Chapter 9 The ninth chapter is both sad and strong. The past is intoxicating and infatuated, and it is difficult to predict the present life

Luo Xiaohu closed his eyes, leaning against Yu Jiaolong's arms, the pain from the wound on his chest had gradually eased, he only felt waves of dizziness, like tiredness and weakness.In a daze, he felt a hand gently stroking back and forth on his shoulder, and what was conveyed to his heart was all kinds of love and tenderness.A feeling that had disappeared for many years suddenly reappeared in his heart... It was also the same night, after he was injured in a fight with a group of urchins, it was the same hand, the same stroking... He suddenly felt that everything seemed to be over. be compensated and satisfied.He moved his head to the embrace he was already leaning on, and with a childish smile on his lips, he fell asleep quietly.

But Yu Jiaolong kept her head down, silently watching Luo Xiaohu's surprisingly strong arms and pectoral muscles that were about to break apart, at his face that people never get tired of looking at, and at that unpredictable face. measured lips.She really couldn't believe that the man who was leaning against her arms at this moment was actually the leader of the horse bandits who crossed the desert, galloped across the grasslands, the officers and soldiers were frightened, and acted like a demon before the battle, but now he was as docile as a child.Is the evil spirit transformed into a child, or the evil spirit transformed into a child?Yu Jiaolong thought about it, and couldn't help stroking him gently with his hands.In an instant, a slight tremor was transmitted to my heart through my own hand.A gust of cool wind blew from the gap in the door, mixed with the smell of sweat and blood from the man, as well as the smell of the saddle and the fresh scent of the prairie, these familiar but unfamiliar smells, accompanied by the man The even breath entered her heart, causing her to arouse an uncontrollable ecstasy.In an instant, all the honor, respect, arrogance, and luxury disappeared, and what rose in her heart was: to protect him at all costs, to take care of him at all costs!She leaned her chin against the man's head, and fell into a long time of confusion.Gradually she also closed her eyes.

Night, immersed in two even breaths. A slight sound awakened Yu Jiaolong, she opened her eyes, a ray of light came through the crack of the door, it was already dawn.She felt a warm mass on her chest, and when she reached out to touch it, she touched a mass of fluffy fur.As if she had lost something precious, she suddenly stood up. At this moment, a soft voice came from outside the tent.Yu Jiaolong hurried to the door and listened carefully, it was an old man's voice: "Halimu came yesterday, why didn't you talk about your injury?" "It was injured on the road, and the skin was only broken. Don't worry, old man, it's okay." This was Luo Xiaohu's voice.Yu Jiaolong didn't know why, when the familiar voice just reached her ears, she couldn't help trembling in her heart, and felt hot on her face.This was not out of her pity and guilt for the man, but just because of that voice.

Yu Jiaolong gently opened the tent door, and she saw clearly: About twenty steps away, Luo Xiaohu was standing there face to face with an old man with white beard and eyebrows but a strong body, she already understood Now, this old man must be Delta's grandfather, Papa Budhawan. She saw Luo Xiaohu talking again: "What else did brother Halimu keep telling you?" Father Budhawang said: "He said that a single woman who died on the road stayed at my house the night before and was going to Dihua. I guess he would call here last night in case she ran into wolves. I was in the forest last night. Waiting for her, but she never came, maybe Damei left her behind, or lost her way, thinking about it all the time."

Luo Xiaohu looked back at the tent and said, "Old man, don't worry, the girl came here last night and is staying in your tent." Putting his hand on his chest, Father Budhawang bowed and said, "Thank God, it's all right!" Seeing this scene, Yu Jiaolong suddenly felt a clear spring flow into her heart. She seemed to see those herdsmen who coldly avoided her when they saw her in the past, welcoming them with smiles. The relationship between her and them has become close and familiar. Father Budhawang pointed to the curtain and said, "The tent is of course the den you built, and you also took care of those wolves."

Luo Xiaohu smiled, nodded, and said as if deliberately diverting the conversation: "Master, I entrusted my brothers to Brother Harimu, and asked them to disperse for a while to avoid the front. I still have some things to do." If you want to do it, you will enter the customs after finishing it, and if you don’t take revenge, you will never go back to Xijiang.” Budhawang's father was a little sad: "Revenge must be avenged, hatred must be revenged, but you go alone, I really don't feel relieved!" The two were silent for a while, and Budhawang's father said again: "We have a two-year period. If you don't come back by then, I will ask Harimu to go to the customs to find you."

Luo Xiaohu said passionately: "Master, I will come back! I will definitely come back! Xijiang has already fascinated me!" When Luo Xiaohu said the last sentence, his voice was a little hoarse.Father Budhawang looked at Luo Xiaohu kindly, feeling that he suddenly became like a baby.Just at this moment, a horse neighed not far away.Father Budhawang hurriedly looked back, and immediately cheered: "Ah, my little pink horse!" Then he let out a loud whistle from his mouth, and the little pink horse let go of its four hooves as if it had heard a call. Come over, lean against the old man, and keep rubbing his face and nose against the old man.Father Budhawang was also able to pat its neck with his hands, and said affectionately to himself: "Damei treats you as her heart, but she also gave away her own heart, we really want to see yours." What kind of person is the new owner!"

Yu Jiaolong could hear all this clearly and clearly, she couldn't stay in the tent any longer, opened the door, walked out, walked up to Father Budhawang, gave a deep salute, and said Voice: "Greetings to Grandpa!" Father Budhawang looked at her with a slightly surprised expression, only to feel that this beautiful bird flying in front of him was by no means a pheasant, but a phoenix.He also saw a kind of awe-inspiring brilliance from Yu Jiaolong's bright eyes.He compared her to Delta and could not find any resemblance between them.For a split second, he even suspected that the woman standing in front of him was not a flower fairy who cultivated flowers.Father Budhawang watched for a long time before he said to himself: "I hope Damei likes your heart, not your beauty!" After finishing speaking, he put his hands on his chest, lowered his eyes, and said blessings : "May Miss Chun have no disasters and difficulties in her life, and good luck!" Then, she turned around and walked to the depths of the grassland.

Luo Xiaohu who was standing on the side, when he heard the word "Chun girl" from Budhawang's father, he was stunned and looked at Yu Jiaolong vigilantly.When Budhawang's father walked away, he asked, "Why did you change your surname to Chun?" Yu Jiaolong gave him an annoyed look, and said, "You are only allowed to change your name, but I am not allowed to change my surname!?" Luo Xiaohu couldn't help laughing loudly, but the laughter stopped suddenly.Yu Jiaolong saw that he was covering his chest with his hands, his lips were tightly closed, and his face was pale, so she knew that he had caused the pain, so she hurried forward to help him, and reprimanded him with deep affection, "I didn't cause it myself." It hurts! Come, follow me back to the tent to raise her."

Luo Xiaohu frowned slightly, pushed Yu Jiaolong away, and walked towards the tent.Yu Jiaolong stayed there alone, she felt aggrieved for a while, and then felt a puff of anger gradually rising from her heart, but immediately her mother rang in her ears, "Follow the father at home, obey the husband when married, obey the son when the husband dies" As soon as he blushed, his anger disappeared immediately.When she saw Luo Xiaohu's slightly staggering figure disappearing into the tent, she gritted her teeth and quickly chased after him. Luo Xiaohu leaned on the leather blanket, looking a little tired.Yu Jiaolong knelt down and snuggled up beside him.She asked softly: "Is it hurting badly?" Luo Xiaohu didn't hum, just stretched out his thick palm and patted her lightly.Yu Jiaolong said regretfully, "I didn't mean it. Really, I didn't mean it."

Luo Xiaohu smiled and said, "I am too careless, and you are too cruel." Yu Jiaolong felt extremely wronged, and said: "It's not that you are cruel, it's that you are confused, so confused that you lost your mind, and you didn't want to miss it." As she spoke, she couldn't help crying in a low voice. Luo Xiaohu sat up, hugged Yu Jiaolong into his arms, wiped away tears for her, looked at her and blinked, the mocking eyes that she was familiar with appeared again. Yu Jiaolong couldn't help laughing through his tears, and buried his head in Luo Xiaohu's arms. After a long time like this, suddenly there was a long horse neighing from outside the tent, Yu Jiaolong stood up abruptly, listening vigilantly to the movement outside.Luo Xiaohu wanted to laugh out loud, but he held back.Said: "This is my horse barking, it wants to gallop again!" His voice was heroic and sad.After speaking, he walked out of the tent again. After a while, Yu Jiaolong heard Luo Xiaohu shouting from outside the tent: "Hey, come out for breakfast." Yu Jiaolong frowned, a little disgusted in her heart, and thought: "'Hey!' How is this decent?! It's a born village nature, and no one has ever called me that before!" Although she was unhappy, she Still went out. Luo Xiaohu has taken out the dry food that came with him from the saddle, including wheat cakes, potatoes, mutton, and a pack of half-dried raisins.He put these on the grass, and sat cross-legged, with his hands on his knees, as if waiting for a distinguished guest, with a very pious attitude.This is completely different from the drinking party that Yu Jiaolong saw on the lawn on the mountainside that night.The unhappiness that floated up in her heart just now disappeared quickly.She came over and sat down facing Luo Xiaohu. Only then did she feel that she was really hungry, so she ate with relish. The sun has risen from the edge of the grassland.A thin layer of mist was laid against the ground of the prairie, and it looked like a boundless sea of ​​clouds. The two horses grazing freely not far away seemed to be standing on the clouds. The scenery was amazing. After a while, the fog dissipated, revealing a vast grassland again.Although the sun is shining in the east, the surrounding fields are still vast.At this time, Yu Jiaolong didn't feel lonely at all. The feeling of walking alone at the foot of the mountain in the night forest two or three days ago, longing to see people and being close to the crowd, was completely gone now and here.What's even more strange is that she was afraid of seeing the cooking smoke, lest someone would break in.She would rather just sit beside Luo Xiaohu like this, for the rest of her life, until she turns white. Luo Xiaohu lay on the grass with his eyes closed leisurely.Yu Jiaolong silently pulled the grass and played.Luo Xiaohu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the sky and asked her: "What if I was stabbed to death by you last night?" Yu Jiaolong picked up a handful of sand from the ground where the weeds were pulled, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I'll just bury you here." At the same time, the sand fell on Luo Xiaohu's body.He also said: "I will bury you with my own hands like this, and then I will keep my filial piety for you." After saying this, tears filled her eyes. Luo Xiaohu also said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I will drag you to the underworld to be a husband and wife." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and dragged her to his side.Yu Jiaolong blushed, broke free from his hand, sat up, looked around, and said, "How decent is it in broad daylight!" Luo Xiaohu said indifferently: "I dare say that there is no one within ten miles around here." Yu Jiaolong said seriously: "There is a blue sky and a land here, how can I be indecent!" Her dignified demeanor made her suddenly become the daughter of the Yufu. There was an unbearable silence. In this short moment, although the two bodies were still so close, they both felt alienated. Yu Jiaolong smoothed her temple hair with her hands, and said, "Who did you learn martial arts from?" Luo Xiaohu said casually: "I don't have time to learn from anyone, I just ask for a little." Yu Jiaolong: "It's no wonder that your sword skills are messy, and you can't see the tricks and ways. If you can learn a few sets of superb sword skills, plus your arm strength, you will be able to do what Huo Qubing said, 'with three thousand horses It's running rampant." Luo Xiaohu said in a contemptuous tone: "Who is Huo? No one has ever mentioned him in the Jianghu! I only need three hundred cavalry to run the world." Yu Jiaolong almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold back, a trace of embarrassment and shame came to her heart. Luo Xiaohu added: "When we fought that night, the sword technique you used was really amazing, it was so dangerous that it was unpredictable. Show me the dance again, maybe I can figure out some knife paths. "Yu Jiaolong readily agreed, got up and went into the tent, took out the sword, stood ten steps in front of Luo Xiaohu, and said: "Look good! "As soon as the sword is lit, it starts to dance. I saw the jade jiaolong sometimes standing tall, sometimes rubbing in, suddenly like an eagle hitting the sky, suddenly like a dragon rising from a deep pool, slow sword, tight sword, there is reality in the virtual, and in the real Youxu, flying and jumping, at first he could still discern the path of the sword, but later the sword became tighter, it was like a ball of bright flowers, and his whole body flashed his tongue. Luo Xiaohu was stunned, and when he reached the point of tension, he couldn't help clapping his hands to cheer him up. Big cheers. Yu Jiaolong danced the whole set of swordsmanship until she put away her sword and stood still.She looked at Luo Xiaohu with a little coquettishness and asked: "Do you think there is a flaw?" Luo Xiaohu showed surprise on his face, stared at Yu Jiaolong for a while before answering the question: "I can see that your sword skills and Uncle Gao's sword skills must be of the same origin." Now, it was Yu Jiaolong's turn to be surprised.She opened her eyes wide: Luo Xiaohu was able to see that her swordsmanship was in the same line as Teacher Gao's, which she did not expect.After being surprised, she felt an unspeakable sense of relief, which swept away the sense of shame just now. Luo Xiaohu seemed to understand suddenly, and said: "I just don't understand where Mr. Gao got such superb martial arts, but you taught them. Who did you learn your martial arts from? Two years ago, you were taught by Barger." When you are bullying, you can't even control such a weasel!" Yu Jiaolong hurriedly asked: "How did you know that Gao...you and I are from the same bloodline?" Luo Xiaohu smiled heartily, and said: "I, Luo, grew up facing sharp blades. In hundreds of slashings, three swords exchanged two lives. I have seen so many, how can I not see through it." Yu Jiaolong felt relieved again.She asked again: "On the lawn that night, I heard you mention that Uncle Gao's name is Gao Yuanju, why is it changed to Gao Yunhe now?" Luo Xiaohu said: "There are always difficulties for him to change his name, just like me and you. However, he is the same as you and me, a good person." Yu Jiaolong's face turned slightly red.He asked again: "Who are you, Mr. Gao?" Luo Xiaohu said: "Benefactor." This slightly hoarse voice was full of gratitude and affection.The memory of the past brought up in him, and suddenly his expression became melancholy.Yu Jiaolong has sensed the pain in the heart of the person in front of her, and her heart is filled with pity.She stuck her sword on the ground, walked over slowly, leaned close to his shoulder, and said softly: "Tell me all about your life experience, and I will share your worries and sorrows!" The two of them sat down side by side, Luo Xiaohu squeezed Yu Jiaolong's hand tightly in his palm, gritted his teeth and snorted, and said: "I have no worries, no sorrows, I only pretend to be hatred and hatred! ..." Then he told about a tragedy that happened to his family twelve years ago: he was only eight years old at that time.His father, Luo Hongyuan, was also a scholar. Zhou's family was poor, and he found a job as a pawn in the Cangzhou yamen, so his family moved from the countryside of Cangzhou to the city of Cangzhou.His mother, Mrs. Zhang, was gentle and virtuous, and she was born with a unique beauty.One day, his father went to the yamen to stay overnight, and suddenly it was snowing heavily. His mother went into the yamen to deliver cotton clothes, and was seen by the grandson of the state official.Unexpectedly, Sun Renzhong had evil intentions and sent people to invite her mother into the yamen to have a banquet with his family many times under excuses, but his parents refused.Sun Jing became angry because of this, and secretly harbored evil intentions, intending to win.At this moment, just as a well-known robber who was waiting to be executed escaped from the prison, Sun Renzhong framed his father for collusion, tortured him overnight to extract a confession, and actually put his father to death.When his mother heard the bad news, her expression suddenly changed. She expected to escape the poison, she called him to her eyes, hugged him and wept bitterly, told him to take good care of his siblings, remember the bloody feud, and said a few words: "I can't let your father be humiliated in the ground, and your brothers and sisters be humiliated in the world!" After shouting "Heaven" three times, he rushed out of the room and threw himself into the well.The three brothers and sisters felt sorry for him, they could only lie down by the well and howl and cry bitterly.Neighbors in the neighborhood, everyone is afraid of Sun Renzhong's power, fearing that he will be burned, who would dare to take care of him, and his siblings will be alone and helpless, and they will be shocked and changed dramatically. On the same street, there was a one-armed Qin Qi who made a living driving mules and horses. He was often cared for by his parents, so he was lonely by nature. Although he was often favored by his family, he seldom visited his house.Just on the third day after his family suffered a catastrophe, Qin Qi came back from other places. After hearing the news, he immediately rushed to his house and recruited a few poor friends of his from the mules and horses to pick up his mother's body and Go to the state government office to take out his father's body and send it to Guanshan outside the city for burial.Seeing Qin Qi being so righteous, the neighbors were touched by him, and some people boldly gathered in front of his house to talk about the state officials.Qin Qi made a generous statement in public, vowing to avenge his family, and some friends from the mules and horses persuaded him, saying that with only one arm, he might not succeed, and he should focus on caring for his orphans first.Unexpectedly, this incident provoked another Tao Tuo.This Tao Tuo is a domineering man, and he opened a whole-German bodyguard company in the city, specializing in befriending some exiled people from all corners of the country. Pa.Tao Tuo heard that Qin Qi had come forward to fight for his family, but for some reason he suddenly became annoyed, and personally led several escorts to intervene and provoke.Qin Qi went forward to argue with him, and seeing that violence was about to be used, several friends from the Mule and Horse Company feared that Qin Qi would suffer, so they dragged him away desperately.Tao Tuo left angrily.A few days later, a teacher named Liang Chaofu in the yamen secretly came to inform him because he had been very good friends with his father during his lifetime, saying that his grandson Zhong had invited Tao Tuo to the yamen for secret talks every day. His brother and sister secretly plotted to kill the grass and roots, so as to avoid future troubles.Father Liang Chao discussed with Qin Qi and decided to send his brother and sister away from Cangzhou to find a way out. He was determined to avenge his parents and refused to leave Cangzhou even if he died. , Sometimes stay out all night.Qin Qi had no choice but to send his younger siblings to Liang Chao's father, and Liang asked someone to send them to Shandong.At that time, he was in a daze all day long, wanting to cry but not crying, he only wanted to fight with his grandson Zhong to the death, and he didn't care about the whereabouts of his younger siblings.One night, while he was in a dream, suddenly a fire broke out everywhere in the room, the flames rose into the air, and the room was filled with thick smoke. He woke up from the dream, unable to open his eyes and gasp for breath. At the critical moment, Qin Qi came rushing in with fire and smoke, held him under his arm with one arm, jumped out from the back window, kicked down the wall, and fled from the back alley.He hid in Guandi Temple until dawn, and then went out of the city and went straight to Jiaohe. On the way, Qin Qicai told him that it was Tao Tuo who set the fire. He and Qin Qi endured hunger and cold all the way, relying on begging for a living.One day, when they came to Gaojia Village outside Jiaohe, it was snowing heavily and they were suffering from hunger and cold. Thanks to Gao Yuanju, they were taken in and provided with clothes and food.When Gao Yuanju knew what happened to his family, he was even more indignant and generous, deeply held the injustice, and wrote his life experience into a song to let him remember this hatred forever. After living in Gao's house for more than a month, one day Qin Qi came back from Jiaohe City and told him that he saw Cangzhou policemen and Tao Tuo's bodyguards in the city drinking in a tavern with weapons hidden around them. , sent people to hunt them down. He followed Qin Qi to leave Gao's house in a hurry and ran towards Fucheng.Unexpectedly, when they reached the Wanshou Bridge, the police and several escorts had already rushed from behind.Qin Qi put his heart on hold, pulled out his dagger, and urgently told him to cross the bridge and escape, while standing alone at the bridge head, ready to fight to the death.Under Qin Qi's repeated urgent urging and even scolding, with tears in his eyes, he ran across the bridge and turned around the forest slope, just happened to be that there was a bullock cart pulling a cart of fodder on the road over there.Taking advantage of the driver's unawareness, he climbed up to Feng gently from behind, got into the grass, and walked towards the bridge again.As soon as they arrived at the bridge, the ox cart stopped suddenly, and the exclamation of the driver, the sound of angry shouts on the bridge, the sound of blades slamming and screams could be heard.He pulled out the hay and took a look, and saw Qin Qi was covered in blood, waving his one arm, fighting with four people.Two people were cut down on the bridge, and then another person was injured by Qin Qi. At this moment, Qin Qi was also stabbed twice. He shook a few times, and seemed to be shouting something, and slowly fell slowly... When Luo Xiaohu spoke up to this point, his eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't speak any more.Yu Jiaolong leaned against his arm, sobbing softly.Whether it was sympathy for Luo Xiaohu, or Qin Qi's righteousness, she couldn't figure it out herself.She never imagined that this kind of feat, which is only seen among loyal ministers and righteous men in books, can also happen among such small people in the market. Luo Xiaohu paused for a moment and continued: "What I will never forget the most is that after Grandpa Qin fell down, he still raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the bridge head, as if to see if I had run far away! " Yu Jiaolong swallowed, "You must have been beyond their expectations. You crouched in the hay and came back to the other side of the bridge with the cattle prison." Luo Xiaohu nodded.Yu Jiaolong asked anxiously: "What happened next?" Luo Xiaohu: "I escaped from the tiger's mouth like this, wandering around, letting cattle and horses for others, learning art for teachers, crossing the Yellow River, and breaking through the Guandong. Firstly, because I was poor, secondly, because of my stubborn nature, I was always bored and couldn't stay. Long. When I was fifteen years old, I was already strong and strong. I wanted to go back to Cangkan for revenge, but I heard that Sun Renzhong had been transferred to Hubei. I went to Shandong to find the whereabouts of my younger siblings. For three years, I traveled all over the country. I didn’t even hear any news about the whole of Shandong. On the way back to Cangzhou, I encountered a government conscription to go to Mongolia to release a horse. I was taken into custody. Brother, I killed the horse official at night, stole the official horse, and fled to the western border." Yu Jiaolong said "ah" and said, "You have committed treason!" Luo Xiaohu said angrily, "Then what crime did Sun Renzhong commit?" Yu Jiaolong: "The king's law is selfless. Although Sun Renzhong is a state official, since he has broken the law, he should be guilty of the same crime as the common people. It's just that you have become a criminal, so it is difficult to sue him." Luo Xiaohu hummed twice, and said coldly: "The imperial court has the royal law of the imperial court, and I, Luo, also have my royal law, that is my sword and horse!" Yu Jiaolong couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, he pulled away the body that was close to Luo Xiaohu, opened his eyes wide and looked at Luo Xiaohu, it was the same man and the same face last night, but his expression changed, and his whole body was covered with a The air of autumn suspense. Yu Jiaolong thought: "There is no reason to use swords and horses to replace Wang Fa! I also have swords and horses, so can I also replace Wang Fa?!" Luo Xiaohu raised his head slightly, staring at the distance of the grassland, his expression changed from Qiu Su to sadness, and slowly, he sang the song again in a low voice: "The sky is blue, the land is vast, and there is no reason to cause Xiao Qiang. My father died under unjust punishment, my mother threw herself into a well out of hatred, and my younger brother was named Leopard and sister named Yan, who fled and was scattered in a foreign land. He used righteousness to care for the lonely Qin Qi, and sacrificed his life to help the danger. The grandson Ren Zhong with a human face and a beast heart, will never forget his bloody feud. "The singing sounded with the breeze and scattered across the grassland. Yu Jiaolong suddenly felt pity. Right next to her, such an imposing seven-foot man had experienced so much suffering in the world. It's hard to imagine what he was like." She survived. The scene of him crying by the well when he was a child flashed in front of her eyes; the panicked look of waking up from the fire in the middle of the night; the situation of being hungry and cold in the snowstorm; Seeing the feeling of Qin Qi's tragic death... Wisdoms of pain and affection, pity and love spontaneously rose in her heart, she turned sideways and hugged Luo Xiaohu's arm in her arms, resting her cheek on his shoulder Rubbing gently on her arm, pouring all her tenderness into it. At this moment, Yu Jiaolong is so beautiful. The grassland is quiet, and there is not a single bird in the sky. The whole world belongs to them. Unknowingly, a wisp of faint green smoke rose from the grassland.Luo Xiaohu noticed it immediately.He broke free from Yu Jiaolong's hug and stood up, pointing to the wisp of green smoke and said, "That's the signal from Father Budhawang, there are officers and soldiers appearing over there." He looked back at Yu Jiaolong, There was a strange look in his eyes, which included the taunt Yu Jiaolong was familiar with, but also the vigilance she had seen before. Yu Jiaolong was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "I'm here, don't worry!" Luo Xiaohu said: "I'm not afraid of them. It's just that I don't want to meet them here. You can get on the horse and run diagonally to meet them. You and I are done for this, it's time to break up." His last two sentences were full of sentimentality, and his expression couldn't help but look a little sad. Yu Jiaolong tilted her head and said capriciously: "I won't go, I will go with you." Luo Xiaohu asked in surprise: "Follow me?!" Yu Jiaolong stared at him stubbornly, nodded, and said, "I want you to send me to Dihua." Luo Xiaohu hesitated for a while, and then said tenderly: "Okay. Let's start now." In just a moment, Luo Xiaohu had everything in order.The two of them got on their horses and rode southward. Luo Xiaohu's dark horse, Jishenjun, gradually left Yu Jiaolong and her little flower horse behind after running very far.Yu Jiaolong is a very strong person, she keeps whipping, but still can't catch up with the big black horse, she gets angry, she blames the little flower horse for not being able to live up to expectations, she simply slows down her pace; let the little flower horse fall far behind; Looking at Luo Xiaohu's back with resentment.Luo Xiaohu, who was already far away from a stone's throw away, suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards Yu Jiaolong. His vigorous and vigorous posture on the horse and his vigorous spirit made Yu Jiaolong admire and fall in love with him.Her resentment disappeared instantly, and she couldn't help but looked at Luo Xiaohu and smiled.Luo Xiaohu rode up to her side, stretched out his strong arms, hugged her gently, put her on the horse, let her sit in front of the saddle, and said to her: "Every time I fight with my brothers, I will fight with you." My horse always rushes ahead, this temper can't be changed for a while, don't mind!" Yu Jiaolong leaned against him halfway and asked, "How far is it from Dihua? When will we arrive?" Luo Xiaohu said: "There are still more than a hundred miles. The horse will arrive soon, and the horse will arrive before dark." Yu Jiaolong begged him, "It's fine if you arrive before dark...you are hurt..." Luo Xiaohu said: "I am strong, so this injury is nothing." Yu Jiaolong moaned softly, and said with some sadness: "You are so stupid! You and I only have such a fate." Luo Xiaohu slowed down his horse, and said in silence for a long time: "The fate is short, it's our destiny, don't blame me for being forced to be reckless, just blame you for being born in the Hou family by mistake." Yu Jiaolong suddenly became excited, and said: "General Xiangning has kindness, and it depends on the person. With your strength and bravery, if you go to the frontier to join the army, within three years, you will be able to become a thousand generals. Once there is something wrong in the frontier, It's not difficult to be promoted to a guerrilla. As long as you can find a job as a guerrilla, you can marry me." Luo Xiaohu sighed, and said, "Joining the army to serve the country is a manly thing. It's just that I have a big vengeance, so I can't help it now." Yu Jiaolong said eagerly: "If you can make meritorious deeds, you will definitely be awarded by the royal family. At that time, it will be easier to take revenge if you file a petition." Luo Xiaohu remained silent.Yu Jiaolong turned her head and stubbornly asked him to agree.Luo Xiaohu couldn't bear to show her affection, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will make a three-year agreement with you. If I don't agree within three years, you can break this relationship once and for all!" After hearing what he said, Yu Jiaolong felt sore in his heart, couldn't help sobbing, and said intermittently: "My affection for you will never be cut off. My heart has been promised to you... I will wait for you." You... wait until you die..." Luo Xiaohu had never endured such tenderness in his life, he really felt more flustered than being besieged by thousands of officers and soldiers.He just felt as if he was bound by a thousand ropes. Neither of them said a word, they just cuddled each other tightly, one of the horses walked slowly, and before they knew it, they had already walked out of the grassland, and sparse woods and cottages appeared not far in front of them. Luo Xiaohu said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Ah, Dihua is coming soon." Yu Jiaolong, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, was startled suddenly, sat upright, smoothed his temple hair with his hands, and said: "It's still early, how about Get off your horse and rest." So, Luo Xiaohu jumped off the horse and carried Yu Jiaolong down.He held her shoulders with both hands and watched her intently.A blush appeared on Yu Jiaolong's face, and a lock of fine black velvet hair hung down her cheeks, and those eyes, which were like pools of water, contained joy and sadness, but they sent out tenderness. Yu Jiaolong gently broke away from Luo Xiaohu's hand, walked to the little flower horse, took off the sword, untied the bun on his head, cut off a strand of black silk with the sword, turned around and came to Luo Xiaohu, and handed the blue silk to him , said: "Although it does not understand people's minds, it comes from the body, let it accompany you, and follow you to the end of the world!" Luo Xiaohu took Qingsi, tied it into a knot, and carefully put it into his arms.He also took out a small leather bag from the saddle, handed it to Yu Jiaolong, and said, "There is a small bow in this bag, which was made by myself when I was twelve years old. It is easy to carry and can be fired repeatedly. I use It has killed countless jackals and shot many eagle doves. I have been with me for eight years and have never left my body. Take it and store it well. If you see me, it may be of some use to you.” Yu Jiaolong took out the small bow and saw that the bow was no more than seven inches long. There was a movable quiver on the back of the bow. There were ten small arrows in the tube, and the arrowheads were extremely sharp.After Luo Xiaohu taught her the essentials of how to use it, he said, "You are ingenious, you just need to practice." Yu Jiaolong couldn't put it down, pondering carefully.She stared at the arrowhead for a while, and said thoughtfully: "This thing is more than enough for shooting foxes and rabbits, but it is not enough for shooting people. It can only be fatal unless it hits the throat. It needs to be able to hit a barb on the arrowhead. It's even worse." Luo Xiaohu said: "I only use it to shoot and hunt, and I have never used it to shoot people. To compete for power in the world, a man with a bright sword and a bright gun is considered a good man." Yu Jiaolong just smiled, carefully put the leather bag away, and stopped talking about bows and arrows. The sun had already set in the sparse forest, and the two of them saw that it was getting late, so they had no choice but to mount their horses and move forward.After walking for about half an hour, there was a lush forest not far ahead, and a mountain peak stood in the forest, and a corner of the temple's eaves was faintly exposed on the peak. Luo Xiaohu pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "That's where the Red Temple is. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole city of Dihua." Yu Jiaolong suddenly had a lot of thoughts, and couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy. Entering the woods, the sky is almost dusk, and the setting sun shines through the thin branches, dyeing the whole forest with sadness. Walking through the woods, Luo Xiaohu reined in his horse and said to Yu Jiaolong, "Dihua is ahead, I should break up with you." With tears in her eyes, Yu Jiaolong said sadly, "I'll wait for you until I die. The day you succeed will be the end of our reunion." After she finished speaking, she bit her lip and insisted on him, "Go away!" , I want to see you off." Luo Xiaohu turned the horse's head, turned around and said: "The two hearts will not change, there will be a period later!" With a whip, the horse galloped towards the forest.Only a string of crisp hooves echoed in the quiet woods. Yu Jiaolong stared blankly at Luo Xiaohu's going back, and murmured: "Could it be a dream?!" It wasn't until Luo Xiaohu disappeared that she turned around, and what suddenly appeared in front of her were the lights of thousands of families in Dihua City.From the flickering lights, she saw the world again and felt honored again.She couldn't help sighing: "This is really a dream!"
