Chapter 18: The Thrush
The night is deep, and the moon is in the sky. The white clouds in the sky flow, and the years passed like white horses. Zhao Yun and I walked very slowly, and Gongsun Chan was still unconscious, but there was no major problem, but he still couldn't ride fast. He was alone on Zhao Yun's white horse, and Zhao Yun rode with me.
She exhaled like a blue and seemed to be asleep behind me. It was the first time I was held from behind by a woman, and not only did I not feel impatient in my heart, but for some reason, I felt a kind of sweetness flowing in my heart.
I also know how long I walked, and finally saw Beiping City. We asked the guards of the city to find out the whereabouts of the general's mansion, so we didn't stop all the way, sent Gongsun Chan to the door, and then rode away.
At that time the East was already white, and the rooster was crowing. We got out of town, and the two of us stopped and went, and we weren't busy along the way. On this day, I finally arrived at the boundary of Jizhou, and it was only half a day's journey from Changshan. Zhao Yun took advantage of the lunch to go to the restaurant to eat, changed into a daughter's clothes, and changed from a handsome young white-robed general to a little sister next door.
I don't know if it's because I'm familiar with me, or if it's close to my hometown, and my smile is more. Along the way, I was introduced to a lot of people and customs, and I felt less bored.
Finally arrived at Zhao Village, the village was full of strangers, chickens and dogs smelled each other. Zhao Yun's house was at the end of the village, and when he pushed the door in, Zhao Yun's parents were cooking in the firewood room, steaming.
"Dad, mother, Yun'er is back. Zhao Yun sobbed and fell to his knees.
"Is it really Yun'er?" Father Yun looked at Zhao Yun with the light and said, "Hurry up!"
The three of them hugged their heads and cried with joy. I watched the sweet potatoes roasted in the pot, and I couldn't help but move my index finger and swallow hard.
"Who is this?" said Mica, who seemed to notice me.
"Ao, this is Duan Dahu, a famous young chivalrous man on the rivers and lakes. Zhao Yundao.
Only then did I clench my fists and say, "Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Duan Dahu, and I am a friend of Zhao Yun." ”
"Alright, alright, come in and sit. "Mica, very happy, took my hand and looked at it, but I looked at it for a long time, and it seemed that it was very ordinary except for the big knife behind me.
Hot roasted sweet potatoes and corn hazelnuts were served, and I was indeed hungry all the way, so I ate several large bowls in a row, and the more the mica seemed to look at me, the happier she became, and kept urging me to eat more. Over there, Zhao Yun just talked about her experience as a teacher over the years, and I only learned at this time that she had studied under Zuo Ci and was Zuo Ci's closed disciple.
After saying this, he talked about the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army, which trapped the people in dire straits. Yun's father is very resentful, and has been teaching Zhao Yun to serve his family and country, the country is in trouble, and the husband has the responsibility to protect the family and defend the country.
"Xiaohu, how old are you this year?"
"Auntie, I'm eighteen years old. ”
"Eighteen, really young and promising. Xiaohu, where is your home?"
"I'm from Chang'an. ”
"Chang'an is good, where the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is. Xiaohu, do you have a marriage match?"
"There is no marriage yet. "I just ate a sweet potato and I'm choking.
"That would be great. Xiaohu, what do you think of our Xiaoyun?"
"Very good, the martial arts are very powerful. ”
"I mean, you don't like the character and appearance?"
"Except for the fact that I don't like to talk much, the rest is fine. I squinted at Zhao Yun, she lowered her head and blushed, and she didn't speak.
"Our Xiaoyun, everything is good, but when I was a child, I was raised as a boy, and my name was like a man, and I didn't look like a girl at all, I'm really afraid that she won't be able to get married......" Yun's father sighed.
"I think it's okay, why don't we do this family business in the next few days?" Mica suggested.
"Ahh
"Oh, why are you still ashamed of this little tiger?"
I looked up at Zhao Yun, who lowered her head. Could it be that I'm going to marry Zhao Yun? My mind is a mess, this ...... Not historical?
※※※
After dinner, I pulled Zhao Yun into the grove, some words were not explained, and my heart had to jump out.
"I'm a straight person, what do you want to do if you have something to say?" I was furious.
"Brother Duan, now that it's over, you're here. "Zhao Yun seems to be rectifying, as if I am at a loss.
"You...... You can't force Liang to become a prostitute?"
"What, you're not happy?"
"You didn't say that when you came!"
"I said, with your guts, do you dare to come?"
"You...... Do I have to marry?"
"You have to marry!"
My scalp tingled: "How can a marriage event be so casual?"
"It's not casual at all. The master decided that I was going to get married this year, and I was about to go to the army, so for the sake of my parents' peace of mind, I must also get married. ”
"Then why me?" I couldn't argue with her reasoning.
"Because you just hit the door......"
I thought to myself that day, the Axe Gang of the bandits just happened to hit the door.
"You want to marry me...... No, if you want me to marry you, you have to ask me about the big knife in my hand first. "My master said that when you encounter something that can't be solved, you have to rely on a knife to solve it.
"The little woman is better than respectful. Zhao Yun bowed.
Suddenly, I felt a flash of light in front of me, but I didn't expect her to say that she would do it. I hurriedly stepped back, drawing my broadsword to concentrate on the battle. Zhao Yun held the sword in his hand, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Brother Duan, then your subordinates have mercy." ”
How can I show mercy in such an emergency?
I roared, picked up my broadsword, and fought her. I expected that my sword skills were calm, she was a woman after all, and her strength was always inferior to mine, and sure enough, she didn't touch my sword. But she was so skillful that she flickered in front of me and left and right like a spirit butterfly, often striking at me at impossible angles. I knew that I was not as dexterous as her, and I would definitely suffer if I wandered with her, so I guarded the door and handed over a knife when I saw the opportunity.
But this Zhao Yun's swordsmanship is very good, there is no routine for the moves, the most important thing is the angle and trend of the first sword, she has a sword, it seems to be endless, and then dozens of moves and hundreds of moves are all in accordance with this sword, there is no stagnation, but it feels natural, light and fluttering as if it is completely effortless. In the midst of the fight, I saw that her body suddenly froze, as if she was stepping on a branch under her feet, and her waist was exposed. "Good opportunity!" I shouted, a move "instant decision", slashing at her flaw, seeing that Zhao Yun had nothing to dodge, but saw her stretch out her sword on the back of my knife, and the person swept up like a flying swallow, and for a while the door above my head was wide open, but I felt that there were thousands of sword flowers on my head, and I couldn't dodge. It turned out that she just deliberately sold me a flaw, but let me be fooled.
Seeing that the sword was about to burrow a hole in my great skull, I had no choice but to throw up the sword and admit defeat. Zhao Yun spun around, his posture was wonderful, and he fell to the ground.
"Brother Duan, I agreed. Zhao Yun bowed.
"Well, I'm not your opponent, I just married you. ”
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "I have already let you follow, this set of "Tianshan Glacier Washing Sword Record" swordsmanship, there are not many people in the world who can resist it, and in the future, you will say that I can't bully you?"
Three days later, the Zhao family invited the squire to attend my wedding with Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was wearing red makeup and a red hijab, while I was wearing a red flower on my chest and dressed up with oily hair and powder. It is simple to become a parent in the village, first to meet the patriarch and villagers, and then to go to the ancestral hall to witness, which is decided.
Zhao Yun and I were looking for each other, and I didn't know what to do, but I only heard the patriarch sing:
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second goodbye to parents!"
"Three goodbyes, folks!"
I have never had any experience with the women's church, just like a big girl, I squirmed, and Zhao Yun visited the church in a daze, and toasted with the villagers one by one, I can't drink enough, but the Baogu wine brewed in Zhaocun is a huge aftertaste, comparable to "fairy drunk", I am actually stumbling.
At this moment, my heart is also happy. Although the worship link was muddy, I thought in my heart that this time I finally had the lintel of the gate, married Zhao Yun, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and gave birth to a Xiaoquan Zhenjiao when the time came, and I did not live up to the great trust of the master when he went down the mountain.
It wasn't until late at night that I returned to the cave room after sending my father and fellow villagers, only to see that on the bed, Zhao Yun's red hijab had not been lifted, so I smirked a few times and went to uncover the red hijab. The candlelight swayed, Zhao Yun's cheeks were red, and he was incomprehensibly bright.
"Lady, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, let's ......" I smiled lewdly, and was about to say, "Let's sleep together", when I suddenly saw Zhao Yun holding a sword in his hand, I was so scared that I couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Lady, your eyebrows are a little lighter, I'll paint your thrush. I said softly.
In the cave room, I held a bronze mirror in my left hand and an eyebrow pencil in my right hand, and meticulously drew her eyebrows.
