Chapter 6: Chi Li (No. 8 Middle School) didn’t blame Li Xu for his rude behavior. He clearly remembered that when he and he returned north together, Hong Fu once said that a woman’s life is like a spring flower. If it cannot be gorgeous, it would rather wither.
The lonely woman wandering under the flower tree in Wangwu Mountain, since she was injured at this time, must have found a place with many flowers and quietly waited for her destiny in life.
He needs to find Hongfu as soon as possible and bring her home, even if it occasionally arouses gossip from outsiders. Such a beautiful life should not wither easily. Li Jing does not know how to appreciate it, but there are many people in the world who know how to appreciate it! Xu Maogong, Dou Jiande, Liu Hongji
, which of these heroes is not stronger than Li Jing!
Heifeng under his crotch seemed to know that his master was impatient, and he ran faster and faster. The guards could still watch the smoke and dust chasing after them. After a while, they could only look at the backs of Heifeng and Li Xu and shook their heads. Fortunately, this place is not far from the military camp.
There are also many scouts on patrol, so there is no need to worry about a large group of enemy troops passing by, threatening the safety of the commander. As for half of the enemy spies who have sneaked through the Great Wall, they can only count themselves unlucky when they meet Li Xu. Talking about fighting alone, so far, brothers
We have never seen our boss lose to anyone else.
Quail Stream is located in a barren mountain near the Great Wall. There is a small stream falling from the cliff on the north side. The stream freezes in winter, and half of the mountain looks crystal clear. When the snow melts in spring, there are countless quails and wild birds jumping above the stream. Li Xu leads the way.
When the soldiers were surveying the terrain, they visited Jianding once and discovered a Taoist temple that had been abandoned for hundreds of years. The sacred beasts in front of the temple had been tortured by wind and sun for hundreds of years, and the Taoist priests could no longer recognize their original appearance.
The peach blossoms they planted multiplied into a forest, growing all over the cliff top.
Abandoning Heifeng on the way, Xuzi held the machete in his hand and climbed on foot. He had not completely forgotten the climbing tips he had learned when he left the fortress. Therefore, when the guards chased him to the foot of the mountain, his figure had already appeared on the cliff.
top
The dilapidated Taoist temple is still there, and the corridor seems to have been cleaned. The dead branches and leaves have been removed, and one or two flat bluestones are occasionally exposed under the lush weeds, which proves that someone once lived here. Only the gate pillars on both sides of the mountain gate are left.
People used branches to tie up the door panel again, effectively blocking the way for visitors. Seeing this, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and then gently knocked on the "chaimen"
There was no response in the Taoist temple. A few wild birds heard the knock on the door, and flew up with a huff, flying in the sunset. The evening wind blew pieces of fallen cherry blossoms, circling around people, and a few piano music sounded just in time with the fluttering petals.
, if you smell it, there is lingering fragrance
At this time, Li Xu was not in the mood to appreciate the falling cherry blossoms. He followed the rhyme of the piano and looked for it. Sure enough, he saw a man in red clothes under the flower tree on the north side of the Taoist temple. As if he didn't hear his rapid and heavy footsteps at all, Hua Xia Ke
He lowered his eyebrows and talked casually, with his voice sometimes tactful and sometimes cheerful, as if he was recounting an extremely beautiful memory.
"You actually have the temperament to play the piano here, don't you know that everyone is looking for you everywhere?" Li Xu felt angry, rushed up to the piano player in three steps, and shouted to the back of the piano player.
He knew that it was Hong Fu. How could an ordinary woman be as capable as her and run up to such a high cliff with a piano on her back? Except for the military camp, there were no people in this generation. Wild wolves often appeared after sunset, and howling sounds could be heard one after another.
Ordinary women living in Taoist temples would scare themselves to death even if they were not eaten by wild beasts.
He was scolded as soon as they met. Hongfu was not annoyed and lightly touched the strings, making a crisp sound of piercing the clouds and cracking the silk. Then he slowly turned around, smiled, and whispered: "Brother is here, I know you will definitely be able to find this place."
I came here early so I waited for God to see me, and I was asked to wait before sunset!"
She spoke softly, with anger and resentment, just like a bowl of sour plum soup with ice cubes poured into the throat, making people unable to get angry even if they were full of anger. Li Xu did not expect that Hongfu, who had always been solemn and self-possessed, suddenly changed into such a charming posture.
When he came to face him, his heart suddenly softened when he thought that the other party was injured but refused to treat him. He forced himself to keep a straight face and pretended to be angry and scolded: "Since you are here, why don't you go to my house and go to the ruined temple alone?"
Is it just to see more scenery?"
"No wonder people want to be the eldest brother, it turns out that scolding people feels so good!" Hong Fu shook his head gently and smiled. In an instant, the sunset in the sky became dazzling in people's eyes.
Among the women Li Xu has ever seen, when they first met him, they were all beautiful in their early years. Although beautiful, she has the unique youthfulness of a girl. Even though her heart is secretly attracted to her at the beginning, her smile is red with shame.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen Fu with such a charming smile, so he was stunned for a while and almost forgot his purpose of coming.
No, Hongfu must have gone crazy because of Li Jing. He squeezed my fist hard. Xuzi forced himself to calm down again. The Hongfu in his memory was not like this. Hongfu at that time was beautiful, but she was very solemn and not as charming as she is now.
, or in other words, she would never let others see her charm easily. But at this moment, Hongfu is like a spring peach with branches full of flowers, stretched out under people's noses for you to pick.
That was not Hongfu, at least not the original Hongfu. Xuzi felt pity and sadness in his heart. He wanted to say a few words of comfort to heal the wounds in the other person's heart, but he also hated himself for being clumsy and tongue-tied. He couldn't use a single word he had learned in his life.
After pondering for a long time, he murmured, "I don't want to scold you! I'm just worried about your safety. You left Chang'an for so long, and you said you were coming to my place, but you didn't even show your face...
..”
"Brother is really worried about me?" Hong Fu put away his smile and looked into Li Xu's eyes with clear water eyes and asked.
"Of course I'm worried that you are my sworn sister?" Li Xu felt weak from the bottom of his heart when the other party saw him, so he had to declare defeat. "Aren't you injured? Come back with me to find the doctor and see how many doctors there are in our army.
The best at treating golden sores. Whoever hurt you, tell me his name. When this is over, I will go and seek justice for you!"
"Thank you, brother!" Hongfu raised his head and glanced at Li Xu, then quickly lowered his eyelids, "I can handle some skin injuries myself if I don't want to mobilize an army!"
Although he said the words easily and turned around, there was a slight cough. With the coughing sound, his shoulders kept shaking, like a delicate flower in the wind. Li Xu was coughed so hard that his heart trembled. He walked a few steps forward and wanted to help give him a beating.
When I saw my palms raised, I subconsciously stopped in mid-air, calmed myself down, and said with concern: "You said it doesn't matter, but you keep coughing. It's not good for you, a woman, to stay alone in a ruined temple.
It's better to follow me back to my house. There happens to be an empty room across the courtyard, and I usually have someone to keep me company!"
Hongfu turned her back to Li Xu, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. When Li Xu wasn't paying attention, she hid the handkerchief that had been stained dark red with blood into her sleeves and sighed quietly. She turned around again, with another expression on her face.
Naughty and disappointed, "Is there any room at Brother's house? I heard this morning that you only have two places at your place!"
When someone mentioned the whispers in the boudoir, Li Xu immediately blushed. Fortunately, the other party only heard his promise to Zhen'er this morning and did not hear the discussion between the two last night. He wanted to explain that what he said to Zhen'er meant
I don't want to marry another woman in this life, not that female guests are not allowed to visit at home. But looking at Hong Fu's charming eyes, I don't know if what I said will make the other party worry about a beautiful woman like Hong Fu. Why bother?
If she wants to get married by sending someone to her door as a concubine, there are countless heroes in the world who would break their heads.
Thinking of this, Li Xu sobered up a little, smiled kindly, and complained: "Sister, you are so ignorant that you actually eavesdropped on the whispers of eldest brother and sister-in-law. I will let you go this time. Don't do it again next time! Ours
Qingqing, I told Zhen'er a long time ago that you would move to live with me, and she was very happy!"
Seeing Li Xu being dizzy by being teased by him, the smile on Hong Fu's face became even stronger. She was originally fair-skinned, but through injuries, her complexion became more and more translucent, like a piece of mutton-fat jade carved out of it. If she held it in her hand,
He must be gentle and gentle. Even a person like Li Xu, who is not acquainted with amorous feelings, found the sunset dazzling. He turned his head slightly away several times, and couldn't help but twist his head back several times.
"Brother is such an honest man. No wonder Sister Wan'er thinks you are solid and reliable!" Hongfu chuckled softly again, as if he didn't realize how frivolous his behavior just now seemed. "I will not stay in your home to avoid being exposed."
People say you are gossiping about me, a prostitute who travels around the world as an entertainer. No matter where I go, I am destined to be looked down upon by others, so why bother adding chaos to your family!"
When she said her identity, her laughter suddenly stopped, and her head slowly lowered. When she raised her face again, tears were already visible in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Hongfu shed tears, Li Xu hurriedly stood there and thought for a long time, frowned and shouted: "It's okay, you are a female general in the Women's Army, it's too late for others to flatter you, how can they underestimate you?
Origin, who is of higher origin? Liu Bei even sold straw sandals. How come no one looks down on him? Besides, the war is about to begin, and it is uncertain whether everyone will live or die. How can I have time to gossip?!"
"Big brother is big brother, he will always be different from the rest of the world." Hongfu listened quietly to every word Li Xu said, and then commented quietly, tears rolling down his face.
"It's no different. I was just a peddler, Liu Hongji, a horse thief, Dou Jiande, the mountain king. Although the world is big, how many people are really born with a silver spoon in their mouths? If everything is based on one's origin, then everyone will have nothing.
The law is alive!" Li Xu waved his hands and said angrily
At that moment, he understood why Hong Fu was so crazy. No matter which woman waited ten years for a bastard only to be abandoned in the end, she would probably not feel better than Hong Fu. The so-called annihilation of relatives for justice is just a pretense.
In fact, Li Jing proposed to Hongfu just to deceive him into helping him escape from the tiger's mouth. Once he escaped from Yang Su's house, Hongfu would lose his use value. Think back then, when Xu Maogong was the son of a wealthy businessman, he did not dare to marry a Hu girl and let the family suffer.
As Han Qinhu’s nephew and two of the most famous talents in the Sui Dynasty, it’s strange that Li Jing would bow his head and marry Hong Fucai.
The wall that once stood between him and the wealthy family is now weighing on Hongfu's heart. Li Jing will not marry her, not because of her bad conduct, not because of her bad looks, not because she is not loyal to the marriage contract, but because she is not loyal to the marriage contract.
Because she was born as a slave and was born in a wealthy family, and no matter how downcast Li Jing was, he was still the son of a noble family!
When Hongfu talked about this engagement to himself, Xuzi had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Now he compared it before and after, and finally understood all the tricks. Han Qinhu's nephew is a great nephew, a talent praised by Yang Su himself.
No? Then Li Mi is still a hereditary Pusangong, won't he still be beaten to pieces by me?
Looking at Hong Fu's slightly shrugged shoulders, and then thinking about the glares he had received over the years, a feeling of common hatred and hatred arose in his heart. He was no longer constrained by etiquette. He took a step forward, reached out and took Hong Fu's arm, "
Don’t be sad anymore, I’ll marry you! I’ll marry you! Qi’er has been urging me to find a sister for her, and if you’re not too hasty, I can marry you tomorrow!”
"The eldest brother is the eldest brother!" Hong Fu struggled for a while, but did not break free. He slowly leaned his body against Li Xu's chest. A knife-like feeling instantly spread throughout Xu Zi's body, making him unable to breathe, unable to move and not knowing.
After a long time, maybe it was just a fleeting moment, maybe it was hundreds of years of sobbing. Hongfu slowly put away his tears and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, for talking to you for a while. My little sister feels better!"
"Don't worry, I will never go back on what I said. Come home with me. I will send someone to marry you tonight!" Li Xu straightened his body and made a solemn promise.
"Brother is so stupid!" Hongfu wiped away tears again and responded with a smile, "Brother doesn't understand women's thoughts at all!"
"I'm a little stupid!" Li Xu giggled. He couldn't figure out what Hong Fu meant. He only felt that the other person's expression was not as sad as before, and his behavior no longer showed madness. "I don't understand women's minds, but I
I won’t hurt you either!”
"But a woman who can be a big brother is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes." Hong Fu smiled, like a pear blossom carrying rain, "I'd better be your sister. I don't dare to ask for the blessing of being your wife!"
"
"That's fine. No matter what, go home to my house first. No one will dare to hurt you again!" Li Xulu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed deeply, advising him to understand that from the beginning to the end, Hong Fu never thought about it.
To marry herself, she only needs a proof, which proves that an abandoned woman whom no one would marry even if she comes to her door proves that it is not that she is contemptuous, but that some people are blind.
"Don't worry, I want to watch the sunset for a while!" Hongfu smiled, like a pear blossom bringing rain, "Ah, I also brought a gift for my eldest brother!" She suddenly became lively again, and said happily like a girl, turned around and ran to Qin
Beside the stool, he picked up a silk bag and threw it over
Li Xu is a person who is happy for other people's happiness and worried about other people's troubles. When he saw Hong Fu returned to normal, even though his proposal was rejected, his mood became lighter. He untied the leather rope tied to the silk bag and said scolding.
: "You weird girl, you're here when you come, why do you need to bring gifts?"
"I'm afraid my sister-in-law will blame me for not knowing etiquette!" Hong Fu stuck out his tongue playfully, stood beside Li Xu without any grudge, took the other person's hand, and sat side by side with him under the flower tree. Behind the piano bench, "This is
The account book, the account book used by the Turkic warriors to withdraw food and grass, I stole it after a lot of effort. Brother, do you think it is useful?"
Li Xu was shocked when he heard that. He turned to look at Hong Fu, his eyes filled with disbelief. "What did you do to steal the account book? You went to the outside of the Great Wall alone? No wonder you got hurt? Come back with me quickly, I'll ask the doctor to help."
You heal!”
"Didn't eldest brother tell me that you can deduce the number of enemies by looking at the amount of food and grass?" Hong Fu did not get up, but gently leaned his shoulder on Li Xu's shoulder, as if the other person was his biological brother and could be relied on with confidence.
"I don't know how to lead troops, and I might not be able to kill a few enemies when they are on the battlefield, so I went around the grassland and walked around Gutuolu. There were more than forty tribes following him. Which tribe suddenly had a milking slave girl?
No one will notice!"
"Nonsense!" Holding the heavy ledger, Li Xu didn't know what to say. The specific number of Turks and their followers was not very important to him, but he could feel the ancient saying in Hong Fuquanquan's heart.
It is the hardest thing to live up to the kindness of a beauty. The kindness that a beauty gives him is not just an overnight pleasure, but real help, respect and help.
"I know I'm a little willful in doing this, but Hongfu can do something within his ability. I'm very happy that since you are my eldest brother, I can't do nothing as a younger sister. I will be looked down upon by others, right?" Hongfu said softly.
Stretched and explained in a low voice
At this moment, the setting sun has disappeared in the sky, and the sunset shines the last ray of sunlight on the surrounding peach trees, making the entire peach forest look like a wildfire burning. The wind blows across the mountain, and the bright red petals fall down one after another, as if between heaven and earth.
A red rain fell. Looking at the endless flames burning between the sky and the earth, Hong Fu cleared his throat and sang in a low voice: "There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. Look at Qingren City and then look at Qingren Country.
