Chapter 165: Three layers of armor and a thousand zhang silk

The dream continues.

The life of the person in the dream goes on.

For a long time in the future, the masters of the perspective traveled back and forth between the small Zhuangzi and the palatial palaces outside Chang'an.

In the process, Li Shixin followed the girl's perspective and movements, and memorized the tailoring skills such as forming, cutting, and sewing.

In addition to the boring daily life of female workers, sugar gourd has become the bright color in this memory.

Every time I enter and exit the palace, there is always a young man holding a sugar gourd standing on the side of the street in the market outside the imperial city.

But one day, things will change.

"Hey, I'm coming over tomorrow, don't forget the sugar gourd. ”

"Cixiu, you've already eaten one hundred and twenty-five skewers, and you haven't eaten enough?"

Looking at the boy's bitter face, the girl raised her little foot and kicked it!

"Stupid!"

Through the girl's point of view, Li Shixin is clear. The sugar gourds had already eaten enough, and even occasionally when the boy was not paying attention, the remaining one or two of the string of sugar gourds were quietly thrown away by the girl on the side of the road.

"I'm leaving!"

After being kicked, the boy didn't feel any pain, but just smiled stupidly.

"Huh?" the girl froze: "Where are you going?"

"My family's land is long gone, and my grandfather said that he is old, and the family has no land to support our brothers. Let me and my third brother go to the army to make a living by ourselves before they have a family, and the family can also have more money and food subsidies. ”

Hearing this, the girl was stunned.

She suddenly felt that the sugar gourd in her hand that she wanted to throw away became so heavy.

She was silent for a long time before she asked, "Mobei, it's so far, ......right? When will I get back?"

"I heard the military master who recruited soldiers say that if there is no war, it will take five or six years for a long time, or three or five years for a short time. Well...... I think it's best to catch up with the war, and come back when I have earned seven military merits and saved enough money to beg my mother-in-law. ”

"You, you went to Ying Wu to beg your mother-in-law?! You, you are not ashamed!"

"Hey, Cixiu, Cixiu!"

Not listening to the shouts behind her, the girl ran to take the uneaten sugar gourd and ran all the way back to the house.

......

In the boudoir, the latest clothes have been made.

The girl lay listlessly on the edge of the long case, slapping the veiled drunken fairy in front of her again and again, muttering and cursing in her mouth.

"You shameless little thing! What's wrong with people trying to please your mother-in-law? People have never said that when you are your lover, what kind of temper do you have?"

The poor drunken fairy was shaken by the wind and rain of her slender fingers, but she kept standing up again - just like a girl who can't get rid of a love thread in her heart.

The next day, on the way to the palace, the girl met the boy again.

Only this time the boy was not waiting for her, but blocked in front of a blacksmith shop.

"I don't have the money to buy a whole set of armor, what are you going to do to recruit soldiers? Hurry up, I am not a place for ordnance. The cheapest set of armor is 3,000 yuan, when will you save enough, when will you want to go to the conscription again!"

Looking at the boy who was blasted out, the girl bit her lip.

In the palace.

Looking at the fluttering white long-sleeved dress on her body, the concubine was very satisfied.

But seeing the girl's worried face, she put away her joy and said strangely: "Cixiu, but who upset you?"

"Ah," the girl came back to her senses, "no, sissy." ”

"Then why are you sullen?"

The girl lowered her head, and after a long while, she raised it again: "Niangniang, I still want to ask you for a reward today." ”

"You ghost girl, what did you fall into?"

"The slave wants three layers of armor on the upper body, thighs, and shins, and a top of the body. One of the twelve stone crossbows, fifty arrows, one Mo knife head, and one short sword. ”

Hearing this strange reward, the concubine was stunned: "You are a girl, what do you want these soldiers to do?"

In the face of this inquiry, the girl did not answer, but stubbornly continued to give a gift.

"That's it. God knows what kind of demonic wind you have in this girl, come here. The concubine waved her hand.

". ”

"Go, inform the forbidden army, and bring what she asks for. ”

"Yes. ”

......

In the noisy streets, teenagers are still waiting on the path that girls must pass.

But this time, he didn't bring sugar gourds.

Seeing the girl sweating profusely carrying a big package and staggering over, the young man hurriedly greeted her.

"Cixiu, what are you carrying, why is it so heavy?"

"Humph!"

The girl glared at the young man fiercely, saw that his hand was empty, pursed her lips, and stretched out her hand: "Where is my sugar gourd?"

"Uh," the young man suddenly felt embarrassed: "I just came to tell you about this today, I may be dishonest...... Recruit soldiers to bring their own three-layer armor and soldiers, I ...... I won't be able to buy you sugar gourds in the future. I'm going to save money. ”

"Save money to buy armor soldiers, so that you can go to your Mobei and earn your mother-in-law's capital?"

Faced with the girl's questioning, the boy grinned.

Looking at the bustling crowd around her, the girl snorted lightly and pointed to the bag of things on the ground, "Let's go, find a secluded place to talk!"

"Oh,"

In the alley, the young man blinked suspiciously, "Cixiu, what are you going to say when you pulled me here?"

The girl lowered her head and stared at the large package, plucking up her courage in the boy's doubts.

"This is for you. ”

"For me?"

The young man opened the package suspiciously, and when he saw the armor and weapons of the forbidden army inside, his eyes lit up with joy.

"Where did you get that?"

"Don't worry about this!" the girl turned away shyly, "With these things, you can go and earn your seven-turn military merits, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then I gave you these things, which can be regarded as the funding of this girl. When you've earned enough military merits, you'll have to marry me when you come back!"

The girl closed her eyes and shouted out the words that were holding back in her heart.

The boy was stunned.

Seeing that the person opposite did not react to such a clear statement, the girl stomped her feet hatefully, covered her face flushed with shame and ran away.

Behind him, the young man held his bright thigh armor and scratched his head.

Looking at the girl's back, he shouted.

"I wanted to marry you!"

......

The boy wore the three layers of armor given by the girl, the body, the thighs, and the shins, and carried a crossbow of twelve stones, fifty arrows, and a hogo, with a sword wrapped in three days' food, and ran with a load, running a hundred miles from dawn to mid-day, and passed the conscription.

It didn't take long to get the order that the army was about to go on an expedition.

It was still on that long street, and the boy bought all the money he had saved during this time to buy sugar gourds.

The red sugar gourd is stuck on a long pole wrapped in linen, like a small tree with sugar gourd branches.

When she came out of the palace and saw the young man with bright armor and a smirk on his face, the girl had a somewhat complicated mood.

"Leaving?"

"Hmm!"

After a long silence, the young man felt inexplicably indebted, and he stretched out the sugar gourd in his hand like a Mo knife in front of the girl, "Oh, this is for you." You can eat enough at one time, don't say I'm untrustworthy!"

Looking at the big clump of sugar gourds, the girl raised her little foot and kicked it hard: "Stupid!"

The boy was in pain, but he didn't get angry, just wiped the small footprints on his shin armor and continued to giggle.

The girl sighed, took an object from her belt, and stuffed it into the boy's hand, "Well, this is for you." ”

"What is this?" The young man's eyes widened as he looked at the white hair-like filaments in his hands.

"It's silk. ”

"Silk, what do I want this for? Can I eat it when I'm hungry?"

When I was a child, I liked to watch A-Niang draw silk, a small silkworm cocoon, which can pull out long silk. Do you know how long the longest is?"

“......”

"Why don't you speak?"

"You won't let it. ”

“......“

The girl's eyes widened in anger, and after a while, she felt that it might be in exchange for a smirk, so she had to give up.

"Forget it, you fool. Let me tell you, the longest silk I've ever seen is as long as a thousand zhang!"

Looking at the girl's exaggerated gesture, the boy wowed.

"So long?!"

"Yes. Well, the current one is a thousand-foot-long silk. Although, it's not as far as where you go, but it's ......."

"But what?"

"Well, forget it, I told you that you don't understand. ”

The girl blushed and sighed, pulling the silk tied with red thread out of the boy's hand and stuffing it into his armor.

"Bring it, don't lose it!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Go, hurry up and earn enough military merit, come back quickly!"

"Oh....."

Smearing the silk in the iron armor, the boy nodded, gave the girl a newly learned military salute, and after another smirk, turned to leave.
