The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

After replenishment in Linxia, ​​the two continued to set off. The weather this day gave people a very gloomy feeling, as if it would rain at any time, and the air was humid and dull.

The departure was very early, and Shen Zhaoxue didn't even have time to wash her face. She didn't ask to stop to wash her face until she passed a small stream. Sima Yun also came down to wash her face and mouth.

This mountain stream is gurgling from top to bottom, and the spring water is gurgling and clear, and the taste is very sweet.

In the middle of washing her face, Shen Zhaoxue suddenly thought of something, and asked, "General, Zhaoxue has never seen the general shave after all these time."

Sima Yun, who was washing his face, paused for a moment, his expression was a little stiff, the drops of water on his face were crystal clear, and his skin was so good that no blemishes could be seen, even better than the skin of many girls.

"shave?"

"Yes." Shen Zhaoxue nodded, "Don't men... shave every day?"

After finishing speaking, Sima Yun subconsciously reached out and touched his clean chin, and told a very absurd lie, "This general...has never grown a beard."

"!!!" Shen Zhaoxue's eyes widened, looking at her like she was looking at a strange person.

Sima Yun might feel a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he stood up suddenly, "After washing, let's continue on our way." After speaking, he walked towards the carriage.

Is it possible that the general really doesn't grow a beard?Shen Zhaoxue was thinking about this question while walking slowly towards the carriage by herself.

These are just one of the small episodes in the long journey, and it is precisely because of this trip to the Western Regions that Shen Zhaoxue feels that the relationship between herself and the general seems to be getting closer. At least, in the capital before, the general seldom talked to her. He almost cherishes words like gold, and now and then he will occasionally take the initiative to talk to her, and sometimes he is even more generous with his smile.

The carriage drove into a bamboo forest path, surrounded by lush and green bamboos, the main pole was thick, tall and branched, and the bamboo leaves were dense. The path was almost paved with fallen bamboo leaves, some were yellow, some were green, and some were rotten. , all fallen leaves return to their roots and return to the ground.

Sniffing hard, the tip of the nose can feel the fragrance of bamboo, which makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.

At this moment, the long-awaited heavy rain came, and Shen Zhaoxue and Sima Yun, who were sitting outside, were drowned and caught off guard.

Sima Yun was obviously very anxious to find a place to shelter from the rain, so he accelerated the speed of the carriage. The horse was galloping in the heavy rain, and the horse's hooves slipped a little, which almost caused the car to overturn. Only then did she realize that it was not suitable to continue on the road in this situation, and she had to stop immediately. Let's wait for this summer rainstorm to pass.

At this time, the carriage had just left the bamboo forest and arrived outside a village. The two of them hid in the carriage in a hurry. Shen Zhaoxue stretched out her arms a little and squeezed the water from her clothes. Seeing this, Sima Yun had no choice but to say to her, "It's all wet." After becoming like this, let’s change into a clean one.”

In order not to embarrass Shen Zhaoxue, Sima Yun took the initiative to get out of the car and was going to wait outside for her to change clothes. Then Shen Zhaoxue suddenly remembered that she had brought a paper umbrella with her before she set off, and hurriedly searched for it and handed it to Sima Yun, " General, here you are."

Sima Yun took the small paper umbrella, and smiled helplessly. This kind of umbrella looks weak, and it can barely cover the light rain at ordinary times. I am afraid that such a heavy rainstorm will be washed away and broken in a short time. .

But seeing that she was so determined to give it to herself, she didn't refuse.

Putting down the car curtain, Shen Zhaoxue began to change clothes. To be honest, she was quite shy. The car curtain would be blown up a little by the wind from time to time. Every time she would be so scared that she hugged her clothes tightly to cover her body, and finally changed out of the drenched clothes. Clothes, wiped off the water stains on the body, changed into a set of clean and dry clothes, and felt much more comfortable.

Then he quickly opened the curtain and called the general in.

"General, come up quickly."

Who knows that Sima Yun insisted on refusing to change his clothes after coming up, no matter how hard Shen Zhaoxue tried to persuade him, he remained indifferent and defended to the death.

At this time, Shen Zhaoxue suddenly remembered that on the night of the May Festival, the general was drunk, and Qin Sun advised her not to touch the general's clothes, so she didn't help change the clothes. Maybe the general really cares about the clothes Have some kind of quirk?

Thinking of this, she was no longer obsessed with whether the general would change his clothes.

The heavy rain continued to fall, as if it had no intention of stopping at all. The two of them sat in the carriage like this, opened the curtain and looked outside, and sat... until dusk.

It was also at this time that the heavy rain was willing to stop, but there was still a little fluff of rain floating on the face, which was innocuous.

The two got out of the car and packed their luggage. With the help of the general, Shen Zhaoxue wrung out the water from the wet clothes. In the village not far away, smoke began to rise, which was the atmosphere of fireworks.

Sima Yun went up to check how the horse was doing. After all, it had been raining for so long, so she was a little worried.

Shen Zhaoxue came out with some dry food. She and the general hadn't eaten for a long time. When they got out of the car and were about to take it to the general, a vigorous figure appeared from nowhere. In the blink of an eye, a piece of food in Shen Zhaoxue's hand The bag of dry food disappeared without a trace, and she was completely frightened, so she hurriedly called out, "General."

Sima Yun turned his head, fixed on the fleeing figure with a single glance, and chased after him without saying a word.

Shen Zhaoxue glanced at the carriage, then at the general, and finally chose to follow together.

That man was small in stature, but he ran so fast that even the general chased him for a long time before catching up.

Shen Zhaoxue stopped panting, and found herself in front of a small thatched hut, overgrown with weeds, she hurried in without delay, the general was also inside, and the one who just snatched her rations... was kneeling The little ghost on the ground, with a dirty face, looked about ten years old.

Shen Zhaoxue couldn't help being a little surprised and amazed.

Looking around, the whole thatched hut was dilapidated, and there was no decent furniture. On the straw mat on the ground, a pale and lifeless woman was sleeping, and the little devil was kneeling in front of the straw mat.

The general stood there without speaking for a while, Shen Zhaoxue also guessed something, with mixed emotions in her heart.

"Mother, wake up, there is food, there is food."

The little ghost brought the dry food snatched from Shen Zhaoxue to the mouth of the old woman, but the old woman was dying and had no energy to open her mouth at all. The little ghost tried again and again while crying, but refused to give up.

Shen Zhaoxue glanced at the general, and found that her expression was also quite uncomfortable. The anger of being robbed just now turned into nothingness when she saw this scene at this moment.

It was the first time for Shen Zhaoxue to see a person before death, powerless and helpless, after a while, the old woman finally left this world, the little ghost buried his head on the old woman and cried, "Mother, mother, Don't leave us...mom..."

Shen Zhaoxue bit her lower lip subconsciously, and also thought of her mother. She had never seen her mother since she was born. She only knew that her mother even lost her life in order to give birth to her. She knew that there would be no mother in this life. , How difficult it will be to live.

And the child in front of him is only so young, so he has no mother.

As if he was tired of crying enough, the little ghost stood up and faced the two of them without any fear, "I robbed your things, I want to kill or cut you up, whatever you want, I won't run away again."

Sima Yun raised his eyes, strode out of the thatched hut without saying a word, it seemed that he had let him go in his heart.

Shen Zhaoxue had no choice but to take a step forward, "We don't care about you anymore, you can keep these dry food for yourself."

The little ghost shook his head, "Mother is dead, I don't need it anymore." After speaking, he stretched out a bag of dry food in front of Shen Zhaoxue.

Shen Zhaoxue didn't take it, she knew what the general meant, and she was sure that the general thought the same as herself, she pursed her lips and said, "Take it, you are a good boy, we know you are here to save yourself Mother had no choice but to do that, you have the courage to admit your mistakes and are willing to accept punishment, we forgive you."

Little Guitou didn't understand, and also didn't understand. The whole village didn't want to see their family, and hoped that their whole family would die. Why did this strange sister treat him so well? Could it be that she had some intentions?

"I don't want it, I'll give it back to you." He said stubbornly.

At this moment, there was a sound of knocking on a wooden board outside the door. Looking around, it turned out that the general was leaning against the door and knocked a few times with his fingers as a reminder. Seeing Shen Zhaoxue looking over, he said, "It's time to go!" .” A few simple words.

Shen Zhaoxue nodded, still put the bag of dry food on the floor, and finally took out some silver taels from her purse before leaving, and said to him, "You still have a long way to go, you have to live strong. Just like my sister." After speaking, she smiled at him, her smiling eyes were very friendly.

The little ghost was stunned for a while, and when he ran out to look, the two strange strangers had already arrived on the road and were about to leave.

When he was about to go on the road, he turned around and saw several young girls who appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old at the small hut.

"Brother, what did those two people do just now?"

"That's right. We went into the mountains to search all day, and there was a heavy rain, so we could only find so much food."

"How is mother, are you okay?"

The little ghost bit his lower lip tightly, but didn't make a sound.

It was an outrageous and infuriating thing at first, but in the end he actually did a good thing that made his heart happy. I am very happy that the general did not trouble that little devil in the end. Shen Zhaoxue climbed into the carriage, very happy that she The person she likes is like this, doing what she likes, and having everything she likes.

The carriage drove back on the road, Sima Yun sat in the driver's seat and controlled the horse, Shen Zhaoxue held his face and looked at her profile for a long time, this person was not as cruel and cruel as in the legend, but kind and lovely.

"Can you stop staring at me like this..."

The base of Sima Yun's neck turned red silently.
