The fat woman slept for a while, stretched out her hand, and saw that her side was empty, and she sat up in fright, and the hard labor in the mines could die, but she could not escape, otherwise it would spread out, and her husband would be punished. The woman was startled, frightened, and opened her voice and shouted: "Oh no! Aunt Cao fled! Aunt Cao fled! ”

The night shrouded the four fields, Cao Yuzhen stumbled, and after walking for long, he got lost in the woods outside the town. I was looking for a place to rest, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a dog barking.

He turned around and wanted to climb up the tree, but he had no power to restrain the chicken, how could he not climb up, the high trunk, finally climbed two feet away, a loose force, actually slipped down from the tree, was about to climb again, the left leg was bitten by a dog, the vicious dog desperately pulled him to the other side, he hugged the tree, did not dare to relax.

The dog let go of its mouth and began to bark louder.

He waved his hand to catch up, and several dogs ran not far away, some biting their hands, some biting their legs, but his clothes were thin, and he could feel the pain of the dog's teeth entering the flesh, tearing his heart and lungs, as if he was going to tear his stomach to pieces.

It is said that there is a small town near the mouth of the white tower, and he also heard that he has never managed to escape from here, but most of them have lost their way in the nearby mountains and forests, and it is also twenty miles away from the nearest downtown area, where it is said that the spiritual bones of a monk who have attained the Tao have been buried.

It is better to live in shame than to die! No, he is unwilling, he is handsome, he is as talented as a fairy, why is he down, he is unwilling, he wants to show his ambitions, he wants to live in the scenery......

However, a moment later, in a burst of stinging pain, Cao Yuzhen howled: "Help...... Help me! Help ......"

A pack of vicious dogs surrounded him. Continue to hissed at him. Roaring. He barely had the strength to call out "help" anymore.

Hearing a burst of talking in the night, several officers and soldiers rushed over, and a cold-faced man sat on horseback in between, "What a bold man, he dares to escape from the mouth of the White Tower!" Come on, take him back! ”

His arms and legs were also scarred by dog bites.

Only his face is still as handsome as before.

Hu Xiangling sat in front of his broken wooden couch, looking at him in rags and silent. Holding a sweet potato that was still warm in his hand: "Hungry!" I sent it this morning, there are two of them, and I'll leave one for you to eat. ”

Cao Yuzhen scolded "slut" indignantly, and turned his face to the side, "I was all harmed by you, if you didn't harm coral, how could I ......?"

He is still the noble county horse, and he is still the most proud son of the Cao family.

But now, he is a prisoner, a guilty body.

Everything that has ever been. They all have nothing to do with him.

He wanted to escape, but he couldn't get out again. can only stay here and wait for death, or wait for the emperor's reward, maybe at that time, he still has a chance of life.

Hu Xiangling smiled, and her dark complexion was no longer as fair and radiant as it used to be. "You hurt me, I hurt you, and now, no one wants to take care of you except me! Let's eat the sweet potato! I'll go back to the river and catch fish for you to make soup......"

"Slut!" Cao Yuzhen scolded again, turned his face to the side, and didn't want to look at him anymore.

Hu Xiangling said: "Your face is a curse!" Why didn't the dog bite your face, but bite your arms and legs......"

The face is a curse!

Cao Yuzhen wrote down this sentence.

Yes, if he is ordinary, how can he be favored by Deputy Lieutenant An, and how can he be insulted by that fat woman.

He is perhaps the most reluctant man in the world.

Although Hu Xiangling was afraid to go to the river alone, he had the courage to go and didn't touch the river, but he grabbed two fist-sized river crabs. As soon as she approached the cave where she lived, she heard Cao Yuzhen let out a piercing cry of pain, she ran a few steps quickly, but saw Cao Yuzhen holding a dry branch in her hand, and slammed down from her left forehead, drawing a bloody mark on her father-in-law's handsome face, and immediately dripping with blood.

In a shocking scene, Hu Xiangling ran a few steps quickly and exclaimed, "Yu Zhen!" Ran over, grabbed him, and whispered: "I just said it casually, you don't have to ......"

"You're right!" He gritted his teeth in pain, didn't look at Hu Xiangling, and turned his face to the side.

Hu Xiangling found his clothes, wrapped the wound for him, took a small casserole, and put the river crab in the pot, "I'm going to move the ore in a while, if I don't go, I'm afraid that there will be no food at noon, and there is a cart of ore to work today." You look at the fire, and when it's cooked and you eat the crab, you must stew it, and it will kill you if you eat it raw. ”

The other women divided the work of two carts of ore, and there were men to count on, but she could only rely on herself, little by little, from the mine to the roadside car, sometimes a little careless, and some people stole the ore she moved, the same work, others easily moved enough in half a day, and she had to pay more than others.

What is he still alive to do? It's better to die!

But he was afraid of death and wanted to come alive.

Hu Xiangling finished moving the stones, and at noon today, she sent a little cured meat, and two big white steamed buns, and she happily took the steamed buns into the cave.

Cao Yuzhen was half-lying on a wooden couch, and one of the prisoners who knew a little about medicine was about to examine Cao Yuzhen's wound and apply herbs to the place where he had been bitten by a dog.

The man glanced at Hu Xiangling, and remembered that when she first came, she was also delicate and lovely, but in a few months, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she has to become an ordinary woman, "Are you his woman?" ”

Hu Xiangling's face was embarrassed, it used to be, but he didn't want her anymore, "It's just familiar!" ”

Cao Yuzhen said coldly: "I was my concubine earlier, and I was expelled later. ”

The man sighed slowly, "We are hard labor prisoners, even if we can have women, even if we are good, how dare we ask for anything else." I gave you a dressing, it should be fine, fortunately it didn't hurt your muscles and bones, you take care of your injuries, I will tell Deputy Lieutenant An that you are seriously injured, and ask him to allow you to rest for a few more days. ”

The man is gone.

Hu Xiangling squatted in front of the broken couch, looking at the grass that was half paved, and had to have a bed with a broken quilt, which was really not good, but fortunately it was warm in winter and cool in summer in the cave, stretching out his hand full of dust and ash, and actually grabbed two big white steamed buns.

Cao Yuzhen saw it, immediately snatched it, and devoured it.

Hu Xiangling lowered his head and swallowed his saliva, "I heard other people say that there are mountain fruits, wild dates, and wild pestles in the forest in the south, and I will have to pick them back another day, and it would be better if I could catch the hares......"

Cao Yuzhen glared and didn't answer, "You owe me." I'm injured now, I can't work, you have to feed me. ”

Someone to rely on, it's better than nothing, Hu Xiangling responded with a smile.

Hu Xiangling worked less for herself, someone could help her move ores, and sometimes she learned from the women in Qinglou and flattered them, so that there were really two people who were fooled, and they actually took the initiative to move her to move ores.

Cao Yuzhen was angry when she saw her like this, thinking that she was not her own woman, what did she blame for what she did?

After another half a year, Cao Yuzhen didn't hate Hu Xiangling so much.

She caught fish for him, caught river crabs for him, and even went down to the river to catch shrimp, and they ate together.

They are all miserable and pitiful people, who have relied on each other, and their lives seem to have some light.

In the fifteenth year of Tianxing, Emperor Yuwenxuan of Tianxing established the emperor's concubine Heng as the crown prince, granted amnesty to the world, and enjoyed with the people.

Cao Yuzhen and Hu Xiangling did hard labor in Baitakou for more than ten years, and they were finally able to return to the imperial city. It was clearly two men and women under forty, with a body as if they were fifty or sixty years old, and at that time there were already a few hairs on their temples, and there was a half-old child behind them, chasing them and calling "Daddy, Mother". This child has a black and red face, and he is also strong, with a slight shadow of Hu Xiangling in his eyebrows and eyes, and a vague appearance of Cao Yuzhen.

Hu Xiangling stood at the entrance of the streets and alleys that the palace must pass through on the left shoulder, looked left and right, wore clothes that were shabby but very clean, looked left and right, she inquired for several days, only to hear that in these years, the princess on the left shoulder of the first day of each month has to go to Tianlong Temple to burn incense, and on the fifteenth day of each month, she will go to the five grains to see incense.

Not long after, I saw a young boy coming over on a horse, behind him was a gorgeous carriage surrounded by guards and subordinates, swaying, and a girl's immature voice came from the carriage: "Mother, look! My sister bullied me again, and I stopped playing with her. ”

Xixi smiled shallowly, "Love to cry!" I'm just calling you a bully? I'm really convinced! ”

Xixi and Beibei are both under the long door of the Conscience Dao, Xixi is learning to set up formations, Beibei doesn't like anything, but he is very interested in making darts.

Sissip Suyan had the ability when she was a child, although she was not big, she could learn from her like a girl, and now she is eleven years old, and she has become more and more beautiful, and the Ling family said that she was very much like Ling Wei when she was young, and Ling Wei also loved Xixi.

Beibei is almost eight years old now, and he always likes to play behind Xixi, just like Yang Wenxin and Yang Wenya in the former Zhenguo Mansion, the sisters live in Sanssouci Pavilion, and they still refuse to live separately in the boudoir.

Su Yan didn't bother to pay attention to Beibei, so she had to make trouble.

Yaodong shouted: "What person? And I saw a country woman kneeling in the middle of the road, with a humble face, her head almost on the ground.

A half-old guard galloped over and looked at Hu Xiangling, he was Dou Ming, the son of Dou Yong and Bai Yan, who was sent to the imperial guard camp to learn martial arts when he was five or six years old, and now he is following Yaodong and being Yaodong's guard, but his martial arts are not as good as Yaodong.

Hu Xiangling said softly: "Slut Hu Xiangling, does the noble princess still remember the slut?" At the beginning of the year, the emperor granted amnesty to the world, and the slut returned to the imperial city with her husband and son...... begging for food from the princess, or being a slave, or a mother-in-law, but by the princess's send. ”

After Bai Zhu got married, gave birth to two sons, and returned to Qinsetang to be the housekeeper in Su Yan's house, at this moment exclaimed, "You are the Hu family", came out of the servant carriage behind, and looked at Hu Xiangling carefully, she and Su Yan were the same age, and now this comparison, the difference is not only a few years old, ten years old. I'm afraid that she is in her twenties, Su Yan has no worries, her husband cherishes her, and she is a famous "first talented girl" and "calligraphy and painting master" in Northern Qi, although she is in her thirties, she looks like she is only twenty-seven or eight years old at most.
