"boom!"
The sound of artillery sounded, and at the same time, the ground shook three times.
Since the withdrawal of the troops, the Sanyi people bombarded the shore with artillery day and night. Although no one was hurt, the people were frightened and could not sleep at night.
The lieutenant officers and soldiers were on standby to prevent the Sanyi people from landing on the shore.
But the Sanyi people had experienced the previous battles, and they had already raised their vigilance and dared not go ashore easily. The way they kept bombarding with artillery was to exhaust Beili's army.
The lieutenant soldiers could barely support him, but Yu Fu couldn't hold on.
She had difficulty falling asleep at night due to her many thoughts, and every time she managed to fall asleep, she was soon woken up by the roar of the artillery.
When she woke up in the morning, Yao Lan was dressing her up, and when she heard the familiar sound of cannons outside, Yu Fu remained expressionless.
She comforted herself in her heart that it would be fine after she got used to listening, and the more she was disturbed by it, the more pleased the Sangyi people were.
Thinking of this, she showed a faint smile in the mirror, and found that her eyes were dark, so she picked up the powder box to cover it up.
Suddenly I heard Yao Lan exclaiming in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Yao Lan's hand trembled, and a strand of hair that had just been gathered in her hand slumped and slipped from her hand.
She frantically tried to cover it up, but Yu Fu took the bundle of hair, and was surprised to see half a strand of white hair intermingled with it, which was extremely dazzling.
She froze.
A figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, Gu Shubai came in from the door, and saw their master and servant flustered and dazed.
He looked into the jade armrest, the dazzling color made his eyes condense slightly.
Seeing him from the mirror, Yu Fu was at a loss for a moment, still clutching the strand of hair in his palm.
Gu Shubai paused, walked in with a smile as usual, and took her hand holding her hair without any trace, "For breakfast today, the kitchen made your favorite crab cake."
The hair fell out of her hands, Yao Lan picked it up and combed it into a bun for her, then retreated.
Yu Fu forced a smile, "Really? Then I want to eat more."
"You wash up first, and I'll get it for you."
He turned around and walked out of the inner room, until he walked to the door of the room that Yu Fu couldn't see, then stopped and leaned against the wall, raising his hands behind his back.
He held a piece of white hair in his hand, it was long and only half silvery white, but it was shocking.
After this year, Yufu was only seventeen, how could she have gray hair so soon
Tianshu came from the side room with the medicine in his hand, and saw Gu Shubai standing in the corridor, "What are you doing standing here?"
Gu Shubai hurriedly put his hands behind his back, Tianshu still saw the silvery white, and opened his eyes, "What is this?"
"Hush."
Gu Shubai motioned to him in a low voice, and stretched out his hand behind his back, and there was a white hair in the palm.
He frowned, and at the same time lowered his voice, "Is this from Yufu? Master once said that her hair was soaked in the mountain spring water of Immortal Valley, and she had gray hair so quickly. She was less than ten years old. Seven years old!"
Gu Shubai looked at the medicine bowl in his hand, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Why are you boiling medicine so early in the morning today? What happened to Yufu's body?"
Tianshu's eyes dodged a little, and he paused, "Since the withdrawal of the troops, the Sanyi people's artillery fire has been endless day and night, how do you let Yufu rest? The burden on her shoulders is too heavy, and there are too many things. Naturally, we should give her more medicine to nourish the body."
He looked at the white hair in Gu Shubai's hands, and sighed softly, "Looks like I still need to study this medicine, Yufu will feel very sad when he sees it."
"She has seen it."
"What?!"
Tianshu looked at him displeasedly, "Your martial art is so high, how could you let Yufu see it?"
He has been with Yuehu for a long time, and he has also acquired some of Yuehu's impatient temperament, especially when it comes to Yufu's matter.
Gu Shubai had no choice but to say, "When I entered the room, Yaolan was dressing her. She was holding this hair in her hand, and she could see it clearly. Don't mention it when you go in later, just say something happy and inspiring." To get her attention, I'll get her breakfast."
After that, he walked towards the kitchen.
Tianshu stood where he was, thinking about what to say to make Yufu happy, and after a while he came up with an idea, and walked towards the house.
Yu Fu had already finished her makeup, and her high bun made her palm-sized face look thinner and thinner. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and stared blankly at herself in the mirror.
The beauty in the mirror has snow-covered skin, a peerless appearance, and every frown and smile amazes the world.
But she couldn't laugh.
Reluctantly to laugh, but only a bitter mouth.
Tianshu was standing under the bead curtain with the medicine in his hand, before he could speak, Yufu raised his hand to pull out the gold hairpin, and his long hair flowed down like a waterfall.
This scene of her hair like a flowing spring and her clothes like a butterfly is vaguely her most beautiful time.
Only she herself knows how many mottled silvery whites are underneath the black hair like silk on the surface.
She stretched out her hand to stroke her long hair, from the top of her head to the end of her hair, and finally on the hand that passed through the long hair, there were a few strands of solitary hair.
Tianshu's heart skipped a beat, and he saw her turn her head slowly.
"Second senior brother, look at my hair loss. Master said that besides the hair is blood, do I have insufficient energy and blood, and a loss of energy?"
Tianshu opened his mouth and immediately denied, "People have so much hair, it's common to lose a few hairs occasionally, and I often lose hair too. Don't worry too much, it's normal."
Yu Fu shook his head, "No, I didn't lose my hair before. Master said that my hair was washed in the mountain spring of Immortal Valley, so it was black, thick and shiny, how could I lose it?"
She looked at Tianshu, "I still have white hair. Big Brother and Yao Lan saw it just now, half of my hair is white."
Tianshu didn't know how to comfort her for a while, he hesitated and said: "This is the end of the matter, how about..."
"No."
Yu Fu's voice was soft but firm, she didn't know what to think, she quickly raised her head and smiled and said: "Brother, please help me cut my hair, just like when I was a child, okay?"
Yu Fuchang has only had his hair cut once, which is the year of the chief horn.
At that time, all the brothers in Yan Zhong liked her, and they all rushed to cut her hair. In the end, there was a fight to decide the winner, and Tianshu cut her hair.
Naturally, Yuehu was away from Immortal Valley at that time, otherwise he would not be able to grab this opportunity.
After nearly ten years, Tianshu picked up the scissors again, but his hands were trembling.
"Yu Fu, have you really thought about it?"
"Thought it out."
Facing the bronze mirror, Yu Fu said with certainty, "With my current physical condition, it would be better if I cut my hair. Otherwise, I would feel even more uncomfortable seeing gray hair and falling hair every day, so I might as well cut it."
Tianshu nodded silently, and knelt down to gather her hair. When her hair was completely loose, it was already at the crook of her knees.
He gestured a few times with the scissors, and thought of many complicated things in his mind.
Thinking about how Gu Shubai would react when he came in and saw the long hair all over the floor, whether Yuehu would blame him after returning to Beijing, thinking about how Master would react if he knew...
No matter what, Yufu is still the most important right now.
He shook his head, and finally picked up the scissors and cut it off. With a click, a large bunch of long hair fell to the ground.
Yufu closed his eyes.
Outside the door, Gu Shubai was holding a food plate with Yufu's favorite crab cake on it, but he didn't go into the room, but stood outside the door all the time.
The sound of scissors clicking and clicking was more piercing than the sound of artillery shooting into the sky outside.
He heard the conversation between Yufu and Tianshu, from the beginning to the end, he supported no matter what decision Yufu made, but he just couldn't convince himself to go in.
The body, hair and skin, received by parents, dare not harm them, this is the beginning of filial piety.
For a filial person like Yufu, this knife was not cut on her hair, but on her heart.
After a long time, the sound of scissors finally stopped.
Tianshu squatted down, carefully put away the long hair that fell on the ground, and tied it tightly with a red thread, "It is the tradition of Beili people not to cut their hair. Even if they do, they should be carefully stored until death Then it was buried together with the coffin. Master kept the hair you cut when you were a child, and these... I will also keep it for you."
Compared with the little hair when I was a child, there are so many of them now.
Only then did Yu Fu open his eyes, look at himself in the mirror, stretch out his hand to gather the hair from the back in front of his body, and stroke the ends of the hair lightly with his hand, it did not reach his waist.
She muttered to herself, "I don't know if I can make my hair into a bun properly, Yaolan will have to work hard."
I don't know how long it has passed, when Gu Shubai went back, Yufu's hair had been coiled up again, and the hair on the ground was also cleaned up, without any trace.
Yu Fu didn't ask him why he went there for so long, and he didn't ask why Yu Fu changed her hair bun.
The couple had a tacit understanding for a long time, and it was tacit understanding.
"The crab cake made in the kitchen in the morning, the servant accidentally dropped it on the floor, so I made a new one. Try it quickly, is it the same as before?"
Yu Fu picked up a piece according to his words, resisting the feeling of nausea, until he swallowed with difficulty, then raised his head and showed him a sweet smile.
Suddenly footsteps came from outside the courtyard, Yao Lan held the letter above her head with both hands, and came in quickly, "Your Majesty, a letter from the Ministry of Industry!"
