Looking back

In the grassland in May, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

Dozens of large tents were newly built on the banks of the Orkhon River, facing far away from the tents of Halahelin in the upper reaches.Huge logs sent by the river were used as pillars for building, and finely woven wool felts and blankets were unloaded from the ox carts to be used as tarpaulins, not to mention fat and tender lambs, and fresh milk from silver jugs. , the fine wine from the Western Regions in the glass cup, and many wine and food are placed on a brand new poplar table.Pine wood was burning under the huge iron pot set up, and the boiling water in the pot kept tumbling, and the hot smoke rushed into the air with the smell of meat.

In the direction of the Hang'ai Mountains, a small hill made of stones rises from the ground, with willow branches and divine banners inserted on the top of the obo.There are whole sheep heads scattered under the stone pile, and the fine wine poured on the stones slowly emits fragrance. If the weather is fine on the wedding day of Princess Huozhen, some people may believe that these sacrifices played a role in the dark. role.

Naturally, Yang Kang would not simply rely on the shaman's prayers. The tent as an alternative has been cleaned, and if the weather changes, the banquet can be moved to the tent.The subordinates of his bodyguard bureau were all involved in the preparatory work, and it was common for them to transport and collect items, and they were able to do so easily. Seeing that everything was arranged properly, he walked into a tent in the middle, and saw Huazheng sitting in front of the dressing table, beautiful. Jiali was accompanying her to fiddle with the bottles and jars on the dressing table.Seeing him coming, Meili stood up and stood in front of the dressing table, with her hips akimbo blocking the way, "Go, how can anyone meet a bride casually before the wedding?"

"How can there be so many rules at such a young age?" Yang Kang smiled, while using his footwork, he walked around her to the front of the dressing table, and said to Huazheng, "Guess, what is this?"

Huazheng glanced sideways, "I have all my things, what do you bring?" After she finished speaking, she casually lifted the carved sandalwood box lid, and the buckle made of gold thread embedded with beads snapped open. With a pop, a small flat object was wrapped in the water-smooth brocade inside the makeup box.She picked it up and weighed it, "Mirror? Mirror!"

She suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, she picked up the thing with both hands, and carefully took it apart.The back side of the gold base inlaid with jade is exposed first, and when turned over, you can see a shiny white mirror surface.

Yang Kang explained, "The glass produced in Venice was green before. Manganese oxide was added to neutralize the color of iron and become transparent. The craftsmen tried many kinds of ores and finally succeeded, but the transparency is not good enough. The current technology The glass that can be made is green, and the craftsmanship in all aspects is already very good. It can make a very flat and smooth mirror surface. The reverse side of the glass is coated with mercury and then painted with raw lacquer. I can see myself more clearly.”

Hua Zheng couldn't put it down and held up the mirror in mid-air, just to reflect the face after makeup.Although this mirror is not as detailed as the modern ones, compared with the blurred bronze mirror, the colors are true and the outlines are clear.She looked and looked, and suddenly shouted, "Beauty! I said the eyebrows are too thick!"

Jiali giggled and said, "That's not it, it looks good just like this, if you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Yang Kang waved his hand, "Don't involve me, everything looks good." He said to Huazheng, "Don't you see what else is inside?"

Only then did Huazheng turn his attention to the box again, and flipped the mechanism on the interlayer, and what was exposed this time was a small flat box.Yang Kang aimed the front of the box at the ground, activated the mechanism, and saw dozens of silver needles shooting out.Huazheng exclaimed, "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle?"

"Do you have to use such a vulgar name?"

"Do you have any innovative names? I don't believe it!"

Yang Kang took the needle back and filled it back into the box, "You can use your jade bee needle or your junior sister's ice soul silver needle to fill it up. In fact, I wanted to see if the improved musket could be made into a carry-on size, but at present It's a little hard to see."

Huazheng wrapped the wooden box and put it aside, "I'm not familiar with this mechanism, so I won't take it with me, I'm afraid I'll hurt someone by mistake. Don't worry, I can do basic self-defense, smoke and poison, you should prepare it." I have everything on me." She said, pointing to the bottles and jars on the dressing table, which obviously did not contain rouge and gouache, and then laughed at herself, "I don't know if this is a marriage or a war. .”

"Of course it's a war, and it's still a tough battle."

Huazheng blinked, "As long as I end up better than before with Du Shi and Guo Jing, I'll be satisfied. Let me tell you, I met a Yunyou monk in my early years and said that I was hit by a peach blossom with blood. If I want to get married It will definitely bring blood and rain, and it is best for a lifetime..."

Yang Kang saw her start to make up nonsense, and stopped with a smile, "Okay, okay, you can enjoy the treatment of singing and dancing under the beauty's account at ease, I will take the lead as a soldier, and there are still a bunch of guests to receive and lead."

Huazheng nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. This stupid ceremony is over. Let's make up a real romantic wedding. How about traveling and getting married? Do you think Paris or Bali?" Yang Kang said, "There are so many good places. What are you doing in the backcountry? You said you wanted to announce it to the world in a dignified way, but now you regret it and feel annoyed?"

Huazheng sighed pretendingly, "Aren't you bored to death? I'm about to fall apart." Yang Kang smiled and said, "Persist, do you want to act as a runaway bride on the spot?" "Even if I want to run, I have to run." Pass you!" She pointed to the long skirt on her body, "Even if I was at my best in Qinggong, I couldn't run away with you with this kind of thing, okay?"

Indeed, the wedding was less a celebration of joy than a show of announcement.All the princes and nobles of Mongolia came, and the reception was time-consuming and laborious, but this was not the biggest problem.The most troublesome thing is that group of Jianghu people with outstanding skills, different tempers, and complicated relationships.

Guests coming from long distances are all accommodated in the nearby post stations first, and the routes of the people are arranged to be staggered as much as possible. However, whenever people from the martial arts come, he will personally greet them and lead them to their seats, so as to avoid any troubles.

At this time, the morning light had not yet dispersed, and a carriage Shi Shi was seen coming from afar.Yang Kang had already received the report, so he galloped to the carriage that hadn't stopped yet.The people in the car opened the curtain when they heard the sound, and saw that she was combing a woman's hair in a bun, her sword eyebrows were full of heroism, and she was holding a cute girl named Yuxue in her arms, about four or five years old. Looking out the window.Yang Kang turned his horse's head and walked slowly in the same direction as the carriage, while saying hello through the window, "Sister Chi, you have worked hard all the way."

Qiu Qianchi said with a smile, "You still know how to invite me, you two brats have a conscience."

"That's right, Sister Chi invited us to drink the wedding wine. If you don't return the invitation, it's too unreasonable. It's the first time for Lue to go out of the valley. Are you still used to it along the way?"

Gongsun Lue was still young and didn't know people very well, so when Yang Kang asked him, she just nodded shyly.Yang Kang said again, "It's a pity that the owner of the valley can't come together." Qiu Qianchi curled his lips, "He only knows how to abide by the rules, saying that he can't go out of the valley because of common things, even if he comes, he won't drink or eat meat, and he will sweep you away for nothing. I'm happy. Don't mention him, where is little sister Huazheng?"

At this time the carriage had stopped, and Yang Kang sent her to Huazheng's tent, "Sister Chi took Lue to see her first, she was talking about seeing you for a long time. It's still early, you can chat first, and it doesn't matter if you sit down later. "

What happened to Qiu Qianchi has always made Huazheng very concerned.On this trip, she brought her young daughter all the way from the Valley of Unrequited Love, driving slowly all the way, and walked for several months.This is the first time she has gone out of the valley after marriage. If everything really develops as in the original book, maybe when she returns, Gongsun Zhi will elope with her maid Rou'er.

It would be perfect if Gongsun Zhi was smart enough to disappear, or fake a death.In fact, Yang Kang didn't believe that a cold-blooded person like Gongsunzhi could really spend his whole life with that Rou'er. Letting him wander abroad and repent in vain when he remembered his power and position in the valley was his punishment for betraying his wife.As for Qiu Qianchi, it is better to let go as soon as possible, instead of being deceived by rhetoric all his life, or fighting with each other and developing into a bitter couple.

As Yang Kang thought about it, he went to meet the next guest.Yelu Chucai had a high position and power in Mongolia at this time, and he brought his wife, Mrs. Su, and three children, Yeluzhu, Yeluqi, and Yeluyan, to arrive early this time.The three sons were all young, so they naturally brought many servants to take care of them, and they came in a mighty carriage full of more than a dozen carriages.However, this is only superficial glory, Wo Kuotai ignores political affairs, Dahadun Tuliegona has his own cronies, and Yelu Chucai, as Genghis Khan's survivor, is quite squeezed out at this time, and there are faint signs of being squeezed out of the political center .Yang Kang and Hua Zheng had already invited him to retreat bravely, and promised that he would have a place in the fief. Seeing him now, they knew it was a return of love.

Yelu Chucai's eldest son, Yeluzhu, was ten years old and quite calm. His daughter, Yeluyan, was still in her infancy, and his second son, Yeluqi, lived among them, and was still lively and active.When several people were talking, they suddenly heard Yeluqi exclaim softly, followed his line of sight, and saw a white-haired old man squatting on the ground, pressing his finger on his mouth and making a "hush" sound, his appearance was quite funny .

Yeluqi immediately pursed his lips, and tried to hide his gaze away, but fortunately, others did not notice that the old man was booing for Yeluqi to see.Yang Kang thought to himself, Yeluqi is Zhou Botong's apprentice accepted privately, and Zhou Botong is his uncle, so this little baby in front of him must be called uncle because his seniority is higher than him?

Yelu Chucai asked with a smile, "Is that also a guest?" Yang Kang replied, "This senior is called Zhou Botong, he is an elder of my teacher's sect, but he never sees anyone, and he never thought of inviting him, who knows he didn't invite himself?" Here you come. Brother Yelu please first, I will entertain that old naughty boy." After finishing speaking, Yang Kang jumped up to Zhou Botong and said, "Master Uncle, it is a good thing for you to come, don't disturb the banquet. If something goes wrong, Annoyed the bride, I will never fight with you again from now on."

Zhou Botong was about to answer when he was startled for a moment, then laughed, "I don't need your company, I don't need your company!" After he finished speaking, he slapped his thigh suddenly, jumped into the air, and shouted, "Old Poison, I found you! Fight with me!" How many punches?"

From a distance, there were two figures rushing forward, the first one in yellow shirt was actually Li Mochou, and the one behind who was only a few steps behind was the crazy Ouyang Feng. Fei was panting.But Ouyang Feng was insane, but still sharp, seeing Zhou Botong rushing towards him, he stopped abruptly, squatted down on the spot and performed the Ha Toad Kung Fu.Zhou Botong knew how powerful he was, so he stopped a few steps away and laughed loudly, "This toad skill! Sure enough, you are an old poison!"

"Who is the old poison! Am I the old poison?" Ouyang Feng opened his eyes wide and asked, Zhou Botong clapped his hands and laughed, "No, no, you are not the old poison, you are the old toad!" Seeing the two chasing and fighting, Yang Kang sent a sound transmission to Zhou Botong from afar, "Uncle Master, you must go to places where there are few people!"

"One is old and disrespectful, and the other is crazy, just solved." Li Mochou stopped and let out a long sigh of relief.I saw that although her expression was leisurely, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and she was panting slightly, which showed that the pursuit all the way was quite urgent.Yang Kang asked, "How did you provoke this great god?"

"As soon as the old lunatic saw me, he asked 'Who am I', saying that I must recognize him, kept asking, and didn't know who he took me for. Although I couldn't beat him, he still let him eat a little bit Fortunately, who knows that he is even more unwilling to give up, fortunately, I am good at lightness kung fu, I just thought about rushing all the way here, and let my brother-in-law take care of it."

In the story of the sculpture of the gods, the little dragon girl once recalled that Ouyang Feng and Li Mochou had some kind of enmity, and they blocked the door of the ancient tomb and shouted. Opening the acupoints wounded Xiao Longnv's master, both master and apprentice thought it was Li Mochou who secretly unlocked Ouyang Feng's acupoints, and this misunderstanding continued for more than ten years.Sometimes Hua Zheng was worried about her master, so she told Li Mochou that if she got into an enemy, she didn't have to go back to the ancient tomb, she just came to find Yang Kang.

Seeing that Li Mochou carried out her senior sister's instructions meticulously, Yang Kang asked, "Then what did your master say?" Li Mochou turned her eyes and said rather disapprovingly, "Master, she said she understood. I told my senior sister a long time ago. , please also ask for nothing."

She used to travel around, but this trip was to help her senior sister send invitations back to the ancient tomb. Yang Kang bowed and thanked, "We didn't expect her to leave the ancient tomb, it's just that such a big event must be told to the elders." .I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"It's not troublesome, I'll go to my senior sister to get good tea, good fruit and good bed." After finishing speaking, she seemed to think of something again, and said with a delicate smile, "Brother-in-law, be careful, I saw a lot on the way What about people who can't do it?"

Yang Kang nodded and thanked her for the reminder.What he was most worried about in his heart were those experts of the older generation. If they came after hearing the news, the situation would be unimaginable.He was thinking about the whereabouts of Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi and others at this time, when he suddenly heard a few Mongolian soldiers talking in a low voice, "Here comes the son-in-law of the golden knife!"

Guo Jing was the only son-in-law bestowed by Genghis Khan, and the rest of the son-in-law simply used the title "Guliejian".And the soldiers who were assigned to Guo Jing in the Western Expedition Army were all assigned to Hua Zheng after that, so it was natural that someone would recognize Guo Jing who was leading the troops that day.

When Guo Jing and Huang Rong's carriage arrived at the checkpoint outside the camp, they looked very low-key. They did not bring their daughter with them, otherwise Guo Fu and Yeluqi, the original couple, would have met in advance.Seeing that there were so many people, the two didn't say much, they just congratulated in a low voice, and said that the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River said that they would not come if they had nothing to do with them, and that Xiaoyi was also unable to come because of her injuries, so they expressed congratulations on their behalf .

As for Huang Yaoshi, he didn't care about it at all, and went wandering alone.

After a while, he saw a person dressed as a Taoist priest approaching, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yin Zhiping with Qiu Chuji's letter.After the two recounted the old days, Yang Kang opened the letter and saw that it said, "When I was a teacher, I acted impulsively and acted recklessly because of my self-reliance. In the end, it harmed ordinary people and caused the disaster of Guo and Yang's wives and families. Tuliu regrets his whole life. I hope my disciples will take this as a warning. Everything must be thoughtful and careful, with the common people as the mind and morality as the heart, and don’t make the same mistakes as the teacher. Kuang will hold high authority in the future, and every move will involve many people, remember.”

Yang Kang pondered for a moment, put away the letter paper, and arranged for someone to send Yin Zhiping to his seat.Although there were not many people like him who delivered congratulations on behalf of the sect, they could still join a few tables. As for the closely related Vajra Sect and Persian Mingjiao, the sect masters and sect masters personally brought the crowd.

The auspicious time has come, the guests have all been seated, and when Hua Zheng is ready, Yang Kang goes to welcome her out of the tent.I saw that she was still wearing the gold-embroidered white-bottomed dress that she had seen just now, with fine golden patterns shimmering. Although the chest was a Mongolian-style coiled collar, the trailing skirt looked like swaying clouds.There is an extra sash around her waist, which outlines her slender waist. On her head is a silver crown inlaid with jewels. From the bottom of the crown extends a soft and smudged silver gauze, which hangs down to her waist. It is decorated with bead strings, and the pearls on the bead strings are small, round and crystal clear.

Huazheng tugged at the front of the skirt, and then pushed the pearls on her cheeks, "Look at the wedding dress I changed?" Yang Kang looked at it for a moment, "It's much more beautiful than the red one last time." She smiled triumphantly, "That's Of course! This time I'm marrying you, how can it be the same? In terms of weight alone, it's not a heavyweight."

"It's okay, no matter how heavy it is, you can still hug it." After finishing speaking, Yang Kang picked her up and walked through the burning bonfire. The big shaman poured milk wine on their foreheads and worshiped the gods of heaven, god of shepherd and god of fire.When the banquet started, the two people saluted the guests one by one with silver pots and bowls.

This lap really tested physical strength and patience. The bottom of the wine cup used by the two was inlaid with transparent glass, making the extremely shallow bottom of the cup look like a normal wine glass. However, after the lap, the two of them still drank a little bit drunk. .According to the custom, they first go to respect the elders among the Mongolian guests.Most of the children adopted by Mrs. Ho'erun were still alive at this time, and a few of them were near Helin, so they all rushed over.In addition to the distant relatives and in-laws, even Hua Zheng can barely recognize half of them, and it is still necessary to rely on the clerk's private reminder and introduction in advance to call each other by name when toasting.

The next thing is to respect friends of the same generation. The seat arranges Qiu Qianchi, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others very far away. After all, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Qiu Qianchi's two elder brothers have festivals, but fortunately, the two parties do not know each other.When the toast came to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Kang looked down at the cups and plates of the two of them, barely moving.

With a smile on the corner of Huazheng's mouth, he raised his wine glass and said, "The last time I toasted you, I had ulterior motives; this time I salute again, but it is sincere." Huang Rong said with a sly smile, "Sister Huazheng, we are here to celebrate Your great joy is equally sincere. But many people here are eager to exchange Brother Jing's head for a bounty."

Yang Kang replied, "Don't worry, I am more afraid of something than you. If your father comes to make trouble, our two lives will not be worth it."

Huang Rong was just teasing on purpose, but when she saw Yang Kang toast to each other again, she didn't push back any more, and the four of them raised their glasses high and drank it all in one gulp.Guo Jing said, "Hua Zheng, I have always been sorry for you before. It was my fault that Da Khan's engagement was not rejected on the spot. Later, I regretted the marriage and left, embarrassing you, and it was also my fault. I have always put you and Trustee Let Lei become brothers and sisters..." Guo Jing's voice choked up suddenly, as if he remembered the news of Torrey's death.

The cause of Torre's death is unknown in foreign languages, and Guo Jing only thought that he died of illness.Huazheng smiled and said, "Guo Jing, you didn't do anything wrong. Even brothers and sisters are just like this. Some people don't communicate with each other until they die, and some quarrel so that they blush and their necks are as thick as enemies, and even..." She whispered Sighing, "It's nothing, even though we played together since childhood, until I left at the age of ten, I never liked you. Even for the world, love has nothing to do with marriage, but at least for me Said, I still want to get my wish."

Huang Rong nodded sympathetically, looked sideways at Guo Jing beside her, with sweet smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows, "You don't care about it, but I care about it, and everyone gets the best of both worlds. This time, Brother Jing is not the only one who wants to apologize to you." , I also have something to tell you. However, I do not want to apologize to you, but to ask you for an explanation. Last time you took advantage of the villains in the beggar gang and disrupted the conference I worked so hard to prepare, but Want to apologize to my gang leader?"

Hua Zheng chuckled, "I thought you were going to say something! Let me test for you who among your gang might be bribed or betrayed, shouldn't you thank me?" Huang Rong snorted softly, "I see You only tried out Brother Yang. Next time you have to be careful, if you really intervene to make things difficult for Da Song, maybe the fake kidnapping will become real kidnapping."

Yang Kang smiled and prevented the two from arguing, "If you have time, you can catch up on the past, there are still a few tables left that need to be rushed."

So respectful until the end, finally to the relatives.Huazheng's eldest brother Shuchi, fourth brother Tuo Lei, eldest sister Buyisek, and second sister Chacha Yijian are all dead. When Altan came, they all sat on the honorable seats. As for the other half-brothers and sisters, they sat in another place.

Wo Kuotai was drinking tribute shochu at the banquet. When he saw the newcomer, he squinted his drunken eyes and said loudly, "Okay, okay, my little sister is finally married! I want to think you You want to be pampered at home by mom and dad for the rest of your life, let dad hug you and watch me stand on the ground, and occupy mom's lap forever, so I can't even touch you." Drunken and confused, he seemed He was so drunk that he forgot that his parents had passed away, and that Huazheng was still standing in front of him, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be complaining endlessly, "Yeah, it's good to be the youngest, the youngest son is the baby, what's the matter?" I will leave everything to you, why can't I be born a few years later, why, hiccup..."

He was really drunk, and at first he was talking about Huazheng, but later he talked about Torrey, and the custom of the young son guarding the stove.Wo Kuotai's wife awkwardly supported Da Khan, who was staggering and barely standing still. Hua Zheng stood motionless at the table, speaking calmly, "Third brother also drank too much." She put the full wine glass on the table. In front of the drunk brother, he told the people around, "Take brother to the tent."

When leaving, Huazheng staggered, and Yang Kang also felt a little tired. Guessing that she was struggling to hold on at this time, he pulled her to lean on his shoulders, bearing most of the weight, and said, "Get married!" Every bride is a heavy-duty warrior." She replied a little tiredly, "There is no way, the wedding venue is like a battlefield, and the wedding dress is the armor."

The two fought hard, and finally came to Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo.I saw the two of them wearing brand-new fancy clothes, Bao Xiruo was wearing a golden longevity hairpin with pearls on her head, which was quite suitable for her pampered and pampered temperament for more than ten years, and Yang Tiexin was wearing a navy blue satin gown, which was also quite suitable, It covered up the color of working hard.Since the threat a few months ago, the two sides have never talked in depth, and naturally a little awkward when they look at each other.

Huazheng avoided Yang Tiexin's expression, nodded to Bao Xiruo first, and said in a soft voice, "Wait until tomorrow morning, and the daughter-in-law will serve tea to Mom according to Han etiquette? You are the only mother, so please don't deny me." Seeing her whispering that she was lonely and helpless, Bao Xiruo sighed with worry in her eyes, but still took her wine glass , "You are a good boy who wants to be strong, and no one will love you..." Halfway through the words, tears were already hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Yang Kang held up the wine glass and handed it to Yang Tiexin, "Father, on the day of my son's big day, the first thing I want to do is to thank my parents for their kindness in giving birth." But Yang Tiexin didn't accept it, "What are your plans after marriage? How about going to war with Da Song? Have you forgotten how your brother Guo's mother died?"

Huazheng's shoulder moved, and Yang Kang knew that she couldn't bear to refute.If the general leading the army defected, he would put his family in danger. Li Ping decided to commit suicide because she was afraid of dragging Guo Jing down on the way to escape.At least half of her death was due to Guo Jing's ignorance and indirect acceptance of the military power, but he didn't understand the accompanying responsibility and risk.

He held her hand, comforted her gently, and said, "Khan has passed away long ago, and there will be no such thing in the future." Huazheng gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Didn't I say that too, old man?" Just relax and everything will be fine."

"Everything will be fine?" Yang Tiexin smiled awkwardly, "The princess doesn't need to scare me with bloody revenge anymore. I have been living in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and I have dealt with more people than you have ever seen. Can't you tell who is really cruel and who is just bluffing..." His voice became hoarse and his eyes became dazed, Yang Kang felt that something was wrong, and immediately grabbed him and used the method of detoxification in the Nine Yin Manual .Huazheng exclaimed, "What did you eat?"

She snatched Bao Xiruo's wrist and pressed it on her veins, then picked up the bowl on the table and inspected it, only to see that the dishes, cups and pots on the table were all made of silver, shining brightly.Seeing that it was too late to examine them one by one, Huazheng turned around and asked, "Who is responsible for the food and drink on this table?"

Bao Xiruo's hands were trembling, but he still tried his best to hold her back, "Princess, don't...don't blame others, it's...ourselves..." Her body fell limply, and a paper bag fell out of her arms. While Huazheng was supporting her, she grabbed the paper bag and saw fine powder dispersed in the air. Her expression changed, "Datura seeds! You?"

Yang Tiexin was also on the verge of falling, and he said intermittently, "They said that you are now... a master of martial arts, and there are few people who can beat you, and no one can stop you wherever you go... It's just that your parents are useless That's why you... can't..." He twitched violently a few times, "Promise me and your mother, we won't be coerced from now on, and go back... back to Song Dynasty."

When Yang Kang practiced kung fu, he only felt that the other party's poison entered his internal organs and entangled him endlessly. His internal force of expelling poison was like a mud cow entering the sea. Seeing Yang Tiexin's pupils suddenly dilated, he shouted, "No! No!" Yang Tiexin's eyes and pupils were already cloudy, and his throat almost Unable to make a sound, "My Yang family is full of Zhongliang...never..."

Seeing that he had fallen into respiratory failure, Yang Kang gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there no cure for this poison?" Hua Zheng had already sat down on the ground with Bao Xiruo in his arms. She was holding a silver needle and wanted to treat him, but her hands were trembling and there was nowhere to start. "Emetic, gastric lavage, infusion...but those are alkaloids..."

Bao Xiruo smiled miserably, "Kanger, don't blame me. You...adoptive father...I don't owe him...instead, he owes me...he owes me for saving his life...you owe me a family reunion...you owe me More than ten years of fear and guilt are unbearable. So...I left him...I don't regret it..." Her voice became weaker, "Brother Tie is I owe him...I owe him a concealment...I owe him more than ten years I owe him a clean body... I owe him a son. Now... I can only pay him back my life..."

Her toxicity finally flared up, her beautiful pupils were completely blurred, she stretched out her slender hand, which was still convulsed, and raised it towards the direction where Yang Tiexin fell, "Brother Tie, wait for me..."

There seemed to be a voice in Yang Kang's heart that wanted to cry loudly, but his throat was hoarse, leaving only the shape of crying.The banquet singing and dancing in the distance was still noisy, only the attendants in charge of this table surrounded him, and finally, he heard his hoarse voice, "Take them away."

He closed his eyes, raised his head suddenly, and suddenly heard a commotion.When he opened his eyes, he saw Guo Jing standing in front of him with an angry face, "Why did this happen! Who did it?"

Yang Kang said in a low voice, "It's my fault. I have neither the patience nor the ability to make them understand."

Huang Rong next to her whispered something to Guo Jing, but Yang Kang didn't care to listen carefully.I only heard Guo Jing say, "The corpses of Uncle Yang and Auntie must be taken back to Niujia Village for burial."

"it is good."

"Aren't you going back together?"

"Do not."

Guo Jing opened his mouth but couldn't speak, he stretched out his hand to grab him, "You come with us, Uncle Yang wants you to go back!"

Yang Kang smiled wryly, "My biological parents forced me to die. Then what do you want to use, fist? Whatever you say, this is my life."

He turned and left.The white curtains, white tables and seats, and the white crowd formed a glaring white sky.In a trance, it is almost impossible to tell whether it is joy or sorrow?

------

Seven days later.

"On the first seven days, you are not allowed to worship in front of your parents' graves. It is because children are not filial. You can only offer three cups of water and wine here, and hope that your parents will rest in peace." After speaking, Yang Kang spilled the wine in his cup on the ground, and then He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Hua Zheng remained silent, and knelt down next to him after a while, "In my two lifetimes of more than 40 years, I have never even kneeled down to my parents. Now, according to the etiquette of kneeling down to parents in ancient times, I sincerely treat you as parents-in-law. If you still don't If you are willing to accept it, then turn your back and ignore me. If you can really watch us in the dark, then I hope you can watch us for a long time, long enough to understand us."

After she finished speaking, she folded her hands in front of her body, bent down gently and steadily, and rested her smooth forehead on the back of her hands.After doing this three times, she said, "We are all orphans now." Yang Kang pulled her up and flicked the dust and grass off her skirt, "Who isn't?"

"I'd rather you blame me. If I hadn't threatened them, maybe there wouldn't be that kind of misunderstanding."

"There will always be misunderstandings."

He put away the altar and placed it in another place, but it was still facing the southeast direction far away. "When my apprentice got married, I should have invited you to sit on the honored seat of the elders to accept the salute. However, the master's wish, the apprentice will never be able to fulfill for you in this life: to obtain the understanding of the master and return to the master, in the end, only when you die The murderer of your husband's revenge is not only my sworn brother, but also the son-in-law of Peach Blossom Island, a respected hero, even if I have the strength to avenge, I will not be able to do it; as for..."

He couldn't continue, turned around and saw Huazheng standing upright, and sighed softly, "Aren't you going to say something?"

Huazheng shook her head, "Grace is grace, hatred is hatred, it's only decent if you break it with a clean knife, what's there to talk about? She has always done her own way, and she will never be willing to listen to my hypocritical apology. No matter how much she hates me , When we get to the underworld, let her settle the matter with me."

Yang Kang took her hand, "I'll be with you then." Huazheng paused for a moment, then snorted, "I'm also talking about it, who knows if the crossing department will work with the underworld."

After the worship was over, the two turned around and left. The horseshoes slowly heard the wind gradually rising, and the waves on the tops of the trees and the tops of the grass were undulating.The black clouds hung low and were driven by the strong wind, enveloping the surrounding fields and tumbling endlessly. In a blink of an eye, the raindrops as big as peas fell down, forming a continuous gray and shimmering curtain.

The wilderness is vast and there is nowhere to shelter from the rain.Yang Kang put his cloak on Hua Zheng, and put on a spare coir raincoat hanging on the saddle.The raindrops converged into streams, gurgling and flowing on the lines woven by needlegrass. The horse was startled by the thunder, and raised its front hooves and let out a long neigh.Huazheng held the rein to stabilize the horse, and whispered softly, "Hey, let's not rush, let's go slowly."

Yang Kang's green-maned horse has always been very steady, following behind Hua Zheng's Snow-Treading Wuyun Horse, no more, no less than half of the horse's body, steadily stepping over the splashes in the potholes.Yang Kang suddenly asked, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"

"I race horses with you. You run so fast on horseback, I can't catch up with you no matter what." Water drops fell on his forehead, and there was a hint of refreshment in the coldness, "Then I stopped, so you stopped too." Come down and come back to me."

The rain outside the Great Wall came and stopped in an instant, and the white mist was torn apart by the golden light of the sun, revealing pieces of the blue sky.The light that hangs down alternates between light and dark, and it seems that there is a light curtain hanging between the sky and the earth, changing and blurring.Huazheng stood on the horse and looked over, "It's so beautiful!"

The two watched with bated breath for a long time, Huazheng suddenly said, "I will always know if you are behind me. As long as you stop, I will stop and look back for you."

Yang Kang thought, now that I've stopped, you should too.But he asked, "Then what happens after you find it?"

Huazheng frowned and looked ahead, the corners of her mouth were pursed, no smile could be seen.After a while, she shook the reins and turned her head, her brows and eyes stretched again, her expression calm, "Let's go, go home."

(End of Volume Four)

The author has something to say: After finishing the chapter, I wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year! (It's over, it's over, let me let me scream up to the sky for a while!) Now that I've stumbled and stumbled to the present, I finally try my best to finish the writing without a bad end. I am really moved, even if the author has something to say. It's annoying, so let me ramble on here for a while.

It was a long, long time ago that I planned to write about Shooting Condors. It was so long that I hadn’t written the infinite fan, and I didn’t plan to publish it (four years ago, orz).At that time, I just wanted to write an article about double wear with love, but the male and female protagonists who were supposed to be together couldn’t agree on life and death. One was firmly on the road of attacking scumbags, and the other was firmly on the road of complaining. The soy sauce was a mess.

Naturally, the child was disobedient, which frustrated me as a mother. At this moment, the idea of ​​shooting eagles jumped into my mind.Well~ YY Shooting the Condor, naturally out of resentment towards Yang Kang, sympathized with this baby, but was unable to reverse his tragedy, imagined it many times, let the protagonist who traveled through time change his fate, but couldn't start, and then thought about it , wearing other people, saving the country with curves, but whether it is Ouyang Ke or Guo Jing, whether it is Mu Nianci or the original female supporting role, they all made a mess of themselves, so they gave up.

At this time, Huazheng suddenly jumped into his mind, bringing a glimmer of hope.

I have to say that I have no love for Hua Zheng in the novel, neither like nor dislike.Because this character is a very thin character
