Volume 41 The Interrupted Night Talk

PS: Hu Luzheng said that as long as the horse is always in heat, after this period of freshness, I have to come back and mix with the brothers. Then he twisted his waist on his horse, and sang exaggeratedly:

Brother rode a horse and walked on the mountainside,

The mountainside is covered with sagebrush.

Brother's heart is itchy,

Not because of the grass.

Then he deliberately raised his voice to learn a woman's voice:

My sister is waiting for my brother to come on the mountain,

The bees are coming, and my brother is not coming.

The bee knows that my sister is a flower,

Why didn't my brother pick it yet?

lest people don't understand the deep meaning, he repeated it again:

The bee knows that my sister is a flower,

Why didn't my brother pick it yet?

The indulgent imagination of the soldier burst into laughter.

With Xiaoqiao, everyone can't go fast.

In fact, Guo Xu was not in a hurry to rush back to Chang'an in his heart. He was willing to walk by the little carriage forever. The curtain of the carriage was hanging, and Xiao Qiao might occasionally open the curtain to look out and smile at him. The meaning of this smile to Guo Xu is like the meaning of sunlight to the stars. The stars shine all night, and Guo Xu also nourishes all the way.

In the past, Guo Xu would walk side by side with his brothers, talking and laughing all the way, but this time he was hanging alone in front of him, as if hanging on a carriage. Hu Luzheng, Mung Bean, and the madman followed from afar, making fun of him in a whisper. The madman said that he didn't see it, this is the so-called heavy color and light friends. Mung Bean said that this has not yet passed the door, it has been tied to the woman's belt, and I don't know how much I will be afraid of it in the future. Hu Luzheng said that as long as the horse is always in heat, after this fresh energy, he has to come back to mix with the brothers. Then he twisted his waist on the horse. Singing exaggeratedly:

Brother rode a horse and walked on the mountainside,

The mountainside is covered with sagebrush.

My brother is itching.

Not because of the grass.

Then he deliberately raised his voice to learn a woman's voice:

My sister is waiting for my brother to come on the mountain,

The bees are coming, and my brother is not coming.

The bee knows that the girl is a flower.

Why didn't my brother pick it yet?

lest people don't understand the deep meaning, he repeated it again:

The bee knows that my sister is a flower,

Why didn't my brother pick it yet?

The indulgent imagination of the soldier burst into laughter. Guo Xu turned his face and wanted to scold, but when he saw the way they leaned forward and backwards on the horse, and then thought about the flirting between men and women in Hu Luzheng's minor tune, he couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoqiao was in the car, listening to the lyrics of Hu Lvzheng with her ears pricked up. Measured by the poetry of the southerners, although it is vulgar. But it has its own fresh and luxurious atmosphere. The last sentence has already been decorated, seeking a pun, but it is already so bold that Cheng Dù makes Xiaoqiao blush. Hu Luzheng this person, she had seen it in Abogan's tent, and roughly knew that he had saved Abogan's life, and was later captured, but she didn't expect that she was now Guo Xu's friend, and she was escorting herself with heavily armed soldiers, and she couldn't help but sigh that the relationship between people was indescribable. The context of things and things, cause and effect, rabbits rise and fall. Thinking of the bloody and tearful past that he was about to spread out to Guo Xu, he was both sad and melancholy.

When the sun was in the west, the people stopped in a big town called Yingjia west of Huaxian. I don't know what big names have been welcomed here in the past. Anyway, tonight, Guo Xu and his entourage will be a big ride. Unexpectedly, when I went to the post station, there was more than one family, and all the rooms were filled with military and political officials from all walks of life from Jiangdong. Although Guo Xu is big and small, he is also an official. But it is impossible to pull a smaller official out of the house and occupy it blatantly.

I can only vote for the inn. There are two inns in town. The family was full, and even the firewood room was packed out to live in. Reasoning accordingly. The other was also nervous. Sure enough, the guy said Master Jun, you move quickly, there was originally a spare room, and an official family like you was ready to move in quickly, but someone just went to the boss to theorize and wanted to live in that room.

When Guo Xu found the boss, the latter was talking to an old man, there was a woman next to the old man, who was very beautiful, Guo Xu glanced at it, and couldn't help but look at it again. At second glance, I found that her waist was a little weird, looking at her neck and shoulders, looking at her hands and feet, it should be an extremely slender figure, but her lower abdomen was bulging. On second thought, this is a pregnant woman who has already become pregnant. The innkeeper said that this room was originally reserved for the official family, and since you brought a pregnant woman, I will make an exception for you. The bed in this room is enough for two people, but such a big daughter, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to sleep in the same bed with a father. The pregnant woman listened and bowed her head. The old man said with a little embarrassment that as long as my daughter has a place to sleep, it is enough, I don't even need to enter the house, I just squint under the eaves for a night. Guo Xu saw this situation and knew that he couldn't compete for the room with the pregnant woman, so he could only let Xiaoqiao spend the night in the car. Only then did he step out of the threshold, his mind moved, and he turned to bow to the old man:

"My sister has nowhere to stay tonight, and those two can't let her and your daughter stay in the same room, and they can take care of each other."

The old man looked at Guo Xu's armor, turned his head to look at the pregnant woman, and said Daughter, do you think it is appropriate. Although she said that she was a daughter, her body, hands and feet were very restrained, and her expression was extremely humble, even a careless person like Guo Xu noticed it. Thinking about the fact that a father can't sleep in the same bed with his daughter, but he can't live in the same room, it's too old-fashioned.

The pregnant woman glanced at Guo Xu's face, and then at the sword on his waist, hesitated slightly, and whispered that it is not easy to go out, just let your sister live with me.

Xiaoqiao didn't want to live in the same bed with a stranger, but she had been bumpy in the car for a day, if she really curled up in the car and slept overnight, it would be uncomfortable to think about it, and she didn't want to brush off the kindness of others, and she didn't want Guo Xu to feel that she was difficult to serve, so she agreed.

As soon as the two women met, they felt that each other was clean and beautiful, and they did not aggrieved themselves by sleeping in the same bed. After a few words of greeting, Xiaoqiao's eyelids fought, and she fell asleep first. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the sound of a muffled cry, thinking that she was in a dream, but the cry was so clear that it was not a dream.

The pregnant woman next to her, with her back to Xiaoqiao, was crying.

Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted her shoulder:

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

said she was pregnant, but in fact she was just a little girl under the age of twenty. At this moment, he turned around, dragged the quilt to wipe his tears, and said that he had disturbed his sister. Also look at Haihan. After speaking, he turned around and made it clear that he didn't want to talk and sleep.

Little Pretty fell. But there was no sleepiness. She remembered that she had woken up from her dreams countless times before, and then remembered what Guo Xu had said about his grandfather's life experience. There is more than one person who feels the turmoil and displacement, and the dedicated bedmate may be a pair of hard-working people, not only full of sympathy for this girl who met in Pingshui.

She was lost in thought, not noticing that she sighed. The girl was evidently not asleep, and said faintly at this moment:

"Can't my sister sleep too?"

This question opened the conversation box of the two women.

The girl said that her surname was Mei, and her husband was a big businessman of the Qin State, who died a while ago. She was already pregnant, and after her husband died, she went to her mother's house in Zhongnanshan to give birth. But a few days ago, my mother's house was ransacked by Yao Qin's rout, and my father's house was burned down, and now I have to go east to Tongguan and go to my uncle, and I don't know what the situation is on my uncle's side. As soon as the child is born without a father, I am afraid that he will not have a very good family background, and every time he thinks of this, the pain is unbearable.

What Miss Mei heard was that a small businessman in the south of the Yangtze River was in the middle of the road, and his mother died of illness. There is no news from her brother, and the weak woman goes north to find her relatives and goes through hardships, and finally encounters the poignant story of the person she likes. One is bitter and sweet, and the other is sweet and then bitter. In the end, it will be a matter of sympathy.

"Miss Sun, is your brother Jin Jun?"

Xiao Qiao felt guilty in her heart, and secretly said that she was a team leader of the Beifu soldiers. Listening to the words of the officials, I don't know what I'm doing.

Miss Mei is sensitive. Say this immediately, I know, don't think I'm going to hate Jin Jun. The Jin army defeated the Qin army. The Qin army burned my house, this is true, but the fire in my house was not lit by the Jin army after all, let alone your brother. I see that he has a good face and no scheming, otherwise he would not have agreed to let you live in. If you want to say that my man's death has nothing to do with your brother, he is a soldier, just listen to Shangfeng's words, what kind of grudge can they have against each other? It's just that these thousands of people died, all of them were young, and they left before they tasted the sweetness of being a human being. It's just a matter of leaving behind so many orphans and widows, creating evil!

Xiaoqiao stretched out her hand to hug Miss Mei, stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and suddenly her heart moved, and said that if you don't go to Tongguan, you can go back to Chang'an with us. We can live closer to each other, so we can take care of it.

Miss Mei seemed to be taken aback by this sentence, and said again and again. Xiao Qiao suddenly realized that she was reckless. Although Miss Mei herself said that her husband was a big businessman, it was not necessarily true. The people who died in this period are either on the battlefield or on the execution ground, who knows what her man is from. If that person was a Yao Qin official or even a member of the royal family, then his widow's best strategy now was to flee from Chang'an far away, avoid the catastrophe of killing, and leave her blood for her husband, while he persuaded her to return to the net. Hurriedly said that I am actually afraid that you are an old man and a pregnant woman, and you will be in turmoil. My brother came to pick me up the day before yesterday, and he met bandits on the way, you two are powerless, what if you run into these people?

Miss Mei listened in a daze and said thank you sister for her kindness. When we escaped from Zhongnan Mountain, we figured it out, if God took pity on this hard-working child, he would naturally turn evil into good fortune. That day, when those rout soldiers were robbing things at home, a few of them wanted to spoil me, and when I was forced into a corner, a big soldier came out and said that we were just going to grab some money to go back to support our family, and spoil a pregnant woman, are we still men, where can we still see our wives when we go back? As a result, the soldiers stopped. At that time, I believed that there was no way to heaven. Now I'm not afraid of anything. If Providence really wants to destroy this bit of his father's blood and bones, so that he does not have any smell left, then I would rather destroy it with the child. If we really get to that point, it's nothing more than our family of three reuniting underground, wouldn't it be good?

A weak woman, squeezed so hard by the plague, Xiaoqiao hugged her, tears falling on her hair. In this inn on the wandering road, two strange women, one who has just lost her husband and the other who has just accepted her lover, are gathered together in the same bed. Thinking that this woman has endured the great pain that a woman can bear, and has to face an unpredictable future, he secretly prayed that God would bless the fetus with the best boy, and grow up to protect the mother who is suffering and leave a root for the family. Thinking so, forget about the taboo:

"Does the child take his father's surname or his mother's surname?"

Before Miss Mei could answer, someone suddenly coughed outside the window, and an old voice said:

"Daughter, both of you have to rush tomorrow, and the child in your belly also needs to be born, don't talk about it, go to sleep quickly!"

He actually stomped his foot, and then walked away.

Miss Mei said that my father was unhappy, let's sleep.

Xiao Qiao was frightened by that cough. Obviously, the old man was not at ease, so he came over to eavesdrop under the window, and when he heard "whose surname does the child have", he realized that the topic was already dangerous, so he was afraid that his daughter would lose too much, so he intervened in time to terminate the night talk.

She lay down, gently touched Miss Mei's back, and said Don't worry, the war has stopped, and it will be fine as soon as possible. Let's say okay, when we settle down, we must come and go often and continue this fate.

Miss Mei sighed and said okay.

This time, Xiaoqiao slept very deeply.

At dawn, she opened her eyes and saw that her side was empty.

Could it be that I woke up too late?

I got up and opened the window to look out, and found that it was actually just getting dark.

suddenly understood that the night talk last night had frightened the old man a lot. He may be afraid that Xiaoqiao will get up early and talk to his brother, which will arouse the suspicion of this Beifu military officer, in case he digs it down and causes a catastrophe, so he woke up his daughter before dawn and left early. Xiaoxiao even suspected that they didn't dare to go to Tongguan again, for fear that if they had to change directions, they would at least have to take a detour. Thinking that he has no intentions, but he adds fear to others, it is difficult to contain self-blame.

After the sun rose, the group left the inn and headed west with their backs to the rising sun. Xiao Qiao lifted the curtains and saw Guo Xu's straight back, and had an urgent urge to know whether this person was a passer-by, or a destination that God had given her. Guo Xu is a blank piece of paper, and he is a plain silk dyed with too many colors, if this man can't accept this dyed past, he can't give himself a stable future. secretly drew a red line for his marriage:

Staring into his eyes, sue him for a qiē.

After that, you will be able to see through his soul through his eyes.

and decided whether to marry him or not. (To be continued......)
