Chapter 26
When I walked out of the yard, I found that I didn't need to take the lamp. The moonlight outside was so bright that there was really no need to carry a lamp.
I looked up at the full moon in the sky. "Another month of fifteen and sixteen. Yue'er is reunited again, my father and Wu'er will never come back, and my mother and my brother and sister-in-law don't know where to go. Under the full moon, I'm the only one left. ”
I felt my eyes heat up, I blinked, and I couldn't let the tears flow. I sniffed, and as soon as I lowered my head, I crashed into a warm embrace. I didn't want to struggle, I wanted to take off all my disguise in the night. I grew up so big, and the only hardship I suffered was that my father forced me to practice martial arts, but there was also the cover of my dear brother. Now, in half a year, my family is ruined, and I have become a dead person.
After my mood eased a lot, Chu Yi said, "Sister, I'll take you somewhere." ”
He put his sleeve in my hand. I tugged at his sleeve and walked cautiously
He led me to a clearing, and I lifted my sleeve in surprise. If the yellow-green points of light in the sky are flashing, if they are not in the sky, they will be customized as moon stars. And the river is even more sparkling under the moonlight.
"It's beautiful!" I praise from the bottom of my heart.
"Girl, you close your eyes, do you feel what you can smell?" Chu Yi said.
I closed my eyes and seemed to smell the faint scent of earth, as well as the fragrance of melons and fruits. I opened my eyes and looked back, I could only see some scenes vaguely, and I couldn't see very clearly, "Lord, is this a farmland?" ”
Chu Yi said: "Yes, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou will grow some food by themselves." There is also a piece of land here, which is used to grow gardenias, and Aunt Zhou's favorite is gardenias. It's a pity that it's not the flowering season, and I can't smell the fragrance of gardenias. ”
I lifted my sleeve and dangled it in front of him. "Aunt Zhou collected the gardenia petals and dried them into dried flowers. The one that Zhi'er brought to me to bathe just now was a gardenia. Can you smell the fragrance of gardenias? ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I instantly regretted that I wanted to bite my tongue. Why didn't you think about it without thinking about it? I retracted my sleeves, but he held them. "Wu'er, you didn't go with Emperor Zhou, is it because of that veil?"
I asked rhetorically, "Before the banquet, Xia Qian pulled me to a pavilion to talk. Was King Li where he was at the time?"
"Yes!" Chu Yi's answer was a bit unexpected to me. I was a little choked and didn't know what to say next. "The clouds and the sky are far away, and the eternal night and the moon are lonely. When I leave the Kingdom of Zhou, I will become a drifter. In any case, I have to return to Zhou after all. ”
Chu Yi pulled me and sat down by the lake. I looked at the river in front of me, and something in my memory suddenly flashed, and I said, "When I was in Yucheng before, there was also a river outside the city, and I often went there. ”
"General Shang actually agrees that you are a girl who often runs outside? After all, it is a border area between the two countries, and it is not very safe. ”
I patted my chest, "Lord, Lord, you underestimate me too much!" I can't beat you, but those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, I don't care about it. Not only did I not encounter any danger, but I also saved people. ”
"Oh, does the county lord remember the person he saved?" Listening to Chu Yi's voice, he seemed to be a little expectant and a little nervous.
I didn't think about it deeply, and said: "At that time, it seems that I had just arrived in Yucheng for four or five years, and I once quarreled with my father, so I went out of the city with Xiaobai to play. I went to the river for a walk, and I saw a man floating on the river. I don't know how to water, so I let Xiaobai carry that person up. Maybe the man was jolting on horseback for a while, and he spat water when I got him off the horse. ”
Chu Yi asked, "Does the county lord know the person he saved?"
I shook my head, "I don't know!" He's wearing a mask, and I don't even know what he looks like. I figured that since he would wear a mask, it wouldn't be good for me to take off other people's masks at will. ”
"The county lord doesn't know if this person is good or bad?"
"The one who will appear in the river should not be an ordinary person. Although I don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy, in front of me, he's a human life. I have to help him! He was not the one who harmed me at that time, and if we were on the battlefield and we were on the opposite side, even if he was a dutiful son and a husband who loved his wife, I would have killed him. I changed my tone and said, "I asked Xiaobai to take him to a small hut in the jungle." I was worried that he had provoked someone, and the enemy would seek revenge all the way, so I stayed outside for the night. Later, I fell asleep by the big tree outside. Hmph, when I woke up, I didn't see that person, he didn't even say thank you. Did he know that I stayed outside for the night, and my father sent people to look for me in and out of the city, and I was grounded for several days after I returned. ”
After I complained for a while, Chu Yi said, "It's not that he doesn't say thank you to you, he also has a hard time." It's not that you're sleepy and asleep, it's that his subordinates put a drunken smoke after finding out where he is. He was assassinated in the border city of Qi and was not stabbed by the enemy, but after falling into the water, he was knocked unconscious by the water, but fortunately he was rescued in time by a kind girl. He knew the jade lion that shone in the night, so he could naturally guess the girl's identity. His subordinates, fearing that the girl would reveal his whereabouts, begged him to kill her. However, he couldn't do anything, so he ordered his subordinates to leave without saying thank you to the girl. ”
"You! You! I was so angry that I couldn't speak for a while. I couldn't make out his face in the moonlight, but I knew he was looking at me all the time. A year or two later, he received an order from the emperor to attack Yucheng. There was a peace contract between Zhou and Qi, and he didn't want to go on the expedition, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey. He was scared, afraid to see the girl who had helped him. Still, he saw her. The girl was alone in the city, and although she wore a mask with blue fangs, the horse made him recognize her. When Motokari responded to the battle, he was worried that Motokari would hurt her, but he didn't have time to tell Motokari. He underestimated the girl's ability, and she actually picked off his most capable men, and she didn't seem to want to win, and quickly turned back to the city. Hearing the cheers of the people in the city, he understood that the girl was not in love with war because she was just trying to boost morale. He is the prince of the Qi country, he has his duties, and he must capture Yucheng. The moment the city gate broke, he thought he would do everything he could to protect that girl. However, when he arrived at the General's Mansion, he heard that General Shang and Lord Wen Heng had been martyred. ”
