Tang Xuan

The door was opened from the outside, and the person who came in was wearing bunts and holding a wooden barrel in his hand.The hot air in the bucket made it hard to see her eyes clearly.With such a heavy wooden barrel, she didn't have any difficulty walking while holding it, and she lifted her hind feet and closed the door with a flick.

The visitor smiled and said, "Here comes the hot water."

Sitting on the small bench was a young girl with loose long hair, a lake-colored round-neck bearded jacket with a right lapel, and a slender waist bent over to take off her boots.Lying at her feet was a fiery red fox with its fluffy tail curled up. When it saw someone coming in, it stood up on thin legs and showed its kindness to her.

"Brother Huai, I'm still not used to seeing you dressed up like this." The girl sitting on the seat murmured coquettishly and coquettishly.

These two are naturally Ming Da and Lang Huai who escaped from Chang'an.They wandered all the way, and it took nearly half a month to reach the foot of Mount Hua.It would be impossible to go up the mountain immediately, so Lang Huai drove to find a village and town, and stayed in a family's house.

Putting down the wooden barrel, Lang Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's convenient."

"But this is not like a general, but like a servant." Mingda teased, Lang Huai raised his eyebrows, ignored her, took out the handkerchief from his luggage and brought it to her, and said with a smile: "Wash it clean. I'm afraid I won't be able to come down for ten days and a half months, but I have nowhere to bathe you."

Mingda took the handkerchief, Lang Huai had already picked up the Firefox and turned around to the door, she whispered: "Just wipe it off, I'll wait outside, don't worry."

The door creaked open and closed again.Lang Huai took two steps, sat down on the steps, took out some butchers from his pocket, and fed them to the hungry fox.

Through the door and window, only the tip of her bun can be seen, shaking slightly with the master's movements.Mingda looked bewildered, threw the handkerchief into the barrel, stood up and unbuttoned his clothes.

In the countryside, there is no such luxurious soup pond as in Chang'an City, so you can only rely on the hot water of this wooden barrel to wash it clean.Mingda tied her long hair behind her head with a ribbon, picked up the veil and silently cleaned herself.

The handkerchief is made in the palace, with velvet, it is most refreshing to scrub after soaking in water.However, when he touched his chest, waist and abdomen, Mingda's expression froze, and he stubbornly scrubbed back and forth until his skin became red and swollen.

Now Lang Huai will no longer hug him and kiss him intimately like before, Mingda's heart is sour, and he suddenly shed tears.

She showed her intimacy many times, but was pushed away by herself.Time and time again, Lang Huai became discouraged and lazy, and his words remained the same, but he rarely made out with her again.Mingda's heart was at a loss, he was at a loss, and he had nightmares every night, and he couldn't live in peace.

After staying away from Chang'an, she felt happier.During the day, he pretended to be the same as before, just to prevent Lang Huai from worrying too much.The DPRK-China situation was on the verge of breaking out, so she didn't know that Lang Huai was taking her out of Beijing to relax at this moment, almost as if he wanted a beauty instead of a country.This kind of deep affection used to only feel joyful, but now it feels heavy, and I don't know how to deal with it.

The water cooled down, and Lang Huai's voice came from outside the door, with concern, but also hiding a trace of uncertainty: "Si? The water should be cold, are you alright?" This man could come in just by pushing the door, but he just stood Taking a step away, not leaning in, only letting people look at her straight figure made Mingda feel more tender.

"Okay." Mingda shook his head, temporarily suppressed those chaotic thoughts, and quickly picked up a robe and put it on.Lang Huai opened the door and came in. Under the shadow of the lamp, he saw that she was only wearing a robe, revealing her snow-skinned wrists, and a thin chain made of silver thread dangled from her slender ankle, which was too beautiful to behold.Lang Huai couldn't help his mind fluttering, and forced himself to calm down: "Go and lie down and don't get cold." After saying that, he whistled to Firefox, and Firefox jumped onto the small stool in the room, curled up in a ball, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lang picked up the wooden barrel in his arms, and went out to change another barrel, but it was not hot water, but fresh well water.She only wiped her upper body, changed into a thin undergarment, and then put on a round-neck jacket, and went to lock the door with her shoes on.

"Brother Huai, when you were in Anxi, how did you take a shower?" Mingda asked her. Mingda was used to her scrubbing in cold water all the way, but he couldn't help being curious.

Lang Huai smiled, took off his shoes and went to bed, lay down obediently, and said: "Mr. Zhu has been following in secret, regardless of hot or cold water, wash it when you have a chance, and wipe it if you don't have a chance."

"I heard that Mount Hua is extremely dangerous, can we go up?" Mingda turned his head and looked into Lang Huai's eyes.

"You have to go to find out." Lang Huai also knew the dangers of Huashan Mountain, but she had a lot of knowledge and didn't take that mountain seriously at all, saying: "The road is taken step by step, and the mountain is climbed little by little. There will always be time. "

"That's reasonable." Ming Da relieved his heart and said with a smile, "It's just that you take me with you, I'm afraid you'll have to hang around on the mountain for a while."

Lang Huai turned sideways involuntarily, Mingda was right in front of her eyes, but seemed far away.Xu Shi was about to leave the world completely tomorrow, Lang Huai was unavoidably a little uneasy, he stretched out his left hand, carefully holding Mingda's cold right hand, he was speechless for a while.

Not drunk, Mingda pursed his lips and remained silent.Lang Huai's palm was warm and dry, and the thin calluses on his fingertips were hard, but not aggressive.Her hands were gradually warmed up, and they were no longer cold.But after noticing Lang Huai's slight movement, Mingda swiped his palm back.

"It's getting late, we have to go up the mountain tomorrow, go to sleep." She turned over and refused to face Lang Huai, pretending to close her eyes, and was about to force herself to fall asleep, but found that Lang Huai, who would always be polite in the past, approached , stretched his long arms, and his back was already leaning against her chest.

Lang Huai hugged the flustered girl through the quilt, impatiently, kissed her hair, and said with a sigh: "Then hide from me again, just a bed, do you want me to sleep on the floor?"

"I'm not..." Mingda still wanted to defend himself, but Lang Huai tapped her cherry lips with his thumb, and said softly, "Hush, go to sleep."

This person's embrace has always been stable, Mingda was reluctant to leave, so he could only lie down in a compromise and not move around.Her mind gradually became blurred, and she finally let go of her guard and fell asleep peacefully.

After all, Huashan's danger is not popular, Lang Huai secretly sighed, hugging her with his arms loosely, and gradually fell asleep.

After depositing the carriage and the horses at the borrowed family, the two packed their bags and set off.I don't know when I will go down the mountain. Lang Huai mostly brings dry food butchers.The venison prepared before leaving Beijing was the best food this time.

In the past, Lang Huai always tried to be safe, but this time he really acted recklessly. He only asked for a way to go up the mountain, and rushed into the mountain with Mingda.

"White Tiger Tongyi" contains: "The west is for scratching, Shaoyin is used, and everything is blooming, so it is called Huashan." Looking at it, it looks like a flower."

King Ping of Zhou moved to the east, and Huashan was in the west of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, so it was called Xiyue.After Qin Shihuang made his first sacrifice to Mount Hua, the titles increased.In the second year of the Empress Shenlong, the Empress sacrificed at the Xiyue Temple at the foot of the mountain.Emperor Ming's original destiny was Huashan, and it was opened for eight years. The emperor and empress went to Huashan to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen.However, through the great efforts of the past dynasties, only a few stone steps have been opened, and some places are difficult to climb. These stone steps are also intermittent, hidden among the rocks.As for the top of the peaks, there is no way to go.

The two of them entered from the north, they didn't feel it at first, but after walking for half a day, they realized the difficulty of the place.Lang Huai was afraid that Mingda would not be able to keep up physically, so he deliberately indulged in the scenery and walked slowly.And Firefox jumps up and down, as if this is its home appearance, and comes back with unknown wild fruits in its mouth from time to time, giving Ming Dalang and Huai a taste.

After such a day, before reaching the halfway up the mountain, the road is already difficult to walk. The stone steps excavated are new and old, intermittent and abnormally steep.Looking back from the side, the road I came from was hidden among the trees, and I couldn't see it anymore.

Lang Huai looked at the sun and said, "Let's take a rest and leave tomorrow at dawn, how about?"

Mingda panted heavily, nodded and said: "Okay." Thanks to her good health, otherwise she might not be able to make it this way.

Lang Huai found a flat boulder, led Mingda over there, and then relied on his superb skills to pick up some dry firewood in the forest and lit a bonfire.

There is no one in the mountains, only the wind blows the leaves.As the sky gradually darkened, the fox's eyes glowed, scratching his ears and cheeks at Lang Huai's feet, and squeaked twice towards the distant forest.

"You want to go too?" Lang Huai had also seen Hu people raise eagles and tame wolves, and she understood after a little thought, "Lieutenant Huai probably wants to go hunting in the forest, Si, are you sure? "

Mingda was taken aback, called Firefox, stretched out his hand to grab its ears, and asked in disbelief, "Can it work?"

"The nature of all things, even if it grows up with us, it probably will." Lang Huai turned over the bonfire in his hand, and stewed rice in a small pot hanging between the branches of the tree, "Let it go."

Mingda grabbed Firefox's ear, mumbling something, let go of his hands, gestured, and said, "Go, go, come back earlier!"

Firefox psychic, circled a few times in place, and then gradually disappeared without a sound.Although Mingda let it go, he was still worried, frowned and said, "If there is any danger, we can't save it, what should we do?"

The fragrance of rice gradually dissipated, Lang Huai took out the hidden spring and put it by his hand.She said: "Tibetan occasionally tames wild wolves, which are really useful for hunting. As for falcons, they are even more powerful."

Soon it was dark, and the huge mountain was now just a black shadow, dotted with stars, with a half-curved crescent moon, hanging on the edge of the curtain, looking like a good painting.There were gradually more noisy voices in my ears, and some green light spots appeared in the forest, bright and dark. They were beasts that came out to look for food, and looked curiously at the humans who entered the mountain.

When the porridge was ready, Lang Huai handed the big spoon to Ming Da and said, "Let's make do with it."

The scalding hot porridge was scooped out, and it was quickly warmed up by the mountain wind.Mingda's belly had long been unbearable, and he quickly drank.Lang Huai broke open a piece of dry biscuit, soaked it in the porridge, and tore some venison shreds into it. He said with a smile, "I didn't expect to be able to eat the military rations that Anxi had eaten on Mount Hua. But it's a little too much." Venison," she grabbed Mingda's hand, tasted it directly with a large spoon, nodded and praised, "Not bad."

"Is it delicious to eat anything when you're hungry?" Mingda didn't struggle, and let her hold on to the jerky, still chewing on the jerky, gradually infecting all the taste buds with a trace of saltiness, it was really delicious.

A pot of porridge was half eaten, and the sound of wild animals running was heard not far away.Lang Huai listened for a moment and then relaxed.Moments later, Firefox jumped onto the stone platform, holding a fat rabbit in its mouth—it was unlucky to be caught by Captain Huaidu, who was hunting for the first time.

It rushed to Mingda, carefully put down the rabbit in its mouth, and sat upright, with its big tail curled around its side, its dark eyes staring at Mingda, its intention to please was too obvious.

Mingda didn't expect it to be able to hunt it, so he was really happy, but also felt that the rabbit was cute, so he was inevitably depressed.But she still poured the remaining porridge out of the pot, it's not that in Chang'an, she poured it on the stone, waited until it was almost cold, then patted Captain Huai's body, allowing it to enjoy the reward.

Turning around, Lang Huai had already skinned the rabbit with the Chun Jun sword, split the branches, skewered the rabbit meat with cores, and put it in the fire to roast.

"Brother Huai, aren't you afraid of attracting wild beasts?" Ming Da laughed when he saw that she was doing such a thing with the Chun Jun sword.

Lang Huai said with a smile: "It's okay, bake until it's half-cooked, and we can take it tomorrow. We have limited dry food, and since Captain Huai is willing to try his skills in the field, we can't let him down." While speaking, Lang Huai took out the internal organs and counted them as firefox Extra meal.

After dinner, Lang Huai removed the fire, spread the bedding for the two of them, shook off a bearskin cloak, and wrapped them up.Xu Shi really stayed away from the world, Ming Da didn't wait for Lang Huai to take the initiative, he already leaned into her arms, lay down with his arms around Lang Huai's left arm, and remained silent.

The hood was pulled back, only Mingda's mouth, nose and breathing were exposed, Lang Huai was distracted for a moment, he lowered his head and kissed Mingda's lips.The lips were cold, and the moment they pressed tightly together, Mingda still pressed her lips together, and her breathing became short of breath.Lang Huai didn't dare to do anything else, he left quickly, and said in a low voice: "Go to sleep, there are really people who don't have long eyes, just come here."

Mozilla pressed against Mingda's neck and closed his eyes.Lang Huai looked at the crescent moon in the sky alone, thinking for a while that he didn’t know when Mingda would show his face again; for a while, he wondered whether the situation she set up would be able to get off to a smooth start, even if the capital is now more unstable; for a while, he was thinking about Li Qian’s faction Who is the bad guy who can play tricks under the eyes of the old and cunning Yuan Xuanhong.Afterwards, the confusion gradually rose in his head, and after struggling for a long time, he still closed his eyes.

However, the pure Jun sword in his hand was firmly held in the palm of Lang Huai's right hand from beginning to end, and he never let go.
