Chapter 6: The Back of the Sunset

Xu Yongzhi and Xiaogui sat in the bathtub, and the air was full of embarrassment.

In the past three years, they have walked the rivers and lakes together, and many times they have slept together on a couch, a kang, and a bed.

Not to mention appearance, each other is already too familiar with each other's scent, but before, Xu Yongzhi looked at Xiaogui, a child he brought with him, and he never had any strange thoughts.

But now the situation has changed, and this teenager is older than a child and more beautiful than a woman.

My opinion of him changed all of a sudden.

"In this way, it's not good to ......," Xu Yongzhi said.

"Childe, don't think about it so much," Xiaogui said, "Xiaogui is like this, it's all for you and our Shanzitang." ”

"Huh?"

"It's obvious enough, Mrs. Ji obviously wants to do something to you, and this person's reputation, think about it, the widow of the powerful, the woman who absconded with money, the first romantic person who can write poetry, and Jinling, this person's attention is on Gongzi, Gongzi, you are being targeted."

Xiaogui picked up the water, poured it on Xu Yongzhi's body, and gently scrubbed his skin.

"So what?"

"So I advise you to squander your desires and destructive power first." Xiao Gui gently stroked the inside of his thigh, and Xu Yongzhi shuddered.

"When I was a child, I was sold to the house, and the owner of our yard would let the reddest and most beautiful girl in the yard accompany her for one night every time he went to the street to buy boys and girls."

"I asked one of my sisters why she did it, and she said it was the rule of the house. If you go out without enough to eat, you will definitely be staring at the buns on the street. Abalone, sea cucumber, good wine, you can't taste it. ”

"Only when you are satisfied, without those urgent desires, can you calmly evaluate how well a child sings, how he dances, and how he stands, and is not attracted by the pitiful eyes and coquettish gestures, and you can bargain with the other person normally, without showing your ecstasy and preference." Xiaogui said.

"What are you trying to illustrate?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Childe, don't pretend to be confused, Mrs. Ji wants to seduce you and make you suffer, I suggest that you release your desires before going, so that you won't fall for her and suffer from her." Xiao Gui said, stretching out his hand between Xu Yongzhi's legs.

"Don't touch it!" Xu Yongzhi said.

Xiaogui withdrew his hand and scrubbed Xu Yongzhi's shoulders and chest.

"A proposal, for our cause. Childe, you are the person I love and respect, I am afraid that you will suffer, and I am also afraid that our Shanzitang career will suffer. Xiaogui said.

"Joke, I've been in this matter for so many years," Xu Yongzhi was a little unconvinced, "You are like this, and Duan Meimei is like this, as if I am a beast eager to find a female to mate." ”

"Childe, you have read too many sage books, but you have never been to see this world of flowers. , the book of sages will only tell you one thing, suppress your desires, that is, a good man, in fact, how can there be such a thing? ”

"We walked the rivers and lakes together, I fell asleep at night, you read "The Mean" in the middle of the night, you took a cold bath, you also used all kinds of heroic acts to suppress your personal desires, you saved a person, a village, a town over and over again, you saved me, and you also saved Sister Meimei, you think that's enough."

"I think that's really enough, compared to carnal desires, if you have helped others and changed their lives, you will feel an extreme happiness, and you will not and disdain to look for physical happiness at all." Xu Yongzhi retorted.

"I don't think big things can be about small things, and I also believe that big happiness can't replace small happiness." Xiaogui put his finger on Xu Yong's heart.

"It's noble here," he said, sliding his finger down, "but it doesn't contradict the honesty here."

"You are afraid of a lot of things, you avoid Sister Meimei's liking for you, she is still a girl, you are worried that you will not be able to explain to her, marry her, she has a very low status, she is not a good match; Take her as a concubine, you feel that it is unfair to her. I can understand that, but why did you refuse me to help you? ”

"Xiaogui, you are too mean to see things."

"Childe, you feel sorry for all the women in the world, and every word you say, you have to consider how the other party feels. You have to be right in everything you say, it's your upbringing, your integrity, but it can also make you polite – a little fake. ”

Xiaogui pressed his face to Childe's chest, and his ears heard the usually slow and calm heart, beating fast.

"I like you, and I'm not ugly." Xiaogui said.

"It's not that it's not ugly, it's very good-looking." Xu Yongzhi corrected in his busy schedule.

"I don't dare to say it, I'm a male daughter, what I love is a hero like you, Childe, I won't cause you any trouble, I'm healthy, and I won't get pregnant, I'll make you tired and fall asleep with joy, I'll let you experience simple and direct joy."

"The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes." Xu Yongzhi stepped back.

"Instead of going to eat the hardships of women outside, it's better to eat enough at home!" Xiaogui kissed Xu Yongzhi's chest, and went up with his mouth to find his neck and ears......

There was a sound of water, Xu Yongzhi stood up, and he shouted loudly outside: "Meimei, bring me a clean hand towel!" ”

Xiaogui stepped out of the bathtub, took off his soaked women's clothes, dried his body, and changed into a men's gown.

"If I let Sister Meimei in, she will definitely be willing!" He's still a little bit unwilling.

"Xia Xiaogui, you let me out!"

Lovers call each other by name and surname, they are angry.

The same is true between Xu Yongzhi and Xiaogui.

Xiaogui opened the door, Duan Meimei came in with a handkerchief, with an inquiring expression, Xiaogui shook his head and left.

"The handkerchief is on the chair outside the screen, you can go out too, thank you." Xu Yongzhi said.

Xiao Gui stood on the watchtower on the top floor of the inn, there were four or five people standing on this watchtower, and he could watch the situation of the fire or the war, he looked at the distance blankly, Duan Meimei got up lightly and walked next to Xiao Gui, and the two stood side by side against the railing.

"I want to do a lot for him." Xiaogui said.

"You've done a lot." Duan Meimei said.

"I want to be like a part of his body and help him."

"Childe doesn't seem to want us to help him."

"He didn't want anyone to help him, he was too tired and too nervous."

"Nervous? No, every time I see a letter from him, I have to write a joke, and I laugh when I read it. ”

"yes, that's where he's nervous."

"He's going to write a lot of letters, he's going to do a lot of things, he's going to help a lot of people, and he feels like everything is in order, and the feeling of a huge machine running is really nice, but what about his personal troubles? Don't you think a person who always plays a 'I'm fine' and tells jokes in his letters? ”

"I never thought about that."

"The old man is a famous doctor in Linquan Town, Tanzhou, when the lord of Ma Chu in Tanzhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty repeatedly fought against each other, he organized the young Ding Zhuang and established the Bow and Arrow Society, first in Linquan Town, and then promoted in various towns."

"The Bow and Arrow Society has kept most of the towns safe against rebels and thieves, and when the army comes, we pay taxes on food. The guys of Yamajido are so elite, and it is also because of the strength of the Bow and Arrow Society. ”

"The master has opened a big machine, but he doesn't seem to be here, he has been studying medicine at home for the past few years, and the son came out to walk the rivers and lakes at the age of fifteen, but he hasn't put it down. dissertation, he is the successor of Yan's "Ram" study, and at the age of fourteen he got a waiver to accept disciples; Speaking of Wu, he is a lay disciple in the portal of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain, his year is worth three or four years of others, every moment and every minute of his life must be lived with meaning, and his self-discipline can really make everyone in the world embarrassed. ”

"Childe is really good." Duan Meimei muttered.

"Childe is so pitiful." Xiao Gui said with a distressed face.

Duan Meimei couldn't help but feel stunned, after all, she was still separated from her son, but soon she mustered up the courage and told herself that in the future, she would take care of and protect Xu Yongzhi like she would protect her younger brother and this shop.

"How did you meet him?" Duan Meimei asked.

"My father was a civil official in Yan'an Prefecture, and later lost his official position, and returned to his hometown with his mother, and on the way he met a group of Northern Han rebels, they killed my parents, and my sister resisted their bullying, and they were also killed, they originally wanted to kill me, and then a veteran told them to leave me behind." Xiaogui said.

"There are good people among the rebels." Duan Meimei said.

"I still thought so," said Xiaogui, "and later found out that they had pickled human corpses for food, and the veteran said that the children were fresh and tender, and that it would be better to kill them when they ate them." ”

"Oh my God......"

"Then they grabbed the granary, and they stopped eating human flesh for a while, so they sold me to human traffickers, who will ask you, 'Is there anyone in the family who will ransom you?' When he heard that I had no relatives, and saw that I was good-looking, he sold me to Goo. ”

"Boys can also sell it?"

"We all have a face, a body and a pair of hands, and we can do what a girl can do."

"There, I learned to please men, they taught me to be tactful, they taught me to sing, they taught me to dance, they taught me how to seduce men. I don't want to, I'm going to be beaten, the leather whip is dipped in cold water, and it hurts, but it won't leave a scar, and if it leaves, the price will not be good. ”

Duan Meimei put her right hand on Xiaogui's shoulder.

"When I was 10 years old, I was ransomed by a Uighur merchant who had already begun to grow up, and the bustard of the monastery said that the boy would have to wait another two or three years for him to learn how to sing and play the piano. The merchant said, 'What do you know?' If it grows, it's too big.'" I've heard some sisters say that some bad old men are very bad, and they spoil very young children, and I think that's how I met them. ”

"We went to Xingqing Mansion, and on the way we met a group of horse thieves, there were more than thirty of them, they came and went like the wind, and they beheaded the Uighurs with a single sword, and pulled me off the car, but these people all swore that they could not leave women in the village, because if they were kings and had wives, they would lose their enterprising spirit, and there would be disunity among the brothers."

"So they grabbed the woman, or let the family ransom her, and if no one ransomed it, they would waste it for a while and then kill it, and after they took off my clothes, they began to discuss, saying that I am not a woman, and I can stay in the village and serve them."

Duan Meimei gently hugged Xiaogui.

Xiaogui sighed.

"For almost a year, it was dark, I wore women's clothes to please them, I tried to run twice, and each time I was caught, and they tortured me even worse."

Then one day they said that there was a beautiful noble boy on the road, and he was wearing clothes and riding horses, which seemed to be very valuable, so they rode out of the earthen enclosure and robbed the son. That's how they met our son-in-law. ”

"I was tied up by them, and I saw the situation outside through the pane, and Childe brought two pots of arrows and forty arrows, and when I saw these people coming with knives, I opened my bow directly. I counted them all in the house, six, seven, eight, ......."

"Childe's horse is called Xu Xiaoyu, not to mention running fast, and can change the line, their horse can't catch up at all, and I watched Childe fly like a kite, putting them down one by one."

"The head of the horse thief is called Hou Dawang, this guy saw that the scene was wrong, and quickly ran, thinking that I was still in the house, he was going to come back and carry me with him. As soon as he entered the house, Childe caught up with him. The man surnamed Hou knew that he was not an opponent, so he threw his knife and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. ”

"When Childe saw me tied up and thrown on the clay kang, he understood everything, and he cut my rope with his sword and handed the knife to me. His life, you have the final say'. ”

"I didn't even think about it, I stabbed Hou Dawang's heart with a knife. This was the first time I had killed someone, and when I was done, I threw myself into my childe's arms and cried and trembled. ”

"Childe told me that I would take you to a safe place. I said to him, there is no safer place than by your side. He said, nonsense, I want to walk the rivers and lakes, I can't take a woman, I took his hand and touched it down, I said, I'm a boy, son, you take me away. I will protect you and serve you well all my life. ”

"Did he say yes?" Duan Meimei yearned for it and immersed herself in this story, "Ahem, I'm so stupid, I must have agreed." ”

"Childe asked me, what's your name?"

"I say, the cupboard, the cupboard of the cupboard."

"He said, ha, what is this name, I'll change it for you, your name is Xiaogui, precious Gui, from today on, no one else will be allowed to bully you in the world."

"For the first time in a few years, I felt valued."

"I understand, I understand." Duan Meimei also thought of Xu Yongzhi who made a big fuss about her wedding.

"The blue sky and white clouds are above, the snow mountain loess is below, the son carried me on the horse, let me put my arms around his neck, he urged the white horse to run, my red shirt was blown by the wind, there are shepherd boys singing in the distance, they are all brothers and sisters, flowers who change their hearts and infatuate ("flowers" are love songs on the plateau), that day is the spring equinox, the ice and snow on the snow mountains, all began to melt. Xiaogui said.

"I seem to have seen this," Ms. Duan said, "and I...... In fact, I envy you very much. ”

"Sister Meimei, we are different, my love is companionship, but after all, there is no result, your love is waiting, I always feel that all waiting will not be permanent ......"

As soon as she came out of the courtyard of the inn on a white horse, Xu Yongzhi's back looked very thin in the sunset, and Duan Meimei suddenly felt that the big hero Xu Gongzi in her heart was actually just a child who wore adult clothes and pretended to be an adult, trying to save the world. She just wanted to hold him in her arms now and give him a little light and warmth.

Xu Yongzhi looked back and found the two people on the watchtower, waved his hand, and smiled.

With a slight force on his legs, Xu Xiaoyu trotted up, and disappeared from the view of the watchtower after a while.

Xiaogui said: "Let's prepare the things next to us, don't make mistakes, trust him." ”

Duan Meimei nodded.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone downstairs shouting in a straight voice:

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! ”

"Sister! Sister! ”

Xiao Gui heard the voice of the silly boy Duan Zishou, and couldn't help but think about it.

"Sister Meimei, I'm going to borrow it from our brother!"
