Seven bitter flowers

Chapter 11: Snow on a Sunny Day

After a few months, it was winter in the blink of an eye. Kaifeng is located in the north of Huaihan. Although it is not as bitter and cold as outside the Great Wall, the cold is getting worse day by day.

In the early morning of this day, Zhan Zhao pushed the door out, and his eyes lit up, but it was snowing heavily at night, and the ground was covered with silver white.I saw that the snow on the ground was a foot thick, and the eaves, roof tiles, porch flowers and trees were all covered with a thick layer of snow.A few days ago, the plum blossoms were blooming in the courtyard. At this time, the ice flowers and xuerui reflected a little bit of bright red, which was so beautiful.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, the early morning air was cold and refreshing, but it seemed to carry the fragrance of plum blossoms, which lifted people's spirits.

Just as he was about to go to the martial arts field, he suddenly heard the wind in his head, something flew towards him with a cold air, Zhan Zhao turned his head to avoid it, and saw a snow ball smashing on the door behind him, and heard Ding Xiu's voice: " Zhan Zhao, eat me again!"

Zhan Zhao smiled, intending to tease her, turned around and hid behind the pillars of the porch.After a while, I only heard the "creaking" sound of someone stepping on the snow not far in front of me. I smiled secretly, leaned over and grabbed a ball of snow and squeezed it in my palm.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Zhan Zhao turned around, and the snow ball flew out of his hands.Ding Xiuzheng was walking carefully step by step, for fear of making any noise, saw that he was approaching the pillar, and was about to surprise him, but Zhan Zhao suddenly turned around, and after he realized it, he had already been caught by Zhan Zhao It was covered with snowflakes.Looking up at Zhan Zhao with a smile on his face, he couldn't hide his complacency, his heart was itching with hatred, he stopped throwing the snow ball in his hand, bent over to pick up a handful of snow, and greeted Zhan Zhao without thinking past.

This time the attack range was too big, until the snow fell to the ground, besides covering his head and face, Zhan Zhao was covered with snowflakes all over his red official clothes. When he looked up, Ding Xiu couldn't straighten up from laughing.Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud, he picked up the snow and was about to throw it at Ding Xiu, Ding Xiu screamed and ran away.

The two were chasing each other while picking up snow and throwing it at each other. For a while, there was constant laughter in the courtyard, which was very lively.When Zhao Hu entered the hospital, the two were having a quarrel. Poor Zhao Hu hadn't figured out the situation before he was hit on the forehead by the snow ball thrown by Ding Xiu.

Zhao Hu shook his head and looked at the culprit: "Stinky girl, what are you doing?"

Ding Xiu stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "It's inevitable that the two armies will be accidentally injured in a melee. I missed this moment, and sometimes I missed..."

Is this still a melee between the two armies?Zhao Hu really wanted to throw snow at her head and face, but he can't haggle over every detail with a woman like her, can he?So he, Mr. Zhao, ignored Ding Xiu in a very gracious and manly manner, but looked at Zhan Zhao: "Brother Zhan, the brothers are waiting for you. But today the martial arts field may not be able to do it, Xue has It's so... so thick, the weapons are frozen outside." Zhao Hu said while gesticulating, and finally asked Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan, do you think you can still practice today? Or, let those brats rest for a day ?”

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Ding Xiu had already yelled beside him: "That sounds good, little tiger, I think you want to rest by yourself."

She also called Xiaohuzi?No matter what the little girl's discipline is, Zhao Hu retracted the patience he had made to her as a womanizer just now, grabbed a pile of snow unceremoniously, and threw it at Ding Xiu in a more manly manner.

So the battle resumed, with snowballs flying all over the sky, but this time Zhan Zhao stopped, but he had to dodge the "accidentally smashed" snowballs from time to time.

I heard Ding Xiu and Zhao Hu throwing snow to fight, and they kept fighting.After a while, Ding Xiu yelled: "Little Huzi, man, do you want to hold grudges like this?" After a while, Zhao Hu yelled: "Stinky girl, you robbed me of my lotus eggs yesterday and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

……

**************************************************

After a while, when several people were sitting in the vestibule for dinner, Zhang Long was the first to be frightened when he saw it: "I said Huzi, no one did morning exercises today, you are rolling in the snow?"

Zhao Hu's resentment still persisted, he pointed at Ding Xiu, and said bitterly, "Ask that stinky girl."

The clothes on Ding Xiu's body were still clean and tidy, but her hair was also wet, and the snow water flowed down her feet. She didn't feel it, and she smiled at Zhao Hu with a flat mouth, and said in a long voice: "Little tiger, soldiers are not tired of cheating!" , we are willing to bet and admit defeat, all your Furong eggs will belong to me this month."

Zhang Long was even more confused by their two sentences, and finally Zhan Zhao explained his confusion: "There is a bet between the two, whoever can stand on the snow with one foot for the longest time will win."

Zhang Long said "Oh" and looked at Zhao Hu with contempt: "You can lose this, you are too much."

Zhao Hu's grievance: "That girl is cheating, cheating! Quietly squeezed a snow dumpling like iron, and smashed it into people's knees. She also jumped around on one leg, and suddenly jumped into it. You bump into me, do you think I can not hide? She hugged my knees at this moment, it's too treacherous..."

Zhang Long gloated: "Yes!"

Zhang Long and Wang Chao came back two months ago, and as expected, they hardly brought back any valuable clues.

The time interval was too long, and the villagers were simple and didn't take this matter to heart. Zhang Long and Wang Chao went to several villages, and the villagers said that they couldn't remember anything else that happened in those few days. The old man who leaked the wind sat on the ridge of the field and said: "Those cows, pigs, and so on disappeared overnight. You can say wow, what's wrong with this?"

The only thing worth noting is that in one village, a young man told them that a couple had visited the day before the cow was lost.The woman was dressed in a fiery red dress, and the man was dressed in white. Both of them were outstanding. They went to the village to ask him for water.In a remote village, where have I seen such a person, the young man slammed his mouth when he mentioned it: "I don't know where the master and madam came from, I have never seen such a person when I grow up..." The young man scratched his head and thought about it I couldn't find a word for a long time.

However, this does not prevent Zhang Long and the others from tracking down these two people.Later, in an inn in Yingtianfu, the two finally found out about these two people with the owner of the inn.

According to the shop owner, these two people are very strange. They say they are husband and wife, and they want two rooms. If they say no, they are tired of being together all day long. They don't look like brothers and sisters in their behavior. He didn't go out in the store, but came back in the middle of the night once, but he didn't know when the two of them went out.

Zhang Longwang continued to ask, but did not find any useful information.So the trip to Huainan had to end hastily.

After returning to Kaifeng, the two sides summed up the situation, and the only thing that can be guessed is that the woman in the red dress should be "Red Dragonfly".And the man in white clothes doesn't match Murong Qing's in age and appearance, so if the possibility of changing his appearance is ruled out, this person is very likely to be the one behind the scenes.

The author has something to say:

Ding Xiu: Zhan Zhao, you are too much, it's just a snowball fight, can't you let me?

Zhan Zhao: How can I stop you?

Ding Xiu: Hmph, the hit on the back of my head today still hurts! Are you still calling me let me go?

Zhan Zhao: No, I did my best.

Ding Xiu: Nonsense!It's all swollen up to the size of a bag!

Zhan Zhao: Really?Let me see.

Ding Xiu: No!use!Think about it now?late!

Zhan Zhao: ...you think too much, I just want to see how much my skills have improved recently.

Ding Xiu: ...youwin
