157 was beaten too much
It stands to reason that Xia Xiaoxiao has always avoided this kind of halfway robbery, but Ah Yi is a variable, with a person who seems to have a good martial arts foundation as a coachman, are you still afraid of encountering any robbery?
Although his stomach was churning uncomfortably, the horse's hooves fell heavily in the soil and splashed with undried water stains, and the wind was howling in his ears, Xia Xiaoxiao actually felt that he was fighting with the enemies of the rivers and lakes to escape for his life! And the fact is also, but the person who chased and killed was Ah Yi, and she was a person who was taken by the way.
I don't know when I threw off the people behind me, Ah Yi saw Xia Xiaoxiao's somewhat pale face, and hurriedly stopped Mahler, helped Xia Xiaoxiao to get off the horse and find a big tree to lean on, and asked her with a little worry, "Injured?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao waved his hand weakly, "I don't know how to ride a horse, and I want to vomit after a long time." ”
Ah Yi frowned, his dark skin didn't seem to be able to see the expression on his face very clearly in the dark night, Xia Xiaoxiao saw him get up and walked towards the mountains and forests, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "Hey, where are you going!" ”
Ah Yi glanced back at her, his gaze stopped at Xia Xiaoxiao holding his hand and paused, "Let's see if there is a river nearby, get some water." ”
"Hey, don't go, what if those people come after you later? If you're not there, I'll do it directly! ”
Ah Yi really didn't mean to leave again, at this time it was when Xia Xiaoxiao was curious, she moved her position to the side and made room for him to sit, "Who are those people?" How did you mess with them? ”
"I don't know."
Ah Yi glanced at her, turned to lead the horse to tie it to the big tree behind her, and answered very perfunctorily.
Xia Xiaoxiao clutched his chest and took several breaths of cool air, and suddenly felt much more comfortable, and he didn't have a good look, "Didn't you say that you were hiding from the enemy?" I won't betray you, what are you going to do with me? ”
"There are too many enemies, I don't remember who it was this time."
Ah Yi handed her a steamed bun, like this, she was really tired of leaning her head and talking to him, Xia Xiaoxiao took it, patted the position next to him vigorously, motioned for him to sit down, and glanced at the horse, and couldn't help admiring, "At first glance, you are often hunted down, and you didn't forget to take dry food at that kind of critical moment just now." ”
"Get used to it."
At this time, the moon above her head just came out of the crescent moon, and the cypress leaves on the treetops shone with a thin moonlight, Ah Yi sat beside her, holding another steamed bun in her hand, Xia Xiaoxiao was also a little hungry, and opened her mouth to nibble on a piece, and said with some envy while gnawing, "I have only seen this kind of thing in those Jianghu books." He stared at Ah Yi with some admiration, and pointed to the sigh that God seemed to be able to feel his helplessness and put into it, "Because of the deep hatred of the sea of blood, or because of the woman he loves, he has to attract some enemies, so that he has become a generation of heroes from a rookie, and he is admired by tens of thousands of people. You must be very resentful in your heart, no wonder you didn't show any mercy to those people just now. ”
"As the saying goes, revenge is not revenge, revenge is not afraid of ten years later, I am optimistic about you, and the revenge will be avenged!"
After speaking, she slapped Ah Yi twice on the shoulder with a palm to encourage her, her eyes lit up, and she waited for Ah Yi to tell her about his miserable experience, but Ah Yi's already strange gaze became a little thicker and thicker, and she also followed her example and patted her shoulder twice with her hand, and sighed, "Brother Tai, you have read too much in the book." ”
"Cut, it's boring."
Xia Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand, lifted her eyelids, and lay down after eating the dough bun twice, with her hands resting on the back of her head, one foot on the other and starting to shake slightly.
Ah Yi also lay down, next to Xia Xiaoxiao, his elbow almost touched Xia Xiaoxiao's elbow, and above his head was a thick and lush cypress leaf, tree to tree, interspersed with branches, leaving only some small gaps to allow the moonlight to penetrate down, and the stars could not be seen, I don't know if it was not tonight, or because it was blocked by these leaves.
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Ah Yi on the left from the corner of his eyes, at this time he was also staring at the leaves above his head like himself, and the sky was alive, but suddenly, Xia Xiaoxiao took his gaze back and twisted his eyebrows without a trace.
I didn't know it before, but once I knew, I didn't have any more vigilance in my heart to be fake, and I didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck, and suddenly there was a coachman who knew martial arts to make her more secure on this road, although those people were coming for him, but Ah Yi didn't leave her behind, and it saved her life, but if he wasn't an ordinary coachman, she still felt a little relieved no matter how she thought about it.
"I'm just an ordinary coachman now, and since I've received your money, I'll deliver you to where you want to go."
As if he could see what Xia Xiaoxiao was thinking, he opened his mouth leisurely, Xia Xiaoxiao pulled the corners of his mouth, "The carriage is gone, how can it be delivered on time?" Suddenly he thought of something, and continued, "You threw off the carriage yourself, don't you want me to compensate!" ”
"Then you can find a way to get to Nanming by yourself." As he spoke, he really got up and wanted to leave.
"Lose it!" Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed him, because he didn't stand firm just now, Xia Xiaoxiao pulled him and he fell down again, it seemed to be a little painful, seeing him grinning, it wasn't her who hurt anyway, and immediately said with disdain, "Why do you people care more about the vulgar thing of silver than me?" People who mingle on the rivers and lakes should regard money as dung! ”
"That's what those stupid literati should think."
Ah Yi casually picked a dog's tail grass and put it in his mouth, looking very leisurely, his voice has always been a little hoarse, and he can't finish taking a bite after speaking, as if he is extremely disdainful of those literati who only know how to get fame in one day.
But Xia Xiaoxiao agreed with what he said, "I know a person, although he is not such an elegant person, but to him it seems that money is dung." ”
Beigong Yu always doesn't take money seriously, he looks down on her who thinks about money all day long, that's just because he doesn't know the benefits of money, no, he knows, just because he is too rich, and the money that Xia Xiaoxiao saved privately is not even the size of an ant in his eyes.
"Do you know how much money five hundred taels is? He doesn't even blink an eye when he gives people! The total amount of dowry I saved from childhood to marriage was not half of five hundred taels, and he gave it so easily! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly turned his head to look at Ah Yi and complained angrily.
She still remembers the appearance of Beigong Yu when he handed the five hundred taels of silver tickets to Brother Niu, although he didn't take her silver, but when she thought that he would rather give it to a stranger than reward her when she served him so hard, her heart was uneven.
Ah Yi seemed a little surprised, and repeated, "Married? ”
"Uh......"
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, she forgot that she was dressed as a man now, and made an excuse at random for a while, "My sister got married, and I saved her dowry money." ”
"I also have a younger sister, the only sister, who is also married now, but I don't know how she is doing with her husband."
Ah Yi's eyes were still as calm as that, Xia Xiaoxiao turned her head slightly, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a rare trace of tenderness in his eyes, she couldn't help asking, "You haven't been to see your sister since she got married?" ”
She rarely heard Ah Yi mention his family, but she didn't know that he had a sister, and it seemed that this sister had a good relationship with him.
Ah Yi glanced at her and shook his head, "It's not the time yet. ”
"If you miss her, then go and see her, what's the time and what's not the time?"
Xia Xiaoxiao actually doesn't understand this kind of family affection between brothers and sisters or brothers and sisters, her only sister is Xia Yingxi, and she is not a mother's biological child, when she was a child, she also had a deep grudge against Xia Yingxi, although she is not as ignorant as when she was a child, but she has always been close to her, and she has not experienced it personally, but she should have seen it anyway, and it stands to reason that this kind of brotherhood between twin brothers should also be very strong, but when she saw Beigong Yu and Luozhi, The-for-tat attitude of the two people as soon as they met really broke her original thoughts. And since entering the palace in the past few years, the only person she can still call her concerned about is Ji Xiaoer, but Ji Xiaoer is not her brother, so she naturally doesn't understand Ah Yi's mood at this time.
Ah Yi was silent for a long time, Xia Xiaoxiao knew that he didn't plan to answer her, and asked, "How old is your sister?" How about the husband you married? In fact, I think that a woman's family should not marry too early, when she was a child, the girl's family was not very sensible, and if she married into a bad husband's family, it was easy to be wronged. ”
"It's about the same as you." Ah Yi seemed to think for a while, "Have you been wronged?" ”
"Am I so big? That age should be fine. Xia Xiaoxiao also calculated, she is now sixteen, when she married Beigong Yu was thirteen, she felt that she was not good at marrying early, if she marries again now, in fact, it is almost the same, at the end, only then did she react A Yi asked her, and said, "I don't think about it now, it can be regarded as the first ...... of my future destined extraordinary life."
Before she blurted out the word start, she immediately closed her voice, Ah Yi glanced at her for a long time, threw the dog's tail grass to the ground and slowly mocked, "Sure enough, I've read too much of the book, no one has ever told you that in fact, the trick of dressing up as a man doesn't work at all?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was blocked, and was a little surprised, "You already saw it?" ”
"Or else? Who told you that you can trust the things in your book? ”
He sneered again, Xia Xiaoxiao was blocked again, these, she did learn from the book, but when she was with Ji Xiaoer, she often dressed as a man, at that time, she entered the Red Mansion openly and didn't recognize the mother of the old bustard who read countless women, why is it now seen at a glance?
In fact, she didn't think that she and Ji Xiaoer were still young when they were young, and their bodies were not growing well, so they naturally looked like a weak student.
"You are also bold enough, a girl who doesn't know martial arts dares to run such a long way, so you are not afraid of being forced halfway?" Ah Yi said with a little joking.
Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't listen to this joke, and when he sat up, he threw the horsetail grass he had just thrown in his face, "Your uncle dares to curse me!" It's okay to go so far along the way! Immediately, she hurriedly pulled her shirt and moved her buttocks, looking at Ah Yi like a pervert, and said vigilantly, "It's not what you want to do to the uncle!" ”
"You'd better find a mirror and look at yourself first."
Ah Yi looked at her from top to bottom in disgust, got up and lay down in a place that was not far from her but extremely safe, turned over and turned his back to her, as if he was going to sleep.
Xia Xiaoxiao also looked at herself from top to bottom, without a mirror, she took out her little short sword, pulled it away and looked at the flat sword body as a mirror, looking horizontally and vertically, although it was indeed inferior to her sister Xia Yingxi's amazing beauty, but it could be regarded as a little beauty with peach blossoms and bright eyes, she turned her head angrily to see Ah Yi was facing away from her, a woman, any man said a word to let her look in the mirror and look at this sentence will be very unhappy, Maybe the person who should look in the mirror is him, with a dark face and dark skin, and she can't even see her facial features clearly in the night, where is she qualified to say that she is ugly?
There was a hazy moonlight in the sky, sprinkled with small spots of light on the ground, Xia Xiaoxiao fell asleep with her own burden, she never talked about any sleeping position when she fell asleep, her hands were spread out with a big grin, there was no carriage, she could only use the ground as a bed and the sky as a quilt, Ah Yi, who should have slept in the past, turned over again, opposite Xia Xiaoxiao was sleeping with a small snoring, no matter what kind of environment she could sleep very sweetly, Ah Yi's quiet eyes seemed to have something flowing, her eyebrows were slightly twisted, but for a moment, disappeared again, and a very imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the morning, there are many birds and birds in the mountains and forests, and the chirping sounds in the ears.
Ah Yi has always gotten up early, and today is no exception, but he feels a little strange, he has always gotten up but Xia Xiaoxiao is sleeping like a pig thunder, I don't know why today, he woke up, and saw Xia Xiaoxiao standing five steps away from a big tree with his back to him, sometimes jumping, sometimes jumping, sometimes squatting a pony step, and from time to time there was a sighing sound from her mouth, but what she was doing, he really didn't see it.
"It's rare to see you wake up so early, what are you doing?"
Ah Yi approached, and as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
I saw that Xia Xiaoxiao was holding two or three cypress leaves in his hands, two pieces between the tips of his left fingers, and one between the index fingers of his right middle finger, and his eyes fell on the tree not far from him.
"How is it, do you think the uncle is deeply hidden?"
Xia Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smug smile, and she threw a few leaves in her hand lightly, and fell to the ground again, standing calmly and calmly, waiting to see Ah Yi's impressed side of her.
It takes a lot of internal strength to use leaves as darts, and when Ah Yi saw the small short sword that fell under the trunk, he suddenly cried and laughed, daring to love that she used a sword to cut a cut on the trunk of the tree and forced the leaves into it, and she could live so ......well in this addiction Proud.
Xia Xiaoxiao was still waiting for Ah Yi to ask her how she did it, but he walked straight past her and walked towards the place where the horse was tied to the other side, and paused halfway, Xia Xiaoxiao saw that he picked up a tender leaf on the ground at random, his hand rose and fell, and a fierce wind passed through his ears, Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly turned his head and stared straight at the trunk of the tree, there were only five leaves on it that she had stuffed in the clumsy way before, and now there was one more on it, and it stood more stable and deeper than any of the previous ones!
This trick Xia Xiaoxiao only mentioned in the book, the master can catch a thing at will can be used as a hidden weapon dart, in their hands, anything can be used as a weapon, she once saw Luo Zhi use one of her hairpins to fight with Beigong Yu's four iron cavalry guards, which surprised her and envied a lot.
Now seeing that Ah Yi can also make anything in his hand lethal like this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he ran towards him with a fart, "Good man, such a good skill doesn't need to be a coachman even if he wants to hide from the enemy, let's go to the city and I'll make a living for you, I think acrobatics are good, and I think this move is much more exciting than those jugglers who swallow swords and spit fire!" ”
"Why don't you go? I see yours have nailed a few leaves well, too. ”
Ah Yi smiled slowly.
Xia Xiaoxiao coughed dryly twice, "This...... I'm still a little bit worse than yours......"
Ah Yi was a little helpless, and led the horse over, "Why do you like these things about swords and guns on the rivers and lakes?" And you won't ...... yet."
"I was beaten a lot when I was a child." Xia Xiaoxiao didn't think so, Ah Yi reached out to help her get on the horse, now that they have no horses, they have to rush to the road, and this is faster than the speed of the carriage. Xia Xiaoxiao was not reserved, she held his hand and rode up, Ah Yi rode behind her, and the horse walked in the direction with its hooves raised without hurry.
Xia Xiaoxiao continued, "Those of you who know martial arts naturally don't know the difficulties of those of us who don't know martial arts. ”
"You are not the only one in this world who doesn't know martial arts, isn't it okay to stay at home and be your own lady?"
"As soon as I heard what you said, I knew that you had never been beaten when you were a child." Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head and glanced at him, and suddenly remembered his childhood, "My mother died early, and then my father found me a second mother, I don't like them very much, my father doesn't like me because of this, my mother is gone, no one can protect me, since my mother left, I have been beaten a lot in my father's hands, but how do I think he is also my father, at most I can only be angry with him, beaten next to him, scolded next to each other, and suffered humiliation. We're just a little devil on that street......"
Xia Xiaoxiao recalled, while telling Ah Yi bit by bit about the times when she was a child, she and Ji Xiaoer have been in the streets and alleys all the year round, and they don't manage or ask the law, and there are also some people who are much older than them who can't get used to them, and they are always targeted everywhere, at that time, Xia Xiaoxiao, whether at home or outside, was beaten almost every day, of course, Ji Xiaoer was similar, even worse than her, when she was ten years old, there was a famous gangster on the street again, She and Ji Xiaoer went to steal two chickens to eat because they were hungry, but they didn't want to steal the snacks of this gangster, and they found four or five seventeen or eighteen-year-old people to beat them half to death, really half dead, at that time, because of the men's clothing, those people were not ambiguous at all, but she was a woman after all, and her ability to resist the fight could not withstand Ji Xiaoer, and she almost died of wound infection afterwards, since then, she and Ji Xiaoer have longed to be a strong martial arts hero in the future, and even thought about going to Shaolin Temple to learn art, But Shaolin didn't accept female apprentices, and Ji Xiaoer didn't go either, and then ...... Before she and Ji Xiaoer's plan could be carried out, she was summoned into the palace by a will of Yun Cheng......
Now that she is out of the palace, I don't know how Ji Xiaoer is doing now, he is not two years older than her, but at this age, it should be the age of getting married, I don't know if I have a wife, whether I have a child, but I said that if she has a child, she will have to be her father-in-law.
Xia Xiaoxiao said this long recollection, her mouth was a little thirsty, but she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in her heart, she had never mentioned the past to anyone before she married Beigong Yu, she was actually a little inferior, she married Beigong Yu at that time, she didn't want Beigong Yu to know what she did at the beginning, after all, she still liked him at that time, she was a little inferior compared to those concubines in his palace, and then she said these things, it was even more incomparable, and later I knew, In fact, Beigong Yu doesn't care about these things at all, what he cares about is only the people who put it in his heart.
For a long time, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't hear any movement from Ah Yi behind her, but it was the first time she told these stories to an outsider, so this person couldn't give her a little reaction? I couldn't help but turn around to look at him, but I didn't know that this turn happened to hit Ah Yi's eyes like two dark gems, quiet, profound, and as if something was moving in the depths.
"Why, don't you feel some sympathy for me? Oops, in fact, I'm not that miserable, it's all when I was a child, sometimes people have to be beaten when it's itchy, I think my skin has always been itchy. ”
Xia Xiaoxiao snorted, retracting her gaze a little unnaturally, and a little annoyed, although she was a half-baked person, what did she do with him so much? However, she seems to want to say it to him, for so many years, she has not had a friend who can listen to her complaints, and for some reason, Ah Yi seems to be able to be her friend.
"If you really want to learn, I can teach you."
As soon as Xia Xiaoxiao sat down, Ah Yi's voice with a little hoarse came from behind him, low and deep, Xia Xiaoxiao had always felt that his voice was not like his person, and he looked a little old, but at this moment, he actually felt a little good.
