The white copper spurs on Tao Xiang's boots tinkled with his footsteps, and the "bell" was covered by a "bell", making him act like a huge black shadow, more like an eagle with its wings retracted.

He walked in the porch and stood.

"Seven less?" Tu Huyi saw Tao Xiang standing still and asked in a low voice.

Tao Xiang waved his hand and walked forward.

Tu Huyi turned around and gave the command to the attendants to disperse their guards.

Tao Xiang slowed down.

The lanterns on the porch hang high, and the light is not far away.

He walked slowly up the steps of the porch.

The steps were shallow and wide, and his steps were a little uncoordinated, not the usual pace and specifications—all the regulations here forced people to slow down—so he slowed down.

The garden is dotted with old pear trees. There is no road, and wherever the people who look at the flowers go, there is the road.

Tao Xiang looked at Jingyi.

The rosy color faded away, hidden in the woods.

He stood high, but the light couldn't shine that far.

"Uncle?" Qiu Wei shouted softly.

Tao Xiang nodded.

Qiu Wei was naturally surprised when she saw him. But then he replied calmly and politely, and invited him inside, saying that she would invite the young lady immediately......

Tao Xiang waved his hand and followed.

Qiu Wei watched Tao Xiang walk up the stone steps in front of the house into the garden. She rubbed her hands together a little bewildered. A few steps away, Tu Huyi was standing, she saw him, the two of them looked at each other, and turned away in unison. They were stunned for a moment before they sighed at the same time.

"Why did you arrive all of a sudden?" Qiu Wei asked in a low voice. The wind had just stopped, and the yellow sand was all over the sky in the afternoon, and the road must not be clear. Those winding mountain roads, cliffs, how dangerous. "The old ladies and sisters all say that the uncle is going to fight again......"

Tu Huyi was silent for a while before he said, "It may be that there is going to be a war, and the seventh young man only came." ”

Qiu Wei was stunned.

Tu Huyi sighed and said, "You can rest, it's better that no one is in front of you now." ”

Qiu Wei understands this. She was just about to leave, but she stood down again and looked at Tuhuyi.

"Isn't Xinjiang far away?" She asked.

Tu Huyi nodded.

"You're going all the way there?" She asked again.

During the day, she watched as the young lady spread out a map and marked it. She watched from the side, only recognizing that the mark she had made started from Lanzhou. Lanzhou - Dunhuang - Dihua (Wu 61 Lu 61 Muqi) ...... Ili is the farthest place...... And when Miss looked at the map a while ago, she didn't look here.

Tu Huyi did not answer.

"I went." Qiu Wei said.

Tu Huyi watched her pretty and slender figure move away, and suddenly wanted to stop her, thinking that he still had a task to do, so he held back. In a blink of an eye, he looked for Tao Xiang.

Tao Xiang's boots were soft and sloppy on the dirt, and there was no sound at all. There was a hint of sweetness in the air. At this time, even if the pear orchard is in full bloom, there will be no fragrance of flowers. As I walked, the sweet fragrance was a little stronger.

He sniffed. It should be the smell of Western cosmetics. He had always hated the smell of fat powder. I can't look at a woman who always makes another face for herself.

The smell is not annoying.

Jingyi seemed to feel that there was another wind behind her. She turned, bowed her head, and walked slowly. There seemed to be soil particles in the shoes, and Jingyi regretted wearing these thin-soled soft shoes to come out. She bowed her head. White embroidered shoes, soft silk. Embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks. When Qiao's mother prepared these for her, she said, Miss, these shoes are good to wear and sleep. How soft it is...... She just stepped out like that!

It's all the fault of a moment of upset.

Jingyi held the pear tree in her hand, took off an embroidered shoe, and shook it, as if something had fallen to the ground. Shiny.

She looked down. It turned out that the earrings had fallen off.

She touched her earlobe, it was cool. Just as she was about to pick it up, a dark shadow swept over and grabbed the little thing in her hand before she did.

Jingyi was frightened, hurriedly held on to the tree, and the shoes in her hand fell.

Tao Xiang squatted down again, and the embroidered shoe was also in his hand.

He wears snow-white gloves on his hands.

A diamond earring in the palm of the left hand and an embroidered shoe in the right hand.

In the dark moonlight, you can still see clearly.

Jingyi's heart was pounding. She involuntarily took a step back, her head touching the flower branch, her hair tangled around the pear blossom bone. She wanted to dodge, but she was even tighter, her scalp hurt a little, and her heart became more and more anxious...... I didn't care that there was no one of the shoes on my feet, so I just wanted to retreat.

She heard the sound of flower branches breaking behind her, and couldn't help but be stunned - Tao Xiang in front of her, in the hazy moonlight, didn't look very real, it seemed to be just a dark shadow. The cockade of the ship-shaped military hat shone with a little light, but the light was not as bright as the eyes hidden deep under the brim...... Jing Yi's heart trembled.

He had her things in his hands. Earrings, embroidered shoes...... Jingyi bit her lower lip.

She hesitated and reached out to ask for it. But there was no sound.

Tao Xiang watched Jingyi's hand reach over.

With a slender hand, he grabbed the embroidered shoes. He didn't let go, and Jingyi didn't pull his shoes. couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. She saw that Tao Xiao didn't mean to return the things to her, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and anxious, and her face suddenly felt hot.

"Give me back." She was about to withdraw her hand, but it was held by Tao Xiang. He was wearing gloves, and the cotton was a little hard, but it still passed the temperature of his hands.

Jingyi was held tightly by him, as if her heart was suddenly wrapped in something, and her breath was choked.

Tao Xiang withdrew his arm.

Jingyi was taken into his arms.

Jing Yi only had time to bend his arms and prop them on his chest, and this sudden approach made the flavors of the two people mix together. She could smell the cold smell of him, mixed with the pungent smell of horse sweat, gunfire, and metal; He sucked the sweet mist from her deeper......

Jing Yi opened his mouth slightly, his arms propped up on his chest, and through his clothes, his powerful heartbeat made her panic.

She pushed him hard, with a cold face, refusing to give in.

Tao Xiang lowered his head and found her lips accurately. The arms were tightened, and the hand holding the embroidered shoes and earrings was clasped on Jingyi's back.

The kiss was extremely hard.

Jingyi only felt that she was constantly retreating with Tao Xiang, and finally, her back was against a hard thing, rough and warm. His hand was also on her back, holding her firmly between his body and the pear tree. Kissed her hard, without relaxation.

After a moment of confusion, Jingyi came to her senses - it was outside, and he kissed her so carelessly...... What should I do if someone sees me...... She was anxious to escape from Tao Xiang's confinement, her legs struggling and kicking...... Tao Xiang turned sideways and let her toss, but she didn't move. Jingyi finally felt confused again...... Tao Xiang found that he left her gently; His gloved hand rested on her chin.

Jingyi's hands gripped the pear tree's trunk tightly, her nails digging into the rough bark, as if something was piercing her skin...... She blinked. The heat of tears is carried away by the cold air at any time, and the face is even colder. Jaws slammed away, avoiding his grasp.

"What are you doing here?" Her throat was dumb.

"Jingyi." He called her in a low voice, "I went to see Pu Lao that day." ”

Tao Xiang pulled the broken branch from between her hair. Dropped on the ground.

"Pu Lao is hospitalized, no matter how busy I am, I have to take the time to see him." He said.

"It's none of my business...... Jingyi said.

"Since it's none of your business, don't worry about it." Tao Xiang whispered.

Jingyi froze for a moment, realizing what he was talking about. The turmoil in her heart suddenly worsened, and she just lowered her head to leave. As soon as he stepped out, he found a bare foot, and he couldn't help but stare at him. Tao Xiang returned the shoes to her.

She snatched it up, and the man almost fell to the side. Fortunately, Tao Xiang was quick and grabbed her.

"You want me to dress you?" He whispered.

"Don't!" She said immediately. Put your shoes on with your feet cocked.

He took her hand and waited for her to put on her shoes, a rare look of extreme patience.

Jingyi wears shoes with one hand, which is not convenient. But he never let go of her hand and gave her this convenience.

She was still a little annoyed and a little unreasonable...... But none of this made him unhappy.

He surprised her even more like this.

She stood in front of him, about to leave, and he said, "Wait." ”

Tao Xiang stretched out his hand and held the diamond earring in his palm. He raised his hand and brushed her hair on both sides, and when he saw that one earlobe was empty, he took the earring and gently hung it on her. He tilted his head and looked at it, and said, "Lose it." ”

Jingyi looked at him as if she was stunned, his eyebrows moved, and she turned her eyes away.

Under the quiet moonlight, in the silent pear blossoms, Tao Xiao took Jingyi's hand, moved her steps lightly, and went back to the room with her.

Although they walked slowly, Jingyi's heartbeat was forced by the slow rhythm.

The door opened with a slight touch, and the moment she stepped into the threshold, Tao Xiang closed the door with his hand, picked her up, and walked through the two doors into the inner room. He closed the carved door next to the bed with his hand. Jingyi was pushed down by him and struggled to sit up again. She stared at Tao Xiang standing on the floor.

She watched as General Tao Xiang took off his cloak and threw it on the hanger next to him, revealing his dark gray military uniform. A little higher, a little deeper...... His ashes are so deep. She had never noticed that his clothes were so dark that they seemed to drown her out.

"Nope." Jing Yi's throat was dry, "That, Tao Xiang, I'...... I really ......."

Tao Xiang took off his coat, revealing his white shirt. He paused for a moment and looked at her.

Jingyi jumped off the bed, her face full of embarrassment, and said, "Then, you...... You sleep here, I'll ......."

He stood in her way, and suddenly laughed sullenly. The laughter swirled above her.

Jingyi thought she had misheard and couldn't help but look up.

"Is it just inconvenient?" Tao Xiang pinched his waist, his shining eyes stared at Jing Yi's red face. "Aren't you angry and don't want to be next to me?"

"Hmm. Angry...... I'm not angry, really. Jing Yi's big eyes were moist. He looked over, and she turned her face away...... Seeing that she was embarrassed, Tao Xiang smiled, walked to the table, took out the teapot from the warm bag, and poured a cup of tea for himself.

"Grandma isn't here?" He asked.

"Still watching. It's a bad day, so I didn't come back. Jingyi replied.

"Auntie, grandma, are they all okay?" He asked again.

"It's all good." Jingyi said.

Tao Xiao nodded and drank tea silently.

Jing Yi relaxed, walked to his side two or three steps away, and looked at him—dusty, with dirt on the ends of his hair. He looked a little tired, compared to the wolf-like momentum just now, he was drinking warm tea at this time, which made her feel that he was also warm like the tea soup...... Tao Xiang saw that she was silent for a long time, and when he saw that she was looking at herself, she came over, kissed her on the lips, and said, "This tea is good." It turned out that I kept the good things and enjoyed them for myself. ”

His light kiss had a refreshing tea aroma, which familiarly softened her heart.

She was stunned and forgot to hide, so he kissed him again...... This time on his chin, the smooth skin seemed to stick to his lips.

He lifted his hand and rubbed her chin. The fingers were also glued for a moment.

"I'm going to take a shower." He said.

"Wait, I'll have someone boil hot water...... "She was about to call someone.

"I use cold water." He said. Looking at her face at this time, the red tide receded, and she was very pale, "If you want to be sleepy, go to bed first, don't wait for me." ”

Jing Yi watched him turn around and enter the bathroom. It's very familiar. She was still stunned, a little at a loss. When she heard the sound of water, splashing on the ground, and the torrential rain, she panicked even more...... She looked at the bedroom, where the gauze lamps were lit, and as her gaze flowed, there seemed to be a gentle flame everywhere...... She stared at the sturdy shelf bed of the small room and took a deep breath,

Jingyi hid on the bed, pulled open the quilt, didn't take off her clothes, and wrapped herself in the quilt...... After a while, she turned sideways and turned out the bedside light.

The bed is dim.

The bed tent is dense and opaque.

The sound of the water had stopped, and she could hear Tao Xiang's footsteps, coming out of the back room, walking over, and walking over again. With his footsteps, the shadow on the bed tent was also thick and faint...... Her heart beat with a rapid, a gentle beat. Until there was no movement outside and the lights went out. The lights gradually went out, and the light and shadow became darker and darker until it was completely dark.

Jingyi still can't sleep well.

Her stomach ached faintly, and the pain was unbearable, so she had to get up and go to find the hand warmer that Qiu Wei had prepared for her.

I didn't touch it for a long time, and I felt cold when I came out of the bed. She glanced at the closed door, turned around and pulled out a silk quilt from the bedside table, and took advantage of the glimmer to go out to find Tao Xiang's location.

Tao Xiang really slept on the south kang outside.

Only a blanket was covered. Jingyi reached out and touched it, and the kang was cold. She immediately wanted to wake Tao Xiang up. But the moment his hand was about to touch Tao Xiang's shoulder, he stopped. She covered the quilt in her hand with Tao Xiang, and was about to leave, when a faint smell of tobacco and refreshing soap hit, her wrist was pulled, and as soon as she was brought over, she was wrapped in a warm breath, so she was stuffed into a hand warmer in her hand. Hot. Her hands and hearts warmed at the same time, and he had let go.

She listened to Tao Xiang get off the kang and knew that he had wrapped himself in a blanket and gone inside. She followed in, and saw that he was already taking off his boots and going to bed, and seeing that she was still standing, he patted the edge of the bed, and without making a sound, he got into bed and got into the bed and lay down.

Jingyi hugged the hand warmer. The hot hand warmer was attached to her lower abdomen, and although she was separated from her shirt and pants, she still felt comfortable for a while. She didn't turn off the lights, but turned the kerosene lamp to a smaller flame that would shine on his face...... She went to bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and still hugged the hand warmer.

Tao Xiang's breathing had already sunk, and she thought he was asleep.

There was still a chill on his body...... It's really cold outside.

She pulled the quilt over him and covered his shoulders. The quilt is a bit heavy. Qiu Wei was afraid that she would be cold, so what she took out was a ten-pound quilt on the bed...... She lay down slowly, and was about to relax, but Tao Xiang rolled over, came out of his quilt, and got into her quilt.

She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.

He just held her in his arms, picked her belt with his fingers, gently lowered it a little, put his palm on her lower abdomen, and asked, "Is this here?" ”

It took her a long time before she knew she had to nod.

He did still have some cold on his body, but his palms were really hot, and he gently rubbed them for her......

When the pain subsided, she fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long later, I heard a voice outside.

As if she was calling "Seven Youth", she suddenly opened her eyes, stretched out her hand, and found that Tao Xiang was no longer in bed. Sure enough, she heard the sound of water.

She hurriedly put on her slippers and got out of bed, went around to the back, the bathroom door was open, and she saw that Tao Xiao had already washed up, standing in front of the dressing mirror and fastening the buttons of her blouse.

"Let's sleep a little longer." He said.

"I'm fine." Jing Yi thought that he might not have slept well last night, and looked at him, his face was hot.
