Chapter 63 Mountains
The door of the wooden house opened, the night rushed in, the oil lamp jumped, covering the person sitting by the table seemed like a shadow.
The shadow is slender and seems to dissipate by the wind.
The girl who ran in stopped her feet, made her breathing smaller, and her voice lowered: "Aunt, I'm sure Zhong Changrong was going to the capital, and I've also inquired about it in the county. The official scolded General Chu, saying that he didn't know his identity and was going to enter the capital again to anger His Majesty."
The figure in front of the table was silent for a moment: "He hasn't sent anyone to the capital for many years."
Her voice was soft and nice.
The girl clenched her hands and snorted: "If he doesn't send someone to the capital, he will not be known by others. His real skills are not known by the county and other officials."
The woman's shadow smiled softly: "Xiaoman, I mean, he hasn't let Zhong Changrong go to the capital for so many years. Zhong Changrong is his right-hand man and he doesn't leave easily."
Xiaoman said oh, but was not too happy, and muttered: "It's been so many years and I haven't had any contact. Who knows that Zhong Changrong is still his right-hand man."
The figure under the lamp is silent.
Xiao Man suddenly panicked, cursed himself in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then, why did Zhong Changrong come to Beijing?" He had an idea, "Are you going to pick up Chu Zhao?"
After saying that, she was flirting with joy and admired her intelligence.
"That's right, I must have gone to pick up Chu Zhao."
"Aunt, Chu Zhao is coming back."
The figure under the lamp shook his head: "When Ah Zhao left, he didn't ask Zhong Changrong to escort him. He just picked him up and wouldn't let Zhong Changrong go. Zhong Changrong went to pick him up. Things must not be that simple."
The figure stood up in a flash.
"There must be something else, and this matter must be very important. Maybe it will threaten Ah Zhao, so Zhong Changrong is letting go."
As he spoke, the person paced around the room, causing a gust of wind, and the weak oil lamp was wiped out with a slight sound, and the room was completely swallowed by darkness.
Xiaoman raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, and said what Chu Zhao was like!
"Aunt, are you thinking too much? What's the matter?"
"It was fine when that time."
The figure in the dark stopped and said, "That was the case back then, he did not ask Zhong Changrong to go to the capital to meet the emperor."
After that, the man walked out.
"No, I'm going to ask him what happened."
But one foot crossed the threshold, and the other foot stopped, and the tall and slender figure in the night did not move.
"I said that I will never step into Luocheng in this life and will never see him again."
She murmured in a low voice.
"He does what he says, keeps Ah Zhao and raises me, and I will do what he says."
This is what I say, and it really makes my aunt suffer.
In fact, Xiaoman doesn’t quite understand. For people like them, it’s just a casual talk. She talks with her sisters and brothers seven or eight hundred times a year, but she doesn’t do it for more than nine hundred times.
However, when she thought of the matter between her aunt and that person, she didn't dare to say more questions.
Just looking at the back standing between the threshold, Xiaoman, who was ignorant of the sadness, could feel sad.
"Aunt." She shouted, "Then let's go to the capital."
The dead figure moved and went to the capital?
"What I said was that I wouldn't step into Luocheng, but I didn't say that I couldn't step into the capital." Xiaoman felt that his idea was better and he was furious. "We also went to the capital. Just stare at Zhong Changrong and you will know what he was going to do and you will see Chu Zhao."
Meet Chu Zhao.
I calculated the days, I have only been away for more than a year, but it seems that my life is so long.
Go to the capital-
The other foot raised and walked past the door, step by step, two, three steps, getting faster and faster, and the slender figure was like a sharp sword to split the night color.
The mountain road is rugged, but to her it is like walking on flat ground.
Xiaoman ran to catch up.
"Aunt, hurry up." She couldn't help but shout.
After the words came, the running figure stopped.
"Little Man," she said, "I can't go."
Why did she shout slowly? Xiaoman raised her hand and slapped herself in the face again. Is it really like what the third brother said, she is a crow's mouth? Whatever she says is broken?
"Aunt." Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Don't worry about the village. With everyone here, there will be nothing. The officers and soldiers are stupid and dare to shout, and they will not even go in the mountains. Let's come out, and they will run away instead."
"I'm not worried about the village." The figure said softly, "I can't leave."
What are you worried about? Is there anything more worthy of your aunt's worries than Chu Zhao? Xiaoman is puzzled.
But the figure stopped talking, turned around and grabbed Xiaoman's hand: "Xiaoman, you can take people to the capital."
Xiaoman whispered: "Me? I can't do it."
"Xiaoman, aunt knows, thank you for your hard work." The female voice was low and full of apology, "You have never left the house, it's such a long way."
Xiaoman said excitedly: "Aunt, what are you saying? I am not afraid of hard work. Besides, why haven't I left the door? I haven't run away from the 29th village in the eight cities of the county here? It's enough to go back and forth between the capital two times."
The girl laughed: "I know, Xiaoman is very awesome."
Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed again and held the woman's weak and boneless hand: "Aunt, I mean, isn't it good for you to go in person?"
The woman shook her head: "No, I can't see her."
Xiaoman sighed in her heart, "It's a sin." Even though he thinks about people day and night, he can't see them, but he dare not see them."
"Okay." She nodded, "Aunt, I'll take people there, I'll do my business, don't worry."
The woman held her hand tightly and shook it gently: "Although Xiaoman is young, I feel most at ease in doing things. And my aunt is very grateful to you. It is my aunt who has to work hard for Azhao. You are also a child-"
Xiaoman stomped his feet and said, "Auntie, stop talking, I'm not angry at all." She reached out and hugged the woman, "Auntie, you miss Ah Zhao, but for more than ten years, I enjoyed you pampering me. I was born and cried at night, and you hugged me all night. When I was a child, I didn't like to eat, but you fed me bit by bit, you taught me riding horses, teaching me kung fu, teaching me reading and writing, cutting new clothes for me, and dressing up what you gave me was something Ah Zhao had never got before."
Without waiting for the woman to speak, she let go of her hand and turned around and ran away.
"Aunt, wait, I will see Ah Zhao for you."
In the dark night and the rugged mountain road, the little girl was like a sensitive deer, jumping in it and soon disappeared.
Birds sing in the dense forests, and then more and more, one after another, and the towering and huge mountains were shaking.
The night wind stroking the dress, and the slender body seemed to be blown up and flew away in the next moment.
But the woman always stood steadily, crossing the layers of mountain shadows, and looking into the distance in a daze.
"Azhao, I'm sorry for you." She said softly, "When I was a child, I still have to leave you. Isn't it because I'm worried about you, but I'm even more worried about him-"
