Ji Xunyue's heart was filled with monstrous waves, but seeing that Zhilou's face was filled with anticipation and sincerity, the turbulent mood gradually calmed down.

Sure enough, he didn't know what it meant.

While letting out a sigh of relief, an indescribable sense of loss pervaded the air again.

"Sister, do you like Zhilou's gift?"

"Happy, I like it..." Ji Xunyue squeezed the jade hairpin tightly and forced a smile.

"The first time I saw it, I thought of my sister, and I thought my sister would like it." Zhilou was in a state of excitement, but Ji Xunyue was in a trance, and he felt pain from the wound on his leg, and he turned and sat down again down.

The two arrow wounds hadn't healed yet, this time he let go of his worries and suddenly felt pain again, Zhilou pressed his ribs with one hand, the paleness on his face deepened a bit.

"What's the matter? Does the wound hurt?" Ji Xunyue saw that his expression was wrong, and immediately put aside the random things in his mind, his eyes were full of pity.

"It's unlucky too, that arrow doesn't have eyes either, why is it staring at me?"

The damned injury became inexplicably painful at this time, Zhilou gritted his teeth, but still pretended to be relaxed and joking.

Ji Xunyue frowned, and wanted to scold him for being heartless, but her heart was soft, so how could she be so cruel? She bit her lip and stared at him for a while, but she still couldn't help it. He said: "If the pain is severe, go back and rest." After thinking about it, I was still a little angry, "You too, why do you want to go to the battlefield at such a young age? Which sword has eyes? , this is no big deal, if it really hurts something vital, I think you are still poor!"

"My sister taught me that it was Zhilou's fault."

The pain passed, Zhilou heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of the hand on his ribs.

"I don't understand. Why do you have to go to that battlefield? Could it be that the holy king's powerful generals are like clouds, and you can't be missing?" Ji Xunyue was really scared. Although her tone couldn't be cruel, but Eye sockets turned red.

Unexpectedly, Zhilou fell silent after hearing this, lowered her head slightly, she didn't know what she was thinking, and couldn't see the expression on her face, Ji Xunyue's heart rose again, she was sensitively aware that Zhilou had something on her mind .

"My sister told me your story, but I haven't told my sister about mine yet." Zhilou slowly raised his head, his eyes were calm, but Ji Xunyue's words sounded inexplicable to Ji Xunyue pathos.

She knew that he was going to reveal his life experience to her.

"I said that I wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with my sister, but I have been reluctant to tell my sister about me. It's Zhilou's fault, but," Zhilou paused again, as if he was afraid of something, "It's just that Zhilou I hid something from my sister, and I was afraid that my sister would get angry, so I didn't say it for a long time, but I was afraid that if I dragged it on, Zhilou would not dare to tell my sister."

"What's the matter?" Ji Xunyue was a little curious, Zhilou had always treated her sincerely, and he might have some concerns about not telling her own affairs, but I don't know where this concealment came from.

"My sister should answer me first. If my sister gets annoyed when she finds out, she can just scold Zhilou. If she doesn't want to talk to Zhilou anymore, she can just say it. Zhilou won't, and she won't blame my sister."

These words sounded like a child's coquetry. Although Ji Xunyue became more and more curious, her heart was softened by these words, "Just say what you want, sister will not blame you."

"My surname is not Gu. In fact, I am of the sex category. Duan Zhilou, this name was chosen by my sister." Zhilou raised his head slightly, staring at one place, as if he was looking at something.He didn't tell Ji Xunyue what he was hiding from Ji Xunyue, but Ji Xunyue was not in a hurry and listened quietly.

"My father was the No. 30 scholar on the gold list [-] years ago. He was in full bloom. He was married by the emperor at that time as a princess. He was a glorious lintel. My father treated my mother with deep affection. The son who got it first died but did not accept it again. Concubine. Then I had my older sister again, and my father named her Zhiyue. Three years later, I had me again. Later, my father told me that the word Lou was taken by my sister who had just learned a few words. I thought it was good, so I used it as my name. My sister has a stable temper since she was a child, and my father is a master of Confucianism. Seeing that my sister is eager to learn, he taught me personally, but I can’t sit still. My father studied some books in the study, but he still didn't control my wild nature."

"My mother left when I was three years old, and my father resigned for some reason, and took me and my sister to live in Yangzhou. When I was eight years old, the peasants revolted and surrounded Yangzhou City. My father was an arrogant man at heart. Scholars, on the day the city was broken, they stood under the archway on the streets of Yangzhou, with tidy crowns and belts, pointing at Yang Zhixiao's army who entered the city and scolding them, those peasant soldiers, vulgar and rascals, actually cut my father, his... and die."

Zhilou's body trembled violently, tears were streaming down his originally calm face at some point, but he still stubbornly raised his head, biting his cheeks tightly.

Ji Xunyue's eyes didn't even feel red. Of course she knew how he felt, and because she knew it, she felt even more sorry for the boy in front of her. She almost couldn't help but stepped forward to hug him.

"That's what I found out later, but it was too late. The rebels rushed into my house, and my sister escaped with my protection, but those people, those people are nothing like beasts! They went around arresting young children, Especially the girls, for ten days, they captured almost all the girls in the city, even the six or seven-year-olds! Elder sister... Elder sister knew that there was no escape, so she..."

"Zhilou, my sister can't protect you anymore. You must protect yourself from now on. You have been active since you were a child. Although you are a daughter, you don't look like a girl in this body. My sister was worried before, but Now it seems that what you have learned can protect you, and my sister also believes that you can protect yourself. You heard from my sister that the bad guys outside are catching girls, and you will lie here later. Don't make a sound, wait until those people are gone, then go out, find a way to get out of the city, go to Hangzhou to find your uncle, he will settle you down. Zhilou, you heard clearly, you must not be discovered by them, if you are I found out that your clothes are like those of a boy, and they can't tell them apart. No matter what you beg them to do, you must get out alive! Zhilou, do you understand, you must live!"

Zhiyue, who is only 11 years old, hugged her younger sister tightly. She watched her grow up. They had no mother. Her father told her that she had to take care of her younger sister. As an older sister, she had the responsibility to replace her mother. take care of her!

The sound of footsteps outside the broken door approached, Zhiyue pushed Zhilou away, ignored her sister's crying, and said in an almost pleading voice: "Sister, please, Zhilou, you must protect yourself, and you must not be Discover!"

The door was kicked open, and several vicious men rushed in. They saw a girl with a delicate face at a glance, and their eyes lit up. Compared with those girls who are six or seven years old and haven't opened their eyes yet, I don't know how many times better.The leaders were greedy and wanted to catch those children who hadn't fully grown for the future, but everyone knew that a teenage girl like this was the spoils of war that could be used for meritorious service.

"This juicy girl looks really good-looking! Grandpa, I'm going to make a big contribution today!"

Zhiyue was trembling with fright, but she turned around and saw Zhilou lying behind her, pretending to be unconscious, and gritted her teeth to force herself to calm down.She knelt down with a plop, "Master, please wake up, my brother is sick, so please let him go, please let him go!"

The man glanced behind her, and there was a boy-like child curled up on the ground, his eyes were tightly closed, and his body was still shaking slightly. He didn't know if he was sick or something.Looking at the little beauty in front of her again, she grinned and said: "A boy is useless, little beauty, don't worry about your brother, you should worry about yourself!"

As he said that, the man grabbed Zhiyue and touched her face with rough hands, his face was full of greed, "What a good girl, Grandpa is reluctant to hand you over!"

"Brother Wang, this girl is indeed a treasure, you'd better bear with it, this General Chang is outside, if you leave it to him, you and I will get a lot of rewards!"

Several people laughed, the big man carried Zhiyue on his shoulders with all his strength, turned around and walked outside, no one cared about the huddled boy on the ground.

Zhilou opened her eyes suddenly, and she saw Zhiyue opened her mouth to herself, what she said was: Zhilou, alive.

The light outside the door was too glaring, she vaguely saw a smile on the corner of her sister's mouth.

"Zhilou, you are a girl, what are you doing with these sticks every day, no matter how naughty you are, Daddy will beat you again, and I will not protect you then!"

"Sister, good sister, didn't you say that you can do whatever Zhilou likes?"

"Then you can't go too far, you're going to get married in the future, who dares to ask you to learn these things?"

"They don't want me to stay with my sister for the rest of my life. Zhilou must become very powerful to protect my sister in the future, and no one can bully her."

"You silly boy."

Sister, Zhilou has grown up and become very powerful, have you seen it?

Sister, sister, don't you want Zhilou anymore, Zhilou really misses you so much.

Zhilou didn't speak for a long time, his upturned head lowered at some point, tears wet the front of his clothes without noticing, low sobs choked in his throat, one after another, with his body trembling violently with.For a long time, she didn't dare to close her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, the figure of Zhiyue in the backlight of the day would appear in front of her, with a smile on her lips, and disappear into the white light, never to be seen again.

Ji Xunyue's heart tightened with those sobs, she even forgot how surprised she was when she heard the words that revealed the truth just now, at this moment she only felt sorry for this man.She felt sorry for her forbearance, why she just sobbed instead of crying to release the pain in her heart, and felt sorry for her daughter's family who had to endure such a trick of fate...

That's why she said that she wanted to have a sister that day, and that's why she trusted herself so much, that's why she mentioned the word "monthly". Why didn't her sister call out to another person through her? It's just that People, can you hear me again?

Unable to hold back the pity in her heart anymore, Ji Xunyue got up and walked to Zhilou's side, reaching out to hug the body that was shaking more and more violently, she felt a pair of hands around her waist, through the material of the clothes, She could also feel the scorching heat of those tears, which was also her heart.

"Zhilou, Zhilou, cry out, don't hold back, please, don't hold back..."

She didn't know how long Zhilou had been suppressed, but she could imagine that a child who was forced to hide his identity should never have the opportunity to expose his pain to others.People are eager to tell, if there is no place to tell, then the pain will only accumulate in the heart, if time cannot make it forget, it will become a heart disease, there is no cure.

A muffled voice came out, and the sobbing turned into a low cry, not hoarse, but it broke my heart.
