Hengnan is windy
Chapter 1 When I arrived at the barracks, I saw the soldiers who stayed behind rushing around in a h
Cute sister too. "Situ Hengnan rubbed Xing'er's hair, and then instructed the guards to do a few things.
The carriage rolled away, and Situ Hengnan stayed in place for a while before leaving.
☆, New Year's Eve
1 The winter in the south owes to the dryness in the north, and there is always some tide.A gust of cold wind does not hurt the face, but it is also full of cold.Situ Hengnan, who was not born in the south, spends the winter in the southwest where there is not enough charcoal fire, and occasionally he can't help shivering.
During the holidays, classes in the dormitory are also closed, but people from the village will still deliver food every now and then.
Situ Hengnan didn't know how to cook, and he was afraid of ruining the kitchen, so he didn't try to cook lightly, but just helped to make a fire and boil water.
Huo Feng is still the top cook, but he coughs a lot these days.
"Zixin, is the firewood too hot?" Situ Hengnan stopped the fan in his hand and asked Huo Feng.
Huo Feng coughed a few more times, without stopping the spatula in his hand, he just replied, "No."
A small fried pork dish was just finished, but Huo Feng was unsteady and fell to one side.Situ Hengnan caught Huo Feng in time, Huo Feng stabilized his body a little, and coughed again.
Situ Hengnan probed Huo Feng's forehead, and then probed his own.
"Zixin, you have a fever." Situ Heng concluded, "Get some rest."
Huo Feng just coughed again, but without responding, Situ Hengnan picked him up and carried him to the bed in the back room.
"Situ, then..." Huo Feng stood up and wanted to say something, but Situ Hengnan pressed him down.
"I'll go and get you some water. If you eat something, I'll find some medicine." Situ Hengnan said, then poured a bowl of boiling water, put it in cold water to cool down, and brought it over.
Huo Feng took a few sips and said, "You eat first, I'll go to the village to find some medicine."
"Zixin." Situ Hengnan's voice was a little annoyed, "Tell me where to find the medicine."
Huo Feng leaned against the bed and said, "You can go to the schoolhouse in the village and ask. I don't know where there is a doctor who can prescribe medicine after all these years."
"Okay, Zixin." Situ Hengnan packed some food and put it on the bedside before rushing out the door.
After descending the hillside, Situ Hengnan happened to meet Chen Ning.Chen Ning was heading towards the village with her backpack on her back.
"Chen Ning!" Situ Heng ran south.Chen Ning stopped when she heard someone calling, raised her eyes and saw Situ Hengnan, she smiled and shouted: "Brother Nan!"
But seeing that Situ Hengnan looked a little anxious, Chen Ning asked a little worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Situ Hengnan replied, "Zixin has a fever and a cough. Where is the doctor here?"
When Chen Ning heard this, she immediately slowed down her expression: "It's just a fever and cough. I don't need a doctor. Brother Nan, come with me. I'll give you some herbs, and you can go back and fry them."
Situ Hengnan followed Chen Ning to the village, took a few small bundles of herbs, thanked them with a few pieces of silver, and hurried back to the wooden house.
Chen Ning originally wanted to say that the medicinal herbs were just common medicinal herbs picked from the mountain and not worth much, but before she had time to say that, Situ Hengnan had already gone far away.
"Brother Xiaofeng's fever is so serious? Go and see later." Chen Ning looked at Situ Hengnan's back and muttered.
2 Situ Heng went back to the wooden house, Huo Feng was still leaning on the bed, half of the food was gone, but he still ate some.
Seeing that Situ Hengnan came back with a few small bundles of medicinal herbs, saying that Chen Ning gave them to him, Huo Feng lifted the quilt and said, "Let me fry it."
"Zixin, tell me how to fry." Situ Hengnan pushed Huo Feng back again.
But Huo Feng showed his face, laughed, and said: "Situ, why are you so nervous. I just have a fever. Didn't I have it in the mansion?"
Situ Hengnan was still carrying the medicine, but he felt nervous for a while.
Huo Feng had a fever, and although he was a little weak, his complexion was extremely rosy, and it also made him fairer.
Situ Hengnan looked at Huo Feng in a daze, and Huo Feng said to him: "Put a bunch of medicine in the pot, pour raw water on it, cough, pour the water soaked in medicinal herbs, soak it for a while, and then boil it thoroughly with high fire. Fry on low heat for more than a quarter of an hour."
After Situ Hengnan said he knew it, he took the medicine and went to the kitchen.
Huo Feng was in a daze, only heard a crackling sound in the kitchen, I don't know how long it took, Situ Hengnan held a bowl of medicine, helped him up, and leaned against the bed again.
After taking a bowl of medicine, Huo Feng woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, and the fever had subsided.
Rubbing his eyes, Huo Feng saw that Situ Hengnan was sitting on a chair beside him, holding his arms and holding his sword Qinglong, soundly asleep.
The tranquility of the night flowed on the young man's face, Situ Hengnan's face was much softer than usual, and his heroic eyebrows stretched out with his even breathing.The hair is a bit messy, and the hair rope is also crooked in one place.
Huo Feng wiped his sweat and prepared to change the bedding.
Situ Hengnan was startled awake at this time, and seeing Huo Feng in front of him, he got up happily, and reached out to Huo Feng's forehead with one hand.
Although it was wiped off, Huo Feng's forehead felt a little sticky, but it was already at a normal temperature.
"The fever is gone." Situ Hengnan's voice seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, but there was still deep anxiety, "What else do you feel uncomfortable about?"
Huo Feng also relaxed his expression, and joked a little: "It's just a little cold, you look like a father who is waiting for his wife to give birth."
"I'm sweating profusely, I'll change the bedding for you." Huo Feng was about to go to the attic to find a bed to change the bedding, but was stopped by Situ Hengnan.
"Zixin, rest first, and change tomorrow." Situ Heng said south.
Huo Feng saw Situ Hengnan get into bed all of a sudden, then poked his head out again, and asked timidly: "You, Zixin, would you like to sleep on this bed?"
The somewhat awkward Situ Hengnan also made Huo Feng feel a little funny, and after saying hello, he got back on the couch again.
The two of them slept together a little crowded, and even a slight movement would touch their elbows.
At this time, there was no way to boil water for bathing, so Huo Feng could only cover the quilt to avoid catching cold again.When I fell asleep again, I felt hugged by someone.
Huo Feng opened his eyes, needless to say it must be Situ Hengnan.
Withdrew the two hands on the chest, and hugged them again after a while.
"Situ, I'm sweating." Huo Feng was a little helpless.
"Zixin..." Situ Hengnan seemed to be talking in sleep, but just murmured his name.
Although it was sweaty and uncomfortable to be pressed against, it was full of warmth.Huo Feng had no choice but to close his eyes again and fell into a dream.
3 Chen Ning felt that she was stupid for working, so she asked "Yunan" to decoct the medicine by herself.That elder brother is obviously not a rough person or a servant, and he also carries a sword with him. He looks like a nobleman, how could he know how to make medicine?
Realizing this, he went to the wooden house the next morning.
There was no one in the courtyard, but there was a sound from the other side of the wooden house.Chen Ning walked over and saw that Situ Hengnan was washing the quilt while Huo Feng was guiding him.
Chen Ning's footsteps disturbed them.Huo Feng looked towards him and said, "Ah Ning, thank you for the herbs, my fever has subsided."
Chen Ning coughed twice, and replied: "That's good, that's good. I still have medicine syrup for cough and fire after the fever subsides. Brother Xiaofeng can take some twice a day, and the recovery will be faster."
Chen Ning took out a small jar and handed it to Huo Feng.
Huo Feng took the jar, seeing that he was about to pay again, Chen Ning stopped him.
"Brother Nan gave a lot of broken silver, which is worth the medicine." Chen Ning explained.
"That's good." Huo Feng understood, "Do you want to work today?"
Chen Ning shook her head and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the city with my father to buy new year's goods. Seeing that it is almost thirty years old."
Huo Feng also thought about it, and there are only a few days until New Year's Eve.
"Buy new year's goods? What do you buy?" Situ Hengnan twisted the quilt and got up.
"I usually buy some air-dried meat and cloth, and other small things that are useful, sometimes I also buy some." Chen Ning replied, "Brother Xiaofeng, do you want to buy something? By the way."
Huo Feng thought for a while, then looked at Situ Hengnan again, and said, "There are some, just wait."
Huo Feng walked into the house, and took out a piece of paper after a while, which listed some things.
"I wanted to go by myself, but I'm not familiar with the city. It's troublesome to ask for these things in the past few days." Huo Feng handed them to Chen Ning.
"No trouble, it's easy. The next time you go to the city, if brother Xiaofeng still wants to buy something, let's buy it together." Chen Ning folded it and stuffed it into the shirt.
After a brief conversation, Chen Ning left.
Situ Hengnan then aired all the quilts.Huo Feng stood by the gate, quietly looking into the distance, and handed over a dry handkerchief after Situ Hengnan finished drying.
Situ Hengnan took it and wiped his sweat, and sat down on the small bench beside him.
"Zixin, how do you celebrate the New Year here?" Situ Hengnan looked back at Huo Feng and asked curiously.
Huo Feng looked into the distance, his memory was a bit fuzzy, he thought for a moment before answering: "It's the same as the imperial city, where relatives get together and share the best things they can enjoy."
Situ Hengnan also secretly thought of the New Year's Eve in the General's Mansion in the past, when his father always drank too much on this day, and the old lady would also come to the mansion.Huo Feng was also there, and he always took him to the street to play fireworks together.
"The best thing..." Situ Hengnan couldn't help murmuring.
"Hey, why haven't I seen your cousin for so long?" Speaking of relatives, Situ Hengnan also thought of Huo Ling who visited Huo Feng a few years ago.
Huo Feng replied: "Chen Ning said that my cousin went out with Master not long ago, more than a year ago, and I don't know when he will come back."
"Your master?" Situ Hengnan remembered his father's old acquaintance, Junshi He, "Is it Uncle He who brought you here?"
"Yes." Huo Feng nodded, "It's just that although Master has a residence here, he basically travels outside. My cousin basically goes with him."
"It's a good choice to roam around and roam the world." Situ Hengnan yearned for an unfettered life from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that reckless and free and easy." Huo Feng chuckled softly, "At that time, my father entrusted me to take me across mountains and rivers, and then I was ashamed. Even he himself said that there is no real cloud travel Freedom in all directions, just wanting to drift outside.”
"It's just Uncle He's favorite way of life. I think the people here live a simple, down-to-earth, and pretty good life." Situ Hengnan looked at the misty distant mountains, and said from the bottom of his heart.
4 Situ Hengnan stayed in bed this day.The few days he spends in bed are basically reserved for winter, especially during the holidays.I think General Situ's strict requirements did not completely make him form a natural habit.
That's why Situ Hengnan always finds some reasons to give himself a little vacation. The sufficient reason is to combine work and rest. Occasionally withdrawing punches can make people punch again more powerfully.
And early in the morning, he was woken up by the banging of pots and pans.
When he woke up, he got up, yawned and walked to the kitchen.
Huo Feng was cutting some vegetables, and there were many potato slices, cabbage slices, peppers, etc. around him.
It seems that some kind of fragrant and delicious food is being cooked in a big pot of cooking on weekdays.
He only knew that Chen Ning had sent a lot of food, but he didn't know what it was.
On the small stool at the side, there were also a few sheets of paper stained with oil, and the handwriting on them was a little distorted. At first glance, it was not written by Huo Feng, but the content of the writing seemed to be made by something.
"Zixin, what delicious food are you doing?" Situ Hengnan leaned over, and the aroma of the ingredients suddenly poured into his nose, making him choke.
"Chen Ning is going to hunt and gather herbs in the mountains these days, so I asked him to write a recipe for this." Huo Feng cut the vegetables and put them neatly in a ladle.
After lifting half of the pot, a gust of hot air rushed out, and the stronger fragrance made Situ Hengnan swallow his saliva.
"This is shabu-shabu, Zixin." Situ Hengnan had a flash of inspiration and remembered the well-known shabu-shabu.
"It's almost the same, but we don't call it shabu-shabu, it's called... antique soup." Huo Feng lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma spread even more.Through the aroma and color, you can know how spicy and spicy the bottom material in the pot is.
Their dinner today was rather special than usual, and they ate around the boiler.
"Situ, it's an auspicious birthday." After trying something new, Huo Feng said suddenly.
Situ Hengnan laughed.
The general and the general's wife have debated for many years whether he was born late at night on New Year's Eve or at the moment when he was just entering the first day of the new year. With the festive enthusiasm of the General's Mansion for the new year, the servants in the mansion will also remember to say "Auspicious Birthday" to him, and his birthday is of course considered the most lively.
The arrival of a new year is a new age.It has been like this for the past 16 years.But this time, something special.
"Auspicious New Year." Situ Hengnan then poured some meat into the pot, with joy on his face and heart.
There was a faint sound of whipping and bamboo in the distance, and the sound of children laughing.
As midnight approached, fireworks bloomed in the sky, splashing out a very jubilant and lively brilliance.
Huo Feng usually rested early, but at this time he was tired and fell asleep unconsciously, leaning sideways on Situ Hengnan's shoulder.
"Zixin?" Situ Hengnan was propping his head to watch the fireworks with Huo Feng. At this moment, he took advantage of the opportunity to embrace Huo Feng, and called out, but Huo Feng only responded softly, "Yes".
The flickering light in the sky reflected Huo Feng's face, making his face bright and dark, with a different luster than usual.
Situ Hengnan brushed away the messy strands of hair on Huo Feng's face, and his heartbeat was as enthusiastic as that of fireworks.
☆, homecoming
1 In late spring, Huo Ling returned home.
Someone knocked on the door lightly early in the morning, and when the door opened slightly, Huo Lingben said a little excitedly: "Xiaofeng, I'll go back..."
But it was not Huo Feng who opened the door clearly, but someone who was somewhat familiar and couldn't tell.
The two sides looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't realize who the other party was.
"Cousin?" Huo Feng's voice came, and the two stopped looking at each other.
Huo Ling looked at Huo Feng at this moment, and immediately hugged him happily.
"Cousin, did you come back with Master?" Huo Feng asked with a gentle smile.
"Yes. Master is back too." Huo Ling nodded, looking at Huo Feng who was already a handsome young man, he felt a little emotional in his heart, and then his eyes wandered to Situ Hengnan again.
"This is Mr. Situ." Seeing that Huo Ling didn't seem to recognize Situ Hengnan, Huo Feng introduced to Huo Ling.
"Young Master Situ?" Huo Ling looked at Situ Hengnan, who was dressed in a black robe, who had grown into a tall and handsome young man, and then looked back at Huo Feng, feeling that time had passed so quickly.
"Cousin Huo." Situ Heng said south.
Huo Ling nodded in response.
He came back this time only after hearing about his uncle's death, but when he came back and saw that everything had been taken care of, and Xiaofeng seemed to be in business as usual, he was relieved and deliberately stopped talking about his uncle.
And this Young Master Situ who came to the southwest for some reason is a bit strange.
Realizing that he seemed to be sizing up Situ Hengnan again in a serious manner, Huo Ling hurriedly looked away, put down the bag he was carrying, counted the miscellaneous calligraphy, paintings, ointments and other things inside one by one, and put the basket on his back Fresh vegetables are placed in the kitchen.
"Xiaofeng, this is a good thing for treating bruises, and this one, I heard it is a unique copy, it is..." Huo Ling explained the specially prepared gift seriously.
Afterwards, Huo Ling enthusiastically cooked several dishes himself.
During dinner, the three of them didn't talk much, and Huo Ling still looked at Situ Hengnan's every move from time to time, which made Situ Hengnan feel a little uncomfortable.
2 "Situ, what's the matter?" After Huo Ling left, Huo Feng asked with some doubts seeing Situ Hengnan's frowning face.
"I always feel that the way your cousin looks at me is very strange." Thinking of being scrutinized by Huo Ling many times, Situ Hengnan seriously thought about what was wrong with him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Feng laughed and said: "He is like that. When he was very young, he always seemed to be afraid of being bullied by others. When he saw new faces next to me, he always looked at them several times. You don't need to pay attention to this. "
"Were you often bullied when you were young?" Situ Hengnan asked.
Huo Feng clenched his fingers and pressed his chin to think for a while and said: "When I was young, I was too delicate, some other boys always like to hang around me, doing some kid's tricks."
Situ Hengnan's heart skipped a beat.
"Then you, do you hate them?" Situ Hengnan didn't know why, so he suddenly asked this question.
Huo Feng shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's just that my cousin beat them up, and I feel a little guilty."
Situ Hengnan laughed a few times, thinking that Huo Lingding was too protective of Huo Feng.
Huo Ling lived in another part of Huo's Village. During this time, he visited the wooden house where Huo Feng lived from time to time, and each time he brought enough fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, and often helped him to light the fire and cook.
When the weather gets warmer and the rain passes overnight, many villagers go to the streams to look for fish.
Huo Ling came up at noon, and each of the three carried a back basket and a harpoon, and they were ready to go down to the river to catch fish.
As he approached the stream, Huo Feng rolled up his trouser legs and slowly walked into the depths of the stream. The gurgling stream overflowed his white and jade-like calf.
Situ Hengnan followed closely behind with a bamboo pole, all his attention was on Huo Feng for a moment, but his feet slipped and he fell into the stream.
"Be careful, Hengnan boy." Huo Ling stood on the harpoon, intending to give Situ Hengnan a hand, but Situ Hengnan sat up by himself and immediately withdrew his hand.
Huo Feng turned his head and said: "The bottom of the stream is a bit slippery, so be careful."
Huo Feng was looking for the small fish that appeared from time to time in front, while Huo Ling and Situ Hengnan were also looking for fish randomly.
Huo Lingzi caught multiple fish with quick eyesight and quick hands, but it was the first time in Situ Hengnan's life that he stuck a fish with a fork.Those fish were very flexible and free, and did not give him any chance to attack.So he stopped temporarily to see how Huo Ling used the bamboo pole.
Strange to say, Huo Ling can always catch the lively fish just right and put them into the basket, although there are obviously no steps to speak of.
After observing Huo Ling steadily for a while, Huo Ling felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Hengnan boy, why are you looking at me?"
Huo Feng stopped what he was doing, and said, "Cousin, don't call me a kid."
After hearing this, Huo Ling stepped into the water and walked to Huo Feng's side and said, "He seems to be a few months younger than you, what if he's not a kid."
Huo Ling's tone was not polite, but it still made people feel that he was deliberately angry, which was not annoying.
For the next half moment, he taught Huo Feng hand in hand as if ignoring Situ Hengnan.
"Hengnan boy, do you want to know how to catch more fish? Just look at it again. I don't want to teach you." Huo Ling sensed his approach and swung the harpoon triumphantly.
Not long after, Situ Hengnan found some techniques and hit a few of them.
Suddenly, he and Huo Ling hit the same line.
Huo Ling retracted the bamboo pole first and stood beside him, but Situ Heng instinctively let go, and the fish struggled to escape.
"Today is almost the same." Huo Feng caught the escaped fish in time, and said.
Huo Lingzi's basket was half full, and Huo Feng and Situ Hengnan also caught quite a few.
When I returned to the wooden house and finished packing up the booty, the sky was already a little twilight.
Huo Ling monopolized everything about grilling fish, and brought not only Situ Hengnan, but also Huo Feng.
After a while, the aroma of grilled fish overflowed.
When Huo Ling brought out the plate, the aroma became even more tangy.The taste of grilled fish is wrapped with the aroma of spices, and seasoned with shallots, which makes you want to move your chopsticks.
When Huo Ling sat down, seeing that the two of them didn't move their chopsticks for a while, he said a little funnyly: "What's the matter? We caught the fish together today. It's a little small, why don't you eat it?"
Huo Ling moved his chopsticks first, and then Huo Feng and Situ Hengnan started eating with the fish between them.
After a meal, the three of them were full of the smell of fish.
When the twilight completely fell, Huo Ling cleaned up the kitchen and went back to his residence first. When he parted, he specially told Huo Feng: "The weather is changing recently, be careful of catching a cold."
Huo Feng nodded, and then Huo Ling said like Situ Hengnan: "And you, Hengnan boy."
When Situ Hengnan heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
3 A few days later, the school was temporarily closed, and Huo Feng followed Huo Ling to visit the "master" whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Naturally, Situ Hengnan was also with him.
He Ceshi lived far away in a secluded place, and there were two strings of wind chimes hanging on the door, which swayed slightly with the wind and made a crisp sound.
When the three of them came, He Ceshi was facing a game of chess in front of him, playing against himself.
Huo Ling walked ahead, knocking on the door politely and carefully.
Only then did Mr. He raise his head.In the past few years, his face has not aged too much, but his temples have been slightly stained with wind and frost.
"Master."
Seeing Huo Feng, Mr. He, who was originally very calm, was taken aback for a moment, and then got up and said, "Zixin?"
"It's me, Master."
Huo Feng has naturally grown a lot in the past few years, his childhood childishness has long since faded, and his temperament at this time is even more restrained.
Naturally, Mr. He's face was not as serious as he was facing the chessboard just now, and he immediately calmed down. His smile was full of joy, emotion and relief, and a few small wrinkles crept up.
Situ Hengnan also made a bow and said, "Uncle He."
"Zixin has grown up, and so has Mr. Situ." Mr. He patted the shoulders of the two young men in front of him.
"Cough, cough, cough." Mr. He suddenly coughed a few times, and Huo Feng quickly helped him up.
"Zixin, Master has contracted wind disease recently, and he should have come back to see you." Mr. He patted Huo Feng's wrist comfortingly, signaling him to rest assured.
"It was Zixin who should have come to visit Master. There is no reason for Master to come here on his own initiative." Huo Feng shook his head lightly.
"Master is also very guilty about your father's matter." Mr. He sighed, "If I were in the village, I would take good care of it. I really don't want him to have a serious illness, but he didn't say anything for the first two years."
Huo Feng's complexion sank slightly, and Situ Hengnan looked very worried.
Huo Ling interrupted the sadness and said, "Master, where is the Yueshan tea you brought last time? You won't drink it while I'm not brewing it on your own, will you?"
"How could Master do such a thing." Mr. He became seriously anxious, and then took out a tea pot from the cupboard.
Huo Ling took it and went to make tea.
Huo Feng's complexion had already turned for the better, and the sadness that had been for a long time disappeared with the scent of tea.
The tea fragrance is mellow, from light to taste, but the more you taste, the stronger it becomes.
Just like this period of time, although it is a bit monotonous, it has a different taste.
The life after that is just a simple life, a mediocre life.
For Situ Hengnan, those days were the most unforgettable.Time is so fast, no wonder some people would describe it as a white horse passing by; time is also very slow, maybe it is only enough to spend with the person around you.
Morning glow, sunset, night stars, fireworks...all are the simplest and happy memories in this green water and green mountains.
It seems to be in a peaceful world, away from many disturbances, and more importantly, with that person every day.
They don't know if there are changes in the distance.
They also didn't know that in these peaceful days, there was an urgent letter being delivered here from the imperial city at high speed.
☆, separation
1 On this day, Uncle Liu passed by the wooden house and told Huo Feng that the Yi people had a light show at night, and told him to go and see it.
Huo Feng agreed, but actually he didn't want to go too much.
On the other hand, Situ Hengnan was very excited, and said, "The Southwestern Yi people? I've heard it before, and their performance should be pretty good."
"En." Huo Feng responded, remembering that when he was a child, his father often took him to watch the annual light show.
In the evening, Situ Hengnan left the wooden house first, Huo Feng packed up his things for a while, and followed him to the place where the crowd gathered in the mountains.
As soon as they reached the crowd, they broke up, and the crowd formed different circles to sing and dance.
A few girls of the Yi ethnic group ran barefoot in complicated and beautiful costumes, circling freely in front of people.
After the singing of the crowd stopped, a girl with the most delicate appearance cleared her throat and began to sing a folk song.
Her voice is cool and clear, natural and clean, as if it is a priceless treasure bred by the green mountains and rivers.
After she finished singing a verse, she held up the wine glass in her hand and danced gracefully. After several back and forth, she actually arrived in front of Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan's eyes were looking for Huo Feng, when someone blocked his sight for a moment, he turned to the girl in front of him.
The girl was not shy at all, she wrapped the scarf in her hand around Situ Hengnan's neck, and toasted him with a glass of wine.
He wanted to politely refuse, but everyone around him was calling him to drink, and the boos were overwhelming.
"Brother Nan, hurry up and drink." Chen Ning said with a smile behind her, "That girl likes you, but you'll be fine if you drink it, but if you don't drink it, you will lose face."
After hearing these words, Situ Hengnan drank the glass of mellow and intoxicating wine.When the girl saw that he drank the wine, her face became even more joyful, and she pulled him up to dance.
Of course he can't dance, he just dances around with the girl.
After a while, another bright vermilion scarf was wrapped around his neck, and another girl wearing exquisite silver jewelry came to toast again, and Situ Hengnan went around in circles for a long time.
Not only these two Yi girls, but also several girls behind him put the scarves in their hands around his neck, and pulled him around in circles.
Situ Hengnan drank a lot of wine and wandered around in circles for a long time, feeling a little dizzy.
Huo Feng watched him being pushed left and right very welcome from a distance, smiled slightly, and asked Chen Ning to bring Situ Hengnan back later, and then went back to the wooden house by himself.
2 Not long after, Situ Hengnan was already very drunk, and Chen Ning carried him back to the wooden house, while Huo Feng had been waiting at the door of the wooden house for a long time.
Huo Feng thanked her, and Chen Ning went back to her home.
Seeing Huo Feng, Situ Hengnan smirked, then collapsed on him and began to murmur.
"Zixin, you...do you like me?"
"Zixin, do you like me?"
"Zixin, will you think of me when we part..."
Situ Hengnan's laughter stopped, but a few tears suddenly fell.
"Situ..." Huo Feng grabbed Situ's arms and was a little stunned.
"Zixin, I like you so much." Situ frowned drunkenly, "Zixin, I don't like Qilan, hiccup...I don't like those girls, I like you."
Situ Hengnan laughed again.
Huo Feng let go, not knowing what to say for a while.Looking at Situ Hengnan in front of him at that time, he felt that he was really drunk, but his tone of voice was so sincere.
"Zixin, I can't leave you. You keep your filial piety with you, and you don't want to see you for a day. I will... miss you and miss you." Situ Wu said to himself, and unconsciously became heavier , buried his head on Huo Feng's neck, and breathed out a strong breath of alcohol.
"You're drunk." Huo Feng frowned and replied softly.
"I didn't." Situ Hengnan suddenly raised his face again, his bright eyes were as bright as stars, staring into Huo Feng's eyes.
Situ Hengnan laughed again, and the unexpected kiss that followed made Huo Feng unable to react for a while. When Huo Feng realized, he wanted to push him away, but Situ Hengnan's strength was very strong, and for a while Huo Feng Naturally did not push away.
It took a long time for Situ to let go of his lips, and then he hugged Huo Feng unexpectedly, and walked towards the wooden house, his steps were still very steady.
"Situ!" Huo Feng knew that Situ Hengnan was very strong, but he didn't expect that Situ Hengnan's strength was so strong that he couldn't break free for a while, so he could only let him carry him back to the wooden house.
But when he lifted him to the bed, he pressed down heavily, but all of a sudden, he just knocked his chin on his shoulder, and slowly fell asleep.
And Huo Feng's mind was even more chaotic, he slightly raised his eyes to look at the shining moonlight cast by the window lattice, and was extremely confused in his heart.
Half a moment later, there were some footsteps.
Someone stepped into the room and reached out to remove Situ Hengnan who was pressing on Huo Feng.
"Cousin." Huo Feng called out in embarrassment.
Huo Ling saw that his clothes were wrinkled and his face was flushed, and he saw Situ Hengnan who was unconscious on the bed, so he snorted heavily.
"This is an urgent letter from the imperial city." Huo Ling reached out and handed over a letter.
Huo Feng took it, and the letter was written "Designed from Hengnan". He knew the wax and seal on it, and it was unique to the General's Mansion.
"Master has received the news that the Alliance of All Clans in the North has been established, and the border is in danger." Huo Ling frowned, alluding to what might be mentioned in the letter.
When Huo Feng heard this, he looked worriedly at Situ Hengnan who was sleeping soundly.
"Xiaofeng, the General's Mansion has indeed been kind to you for so many years." Huo Ling sighed, "I think this kid treats you... very special, but in the future, I can't owe you any more favors from the General's Mansion."
"En." Huo Feng nodded solemnly.
Huo Ling took out another delicate porcelain bottle and said, "There have been a lot of mosquitoes recently, so sprinkle some around to drive them away."
3 When Situ Hengnan woke up, he only felt that the back of his head was swollen, and his whole body was exhausted. He shook his head a few times before recalling some scattered fragments of last night.
Slapping himself hard on the face, Situ Hengnan hurriedly straightened his clothes.When I got up, I found a bowl of hangover soup and two letters on the table in Mushe.Situ opened one of them first, and found that it was a letter sent by Myolie not long after he left home.And the other one was printed with his father's private seal and the special wax pattern of the General's Mansion.
The content mentioned above made him wake up even more.
The northern tribes, headed by the Beitu tribe, formed an alliance again, and they were about to break through the outer defense line of the Central Plains, and the smoke of a war was ignited again.
The northern battlefield is calling for him.
He pushed the door and went out, wanting to find Huo Feng's figure.
But there is no him in the dormitory.
People on the road said they hadn't seen him.
The children in the school also said that they hadn't met Huo Feng since a few days ago.
Did he go back to the general's mansion first?Situ Hengnan thought.
No, he must still be here, but he cannot be found.It was probably because Huo Feng didn't want to see him again.
What did he do yesterday.
"Zixin!"
"Zixin!"
He ran to the top of the mountain in one breath, and shouted into the distance somewhat at a loss.
Only a few echoes were answered, nothing else.
Situ Hengnan breathed a sigh of relief, staggered back a few steps, looked at the distant mountains again, hurried down the mountain, and wrote a farewell letter in the wooden house, with a trembling handwriting.
Kaifeng was already waiting for him at the intersection, with a bag of broken silver and a water bottle hanging on his body.
He stepped onto Kaifeng with one leap, holding the rein in his hand, but he was too late to go.
"Zixin, I know you are here." Situ Hengnan said loudly, "You will return to the imperial city, right? If you don't return, wait for my triumphant return!"
"Zixin!" Situ shouted again, "The General's Mansion will always be your home!"
Situ immediately picked up the reins, his last eyes lingered on the mountains and rivers not far away, and he walked quickly with Kaifeng.
"Xiaofeng, don't look, he's gone far away." Huo Ling leaned against a big tree and yawned.
"Cousin." Huo Feng's face returned to his usual calm, "Last night..."
"I saw that kid paralyzed on top of you from a distance." Huo Ling frowned and thought again, "What did he say?"
Seeing that Huo Feng's face turned sad again, Huo Ling said, "Forget it, Xiaofeng, he has his general way, and we have our peaceful days."
Huo Ling then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master is leaving again, Xiaofeng, the filial piety period will be over in a few days, let's make some preparations and continue our journey."
Huo Feng glanced at the direction where Situ Hengnan Juechen was going, and then turned around and said hello in a low voice.
☆, return to the city
1 When Huo Feng woke up, it was already dawn.Thinking of some youthful things in the dream, Huo Feng slowly laughed.
Soon after, Captain Wu and Captain Li, who took the lead, reported
The carriage rolled away, and Situ Hengnan stayed in place for a while before leaving.
☆, New Year's Eve
1 The winter in the south owes to the dryness in the north, and there is always some tide.A gust of cold wind does not hurt the face, but it is also full of cold.Situ Hengnan, who was not born in the south, spends the winter in the southwest where there is not enough charcoal fire, and occasionally he can't help shivering.
During the holidays, classes in the dormitory are also closed, but people from the village will still deliver food every now and then.
Situ Hengnan didn't know how to cook, and he was afraid of ruining the kitchen, so he didn't try to cook lightly, but just helped to make a fire and boil water.
Huo Feng is still the top cook, but he coughs a lot these days.
"Zixin, is the firewood too hot?" Situ Hengnan stopped the fan in his hand and asked Huo Feng.
Huo Feng coughed a few more times, without stopping the spatula in his hand, he just replied, "No."
A small fried pork dish was just finished, but Huo Feng was unsteady and fell to one side.Situ Hengnan caught Huo Feng in time, Huo Feng stabilized his body a little, and coughed again.
Situ Hengnan probed Huo Feng's forehead, and then probed his own.
"Zixin, you have a fever." Situ Heng concluded, "Get some rest."
Huo Feng just coughed again, but without responding, Situ Hengnan picked him up and carried him to the bed in the back room.
"Situ, then..." Huo Feng stood up and wanted to say something, but Situ Hengnan pressed him down.
"I'll go and get you some water. If you eat something, I'll find some medicine." Situ Hengnan said, then poured a bowl of boiling water, put it in cold water to cool down, and brought it over.
Huo Feng took a few sips and said, "You eat first, I'll go to the village to find some medicine."
"Zixin." Situ Hengnan's voice was a little annoyed, "Tell me where to find the medicine."
Huo Feng leaned against the bed and said, "You can go to the schoolhouse in the village and ask. I don't know where there is a doctor who can prescribe medicine after all these years."
"Okay, Zixin." Situ Hengnan packed some food and put it on the bedside before rushing out the door.
After descending the hillside, Situ Hengnan happened to meet Chen Ning.Chen Ning was heading towards the village with her backpack on her back.
"Chen Ning!" Situ Heng ran south.Chen Ning stopped when she heard someone calling, raised her eyes and saw Situ Hengnan, she smiled and shouted: "Brother Nan!"
But seeing that Situ Hengnan looked a little anxious, Chen Ning asked a little worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Situ Hengnan replied, "Zixin has a fever and a cough. Where is the doctor here?"
When Chen Ning heard this, she immediately slowed down her expression: "It's just a fever and cough. I don't need a doctor. Brother Nan, come with me. I'll give you some herbs, and you can go back and fry them."
Situ Hengnan followed Chen Ning to the village, took a few small bundles of herbs, thanked them with a few pieces of silver, and hurried back to the wooden house.
Chen Ning originally wanted to say that the medicinal herbs were just common medicinal herbs picked from the mountain and not worth much, but before she had time to say that, Situ Hengnan had already gone far away.
"Brother Xiaofeng's fever is so serious? Go and see later." Chen Ning looked at Situ Hengnan's back and muttered.
2 Situ Heng went back to the wooden house, Huo Feng was still leaning on the bed, half of the food was gone, but he still ate some.
Seeing that Situ Hengnan came back with a few small bundles of medicinal herbs, saying that Chen Ning gave them to him, Huo Feng lifted the quilt and said, "Let me fry it."
"Zixin, tell me how to fry." Situ Hengnan pushed Huo Feng back again.
But Huo Feng showed his face, laughed, and said: "Situ, why are you so nervous. I just have a fever. Didn't I have it in the mansion?"
Situ Hengnan was still carrying the medicine, but he felt nervous for a while.
Huo Feng had a fever, and although he was a little weak, his complexion was extremely rosy, and it also made him fairer.
Situ Hengnan looked at Huo Feng in a daze, and Huo Feng said to him: "Put a bunch of medicine in the pot, pour raw water on it, cough, pour the water soaked in medicinal herbs, soak it for a while, and then boil it thoroughly with high fire. Fry on low heat for more than a quarter of an hour."
After Situ Hengnan said he knew it, he took the medicine and went to the kitchen.
Huo Feng was in a daze, only heard a crackling sound in the kitchen, I don't know how long it took, Situ Hengnan held a bowl of medicine, helped him up, and leaned against the bed again.
After taking a bowl of medicine, Huo Feng woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, and the fever had subsided.
Rubbing his eyes, Huo Feng saw that Situ Hengnan was sitting on a chair beside him, holding his arms and holding his sword Qinglong, soundly asleep.
The tranquility of the night flowed on the young man's face, Situ Hengnan's face was much softer than usual, and his heroic eyebrows stretched out with his even breathing.The hair is a bit messy, and the hair rope is also crooked in one place.
Huo Feng wiped his sweat and prepared to change the bedding.
Situ Hengnan was startled awake at this time, and seeing Huo Feng in front of him, he got up happily, and reached out to Huo Feng's forehead with one hand.
Although it was wiped off, Huo Feng's forehead felt a little sticky, but it was already at a normal temperature.
"The fever is gone." Situ Hengnan's voice seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, but there was still deep anxiety, "What else do you feel uncomfortable about?"
Huo Feng also relaxed his expression, and joked a little: "It's just a little cold, you look like a father who is waiting for his wife to give birth."
"I'm sweating profusely, I'll change the bedding for you." Huo Feng was about to go to the attic to find a bed to change the bedding, but was stopped by Situ Hengnan.
"Zixin, rest first, and change tomorrow." Situ Heng said south.
Huo Feng saw Situ Hengnan get into bed all of a sudden, then poked his head out again, and asked timidly: "You, Zixin, would you like to sleep on this bed?"
The somewhat awkward Situ Hengnan also made Huo Feng feel a little funny, and after saying hello, he got back on the couch again.
The two of them slept together a little crowded, and even a slight movement would touch their elbows.
At this time, there was no way to boil water for bathing, so Huo Feng could only cover the quilt to avoid catching cold again.When I fell asleep again, I felt hugged by someone.
Huo Feng opened his eyes, needless to say it must be Situ Hengnan.
Withdrew the two hands on the chest, and hugged them again after a while.
"Situ, I'm sweating." Huo Feng was a little helpless.
"Zixin..." Situ Hengnan seemed to be talking in sleep, but just murmured his name.
Although it was sweaty and uncomfortable to be pressed against, it was full of warmth.Huo Feng had no choice but to close his eyes again and fell into a dream.
3 Chen Ning felt that she was stupid for working, so she asked "Yunan" to decoct the medicine by herself.That elder brother is obviously not a rough person or a servant, and he also carries a sword with him. He looks like a nobleman, how could he know how to make medicine?
Realizing this, he went to the wooden house the next morning.
There was no one in the courtyard, but there was a sound from the other side of the wooden house.Chen Ning walked over and saw that Situ Hengnan was washing the quilt while Huo Feng was guiding him.
Chen Ning's footsteps disturbed them.Huo Feng looked towards him and said, "Ah Ning, thank you for the herbs, my fever has subsided."
Chen Ning coughed twice, and replied: "That's good, that's good. I still have medicine syrup for cough and fire after the fever subsides. Brother Xiaofeng can take some twice a day, and the recovery will be faster."
Chen Ning took out a small jar and handed it to Huo Feng.
Huo Feng took the jar, seeing that he was about to pay again, Chen Ning stopped him.
"Brother Nan gave a lot of broken silver, which is worth the medicine." Chen Ning explained.
"That's good." Huo Feng understood, "Do you want to work today?"
Chen Ning shook her head and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the city with my father to buy new year's goods. Seeing that it is almost thirty years old."
Huo Feng also thought about it, and there are only a few days until New Year's Eve.
"Buy new year's goods? What do you buy?" Situ Hengnan twisted the quilt and got up.
"I usually buy some air-dried meat and cloth, and other small things that are useful, sometimes I also buy some." Chen Ning replied, "Brother Xiaofeng, do you want to buy something? By the way."
Huo Feng thought for a while, then looked at Situ Hengnan again, and said, "There are some, just wait."
Huo Feng walked into the house, and took out a piece of paper after a while, which listed some things.
"I wanted to go by myself, but I'm not familiar with the city. It's troublesome to ask for these things in the past few days." Huo Feng handed them to Chen Ning.
"No trouble, it's easy. The next time you go to the city, if brother Xiaofeng still wants to buy something, let's buy it together." Chen Ning folded it and stuffed it into the shirt.
After a brief conversation, Chen Ning left.
Situ Hengnan then aired all the quilts.Huo Feng stood by the gate, quietly looking into the distance, and handed over a dry handkerchief after Situ Hengnan finished drying.
Situ Hengnan took it and wiped his sweat, and sat down on the small bench beside him.
"Zixin, how do you celebrate the New Year here?" Situ Hengnan looked back at Huo Feng and asked curiously.
Huo Feng looked into the distance, his memory was a bit fuzzy, he thought for a moment before answering: "It's the same as the imperial city, where relatives get together and share the best things they can enjoy."
Situ Hengnan also secretly thought of the New Year's Eve in the General's Mansion in the past, when his father always drank too much on this day, and the old lady would also come to the mansion.Huo Feng was also there, and he always took him to the street to play fireworks together.
"The best thing..." Situ Hengnan couldn't help murmuring.
"Hey, why haven't I seen your cousin for so long?" Speaking of relatives, Situ Hengnan also thought of Huo Ling who visited Huo Feng a few years ago.
Huo Feng replied: "Chen Ning said that my cousin went out with Master not long ago, more than a year ago, and I don't know when he will come back."
"Your master?" Situ Hengnan remembered his father's old acquaintance, Junshi He, "Is it Uncle He who brought you here?"
"Yes." Huo Feng nodded, "It's just that although Master has a residence here, he basically travels outside. My cousin basically goes with him."
"It's a good choice to roam around and roam the world." Situ Hengnan yearned for an unfettered life from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that reckless and free and easy." Huo Feng chuckled softly, "At that time, my father entrusted me to take me across mountains and rivers, and then I was ashamed. Even he himself said that there is no real cloud travel Freedom in all directions, just wanting to drift outside.”
"It's just Uncle He's favorite way of life. I think the people here live a simple, down-to-earth, and pretty good life." Situ Hengnan looked at the misty distant mountains, and said from the bottom of his heart.
4 Situ Hengnan stayed in bed this day.The few days he spends in bed are basically reserved for winter, especially during the holidays.I think General Situ's strict requirements did not completely make him form a natural habit.
That's why Situ Hengnan always finds some reasons to give himself a little vacation. The sufficient reason is to combine work and rest. Occasionally withdrawing punches can make people punch again more powerfully.
And early in the morning, he was woken up by the banging of pots and pans.
When he woke up, he got up, yawned and walked to the kitchen.
Huo Feng was cutting some vegetables, and there were many potato slices, cabbage slices, peppers, etc. around him.
It seems that some kind of fragrant and delicious food is being cooked in a big pot of cooking on weekdays.
He only knew that Chen Ning had sent a lot of food, but he didn't know what it was.
On the small stool at the side, there were also a few sheets of paper stained with oil, and the handwriting on them was a little distorted. At first glance, it was not written by Huo Feng, but the content of the writing seemed to be made by something.
"Zixin, what delicious food are you doing?" Situ Hengnan leaned over, and the aroma of the ingredients suddenly poured into his nose, making him choke.
"Chen Ning is going to hunt and gather herbs in the mountains these days, so I asked him to write a recipe for this." Huo Feng cut the vegetables and put them neatly in a ladle.
After lifting half of the pot, a gust of hot air rushed out, and the stronger fragrance made Situ Hengnan swallow his saliva.
"This is shabu-shabu, Zixin." Situ Hengnan had a flash of inspiration and remembered the well-known shabu-shabu.
"It's almost the same, but we don't call it shabu-shabu, it's called... antique soup." Huo Feng lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma spread even more.Through the aroma and color, you can know how spicy and spicy the bottom material in the pot is.
Their dinner today was rather special than usual, and they ate around the boiler.
"Situ, it's an auspicious birthday." After trying something new, Huo Feng said suddenly.
Situ Hengnan laughed.
The general and the general's wife have debated for many years whether he was born late at night on New Year's Eve or at the moment when he was just entering the first day of the new year. With the festive enthusiasm of the General's Mansion for the new year, the servants in the mansion will also remember to say "Auspicious Birthday" to him, and his birthday is of course considered the most lively.
The arrival of a new year is a new age.It has been like this for the past 16 years.But this time, something special.
"Auspicious New Year." Situ Hengnan then poured some meat into the pot, with joy on his face and heart.
There was a faint sound of whipping and bamboo in the distance, and the sound of children laughing.
As midnight approached, fireworks bloomed in the sky, splashing out a very jubilant and lively brilliance.
Huo Feng usually rested early, but at this time he was tired and fell asleep unconsciously, leaning sideways on Situ Hengnan's shoulder.
"Zixin?" Situ Hengnan was propping his head to watch the fireworks with Huo Feng. At this moment, he took advantage of the opportunity to embrace Huo Feng, and called out, but Huo Feng only responded softly, "Yes".
The flickering light in the sky reflected Huo Feng's face, making his face bright and dark, with a different luster than usual.
Situ Hengnan brushed away the messy strands of hair on Huo Feng's face, and his heartbeat was as enthusiastic as that of fireworks.
☆, homecoming
1 In late spring, Huo Ling returned home.
Someone knocked on the door lightly early in the morning, and when the door opened slightly, Huo Lingben said a little excitedly: "Xiaofeng, I'll go back..."
But it was not Huo Feng who opened the door clearly, but someone who was somewhat familiar and couldn't tell.
The two sides looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't realize who the other party was.
"Cousin?" Huo Feng's voice came, and the two stopped looking at each other.
Huo Ling looked at Huo Feng at this moment, and immediately hugged him happily.
"Cousin, did you come back with Master?" Huo Feng asked with a gentle smile.
"Yes. Master is back too." Huo Ling nodded, looking at Huo Feng who was already a handsome young man, he felt a little emotional in his heart, and then his eyes wandered to Situ Hengnan again.
"This is Mr. Situ." Seeing that Huo Ling didn't seem to recognize Situ Hengnan, Huo Feng introduced to Huo Ling.
"Young Master Situ?" Huo Ling looked at Situ Hengnan, who was dressed in a black robe, who had grown into a tall and handsome young man, and then looked back at Huo Feng, feeling that time had passed so quickly.
"Cousin Huo." Situ Heng said south.
Huo Ling nodded in response.
He came back this time only after hearing about his uncle's death, but when he came back and saw that everything had been taken care of, and Xiaofeng seemed to be in business as usual, he was relieved and deliberately stopped talking about his uncle.
And this Young Master Situ who came to the southwest for some reason is a bit strange.
Realizing that he seemed to be sizing up Situ Hengnan again in a serious manner, Huo Ling hurriedly looked away, put down the bag he was carrying, counted the miscellaneous calligraphy, paintings, ointments and other things inside one by one, and put the basket on his back Fresh vegetables are placed in the kitchen.
"Xiaofeng, this is a good thing for treating bruises, and this one, I heard it is a unique copy, it is..." Huo Ling explained the specially prepared gift seriously.
Afterwards, Huo Ling enthusiastically cooked several dishes himself.
During dinner, the three of them didn't talk much, and Huo Ling still looked at Situ Hengnan's every move from time to time, which made Situ Hengnan feel a little uncomfortable.
2 "Situ, what's the matter?" After Huo Ling left, Huo Feng asked with some doubts seeing Situ Hengnan's frowning face.
"I always feel that the way your cousin looks at me is very strange." Thinking of being scrutinized by Huo Ling many times, Situ Hengnan seriously thought about what was wrong with him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Feng laughed and said: "He is like that. When he was very young, he always seemed to be afraid of being bullied by others. When he saw new faces next to me, he always looked at them several times. You don't need to pay attention to this. "
"Were you often bullied when you were young?" Situ Hengnan asked.
Huo Feng clenched his fingers and pressed his chin to think for a while and said: "When I was young, I was too delicate, some other boys always like to hang around me, doing some kid's tricks."
Situ Hengnan's heart skipped a beat.
"Then you, do you hate them?" Situ Hengnan didn't know why, so he suddenly asked this question.
Huo Feng shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's just that my cousin beat them up, and I feel a little guilty."
Situ Hengnan laughed a few times, thinking that Huo Lingding was too protective of Huo Feng.
Huo Ling lived in another part of Huo's Village. During this time, he visited the wooden house where Huo Feng lived from time to time, and each time he brought enough fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, and often helped him to light the fire and cook.
When the weather gets warmer and the rain passes overnight, many villagers go to the streams to look for fish.
Huo Ling came up at noon, and each of the three carried a back basket and a harpoon, and they were ready to go down to the river to catch fish.
As he approached the stream, Huo Feng rolled up his trouser legs and slowly walked into the depths of the stream. The gurgling stream overflowed his white and jade-like calf.
Situ Hengnan followed closely behind with a bamboo pole, all his attention was on Huo Feng for a moment, but his feet slipped and he fell into the stream.
"Be careful, Hengnan boy." Huo Ling stood on the harpoon, intending to give Situ Hengnan a hand, but Situ Hengnan sat up by himself and immediately withdrew his hand.
Huo Feng turned his head and said: "The bottom of the stream is a bit slippery, so be careful."
Huo Feng was looking for the small fish that appeared from time to time in front, while Huo Ling and Situ Hengnan were also looking for fish randomly.
Huo Lingzi caught multiple fish with quick eyesight and quick hands, but it was the first time in Situ Hengnan's life that he stuck a fish with a fork.Those fish were very flexible and free, and did not give him any chance to attack.So he stopped temporarily to see how Huo Ling used the bamboo pole.
Strange to say, Huo Ling can always catch the lively fish just right and put them into the basket, although there are obviously no steps to speak of.
After observing Huo Ling steadily for a while, Huo Ling felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Hengnan boy, why are you looking at me?"
Huo Feng stopped what he was doing, and said, "Cousin, don't call me a kid."
After hearing this, Huo Ling stepped into the water and walked to Huo Feng's side and said, "He seems to be a few months younger than you, what if he's not a kid."
Huo Ling's tone was not polite, but it still made people feel that he was deliberately angry, which was not annoying.
For the next half moment, he taught Huo Feng hand in hand as if ignoring Situ Hengnan.
"Hengnan boy, do you want to know how to catch more fish? Just look at it again. I don't want to teach you." Huo Ling sensed his approach and swung the harpoon triumphantly.
Not long after, Situ Hengnan found some techniques and hit a few of them.
Suddenly, he and Huo Ling hit the same line.
Huo Ling retracted the bamboo pole first and stood beside him, but Situ Heng instinctively let go, and the fish struggled to escape.
"Today is almost the same." Huo Feng caught the escaped fish in time, and said.
Huo Lingzi's basket was half full, and Huo Feng and Situ Hengnan also caught quite a few.
When I returned to the wooden house and finished packing up the booty, the sky was already a little twilight.
Huo Ling monopolized everything about grilling fish, and brought not only Situ Hengnan, but also Huo Feng.
After a while, the aroma of grilled fish overflowed.
When Huo Ling brought out the plate, the aroma became even more tangy.The taste of grilled fish is wrapped with the aroma of spices, and seasoned with shallots, which makes you want to move your chopsticks.
When Huo Ling sat down, seeing that the two of them didn't move their chopsticks for a while, he said a little funnyly: "What's the matter? We caught the fish together today. It's a little small, why don't you eat it?"
Huo Ling moved his chopsticks first, and then Huo Feng and Situ Hengnan started eating with the fish between them.
After a meal, the three of them were full of the smell of fish.
When the twilight completely fell, Huo Ling cleaned up the kitchen and went back to his residence first. When he parted, he specially told Huo Feng: "The weather is changing recently, be careful of catching a cold."
Huo Feng nodded, and then Huo Ling said like Situ Hengnan: "And you, Hengnan boy."
When Situ Hengnan heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
3 A few days later, the school was temporarily closed, and Huo Feng followed Huo Ling to visit the "master" whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Naturally, Situ Hengnan was also with him.
He Ceshi lived far away in a secluded place, and there were two strings of wind chimes hanging on the door, which swayed slightly with the wind and made a crisp sound.
When the three of them came, He Ceshi was facing a game of chess in front of him, playing against himself.
Huo Ling walked ahead, knocking on the door politely and carefully.
Only then did Mr. He raise his head.In the past few years, his face has not aged too much, but his temples have been slightly stained with wind and frost.
"Master."
Seeing Huo Feng, Mr. He, who was originally very calm, was taken aback for a moment, and then got up and said, "Zixin?"
"It's me, Master."
Huo Feng has naturally grown a lot in the past few years, his childhood childishness has long since faded, and his temperament at this time is even more restrained.
Naturally, Mr. He's face was not as serious as he was facing the chessboard just now, and he immediately calmed down. His smile was full of joy, emotion and relief, and a few small wrinkles crept up.
Situ Hengnan also made a bow and said, "Uncle He."
"Zixin has grown up, and so has Mr. Situ." Mr. He patted the shoulders of the two young men in front of him.
"Cough, cough, cough." Mr. He suddenly coughed a few times, and Huo Feng quickly helped him up.
"Zixin, Master has contracted wind disease recently, and he should have come back to see you." Mr. He patted Huo Feng's wrist comfortingly, signaling him to rest assured.
"It was Zixin who should have come to visit Master. There is no reason for Master to come here on his own initiative." Huo Feng shook his head lightly.
"Master is also very guilty about your father's matter." Mr. He sighed, "If I were in the village, I would take good care of it. I really don't want him to have a serious illness, but he didn't say anything for the first two years."
Huo Feng's complexion sank slightly, and Situ Hengnan looked very worried.
Huo Ling interrupted the sadness and said, "Master, where is the Yueshan tea you brought last time? You won't drink it while I'm not brewing it on your own, will you?"
"How could Master do such a thing." Mr. He became seriously anxious, and then took out a tea pot from the cupboard.
Huo Ling took it and went to make tea.
Huo Feng's complexion had already turned for the better, and the sadness that had been for a long time disappeared with the scent of tea.
The tea fragrance is mellow, from light to taste, but the more you taste, the stronger it becomes.
Just like this period of time, although it is a bit monotonous, it has a different taste.
The life after that is just a simple life, a mediocre life.
For Situ Hengnan, those days were the most unforgettable.Time is so fast, no wonder some people would describe it as a white horse passing by; time is also very slow, maybe it is only enough to spend with the person around you.
Morning glow, sunset, night stars, fireworks...all are the simplest and happy memories in this green water and green mountains.
It seems to be in a peaceful world, away from many disturbances, and more importantly, with that person every day.
They don't know if there are changes in the distance.
They also didn't know that in these peaceful days, there was an urgent letter being delivered here from the imperial city at high speed.
☆, separation
1 On this day, Uncle Liu passed by the wooden house and told Huo Feng that the Yi people had a light show at night, and told him to go and see it.
Huo Feng agreed, but actually he didn't want to go too much.
On the other hand, Situ Hengnan was very excited, and said, "The Southwestern Yi people? I've heard it before, and their performance should be pretty good."
"En." Huo Feng responded, remembering that when he was a child, his father often took him to watch the annual light show.
In the evening, Situ Hengnan left the wooden house first, Huo Feng packed up his things for a while, and followed him to the place where the crowd gathered in the mountains.
As soon as they reached the crowd, they broke up, and the crowd formed different circles to sing and dance.
A few girls of the Yi ethnic group ran barefoot in complicated and beautiful costumes, circling freely in front of people.
After the singing of the crowd stopped, a girl with the most delicate appearance cleared her throat and began to sing a folk song.
Her voice is cool and clear, natural and clean, as if it is a priceless treasure bred by the green mountains and rivers.
After she finished singing a verse, she held up the wine glass in her hand and danced gracefully. After several back and forth, she actually arrived in front of Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan's eyes were looking for Huo Feng, when someone blocked his sight for a moment, he turned to the girl in front of him.
The girl was not shy at all, she wrapped the scarf in her hand around Situ Hengnan's neck, and toasted him with a glass of wine.
He wanted to politely refuse, but everyone around him was calling him to drink, and the boos were overwhelming.
"Brother Nan, hurry up and drink." Chen Ning said with a smile behind her, "That girl likes you, but you'll be fine if you drink it, but if you don't drink it, you will lose face."
After hearing these words, Situ Hengnan drank the glass of mellow and intoxicating wine.When the girl saw that he drank the wine, her face became even more joyful, and she pulled him up to dance.
Of course he can't dance, he just dances around with the girl.
After a while, another bright vermilion scarf was wrapped around his neck, and another girl wearing exquisite silver jewelry came to toast again, and Situ Hengnan went around in circles for a long time.
Not only these two Yi girls, but also several girls behind him put the scarves in their hands around his neck, and pulled him around in circles.
Situ Hengnan drank a lot of wine and wandered around in circles for a long time, feeling a little dizzy.
Huo Feng watched him being pushed left and right very welcome from a distance, smiled slightly, and asked Chen Ning to bring Situ Hengnan back later, and then went back to the wooden house by himself.
2 Not long after, Situ Hengnan was already very drunk, and Chen Ning carried him back to the wooden house, while Huo Feng had been waiting at the door of the wooden house for a long time.
Huo Feng thanked her, and Chen Ning went back to her home.
Seeing Huo Feng, Situ Hengnan smirked, then collapsed on him and began to murmur.
"Zixin, you...do you like me?"
"Zixin, do you like me?"
"Zixin, will you think of me when we part..."
Situ Hengnan's laughter stopped, but a few tears suddenly fell.
"Situ..." Huo Feng grabbed Situ's arms and was a little stunned.
"Zixin, I like you so much." Situ frowned drunkenly, "Zixin, I don't like Qilan, hiccup...I don't like those girls, I like you."
Situ Hengnan laughed again.
Huo Feng let go, not knowing what to say for a while.Looking at Situ Hengnan in front of him at that time, he felt that he was really drunk, but his tone of voice was so sincere.
"Zixin, I can't leave you. You keep your filial piety with you, and you don't want to see you for a day. I will... miss you and miss you." Situ Wu said to himself, and unconsciously became heavier , buried his head on Huo Feng's neck, and breathed out a strong breath of alcohol.
"You're drunk." Huo Feng frowned and replied softly.
"I didn't." Situ Hengnan suddenly raised his face again, his bright eyes were as bright as stars, staring into Huo Feng's eyes.
Situ Hengnan laughed again, and the unexpected kiss that followed made Huo Feng unable to react for a while. When Huo Feng realized, he wanted to push him away, but Situ Hengnan's strength was very strong, and for a while Huo Feng Naturally did not push away.
It took a long time for Situ to let go of his lips, and then he hugged Huo Feng unexpectedly, and walked towards the wooden house, his steps were still very steady.
"Situ!" Huo Feng knew that Situ Hengnan was very strong, but he didn't expect that Situ Hengnan's strength was so strong that he couldn't break free for a while, so he could only let him carry him back to the wooden house.
But when he lifted him to the bed, he pressed down heavily, but all of a sudden, he just knocked his chin on his shoulder, and slowly fell asleep.
And Huo Feng's mind was even more chaotic, he slightly raised his eyes to look at the shining moonlight cast by the window lattice, and was extremely confused in his heart.
Half a moment later, there were some footsteps.
Someone stepped into the room and reached out to remove Situ Hengnan who was pressing on Huo Feng.
"Cousin." Huo Feng called out in embarrassment.
Huo Ling saw that his clothes were wrinkled and his face was flushed, and he saw Situ Hengnan who was unconscious on the bed, so he snorted heavily.
"This is an urgent letter from the imperial city." Huo Ling reached out and handed over a letter.
Huo Feng took it, and the letter was written "Designed from Hengnan". He knew the wax and seal on it, and it was unique to the General's Mansion.
"Master has received the news that the Alliance of All Clans in the North has been established, and the border is in danger." Huo Ling frowned, alluding to what might be mentioned in the letter.
When Huo Feng heard this, he looked worriedly at Situ Hengnan who was sleeping soundly.
"Xiaofeng, the General's Mansion has indeed been kind to you for so many years." Huo Ling sighed, "I think this kid treats you... very special, but in the future, I can't owe you any more favors from the General's Mansion."
"En." Huo Feng nodded solemnly.
Huo Ling took out another delicate porcelain bottle and said, "There have been a lot of mosquitoes recently, so sprinkle some around to drive them away."
3 When Situ Hengnan woke up, he only felt that the back of his head was swollen, and his whole body was exhausted. He shook his head a few times before recalling some scattered fragments of last night.
Slapping himself hard on the face, Situ Hengnan hurriedly straightened his clothes.When I got up, I found a bowl of hangover soup and two letters on the table in Mushe.Situ opened one of them first, and found that it was a letter sent by Myolie not long after he left home.And the other one was printed with his father's private seal and the special wax pattern of the General's Mansion.
The content mentioned above made him wake up even more.
The northern tribes, headed by the Beitu tribe, formed an alliance again, and they were about to break through the outer defense line of the Central Plains, and the smoke of a war was ignited again.
The northern battlefield is calling for him.
He pushed the door and went out, wanting to find Huo Feng's figure.
But there is no him in the dormitory.
People on the road said they hadn't seen him.
The children in the school also said that they hadn't met Huo Feng since a few days ago.
Did he go back to the general's mansion first?Situ Hengnan thought.
No, he must still be here, but he cannot be found.It was probably because Huo Feng didn't want to see him again.
What did he do yesterday.
"Zixin!"
"Zixin!"
He ran to the top of the mountain in one breath, and shouted into the distance somewhat at a loss.
Only a few echoes were answered, nothing else.
Situ Hengnan breathed a sigh of relief, staggered back a few steps, looked at the distant mountains again, hurried down the mountain, and wrote a farewell letter in the wooden house, with a trembling handwriting.
Kaifeng was already waiting for him at the intersection, with a bag of broken silver and a water bottle hanging on his body.
He stepped onto Kaifeng with one leap, holding the rein in his hand, but he was too late to go.
"Zixin, I know you are here." Situ Hengnan said loudly, "You will return to the imperial city, right? If you don't return, wait for my triumphant return!"
"Zixin!" Situ shouted again, "The General's Mansion will always be your home!"
Situ immediately picked up the reins, his last eyes lingered on the mountains and rivers not far away, and he walked quickly with Kaifeng.
"Xiaofeng, don't look, he's gone far away." Huo Ling leaned against a big tree and yawned.
"Cousin." Huo Feng's face returned to his usual calm, "Last night..."
"I saw that kid paralyzed on top of you from a distance." Huo Ling frowned and thought again, "What did he say?"
Seeing that Huo Feng's face turned sad again, Huo Ling said, "Forget it, Xiaofeng, he has his general way, and we have our peaceful days."
Huo Ling then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master is leaving again, Xiaofeng, the filial piety period will be over in a few days, let's make some preparations and continue our journey."
Huo Feng glanced at the direction where Situ Hengnan Juechen was going, and then turned around and said hello in a low voice.
☆, return to the city
1 When Huo Feng woke up, it was already dawn.Thinking of some youthful things in the dream, Huo Feng slowly laughed.
Soon after, Captain Wu and Captain Li, who took the lead, reported
