The man's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at us, then looked down in surprise to see my bulging belly, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, his long sword, which was like a thunderbolt, completely slackened his strength at this moment.

Huang Tianba's eyes sank, and his gaze also looked at me, and at this moment, a sudden pain came from my stomach, and I immediately bent down.

"Ahh

This low cry shocked the two men, and as soon as the man's wrist was raised, the long sword was immediately raised upward-that was the stopping gesture of the students of Xishan Academy when they practiced the sword, Huang Tianba immediately understood, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and came back to help me: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I ...... Tummy ......"

I gritted my teeth and said these words, and cold sweat was already trickling down my forehead.

Huang Tianba must have experienced a lot of big scenes in his life, and probably has never experienced such a thing, so he was a little panicked, and hurriedly held my shoulder and said, "What's wrong?" Is it a child—I'll take you to the doctor! ”

After saying that, he half-supported and half-hugged me, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he looked up and saw the student, the two of them looked at each other, as if they were stunned for a moment.

The student looked at us with a strange expression on his face.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, but it was also a moment, he didn't say a word, slowly put the sword back, and let one side of it go to the side.

Huang Tian said domineeringly: "Thank you." ”

The man looked at me again and said, "Don't thank me. Your account will always be settled. ”

Huang Tianba's eyes were still as heavy as the night, and without saying a word, he helped me walk in front of that person.

I kept bending over and looking at my bulging belly, but even so, I could still feel the man's eyes, sharp as a knife on my face, a little painful.

Huang Tianba carefully protected me all the way, along the river until I walked to the entrance of the village, the faint lights of thousands of homes in front of me, the orange-red light on people's pale faces, it seems that it can also dye a little temperature, no matter how cold and ruthless people are, they will be softened and softened because of home.

I slowly straightened up as I bent over and exhaled softly.

Huang Tianba turned his head to look at me, his eyebrows frowning slightly: "Qingying, you-"

"It's much better," I smiled reluctantly, wiped the cold sweat on my forehead with my cuffs, looked at his puzzled eyes, and said with a smile: "In this month, fetal movements are very normal, but just now, it really scared me." ”

Huang Tianba looked at me, his eyes flickering: "Qingying, you ...... Seems to know that person? ”

My heart skipped a beat, but the look on my face remained the same, and I nodded calmly: "I've seen him." ”

"Where?"

"In the green building in the town, this person has been preaching, saying some rebellious words against the imperial court. Liu San'er will also listen. ”

Huang Tianba frowned: "Are there many people listening?" ”

I nodded: "Many of the students who failed to refer to it because of the fraud in this imperial examination came. ”

Huang Tianba's brows furrowed even tighter, pondered for a while, and said to me, "You'd better take care of Liu San'er, don't let him go to that place again these days." ”

I was a little surprised, he just said that a man's road is to be walked by himself, why do you want me to take care of Liu San'er now? Just as I was about to ask, he seemed to have read what I was thinking, and said, "This person's background is not simple, and his appearance is not just him. In the south, I'm afraid that there will be another chaos. ”

I was slightly stunned and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Now the news from the north has not yet come down, but I believe that he will be able to carry it this time. Once Shengjing retreats in winter, the emperor will inevitably take advantage of this winter to govern the three southern provinces and completely let this side stabilize dìng, otherwise in the spring of the next year, once Shengjing sends troops again, if the south is not stable, he really has no way out. ”

"What do you mean-Pei Yuanhao, will clean up these students?"

Huang Tianba nodded silently.

I don't know if my face is pale under the light, but at this moment, my heart is still a little trembling, and after a while, I nodded lightly and said, "I understand." Master Huang, you have to be careful yourself, they-"

Huang Tianba waved his hand, stopping me from continuing, and said, "Go back quickly." ”

I didn't say anything more, nodded and turned around and walked back, but as soon as I took two steps, I heard Huang Tianba's voice sound behind me—"Qingying." ”

I looked back at him.

The night was dark, but his amorous eyes were still sparkling in the night, although they were not tired, but they were so refined that people could not ignore them, he looked at me, and said thoughtfully: "You...... Be careful, too. ”

I smiled faintly and turned to continue walking home.

After going home that night, although it seemed that nothing had happened on the surface, my pale face and frequent cold sweat also made Liu San'er startled, and invited a doctor to come, only saying that my month was approaching, and I should recuperate more during this time, and no one at home could watch me.

Usually, although there are many people at home, there is no one who resists, so Liu San'er has always stayed at home to accompany me and has not left a single step.

In this way, half a month passed peacefully.

Every day after getting up, Liu San'er will help me walk around the yard a few times, and occasionally there will be neighbors to send some egg supplements, lunch and dinner he volunteered to take charge of the spoon in order not to let me get tired, but when I think of the deeds of almost burning the house, I don't dare to relax, so I simply moved a chair and sat at the kitchen door to direct him.

But this person can't get oil smoke, and he can splash oil and burn himself when he stir-fries, and he can't wait for me to hit him with a spatula.

On this day, when the smoke was everywhere, Liu San'er was busy in the kitchen, but found that there was no rice in the rice bowl, and there was no way to open the pot, so he immediately took some money out to buy rice, and told me not to go into the kitchen, and to cook again when he came back.

I was originally sitting in the house, and when I heard him close the courtyard door, Aunt Liu asked in the back room, and I agreed to her, so I slowly walked to the kitchen door, looked at the half-cut radish, sighed, and walked in to pick up the kitchen knife and cut it.

After two cuts, the courtyard door was opened.

I was still chopping the turnips, and after a while, I felt a figure appear at the kitchen door, blocking out the light outside.

I frowned slightly, but didn't speak, and didn't turn my head until I had finished the last cut.

There was a fog in front of me.

For a while, I seemed to be a little dazed, as if I saw the towering West Mountain, green and straight, standing on the vast land of Xishu, and the warm and humid weather, brought by the milky white clouds, like a piece of clothing, shrouded in the West Mountain, after years of dispersion, in a trance seems to feel that the mountain is a person, the fog is a piece of clothing, such as a fairy, people can't distinguish between reality and dreams.

At this moment, I seemed to have returned to that time, standing at the bottom of the mountain, looking up at the scenery of the misty mountain.

"Miss."

A deep voice rang in my ears and pulled my senses back.

My eyes flickered, and then I saw clearly that the person in front of me was the person who preached and solved doubts in the Xiangyuan Temple, and it was also the person who sniped Huang Tianba with a sword that night.

I frowned slightly.

He dusted off his sleeves, arched his hands, and bowed to me, making an ancient salute.

These ancient rites, since the imperial family from the north into the customs to rule the Central Plains, have been deposed one by one, and now there are very few people who are still good, only those who still retain the old system and refuse to submit to the imperial court will perform such rituals.

I still stood still, looking at him faintly.

"I didn't expect to meet Miss here. That night frightened the young lady, please forgive me. ”

"I don't know you."

"When Miss traveled to Xishan, there were tens of thousands of students, and it was not unusual for Miss to know her."

"I've never been to West Hill either."

"Miss doesn't have to hide it. Although she has been separated for several years, the young lady's appearance has not changed, her bearing has not changed, and she can still recognize the young lady below. ”

"I'm not what you say, I'm just a village woman."

The man still said respectfully: "If it was just an ordinary village woman, she would not be able to know someone like Huang Tianba. Miss doesn't have to hide it, these days, Miss left her husband at home, presumably on purpose, and it was also in the way of him, so he couldn't show up to meet Miss. ”

At the mention of Liu San'er, my brows furrowed suddenly.

"Miss's marriage match, I won't say much about it, but-" The man looked at my face, then at my stomach, and said, "The news has been sent back from here, and Childe will be very happy to know that Miss is still in the world, and it will soon—"

Before he could finish his sentence, it was suddenly pitch black in front of my eyes.

That kind of blackness is a kind of black that penetrates deep into the soul, like a black hand of fate, choking everyone's throat to death, no matter how you struggle, how painful, you can't get rid of his shackles until death!

And at this moment, there was a sharp pain in the hand.

Because of this pain, I suddenly came to my senses, and when I looked down, I saw that the kitchen knife accidentally cut my fingers, and the red blood immediately flowed out, soaked in the snow-white radish shreds on the board, red and white, and looked so dazzling.

That person also saw the blood on my hand, and was a little flustered for a while, as if he wanted to come over, but looking at my face, he didn't dare to take a rash step forward, he looked around, frowned, and said, "As a young lady, you really shouldn't be wronged in such a place." Although Liu San'er is not bad, in the end-"

I suddenly turned my head and glared at him.

The man's unspoken words were glared at by my eyes, and he swallowed hard, as if he involuntarily took a step back, I slowly stepped forward, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "I'm not a young lady, and I don't know what you're talking about, there's one point, you can hear me clearly." ”

“……”

"Liu San'er is my husband, and I don't allow anyone to beat his idea, not a single cent, not a single cent, not a single cent."

“……”

"If anyone dares, just try!"
