Fang Jinshi mounted his mule and followed her slowly. During the thirty to forty miles journey, Liu Huanqing never let him pass his horse. Although Fang Jinshi had seen many women, he could not figure out this little girl. If she is scheming, sometimes she will appear lively and cute, but also very shy.
Arriving at the big town ahead, Fang Jinshi found a large and clean inn, opened two upper rooms, and had a good rest for an afternoon. He got up early the next morning and hurried on. When he arrived at Xinyang Mansion, Fang Jinshi changed his mule into a A bad horse.
He and Liu Huanqing were on the road together. This girl always seemed particularly quiet and docile when there were many people. Once on a road with few people, she would sometimes make the horse run very fast. Fang Jinshi was neither angry nor happy. , without saying much, the two of them never made any affectionate gestures all the way to Bianliang City, but she never complained that Fang Jinshi's cowhide water bag was dirty. Even if Fang Jinshi had just drank it, she took it and drink.
Along the way, the closer they got to Bianliang City, the more people fled south. Although everyone did not quite believe that Bianliang City would fall, no one dared to completely guarantee it. Although the Song army was numerous, they suffered consecutive defeats. Not only did Bianliang City The east gate and north gate of Liangcheng did not relieve the siege, but the Jin soldiers became more and more encircled.
There are many people in Bianliang City in Tokyo, and they need a lot of supplies every day. The remaining two city gates cannot be completely closed to traffic, but the inspections are very strict, for fear that disguised Jin soldiers may be mixed in.
When Fang Jinshi and Liu Huanqing rushed to Bianliang City, it was in the evening, it was still early, but the city gate was about to close. He and Liu Huanqing arrived just in time. When they entered the city, the city gate was closed heavily. Fang Jinshi dismounted and pulled his horse. OK, look up at the sky. The sun in the west is sending its last ray of light behind the clouds, and a dark cloud is approaching Bianliang City in the northeast.
Fang Jinshi raised his head and glanced at the sky, then got on the bad horse again and said, "Go home first."
He took Liu Huanqing back to the old house of General Di's Mansion. The old man watching the door was surprised to see him suddenly returning home. Fang Jinshi went to his room, changed into old dark clothes, and came out. Garden, walked to the door of the side house where Liu Huanqing lived.
It was already getting late, but there were no lights on in her room. Fang Jinshi raised his hand to knock on the door a few times, but stopped, put down his arm again, and turned around to leave.
The door behind him was suddenly opened, and Liu Huanqing appeared at the door. It turned out that she had been in the house all along, and for some reason there was no light. Fang Jinshi turned his head when he heard the noise, and Liu Huanqing asked with a serious face: "Fang Jinshi, are you looking for it?" I?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I... I just want to check if you have slept and if you want to eat?"
Liu Huanqing said: "I'm not hungry and don't want to eat."
Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, then you should rest early." He turned around and started to leave again. Liu Huanqing said behind him: "You want to go out? It's going to rain." As soon as she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning exploded in the sky. , all of a sudden the yard was painted brightly.
Her guess was correct. Fang Jinshi wanted to go out, but he hesitated to take her with him. Although he promised Liu Huanqing that he would take her to see the "big world", at the end of the day, he felt that he was taking her with him. It is always inappropriate for girls to go out to do important things.
Fang Jinshi hesitated at this time, and Liu Huanqing followed: "Wait for me." She turned back to her room and closed the door.
Fang Jinshi looked up at the sky. It was really going to rain heavily, and the rain in midsummer would never be light.
Not long after, Liu Huanqing's door opened again. She had changed into black clothes and had a large oilcloth umbrella in her hand.
Fang Jinshi looked at the sky and said, "It's going to rain, so I won't go out."
Liu Huanqing said, "Let's go." She took the initiative to walk to Fang Jinshi and crossed his arms affectionately with her forearms. Fang Jinshi had no choice but to lead him out of the door of his house.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, there was a rumble of thunder, and then the rain began to pour down quickly. The vendors passing by were in a hurry to clean up, and the pedestrians on the road ran to shelter from the rain. Soon there were no pedestrians on the street.
Liu Huanqing immediately held up the yellow oilcloth umbrella in her hand and covered the two people's heads. She was small, so she raised the umbrella high for fear of getting wet by Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi took it and hugged her quickly to the eaves of the house in front. Take shelter from the rain.
The heavy rain quickly soaked the road, and the streets merged into rivers. The two of them had only walked a short distance. The rain fell hard and lasted for a long time. Less than half an hour passed, and there was still no sign of stopping.
Fang Jinshi looked at the dark sky and said to Liu Huanqing: "It's raining so hard that I can't go even if I want to. Go back."
Liu Huanqing said: "What are you going to do? Is it important?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I'm going to meet someone. I don't know if it's important or not. There's no news at this time, so it's hard to judge."
Liu Huanqing asked: "Who are you meeting?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I met a prince named Zhao from a distant branch of the royal family."
Liu Huanqing said, "What will happen if I don't see you tonight?"
Fang Jinshi said: "It won't be anything bad...but maybe I won't be able to see the world anymore."
Liu Huanqing said: "What are you waiting for? No matter how long you stay here, you won't see anyone." She immediately opened her umbrella again, took a step forward and stood in the rain, Xiang Jinshi said: "Let's go. "
Fang Jinshi hesitated and said, "Do you really want to go?"
Liu Huanqing said resolutely: "Of course I want to go." She didn't even know what important matter Fang Jinshi was meeting, but as soon as Fang Jinshi said it was related to the world, she became even more anxious than Fang Jinshi.
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to walk into the rain and walk side by side with her. Although the two of them had umbrellas, the rain was too heavy and the big raindrops made a loud bang on the umbrellas. The two of them squeezed together as much as possible and quickly put on their clothes. Got wet.
There were no people on the street for a long time. There was rain and thunder intermittently. There were many rivers in Bianliang City and the drainage was very good. However, with such a heavy rain, there were always low-lying places with turbulent water. Their shoes had already been filled with water. After getting wet, Fang Jinshi saw that there was a lot of water in front of him, and whispered in Liu Huanqing's ear: "The rain is too heavy, there is no other way, go back."
After hearing what he said, Liu Huanqing suddenly handed the umbrella into his hand frantically, lowered her head and took off her shoes, and said loudly: "Carry me." She didn't wait for Fang Jinshi to speak, and walked around behind him in the rain. Yue lay on his back. She did whatever she thought of regardless of whether Fang Jinshi agreed or not.
Her body was very light, and it was not difficult for Fang Jinshi to carry her on his back. He lifted Liu Huanqing up on his back and said, "Really going? It's very likely that the trip will be in vain."
Liu Huanqing said: "A manly man, why are you so long-winded? It's better to go in vain than regret it for the rest of your life."
Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, let's make a bet."
Liu Huanqing lowered her head and kissed the back of his ear again, and whispered in his ear: "You won't run away in vain. If you really don't see anyone, I will let you kiss him again."
Perhaps there is no more gentle voice in the world that can make a man resolutely do something. She is still young, but somehow she already knows this well.
