Short story

Shen Zhige no longer entangled with the excitement just now, raised his eyes to look not far away, a touch of pure white loomed.

Approaching lightly, Shen Zhige finally saw the pure white, it was actually a snow fox!

Good luck, Shen Zhige smiled confidently, watched the snow fox move lightly to find the angle, until the snow fox was directly opposite, Shen Zhige raised his bow and arrow, aimed at the snow fox's eyes, drew the bow, let go, shoot!

When Shen Zhige returned to the village, the sky was also dark, and it always darkens so quickly in winter.

Liu Xi stood at the door looking around worriedly, of course she knew that Shen Zhige was good at martial arts, but she was always afraid of accidents.

From a distance, Liu Xi saw the thin figure of Shen Zhige at the end of the street.

After trotting a few steps to Shen Zhige's side, Liu Xi nervously looked around Shen Zhige, "Why are you back so late? Are you injured?"

Shen Zhige carried a bow and arrow on his back, and held two prey in each hand, he only comforted him aloud.

When the two returned home, Shen Zhige put the hare in the kitchen and passed the snow fox to Liu Xi as if he remembered something, "Good luck, I met this little thing on the mountain. This winter is cold, you should add A new coat to keep out the cold."

Liu Xi blinked blankly, looking at the snow fox in Shen Zhige's hand, a trace of joy spread in her heart, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, and she looked at Shen Zhige with sparkling eyes.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by Liu Xi, Shen Zhige turned his body, and retracted the snow fox again, and said to himself: "By the way, this needs to be dealt with, and I will send it to Zhang Orhu's house at the head of the village later. , ask him to help, and then sew it up, it can probably be made into a leather bag, or a cloak, whatever you like."

Liu Xi was surprised by Shen Zhige's long speech, she was always reticent, but seeing Shen Zhige's blushing ears, Liu Xi couldn't help laughing again.

After laughing, Liu Xi still refused, "No, I'd better give this leather to my father, it's enough for me, snow fox fur is so precious."

Shen Zhige frowned slightly, rolled up his collar, and ignored Liu Xi's words, "I'll go to Zhang Oru's house right now, ask him to deal with it, and bring it back to make leather with you."

It wasn't until Shen Zhige went out that Liu Xi came back to her senses. Her cold and tough attitude just now really scared Liu Xi, but when Liu Xi thought about it, she was brought out a little joy by Shen Zhige's rare domineering.

"Oh, you idiot, you still go to disturb others at such a late hour!" Liu Xi was startled, and regretted that she didn't stop Shen Zhige.

Not long after Liu Xi regretted it, Shen Zhige came back, but Xuehu was not in his hand, "It's late today, I can't finish it, I'll get it tomorrow."

Liu Xi patted Shen Zhige's clothes distressedly to get rid of the cold, "I really don't need it, let's give it to Dad!"

"I will go to the county to buy my father's warm clothes for him." Shen Zhige said displeasedly. Although she didn't bring much luggage when she came back, she brought all the money back. The money I saved in the past five years will be rewarded by Li Ren The silver is enough for the family to live a prosperous year.

The most important thing is how many years have you been wearing the clothes on Liu Xi? Shen Zhige still remembers that Liu's father would add new clothes to Liu Xi every time during the winter and New Year. .

Liu Xi kept silent for a while, and silently followed Shen Zhige into the bedroom, and was about to wash Shen Zhige's hands with water.

Having experienced not being able to wash up for days and nights on the battlefield, coupled with the guilt in his heart, Shen Zhige couldn't bear Liu Xi's service.

Liu Xi who was rejected could only watch from the sidelines, she didn't understand Shen Zhige anymore, obviously she was pampering herself like that before, but now she is alienated, which wife doesn't serve her husband?

Perhaps Liu Xi's lonely expression was too obvious, Shen Zhige found a reason in a panic and fled to the study.

After soaking his feet, his whole body was warm, and there was no stove in the study, Shen Zhige didn't feel cold, so he lit a candle and picked up a book to read.

Places like Xiaogu Village don’t have many activities at night. After all, they are poor, and they are reluctant to light candles for trivial matters. The husband and wife are fine, but the one alone can only sleep.

Liu Xi waited in the bedroom for a long time, but Shen Zhige still didn't come back, she couldn't help feeling sad, Shen Zhige left a month after the marriage, now she finally came back, and even ran to the study to hide from herself.

Some of the military households who went with him back then failed to come back, but his wife has already left him for him, and now he can make soy sauce!

As for herself, Liu Xi suddenly remembered what her mother had said, could it be that Shen Zhige is really...

The end of the new year is approaching, and the snow has arrived as scheduled, and it has filled the whole world one after another.

The snow fox fur that Shen Zhige hunted had already been made into a cloak, but Liu Xi hadn't used it much, so Shen Zhige went to the county town to buy winter clothes for his father-in-law and his daughter-in-law.

Liu Xi followed, and she wanted to buy fabrics and make them herself.

When he came back, besides the clothes and fabrics, he also had the wine bought by Shen Zhige.

That night, it was rare that there was no snow, and the moon was big and bright. Liu Xi was attracted by the figures in the yard when she glanced at it.

Shen Zhige was dressed in a black cotton coat, as if blending into the night sky, with one arm supporting the stone table, shaking the wine cup in his hand, he didn't notice Liu Xi's arrival.

After thinking about it, Liu Xi went back to the bedroom and took the snow fox cloak, and carefully covered Shen Zhige's shoulders.

"Erniang?" Shen Zhige looked up at Liu Xi with staring eyes.

"Well, it's cold, you want to... drink, go back to the house and drink?" Liu Xirou persuaded, she remembered that Shen Zhige was not good at drinking and didn't like drinking, did joining the army change so much?

"Cold? Is it cold? Last winter, I was going to ambush those savages. I lay down on the ground all night, but I didn't feel cold!" Shen Zhige retorted in a daze.

Liu Xi paused, she knew that joining the army was hard, but she really knew how hard it was, she still couldn't help it, and gently wrapped her arm around Shen Zhige, making Liu Xi feel so thin, "Okay, it's not cold, but I'm cold, can you accompany me back home?"

Helping Shen Zhige back to the bedroom, she must have drunk too much, her head resting on the bedside in a daze, Liu Xi brought her water to wash her feet and didn't object.

Shen Zhige's feet are very different from ordinary men's. Liu Xi still remembers her father's feet, which are very big, but Shen Zhige's feet are long and thin and well-proportioned. They are fair to the touch and smooth to the touch. foot.

Liu Xi looked at Shen Zhige's feet thoughtfully, took a handful of water and poured it on her feet, the water flowed down her fair feet and back into the basin, just like when she washed her feet.

Looking up at Shen Zhige again, the drunken woman did not have the cold and severe eyebrows and eyes of the past, and the thin red lips were opening and closing, mumbling something, with a rare childishness, very cute.

Liu Xi dried her hands, stood up straight and looked at Shen Zhige, before leaning forward slightly after a while, and took off Shen Zhige's hairpin.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, her red lips were slightly parted, her half-opened and half-closed eyes seemed to be shining with water, perhaps thinking of something interesting, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

Liu Xi stared at it blankly, so pretty...is it really a man?

Shen Zhige only felt that she had returned to the time when her father never came back, warm, happy, and free. She seemed to see her mother who died young, watching her tenderly.

Shen Zhige's sudden moaning made it difficult for Liu Xi to think, she...is she acting like a baby?

The red lips pursed slightly, but they couldn't hide the smile. It seemed that the only word to describe Shen Zhige was charming.

Liu Xi's eyes were dim, and she approached Shen Zhige unconsciously, so close that she stretched out her hand to caress Shen Zhige's long hair, so close that she touched Shen Zhige's thin lips slightly to one side.

Softness was Liu Xi's first feeling, but it seemed that it was not enough, so Liu Xi wrapped her arms around the back of Shen Zhige's neck, deepening the kiss.

Although Mother Liu taught Liu Xi the way of husband and wife, she didn't elaborate on kissing, so Liu Xi thought that kissing was just lips touching lips.

When she kissed for a long time and felt that she could do something else, Shen Zhige woke up.

Thanks to Liu Xi's technique, Shen Zhige was forced to wake up.

As soon as Shen Zhige woke up, he realized something was wrong, so he pushed Liu Xi away, Shen Zhige checked his clothes to make sure his daughter's body would not be found before looking at Liu Xi.

As for Liu Xi, she felt embarrassed only after being pushed away, Shen Zhige felt even more guilty when he saw her again, he lowered his head and remained motionless.

It is true that he drank too much wine, Shen Zhige is still a little dizzy now, she has not moved after looking at Liu Xi for a long time, Shen Zhige doesn't know what to do, but Liu Xi is like this, it must be because he has not discovered his identity.

"...It's getting late, go to bed." Shen Zhige still decided to expose the matter.
