His voice was drowned in the heavy rain.
No matter how he called, Xuanping Hou's figure disappeared in the rain.
At this moment, Xiao Heng's strength was finally exhausted. He sat down in the puddle beside the official road. The torrential rain hit his back mercilessly.
He pinched the stone by the side of the road.
The rain was cold, falling into his eyes and coming out again, but it became very hot.
He failed to stop him in the end.
He left anyway.
It turns out that some people, some things, once missed, there is really no chance.
It's not that he didn't cherish his son, but that he didn't cherish his father.
He never had a chance to call him father again.
"What did you just call me?"
A familiar voice suddenly rang in the top of his head. Xiao Heng was shocked. He thought he had heard wrong, but he still raised his head.
He saw Xuanping wearing a coir raincoat and a hat, riding on a high horse that had accompanied him in all directions.
Xuanping Hou looked at him immediately and asked again, "what did you just call me?"
Xiao Heng picked up the hand tightly pressed in the puddle, and his heart began to shine. His grief and regret stopped suddenly. He turned his face and hummed: "nothing... Nothing."
"Nothing. I'll go." Xuanping Hou said, pulling the reins to turn the horse in a direction.
"Father, father!"
Xiao Heng gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.
Xuanping Hou turned the horse around and looked at his son: "I chased him for hundreds of miles just to call me dad."
"It's 103 Li."
Not a few hundred miles.
Xiao Heng corrects him rigorously and chagrinously.
Xuanping Hou smiles a little bit. He bends over and reaches out his hand to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng was so tired that he couldn't stand up now.
There was still strength to raise his hand, but Xiao Heng didn't want to pay attention to him.
Marquis Xuanping has a thick skin. His son doesn't care about him. He can care about his son. Besides, his son just called his father. How lovely.
Xuanping directly grabbed Xiao Heng's arm and dragged him to the carriage. Even if he was injured, his martial arts were still enough to carry a big man.
Father and son ride on the same bike, Xiao Heng sits in the back.
At this moment, the father and the son really recognized each other.
Xuanping Marquis was in a good mood, and his lips didn't press down: "I'm going to kill someone. Are you with me or do I send you to the next village to avoid?"
Xiao Heng Hu's body is shocked, you will pull me when you die! How much hatred do you have with your own son!
"I can't go." Xiao Heng is in the right way.
"I don't want people to know that I killed them." Xuanping Marquis did not deliberately mention who he was going to kill, because he guessed that his son should know, otherwise he would not pursue the fiefdom of King Liang.
Xiao Heng said: "it's not this. There will be landslides and debris flow in front of us soon. The whole official road in front of us, including the village at the bottom, will be buried by the collapsed mountains and debris flow."
"Who did you listen to?" Xuanping asked
Xiao Heng's face did not change and said, "I'm an imperial official. I'm familiar with geography, and I know how to watch stars at night."
Xuanping Hou said with a smile: "watching the stars at night? Isn't that qintianjian's business? "
"I will, too." Xiao Heng said in a big voice.
Xuanping Hou laughed: "my son is really powerful."
This is obviously the tone of coaxing children.
Xiao Heng understood that he didn't take it too seriously. It wasn't that he didn't believe in himself, but that he believed that he could break through.
The worst part of this natural disaster is that it comes almost without warning. When the mountain begins to slide, half of the mountain actually collapses from the inside.
Xiao Heng said solemnly, "if I say no, no!"
Xuanping Marquis slightly back, helplessly said: "aheng, don't make trouble."
Xiao Heng said: "I'm injured. I can't ride or get wet!"
Xuanping Hou looked at the village below, Xiao Heng said: "the people in the village have already evacuated, there is no doctor."
Xuanping Marquis finally defeated: "OK, I'll take you to the post station first."
He remembered that there was a small post station ten miles back.
Xiao Heng secretly calculated the speed and distance in his heart. When he got there, he should be able to avoid the landslide.
He didn't object.
Xuanping Hou rode back with his son.
It's worthy of being a marquis Wu's horse. Other horses are too scared to move. It's not hard for him to take more people with him.
The last time Xiao Heng sat on Xuanping Marquis's horse was when he was a child. He sat in front of him and his little body was hugged by Xuanping marquis.
Marquis Xuanping thinks that crouching tiger has no circle. He is a tiger and his son must be a tiger!
The horse was taller than a man. Poor Xiao Heng, when he was riding for the first time, he was shocked to doubt his life and cried!
Or Xinyang princess arrived in time to save Xiao Heng from the horse, since then Xiao Heng no longer dare to ride.
"When did you learn to ride? In those years of folk life? " Xuanping asked.
This is the first time that the father and son mentioned the events of those years seriously. Xuanping Marquis asked, but Xiao Heng never gave him a response.
Tonight, he responded, "well, I learned from big brother."
Xuanping said: "your elder brother..."
Speaking of this, he stopped.
Xiao Heng said in a low voice, "it's Xiao su."
Xuanping Hou frowned: "isn't he Cheng? Call... Cheng... Dog egg again? "
"Dog egg is a nickname." Xiao Heng said, "I changed my surname."
Chen yunniang changed it. After Cheng Su's father died, Cheng's family came to take Cheng Su to his uncle's house to raise him. His uncle's house had no son.
Chen yunniang is reluctant to leave her mother, and Cheng Su is unwilling to leave her mother, so the family severs the relationship.
After a while, Xuanping Hou suddenly said, "I'm sorry about that."
Xuanpinghou is a cheeky ancestor, but it doesn't mean that he can say anything at will.
There is an awkward side to his nature, but ordinary things can't trigger his awkward side.
Xiao Heng didn't ask him whether the year he said refers to the year when he was born or the year when Xiao LIULANG had an accident.
Some window paper can be pierced, but some don't have to. Just know each other.
Xuanping Hou said: "you hold fast, I want to speed up, don't fall down for a while."
"I'm not -- ah --"
In the middle of Xiao Heng's words, Xuanping Hou fiercely clamped the horse's belly. The horse understood and ran forward quickly.
Xiao Heng suddenly fell back and was almost thrown out. He almost instinctively hugged Xuanping Hou's waist.
Where Xiao Heng couldn't see, Xuanping raised his eyebrows and laughed!
"Wait a minute." His smile suddenly stopped, he pulled the reins, and the horse stopped smartly.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Heng asked.
"Do you hear me?" Xuanping Hou frowned and asked.
"What do you hear?" Xiao Heng's voice suddenly stopped. "It seems that there is a baby crying."
Xuanping Hou turned to look: "in that village!"
Isn't the village evacuated?
He didn't hear the cry when he just ran over.
"There was a child." Xuanping Hou listened for a while and confirmed that he had heard right, "you go first."
He rolled over and dismounted.
He didn't care about the natural disaster when he went to the official road. It was his son's turn. He believed in the power of natural disaster again.
"Riding is faster!" Xiao Heng said.
"Do you have time?" Xuanping asked.
"If you can find it quickly, there will be." Xiao Heng said.
"OK, sit down." Xuanping Hou Mou Guang a Lin, pull tight rein, turn direction, toward the village below gallop away.
Unexpectedly, when they entered the village, the cry disappeared again.
Xiao Heng said, "the child must be tired of crying. He cried for a while and stopped for a while. I didn't hear anything when I just passed by the village."
Xuanping got off his horse.
Father and son searched door to door. When Xuanping Marquis found the bedroom of the 18th family, Xiao Heng yelled at the mouth of the backyard: "here it is!"
Xuanping went to the backyard quickly.
This is a dry well. The wellhead is covered, but it is not sealed. It can be turned over. The child should climb up the well cover and step on it.
Well covers cover up most of the rain, but some of it still flows into the dry well.
Xiao Heng went to the house to find an oil paper umbrella and put it on the well. Marquis Xuanping removed the cover of the well. He planned to go down the well to save people, but found that the wellhead was too narrow for him to go down.
Xiao Heng was still a young man, happy and thin, but he could barely get through.
"I'll go down." Xiao Heng said.
Xuanping Hou took a rope from the saddle, one end tied to his son's waist, the other end wrapped around his waist.
Xiao Heng opened his mouth: "your waist injury..."
"Go down." Xuanping said.
The child's cry and breath have been very weak, no one knows how long he stayed at the bottom of the well, let alone fell from such a high place.
Xiao Heng moved his eyes from his waist and sat down on the well head. But as soon as he swung one leg into the well, a cat's cry came from the bottom of the well.
Xiao Heng's hair is up!
Xuanping Hou's look became dignified. He looked at his son steadily: "ah Heng."
Xiao Heng's legs began to shake. He was not afraid of snakes, but he was afraid of cats.
If a few years ago, Marquis Xuanping would have said to him, you are my son of Marquis Xuanping. Don't you even have the courage?
But he didn't say that tonight.
He said, "you come down, I'll think of another way."
There's no other way. It's too late.
Now, the child must be rescued immediately, or they will either abandon the child or die with the child.
Xiao Heng grasped the rope in front of him, gritted his teeth and jumped down resolutely!
It was this seemingly ordinary jump that made Xuanping Hou's heart boil.
His son has grown up.
I really grew up.
It's not stature or age, but he has really grown into a man of indomitable spirit. He is a young and promising Imperial officer.
He didn't fight to kill the enemy, but he also used his own blood to protect the people of Zhao.
"I've found him. I can go up!"
Xiao Heng's shaking voice came from the bottom of the well.
He was afraid.
But he didn't lose to his own fear.
It's my son!
Xuanping Hou quickly pulled the rope and pulled Xiao Heng and the child up from the bottom of the well.
Xiao Heng's action is very careful. After all, the wellhead is so narrow that if he is not careful, he may scratch the child.
He raised the child high above his head.
Xuanping Hou took the child and put it on the umbrella with one hand and pulled his son up with the other.
And then he found a cat in his son's arms.
Xiao Heng was stiff and pale, like a small sculpture that could not move: "can you take it away quickly?"
Xuanping Hou chuckled, grabbed the cat and put it into the burden hanging on the saddle.
The child's condition is not very good. He has a lot of injuries. We have to go to the doctor as soon as possible.
Xiao Heng found a piece of cloth from the house and carried the child in his arms.
Xuanping Hou was very surprised: "Yo, you still understand, ready to be a father at any time?"
Xiao Heng gave him a white look: "there is a Gu Xiaobao at home."
This child is older than Gu Xiaobao, but he should not be more than one year old. The same way to pocket Gu Xiaobao applies to him.
Father and son, with a child, a horse and a cat, walked towards the official road.
Just as they were about to walk out of the village, a mountain collapsed in front of them. The huge noise started in the dark like thunder, and the ground at the village entrance seemed to feel a shock.
The landslide can't reach the village, but the debris flow caused by the landslide is the disaster of this village.
"Drive!"
Xuanping Hou a fierce drink.
Horse quickly set foot on the official road, and just at this moment, the old banyan tree at the entrance of the village cracked, and the huge tree body pressed down towards them!
At the critical moment, Marquis Xuanping stepped on the stirrup and jumped up in the air. He put his hands around the strong tree and knocked it away.
The tree was successfully knocked open, but he was also pressed under the tree.
His back injury recurred in an instant, the wounds on his thigh and back were on the verge of breaking out, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Xiao Heng tightened the reins and stopped the horse.
He got off the horse and ran towards him regardless of his sprained right foot.
Xuanping Hou held back the pain and said to Xiao Heng, "let's go."
"Let's go! I'll move the tree Xiao Heng bent down and tried to apologize for the big tree that was stronger than him.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the big tree on Xuanping Marquis did not move.
He took out the rope from the burden hanging on the saddle, one end tied to the tree, the other end tied to the horse, one person and one horse, and tried his best to pull it.
But this tree is too heavy and strong.
Xiao Heng's palms were worn out, and the mottled blood dripped down the rope.
In front of the mountain continued to collapse, Xuanping Hou looked far away, exhausted all his strength and said: "you go first, I slow down for a while, I can push away."
Xiao Heng's eyes were red, and hot liquid burst out of his eyes: "you cheat!"
Xuanping Hou weakly smile: "don't so don't believe your father... Your father is a grade of marquis Wu... So point the tree... A hand is raised..."
Xiao Heng pulled the rope to death, choked and growled: "then you lift it! You raise it
Xuanping Hou diao'er said with a languid smile, "I said I'd like to have a rest... You go first... Don't let the child get drenched... It's not easy to save him from the bottom of the well..."
"I won't go!"
The rope is deep into the flesh and blood of Xiao Heng's palm, but he still can't pull it.
"I regret it!"
"I should go to practice martial arts!"
"I shouldn't go to school! I should have grown up in a military camp! "
"You're right! There's no use in everything. You're a scholar
"I'm useless!"
He cried in despair, and the tears rolled down.
Xuanping Hou's smile disappeared on his face. He looked at Xiao Heng through the heavy rain: "I said that on purpose... I'm your Lao Tzu... I don't know as much as you... I can't face up to you... I always want you to practice martial arts... I'm good at martial arts... You will admire me very much..."
Xiao Heng had never heard of these words. He didn't even think about them.
Pride, like Xiao Ji, has such inferiority.
Maybe I feel that the time is coming. If I don't say something today, I may never have a chance to say it again.
Xuanping Hou slightly tilted his head, so that he could have a better look at himself: "ah Heng, I haven't told you all the time. I'm really sorry to have a son like you... Those old men always boast that their son can do it... Chi... Can my son do it?"
"My son will be able to recite poetry at the age of three... Can their son?"
"My son has been in the imperial college since he was four years old... Can their son?"
"My son is a 13-year-old boy who is offering sacrifices to wine. Are they soldiers' eggs?"
"My son is an 18-year-old new champion, isn't his son?"
"The greatest pride of my life is not the achievement of war, not the title. It's you. You're my proudest son. You've always been. "
Xiao Heng's heart is about to tear.
Xuanping Hou's eyes are hot and he smiles: "it's too late if I don't go. Don't let me sacrifice in vain."
After that, he used his last strength to beat Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng was sent to the horse by his internal force.
Xuanping Hou said to his horse, "take him away."
There was a loud bang, and the last mountain also fell, and the debris flow rolled in from behind.
The horse raised its front hooves and galloped away.
Xuanping Hou looks at his son with a smile, and the debris flow rushes down.
Xiao Heng turned his head and cried out, "no!"
With a loud bang, a tall shadow came from the storm!
