Chapter 37 (35)
Zasaktu's brain gradually came to his senses, and when he saw her hair accessories and clothes, he suddenly felt something different. He was also trained in the battle formation for a long time, and as soon as he realized it, he immediately took out a antler dagger from his arms, put it into Chu Anlin's heart, and shouted coldly: "What, you are a Han Chinese? What do you mean by selling me a good thing with false affection? Do you think I will fall for you? You are in the same group as those Ziming soldiers, aren't you?" By the last sentence, his voice was already full of expression, and his previous dying demeanor was swept away.
Chu Anlin was not afraid, or because she had never been in the world and did not know people's hearts and was unpredictable, she only said at the moment: "Yes, I am indeed from the Central Plains, but what is the difference between us? It is clear that there is no injustice and no hatred, why do you have to be your mortal enemies when you meet, just because of their respective identities? Why, don't you like the Central Plains? It is also a very beautiful place, if you are lucky enough to go over there to have a look and take a walk, I think, you will change your opinion." ”
Zasaktu said sharply: "Don't be pretentious! You think I'll be fooled by your disguised appearance? Aren't you here to kill me?"
Chu Anlin said softly: "You still have injuries on your body, you should rest well, how can you lose your temper so much? If I want to kill you, why should I treat you?"
Zasaktu snorted coldly, and in her clear eyes, most of them already believed her, but they still said with a strong voice: "Who knows what your group of barbarians have in mind? I heard that the people of the Central Plains are despicable, hypocritical and cunning...... Yes, I see, you want to heal my wounds first, and then sacrifice me as a prisoner to your emperor, so that you can force my uncle to surrender, don't you? ”
Chu Anlin heard him say cruelly, her heart swept a little sympathy, a little soft, and said, "That's really pitiful, but what you said ...... Capture or anything, but I have no intention of doing so. Maybe I'm much luckier than you, I live in a comfortable environment, and the people around me are very spoiled and love me, and if I disappear, they must be in a hurry......"
At this time, thinking of the lost senior brother, he said "ah" and said, "I'm afraid that they think that something happened to me." Alas, it would be better to find them as soon as possible. ”
Zasaktu said in his heart: "This little girl is simple, and the people who travel with her will not be so stupid. If they found me, they would either cut me down on the spot or take me prisoner. ”
At this moment, there are two choices, one is to kill her immediately with a dagger, and the other is to persuade her with good words. Originally, the first one was really once and for all, but at this time, he was really attracted to An Lin, and he couldn't do it, but he was even more eager to have a good relationship with her.
It's not that he hasn't been in contact with young women, but when he saw An Lin this time, the throbbing in his heart was unprecedented. So he reluctantly smiled, removed the dagger, and said, "I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you." Why, it didn't scare you, did it?" he pulled her to sit down beside her. Said: "I used to be too one-sided, and it seems that among the Han people, there are not all villains. ”
At that time, Zasaktu's face was handsome, and there was a domineering spirit between his eyebrows. Between talking and laughing, it seems that a ray of sunshine seeps into the ruthlessness, which makes people feel very precious.
Chu Anlin had never seen such a man with a bit of evil spirit, her heartbeat was faintly accelerating, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, I don't understand, why do the Manchus and Han have to fight? Why don't you go back and persuade your father, okay?"
Zasaktu doesn't have any ill feelings about it. Jianzhou is a remote place, and every year it is necessary to have a fixed season, send envoys to the capital to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and suffer oppression. If you can establish a sovereignty from this war, then you will no longer have to cower and cling to others. What's more, what my uncle said, that is, it is an absolute order, and no one can resist. Everyone fights in the main battle, and if he suddenly emerges as a peacemaker, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a traitor to the entire tribe.
Therefore, there was nothing feasible for An Lin's proposal, but to persuade her to be more appropriate, pretending to be deeply harmed, and said pitifully: "Yes, my Manchuria is indeed sincere in negotiating peace, but the Ming Dynasty deceived people too much." There is a huge area of territory in the Central Plains, but he still has an undead heart for the Northeast thieves, and he is planning to break through the Shanhai Pass in order to occupy Liaodong together. Naturally, we are not convinced, so we have to rise up and resist. It is said that in the Han art of war, there is a trick that says, 'Expect the enemy to be the first to fight', the enemy wants to kill us, we can't sit still, only to strike first, kill them, but the lowest luxury for self-preservation. But that group of high-sounding Han elders will never tell you the truth. Therefore, you only know how ferocious the Jin soldiers were, but you never thought about how menacing the Ming army was when they collected taxes and tributes? Could it be that it is also a mistake to want to survive?"
The two concepts in Chu Anlin's mind collided fiercely, on one side were the old thoughts that had been listened to for many years, which were also often taught by the master. On the other hand, there is a suspicion of sticking to justice, which seems to be pitifully fragile, and even he doesn't know which side to listen to. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the calf, and there was a sudden convulsion, and the pain was so painful.
She was not a delicate woman who easily screamed pain, but at this time, somehow, even in front of Meng Anying, she had never felt a sense of longing to be cared for. Reluctantly moved her calf, only to remember that she found this cave in order to bandage and recuperate, but when she met Zasaktu, she forgot about it. The five fingers were gently clasped and tapped lightly on the outside of the calf, and the sensation was completely lost, and a panic rose in my heart, fearing that I would be crippled from now on.
Zasaktu noticed her expression and said, "Girl, I am offended." While pinching a few places on her legs, Chu Anlin's face was flushed with shame, so hot that she couldn't even stand it, and felt her heart almost jump out of her chest. At this time, the biggest concern is not whether the injury will heal, but whether the sound of his heartbeat will make him hear it clearly. This time seems to be extremely long, but when it really stops, I am a little reluctant, and I miss the feeling I have never experienced just now.
Zasaktu said: "As far as I can see, I am afraid that this leg has been broken when you fell off the cliff, and then after running around and working hard, the injury was even more serious...... Chu Anlin was startled, and without waiting for him to analyze carefully, he asked urgently: "How is that good......?" Will it be lame?"
Zasaktu looked very cute when he saw her panicked. No matter how shocking the murderous aura was, he also pressed it down in front of her, smiled faintly, and said, "It's not crippled." I've learned some ways to treat bruises, if the girl doesn't mind, I'll show you, how about it?" Chu Anlin didn't dare to refuse, and nodded with a red face. His fingers pinched the corners of his clothes, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on his knees, and a few soft strands of hair floated to Zasaktu's face.
Zasaktu looked at her bare calves, white as jade, and couldn't help but feel excited. "It may be a little painful when you graft the bones, so you have to endure it." Her lips were close to her eyes, and she felt that there was a burst of fragrance from her body, and she was fascinated. The two of them were each immersed in a soft realm, and their faces were flushed. finally picked up the broken leg bone for her, and she was already sweating profusely, just like doing an extremely difficult exercise.
Chu Anlin buried her head and neck deeply, and whispered out two words "thank you" from her throat. It wasn't much louder than a mosquito humming, but she knew that Zasaktu must have heard it.
It was winter, the snow covered the mountain, and both of them were injured, so they couldn't advance or retreat for a while, so they had to stay in the cave for a few more days. At nightfall, the two brought firewood, lit a small fire, and gathered around to make a fire. The distance between the two inadvertently slowly approached, as if only in this way could they make themselves warmer.
Chu Anlin is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and she is not as rigid as ordinary ladies, and she is too close to Zasaktu, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. Zasaktu couldn't ask for it, and the two chatted all the way, and the topic gradually changed from heavy to relaxed, only to find that the other party was very talkative. And regardless of political opinions, there are still many similarities.
Since his childhood, Zasaktu has only practiced martial arts every day, and has never talked to anyone, let alone regarded him as an equal partner. Chu Anlin is the first time she has met such a confidant, and she can be defenseless and tell him some extremely obscure little secrets in her heart.
When they were with Meng Anying, the two of them were under the Huashan Gate together, looking up and not looking down, if they said something wrong, they would be embarrassed to get along in the future. Or he dared to open his heart so much knowing that it would be difficult to see Zasaktu in the future. It is precisely because of this that Zasaktu's feelings for her have deepened, and they have not only stopped at the initial ignorance.
A few days later, the injuries of the two were almost better, and the snow gradually decreased, Chu Anlin's morality and sense of responsibility came out again, and she was eager to join her senior brother as soon as possible, so as not to worry too much.
Zasaktu wanted to snuggle up in the cave with her for the rest of his life, but his worries were even more far-reaching, and when he was leaving, he said: "An Lin, you wait, when I and my uncle and they conquer the Central Plains and become the supreme lord of the world, I will definitely come to marry you and give you the most beautiful wedding ceremony." Wouldn't it be nice to have you and me share all the glory and wealth and great rivers and mountains in the future?"
Chu Anlin shook her head and said, "No...... No, I've already made a promise. If you really do it for my good, don't be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty anymore, and you will be tired of all the lives in the world. In her heart, after all, she still regards Meng Anying as her real husband.
Zasaktu said in his heart: "As long as you can sit on the country, what is it to die?" At this time, his mentality has changed greatly, from the initial disdain for the war, until he really has the same will as his father and uncle, and can't wait to take the Central Plains. On the surface, he replied a few words in a casual manner, and then advised: "After you go back, you have seen me here, and we have become friends, don't tell your master and senior brother, remember?"
Chu Anlin blinked her eyes wide, and said timidly: "That...... Why is that? My master and they are all very open-minded, and they don't have the common problems of Ming Dynasty officials. I think that he will not hurt you when he hears about your situation, and maybe, he will try to reconcile ......."
"I'm not worried about my own safety. This matter cannot be explained in a few words. In the eyes of the Han people, I am one of the most heinous Manchurians, and if any one of your faction harbors two hearts and instigates in them, you must know that people's hearts are the most impetuous and fickle, and when the time comes, they will regard you as a traitor and expel you from Huashan, what should we do? Or perhaps, they will want to use you to deal with me through your friendship, will you disobey the master's orders for me, or will you obey the master and come to kill me? I don't want to teach you to be in a dilemma, so let's keep our affairs a secret for the time being. ”
Chu Anlin thought about it, and it was really difficult to face that kind of scene, and responded: "Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me." "A Tartar is a Tartar after all, how can he really keep his promise? An Lin's promise is a deep hidden danger for future disasters!"
