Xing Ge, I will try my best to help you." ”
"Huh? What the? Xing Ge was stunned.
"If you want to go home, I will try to make it come true for you." Xie Xiaoman's eyes were shining, "Although I don't know if it can be done or not, and how long it will take, I, Xie Xiaoman, will do my best." ”
Xing Ge was stunned for a moment, completely at a loss.
Xie Xiaoman looked at his expression and felt a little funny, so he laughed easily: "You don't have to feel anything, I just want to end this overwhelming war, as for your dream of going home...... If the war is over, you can go home, can't you? ”
Xing Ge nodded subconsciously, and his face subconsciously revealed complex emotions.
"I know it sounds unbelievable and self-aware." Xie Xiaoman stood up, "I'm a person, I don't have any ability, and I don't have any scheming or anything like that." So, the previous idea was always simple. In this kind of troubled world, live a simple and chic life, do whatever you want, cultivate immortals if you want to cultivate immortals, copy some poems for money if you want to exchange money, marry whoever you want, and that's it.
"I'm a tired guy who doesn't have a big mind and courage, let alone the ability and courage to set the country. It's my long-cherished wish to live a good life, but in fact, it turns out that this long-cherished wish is always difficult to achieve. I don't look for trouble, but trouble tends to come to me. ”
Whether it is brought by his life experience, brought by Guo Pu, or brought by himself, it is something that he cannot avoid and cannot avoid. She originally retained a mood of escaping, but now, there is Xia Hua eyeing her on the side of the couch, and there are people and rivers around her. Even if he is as lazy as Xie Xiaoman, how can he pretend that nothing has happened?
"Morally, I'm not a good person, but a lot of times, I know that I don't see anything, I don't like to see anything."
Xie Xiaoman smiled, looking a little pale.
"When I was in Jiangzuo, in fact, the troubled times were very far away from me, what wars, blood flowing, starvation everywhere, and they were all things in books, limited to words and imagination, there was really nothing worthy of my attention."
"But in the past few days, I've seen something, experienced something, and my mind has changed a little."
"I know I'm ignorant and incompetent, but after all, there are powers that ordinary people don't have. Even Mr. Tai can refine pills to cure diseases and save people, I thank Xiaoman, I should always do something. ”
"Letting the war stop may sound like a joke that is too rampant, too impossible. But somebody has to give it a try, right? ”
Xie Xiaoman looked at Xing Ge with a smile, and looked at the latter's dazed face with shock, and couldn't help but smile even more happily. (To be continued......)
