Yes, the person on the horse who Shen Yuexi pulled the reins on was clumsy.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that Shen Yuexi refused to let go, she asked again.

"Where are you going?" Shen Yuexi also asked rhetorically.

This is so funny, he laughed clumsily, and then looked at Shen Yuexi carefully, looking smart, not like a fool.

"I'll ask you one last time, what are you going to do?" Clumsily asked again.

Shen Yuexi was also helpless, she stared at her eyes and asked seriously, "Where are you going?" ”

Suddenly sighed, and wanted to just leave, but this place was too remote, and seeing that it was about to get dark, he didn't feel at ease to let such a little girl stay here alone.

"Let's go to the border city." Suddenly, he replied.

Shen Yuexi was overjoyed when she heard the words Border City, "I'm also going to Border City, can you take me with you?" ”

The clumsy couldn't help but laugh more and more, this little girl was too bold, she knew who they were, and dared to ask to go together.

"You're not afraid of me?" Suddenly bent over, and moved his unkind face closer to Shen Yuexi, a little trying to scare her.

But Shen Yuexi looked clumsy and shook her head, "Don't be afraid." ”

Shen Yuexi really didn't feel clumsy and terrifying, although he looked towering and invincible, but the aura emanating from his body did not make her intimidating, compared to the coming night, he was simply a living bodhisattva.

Suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Yuexi, feeling more and more interesting.

After looking at it for a while, he stretched out his hand to Shen Yuexi, "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”

Shen Yuexi also stretched out her hand, and suddenly bent over and put her on the horse, "Have you ever ridden a horse before?" ”

Shen Yuexi shook her head.

"Then you tighten the reins." Suddenly, he said in a deep voice.

Shen Yuexi thought about it, but hugged her clumsy arm, "I think you are more reliable than the reins." ”

Hearing this, he laughed aloud, interesting, this little girl is really interesting, if she were two years older, he would consider marrying her as a wife.

"Are you married?" Thinking like this, he asked.

Shen Yuexi shook her head.

"And what do you think of me?" Suddenly, he asked again.

Shen Yuexi turned her head and looked at her seriously, "I see that you are not young anymore, and you are not married?" ”

This little girl actually disliked his age, and suddenly smiled more happily, he turned his horse's head and went to the direction of the border city again, he was going to Black Cliff Town, passing by the border city, but he didn't expect to meet such an interesting little girl on the road.

"What's your name?" On the way, he asked clumsily.

"Tell me your name first." Shen Yuexi refused to say.

"My name is Clumsy."

Suddenly, Shen Yuexi thought for a while, "Why is this name so familiar?" I think I've heard it somewhere. ”

"Don't think about it, tell me your name first."

"My surname is Shen Yuexi." Shen Yuexi told her calmly.

"Shen Yuexi," Hu clumsily repeated, "Well, good name." ”

"Where's the good?"

"I don't know?"

"You're not Han, are you? Do you know this poem? ”

"I read some idle books in my free time, and I happened to read them."

"Are you from Beihu?"

"Yes."

"Do you recognize kanji?"

"I recognize the kanji I learned since I was a child."

"That must be the nobles of Beihu, ordinary people won't learn this."

Hearing this, he smiled, did not answer, and asked Shen Yuexi instead: "Do you know that I am from Beihu, but I am not afraid?" ”

Suddenly, he knew that there was once a rumor among the Han people that the Beihu people were savage and drank blood.

"You're not three-headed and six-armed, what's so scary." Shen Yuexi disagreed.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"There's no good in killing me."

"Aren't you afraid that I will take you back to Beihu to be your daughter-in-law?"

Shen Yuexi didn't expect this, she turned her head to look at Hu Clumsy, although her face was a little sharp, and she didn't look kind, but it was quite fun to talk to him, so she said: "Then you go to my house to propose marriage first, if my father agrees with you, I have no opinion." ”

In the border cities, there were also Han people who married the Beihu people.

It's just that Shen Yuexi didn't know at that time that the nobles of Beihu were not allowed to intermarry with Han people.

"Who would have thought that I would pick up a daughter-in-law on the side of the road." After listening to Shen Yuexi's words, he turned his head and said to his few Jingwei.

Then there was another burst of laughter.

Although the Jingwei were silent, they knew in their hearts that today's general was a little unusual, first of all, he had no suspicion and no suspicion of a little girl of unknown origin, and even if he was unsuspecting, he rode with her, and secondly, they talked for too long along the way, and the general laughed at every turn, and the general was not like this, the general not only had few words, but was also very serious.

The little girl was like a sudden big rock, thrown into the calm lake of the general, and with a bang, it stirred up countless splashes.

Hu Zhuo chatted with Shen Yuexi all the way, until she entered the border city, Hu Zhuo was not worried about letting her go home alone, but sent Shen Yuexi home in person on horseback.

The Shen family was in a hurry for Shen Yuexi who had not yet returned, and suddenly saw Shen Yuexi being sent back, naturally overjoyed.

Shen Qingshan personally stepped forward to thank him, the moment he saw the clumsiness, his heart was stunned for the moment, a person's momentum, sometimes no words, gestures can be seen.

"In Xia Shen Qingshan, thank you for the kindness of this righteous man to help the little girl." Shen Qingshan made a fool of himself.

Shen Qingshan? Suddenly, he was stunned when he heard this name, "Are you Shen Qingshan, the former head of the household department in Southern Xia?" ”

Shen Qingshan looked clumsy, was silent for a moment, and nodded.

Hu Clumsy was a little overjoyed, he had always heard people mention Shen Qingshan's excellent household management ability before, and he had long thought about when he would have the opportunity to see it, but he didn't expect that it would be so effortless today.

So he also reported to his home.

Hearing that the other party was the general of Beihu, Shen Qingshan was also a little surprised, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Shen Yuexi saw that they were talking lively, so she said, "Daddy, these righteous people haven't eaten yet, why don't you invite them to have dinner at home?" ”

It's good. Shen Qingshan invited Ku Zhuo and the others into the house.

Not long after, Shen Yi also came back, and he was relieved to learn that Shen Yuexi was back. That's why I got acquainted with Hu.

Since then, the Shen family has had a friendship with Hu Zhuo.

**

Shen Yuexi sat on the bed, thinking of these past events, and couldn't help but be distracted, until she suddenly entered the bedroom, Shen Yuexi still didn't notice it, and was still hugging the quilt and immersed in memories.

"What do you think?" He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but bend over and ask curiously.

Shen Yuexi came back to her senses, looking at the clumsy face in front of her at this moment, there was a kind of trance that had traveled to reality.

"Remembering the first time I saw you." Shen Yuexi looked clumsy, this man has not changed, but his face has a little more vicissitudes.

First meeting. Suddenly smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked at Shen Yuexi, "At that time, you were much bolder than now. ”

Yes, Shen Yuexi sighed, at that time, she had her family to protect her, to be her warm and strong backing, she was spoiled by them and grew up, even if she was assigned to the frontier, her life was still happy and worry-free, but now she was alone, she was afraid in her heart, she felt like duckweed, she didn't know where the future would go, and she didn't know who she was worthy of being the person she could rely on for a lifetime.

Is Zhao exactly? Clumsy is it?

Perhaps, but none of them could make her as sure as their own family.

"I often think that it was God's greatest gift to me that you appeared on the side of the road that time, and it was great that I didn't miss you." Suddenly whispered softly to the words of his heart.

In the past, Shen Yuexi might have the same idea as Clumsy, but now it is not, she often thinks, if she and her brother had not separated that time, and she had not shouted on the road to stop Clumsy, then the Shen family would not have died?

Such thoughts often made Shen Yuexi feel guilty, as if she and Ku Zhuo teamed up to kill the people of the Shen family.

"You said that if we hadn't met, wouldn't the people of the Shen family have died?" Shen Yuexi asked.

If you don't know Hu, Shen Qingshan won't come to Youzhou City, then everything will be different.

Hu Clumsy was most afraid that Shen Yuexi would have this kind of thought, which would make her unable to cross her heart, which would indicate that she could no longer accept him.

"But when we met, there is a reason for the encounter, and God sent me to take care of you."

Zhao Zheng also said this to Shen Yuexi.

The man in front of him, like Zhao Zheng, was unreservedly kind to her.

Shen Yuexi clasped her hands on her knees, buried her head in her knees, and was silent.

"It's very lively on the street today, there are all kinds of juggling to see, do you want to go?" Clumsy tried to divert Shen Yuexi's attention.

Shen Yuexi shook her head, she was not in the mood to have fun at all.

"So what do you want to do? I'll be with you. Looking at Shen Yuexi's listless appearance, she was a little helpless, and she didn't know how to make her happy.

Before and after the tragedy of the Shen family, Shen Yuexi was like two people. Shen Yuexi in the past, how happy and bright, like sunshine.

But now she is cold.

Shen Yuexi shook her head, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to sit quietly like this in a daze.

"Let's eat first." Suddenly, he said.

Shen Yuexi shook her head, the hangover had not yet passed, and she had no appetite.

Then Shen Yuexi lay on the bed again, curled into a ball, and looked at a place with a sloppy gaze.

"There is a troupe in the city, do you want to call a play to the General's Mansion?" Suddenly, he asked again.

He thought, he had to find something to make Shen Yuexi happy.

Shen Yue shook his head indifferently.

There was no way out, so I had to sit sullenly on the side, quietly watching Shen Yuexi, and accompanying her in this way.

"Aren't you going to the barracks today?" After a while, Shen Yuexi asked. The voice is faint and I can't hear any emotion.

"Oh, the first day of the new year, take a day off."

"Then you go and rest, you don't have to accompany me." Shen Yuexi said again.

"Having you with you is my best rest, and it doesn't get much better than this." Hu clumsily looked at Shen Yuexi and smiled.
