Chapter 10: The Faith of Love
%&*";|
July 208 BC
In summer, the weather is hot, mosquitoes are increasing, especially at night, mosquitoes are pervasive, and they are particularly rampant.
"Smack." Wu Yi slapped a mosquito lying on his neck to death, and said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of swords, mountains and fires, but I'm afraid of this despicable little thing, which always lies on you silently.
"You're going to be mad with a little worm." I helped him light the lamp in the tent and laughed at him, "If it's so annoying, I'll go back and get you a bottle of ointment made of night-cripping incense, the plaster is cool and refreshing, and rub it on your arms and neck, and the mosquitoes won't bother you."
"No need." He took my hand and lowered his eyes and said, "I don't want that kind of thing, and you don't want to go back."
I felt a slight pain in my heart, watching him hold my hand, and sighed softly: "Wu Yi, I have to go, Changxi is still waiting."
"Why......" he smiled self-deprecatingly. At the end of the day, I still can't beat him."
"Wuyi ......"
"Arou......" The hand he held me slowly tightened, and there was a forbearance in his tone: "You have loved me, have you ever wanted to be with me, you tell me, today...... I allow you to tell lies......"
"I ......," I bit my lower lip, and I felt a myriad of words accumulate in my heart, but I couldn't say it.
"That's it." He took me into his arms, and pressed my face tightly against his chest, as if to melt me into his chest and flesh.
When I left the Wuyi tent, it was almost midnight, and Changxi was waiting for me not far away.
He was dressed in white, standing with his hands in the night breeze, and as he was facing away from me, I could not see his expression, but the loneliness that emanated from his long body was stronger than ever.
"Changxi." I gently shook his hand and smiled, "I'm back."
He stiffened for a moment, and then looked down at me, and I could see his pale face and his gray, hollow eyes in the moonlight.
"You know what I was thinking." Changxi raised his hand and stroked my cheek, lowered his eyes, and said, "I really want to take you to death with me, walk the Huangquan Road together, cross the Santu River, drink the water of the Lechuan River, and let your life and the next life be mine."
"What are you afraid of? tell me...... What are you afraid of?" I reached out and touched his eyelids, felt his eyelashes brush over his fingertips, tears falling one drop after another.
Why is this happening.Why no matter how many times I tell you I love you.You always have a sense of uncertainty in your eyes.Why no matter how many times I come back to you.You always worry that I'm going to leave in the end.Why no matter how long I'm with you.Your body always looks lonely.
What's the matter. Tell me......
Riding on the long white horse, he wrapped around me from behind, held me tightly in his arms, felt his temperature and heartbeat in his back, but I felt that he was so far away from me at this moment.
"Cher." He rested his chin on my shoulder, pressed his lips to my ear, and whispered, "In my heart, there is a woman who is more important than anyone else, she is beautiful, like a white snow flying from the sky, I want to hold her in my hand more than anyone else, but I am afraid to melt her.
......I felt his warmth, and the night breeze blew his black and silky hair, and on my face, with the fragrance of flowers.
"In my heart, there is a man who is more important than anyone else, he is beautiful, like a fresh and refined white lotus, I want to pluck him in my heart more than anyone else, but I am afraid of polluting him, I want to marry him."
The night breeze is gentle, the moonlight is quiet, the long sirler stops his horse, and he kisses me quietly under the bright starry sky tonight.
Wu Yi and Xiang Yu became temporary allies.There was no need to fight, which made the soldiers on both sides breathe a sigh of relief.Xiang Yu intended to let Wu Yi and us act in unison.Wu Yi said that his team was not just this one.There were three other troops scattered all over the country.So it was inconvenient to act in unison.Seeing him say this.Xiang Yu no longer insisted on it.Instead, he set up a banquet in the camp as a farewell gift.
The banquet was set up in Xiang Yu's tent, and I politely declined Yu Ji's offer to join me, but instead brought a pot of wine, and went alone to a forest near the camp, and sat down beside a few hibiscus.
"There is a woman to send off, Yan Ru Shunhua."
Two years ago, the hibiscus by the Wei River was growing just right, and a man pinned a hibiscus flower to my complicated hair, and said softly, "You will grow into a good woman, just like your mother."
The warm breeze was blowing that day, the sun was just right, I gently stroked the hibiscus flower, I never expected it to be replaced by a pale paper flower, and the warm and smiling send-off would be the secret of eternal separation.
That's right, I left Xianyang for the sake of this gentle man who gave me hibiscus, and after two years, I didn't see him.
"Your Highness Fusu, you can blame me." I spilled the wine under the hibiscus flowers, and sighed, "I wanted to take you home.
"That's not your fault."
I turned my head to see that the man was covered in moonlight and had a guqin on his back.
"Snow Maiden." Gao Xiran smiled kindly at me: "Long time no see."
"Gao Gongzi ......" I looked at Gao Xiran and said in surprise: "You are not accompanying Miss Liu......"
"yes, I'll join the army after sending her back." He sat down beside me, stretched out his hand to me, and smiled, "Snow Maiden doesn't mind taking two sips of this wine."
"Please." I chuckled and handed the flask to him.
"I just arrived, I was going to enter the tent to attend the banquet, but when I saw you coming to a remote place alone, I didn't feel at ease for a while, so I came over to have a look." He paused and said, "I didn't know that you also had some relationship with Fusu Gongzi."
"Not me." I picked up a fallen hibiscus flower and lowered my eyes, "It's my mother."
"This ......," he retracted his searching gaze, took a long sip of wine from the spout, and said to himself, "good wine......
"Good wine indeed......," I asked him, "how have you been doing these years."
"Yes, Your Highness takes good care of me." He put down the flask, and looked like he wanted to say something.
"I'm very good with him, even after three years, I still want to be close." I gently planted the hibiscus flower in my hand in the soil under the tree. Although the hibiscus flower falls towards the opening, but every withering is for the next splendid bloom, like the sun constantly setting and rising, and like the four seasons of spring and autumn, endlessly, but in my opinion, this flower is more like loving someone, there will be low tides, there will be troubles, but even so, people who know how to love will still hold on gently, because they understand, ups and downs are always inevitable, nothing will make them shake their original choice, the faith of love is eternal."
"Gao Gongzi." I smiled at him, "That's how it is with me and Changxi."
"Ah......h That's true."
