Chapter 21: Flesh and Blood
On the second day of Lou Changyun's return, the two families decided to pack up their things and go to the border to answer the edict of the imperial court.
Wang Shanfu has been pregnant for six months, because the imperial court's edict is only one month, so they originally decided to let Wang Shanfu return to her parents' house to give birth, and then come back after the confinement, but this time the imperial court's edict is clear, if the family members of the callee are old, young, sick, disabled and pregnant, they can apply for a carriage, and the imperial court will send it over for free, and more importantly, the carriage arranged by the imperial court is all pulled by demon beasts, which is not only fast, but also reassuring and stable.
Although I don't know why the imperial court will spend such a big price, such preferential treatment has made many Xuanshi more heartfelt to the imperial court, and also allowed Wang Shanfu to go to the border with An Yizhi.
After learning that Lou Changyun and they were going to the border, An Yue cried and made a fuss about going, but unfortunately only her father was a Xuanshi in her family, and her father didn't dare to think about it at all under An Qingwan's arrangement. Without the leadership of her relatives and scholars, An Yue, as a mortal, could not go forward.
Because I don't know how long I have to go, I always think that I have to take this and that, especially Wang Shanfu, looking at the house where she and An Yizhi have lived for six years, her eyes are particularly reluctant.
However, in the end, because they had to apply for the carriage of the imperial court, they could not place many things, so the two families had to bring a few clothes and some things that were difficult to give up, and the imperial court would arrange other things.
……
The bluewinged beast scurried down the wide road, and even though there were occasional stones on the ground, the vehicle behind it did not bump at all.
The young man who was in the same carriage with Shi Sui, Wang Shanfu, and Uncle Yuan curiously pulled the curtain and probed out, and the cold wind in winter slapped him in the face, and the young man who shivered instantly shook his hand in fright, and the curtain fell to block the wind chill outside, and he went to the fire to roast his hands, and then felt alive.
At the moment when Su Wenyu lifted the curtain, the little face in Shi Sui's arms jumped on the edge of the window, but before he jumped up, he was blown over by the cold wind and fell down, and quickly jumped into Shi Sui's arms again, and made a sound from his throat comfortably.
The boy's name is Su Wenyu, and he is from the town next door...... It's actually not right to call a "teenager", although Su Wenyu is only sixteen years old, she is already married, and this time she is going to the border with her husband.
"The Bluewing Beast is the most suitable demon beast for mounts in the first order, and our Majesty is really kind-hearted!" Su Wenyu said with a look of awe.
"Yes," Wang Shanfu gently stroked her towering abdomen, "If it weren't for His Majesty's instructions, I would have been separated from my family for a few months before we could see each other." ”
Su Wenyu is a person who talks a lot, and the four people in the car haven't been together for half a day, and they have already chattered to shake off all their family backgrounds, and by the way, they have already settled down and the Lou family's family is almost touched. Now he angrily asked Wang Shanfu why he didn't wait for childbirth at home, after all, the border monsters rioted, although they could live within the tall city walls, they always felt that it was not as safe as at home.
The people outside the carriage are not so comfortable, there is no warm stove, and even the journey has to rely on their own legs, and the guards outside the cloth-clothed Xuanshi are officers and soldiers riding demon beasts, of course, some rich Xuanshi can naturally sit on their own mounts.
Although Lou Changyun caught a Huoyun fox and came back, he had only raised it for a few months, and he was still far from adulthood, and he was still warm in his arms.
is not as grateful as the family members in the carriage for this benefit of the imperial court, although the Xuanshi outside the carriage is also grateful, but there are still a lot of speculations in their hearts, guessing whether the demon beasts on the border are more ferocious than they know, but now that they have been on the ship of the imperial court, they can only move forward and fight a bloody way.
And in Lou Changyun's mind, since he knew this instruction, something vaguely appeared in his mind.
In the splendid palace, there were people sitting on the high hall, and the ten thousand people below them surrendered, and only one person could also sit on a chair in the hall, but in order to show respect for the people on the throne, he bowed his head slightly.
After the salute was over, people in the hall kept coming forward to report the matter, and I don't know how long it took before retreating. Although it was a long time, Lou Changyun couldn't hear or see it really, he only felt extremely familiar, as if it had happened yesterday.
But Lou Changyun also remembered it clearly, he strayed into the natural formation of the mountains and forests, trapped in it and inhaled the pollen of the sleeping blue clothes, and fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, the formation had disappeared due to the change in the environment, so he caught the seven fire snakes and took the snake gall back.
Lou Changyun thought about it for a long time and didn't understand it, so he simply put the matter aside, maybe he was listening to the strange stories in those travelogues that he was talking to him about, so he had an illusion.
The farther you go to the border, the closer you get to the Qingyang Mountains, the altitude also increases, and the temperature is much colder than that of Nanxi Town.
The sun always sets early in winter, and the people who are waiting in the warm carriage have to come out, and they have to come out to eat, right?
Since Su Wenyu and Shi Sui got along very well, the three families simply ate together.
An Yizhi and Su Wenyu's husband Yang Zhuo caught the beast and came back, while Lou Changyun found some green vegetables and came back, in this icy and snowy environment, even the green vegetables without mysterious power are more difficult to obtain than the fierce demon beasts.
Su Wenyu, who only ate vegetables when he was old for the first time, was extremely surprised, "No wonder you are so thin." ”
Shi Sui, who was drinking the warm vegetable soup, almost choked, and looked at Su Wenyu gnawing on the cheeks of the meat legs, and continued to bow his head at the vegetable soup made by Lou Changyun without speaking.
Dian Yan, who was nesting in the arms of Lou Changyun, who was looking at the meat and vegetable soup on the fire, jumped out of his arms, jumped on top of Su Wenyu's head, and jumped on top of Shi Sui's head before everyone could react.
The soup of the old man was sprinkled.
"Look!" Shi Sui will jump back into Lou Changyun's arms and pull out his face, his eyes are on fire, and his clothes have been wet with vegetable soup.
Su Wenyu just jumped by Dianyan, and then cried and lost his face, Dianyan loves to be clean, and every time he goes to the ground, he will always take care of himself before jumping on others.
Su Wenyu didn't dislike Yan Yan, but understood the meaning of Dianyan, and looked at Dianyan with an unconvinced face, but his tone was slightly insufficient, "Dianyan, you can't say I'm short, I can still grow up!" ”
Sixteen-year-old Su Wenyu was only at the earlobe of eighteen.
Yang Zhuo on the side didn't refute when he heard it, but a smile flashed in his eyes, Su Wenyu didn't grow a year ago, and he found a lot of ways to do this, but his height just didn't grow.
Shi Sui, who was nodding his face and patting his head, lightened his strength a little.
Dinner was spent in Su Wenyu's chatter, although the An family pursued food and did not say anything, but Su Wenyu was the person who got along on the first day after all. But it's also surprising that everyone has spent a day in the carriage, and they feel cold when they lift the curtains, and they are drowsy most of the time, and I don't know where Wen Yu can find so many interesting things to say.
After dinner, it was time to rest, after all, the carriage was not big, and it could not accommodate four people to sleep peacefully, but fortunately, the tent issued by the imperial court had a formation tattooed, not to mention anything else, as soon as I entered, I felt that it was two worlds with the outside world.
Shi Sui slept in the same tent with Lou Changyun, after all, it was not an ordinary thing, and natural resources were scarce.
It's early spring in the tent, and if you roll into Lou Changyun's arms, it's late spring. It's not like early spring with the chill of winter, but it's just the right amount of warmth.
Since Lou Changyun came back, if it weren't for the special period now, he couldn't stand the cold outside, and he couldn't wait to follow Lou Changyun all day long.
Because there are enough rooms in the town, Shi Sui and Lou Changyun sleep in one room each, but ......
Lou Changyun still remembers that night.
He coaxed Shi Sui to bed, closed the box containing the obsidian, and the room fell into darkness, and only when Shi Sui's breathing was stable did he go back to his room to sleep.
But it didn't take long for a vague figure to appear at the head of his bed.
Shi Sui stood at the head of his bed, holding his futon and was about to make a bunk in his room, but fortunately, he hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he quickly hugged Shi Sui to the bed, and he planned to sleep on the ground.
Shi Sui tugged at his sleeve and disagreed, but he couldn't let Shi Sui sleep on the ground, whether it was cold or not, hard or not, he couldn't agree with Shi Sui to do this to himself in his eyes.
In the end, the two of them who were at a stalemate lay down in a quilt, because the age asked him to come up, and the two slept together.
As soon as he got into bed, Shi Sui hugged Lou Changyun's arm, buried his face in the soft and comfortable quilt and muttered, "I don't want to lose my ...... again."
He still remembers the morning of the second day.
The two of them are so entangled with their hands and feet, and what's even worse is that this time Lou Chang Yun Xu didn't have enough rest on the mountain, and he didn't wake up at a rare time, so in the morning the man would always look up and rub between the legs of the year.
Although Shi Sui was not interested in these things, there were always explicit books in those travelogues. Shi Sui blushed and was about to leave, but he didn't know where Lou Changyun in his sleep came from with such great strength, and he tightened the circle in his arms, and when he was about to leave, he was ashamed to rub his face, causing Shi Sui to raise his head and say hello.
But even so, later Shi Sui was still reluctant to let Lou Changyun out of his sight, and just moved Lou Changyun's bed to his room.
It's just that this time I'm in a hurry, and I can only sleep with Lou Changyun in this small tent, the kind of quilt.
"You roll over." Shi Sui grabbed Lou Changyun's sleeve and said.
Lou Changyun was puzzled, but he still turned over according to Shi Sui's words, and turned his back to Shi Sui.
I only heard the sound of rustling, and Shi Sui also turned over and faced Lou Changyun back to back.
"Age?"
"Sleep."
Shi Sui thought, so that there will be no greetings.
Xu is heart pretended to be something, he woke up much earlier than usual, and before he opened his eyes, he knew that he and Lou Changyun were entangled hand and foot, and the last thing he wanted to happen still happened.
Shi Sui opened his eyes with a red face, just facing Lou Changyun, who had just opened his eyes.
