In the afternoon, the snow stopped completely and the temperature dropped a lot.
Huang Xiao made a simple wooden door at the entrance of the cave and lit an extra fire. For safety reasons, the entrance could not be sealed, but it was still warmer than last night.
evening.
Zhang Yan untied the fox fur and handed it to Huang Xiao, saying, "I'll cover you with it, go to sleep."
Huang Xiao didn't answer, "No, sister-in-law, just keep it for yourself."
Zhang Yan threw it away.
Huang Xiao took it and threw it backhand.
Zhang Yan was waiting to give it to Huang Xiao again, and Huang Xiao said: "No matter who it is given to, there is always one person who will not be covered. Sister-in-law, please don't throw it over again, otherwise how long will we have to let it go?"
Zhang Yan was stunned, nodded and sat on the couch silently.
Huang Xiao undressed and lay down.
He sighed and said, "I finally feel the feeling of Yang Guo sleeping on the cold jade bed."
Zhang Yan chuckled and said, "Don't talk, or I'll beat you with a broom!"
Huang Xiao said pitifully: "Aunt, I'm so cold."
Zhang Yan laughed out loud.
This is the dialogue and plot in the story Huang Xiao told today, but he didn't expect it to be used here.
Zhang Yan couldn't bear to see Huang Xiao's trembling pitifully.
He said softly: "If you behave yourself, then it will be the same as yesterday."
Huang Xiao was overjoyed and smiled: "Sister-in-law, I am better than Liu Xiahui. I behaved myself yesterday."
Zhang Yan nodded.
Huang Xiao climbed over.
In a few moments, he took off his outer clothes and placed them on the wooden couch.
He covered his body with a fox fur coat and said, "Shutan, sister-in-law, please take off your outer clothes as well and pawn them for me. Then we don't have to be so crowded."
Zhang Yan hesitated.
If you listen to Huang Xiao, you won't be as embarrassed as yesterday, but...I always feel a little shy when taking off my clothes in front of him.
Huang Xiao turned sideways and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you still believe me?"
"Okay, you can't peek." Zhang Yan took off her coat, lay down quickly, and covered herself with the clothes.
Huang Xiao said: "Take off your stab-proof clothing, too. That thing makes you sleepy."
Zhang Yan was startled and asked subconsciously: "How do you know?"
Huang Xiao said: "I guessed it!"
Zhang Yan snorted and regretted asking.
Huang Xiao, the bad guy, is guessing!
"No."
Huang Xiaodao: "Really, it's uncomfortable to sleep in that thing. It's so hard that it can be used as a pillow. I just promise not to peek."
Zhang Yan thought about it and realized that it was just as Huang Xiao said. It was really uncomfortable to wear this to sleep in. Seeing that Huang Xiao didn't turn around, she quickly took it off.
Huang Xiao turned around and threw the fox fur over.
"Let's change, I'll cover you with clothes."
Zhang Yan panicked.
"Need not."
Huang Xiao couldn't help but take out his clothes.
"It smells so good and so beautiful!"
"You are so rogue!" Zhang Yan was speechless.
Huang Xiao covered her clothes and felt the fragrance coming from it, and couldn't help but move towards Zhang Yan absent-mindedly.
"What are you doing again?"
Zhang Yan was surprised when their skin touched.
Huang Xiao smiled: "Be close to you and warm me."
"Nonsense, go to sleep."
Huang Xiao smiled and said, "How about I tell another joke?"
Zhang Yan scolded: "If you don't listen, you're not allowed to speak either!"
"All right."
The two talked for a while and gradually fell asleep separately.
In the middle of the night, a sudden rumbling sound woke the two of them up.
Huang Xiao said: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'll go out and see what's going on?"
Zhang Yan said: "Be careful. It's not freezing outside. Put on your fox fur."
Huang Xiao nodded, Zhang Yan changed the clothes Huang Xiao was wearing onto herself, and handed the fox fur to Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao took off his clothes, opened the simple wooden door, walked to the edge of the open space, and looked around.
In the distance, another rumbling sound was heard on the horizon, and then the fire burned the sky red.
Huang Xiao was overjoyed: "This is Dahuangzhuang's artillery, burning bombs, they are coming!"
He returned to the cave, closed the wooden door, and added some firewood.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yan asked.
Huang Xiao said happily: "It's Dahuang Village who is having a cannon fire. They came here. I will send out the signal tomorrow."
"Oh." Zhang Yan said calmly: "Come in quickly, don't get cold."
Huang Xiao rubbed his hands, untied the fox fur, and got in.
"It's too cold, sister-in-law. I have to get close to you again this time to warm me up."
Huang Xiao squeezed into Zhang Yan's bed again like yesterday.
Zhang Yan moved but said nothing.
Huang Xiao asked: "Sister-in-law, our people are here, why do you seem unhappy?"
Zhang Yan said: "No, I'm very happy."
Huang Xiao sighed and said, "But I'm not very happy. Instead, I feel a little disappointed."
Zhang Yan didn't say anything.
Huang Xiao's voice softened, "If I think about it like these two days in the future, there will be no chance again. Sister-in-law, do you think so?"
Strange thoughts arose in Zhang Yan's heart. When she just heard that the Dahuangzhuang army was coming, her first thought was just like what Huang Xiao had thought. She was indeed a little disappointed. She was glad to be able to return safely, and at the same time she was also grateful. , in the past two or three days, although it was very unusual, after all, there was no real Hongxing out of the wall.
But why do you feel melancholy?
She sighed and said nothing.
Huang Xiao reached over and gently wrapped his arms around Zhang Yan's waist.
Zhang Yan's heart trembled.
Things are different tonight than last night.
Yesterday she slept in her clothes, but today Huang Xiao persuaded her to take off her coat and the stab-proof clothing underneath, leaving her in single clothes.
Huang Xiao's hand wanders...
Zhang Yan held it down and said in a trembling voice: "Don't...don't mess around..."
Huang Xiao said softly: "Okay."
Zhang Yan hummed and said, "Don't move your hands. Go to sleep! I'm sleepy."
Huang Xiao couldn't sleep when heaven and man were at war in his heart.
Why not Zhang Yan?
However, the two never spoke again.
The flames flickered.
There was silence all around.
After a long time, Huang Xiaoshou started climbing again.
This time it seemed that Zhang Yan fell asleep and was not holding Huang Xiao's hand.
Huang Xiao felt excited and guilty at the same time, but her hands did not stop.
…
The next day, the long-lost sun came out.
This time Zhang Yan woke up first and saw Huang Xiaowu sleeping soundly and comfortably. She got dressed and got off the bed.
She walked outside the cave, and the morning glow shone on her beautiful cheeks, as if they were stained with a layer of rouge.
"Sister-in-law, it's morning. It's such a nice day today. Why did you get up so early?"
Huang Xiao walked over and put a fox fur on Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan turned around and smiled at Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiaoxin seemed to slow down for a moment, and said to herself: "Looking back and smiling, Lao Bai's poem is well written!"
"I was woken up by the sound of artillery in the middle of the night last night. I slept soundly for the rest of the night, so naturally I got up early."
Huang Xiao looked at Zhang Yan with a guilty conscience and felt relieved when he saw that her expression was as usual.
"Today is probably the last day I will stay here. My sister-in-law is here to see if there are any soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. I will get breakfast."
"Well, go ahead." Zhang Yan nodded.
Not long after Huang Xiao left, Zhang Yan came in and said: "There are four groups of soldiers and horses, two groups are from the east, carrying the flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses from the west have no flags."
Huang Xiao was stunned and said, "I'll go take a look."
