"Axia, look what a great view here! You can see the Fang City in the east of the city and the tall tower in the south of the city! ”

"Miss, it's very dangerous here, let the old butler know that he will scold me! Let's go down quickly! ”

On the trunk of a big tree, boys and girls who had grown up a little bit sat side by side, the girl swayed her legs, excitedly pointing to the distance, and the boy only stared at the girl's every move, for fear that there would be a slight mistake.

"Asha! I don't like it when you call me Miss! How many times have I said it! How to grow up more and more! ”

"Oh, eldest lady, the old housekeeper said that there must be rules, otherwise I won't be allowed to serve you!"

"Grandpa housekeeper? What is a housekeeper grandpa! If he says you, I'll ... I'll pull the beard off his chin again, I'm the biggest in the world! I'll send you my personal jade pendant to show your identity as the number one dogleg! ”

The boy listened to the girl's words, his heart warmed, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of the old housekeeper's already small beard, and he had to be "taken care of" by the girl often.

The girl scratched her head suspiciously, is it such a funny thing to pluck her beard?

"Well, that's it, you still call me Ah Xue in private, and if someone else is there, call me Miss."

"Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the sun shining through the gaps in the trees on their faces and bodies, swaying in the whispers of the breeze.

I think that's just right, and it would be nice if I could stay in this moment.

"Asha, do you like me?"

What? Did I hear me wrong?

"I ....." My face is hot, like coals lit in a firewood in winter, I can't answer, this is what those old men say if you want to talk about it.

Looking at me like this, the girl touched my head helplessly, nodded at me and winked, indicating that I understand, it is natural to like me, and my father and mother also like me.

I blushed and realized that I was mistaken! I lowered my head and slapped myself twice in my heart.

"Axia, do you say that the wine in the capital is as delicious as your hometown?" The girl turned her head, and the thought flew off into the distance again.

“......”

"Ah Xia, I heard that there will be big fireworks in the capital every Chinese New Year, do you want to see it too?"

“......”

The girl's good-looking brow furrowed, as if she was a little annoyed, and turned her head to look at the boy who was still confused, and the boy felt the sharp gaze, and his head raised himself to look at it.

“......”

"Asha! Why are you just staring at me! A sucker! The girl turned her head abruptly, looking angry.

"It's boring, the sun is so hot, my face is red! Homecoming! When the girl had finished speaking, she jumped off the tree, landed steadily, and began to run.

"Ahh Miss, ah no, Ah Xue! Wait for me! The boy did not come to his senses until this moment, and hurriedly jumped off the tree, stumbling and almost falling, and stumbling after him.

The boy and girl ran on a summer afternoon, the boy behind looked panicked, the crimson of his cheeks had not completely faded, the girl in front was smiling, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, her dimples were filled with intoxicating wine, and the sun was flowing freely on the hem of her skirt, like a neon coat from heaven.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lanterns in the river embark on a journey to a distant place, and the lanterns and reflections reflect the whole river brightly, carrying the thoughts of the lantern makers, flowing to different destinations.

Ah Xue, who was already a girl, playfully walked on the shore, turning around from time to time to laugh at the sturdy young man carrying the lantern behind her.

"Axia, you're so tall, you're still so stupid, you almost knocked over the lantern, when will you be smart?"

"Isn't this my intention to reflect Miss's wisdom and martial arts?"

"Ah Xia, can the river lantern really be delivered to the housekeeper's grandfather, will he be happy?"

"Definitely!" Thinking of the old housekeeper, I was inexplicably sad, he was like our grandfather, taking care of Ah Xue carefully, and also taught me a lot of things, not only martial arts, swordsmanship, but also the truth of life.

"Asha, let's elope....."

The young man froze in place, looking at the girl's delicate face, unable to speak.

Behind the girl, there were dotted fireflies, cicadas chirping one after another in the distance, and flowing water murmuring.

Tears crossed the girl's cheeks, and I was silent, such a summer, a sad summer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Asha! You don't go! Ah Xue stood at the gate and shouted at me, wanting to rush to my side, but was dragged by the master.

I tidied up the saddle, turned around, looked at Ah Xue and smiled slightly, looking at the old man firmly, the old man nodded, and slowly raised three fingers with his free hand.

Three years, only three years, Ah Xue will get married in three years, I know, the old lady knows, only Ah Xue doesn't know.

"Asha! Can you listen to me this time! Don't go! Daddy, let it go! Let me pass! Ah Xue desperately broke free, and the master's hand did not move like iron tongs.

I looked at the lady behind the gate, and she looked at me, silently wiping away tears, her eyes full of reluctance.

I knelt down slowly at the gate, kowtowed three times, and my forehead was red, and then slowly got up and turned around.

I didn't look at Ah Xue again, I was afraid that if I saw this, I would be reluctant to do it anymore.

"Asha! I hate you! ”

The young man's figure paused slightly, but he still resolutely turned over and got on his horse, carrying a long sword, towards the border, and rode to the dust.

"Asha ......"

The girl burst into tears, fell to her knees, and stared at the lonely back, until the man disappeared into the mist, until she knelt alone in front of the door of the house, until the heavy rain soaked her clothes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was a young man at the border, he learned things very quickly, was proficient in swordsmanship, fought harder than anyone else, his body was full of scars, he was already a centurion in less than a year, he was deeply appreciated by the commander, and he was also feared by his own people, and he was called "Xia Maniac" in private.

However, the young man who is with weapons all day long will also climb to the top of the city on a bright night with a bright moon, holding a small jade pendant, thinking of the old people in the distance, and silently speaking.

"Xue, I'm sorry, I can't stand side by side with you as a slave and playmate."

"Ah Xue, don't hate the master, the master is a good person, and he is willing to give me three years to make contributions."

"Ah Xue, don't be too sad, the housekeeper grandfather will be heartbroken, last time I scolded me in my dream for not taking good care of you."

"Ah Xue, in front of you, I am willing to be that little fool forever, so that you will not bear to leave me because you are worried about me."

"Ah Xue, I will take you to drink all the wine in the capital and watch the big fireworks all over the city on the highest roof."

"Ah Xue, I like you, wait for me."

The moonlight reflected on the young man's cold armor, revealing a cold light, and the young man stood alone at the head of the city, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, full of slaughter, but there was infinite tenderness in his eyes.
