As night fell, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a person and a horse passed by quickly, bringing up pieces of soil wherever the horse's hooves passed.
On the horse's back, Xia Xiaoba held the reins tightly and kept slapping his hands. Every swat made the horse scream and run faster.
In the hazy night, Xia Xiaoba was running desperately. The cold wind came and whizzed past him. The cold night wind made his whole body numb, but he did not stop, even for a moment's rest. Don't want to have any.
His face was already wet, and he could only cry out in anger, and there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to go back to the capital.
Only now did he understand that the prince and fifth brother left because of the war, and that his parents did not return to the capital because of his uncle's birthday.
The war in the northwest is urgent, so the prince must have gone to the northwest, along with fifth brother, all the prince's personal guards, and even his father.
They all went to the northwest to kill the enemy, leaving him alone, and he was abandoned. He was the only one who foolishly believed that they would come back again. For the first time, Xia Xiaoba hated himself. Why was he not smart enough and not careful enough when things happened? If he could pay close attention to his parents, he would definitely be able to discover their abnormalities.
Recalling the way his mother looked at him when she left, there was sadness and reluctance in her eyes; Xia Xiaoba burst into tears and held the reins tighter.
When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.
He must go to the northwest to fight with the Crown Prince and his brothers.
He doesn't want this kind of protection, even if it means death, he is not willing to be a coward hiding behind his parents.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the horse was exhausted and its speed gradually slowed down. Xia Xiaoba was also blown by the cold wind and his mind gradually became clear.
With a final pull on the reins, the horse stopped where it was.
Looking at the vast night, I could no longer see the five reflections. Xia Xiaoba's face was uncertain, and he knew deeply that forcing his horse forward at this time would only bring more accidents.
Looking at the darkness behind him, Xia Xiaoba hesitated and struggled for a moment, and finally sighed and commanded the horse to turn around and go back.
Late at night in Xiao Mansion, several courtyards were brightly lit with candles. Xia Xiaoba's sudden departure left the Xiao family sleepless all night.
In Fangfei's courtyard, candlelight flickered.
Because she couldn't sleep, Xiao Ming silently wrote a few medical texts in the small study room before she could barely dispel the depression caused by Xia Xiaoba.
Just leave, leave!
Maybe it's really urgent. Shi Tingyu and the others have a lot of things to do and often don't see anyone. Maybe they will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and celebrate the New Year together.
Xiao Ming suddenly thought of Shi Tingyu's elusiveness in the past, and was relieved about his departure this time.
If you come back, I will forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye.
But somehow, because of Xia Xiaoba's actions today, her feeling of loss became stronger and stronger, and her excuses for comfort became untenable.
She had a bad feeling in her heart~~
I'm afraid that person will never come back.
well!
I originally wanted my heart to illuminate the moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.
Amid countless lamentations and disappointments, Xiao Ming slowly closed her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, on the second day, a little white appeared in the sky and slowly dispersed into the dark night. Gradually, blurred shadows could barely be seen on the earth.
Ice cubes condensed at night are like small translucent crystal pillars, hanging in rows on the window lattice. The fine glass windows are stained with a white layer of icy mist, and the cold wind blows, leaving them bare. The tree trunks were stained with layers of frost.
It's getting colder.
A vigorous figure quietly jumped down from the high courtyard wall and walked straight towards Fangfei courtyard in the dark night.
The visitor cautiously entered Fangfei Courtyard. He did not go through the main entrance, but took a detour to the back of the house. He looked for a glass window and raised his hand to knock on the window, but unexpectedly he felt a pain in his ankle.
Looking down, he suddenly realized that there was a dog beside him. The black fur blended in with the surroundings. It approached him silently and bit his feet with its mouth. His cold eyes stared at him closely.
The people who came were almost scared out of their wits.
"Ouch!" Feeling the strength on his feet deepening, he cried out in pain. He hurriedly shook his feet and whispered: "Maomao, please let go, it's me."
The person pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a familiar face.
It turned out to be Xia Xiaoba.
At this time, Xia Xiaoba, who was bitten by a dog, felt miserable in his heart. His horse was broken by him last night. He walked all night to rush back. He originally wanted to handle the matter quietly before setting off to return to Beijing. But what happened? Zhi meets Maomao.
Xia Xiaoba raised his foot and tried to kick Maomao away, but failed.
Xia Xiaoba...
Maomao, you are the evil god!
"Relax, you're going to bleed!" Xia Xiaoba was anxious, but if he didn't let go, it would hurt him to death!
Maomao stared at Xia Xiaoba with his eyes, showing no intention of letting him go.
How dare you come here? I don’t care who you are, just bite me first.
Let go, what does that mean? The dog said he didn’t understand.
"Will you let me go?" Xia Xiaoba had no choice but to point at Maomao and threaten him.
I tell you, you will get beaten if you do this.
Unfortunately, Maomao just wouldn't let go.
A man and a dog were facing each other like this, and a fight was about to begin.
"Who is outside?" Xiao Ming's voice sounded in the house.
The interaction between one person and one dog woke up Xiao Ming from his sleep. He quickly put on a shirt and got out of bed, opened the window a crack and looked at the blurry figure in front of him.
"Xiao Ming, I am Xia Xiaoba, please tell Maomao to let go." Xia Xiaoba cried with joy when he saw Xiao Ming! The volume also increased a lot.
He is excited, savior!
"Maomao, let him go." Xiao Ming looked at the people watching but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Xiaoba was back, and he didn't leave.
Should she be happy, Xiao Ming thought.
After hearing the master's order, Maomao relaxed, but he squatted still and stared at someone eagerly.
"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Ming asked. It's still dark early in the morning. If you try to climb through the window, you deserve to be bitten.
Xia Xiaoba stood outside and was too embarrassed to enter the house. Mainly because he was being stared at by a big dog, he didn't dare to make any move.
His legs are still hurting now. If he dares to move again, Maomao will really bite his neck.
Being stared at by a wolfdog who coexists with strength and wisdom, he is also an Arishan!
"I was going to leave, but I forgot to tell you something, so I came back." Xia Xiaoba said embarrassedly. After staying in the cold wind for a night, he calmed down and his reason finally returned. At least he knew I can't just leave like this.
"Oh!" Xiao Ming responded, looking at Xia Xiaoba speechless.
The feeling of loss slowly crept up in my heart again.
So, do you still want to leave?
