Half blood

Li Xuan came out of the house and walked up the mountain along the path. The whole village is really empty now. Li Xuan thought to himself, Li Xiuqi's eloquence is too good, he persuaded so many people away, and he persuaded even one of them. Do not move.Just as he was thinking this way, suddenly a fleshy unknown object hugged his thigh. Li Xuan looked down and saw a five or six-year-old boy looking at him with aggrieved expression.

Li Xuan squatted down, making himself about the same height as the little boy, and asked softly, "Little guy, what's wrong with you? Why are you here alone?"

The little boy sucked back the snot on his mouth, and replied with a crying voice: "I, I can't walk..." Li Xuan was a little strange, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked, "Where are your parents?" ?”

The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know, they took their brothers and sisters away and didn't see me."

"Didn't see you? How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

The little boy first stretched out one white and fat hand, stretched out his five fingers, then raised the other hand, and said vaguely: "One, two, mulberry, yes, five, slip, eat!" ,eight……"

"Eight? You have eight brothers and sisters?!" Li Xuan thought to himself, with so many children in the family, it is justifiable to get rid of this little guy.

The little boy nodded, and said in a childlike voice, "I'm Wu!" He raised a fat hand with five fingers separated. "Are you the fifth?" Li Xuan asked.The boy smiled happily and nodded repeatedly.

Li Xuan thought for a while, then said: "Come on, you go to the mountain with your elder brother first, and look for your brainless parents." After speaking, he stood up and stretched out a hand to the little boy.

The little boy sucked back the transparent snot on his mouth, stared at Li Xuan's back with a pair of eyes, and finally said in a crying voice: "I, I can't walk..."

Li Xuan looked down at the two short legs of the little boy, thinking that he would not be able to walk very fast, so he turned sideways, turned his back to him, and said, "Come on..."

But the child took a step back timidly and said, "You, you won't throw me off, will you?"

After hearing this, Li Xuan laughed, and said: "It's okay to carry you, a little radish, come up quickly, we can find your parents earlier if we leave early."

The child listened, and then climbed up cautiously, holding Li Xuan's shoulders tightly with two chubby hands, hanging his small head by his neck, and still worriedly told him: "Don't give me up. fell down..."

Li Xuan stood up abruptly on purpose, and the child screamed in fright, "Oh, don't throw me down!" Li Xuan said with a smirk: "You are a boy, why are you so timid? I am like you When I was so old, I went to hunt tigers." Of course this is false, he was already fifteen or sixteen years old when he followed Wei Yuan into the mountain behind the palace to round up animals, and he was still scared to death, but this matter It didn't matter if it was true, as long as the little thing on his back believed it.

But that kid wasn't a fool either, he made a face on Li Xuan's back, and said, "Stop lying, I'm not a three-year-old kid."

Li Xuan laughed again after hearing this, and said, "Then how old are you?"

The kid said solemnly: "I'm already six years old, I'm not a kid anymore. I used to be not afraid of being backed..."

"Oh? Then why are you so afraid now?"

The child sighed maturely, and said: "Sister Xiaodie threw me into a ditch when she was carrying me, and almost broke my head. Later, I became a little scared."

"Ah, that's it! Then you are really unlucky, you sister Xiaodie is too careless." Li Xuan said casually. "Ouch!" As soon as the words fell, Li Xuan felt his ears being pulled suddenly, causing him to cry out in pain.The instigator on his back said bitterly: "You are not allowed to say that about my sister Xiaodie, she is so nice!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say, who is this sister Xiaodie?"

The child blushed and said foolishly, "She, she is the one I love."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan was so frightened that the person on his back almost fell to the ground. He staggered, and the child on his back screamed, "You, don't throw me down too!"

Li Xuan steadied his footsteps, and said: "You, you little guy, how old is this year, you talk about love and love! Do you know what love is?"

The child immediately replied confidently: "Of course I know, the thumping here is love." His little white and fat hand covered his chest, and his little face was flushed, and he continued: "You I don't know what it's like to love someone!"

Li Xuan asked, "Why don't I know?"

"Hmph, you look like a bachelor!"

This is embarrassing, because Li Xuan is really a bachelor.The kid didn't say enough, "You're already old, and you're still a bachelor. Are you ashamed?"

Li Xuan couldn't hold back his face, so he retorted and said, "Hmph, who knows if your sister Xiaodie likes you or not?"

"Of course I like it, of course I like it, I'm likable."

Li Xuan listened, thinking of himself again, and murmured: "Then there is such a good thing? No one likes the person you like, but you like you?"

How could the child understand Li Xuan's thoughts, he said to himself: "The first time I saw Sister Xiaodie, my mother was asking me to take off my pants to wash them by the river, and then I saw a very The beautiful and beautiful young lady was also by the river, and then my heart was pounding, and I have fallen in love with her since then!"

Listening to the childish words, Li Xuan couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Then did you wear pants?" The little guy shook his head, and said, "I don't remember either..."

Li Xuan lowered his eyes, and suddenly remembered the day when he first met Li Xiuqi. The sun was shining brightly that day. He was resting on a tree, and then he saw a person wearing a light blue cotton shirt smiling under the tree. It suits him very well, making him look like a piece of jade, gentle and upright, like a heavenly man...

Just as he was thinking, the timid guy suddenly jumped off his back and ran towards a girl with a flower on her head beside Li Xiuqi who was not far away, and shouted: "Sister Xiaodie..." Then she raised her head again, looked at Li Xiuqi, and said, "Hey, why haven't you seen this brother?"

The little boy followed Li Xiuqi's gaze, saw Li Xiuqi looking at Li Xuan, and asked, "How did you know each other?"

Li Xuan was still wandering, thinking that the little guy was asking him, so he answered deeply: "The sun was just right that day..." But before he could say anything, Li Xiuqi said: "One day this brother came out of the tree I fell and almost hit me, and then we met." After finishing speaking, Li Xiuqi squatted down and asked softly, "Where are your parents? Why are you alone?"

Li Xuan could only hold back the words that came to his lips, and said: "His parents have no brains, they can't count how many children they have."

After the villagers settled down on the mountainside, Li Xuan and Li Xiuqi went down the mountain to the dike.At this time, Wei Zhong was standing by the river with his army, and he said loudly: "Brothers! None of us have any idea what will happen tomorrow. I, Wei, say it with conscience, and I don't believe the rumors at all. But since you are following My, then I will be responsible for you to the end. So no matter what happens tomorrow, I will issue a military order now. If the father and son are under my camp, the father will go back; if the brothers are under my camp, the elder brother will go back; there is only one family Those who are alone, let me go back. The rest," Wei Zhong paused, turned around, looked at the vast waters of the Anqu River, and said in a low voice: "The rest, who are willing to follow me, Wei, Take a step forward..."

Hearing a neat sound, Wei Zhong turned his head, but saw that the army was still standing in a straight line, and no one took a step forward.At this time, a soldier said loudly: "I, Wang Dazhuang, vowed to pursue the general to the death..."

"I..., vow to pursue the general to the death."

"I..., vow to pursue the general to the death."

"I..., vow to pursue the general to the death."

The shouts rang out one after another, and finally they all combined into one sentence, "I will pursue the general to the death!"

Wei Zhong was a little choked up. He raised his head and said loudly: "Okay! Swear to guard Anqujiang to the death!"

"Swear to defend the Anqu River to the death!"

"Swear to defend the Anqu River to the death!"

"Swear to defend the Anqu River to the death!"

Li Xuan's eyes became moist, and he also shouted heartbreakingly: "Defend Anqujiang to the death!"

"Swear to defend the Anqu River to the death!"

The tenth day finally came, and it was as peaceful as every day I had spent before.The smooth river is as smooth as a mirror, and the entire south has become a dead city, with no one and no sound.Standing behind the embankment were soldiers waiting in full battle. Each of them had a heavy expression on their faces. They waited quietly, waiting for the next moment of turmoil.

Li Xuan also stood on the embankment, his eyes searched everywhere, but he didn't see Li Xiuqi's figure at all, he got down from the embankment, walked towards the river, but saw Li Xiuqi standing there quietly, This figure is obviously as thin as a piece of paper, but for some reason, this figure always makes Li Xuan feel a little like Wei Zhong. He has a strange thought in his heart for a moment. He suddenly feels that Li Xiuqi seems to be more like Wei Zhong than Wei Yuan. Son, he blinked his eyes to let himself no longer have such a weird thought, then walked up quickly and said, "Why are you here?"

Li Xiuqi saluted him, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Highness."

Li Xuan no longer looked at those eyes that couldn't express his emotions, but looked elsewhere, and asked softly: "Do you think we will succeed?" Li Xiuqi shook his head lightly after hearing this, and said: "I don't know. I know..." The two stood quietly by the river, looking at the calm river before the storm.

Suddenly, Li Xuan felt the ground shaking under his feet, and the whole southern part was shaking crazily. When he raised his eyes, he saw water waves rushing down from the sky like beasts, and the waves rolled up the mud in the river, like a bird A beast in tiger fur came running wildly.At this moment, Li Xuan clearly knew that whether it was the embankment that Wei Zhong painstakingly built, or the diversion embankment he worked so hard to build, in front of this mighty water, they were like a mantis against a cart, vulnerable to a single blow.

He has never seen so much water, nor has he seen such a violent torrent. This mighty momentum reminds him that in this world, people are just a small mayfly. And Mu died.

Li Xuan suddenly understood what Li Xiuqi's words meant under the fireworks that day.What qualifications do people have to lament the shortness of mayflies? Compared with the rivers and mountains, and the sun and the moon, how much longer are their lives than mayflies?The mountains and rivers are always there, the sun and the moon shine together, and they are nothing but fireworks in this world.

Li Xiuqi watched the water rushing from behind Xingchuan Mountain quietly, then turned around suddenly, facing the vast river with his back on the embankment, and said to Li Xuan: "Your Highness, it seems that this is the case..." After finishing speaking, Li Xiuqi smiled at him lightly, the faint scent of soap and the fresh air from his lips surrounded Li Xuan's nose, Li Xuan didn't know what happened or who took the initiative, Li Xuan felt two gentle and cold things covering his lips, his heart was pounding in his chest, and he didn't know what he was doing.At this moment, what "mandate of heaven is called nature" and what "willfulness is called Tao" are all to him! "Li Xuan let out a low growl, stretched out his arms, and clamped the person in front of him tightly. Who cares, he's going to die anyway.
