Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Vinegar

Before He Yan had time to speak, Xiao Jue glanced at her, turned and left.

Before the light in front of him was taken off, He Yan couldn’t care about it, and quickly moved away from the crowd and followed. The craftsman behind him was taken aback, calling her: “Girl, you forgot to take the lamp!”

There was no response.

He Xinying also heard the craftsman’s shout, and subconsciously followed the craftsman’s gaze, and saw a familiar figure hurriedly leaving.

She was stunned, this figure from the back looked exactly like the Wuan Hou Heyan that she had met in Yuhua Temple before.

For some reason, she and He Yan are only one-sided, but the impression is very deep. Xu Zhiheng next to her asked her, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing.” He Xinying returned to her senses, “Let’s look at the lamp.” Her heart was a little worried.

Since marrying Xu Zhiheng, Xu Zhiheng will accompany her to the night market whenever he has time. During this period of time, Xu Zhiheng was busy with official duties, but he hadn’t come here for two months. Yesterday, when she returned to Xu’s house, Xu Zhiheng made an unprecedented offer to accompany her to stroll around for a while. If he changed to the past, He Xinying would be very happy, but now walking beside Xu Zhiheng, she is no longer excited and even a little nervous.

The mother’s illness, the assassin that night, and the war books hidden by the dead elder sister in the bedpost were all suspicious. But she couldn’t do anything, and she had to pretend to be ignorant.

She stared at the colorful lanterns in front of her eyes, but the back of the hurried departure just appeared in her mind, thinking deeply.

…

The crowd was crowded, and He Yan finally grabbed Xiao Jue’s sleeve and said, “You go slowly. There are so many people here. I have been separated to find you for a long time. I was trampled on several feet just now.”

He just walked forward and didn’t look back, but his pace slowed down a bit after all.

In the crowd coming and going, He Yan used the strength of throwing a stone lock to tighten his sleeves, almost not torn Xiao Jue’s sleeves, and finally walked out of the crowd, along the river.

“Xiao Jue,” He Yan stared at him and asked, “Are you angry?”

Xiao Jue did not speak.

He tilted his head, He Yan couldn’t see his expression clearly, so he stood on tiptoe and leaned close to him to see clearly. Blocked by Xiao Jue’s arm, He Yan pushed away from him.

“Are you really angry?” He Yan said: “I just…”

“He Yan,” Xiao Jue interrupted her, looking straight at her with a low voice, “Are you…”

He Yan looked at him.

“I’m still in love with Xu Zhiheng?”

“Cough cough cough–” She coughed from choking.

“Don’t laugh!” He Yan denied, “You don’t know what he did. How could I have no feelings for him?”

“Oh?” He raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp, “that is, there was love in the past?”

He Yan almost didn’t come up in one breath, and was stunned by Xiao Jue’s question. No matter how she answered these questions, it seemed that she was wrong. After a long while, He Yan whispered: “Neither did it in the past.”

Xiao Jue looked down at her with no expression on his face. He Yan was seen with a guilty conscience. He carefully lied about the sentence: “You know, the words of the matchmaker of my parents, I didn’t have the right to choose in my previous life. After I returned to my identity, it was naturally what the family said… The He family arranged for me to marry Xu Zhiheng, and I would marry. I didn’t…no love.”

He Yan had an inexplicable feeling of guilty conscience that her husband had discovered the adultery, and she also had a headache in her heart. She just glanced at Xu Zhiheng under the lantern just now, who knew it would cause such a big trouble. But in this way, it seems that she is more guilty. After all, Xiao Jue had never had any other girl before her.

“But I heard that when you married Xu Zhiheng, you were very happy.” He looked at the river under the fence with calm eyes.

He Yan was agitated: “Who said that? Such rumors and me behind the scenes can be punishable!”

Xiao Jue glanced at her faintly. He Yan froze for a moment, then bowed his head, “Well, when I didn’t know he was this kind of person before, there was… a little bit.” She used her little finger to compare with her thumb. , “It’s just a little bit, the ant is so big that it will be trampled to death with one foot.”

Xiao Jue laughed angrily and said lazily: “Then tell me, why do you like him? Even if you don’t know who he is, your eyesight,” he looked at He Yan, “it’s much lower than ordinary people.”

Is he cursing Xu Zhiheng or himself? He Yan said in his heart, Su Rili didn’t think that Young Master really had a temper. It was really hard to coax. Why ask such an embarrassing question is tantamount to taking a knife and slamming people. The eyes of the people in front of her kept staring at her, and her beautiful eyes were full of scrutiny.

He Yan sighed, “At that time, I just thought this person was good.”

Xiao Jue smiled mockingly.

“Do you remember the time when Dongshan was hunting, when you secretly gave me a rabbit?” He Yan asked.

“Um.”

“In order to make the emperor happy, the gentlemen in the Xianchang Pavilion, the students worked hard and set the rules. If there is no hunted prey, they cannot eat and are hungry for a whole day.”

He Yan now thinks about it and still feels filled with righteous indignation, “The person who made this rule is simply sick. The death row prisoners were given a full meal, but they did not have any prey, so they made such a cruel and inhuman punishment… Give me the rabbit, but I let it go, I didn’t hunt any prey.”

If summer is okay, it will be really uncomfortable to be hungry on a snowy day. At the end of the hunt, He Yan looked at the young people around him who had returned home in twos and threes, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She met Xu Zhiheng at that time.

At that time, Xu Zhiheng was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. He was dressed in qing robes. He looked handsome and gentle. He Yan hungry and walked to the place where she put her baggage. There was deep snow on the ground. She went to the hunting field in the morning. It was getting dark before coming out. I was really weak. I didn’t watch out for a stone buried in the snow. I accidentally kicked it up. He staggered and threw half of his body into the snow. He didn’t get up for a while.

While she was thumping in the snow, suddenly, she heard a voice in front of her: “Are you okay?”

He Yan raised his head and saw a boy in Tsing Yi.

This young man looks dreadful, he should not be a student at Hyunchang Hall. However, today’s hunting in the mountains is attended by students from other academies. It is estimated that it is a student in another school.

He Yan was still in a daze, but the boy smiled, and directly reached out and grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll help you.” He pulled her up from the snow.

She still wears a mask on her face, the mask is cold, but the boy’s hands are very warm.

“My name is Xu Zhiheng, but Xiongtai is from Xianchang Hall?”

He Yan nodded indiscriminately.

“I heard that the rules of Xianchang Pavilion are very strict. I didn’t hunt any prey today, so I had to be hungry.” Xu Zhiheng looked at her empty hands, “It’s a pity that I didn’t go hunting, otherwise I can divide the prey into you. NS.”

In Xianchang Hall, she was considered lonely, and she had never had any friends. Because of her mask, others also felt that she was quite uncomfortable, and she was too lazy to get close, and it was the first time she had met such an enthusiastic person. I don’t know what to say for a while.

“Are you going to take your burden over there?” Xu Zhiheng asked, “Shall I help you? Seeing that you can’t walk anymore.”

He Yan was about to say no, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt a lot of pain in his ankle, and it seemed that he had just twisted it. Thinking of this, he nodded slightly to the boy, and said straightforwardly: “Thank you.” He pointed to the red baggage, “That’s mine.”

Xu Zhiheng turned around and went to the high platform to help He Yan take the baggage. After he took the baggage back and sent it to He Yan’s hands, he held her up to the carriage where the students of Xianchang Hall were sitting before leaving.

At that time, He Yan looked at Xu Zhiheng’s back, and felt that this young man was really warm and considerate.

When I returned to Xianchang Hall, it was really a day without food. He Yan hid in the house alone and poured himself some hot tea. The more he drank, the more hungry he became, his stomach gurgling non-stop.

But is there any way? The rules of Hyunchang Hall are the strictest. Besides, she really didn’t hunt anything, she really wanted to go, and she couldn’t pull that face down. After sitting for a while, He Yan sighed helplessly, took the baggage over, and prepared to put the pen and paper with him in the day again. As soon as he opened the baggage, two yellow loquats were rolled out of it.

How can there be loquats in this season?

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously picked up the loquat. The loquat was big and heavy, and the aroma could be vaguely smelled. This baggage has always been placed on the high platform. When hunting, the students only carried quiver and arrows for the purpose of being light. After thinking about it, the only person who has encountered this burden is the boy in Tsing Yi named Xu Zhiheng.

She peeled off the loquat, took a sip, and the fruit was sweet. Thinking of the boy’s face and smile just now, she felt that today’s luck was not too bad.

A few years later, when He Yan returned from the battlefield and exchanged identities with He Rufei, when Mrs. He told herself that a marriage was made for her, and the other party’s name was Xu Zhiheng, He Yan was astonished. , And a hint of joy. Women’s marriages in the He family have always paved the way for men. Compared to marrying a stranger who has never been masked, marrying Xu Zhiheng is obviously the best one of her choices.

Regardless of how people outside praised Uncle Xu for his youthfulness, in He Yan’s heart, he only felt that Xu Zhiheng, who was in his early ten years, was able to be so considerate and considerate to the people who met in the water, and he must be a good person. At that time, she actually had many expectations for this marriage. Even when Xu Zhiheng came to favor He Wanru, He Wanru had always been in front of her, but with the two loquats of her youth, He Yan had always had some illusions about Xu Zhiheng.

Until after blindness, until Xu Zhiheng personally broke this illusion little by little.

“So,” Xiao Jue played with taste: “You like him because of two loquats?”

“That’s right.” He Yan said, “I just think that he can take care of other people’s mood in this way and see through the embarrassment of others, at least he is a good person.”

“Your likes are really random.” Xiao Jue sneered, walked forward, took two steps, then stopped, and said coldly: “I gave those two loquats.”

He Yan was stunned.

He had already continued to walk towards the river. He Yan was taken aback for a moment, followed by a few steps, and grabbed his sleeve, “How is it possible? You lied to me?”

Xiao Jue looked down at her, his eyes calm.

Back then, Lin Shuanghe proposed to give He Yan a rabbit. He shot one when he was too bored, but He Yan released the rabbit. Because he thought of his childhood experience in the mountains, he was different from this kid who seemed to have little strength. Look at each other. It is also known that students who have not hunted prey today will be hungry for a day when they return to Xianchang Hall.

As the number one in this hunt, Xiao Jue has won many rewards. The people in the palace even gave imperial food, and there were two loquats in it.

Loquats in this season are not available everywhere. He didn’t have much interest in this kind of sweet fruit. When he left, passing by the high platform, he caught a glimpse of the red baggage in the corner, vaguely remembering that the baggage seemed to be “He Rufei”.

That kid didn’t hunt anything today. After returning home, he was hungry for the whole night, and it was winter again. I’m afraid it would be difficult. He looked at the imperial food basket he was holding, and thought that when he first met “He Rufei”, he had seen this guy standing under the loquat tree in the academy, and jumped up again and again trying to pick the loquat, which was extremely funny. . After thinking about it, he stopped, took the two loquats out of the food basket, and stuffed them into the red baggage.

He Yan stammered: “Isn’t it? You really gave it to you?”

Xiao Jue looked at her quietly.

He Yan said in his heart, this is over, it’s like Xiao Jue did a good deed and was cut off by Xu Zhiheng. How can he feel comfortable in his heart because of all the wrong things? But at this moment, how can he calm his anger?

“Today is your birthday. I forgot to take the lamp just now. What kind of gift do you want…” She awkwardly removed the conversation and caught a glimpse of someone selling candied gourds on the opposite street, and said: “You wait “I rushed over, bought a bunch of candied haws, ran back, and handed it to Xiao Jue: “Here you!”

Xiao Jue turned his head to the side.

He may be really angry.

He Yan was in trouble. There is no way to redeem the past events. She has indeed been moved by Xu Zhiheng and married Xu Zhiheng, but Xiao Jue has not. She had never experienced Xiao Jue’s mood at the moment, but she knew very well in her heart that it might not feel good.

He Yan walked around him, “Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue?”

Xiao Jue avoided her gaze and only looked at the gurgling river under the fence.

At some point, there was little snow in the world, and the snow particles fell on him one after another, far away from the crowd in the night market, He Yan finally felt cold. I suddenly remembered what Qingmei had said to her before leaving.

He Yan glanced at Xiao Jue. The person still didn’t look at her. She let out a sneeze, sneezed exaggeratedly, and said to herself: “It’s cold.”

The next moment, the warmth fell from the sky, Xiao Jue turned around, took off his cloak and put it on her, finally he turned around and took a look at her.

He Yan hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and rushed in front of him, “Are you not angry?”

Xiao Jue helped her fasten the rope in front of the cloak, but ignored her.

His cloak was so big that he almost wanted to cage He Yan in. He Yan was afraid that he would be cold, so he moved very close to Xiao Jue, such as when he was drunk that night, he almost stuck to him. She raised her head and teased Xiao Jue, “I’m sorry, Governor Xiao, I shouldn’t admit the wrong person, today is your birthday, don’t be angry, smile? If you don’t want to laugh… Take a bite of candied haws?”

She held the candied haws to Xiao Jue’s lips, and suddenly her hands were caught.

He Yan was startled, and subconsciously raised his head, facing his squiggly black eyes.

The facial features of the youth faded last year’s youthful beauty, like the moonlight on a snow-capped mountain, the outlines are clear and clean, beautiful and distinct, like beautiful jade and flawless.

He supported He Yan with one hand and pulled it forward, lapped it in his arms, and leaned over to kiss him.
