Chapter Ninety-Three: My Heart Has Not Changed
"Zhilu Dao, don't worry!"
I pushed open the door, Huo Quzhi was about to go out, and when he saw me wearing a coarse cloth clothes, he smiled and said, "You look good like this, I'll go out and go down, you can rest first." ”
I hurriedly said, "It's going to be dark soon, don't go out." ”
Huo Quzhi said: "It's okay, I'll be back soon." ”
I went back to the house and waited for Huo to get sick, I was tired and tired after a day of walking, I accidentally fell asleep, woke up leisurely, and called: "Go sick?" "The house was empty.
"Going sick?" got out of bed and called softly twice, but no one answered. I looked out through the wooden window and it was already half dark.
Someone lifted the curtain and came in, and I turned around happily, only to find that it was the kind lady.
"Girl, your husband went to collect medicine, and said that your hand was cut by a branch." The eldest lady smiled kindly, "The meal is ready, let's eat together, there is no food." ”
"Xie Lu, Aunt Xie." I answered softly, smiled gratefully, and followed my aunt to the humble little hall. The mute uncle was already sitting at the table. On the table, there are clean dishes and chopsticks, a plate of shredded radish, a plate of cabbage, and half a pot of gruel boiled with mixed rice, which is steaming.
The dumb uncle gestured: "Ahh......hh Yes! ”
Only the eldest lady understood what he meant, and said to me, "Girl, sit down and eat." Don't worry, your husband said that he will only go to the bottom of the mountain and will be back soon. ”
"Xie Lu, Uncle Xie, Auntie." I glanced out the window at the half-dark sky.
Although it was coarse tea and light rice, the two old men treated each other with hospitality, which made the cottage full of warm feelings. I put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked out the window again, it was already dark. Still didn't see Huo Quai's figure, and couldn't help but worry.
"Tsk, why hasn't your husband come back yet?" The eldest lady also looked out anxiously with me, "In the past, it was the foot of the mountain, there was not much road, and it was time to come back at this time." ”
I felt uneasy and paced back and forth in the small courtyard in front of the door. Thinking that although Huo Qubing is brave, the mountains at night are not fun, the beast is hungry for the winter, if it just happens to bump into it, it will be okay?
In the past, when I didn't see him, Huo Quzhi always said how worried about me, and I also said that he was too careful. Now I know that Lu Dao is more uncomfortable than worrying about others.
Since we met Huo Qubing on the battlefield, we have been almost inseparable for the past two days, and we are extremely anxious at this moment, and I can't help but say: "Auntie, I'd better go out and find it." ”
The mute uncle screamed a few times and waved his hand vigorously.
The eldest lady said: "Wait a little longer, otherwise your husband will come back and disappear you, and you will be in a hurry again." ”
"No, no, I'll take a turn at the foot of the hill in front of me and I'll be back soon." I borrowed a torch, asked Huo Qu where he was sick, and instructed: "Auntie, if he comes back, you must tell him not to go out again." I didn't see him at the foot of the mountain, and I came back at once. ”
The eldest lady sighed: "Sure enough, it is two husbands and wives, when he left, he repeatedly told me to take care of you, and you told me to take care of him." Good girl, just look at the side of the mountain, and don't go up the mountain when it's dark. ”
"I know it."
Although it was night, the wind was not strong, and I walked in a hurry, and the flames pulled a long tail in mid-air, as if they were chasing my figure.
After a while, we reached the bottom of the mountain. The white moonlight on the way is the end here, the moonlight can no longer invade this forest, and the black shadows of the branches are pressed towards people. I held a torch and looked around, how could there be a figure of Huo Quai?
"Go sick! Go sick! After watching for a while, I let go of my voice and called twice, echoing one Lang and one Lang coming back from the depths of the bottomless woods.
I watched carefully at the edge of the forest, and there were traces of snow being dug up under several large trees. I hurriedly went up to see that someone had indeed dug up herbs here, and the broken roots were still left in the soil.
I followed the tracks one by one, and soon found a few footprints lightly imprinted on the snow, and if I hadn't held a torch and searched carefully, I am afraid that I would have neglected to pass over.
I slowly followed the footprints step by step, the forest shadow completely covered the sky above my head, I raised my head, Huo Qu was sick into this forest? For some reason, my heart suddenly shrank, and it hurt as soon as I was excited.
"Go sick! Go sick! Where are you? I shouted loudly and vigorously.
A desolate sorrow rushed into my heart, as if I had never been so helpless. I am not dealing with people, but with a mountain of silence. This place with no enemies and no traps is more intimidating than the battlefield, and I don't know how to deal with it. The mountains and the shadows of the forest stared at each other in silence, I had never felt so lonely.
"Where are you?" I turned abruptly, and the torch illuminated my pale face. With the wisdom of my old belly, I was at a loss. Why did you just see him, and did you want to miss him like this? I became timid for no reason.
Standing in the middle of the night, the moonlight on the left is full of the earth, and the forest is dark and dreary on the right. I couldn't hear the whispers of the night worms, and it dawned on me that I was alone.
"Where are you?" I asked in a low voice, not in a high-pitched voice. The torches burned, making a slight sound. This slight sound is the only rhythm in the silence. What came to mind was a pair of sharp and deep black eyes.
Strong arms, I thought I would be tightly hugged by those arms for the rest of my life, how do I know that now I am wandering alone in the night?
He has a peerless sword and earth-shattering bravery, but he doesn't have a heart that can make me settle.
In the middle of the night when no one was around, I couldn't help but cry. Even I didn't understand how the bitterness hidden in my heart suddenly churned, so that tears dripped down at the entrance of this endless black forest, seeping into the soil under my feet, leaving no traces.
I lowered my head, gritted my teeth, and could see the falling tears clearly in the firelight. Suddenly he looked up and shouted, "Go sick!" Go sick! Where are you? "With a crying voice, it is so sad that it is permeating.
"Lan'er! I'm here! A crisp echo suddenly jumped out of the silent woods.
Instead, I froze as if I was frightened, holding up the torch and staring at it in a daze. A figure emerged from the forest, carrying herbs, and strode towards it quickly.
Huo Quzhi said hurriedly: "I didn't think that there were other good herbs on this mountain, so I walked along the roots of the trees one by one, and before I knew it, I walked away." As soon as it got dark, I almost couldn't find the way back, but fortunately you found it, ah..."Seeing my red eyes under the firelight, Huo Quzhi suddenly stopped, and after a while, he asked quietly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." I bit my lip.
"Crying like this," Huo Quzhi took the torch and held my hand with his other hand: "Why are you cold, how long have you been standing here?" It's all my fault, so I'm worried about you. ”
I endured it desperately, and after I saw him, all the strong disguises I had before collapsed in an instant. It's good that he didn't come to save me that day, and it doesn't matter what happened to Li Ziwei, I don't want to worry about anything, I just know that I can't do without him anymore.
"Wow!" I cried and threw myself into his arms, holding him tightly, trying to rub him into my own life at this moment.
Huo Quzhi was shocked by my sudden move: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Am I not coming back? Stop crying, okay? ”
My tears and snot rubbed against him, and I continued to cry. Huo Qu was sick and hurriedly wiped my tears, but I didn't listen to anything, just hugged him and cried loudly. After the end, he had no choice but to hug me and keep comforting: "Don't cry, it's all my fault, and I'll never leave you alone in the future." ”
In his repeated gentle comforts, my emotions finally calmed down, and I buried my head in his arms and whispered, "I love you." ”
Huo Quai's body was shaken, and his body became stiff, and I saw that he didn't react for a long time, so I looked up at him. Seeing him holding a torch in one hand and hugging me in the other, a heroic face in the firelight turned red at the moment.
I stood on tiptoe, leaned over his lips, and kissed him hard, his eyes shining and staring straight at me. I didn't stop doing it, I leaned in and kissed him again, and then stared at him with tender eyes.
Huo Quzhi touched the lips that had been kissed by me and said, "I finally learned to throw myself into my arms." ”
I smiled lightly, and was just about to speak, Huo Qu lowered his head and bit my lip violently, in the silent forest, even the wind seemed to stop, I only heard my heartbeat and his heartbeat, three thousand prosperous worlds, everything is far away from me, only me and him, him and me are left in the vast world.
In just a moment, but it seems like a long life, from getting along with him in Huo Mansion bit by bit, to the current reunion, the scenes quickly passed through my mind. This feeling is overflowing.
It wasn't until this moment that I knew that I had already engraved him deeply in my heart, indelible. The moment I thought I was going to lose him, I realized how scared I was of losing him.
Liang Jiu Huo left my lips and took my hand, "Go back!" ”
I nodded, put my hand in his palm with confidence, and never ran away from it again! I have to be brave enough to face my heart, my feelings.
After returning to the farmhouse, the eldest lady was still waiting for us under the lamp, and when she saw us coming back safe and sound, she hurriedly said, "God bless!" "After thanking the eldest mother, we went back to the room prepared by the eldest mother.
After entering the room, the atmosphere changed. This room was simple and cramped, Huo Quzhi was tall, and the two of them stood inside, almost unable to turn around. I looked at the only small bed in the room, my cheeks were hot, and I squinted my eyes to catch a glimpse of Huo Quai, but he didn't bother to take out the herbs and grind them.
I secretly scolded myself for not being as good as him in my ideological realm, and I was not upright at all!
Huo Quzhi carefully grinded all the medicines he picked back into medicinal juice, and then looked up at me: "What are you still doing in a daze, come here!" ”
I approached obediently, Huo Quzhi smeared the medicinal juice on my arm little by little, and said, "The injury on your hand looks like a bone injury, how did you get it?" ”
