Chapter 40
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and cicadas can already be heard in the afternoon.Moxi was wearing a water-red thin shirt and trousers, sitting in front of the dresser and wearing earrings.Her curly hair, through the skillful hands of the county barber, has been straightened from curly to a schoolgirl-style short hair with ears, and a row of thick bangs have been cut.Now she is very good at grooming herself, the weather is hot, she does not use makeup, she only put a little rouge on her lips, and put on two small pearl earrings.The shirts and trousers are loose and loose, with a section of snow-white arms exposed from the flared sleeves; she no longer wears high-heeled leather shoes, and has changed into a pair of soft embroidered satin shoes. The flowers on the uppers are embroidered by Xiaoyue. They are two big peonies, vivid and dazzling.

Standing up and turning around in front of the mirror, she ran towards the door with brisk steps, almost jumping up and down.She has been pregnant for five or six months, and she still doesn't show her pregnancy.She ran to the yard in three steps and two steps, and she saw Chen Wende standing in the yard smoking.Chen Wende was nagged and scolded by her this morning because he didn't wash his face, brush his teeth or comb his hair, so now he looks pretty good, not only his face is clean and his teeth are white, but also his messy hair has become a mess after Xiao Wu's hands. A very neat cut.In addition, he also changed into a brand new twill military uniform, and his riding boots were also shiny.In the hot weather, he took off his military uniform jacket and threw it to Xiao Wu. All he had left on his upper body was a white shirt. The button of the shirt was unbuttoned, and the hem was tucked into military trousers. The wide leather belt was tightened at the waist, showing his strong waist.

Moxi felt that Chen Wende was really well-dressed, so she couldn't help but smile on her face.Chen Wende raised his head to see her when he heard the sound, and also smiled.When she walked in front of him, he raised his hand and patted the top of her head, "This look is interesting, you've become a little girl."

Mo Xi raised her hand and punched him, "Leave now?"

Chen Wende's big hand slid down the top of her head, slid over her shoulders and arms, and finally took her hand, bowed down and kissed the back of her hand lightly, then raised his eyes and smiled at her: "Go."

Moxi followed Chen Wende out of the city, not for anything else, just to relax and have fun.

There is a large grassland outside Hongcheng County, which can be called a vast grassland in Moxi's eyes.It is not enough to grow crops in this area, but the wild grass grows in a large area, which is a paradise for cattle and sheep.As soon as Chen Wende's army and horses came, the cattle and sheep retreated automatically, and the horses occupied the magpie's nest and stayed there.

Moxi rode a little white horse, and at first she howled in fright, but stopped barking after a few times. When Chen Wende looked at her again, he found that she was able to whip the horse and run around freely. up.

Chen Wende drove his horse to catch up with her, and asked loudly, "Aren't you afraid?"

Moxi walked against the wind, her short hair flew up together, revealing her clear forehead and thick eyebrows, "Don't be afraid, this horse is obedient! Old Chen, there are wild rabbits in the forest over there. You have a gun, shoot them!" Let's just go back and eat!"

When Chen Wende heard this, he reined in the reins on the spot, "Moxi, I'll take you there!"

Within a moment, Moxi got on Chen Wende's tall horse.Chen Wende held the rein in one hand, and covered Moxi's waist with his arm, and grabbed Moxi's hand with the other hand, and Moxi held his pistol in Moxi's hand. The pistol was heavy. Fortunately, Moxi had a handle. It took a lot of strength, otherwise her slender arms would almost be unable to lift under the weight of it.

"Hold hard!" Chen Wende rushed into the woods on the edge of the grassland, while supporting Moxi's wrist and shouted loudly: "Pull the trigger...you don't need to aim, just put your fingers down!"

Moxi closed her eyes nervously, gritted her teeth, and pulled the trigger.An ear-shattering crisp sound suddenly alarmed the wild animals in the forest, and the recoil of the pistol made her suddenly lean back.

Chen Wende's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Moxi's little hand, "Stupid, don't shake it!"

Moxi nimbly slammed her shoulder back, hitting Chen Wende's chest, "You're an idiot, this thing is so powerful!"

Then she looked forward, "I was shocked in vain, I didn't hit anything!" Then she bumped Chen Wende back with her shoulder, "Leave me alone this time, let me shoot a bird myself!"

Chen Wende reined in the horse, lowered his head and sniffed her hair, "Then I have to teach you to aim first."

Moxi shook her head, "You don't need to learn, I used to use a slingshot when I was a child, and I hit sparrows with accuracy."

Chen Wende didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is not the same thing—"

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, and at the same time subconsciously frowned, and a layer of chills stood on his back.Why did you suddenly stop talking while talking?He couldn't explain clearly, he just had a sudden feeling that there was something deep in the surrounding vegetation.There were rustling noises one after another, but, according to his judgment, it was definitely not the wind.

Opening his mouth slightly, he bit Moxi's hair while realizing that he was alone at the moment.All his guards were left by him on the vast pasture outside the forest, and the commander took his wife into the forest. With the cleverness and winks of the guards, he would never and would not dare to follow them without authorization.

"Moxi..." He let out a soft voice like a draft, "Shut up, let's go."

Hearing that his tone was wrong, Moxi subconsciously wanted to look back at him, but at this moment, Chen Wende shook the reins and at the same time let out a low voice.The war horse under his crotch had followed him through countless battlefields, and he had already become human. At this time, he followed his command and turned around.

At the same time, gunshots rang out!
The guns were random, firing from all directions.But before the first gunshot broke out, Chen Wende had already bent down deeply, and pressed Moxi in his arms onto the horse's back.Holding the rein with one hand, the other fumbled behind his back. He wanted to touch a pistol hanging on his back during the violent horseback jolt—Moxi's right hand holding the gun was caught by her in a panic. It was pressed into my arms, and I couldn't get it out for a while!
However, before he could open the holster of the pistol on his back waist, Moxi forcibly pulled out his right hand from between the chest and the horse's back.She didn't know exactly what happened, she only knew that there were people ambushing in the woods, more than one person, just to kill Chen Wende and her.Without thinking, she stretched out her right arm horizontally, and without thinking about it, she directly pulled the trigger.

She fired a shot, turned the gun, and fired in a semicircle with sparse firepower. She didn't know if she hit someone, but she only knew that she couldn't sit still, even if she was going to die, she had to scare the enemy before she died.After pulling the trigger several times in a row, she found that the gun was out of bullets.

At this moment, she clenched the fingers of her left hand subconsciously, and it was Chen Wende who stuffed the reins of the war horse into her hand.While holding the gun in his left hand to fight back, Chen Wende freed his right hand and took out a new magazine from his waist.The magazine was caught between his fingers, and he stretched out his arm to touch the empty gun in Moxi's right hand.He changed the magazine three times and five times, and he pulled the bolt of the gun conveniently, loading the bullet for Mo Xi, "Continue!"

Moxi had been holding the pistol tightly all the time, and now that she had received an order, she immediately continued to pull the trigger.The war horse below him neighed suddenly, and one of the horse's legs bent downward.Chen Wende was anxious, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and shouted at the same time: "Man, don't lie down!"

The war horse swayed upwards, then staggered and continued to charge forward.Moxi pressed her chest and belly completely against the horse, while holding the rein tightly with her left hand, her body rose and fell with the horse's pace—it had to be done like this, otherwise, with the crazy running style of the horse, she and the horse would have to be separated. Chen Wende can't shake it off together!

At this moment, there was movement ahead, and it was Chen Wende's guards who rushed over upon hearing the sound.The war horse broke through the defense line of the guards, and rushed straight forward into the pasture like madness. After running out of control for tens of meters, it staggered and fell to its knees.

Moxi put her hands on the horse's back and straightened her waist, panting and looking down, only to find that the horse's body was covered in blood, she held the pistol and looked back, she screamed because she saw Chen Wende's pale face It was also full of blood.

"Old Chen!" She scrambled and threw the gun and got off the horse, reaching out to help Chen Wende, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Chen Wende pushed her hand away, and got off the horse panting.The adjutants and guards who stayed on the pasture surrounded them, chattering about mobilizing the team and calling the military doctor, but Chen Wende gasped for a few breaths with red eyes, and then shouted hysterically: "Go! Assassins! If one escapes, I will kill ten of you!"

Then he stared, and slowly turned to Moxi.

His expression at this moment was very ferocious and weird, his two eyeballs seemed to be stared out of their sockets by him, and the white shirt stained with a lot of blood turned red and white.

"Little girl." He said softly, "You are quite courageous, and you have good marksmanship."

Mo Xi was taken aback, "Did I hit someone?"

Chen Wende sneered, his legs and shoulders were trembling.Trembling, he turned to the people in front of him, his voice was a little lower this time, "The forest is not too big, so I immediately dispatched troops to surround it. If the assassins don't come out, they will set fire to the mountain!"

Then he bent his left knee and knelt on the grass involuntarily.

An hour later, Chen Wende returned to his home in Hongcheng County.

The military doctor tidied him up from head to toe, and also performed a minor operation on him—a bullet was shot into his left calf, and the bullet could not be removed without cutting the flesh.

In addition, his right shoulder and left arm were also rubbed by stray bullets respectively, and he was not seriously injured, only two pieces of flesh were rubbed off.But the two flesh wounds were bleeding a lot, and when I took off my shirt, I saw a bloody scene.

As if he didn't know the pain, he didn't yell or scold or pay attention to others from the beginning to the end.It wasn't until the military doctor and others had left that he sat up and turned to Moxi, and asked thoughtfully, "Are those assassins sent by Wan Jiagui?"

Moxi also changed her clothes and washed her head and face. When she was in danger, she was tightly covered by Chen Wende. Except for a piece of oily skin on the back of her right hand being scratched by the saddle, she was fine.Sitting cleanly by the bed, she felt something was wrong, "What do you mean? You think I know those assassins?"

Chen Wende gave a strange laugh, "That forest, but you let me in!"

When Moxi heard this, she immediately became angry, but she suppressed it and didn't attack it. She smiled tit-for-tat, "It's your idea to go out of town and ride a horse."

Chen Wende looked at Moxi for a long time, the strange smile on his face gradually receded, and his eyes changed from sharp to pitiful.Poking his head slightly forward, he asked again seriously: "I really don't know you?"

The more he asked, the angrier Moxi became.Huo Ran got up and walked in front of Chen Wende, she raised her hand high and slapped him on the face!
