"I'm going with you. ”

In the dark courtyard, An Qing replied without hesitation.

Zhao Wu'an frowned and said categorically: "No." Regardless of the dangers of this trip...... Your eldest brother Annan won't agree either. ”

Duan Taoli's words still made Zhao Wuan make up his mind to go to Shu.

Since he was separated from Tu Mi outside Fuzhou in early spring this year, he has never seen this Yan Daohuo's personal disciple again.

And now that Yan Daohuo has passed away, he gave him two of the three qi machines before he died. Not in advance, just because these two degrees of qi gave him a helping hand and helped him to be promoted to the first grade, Zhao Wuan had to repay it.

Shu is certainly dangerous, but since there is news of Tu Mi, Zhao Wuan has to break through to say anything. It's just that no matter what, you can't take An Qing with you anymore.

Seeing that An Qing still had grievances, Zhao Wu'an persuaded: "Your brother Annan is even willing to go to the official road alone for you to block the way of King Miao Dailou Duyun." If this is the case, how can I disobey my wishes?"

An Qing said stubbornly: "But when I went to Miaojiang, he didn't say anything...... Can Shu be farther than Miao Jiang?"

"People say that the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and it is not a lie. Shu is not necessarily as safe as Miaojiang. Zhao Wu'an hesitated, "Besides, this re-election of the alliance leader is tantamount to the final battle between Tangjiabao and the Black Cloud Society, and the number of first-grade masters alone is only afraid that it will be more than two hands...... Anyone who has some fame in the whole river and lake has to choose a side. ”

"So what?" An Qing said hurriedly, "When you came back from Miaojiang, you told me that you wanted to get married, but after you came back, you went to Bianliang again, and now you have come back from Bianliang, and you want to enter Shu for that little Taoist aunt?" Zhao Wu'an, when will you marry me?"

Zhao Wuan didn't know how to answer for a while, and stood in place in a daze, with an embarrassed look in his eyes.

Changing the preface three times or twice is indeed too much for a man.

When Zhao Wu'an was still stunned, An Qing had already made up her mind, took a step forward, stretched out her arms, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, An Qing closed her eyes and kissed her.

There was a soft, gentle touch on the lips. Zhao Wu'an was stunned, and responded unfamiliarly and awkwardly.

I don't know how long it took.

An Qing easily opened the contact and buried her head in his arms.

Wen Xiang nephrite is in his arms, Rao is Zhao Wu'an, and he can't say anything ruthless at this time.

"Leave after getting married. An Qing said in a low voice.

Zhao Wu'an was still stunned, but An Qing had already raised her head and said with a smile on her eyebrows.

"There is a way that Xiao Bie is newlywed, so you just let me try it, what is it like to be a newlywed with Xiao Bie. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned and laughed helplessly.

"Good. ”

————————

The news that the An family girl was going to get married quickly spread throughout Qingdi Township.

I really don't know how many rhetoric this guy said on the day he pretended to be him, the two elders of the An family in the past two days, especially Mrs. An, have almost changed their attitude towards Zhao Wu'an.

On the first day of Zhao Wu'an's visit to Qingdi Township, Mrs. An almost didn't want to admit that there was such a person at the dinner table who might become her son-in-law in the future, but in the past two days, she took the initiative to pick up vegetables for Zhao Wu'an, and even after hearing that Zhao Wu'an was a vegetarian, she told An Guangmao with great fanfare that he had to take a three-day break every ten days.

A few men didn't react, but it was bitter for An Qing, and in a month, there was suddenly an inexplicable extra time that more than half of the meat could not be opened.

For a few days, during the day, I followed the two brothers of the An family to send posts to receive congratulatory gifts, and at dinner, I listened to Mrs. An chatting about An Qing's childhood like a few family treasures. After dinner, I helped Annan clean up the inside and outside of the house, and sat in the courtyard with the three men of the An family, chatting with each other.

An Xingguo is often in the army, and it is inevitable that he is addicted to alcohol, although he is at the border, he can only buy a few pots of enjoyment at the end of each month with the military salary he saves, but when he returns home, he has to put out a wine cup every night and drink a few glasses with his father.

Annan was too strong to drink, and after getting drunk a few times, he didn't dare to drink again, so he drank tea with Zhao Wu'an.

Two wine bottles, two cups of tea. Four men sat around the stone table in the small courtyard, with a bright moon above their heads, night and night.

Among a few people, An Xingguo has more words, but people are also sincere, meticulously talking about many fortunate and interesting things that have happened over the years, An Guangmao took over the conversation from time to time, and talked about the changes in Qingdi Township in recent years.

Occasionally, it was Zhao Wu'an's turn to speak. He then deliberated on telling some old stories about the innocence of leaf-making. Since meeting An Qing, there is nothing to hide from these three people, so they all picked it up one by one.

Of the four, Annan was the least talkative, drinking tea in silence most of the time, listening to the other three tell stories. When the hour came, he took the jar and went to sleep.

This time to collect the bottle is also the time when Zhao Wu'an bids farewell to his home and returns to the inn.

Most of the nights, he bowed and left, and no one kept him, but once, when An Xingguo talked about the Biansai campaign, it seemed to evoke An Guangmao's memories, and he drank for a while.

After Annan took away the cups used by the four of them, An Guangmao still pulled Zhao Wuan's sleeve and didn't let him leave.

The stars and moon were colorful, and the elderly Tihar seemed to be a little drunk, his face was flushed, and his eyes were faintly bright.

The liquor entered his throat, An Guangmao was provoked to cough, and it was easy to stop, before he said hoarsely: "Zhao Jushi, my daughter is not talented, I will hand it over to you in the future......"

The wind blew through the courtyard, the leaves rustled, and he seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he finally fell silent. Turning his head, the corners of his eyes were moisturized.

Zhao Wu'an was silent for a long time, and resolutely whispered: "I am determined to do my best to protect Qing'er for the rest of my life." ”

An Guangmao lowered his head, didn't speak, and didn't know whether he was crying or laughing. After a while, Wuzi let go of the hand that was tugging at Zhao Wu'an's sleeve.

Zhao Wu'an stood still in the courtyard for a while. An Guangmao waved his hand and said, "Let's go." Tomorrow is the day of marriage, change into good clothes. ”

Zhao Wu'an was silent for a long time, nodded, and said goodbye.

Following the path that he had been very familiar with for a few days, Zhao Wu'an returned to the inn.

The inn was still as safe as if it had fallen asleep. In the lobby on the first floor, in addition to the water stove spitting red letters, only a lamp was still on in the account room.

Zhao Wu'an thought for a while, walked to the counter, knocked on the table, and the account office looked up in surprise.

For many days, Zhao Wu'an returned to the inn at this point every day, and the account room was not surprised. Most of the neighbors also spread that there was a foreigner who wanted to marry the daughter of the An family, and most of them were the white-clothed layman in front of him.

It's just that the layman who usually goes straight to the backyard room, how did he come to his platform today, which made the account room a little surprised.

Under the jumping of the lights, Zhao Wu'an's white face showed a thoughtful look. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Is there any wine?"

The bookkeeper nodded stunned. "Zhu Yeqing, daughter Hong, all of them. Which one do you want?"

"Female ...... No, bamboo leaf green. Zhao Wu'an took out a few coins of broken silver from his purse, "Come to two altars, ask for the smallest altar." ”

......

He went upstairs with two jugs of wine in his hand and knocked on the door. The look on Hu Buxi's face, who came to answer the door, was very unexpected by Zhao Wu'an.

Hu Buxi's face was full of astonishment: "Boss, did you eat the wrong thing?"

Zhao Wu'an quietly probed in and caught a glimpse of Duan Taoli huddled on the bed, sleeping deeply.

So he shook the wine jar in his hand at Hu Buxi, "Do you want to go on the roof?"

The roof of a small town inn is, of course, a piece of cake for two recognized first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

It wasn't until he climbed onto the roof, sat two feet apart from each other, and watched Zhao Wu'an pat open the mud seal with his own eyes, that Hu Buxi realized that Zhao Wu'an was not joking.

In addition to being surprised, Hu Buxi also had a little bit of a laugh, "Boss, you haven't touched the wine of the Central Plains for many years." ”

"Ten years, fifteen years?" Zhao Wu'an himself was not sure, "In Yezhu and Miaojiang, they have been poured a few cups, and they vomit when they drink it." ”

"That's nature. The wine in a small place is mixed with many things, and it has long lost its original taste, how can it be compared with the aroma of wine in the Central Plains. Hu Buxi raised his head and poured a large sip of clear wine, and exhaled fiercely.

"Good wine! My old Hu actually has one day, I can drink the wine invited by the boss, and I still drink it with the boss!" Hu Buxi laughed, "Even if it is inferior bamboo leaf green, I will drink it happily!"

Zhao Wu'an craned his neck, faced the mouth of the altar, and carefully gulped a sip.

The spicy liquor poured into my throat, and although it hurt a little, it didn't get to the point where I couldn't drink it. Zhao Wu'an frowned and swallowed a whole sip of wine.

"Let me guess. Hu Buxi smiled and said, "I'm going to marry An Wazi tomorrow, and the boss's heart is also very complicated, right?"

"Hmm. Zhao Wu'an replied vaguely, "Although I am from the rivers and lakes, she still has a family after all." The passing scene that should be taken really can't be left behind. ”

"The boss is a good man. Hu Buxi nodded solemnly and said, "An Wazi is indeed lucky." Following the boss, I don't like it, and I really haven't regretted it. ”

"Have you really never regretted it?" Zhao Wu'an suddenly asked.

Hu Buxi narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Boss, what are you talking about!"

Zhao Wu'an lowered his head, didn't say anything, continued to raise his head, and poured a spicy sip of bamboo leaf green.

Hu Buxi said angrily: "Where the boss goes, I will go wherever Hu Buxi goes, and I will charge for you in this life." Even if it is death, I don't like to die in front of the boss, even if it is just one step forward. ”

Zhao Wu'an joked: "In Bianliang City, I almost died in the army. ”

Hu Buxi touched his head and sighed in annoyance. "If I hadn't been injured at that time......

Zhao Wu'an laughed, and laughter resounded in the sky.

————————

Zhao Wu'an left, and the courtyard fell silent for a while. An Guangmao pressed his head with both hands and brushed his hair.

The sand of the camphor trees overhead.

Annan stood silently beside him.

"Fetch the axe. He staggered to his feet.

"Daddy......" Annan stretched out his hand, but was stopped by An Guangmao.

"Fetch my axe. ”

An Guangmao rubbed his sour eyes, straightened up, and looked at the tree in the courtyard.
