Chapter 5: We None Have a Home, We Are One Home
We just sat in the woods, the noon heat in summer was unusually hot, maybe everyone's attention was not on the weather and temperature at all, and now suddenly calm down, how do you feel so hot, plus we are deep in the woods, the humidity is very strong, and it is extremely hot.
I inadvertently glanced at Xia Hong, not only the strenuous exercise just now, but also the weather, Xia Hong's whole body was soaked, I didn't know that she had just been drenched in a heavy rain, from the tips of her hair to her chin, it was drenched, and even the rouge gouache on her face was spent, but it didn't affect the perception, and even with the blessing of sweat, Xia Hong's face had a feeling of blowing and breaking, as if she had just torn off the hydrating mask, the powder was tender and delicate.
- I don't know the age of Miss Xia yet
I opened my mouth out of place, and asked such an impolite question, and I don't know why I asked it, maybe I wanted a topic, or maybe I really wanted to know her age.
- Twenty-four years old
Xia Hong thought about it again and again, but still told me that maybe in their time, a strange man asking a girl's age is no different from playing hooligan.
But who made me just save her life.
-I am twenty-six, and I am two years older than you.
-Childe is young and promising, handsome, and has a bright future in the future.
This ancient person is also too polite, thank you at every turn, bless at every turn, praise people at every turn, praise me at every turn, I am still a little embarrassed, besides, I don't even know what era I am in, how can I have any future.
- Miss Xia, don't call me a son, I'm not a son, my name is Tang Hanqing, just call me Hanqing.
- Then I'll call you Brother Hanqing.
Yo Yo Yo, she called me brother Alas. Hearing this title, I instantly blushed.
- Yes, yes, yes. Very good, very good.
- Then don't call me Miss Xia, Brother Hanqing saved my life, I will treat you as my brother in the future, and you can also call me Hong'er.
- Okay, then I'll call you Hong'er in the future.
Brother Han Qing, Hong'er, it's so crooked to think about it, I didn't expect me to cross it and recognize a younger sister.
- By the way, Hong'er, Miss Xia Mu said that I will save you, you will tell me where I will send you, it is noon, the sun is so poisonous, are we looking for a place to escape the heat.
I can't get enough of this place.
-I'm sorry Brother Hanqing, it was Mu'er who deceived you, but in fact, there is no way back to rescue me.
-What do you mean?
How do I feel that I am still in the pit and have not come out, why is this Xia Mu still playing tricks with me, I sacrificed my life to save her sister.
-It's all my fault, Mu'er is afraid that Brother Han Qing will not be far away to come to the rescue, so she deceived Brother Han Qing, I can't go back now, everyone thinks that I disappeared in the robbery, life and death are uncertain, even my father doesn't know my current situation, if I go back rashly now, I will definitely be suspected by the emperor.
- So what should I do?
-Brother Hanqing can go back to the city alone, Brother Hanqing has helped me enough, but I can't let you be by my side all the time.
- How can I leave you here alone
It can be seen that Xia Hong still doesn't want me to go, in this wilderness, it's me, and I don't want to stay here by myself, besides, let me go now, where do I go? Let me go back to Xia Mansion to find Xia Qing by myself, I don't even know the way.
- Then we can't sit here all the time, I'm not familiar with this, let's find someone to find some water to drink.
- Isn't Brother Hanqing from the capital?
- How can I explain this to you? Not only am I not from the capital, but I am not even from your time.
Xia Hong looked at me with a puzzled expression, she definitely wouldn't understand my experience.
- Let's not talk about that, Hong'er, do you know if there are any people nearby, it's too hot.
- My family passes by here every year when they go out of the city to worship their ancestors, and there is a temple not far in front, why don't we go to the temple to see Brother Hanqing.
Xia Hong stood up, pointed to the front and looked at me and said.
- Okay, when we go to the temple to ask for a bowl of water, I have a lot of questions for you.
- Okay, then let's go.
Xia Hong led the way, I followed, we walked on the road in the countryside woods one after the other, although the weather was hot, but the atmosphere was a little comfortable.
- Hong'er, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?
On the way, we chatted with each other, also to distract from the hot weather.
- I don't know, let's take it one step at a time, maybe I won't have a home in the future.
- What are these words, your father will be happy to know that you are safe and sound now.
But this sentence seemed to touch Xia Hong's sore spot again, and her expression instantly darkened, and she let out a sigh of relief.
-My father, in his heart there are only the people of the world.
Maybe Xia Hong's father is not a good father, but he is definitely a good courtier.
-You still have your sisters, don't you say I'm your family, you still have me.
- Yes, I still have you, Brother Hanqing.
Speaking of this, Xia Hong's face finally had a bit of comfort.
- Brother Hanqing, where is your home?
- How can I explain to you, I don't have a home now.
- Then you don't have a home, I don't have a home, we will be a family in the future, Brother Hanqing!
- Yes, we will be a family from now on!
