Chapter 4 Old Friend (Sixth Chapter) The summer rain always comes quickly and leaves quickly. Unknowingly, the dark clouds dispersed, and thousands of golden sunlight fell from the sky. Through the window screen, the bamboo shadows were vaguely sifted all over the ground.
In between, there are a few frogs croaking, flat and uneven, like the afterglow of a certain piece of music.
Xuzi slowly stood up from the bed, squinted her eyes and looked at the window sill. After her eyelashes filtered out most of the sunlight, the figures under the small window looked both illusionary and real. She combed her hair very gently, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility at this moment.
Under the long black hair, there is a slender but not weak waist. Asahi Zi measured it, it was slightly thicker than interlocking fingers, and it throbbed with the vitality of life.
"Are you awake too?" The person by the window turned around and asked in a nasal voice. She stood up and tried to come over to help Li Xu get dressed. As soon as her feet moved, she felt sore and soft at the same time.
The feeling immediately spread throughout the whole body. It was a kind of wonderful pain. When it was strong, it was like a mellow wine. People who tasted it for the first time were inevitably a little sensitive. They were stimulated to the point where their eyebrows gathered together and wrinkled, and the moans coming out of their nostrils were heart-wrenching.
"I'll do it myself!" Li Xu smiled and turned over to sit up, taking down his clothes from the wooden rack by the window. His face was thickly bearded, but when he smiled, it immediately filled with sunshine. If you didn't know the details, you wouldn't be able to guess it.
He is a warrior who has experienced dozens of battles and his hands are stained with blood.
"That's alright, you, you are the master after all!" Shi Lan refused quickly, fearing that he would be blamed for not serving Zhou Xuzi, but refused to wait for her to regain her strength. He tied all the ties with a smile and kicked off a pair of home cloth shoes.
Sit down by the window and continue to watch the other person arranging her long hair.
Shi Lan was a little embarrassed to be seen. She lowered her head and moved her hands faster and faster. "What's so good about it? Have you never seen a girl combing her hair?" While she was busy, she was slightly annoyed. Unknowingly, red clouds flew all over her face again.
"No, I've never seen it so close! I don't have any sisters in my family, so no one can comb it for me!" Li Xu scratched his scalp and answered honestly.
The second half of the explanation made people laugh. Shi Lan pursed her lips, trying not to be rude. She did have a brother once, but who would comb her hair to show her brother? Thinking of her dead relatives, her heart was instantly shocked.
After a moment, the smile was still as bright as the clouds, "Are there no other women combing their hair in front of you? You are such a big official? A young man is proud of you?"
"When I grew up, I stayed in the military!" Li Xu's answer was concise and concise. As for when he grew up, he couldn't tell. He always felt that he was already an adult, especially after the madness just now.
There may be some truth to the saying that a man will grow up only after he has a woman. At least, Xuzi felt that her thoughts were clearer than before, including the girl's thoughts. She had never been able to see clearly before, but now she could vaguely capture them.
Like the Shi Lan in front of her, Xuzi already understood the meaning of many of her words as soon as they were spoken.
"Didn't you buy a girl when you were at home? It's not that you're clumsy like me, but, but..." She wanted to ask Asahi whether he had a girl to marry, but she felt shy for no reason, and finally said
The aftertaste of the wind and rain in the afternoon was still there. She didn't know if a man like this could be considered an expert in flowers, but sharing the most beautiful things in life with strangers was ultimately not as good as hiding it by yourself and savoring it slowly.
She knew that this idea was a bit extravagant. Legend has it that when a boy from a wealthy family reaches the age of fourteen, he will have someone to make his bed. The person in front of him will be granted the title of uncle when he is not twenty years old. I am afraid that there are already more than a dozen sisters in the family to serve him.
"My family is very poor. We barely have enough to eat. How can we buy a maid?" Li Xu's answer is always unexpected.
"People like you barely have enough to eat, so what kind of life do we people in the countryside live?" Shi Lan thought that Xu Zi was deliberately perfunctory, and asked with wide eyes.
She was slightly angry at one moment, and at other times she was angry. Her smiles were filled with a unique charm. Xu Zi had not been with a girl for more than a year. Although her mind was clear, her concentration in her heart was not very good. Unknowingly, her hands were...
He reached over and gently touched the other person's face. His movements were extremely subtle and slow, as if he was afraid that if he used even half of his strength, his flowery smiling face would be broken.
"Forget it, if you don't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask!" Shi Lan misunderstood Li Xu's meaning again, thinking that the other party was diverting his attention, so he put his hand on the back of Xu Zi's hand and sighed.
"No matter how many sisters he has in his family, after all, the warmth at this moment is mine," she told herself in her heart. "Since you cling to a high branch, you have to endure the price. Besides, I can't be with him forever!"
Are you still taking advantage of this simple young man? She doesn't know. She just feels that the warmth of this moment is so nostalgic. If it weren't for the things that happened in the past, she would really want to be obsessed with it for the rest of her life.
"My family is indeed very poor. In order to avoid military service, we almost hid outside the Great Wall. Now, all these things are obtained by working hard on the battlefield, including this fame!" Xuzi felt Shi Lan sigh softly, faintly.
to supplement
"Did you really go out with Xu Maogong?" Shi Lan's eyes lit up for a moment, and she asked out of female instinct. She wanted to know everything about the man in front of her in the past, including his home, his parents, and his life.
Besides, there are many issues that she should know something about
"Back then, when the emperor was recruiting soldiers, I was the only son in my family. I couldn't bear to be drafted by the government and didn't have the money to take care of things, so I packed some groceries and fled outside the Great Wall under the guise of doing business. At that time, I gathered a caravan, and the leader was Sun Anzu.
, I call him Uncle Jiu. He is a very nice person and he takes good care of me. Most of the people in that team are old people in their forties and fifties. The only one who is similar in age to me is Xu Maogong!" Xuzi withdrew his palm from the opponent's face,
Answer in a very calm tone
If he had been asked about these old memories before the storm in the afternoon, he would have felt very angry. At that time, the rumors were like snakes, biting at his heart. But now, the storm has passed, and he no longer wants to deny this.
No matter how the people in the past become now, at least this memory is beautiful and precious
Xuzi shared his experiences with Shi Lan like a story. Xiaolang Ganluo, Bu Xiaowei, Jiu Shu, Xu Maogong, and Aslan. When Ashina Queyu mentioned Su Chuobu, his heart twitched.
He hesitated for a while, but soon calmed down. He didn't mention the details of his time with Tao Kuo, but he also didn't deliberately hide the experience of his relationship with her. Those green memories of his youth are long gone. If you haven't learned how to meet each other,
Yes, you will never grow up
Shi Lan's eyes widened a little bit. She didn't expect that the experience of the man in front of her was so exciting. His family background was similar to mine. He also relied on his father to work hard outside... It's just that the path he chose was relatively safe.
Unlike his father, who was impulsive...it turned out that he had been bullied before, so he didn't bully people often..."There was a warm feeling that slowly brought the distance between the two closer. Shi Lan felt dizzy.
, unconsciously temporarily forgetting her original intention, "If only I had been by his side when he was bullied, I could at least help him with suggestions, or face it together!" She thought infatuatedly, knowing this thought.
It's very dangerous, but I can't help it. Even after hearing Tao Kuotosi's name many times, I felt a little sad in my heart.
"That Tao, Tao, what kind of silk is she? Is she beautiful?" Shi Lan asked with concern when he heard that the woman from the Shang tribe was planning to marry Li Xu, but was forced to marry a Turk by her tribe.
"In my heart, she has always been beautiful!" Li Xu answered frankly
"She must be very happy!" Shi Lan smiled, with two cold stars in his eyes, "Because you always remember her and will never forget her in this life!"
"Now that I think about it, I was really stupid at that time." Li Xu smiled and shook his head, "But maybe it's because she and I were not destined to each other, so we never got together!"
"Then you returned to the Central Plains and joined the army?" Shi Lan was extremely smart. After probing, he quickly changed the subject. "She is the one who should be jealous, not me!" She thought maliciously, still smiling at the corners of her mouth.
, the eyes are getting brighter and brighter
"It didn't go so smoothly. On the way, Ashina Choyu forcibly took me as a guest and asked me to serve him. Then Xu Maogong and I set fire to his camp. He led people in hot pursuit. Later, Xu Maogong and I escaped halfway.
I took him back to the Central Plains, and I was rescued by a group of horse thieves!" Li Xu smiled and shook his head again.
At that time, he had such trust in Xu Maogong that he never imagined that a knife would stab him from the opponent's angle. If everything happened again, he knew that he would still light his clothes on fire and distract the pursuers because Xu Maogong had already paid for him at that time.
There are a lot of things. Xuzi has no reason to ask the other party to risk his life in the end.
You should not trust a person without any defense, nor should you doubt all the bright sides of human nature. The key is to grasp the degree. When you know how to hold your most important reliance in your own hands, instead of wishfully believing and relying on
For someone... Asahi was chatting with Shi Lan intermittently while reviewing his past.
The reason why I was betrayed one after another was not that I trusted people too much, but that I was too absolute in dealing with things. If I believed in others, I would not know how to hold back and always rely too much on the people around me. Therefore, I would always be ignored at critical moments.
The tribe relied too much on Xu Dayan's resourcefulness and the justice of the tribe elders. In Liaodong, it relied too much on Brother Liu's life experience. In Xiongwu Camp, it relied too much on Yu Wenshiji's connections.
I hold the power tightly in my hand, so I lose again and again, and I lose again and again.
He looked at Shi Lan with a smile and found that the other person was very attractive. His eyes were blank, excitement and cunning flashed alternately, making people wonder which look was real and which was fake.
But it doesn't matter if it's true or false, because the mistakes of the past will not be repeated again.
"Your hair is beautiful!" After talking about the miscellaneous past, Xuzi picked up the ends of Shi Lan's hair and praised it.
"Does it look better when combed or let down?" Shi Lan gestured repeatedly with his long hair, not sure how to put the hairpin in (note 1). "It looks good no matter what!" Li Xushun replied, as if he meant it but didn't mean it, "But you still
Comb it up, I'll ask the butler to arrange for someone to bring your luggage here tonight!"
Shi Lan smiled and turned his eyes. In an instant, they both saw countless stars twinkling in each other's eyes.
Note 1: In the old days, when a woman got married, she had to change her hairstyle. Young girls and young women were not to be confused with each other.
