Chapter 203 Ten Years (2 in 1)

"What word?"

Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe looked at each other.

They all saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

The husband and wife thought of a piece.

"About... Bingxu?" Xie Yunliu chuckled, "It's strange, isn't it?"

Zheng Xiu nodded, pretending to be calm: "Where is Cheng Xiao?"

"Run away." Xie Yunliu curled his lips: "Now the whole court is looking for Cheng Xiao, and there is even such a rumor." Xie Yunliu suddenly changed his face, and said solemnly: "Whoever kills Cheng Xiao and lifts his head, he will be able to kill Cheng Xiao." He was greatly appreciated by the imperial court."

Zheng Xiu chuckled: "How heavy is it?"

Xie Yunliu said: "Below one person, above ten thousand people."

Zheng Xiu: "But the 'one person' who is 'above one person' is still empty, isn't it?"

Xie Yunliu: "Now the second prince Wei Yanjun is the most vocal, and the fight is fierce inside, but in my opinion, he has the support of many ministers now, and becoming emperor is just around the corner."

Zheng Xiu counted with his fingers and nodded: "It's reasonable."

Xie Yunliu drank the last cup and sighed: "The world is going to be chaotic."

"I said uncle, you seem to have changed."

"Ah?" Xie Yunliu was taken aback.

Zheng Xiu: "In the past, you were more like a traitor than anyone else. You kept saying that Wei Tian was dead, thank you for the establishment. You wanted to be the emperor, right?"

"Tsk, who doesn't want to be that?" Xie Yunliu showed a bit of embarrassment, touched his bald head, and coughed twice: "My dear brother-in-law is a good brother-in-law, even if there are no outsiders here, don't talk nonsense, for fear that the walls have ears."

Zheng Xiu sipped his wine.

Xie Yunliu said again: "Today, the person I admire the most is General Zheng. As long as General Zheng is there, I will be thanking Yunliu for one day. You have never seen the brutality of those barbarians who eat human flesh and drink human blood. If you really let them Breaking through the border and stepping into the Central Plains, I am afraid that people will die! Let him be the emperor, whoever becomes the emperor, what does it matter to me? Life is alive, and it is worthwhile to be able to kill one vigorously."

the end.

Xie Yunliu got up, put on his big cloak, and left alone, he said sadly, "I just hope that Old Chu won't be confused, and pull up the big flag and shout chant at this bad time."

The old Chu he was talking about was naturally Chu Chengfeng.

Zheng Xiu actually didn't know much about what happened to them these years.

It's just that many years later, the most rebellious person in the past is now a general, and the most upright knight-errant is now a bandit in the mountains.

All these changes made Zheng Xiu sigh with emotion.

The couple sent Xie Yunliu out of Sun Cicada Valley.

Before parting, Xie Yunliu teased Xie Luohe and said, "Old sister, you have been married for how many years, it's time to work harder, to die, to have a couple of babies, so that our old Xie family can have successors."

Xie Luohe nodded with a blushing face, and secretly glanced at Zheng Xiu.

Xie Yunliu pulled Xie Luohe aside with hatred, and lowered his voice to teach: "If my brother-in-law is weak, he should make up more. If he doesn't make up his body, how can it be a big deal!"

Xie Luohe lowered his head and shook his head vigorously, shaking it into a broken wave drum, and after a long time he whispered softly in a gnat-like voice: "Brother, no need." After a moment of pause, Xie Luohe was afraid that Xie Yunliu would not believe it, and said seriously: "It's really not necessary. "

He's great and great.

Anywhere is fine.

The young woman thought silently in her heart.

Watch Xie Yunliu leave.

Zheng Xiu took a sip at Xie Yunliu's receding back: "Could you please be quieter next time you chew your tongue, you accidentally let me hear it on purpose, right?"

As he said that, Zheng Xiu also laughed.

Xie Luohe was silent for a moment, then suddenly took Zheng Xiu's arm, and silently climbed up with the other hand, gently stroking Zheng Xiu's cheek: "I want a child."

Zheng Xiu patted the back of Xie Luohe's hand lightly, grabbed the hand that was rubbing his face back and forth, hearing this, the past few years flashed in his mind like a slideshow.Zheng Xiu suddenly recalled his situation like waking up from a big dream. He was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say "yes" to the person next to his pillow, but when the words came to his lips, it turned into: "Let it be."

Back home, Xie Luohe looked a little more melancholy, as if he really wanted a child.

The next day.

Zheng Xiu secretly brought a few paintings and mounted them in gold-encrusted frames.

"Tacky."

Zheng Xiu looked at the expensive painting, smiled disdainfully, and wrapped it in oilcloth.

Who made rich people like this style.

Zheng Xiu crossed the border alone and entered a small country in the Western Regions.

These years of hard work have given him a lot of ways to paint the face of "Boss Mo" easily. When Zheng Xiu came back the next day, several paintings were gone, replaced by a small cradle.

Creeping close to the door of the house, the courtyard door is ajar.When Zheng Xiu sneaked in, Xie Luohe was washing the dishes with his back to the courtyard door.

Zheng Xiu gave Xie Luohe a big bear hug from behind.

"Where did you go last night?"

Xie Luohe washed his hands for a while, and didn't look back. He had already heard Zheng Xiu's footsteps, and pretended not to know. Now that Zheng Xiu was making a fuss, she asked with a straight face, pretending to be calm.

"I went to the Western Regions."

"I heard that girls from the Western Regions are very enthusiastic." Xie Luohe smiled.

Xie Luohe knew Zheng Xiu's temper, even if she was not jealous, she still wanted to show her attitude on purpose.

"There are still girls in the Western Regions? I didn't see any of them."

Zheng Xiu answered bluntly, and Zheng Xiu showed the small basket covered with blankets in front of Xie Luohe: "Hmph, I'll bring you back a small gift."

bass.

An orange furry head jumped out suddenly, and two green eyeballs stared directly at Xie Luohe.

The cat raised its paw, and the pink cat print softly stamped Xie Luohe's face.

boo~
The cat's paw moved away from Xie Luohe's face.

"Meow~"

"Hey!" Not only did the little orange cat's claw not make Xie Luohe angry, but it made Xie Luohe turn around excitedly and grab Zheng Xiu's shoulder and shake it vigorously, directly shaking Zheng Xiu's body out of an afterimage that moved back and forth frequently.

"Husband! Husband! It, it, it is not afraid of me!"

"That that that that that you you you you you..." Zheng Xiu almost bit his tongue.

After finally getting Xie Luohe to calm down, Zheng Xiu rubbed his cervical spine: "Do you like it?"

"Yeah~ I like~"

Xie Luohe held the orange cat high, very pleased.

"nice! You love it."

"Bah..."

The orange cat was held up by Xie Luohe, but instead it bared its teeth at Zheng Xiu, its hair standing on end.

Xie Luohe asked strangely: "Compared to me, it seems to be more afraid of you, husband?"

"Uh, it's normal."

Zheng Xiu later told Xie Luohe how he picked this one out of thousands of cats.

He first bought all the cats from the cat dealer.

Then they were all locked in a room.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Xiu let in a vicious dog whose size was comparable to that of a heifer.

Cats of other breeds were frightened and ran around.

Only this gallbladder was the fattest, and he stood there motionless, and even urinated on the floor calmly.

Xie Luohe happily walked around Richan Town with the little orange cat in his arms.

The people of the entire Sun tribe knew one thing on the same day.

The proprietress of Mohexuan is happy to mention a new cat from the Western Regions.

Have a banquet at night, feast the whole city, and stay up all night.

On the second day of Xiti Maoer, Zheng Xiu hadn't woken up after struggling all night.

Xie Luohe hugged the quiet little orange cat, stood in front of the bow on the wall, and stood quietly for a long time.

"From today onwards, your name is Xiaofeng, okay?"

"Meow~"

The name of the little orange cat was decided.

It was too late when Zheng Xiu woke up and learned about it.

Mrs. Xie and Xiaofeng were having fun in the yard.

……

The Sun Tribe holds a grand ceremony every year.

To commemorate the "candle" that is one with the scorching sun.

Every year, the ceremony is presided over by the Great Elder himself.

But this year, the Great Elder lost the chain at a critical time.

About half a year after Xie Yunliu visited his relatives.

The Great Elder fell seriously ill and became weaker and weaker day by day.

There was a herbal medicine witch doctor in the clan who took care of the Great Elder and concluded that the time of the Great Elder was numbered.

The election of the new tribal chief, the old man, is imminent.

Several respected elders in the clan recommended "Sun and Earth" to be elected.

There was even an old man who often went to Mohexuan to drink and drink. He had a very good relationship with Gongsun Mo. They became friends for many years and recommended Gongsun Mo to lead the Lie Sun tribe.In this way, the two couples can truly become part of the tribe.

When Zheng Xiu learned about this, of course he immediately refused.

Not long after, the Great Elder was dying and called Xie Luohe and Zheng Xiu home.

After sending away his children, the Great Elder solemnly handed over a pair of ancient sheepskin scrolls to Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe.

Zheng Xiu opened it and saw that there was a pattern of a golden cicada in the far corner.This made Zheng Xiu's pupils tremble.

Xie Luohe took a look, hugged the orange cat, and approached with the heads of one person and one cat.After identifying the slices, Xie Luohe asked doubtfully, "The route of Green River?"

The old man was already very angry at this time, and murmured: "It is said that Master Zhu used this ancient map to cross the desert..."

Without saying a word, Zheng Xiu snatched the map from Xie Luohe and stared at it.

"Husband, what's the matter? What's wrong?"

Xie Luohe had a keen mind and noticed that something was wrong with Zheng Xiu.

At this time, Zheng Xiu looked at Xie Luohe with an incomprehensible gaze. After a moment of silence, Zheng Xiu slowly shook his head: "Although it is somewhat biased against the current route, the route recorded above is indeed the route of Green River."

"Is it?"

Xie Luohe nodded.

The two were about to ask the Great Elder why he handed over this ancient scroll.

The Great Elder raised his fingers tremblingly, and then fell down quickly, completely silent.

Over the years, the Great Elder never regarded Gongsun Mo and his wife as outsiders, or even as relatives.

After the death of the Great Elder, his elderly widows, together with a dozen children, wept all night around the Great Elder's body.

Holding hands, the two stood outside the house, listening to the cries from inside, and stood silently until dawn.

Zheng Xiu noticed that his wife was in a low mood, so he held her hand tightly, and comforted him: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable things in one's life. The Great Elder has lived for 110 years, which is enough."

"Yes, that's enough."

The prevalent funeral ceremony in the desert is "sand burial".

It is similar to the "sky burial" popular in some places.

In the "sand burial" ceremony, dozens of camels pulled the body of the Great Elder and went deep into the desert with others.

When the camel is restless, it means that quicksand is hidden ahead.After confirming the location of the quicksand, everyone watched the body of the Great Elder sink into the sand little by little until it was completely buried by the flowing fine sand.

After the great elder died, Zheng Xiu handed over the ancient scroll to Ridi.

For the desert people, the symbolic meaning of the ancient scrolls is greater than the actual meaning.Almost every man, woman, and child in the Lie Sun tribe knows the route of the "Green River" by heart.

"You seem to have something on your mind."

one night.

The two were naked and wrapped in blankets.Xie Luohe drew moist circles on her husband's chest with her fingers. She keenly sensed that Zheng Xiu had something on her mind, so she asked about it.

"I'm thinking, if we have children in the future, who will we be more like?"

Xie Luohe's calm face suddenly became a bit playful: "What's the matter, you don't want to leave?"

Zheng Xiu was silent and did not answer.

He suddenly felt pain in his temples, and an inexplicable dizziness hit him.

"I'm Xie Luohe."

Xie Luohe suddenly turned over and pressed on Zheng Xiu's body, his face pressed tightly against Zheng Xiu's chest.

As Xie Luohe said, he tore off his hair tie and left it disheveled.

"like you."

Xie Luohe suddenly laughed.

"what?"

Such a jumpy answer made Zheng Xiu unable to react for a while.

"I said, the child must be like you."

"You mean..."

"Birth!" Xie Luohe held down Zheng Xiu viciously, but the fierceness from the bottom of her heart made her a little more indescribable: "Give birth now!"

So, they had another night together.

Zheng Xiu decided to hide his thoughts completely in his heart.

If all this was a dream.

Neither Xie Luohe nor he wanted to wake up.

So, go ahead.

Time flies like an arrow.

Two years ago, the neighbor Ridi married two girls at the same time. He became a father last year, and his children are all like him.

When Brother Ridi happily drank with Gongsunmo, he drank to a high place, thinking that when the children grow up, let them learn archery from Xie Luohe.Xie Luohe refused with a smile, saying that she hadn't used a bow for many years and had forgotten all about it.

Big brother Ridi said it was a pity and didn't force it.

The two ladies were quietly in the corner of Mohexuan, each holding a delicate baby, lowering their heads and coaxing them.

Xie Luohe looked at Ridi's family of six with envy in his eyes.

She and Gongsun Mo worked hard day by day, but they still haven't conceived.

"Meow~"

On the other hand, Xiaofeng, the orange cat, became fatter and fatter as she ate more and more, sitting on the counter like a live beckoning cat.

"Ten years."

Zheng Xiu grew a long beard and looked at himself in the mirror.He braided a few braids into his beard to look extra domineering.

In the blink of an eye, the two had been husband and wife for ten years in the desert.

In the past ten years, there have been many changes in Richan Town.

The crowd is bustling and endless.

Mohexuan's business is booming.

After Zheng Xiu had been busy for another day, when closing time, Zheng Xiu counted the days with his fingers and frowned.

Every June of two years, Xie Yunliu would travel across the desert to visit relatives, unimpeded by wind and sand.

Now it is September, Xie Yunliu is still in the future, this place is isolated from the outside world, the news is blocked, Zheng Xiu frowned wildly, and vaguely gave birth to a somewhat ominous premonition.

late September.

Zheng Xiu brushed his face once in a while, and asked Japan and Earth to send out experts from the tribe to cross the desert and go deep into the Central Plains to inquire about Xie Yunliu's news.

Hiji readily agreed immediately.

October.

Zheng Xiu keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the town was different from the past.

In the past, most of the people in Richan Town were running businessmen coming and going, but after September, there were many tall men with unfriendly faces.

Although they deliberately dressed up as businessmen, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe could tell at a glance that they were all Lianjiazi with the unintentional aura they revealed.

October thirteenth.

More than ten uninvited guests from the town came to Mohexuan and sat down one after another in silence.

Zheng Xiu knew that there were such a group of people wandering in Richan Town, so he was not surprised.

"They have killed people."

Xie Luohe told her husband firmly.

Even so, she still seemed very calm.Both she and her husband are not afraid of trouble.

More than a dozen tall and strong men pretending to be foreign businessmen ordered a few jars of wine and appetizers. One of them, with bulging temples and calluses on the tiger's mouth, seemed to be the leader of the group, and politely called Zheng build.

"Boss Mo, I come from the west and want to do business in the Central Plains."

He approached Zheng Xiudao in a jerky Central Plains language, straight to the point, without any detours to say what he meant.

"I heard that Boss Mo is from the Central Plains. I don't know Boss Mo and his wife, do you know the route of 'Green River'?"
