Volume 7 Getaway Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (Eighth Middle School)

It's no wonder that Li Xu behaved out of shape. He clearly remembered that when he returned north with him, Hongfu once said that a woman's life is like a spring flower, and if she can't be gorgeous, she would rather wither. This lonely woman who likes to wander under the flowers and trees in Wangwu Mountain, since she is injured at this time, she must also find a place with many flowers and quietly wait for the destination of life.

He needed to find the Red Whisk as soon as possible and bring her home. Even if it provokes gossip from outsiders for a while. Such a beautiful life should not wither easily, Li Jing doesn't know how to appreciate it, there are people in the world who know how to appreciate it! Xu Maogong, Dou Jiande, Liu Hongji, which of these heroes is not stronger than Li Jing!

The black wind under the crotch seemed to know that the master was in a hurry, and the speed of running was getting faster and faster. The guards could still look at the smoke and dust to chase after them, but after a while, they could only look at the backs of Hei Feng and Li Xu and shake their heads. Fortunately, this place is not far from the barracks, and there are many scouts who patrol normally, so there is no need to worry about a large group of enemy troops passing through and threatening the safety of the commander. As for half of the enemy spies who crossed the Great Wall, meeting Li Xu could only be regarded as his own bad luck. In terms of fighting alone, the brothers have never seen their own handsome lose to others.

The Quail Stream is located in a barren mountain near the Great Wall, and a small stream falls from the cliff on the north side. In winter, the stream freezes, and half of the mountains and rivers look dazzling. In the spring, when the snow melts, countless quails and wild finches jump above the stream. When Li Xu led his soldiers to survey the terrain, he went to the top of the stream once. There was a Taoist temple that had been abandoned for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the divine beasts in front of the view have long been tossed by the wind and sun so that they can't see their original appearance. The peach blossoms planted by the Taoist priests have multiplied into a forest, and they have grown horizontally and vertically on the top of the cliff.

Throwing the black wind halfway through, Xuzi put the scimitar in his hand and climbed on foot. The mountaineering skills he had mastered when he came out of the fortress had not been completely forgotten, so when the guards chased him to the foot of the mountain, his figure had already appeared on the top of the cliff.

The dilapidated Taoist temple is still there, and the road seems to have been cleaned, and the dead branches and leaves are gone. Under the verdant weeds, one or two flat bluestones occasionally emerge, proving that this place was once inhabited. The mountain gate, which was only left with two side posts, was also re-entrenched with tree branches, blocking the path of visitors in vain. Seeing this scene, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and then gently knocked on the "chaimen".

There was no response from the Taoist temple. A few wild sparrows heard the knock on the door, and they flew up with their wings in the sunset. The evening breeze blows the cherry blossoms, circling around people. A few piano rhymes just fluttered with the petals, and they smelled like a lingering fragrance.

Li Xu admired the falling cherry blossoms at this time, followed the rhyme of the qin, and sure enough, he saw a red dress under the flower tree on the north side of the Taoist temple. As if he hadn't heard his hurried and heavy footsteps at all, Hua Xia lowered his eyebrows and talked with his hands, sometimes tactful, sometimes cheerful, as if recounting an extremely good memory.

"You still have the nature to play the piano here. Don't you know that everyone is looking for you everywhere? Li Xu's heart was on fire, and he rushed up in three steps and two steps, shouting at the back of the piano player.

He knew that it was a red whisk, how could an ordinary woman have such a skill, and she could run to such a high cliff with a piano on her back. This generation is no longer inhabited except near the barracks, and wild wolves often haunt after sunset, and the howls come and go. If an ordinary woman lives in a Taoist temple, even if she is not eaten by wild beasts, she will scare herself to death.

When they first met, they were reprimanded, and Hongfu was not annoyed. With a gentle touch of the strings, there was a crisp sound of piercing the clouds and cracking. Then he turned around slowly, smiled, and whispered, "Big brother is here." I'm sure you'll find it here. That's why I waited here early. God has eyes, let me wait before the sunset! ”

She spoke softly, with resentment. It's like a bowl of sour plum soup with ice cubes poured into the throat, and people can't get up even if they are full of anger. Li Xu didn't expect that Hongfu, who had always been solemn and self-controlled, suddenly changed to such a charming posture to face him, and his heart softened. Thinking that the other party had injuries on his body but refused to heal, he forced himself to keep a straight face, pretending to be annoyed and scolded: "Since you came." Why don't you go to my house. Is it just to see a few more views of the scenery when a person runs to the ruined temple? ”

"No wonder everyone is willing to be the eldest brother, it turns out that the feeling of scolding people is so enjoyable!" Hongfu shook his head lightly, smiled, and in an instant, in the eyes of people, the sunset on the horizon became swaying.

Among the women Li Xu has seen, when he first met him, they were all cardamom early years. Beautiful is beautiful, but there is a girl's unique youthfulness, and even if she is secretly in her heart at the beginning, there is shyness in her smile. He smiled like a red breeze like this, and he saw it for the first time in his life, so he was a little stunned for a while, and almost forgot his intention.

No, Hongfu must have been mad by Li Jing. Clenching my fist hard, Asako forced herself to steady herself again. The red whisk he remembered wasn't like that. At that time, the red whisk was beautiful, but it was very solemn. is not as charming as she is now, or rather, she will never let people easily see her charming. And at this moment, the red breeze is like a spring peach full of flowers, stretched out under the nose of the person to be picked.

It wasn't a red whisk, at least not the original red whisk. Xuzi felt pity and sadness in his heart. He wanted to say a few words of comfort to heal the wounds in the other party's heart. I hate myself for being clumsy, and I can't use a word I have learned in my life. After a long silence, he muttered, "I didn't mean to scold you!" Just worried about your safety. You have been away from Chang'an for so long, and you said that you came to me, but you didn't even show your face......"

"Big brother is really worried about me?" Hongfu put away her smile and looked at Li Xu's eyes with clear eyes like water and asked.

"Of course I'm worried. Are you my righteous sister? Li Xu was so upset by the other party that he had no choice but to announce defeat. Don't you have a wound on your body? Hurry up and follow me back to Lang Zhong to have a look. Among the few men in our army, they are the best at treating gold sores. Who hurt you, tell me his name, and when this is over, I will go and seek justice for you!" ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Hongfu glanced up at Li Xu, and then quickly lowered his eyelids. "Some skin injuries are not allowed to mobilize the people. I can handle it myself! ”

Although he said it lightly, he turned around, but there was a light cough. With the sound of coughing, his shoulders kept shaking, like a delicate flower in the wind. Li Xu was so coughed that his heart trembled, and he walked a few steps forward quickly, wanting to help beat his back. Seeing that his palms were raised, he subconsciously stopped in mid-air, calmed down, and said with concern: "It's okay to say it's okay." It's okay to cough all the time. Obedient, it's not good for you to stay alone in a broken temple with a woman, so it's better to go back with me. There is just a vacant room in the courtyard of my house, and there is usually someone to be a companion! ”

Hongfu turned his back to Li Xu and wiped the corners of his mouth with a hand towel. Taking advantage of Li Xu's inattention, he hid the handkerchief that had been stained dark red with blood into his sleeve. Quietly sighing, she turned back again, the expression on her face was naughty and lost, "Is there still a place for the eldest brother's house?" I heard this morning, you only have two places there! ”

was mentioned to the boudoir whisper, Li Xu immediately blushed. Fortunately, the other party only heard his promise to Ying'er this morning, and did not hear the discussion between the two last night. He wanted to explain that what he said to Ying'er meant that he didn't want to marry another woman in his life, not that female guests were not allowed to visit at home. But looking at the red breeze Chu Chu's moving eyes, I don't know if I say that will make the other party feel more hearted. A beautiful woman like Red Whisk, why should she be sent to the door to make a side room. If she wants to get married, the world doesn't know how many heroes want to break their heads.

Thinking of this, Li Xu's mind cleared up slightly. smiled generously and complained, "Sister-in-law, you don't know anything. actually eavesdropped on the whispers of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. I'll let you go this time, and don't do it again next time! Our friendship, I told Yu'er a long time ago. She was so happy that you moved in with me! ”

Seeing that Li Xu was dizzy by himself, the smile on Hongfu's face became even stronger. She was born fair-skinned, and in the midst of her injuries, her complexion became more and more crystalline, like a piece of mutton fat carved out of beautiful jade, if she held it in her hand, she would definitely be warm and moist. Even a character like Li Xu felt that the sunset was dazzling, and he turned his head away slightly several times, and couldn't help but twist his head back a few times.

"Big brother is such an honest man. No wonder Sister Wan'er thinks you are thick and reliable! Red Whisk chuckled under her breath again, as if she hadn't realized how frivolous her demeanor seemed to be. I won't live in your house. lest you be gossiped up. I am a dusty woman who walks the rivers and lakes, no matter where I go, I am destined to be looked down upon. And why bother to make trouble in your house! ”

Speaking of her identity, her laughter suddenly froze, and her head slowly lowered. When he raised his face again, he already saw tears in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing the red whisk crying, Li Xu was even more in a hurry. He stood still and thought for a long time, frowned and shouted, "It's nothing." You are a female general in the women's army, and it is too late for others to scold you, how can they underestimate you. Besides, if you talk about your birth, whose birth is higher. Liu Bei also sold straw sandals, why didn't anyone look down on him? Besides, this big war is imminent, and everyone is still alive or dead, how can they chew their tongues?! ”

"Big brother is big brother, always different from the world." Hongfu quietly listened to every word Li Xu said, and then commented quietly, tears rolling down.

"It's no different. I was a trafficker. Liu Hongji is a horse thief. Dou Jiande is the king of the mountain. Although the world is big, how many people are really born with a golden spoon? If everything is about origin, then everyone will not be able to live! Li Xu waved his hand and said angrily.

In that moment, he understood why Red Whisk was so crazy. No matter which woman waits for ten years for a bastard and is finally abandoned in chaos, it is estimated that her heart will not be better than a red whisk. The so-called righteous annihilation of relatives is just a cover. In fact, Li Jing proposed to Hongfu back then, just to trick the other party into helping him escape from the tiger's mouth. Once it escaped from Yang Su Mansion, the red whisk lost its usefulness. Thinking that Xu Maogong was the son of a giant businessman, he didn't dare to marry a Hu girl to disgrace the family. As Han Baohu's nephew and the two most famous talents in the Great Sui, Li Jingken bowed his head to marry Hongfu.

The wall that once stood between himself and the wealthy family is now pressing on the red heart. Li Jing won't marry her, not because she has bad conduct, not because she doesn't look right, not because she is unfaithful to the marriage contract. It's because she was born as a slave and a maid, and even if Li Jing is down, she is also the son of a family!

When Hongfu talked about this marriage contract like herself, Xu Zi vaguely felt that something was wrong in her heart. Now that I have compared it before and after, I finally connected all the cats. Han Baohu's nephew is amazing, isn't it, isn't Yang Su's talent praised personally? What about Li Mi or the hereditary Pushan Gong, who was still beaten all over the ground by Lao Tzu to find teeth?

Looking at the slightly shrugged shoulders of the red whisk, and thinking about the white eyes he has suffered over the years. A feeling of hatred for the same enemy arose in my heart. No longer bound by etiquette, he stepped forward and reached out to grab Hongfu's arm, "Don't be sad anymore, I'll marry you!" I'll marry you! Ying'er has been persuading me to find her a sister, if you are not in a hurry, I can marry you tomorrow! ”

"Big brother is big brother!" Hongfu struggled for a while, did not break free, and slowly leaned her body against Li Xu's chest. A knife-like sensation instantly spread throughout Xuzi's body, making him unable to breathe or move. I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it's just a moment, maybe it's hundreds of years. The sobbing red whisk slowly put away her tears and said with a smile, "Thank you, big brother." Talking with you for a while, my little sister feels much better! ”

"Don't worry, I never go back on what I said. Come home with me and I'll marry you. Send someone to hire tonight! Li Xu straightened up and solemnly promised.

"Big brother is so stupid!" Hongfu wiped away her tears again and responded with a smile. "Big brother doesn't understand a woman's mind at all!"

"I'm stupid!" Li Xu smirked. He couldn't figure out what the red whisk meant, but he felt that the other party's expression was not as sad as before, and his demeanor was no longer full of madness. "I don't understand women's minds, but I won't hurt you either!"

"But women who can be big brothers are all blessed by several lifetimes." Hongfu smiled, like a pear blossom with rain, "It's good for me to be your sister, and I don't dare to ask for your wife's blessings!" ”

"That's fine. Anyway, let's go home first. Come to my house, no one will dare to hurt you again! Li Xu paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh and advised. He understood that from beginning to end, Hongfu never thought of marrying him. She just needed a proof that she was not an abandoned woman who was sent to the door and no one would marry her. It proves that it is not that they are cheap, but that some people are blind.

"Don't rush yet. I'd like to watch the sunset for a while! Red Fu smiled, like a pear blossom with rain, "Ah, I also brought a gift for my eldest brother!" She suddenly became lively again, and said with girlish joy. He turned around and ran to the piano bench, picked up a silk bag, and threw it away.

Li Xu is a person who can be happy for the happiness of others and worry about the troubles of others. Seeing that Hongfu had returned to normal, although the marriage proposal was rejected, his mood became relaxed. While untying the leather rope on the silk pocket, he said angrily: "You weird girl, you come when you come, why bother with gifts." ”

"I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will blame me for not knowing etiquette!" Hongfu stuck out his tongue mischievously, stood beside Li Xu without any guilt, took the other party's hand, and sat side by side with him under the flower tree, behind the piano bench. "This is the ledger, the ledger of the Turkic warriors' payment of grain and grass. It took me a lot of effort to steal it, big brother, do you think it works? ”

Li Xu was shocked when he heard this, and looked sideways at the red whisk, his eyes full of disbelief. "What are you stealing the ledger for? You actually went to the outside of the plug alone? No wonder you get hurt? Hurry up and go back with me, I'll find Lang Zhong to help you heal! ”

"Didn't the eldest brother tell me that you can infer the number of enemies by looking at the payment of grain and grass?" Hongfu didn't get up, but gently leaned his shoulder on Li Xu's shoulder. As if the other party is his biological brother, he can rely on it with confidence. "I don't know how to lead troops, and I may not be able to kill a few enemies in battle. So I went for a walk on the prairie. There are more than forty tribes around Gu Toru to follow, and no one will pay attention to any tribe that suddenly has an extra milking female slave girl! ”

"Nonsense!" Holding the heavy account book, Li Xu didn't know what to say. The exact number of Turks and their followers was not really very important to him. But he could feel the heart of the red fist. As the old saying goes, it is most difficult to live up to the grace of beauty. And the kindness given to him by the beauty is not an overnight joy, but a real help and respect and help.

"I know I'm being a little willful. But Red Whisk was very happy to be able to do what he could. Since you're my eldest brother, my younger sister can't do nothing, and I'm looked down upon, right? Red Whisk stretched lightly and explained in a low voice.

At this moment, the sun is gone, and the sunset shines the last rays of sunlight on the surrounding peach trees. The entire peach forest is lit up like a wildfire. When the mountain wind blows, pieces of crimson petals fall one after another, as if a red rain has fallen between heaven and earth. Looking at the endless flames burning between heaven and earth, Hong Fu cleared his throat and sang in a low voice: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. A look at the city. Look at the ...... of the country again"

The voice is gentle and soft, mixed with low sighs, like a drizzle of duckweed, and like a long-sick girl in the quiet backyard admiring the beauty of her early death.

The guards climbed to the top of the mountain panting, just when they heard a song from the forest. For a while, he forgot to move his steps, stood at the edge of the peach forest, and thought silently: "No wonder Dashuai went crazy looking for her." can have such a singing woman, you don't need to meet, just listening to a song, it is worth half a city.

Everyone was amazed, but Li Xu, who was sitting next to Hongfu, felt a chill in his heart when he heard it, took the other party's hand, patted it gently, and persuaded again with a smile: "It's going to be dark soon, let's go back." Another day, let's listen to you sing slowly in the house! Your sister-in-law plays the piano well, just enough to match your singing voice. ”

"I won't sing this song inside the walls!" Hongfu smiled and shook his head, "Big brother doesn't know, I was locked up in a mansion when I was a child, and I was forced to sing and dance every day. So, when you see the sky in the four corners of the high wall, you can't sing anything! ”

"Then find a spring day, let's go to the stream and sing. No, find a sunny day, let's come here and sing while enjoying the scenery! Li Xu was anxious, and he coaxed and persuaded him. It wasn't that he was puzzled, but from the red whistle, he heard a taste of exhaustion. This is the pathology of people whose life and spirit have run out of oil and lamps, and after so many years of rolling on the knife, Xuzi is extremely familiar with the breath of death.

"The peach blossoms bloom today, and maybe they will be defeated tomorrow." Red Whisk smiled and continued to shake his head. "In this world, how can there be a flower that blooms forever. My silly big brother! ”

"Thank you this year, and it will open again next year!" Li Xu endured the pain in his chest and responded in a low voice.

"Who will spend next year, and which one can predict it?" Red Whisk sighed and stood up with a smile. "Why don't you enjoy today!"

With that, she leaned down and plucked it lightly. Then he picked up his usual saber from under the piano bench and danced slowly. "I always wanted to marry a hero, who could take me with me, and no longer live the life of being used as a plaything behind a high wall. So the pharmacist proposed to me, and I agreed to him without hesitation! ”

As she spoke, she shook the sword in her hand. The falling cherry blossoms on the ground and in the sky were immediately brought up, hovering around her dance steps.

The guards outside the peach forest had already looked stupid. One by one, they opened their mouths wide, applauded without words, and did not dare to disturb. Li Xu had the heart to rush over and force Hongfu to stop dancing. But he was afraid that as soon as the dance stopped, the other party's life would also be terminated. Sitting under the peach tree, let the fallen flowers be full of tears.

"So, he wants to kill me. But I don't hate him at all. If he hadn't encouraged me to leave, I would have died within the walls! Red Whisk smiled and told it, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with her. One day, when the eldest brother sees him, don't be embarrassed by him. A man in his forties has taken on his own reputation in vain, but his career has not achieved anything at all, so he must be very anxious! ”

"I won't be embarrassed for him. You don't have to remember him anymore. The past is gone. Every year, every year, the flowers will bloom! Li Xu gently wiped the corners of his eyes and responded loudly.

"Big brother just talks. Although the eldest brother doesn't understand a woman's mind at all. Big brother, you know what, I'm glad you could guess where I am! Red Whisk smiled and looked back, and in an instant, it seemed as if all the vitality had returned to her.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. A look at the city. Look at the country again...... I don't know if the city and the country are captivating, and the beauty is rare. She danced and sang and danced, as if the whole person had become one with the song. The cherry blossoms falling all over the mountain are also like life, accompanied by singing, accompanied by sword light, fluttering.

"I don't know if the city and the country are captivated, and the beauty is rare." After the rhyme, the song suddenly turns passionate and bright, and then accompanied by a sword sound, the falling cherry blossoms and red shadows rise to the sky, falling from the top of the mountain stream.

Li Xu stood with a knife in his hand, not stopping or shouting. It wasn't until the singing in the four fields was cut off that he shook it twice, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell softly.
