Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 157 Yellow Smoke Billows to Cover Love and Enmity (1)
The two of them carefully helped Ye Guming to the bed. Ma Huilan took off his boots and said angrily: "Then can't you practice some martial arts less? I don't want you to go to the battlefield to fight. Even if you are the best in the world, you will be the best in the world."
What can I do?" As she said that, she gave Ye Guming a resentful look.
Toto stood aside and giggled without thinking: "Ye Bo is so good at Kung Fu. We brothers all admire his score. How can we say it is wasted?"
Ma Huilan glanced at him sideways and scolded: "You young people are so energetic that it doesn't matter if you practice martial arts day and night. He is now the age when it is time to take care of himself. How can he still be so careless about his body like a young man!"
Toto was so criticized that he blushed and was at a loss. He just said: "Uncle Ye, Mrs. Ye, if you are all right, I will leave first!"
Ye Guming gave Toto an apologetic smile: "Toto, thank you for sending me here. There's nothing going on here. You can go back and rest as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Toto immediately ran out of the house like flying.
As soon as Totuo went out, Ye Guming persuaded him softly: "Look, if you are angry in your heart, just come to me. Why bother with Totuo? You know that his brain is not working well, how can you understand these truths?"
?』
Ma Huilan covered him with a quilt, poured another glass of wine, and handed it to him: "That's all, I won't talk about you anymore. Anyway, you can't change it. Take a few sips of hot wine to warm yourself up!"
Ye Guming took the wine and took two sips, then put down the glass and let out a deep sigh.
Ma Huilan was startled, then smiled and teased: "What's wrong? Without Toto by your side, you can't even drink wine?"
Ye Guming patted the injured leg and said regretfully: "Hey, I'm worried. If this leg really has any root disease, what will happen in the future?"
Ma Huilan sat down next to him and comforted her softly: "Don't worry. Elder Yun is taking care of things in the gang. Feng'er can take care of himself when he is older. If your legs are really not as good as before, then just take care of yourself and be a good person in the future."
Just leave the shopkeeper alone!"
Immediately, she hugged Ye Guming's neck and said in a tired voice: "Master, it's getting late, let's rest!"
In this situation, any man who sees his wife being so charming and coy will be fascinated by her and can't help but fall in love with her.
But Ye Guming still thought about the broken leg and muttered: "I never worry about things in the gang. I'm just afraid that if there is a disease in this leg, it will affect my martial arts practice. How about the Ye family's sword skills?"
Shouldn’t we stop here?”
Ma Huilan frowned slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, even if something happens to you, Feng'er and I will take care of you for the rest of your life, so what are you afraid of! But when it comes to practicing, I can't help you!"
With that said, Ma Huilan turned around and walked out of the door.
After a while, she brought a basin of steaming foot-washing water and placed it on the ground beside the bed. Then, she carefully knelt on the ground, took out Ye Guming's feet from the quilt, and slowly placed them in the hot water.
middle.
"How is it? Is the water hot?"
Ye Guming curled up his toes and said with a smile: "It's not hot, it's not hot! Besides, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it would be better if the water is hot."
Ma Huilan smiled knowingly and carefully put the water on his feet.
After soaking for a while, she gently rubbed her feet. Finally, she put his washed feet back into the quilt.
After pouring away the foot-washing water, she came over, took off her clothes, and climbed onto the bed.
Then, she blew out the candle and lay down next to Ye Guming.
The night is deep, the stars are hanging in the sky, the bright moon outside the window is casting golden waves, and the city of Lingzhou is full of light.
There was a warm fire in the room, and Ma Huilan clung to Ye Guming, leaning her head gently on his shoulder.
In the dim spring darkness, Ye Guming's face could not be seen clearly.
Ma Huilan reached out and touched Ye Guming's angular face, thinking about this dull and honest man, who longed for the wife he had married, but had never loved him.
The Ye family's swordsmanship, which he values most, has never been put to use. He doesn't like doing business, but for the sake of brotherhood and livelihood, he has to be trapped here.
Thinking of this, Ma Huilan no longer wanted to complain, for fear of ruining this rare time.
these days
Here, she saw Xiao Yulou's indifference and perfunctoriness, and Elder Yun's obscenity and indecency.
At this moment, she just wants to have a good time with her husband.
Ye Guming's extremely regretful voice came to my ears again: "Cymbidium, you don't know something! I have had no opponent for so many years. Now I can finally meet someone who can compete with me. I am so happy!
But who would have thought that I would actually hurt my leg at this time, I am really unwilling!"
Ma Huilan frowned and sighed sadly: "For so many years, you have been improving your sword skills. But now the world is peaceful and the caravan business is booming. You don't need to fight or fight, but you still practice it.
What to do? Wouldn’t you like to spend more time with me and my son?”
But Ye Guming shook his head and said to himself: "You don't understand. Seeing Totuo's superb sword skills, Gui Lichi must have been practicing hard every day! I am not as talented as him, and I don't have his great achievements.
Only by carrying forward the Ye family's sword skills can we have a chance to compete with him!"
When Gui Lichi was mentioned, Ma Huilan felt filled with sadness and indignation. She couldn't help but snorted: "Okay, what are you doing to bring up Gui Lichi! He is a lonely old man and can only rely on playing sticks to keep his strength! Now you have
Even if you lose your family, don’t you know how to cherish it?”
Ye Guming's eyes lit up and he sighed: "Lan Mei, you don't understand! A hero like Gui Lichi who is upright will naturally not be entangled in the mortal world. I am just a martial artist, how can I be compared with him!"
"
In the darkness, Ma Huilan's eyes turned red for a moment, and she said angrily in her heart: What a great hero who stands upright and will not be hindered by the mortal world! He is just a heartless man who gave up his woman to others with his own hands!
Ye Guming didn't feel her emotions at the moment, and said to himself: "I don't know when Toto will leave. I just hope that my leg will be better before he leaves. If I can compete again, I will be satisfied."
!」
Ma Huilan felt sad in her heart. She stretched out her hand to touch Ye Guming's chest and said softly: "Ye Lang, take a good look at me. Am I getting old and no longer beautiful? Let me take a good look at you too, okay?
Do you have gray hair?"
Ye Guming moved her hand away in confusion, and said with a smile: "We are all old, so what are we afraid of? We will all grow old, and we will all die in the future! If I can leave a unique set for Feng'er before I die,
Only with sword skills can a life be considered wasted!"
Ma Huilan slowly took back her hand, feeling cold in her heart, and said calmly: "Feng'er is your son, not your apprentice. You should worry about whether he is healthy and whether his marriage is satisfactory. What's the use of just relying on kung fu?"
Ye Guming laughed and said: "You are so benevolent as a woman! Once a man has a lot of abilities, when he is older, he can protect his family and country, and when he is younger, he can strengthen his body! Besides, beauties have loved heroes since ancient times.
, which girl doesn’t like a man with martial arts skills!”
When Ma Huilan heard this, she felt extremely harsh.
She was lost in thought for a long time, then slowly turned her body to the other side, and then swallowed: "How do you know the kind of man a woman loves? If it were me, I would rather choose someone who knows me and loves me.
Choose the kind of big hero who can be seen but cannot be touched. I never want to live like this again!"
At this point, she stopped and stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from her face.
Suddenly, she heard a steady snore coming from behind, and an unknown anger arose in Ma Huilan's heart.
She turned around suddenly, stared at the sleeping person on the bed, and pushed him hard, but got no response.
Ma Huilan sat up and sat blankly in the darkness for a long time. Her eyes were dull, as if she was lost. The tears on her face gradually dried, and her expression turned numb.
At this time, the autumn wind suddenly rose outside the house, blowing away the smoke in the city and sweeping away the mist in the mountains. The windows were also rustling. A small and thief-minded figure stood outside the window for a long time.
He poked his head and eavesdropped for a while, mistakenly thinking that Elder Yun and Ma Huilan were still in the room, so he cursed: "Shameless shoes, you bully my mother, and seduce an old pervert, I will teach you to suffer a lot tonight!"
The person who said this was Niu Xiaoyi, who had just had a conflict with Ma Huilan in the morning.
Immediately, he ran away in a flash.
After a while, he staggered over with a bundle of straw in his arms. After going back and forth like this several times, he would almost
Bales of straw were piled under the window, surrounding Ma Huilan's house.
After the arrangement was completed, Niu Xiaoyi pulled up his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his head, and took out the fire fold.
He gritted his teeth and looked at the dark window, threw the fire stick on the haystack without hesitation, and quickly ran to hide behind the tree.
A burst of green smoke slowly rose, and soon the straw started to burn.
Niu Xiaoyi leaned out and saw the raging fire. He immediately clapped his hands excitedly and shouted: "Okay! Great! Broken shoes, burn you to death! Burn you to death!"
Suddenly, someone pushed him in the back. Niu Xiaoyi turned around suddenly and saw a tall and broad man standing behind him.
The night was as dark as pitch black, and Niu Xiaoyi couldn't see the man's face clearly, so he asked impatiently: "Who is it?"
The man came out of the darkness and slowly approached him. Under the pale moonlight, his face gradually became clearer.
Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Niu Xiaoyi's face turned pale as a sheet. Just as he was about to shout loudly, his neck hurt, and his vision went dark before he fainted.
The man picked up Niu Xiaoyi, ran to Ma Huilan's window, knocked on it gently, and shouted in a low voice: "There's a fire, run away!" After saying that, he quickly left under the night.
Within a moment, Ma Huilan, disheveled, opened the door in panic.
Seeing the raging fire, it was about to surround the entire house. She raised her feet and was about to step out, when she immediately looked back and saw Ye Guming, who was sleeping soundly on the bed without knowing it.
Ma Huilan hesitated for a moment, holding the door frame tightly with her hands, one foot outside the door and one foot inside.
She wanted to wake him up and take refuge, but suddenly she remembered the hatred that took away her back then, and her miserable life these years. A star couldn't help but gradually harden:
After all, although I hate him, I can't let him go after being married for so many years.
But if this fire takes away this man, maybe he can usher in a new life!
