Chiwuxing

"Then I won't be polite," Bois pointed out, "I want that rabbit over there! The whole one."

Fu Chen did as he wished, deboning and cutting the flesh, his movements were very skillful.

Bowa looked at him, and said with a smile: "I saw Gongbu this morning, but I spoke for you. I didn't expect you to settle his thorny head so quickly. You are really capable."

"The chief of Gonpo is telling the truth," Fu Chen paused, and then said, "But it is not easy for him to speak the truth in public."

"That's not true. You see that Podoro Santo is becoming more and more shameless now. He has become a master who does not shed tears when he sees the coffin. People in the clan have lived with him for a long time, and they have already had opinions. We Look, their Hulan is already at the end of their strength, and sooner or later they will admit surrender and be punished," Bois lamented, "I think Hulan was the root of the royal radical at the time, and the wolf lord Podoluo Udan when Hu Qiang was in its heyday The patriarch who is still worshiped so far, he would never have thought that such a scum would be the leader of Hulan after a hundred years..."

"You've also been drinking a lot, so you're being outspoken now," Fu Chen reminded secretly, "After all, it's a public event, so be careful with what you say."

Buwadun was alerted, shook his head, and realized later: "...you really hit the spot. There was a lot of trouble there just now, so I took advantage of the situation and drank an extra can."

"At a young age, it's not good for your health to swallow and drink heavily," Fu Chen said, "Be careful that extreme joy breeds sorrow."

"What kind of fun is this?" Bois laughed. "Would you like to follow me to the east side for a walk around those small tribes, it's really lively there..."

"I won't go," Fu Chen refused, "You play your tricks, I'm a foreigner who doesn't know the rules, so I won't get involved."

"Why are you so old-fashioned?" Bowa couldn't get used to it, "Don't you Yan people always say that you should enjoy yourself in time, and there is no reason to wrong yourself when it is over."

Fu Chen still declined.

In the distance, the sound of drums and drums kicked up and down, and many Hu people who had been sitting around the campfire stood up and danced accordingly.From time to time, there were still loud booing sounds from the crowd, and all of them turned into laughing warblers, which was extremely lively.

Bowa looked drunkenly at the noise in the distance, and murmured: "The night is getting late, the main event is coming..."

As soon as the fire was on, Fu Chen turned over the rabbit meat in his hand again, because the jerky was torn open and the thickness was even, it was much easier to roast than before, and it was already cooked.He added another fork to pry the outer layer of meat outward.

"Here they come... They actually came here..."

Buwa exclaimed beside him.

Hearing the sound, Fu Chen frowned and raised his eyes. The night was dark, and the flames disturbed his vision for no reason. It was bright yellow, and he couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly. Hudi Gele.

He lowered his head, trying to avoid the eyes of others.

In the distance, in addition to the drummers, there are also a group of bearded girls walking around Hu Xuyun.Princess Hu will definitely not accompany other people to wear ribbons, so wouldn't it be because of...

"My God..." Bowa stared in disbelief, and patted the people next to him, "They can't come here for you... Jia Sheng..."

Fu Chen followed the sound and raised his head. Amidst the roar of laughter, He Xujun left others and walked towards him, walking from a few feet away to a place a few steps away from him.

"Get up quickly! Hurry up!" Bowa urged in a low voice beside him.

Fu Chen didn't know, so he stood up.Seeing the woman approaching, he raised his hand and handed a red belt to her eyes.

There was another exclamation all around.

Fu Chen frowned, raised his eyes to ask each other, but saw that the woman's expression was normal, her cheeks were slightly blush and naive reflected in the red dress, the usual stern expression in the firelight was a little soft, but at this moment she seemed a little Indifference caused by tension.

"...What does this mean?"

Huxue stared at him intently, motionless, like a statue.

Fu Chen looked sideways, and Bowayu explained in a timely manner with an inconceivable tone: "It's a custom, women give ribbons as gifts to show the intention of getting married... Hey... Hurry up and follow..."

Fu Chen was stunned, and when he looked up again, he was already burnt by the firmness in the woman's eyes. He lowered his head and handed the barbecue meat in his hand to Bowa behind him: "This rabbit meat is already cooked, you take it and eat it first..."

Bowa took it anxiously, and urged: "What meat is not meat... Hurry up, I said, everyone here is waiting for you..."

Fu Chen took a step forward, and he could clearly feel the eyes of the people around him, hitting him with a crackling sound.

"Princess...you shouldn't be like this."

Huxun blinked, and raised the contents of his hands to his chest: "...There is no should or not, I just ask if you want it or not."

The young man hesitated here for too long, which made the originally noisy human voice and drum music weakened, and gradually started talking.

If it was a different person or another occasion, Fu Chen believed that he would refuse it calmly and neatly.

"...The princess loves you."

Fu Chen took a step back and was about to make a big gift.

Huxun stretched out his hand and tugged at his shoulder collar, looked down at him, and then said coldly: "No need."

Then he turned around and left, anyone could see that it was a rare expression of anger.

The music and dancing ceased, and the joyful atmosphere was completely broken by this episode, and the burning bonfire became only the source of black smoke.

Fu Chen hunched over, still maintaining the posture that he wanted to bow down and salute just now, lowered his head and eyes, and remained silent, with the humming of curses in his ears.

Suddenly a person burst out from the crowd, walked towards the field and raised his fist at the young man.

Fu Chen only felt a pain in the face, and the brute force of the blow made him fall backwards.

"You bastard who doesn't know what's good!"

The man kicked him again, and was about to bend over to hit him again. Seeing this, Bowa standing next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Mu Ke! Calm down!"

Only then did the surrounding audience wake up, and stepped forward to pull the angry people up one after another, so as not to cause any fatalities on this festival day.

"Hey...don't hit me! Calm down..."

Fu Chen straightened up half of his body from the ground, looking at the blurred figure being torn away by the crowd, he didn't recognize who it was.The burning pain on the forehead and the left cheek is both strange and familiar.

He raised his eyes and looked around, thinking that it was good, he couldn't see the disgusted or contemptuous eyes that everyone sent him, so he didn't need to think deeply about the meaning and reflect on his mistakes.

Everyone moved away from him, Fu Chen got up, wiped his face, and slowly sat back by the campfire, the heat transmitted back to him.

He silently looked at the fire core in the middle of the fire mass, which was far worse than the scorching sun fire wheel he had seen before when he looked up.

After a while, another person sat beside him, it was Bowa who had gone and returned.

"Alas," Bowa said, carrying a bunch of barbecued meat, "When I pulled Mu Ke just now, the rabbit meat was thrown on the ground first, and then stepped on twice by others..."

Fu Chen continued in a hoarse voice, "I'll bake another one for you."

Fortunately, there were enough prey distributed today, and they didn't think about taking back all the prey on the field when they left.

Bowa watched his movements silently for a while, and suddenly said: "...Even if you don't want to, you shouldn't face Princess Hu in front of the tribes. After all, there are still those traitors watching, and they are not united enough in the first place. , Doing this will make them come to see our jokes. They dare not mention it publicly, but they don’t know how to discuss it in private..."

"...I know," Fu Chen's black eyes were brightened by the flames, "but if I pretend to accept other people's ideas, it will be unfair to Princess Xi."

Bowa sighed, and said: "You said that you don't want to. In terms of conditions and status, it should be the princess who doesn't want to. Now that you don't have a wife, it's a huge advantage to really enter the royal family genealogy. Don't you want the benefit of being delivered to your door by a beautiful woman?... I really don't understand you."

Fu Chen smiled: "So what he said just now is correct, I just don't know what's good and what's wrong."

"Speaking of this," Bowa casually moved the wooden branch in his hand and said, "I've known you for the past few days, and this is the first time I've seen you being beaten like this...it's really not like your style."

Fu Chen glanced at him with a smile: "Are you relieved?"

Bois raised his eyebrows: "If it were two years ago when you first joined Hu, you would be very relieved. Now... I actually don't hate you, nor do I look down on you."

Fu Chen was busy with the cooked rabbit meat, and then said: "Thank you."

This thank-you speech made Bois feel a little ashamed: "Perhaps... maybe we should apologize to you."

"No need," Fu Chen smiled lightly, "Anyway, I can't stay here for long, now I just hope that I won't cause any trouble for you."

Bois was silent.

Fu Chen looked around for the rabbit meat, handed it to him and said, "This rabbit is a bit smaller, but the taste should be better than the one just now. Would you like to try it?"

Bo Wa took it, and then saw Fu Chen standing up straight, about to say, "...where are you going?"

"I'll go for a walk," Fu Chen took two steps, and then added, "It will also save you from being annoyed when you see me now."

Away from the turbulent and lively places, still returning to silence is the unique coldness in the Hudi night.

This is the original appearance of Hu Qiang.

Fu Chen headed west from the hunting ground, heading towards Huidanling where there were fewer people.

This is a place he is familiar with. In the past, he always used this place to practice sword skills in Hudi, and when he came back, he switched to other places.

Under the reflection of the night sky, the red pine forest has become a continuous black shadow, leaving an empty outline to attract people's imagination.

Fu Chen walked a few steps slowly, and suddenly saw a person at the end of the original slope, the color of the bright red clothes could be faintly glowing at night.

He was hesitating whether to come closer, but He Xuyun felt it first, turned his head and glanced at him: "Jia Sheng."

Fu Chen lost his expression, stepped forward according to the call, and said, "Princess."

He Xujun sat down on the ground and said, "Sit with me for a while."

Fu Chen didn't intend to refuse, so he sat down.

The two were speechless, He Xuyun looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "...I drank some wine at the evening banquet, and thought I was a little out of control, I'm sorry."

"Princess, you don't need to blame yourself. Jia knows that the princess has been traveling between the two places in the past year. Life and death are in the balance. It's really not easy." Fu Chen comforted him softly, "Even now, there are still disputes between clans. Princess Yu As far as a person is concerned, there is always a time to rest when the weight is on the shoulders."

"...You have misunderstood me," Hexun said, "It is really wrong for me to put you in a dilemma in public, but what I want is true."

Fu Chen lowered his eyes and said: "Princess cares about the stability of the Hu and Qiang tribe. If you want Jia to help, I will be willing to repay the kindness of taking us in. I can't ask for anything else."

"Are you looking down on yourself too much, or are you deliberately entangled with me?" He Xuyun smiled bitterly, "You have to tell you that I really care for you before you understand?"

Fu Chen's breathing tightened, and then he sighed: "...Jia doesn't dare to think about it."

"Jia Sheng, you are very defensive and guarded. You look the same to everyone. You are indifferent and alienated. Even if you keep the etiquette, you are trying to save trouble and effort, and you are not very pleasing." He Xuyun said, "Whether you are running away Those people are still in Le Guin's, and even the royal family, and there are not a few people who have opinions on you."

"Jia understands."

Hu Xujun kept looking up and looking into the distance when she was talking, only Hu Qiang Shanshui who grew up with her gave her tolerance and strength: "...But you are also different from them. You can ignore what others are greedy for, and others are afraid of it. You can welcome things with confidence. You are respectful to me now, but I know that there is no one who can really catch your eyes in this entire Hu Qiang territory, up and down."

Fu Chen was silent.

"That's why I expected you to reject me." Huxun blinked his eyes lonely, "I don't ask you for anything. You confessed early on that you were suffering from a hidden disease and you didn't have many days to live. If I I'm sorry for your impulsiveness tonight."

"Princess speaks seriously," Fu Chen said slowly, "...Among the women Jia has met before, most of them are smarter than men, and the princess is still the best among them. Unfortunately, I have no luck to bear it."

He Xuyun suddenly turned his head: "Then you treat me...what's the matter with your face?"

Just now I couldn't see clearly in the dark, but now I got closer, I saw the young man's eyes were bruised and purple from the corner of his chin, and the blood was not cleanly smeared on it, Huxun's face turned cold: "I didn't see you at the banquet just now... I'll go After that, someone hit you?"

Fu Chen smiled, and said comfortingly: "The princess doesn't need to be held accountable, there is nothing wrong with his beating."

"...It's outrageous," Huxun darkened his anger, "Who hit him?"

Fu Chen shook his head.

"...You didn't fight back?" the woman said in disbelief.

Fu Chen shook his head again, and He Xu frowned: "Who the hell?...Is it Mu Ke? His brother is not there? Tienal's people just let him beat you in public? They don't know that you are the king now Ministry people?"

The woman got up annoyed, and the young man grabbed the tight wrist on her side, and patted the back of his hand twice. Seeing that he had calmed down, he withdrew behind him, stared at his eyes very seriously, and said slowly:

"Princess, I'm a rotten person."

The woman's fingertips trembled.

"I am grateful to the princess from the bottom of my heart, but I know that people are light-hearted, penniless, and burdened with sins that cannot be redeemed. The princess is right. I am polite to others on the surface, but in fact I am indifferent. On the one hand, I was isolated from the world when I was young. I don't know human feelings, and on the other hand, it's because I don't want others to touch me too much, so as not to transfer all my filth to them in the future. For Jia, the princess is a bright and sunny day. Yao Yukong, I am so lowly and light, I am not worthy of it."

Hu Xuyun looked at his face covered with bruises and scars, his expression was gray and silent, and his heart was filled with unspeakable emotion. When he opened his mouth, he could only squeeze out a look that seemed to be crying but not smiling: "Jia Sheng, you always let me know you well." You can't hate people. Because you have always been used to doing things and saying things, so that others can only follow your ideas... But at this time, I really want to hate you. "

Fu Chen's expression moved, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Chao Er's tangled words when he confessed his feelings to him that day.It's ridiculous to say, but when he was going to die with a heart full of gloom, he suddenly became the sweet potato that everyone is vying for...

It's a pity that even if such good things come in one after another, they will all become a disaster of bitterness and hatred when they meet him, the disaster star of the family.

The winter wind is infinitely cold, and it is not free to fight for the boat.

"...If the princess can really hate me, that's a good thing."

He Xuyun avoided his gaze, took two steps to the side, and said:

"Our daughters of Hu Qiang have a short lifespan and are indifferent to human relations. It is common for a Hu Qiang man to have multiple concubines. My father and mother used to have a close relationship. As far as I can remember, my mother is no longer alive. There is no brother who will inherit the position of wolf lord in the future, and my father and king do not want to marry anyone else. Therefore, I have made a private resolution since I was a child that I will not be involved in marriage and marriage in this life, and will assist my father in managing Hu Qiang's affairs."

He Xujun stretched out his hand to untie the red ribbon from his sleeve, stared for a long time under the light moonlight, and said: "Hu Qiang's rules are exactly the opposite of yours in Yandi. In Hudi, daughters are like men since childhood Birth, hair and crown, riding and shooting wild hunting skills are all the same. On the contrary, after getting married in adulthood, take off the hair band, you can take care of your husband and raise your children at home, and it will be difficult to go hunting after that. He fell in a hurry."

The woman took out another fire pocket, and with a "crack", rubbed the fire to ignite the red ribbon, and when it was completely burned, she threw it on the ground and crushed the sparks with the sole of her shoe to extinguish it.

"You don't have to blame yourself," Huxun raised his eyes forward, "If I hadn't been obsessed with drunkenness today, I wouldn't have told anyone about it, including you. Now that I've said it , the fault lies with me and it is not your fault, you have the right to act as if it never happened, if someone still provokes you with this matter in the future, you can just fight back with your fist, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Fu Chen looked at the soft and slender figure of the woman in front of him, and felt pity in his heart, and said, "The princess is just too lonely. Although this Hu Qiang has always claimed that all clans belong to one family, but he really treats each other like close relatives." Brother, there is no difference, so there is no difference between closeness and closeness. Besides, since I entered the Hu, I have also found that there are undercurrents surging in it, and it is not as united as it appears on the surface. Under such circumstances, I only hope that the princess will not treat herself harshly. Since there is no conflict, why insist on wronging yourself instead of looking around."

Hu Xujun slightly curled his lips: "I really never expected that such words could come out of your mouth..."

"That's why it's particularly convincing," the young man stepped forward, "isn't it?"

"...Jia Sheng."

"Ok?"

"From now on... can you follow my father and call me 'Ah Jun'?" Seeing him stunned, He Xujun knew it was ridiculous, and then continued, "Forget it... I just got drunk again, you Take it for granted that I am talking nonsense. If that is true, there may be many people in the clan who will accuse you of this point..."

Fu Chen was dumbfounded, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, looking up at the stars and the moon in the sky following the woman's line of sight, and said: "The end of the year should always be a day of reunion. Although the wolf master is far away in Yannan, at this moment, he must also miss the princess... Yan Wenli There is a saying, 'I wish you a long life, and you will share the joys and joys of thousands of miles'."

Huxun didn't understand, so he read it silently, and only asked, "What do you mean?"

"'Chanjuan' means a beautiful woman. A woman is like water, and she is the spirit of heaven and earth. Therefore, only the bright moon can be compared," Fu Chen said with a slight smile. If we look up to each other under the same moon, it is enough to comfort the missing heart if we meet face to face."

He Xujun nodded, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and said, "It's a pity that the moon is too thin and dark tonight, so I can't see it clearly."

"There is also a saying about this kind of moon. There is a curved line with a shallow hook, just like a woman's crescent eyebrow, so it can also be called 'Crescent Crescent Moon' in Yandi."

Huxun turned his head to look at him, she has always been clear that although young people are practicing martial arts, they always have the unspeakable affection of Yandi literati, which makes her very strange, but it seems that there is a high mountain, and the distance between them is getting closer and closer. Yuan Yuan: "The woman you like must be as petite and charming as Yan Nu... just like the noble concubine Ni and Mrs. Tang that Yan Palace saw before?"

Fu Chen was slightly startled, his eyebrows twitched: "...Not necessarily."

The rough voice of the young man was extremely low, just like a whisper.But Huxun had keen eyes and ears, and still caught his words: "What do you mean? You already have someone in mind?"

"……Yes."

Huxun raised his eyebrows and rounded his eyes.It was expected for the young man to reject her, but he had never thought that he had a girl he liked before, because he was always busy with business, and he didn't see any contact with her in Yandi, so he thought he had been alone all these years: "...is Yannv?"

"...No." Fu Chen pursed his lips.

He Xujun was surprised again: "Could it be a woman from our Hudi?"

"No," Fu Chen said hastily, "...he's not here."

"Then where is she?"

"He's... thousands of miles away."

Huxun took the handle, raised his eyebrows and said, "She knows you like her?"

Fu Chen had no choice but to deal with his questioning: "...I know."

"Since I know, on this happy reunion day, why don't I come to accompany you and leave you here alone?" He Xuyun was rarely aggressive, "...Could it be that you fell in love with her, but she didn't fancy you?"

"I'm a man, why should I be accompanied by him?"

"Then you are willing to let her live alone in a distant place that you can't see? Since we share our hearts, why can't we meet each other?" Huxun said, "I know you are a cautious and sincere person. If you have confessed your feelings to her Thoughts, she must also know that you don't have much time left... Maybe it's because she despises your illness again... If it's bothering me, then it's unnecessary, the land is vast, and there is no shortage of her. Board and lodging. You tell me where she is, and I can send someone to fetch her."

Fu Chen smiled wryly: "The princess is kind, but it doesn't have to be like this... He also has his burdens, and I don't want to hinder him. If there is affection, it will not be weakened because of the distance. I only know that he is safe, That's enough to make you happy."

"I only know that if I am interested in him, I will definitely want to see him every day." He Xuyun didn't expect that he still had this experience, and only felt that the mountains and rivers separating him from him had added another layer of confusion. fog.

Fu Chen turned his head to avoid the woman's gaze, and said: "I also have the same thoughts... But, I want him to be truly happy, so I let him do what he should do. Besides, he treats me like this , I can't let him be tied to me for my own selfishness. If I can fulfill him before I die, I will... have no regrets in this life. "

A bright moon hangs in the sky, and the rock remains motionless.
