Chapter 817: When to Return Home

On this day, the officials of Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture held a grand banquet in Taicang to reward all the officers and soldiers who went to the West.

The long banquet really spreads for ten miles, and there are staggered chips everywhere, and the wine and meat are fragrant.

During the banquet, the officers and men, who had been adrift overseas for two years, ate and drank with open arms.

After two years of nervous tension, I didn't dare to slack off, and at this time I could finally relax and get drunk.

However, those officers and soldiers whose families were in Su and Song had no intention of eating or drinking.

Zheng He saw it clearly, at this moment, he didn't care about any false courtesy, after a feast, Zheng He ordered that the fleet be disbanded on the spot, except for some people who responded to Tianfu with him, the rest of the people went back to their respective homes and found their own mothers!

In an instant, the cheers at the scene could be heard even dozens of miles away.

Outside the feast, the pillar's younger brother scratched his ears and cheeks, almost becoming a monkey.

If it weren't for the soldiers of the two provinces, guarding the scene of the banquet, he would probably have to break in.

Finally, seeing that the feast had dispersed, he hurriedly looked left and right.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure and hurriedly shouted, "Brother, brother!"

When the pillar heard his voice, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over.

Zhuzi's younger brother opened his hands and wanted to hug his brother, but he saw his brother dodge, avoided him, and rushed to Cui'er.

He opened his hands and wanted to hug Cui'er, but he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped.

Cui'er blushed, lowered her head, and then raised her head again, looking at him secretly.

I just feel that the man in front of me is so heroic and handsome.

After two years of ocean life, the pillars have become thinner and darker, but they have become more mature.

Suddenly, Zhu Zi turned to look behind him and said, "Lord Zhongjun, this is Cui'er...... I...... Unmarried wife. ”

Cui'er lowered her head shyly, and her face turned even redder.

"I ask Lord Zhong Jun to bless us, let our husband and wife Qin and Ming, raise that and raise eyebrows, anyway, it will be a good ...... for a lifetime"

Only then did Gu Xiaobai know why the pillar dragged him over.

These two people are Gu Xiaobai's personal leaders on the ship, not only responsible for his safety, but also responsible for taking care of his daily life, and they can be regarded as the people who have the most contact with him except Zheng He.

He looked up at the pillar, and the pillar's face was black and red, and now it was even more red and shiny.

Look at Cui'er next to her, Xia Fei's cheeks and a rose blooming in her hair.

At that moment, Gu Xiaobai sighed softly in his heart.

One is to wait at home for two years, thinking about you all day long, and finally looking forward to your return.

One is that I have gone out and seen the world and traveled all over the world, but I still only have you in my heart.

It's just a matter of showing affection between the two of you.

Why let me witness it!

Don't know if I'm still a single dog?

Single dogs are miserable.

Hearing the pillar do this, the pillar's parents were terrified.

My God, this is Zhong Jun, that's a god!

You can't do it!

Gu Xiaobai actually didn't want to give someone else a marriage certificate or anything.

Burn him, burn him!

Burn everything to the present charge!

But when he saw the rose in Cui'er's hair, his heart suddenly softened.

He nodded slightly and said, "I, Zhongjun Gu Xiaobai, will witness the marriage of the two of you today, and I hope that you and your husband will be harmonious and raise their eyebrows......

As he spoke, he raised his head, and in the sky, a huge golden bell appeared.

"Duang—" There was a sound.

Everyone in the neighborhood looked over.

The envoys and officials from afar also stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Duang—" There was another sound.

"Duang—" the third voice.

Gu Xiaobai looked at the two people in front of him again: "Three bells ring, three lives together, after today, you will be husband and wife." ”

The pillar hugged Cui'er excitedly, and countless eyes around him looked over.

Many had a smile in their eyes.

There are many others with anger in their eyes.

Burn, burn them!

Burn the newlyweds!

It's just a matter of showing affection here, and there is even Zhong Jun witnessing marriage!

It's too much!

Gu Xiaobai, who is also a single dog, closed his eyes, raised his head, and held back his tears.

Don't say anything, Gu Xiaobai just wants to sing a "Song of a Single Dog" now.

Then he waved his hand.

Well, you're good to go!

Zhuzi also felt that the situation was a little bad, so he picked up Cui'er and ran away like a wild dog.

Back on the boat, Zheng He smiled and said, "I heard that you gave the pillar a marriage certificate?"

"Please don't say it!" Gu Xiaobai burst into tears.

Zheng He shook his head and smiled, and said, "Today we will rest for a day, tomorrow we will go upstream, and in two days, we will arrive at Yingtianfu, and you can see your sister Zhongjun." ”

In this way, Gu Xiaobai became happy.

When night fell, Gu Xiaobai stood on the boat and looked down, but saw that at this moment, the night had darkened, but there were still people outside who did not leave.

There, there were old and weak women and children, and when they saw people, they grabbed them and asked.

"Have you seen my son, my son's name is Chen Xiudun...... Have you seen it? Have you seen ......it?"

"Have you ever seen my brother, my brother is so tall and has a scar on his face, he ......"

"Please, let me go in and find out...... Please!"

"Who is that?" Gu Xiaobai asked a soldier next to him.

"Back to Lord Zhongjun, that is the parents and family of the comrades who died of illness on this trip......"

Gu Xiaobai frowned and said, "Didn't anyone tell them?"

"No, Deputy Envoy Wang personally urged the local officials to handle this matter, and the local officials also sent someone to personally inform them and hand over the pension to them, but ...... They don't believe in it, and many don't even want to receive pensions......"

Yes, they don't want the money, they just want their son's family back.

The trip was a great success, with hundreds of deaths and illnesses along the way, but hundreds of families were torn apart.

Gu Xiaobai stood there in a daze.

I don't know what to say.

He looked at the countless ships in front of him under the dim torches and lanterns, and looked forward to the sudden appearance of his son, brother, and husband, and hugged the person he had embraced with a smile.

But they may never be able to wait.

In the night, a mournful melody sounded.

The bell rings softly.

Gu Xiaobai sat on the side of the boat, staring into the distance.

A low singing voice sounded.

"Briar outside the window

The walls have long been opened

O man who has traveled far away

When to return home

When will I return home......

Gradually, more and more people joined in.

The voice was low and solemn.

They took off their hats, stood solemnly on the boat, on the shore, staring at the vast Yangtze River and sea in the distance, and the lights of thousands of homes in the city, and whispered to the melody:

"When to return home......

"When to return home......

Soul, back!

Singing, on the boat, echoed on the shore.

It is an elegy for the departed and a memorial for the living.

Some people have clearly made history.

But in history, there are no names for them.

Gu Xiaobai raised his head, and in the sky, the stars flickered.
