C220 Reluctance (2/2)
She smiled and held her son's hand. Seeing Yue Pengju walk in with a flower in his hand, she asked softly. ”Penga, why have you come back so early today?”
He walked in front of her and gently placed the flower on her temple. He said softly, ”Today I was very lucky. As soon as I went up the mountain, I saw a little tiger. Haha.”
She looked at his shoulder. There was a faint trace of blood on the leopard skin, so he didn't mind and smiled. ”It's fine. I was accidentally grabbed by this guy.”
”Abba, let's skin the tiger …”
Today, Abba will teach you how to skin the tiger … Mom will make you some tiger boots... ”
”Alright …”
The child clapped his hands and laughed.
Hua Rong stood up from the chair, and the red flower above her head fell to the ground. She walked a few steps, then another few steps. It was unknown if it was due to her mood or some other reason, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
She walked forward a few more steps until she reached beside the bonfire Yue Pengju had built. Here, she needed to take care of all the tiger meat before storing it again.
Yue Pengju took his knife and was preparing to skin the tiger, trying to teach his son how to do it. Seeing his wife walk over and stand beside him, he first smiled, then almost jumped up: ”You, are you feeling better?”
She smiled and nodded, standing next to him.
The child was also very happy. ”Mother, mother, are you alright? Can you teach me how to shoot arrows in the future? ”
Yue Pengju was overjoyed. He raised his son above his head and said, ”This is great. I'll teach you how to shoot an arrow when Mom has a lot more. Do you know? ”Mom's archery skills are number one in the world …”
”Hehe, stronger than Abba?”
”Of course, he's much more powerful than the Abba …”
”Then can mother shoot tigers as well …”
”Hahaha, wait till mother is fine. Abba will bring you and mother along so that you can personally see mother shoot the tiger.”
”Okay, mom, hurry up and get better …”
Hua Rong held her husband's hand tightly, staring at his happy expression. It was easy for a man to be a hero, but it was easy for him to charge in and fight! But, who could endure such a long period of time?
A short period of vehemence was always touching, but who knew that the small fry of the morning and evening was the true great test of patience and love?
The life of a person, it is rare, ordinary days long.
Even if it was the King Qin or Jin Wushu, if they exchanged places with each other, what could they do? The loud roar resounded through the mountain forests and the King Qin s of the four seas. How could he endure such a long period of loneliness? There was no need to mention the noble Fourth Prince of Jin Guo, as he would definitely not live such a life.
Only Penga!
There was only one Yue Pengju!
Descending from the battlefield filled with bullets and spears, one could tie the tiger and kill the bear after leaving the enemy. One's true colors would not change. This was an unbreakable friendship that she had snuggled up to for many years.
Yue Pengju's voice was gentle: ”Sister Shi Qi, do you like the Tiger Blood Soup tonight?”
She chuckled, ”I like it. I haven't eaten for quite some time.”
When he was completely out of the sight of the houses and the two people, Jin Wushu sat down on a small road behind the forest.
Beside the path was a clear stream that ran down from the mountains ahead. The stream was so clear that one could see the bottom, and it was surrounded by grass.
He pulled out a blade of grass and placed it by his mouth. The already slanting sunlight shone on his face and body, bringing with it a warm and refreshing feeling.
It was a refreshing feeling that he had not felt in a long time.
These days, he was very tired every day. It was fatigue, pain, depression, and even daring to meet people. Today, such a terrifying mood had finally found an outlet to vent. It was as if he had received a sense of comfort and compensation.
For a long time, he could see through the dense forest, as if he could see the two people he was most concerned about in the distance. A lively child, holding his jade-like hand.
There was such a difference between people.
There was even more difference between a woman and a woman.
Why was there a woman like Ye Lvguanyin in this world, and also a woman like Hua Rong?
Why?
He suddenly laughed and tore off the Dongpo towel above his head to spread it on the grass. For the first time, like a young people, he picked the surrounding clusters of wildflowers, filling them to the brim.
He thought of his son, how his son had put so many small flowers in her hair, and what would it be like if he put so many wild flowers on her?
It was a relief that he hadn't felt in a long time.
In his heart, this sort of relaxation was even more necessary than going to the battlefield.
After a long while, he sat up, packed the Dongpo towel up, and stuffed all the flowers around it inside. Then he sprinkled them in the direction of the dense forest and muttered to himself, ”Here you go, Hua Rong, I'll give you everything. You must live well. You must live well. ”
Once they passed the border and entered the black horse, in front of them, Wu Qimai led dozens of guards and waited anxiously.
Upon seeing Fourth Prince, Wu Qimai heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Fourth Prince was in high spirits, he showed a trace of joy on his face. Ever since the incident with the ”green hat”, Jin Wushu had been drunk all day, giving up on himself.
He anxiously asked: ”Fourth Prince, where is Young Master?”
”It's at Hua Rong's place.”
”Ah?” Why didn't the Fourth Prince take him away? Was it Yue Pengju who stopped him? ”
Jin Wushu shook his head, and the smile on his face gradually deepened. ”Your son is doing very well there. And I can go see the kids any time. ”
