Xun Chen's last trace of anger also dissipated, and he even felt a wave of shame rise from his chest, struggled to get up from the ground, cleaned up his clothes, and saluted her.

"I blamed the lady for the mistake, don't blame the lady."

"It's okay, it's good that Mr. is awake." She waved her hand, "Sir's clothes are wet, let's take them off and dry them." ”

He didn't bring a change of clothes, and wouldn't it be rude if he stripped off only his underwear, and there were only him and the girl here? But when Xun Chen thought like this, he looked up at the girl and wanted to refuse, but found that she was only wearing a shirt.

…… And I'm still soaking wet.

Realizing that before he broke into this village, the girl was probably bathing, Xun Chen felt that his whole face was beginning to burn.

"It's a faux pas that disturbed the lady," he quickly turned his head to the side, "The lady went into the room to change clothes by herself, don't pay attention to the next ......"

"I'm used to being in the wilderness, but my husband looks much more delicate than me," she seemed to smile softly, "I've really been wearing wet clothes all night, and if I catch a cold, wouldn't it be troublesome to find a doctor in this deserted village?" ”

This is indeed reasonable, he thought, in the past few years, there have been epidemics in various places, and he should not be careless. Fortunately, the maiden led him out of the hot springs, and went indoors, and made a fire outside, so that he could hang his robe outside and roast it.

When he himself followed the fire to keep warm, he couldn't help but take advantage of the light of the fire to look at the girl carefully.

She was not born outstanding, but her skin was smooth and clean, which added a little color, and she had a pair of clear and clear eyes, which made people feel close at first sight.

It is inappropriate to look at a woman like this, not to mention that this girl looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and she lives here alone, so she may not be married, let alone look at it like this, but he forgot about God for a while. It wasn't until she turned her face to look at him that he realized he had been too rude.

"I don't know what's going on around here," he immediately looked for a topic, "and there wasn't even a house, so I was separated from my attendants." ”

She didn't care, "Last year, Yuan Shao and Tian Kai fought here, the room was like a county, and there was no grass in the wild, who would stay?" ”

Xun Chen was slightly moved by this sentence, for no other reason, as a strategist under Yuan Shao's account, in the attack of Yuan Shao and Tian Kai, he naturally had a lot of effectiveness, and when he heard the girl's bland description, he unconsciously felt a sense of guilt.

But that guilt was quickly replaced by a muffled rattle in the belly.

"Sir is hungry," she said, standing up, "I'll go get something to eat." ”

"There is a lady of Lao," he thought she was going to look for a few wheat cakes under the porch, but the girl looked left and right, took a stick, and walked to the brook that flowed in front of the village.

“…… Wife? ”

"Sir is not used to coarse rice," she did not reply, "I will find some small fish and make you a fish soup." ”

She pulled out a dagger out of nowhere, sharpened the stick, then pulled up her trouser legs, and walked barefoot into the stream, where the moonlight flowed like a stream on her jet-black hair, on her thin shoulders, and then down her waist, swirling on her glowing calves, and finally falling into the endless stream of water, which flowed between her toes.

He stared at her figure in the moonlight, and felt his face heat up again, but she didn't seem to care that he was looking at her.

With a smile on her eyes, and so slender, isn't she a goddess in the mountains to have such a beautiful posture?

Lu Xuanyu frantically quarreled with the black blade in his head.

She said, "Don't you know how to count etiquette?" 】

"That's your friend, not mine. Black Blade said coldly, "I'm not happy. 】

[Even if you're not happy, can't you kill a fish? 】

"Kill me," it said, "If you kill me, I'll scream." 】

【…… It's like I can't kill a few fish without you. She groaned in her head, raised her stick, and slammed it down.

[See! She held up the bloody loot and smiled triumphantly, "Do you think you can stop me!" 】

The Black Blade was silent.

"Lady be careful!" The young man who was cooking the fire under the eaves exclaimed.

[People are still squeaking! ] Why don't you squeak! 】

The black blade retained his dignity as a divine soldier, and he didn't "squeak" it out.

Dig a little lard and put it in a clay pot, heat it up, throw the washed and gutted fish into it, fry it and then add water and salt, and the aroma will soon waft out.

Xun Chen looked at her neat posture when she was working, and felt that even if such a woman was from a poor family, someone was willing to ask for marriage, why did she live here alone?

When this question was asked, she didn't raise her head, and she held a wooden spoon and gave him fish soup there.

"If I don't live here, where can I go?"

There is Jizhou in the north and Qingzhou in the south, and she ......

Xun Chen just wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed carefully. He didn't know the identity of this woman, and he didn't know if she had anything to do with the people in Pingyuan City, after all, Liu Bei was stationed not far from here, so he should be more vigilant in his words and not reveal his identity.

"The world is so big, where can't I go?"

"That's a good thing," she said lightly, "I originally thought that Xuzhou was very good and suitable for settling down." ”

She knew what Cao Gong had done in Xuzhou, but not only was he not disappointed, but he felt that her eyebrows were cold and she had a natural demeanor. Besides, Cao Gong's slaughter of Xuzhou is indeed too brutal, and it has the reputation of hurting benevolence, she is a woman, and she has such a simple and kind heart, isn't it more cute and respectable?

He thought so in his heart, and said it like this, of course, as the son of Yingchuan Xun, Xun Chen, who can occupy a place in Yuan Shao's account, naturally understands how to speak softly and politely, but he was so moved sincerely, and when he praised her for "cute", the girl suddenly raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

But she was not shy or thankful, and just hastily ended the previous topic.

"The night is deep, and after the gentleman has eaten the soup cakes, he should go to bed."

At that moment, the young man felt that there was some secret desire flowing through his heart, such as......

He is the son of a family, and she looks like a country girl, if he wants, he can invite her affectionately to spend a good night together, the moonlight is just right tonight, how suitable is it to pour out his heart?

But he quickly reproached himself for the fleeting thought, and was ashamed of it.

Mo said that he had always been quiet and polite, and he had never acted so lightly, just saying that this girl had saved him tonight, and he should not have such a frivolous thought.

But the girl didn't seem to notice that this young and handsome young man was staring at her so intently, and there were still these complicated thoughts in her heart, she just smiled and said, "Although this Zhuangzi is desolate, there are still a few bad rooms, let me sort them out for my husband." ”

A full moon hung high in the air, she carried the black blade on her back, carried the pot of wine she hadn't finished, sat on the roof, looked at the bright moon, and felt that tonight's events were incredible.

"This thing must be a strange thing," she said, "Oh my God, I'm so unprofessional that I haven't even used a detection magic." 】

On that jade gadget, through the field of vision of detecting magic, a strong aura of confusion control system emanated.

[Regarding this confusion control magic," Blackblade said, "There must be something wrong with your understanding. 】

She was puzzled, "What's the problem? Rolling your face with this thing can improve your charm value in a short period of time, isn't it just for this? 】

Blackblade was silent for a few moments before he finally spoke cautiously.

"I think you're too sluggish, or rather, your values make it impossible for you to think seriously about the true role of the jade seal," it said, "but maybe it's a good thing. 】

[I'm not sluggish at all,] she immediately protested, [I feel that buddy's strong single arrow! 】

[Oh, oh, what do you think of him?] 】

[Great beauty! She said, "The feeling of being pleasing to the eye, graceful and graceful, and feeling that it will prolong life after a few glances, is their family so beautiful? When he saw Xun Yu, he also felt that the spotlight of the world was slapping his face! What kind of gene is this! 】

[Oh, then why did you shoot yourself a vigil?] 】

Why did she use spells to keep herself vigilant when she saw such a beautiful woman who made her happy when she saw it?

Regarding this question, Lu Hangyu thinks the answer is very simple - beauty is beautiful, and she is not a person who can be drawn into her own circle, of course, she can't sleep with confidence!

Aren't you gracious to him? 】

[That's right,] she said, "It's because I saved him, not him, that I can't let my guard down. 】

…… The Black Blade seemed to let out a [poof] laugh.

Except for this round of bright moon, is there anything that is eternal, present, past, and eternal?

From the rocky beach outside Luoyang City, to the fireworks in the market in the past few years, to the sea of corpses and blood in Chang'an City, to the vast wasteland at the junction of Qinghai and Hebei. She thought of so many people that she didn't know where they were, but she finally decided to simplify the pile of things in her head and stop the sad thoughts.

She poured a glass of wine, saluting Mingyue, herself, and the black blade beside her.

"Although you often have bad intentions," she said, "but you are still a good and reliable companion. 】

[Although I think that what is given to you is frank and loyal advice, I will pretend that I didn't hear the first half of the sentence,] Black Blade said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 】

[Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. 】

[In addition, I also want to give you a little advice,] said the Black Blade, "Can you stop rubbing your face with it?" 】

The noisy birds on the nearby branches began their day's fellowship, and the noble-born, resourceful, young and handsome scribe awoke from the straw mat.

The house was very simple, but it was very clean, and it was fumigated with herbs to repel insects, so it had a vague aroma of plants and trees, which made him feel refreshed.

The soaked clothes from last night were on the brazier and were completely dry. He opened a crack in the door, and the red leaves fell into the stream, gurgling, and met his eyes, but the girl did not know where to go, or had not yet risen?

There are no bronze mirrors in the countryside, but he has another way. Xun Chen first sorted out his underwear, then changed into a straight robe, tied his belt, put on his shoes, came to the stream, carefully combed his hair bun, and did not forget to wear a crown when he put on his hair crown, and finally ran through it with a hairpin.

Xun Chen didn't care about his appearance in the eyes of women on weekdays, but he was very concerned about it this morning.

Fortunately, the young scribe reflected in the water is graceful and elegant, and no matter how harsh the person is, he must praise the "beautiful face", so when the girl stepped on the fallen leaves and carried a pheasant out of the forest, Xun Chen finally showed a somewhat confident smile on his face.

"Did you sleep well, sir?" She greeted him from afar.

"You have to enter the Huipu, with Henglan Zhiruo by your side......" he smiled, and when he was habitually saying a few words of praise, she had already approached.

She was dressed in men's clothes, with a long bow on her back, and her hair was in a man's bun, tied up with a headband, and her half-worn clothes were woven of coarse cloth, with not a single pattern on it.

But she didn't notice him looking at her, she just raised the pheasant in her hand, "We'll eat this this morning." ”

The girl sat down beside a stone by the brook, and began to deal with the pheasant with great concentration, disemboweling it, boiling water and plucking its feathers, and in a short time she had finished cleaning it up, and set it on the fire and began to roast it. Her technique is extremely neat, Xun Chen has never seen a man in the army who is more neat than her, so he stared at it for a long time, and he was distracted.

Since she has such archery skills that can shoot pheasants, she can naturally protect herself, no wonder she can live alone in the wilderness, but this is not a long-term solution, she ......

The girl looked up, "Sir is hungry?" ”

Xun Chen's face burned again all of a sudden, and he couldn't tell her that what he was thinking about just now was not himself, but her.

The morning food is fish soup, grilled chicken, and wheat cakes. The wheat cake is rough in the mouth and difficult to swallow, Xun Chen eats quietly, because he has such good endurance, and when he goes out with the army, no matter how bad the food is, he can share the joys and hardships with the soldiers. But the girl was not reluctant to eat the coarse wheat cake, and he absolutely did not believe that this girl had such good endurance like him...... I'm afraid I'm used to eating such coarse food, so I don't notice the hard work.

She was kind to him, and made him admire this, Xun Chen thought, he is not married yet, isn't it just right?

After such a thought arose in his heart, he was dismissed as ridiculous at first, but soon he found many reasons to convince himself.

He is in his early twenties, and naturally he has been engaged in his hometown, but Yingchuan suffered, and when he went back, he saw broken walls, green grass and white bones, so Xun Chen's new marriage became a small trouble, and it has been ruined so far.

There are many scholars in Jizhou, and there are many families who are willing to marry the Xun family, he responded to this, but he rejected that, Yuan Shao's factions are numerous, and there are always many troubles in marrying a daughter from a Jizhou family. And she was not of high origin, had no makeup, and was not extraordinary, so he could claim to marry her in return for his kindness, which not only blocked the mouths of many people, but also made a beautiful talk.

As for whether the girl will refuse him......

Xun Chen was confident in his appearance and bearing, unless she already had a sweetheart, he couldn't think of a reason for her to reject him anyway.

So when she handed him a bowl of soup, he reached out and took it, but instead of drinking it immediately, he tentatively asked her such questions.

Is she waiting for someone here?

Does she have any other relatives?

Are there any other people in the neighborhood who have anything to do with here?
