Chapter 9 Past Events

Xie Zhou secretly pouted.

He was an only son. When he was a child, Mr. You Fang said that he could save his life by practicing the eight-step formula. He often called him Bago'er when he was a child. Because he disliked it very much, he changed his name to Xiaoba.

King Jin is obviously very cautious and is waiting for him here.

But when King Jin called him, he had to grit his teeth and say, "Yes."

"This year, Gangyin on Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road will pass through Xiangshui River, so be careful."

"yes."

"Myna, go show me the tea again."

"yes."

After the Xie family and his son left, King Jin took off his silk shoes and socks, stepped on the couch with his bare feet, leaned on his desk and unfolded his papers, while his eyes fell on the big camphor tree outside.

When Song Huiyue arrived in Tanzhou, Mrs. Chen sought medical advice for Song Qinghui in Kyoto. She lived in the palace for two years. In the first year of her arrival, she could not sleep at night and often sat alone under the big camphor tree.

The tree crowns cast shadows in clusters, and under the sun, when the wind suddenly picked up, the leaves piled up, making the sound like rolling waves.

King Jin's eyes were in a daze for a moment, thinking that he had followed the waves and returned to the ship.

At the age of ten, he fled from the capital in panic and came out of the Huaihe River. No matter how he evaded or changed boats, the river thieves could find him.

In this chaotic time, he couldn't find out who the traitor was.

The deck and the river were often stained red with blood, and there were fewer and fewer people around him.

At noon the day before arriving in Tanzhou, there was a strong wind and rain. He sat in the cabin with a pale face. The road ahead was bleak. He didn't even know if he could reach Tanzhou alive.

When the wind howled, light footsteps sounded outside the door. He immediately sat up straight, holding the knife in his sleeve and pressing his back against the wooden board.

It turned out to be Song Huiyue.

Song Huiyue was young and not very strong. Holding her arms full of green and green coir raincoats, she struggled to step into the door, put down her things, turned around, closed the cabin door again, and looked at Li Shouming.

Her eyes were already big, but now they were even wider. There was nothing in her hand, so she put her index finger in her mouth and sucked it.

He himself is ten years old, but Song Huiyue, who is six years old, looks particularly young.

Both young and quiet.

He had seen Song Huiyue push Song Qinghui to the ground and beat her brother until he screamed. He had also seen her having fun in the palace and was covered in ashes, but he had never seen her so quiet.

At this time, Li Shouming thought back and realized that Song Huiyue didn't cry or make trouble along the way.

It seemed as if he didn't know anything, and he seemed to be numb.

Does she know that her father is gone?

Does she know that her brother is stupid?

Does she know that their life or death is uncertain?

He thought she was too young, not even old enough to separate men and women, and didn't understand anything.

Pulling Song Huiyue to his side, he pulled out her fingers: "Don't bite, your teeth will become crooked."

Song Huiyue obediently wiped her fingers on her clothes, and then touched the injury on the back of Li Shouming's hand: "Does it still hurt?"

Her speech was still leaky because two of her front teeth were missing.

Li Shouming suddenly felt sour for some reason, and nodded with a little tear in his eyes: "It doesn't hurt."

Song Huiyue stood on tiptoes and put her mouth to Li Shouming's ear, and her voice entered his ears pitifully with the airflow.

"I want to eat candy, can you go buy it with me?"

The boat will soon dock at Yuezhou Youchonghe Pier to replenish water.

She blinked her big eyes and her eyelashes flickered. Seeing that Li Shouming didn't speak, she blinked her big eyes again and looked at him pitifully.

Li Shouming's wandering heart was suddenly tied up and fell to the ground.

"Okay, I'll ask Xiaoba to come with us."

"No," Song Huiyue stood on tiptoe and whispered to him again, "Let's go secretly, no one will see it. Brother Xiaoba often takes me there, so bring more money."

After saying that, she lifted the bamboo hat used by Xie Zhou and lifted it to Li Shouming's head.

Li Shouming's eyes changed from doubt to hesitation, then to solemnity, and finally he put the hat on.

The boat shook violently, and then with a "bang" sound, the cockpit fell down, and shouts were heard everywhere. The vendors on the pier opened yellow umbrellas, stood on wooden clogs, and sold tea, rock sugar water, wine, and toys.

The pier is narrow and increasingly crowded.

Li Shouming held Song Huiyue's hand and hid his face in the rain. He and Xie Zhou were similar in stature. Coupled with the heavy rain, the boatmen came and went in a hurry, and no one noticed.

Li Shouming and Song Huiyue got off the boat smoothly. Song Huiyue held his hand tightly. Their palms were cold and wet, and they didn't even notice that the rain had wet their shoes.

With a "swish" sound, King Jin stepped into the puddle: "You want to eat..."

Song Huiyue pulled him hard: "Your Majesty, listen to me. I have met my father. He said that no one can be trusted. After passing Ezhou, let me take you off the boat and take the official road. As long as you get to Tanzhou, you

It’s safe.”

The Zhang family was caught by surprise, it came fast and fierce, catching them off guard, but at the same time, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not make too many preparations.

The Queen Mother's nephew Pei Yuzhang was still serving as the commander-in-chief on Jinghu South Road, the fiefdom of the King of Jin. As soon as Li Shouming arrived, he could mobilize the garrison.

Li Shouming's eyes were shocked, and he lowered his head to look at Song Huiyue. He saw Song Huiyue's eyes wide open, trying hard not to shed tears.

It turned out that she knew everything, and was even more scared than him. She carried her father's words with her all the way, and no one could believe it, until the sudden heavy rain.

Li Shouming resisted the urge to look back at the situation on the boat, his heart beat wildly, he grabbed Song Huiyue with his hand and strode forward.

Walking turned into running, and running was still too slow. He took off his raincoat, put Song Huiyue on his back, and ran wildly in the mud.

This is his glimmer of hope, the only chance Song Huiyue brings to him.

With a "pop" sound, the book in his hand fell, bringing him back to reality.

In the first few years when Song Huiyue moved out, she often came to the palace to play, but then she gradually stopped coming. After she and Ji, the two of them met only a handful of times.

I don’t know if she is avoiding people or avoiding the whirlpool of struggle.

What a cruel and evil moon, I don’t know what she is doing at this time.

The big bad guy didn't make trouble, but was making bamboo baskets in the back garden at this time.

The bamboo strips were thin, soft, and sharp, flying around Song Huiyue's fingertips, while the flowers and trees swayed above her head, cutting the sunlight into pieces.

She was punished and was not allowed to go out.

Yin Xiao quietly came in through the corner door and gave Song Huiyue a pack of salt plums, which also contained three candied lychees.

While Song Huiyue was pinching bayberries and eating them, he stood under the tree and punched the thick trunk to sharpen his fists and feet.

Guishu was severely beaten and endured it silently.

Song Huiyue waved to him: "Take a rest."

Yinxiao shook his fists and sat down with his head down, like a tamed tiger and leopard.

As soon as he sat down, he noticed mosquitoes arrogantly wandering around Song Huiyue, so he pressed them all to death with his fingers.

Song Huiyue took a bayberry in her mouth and continued working with her fingers: "I'm just too young. If I make it up another twenty or thirty years, I can compare with all the bamboo craftsmen in Tanzhou."

Yinxiao held down an ant, thinking that the lady is different, she is also very good at bragging.
