Chapter 161: Heart-moving (Extra 3)
One year later, on the mountain road at the southwest border.
This section of the road is particularly dangerous. The narrowest part is only wide enough for one horse to pass through. Looking up and sideways, you can see the endless lush green forests on the cliffs.
Ahead, rocks occasionally slipped and a horse was frightened. The mountain road was narrow and everyone was panicked.
The cavalry was in chaos.
Xie Yuduo was an expert in horse riding and had walked this route several times. He tried his best to control the horse under his crotch so as not to fall off.
Just as he was stabilizing himself, a horse suddenly rushed towards him from the front, knocking him and his horse over to the bottom of the cliff...
…
When Xie Yuduo woke up from the pain, he found himself floating in a dense forest of leaves and twigs.
No matter how many leaves and twigs there were, they were not enough to support his body. It was his belt that was caught on a thick broken branch and saved his life.
The jade-colored belt I bought from Baihe Town.
In this accident, three people and four horses were thrown off the caravan, and except for him, all of them died on the cliff.
He had two broken ribs and was covered in bruises. After being rescued by the caravan, he was unable to continue his journey, so he stayed alone in the border town to recuperate.
There were few good doctors in the border town, and the medicines prepared there did not seem to be suitable for the physique of people from the Central Plains. It took him several days to gradually recover.
When he was three months old, he was able to get out of bed and walk slowly. Occasionally, he wanted to pick up a pen and write a letter to his family to tell them about his injury. He would stop writing after writing the beginning.
After the accident, he spent a large sum of money and asked someone to send the goods back to Pingshan County. He only told his family that he was going to continue his journey and did not mention his injury.
He felt that there was no need.
Even if my family knew, what would happen? My mother died young, my father was a quiet man, my elder sister married far away, and my younger sister was still young.
There probably isn't anyone in this world who misses him very much.
He doesn't really care about anyone.
He tore the letter into pieces and slowly lay back on the bed. Then he saw the belt that saved his life and remembered the time he bought it last year.
In the small woolen yarn shop in Baihe Town, the younger brother got into a fight with someone and injured his forehead. The girl named Yue'er felt so distressed that she scolded him while wiping the blood and bandaging his forehead.
Such a gentle and wise girl.
Xie Yuduo looked at his body covered with bruises and felt a little self-deprecating. If she saw him like this, she would be so heartbroken.
Hey, that's not right!
We met as strangers, why should the girl feel sorry for me?
Xie Yuduo held the belt that was broken in half, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably unwilling.
If I had gone there more often, and we had exchanged a few words, and we were considered acquaintances, she would have been somewhat moved to see how badly I was injured...
He shook his head. This wasn't good. They'd only met a few times, so they weren't acquaintances.
If their homes were close, if they had known each other since childhood, they would be familiar with each other. Seeing him covered in wounds all day long, she would surely be heartbroken and probably burst into tears...
This wasn't good either. There were differences between men and women, and no matter how badly I was injured, she wouldn't see it if I was wearing clothes.
If only...if only she were her own...
Then she would definitely see it, would definitely be moved, would definitely feel distressed, and might even cry, and then say to herself while crying...
Uh, what would she say? She...she would have to call herself...Yuduo? Or...Erlang? Or...
Husband?
Then her eyes would be filled with tears, flowing down her cheeks, or she would throw herself into his arms while crying, and then he would...
…
Thinking of this, Xie Yuduo suddenly stood up, and felt a tearing sensation on his ribs, and his heart suddenly hurt.
Damn it! I'm a pure and innocent girl. I've only met her twice, and yet someone has been tempted by me like this. I'm really... shameless!
He endured the pain in his heart, drank a few sips of cold tea, and cursed himself for being vulgar.
Even though his mind calmed down a bit, his heart still ached slightly. He endured it for a long time before he fell into a drowsy sleep...
…
His illness healed very quickly, and he recovered in no time. He felt light and energetic, rode his horse home, delivered the goods to the shop, and went back to the east wing of the backyard to rest as usual.
As soon as he opened the door, he felt something was different.
Someone.
He turned around and saw that it was Yue'er.
When she saw Xie Yuduo, she was surprised and happy.
"Husband, you're back!"
His throat was hot and hoarse, and before he could respond, Yue'er rushed over and fell straight on him.
He quickly caught it and held it tightly in his arms.
His body was hard as iron, but she was very fragrant and soft. She smiled with her face up and blamed him softly.
"Husband, why have you been gone for so long? Yue'er missed you so much."
Xie Yuduo couldn't take his eyes off her coquettish look and replied to her in a low voice.
"I miss you too... so much."
The person in his arms smiled like a flower, put her arms around his neck, and acted coquettishly towards him.
"Husband, are you serious?"
He was full of tenderness.
"Really, really."
The person in his arms, with bright eyes and a smile on her cheeks, seemed to want to say something, but he could no longer bear it and lowered his head to kiss her...
…
A crow's cry outside the window suddenly woke Xie Yuduo up.
The night was dark and deep, it turned out to be a dream.
Having just woken up from a dream, he was panting, sweating profusely, and his whole body was burning hot.
But I didn’t dare… lift the quilt.
He held his forehead in frustration.
I am truly shameless and vulgar. I actually... She is only sixteen years old...
After feeling frustrated for a while in the dark night, he suddenly remembered.
She was sixteen years old more than a year ago, so now, she... she should be almost eighteen.
She was eighteen years old and I was twenty-four.
Although she was still six years younger than him, she was indeed an adult.
Xie Yuduo has always been good at mental arithmetic. He counted these simple ages over and over again by pinching his fingers.
When he finally figured it out, he suddenly realized...
No wonder, over the past year or so, he would always think of this stranger girl while on horseback.
It turned out that he wanted to marry her.
A sleepless night.
He lay awake with his eyes open until daybreak, absolutely certain that he was willing.
But they may not be willing.
Moreover, after more than a year, Miss Yue'er might have already gotten married.
Xie Yuduo felt a panic in his heart.
He knew she had been engaged a long time ago, but luckily it was called off! But after calling it off, you could get engaged again. How could such a good girl not be liked?
Anyone who can marry her would be blessed.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought, and deduced several possible scenarios.
If she had not yet been engaged, as soon as he got home, he would find the best matchmaker in Pingshan County and propose marriage on his behalf, and he would make sure that the marriage happened.
If she is already engaged... fortunately, there is still room for maneuver, but it will just take a little more trouble.
But what if she has already married?
…
Then could her husband...
…
Xie Yuduo held his forehead and cursed inwardly, "Shameless, really shameless!"
The journey was long and the horse's back was bumpy, so he had to get well before he could go home.
But why is it taking so long for this broken body to heal?
After taking the medicine well and going for follow-up visits on time, it took another one or two months before I was able to get back on track.
It will take another month or two before we can ride a horse and walk slowly.
This time, Xie Yuduo had an extremely difficult journey home.
He was worried and anxious to get home, but he had to slow down. His ribs beneath the scar on his chest would occasionally ache, tormenting him. But what was even more torturous was...
Every time I dream of her, she smiles and throws herself into my arms... I always...
It's obscene, really obscene!
