Chapter Twenty-Three: Reminiscing About the Past (Part II)

The two chatted for a while, and after a while, they finished turning Zhuangzi, but Li Zexuan was a little reluctant at the moment.

"Miss Han, where do you usually go to pick wild fruits?" Li Zexuan, who was reluctant to part, began to say without words.

Han Yuxi pointed to the mountain behind them and said, "It's on that mountain." ”

Li Zexuan looked at her white fingers, saw that the hill was densely wooded, and said, "Aren't you afraid to go alone?" What if you encounter a beast like a tiger? ”

Han Yuxi said with a smile: "A few years ago, there were indeed some fierce tigers and beasts in this mountain, but in those years, the world was in turmoil, and the harvest was not good, and many people in the village were starving. ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he said, "Oh, then let's go to the mountain and have a look." ”

Han Yuxi nodded in agreement.

The two walked towards the mountain, and a few peach blossoms bloomed at the foot of the mountain, which was very beautiful. A few butterflies are dancing among the wildflowers on the side of the road, and a few birds are also chasing each other in the mountains and jungles.

"Miss Han, there is a question I don't know whether to ask or not." Li Zexuan asked.

"If the young master has something to say, he will say it, and Yu Xi knows everything."

Li Zexuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why didn't I see your mother at your house?" ”

Han Yuxi's face instantly turned a little pale when he heard this, and a thick sadness flashed in his eyes, Li Zexuan immediately apologized when he saw it: "I'm sorry, Miss Han, I'm presumptuous, don't be sad." ”

Han Yuxi shook his head and was silent for a while before he said: "My mother died of dystocia after giving birth to an iron egg, I was seven years old at the time, my father was still fighting on the front line, in order to feed my younger brother, I went to help Master Liu's family in Mei Village next to me to herd cattle and sheep, feed horses and chop firewood, and buy goat's milk for my younger brother to drink when I make money."

This old man Liu's family is the previous master of Hanjiazhuang, he is very harsh, and often bullies the villagers in the village, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, afraid that the landlord Liu will not plant the field for us.

Tie Dan was very naughty when he was a child, and he cried when I left, so I had to take him to work. Later, when I couldn't hold on anymore, my dad finally came back. It was when I was nine years old, that is, in the sixth year of Wude, and my father came back with a limp leg.

My father joined the army in the first year of Wude, and was later transferred to the command of General Qin as a personal guard. In the sixth year of Wude, the Turks attacked our Tang border, and my father accompanied General Qin to fight.

Later, I heard from my father that in a pursuit battle, the Qin general was ambushed by the Turks. She Eryu tried to shoot General Qin with a bow and arrow in the enemy's army, but my father rushed to the horse at a critical moment and flew to knock General Qin down, but the arrow pierced my father's thigh.

At that time, I couldn't care about healing, my father limped and followed General Qin to fight to kill the enemy, just when General Wei Chi led the army to help, my father and General Qin fought their way out of the siege and annihilated the enemy with the reinforcements.

After returning to the camp, although the arrow wound on my father's leg was cured, due to the late treatment, his right leg was disabled, and it was difficult to return to the battlefield. My father knew that General Qin would definitely not abandon him, but my father was unwilling to drag General Qin down, so he left a letter and came back secretly. ”

With Han Yuxi's memories, Li Zexuan's thoughts also returned to the era when the war was raging and human life was like a mustard, and he also admired a tough guy like Han Lizheng in his heart.

No wonder he saw a Mo knife at Han Lizheng's house before, but he didn't expect that he was also a respectable Tang soldier. I didn't expect Han Yuxi to be weak on the outside, but so strong on the inside, when he was seven years old, he was alone to support his infant brother, and the hardships and hardships can be imagined.

Li Zexuan saw that Han Yuxi still had sadness in his eyes, and couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and said, "Miss Han, don't be sad, at least you, Tie Dan, and your father are all doing well now, and your mother will definitely be relieved if you know it." Besides, with me, the people of Hanjiazhuang will get better and better in the future. ”

Li Zexuan didn't know how to go on talking about it, and he wasn't very good at comforting people.

"Poof!" Seeing Li Zexuan racking his brains to think of words to comfort her, Han Yuxi couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled: "I just comforted the young master, but I didn't expect the young master to come to comfort me again at this time." ”

Hearing Han Yuxi say this, Li Zexuan thought about it and felt quite interesting, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let's not comfort each other." We will be happy in the future, so that our ancestors who loved us can leave with peace of mind. ”

Han Yuxi agreed softly: "Hmm." At this time, she sensed the weight on her shoulder, it turned out that Li Zexuan's hand had been on her shoulder, Han Yuxi turned her head to look, and immediately blushed.

Li Zexuan followed her gaze, only then did he find his claws, and secretly blamed himself for forgetting to take it down when he just patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, of course, he forgot to take it down, or he was reluctant to take it down at that time, which is not enough for outsiders.

Feeling the body temperature of the fingertips, smelling the fragrance of Han Yuxi's daughter, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. But seeing that the tears in the corners of Han Yuxi's eyes had not yet dried, Li Zexuan secretly scolded himself, hurriedly took his hand down, and explained embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was trying to comfort you just now, I didn't mean to." ”

Han Yuxi's face turned even redder when she heard this, she held her little hands, looked down at her toes, and said softly: "It's okay, Yuxi knows that the young master is not a frivolous person." ”

The ambiguous atmosphere permeated the mountains, and Li Zexuan didn't know what to say at the moment. Although he had a girlfriend in his previous life, he met on the Internet, and he was still stupid when he spoke in reality, and he was an authentic otaku.

Unlike the big carrot in his dormitory, when he sees his sister paper in three or two sentences, he can make the other party's heart bloom, and he can't wait to make a promise immediately, he has always been very envious of his roommate's ability to flirt with his sister, but this thing is enviable.

Han Yuxi naturally can't speak, she is also in turmoil at the moment, Li Zexuan is tall, handsome, and very gentle to her, although she can't talk about how deep her love for Li Zexuan is, after all, they have only been together for a day, but she still has a good impression of Li Zexuan.

After a long time, Li Zexuan finally broke the silence and said, "Miss Han, let's go down the mountain, it's not too early, and I should go home too." ”

When Han Yuxi heard this, his face darkened slightly, and he was a little lost for no reason, he didn't know when he would see each other today, and he responded in a low voice: "Hmm! ”

The two walked side by side towards the bottom of the mountain.?
