The day when I arrived in northern Xinjiang was a sunny day and the sun was shining brightly.
Along the way, Gu Suier held Xiao Ah Chen and kept leaning against the window to look at the vast wilderness and the clouds floating in the sky.
The clouds here are different from those in Yanjing City. The clouds here are large and large, like large pieces of white cotton wool torn apart. The edges of the clouds of different shapes are dyed with a layer of golden dazzling edges by the sun, looking like pieces of snow jade.
And on the vast unseen field on the ground, there are undulating hills spreading out to the distant surroundings.
It is not like Gujiazhuang where it is full of tree fields and villages, nor is it prosperous like Yanjing City, which is visible by the tentacles. It is empty and remote, like the sky and the earth, without end.
Their carriage and team just walked forward, and in the sound of the bells, Gu Suier almost thought that this road would take a lifetime.
As a result, caught off guard, the carriage stopped.
Gu Suier looked out and saw that there was a small town outside.
The small city on the border is naturally not as prosperous as Yanjing City. The city wall here is a loess wall that has been eroded by the wind for many years. The wall is guarded by guards and dusty flags are flying.
Under the city wall, a group of men and horses, Zhenghou stood there, but headed by a heroic youth, riding on that maroon horse.
When the boy saw them, he rode over.
Gu Suier hadn't recognized it at first, but finally realized that this was his brother Gu Baoer.
It was only half a year away. Now Gu Baoer seems to have jumped a bit more suddenly. At first glance, he seems to be taller than an ordinary adult. He ran up to the front, rolled over and dismounted, with surprise on his face.
"Sister, you finally came!"
Gu Suier was in the dust on the road, and I don't know how long he suffered, but now he finally saw his brother, almost tears in his eyes, and hugged Ah Chen and got out of the carriage.
"Boa, are you all well now? How about your highness, how is your highness' injuries?"
When the little Achen in Gu Suier's arms saw her uncle, he let out a cry of surprise, and then thumped her arms and legs as if she was about to pounce on Gu Baofeng.
Gu Baofeng took the little Achen and hugged him in his arms, and smiled heartily: "Sister, don't worry, okay, your Highness's injury is no longer a serious problem now, just to get a good life and rest!"
Gu Suier heard what her brother said, and saw that he was smiling cheerfully, knowing that it should be fine, so she was a little relieved.
"That's good, then let's go into the city and see your Royal Highness."
"Okay! Sister, get on the carriage first, we will go back now."
Gu Suier had planned to take over Xiao Achen, but Xiao Achen put his arms around his uncle's neck and didn't let go. They had no plan to come back to Gu Suier's arms.
Seeing this, Gu Suier couldn't help but smile: "On his way, he is either talking about uncle or dad."
Gu Baofeng has missed this little nephew these days. Now that he sees his nephew grows more charming and charming, especially now that he is holding his arms around him, it really makes people’s hearts melted. Why don’t you let go: "Sister, I’ll take Ah Chen and ride a horse. You ride in a carriage by yourself. Ah Chen likes riding horses too, doesn’t it?"
Little Achen nodded violently and said loudly, "Uncle, ride a horse!"
Gu Baofeng looked at him like this, and couldn't help rubbing his little head: "Hair has grown a lot, and so is he!"
Little Achen rubbed his head in his palm, happily likes: "Uncle, horse, ride a horse."
After that, the little fat leg tried hard to push the stirrup again, and the two little fat arms were already waving.
"Come on, sit down, uncle will take you on a horse."
Gu Baofeng knew that this little nephew loves riding horses the most, so he took him a step ahead and rode his horse into the city.
Naturally, the defending official knew the little general, so he let it go, letting him go in.
Gu Suier was on the carriage, watching the handsome young man riding a horse, and listening to the excited cheers of the little baby in the wind, and he sighed with satisfaction.
This is finally here.
After entering the city, Gu Suier had no time to see the scene of the city, and then went straight to the bottom of Xiao Heng here.
Originally this place was called Liangcheng, but now both Xiao Heng and Gu Baofeng live in the residence of Liangcheng.
Entering the hall, Gu Suier followed Gu Baofeng to Xiao Heng's residence.
As soon as he stepped in, Xiao Heng fell asleep.
Gu Suier approached gently, but saw that his face was so pale that his skin seemed transparent, and his lips were slightly dry. He used to be cold and handsome, and he could make her shy with just one look, but now he lay there quietly, as if he didn't know the world.
Gu Suier held her breath, squatted on the edge of the kang, carefully raised her hand, and gently touched his cheek.
The cool skin under her hands made her feel a lot of anxiety.
Her hand came to her lips again, rubbing it lightly, and she felt a little warmth.
Fingertips touched the thin lips, stroking a little peeling on them distressedly, and she suddenly remembered the first kiss between them.
It used to be this lip, and the wind blowing from a distance generally touched her lips, making her heart like a lake on the top of the mountain, ripples.
Thinking of the past, she bit her lip, and the hand touching his lips trembled.
Once thought that he was omnipotent, high above, but now lying here fragilely, like a leaf falling from a tree.
She stared stupidly at the pale face, just watching and thinking.
But Xiao Heng's eyelashes trembled lightly, and after slowly opening his eyes, what he saw was Gu Suier's crazy eyes.
At first there was a moment of confusion.
Severely injured, sleeping, the remote border town, Yanjing City's former pink and gentle township was so far away from him that he was in a daze.
Which girl is this, why is she looking at her with so obsessive eyes, why is she touching her lips with such a soft hand?
Why is there moisture in her clear eyes?
After that, the memory returned like a tide.
Xiao Heng's sluggish eyes had a vivid look, and his eyebrows became tender.
"Why... why are you here?" His voice was hoarse, slightly difficult.
"I just arrived today." Gu Suier woke up like a dream, thinking that she was staring at him just now, but she was a little embarrassed, and quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said: "You are badly injured, what did the doctor say? I hear your throat uncomfortable, would you like to drink some water?"
When she said that, she looked at the table next to her, but saw that there was a thick porcelain pot there, which was vaguely hot, like soup?
"Is this for you to drink? I'll serve you some to drink?" She was going to get it right now.
"No need..." Xiao Heng grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Ok?"
Xiao Heng's deep eyes kept staring at her: "Sui'er, sit down."
The voice is still hoarse, but the breath is smoother than before.
"Yeah." She listened to him, sat on the edge of the kang, and held his hand.
His hands are a little cold, I don't know if it is because of the weather here, or because of the coldness of the body.
She held him in her hand, rubbed it lightly, and even wanted to warm him in her arms.
"Are there any copper heaters here? Fortunately, I brought two of them. I will let Guizhi bring them for you later."
"You are injured. What do you usually eat? I brought a variety of supplements this time. I will slowly make them for you."
"Achen is here too, Achen has been talking about you all the way, he thinks you think hard."
"He has grown a lot taller now, but he is still fat."
Gu Suier said differently here, but Xiao Heng didn't say a word, just staring at her quietly.
After a while, Gu Suier stopped talking.
The eyes are facing each other, the room is very quiet, only occasionally can hear the wind outside the window.
The weather in this northern Xinjiang is also strange, the sun is shining brightly, but the wind never stops.
After a long period of silence, Xiao Heng still didn't speak, but he slowly and forcefully held Gu Suier with those big slender hands.
As he lowered his head, Gu Suier saw that his finger bones were still very long, elegant and beautiful, but there was some dry skin on the fingers, and there were heavy calluses on the belly.
Once upon a time, the hands of this noble man were more delicate than hers, but now they are so rough.
Gu Suier lowered her head, desperately holding back the tears in her eyes, she didn't want to cry as soon as she saw him.
"I didn't intend to let you over here." Xiao Heng spoke suddenly.
"Why?" Her voice had a soft nose, and her tone was somewhat unhappy, why not let her come.
"The weather here is bad, cold at night, and very hot during the day."
It's not just the bad weather, the situation here is not good, swords, intrigues, and intrigue between several countries are all gathered on such a frontier line.
He was afraid that she would come to suffer.
"Could it be that you can bear it, but I can't?" Gu Suier became more upset, couldn't help but gently squeezed his arm, and muttered softly: "You think I am in the house in Yanjing City every day. I can feel at ease when I eat good food. I keep my diary and worry about it every night. There is no peace of mind."
Now in this frontier, no matter how bad the weather is, no matter how dangerous, as long as she sees him, she feels relieved immediately.
Whether it's suffering or sin or erosion by wind and sand, it's always their family.
When Xiao Heng heard this, his slightly rough finger gently hooked her finger.
Finger hooking, this is the usual intimate action of two people.
"Well, it's okay to come," he said in a dumb voice.
"Yes!" She wanted to laugh and cry, and finally endured, she still said: "Anyway, if you want me to come, I will come too, if you don't want me to come, I will come too! I will not leave if you come. If you drive me away, I won't go!"
Xiao Heng looked at her with a silly look, but there were still faint tears in his eyes, and there was warmth in his eyes for a while.
"Bring that soup over and give it to me."
"Ok!"
She pursed her lips and smiled, and hurried to get the soup, intending to serve him to drink it herself.
