Chapter 12: The Quiet World (8)
Qingwu Town is located at the end of the Youjiang River, across the towering Luoshan Mountain, adjacent to the Beidi Yanxi Town.
Luoshan Mountain is steep and plagued by robbers all year round, so it is an indisputable place between the north and the south. This time, Chen Jincheng raided the south, but it was over Luoshan Mountain and approached Qingwu Town. Fortunately, there are perennial garrisons in Qingwu Town in the south, and the defense was strengthened some time ago. Chen Jincheng did not succeed, but the situation is not optimistic.
Although Chen Jincheng did not capture Qingwu Town, before he attacked the town, the group of robbers on Luoshan also went down the mountain together. Almost ransacked the merchants of the entire Qingwu Town. The defenders had to defend themselves against the gunfire of the soldiers, and on the other hand, they had to deal with the robbers and protect the townspeople. After the battle, most of the defenders went.
He Shiyi listened to the report of the resident commander, and pursed his thin lips. finally made a decision: 'Go to Qingwu in person and fight with Chen Jincheng.' ’
Qin Yiqian sat under He Shiyi, he had worked with him for many years, and he had known each other since he was in Zhuotai, and he knew what kind of revenge and ambition this young marshal had. It is understandable that he made such a decision, because on the one hand, he could establish his prestige in the army, and on the other hand, he could also record his military exploits. But the dangers also coexist, and there are still many dignitaries who support Luo Chuanhua. And in this battle, Chen Jincheng in the north is a ruined move, and the victory or defeat is unknown.
He Shiyi is willing to lead the troops in person, and those dignitaries are naturally happy. His face was very relaxed.
Five days later, General He Shiyi led his troops south to clear Wu.
He Xinwan's funeral was very solemn, full of white, and the entire Huanyuan Mansion was draped in white for her. Just like her wedding to Luo Rongkai, the entire Huanyuan Mansion was red for her. There were a lot of people who came, or they had seen He Xinwan's side, or they had nothing to do with it, all of them had sad expressions, but He Shiyi didn't remember who they were.
He walked all the way holding his mother's tablet, and all kinds of the past were vivid. Next to him was Zhuang Xiaoxian. Aunt Zhuang beside her became old and weakened overnight. Thinking about it carefully, in the memory of his mother, Zhuang Xiaoxian always inevitably appears. He Shiyi secretly made up his mind that he must honor Aunt Zhuang in the future.
After the funeral, the crowd gradually dispersed, and there were still unburned incense candles on the main hall of the Yaci residence.
"Wet suits." Zhuang Xiaoxian stood under the porch, his figure slender.
"Aunt Zhuang." He Shiyi put down the incense candles in his hand and walked out.
"After your mother's funeral, I'm going back to Zhuyuan."
"Aunt Zhuang, you stay in Jinyuan, I will take care of you......"
"I naturally understand your filial piety, but when people live for a lifetime, they want to return to their roots. I'm glad that you can come and see me all the time. ”
He Shiyi couldn't speak for a long time, and finally nodded slightly. Standing at the bottom of the corridor, he could see Luo Rongkai curled up on the Taishi chair in the lobby. In the past few days, Luo Rongkai has obviously been much more tired. Suddenly, a terrible idea flashed into my mind, should I live like the person in front of me when I am old?
At this point, my mood is inexplicably anxious and abnormal, and I desperately need to see someone.
When He Shiyi instructed Wu Wu to drive to the Huanyuan Mansion, it was almost dark.
The car was driving on the road, and the rain was falling in torrential drops. When he entered the courtyard of the official residence, He Shiyi did not get out of the car. The small lights in the carriage were turned on, and the orange light was dim, and Wu Wu remembered that He Shiyi had not eaten anything after a busy day. Carefully looking through the rearview mirror, He Shiyi just looked out the car window without saying a word, the direction of the shallow room of the official villa, and did not mean to get out of the car.
It was dark outside, the rain was pouring down, and the light was not lit in the light room. Actually, nothing can be seen.
He wet clothes didn't get out of the car, and Wu Wu could only sit stiffly in the cab. In the second half of the night, I couldn't stop napping. I woke up in a daze, and I saw the light of day.
Looking back at He Shiyi, I thought that I hadn't closed my eyes all night, and I was still in that posture, looking out of the car window.
"You go and bring Konishi here." Leng Buding'er, He Shiyi's voice came from behind the car.
Wu Wu was slightly stunned and hurriedly got out of the car.
It rained, and the whole Huanshan was filled with a layer of white mist. The mountain road was muddy, and he gritted his teeth and walked in front, because he knew that He Shiyi was following closely behind, so he stubbornly wanted to go more steadily and faster. After walking for a while, I felt very difficult.
"I didn't sleep well last night, let's get some rest!" He Shiyi didn't wait for Qingqian's consent, took out a square towel, spread it on a stone bench next to the mountain road, and sat next to him.
Qingqian knew that He Wetyi deliberately said that he was resting to take care of himself, and he didn't want to take it, but he didn't want to talk to him. can only stand there stiffly, waiting for He to wet clothes. Just now, he specially sent Xiaoxi out to pass a message to himself, early in the morning, he must accompany him to climb the mountain. He Shiyi didn't mean to force it, Qingqian was willing to come, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with He Shiyi.
He wetclothes saw that he didn't sit clearly, and he didn't force it.
In the huge mountain forest, on this side of the path, the two of them sat and stood together, just facing each other lukewarmly. He Shiyi's heart was unusually difficult, almost wanting to let go of everything in front of him, and hugging the person in front of him without hesitation. But reason told him that he had to endure.
Qing Qian casually looked over, and happened to look at He Shiyi's eyes looking at him. After a pause, he said coldly: "Rest? Let's go! With that, he walked straight up the mountain.
He Shiyi sat on the stone bench and watched the figure of Qingqian gradually walking away for a long time. suddenly got up quickly, ran over, and grabbed Qingqian's wrist: "You are pregnant, let me carry you." ”
When Qing Qian heard the words "pregnant", his face had already changed greatly. No matter how vigorously Rao is wet clothes hold, she is struggling to the death. The slender and pale wrist suddenly turned red.
"Okay, I won't carry you. Let's go slower, shall we? In the past, He Shiyi had also seen a shallow temper, but he had never been so stubborn this time. I thought that she was pregnant with their child, and for the sake of the child, there might be some turnaround. Looking at Qing Qian like this, fear slowly oozes out of my heart.
The person on the other side still had bloodshot eyes in his eyes. Last night, I sat in the car and didn't sleep all night! Don't you love him? No. Don't you hate? Neither is it. Qingqian just wants to leave, far away. Qingqian knew that because of her father, she and He Shiyi would never go back to before. But because of the child in the womb, it can't be involved since then.
He Shiyi's feelings for her, how could she not know. If so, then both of them will suffer!
With her, life and death are actually not much different.
Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountain, people seem to be in an ethereal mist. The Huanyuan Mansion at the foot of the mountain looms in the mountains and forests, it is almost early winter, the grass and trees are withered, and the pines and cypresses are still evergreen, occasionally embellished with this decadence.
The mountain wind was fierce, and the light hair was blown flying: "This time, let me go!" ”
"Shh He Shiyi carefully circled Qingqian, and as soon as Qingqian struggled, He Shiyi exerted his strength.
"Last time, you said that you wanted me to accompany you to see the snow scene, but now I am afraid that I will not be able to see this solar term. I've promised you a lot of things, but it doesn't seem to have worked. He Shiyi's jaw was buckled between the shallow neck sockets, and with his deep voice, streams of hot air sprayed on the shallow neck. Qing Qian's whole body stood there stiffly, forgetting about the struggle.
"I treat you badly, but the child is innocent. You gave birth to him, and I will depend on you whatever you want. Good no good? He Shiyi's voice was very low and soft, and the whole voice was dumb.
The shallow left ear is the whistling mountain wind, and the right ear is the whisper of He Wet's clothes. The two voices overlapped repeatedly, like a mess of numbness, intertwined in Qingqian's brain.
Qingqian felt that his brain was swollen: "I will take good care of the child, and you let me go abroad." ”
"Hmm. When I come back, I will do what you want. ”
"Come back? Where are you going? ”
"Now the situation is delicate, I want to go to Qingwu, and I will be back in a few days." He Shiyi was reluctant to mention the Northland with Qing Qian, so he only passed by.
"If you have the heart, it won't be difficult to send me out now." Trouble in the north has been going on for a long time, but there has never been a fight. Qingqian has not left an unexpected political situation these days, so why is the wet suit looking for an excuse.
"I know you're not going to believe me anymore, but now that the situation is going on, I'm trying to be prepared...... Your bento is because I want to keep you by my side for a few more days. ”
"But I don't want to see you for a moment." Qingqian knew that he had said hurtful things, but he felt a little cooler in his heart.
He Shiyi's body tightened: "I know, if you and I meet again, I will definitely send you abroad." ”
The mountain wind is cold, and after standing for a long time, the whole body stiffens. The two of them stood silently, and at the end of the mountain, a red sun slowly rose. He wet clothes tightened the light clothes: "Sunrise, what do you say our child is called?" ”
The sun slowly rose, red and red. Qing Qian moved his lips slightly, but finally didn't say anything.
"If it's a girl, it's called Yilan, and you've always loved orchids. That time in the café, you liked those two pots of orchids so much. If it's a boy, it's called Mu Qing, what do you think? ”
Qingqian listened to He Wet's voice, and poured out a little joy in the inquiry, Mu Qing? How could she not understand the meaning of the name? Suddenly resentment arose in his heart, and he said coldly: "Wouldn't it be better to admire it?" ”
"Well, well, it's good." He Shiyi's face stiffened, but then he agreed.
After a long time, the sun became brighter and brighter, and the two were silent in the first rays of the morning sun.
He Shiyi's voice started again: "The child's name is all named, when you get there, you have to take good care of yourself." Don't break your body because you're angry. I'm not a good person, if you don't cherish yourself over there, Ge Jing won't be happy. ”
"You ......" Qing Qian turned around abruptly and stared coldly at He Shiyi
"Since you hate me, I'm not afraid to bear more." He Shiyi smiled abruptly. Stretched out his hand to Qingqian: "It's not too early, let's go down the mountain!" ”
Qingqian was silent for a long time, and finally reached out to hold it.
