Chapter 10 - Hope for the ears and temples to grind

  The two of them ran all the way like this, running thirty or forty miles in one run. They did not dare to run along the main road, for fear that the pursuers would chase after them, but they let their horses run towards the most remote places in the north. Although the black man was a divine horse, he couldn't stand it even if he was riding such a horse and running desperately. It wasn't until it couldn't run at all that Li Xiaomei and Chen Sheng stopped coming. After stopping, Heizi lay on the ground and gasped. Just now, I only saw the lights and fires in the camp, but when I arrived in this wilderness, I saw the faint light of the stars in the sky. Then there is the light refracted in the pupils of the two. The surrounding grass is as smooth as a mirror, and there is no wind. The sudden silence after this galloping and vicious fight made both of them seem to be empty in their hearts. Li Xiaomei sat in the grass with her knees crossed, thinking to herself: Didn't she want to ignore him, why was he rescued from the enemy camp? But the starlight in the sky made her lose this reserve. The starlight seemed to have come to this grassland tens of millions of years ago, just to shine on the two of them tonight. The mountains and rivers are silent, what else can't be let go, and what can't be forgiven?

  The starlight seemed to have cleansed the king's hegemony, the people's livelihood, and the dream of merit in Chen Li's heart little by little.

  He also sat three or four steps away from Li Xiaomei with his knees crossed. After a long time, he sighed softly: "What is this place? "

  Here, it's probably Pingshan Lake, right? Li Xiaomei guessed according to the direction, but she didn't speak. What does it matter where it is? In her eyes and heart, at this time, there was only the starlight and the man sitting under the starlight. She didn't look back, thinking about the man's arm, the man's lips, and the man's nose in her imagination. Somehow, just this imagination gave her a sense of tranquility. What night is it tonight? What night is it tonight? ——Tonight, he was just an ordinary man who had just held her waist, and she was no longer the girl who shouted and showed off her fame. They are just an ordinary pair of young men and women, sitting on an ordinary grassland, escaping with their lives in the midst of crisis and subversion. Under the starlight, in the grass, in the decades of hard time, there can be an opportunity to let go of each other's appearance, and there is only one time when the stars hug their knees.

  The wind was as fine as a wrinkle, and Li Xiaomei put her hair down - is it lighter and softer than this hair or grass? Chen Cheng sighed like a dream: "Grassland, grassland, it turns out that the night of the grassland is like this." "

  The night on the grassland is like this, this life is like this, time is like this, people are like this, and love is like this.

  Chen Xi and Li Xiaomei were also extremely tired. Even if you are an iron-clad person, these days of driving, you should be too tired to bear this night's sacrifice and forget death, right? If it weren't for the fatigue, would they have the opportunity to sit together so quietly as a pair of men and women with such vitality and their own set of desires and demands? The grass was as flat as a lake, and under the stars in a day, I saw the two of them sitting and sitting, not saying anything, but as if they had said everything, until they fell asleep. In her sleep, Li Yongrong vaguely felt that she was sleeping on Chen Cheng's leather robe, and it seemed that a pair of strong arms gently hugged her tired body. That kind of warmth and steadfastness, that kind of usual snuggling, even made her sigh in her sleep. She leaned down slightly, feeling Chen Shi's warm snort. They are a tired man and a woman in the vast grassland. Li Xiaomei only felt that in the past nineteen years, she had never slept so peacefully.

  ——The wind is quiet, and the stars are quiet.

  When the morning light sprinkled on every corner of the grassland, Chen Cheng opened his eyes in the morning light. Being able to wake up to the morning light so calmly makes people feel that life is really good.

  Chen Cheng took a deep breath, and every breath and nose was full of the smell of grass.

  The sun hadn't come out yet, and the sunspot was lying quietly. Li Xiaomei had already gotten up, and there was a pile of burnt firewood beside her, and on the fire was a roasted partridge pierced with branches. The partridge was slightly charred by the fire, and Li Xiaomei took out a small bag of salt from the skirt bag and sprinkled it on the charred and crispy skin, as delicate as the sun. After all, she was still a girl, Chen Sheng smiled in her heart, that is, she remembered to bring a little fine salt when she was fighting, and remembered that she could eat a salty game after fighting. At this time, Li Xiaomei, in his eyes, had a pleasing calmness. He got up and walked gently to the firewood and sat down, there were four partridges in total, Li Xiaomei only ate one, and the remaining three were kept for Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng felt that only by eating it all could he show his most sincere gratitude.

  He was indeed hungry, and after devouring it, three scorched partridges had already reached his stomach. After eating, the sun showed its face slightly in the sky. Li Xiaomei didn't look at him, and said lightly: "You go east, and you can return to Chang'an." I'm going west, I'm going back. "

  Chen Sheng was slightly stunned, and Li Xiaomei continued to say lightly: "There are many herders around here, and you should be able to find the horse soon." I hope that we will not see each other again in this life. "

  In the morning light, she whistled softly, and the sunspot, who had rested his strength, stood up and snorted into her palm. Li Xiaomei scratched its neck affectionately, stood up mindlessly, and stepped onto the saddle with one leg. She didn't look at that man anymore, what else to look at, his hair, eyebrows, and eyes had been engraved in her heart like a knife, and she would have time to think about it, have time to hurt, have time to be annoyed and hateful, and have time to regret it.

  Chen Sheng grabbed her reins. Li Xiaomei Eye Club saw his face with some doubts, only to see a smile on his young face, this was the first time she saw him not only smiling in his eyes, but also with a smile on his face. Li Xiaomei's heart jumped slightly, then she took a breath, suppressed the jump by herself, and wondered, "What are you doing? "

  Chen Xi's lips curled up, his mouth widened, and he smiled with a neat tooth, "Can I still ride a horse with you?" "

  Li Xiaomei looked at his mouth and felt that his mouth was simply an annoying smile, he shouldn't have laughed like this, what right did he have to smile at her like this? She hated him for his good-looking smile in her heart, maybe she hated herself for still thinking his smile was good-looking. The more she hated her heart, the more indifferent she became on the surface, and she was so indifferent that there was no trace of color: "What are you doing, do you want to take my horse to find the horse?" "

  Chen Cheng still grinned and said, "No, I just want to be with you." "

  Li Xiaomei's heart jumped, and Chen Cheng said: "Let's go with you." "

  Li Xiaomei's face bloomed, but Silly Chen Cheng didn't notice the look on her face, and still said calmly: "I still have something to do with your eldest brother." "

  He didn't expect that Li Xiaomei's mouth and eyes would burst out with such a fury all of a sudden, like a storm on the grassland, without warning, Li Xiaomei's indifference and tranquility in the morning disappeared in an instant, and she was replaced by a furious look: "What are you looking for my eldest brother for?" "

  Chen Cheng sighed: "We still have something to talk about in the last batch of grain and grass. "

  Li Xiaomei looked at his face and felt that she had been deceived by him again. I shouldn't and shouldn't believe that this man might say something that makes me happy and looking forward to it in this life! She looked into his eyes, his mouth, his hateful smile, and wished she could knock off his teeth with a palm. But that hand was still holding her reins, and he actually dared to pull her reins, what kind of person did he think of her, thinking that after that arrow was shot, as long as he saved himself once, should he give him any gratitude? Li Xiaomei even hated the good face she had given him early in the morning, and the three partridges——

  She was hungry and shamelessly left him three partridges, and when she thought of this, Li Xiaomei was so ashamed that her stomach was about to grow teeth. The hunger that didn't eat enough in the morning, the smile on Chen Cheng's face, and what kind of food and grass he had, all churned in Li Xiaomei's heart. Chen Xi is the kind of man who is the most confused and confused about the girl's mentality, and he didn't expect Li Xiaomei's instant psychological changes, let alone that Li Xiaomei would grab him with a palm. This palm almost blinded him, he only flashed subconsciously, Li Xiaomei shot quickly, and the palm slapped Chen Cheng's neck heavily, immediately beating the right half of his neck red. Li Xiaomei shouted: "Get out of the way! "

  Chen Sheng was still holding on to her reins, and it was not easy to care about her, and he was still saying: "Little sister, don't mess around, this is business!" "

  Li Xiaomei looked at him hatefully, wishing she could cut him a thousand times! This sentence: "Little sister, don't mess around" He also said last night, and it was this sentence that made Li Xiaomei lose all the strength to disobey him and follow him obediently. Although this escape was a natural escape, since Li Xiaomei got up early this morning, she regretted going with him more than once, and was rescued by him for no reason. But thinking of his anxious tone last night, like a lover's pleading, Li Xiaomei's heart would feel soft, feeling that even if the two of them could not have any results, but for that breath, let him save it once. Unexpectedly, he said this sentence again at this time, it was a major event in his world, it turned out that he saved her yesterday was just for the big thing in his heart! Li Xiaomei was so hateful that she felt that she had been deceived by him. Then what did he do to me? This dead man didn't even leave her a single word of tenderness to reminisce, and he had to destroy the last illusion and comfort in her heart to be satisfied. For a while, Li Xiaomei simply hated this man to death. She lifted the reins and said angrily: "Look at your ghosts!" Do you think I'll treat you Tang Wang boys as anything?" You go back and tell him that this grain and grass will be robbed by my brothers and sisters of the Li family, and if he has the ability, he will bring another 30,000 to 50,000 horses, and we will fight on the grassland!" "

  Chen Cheng didn't understand why Li Xiaomei became so furious in an instant. He only subconsciously pulled the horse by his neck, although Heizi was handsome, he was unable to break free from his hands under the urging of Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei was furious, and in a fit of anger, she elbowed his left shoulder. Her trick is called "Elbow Hammer", which is a masterpiece passed down from the Li family, and it is difficult to avoid it.

  Chen Sheng didn't expect Li Xiaomei to do something to him again, she was a woman, and he couldn't fight back, so she was hit by her on the spot with an "ah" sound. Seeing him shrink in pain, a trace of pleasure flashed in Li Xiaomei's heart, and then she remembered that his left shoulder had been injured repeatedly half a month ago, thinking that it was not all healed now. While he withdrew his hand, she had already rushed out with the rider.

  Chen Xi did not give up and chased after him. His "thousand-mile court step" kung fu is really good, and in a short distance, even Heizi can't pull him down. Li Xiaomei waved her riding whip and hit him, Chen Xi was already on guard now, connected with the belt, and sometimes grabbed the whip and used Li Xiaomei's power to gallop forward with the horse. Li Xiaomei never knew how high this man's kung fu was, and only then did she see his strength. I saw that he didn't use all his strength, but he let go of his whip one by one, and sometimes he could even grab the tip of the whip. The more he missed him, the more angry Li Xiaomei became. I saw her indiscriminately pulling the whip at Chen Cheng like rain, and after beating for a long time, Li Xiaomei woke up in anger, and the reason why he had been able to keep up with Heizi's footsteps was really because he caught the tip of the whip from time to time and borrowed his own strength. Thinking of this, Li Xiaomei whipped hard again, Chen Sheng really stretched out his hand to catch it, but Li Xiaomei was clever this time, the whip seemed to be sharp, but in fact, it came back in a flash, and Chen Sheng caught it empty. He was already good, but when he caught it, his steps slowed down, and he had to pull the tip of the whip to borrow another step, this catch, the breath in his mouth was out of tune for a while, Li Xiaomei clamped his legs again, and the black spot rushed forward like an arrow.

  Seeing that Chen Shan beside her had been left behind, Li Xiaomei's heart was relieved, and she thought angrily: This enemy! She really felt that Chen Cheng was simply the magic star of her life, and she deliberately came to disrupt her stable life. It seems that yesterday was tired from galloping, and for a while he thought that Chen Xiang was left alone in this grassland, and there was no horse, I don't know if he could find a mount for a while.

  Such a big grassland, if there are no horses, it will be a bit miserable. Thinking of this, Li Xiaomei didn't know if she could leave him alone.

  Just thinking about it, she subconsciously asked Heizi to slow down, her heart was tossing and turning, but she heard a voice from behind: "Little sister, are you angry?" "

  Li Xiaomei was shocked, and when she turned around, she saw that Chen Xi's servant was holding the ponytail with one hand, and his body was in the air and landing, and he followed the horse without a hit. He was extremely tired to do this. A wave of anger rose in Li Xiaomei's heart: How about showing your kung fu? The leg in the skirt kicked back, and then kicked at Chen Cheng. The reason why her legs in her skirt came out of her skirt was that there was no warning and did not give the enemy a chance to think about it. Chen Sheng really didn't expect that as soon as he let go, the person fell behind the horse. He was still unwilling, seeing that he was one zhang, two zhang, three or four feet behind, and suddenly performed the peak light skill of eight steps to catch up with Zen, still waiting for a fight.

  Li Xiaomei seemed to know that she was chased by him again this time, and she was afraid that her life would be ruined in the hands of this kid. Without thinking about it, she reached out to her waist and caught an arrow in her quiver, which was the last arrow in her quiver, or the one she had never had a chance to shoot yesterday when she picked up Wei Hualing. I saw her twist her slender waist, open her bow with her backhand, and shoot an arrow at Chen Cheng. She wanted to force the ground to loosen Chen Shi's breath, she knew that Qinggong was the heaviest breath, and once this breath was relaxed, Chen Shi could no longer catch up with herself. Who would have thought that Chen Cheng's eight-step achievement of chasing cicadas at this time was all consumed on the breath, and he was tired for several days, and he had no power to dodge at all. He didn't expect that Li Xiaomei would do this to him, with an "ahhhh", it hit his chest, and he couldn't come up in one breath, and his body, which had just reached the third step, fell flat to the ground.

  In fact, two screams sounded one after another, the second was Li Xiaomei's call, and she didn't expect this to be the result. Chen Shi only felt that his eyes were dark, fortunately, the arrow was not shot deep, it was on the third rib of his right chest, he was about to reach out and pull it out, but he didn't think that the blood and qi of the earth were reversed, he only had time to shout: "This arrow is poisonous", and the person had passed out.

  In the coma, Chen Sheng only felt that the world was spinning, and a girl's voice in his ear cried over and over again: "I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to." The voice was like crying blood. Chen Sheng had the heart to comfort her, but he only felt weak all over his body. I don't know how long it took, he only felt a chill in his chest, as if he had been cut by a knife, and then, something soft stuck to his heart, wriggling one by one, and then fainted again.

  I don't know how long it took, Chen Sheng woke up in the sunset and found that his chest was naked, and a muslin cloth was tied to the wound, which was soft and seemed to have been torn off Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei knelt on the side, her lips still bloody red, as if she had sucked out the poisonous blood for herself just now. Her eyes were full of sunset, and when she saw Chen Sheng wake up, the guilt in her eyes seemed to be deeper than the wound on Chen Shi's chest. Chen Xi only felt so tired and tired, Li Xiaomei held his head on her lap and combed his messy hair with one hand. After the injury, the blood is gentle, Chen Cheng looked at the setting sun in the sky, and he didn't know if this injury would actually make his life better from now on.

  The two were silent for a long time. After a long time, I only heard Chen Sheng whisper: "Little sister, in fact, I regret it, I shouldn't have avoided your arrow that day, and I hid that way, and I hid very unhusbandly." "

  Li Yongrong gently combed his hair and said, "Don't say that." I also regret shooting your arrow. In fact, you are the person I care about the most, why did I injure the person I love the most when I misused the poisoned arrow for the first time in my life? "

  She gently kissed the wound on Chen Cheng's chest: "Don't mention the past, it's all over." I just hate you a little, I have always thought you were so arrogant and strong, and I never thought that I could hurt you too, it turned out that you didn't defend me at all. Let's evenly match. "

  Chen Li gently held her hand, yes, flattened. Looking at the kiss-like iridescent when Xiaguang was attached to the tip of the grass, Chen Cheng only felt that it turned out that this injury was really good, and this draw was really good.
