Huo Tianyou's undisguised words made Lu Shuyi blush again, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Huo Tianyou saw her like this, so he smiled and changed the topic: "You make good dim sum." And he said, "It's a lot of work to do, isn't it?" ”

Lu Shuyi packed up the snack box, casually put it on the red peony pattern incense table on the side, and replied: "It's not bothersome, anyway, I don't have anything to do, it's a convenient thing." ”

She didn't say that she did it for him on purpose, so as not to be embarrassed.

Huo Tianyou didn't ask, and pointed to a red sandalwood drum-legged Pengya square stool next to the bed: "Sit down and talk." He looked at her again and said, "Also, remove the big stuff from you, I won't look at it." ”

As he spoke, he turned his face away.

Lu Shuyi glanced at him, and said in her heart, in such a situation, it seems that she can't get rid of it, and thinks, anyway, it's just a big thing, and there is no one else here, what are you afraid of......

She raised her wrist and gently untied the big gun, and after taking it off, she simply hugged it in her arms.

"Okay......" She coughed dryly, in order not to embarrass herself, she hurriedly found a topic and said: "It's not that the heavy snow at the border pass blocked the road, how did you come back?" ”

She gradually stopped calling him the second son, but called you.

Huo Tianyou glanced at her and did not speak.

Did she ask more?

Lu Shuyi thought in her heart, pinched her fingers cautiously, and immediately said, "I just asked casually, you don't have to answer me." ”

"Oh?" Huo Tianyou's voice was faint, he looked at her thoughtfully, and said slowly: "There are some things you still don't want to know, and knowing more may not be a good thing." ”

Huo Tianyou's eyes were a little ethereal, his long eyelashes covered his originally bright eyes, and a trace of resentment slowly passed over his face.

Lu Shuyi looked at the expression on his face, her eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that he was indeed calculated by his family.

She knows the taste of being calculated by her family best, and she keeps saying that we are a family on weekdays, but she stabs you in the back, and she wants to make you fatal.

She understands this feeling.

"Yes...... It's related to your expedition, right? Lu Shuyi asked without fear of death, she hesitated, pondered, and said cautiously: "Actually...... It's your brother Huo family's son who should go on the expedition this time, right? ”

Huo Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, the person who went on the expedition should have been him, but he couldn't go on the expedition." ”

"So, it's you who goes to war, and ...... The exploits are his, right? Lu Shuyi's voice was very light and light, so light that she almost couldn't hear it.

If you talk about pitiful, the boy in front of you is actually the most pitiful.

Maybe someone else may be rewarded more or less, but he can't get something in return.

This feeling of being pressed on her head all the time to steal credit, she may not be able to fully experience it in her life.

He must have had a hard time!

"You've guessed it......" Huo Tianyou's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest ripple.

"It was when I was five years old, and it was also such a snowy day...... Huo Tianyou's eyelashes moved slightly, and the whole person was immersed in thoughts, and said: "The snow stopped that day, and my brother came to call me, saying that the lake in the garden had already formed thick ice, and we brothers could secretly go skating." ”

Lu Shuyi listened quietly, even breathing a little heavier, she was afraid of disturbing his thoughts.

So my brother and I snuck out into the garden, and sure enough, there was ice on the lake. It was snowing and the two of us had a great time on the ice......"

A subtle smile bloomed at the corner of Huo Tianyou's mouth, perhaps, he was still nostalgic for the beauty of that day.

Lu Shuyi just looked at him for a moment, maybe because he was injured, his whole person looked like an innocent child who needed to be protected, so she couldn't bear to look away.

"Maybe God is happy to see us playing, he is also jealous......" Huo Tianyou's voice slowly improved, and the expression on his face began to become heavy: "...... There was a crack in the ice, and it became an ice hole, and my brother and I were very scared, and we both tried to run away, but the hole got bigger and bigger, and the hole got bigger and bigger......"

Lu Shuyi's heart twitched when she heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, and she couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.

“…… I ran as hard as I could, but in the blink of an eye, my brother and I all fell into the ice hole, and the lake was so cold that I was shivering all over. As he said this, his body trembled imperceptibly, as if he were still in the cold waters.

"At that time, the two of us wanted to float, but I was too small to use my legs...... But then my brother and I were rescued ashore, but after being rescued, both of our bodies were eroded by the cold, and I was born with a good physique, so I carried it, but my brother's legs have since fallen to the root of the disease, and as long as it is cold, it will hurt and can't get off the ground......"

“…… Later, my father beat me with a horse made of cowhide, saying that I shouldn't have messed around with my brother, and that it was my fault that my brother was tortured by illness......"

He spoke out of his mouth about the thrill and pain of the day.

Lu Shuyi felt very uncomfortable when she heard it.

"So...... For so many years, my father always felt that I owed my eldest brother, and I repaid it for more than ten years. I think that maybe one day I will be able to pay off these so-called debts, and when that day comes, I will be able to reap my efforts and live without having to hide my life again......" He sighed softly with his eyes closed, and there seemed to be a drop of crystal clear water on his eyelashes, shining with a heart-wrenching brilliance under the light.

"But in the end, I thought wrong, in the end, I misestimated the so-called family affection, and misestimated the so-called brotherhood......"

He went on the expedition for his brother for more than half a year this time, not to mention the ferocious situation of the war, even the deadly environment outside the customs was unbearable for ordinary people.

But he endured it, and made war exploits in the name of his brother Huo Tiankang, but what did he get in the end?

Got an ambush halfway through? It's still smeared with poison||Poison arrows of medicine?

Even if he owes his eldest brother, he should have already paid it off, right?

Huo Tianyou's words couldn't be clearer, he was injured because of his eldest brother Huo Tiankang.

Lu Shuyi's heart shook, and all kinds of tastes rushed to her heart, and she was speechless for a while.

It turned out that he had carried so much.

To outsiders, he seems to be the second son of the Huo family, but for him, it is just a title.

She always felt that she was tired, and it turned out that he was not living an easy life.

"You don't owe him, really, you really don't owe him." After a long time, she finally smiled and looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "You are not wrong, you have not done anything wrong, if it were me that day, I would definitely go out to play with my brother." If you have to dwell on a mistake, that person can only be your father, it is his fault, for so many years, he should not have made you carry so much and bear so many ......"

Huo Tianyou looked into her eyes and didn't speak.

"So, you don't have to pay attention to these in the future, what is yours is yours, you don't have to compromise, and you don't have to wronged yourself." She got up with a soft smile, reached out and took one of his hands, and said slowly, "Remember, you live here with hope......"

In her previous life, Mr. Bai comforted her like this, she didn't know if this trick would work on Huo Tianyou.

Of course, at this moment, she completely forgot about the male and female defenses, she just wanted to comfort the boy in front of her......

Her hands were warm, like a small burning stove, and the sorrows and resentments that had frozen in her heart seemed to be melting little by little, like spring, melting into crystal clear droplets.

Moreover, what she said seemed to be familiar and familiar, when did he seem to hear it? Or when did you do the same thing?

My brain hurt inexplicably, and vague fragments flashed through my mind.

"Thank you for your comfort." He put his other hand on the back of her hand and stared up at her.

Lu Shuyi stood half-crouched in the light and shadow, and her eyes were as clear as if she had washed black agate, brightening his world.

However, he rashly put his other hand on the back of Lu Shuyi's hand, which really scared her.

Lu Shuyi immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been stabbed by something, and said with a red face: "Okay, after saying so much, you must be tired too, you rest first, I'll ...... I'm going back too. ”

A trace of loss flashed on Huo Tianyou's face, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "I said that I asked you to see Mr. Bai, don't worry, I will let him see you next time." ”

Lu Shuyi was still a little embarrassed, so she replied hastily: "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when you recover from your illness." ”

Huo Tianyou nodded, and said, "Is there any tricky thing that you can't solve over there recently?" I'm back now, if you can't solve something, you can sue me, and I'll see if I can help you. ”

Speaking of tricky things, there is only her family business at present.

Second Mrs. He wanted to be a matchmaker for her and let her marry into the Zhao family in Baoding Mansion.

But she didn't want to bother him about this, after all, he was so badly injured, and there must be a battle between him and his brother to come, she couldn't bother him anymore to distract him.

"It's not a big deal, it's all good. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you, because of your people, my uncle is much more motivated now. And the people you left behind, they helped me a lot, thank you, really thank you. ”

Huo Tianyou smiled, and his expression seemed to be a little tired.

After talking about it for most of the day, he can be regarded as a waste of energy.

Lu Shuyi immediately got up and said, "I see that you are also tired, so let's rest, and when your body is well, we will slowly talk about something else." ”

This time, Huo Tianyou didn't keep her anymore, nodded very gently, coughed and said, "Then when will you come to see me again?" ”

Lu Shuyi frowned.

It's not easy to come here today, when will you come again?

She didn't dare to guarantee it, but said, "I'll come to see you when I'm free." After thinking about it, he said, "If you have anything special to eat, you tell me, and if I can come next time, I will bring it to you." ”

Huo Tianyou thought about it very seriously: "I want to eat noodles......"

Lu Shuyi was a little embarrassed, if she brought noodles here from the Lu family, and the road was bumpy, would the noodles still be edible?

The answer is no.

She shook her head and discussed, "Is it okay to change to a different one?" If you bring the noodles, you can't eat them. ”

"What to do...... I just want to eat noodles. Huo Tianyou looked at her face and smiled lightly: "There is a kitchen ...... behind."

I'm waiting for her here!

Lu Shuyi secretly cursed cunning in her heart, pursed her lips and said: "It depends on when I can come, maybe the next time I come, you will have already recovered from your injuries." ”

"No," he was sure: "At least I won't go back until the New Year......"

Lu Shuyi vaguely felt that he still had something important to do, so she only said "oh", put on the big hat again, looked at the food box on the incense table and said, "If you don't like to eat these snacks, you can appreciate them." ”

"Who says I don't like to eat? Your craft is good. Huo Tianyou smiled, looked at her and said, "It's snowing outside and the mountain road is difficult, I will let Shuangrui and them secretly escort you back." ”

Lu Shuyi stopped and thought for a while: "No, you also need someone to take care of you here." ”

"I'm a lot ......," he insisted.

Lu Shuyi no longer shirked, but said: "Then let Shuangxi take someone to send us off, and Shuangrui stays." Finally, I didn't forget to remind: "By the way, Li Ping'an, don't blame him, he was really forced by me." ”

"Got it......" Huo Tianyou shook his head helplessly: "I said that if I don't pursue it, I won't pursue it, how can my husband go back on his word?" ”

Lu Shuyi was relieved at this time, and said goodbye to him with a smile: "Then you are so good to give birth and raise, if you need it, you can ask Li Ping'an to tell me." ”

Huo Tianyou let out a "hmm", then leaned on the quilt behind him and slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Shuyi glanced at it and knew that he was too tired, so she didn't dare to disturb anymore, so she walked out on tiptoe gently.

Shuangrui was like a stake guarding the door, snowing heavily, and he was covered with snow, but he didn't leave a single step.

Lu Shuyi quietly asked him: "Are you cold like this?" ”

"Cold." Shuangrui replied very simply, but he said: "For the safety of my second son, what are you afraid of?" ”

Lu Shuyi let out an admiring "oh", and asked in a low voice, "Are you and Shuangxi brothers?" He...... Did he get married? ”

Shuangrui looked puzzled.

"What is the third lady asking for?"

Lu Shuyi was a little embarrassed, she couldn't say that it was to plan a future for her maid.

"It's nothing, I just feel curious, ask casually, ask casually......" She coughed dryly: "What's that...... I'm sorry you to call my people out, I'm going back. Also, the second son said to let Shuangxi and them secretly send us back, you ...... No comments, right? ”

Shuangrui didn't say anything, turned around and went to the backyard, and after a while, he came over with Mo Ju and Dongmei.

As soon as Dongmei came over, her eyebrows fluttered and she pointed at Shuangxi and said to Lu Shuyi: "Third Miss, I tell you, the wood carving he made is fun, look at this pig carving, is it vivid?" ”

Dongmei held a walnut-sized piece of wood carving with two little piglets carved on it, with vivid expressions, as if they were alive.

Lu Shuyi was surprised: "The carving is so beautiful, and the hands are so skillful." ”

Shuangxi was still a little embarrassed, scratched his hair and said: "Random carving, that is, watching and playing, if the third lady likes it, I will give you one next time." ”

"What, you're just too modest, can you teach me too?" Dongmei happily played with the wood carving in her hand, and she liked it very much.

Shuangxi's eyes swept over Dongmei's body, and her face was visibly red.

It looks like there's a play.

Lu Shuyi smiled quietly: "Then thank you, if you want to carve, can you help me carve a plum blossom?" ”

Double Happiness nodded in response.

On the way back, Lu Shuyi asked Dongmei in a different way: "What do you say about Double Happiness?" ”

Mo Ju is an extremely thoughtful person, she thought about it a little, and immediately understood Lu Shuyi's thoughts.

"I think Shuangxi is not bad, Dongmei, don't you say?" Mo Ju pushed Dongmei's elbow and smiled slyly.

Dongmei was still playing with the wood carving in her hand, she didn't even raise her eyebrows, she just smiled and said: "He looks like a big old man, but I think he is very thoughtful, you can see how good this wood carving is......" She rubbed her fingers back and forth against the wood carving, and the smile on her face was very bright.

It seems that Double Happiness is still a very good man in his heart.

Lu Shuyi was relieved, if she really was a matchmaker for Dongmei, she shouldn't resist.

She thought as she rested her head against the wall of the car again......

It was snowing heavily, and Huo Tianyou was lying with his eyes half-closed, his face pale.

Shuangrui came over with the medicine.

Huo Tianyou sniffed, only frowned and waved his hand: "Let's put it aside first, and then drink it when it's cold." ”

Since he was a child, he was most afraid of drinking medicine, and when he smelled the medicine, he wanted to vomit when he wanted to vomit.

Shuangrui didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only honestly put the medicine bowl on the incense table, lowered his eyelids and said: "Miss Lu San came to you today, it must be Li Ping'an's news, Li Ping'an's side, you want to punish him?" ”

Huo Tianyou waved his hand tiredly, he had already promised Lu Shuyi not to punish Li Ping'an, the eldest husband was true to his word, and he would not punish if he said that he would not be punished.

"Leave him alone, he didn't tell anyone anyway."

Shuangrui has been by Huo Tianyou's side since he was a child, he has always acted steadily and understandably, like Li Ping'an, in his opinion, he should be punished.

He didn't understand why Huo Tianyou, who had always been strict, didn't punish Li Ping'an.

"What about Miss Lu San? You...... You trust her so much? If she goes back and reveals your whereabouts to others, something big will happen. Shuangrui's voice was low and worried.

This time, Huo Tianyou encountered an ambush on the way back, and it can be seen that the enemy is hiding in the shadows, and the shape is very dangerous.

Huo Tianyou is hiding here, also because Buddhism is clean and easy to recuperate.

Second, this is the secret place left by Huo Tianyou's grandfather. When the old marquis Huo was dying, he told Huo Tianyou of this place, probably thinking that the Huo family brothers might fight each other in the future, and when Huo Tianyou, who was a concubine, had nowhere to go, this place could just accommodate him and save his life.

In such a secret place, Huo Tianyou let a woman in and out at will. Even on the way Huo Tianyou was rescued, he gave an order in a daze, if Miss Lu Jiasan came to him, let her in......

He didn't understand why his second son-in-law trusted a woman so much.

Huo Tianyou still closed his eyes, but he said very surely: "She won't harm me, I know, she will definitely not hurt me." ”

Shuangrui twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, what else could he say?

His master already trusted that weak girl so much, how else could he persuade her?

"What's going on in the Hou Mansion now?" Huo Tianyou supported his body slightly and pointed to the medicine bowl.

No matter how bitter the medicine is, he has to swallow it. Because only by raising his body and bones can he have the capital to fight for it.

Shuangrui hurriedly brought him the medicine bowl and replied, "The person we sent out to investigate came back early this morning, and you hadn't woken up at that time, so ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, talk about things." Huo Tianyou drank the medicine in one gulp, and he frowned bitterly.

Shuangrui hurriedly went to bring warm water to serve him to rinse his mouth, he only waved his hand and said, "No need, bring me a piece of the dim sum in the snack box on the incense table......

Shuangrui was stunned, and while going to get dim sum, he wondered: "Don't you like dim sum the most?" It is said that it is sour in the mouth after eating, and it is uncomfortable...... Why now? ”

"Nonsense...... Huo Tianyou took the snack in Shuangrui's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and he ate it with relish.

Shuangrui's eyes widened when he saw it, and said in his heart, their second son is an injured arm and not a tongue, can the sense of taste still change?

But looking at the food box again, he understood a little.

It was given by Miss Lu San, so ......

But is Miss Lu San that good? Isn't it just that people are beautiful, speak in a nice voice, can make snacks, and comfort people......

Like, she's pretty good.

Shuangrui touched his head.

Huo Tianyou reminded him: "You haven't answered me yet!" ”

"Oh, oh, oh, there's no big movement in the Hou Mansion right now. Mrs. Hou is very good, but she is quite concerned about you. On the Shizi's side...... He has been sending people to look for you, and he also hired a killer from the Jiuhua Gang in the capital and offered a bounty to ask for your ...... ...... your life"

Shuangrui's voice was full of incomparably angry, and he said angrily: "You have done so many things for him for so many years and left so much blood, how can he still treat you like this?" ”

"There's nothing you can't see, isn't that what people are? What else can he see in the face of interests and rights? Huo Tianyou's voice was a little sad, and he swallowed the dim sum made by Lu Shuyi in one gulp, and his throat seemed to warm up.

Shuangrui sighed almost inaudibly, and asked, "The prince hired a murderer and wants to wait for the opportunity to move, so what are you going to do?" You can't just stay here for the rest of your life, can you? ”

"Is the leader of the Jiuhua Gang Cheng Youqing?" Huo Tianyou asked, and slowly leaned on the futon behind him.

After all, I was injured, and after sitting for a long time, my body felt very weak.

Shuangrui thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not Cheng Youqing now, Cheng Youqing died ten days ago, and now the gang leader of the Jiuhua Gang is the original deputy gang leader Shi Bantian." ”

"Cheng Youqing is dead? How did he die? "From the time he was injured to the present, he hasn't asked a single question from the outside world, but he didn't expect some people to start so quickly and block his way.

"It was rumored that he died of a disease, but his subordinates sent someone to inquire secretly, but Cheng Youqing's orphan said that Cheng Youqing was killed by the deputy gang leader Shi Bantian......"

"I'm afraid it wasn't Shi Bantian who killed him, the person behind it should be my eldest brother." Huo Tianyou took a breath, his eyes sank.

A few years ago, he had a chance to save the process and died again.

Cheng Youqing is a very righteous person, and he said at the time that as long as it was Huo Tianyou's business, it was his Cheng Youqing's business, so his eldest brother Huo Tiankang wanted to launch the Jiuhua Gang to kill him, and Cheng Youqing would never agree.

But as soon as Cheng Youqing dies, this pattern will be broken.

People go to tea and cool, the current gang leader wants his life, and the gang members can only obey orders.

Huo Tianyou stretched out his hand and took out a copper coin with engraved words from his arms, raised his arm and threw it to Shuangrui: "Take this and send someone to find Chai Zeng, another deputy gang leader of the Jiuhua Gang, and say that I want to see him......" R1152
