auspicious time has come

Chapter 143 It's Rare She Likes It

After thinking about it for a while, Vice General Wang thought of the scene when Hengyu and Mr. Su sneaked to the fish shop that day...

At that time, he felt that this matter was weird, but now he realized that the other party was going to inquire about the whereabouts of Miracle Doctor Bai for the general!

And for the sake of the general, he can disregard his own life!

Very important people need to be saved——

If that person cannot be rescued, she will not live——

Did Painter Ji treat the general so affectionately?

Does she like it that much?
Lieutenant Wang, who was gradually enlightened by the feelings of others, was rarely moved and shocked.

And as stubborn as Deputy General Wang, even if he has such sentiments, as for the mood of the protagonist who was "rather die than save" by Heng Yu, it seems that it is not difficult to guess——

Seeing Xiao Mu looking at him, his eyes were different from before, Heng Yu was flustered for a moment, and forced himself to be calm: "This matter... I can explain it!"

But Yang Fu was terrified when she heard her explanation: "Miss Ji, this... isn't this your exact words! And that day when you touched your neck with a knife, you were covered with blood!"

Hengyu: "...!"

She really thanks!
Although I can understand the other party's fear of being stabbed, it's unnecessary to exaggerate like this!
After all... that "very important person" is here!

In front of Doctor Bai, it's hard to say anything, and Pei Wushuang and the others are also there——

"Aheng, Aheng, who is that person you want to save? You won't have a sweetheart but keep it from us, right?" Pei Wushuang asked extremely curiously.

Gu Tingnan and the others also looked at Hengyu.

Actually, everyone was looking at her.

Doctor Bai, Yang Fu, Xiao Mu, and the deputy general Wang who followed her all night wearing a fence and thought she didn't know, and since Xiao Mu appeared, he has naturally turned from "darkness" to light...

Everyone looked at her eyes and expected reactions differently.

The information everyone knows is also completely different——

And she lied too much, and she had to keep the secret of Xiao Mu's previous poisoning and injury, and she had to take care of Yang Fu's position...

Hengyu smiled bitterly.

Asura field, nothing more than this.

Under the ultimate tugging of one after another eyes, Heng Yu only had to be vague with Pei Wushuang first: "This matter... we will talk about it later."

In Pei Wushuang's eyes, his friend's reaction was a sign of shyness, so he nodded his head in a reasonable manner, with a very considerate smile, and whispered in his friend's ear: "I understand..."

After coping with the challenge of my friend, under Yang Fu's uneasy eyes, Heng Yu turned to Doctor Bai and said, "It was indeed me... that forced Uncle Yang Fu to reveal your whereabouts by death, so it's no wonder Uncle Yang Fu. "

Yang Fu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Doctor Bai with a dry smile, and said clumsily, "Sir, look at this...Miss Ji is also eager to save people, and there is a reason for everything..."

"Okay!" Doctor Bai frowned and looked at him: "Come with me!"

Seeing him turn and leave, Yang Fu anxiously followed.

Doctor Bai walked dozens of steps away before stopping.

Yang Fu couldn't figure out what he was thinking: "Sir, I..."

Doctor Bai glanced behind him, making sure that Xiao Mu and others couldn't see him, and suddenly smiled gratifiedly, and patted Yang Fu on the shoulder: "You guys did a good job!"

If not, how could he have such a comfortable life today?
It's just that there are so many people just now, and Xiaohou is here again, so it's hard for him to act too worthless, isn't he?

"what?"

When Yang Fu was confused, Heng Yu asked Pei Wushuang and the others nonchalantly in order to break the weird atmosphere: "How did you seize the fairy lamp?"

"This, it's a Shangyuan custom in Yingzhou every year. See the ladder frame on the ring. Whoever can climb to the highest place and take down the pill in the mouth of the red bird will get this fairy lamp—— —Here, look, that's the lamp!"

Looking in the direction that Pei Wushuang pointed, Heng Yu was attracted by the lantern hanging on the lamp stand with just one glance: "This is... the Botan lantern?"

"Potan Lantern?" Pei Wushuang took a closer look: "The lottery is different every year... This year's one looks delicate, but what's so special about it?"

"Of course there are." Heng Yu said: "This Botan lantern is also called boneless lantern, which is different from ordinary lanterns in that it does not have a skeleton to support the whole body, and the light holes on the surface of the lantern are all chiseled with needles and knives... just this one bead It will take at least half a year to make the blue lantern, so it really deserves the word "fairy lantern."

She had seen this lamp at the princess's mansion before, and it was a tribute from local officials.

"It took half a year to make this lamp." Pei Wushuang sighed: "These craftsmen are really willing to spend their time..."

"Like it?"

Suddenly there was a questioning sound from her side, Heng Yu turned her head to look, and saw Xiao Mu standing beside her at some point, looking at the lantern.

Hengyu's chaotic mood has calmed down a little. Hearing this, he subconsciously looked at the ladder frame, carefully weighed it, and said with self-knowledge: "It's too high, I'm not good at climbing—"

"..." Xiao Mu turned his head and lowered his eyes to look at her.

Why do you have to climb by yourself?

Can't you just look at the people around you?

As soon as Xiao Mu's words fell in his heart, he heard Pei Wushuang say: "There's no need for you to climb!"

Xiao Mu put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, and when he was about to speak, he heard Pei Wushuang say again: "You, and you, you two help me win the fairy lamp, I want to give it to Ah Heng !"

Xiao Mu: "..."

Not far away, Yin Hai, who was leaning in front of an old willow tree and drinking from a wine bag, saw Pei Wushuang holding a lantern in one hand and commanding a servant with the other, and shook his head with a smile.

"Whoever can win the lantern, I will give you a lot of rewards. If both of you can't grab it, then you won't be allowed to eat tomorrow!" Miss Pei ordered with kindness and majesty.

The two servants didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly rolled up their sleeves. There was already the sound of drums, which meant that the fairy lantern had officially started.

The two hurried to the ring.

Folk making lanterns is based on a word of making noise, which is mainly "music", so the rules are not too strict. It starts with the beating of drums, and there is no need to register on the roster.

"Hurry up!"

After half a cup of tea came down, Pei Wushuang shouted anxiously seeing the two servants gradually falling behind.

It's okay if you don't yell, but after hearing her yell, one of them fell down without stepping on the other.

The bottom of the arena is covered with thick thatch, and the ladder frame becomes narrower from bottom to top, so there will be a buffer when it falls, so it is easy to prevent serious injuries.

Seeing this, Pei Wushuang stamped his feet.

The drum beats became more and more intensive, and Heng Yu's attention was also on the ladder frame. This ladder frame was shaped like a tower, and it became narrower as it went up.

The ladder frame can be climbed on all sides, but among the dozens of people, what she noticed was a dusty figure.

It was a young boy about eleven or twelve years old. He was thin but nimble. When he was climbing up, his feet stepped on the head of the person under him unconsciously, and the person was stepped back. He leaned back and rolled down.

This unlucky guy was another servant sent by Pei Wushuang.

The young boy continued to climb up, stretched his right hand upwards, and grabbed the ankle of the person above him, and with a force, that person also fell down.

There was a burst of drumming, and there was a lot of noise everywhere, and no one noticed his small movements over and over again.

Hengyu saw it, and just watched the excitement.

"what!"

A strong man fell down with a cry, got up and covered his arms and said angrily, "How dare this little bastard bite!"

"Bite?" Some people were discussing around: "Whose child is so ignorant?"

Some people smiled indifferently and said, "What are you fussing about with a child!"

Heng Yu looked up at the young boy, the ones in front of him basically fell down one after another, and the ones behind him were thrown away by him, and he was about to get the alchemy book soon.

"Everyone is so useless!" Pei Wushuang was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up to the ring: "Anyway, I never said that women are not allowed to take the lamp, I will do it myself!"

When Heng Yu smiled and was about to stop him, he grabbed Pei Wushuang's fur coat and hood with one hand, pulled him back, and said helplessly, "Okay, why do you need to be brave?"

Pei Wushuang's eyes lit up when he heard the sound, he immediately turned around, almost jumped up and said, "Why are you here!"

Yin Hai smelled of alcohol, and his eyes were slightly drunk. Seeing her expression, he felt that he couldn't resist. He looked away and said, "This lantern market is indeed very lively..."

Saying that, he strolled away with the wine bag in his hand.

"Wait for me!"

Pei Wushuang immediately followed happily, like a little tail.

Seeing her explaining how to forget friends when seeing sex so thoroughly, Gu Tingnan couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Tsk, it seems that Ah Heng's lantern is hopeless..."

However, at the next moment, there was a sudden "嘿".

Gu Tingnan looked at the black figure in front of Dao Fei in surprise.

So... is that General Xiao?

There were exclamations from all around.

In the eyes of everyone, there was only a figure as light as a swallow, and his movements were smooth and flowing, and he climbed up to the highest point of the ladder frame almost in just a few breaths.

Xiao Mu raised his head slightly, climbed on top of the ladder frame with one hand, and went to fetch the alchemy book with the other hand.

The young boy next to him changed his face when he saw this, seeing that the things he was bound to get were about to be snatched away, he immediately rushed towards Xiao Mu without hesitation.

However, that figure seemed to have anticipated his movements, and easily dodged by turning sideways.

Not to mention that the little boy failed to succeed, he was about to fall straight down.

He has already climbed to the highest point, falling from this height and in such a posture is somewhat dangerous.

The eyes of the four people were mostly focused on the figure that appeared suddenly, and they could clearly see the situation here, and when they saw it, there was a sound of inhalation.

The young boy's face turned white in an instant, and the two sides subconsciously grabbed in the air.

The pain he imagined from the heavy fall did not appear, and his back collar was suddenly grabbed by a hand——

Everyone saw the black figure holding the alchemy book in one hand and the boy in the other, and landed steadily on the ground.

"it is good!"

"What a handsome skill!"

There was a burst of applause from all around.

Lanterns were hung around the arena, and at this time everyone was able to see the young man's appearance clearly, and felt even more astonishing.

Xiao Mu loosened the boy's collar.

The boy's face was ugly, he clenched his teeth and wanted to explode, but when he met Xiao Mu's calm gaze, he shrunk his neck involuntarily and lowered his head.

"Thank you." Xiao Mu handed the alchemy book to Deng Guan who came forward.

"Lang Jun is really quick and extraordinary, but the latecomers have caught up! With such skill, it is not a mere contest to win the lantern. Even if you lead the army to capture the foreign city, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat you!" Deng Guan said. He smiled and saluted first, and praised him a lot.

He didn't recognize Xiao Mu, but his words were a bit misleading.

It was also rare for Xiao Mu to show a smile in front of others: "It's true that the victory is a bit incompetent, only this time, and the next one is not an example—"

While speaking, he turned his eyes to the bottom of the ring and said, "It's rare that she likes it."

There was a lot of noise everywhere, Heng Yu looked at him from a distance, not knowing what he said.

"Looks like Mr. Lang is someone who wants to give a lamp!" The lamp official smiled and offered the fairy lamp: "I wish you all the best."

"Thank you." Xiao Mu took the lamp, walked off the ring, and under the eyes of everyone, came to Heng Yu and handed the lamp.

"Send it to me?" The girl looked at the lantern he handed over, not hiding her joy in her eyes.

Xiao Mu nodded: "Thank you."

Thank you... what gift?

Hengyu's smile froze—thank her for "death to force the genius doctor's whereabouts", thank her for "if he can't save her, she won't live"?

Seeing the girl took over the fairy lamp, there was a heated discussion everywhere.

The handsome and unparalleled young man presented lanterns in public. It seemed that the word "fengyue" could not be escaped in this situation.

Furthermore, that little girl was born with the appearance of a fairy, and the fairy lamp and fairy complement each other even more.The two of them stood there at this moment, pleasing to the eye and unrealistic, as if on the night of the Lantern Festival, the fairy characters in the storybook sneaked out, just to take a look at the world of fireworks.

But not everyone appreciates it——

Sensing a line of sight staring at her closely, Heng Yu turned around and looked over.

It was the boy just now.

He stared at the lamp in her hand unwillingly, his young age had everything written on his face.

"Want this lamp very much?" Heng Yu asked.

The boy was taken aback, met her smiling eyes, and said after a while: "Yes...my aunt is sick and can't go out at home. I want to take this fairy lantern back and show her."

"That's it." Heng Yu smiled.

Seeing her extraordinarily gentle smile, the boy felt hopeful in his heart.

"Then I can't give it to you." The girl still smiled.

"?" The boy was a little embarrassed, feeling that he had been teased, and when he was about to frown and leave, a group of children who were about his size suddenly crowded over.

"This sister, don't trust him, he's a liar!"

"He wants to sell this lamp for silver!"

"He doesn't have a mother at all, his mother died long ago!"

Heng Yu was not surprised to hear that.

She just took a closer look, not to mention that the child's clothes were too short and had holes - no matter how poor the family was, as long as there was a mother, the child would not be allowed to wear clothes with holes.

However, no mother is worse than a mother who is sick.

The boy's eyes were red with anger, but he was blocked by the group of children and couldn't escape.

"His father married a stepmother, so he doesn't feed him and his sister, he often cheats people to eat!" An older child said to Heng Yu as if asking for credit: "He even stole money from the family!"

"I didn't steal it! She was talking nonsense!" The boy clenched his fists.

The children's ridicule, grimaces, and strange stares from others made the boy extremely embarrassed and angry.

Until an exquisite purse suddenly appeared in front of him——

The boy's anger still remained on his face, and he looked at Cuihuai who handed him the purse.

"Our girl gave it, there is some money in it, take it." Cui Huai said with a smile.

The boy was taken aback.

give him?

"Shangyuan Festival, go take my sister to eat a bowl of Yuanxiao." Heng Yu walked two steps closer and whispered to him: "I like this lantern very much, so I won't give it to you."

The hostility in the boy's eyes dissipated, and he looked at her in a daze.

Cui Huai had already stuffed the purse into his hand.

The pouch made of fine silk is extremely soft and heavy in the hand.

Xiao Mu also walked over slowly.

"You're good at it, have you thought about joining the army?"

The boy nodded without thinking: "Of course! I want to be a general in the future and protect my sister!"

Xiao Mu measured his figure with his gaze, and said, "If you still want to after three years, come to Dingbeihou Mansion to look for me."

"Ding...Ding Beihou Mansion?" The boy looked at him with wide eyes: "Who are you?"

Heng Yu glanced at Xiao Mu, smiled knowingly and said, "This is General Xiao, Marquis of Dingbei."

"General Xiao?!" The boy looked at Xiao Mu in disbelief: "You...are you General Xiao? Seriously?!"

At this time, there were also people around who recognized Xiao Mu, confirming his identity.

In the Northland, the word General Xiao is more intimidating than anyone with any identity.

The boy didn't know what to do for a moment, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said, "General Xiao, I want to join the army!"

Xiao Mu looked at the purse in his hand and said, "Three years later, I will use this purse as a token."

The boy raised his head, tears came out, but it was a big smile: "Thank you, General Xiao!"

"Go back, remember to ask your father to cook more delicious food, so that you can grow up quickly so that you can come to General Xiao." Heng Yu said with a smile.

The boy wiped away his tears, nodded with a heavy smile, clutched his purse tightly, turned and walked into the crowd.

The group of children surrounded him, but they didn't taunt him anymore, chasing him and asking questions.

"Is that really General Xiao?"

"...Your father knows, he will definitely not hit you again!"

"Then will you be able to be a general in the future?"

Among the crowd, the boy's back gradually straightened.

Heng Yu withdrew her gaze and said with emotion: "It's still Hou Ye who saves people in the right way..."

The boy's situation at home is obviously not good, but with the title of Marquis of Dingbei, his family will treat him with more respect.

Even if it's just out of profit considerations, it's a good thing if it can change the situation of him and his sister.

"Three years have passed quickly, Lord Hou must remember to fulfill the contract." The two turned and walked forward, Heng Yu said holding the fairy lantern.

There are so many people in this world who need his protection, not just in Yingzhou, not just for three years——

Therefore, he has to live well.

Hearing the meaning behind her words, Xiao Mu said "Yes" seriously: "I will."

He looked at the seemingly endless city of lights.

It's time to release the sky lanterns, and countless sky lanterns in the hands of the people are rising slowly, like stars all over the sky, each of which carries a wish for the future.

The two stopped and looked at the night together in the crowd.

……

After the Lantern Festival, the days go by so fast.

Entering February, happy events continue.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, just after Liu Xun and Gan Miao's wedding, soon came the day when Jiji and Dazhu got married.

In the new house he bought in the south of the city, Heng Yu personally sent the little girl off to get married and got into a sedan chair.

The boy who rode a horse to welcome the bride was wearing a wedding dress, and looked more energetic than ever.

The firecrackers rang again and again, and the hi-red cannon shells exploded everywhere, making the faces of everyone covering their ears tinged with joy.

Hengyu prepared the dowry for Jiji, and carried it out of the house under Cheng Ping's command.

Some of the onlookers hissed softly: "It's just marrying a maid, how could it be such a big deal..."

"What do you know, she doesn't spend a few coins herself! Didn't you hear that even this house was won!"

"That's right..."

There were also people who made Zhang feel wronged: "I also have my share in these dowries!"

"Hahahaha... You should have given up the addiction of marrying your daughter early!"

There was laughter all around, which added to the excitement.

Pei Wushuang also came over early in the morning. At this time, he and Heng Yu watched the welcoming team with gongs and drums leave, and then asked: "Ah Heng, I heard from Sister Gu that you are going back to the capital?"

Hengyu nodded.

Yes, we are going back.

It's time to go back, and to be able to drag it until now, speaking of it, I borrowed Xiao Mu's light——

　It's a very fat chapter, I want to write more and add more, so it's late again, everyone forgive me!
　　(This word count may not be a big deal, but I’ve been really busy recently, and everyone knows that I’ve been writing very slowly, so please don’t be disgusted by adding a little more thought)
