The thick winter clothes suddenly filled the icy river water, became heavy, and carried people down.

The black lanterns were untied with their bare hands, and the lotus-shaped lanterns flowed down the water. The boy who was suddenly pushed into the river was finally able to catch his breath, and he floated up from under the water, breathing heavily.

His complexion was pale from the water, and it was so white that it was transparent.

His wet hands were also cold, and his right hand was tightly grasping Xie Shuning's slender wrist.

The moment he fell into the river, he subconsciously grabbed the hand that pushed him.

Soon, the people on the shore would fall into the river with him.

At this moment, he was floating on the water, soaking wet, his face pale from the cold, and he was extremely embarrassed. Xie Shuning on the shore didn't ask for any favors. She lay on the ground, half of her body hung out of the riverbank, one hand was dragged by Yan Huai, and the other hand grabbed a few weeds on the ground with difficulty, her knuckles were white, and she used all her strength.

The expensive clothes rubbed against the ground, staining them.

At this time, the two of them still have the appearance of a young lady from a noble family, clearly like two stinky beggars arguing by the river, wearing dirty clothes, and rolling on the ground are not afraid of dirty......

Xie Shuning gritted her teeth: "Let go!" ”

If she had a sword in her hand, she would definitely immediately pull out the sword and stab it straight towards Yan Huai's heart.

A few years have passed, and the uncle who bears the name of the lord of Dunhuang City secretly sent many people to investigate the night of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. took advantage of the celebration to sneak into the ancient city of Dunhuang, and along the way, he took the people who poisoned Xie Shuning.

But to this day. They still haven't been able to find any usable leads.

The "little birds" all over Mobei brought back the news that was not satisfactory.

Xie Shuning also secretly guessed whether the person who stabbed her with a sword in the past had already returned to Huangquan at all, so no matter how they looked for it, they could never find its trace.

Until...... Yan Huai said that...... She knew that they had been in the wrong place from the beginning!

The murderer is far away in Kyoto. Song Yanzhao, who is outside the plug, how can he find him?

Xie Shuning struggled, almost annoyed and angry: "So that you can't understand people's words?" ”

The boy floating in the river looked at her with starry eyes. Under the wet water vapor, he sighed: "The depth of this river, no ......one can die," he said, and he had already dragged Xie Shuning and began to climb to the shore. Said on the side. "Miss Eight, you still hold on, if you fall, I'll ......"

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

Xie Shuning kicked him.

She couldn't break free of his hand, so she simply didn't struggle, she just sneered and got up, and kicked Yan Huai up at the moment when she was about to stand up.

The knee socket is bent. The person on the other side slipped under his feet, stepping on the slippery moss and residual frost and snow on the shore. Slid back into the river.

But that hand was still holding on tightly.

Xie Shuning barely stabilized his body, so he didn't ask himself to fall into the river with him and be a water duck in the middle of winter.

At this moment, a few people came drunk from a higher place not far away, and approached the river drunkenly, and one of them shouted, "Look at those lights, maybe there is a young lady in them for the lover!" ”

The others chimed in, their voices getting closer, and a few of them getting closer.

Xie Shuning tugged Yan Huai's hand, "Climb up!" ”

I didn't know that Yan Huai, who had drunk a few sips of cold river water without being prepared at all, coughed, as if he was about to climb up, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't kick this time?" ”

Xie Shuning paused: "Don't kick!" ”

Yan Huai climbed up with water all over his body.

At the moment when he climbed ashore, several drunkards who had come close suddenly shouted, "There are water ghosts," and staggered around and ran, falling several times along the way, and running as soon as they got up, not even daring to turn back.

After a while, the people ran away, and only a few panicked "water ghosts" remained, and the figures disappeared.

The two people who were left alone on the shore looked at each other, and Yan Huai suddenly sneezed heavily.

Xie Shuning was stunned, and then suddenly realized that their hands were still grabbed together, and he was furious: "Okay, you water ghost, do you still want to drag me down the river as a stand-in?" ”

She was ridiculing him for killing her when he met her by chance.

Yan Huai heard this, slowly let go of his hand, and regardless of the fact that his whole body was dripping water on the ground, he only said, "I did something wrong." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Shuning's words, which had been squeezed into his throat, suddenly couldn't find an outlet to vent. He was so easily mistaken...... Cunning, insidious, liar! Xie Shuning scolded him in her heart, but gradually, she calmed down a lot.

She took a step back, arranged her clothes with great grace, frowned, and said, "Since I have been hiding it for so long, it is better to keep it a secret, than to say it so that no one will be happy." ”

Yan Huai is speechless.

He couldn't hide it.

Because there are gradually more other tastes in my heart, these things that make people feel guilty when I think of them will gradually be unable to hide them in my heart, especially when facing her.

It was indeed his mistake in that incident.

He didn't speak, and Xie Shuning also closed his mouth.

Her temperament, even if it is not a retribution, will definitely not let go of those who have hurt her. She had even thought many times about what she would do to get revenge if one day she found the person who stabbed her with a sword and left a scar on her chest.

Torture him, kill him, vent your anger a little bit!

She planned everything in detail, but she didn't expect that person to be Yan Huai, who was also in Mobei at that time......

As if he had been struck by thunder, and as if his thoughts were distracted by the wind, Xie Shuning was inexplicably dazed.

"You and I don't have to see each other again in the future, if you want to return that sword, Grandpa Guo won't appear in front of me again in the future." She stepped back with a cold expression. He saved Lukong's father and son, and he said he had saved her. But he did, and almost killed her.

The current situation really puts her in a dilemma.

Simply. If you don't see it, it's

She didn't dare to guarantee that the next time she saw him, she would be able to bear not to return his sword.

With that, she grabbed her skirt and ran into the distance, and her figure disappeared into the dim light.

Yan Huai was looking down and twisting the hem of his dripping clothes, stunned when he heard the words, and waited until he raised his head. The man had run away, and he wanted to chase after him, but he took the step back again.

He muttered under his breath. "It seems that sometimes you shouldn't tell the truth......"

But when the truth has been spoken, it is like water, and it cannot be taken back.

Xie Shuning was shocked and angry. Partial survival must also focus on the overall situation. endured, so he had to go desperately and go to the place where he had made an appointment with Xie Yi.

There were only a few scattered people left in front of the stall, and Xie Yi and his party were afraid that they had gone out to watch the lanterns and had not come back yet.

Xie Shuning stood under the tree and waited for the people to come back, bored, and couldn't help but kick the trunk lightly, shaking the remnants of snow hanging on the branches one after another. Fell on the neck and was terribly cold.

She didn't have to wait long. Turan squeezed through the crowd with the lamp, which did not look like her, and walked towards her.

As soon as they met, Turan widened his eyes and asked her, "Miss, did Cheng Guogong go swimming?" ”

Xie Shuning glared, and she was short of words.

"My clothes and hair are all wet, and I don't look like him at all." Turan shook his head, "Jixiang was scared silly. ”

Xie Shuning laughed dryly twice, and said, "Take some broken silver to the owner of the Lantern Festival stall, leave a message for my brother and them, and we will go back to the house first." ”

Turan also saw the lights, and even bought the rabbit lantern she liked, and now that Xie Shuning was safe and sound, he smiled even more, and ran to talk to the boss in response.

As soon as the matter was dealt with, Xie Shuning took Turan back to Xie's house first.

After returning to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she took off her clothes, shoes and socks and was about to rest, so shocked that a group of people thought she was uncomfortable, and was busy inviting Lukong to come, so that Xie Shuning explained again and again that she was just tired, and everyone was relieved.

When she rested in the inner room, Zhuo's mother picked up the clothes she had changed and looked at them, and when she saw that there was mud on them, she asked Turan in surprise: "Are you going to the field to see the lanterns?" ”

Turan Zhengse: "How can it be, it's the lamp that you see on the street in the East City!" ”

Zhuo's mother frowned, "Looking at the lights on the street, where can you rub so much mud?" She muttered a few words, and knew that Turan couldn't say anything if she asked her again, so she didn't ask, and only sent her to Xie Shuning for the night.

In the inner room, Xie Shuning was lying on the hot kang, covered with a thick and warm quilt, her eyes closed, but she couldn't sleep.

Her mind was chaotic, and she couldn't figure out her thoughts, like a hunter who had strayed into a dense forest, holding an arrow in her hand, and knew that she was going to hunt the animal, but suddenly hesitated because the animal was familiar to her. So much so that she lay quietly on the pillow, full of worries, no matter what, she couldn't sleep peacefully.

After this night, she really didn't see Yan Huai again.

But things about him still often reach her ears inadvertently.

Turan and Jixiang met occasionally, and Turan didn't hide it from her, and he carried a sword with him when he went back and forth, this girl couldn't lie, and she did go to learn.

Xie Shuning couldn't bear to forbid her to see Jixiang again.

***

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the time has entered April.

From midwinter to late spring, it is so fast that people have no time to look back on the past. After a few bursts of warmth and cold, there is more summer in the air, and the spring is old.

Xie Yuanmao was out of service, but the errand had not yet been decided, and he was so anxious every day that he was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was restless.

These days, Emperor Su Fang is also quite wrong, and he spends less and less time on court politics. I heard that he has recently been obsessed with women, and even the imperial concubine Bai, who has been favored for many years, is not afraid of his meat and vegetarian food, and he is quite suspicious of his behavior of pulling him on the dragon bed no matter what kind of goods he has.

But he is the emperor, who can help him with this little hobby.

These days, there is only one thing left to make Xie Shuning happy.

The letter she wrote to her uncle Song Yanzhao last year finally got a reply, and the letter also said that her cousin Shu Yan would lead the caravan to Kyoto in the near future. (To be continued......)
