The carriage was brisk and not so bumpy to sit in.

But Huo Lian still repeatedly told the coachman to slow down.

The coachman is also the Metropolitan Inspector, Zhu Chuan couldn't stop Huo Lian from coming to Xucheng, but he arranged for the guards to accompany him, Huo Lian did not refuse, one was injured, and second, his identity, the identity of the Seven Stars, it was better to let the people of the Metropolitan Inspectorate follow, and the emperor could rest assured.

When Huo Lian didn't know how many times he told him, the coachman cautiously asked: "Governor, do you want to stop and rest for a while?" ”

Huo Lian in the car hummed: "It's been a day too, let's take a rest." ”

The coachman couldn't help but look at the sky, yes, yes, from morning to sunset, but the road did not go far, unlike the governor used to walk, it was really fast, and now he doubted that he could get down and walk faster than the royal horse drove.

I didn't expect to see Du Du walking at such a speed in this life.

"And." Huo Lian's voice came from the car again, "Don't call me Dudu, call, General Huo." ”

The coachman hurriedly responded, and then gestured to the guards around him, and everyone scattered to investigate the surrounding guards.

Huo Lian sat in the car, looked at the sleeping woman, reached into the quilt and touched her hand, it was warm, Huo Lian was relieved, and then took the teacup from the side, fed her little by little with a small spoon, and swallowed the water smoothly.

After doing this, Huo Lian got out of the car, changed the servants who followed in the car behind him, and when they were cleaned up, Huo Lian got into the car again.

The woman in the car was still asleep.

I don't know when I'm going to wake up, I don't know if I'm going to wake up, I don't know who is waking up.

Although he didn't know if he was familiar with him when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer strange to pick up her who was asleep at this time, and he no longer resisted touching her face and hands, just like when he took care of her before, he was familiar with his left and right hands.

Huo Lian looked at Qixing's face, raised her hand and touched it gently, her skin was as smooth and delicate as before, but she was thinner than before, she was already injured, and after she fell into a coma, she could only eat liquid food

It's too bitter, it's too sinful, and he'd rather she didn't come back.

But.

His hand rubbed against Seven Stars' cheeks.

People are really selfish.

Deep down, he still wanted her back, wanted to see her again, wanted to hear her, wanted her to look at him and smile.

Since the death of his father-in-law, he thought that there was no nostalgia in this world, and there was nothing indispensable, he only wanted to be alone, and loneliness made him the most reassured.

I didn't expect that one day he would want to have someone by his side, he wanted this person to be there all the time, as long as he thought that without her, his heart would be blank.

"Governor, no, General Huo." The voice of the border guard was heard from outside.

Huo Lian withdrew her hand.

"I bought some food from a nearby farmer, so you can eat some."

Huo Lian hummed, the curtain opened, and the guards handed in the food box.

The farmer's meals are simple, but because during the Chinese New Year, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as festive pastries.

Huo Lian looked at the food box and a piece of steamed cake, couldn't help laughing, raised it up and said to Qixing, "Look, tiger." ”

This year is the Year of the Tiger, and the steamed cake is made in the shape of a tiger, decorated with colorful colors, which is very cute.

This woman loves to eat all kinds of things, and if she is awake now, she will definitely eat happily.

Huo Lian put the pastry in her mouth and ate it in a big gulp.

After eating the pastry, open the vegetables and meat.

"This family made steamed meat, made it very carefully, and added pickles."

Huo Lian took a bowl and ate it.

Originally, he was not interested in what to eat and drink, and he ate just to live.

However, Qixing likes to eat very much, and he used to be very interested in eating and drinking by his side, and he ate seriously and with great interest.

I didn't care about it before, but now I think that if she really lives in the sword, although Luo Gong has carved a lot, it is dusty, and it is not the real world.

Everything he possessed and ignored was rare and rare to her.

She can't eat now, so he eats for her.

She can't wake up now, she can't see the world, and he looks for her.

Eating and drinking during the day, watching the snow, lakes and rivers, and when she was in a hurry at night, Huo Lian would drive the coachman away, sit in front of the car with Qixing wrapped in a quilt, and let her watch the starry sky while driving.

"The starry sky in the Northland is better." He told her.

They didn't have time to look at the stars last time they were in the north, but this time they could.

"When you get to the north, I'll take you to see it, I know that there is a place where you can see the most beautiful starry sky, I used to hide there when I was a child, it's a place that only I know."

The woman in her arms slept quietly and deeply.

A person always speaks quietly, he is not a person who likes to talk, Huo Lian's voice stopped, and the only sound on the road at night was the sound of carriages, horses' hooves and torches burning.

But these voices gradually faded away, and under the winter starry sky, he hugged the person in his arms tightly and merged into the heavens and the earth.

Time seems to pass quickly and slowly.

Fast means that it has been seven days since leaving Xucheng, and slow is the feeling of the coachman.

According to this way, I don't know when I will be able to reach the north.

Stopping on the side of the road again, looking at Huo Lian standing on the side of the road, the coachman couldn't help but mutter.

"Governor, it's better for General Huo to go slowly." The guard whispered to the coachman, "It's best to go to the capital to live first, Deputy Zhu. Zhu Dudu was also happy. ”

Although they already knew about the emperor's order, the guards were still not used to calling Huo Lian a general, nor were they used to calling Zhu Chuan a governor.

Change is always hard to get used to.

For example, Huo Dudu was jumping up violently at this time, tearing off a branch, like a naughty teenager.

Both the guards and the coachman were dumbfounded.

The servants who were waiting in the car over there got down and saluted Huo Lian: "Miss's four bodies are very soft, and she looks happy when she bathes, so she must be about to wake up." ”

Huo Lian didn't have too many surprises about this, she had said it many times along the way.

Huo Lian didn't speak, and ordered, "Let's go." "I got into the car with a branch in my hand.

The coachmen and horses were busy, and soon the car slowly drove forward.

Huo Lian in the car was about to speak, but when he saw the scabbard placed in Qixing's arms slipping aside, he picked it up first, put it in Qixing's arms, and then waved the branch.

"Look, there's a red fruit on it." He said, pointing to the branches.

On the branches of the trees in the winter sunshine, there is a fruit, although it is a little dry, but the red is beautiful.

"Can you eat it?"

A low female voice asked.

Huo Lian shook her head: "I don't know." He looked at the fruit and held out his hand, "I'll taste it—"

When he tasted the words, his voice stopped abruptly, his outstretched hand also stopped, and the whole person seemed to freeze, he felt that he should move his gaze, but found that he couldn't move.

I didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to look at the woman in the car.

He also seemed to hear Seven Stars speak before, and after each surprise, he found that it was just his own hallucination.

And this time?

Huo Lian slowly turned her head and saw the woman under the quilt looking at him with a pair of eyes open, and when she saw him coming, she smiled.

It's that kind of polite smile.

Just like before.

"Give me a taste." She said.

Huo Lian held the branch motionlessly, and her heart seemed to be overturned, and she was at a loss.

Probably not getting a response, the woman thought he couldn't hear it, so she politely raised her voice: "Liang Bazi, give me a taste." ”

Liang Bazi.

Huo Lian thought that when she saw her for the first time, she suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Liang Bazi, I'll take the sword-"

Huo Lian's gaze looked at the scabbard in her arms.

"You," his lips moved, "who is it?" ”

Probably didn't dare to ask or didn't want to ask, but he had to ask, his voice was so small that he couldn't hear it.

The lying woman heard.

"Me?" She said, looking at Huo Lian, "I'm Jiu Needle." ”

"Luo Jiu Needle."

Standing on the mountain road, the pheasant lifted the basket in his hand and looked in the direction of the north.

I don't know if Miss is awake.

No, it should be said, is the eldest lady awake.

"Pheasant, the previous me, not me, is my sister, nine needles."

On the way back to Xucheng, the young lady suddenly told her.

At that time, the pheasant thought that the young lady must be sick and confused, how could she say such a strange thing.

"Pheasant, you and I grew up together, think about it, after I came out of the Lu family." In the carriage, the young lady held her hand and asked softly, "Is it the same as the me you know?" ”

Is it the same?

The pheasant's mind became trance-like.

The young lady who came out of the Lu family and woke up in the ruined temple was like a new life, showing amazing skills step by step, and taking her into one world after another that she had never set foot in, rivers and lakes, power and ministers, and even the emperor.

It was her young lady, and it wasn't the young lady she knew.

"I'm the same as my sister, I haven't been in good health since I was a child, I'm just a little better, when something happened, the uncles and uncles of Beitang tried their best to send me to my grandfather, but in fact, I don't want to live anymore."

"It's just that my grandfather said, live, live for your mother, your sister, your father, your uncles and uncles in Beitang, it's better to die than to live, I went to the Lu family, Lai lived, and originally planned to live for a lifetime, who would have thought that it would be difficult to live, the Lu family bullied me and drove me away, and my heartstrings were broken at that time."

"You took me back to Xucheng, my ghost gradually dispersed, and I was lucky to meet my sister."

"My father forged my sister with a sword, but I really felt that my sister lived on the sword, especially when I was a child, I could feel my sister looking at me, and I also liked to play with my sister, and then when I grew up, I rarely saw my father, and I couldn't feel my sister anymore."

"I didn't expect to see my sister again at the moment when my ghost was gone."

The pheasant still remembers that when the young lady recounted this moment in the dimly lit car, her eyes were as bright as stars, full of joy and happiness.

"My sister took me in her arms and told me to sleep peacefully, saying that everything was with her, and I fell into a deep sleep, but my sister would wake me up and let me do what I liked."

"I don't have to worry about anything anymore, I just need to sleep quietly and do my craft, and I'm really happy and relaxed like I've never had before."

"Until my sister broke her sword, it was difficult for the two of them to tie up, wake me up, and disperse by myself."

"I saw with my own eyes how much my sister has done over the years, and I have also seen what my sister has done with my name and my hands."

"Pheasant, I haven't come to the world for nothing in my life, and that's enough."

What does it mean to be enough? Pheasant tears fell, clenching Miss's hand, and the Lady in the carriage smiled brightly.

"Pheasant." The young lady took her hand and smiled and said, "I want to go home, so please take me home again this time, and send me to my mother and grandfather." ”

The pheasant's vision was blurred, and he didn't know if it was blocked by tears again, or if the winter morning mist was dispersing in the mountains.

She took a deep breath, retracted her gaze, walked towards the mountain, and soon came to the cemetery halfway up the mountain, the wind blew in the mountains, and the crisp birdsong came from the cemetery, watching the wooden birds hanging in front of the tomb turn, as if dancing to greet her, the pheasant couldn't help but show a smile.

"Miss." She quickened her pace, "I'm coming to see you." ”
