Chapter XII

Although it was the end of summer, the daylight hours had become shorter, not as long as in summer, except for a little cooler in the morning and evening, it was still hot and dry at noon, and there was not even a trace of wind in the house.

The sun's rays spread out in all directions, and those who shine on it cannot open their eyes. The pomegranate trees in the yard all drooped their heads, and the leaves of one tree hung low.

I looked at the entrance of the courtyard and saw a dimly lit clearing in the corner. Looking up, it turned out to be a banana leaf extending from outside the courtyard wall, just enough to cover the scorching light and heat.

Visually, I can put down my chaise longue and feel happy. shouted Ai'er to the inner room, but there was no response for a long time, so I had to move it myself.

I used my strength to move out the heavy chaise longue, I was already tired and covered with sweat, and beads of sweat dripped down from the roots of my hair, so I quickly ran into the house to wash my face, change into clean clothes, and lay down on the chair to rest.

After squinting for a while, Ai'er was still nowhere to be seen. Only then did she remember that these days, as soon as she dropped her job, she ran towards Bai Xiaoqiu's house and went to play with Xuan Jun.

I heard that Bai Xiaoqiu got a dog from somewhere, and Chu Lianwei and her husband were busy taking care of the dog inside and outside the house, so they didn't have time to harass me.

In this way, I am calm and comfortable.

This Xuan Jun is the child born to Chu Lianwei and Bai Xiaoqiu, and I met it once on the wedding day.

According to the people of Baifu, this child is not very sociable, afraid of life, and stays in the house all day long, only staring at the ground in a daze.

Bai Xiaoqiu inquired around, and finally found a dog to keep him company.

Bai Xiaoqiu also married the dog, called Huahua.

It's not up to the level.

According to Ai'er's description, this Huahua is a compact, short-backed, and active play dog that can't grow fat or grow no matter how much you eat.

It looks like a fox, has a head like a lion's head, has a scarf around its neck, has an upturned tail, and has a small and cute body. Not only that, but it also has a soft, dense undercoat and a coarse mantle. The tail root grows very tall, and the tail with dense hair curls on the back. He is particularly alert, intelligent, and has a very brisk demeanor.

When Ai'er described it, she was full of color, and I listened to it very well.

I have never seen such a rare species, and I have long been excited and want to take a look at it, but then I think of Bai Xiaoqiu and his faces, and my interest is immediately reduced.

At this time, I was fanning the puff fan, chewing the hawthorn in my mouth, which was so sour, not to mention how energetic.

This hawthorn was given to us by the grandfather when I went to see Cuicui the day before yesterday and left.

At that time, I had to do it, and my grandfather had to stuff it into my arms.

At the end, Bai Xiaoqiu said, "You don't want me, I want it."

However, after going around and around, a bag of hawthorn still came to me completely.

Ai'er stumbled into half of her body and pushed the gate of the courtyard against the wall, and the door bounced back, knocking her to the ground.

I couldn't help but tease her, "What are you doing in such a hurry, and no one is chasing you behind you."

Ai'er got up from the ground panting out of breath, and said earnestly, "Mr. is not good, ah, Azu has been locked up by the general."

Ah, I was startled, and as if a stone had fallen, I slammed and sat up from my chaise longue.

According to Ai'er's description, the incident happened last night, Zhao Yinlan came to the bedroom of the general and Mrs. Mu in disheveled clothes, knelt at the door and howled, begging the general and his wife to make her decision.

Bai Zhanqi was asleep, heard the crying at the door, put on his clothes and opened the door, and yelled, "What's the matter in the middle of the night, it's noisy, what kind of system."

Mrs. Mu also put on her clothes and came out of the bedroom, and when she saw Zhao Yinlan kneeling on the ground in disheveled clothes, she hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up and help her collect her chest, and said, "Aunt Zhao, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yinlan stumbled in front of the general and Mrs. Mu, and said silently, "General, madam, you have to call the shots for me."

"Arise, arise and speak". Mrs. Mu pulled Zhao Yinlan into the house, and Zhao Yinlan cried and talked eloquently.

At night, she had a headache and couldn't sleep, so she moved a chaise longue in the yard and lay on it and shook it to fall asleep, as she used to do when she couldn't sleep. But not long after she lay down, someone pried open the door of her yard, pressed her on the chaise longue and tried to insult her, she resisted desperately, and finally kicked the man under the crotch to keep her innocence.

Bai Zhanqi was so angry that he couldn't stop shaking at the moment, no matter how bad he was, he was his own woman, no matter how bad he was, how could he allow others to bully. The upper teeth were lowered, and he said fiercely, "Tell me, who is it?" ”

"Ah, Azu".

How can this be reasonable, Zhao Yinlan dared to attack Azu, it was unbearable, one got up, ready to rush out of the door, Ai'er grabbed me and said, "Sir, you can't go."

I tried my best, broke free of Ai'er's hand, and just rushed out the door, I was dragged back by the oncoming Bai Xiaoqiu, who kept pulling me into the house.

Ai'er also followed into the house and stood at the door.

Ai'er trembled all over, and said, "Twelve Shao, I'm sorry, I promised you not to tell Mr., but I couldn't help it, it's all Ai'er's bad, please punish Twelve Shao."

I yelled at Bai Xiaoqiu in fierce words, "Twelve Shao, I'm going to save my lover now, you'd better not stop me."

Ai'er at the door sighed, hurriedly covered her mouth, stared at me with a pair of eyes, and then looked at Bai Xiaoqiu, and was so frightened that she immediately turned around and hurriedly escaped from the door.

Bai Xiaoqiu slammed the door shut with a backhand, and pushed me down on the door, panting heavily.

I twisted my head to the side and was forced to break it by him, stared at me with dead eyes, and said viciously, "For him, do you care about everything?" ”

I chuckled "yes, he's someone I care about, and I can even give my life for him."

He tightened his grip, his nails digging into my skin, and there was a sudden pain.

His eyes were red, as if he was about to burst out of blood, "Believe it or not, I'll let your sweetheart die in prison tonight."

I used all my strength to break his hand and screamed, "Bai Xiaoqiu, you dare, if you dare to touch Azu's hair, I won't spare you."

"Well, I'm going to see what you do to me." After speaking, he turned his head and closed my mouth tightly with a pair of lips, and in a hurry, I bit back, and he hurt a lot, and the blood flowed from his lips, and he sealed my lips again.

With a face full of grievances and tears, I bit his lip and tongue fiercely, and soon felt a strong smell of blood.

Watching the blood flow down the corners of his mouth, my heart hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much that I am about to die.

Then he laughed and suddenly cried again, and he cried and laughed in front of me without reservation.

Like a child, he cries without candy, and laughs immediately when he gives candy.

The child is therefore pure, two points and one line, straight to the point.

But Bai Xiaoqiu's crazy appearance is like that.

His body trembled, and his heart trembled.

Looking at Bai Xiaoqiu who was crooked on the ground, he remembered what he had said to me, he said, "Fanfan, if you are okay in this life, I will be fine, if one day I fail you, heaven and earth will be punished, you will be punished, and I will punish myself."

At that time, he beat his chest and feet, and he was upright, as if he would never be able to fail me in this life.

He even said, "If we have children in the future, we must be as well-behaved and lovely as our mothers, and occasionally there are some willfulness and a daughter's heart."

I said, "In the future, if we have children, we must have bright eyes, eyebrows that are not angry, and handsome faces, like our fathers."

He smiled and said, "You have the final say."

Sitting on the flowery Lion Rock, he chatted with me.

Talking about our meeting and love, staying together until old age, talking about his great ambition for life, talking about the legend of Kao and the Queen of Flowers. At the end of the conversation, he even said to me very emotionally, "Fanfan, or I will be the king of flowers, and after you come to make flowers, how about we be a pair of fairy couples?" ”

I was touched by his words, and I listened quietly, and did not answer, leaving him alone to entertain himself.

At that time, I still thought that when we really have a child in the future, we must bring him here, a family of three snuggled together, looking at the mountains full of pines and cypresses, and the plum blossoms welcoming the dark fragrance and sparse shadows, what a happy thing it should be.

Nowadays, nothing is the same. Why did we become like this, why did we become disgusted with each other, wishing that each other would disappear in front of our eyes.

Wasn't we once very beautiful, seeing each other as the only one in this life, thinking of him, loving him, sitting under the tree and waiting for him every day, although I don't know when he will come back, but we still look and look forward to the direction of his return every day.

And he, in order to take a look at me, did not hesitate to violate military regulations, and sneaked back from the barracks in the middle of the night.

Could it be that all this is so fragile that it can't withstand the precipitation and test of time?

Is it a beautiful lie that so many words have been uttered and are not counted?

And I trusted him so much.

I have been waiting for the wedding for so many years, but it was preempted by Chu Lianwei.

Now he gave Chu Lianwei an unprecedented and unique wedding, but he spoke wildly at me, insisting that I had a personal affair with Azu.

Since you have misunderstood me with an iron heart, let's carry the misunderstanding to the end.

One turned around and rushed out the door.

Azu was imprisoned in the dungeon of the White Mansion, and the dungeon of the White Mansion was usually a deserter who made a serious mistake in military regulations and was defeated, or was captured. A person like Azu is like this, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.

Bai Yanleng and I followed a small guard from a low house and then reached the basement floor, the more you walked inside, the more cramped the space became, very stuffy, although occasionally the breeze blew, you could also feel the strong oppression. It was dark inside, and I could hear my own breathing, and there was a sense of isolation.

The little guard opened the door for us, and Bai Yanleng gave him a few pieces of silver, and the little guard withdrew, telling us to speak quickly.

I nodded at him.
