The two of them chatted and soon finished touring the village. Li Zexuan was a little reluctant to part with her.
"Miss Han, where do you usually go to pick wild fruits?" Li Zexuan, who was reluctant to part with her, began to find a topic to talk about.
Han Yuxi pointed to the mountain behind them and said, "It's on that mountain."
Li Zexuan looked in the direction of her finger and saw the dense forest on the small hill. He said,
He said, "Aren't you afraid when you go alone? What if you meet a wild beast like a tiger? "
Han Yuxi smiled and said, "A few years ago, there were indeed some fierce tigers and fierce beasts in this mountain. But during those years, the world was in chaos and the harvest was not good. Many people in the village were starving. My father organized the villagers to go into the mountain to hunt. In the past few years, all the large beasts in the mountain have been hunted."
Li Zexuan heard and said, "Oh, then let's go up the mountain to take a look."
Han Yuxi nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked up the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a few peach blossoms were in full bloom. It was very beautiful. A few butterflies danced in the wild flowers by the roadside. A few birds chased each other and played in the forest on the mountain. Li Zexuan was very happy with the beauty by his side and the beautiful scenery in front of him.
"Miss Han, I have a question, but I don't know if it's appropriate to ask." Li Zexuan asked.
"Young Master, if you have something to say, Yuxi will tell you everything she knows."
Li Zexuan hesitated and said, "Why didn't I see your mother at your house?"
Han Yuxi's face instantly turned pale. Deep sadness flashed in her eyes. Li Zexuan saw this and immediately apologized,
"I'm sorry, Miss Han. I took the liberty. Don't be sad."
Han Yuxi shook her head and was silent for a while before saying, "My mother passed away after giving birth to the Iron Egg. I was seven years old at that time. My father was still fighting in the front line. In order to support my brother, I went to help Master Liu in the nearby Plum Village to herd cattle and sheep. I fed the horses and chopped firewood. When I earned money, I bought goat milk for my brother.
This Master Liu's family was the previous owner of the Han Village. They were very harsh and often bullied the villagers in the village. Everyone was angry but didn't dare to say anything. They were afraid that Landlord Liu wouldn't let them plant the land.
Iron Egg was very naughty when he was young. He would cry whenever I left, so I could only take him to work. Later, when I couldn't hold on any longer, my father finally came back. It was when I was nine years old, which was the sixth year of Wude. My father came back with a limp.
My father, Wu De, joined the army in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he was transferred to Old General Qin's personal guard. In the sixth year of Wude, the Turks attacked the borders of our Great Tang, and my father accompanied General Qin to battle.
Later on, I heard my father say that during a pursuit, General Qin was ambushed by the Turks. The Turks' Great General Ashina Sheerqiu wanted to kill General Qin with a bow and arrow. At the critical moment, my father rushed over on his horse and threw himself at General Qin, but the arrow pierced through my father's thigh.
At that time, he didn't have time to treat his wound. My father limped and followed General Qin to kill the enemy. Coincidentally, General Yuchi led the army to help. My father and General Qin fought their way out of the encirclement and followed the reinforcements to destroy the enemy.
After returning to the camp, although the arrow wound on my father's thigh was healed, because the treatment was too late, his right leg became disabled and it was difficult for him to return to the battlefield. My father knew that General Qin would definitely not abandon him, but my father didn't want to be a burden to General Qin. Thus, he left a letter and secretly came back alone. "
Following Han Yuxi's recollection, Li Zexuan's thoughts also returned to the era where the flames of war raged and human lives were like grass. In his heart, he also admired a tough man like Han Lizheng. Without countless people like Han Lizheng fighting bloody battles, the Great Tang would not have its current peace. Perhaps the Han people's clothes would have been slaughtered by the armored cavalry of the foreign race.
No wonder he saw a Mo Saber in Han Lizheng's house. He didn't expect him to be a respectable soldier of the Great Tang. He also didn't expect Han Yuxi to be so strong on the inside despite her weak appearance. At the age of seven, she raised her infant brother alone. One could imagine the difficulties and hardships she went through.
Li Zexuan saw that Han Yuxi's eyes were still filled with sadness. He couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and said,
"Miss Han, don't be sad. At least you, Iron Egg, and your father are all doing well now. If your mother knew in the netherworld, she would definitely be gratified. Besides, with me around, the people of the Han Family Village will live better and better lives in the future. "
As he spoke, Li Zexuan didn't know how to continue. He wasn't very good at comforting people.
"Pfft!" Seeing Li Zexuan racking his brains to think of words to comfort her, Han Yuxi couldn't help but laugh through her tears. She said, "I just comforted Young Master. I didn't expect Young Master to comfort me again."
Hearing Han Yuxi's words, Li Zexuan thought about it and felt that it was rather interesting. He smiled and said,
"In that case, let's not comfort each other. We'll be happy in the future. This way, we can let the ancestors who love us leave at ease. "
Han Yuxi agreed softly, "Yes."
At this moment, she felt the weight on her shoulder. It turned out that Li Zexuan's hand had been resting on her shoulder. Han Yuxi turned her head to look and immediately blushed.
Li Zexuan followed her gaze and found his hand. He secretly blamed himself for forgetting to take it off when he patted her shoulder to comfort her. Of course, whether it was because he forgot to take it off or because he couldn't bear to take it off at that time, it wasn't for others to know.
Feeling the warmth of his fingertips and smelling the feminine fragrance on Han Yuxi's body, he couldn't help but feel a little restless. However, seeing that the tears at the corner of Han Yuxi's eyes had not dried, Li Zexuan secretly scolded himself for being a beast. He quickly took his hand off and explained awkwardly,
"Sorry, sorry. I wanted to comfort you just now. I didn't mean it."
Han Yuxi's face turned even redder when she heard that. She clenched her small hands and looked down at her toes. She said softly, "It's okay. Yuxi knows that Young Master is not a frivolous person."
The ambiguous atmosphere filled the mountain. Li Zexuan didn't know what to say at this moment. Although he had a girlfriend in his previous life, he met her online. In reality, he was still clumsy when he spoke. He was an out-and-out otaku.
He wasn't like the playboy in his dormitory. When he saw a girl, he could make her happy with just a few words. He couldn't wait to marry her immediately. He had always been envious of his roommate's ability to flirt with girls, but this thing couldn't be envied.
Han Yuxi naturally wouldn't speak. At this moment, her heart was also in a mess. Li Zexuan was tall and handsome. He was also very gentle to her. Although she didn't love Li Zexuan very deeply, after all, they had only been together for a day, she still had a good impression of Li Zexuan.
After a long time, Li Zexuan finally broke the silence and said, "Miss Han, let's go down the mountain. It's getting late. I should go home."
When Han Yuxi heard that, her face darkened slightly. She felt a little disappointed for no reason. She didn't know when they would meet again after parting today. She replied softly, "Okay!"
The two walked down the mountain side by side.
