"What's going on?"

When Xie Xuan saw the chain on Xie Xiaoman's arm, he was shocked, and his face changed abruptly.

A child of thirteen or fourteen looks serious and is originally interesting, but now there is a bit of anger and responsibility in the seriousness, which looks more fun and makes people have the urge to tease.

"General Huan! Although our Chenjun Xie clan is not as powerful as the Wang family, it is also a well-dressed family and a poetic heirloom after all! As the saying goes, you can't punish the doctor! Even if my sister has something wrong in the past, is it inappropriate to be treated like this by the general now? Please also ask General Huan to release Sister Ah quickly, otherwise, even if you don't have the identity of our Xie family, a character like General Huan treats a weak woman like this, and if this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will also damage General Huan's reputation!"

After saying something, Xie Xuan said it seriously and loudly.

Xie Xiaoman looked at the child in front of him, not to mention that the whole childishness on his face had not been taken off, and even the baby fat had not had time to dissipate.

Xie Xiaoman only felt cute, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pinch his little face now, but he was still restrained, so he had to squeeze his eyes at him.

smiled smugly again, and said to Huan Wen: "See?" Our family's Zhilan Yushu has spoken, why don't you loosen it quickly? ”

Huan Wen also found it interesting, but a young and old child like Xie Xuan, he had seen some of them when he interacted with people in the court, so he was not as fresh as Xie Xiaoman.

Just listening to Xie Xuan's words, Huan Wen couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Pointing at Xie Xiaoman, he asked Xie Xuan: "You really don't know your sister, the character who can scare Zhao Jun to abandon the battle and flee with a wave of his hand is more powerful than ten men." Where is a weak woman? ”

Xie Xuan didn't know the allusion in Huan Wen's words, so he blinked his eyes as if he didn't understand and glanced at Xie Xiaoman.

"Anyway, I'm going to take Sister A back, and I ask General Huan to release her." Xie Xuanzheng looked at Huan Wen and bowed slightly, showing a bit of dignified demeanor.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Huan Wen's eyes. He smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry, I originally called you, of course I won't keep anyone else." As a matter of fact. I can only send this breath after you take her away! ”

Xie Xuan didn't know why, and quietly judged the situation.

"General Huan!" Xue Zicheng walked in at this time and slammed Huan Wen to the ground first. Another half step back. After looking at Xie Xuan for a long time, he smiled and arched his hand: "This is Xie Youdu of the Xie family's Yushu, right?" Sure enough, he is a young talent with an extraordinary demeanor. ”

Xie Xuan has heard a lot of similar words since he was a child, but he will not blush because of such polite words, but he is elegant and polite, and his behavior is pleasant.

"This is Lord Xue, General Huan's right-hand man." Xie Xiaoman introduced Xie Xuan.

"It turned out to be Lord Xue. I have admired the name for a long time!" Xie Xuan politely saluted Xue Zicheng, and he didn't know if it was really a long admiration. Still never heard of it.

Xue Zicheng returned the salute and immediately looked at Huan Wen with an inquiring gaze.

Huan Wen said Xie Xuan's intention to come here, and pointed at Xie Xiaoman with a smile: "So, this matter has to be bothered by Zi Cheng to run errands, help Youdu together, and send Xie Xianshi back." ”

Xie Xiaoman felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and his eyebrows raised: "Huan Wen, what do you mean by this?" When I go home with my own brother, will I still need to be escorted? ”

Huan Wen said with a smile: "After all, this place is outside the border, and now the border in Jiangbei is chaotic, who knows if there will be any bandits or the like?" After all, Miss Xie is the blood and blood of the Xie family, we should pay attention to it and send someone to escort it. ”

Xue Zicheng naturally understood Huan Wen's intentions, and at this time he also echoed: "Yes, Miss Xie, this is also General Huan's kindness, why should you refuse." ”

Xie Xuan himself felt that this was an indifferent matter, but it was dispensable. It's just obvious that Xie Xiaoman's opposition comes, although he doesn't know why.

But he didn't say anything. First, the purpose of his coming here was to take Sister Xiaoman home at the behest of Uncle An Shi, and the others were not within his jurisdiction. Second, he does not have any friendship with Xie Xiaoman, although he has heard people mention it a few times before, after all, one is a descendant and the other is a side branch, although the blood of the Xie family flows together, but after all, it is separated by a layer. Besides, Xie Xuan is now in a situation that he can't see clearly, and with his temperament, he will not speak rashly and add to the incident.

As for Huan Wen and Xue Zicheng, they have already been "embarrassed" and "colluded", upholding an unswerving goal, ready to invite Xie Xiaoman, the big Buddha, away quickly, and the rest is uncomfortable here.

Let Xue Zicheng follow the "protection along the way", to put it bluntly, let him "escort", so that once no one takes care of him, Xie Xiaoman will run out by himself and make Huan Wen stumble.

Therefore, the two of you and I are talking about the "eyebrows and eyebrows", Xie Xiaoman is very unhappy to watch.

Xie Xiaoman was a little angry, she glanced at Xie Xuan, and covered up: "I said that I won't go to Zhao Kingdom, but I won't go!" What are you worried about! Although I, Xie Xiaoman, am a woman, I also know what it means to be a promise! ”

Xie Xuan didn't know why, and continued to blink.

"That's right, that's right, I'm just escorting along the way, just for the sake of the safety of the two." Xue Zicheng replied with a smile, "Since Miss Xie has no plans to go west, why should she be afraid of my escort?" ”

Xie Xiaoman stopped talking, looked at Xue Zicheng, then at Huan Wen, and sneered.

……

……

From dawn to dusk.

From dawn to mist.

Every day, every day, is actually a simple cycle.

Liu Chuan pushed open the window on the third floor of Yuetian Pavilion, looked at the snow outside that still did not stop, and sighed softly.

How many years have passed since such days?

Is it two hundred years or three hundred years? Or, more? He couldn't remember it at all.

Yanagawa still remembers how he used to be, when he was just a small sapling by the lake's embankment, planted by a mother leading a child.

It was a warm time of the wind.

The place in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed very suitable for the survival of this kind of life.

Since then, for many, many years, Yanagawa has been "watching" the child's growth.

At that time, Yanagawa could not "see" things, but he could feel a lot, for example, the child's delicate hand touching his body, the child leaning on himself and playing the flute, holding his own tree trunk and comparing his height with himself.

At that time, Yanagawa waited for the arrival of the child every day. Sometimes, the child would naturally say something to himself, but Yanagawa didn't understand, but he thought that the vibration of the scale was very beautiful, so he would echo and shake the wicker.

Other times, the child will play something. Yanagawa didn't know what it was, and he couldn't hear it, but he could feel the vibration of the rhythm, and it was as comfortable as a warm spring breeze.

Many years later, Yanagawa already had a human form, when he walked in the world. It only then learned that it was called the bamboo flute.

In spring, the lake will be sparkling, reflecting a trace of sunlight and shining on the body, making it tickle.

The birds chirp and chirp around them. Sometimes, more than 20 birds gather at it. The birds sang to it, and it swayed with ten thousand strands of silk hanging in the air, causing a burst of joy.

Yanagawa loved those days.

Although the winter will be a little difficult, the lake will freeze. But under the ice, there is still a warmth that can't be cleaned, and I slowly absorb it with the roots of the tree, and I fall asleep comfortably.

When you sleep like this, it's winter.

Every winter, Yanagawa wakes up in a hurry. Because it also wanted to see the child, to hear his voice.

This cycle of spring and summer lasted for many, many years, but it also came to an abrupt end after a certain winter.

Since then, Yanagawa has never felt the breath of that child, and he doesn't know what happened.

Yanagawa waited a long time.

For a long time.

until the lake dries up.

until the fields around him are full of fertile fields.

Until the soil around him was suddenly irrigated with blood.

Until the surrounding area slowly built thousands of mansions.

It didn't quite understand what was going on around it, but after many, many years had passed, it finally understood that it could no longer wait for that breath.

So Yanagawa was sad.

It's sad.

It doesn't know what to do.

What else can be done besides occasionally listening to the birds singing to themselves.

Until one day, the birds brought news that the people of the village were going to cut down the willow tree because it was hindering the construction of the fertile fields.

Yanagawa was sad and helpless.

Because it can't do anything.

It's just a tree.

A tree that has stood here for many, many years, but it can't do anything.

People have marked it and are ready to cut it down tomorrow.

It had listened to people for so long that by now it could understand them.

Many times, Yanagawa also complains about his stupidity. If I had understood earlier, wouldn't I have been able to understand the child's words?

But regret is useless after all, not to mention, now I am also beginning to face death.

Over the years, it has witnessed many, many deaths.

Humans, birds and beasts, and the grass and trees that are old and withered under their feet.

So Yanagawa didn't have much fear.

It is not afraid of death.

It's just that it doesn't like the pain of being cut down.

In particular, Yanagawa did not understand. Obviously, he got his life because of the cultivation of human beings, why do human beings want to plunder their own lives.

So, that night, Yanagawa made a decision.

It's going to run away. (To be continued......)
