There are two dilapidated houses in the valley at the northern foot of Yishan, the thatched eaves are low, the tile walls are messy, and they are particularly precarious under the thousands of peaks.

At night, Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao to come here with the woodcutter, he seemed to be unintentional but actually intentional, and asked: "I heard that you met when you were abducted when you were young, dare to ask Brother Tai if you are from here?" ”

The woodcutter turned around, looked at Zhou Yu's critical gaze, and said timidly: "Wan'er, why does your brother always ask me these things, it's weird and scary." ”

When they first met at noon, Zhou Yu lied that he was Xiao Qiao's brother in order to hide his identity, but he was very polite to Xiao Qiao, and he didn't have the intimacy between brother and sister at all, and he pressed the woodcutter step by step. Xiao Qiao glanced at Zhou Yu helplessly, and joked: "My brother likes to ask some questions, don't pay attention to him." ”

Seeing Xiao Qiao arranging himself like this in front of this woodcutter, Zhou Yu was quite unhappy, and became a little more vigilant about this person.

Walking to the door of the room, the woodcutter Zhang Luo said: "Before, our sister and brother depended on each other, and my sister got married three years ago, and now I am the only one who lives alone. Since you are brothers and sisters, let's live together in that room. ”

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao glanced at each other, and both turned their heads uncomfortably. Zhou Yu's face was pale, but he tried his best to be calm and natural: "Disturb, dare to ask your name." ”

The woodcutter replied: "The surname is long, the single name is long, the word Muxiu, dare to ask Your Excellency......"

Zhou Yu also made up his name, afraid that he would be exposed, so he turned around and walked into the grass house without waiting for Changmu Xiu to finish asking.

Xiao Qiao didn't accompany Zhou Yu, and asked in a coquettish voice with his back hand: "Brother Xiu, after many years, I didn't expect to meet here...... How did you get out in the first place? ”

Changmu Xiu smiled clearly: "Besides, not long after you ran away, a group of officers and soldiers came to kill the bastard, and our children were released." It's just that it is not clear why we were arrested, and what is the use of arresting us. ”

"As long as people are fine", Little Joe yawned, "I'm tired, go and rest first, thank you Brother Xiu for letting us stay overnight." ”

After saying that, Xiao Qiao jumped and walked to the hut. Changmu Xiu called softly after him: "Wan'er......"

Xiao Qiao turned around and tilted his head, blinking his big eyes, only to hear Changmu Xiu say softly: "It's good to see you again, I'm very happy......"

Xiao Qiao's apricot eyes crooked, and he replied: "Me too!" ”

In the thatched house, Zhou Yu carefully inspected the furnishings in the house. As Nagaki Xiu said, the clothes here are indeed arranged like the boudoir of a married daughter. Xiao Qiao walked into the room and teased, "What's wrong with Lord Zhou today?" Aggressive, not at all suave? ”

Zhou Yu turned back to Xiao Qiao, and there was a rare displeasure in her clear and clear eyes: "Miss Xiao Qiao, don't get close to strange men, beware of deceitful ......"

Xiao Qiao blinked his eyes and smiled: "Since it's my brother, is it appropriate to call me Miss Xiao Qiao?" ”

Zhou Yu's body froze, his thin lips trembled, and he couldn't say "Wan'er" at all. Seeing Zhou Yu doing this, the corner of Xiao Qiao's mouth bent: "That's it, it's not early, just rest early." ”

Zhou Yu picked up a soft mat and put it at the door, shook the hem of his clothes, and sat down in a chic manner: "You must be tired today, just sleep well, Sister Wan." ”

It seems that Zhou Yu only recognizes the title of "Wan'er" in his heart, and there is no room for others to get involved. Xiao Qiao said "hmm" as an agreement, lay on the couch with his clothes, turned his back to Zhou Yu, and thought to himself: Since this is so unkind, why not go directly to become a monk, and save people from being sad.

The more Xiao Qiao thought about it, the more irritable she became, tossing back and forth and unable to sleep, she simply got up and stayed, only to see Zhou Yu leaning against the door panel, closing her eyes and sleeping. Xiao Qiao stepped forward lightly, squatted down slowly, and looked at Zhou Yu's sleeping face, his eyebrows were picturesque, his nose was straight, the dragon and phoenix posture, the natural quality was really extraordinary. The resentment in his heart instantly disappeared by half, and Xiao Qiao secretly admired Zhou Yu's radiance, as long as he got close to him, he felt embarrassed. In this way, where can I hope to get along with him naturally.

Xiao Qiao laughed at himself before he was about to get up, but who knew that Zhou Yu actually opened his eyes and asked softly, "Have you seen enough?" ”

Xiao Qiao couldn't help but be embarrassed, and sat on the ground: "You...... Didn't you sleep? ”

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Qiao up, and said in a low voice: "I've been thinking about it, this Changmu Xiu is really a little strange here......

"Strange?" Xiao Qiao tilted his head in confusion, "When I was a child, I remember Brother Xiu said that his family had been woodcutters in the mountains for generations, but I just happened to meet here......"

"But he can't even remember which mountain you were taken to, he must have been eleven or twelve years old at that time?"

Xiao Qiao retorted in a low voice: "If you think he is lying, go back and check the county records of each county to see if you have gone up the mountain to suppress bandits that year, won't it be clear?" ”

What Xiao Qiao said is reasonable, but is it really not related to the strange birds, the cave at the foot of Yishan and Sun Jian? Zhou Yu thought about it repeatedly, and always felt that he had missed some key clues.

The breeze chirped cicadas in the middle of the night, and Zhou Yu saw Xiao Qiao's sleepy eyes, and instructed: "Go to sleep quickly, don't stay up with me." In addition, can you change your title as Brother Xiu......"

Xiao Qiao was already sleepy and confused, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt a little more energetic, what does Zhou Gongjin mean by this? Is it a taste? But his brows were furrowed, his eyes did not stop at all, and he could not see the slightest hint of jealousy.

"What a weirdo", Xiao Qiao muttered secretly, jumped back to the couch, planted his head on the couch, and had no dreams all night.

In the military camp outside Shucheng, Sun Ce blew a whistle, called Da Wanju, turned over and was about to leave the camp. Hearing this, Mrs. Wu rushed over and stepped forward to stop Sun Ce's way: "Bo Fu! What are you going to do! ”

Sun Ce hurriedly reined in his horse, and the front hooves of Da Wanju were raised, and he swept over the top of Mrs. Wu's head before landing heavily. Sun Quan also rushed out of the tent, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Wu aside: "Mother be careful...... Brother, where are you going in the middle of the night? ”

Sun Ce clenched the reins and said coldly, "I'll go and get Ying'er back." ”

Sun Quan was puzzled: "How could it be...... Isn't Miss Big Joe in the Army? ”

Sun Ce looked at Mrs. Wu, his eyes full of sadness, his lips trembling but he didn't say a word. Mrs. Wu grabbed the horse's bridle and said hurriedly: "Bo Fu, you listen to your mother's words, don't be willful for a while and bury the root cause......

Sun Ce's eyes were full of sorrow, and he was bitter: "Mother, after my father went five years ago, you worked hard to raise our brothers and sisters, and Bo Fu couldn't repay him. Whatever you do, I don't dare to blame you. But Ying'er is different, no matter what, I won't let go......"

After saying that, Sun Ce whipped his horse and galloped away from Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu was anxious, and hurriedly said to Sun Quan beside her: "Your brother has drunk so much wine, how can he make it now!" ”

Sun Quan hurriedly ran to the stable, took out the horse and turned over: "Mother don't worry, I'll protect my brother's safety!" ”

The sky was about to brighten, the curtain fell, Mrs. Wu watched the two sons drive out of the barracks one after the other, submerged in the green mountains and valleys, shivering all around, and the Buddha beads in her hands were like a thousand catties of weight, how could they not move.

Time is in a hurry, passers-by are often, the tide rises and falls, is it fate or disaster? Mrs. Wu let out a long sigh, her eyes closed, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
