Chapter 129: Xia Peony
Feng County.
Autumn is already strong, and the leaves are falling.
Xia Mansion was confiscated, Lord Xia fell, those who used to be brothers and sisters with Lord Xia, flattery, like hiding from the plague god, hiding from people related to Xia Mansion, for fear that this kind of connection would be implicated, the unaccompanied Miss Xia Peony, and his son with Xiong Fei, Xiong Qiang, can only go away when there is no way out.
Xiao Xiongqiang and Xia Furong trekked for nearly a month, aimlessly, all the way to Feng County by begging.
Feng County is a good county seat, with a prosperous population and a prosperous economy.
Although it is only a little more than a month, Xia Furong has experienced the vicissitudes of the world, and has seen the hot and cold world, in this environment, although her face is still cold, but the care for Xiao Xiong Qiang is more.
Although Xiong Qiang was only eight years old at that time, he could see the changes in his mother, and he knew that although his mother Furong still didn't talk much to him, he could feel the love from his mother from her actions.
Vaguely, he could remember that when he was sleeping in the middle of the night, his mother quietly held himself in her arms, would take off her coat, cover her body, and then look at herself, her eyes were hazy, but when she found out, her mother quickly wiped away her tears, looked at herself with an indifferent face, and said, "Sleep!"
The bitterness of begging along the way, Xiao Xiongqiang doesn't remember it very much, because his mother held up the sky for him, he was hungry, but he was not like his mother, he was so hungry that he fainted, he also suffered from cold, but he was not like his mother, so cold that his whole body was so cold that his lips were black.
Although Fleur still didn't have too much to say to him, he still looked indifferent, but he knew how much bitterness should be hidden in her heart behind his mother's indifference, and it was his mother who used her weak hands to cover all the wind and rain for herself.
Along the way, Xiao Xiongqiang doesn't remember how many times his mother told him coldly not to run around and then went out alone, but he clearly remembered that every time he came back, his mother's face came back with red and swollen slap prints, but what appeared in front of him with those slap prints was a few big white-flour steamed buns or a few fragrant scallion oil flatbreads.
At that time, he was still excitedly asking where these things came from.
When she was at home, her mother was a cold fairy who could often spend a long time alone in front of the peony pond, but after that period of time, she became a beggar with fluffy hair and dirty face, and worried about a mouthful of food every day.
The nobility of the past is gone, leaving only that weather-beaten face and a scarred body.
Her appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes, and her state of mind has also undergone earth-shaking changes, but the change in her state of mind, she endured it and did not show it in front of Xiao Xiongqiang.
But after arriving in Feng County, the hard-working mother and son finally met a nobleman.
It was a man with a dignified figure, and he was also a chivalrous man with a very chivalrous spirit, because he was the hall master of the extremely famous Perak Hall in the rivers and lakes, He Chong.
He Hall Master was polite and chivalrous, and when he saw a young woman who was already staggering and tired, pulling a child who was only seven or eight years old, and almost fainted in front of the Perak Hall, he was moved by compassion.
"Come, help this lady and child into the house!" his voice was as majestic as his own.
Xiong Qiang remembered that during the days in Perak Hall, he ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas that he had been absent for a long time every day, and he no longer wore those tattered clothes, and his mother, under the careful care of Master He, also changed the image of a beggar in the past, and once again returned to the appearance of Miss Xiafu, who was as glamorous as a peach and plum that day.
originally thought that the mother and son who had gone through the ups and downs had really met a nobleman, but they didn't expect that He Chong, who had always been polite and polite, was fierce that night, after getting drunk, he was no longer elegant, no longer gentle, but showed his real hideous face.
That night, Xia Furong was patting Xiong Qiang in her arms to sleep, just when Xiong Qiang was sleepy, the closed door was suddenly pushed open by brutality, and the drunken He Hall Master held the wine jar in his hand, drunk and confused, and his originally elegant face was rarely revealed.
"Sister Fleur, do you know? Ever since I met you on the first day, I knew you were a beautiful woman. After saying that, he staggered over drunkenly, closed the door, sat down at the table in the room, still pretending to be elegant and sniffed the wine in the wine jar, looking extremely intoxicated.
Xia Peony stood up suddenly, her long eyebrows as thin as willow leaves frowned, she already knew He Chong's intention, although she was frightened, but her face was calm, and said: "Master He, the little woman is in trouble, thanks to the rescue of the hall master, the kindness of the little girl, the little girl and the mother will always be remembered in the five, he will be an adult, and he will be the master of the hall." The master of the hall is the master of the Thunderbolt Hall, a righteous warrior of the martial arts, and he should respect himself between his words!"
Hibiscus willow eyebrows upside down, originally an iceberg beauty, at this moment, this kind of style, is even more sultry, He Chong asked himself to see countless beauties, but like Hibiscus, a woman with a lonely temperament, but he has never seen it, he has coveted Hibiscus beauty for a long time, at this moment, it is wine and gall, where can he listen to Furong's words?
At that moment, he immediately threw away the wine jar in his hand, and Yin smiled: "Sister Furong, why don't you ask for the future, just believe in the present, a woman with such charm as Sister Furong, I don't want Ling Lang to repay him in the future, I just want to be able to share the bed with my sister now, and have fun in bed!"
Xia Furong was already terrified to the extreme, she never expected He Chong to be so shameless, she had already expected the next scene.
She took two steps back in fear, and suddenly touched a cold object on the head of the bed, which she knew was the embroidery scissors used by the female worker, and immediately held the scissors in her hand.
At this time, He Chong's words have already reached this point, where is there still the face of a chivalrous person who is half a star that day? Looking at Xia Furong's beautiful face and graceful posture, the evil fire in her heart has long been uncontrollable, and she immediately lost the wine jar and pounced like a hungry wolf.
"He Chong, I can't imagine that you, as the master of the Thunderbolt Hall and a martial arts chivalrous Taoist, are so well-dressed beasts, and my Furong is already a married woman, how can you be allowed to be trampled by this animal?" Xia Furong said coldly, seeing that He Chong had already pounced, the embroidery scissors in his hand had been raised, and the willow eyebrows were upside down, stabbing towards He Chong's head.
Not to mention that He Chong's martial arts are strong, just to say that he is a man, his strength is much greater than Xia Furong, at this time, seeing Xia Furong's scissors piercing, he is hehe yin smiled, raised his hand and held Xia Furong's wrist, with a slight force, wanting to snatch the scissors from Xia Furong's hand, but at this time, the little bear Qiang who stayed on the side was blind, sat up, opened his mouth and bit He Chong's arm fiercely.
He Chonghun didn't expect a seven or eight-year-old child to make such a move, and his arm hurt, so he immediately let go of Xia Furong, and slapped his face fiercely on Xiao Xiongqiang's chest.
That palm He Chong almost used up his strength, and with one palm, Xiao Xiongqiang was almost desperate. Xia Furong was also angry in her heart, and the scissors in her hand stabbed towards He Chong's chest.
Immediately, blood flowed down from He Chong's chest, and the severe pain suppressed the evil fire in He Chong's heart, and with a backhand slap, it was slapped Xia Furong's face. He covered his bleeding chest with his left hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Stinky **, don't be ashamed of your face, you want to be high! Okay, I will make your life worse than death!"
"Get out!" Xia Furong ignored He Chong's threat and said with a cold face.
Xia Furong's face immediately swelled, but she didn't speak, she just stared at He Chong with those hateful eyes, and glanced at the little Xiong Qiang, who was free of breath, and the eyes were already misty, she gently hugged Xiong Qiang, with a rare gentle and loving look in her eyes, and said softly: "Feifei, does it hurt?"
Xiao Xiongqiang struggled twice, this was the first time he saw such a gentle look in his mother's eyes, this glimmer of gaze made him temporarily forget the pain in his body, he pursed his mouth, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and said: "Mother, you are like this now, you are so beautiful......"
After speaking, Xiao Xiongqiang's mouth couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood again. The little face was as white as paper, his breath was turbid, his brows were tightly twisted, and he looked very painful.
"Feifei, hold on, you haven't seen your father yet, my mother will take you to your father!" When she said this, the tears in Xia Furong's eyes finally flooded uncontrollably.
"My father?" Xiong Qiang's voice was very small, and a layer of fog had formed in his eyes.
