An hour later, Xiao Ming and Xia Xiaoba were already standing in the Xia family yard in Liujiacun.
The sky has brightened, and the cold wind in the morning is blowing slowly, mixed with a few sparse raindrops.
It's getting colder.
Following Xia Xiaoba's footsteps, he walked step by step towards the Xia family's residence.
She rarely came to this house on weekdays. Most of the time, Xia Zhongquan and An went to their place. Therefore, she is not very familiar with this place.
The Xia family's courtyard is more refined and elegant than the Xiao family's, and the interior is even more carefully decorated. Compared with Xiao Ming's half-toned courtyard design, the Xia family's house is a true four-in-one large house design. .
It is no less impressive than any other big house in the city.
Stepping into the house and taking a closer look, Xiao Ming was stunned and stared straight ahead.
What did she see? Shouldn't such a magnificent house be filled with famous flowers, rare plants and trees? Shouldn't it be in an elegant style?
But no.
What catches the eye is a large amount of herbs.
Yes, herbs, living herbs, with the frost of winter.
Like the Xiao family, the good courtyard was used as a medicinal field.
Yes, herbs.
Whether it's the white porcelain blue and white flower bed or the small patch of dirt in the corridor, herbs are planted everywhere you look.
Yuanhu, Astragalus, Panax notoginseng, Tougucao..., whether they are precious and rare, or common and easy to see, you can find them all here.
"This..." Xiao Ming looked up at Xia Xiaoba, confused.
What is this for? Growing "medicine" and selling it to make money.
"My cousin has planted these with his own hands in the past month. He just hopes that you will not run to Daqingshan alone in the future." Xia Xiaoba pointed at the herbs in the courtyard and said with a sad tone.
Who would have thought that the dignified Prince of the Marquis of Dingguo would squat on the ground as a plowman, holding a hoe in the hand holding a knife to kill the enemy, squatting in the mud and planting herbs with hoe and shovel.
For the garden full of medicinal materials, their eight personal guards have traveled to every foothold of Daqing Mountain this month. Whether it is cliffs or mountains and rivers, they will not let go of any medicinal materials. , all the medicinal materials in Daqingshan were harvested by them.
Only by experiencing it personally can you understand the dangers in the deep mountains, such as wild boars prowling for food, packs of wolves, and poisonous snakes wandering under the dead grass and fallen leaves.
The prince did this just to prevent Xiao Ming from going up the mountain. Unfortunately, Xiao Ming never knew about all the hard work.
Now that I think about it, the prince must have received a secret report from the capital and returned to the capital overnight without even having time to stay behind to give him an order.
Therefore, you can't know once he's gone. If he leaves, Xiao Ming will never know everything the prince has done for her.
Xiao Ming's eyes were sore looking at these herbs. They were grown for her. She never knew he had done so much for her.
"Where did he go?"
"Northwest." Xia Xiaoba looked to the northwest. At this time, the prince has not arrived in the northwest yet, but he knows his master, and he is probably on his way to the northwest at this time.
"My cousin went to the northwest. The hateful foreign barbarians. It has only been six years since the two sides stopped fighting, but they actually started a war and invaded the border again." He actually led troops to invade again.
In the last war, they also suffered numerous casualties. But this time, there were actually an army of 100,000 people. Where did so many people come from?
His eldest son, who protects the country and the people and cares about the people, can watch helplessly as the iron hoofs of foreigners destroy the lives of his compatriots. The war in the northwest this time is different from the past. The prince has lost his military power and tiger talisman, and cannot lead troops unless summoned. Xia Xiaoba wonders if the court has a decree for the prince to go on an expedition. If not...
Xia Xiaoba bowed his head in pain due to internal and external troubles. He didn't even know whether the prince could come back safely.
Went to the northwest...
Xiao Ming was stunned, not knowing what kind of expression he should have.
Is this because we know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains?
Xiao Ming, who was still taking a chance, felt empty-hearted after learning that Shi Tingyu had gone to the northwest. Shi Ting went to the northwest to participate in the war without saying a word.
In that place where the war just started, there were too many dangers and too many accidents. She didn't even know if he could come back again.
Xiao Ming suddenly paused, restraining his thoughts from running away.
'No, how could something happen to him? His martial arts skills are so high, he will definitely come back safely. '
Standing among the herbs in the garden, the fragrance of the medicine is fragrant. Xiao Ming can imagine Shi Tingyu squatting on the ground, planting herbs with hoe and shovel, regardless of the dirty soil. He ignored his clothes, his wet trouser legs, and his hands full of mud.
Hoe and shovel, lowering head and persisting, just for one idea.
In order for her to stop going up the mountain without him.
Looking at the herbs in the garden, Xiao Ming was angry and amused. She finally understood why she had seen him covered in mud several times, and whether there was any clean mud left in his nails. Did he already know that he was going to do it? left.
hehe! So what if you move all the medicinal materials in Daqing Mountain back home? Do you know that when spring comes next year, Daqing Mountain will be full of herbs again...
You are a fool, do you know that?
Do you know that what I want is not the herbs in this garden, but companionship...
She doesn't seek fame, profit, or wealth. She just wants someone to accompany her for the rest of her life, traveling across mountains and rivers.
What she wants is this kind of companionship that will accompany her throughout her life.
It only takes a moment to meet someone, maybe just a glance, to be remembered for a lifetime.
She even forgot when she remembered him.
Was it the shock he gave her when he walked through the wolves in a hundred steps on Daqing Mountain, or was it the calm look on his face on Pingcheng Street, holding a bloody blade in his hand, or was it the scene in the heavy rain? He held her hand and crawled forward...
In the inn going south, she saw his worried frown; while in the northwest, he was worried about her reckless actions, and he jumped off the Wanzhan Cliff without hesitation to save her...
There are also the little things in daily life, simple and happy.
Xiao Ming was surprised. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time. Not only did she remember him, she was also so familiar with him.
A simple hug, a simple look, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, he warmed more than just her heart. She thought they could always live like this, as plain as water.
Because of you, Gu Mo’s heart has become more intense than it has been in a long time.
You walk with me thousands of miles, and I will accompany you till the end of your life.
With a table, two chairs, and a pot of tea, he and she can sit under the grape trellis and watch the sunset over the garden full of flowers.
Unfortunately, everything is in vain. He left without even leaving her a chance to say goodbye.
I never know when you will appear, and I never know when you will leave.
Xiao Ming turned around quietly. The ground paved with bluestone was filled with a moist atmosphere, just like Xiao Ming's heart.
After leaving Xia's house, Xiao Ming felt wetness on her face. She stretched out her hand, and a small snowflake fell on the white palm of her hand, slowly melting into cold water drops.
Xiao Ming looked up at the sky. The sky was as hazy as ever, mixed with dancing white.
It’s snowing, and I finally lived up to this wonderful winter!
Unfortunately, the snow in Liujia Village comes later than in the northwest.
