The two chatted and finished telling Zhuangzi in a short while, but Li Zexuan was a little reluctant to give up at this moment.

"Miss Han, where do you usually go to pick wild fruits?" Li Zexuan, who was reluctant to leave, started to ask for words.

Han Yuxi pointed to the mountain behind them and said, "It's on that mountain."

Li Zexuan looked along her green-white hands and saw that the hill was densely forested and said, "Aren't you usually afraid when you go alone? What if you encounter a beast like a tiger?"

Han Yuxi laughed when she heard this and said: "There were indeed some ferocious tigers and ferocious beasts in the mountains in the past few years, but in those years the world was in war and the harvest was not good. Many people in the village were starving, so my father organized villagers to go hunting in the mountains. These days Over the years, all the large beasts in this mountain have been wiped out.”

Hearing this, Li Zexuan said, "Oh, let's go to the mountains and have a look."

Han Yuxi nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked towards the mountain. Several peach blossoms were in full bloom at the foot of the mountain, which was really beautiful. Several butterflies were dancing among the wild flowers on the roadside, and several birds were chasing each other and playing in the jungle on the mountain. The beauty was beside him and the beautiful scenery was in front of him. Li Zexuan was very happy in his heart.

"Miss Han, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not." Li Zexuan asked.

"Young master, if you have anything to say, say it. Yu Xi will tell you everything he knows."

Li Zexuan hesitated and said, "Why didn't I see your mother at your house?"

Han Yuxi's face instantly turned pale when she heard this, and deep sadness flashed in her eyes. Li Zexuan immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Han, I was presumptuous. Don't be sad."

Han Yuxi shook her head and was silent for a long time before saying: "My mother died of dystocia after giving birth to an iron egg. I was seven years old at that time, and my father was still fighting on the front line. In order to support my younger brother, I went to help the people in Plum Village next door. Mr. Liu's family herds cows and sheep, feeds horses and chops firewood. When he makes money, he buys goat milk for his younger brother.

Mr. Liu's family was the previous owner of Hanjiazhuang. They were very harsh people and often bullied the farmers in the village. Everyone was angry and dared not speak out, fearing that Landlord Liu would not give us the land to plant.

Tiedan was very naughty when he was a child. He cried when I left, so I had to take him to work. Later, when I could hardly hold on anymore, my dad finally came back. That was when I was nine years old, that is, in the sixth year of Wude, my father came back with a limp leg.

My father joined the army in the first year of Wude, and was later transferred to General Qin as a personal guard. In the sixth year of Wude, the Turks attacked our border with the Tang Dynasty, and my father accompanied General Qin to fight.

Later, I heard from my father that during a pursuit battle, General Qin was ambushed by the Turks. The Turkic general Ashina Sheerji tried to kill General Qin with a bow and arrow in the enemy army. My father rushed over at the critical moment. , flew forward and knocked General Qin down, but the arrow penetrated my father's thigh.

At that time, he could no longer care about the treatment of his injuries. My father was lame and followed General Qin to fight the enemy. General Yuchi happened to lead an army to help. Only then did my father and General Qin break out of the encirclement and fight with the reinforcements to annihilate the enemy.

After returning to the camp, although the arrow wound on my father's leg was healed, due to the late treatment, his right leg became disabled and it was difficult to return to the battlefield. My father knew that General Qin would definitely not abandon him, but he did not want to drag General Qin down, so he left a letter and secretly came back alone. "

As Han Yuxi recalled, Li Zexuan's thoughts also returned to that era when wars were raging and human lives were at stake. He also admired tough guys like Han Lizheng in his heart. Without the bloody battles of countless people like Han Lizheng, the Tang Dynasty would not have existed. In today's Taiping, the Han people's clothes may be slaughtered by the foreign cavalry.

No wonder I saw a Mo Dao in Han Lizheng's house before. I didn't expect that he was also a commendable and respectable soldier of the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that Han Yuxi was so weak on the outside but so strong on the inside. When she was seven years old, she had to support her infant brother alone. One can imagine the hardships involved.

Seeing that Han Yuxi still had sadness in her eyes, Li Zexuan couldn't help but patted her on the shoulder and said, "Miss Han, don't be sad. At least you, Tiedan, and your father are all living well now. Your mother knows her well." , I will definitely be pleased. Besides, with me here, the people of Hanjiazhuang will have better and better days in the future." As he spoke, Li Zexuan didn't know how to go on, and he wasn't very good at comforting people.

"Pfft!" Seeing Li Zexuan racking his brains to think of words to comfort her, Han Yuxi couldn't help crying and said with a smile: "I just comforted the young master, but I didn't expect that the young master would come to comfort me again now."

Hearing what Han Yuxi said, Li Zexuan thought about it and found it quite interesting, and said with a smile: "In this case, let's stop comforting each other. We will be happy in the future, so that our ancestors who love us can leave with peace of mind. .”

Han Yuxi agreed softly: "Yes." Only then did she feel the weight on her shoulders. It turned out that Li Zexuan's hand had been resting on her shoulders. Han Yuxi turned around and blushed immediately.

Li Zexuan followed her gaze and found his claws. He secretly blamed himself for forgetting to take them off when he patted her shoulders to comfort her. Of course, it was not enough whether he forgot to take them off or he was reluctant to take them off at the time. It is also a way for outsiders.

Feeling the body temperature on her fingertips and smelling the daughter's fragrance on Han Yuxi's body, she couldn't help but feel a little distraught. But seeing the tears still wet at the corners of Han Yuxi's eyes, Li Zexuan secretly cursed himself as a beast, quickly took his hand off, and explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to comfort you, I didn't mean it."

Han Yuxi blushed even more when she heard this, clasped her little hands, looked down at her toes, and said softly: "It's okay, Yuxi knows that the young master is not a frivolous person."

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the mountain, and Li Zexuan didn't know what to say at this moment. Although he had a girlfriend in his previous life, he met her online. In reality, he is still clumsy and a true otaku.

Unlike the playboy in his dormitory who could seduce a girl with just a few words when he saw her, he could not wait to commit himself to her immediately. He had always envied his roommate's ability to seduce girls, but this was not envy. Come.

Naturally, Han Yuxi couldn't speak. She was also very upset at the moment. Li Zexuan was tall and handsome, and he was very gentle to her. Although she couldn't say she was deeply in love with Li Zexuan, after all, they had only been together for one day. But she still has some affection for Li Zexuan.

After a long time, Li Zexuan finally broke the silence and said: "Miss Han, let's go down the mountain. It's getting late, and I should go home."

When Han Yuxi heard this, her face darkened slightly, and she felt a little disappointed for no reason. She didn't know when we would see each other again after we said goodbye today, so she responded in a low voice: "Yes!"

The two walked side by side down the mountain.
