Chapter 86

In the far Western Regions, there are two small imperial courts in exile, they are Xiliang and Beiliang, the people led by Xiliang, they are bold and enthusiastic, kind, very hospitable and understand etiquette, like to drink goat milk tea in a big bowl, eat meat, young men love wrestling, play horses, young girls are good at performing and dancing. During the festival, they will invite some elders or distinguished guests, everyone will sit cross-legged around to toast each other, and when night falls, they will light a bonfire, and men, women and children will hold hands and sing and dance around the bonfire.

There was a beautiful little girl and a young man inadvertently held hands, under the four eyes, the little girl blushed and shy, the young man was sincere, and soon the two made a private decision for life, and promised to protect each other for life. During the day, they rode horses together on the vast grassland, and at night they hugged each other and looked at the stars in the sky together, they loved each other very much and were very happy. The young man is handsome and tall, and the little girl is delicate and lovely. The young man looked at the girl snuggled in his arms, and often kissed the girl's forehead with a smile on his face, telling the girl stories. The kind and beautiful little girl actually didn't know that this young and handsome man was Bei Liang's fine work, almost overnight Xiliang was slaughtered and plundered by Bei Liang, the beautiful little girl saw her beloved in armor, horses and horses, and killed her people one by one, but he left the little girl and the little girl's father, he took the little girl and her father back to Beiliang, and promised to marry her, just the night before the marriage, the young man received an order to lead the army to crusade against the rebellious minister and thief Montessori, Unexpectedly, he fell for Montessori's trick and died.

The revenge was not avenged, but the fine work died, the little girl decided to sneak back to Xiliang with her father, the father and daughter rushed all the way non-stop, and on the way they met a man in military uniform, the man was dressed in white, with a saber pinned to his waist, he fainted in the grass unconscious, and his white clothes were red with blood, just like the clouds in the sky. The little girl recognized that this was the military uniform of the Central Plains, then this person must be from the Central Plains, this person looked very young, with her judgment, then the young Central Plains man in military uniform must be a major general, and he was the major general of the Central Plains that was her enemy, because when she was very young, she knew that the Central Plains people had always wanted to destroy them Xiliang, this person could not stay, just when she raised the butcher knife and wanted to kill him, the Central Plains people in front of her suddenly opened their eyes and said to her with an extremely weak breath, save me. At that time, he was so helpless, so vulnerable, his face was covered with blood, and his body was covered with knife wounds, as if he could kill him without much effort. At the critical juncture, the kind-hearted father and daughter relented, and they made a major decision to bring the major general from the Central Plains back to Xiliang and save him.

More than two months later, the little girl found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant, and the child's biological father was the child of the Northern Liang Xizuo, the fine work was dead, where should she go, as a descendant of the Liangzhou clan, how could she do such a depraved thing to shame the clansmen, the little girl wanted to find a short time and was discovered by the Central Plains Major General and stopped her.

In order to repay the girl's kindness, he voluntarily married the girl and lied to the girl's father that it was his own fault and that he must take responsibility. One day, about six or seven years ago, this little girl married the handsome and dashing Major General of the Central Plains, but the little girl never thought that it was not until the wedding night that he knew that the Major General did not love her, but was only grateful for her saving grace at that time. They had never even slept in the same bed, and at first the girl thought that she was not good enough, so she tried hard, but she could not impress the heart of the major general, because the major general had another girl in his heart. Half a year later, she gave birth to a boy, and the major general promised to take care of their mother and son for the rest of their lives.

The major general is not only handsome, but also very heroic, and has always been fierce Xiliang boy compared with the slightest inferior, soon became one of the most powerful generals in Xiliang, led the army to defeat Beiliang when repeatedly won, the major general looks beautiful on the surface, but the girl can see that the major general is actually not happy, as soon as he is free, the major general will sit alone in the room and play the piano, he actually doesn't know at all, he doesn't even understand half of the rhythm, he asked the girl to teach him, the girl asked him what kind of music he likes to listen to, he looked at the direction of the sky, After a long time, "Ten Miles Homecoming" was said.

"Ten Miles Homecoming" is the only song he has ever learned, he keeps practicing, practicing day and night, practicing whenever he is free, his hands are full of blisters, the blisters burst and they begin to bleed, a pair of fingers are swollen, but he still does not give up, and then he finally practiced, he is always affectionate when he plays this song, very selfless, with a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he is quiet in some kind of good memories and pictures.

The girl gradually fell in love with this young and promising major general, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not enter the heart of the major general, even so, the girl was happy, as long as she could be with the major general, how to do it, in her spare time, the major general took a pen and paper, he wanted to paint a picture, the girl was very happy, thinking that the major general was going to paint herself, she sat patiently in the room and waited, waiting, waiting, waiting for the appearance of another girl in the painting. The girl knew that the woman in the painting was the person the major general had in mind.

Even so, what does it matter, now that the major general is in Xiliang, they have worshiped the hall and become married, and swore to heaven and earth, in this life she is his wife, he is her husband, and it will never change, she originally thought that she could grow old with the major general. One day three years later, the major general suddenly told her that he was going back to the Central Plains, returning to Luoyang, he wanted to avenge his father, he wanted to avenge his beloved girl.

In fact, the girl always knew that the major general married her just to repay the favor, which was an expedient measure, and the girl was grateful for the major general's help, and did not hesitate to repay her with her own happiness. But she still fell in love with him, even though he didn't love her, and never touched her, there was only some kind of agreement between them, ostensibly in the name of husband and wife, flirting and scolding, pretending to be a concubine, it was all for outsiders to see, everything was fake.

The day Chu Lianwei left Baifu was a crisp autumn day, and occasionally the wind blew, which would also make people feel a little cool.

It seemed to have become a habit, and the carriage stopped right in front of my yard. Bai Xiaoqiu found a sturdy and spacious carriage, which was stocked with a lot of dry food and supplies, as well as clothes.

I came out to see Chu Lianwei for a ride, standing in front of the carriage and didn't know what to say to Chu Lianwei, I just looked at her intently, I want to remember this strong woman forever, and then gave her a big hug, we hugged each other tightly and cried, as a woman, I sympathize with Chu Lianwei's experience, but what can I say, I only have endless gratitude and guilt in my heart, I have always misunderstood her, and I only blame her for pretending to be too good, and she played this play alive, so many people in the house, even the brutal Zhao Yinlan was deceived by her, She deceived all of us, she is a great aunt and a good woman with affection and righteousness.

I hugged Jun'er, it was the first time I hugged him, and probably the last. Jun'er's little hands helped me wipe away the tears on my face, and her immature voice said to me, "Sir, don't cry, Jun'er and A-Niang will go on a long trip, and they will come back in a few days, and I will still read and paint after I come back, you will teach me, okay."

I nodded again and again and said, "Okay, Jun'er, Mr. will definitely wait for you to come back."

I tried to keep Chu Lianwei and told her not to leave, not to leave Bai Mansion, not to leave Bai Xiaoqiu. Chu Lianwei smiled faintly and said, "You have to have a conscience, from the day I stepped into Baifu, I already recognized you at the wedding scene, although you look a little different from the woman in the painting, and there is a palace pink plum on your forehead, but you can't fool me, with my unique intuition, I can't be wrong." But I promised Xiaoqiu, oh, I was wrong, from today onwards he is your Xiaoqiu, you are the woman in the painting must be right, he is the lover he has always put on the tip of his heart, he strokes the piano for you, paints for you, I once thought about leaving, but I have already discussed with the twelve young people to play a play together, the purpose is to protect you. I hated you, hated you fiercely, complained about you, and even secretly scolded you in my heart, I was jealous of you, and I envied you, many times I acted with Bai Xiaoqiu, and I became real when I acted, I can't tell which one is the real me, remember". She asked me.

I asked rhetorically, "What do you remember?"

Chu Lianwei smiled and said, "Once in the open space at the corridor, Jun'er wiped his hand, and I slapped you hard, that is because I want to hit you from the bottom of my heart, because if it weren't for you, Twelve Young would definitely fall in love with me, I am definitely not what I am now, such an embarrassment." Speaking of which, I am not afraid of your jokes, since the fifth brother took our mother and son from Xiliang to Luoyang, how happy I am, I thought that my years of hard work can finally be rewarded, Twelve Young is sincere to live with me for a lifetime, I never expected you to be in Baifu, I immediately understood, Twelve Young married me completely to cover you, because I know him too well. Mr. Su, whether you believe it or not, my love for Twelve Young will not be less than yours, but it's a pity that fate arranged for him to meet you first, what can I do. I couldn't go before, Jun'er is still young, I need to give him a stable home, a good place to stay, since Jun'er fell in the back mountain and broke his head, you never leave him, take care of him properly, consistently, more careful and thoughtful than me, a mother-in-law, let me be particularly moved, you are a good girl, I can't be so selfish to take the twelve young as my own, I should give him back to you, now the time is ripe, it's time for me to leave. And also..... ”。 Chu Lianwei glanced around and pulled me aside.

I asked, "Is there anything else you have to say?"

"It's that Baifu seems to be a tight military machine, calm and calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, and it can't be prevented, my Jun'er's injury is also because someone got in the way, which caused him to be unconscious for several months, fortunately, my Jun'er is finally fine now, I don't want to put Jun'er in danger anymore, I want to give him a comfortable and comfortable home, and thinking about going back to Xiliang is the best place for me."

I held Chu Lianwei's hands tightly, she is just a woman, how can she have such a strong heart, she understands everything, she can see everything clearly, so she chose to leave.

In the end, Chu Lianwei smiled calmly and said to me, "I saved the twelve young, the twelve young helped me keep my reputation, all the past canceled each other, none of us owe anyone, as for you Feifei, he is destined to be yours, you have to cherish it."

Bai Xiaoqiu mixed Chu Lianwei into the carriage and told her to pay attention to safety all the way, and write to him at any time if she encounters anything. Chu Lianwei smiled faintly, didn't say anything, turned around and lowered the curtain.

Bai Yanleng said that he brought Chu Lianwei and Jun'er back to Baifu three years ago, and three years later, he should still send their mother and son back, and the good thing should be done to the end, he said that he wanted to be a good person through and through.

With tears in my eyes, I asked him, "Nineteen Shao, when will you come back".

Bai Yan smiled coldly, his smile was so pale and weak, and so indifferent, as if he had already seen through all this. He looked up at the sky, the early morning sun shining on his face, warm and soft, his black robes lifted by the breeze, rippling like waves. It turned out that they were all understanding, and I was the only one who was carried away by hatred, thinking that what my eyes saw was the truth of the matter. Bai Yanleng said that he had stayed enough in Baifu, and he also wanted to take a walk around, to Xiliang, and then to the Turks, his A-Niang is a Turk, he can be regarded as half a Turk, A-Niang is dead, but there are still relatives, this time he wants to see those Turkic relatives who have never met. He also said that when he had enough, he would come back.

With the sound of a whip in the sky, the horses clattered up, and the wheels slowly moved forward, farther and farther, until finally the horses and carts disappeared from my sight.

For seven or eight days, I locked myself in my room, and my heart was so heavy that I couldn't be happy. The picture of Chu Lianwei leaving, always appeared in her mind. Bai Xiao came to see me in the autumn day, I ignored him, didn't say a word to him, I was angry, but I didn't know who to be angry with, and I didn't know what I was angry about.

Bai Xiaoqiu and Chu Lianwei didn't do anything wrong, is it really my fault. Thinking about how difficult it has been for her to act in front of everyone with Jun'er and Bai Xiaoqiu in the past few years, and she has to act with all her heart, just to protect me, how difficult it is for her, compared with Chu Lianwei, I am ashamed of myself.

Chu Lianwei and Jun'er left, leaving Xiaohua behind, and Bai Xiaoqiu saw that I was in a bad mood, so she brought Xiaohua to make me happy. Xiaohua is very cute, with snow-white hair, a round head and a round brain, and a small nose the size of a broad bean, and comes to a new environment, but Xiaohua is busy, and has been around my room for a long time, and every room has to be sniffed, and the two eyes are black, and I am not familiar with it at first, only around Bai Xiaoqiu, licking his shoes with his tongue, rubbing around his feet, or sleeping at his feet. Bai Xiaoqiu held Xiaohua in front of me and said to Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, I want to tell you something solemnly today, you have to listen to it and remember it, stare at your eyes and take a look, this is your new master in front of you, and you will accompany her in the future."

Ai'er said unhappily on the side, "Twelve Shao, what, Mr. Su is my master, and now he has become Xiaohua's master, so what is the relationship between me and Xiaohua."

Bai Xiaoqiu raised his hand, "Where are so many words, go and go, what should you do, what to do."

Ai'er pouted, turned around and ran out of the room.

I held Xiaohua in my arms, touched it with my hand, and said with a smile, "What do you say to Xiaohua, how did I become its owner?"

Bai Xiaoqiu grabbed my hand and said, "Why aren't you its owner, I said that you are you, you are, look at how pitiful it is now, no one takes care of it, lonely and miserable, I know that you are a bodhisattva, and you will not let it go, don't you see, Xiaohua is looking at you."

Just when I looked down at the little flower in my arms, Bai Xiaoqiu took the opportunity to kiss me on the face, I was so frightened that my hands shook and shouted, "Twelve Shao, what are you doing." Xiaohua was frightened and screamed, jumped to the ground and fled, I chased Xiaohua while shouting Xiaohua not to run, and chased Xiaohua from the inner room to the yard, Bai Xiaoqiu laughed and watched me and Xiaohua chase in the yard.

In my spare time, Ai'er and I took Xiaohua to play in the open space in the backyard, I remember when I used to take care of Jun'er, I happened to see Xiaohua in Bai Xiaoqiu's house and was very interested in the leaves and fruits that fell from the sky, as long as something fell from the air and was seen by it, it would jump up with four little short legs to catch it, if it was a round thing such as a fruit or something, it would also entertain itself and play with the fruit. So I had an idea, the doll that Rourou sent me was wrapped in a cloth and then tied up with rattan, tied into a small round ball, and then thrown into the air, Xiaohua really fell for me, four small short legs contracted, manganese rushed forward, jumped up in the air, don't look at Xiaohua is small, but can jump out of a person high, wait for Xiaohua to catch the doll, I will run away, Xiaohua with the doll in her mouth can't play and only chase me, Ai'er shouted in the back "Xiaohua, quickly give me what you brought you." I ran in front, Ai'er shouted behind, Xiaohua ignored Ai'er's shouting, and still ran after me, Ai'er ran after Xiaohua, Xiaohua turned around and chased Ai'er when she saw this.

During the day, I play with Xiaohua with my child, and at night I hold Xiaohua in my arms, after a few days, I have established a deep friendship with Xiaohua, which has reached the point of inseparability, where I go Xiaohua and I go wherever I go, circling around me, whenever I sit down, Xiaohua licks and licks my tongue on the instep of my feet, or rubs around me, and meets me lying on the chaise longue in the yard to sleep, Xiaohua lies at my feet to sleep.

With Xiaohua's company, I no longer feel lonely.

That day, I took Xiaohua to find Eleven Shao, and I don't know why, Xiaohua pounced on him as soon as he saw Eleven Shao, Eleven Shao retreated again and again, Xiaohua did not spare and only threw himself on him, I shouted "Xiaohua, don't make trouble", but Xiaohua didn't listen to me, stretched out two front paws as if to scratch Eleven Shao's face, scared me and yelled "Xiaohua, look at the fight".

Eleven Shao was stunned and pursed his lips.

I was very puzzled and asked, "Eleven Shao, what's wrong with my little flower, why did I pounce on you as soon as I saw you, does it like you?"

Eleven Shao patted the dust on his body and said with a smile, "It doesn't like me, it's afraid that you will be snatched away by me, and it will fight with me."

I blinked my eyes, looked at the little flower on the ground, held the little flower in my arms with a warm heart, and looked at Eleven Shao, and said with a smile, "What Eleven Shao said is, Xiaohua is mine, I am Xiaohua, we are no one can do without anyone now, we are a pair of sisters who depend on each other."

Eleven Shao's face flushed slightly, and he also smiled, and he said, "Are you really not afraid, it's a male dog."

I let out a sigh, and Xiaohua was frightened by my screams again, and jumped to the ground, and I looked away with shame.
