As the night deepened, the sky was a deep blue glaze, with a lone star in the distance. The night wind blew the grass, and there was a rustling sound in her ears, Shen Qiang Rose stood in the middle of the grass, looking into the distance, but on the other side of the sky, it was quiet and deep, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The night breeze is gradually getting stronger, but standing here quietly at such a quiet moment, I feel extremely stable. Ruan Hongyu came back soon, she changed into a pair of cloth shoes, stood on the slope with one foot, and stretched out her hand towards Shen Qiangrose, "You go down, I'll catch you." ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that she was wrapped in a colorful cotton coat, and the residual makeup on her face had not been removed, obviously she was still the same Ruan Hongyu from before, but at this moment, she had lost her hypocrisy, but it was much more refreshing, so she stretched out her hand, Ruan Hongyu grabbed her hand hard, and slowly led her down.

It wasn't until she went downhill that Ruan Hongyu panted and said, "There is an old family living in front of her, and they promised to take us in for a night." ”

Shen Qiangrose followed her towards the courtyard in front of her, and saw a small courtyard, with a dim yellow oil lamp hanging at the door, and the old couple had already greeted her, and when they saw Shen Qiangrose's big belly, they hurriedly led people into the house.

The old lady of the family was very enthusiastic and took the boiled sweet potatoes for them to eat, Ruan Hongyu was really hungry and ate two in a row. Shen Qiangrose was just tired, leaning on the kang, listening to Ruan Hongyu and the old woman chatting and laughing, and fell asleep after a while.

Originally, in this season, the fire kang at home had long been gone, and the old woman knew that the pregnant person was afraid of the cold, so she asked the old woman to burn the fire, and by the way, she burned a lot of hot water. After Ruan Hongyu washed up briefly, she saw that Shen Qiangrose's face was pale and she was sleeping quite peacefully, but her feet were very swollen, so she took a towel and soaked it in hot water and applied it to her feet.

When the old woman first saw Ruan Hongyu dressed up fashionably, she only thought she was a noble lady, but she didn't want her to take care of people, but she was not ambiguous, Ruan Hongyu was in a good mood at this time, so she said: "I was sold by my parents to the troupe to learn drama since I was a child, how can I not do anything?" It's just that now my identity is different, and I always want to dress up better, so that I forget my former identity, but now that I think about it, it's just that I'm lying to myself. ”

She took a towel and soaked it in the water, and whispered, "Actually, what's wrong with being yourself!" She raised her eyes, her eyes were bright as if they were embellished with stars, "At that time, I was studying drama in the opera troupe, and the class owner was not allowed to eat this or that, for fear that I would ruin my throat and not be able to learn the play, I was also angry and mixed into a pillar, but women are the most unbearable, I looked at those dramas that have retired from generation to generation, and in the end, didn't they ask for firewood, rice, oil and salt?" What else do you say that a good voice is not stained with fireworks? In the end, isn't it all about vulgarity? ”

She just cared about saying it upside down, and she couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, but she had experienced the most bitter days, and also experienced the most beautiful days, and in the end she felt that it was a floating dream, just like three thousand miles of rivers, gurgling forward, day after day, but the people on the river were in a thousand forms, just like the flowers on the riverside, blooming in the most gorgeous days, and then withering after the season, people are the same, there is always a good time, and there is a bad time.

She hadn't been to school for a few days, but she had endured a lot, and many things were seen. The window lattices blown by the night wind whirled, and the moonlight shone in through the bright paper, which was exceptionally bright and bright. She leaned on the other side, raised her eyes to look at the bright moon, white like frost, but after looking at it for a long time, she felt a chill in her heart.

It wasn't until the morning that the old woman woke them up, and Ruan Hongyu asked to know that it turned out that not far ahead was Xifeng Pass, where there was a war a few days ago, and I heard that it was Su Ziyu, the commander of the coalition army, who led the troops. After the two of them had breakfast, they said goodbye to the old couple and walked down the path.

Ruan Hongyu saw that she had gone far away, so she said: "I really didn't expect Su Ziyu to be in such a place where birds don't, since he is in Xifeng Pass, we might as well go and beg him." ”

Shen Qiangrose thought about Su Ziyu's current situation, but she couldn't make up her mind, she said: "He, the joint commander, is just a good name, and he may not have any real power." ”

Ruan Hongyu naturally knew what she was worried about, so she said, "According to the third son's cleverness, how can he be willing to be such an unclear official?" I'm afraid that I would abandon Lu Yuping a long time ago and make my own decisions. ”

She paused, "There are a lot of unclear things here, at that time, Qishao fell into the hands of Lu Yuping, or he wanted to save him out, outsiders rumored that their Su family brothers were not harmonious, and when I saw the big right and wrong, they may not be unaligned." ”

Shen Qiangrose heard her say this, and suddenly remembered the words of the old lady when she was sacrificing to the first lady. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Ruan Hongyu say: "It's a pity that I couldn't see it clearly at that time, just because their brothers were at odds, I originally wanted to buy off the guards, but I was sent to prison by Lu Yuping." ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to what she said very ordinary, and her heart didn't move somehow, and she slowed down before saying, "Hongyu, you are a good person." ”

Ruan Hongyu snorted and laughed, "If you let a few sons hear this, they will definitely laugh at your naivety." ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't say anything, but said with a smile: "When you left this morning, didn't you give that old woman a piece of ocean?" Why did you stuff ten oceans under your pillow? ”

Ruan Hongyu was also embarrassed somehow, and said with a smile: "You are really slippery." ”

The two men looked at each other, but they both smiled. At this time, the morning sun gradually erupted, and the two of them walked along the path, all the way twists and turns. After walking a long way in this way, I saw that the mountains in front of me were rocky, and the sheep intestine path was only narrow, and it had been winding to the bottom of the mountain, and there were rocks and gravel on both sides, but it was not easy to walk.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and the two of them were originally full of energy, but they still consumed a lot of physical strength to go down, so they chose a mountain rock to sit down, Ruan Hongyu saw that Shen Qiangrose's face had changed, so she said, "You have a good rest." ”

Shen Qiangrose's feet were very swollen at this time, originally she changed her cloth shoes, and it was very comfortable to walk, but after this way, her feet were swollen again, but she was in a panic, but in this situation, she didn't mention it, so she smiled reluctantly.

Ruan Hongyu walked to the other side, and saw that there were trees on the opposite side, there was originally a road, built plain, although it was also a mountain road, but it was much smoother, at a glance, she knew that it was a road open to traffic, she knew that this road that often came and went must be passed, so she saved her mind to stop people, turned back to Shen Qiangrose and said, "You wait here, I'll go over there and have a look." ”

Shen Rose nodded, and watched her walk through the woods step by step, moving forward. She just changed into a water-blue cheongsam this morning, and refused to wear cloth shoes like her, still wearing those small leather shoes, and walked with a click, looking at her back like this, it was Chu Chu Slender and very moving.

Surrounded by lush trees, she walked among them, a delicate woman, like a painting. Shen Qiangrose watched her stand on the side of the road, took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, but she didn't know what she saw, so she waved her hand at the end with a handkerchief.

Shen Qiangrose thought that she had seen someone, so she got up and walked over slowly. Immediately I heard the rustle of a car pressing on the ground, it turned out that a car was passing by, and I turned my head to look at Ruan Hongyu, and saw that she looked like she couldn't make up her mind.

Shen Qiangrose took a few steps forward, and saw several military vehicles slowly driving over, Ruan Hongyu waved her handkerchief, and the car at the head stopped, and there were many soldiers with guns standing behind, Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but panic at first glance.

She took a few more steps forward, and now her feet were so swollen that she walked as if she were stepping on cotton, and the sun was scorching above her head, and she felt dizzy after a few steps. But I can't take care of a lot, just move forward one by one.

The trees on both sides were luxuriant, and the dappled light of the sun shone brightly, and she looked dizzy, thinking that the road was very close, but when she walked, she realized that it was very far. When I raised my eyes, I saw a man in a ginger military uniform, because he was wearing a pair of military boots under his feet, his style was different from that of other soldiers, and there were guards in front and behind to protect him.

But it wasn't until the man turned his head to look at her that she couldn't help but be taken aback, it turned out that this person was Su Ziyu.

Ruan Hongyu had already greeted her with a smile, and it wasn't until she got close that she said, "I'll just say that we were lucky, and we ran into the third prince directly." ”

Seeing Shen Qiangrose's pale face, she took her arm, "Take a few more steps, and we'll take the car." ”

Shen Qiang Rose didn't want to always look weak, so she gritted her teeth and walked forward. Fortunately, it was soon approaching, and he hadn't seen him for more than a month, Su Ziyu was much darker, and the suaveness between his eyebrows also turned into tough, he smiled politely, "Rose, long time no see." ”

Shen Qiangrose also smiled, "Third son." ”

Ruan Hongyu took her into the car, and Su Ziyu sat on the upside-down seat, he glanced at the two of them before saying lightly, "How did you get here?" ”

Ruan Hongyu smiled charmingly, "I remember that the third son liked to drop his bookbag the most, why didn't he even forget that sentence?" Isn't this the so-called life where we don't meet? ”

Su Ziyu smiled, "Miss Ruan is really a fierce woman, it turns out that Lu Yuping's whip still didn't beat you." ”

He turned to Shen Qiangrose and glanced at her lightly before saying, "I will inform Lao Qi to pick you up, and you can stay here for this time." ”

Shen Qiangrose heard this, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated. turned to a deep dazedness, she had experienced too many changes along the way, and she was so desperate that she didn't believe anything, but didn't she come this far to believe? The car had already driven slowly, and the shadows of the trees on both sides were mottled, reflecting in front of the window, making it even more shadowy.

When I raised my eyes to look, I saw that the mountain road was flat and stretched straight forward, but I couldn't see the end. The sun in the canopy glowed with golden light, and when it was reflected, it was a vast land.
