Chapter Eighty-Six: Affection and Cowardice

I jerked to my feet, snatched the handkerchief from his hand, and threw it away.

Huo Quzhi said in a trembling voice: "You... Won't you forgive me? ”

My tone was cold: "Mu Lan is just an ordinary woman, she really can't afford General Huo's wrong love, you abandoned me, and it is naturally understandable to save General Li's daughter!" ”

"Swear to the moon and never lose each other." I repeated it twice, and suddenly I looked up and laughed loudly, "Hahaha...... Mulan, Mulan, you idiot! The laughter was poignant.

Huo Quzhi's heart was cold when he heard this, and when he faced the thousands of troops and horses of the Huns on the battlefield, he had never felt this cold like being in an ice cave, his face was full of blood, and he said with trembling lips: "I...... I ......"

For the sake of the rights and interests of the Wei family, he obeyed Wei Qing, refused to offend Li Guang, and abandoned me. How can this grievance and grief in my heart be easily resolved?

When I heard that Huo Qu's illness had been "me" for a long time, my heart was blocked, and tears fell down, and I couldn't say a word.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the forest was extremely cold. Huo Quzhi was crumbling, leaning weakly on the trunk of the tree, and it took a long time before he sat down slowly, opened his lips and whispered: "You don't want to catch a cold, can I make a fire?" ”

I sat with my legs bent against another tree, my eyes kept looking away, and I said with a blank face: "You can do whatever you like, your business has nothing to do with me!" ”

Huo Qu was stunned, nodded and said two "good" words in a row, just pursed his thin lips and smiled coldly, stood up, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" I heard his movements, and asked two words coldly, but my eyes still didn't move away.

Huo Quzhi said angrily: "Naturally, I want to do something merry and happy!" No matter how I reacted, I stumbled into the woods.

Huo Quai's life has never groveled to talk to people like today. He was born rich and noble, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Since childhood, he has been a person who has eyes on the top of his head and has never taken anyone into his eyes.

Today, I have repeatedly said good things to me, and I have given him a look, no wonder he is also a little angry, but I can't accept his apology.

I snorted heavily, and when he walked away, I couldn't help but turn my head to look.

In the dark, when I heard Huo Quai's footsteps, I saw that he was just bending down to pick up in the bushes nearby, and he didn't go far, so he secretly relieved himself. There are a lot of poisons in this wild forest, and most ordinary people don't have their lives to get out of it. Thinking about it like this, although I hated myself for being soft-hearted, my eyes were even more inseparable from Huo Quai.

After a while, Huo Qu came back from illness, and there were many things under the hem of his robe, all of which fell in front of me, with freshly ripe fruits with good color and unknown grass roots. I turned my face sideways and made a gesture with him as he walked away.

Huo Quzhi sat down, picked up a fruit, and said stupidly: "Although the wild fruits in this forest can eat a full stomach, I guess you must think that I am uneasy and kind, so it is better for you not to eat it." ”

I didn't make a sound, Huo Quzhi grabbed the grass roots that I had just dug up again: "These herbs are naturally poisonous, you better not use them, the wound that was scraped on the body when you just fell bleed, maybe the smell of blood will attract snakes, ants, and poisonous insects." ”

Huo Quzhi said a few words angrily, but when he saw that I still ignored him, he was even more disheartened, so he stopped talking, picked up a fruit and put it in his mouth to chew, chewed a few bites and threw it away, leaning his back against the trunk in a daze.

The forest wind was even more rampant at midnight, and the cold penetrated people's hearts.

The two of them didn't make a sound, and their eyes didn't touch, I looked down at my feet, and Huo Qu's sick face turned to the side. They are only a few feet apart, but they feel that they are separated by thousands of miles, and they can't get close together, and they are indescribably cold.

Remembering his oath on the cliff not long ago was like a strange dream. Even if it's a dream, I wake up too quickly.

I was extremely tired and felt like I was about to collapse, but I couldn't close my eyes, and I secretly glanced at Huo Quai, who was like a stone and had no movement at all, blinking my eyes, and tears couldn't help but slide down my cheeks silently. At first, I wiped it with the back of my hand, but then I simply didn't wipe it, so I let the tears keep flowing, and my heart was a little happier.

Huo Quzhi listened to my choking and couldn't bear to look at me, but finally came over, took off his robe and draped it over me. My complaining gaze shifted to Huo Quai, biting my lip and not speaking.

Huo Quzhi bent down to pick up the grass roots that were thrown on the ground and walked to my side. Nervously, he reached out and touched the abrasions on my arm from the fall.

"You're not like me, you're rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and you're often injured. It's okay that your abrasions are just skin injuries, otherwise they can't be treated now, but they will be broken. ”

My body froze, my face was still gloomy, but I didn't make a sound, and I didn't move. Huo Quzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, pursed his lips, grinded the grass roots with a stone, and applied it evenly to my wounds.

The right arm was cold and indescribably comfortable. Huo Quzhi's hand gently stroked my injured arm.

After tossing for a long time, the wound was bandaged. Huo Quzhi looked at it a little tiredly, nodded with satisfaction, and stood up to turn back to the tree he was sitting on.

I immediately reached out to hold his hand, and Huo Quzhi looked back at me cautiously. I didn't say anything, I turned my face away, but my hand held him.

Huo Quzhi sighed softly, sat beside me, and with a little force, pulled me into his arms, letting the waist fall into his left arm, and the injured right arm lifted with difficulty, caressing my face.

I looked at Huo Quai's face in the moonlight, obediently obeyed his wishes, and rested my head on his thick chest.

Pounding, pounding...... The sound of Huo Quzhi's heartbeat came into his ears.

Perhaps, it's my heartbeat.

"Am I wrong about you?" I sighed, "me, tell me." ”

"Am I supposed to be proud?" Huo Quzhi said softly, "You care so much about me? ”

For the first time in my life, I felt powerless: "What should I do with you?" ”

"Will you believe me?"

I was silent, I wanted to believe. But whether it was in the past or now, in him or Chu Jinmo, what he believed was betrayal, and a wave of helplessness came to his heart.

The Buddhist scriptures have clouds: If a person is in a thorn forest, if he does not move, he will not be hurt. The delusion cannot be afforded, and the joy of constant silence is extinguished, and the delusion will only move after a while, that is, it will be stabbed by all beings.

I muttered, "If you have a heart, you will suffer, but if you don't have a heart, you will be happy." ”

The moonlight was unprecedentedly beautiful, and together with the hateful forest wind, it was also surprisingly gentle. The feeling of cold is gone, and the warm current permeates the veins from the limbs.

Don't say anything, don't change anything. In this way, quietly, so quiet that the heart can hear the voice of the heart. The two snuggled up to each other, watching the moon disappear, the orange-red sun jumping out of the east, and the birds cheerfully and noisy.

It was as if I had woken up from a fantasy that was too beautiful to be written, and I moved lightly and stretched. Turning his head to see Huo Quai, his long eyelashes trembled with his breathing, and he wanted to reach out to touch it, but after all, his hand fell in mid-air and did not fall.

I moved slightly, and just wanted to stand up, but Huo Quzhi's arm couldn't break free like an iron hoop, and suddenly he opened his eyes and smiled at me: "It's really like a dream!" ”

I was slightly stunned and blurted out, "What if... Is it really just a dream? ”

Huo Quzhi took my hand and put it on his chest, and said with a smile: "You touch it, can you feel my heartbeat in your dreams?" ”

My face flushed, and my hand touched his heartbeat, and I immediately retracted like an electric shock. I stood up, patted my dress, and said, "Where the hell is this?" ”

Huo Quzhi also stood up and looked left and right: "This is still in the Qilian Mountains, we should be able to get out of the Lu." With that, he reached out to take me, and I hesitated for a second, then put my hand behind my back.

Huo Quzhi sighed lightly: "Are you still annoyed with me?" But you're going back to Chang'an with me after all, aren't you? Although I don't know why you came to Hexi, and I don't know how you have spent the past few months, but since I found you, don't bother me anymore, and don't give me a good look after not seeing you for so long, hey! ”

I said angrily: "Who wants to go back to Chang'an with you!" ”

Huo Quzhi was stunned: "If you don't go back to Chang'an with me, where are you going?" ”

I said, "I'll go back to Whitewater City to pick up Doris first, and then take her to the end of the world with me!" ”

Huo Quzhi didn't laugh angrily, and said, "If you want to pick up people, you have to go out of here first, right?" Let's go! With that, he turned around and wanted to walk forward, but turned to look at me who was still hesitant, and made a gesture of please.

Although I was not happy, my footsteps still kept up with him, Huo Quai's ability to recognize the way was really innate, even in such an unknown and uninhabited valley, he could easily identify the direction.

There was only the sound of birds in the forest, the sun shining through the branches of the trees, the light and shadow were dappled bright, Huo Quzhi took the sword to open the way in front, and cut down all the branches and vines that stood in the way. I followed behind him, watching his back, afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Losing and regaining is more of a gain than not getting it, because if you never get it, you don't know how precious it is. And when you get it and lose it, you will cherish it when you lose it and regain it. Maybe in addition to me, Huo Quzhi also thinks the same.

Suddenly, Huo Quai's body froze, and his hand turned back and made a stop gesture to me. He whispered, "Lan'er be careful, don't come over." ”

I followed his gaze and immediately gasped, and a snake coiled on a branch, spitting out letters in the direction of Huo Qu's illness. My whole body was stiff, I didn't dare to move in place, and I was worried about Huo Quai's illness in my heart, and I had no idea for a while.

The snake stared at Huo Quai, and flew towards Huo Quai, and I exclaimed: "Ah! ", reflexively rushed over to hug Huo Quai, if you want to bite, bite me, as long as he is fine! That was the only thought on my mind at the time.

I only heard Huo Quai's heartbeat and smelled the familiar orchid on his body, I closed my eyes tightly, half loud, but I was not bitten by a snake as expected.

It seems like a long time has passed.

Huo Quzhi smiled: "The beauty is in my arms, I am very happy." But if you keep holding me like this, we won't be able to get out of the dark! ”
