I should have sent someone to Tianxiangfang to inquire about the whereabouts of Yi Zhixie and the others, but I, who was always cautious in Chang'an City, did not do what I should have done.
I just tried to go out as little as possible and stayed in the garden every day practicing playing the flute or playing with others.
The girls were laughing and killing time.
Am I deliberately ignoring and forgetting?
It turns out that after so many years, I still dare not face it.
There is a feeling in my heart, and I just play a tune repeatedly, "There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and I am happy, you know, don't you know?"
Do you know, do you know, you don't know?
Old sorrows add new sorrows, and my heart becomes more and more hesitant.
A voice outside the window said: "I didn't want to disturb you.
I was waiting for you to finish playing the song, but why is it endless?"
He said and knocked on the door a few times.
I put down the flute and said, "The door is not bolted, please come in."
Huo Qubing pushed open the door and entered, picked up the flute on the table and played with it, "What you were playing just now sounds familiar, but I really can't remember what it is."
Fortunately, you never pay attention to these things.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took the flute and put it back in the box.
"What do you want from me?"
He looked at me carefully, "come to see how you are doing."
I smiled cheerfully. , "I'm fine."
He asked with a smile: "It's fine to hide in the house all day and not go out."
I looked down at the table, "I'm happy not to go out."
He suddenly put his head in front of me, looked at me with his eyes for a moment and asked: "Are the books you asked me for for Li Yan?"
He changed the topic so quickly that I was stunned for a while before I realized what he was pointing at.
He looked at those books, turned his body slightly, turned his head, and said "yes" lightly.
He whispered in my ear and asked: "Have you seen it?"
The warm breath blew in my ear, and half of my face was hot.
I panicked and suddenly stretched out my hand to push him away.
He rested his head on his hands and looked at me with a smile.
I felt uncomfortable all over because of his stare, so I jumped up from the couch and said, "I have to go do something, so you should leave quickly."
He stood up lazily and sighed: "A woman's face changes faster than the weather in the desert.
The sky was clear just a moment ago, and the sky is filled with dust in an instant."
I opened the door without saying a word, stared at him, and motioned for him to leave quickly.
He walked past me with a straight face and a cold expression.
I was about to close the door, but he turned around and said calmly: "You The cold face made people feel more itchy."
I gave him a hard look and slammed the door.
Still thinking about Huo Qubing angrily, there were a few more soft knocks at the door.
I scolded helplessly: "Why are you back again?"
Honggu asked in confusion: "Where else can I go if I don't come back?"
I hurriedly smiled and opened the door, "I was confused by the popularity.
The anger just now was not directed at you."
Hong Gu laughed: "It's good to be angry.
You have been languid for two or three days, but you look more energetic today. , Follow me for a walk in the garden.
As we walk, we talk about how disappointing it would be to sit in the house in such a beautiful weather. " I suddenly realized that when Huo Qubing made trouble, I was just busy getting angry, and most of the sadness that had accumulated for several days was gone.
Did he do it on purpose?
Aunt Hong saw me standing at the door in a daze, she smiled and took my hand, and walked out, "Stop thinking nonsense, think about something serious.
I did some calculations yesterday, and I think I can buy another garden with the remaining money.

Yours "What do you mean, I'm going to do it."
Honggu and I were walking in the garden while discussing the business of the song and dance studio.
"Mr.
Chen, please don't do this.
Didn't I agree that I would only accompany you for a walk?"
Qiuxiang struggled and begged, but the man who was about to hug her ignored her and continued to move his hands up and down.
Hong Gu and I looked at each other, both a little angry.
What did we think of our song and dance hall?
Now even the most despicable and scoundrel dignitaries in Chang'an City have to restrain themselves a bit when they come to Luoyufang.
Today, they bumped into each other and were stunned.
Honggu said with a sweet smile: "You can see birds fighting when you go out for a walk.
The relationship between a man and a woman is interesting only when you ask and I want.
If you really like Qiuxiang, you should spend some effort to impress her.
Let her happily follow the young master, which will make him appear elegant and elegant."
The man let go of Qiuxiang and turned back with a smile: "It's interesting, but I think it's interesting if you don't do it reluctantly."
When our eyes met, his smile froze, my heart froze, and he turned around and left, he yelled :"stop" I turned a deaf ear and moved forward hurriedly.
He jumped up to catch up with me and stretched out his hand to pull me.
I waved her away and ran away quickly without caring about avoidance.
He shouted behind me in Hun dialect: " Sister Yujin, I know it's you, I know it's you."
As she spoke, her voice was already crying, and her daughter's tone was definitely evident.
I stopped, but still didn't look back.
She walked up behind me, sniffed, and whispered: "I'm the only one running out to play, the Shanyu is not here."
I turned to look at her, the two of us Everyone looked at each other carefully and said nothing for a long time.
Honggu glanced at us and left quickly with Qiuxiang.
"Why are you still so lawless in Chang'an City, and you even tease the girl?"
I asked with a smile.
Mudado suddenly hugged me and started crying, "They all said you were dead.
They all said you were dead.
I cried for a whole year.
Why did Yu Shan swear to heaven that you were dead before he died?"
I thought I was strong enough, but there were still a few tears in my eyes.
I bit my lips tightly to prevent them from falling, "Did you see Yu Shan before Yu Shan left?"
Mudado nodded while weeping: "Chanyu didn't believe you were dead at first.
He knew that we had been good friends since childhood, so he specifically asked me to ask about your whereabouts.
But Yushan told me personally that you were indeed dead.
He told me that you were indeed dead.
Your body was buried in the quicksand."
I took out the handkerchief and handed it to her, but for a long time I couldn't ask what happened after Yu Dan was captured.
"Sister, are you also selling songs and dances here?
How much money can I pay to redeem your life?"
Mudado said wiping tears.
"This garden belongs to me, and I am the owner here."
I looked at her and smiled warmly.
Mudado patted his head and laughed, "I'm so stupid.
Who in the world can make my sister do something she doesn't want to do?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Throw him one of our "itch nails" and it will tickle him to death."
My lips pursed slightly, but I didn't smile.
Mudado's smile disappeared immediately.
She was silent for a while and said, "Sister, Shan Yu did not kill Yu Shan.
Yu Shan died of illness on his own."
I sneered, "He died of illness, right?
Yu Shan played with us since childhood, is he in such bad health?
We tricked him into an icy lake in the middle of the winter.
We ourselves got cold and sick, but nothing happened to him
.
" "
Mudado hurriedly explained: "Sister, it's true.
If the Chanyu wants to kill Yushan, he can be killed when he is captured, but the Chanyu has given an order to capture him alive.
Otherwise, how could he chase a person for several days?
Ye, and you don’t know that Shanyu accidentally injured you when he was chasing you.
He was so angry that he turned pale.
I have never seen Shanyu so angry.
He was so scared that he chased you.
Thousands of our warriors are all kneeling on the ground, and Shanyu has always refused to believe that you will die.
He asked Yudan over and over again how you died, but Yudan told him vividly.
Shanyu searched the entire Western Region and could not find it.
You sent heavy troops at all the passes leading to the Han Dynasty, but no similar people were found.
Later, we believed Yu Shan's words. " I sneered and said: "I don't want to explore these anymore.
Even if Yu Shan died of illness, there was also my father and Yan.
Did they want to commit suicide?
Who caused these things?
Although he didn't kill them, they were because of it.
He died."
With tears in his eyes, Mudado shook his head again and again, "Sister, I don't understand why Tai Fu committed suicide at all.
Shan Yu has been persuading Tai Fu to stay and help him.
Even if Tai Fu refuses, he can still ask Shan Yu to let him go. , but why did he commit suicide?
I remember that when I just fell asleep, I suddenly heard screams outside.
I quickly put on my clothes and left the tent.
I heard everyone shouting that the late king Yan had committed suicide. again People were crying and saying that the Taifu had committed suicide.
Because I was thinking about my sister, I didn't bother to see Yan, so I ran crying all the way to see the Taifu, but I saw Shan Yu running over like a fly.
I guess Shan Yu had just fallen asleep. , even in a hurry He had no shoes on and was walking barefoot in the snow.
The moment he saw Taifu's body, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Everyone was frightened to death and urged him to rest, but he turned away with a pale face and shouted at them.
He stayed by Fu's body until dawn.
Sister, ever since Chanyu raised his army and established himself as Chanyu, I have always hated Chanyu and hated him for taking his position.
But that night, I saw Chanyu alone.
Sitting in the tent, it was snowing heavily outside the tent, and we all felt cold even with the brazier in the tent.
But Shanyu actually sat there until dawn wearing only a single coat, his body motionless, and there was no joy in his eyes.
However, it was all painful and miserable.
Although the weather was cold, his heart was probably even colder than the sky.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I secretly watched him outside all night, and suddenly I no longer hated him.
I felt that he must have his reasons for doing this, and I really I feel that he is more suitable to be our Chanyu than Yu Dan.
I have witnessed these things with my own eyes, and I definitely did not deceive my sister.
Shan Yu later ignored the opposition of all the important ministers and insisted on ordering the Taifu to be buried according to Han etiquette."
Huge pain gnawed at my heart.
I pressed my chest tightly and closed my eyes in pain.
When I heard the news that my father had passed away at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, it felt so painful, as if my heart was about to be eaten alive.
And that scene came back to my heart again.
After Yu Dan left me behind, I did not listen to my father's words and go to the Central Plains.
Instead, I hid among the wolves and tried my best to get close to my father.
With the help of the wolves, I successfully evaded repeated searches.
I thought I could see my dad secretly, or even take him to escape with me, but when I was about to see my dad, I heard the news that my dad was dead.
It had been snowing for three days and three nights, and the snow on the ground was up to my knees, but it was still snowing.
The sky is white, the earth is white, and everything between heaven and earth is pale.
Yu Shan died, the Yan family died, my father died, and the Yi Zhixie in my heart also died.
I cried and ran in the snow, but no one would appear again.
The tears on the face turned into ice, the skin cracked, and the blood soaked into the tears, forming bright red ice tears.
When I was twelve years old, I ran for a whole day in the snow.
Finally, I fell into the snow with all my strength.
Snowflakes flying all over the sky fell on my face and body.
I stared at it with wide eyes.
The sky is motionless, I have no strength, and I don't want to move anymore.
Snowflakes gradually cover my whole body.
I feel that everything is fine.
I will no longer have pain.
Just like this, let everything end in this clean white. , without a trace of bloody smell.
Brother Wolf roared to find me.
He used his claws to dig out the fallen snow bit by bit on my body, and wanted to drag me away with his mouth.
But he was still so young at the time and couldn't drag me away at all.
So he lay on my heart and used his mouth to drag me away.
His whole body protected me, and he kept using his tongue on my face and my hands, trying to spread warmth to me.
I let him go and told him that if the wolves didn't arrive in time, he would freeze to death in the snow, but he stubbornly guarded me.
Brother Wolf stared at me without blinking.
As soon as I wanted to close my eyes, he would try his best to fill me with his tongue.
His eyes looked nothing like my father's, but the meaning behind them was exactly the same, they both wanted me to live.
I remembered that I promised my father that I would survive no matter what I encountered, and I must live happily, because my father's only wish was for me to live.
I stared into Brother Wolf's dark eyes and said to Brother Wolf: "I was wrong.
I want to live.
I must live."
Fortunately, the wolves arrived in time and the snow stopped.
I was saved by the wolves.
They used their own bodies and the warm blood of their prey to restore feeling to my hands and feet.
I suddenly shouted: "Stop talking about Medado, for you this is just the past, but these are the scars in my heart.
They used to be bloody, but now they have finally become scarred and no longer bleed.
Why do you appear here?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In front of me, tear all the scars apart and go back.
If you still care about the friendship we have known since childhood, please act as if you have never seen me.
Yu Jin has not been around for a long time.
She is indeed dead.
She died in In the heavy snow that year.”
He flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
Mudado grabbed my sleeve tightly and murmured: "Sister, sister" Before leaving the Xiongnu, the four of me, Yudan, Rixi, and Mudado were the best friends.
Because of my father’s relationship, Yu Shan and I are a little closer than others.
Yu Dan, Rihui and I didn't like to take Mudaduo with us when we went out to play.
She didn't say a word, but her big eyes were always staring at us.
I teased her and said: "Call me sister and I will take you."
Go out and play."
She shook her head stubbornly and refused to call me, and said to me disdainfully: "You don't even know how old you are, maybe you are younger than me.
I want to call you sister."
But no matter where we go, she always follows us, and we can't get rid of her.
As time goes by, we get better, because we are the same stubborn, charming and playful.
Funnily enough, when I decided my age and asked Mudado to call me sister, she happily called me after thinking about it all night.
I was also wondering why she was so easy to talk to.
I found out from Yu Dan that she thought calling her sister would make me let her do everything in the future.
She could just call her if she felt like it.
My sister called me a few times and my heart softened.
I said softly, "I'm living a good life now.
I don't want to go back, and it's impossible to go back."
Mudado thought for a while and nodded, "I understand. , you don’t want to see Shanyu, I won’t tell Shanyu that I have seen you.”
I held her hand and said, "Thank you.
When will you go back?"
Mudado happily held her hand and said, "I will leave tomorrow, so everyone is very busy today and no one can take care of me, so I ran out to play by myself. ” I smiled and said, "I'll take you around and let the kitchen cook some unique Han dishes for you to eat, and that's goodbye."
Mudado asked in a seductive voice, "Will we meet again in the future?"
Looking back, the footsteps were clear step by step, but we could no longer find the way back.
I said bitterly: "I hope we won't see each other again.
It is absolutely impossible for Yi Zhixie and I to smile when we met, and you have already chosen him.
I’m afraid you’ll be in a dilemma if we meet again.”
Mudado's face immediately turned red, and he stared down at the ground in shame and shame.
What I originally meant was that she chose Yi Zhixie to be their Chanyu, but when I saw her face, I suddenly understood.
I couldn't explain what it felt like, so I asked lightly: "Have you become his concubine?"
Mudado shook his head and sighed softly, "The Chanyu is very good to me.
For this reason, the Yan family hates me.
Like this time when I came to the Han Dynasty, no one agreed to my coming, but I just wanted to come, and the Chanyu agreed. , Mr.
Yan made a big fuss over this matter, but I still don’t know what he is thinking, but if he is willing to make me his concubine, I will definitely do it."
She said and looked at me secretly with some shame.
One glance.
I laughed, and it turned out that she was indeed a Huns woman.
I like her as much as I like her, and I want to marry if I want to.
She never talks about her feelings, and she doesn’t feel ashamed.
"Don’t worry about me.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Although you are good with me, you want to marry me."
It's your own business to give it to Yi Zhixie.
I just hope that he and I won't actually meet one day."
Mudado looked at me with some fear, "Do you want to kill Shanyu?"
I shook my head and replied truthfully: "Not at the moment.
I thought about it very painfully and struggled in the past.
In the end, everything slowly calmed down.
It probably won't happen in the future either.
I just hope that we will never see each other again in this life.
Mudado, actually It's not whether I want to kill him or not, but whether he wants to kill me.
Once something is done, it must be done thoroughly, otherwise he will be afraid and worried, just like he would rather suffer and feel guilty after my father commits suicide than give it to me.
Dad has a way out."
Mudado's expression changed slightly, as if he understood something, but he did not want to admit it.
He still said stubbornly: "The Chanyu did not want you to die.
He did not give an order."
I smiled bitterly and said: "What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid that I will really kill him?
It's easy for him to kill me, but it's not easy for me to kill him.
He is the first warrior of the Huns and the Chanyu of the Huns Empire.
If I want to kill him, I will be the enemy of the entire Xiongnu Empire, so I can only live for this hatred in my life.
Dad only hopes that I can find a gift.
People of Shaoyao should protect their own happiness with wisdom instead of worrying about pain.
Mudado, even if Yi Zhixie and I really meet again one day, the possibility of my death is relatively high.
You don’t have to worry at all.
He.
I'm afraid that once he knows that I am still alive, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in Chang'an City."
With guilt in his eyes, Mudado said solemnly: "I will never tell anyone that you are still alive." －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ "The first day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Yuanshuo is the first day of the new year.
I don't know if I will always be happy this year, but I am very happy on the first day of the new year.
The silk I took off Xiaotao's legs on the 30th night Tiao made me happy all night.
Master Jiu invited me to play in Shifu at noon on the first day of the new year.
This is the first time you have asked me to visit you.
I wonder if there will be many firsts in the future, many."
He put the silk handkerchief into the bamboo box and looked carefully.
Unknowingly, there was already a small stack.
I don’t know when all the thoughts that went through these silk handkerchiefs hundreds of times will be told to him.
First I went to pay New Year's greetings to my grandfather and Shi Feng.
I spent most of the day chatting with my grandfather, and then bickered with Shi Feng and made my grandfather laugh for a while.
Then I went to the Bamboo House.
As soon as I arrived at the Bamboo House, I smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and I felt a little puzzled.
Master Jiu never offered these flowers and plants.
There is a fat-bellied pottery vase on the table on one side of the room, with a few white plum blossoms inserted in the middle.
The branches are not high, and the flowers just stick out of the pottery vase, but the branches are very open, and the flowers are densely knotted and blooming properly.
It's lively and full of life.
Next to the plum blossoms, there were two wine glasses, two pairs of chopsticks, and a small wine pot being heated on a small charcoal stove over water.
The corners of my lips couldn't help but curve upward.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I leaned close to the plum blossoms and took a deep sniff.
Master Jiu pushed the wheelchair out from the inner room, "The fragrance of the plum blossoms is just there but not there."
I turned back to look at him: "No matter how you smell it, the most important thing is to be happy."
He smiled gently.
I put my hands behind my back and tilted my head.
I looked at him with a smile and asked, "What delicious food do you want to treat me to?"
He said, "I'll know in a minute."
He invited me to sit at the table and poured me a glass of hot wine.
"Does your shoulder still hurt?"
I said "ah" and looked at him in confusion.
I reacted instantly and nodded quickly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
He was stunned, "Does it hurt or not?"
I shook my head again and again, "It still hurts a little."
He pursed his lips and smiled, "You have to think about it before you say it.
If it hurts, it hurts.
If it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt.
How can actions and words mean two things?"
I knocked my head and touched my shoulder, "No.
It hurt before, but sometimes it hurts a little bit.”
He said: "You have to take care of yourself first when you are busy with business.
It's freezing cold and everyone is wearing one thing after another.
Look at what you are wearing.
No wonder you have a sore throat, headache or shoulder pain."
I lowered my head and turned the wine glass on the table, pursed my lips and smiled, with a hint of joy in my heart.
After Shi Yu called "Jiu Ye" outside the door, he came in with a large tray on which were two big bowls with lids closed.
He grinned at me and placed one each in front of me and Jiu Ye.
Sea bowl.
I looked at the big bowl in front of me and smiled puzzledly: "Are you just asking me to have a bowl of noodles?"
Master Jiu opened the lid for me: "It is said that the reason why Peng Zu, the longevity star, can live to more than 800 years old is because he has a long face.
A face is a face, and a long face is a long face.
I congratulate you on your birthday with this bowl of longevity noodles.
You will have both happiness and longevity.”
The noodles in the bowl are as thin as hair, with milky white bone soup, and green coriander and green onion floating on top.
I flipped it over with my chopsticks and whispered, "Today is not my birthday."
He said gently: "Everyone should have this special day.
Since you don't know your birthday, use this day.
Today last year we met here again.
It is an auspicious day and it is the first day of the year." , every year on your birthday from now on, thousands of families will celebrate with you.”
My voice was stuck in my throat and I couldn't say a word.
I just picked up a chopstick of noodles and stuffed it into my mouth, while he quietly ate longevity noodles with me.
The noodles taste delicious and smooth, and my whole body feels warm when I eat them.
For the first time in my life, I feel that only meat is delicious.
Noodles are the most delicious thing in the world.
After eating the noodles, the two of them drank wine slowly and talked word by word.
I have a poor drinking capacity and dare not drink more, but I can’t bear to drink, so I can only sip it little by little.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I like the idea of two people drinking wine.
The feeling of being tipsy when drinking from a cup is warm and joyful.
It gets dark early in winter, just past Shen hour, and the room is already dark.
Master Jiu lit the candle.
I knew in my heart that I should say goodbye, but I lingered and refused to leave.
I hesitated several times, and finally plucked up the courage to pretend.
Tsukuru smiled casually and said, "I recently learned a new piece of music and I can play it better than before."
Master Jiu said with a smile: "You still have time to learn music.
It seems you are not as busy as I thought.
What kind of music is it?"
I kept my voice steady: "I'll play it for you to see if you know."
He took out the jade flute, wiped it again with a clean silk handkerchief, and handed it to me with a smile.
I lowered my head, not daring to look at him.
The hand holding the jade flute trembled slightly and hid it in my sleeve for a while before I brought the flute to my lips.
"Tonight, what evening is coming?
The boat is in the middle of the river.
What day will it be today?
I will be in the same boat with the prince.
Being humiliated and treated well is not shameful.
My heart was troubled and unstoppable, and I learned about the prince.
There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches.
I am pleased with you, but you know it?”
I have practiced a piece of music thousands of times, but when I play it now, it vibrates from time to time.
After I finished playing, I still lowered my head, holding the flute, and sat motionless, fearing that my slightest move would break something.
Silence, deathly silence, so quiet that the air gelled together, and the light of the candles stopped beating and seemed to get darker and darker.
"It sounds strange, and the music is pretty good, but you don't play it well.
It's almost dark.
Go back," Master Jiu said calmly and calmly.
There was a click, but before I felt the pain, there were already cracks in my heart.
After a while, the pain spread through the whole body along the vertical and horizontal cracks, and the pain made my body tremble slightly.
I looked up at him.
As soon as his eyes met mine, his pupils seemed to shrink suddenly and he immediately looked away.
I stared at him stubbornly, but he just stared intently at the white plums in the clay vase.
He seemed to be unable to see the "why" and sadness in my eyes.
He won't pay attention to you anymore, just leave.
At least everything hasn't been completely revealed yet, and you can leave with seemingly dignity.
A voice in my heart persuaded me softly, but the other side refused to give up, always feeling that he would look up at me again.
After a long time, I stood up silently and walked out.
When I reached the door and opened it, I realized that I was still holding the jade flute tightly in my hand.
I was holding it too hard, and my nails penetrated into the palm of my hand, dripping a little blood, which stained the jade flute.
On the bed, a little bit of red is startlingly bright.
I turned around and put the jade flute gently on the table, and walked out of the door step by step.
In the semi-darkness, I walked without knowing the direction.
Whether I returned to Yufang or not, I didn't even think about it.
There was only a thunderous voice in my mind, repeating over and over again, "It sounds strange.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The music is pretty good, but you can't play it well."
Why does he have no good impression of me at all?
Why is he so nice to me?
Why does he wait for me under the lamp when I come home late?
Why is he thinking about every little problem I have, and carefully prescribing it for me, all the time?
Why did you talk to me gently and lovingly?
Why did you celebrate my birthday?
Why were there so many whys that it made my head hurt so much that it seemed like it was going to explode.
During the New Year, huge red lanterns are hung in front of every door.
The warm red light shines on the streets, and the rich aroma of meat floats in the air.
Everything is warm and sweet.
When you look up, you will see everything in your home.
I feel so happy, but where I lower my head, there is only my own shadow accompanying me, swaying as the light gets stronger and weaker.
A few playful children were burning firecrackers at the intersection.
The bamboos made bursts of "crackling" sounds in the firelight.
The children were laughing, half-covering their ears and hiding in the distance, waiting for those few earth-shattering sounds.
Explosion.
I walked straight past the fire, and the bamboo fire happened to explode.
After a loud noise, a few sparks fell on my skirt.
When the breeze blew, it quickly ignited.
When the children saw that they were in trouble, they yelled and dispersed.
I lowered my head and watched the fire on my skirt getting bigger and bigger.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I suddenly realized what was going on.
I hurriedly tried to pat it with my hands, but the fire couldn't be stopped.
I was so anxious that I just wanted to lie down.
Rolling on the ground to put out the fire, a golden mouse fur cloak slapped on her skirt, and the fire was put out in two or three strokes.
"Is your hand injured?"
Huo Qubing asked.
I shook my head and retracted my left hand behind my back.
Huo Qubing shook the cloak in his hand and sighed: "It's a pity.
I just got it from the emperor a few days ago, and I just put it on today."
I wanted to say that I would compensate him, but when I heard that it was a reward from the emperor, I shut my mouth.
He looked at me twice and put the big cloak on me, "Although it's not good, it's still much better than your skirt with big holes and small holes."
I gathered my cloak and said, "Why are you on the street?"
He said: "I just came back from visiting the princess and uncle for the New Year.
Why are you alone on the street?
It seems that you have been shopping for a long time, and the ends of your hair are covered with frost."
He patted my temple hair a few times with his hand.
Tip, carefully pat away the frost.
I didn't answer.
I turned around and looked around to see where I was.
I turned half of the city of Chang'an in confusion.
He looked at me carefully for a while and said, "You're celebrating the New Year, why are you coming to me looking so depressed?"
Before I could voice any objection, he had already forced me to jump on the carriage.
My strength had been exhausted just now.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
At this time, I just felt that everything didn't matter, and I silently allowed him to place me.
Seeing that I was silent, he also sat silently.
He only heard the "squeaking" sound of the wheels pressing against the ground.
After a while, he said: "I know what tune you are playing.
I hummed a few words casually and the emperor overheard me.
He asked me jokingly which woman sang a Yue song to me.
I also asked the emperor in confusion.
Why can’t it be sung by a man?”
I twitched my lips towards him and forced a smile.
"Chu and Yue are close to each other, but they can't understand each other.
Lord E of the Chu state passed by the state of Yue in a boat.
The Yue girl who was rowing on the river fell in love with her.
However, she couldn't speak the language, so she sang this song.
Lord E understood the meaning of the song and understood the song.
He fell in love with the Yue girl and took her home with a smile."
Huo Qubing narrated this story that happened more than a hundred years ago.
Because of the beautiful encounter and ending, maybe many women will imitate the Yue girl and try to seize their own happiness, but not everyone will get what they want.
I don’t want to listen to this story anymore and interrupt him, "You want to take me Where to go?”
He stared at me quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled as bright as the morning sun and said, "I'll take you to listen to a man's singing."
Huo Qubing actually led me straight into the Yulin Army's barracks.
When Liu Che ascended the throne, he selected young men with good backgrounds from six counties including Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and Xihe to guard Jianzhang Palace, and they were called Jianzhang Yingqi.
At that time, the government was still in the hands of Empress Dowager Dou.
Although Liu Che had the ambition to wipe out the Huns, he could only become a dandy boy indulging in pleasure when his life was not guaranteed.
Liu Che often ordered the Jianzhang camp to be divided into two teams, pretending to be Huns and Han men, fighting each other for training, just like a group of teenagers playing games for fun, but it was this game team that after many years of painstaking management by Liu Che, became the core of the Han Dynasty army.
Where the elite is.
Now it has been renamed Yulinqi, which means "as fast as feathers, as numerous as forests".
Although it was the Chinese New Year, there was still a sense of solemnity in the military camp.
It was not until we moved to the resting barracks that there was a bit of a New Year atmosphere.
The door was wide open, a huge anointed candle illuminated the room brightly, the charcoal fire was burning red, and meat was being roasted on it.
The aroma of wine and meat mixed together, making people's index fingers twitch.
Huo Qubing was born in the Yulin Army.
Everyone sitting around the stove in the room was obviously very familiar with him.
When they saw Huo Qubing, they all stood up with a smile.
A man in brocade clothes smiled and said: "You have a good nose.
The fresh venison has just been roasted.
You can Here we go."
I heard the voice and recognized Li Gan.
Huo Qubing didn't answer, and took me straight to sit on the seat vacated by everyone.
No one looked strange when they saw me, as if I came as a matter of course, or that anything that happened to Huo Qubing was normal.
A young man placed a bowl in front of Huo Qubing and me, and without saying a word, he filled the bowls with wine.
Huo Qubing also said nothing.
He raised his drink and saluted everyone, raised his neck and drank it down.
Everyone laughed.
Li Gan laughed and said, "You are not wordy.
You know you will be punished for being late."

As he said this, He poured another bowl of wine for him, and Huo Qubing drank the three bowls of wine in the blink of an eye.
Everyone looked at me.
Under the charcoal fire, everyone's face was glowing with a healthy red color.
Their eyes were young, pure, calm and passionate, burning like fire.
I don't know if it was the charcoal fire or their eyes.
I actually felt like I was there.
His heart warmed up, he took a deep breath, picked up the bowl with a smile, and imitated Huo Qubing's gesture of saluting everyone, closing his eyes and drinking it down without stopping.
After a bowl of wine, everyone clapped, laughed, and cheered loudly.
I wiped the wine stains from the corners of my mouth and put the bowl on the table.
The second bowl of wine was filled, and when I was about to reach for it, Huo Qubing picked it up and said calmly: "She is the one I brought, and the remaining two bowls are my responsibility."
He started drinking.
Li Gan looked at me and said with a smile: "She doesn't look like she knows how to drink.
She is willing to sacrifice her life to accompany a gentleman, but she is drunk and beautiful.
It's rare for me, Li Gan."
As he said this, he hugged me with a fist.
I was stunned for a moment and there was silence behind me.
Bow to him.
The relationship between Li Gan and Huo Qubing is obviously very good.
Huo Qubing seldom spoke in front of people, and always had a haughty and indifferent look on his face.
Most people did not want to find trouble easily and kept a certain distance from him.
However, Li Gan and Huo Qubing got along very well with each other, one was warm and the other was cold.
Li Gan filled Huo Qubing's third bowl of wine, then filled his own bowl with wine, and drank a bowl with Huo Qubing.
He then cut the venison with a sharp knife and placed it in front of Huo Qubing and I.
Huo Qubing stabbed a piece of meat with a knife, handed it to me, and whispered: "Eat some meat to suppress the smell of alcohol."
Others were already sitting or standing, tearing the venison apart and eating it without using chopsticks.
Some just pulled it off with their hands and ate it, while the more elegant ones ate it with knives.
There are also those who are busy making punches, shouting seven and six, and the shouting is so loud that it can break people's ears.
The smell of alcohol started to get to my head, and my eyes were blurry.
I only knew that Huo Qubing handed me a piece of meat, so I ate a piece, grabbed it with my hands, put it in my mouth, and wiped the grease on his cloak.
In my drunken state of mind, I seemed to hear these young men knocking on the table and singing loudly.
I shouted along with them at the top of my lungs, "Sing Long Live and send me off.
My father and mother generously express their strict orders: The arrow is hanging, the ambition of the four directions, today I comfort my life.
Good man, don't give in, the horse tramples the Huns and the Han Dynasty: the iron bow is cold, but the blood is still hot."
While shouting, a little of the sorrow and sorrow in my heart seemed to be vented from my heart along with the shouting.
For the first time, I had a rough understanding of the heroic ambition and passion of a young man.
The next morning, I woke up groaning.
Honggu was holding a bowl of hangover soup and muttered: "People who didn't like to drink in the past became like this after drinking."
I held my head in my hands, but it still felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Honggu shook her head and fed me a spoonful of water.
After a few sips, I asked, "How did I get back?"
Hong Gu had a weird smile on her lips and looked at me charmingly, "You are as drunk as mud.
How can you come back?
Mr.
Huo sent you to the door.
I wanted to ask someone to carry you back to the house, but Mr.

Huo just hugged you.
Entered the house."
I said "Ah" and my head became heavier and heavier.
Honggu's face was full of gloating, "There is something even more troublesome for you."
I moaned feebly, "What?"
Honggu said: "Young Master Huo wanted to leave, but you held on to his sleeve and refused to let him go.
You yelled at him to explain clearly.
What you said was confusing, and I didn't quite understand it.
Anyway, the general idea seemed to be why you wanted to I'm so good, can you be bad to me?
If you treat me more badly, maybe I won't be so sad.
This makes Mr.
Huo sit by the couch and stay with you, coaxing you until you fall asleep."
I screamed and fell straight.
Back on the bed, how much more nonsense did I talk about?
Gradually I thought of my absurd state, and the scenes passed through my mind clearly or vaguely.
I lamented that if I was really drunk and promiscuous, I would no longer be able to act with loyalty in the heat of the moment.
I stretched out my left hand wrapped with Bai Luo and said, "I remember you wrapped this for me."
Hong Gu nodded and said: "I did it, but Mr.
Huo was watching from the side and urged me to cut off all your nails.
He murmured with a cold face to prevent her from pinching herself instead of pinching others.
I have to pity me for spending so much time.
You put a lot of effort into your nails, but seeing Mr.
Huo's face, you didn't dare to say anything."
I quickly raised my other hand, and sure enough, my nails became bald.
I sighed and put my hand on my face.
"Why is there no one singing anymore?"
I lay on the carriage window sucking in the cold wind.
Huo Qubing dragged me into the carriage with a look of helplessness on his face, "Why is the alcohol intake so bad and the wine so bad?"
I smiled and broke away from his hand and said to He sang loudly out of the car window, "Sing Long Live and see me off.
My father and mother generously proclaimed their destiny: The arrow is hanging, the four ambitions, today I am comforted."
He pulled me back to the carriage, "I just finished drinking, let's blow the cold wind again." , don’t blame me if you have a headache tomorrow.”
I was about to push him away, but he quickly grabbed my hand, but it happened to touch the previous wound.
I sucked in a grimace, and he held my hand and looked carefully, "What's going on?
Could it be something inside someone's sleeve again?"
Fighting."
I chuckled and said, "I pinched it myself."
He asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
I shook my head.
He pointed his head at his heart, pursed his lips, and said with a smile and a cry: "It hurts so much here."
His face was calm and he didn't say a word, but there was a bit of pain in his eyes, and he stared at me intently.
Being so drunk that I felt so uncomfortable, I didn't dare to look at him anymore and quickly looked away.
Hong Gu smiled like a rat that had stolen oil.
She grabbed my clothes and pulled me up.
"Stop thinking so wildly.
After drinking the sobering soup, eat some millet porridge, and then let the girl serve you and take a hot bath."

It won’t be that uncomfortable.” －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Xiao Qian and Xiao Tao now like to eat egg yolks.
Xiao Qian is okay.
Although she wants to eat, she just makes a few "coo" noises when I feed her.
But Xiao Tao is very naughty and follows me wherever I go.
There, she was circling around my skirt and playing a game of "step by step" with me.
After hesitating between "trampling her to death" or "fatting her to death", I decided to let her commit suicide slowly.
This decision made me eat eggs with them every day: they eat the yolks and I eat the whites.
From time to time I would look at Xiao Qian and Xiao Tao in a daze.
I tried my best to forget Jiu Ye's words, "The music is pretty good, but you can't play it well."
Every time it passed through my heart, my heart felt as if it had been cut by a sharp knife. pain.
We haven't had any contact for more than a month.
Sometimes I wonder if we will never have anything to do with each other from now on.
When the night fell, I leaned against the window and looked at the stars.
The dazzling white of Xiao Qian and Xiao Tao in the dark night reminded me that the night tonight was different from before.
I secretly asked myself if I had done something wrong.
Maybe I shouldn't have played that tune at all, otherwise we would have at least had the white doves at night to carry messages between us.
I'm too greedy and want more, but I can't help being greedy.
I just drew water from the water tank in the early morning, and when I turned around, I accidentally glanced at a few green spots in a small flower bed that bloomed last autumn under the window.
I was surprised and overjoyed, but my brows were not filled with joy, and I felt a little sad.
I walked to the flower bed and squatted down to take a closer look.
These mandarin duck vines seemed to have sprouted overnight.
Their tiny leaves were still attached to the ground.
They looked delicate and delicate, but they had to break through the heavy soil to see the sunlight. .
They have been struggling in the dark mud since last autumn.
From autumn to winter, and from winter to spring, more than a hundred days and nights.
They don't know how thick the mud is above their heads.
Have they ever doubted that they can really see?
Sunshine?
I touched their leaves lightly, and my mood suddenly cheered up.
I urged the girl Xin Yan to find a gardener to help me build a bamboo strip basket and cover it on the buds of the mandarin duck vine to block Xiao Qian and Xiao Tao.
They were still too young.
The weak cannot bear Xiao Tao's torture.
I wandered outside the wall of Shi Mansion for a long time but never dared to jump up the wall.
I always thought that I was a courageous person, but now I understand that people can only worry about gains and losses when it comes to things that they really care about and value.
Courage seems to be far away.
I wanted to enter but was afraid to go in, wanted to leave but was reluctant to leave.
I had no choice but to move in my heart.
I secretly jumped on the roof of another house and stood on the highest point.
I looked in the direction of the bamboo house in the distance.
In the dark night, the lights were dimly visible.
You are in the light.
What to do next It was a moonless night, with only a few weak stars flickering on and off.
In the dark night, the entire city of Chang'an was sleeping, but he was not asleep yet.
I stood alone on a high place, the night wind made my robes crackle, and I felt cold, but the warm lamp was far away.
The light was always on, and I kept looking at it.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I didn't know how long I stood there.
I heard a few faint rooster crows before I realized that it was almost dawn.
My heart suddenly became sour, and it wasn't for myself.
A lonely lamp, a long night, alone, why can't you sleep for a long night?
Why on earth are you guarding the loneliness?
There were early-rising pedestrians on the street.
They didn't dare to stay any longer.
They hurriedly jumped off the roof.
After taking a few steps, they paused and stayed there for an instant.
Huo Qubing was standing in the middle of the street.
Under the dim morning light, he raised his head slightly and stared motionlessly at the roof where I had stood all night.
The cool morning breeze blew by, and the sleeves and corners of his robe still seemed to carry a bit of night chill.
How long has he been standing here He lowered his head and looked at me.
His dark eyes were indistinguishable from emotion to anger.
He seemed to have no emotion, but even though he was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, he still couldn't avoid his focused gaze.
My heart suffocated, I didn't dare to look at him, and I looked away hastily.
The two of them stood far apart, he said nothing, I didn't move, and they remained silent.
Pedestrians who occasionally passed by on the road looked at him and me with curiosity on their faces, but because of Huo Qubing's extraordinary aura, they did not dare to look more, so they had to walk quickly.
The sunlight grew from weak to strong, shining brightly all over the ground.
He suddenly laughed, as if he was laughing very freely, "The wind and dew have been standing all night, what do you mean?"
I moved my mouth slightly, but my throat was so stiff that it was difficult to answer his question. , suddenly ran past him, not daring to look back and not being able to look back.
Under the candlelight, the ink in the inkstone has thickened again, but I still can't find a word to write.
What should I say?
From day to night, I still got nothing.
I finally gritted my teeth and wrote: "I ate eggs with Xiao Qian and Xiao Tao.
They ate too much.
It seemed that they were a little too hungry to eat. .
I don’t like taking medicine, do you have any ideas?”
After I finished writing, I didn’t dare to think about it again, for fear that if I thought about it, my courage would disappear and the silk strips would be burned.
He hurriedly tied the silk strips to Xiaoqian's feet and blew the bamboo whistle to let him go to Shifu.
After Xiao Qian left, I couldn't sit still.
I walked from the house to the courtyard, and then walked back to the house.
Finally, I turned on a lantern and squatted in front of the small flower bed to carefully look at the mandarin duck vines.
They grew really fast.
Yesterday morning It was still attached to the ground, but now it was half a finger above the ground.
If I work hard enough like them, I will definitely be able to see the sunshine one day.
Will he reply to me?
Will he?
There was the sound of birds flapping their wings overhead, and I immediately jumped up.
Xiaoqian made a beautiful dive and landed on my raised arm.
I didn't dare to look at Xiao Qian's feet for a while.
I closed my eyes for a while and then slowly opened them to look.
It wasn't the silk strip I gave away that made me feel sad and happy at the same time.
He took off the silk strip, went into the room and lay down under the lamp to take a closer look:
"Peel the core of the hawthorns and take an appropriate amount of yam.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Instruct the cook to steam the hawthorns and yams to make pancakes.
If you like it sweet, add a few drops of honey and eat in moderation every day.
You can add some tangerine peel when making tea on weekdays, which can help digestion and is good for the throat. " I pretended that nothing had happened, and he also pretended that nothing had happened.
We went around in a circle, and seemed to have come back to the same place.
I stared at the silk strip for a long time, trying to see if there was some emotion in this prescription that was as plain as a doctor prescribing to a patient.
I read it word by word, "If you like it sweet, you can add a few drops of honey to digest it."
It’s also good for the throat.”
I sighed softly in my heart.
After such a long time, you still remember that I had a sore throat last year, and you also remember that I said that I hate bitter tastes, but the trace of affection always reveals the alienation that has nothing to do with me. ――――――――――――――――――― The mid-spring sunshine is bright and generous, pouring unstintingly on the mandarin duck vines.
The light falls on the dark old leaves, like a fish entering the water.
The ripples just appear and disappear, and they cannot stir up any changes.
The new leaves that have just emerged become as thin as cicada wings and have clear veins in the sun.
Light and shadow, light and dark, old and new, harmony and disharmony, create half a frame of tangled vines, green leaves and branches.
"When did you plant such a patch of vines?"
Huo Qubing asked from behind me.
The tone was brisk, as if we didn't have the wind and dew in the night to stand all night long.
After not seeing him for nearly a month, I suddenly heard his voice.
I felt a little dazed for a moment, and felt a little happy in my heart.
He didn't dare to move, still looking at Yuanyangvine, pretending that nothing had happened and said: "Can you not stand behind me so silently next time?"
He walked up to me and reached out to touch the cane.
"You can't even notice it.
It seems that my martial arts is really good.
What is this called blooming?"
I said: "Honeysuckle not only blooms but is also very beautiful.
It only blooms in summer and it's not the season yet."
He stood quietly beside me for a while and suddenly asked: "Do you want to go back to the Western Regions?"
His question was strange.
I thought about it for a while before I roughly understood, "You are going to the Western Regions."
"Yes, as long as the emperor approves, but it should be close to ten."
"By the way, I forgot to congratulate you.
I heard that you were named the Emperor's Attendant by the Emperor."
I said as I thought.
He laughed sarcastically and said to himself: "What's so happy about this?
Didn't you hear something else?
You're an ignorant person, you're just relying on your aunt and uncle."
I pursed my lips and smiled, "I didn't hear it.
I only listened to what I wanted to hear.
How old are you?"
Huo Qubing raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "You asked me what my age is.
I am only eighteen years old.
I am still a teenager.
I have a handsome appearance and am not yet married.
I have land and land at home, and there are many girls and women.
You would be a good person to marry me."
Not a bad idea.”

I glared at him, "It's true that being in a high position at a young age makes people jealous, not to mention you now."
I stuck out my tongue and said nothing more.
Huo Qubing snorted coldly: "I will leave them speechless."
I laughed.
This spring, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sent General Wei Qing to lead an army to fight against the Xiongnu.
General Wei returned victoriously only two days ago.
It seems that Huo Qubing can no longer bear to be a leisurely prince and nobleman in Chang'an City, and he also wants to learn from his uncle and fight in the sky.
I said: "Didn't you already familiarize yourself with the landforms and climate of the Western Regions last time?
You have made sufficient preparations.
Besides, there must be people in the army who are familiar with the Western Regions as spies and guides.
I may not be able to play any role. " He looked at me quietly for a while, then smiled and cupped his hands to me, "For so many days, there have been scornful comments both overt and covert.
Finally, apart from the emperor, I heard someone else praise me.
People who are familiar with the Western Regions are the same as you.
They are a bit inferior to Dudu.
The Xiongnu have been wandering in the Western Regions all year round.
In terms of familiarity with the terrain and adaptability to the climate, it is difficult for the soldiers of the Han Dynasty to do so. " I looked at the Yuanyang Pergola and said, "I don't want to go back to the Western Regions right now."
He held the Yuanyang Pergola with his hand, "Forget it."
I said, "I have something to ask you.
If the army recruits local people to do it when they pass through Loulan, Guide, please be kind to them.”
He glanced at me thoughtfully: "I don't care about other people's affairs.
As long as they don't have any objections to those under me, I won't be mean to them."
I bowed to him and said, "Thank you."
Said: "I shouldn't have time to see you from today on.
If you want to see me for anything, you can go directly to my house to find Butler Chen.
You also know Uncle Chen who you met in the Western Regions.
He will send People told me.”
I nodded and looked up at him: "When you return home victorious and receive the reward from the emperor, you can treat me to a feast in the First Grade Residence."
He looked arrogant and said disdainfully: "You can order the banquet now.
Sorry, they won’t have all the rare things ready when the time comes.”
I smiled and shook my head: "I'll go to Yipinju tomorrow."
He also laughed.
In the midst of laughter, he strode out.
When he came to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "When I go on an expedition, will you come to see me off?"
I laughed.
He asked back: "Who am I?
How can I have a place to stand?"
He stared at me without speaking, and I was silent for a while: "When will we leave?"
He smiled slightly: "In more than a month."
I said with a smile, "Then we will see you in a month."
He nodded slightly and walked away quickly.
Under the bright spring sunshine, the pine-like figure gradually fades away.
Behind him, the bright sunshine smiled warmly.
The emerald green leaves of the mandarin duck vine trembled happily in the breeze, and I squinted my eyes slightly and looked at the blue sky.
It is March in the world, the trees are green, the flowers are red, and we are young
