"When my aunt was pregnant, my grandfather led the army in the Northland. At that time, my grandfather was besieged by the Xi people, and his whereabouts were unknown, and the news was transmitted back to Beijing. Somehow this matter was noticed by Ah Niang, Ah Dad walked in front, and she followed behind with August Pregnancy-"

Speaking of the old incident of his parents being repeatedly mentioned by the family after the public teasing and execution, Xiao Mu had a little astringent smile in his eyes: "When the two of them arrived in the north, my grandfather had turned defeat into victory and solved the dilemma - A-Niang gave birth to me in the northland, and because of the lack of conditions, she found a young nurse in a nearby town." At that time, the nursing mother had just been separated from her husband in the war, and her child of several months had unfortunately died. ”

He said slowly, and Hengyu listened quietly.

"Later, when I returned to Beijing, my nurse accompanied me, until when I was three years old, news came from the north that my husband had been separated. Knowing that this man had been incorporated into the Northland garrison, the nurse rushed back to the Northland to reunite with him. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and soon after the end of this three-year life separation, it was a death farewell. ”

"After this person passed away due to injury and illness, the nursing mother lived alone in the north, and during this time, she and my aunt never broke the correspondence." Xiao Mu said this, paused slightly, and then continued: "It wasn't until something happened at home that the nurse found my father's old ministry in the north to inquire about the situation - after I appeared to meet her, the nurse became my own mother. ”

"Being commensurate with me as mother and son has allowed me to have a new identity to cover up my past, which my mother took the initiative to mention. In order not to make others suspicious and make this matter watertight, my mother has made a lot of changes and dedication, step by step to today, the road of the past eight years, she has not been easy. ”

Hengyu was quite touched when he heard this.

Since she began to doubt Xiao Mu's identity, she has thought about Aunt Xiao's true identity, and she doesn't understand who can be so meticulous and real - now it seems that this mother-son relationship has not been acted out from beginning to end.

"What about the appearance of the Hou Ye, and how is it concealed?" She tried to ask a relatively insignificant question again.

"At first it was a cover-up, then it changed completely." Xiao Mu half-lowered his eyes: "At that time, Yan Ming first learned this technique of changing his appearance, so I forced him to use it on me. ”

Heng Yu couldn't imagine how the so-called technique of changing appearance was used, but presumably the means that could make a person fade from his original appearance would inevitably make people experience some pain and torture.

She didn't dare to ask in detail, and after a while, she said, "So Doctor Yan is the one who knows, so Master Yan must be too?" ”

Xiao Mu said: "Yan Junshi was originally a secret guard under my father's command, and when he first fled from the Beijing Division, he took Yan Ming to lead me away and delay the pursuing soldiers, and almost died because of this. ”

Heng Yu couldn't help but understand: "So it's no wonder that Doctor Yan takes the life of the Hou Ye so seriously, and speaks so hard......"

Thinking of Yan Ming's hardness, Xiao Mu tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little ashamed: "I owe them too much, but I don't know what kind of virtue I can." ”

"Hou Ye thinks like this, it's like never looking in the mirror-" Heng Yu said firmly: "They are willing to do this, it must be because Hou Ye is worth it." ”

When the mountain of the Shi family has collapsed, the young man who makes these people still willing to stay with his life - how can he say that he is virtuous and can?

Heng Yu looked at the person in front of him, as if he saw the young man in the ruined temple in the past: "The father and son of the Yan family are amazing, Aunt Xiao is amazing, and Master Hou is also amazing." ”

There is no need to mention how he treats the people around him and even the strangers, his kindness is engraved in his bones.

And what he has is more than goodness -

The glory of being a "little general" in the past may be said to be the shadow accumulated by his grandparents and fathers.

But General Xiao, who has become the envoy of the Yingzhou Festival who firmly holds the military power in the north, and whose exploits are famous in history, is based on his own strength.

He's great, there's no doubt about it—but it's as if only he doesn't know.

She understood why he "didn't know" about his own goodness, she was only nine years old when Aung had an accident, and she couldn't get rid of her self-blame for many years, let alone him.

Only talk about other people's contributions, only say what you owe to others-

But how did he come through the past eight years?

He said nothing about that.

Hengyu didn't try to ask, after she added some dead branches to the fire, she stretched out her hand to the weak man: "Master Hou, bake the fire." ”

Knowing that he was having a hard time, she leaned over and carefully lifted his hands up, held them in them, and placed them above the fire.

His fingers were slender and powerful, and there were rough and thin calluses in the palm of his hand and at the tiger's mouth, which was bitterly cold.

"Roast and it'll be warm." Heng Yu looked at him with a smile.

The girl's frostbitten cheeks were red by the firelight, and there seemed to be flames flickering in her clear eyes.

Xiao Mu noticed that his cold and numb ten fingers that were gently held by the girl were gradually regaining consciousness, like a long river of ice that had frozen a long winter, and was awakened and revived.

His arm gained some strength, and he took his hands away and took hers in his hand.

Hengyu couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiao Mu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "You have been holding it up like this below, don't you feel hot?" ”

Scald?

Hengyu suddenly felt that his cheeks were hot, and he hurriedly retracted his hand and put it on his knee: "Yes...... It's hot. ”

Xiao Mu seemed to casually flip the palm of his hand to roast the fire, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and a hint of a smile overflowed from the tail of his eyes.

There was silence for a moment, except for the sound of the branches burning.

"Master Hou, in fact, I haven't fully told the truth." After a while, Heng Yu suddenly said.

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her.

"Hou Ye asked me why I went and returned, in fact, not only to save Hou Ye, but also because I suspected that those who wanted to be unfavorable to Hou Ye may have something to do with what I was pursuing——"

Xiao Mu asked, "Why didn't you say it together?" ”

"I want to wait until I recognize the Hou Ye, so I don't seem presumptuous. In case the Hou Ye is unwilling to recognize me, those old things will not be easy to mention to the Hou Ye. Hengyu said frankly.

Xiao Mu said "oh": "So, the reason why you want to recognize each other is because there is news to exchange with Benhou, and you can use Benhou." ”

Sure enough, this is a fox with a twisted head.

Heng Yu coughed lightly: "It's not all, in the end, we just experienced a life and death together, and for the rest of our lives, people will always be more emotional." ”

Xiao Mu let out another "oh".

The sensual person seems to be him.

But he still said with some resignation: "Then let's talk about the old things you are investigating." ”

"It's still about my Ah Weng eight years ago, and the person who robbed and killed us in the mountains that night was not an ordinary mountain bandit-" Heng Yu put away his casual look.

At this time, outside the cave, where the sky was already bright, a faint voice suddenly came.

"You guys, go ahead and have a look......"

"Hurry ......"

Heng Yu's expression tightened slightly when he heard this: "Master Hou, someone is here." ”

It's hard to say whether the person is an enemy or a friend.

Xiao Mu had already withdrawn his hand from the fire, picked up the bloodstained long sword on his side, supported himself to stand up, facing the direction of the cave entrance, and blocked Hengyu behind him.

Heng Yu also picked up the sleeve arrow and quickly stood up.
