Chapter 808 Story
"I just think...she likes it here." Tu Yu said.
They met in a chaotic border town.
At that time, she was a female general in fine clothes and riding a fierce horse, and he was a troublemaker in the border town. They were afraid of his ruthlessness and no one dared to provoke him.
He watched as many people laughed at her for being a girl, not believing that a girl could fight, and even spoke foul language to her.
He didn't comment on her, he was just curious about her reaction.
In the end, all those who spoke wildly were severely punished by her.
He didn't know when his eyes fell on her unconsciously.
He subconsciously followed her figure...
For her, the ghostly presence behind her might be troubling.
What Tu Yu didn't expect was that one time when he was surrounded and on the verge of death by others, she would descend from the sky and save him.
Before, his days were muddled, but from that moment on, he seemed to understand why he lived.
From that time on, he became her bodyguard.
He is not a soldier. Soldiers have to kill enemies and defend their country. He is just a guard, her guard, only protecting her safety.
When she was in the border town, she often mentioned Langya Pass.
They sat on the city wall illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun. She sat casually, her red dress fluttering in the wind, and a sword was placed beside her.
She said that Langya Pass was beautiful and peaceful, and could calm people's hearts. When the world was settled and there were no more wars, she would go to Langya Pass to live in seclusion.
He helped her, helped her kill enemies, helped her rule the world, and hoped that she could realize her dream as soon as possible.
It would be even better if... I could take him with me.
In fact, for Tu Yu, the happiest days were the days in the border town.
They competed in swordplay and horse racing. She gave him a peerless sword, and he gave her a Ferghana horse.
They rode their horses together, rushing towards the place where heaven and earth meet...
At that time, he wished so much that they could keep running like this.
However, his happy time was so short.
An imperial decree came down, asking her to enter the palace...
He followed her silently and saw the pain and struggle on her face.
"Miss, don't go back." He, who was always taciturn, pleaded.
She turned her head to look at him, with a sad face: "If I don't go back, what will happen to the Xiao family? What will happen to the world?"
She muttered, "Your Majesty doesn't want the Xiao family to produce a female general, he wants the Xiao family to produce a concubine..."
She seemed to be crying, looking up at the sky. When she looked at him again, there were no traces of tears on her face. It seemed that the tears were just his illusion.
"Tu Yu, just stay here. Don't go to the capital and don't look for me."
After she finished speaking, she left resolutely, leaving only her back.
He stood at the highest point of the city wall, watching her ride away on horseback, like a gust of wind, disappearing on the horizon, disappearing from his life.
When we met again, she was cold and lifeless.
The only thing he could do was to take her back to his favorite Langya Pass and sleep there forever.
She liked the tranquility here, so he would never allow bandits to disturb the peace.
She likes the children here, so when those children are attacked by wild beasts, she will help them.
He also likes this place very much because everyone here remembers her and misses her.
What he didn't expect was that he would encounter an even bigger surprise...
He actually met the young lady's child, what kind of fate is this? !
If the young lady knew that the child was still alive and had started a family, she would definitely be very happy.
"you……"
Tu Yu looked at the tall young man in front of him and didn't know how to call him.
"Uncle Tu, you can just call me A Qing." Wei Qing said.
"Well, Aqing, I'll take you to meet your mother." Tu Yu said.
Wei Qing followed him, and the two of them walked out of the wooden house together.
A heavy rain dispelled the gloom that had been lingering for days, and the sky cleared up with a rainbow hanging in the sky.
Wei Qing turned around and saw his wife and two children running all over the mountains. This place was really nice, no wonder his mother liked it.
Tu Yu led Wei Qing along a path. After a few steps, they came to the edge of a cliff where there was a raised tomb.
Wei Qing looked at the grave, his nose uncontrollably feeling sore and his eyes slightly moist.
That's his mother's grave.
It's very clean, with few weeds, and is well-maintained.
There is another smooth stone next to it.
Wei Qing could imagine that in countless early mornings, countless afternoons when the sun was blazing, and countless evenings when the sun was setting, there was a figure sitting beside the grave, silently accompanying her.
His mother is not lonely.
Wei Qing took a deep breath, and his legs, which had felt very heavy just now, became much lighter, and he walked towards the grave.
On the tombstone, the five words "Deeply Beloved Xiao Shumei" were engraved, carved one by one.
Tu Yu felt a little embarrassed. He had thought no one would come here, as this was a secret he knew, his own little world. So he had boldly declared her his true love and had her name engraved on his tombstone.
Especially since the visitor was the young lady's son, he was very afraid that he would hate him and blame him.
Accuse him of his wishful thinking, accuse him of his stupidity.
Tu Yu remained silent, but didn't dare to look at Wei Qing...
"Uncle Tu, thank you."
"What?" Tu Yu almost couldn't react.
He doesn't blame him?!
"Thank you for accompanying my mother." Wei Qing said.
Tu Yu was stunned for a moment, very surprised, he didn't expect this child to say that...
"She doesn't like the palace. Thank you for taking her out of the palace and back to her favorite place." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing's nose felt sore again.
His mother had no control over her own life, but she finally got what she wanted after her death.
Returning to my favorite place and being with the people I love...
He felt that his mother liked Tu Yu. When his mother was sick, she had called out a name.
At that time, he didn't know who he was reading, but now he thinks it must be the word "Tu Yu".
Wei Qing knelt down in front of his mother's tombstone and kowtowed three times.
Then he stood up and sat down next to his mother's grave.
"Mom, I'm Aqing, I'm here to see you..."
Wei Qing kept talking.
"I've heard a lot about you from Uncle Tu. Mom, you're really amazing."
"You must have been unhappy in the palace, right? It's better here, free and unrestrained, with beautiful scenery..."
"My wife is here too, and she brought your grandson and granddaughter with her. I'll bring them to see you tomorrow. Today, just the two of us will chat."
Wei Qing spoke whatever came to his mind, pouring out his inner thoughts without any logic, just mumbling.
Tu Yu sat aside and listened to his incoherent words.
He thought that if the young lady heard these words, she would definitely be very happy.
Thinking of her happiness, a faint smile appeared on Tu Yu's cold face.
The two sat there until evening before leaving and returning to the cabin.
The bedroom in the wooden house is quite large, and Wei Qing and his group of five can still fit in if they squeeze in.
But Tu Yu has always lived alone, with limited pots and pans, so eating is a problem.
"Uncle Tu, let's have a barbecue tonight," Wei Qing suggested.
Mu Bao's face was full of excitement, and he was the first to respond: "Eat meat~"
Tu Yu had a lot of prey here, some of which were freshly caught, so he pulled them out.
Wei Qing went to clean the prey, and Fourteen set up the fire rack.
Mu Bao ran around and ended up making things worse.
Tang Bao sat quietly beside Tu Yu.
Neither the old nor the young is talkative, and they occasionally say a few words, which makes the atmosphere harmonious.
The sky gradually darkened and the firelight lit up, shining on everyone's body and face, bringing warmth.
