Chapter 12 Xiao Zichen
Night, not bright, slightly cool.
Li Wanwan gently pushed the door, only to see Chen Yichen sleeping in front of the table, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. Gently patted him on the shoulder, intending to wake him up and go to his room to rest. saw Chen Yichen shake it slightly, changed his position, and continued to sleep soundly on the table.
Seeing this, Li Wanwan sat at the table, holding her chin and looking at her beloved. I vaguely heard someone whispering, and I was shocked, and I heard the voice. Suddenly I realized that there was an injured person lying on the bed.
"Water..."
Hearing the wounded man's whispering, Li Wanwan poured a glass of water in a panic and walked quickly to the bed. Half-crouched on the ground, he turned his head slightly, and brought the cup to his chapped lips.
The water in the cup was drunk by him, and then he opened his eyes slightly, looking at the woman in front of him in confusion, and time seemed to freeze. After a long time, I heard him say slowly: "I, am I dead? You, are you a fairy?"
Li Wanwan was stunned, laughed loudly, and said, "You are not dead, you are just injured." It was Brother Chen who carried you from a long way to Mocheng. While speaking, Li Wanwan wiped the water marks at the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf and continued: "Are you better?"
"Good. The injured person on the bed remained motionless, staring intently at the person in front of him, and answered completely subconsciously.
"Do you still feel pain from the wound?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange noise in his abdomen, and continued, "Are you a little hungry?" ”
After serving the porridge that had already been prepared on the table, Li Wanwan returned to the side of the bed again, slowly helped him up, and sat at the head of the bed. Pick up the porridge bowl, scoop a spoonful, and bring it to your mouth.
"Who are you?" A bowl of porridge went down, and the injured person gradually came back to his senses, looking at the girl in front of him, her face was like white jade, her facial features were exquisite, and although she was wearing coarse clothes, it was still difficult to hide her handsome beauty.
"My name is Li Wanwan. Speaking of this, Li Wanwan picked up the handkerchief again and gently wiped the corners of his mouth for him. He said, "Are you feeling better now? You've been in a coma for a long time, how do you feel?" ”
Hearing Li Wanwan's continuous questioning, I felt some pain in my back, but it was bearable. raised his arms and clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Li Wanwan: "Thank you girl for saving her life." ”
"Oops, I almost forgot. Li Wanwan suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the table, shook Chen Yichen's shoulder, and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, that person is awake." ”
"Huh?" Chen Yichen, who was drowsy, slowly raised his head, looked around, and saw the person sitting on the bed. The consciousness gradually became clear, and he got up and wanted to pass, but the person just stood up, and after taking two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground.
"Brother Chen. What happened to you. Li Wanwan panicked and wanted to grab Chen Yichen, but the action was still a little late.
"Don't touch me. Chen Yichen waved his hand, and Li Wanwan was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and heard him grit his teeth and say, "It's okay, my legs are numb." ”
Moving the chair, Chen Yichen sat in front of the bed, gently holding his leg with one hand. Glancing at the person on the bed, his complexion was obviously much better. He raised his hand and pointed at him, saying, "Well, how are the injuries on your body?"
"It's okay, it's a lot better at this time, thank you two for saving your life. The wounded man clenched his fists again and said, "I heard this girl say that it was Gongzi who carried me back from outside the city, and then I picked up my next life." ”
"Ahh It's not a big deal, it was meant to throw you in the grass. Later, I saw that you still had a breath, so I decided to save you. Chen Yichen told the truth what had happened.
"Childe is also honest, and he must also be a man of temperament. The injured man sighed and continued: "Now that the border is in turmoil, if others are afraid to avoid it, but Gongzi tries his best to save him, so that he is moved, and the grace of saving his life will be rewarded." ”
"No, no. Chen Yichen waved his hand again and again, he didn't think about repaying the favor, he directly rejected the other party, and said: "It was an accident to save you, and I never thought that I would definitely save you. ”
"Huh?" Hearing Chen Yichen's words, the injured person was stunned, quickly reacted, and then said: "Ah, the son is honest and honest, but he is also happy, if he continues to say thank you, it will seem to be outdone." ”
"You don't need to mind, Brother Chen is kind-hearted, and he really didn't think much about it when he saved you. Li Wanwan interjected from time to time: "The son's life is big, and the doctor said that the wound is not enough to be fatal." ”
"By the way, who are you? Why were you killed in the wild?" Chen Yichen had long been curious about what happened to this person, but now that he had woken up, he wanted to solve the mystery in his heart.
"Alas. I only heard him sigh and say, "Where the two of you saved me, are there still more than a dozen people present?" ”
Chen Yichen nodded and said, "Yes, who are they? ”
"That's what I thought about. After a moment's silence, he continued, "Tell me the truth, those people are my retinue. ”
For this point, Chen Yichen has already guessed that this person's clothes are much more gorgeous than those who died. Although Chen Yichen is not deeply involved in the world, he still has this bit of common sense, nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"My name is Xiao Zichen, I live in Dachen Kyoto-Luancheng, and I received news at home two months ago that my brother who was far away in Yanguo was detained by the government for some reason. Under the order of my father, I went to the capital of Yan to dredge. From Kyoto, it is more than a month. Before arriving in Mexico, he heard that the war between the two countries had resumed. ”
Xiao Zichen sighed and continued: "I heard that the war was rekindled, and I wanted to return to Kyoto, but I couldn't ignore the feelings of my siblings. Determined to go to Yan Kingdom to give it a try, he didn't expect that not long after leaving Mocheng, he encountered mountain bandits on the road. My brothers fought to the death, so that my injuries were not fatal. met two ancient road enthusiasts again, and only then did he escape by luck. Just those brothers who died for me......"
"People can't be resurrected after death, Xiao Gongzi, you also have to mourn. When Li Wanwan heard this, she comforted softly from time to time: "Xiao Gongzi must quickly heal his injuries, presumably this is the purpose of the dead and the undead desperately protecting you." ”
"That's right, people can't be resurrected after death, and Xiao Gongzi should heal his injuries as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment. Chen Yichen really didn't know how to comfort others, so he could only process and repeat Wanwan's words.
Xiao Zichen nodded and said, "Now it can only be like this, by the way, I don't know how the two of you will appear outside of Mocheng, as far as I know, the war will soon spread here." ”
Chen Yichen simply told Xiao Zichen what happened to Liuhua Town, and when he was fleeing for his life, he got lost in the mountains and forests, and met him on the road by mistake. As for the other experiences, they are not mentioned or exaggerated. In his opinion, these are inconsequential and dispensable.
It turned out that the two were about to get married. A hint of strangeness flashed in Xiao Zichen's eyes, but no one noticed it, only heard him continue: "Congratulations to the two of you next, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely come to the scene to congratulate him in person." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. Xiao Gongzi is knowledgeable and courteous, he must be a reader. Chen Yichen saw that although he was a few years older than himself, his physique seemed to be average, but he was somewhat similar to what people called readers.
"It's not a secret, since he was a child, my father invited a few gentlemen, danced and wrote all day long, and received some edification. If He Gongzi compares, it is not worth mentioning. "Whether Xiao Zichen is usually so humble, no one knows. But at this time, he can definitely be regarded as a humble gentleman.
"I?haha, I just know a few words, and I was taught by Dr. Zhang in the village, and I am not even a serious gentleman. ”
Chen Yichen is right, the only person in the village who can read and hyphenate is Dr. Zhang. In his spare time, he often teaches some words, if you say that writing poetry and composition, it is far less. After all, living in Lingxi Mountain, hunting and farming is the foundation of survival.
"The husband has ambitions in all directions, and reading and literacy is not the only way out. If it weren't for my father's strictness, I would really want to abandon literature and follow the martial arts, and gallop on the battlefield in the future, so as to protect my family and defend the country and make contributions. Xiao Zichen mistakenly thought that Chen Yichen was laughing at himself, and continued: "Looking at Gongzi below, he looks like a person who practices martial arts, if he has the opportunity to gallop on the field, he will definitely be the future general of my Da Chen." ”
"Well, I really didn't think about it. Hearing Xiao Zichen's words, Chen Yichen really went to his heart. has fantasized more than once, and one day can be like a chivalrous man, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes. As for being able to gallop on the field, it seems to be a thing worth aspiring to.
"If the son intends to make a contribution, he can recommend it for you. Now that the war on the frontier has broken out again, it is a good opportunity for the people of Dachen to make meritorious contributions. As long as the son has a small military exploit, I can ensure that the son is in the court class. ”
"What does it mean to be in the court?" Chen Yichen roughly understood the previous words, but the last four words were the first time he had heard them.
"This ......" Xiao Zichen pondered for a moment, knowing that he didn't read much, but he didn't expect to read so little, thought about it, and said: "It's a big official, a general with military power, you can see the emperor, you are very rich, and you have a lot of power." ”
"Emperor. Chen Yichen nodded as if he didn't understand, and thought to himself, wasn't his future father-in-law a general?
"Yes, I can see the emperor, that is the Ninety-Five Emperor of my Great Chen Kingdom, the True Dragon Son of Heaven. ”
"Isn't the emperor's house very big?" Li Wanwan suddenly asked, "Young Master Xiao, have you ever seen the emperor?"
"The emperor's home is naturally very large, the entire Da Chen is his, and we are also his people. Speaking of this, Xiao Zichen seemed to be a little proud, and only listened to him continue: "The emperor lives in Luancheng, Kyoto, if you have the opportunity, the girl can also go to see it." ”
"Young Master Xiao, can you still see the emperor?" Not only Li Wanwan, but even Chen Yichen was surprised, subconsciously looked at the person in front of him, his eyes widened, and said, "Are you an official?"
"Haha, the emperor is not very difficult to meet, if you want to see him, you can go to Kyoto with you, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to meet him. ”
"Aren't you going to Yan Kingdom to rescue your brother?" As soon as Chen Yichen's voice fell, before Xiao Zichen could answer, he heard a noisy sound outside.
The three people in the room were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what was happening outside. Listening closely, people kept shouting: Catch him, don't let him run.
"Wan'er, you and Gongzi Qin stay in the house, I'll go see what's going on outside. ”
Li Wanwan wanted to stop him, but in the end he was a step too late, looked at the rush to the door, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Chen, be more careful." ”
"Don't worry, listen to the voices outside, it should be the sergeant in the city who is pursuing, he will not be in danger. Xiao Zichen slowly got out of bed as he spoke. It's just that I injured my back, and after resting for so long, my physical recovery is very good, as long as I don't exercise vigorously, it's fine.
"Does Xiao Gongzi trust the sergeant in Mocheng so much?" Hearing Xiao Zichen's words, Li Wanwan was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but his mouth was not too straightforward.
"It's not just Mocheng, it's Sergeant Da Chen that I trust. Xiao Zichen slowly walked behind Li Wanwan and continued: "My Da Chen soldiers are loyal, and they are even more brave in battle. ”
Li Wanwan
