Xing Ruyi didn't expect that there was such a helpless love story hidden behind Yingzi's marriage to the wordless tombstone.

In the old man's words, the reason why he did such a thing to Yingzi was nothing more than to make Aunt Ying ugly. At the beginning, she pretended to be the marshal's daughter and married the general. Now, he has the paper man carry her daughter to the general's tombstone.

This so-called revenge seems a bit nonsensical, and even makes people feel quite unreasonable.

Coming out of the old man's house, the snow fell a little heavier. Through the thick black curtain, there is a faint glimpse of bright color. In a little while, the day will be bright.

Xing Ruyi rubbed his hands, grabbed the fox's arm, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you believe it?" ”

"Believe what?"

"What the old man said just now."

"The general's story?"

"Well, it's not." Xing Ruyi shook his head: "The general's story, I believe it is true. The old man is not like the kind of person who is particularly good at telling stories, at least the story becomes much more poignant and moving when I tell it again. I'm referring to the fact that Yingzi married the wordless tombstone. The old man seems to be very dissatisfied with Yingzi's mother, but according to common sense, if he wanted to take revenge, he would have taken revenge a long time ago, so why wait until Yingzi grows up, and even choose to humiliate Yinggu in such an outrageous way when she is about to get married. ”

"Do you think there's anything else going on here?"

The fox raised his hand and brushed away the snow stained on Xing Ruyi's forehead.

"My perception tells me that there must be another version of this story. It's just that the old man doesn't want to say it, and Yingzi himself doesn't want to say it. ”

"People will have their own unspeakable secrets, and if they don't want to say it, we don't have to ask."

"That's right." Xing Ruyi let go of his hand and turned behind the fox, "I'm sleepy and tired, can you carry me back to the inn?" ”

"Can a husband refuse?"

"Can't!" Xing Ruyi said, lying on the fox's back: "I'm not hypocritical, I'm really sleepy." ”

"Okay, then I can only reluctantly carry you back."

"Fox."

"Huh?"

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

"Regret meeting me and marrying me."

"Why do you ask?"

"If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have come back to this place. If it weren't for me, even if you came back, you could stay in Qingqiu. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to pay attention to all this mess in the world. ”

"There are no ifs." The fox patted Xing Ruyi's buttocks: "I met you, fell in love with you, and then married you, this is a fact, so there is no need to assume." As for the mundane world you mentioned, I think it's okay. When the fox fairy has been in place for a long time, it is inevitable to be bored. It's not bad to be nosy once in a while. ”

"Don't you really think I'm a big deal?"

"You're not too busy, you just want to find more things for yourself to do."

"Know me so well."

"It's not that I understand, but that I remember all the words you once said." The fox paused and continued: "Going back to Luoyang, it's actually not as terrible as you think. ”

"I know." Xing Ruyi lay on the fox's back and replied sullenly. Then she closed her eyes and muttered softly. "Fox, can you go slower. I've heard that walking in the snow with someone you like, and walking and walking, you can go from black hair to white hair. So, fox, I want you to walk slowly, and then we'll grow old together. ”

"Okay, I'll go slower." The fox replied, and sure enough, slowed down.

The snow fell layer by layer, on the fox's head, and on Xing Ruyi's back.

In the inn, Xing Ruyi turned over, and then subconsciously wrapped the quilt around his body again. But she still felt the cold, as if the quilt covered could not give her more warmth. So, she woke up from the cold and opened her eyes somewhat reluctantly.

She didn't see the fox, but she saw Aunt Ying. She stood cramped at the door with a cane, not seeing half a snowflake on her body, but revealing a sense of meaning.

"Aunt Ying?" Xing Ruyi screamed in a daze, and then changed his words: "Auntie, how did you find the inn?" ”

Just after asking, Xing Ruyi sensed that something was wrong. Aunt Ying in front of her doesn't seem to be a living person.

"Mrs. Yin, I'm here to beg you, please save my daughter."

"Yingzi?"

"After tonight, she's going to follow the man."

"That person?"

"Yes, the man in the grave." Ying Gu lowered her head: "I know that I am at fault in this matter. But no matter how big the mistake is, it should be borne by me as a mother. Yingzi is innocent. That person shouldn't have taken her away, let alone taken her to that kind of dark place.

Mrs. Yin, I know that you and Mr. Yin are both capable people. Now, I have to take the liberty of begging you. ”

"Wait a minute." Xing Ruyi stretched out his hand and made a pause: "Don't worry, let me sort it out." ”

He took a deep breath, rolled the quilt aside, then got out of bed with his shoes on, walked up to Aunt Ying, looked at her carefully and asked, "Are you ......?"

"Madame sees it well, Aunt Ying is no longer from the Yang world, but she is thinking about her daughter, so she barely breathes."

"You just said that Yingzi is going to go with that person? That person, is it General Chu Shi? ”

"No!" Ying Gu shook her head slightly: "The general's name is not Chu Shi, Chu Shi is the name of my father-in-law." He's not a general, he's just an entourage next to the general. ”

"Followers?" Xing Ruyi suddenly had a feeling that he hadn't woken up yet: "But in Uncle Zhang's house, I obviously saw ......"

"I didn't expect that Madame had already met my husband." Ying Gu said lightly, and between her eyebrows, a touch of sadness naturally appeared: "Madam only knows his surname Zhang, have you ever asked his name?" ”

"Nope."

"Well, even if Madame asked, he might not be able to remember. Since Madame went to Zhang's house, then she should have heard him say about the general, right? None of those things are true. ”

"Not really?" Xing Ruyi spun around in place: "But uncle, he doesn't look like he's lying." ”

"He wasn't lying, because those things seemed to him to be true." Ying Gu pointed to her head: "He is sick, after the death of the general, he is sick. Therefore, he always thinks that the fake is true, but forgets the truth. ”

In Yinggu's dictation, Xing Ruyi heard another version of the story.

The story took place twenty years ago.

Aunt Ying, formerly known as Li Xiuying, was the eldest daughter of Li Xiao, the generalissimo of the border pass at the time, and the person buried under the nameless monument was the husband chosen by her father Li Xiao for her.

If Aunt Ying hadn't met Chu Shi, then what would have happened next would have been a very beautiful story. But she just met him.

It was a dry, windy spring day, and her face was nourished by the lack of moisture, and many dry fine lines were born. As a girl to be married, she was naturally a little anxious, so she secretly went to the military doctor without telling her father. In the military doctor's tent, she met Zhang Chushi, who was dispensing medicine.

As the marshal's daughter, she naturally has a temper. As soon as she entered the tent, she grabbed Zhang Chushi, then pointed to her face to show him, and asked him to dispense medicine for herself immediately. Who knows, he blushed in front of her. The shy appearance that seemed to have never seen a girl's house in her life immediately made her laugh.

She remembered very well that the medicine he prepared for her was called Chu Shisan. Afterwards, she asked him if he had used her own name to name the prescription in order to make herself remember him. Who knows, he waved his hand, and then explained to her in a little anxious, saying that the prescription was not named after him, but because there was a very critical medicine in the prescription, called Chu Shizi. When taken by men, it can nourish the kidneys and clear the liver, and invigorate qi. For women's external use, it can remove wrinkles and delight the skin. If it is used for a long time, it can also make the skin white, and the complexion is ruddy, like a peach blossom in three springs.

Aunt Ying was not proficient in pharmacology, but she only thought that the things he said were interesting, so she often asked him for some recipes. came and went, and feelings somehow developed between the two people. But at that time, Aunt Ying already had a marriage contract. The other party is his father's lieutenant general, and he is his father's right-hand man. If there is no Chu Shi, Aunt Ying is very willing to marry that rough man who knows the art of war, knows how to fight, and even attaches great importance to righteousness after she turns eighteen.

But fate made her meet Chu Shi and let her know that in this world, in addition to men like her father, there is also a kind of man. Although they can't lead troops into battle, they can make their lives interesting. This kind of fun, and the anticipation of the future life, made her heart move.

She went to her father in the hope that her marriage to the general would be dissolved. As a result, his father not only disagreed, but even became furious, and then found reasons to frequently let Chu Shi go out with the army, pushing him to the line of life and death again and again.

Maybe it's because of Chu Shi's fate, maybe it's because of God's favor, every time he can return from the battlefield. But what awaits him is the next expedition, and the next life and death are unknown. Aunt Ying couldn't bear such torture at all. She hid from her father and went to Chu Shi privately, hoping that Chu Shi could take her out of the barracks. But at this time, the enemy led an army of 100,000 to attack, and his father urgently ordered Chu Shi to go out with the army again. At that time, the leader was Yinggu's fiancé, who was also his father's most trusted lieutenant.

"That general, did he only lead 800 dead soldiers?" Xing Ruyi asked suddenly.

Aunt Ying looked at her, and then nodded: "Yes!" At that time, our army was only more than 30,000 people, and it also included those old and weak women and children in the border cities. That lieutenant general, although not the best husband of Yinggu, is undoubtedly the most outstanding general. He offered his father a plan and decided to lead people to raid the enemy's grain and grass. If there is not enough food and grass for an army of 100,000 people, even if the other side has the heart to go to war, we will not dare to delay, and we only need to hold on to resist the enemy to get through the difficulties. ”

"The general won?"

"Hmmm! The general completed the task very well, but only eight of the eight hundred dead men returned. ”
