CHAPTER XX

Previous Chapter

That day, I was bored and cleaned up the house. Unexpectedly, Li Yan left me a letter.

"Hua Sheng, in fact, sometimes think about it, if this king was not born in the emperor's family, maybe we would be happier! But since this is already the case, then in this life, no matter what, I hope we can never give up. Wait for me. ”

I haven't seen him for half a month. I can still feel the warmth when he's there. And now, when I think of my father's mother's absence, my brother's loss, and even the only one who went to the battlefield, I feel really lonely like duckweed.

The dim candlelight, the rain outside the window and the large plantains, I miss him even more. At night, I don't want to cry, but my pillow gets wet just thinking about it.

I finally managed to survive until the next day, and I talked to Master and Master. So I rode my little red horse and ran to the north.

My journey was really as my master feared, and the road was full of thorns.

On the first day I went out, at dusk, I saw that the horses were a little tired, so I found a river for the horses to drink. I sat on a tree with a crooked neck and ate dry food. The mountains in the distance were blood-red, and crows were crowning in piles overhead. The little red horse, who had been drinking quietly, suddenly became impatient.

I saw that the situation was a little wrong, so I stepped on a higher branch and looked, oh my God! Five or six wolves were coming towards us. They also crept up from different directions. I saw that the little red horse had broken free from the reins. Waiting for me under the tree, he jumped from the tree to the horse. The horses ran so fast that they startled the wolves, and they quickly chased after them. There's a gray wolf that is about to catch up with us. I was about to sprinkle the poison powder when my little red horse kicked it in the eye, and it curled up in pain and whirled on the ground.

I touched my horse: it's my baby, it's good. Look at mine next time.

The little red horse was still running hard, and the wolves behind us were still a little distance away. I'm thinking about it, and I'm going to try my new poison.

I stopped the horse and turned its head. The wolves behind also stopped tremblingly when they saw us stop. There was drooling from the corners of his mouth, staring at us.

"Come on, brothers, I'll give you a taste."

I saw the direction of the wind and sprinkled red poisonous powder, which was mixed in the wind and instantly sucked into the nose of the wolves. I rode away on the little red horse, and in a moment the wolves fell to the ground as if drunk.

Breaking away from the wolves, I didn't dare to stop and was about to find a place to rest, but I was stopped by a hunter-like man.

"Girl, I saw you kill that group of beasts by yourself, you are really capable."

I smiled and didn't answer, "Uncle, do you know where there is an inn?" ”

"Otherwise, give me these beasts, and I'll take you to our house. I also have a girl as big as you in my family. ”

Seeing that I hesitated, there were no words.

"I'm not a bad person, my home is in a nearby village. I usually make a living by hunting. I was staring at those wolves just now, and I had dug a trap, but I was lured by your horse. ”

I thought, forget it, or I'll go with him, it's going to be dark anyway.

"Uncle, then you take me to your house. Take those wolves if you want. ”

"Then I'll thank you."

He tied the wolves together with ropes, and I asked my little red horse to drag them for him, but he said that it was too heavy to drag, so he found some grass to cover them, and said that he would take the donkey cart of the family to pull them. I led the horse with him to the trap and picked up the bleating lamb.

When it got dark, I finally walked to his house.

"Dad, are you back?"

As soon as we entered the courtyard, a girl greeted us with a lantern. The yellow light shone on her face, and her eyebrows were clear.

"This girl is a guest I brought back, Ning Xi, you watch go to the kitchen and cook something to eat."

"Okay. Then you take the guests to the back room and sit, and the mother has just lit a fire. ”

As soon as I walked in, I saw that the woman looked very much like my mother. And the tears flowed up. The girl brought the food and saw me like this, "Sister, is she unwell?" ”

"My eyes burn a little from the smoke."

She hurriedly took the bamboo tube that blew the fire and burned the fire to the brim. Her mother made me a cup of oil tea. Smiled and handed it to me: "The things of our villagers are not good, I hope you don't dislike them." ”

I hurriedly caught it: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

The uncle told them the story of my victory over the wolves alone. In the end, she praised me vigorously for not letting me shave my eyebrows. I blushed a little from being complimented.

"Where is my sister going alone?"

"I'm going to find someone in Northern Xinjiang."

"The war in the northern Xinjiang, how dangerous it is for you to go!"

"I'm not afraid." The thought of him fills me with strength.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, my husband was also arrested to fight. If you are lucky enough to see him, please tell him that he must come back safely, and I will wait for him. ”

The girl named Ning Xi cried as she spoke.

Her father told me.

It turned out that on the day of the girl's wedding, when the wedding was being held, her husband was arrested and went to fight in northern Xinjiang.

I felt a little uncomfortable when I heard this, how many tragedies have been caused by the war. It was a candle night in the cave room, but the war was ruined.

"What's his name, I'll look for him for you then."

"His name is Zheng Yi." The girl choked up.

"This child is also a hard-working person, his parents died when he was a child, and he was taken in by the owner of the pawnshop at the age of six or seven, and he ate as a man. We only have one daughter in Ningxi, I think he is honest and honest, decent, and found someone to match him, and he is willing to come to our house to be a door-to-door son-in-law for us. Unexpectedly, he was arrested on the day of the wedding. Iniquity......"

In an instant, I suddenly felt that all living beings were living so miserably. Life is really hard.
