his robbery

Huo Xiangzhen ordered Huo Pingchuan's house to be tidied up. Except that the garden was hopeless, the front house was repaired, but it could still be lived in as usual.

In the afternoon, he sat alone in front of the window in the room, drinking tea in silence.The tea was very weak, and the taste was rather bitter. He sipped it one after another, feeling empty and peaceful in his heart.It was rare to be able to enjoy a moment of leisure, and he didn't know why he was so busy.He was busy recruiting soldiers, buying horses, going to Beijing, and returning to Baoding... With a teacup the size of an egg in his hand, he drank the fragrance of tea all over him.

Ma Congrong passed by the window, maybe he just came back from the barracks, with spurs on his riding boots, the sound of every step was harsh.This time, he had the guts to declare war on Huo Xiangzhen unilaterally.He doesn't delay business affairs; he doesn't say a word about private matters.Huo Xiangzhen has never been able to coax people, especially not used to him, so the cold war continued for a long time, both sides didn't care on the surface, but they were a little bit unhappy in their hearts.

He drank a pot of tea until it was as light as water.Standing up with his hands on his knees, he suddenly thought of a question: where did Gu Chengxi go?

He knew that Gu Chengxi had gone to the countryside to recruit soldiers, but recruiting soldiers was also a matter of time, so it wouldn't make him disappear out of thin air for more than a month.Calling Yuan Man in at the top of his voice, he asked, "Have you seen Gu Chengxi recently?"

Yuan Man thought about it seriously, and then replied: "Yes, yesterday you asked me to go to the camp to get a gun, and I saw him."

Huo Xiangzhen asked again: "What is he doing in the camp?"

Yuan Man laughed and said, "He's training with those recruits! I also taught him how to shoot for half a day. He's quite smart, and he'll be able to do it once he's taught. He's much better than those recruits."

Huo Xiangzhen was confused: "He's a member of the military supply department, what does he train with recruits?"

Yuan Man shook his head: "I don't know."

Huo Xiangzhen waved his hand outside: "Go, call him over."

Yuan Man immediately took the order and made a phone call to the camp outside the city.Within a short while, Gu Chengxi rode over on a fast horse.The current Qiuhu is still very powerful, and he is sweating profusely from running all the way.Taking off his military cap and standing in front of Huo Xiangzhen, he panted heavily with a smile: "The commander is looking for me?"

Huo Xiangzhen brewed a new pot of tea for herself.Sitting on the chair in front of the window with a teacup in hand, he looked up at Gu Chengxi: "I heard that you are training with recruits?"

Gu Chengxi stood at attention: "Yes, all the recruits are full now, I'm quite free, and I happened to study with the recruits." Then he smiled a little shyly: "Otherwise, I don't know anything."

Huo Xiangzhen took a sip of hot tea: "Do you want to change errands?"

Gu Chengxi licked his lips, and stood in the cool room like a javelin: "I... If the commander can trust me, please send me a few soldiers! Although the military supply department is also very good, but I don't need it for small things. If it's not for me, I'm a restless person..."

He spoke intermittently, with lingering echoes.Huo Xiangzhen turned sideways and poured himself another half cup of tea, then blew the steam in the cup noncommittally: "How many people do you think you can control?"

Gu Chengxi thought for a moment: "I can manage...a battalion!"

Huo Xiangzhen nodded: "Okay, I will give you a battalion. If you manage well, you will be rewarded; if you manage badly, you will be punished."

Gu Chengxi suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and took a step forward calmly: "Marshal, what can you reward me for?"

Huo Xiangzhen raised her head: "What do you want?"

Gu Chengxi smiled at him foolishly: "I want to use the military stick."

Huo Xiangzhen immediately poured a cup of hot tea on his face: "Bastard! Get out!"

Gu Chengxi saluted the military: "Yes!"

Then he lowered his head, turned around happily and exited the room.Gently closing the door for Huo Xiangzhen, he raised his hand to wipe his face, exuding the fragrance of his face and hands.Stepping briskly onto the veranda leading to the front yard, he shook his head all the way, with rhythm from head to toe.Yuan Man walked head-to-head with him, because he was seen wandering in the corridor by himself from a long distance away, so he tilted his head and looked at him curiously at this moment: "Brother Gu, what is so beautiful about you?"

Before Gu Chengxi could answer, he saw the problem again: "Hey, you have a tea stalk on your chin."

Gu Chengxi touched his chin, and at the same time burst out laughing.Raising his hand to pat Yuan Man's shoulder, he said with a playful smile, "I'll find you tomorrow, and I'll treat you to a restaurant!"

Then he sideways bypassed Yuan Man, and happily twisted all the way to the distance.Yuan Man looked back at him inexplicably, and said to himself, "Is this eating magpie eggs?"

Then he continued to move forward and walked into Huo Xiangzhen's room: "Marshal, there are big crabs that just came from Tanggu. They are all alive. I steamed them for you to eat at night?"

Huo Xiangzhen was still drinking tea endlessly: "Who is so leisurely and knows how to eat crabs?"

Yuan Man replied without thinking, "It's the Secretary-General."

Huo Xiangzhen took a sip of tea, but said nothing.

That night, there were indeed big crabs.The big crab built a tower on the table, which was bright red and magnificent.Huo Xiangzhen stared at the crab tower in a daze for a while - he doesn't know how to peel crabs.

Picking up the wine cup and taking a sip of rice wine, he raised his voice and shouted, "Yuan Man!"

Yuan Man opened the door and came in: "Marshal, what are your orders?"

Huo Xiangzhen asked him: "Can you peel crabs?"

Yuan Man shook his head: "Report to the Commander, I don't know how to be humble. My hometown doesn't produce crabs."

Huo Xiangzhen glanced at Yuan Man, Yuan Man was a mischievous boy who was always on the move.Don't say he can't, even if he can, Huo Xiangzhen also doesn't trust his health condition.Turning his eyes back to the crab, he hesitated and said, "Ma Congrong."

Yuan Man agreed, turned around and left.After a long time, the door opened and Ma Congrong walked in.

The weather was hot, so Ma Congrong took off his military uniform and changed into a thin satin trousers and jacket.Standing at the dining table and standing at attention, he stared at the ceiling without saying a word.

Huo Xiangzhen was also silent.The room was silent for 10 minutes, and Huo Xiangzhen suddenly lowered his eyes and said, "I'm hungry."

Ma Congrong turned around, opened the door and went out, and came back in a blink of an eye, with an extra set of eight crabs in his hand.Honestly and bluntly, he sat down next to Huo Xiangzhen, and he began to peel crabs expressionlessly.The peeled crab meat was placed in a small dish. Huo Xiangzhen picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat it when he suddenly said: "Dip in ginger vinegar!"

Huo Xiangzhen still felt that he deserved a beating, but if he moved his hand now, the crab would definitely not be able to eat it.Picking up the crab meat and dipping it in ginger vinegar, he decided to eat it first and wait until he was full.

Huo Xiangzhen collapsed a crab tower.The crabs are plump and the rice wine is also good.Finally, he went back to the bedroom drunk, and he was served by Ma Congrong. When Ma Congrong asked him to undress, he undressed; when Ma Congrong asked him to go to bed, he went to bed.Lying alone in the dark for a while, he was feeling drowsy and comfortable, when the door suddenly opened, and it was Ma Congrong who came back.

Ma Congrong went to bed in the dark, and rustled in the quilt for a while.Finally extending a bare arm from under the covers, he tossed a balled-up nightgown at the end of the bed.

Lying on his side with his back to Huo Xiangzhen, he grabbed Huo Xiangzhen's hand and put it on his waist.Huo Xiangzhen's hands were very hot, which made him more aware of his own coldness.Shivering involuntarily, he moved back, letting his back touch Huo Xiangzhen's chest.

Sure enough, the hand on his waist gradually reacted, and the strong arm slowly encircled him and then strangled him.

After a carnival ended, Huo Xiangzhen pressed on him and refused to let go.The two sweaty bodies were clinging to each other, and Ma Congrong knew that Huo Xiangzhen wasn't enjoying himself.Having been a vegetarian for two months, Huo Xiangzhen must have a hard time tonight.

The hot sweat gradually turned cold, but Huo Xiangzhen remained motionless.Ma Congrong was dazed by his pressure, and was about to speak, but Huo Xiangzhen opened his mouth one step ahead of him, with a very low voice and a very serious tone: "Do...do you hurt?"

Ma Congrong opened his eyes wide in the dark, was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Why do you think of asking this?"

Huo Xiangzhen poked his head over and stared at him eagerly for an answer: "Does it hurt?"

Ma Congrong sighed: "The more times you feel the pain, the more you will get used to it."

Huo Xiangzhen smacked his words and wiped the sweat on the back of his head.As soon as he wiped his sweat, Ma Congrong understood that this was to "do it again".

After one night, Huo Xiangzhen and Ma Congrong made peace.Ma Congrong was almost torn down by Huo Xiangzhen at night, and when he woke up the next morning, the pain all over his body was not inferior to being beaten.Sitting sleepily under the quilt, he didn't know the meaning of Huo Xiangzhen's question last night.Huo Xiangzhen shouldn't care if he is in pain, so who is he concerned about?White Mani?

Ma Congrong shook his head, feeling that his guess was wrong.Although he hasn't been back to Beijing for a while, as far as he knows, Bai Mani's current appearance is not very good.There's no way, the confidante's life is bad, and he also admits that Bai Mani is beautiful and a confidante.

Ma Congrong thought of Bai Mani, and Huo Xiangzhen also thought of Bai Mani.He thought that if Bai Mani hadn't "pained" that day, he wouldn't have walked alone.If he was there, he would be able to evacuate safely with him.After all, I have run the battlefield, have the courage and experience.what does white mani have?There is only a little courage and a whole body of coquettishness.

He always thought that Bai Mani was an incompetent person with no ambition.However, now, he has changed his mind, and he would rather Bai Mani be a little more cowardly, a little more confused, and a little more unambitious.Bai Mani hopes every day that he can throw away his crutches and walk out of a normal person. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. His soul fluctuates between hope and disappointment, and he doesn't know whether it will rise or fall in the next second.Deputy Chief Zhao said in the letter that sometimes Young Master Bai could cry several times a day.

The mind suffers, and the body suffers even more.The joints of his left leg were glued together, and his muscles were atrophied. Every time he moved, he felt like he was being tortured.In the most painful and desperate moments, he would shut himself in an empty room, screaming heart-piercingly.

Adjutant Zhao's letter was single and varied in content.He said in the last letter, "Master Bai threw away his crutches." In the next letter, he said, "Master Bai started to walk again."

When it came to the next letter, Young Master Bai didn't walk out of his grades, so he threw away his crutches again.Fortunately, Adjutant Zhao had learned his lesson and prepared many spare crutches in advance.Whenever Young Master Bai wanted to leave, he would provide crutches whenever he wanted, and he would never let Young Master Bai stare blankly.

Huo Xiangzhen read those upside-down letters, her heart was pierced by a knife, but there was nothing she could do.He only hoped that after he had been busy for a month, he could return to Beijing and spend a few days of quiet life with his younger brother.
