Chapter 38: A Man's Duel
"The bell is ringing! The bell is ringing! "The children were happily bouncing around the house. For them, there is nothing more exciting than the Chinese New Year!
The wine came up, Hua Ruxue, who was asleep on the table, opened her eyes, and the rumbling bell in her ears continued: "Have you already hit the bell?" ”
Hua Jiumo looked at her, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily brought a hint of pampering: "Yes, I have already hit the bell, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"Hmm!" Hua Ruxue rubbed her sleepy eyes, nodded, and followed Hua Jiumo out of the door.
In the courtyard, Zhang Chengyong had already gathered around with the children, listening to the bells in the night sky, and kept cheering. A couple of nimble boys had already set up a fire in the yard. The bell has ringed, and it's time to set off firecrackers! Zhang Chengyong hugged the bamboo knots that had been prepared before the coming year, and beckoned Hua Jiumo and Hua Ruxue to come over and set off firecrackers together.
Hua Ruxue smiled slightly, and she remembered the year she spent in the Chen family again. Because Chen Decai did not return to the New Year's Festival, the entire Chen family did not have a good New Year's Festival last year. Chen Tianbao wanted to set off firecrackers, but Mrs. Chen didn't allow it, so she and Chen Tianbao had to sneak out of Chen's house in the middle of the night with the cut bamboo knots, run far away, and put back the firecrackers.
When Chen Tianbao heard the sound of bamboo crackling in the fire, he was scared and excited, and he was so happy. Although she was found by Mrs. Chen on the second day and punished for cleaning the thatched house for half a month, Hua Ruxue felt that the sound of firecrackers that night was particularly pleasant.
Crackle - Crackle -
The bamboo that Zhang Chengyong threw into the fire had already begun to explode. The crackling sound and the sound of the bell are mixed together, and this year finally has a New Year's flavor.
"Like snow, Happy New Year!" Hua Jiumo pulled Hua Ruxue's shoulders, looked at her slightly confused eyes, and didn't call her Sister Ruxue for the first time.
Hua Ruxue smiled, I don't know if she didn't notice this detail or didn't care at all: "Happy New Year!" ”
Zhang Chengyong was originally setting off firecrackers with his younger brothers and sisters, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Hua Jiumo with his hands on Hua Ruxue's shoulders, and his eyes flashed with emotion that he could see at a glance.
Pouting, Zhang Chengyong said angrily that all the remaining bamboo knots in his arms were thrown into the fire. The crackling sound of the bamboo in the fire became louder and louder, causing the children to cheer.
Zhang Chengyong finally couldn't help it, and strode towards them: "Hey, don't you two come to set off firecrackers?" ”
Hua Ruxue turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Zhang Chengyong with his back to the silhouette of the fire in front of her, and said with a smile: "This is coming!" Brother Chengyong, Happy New Year! ”
Zhang Chengyong scratched his head and smiled: "You are also wishy!" Wishful! ”
Hua Ruxue walked to the fire and set off firecrackers with the children, her face under the red light was delicate and moving.
"That ......" Zhang Chengyong opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Hua Ruxue, but his face suddenly turned red, and he still couldn't say the words that came to his mouth after all, and swallowed his stomach back and left.
"Hey, Hua Jiumo!" Zhang Chengyong grabbed Hua Jiumo again, "You...... Do you like the snow girl? ”
Hua Jiumo blinked and nodded generously: "Yes." ”
Zhang Chengyong was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. He is not a flower like snow, and he has no right to ask others not to like her. However, when he saw others getting close to Hua Ruxue, his heart was uncomfortable. But what can he do?
Hua Jiumo looked at him: "Boss, I know you also like Ruxue, but I won't let you." ”
Zhang Chengyong looked at his face and nodded unusually seriously for the first time: "Okay!" This is a battle between men and men, winning or losing we are still brothers! ”
Hua Jiumo smiled: "Okay! I will bless you if you win. I won, and I hope you can bless me. ”
"It's a deal!" Zhang Chengyong responded, stretched out his hand, and shook Hua Jiumo's hand. This is the most serious agreement made by two boys who are just starting to fall in love with each other, and it will definitely be the most all-out duel. Because it's a man-to-man contest.
……
"Your Highness! Are you awake?! Tai Hospital was staring, and hurriedly stepped forward to treat Nan Borong. As expected, everything worked fine.
The hospital was a little unsure, and the rest of the imperial doctors came forward one by one to check the pulse, and the result was naturally the same as the hospital, and there was nothing unusual about the body of King Nan Borong.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has something to ask you about. You were seriously injured earlier, what medicine did you take? "The hospital still wanted to use the idea that he had come up with before to attribute the cause of the disease to the medication of the previous injury.
Nan Borong concealed the matter of the empty golden pill in the past, and only said a few ordinary prescriptions for treating knife wounds and replenishing qi and blood. Yuan Zheng's brows furrowed even more when he heard this. These are commonly used recipes, and it is said that there will be no sequelae!
Nan Borong chuckled: "Lord Yuanzheng doesn't have to bother, maybe the king of Japan hasn't rested well in the past few days, and he is a little tired." You report to Your Majesty truthfully. ”
The court understood what King De meant, and King De was so sick that he and several colleagues couldn't explain why. If this is the case, the emperor will think that they are too incompetent, so they still have good fruit to eat? Now with the approval of His Royal Highness King De, they still have to hide that they did not see the symptoms, and still use the excuse that "the serious injury has not healed, and the blood flow is not smooth, so that they faint".
The hospital was taking a few imperial doctors to prescribe some medicine to Nan Borong to replenish qi and blood. Nan Borong, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.
In his dreams, he vaguely remembered that a girl whose face she couldn't see clearly was there all along. The girl was familiar to him, but her body and face were all blurry, and he couldn't remember anything. I wonder if it's like snow? What they experienced in their dreams was what they experienced together?
Nan Borong had another headache. When he felt that he couldn't remember to give up, his head didn't hurt. After a few repetitions, Nan Borong found that whenever he recalled something related to the girl in his dream, his head would ache sharply. When he doesn't want to, his head doesn't hurt anymore.
However, can you really control not wanting her? Fear...... Not really. Nan Borong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After the New Year's Festival, it was rumored that King Nan Borong had a strange disease, and he often had headaches, and the medicine was useless, so he had to wait for himself to get better. Sometimes it hurts and makes His Royal Highness fall into a coma!
But in fact, only Nan Borong himself knew that when he had a headache, it was when he thought of that girl. Although he couldn't see the size and appearance of the girl in his dream clearly, he had a very strong feeling that that girl was like snow! Although he didn't know why he felt this way.
