The sky gradually darkened high in the valley, and the black crane realized that Sun Zi Ling'er had not returned.

He took the big bow on his back and searched alone, but after looking around, he didn't see anyone, and then looked at the sky around him, and the valley was completely covered in darkness. He was in a hurry and ran to tell Lao Yun and Bai Ziqi.

Bai Ziqi was anxious when he heard this: "Let's all go and look for it separately, it's late at night, he is a little child's house, in case he encounters a beast, it will be broken-"

Hei Crane was not as anxious as Bai Ziqi, "Beasts are not afraid, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he is the best at hunting and hunting beasts." I was only worried in case we went too far and ran into the enemy besieging us. ”

Lao Yun was calm, "You can't light torches, torches are conspicuous in the dark, and it is easy to attract people besieged from afar." The sound can't be too loud, let's all whisper and look for it as we walk. ”

Bai Ziqi took the lead, and dozens of people were about to set off in different directions, when suddenly a black figure deftly came out from a small path, with animal hair standing upside down, and a light posture, he pounced in front of Lao Hei in a few steps, "Grandpa-Ling'er is here-"

As he spoke, he lifted the animal skin wrapped around his head, revealing a grinning face, "I ran and ran after a wolf, and before I knew it, I ran a long way, and finally caught up, only to find that it was a she-wolf, with a big belly, and she was about to give birth to a young wolf, how could I kill a she-wolf, I could only watch it go away." Hey, I ran in vain, but luckily I ran into a leopard on the way back, and I hit it in the eye with an arrow, but it took a lot of effort to kill it, it was so fat, it was dead, and I couldn't carry it alone, so I came back at this time - hee-hee, we have meat to eat tonight. As he spoke, he pointed behind him, and there was a big fat leopard lying on the ground behind him.

"You kid is getting more and more bold, why do you go out hunting alone without telling us, and dare to fight leopards alone! This time you are lucky, you come back safely, you don't dare to run out alone in the future, and if you don't obey me, I won't spare you!" Lao Hei scolded with a dark face.

Xiao Ling'er stuck out his grandfather's tongue, and saw Bai Ziqi in the middle of the crowd through the wind lamp at the door of the big tent, he looked left and right, "Ah-" With a cry of joy, he lifted off the animal skin that was slapped on his body, and the whole person threw himself into Bai Ziqi's arms.

shouted happily: "This is you, Brother Bai Ziqi, Ling'er can see you!"

Bai Ziqi was also happy, touching Ling'er Porcelain Dundun's face, "I've grown taller, I'm fatter, and I'm stronger." ”

Ling'er stood on tiptoe and compared with Bai Ziqi, "My brother has also grown taller, but I haven't seen him for half a year, why has my brother lost weight?"

Bai Ziqi smiled, "Quickly peel this leopard skin and cook the meat, you haven't eaten for a day." ”

Ling'er was happy with the prey she had brought back, and she didn't care about fatigue, so she personally participated in skinning and cutting meat.

Originally, everyone had already eaten the soup boiled with wild vegetables, but when they saw that the fresh prey was so hungry that they couldn't wait, they were busy all night.

Someone was busy outside, Bai Ziqi entered the big tent alone, sat under the lamp and thought silently.

There were too many things that happened on this day, and he made up his mind to end the identity of Hei Xiaobai, from a military doctor to the grandson of Bai Shuai, and also became a new general recognized by everyone. Now he is a general with 20,000 brothers in charge, and he can be regarded as the one who holds the power of the army.

But at the same time, the burden on his shoulders suddenly became extremely heavy.

In the past, he was a bystander, and he only focused on treating the injured soldiers, and he was half-heartedly hesitating whether to leave or stay by Bai Feng's side.

Now that he is not at all, he is standing in Bai Feng's position, and he has to consider the life and death plan of these 20,000 horses from Bai Feng's perspective.

He did not expect that his presence would make these brothers so happy, and he could see that they sincerely welcomed him and embraced him, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

In the face of such expectations, he felt that he could not live up to it.

However, what was now in front of him was a dead chess game that had no way out.

Bai Feng killed this chess set, so he even risked his own life.

In the deep valley these days, their ancestors and grandchildren can actually see each other from afar every day, and he knows that every night, grandpa will deliberately stay in the military doctor's tent for a while during the night patrol, tuck the quilt for Hei Xiaobai in his dream, touch his forehead, and then drag his tired steps away.

He looked at the march map on the desktop made up of a few wooden planks, a charcoal strip in his hand slowly drew on the map, the entire mountain terrain of Dongliang Kingdom came into view, this is the marching map left by Bai Feng, Bai Feng is the general of Dongliang Country all over the country, so this hand-drawn drawing is depicted and marked in great detail, mountains, rivers, beacons, post stations...... Bai Ziqi watched while awakening the sleeping memory in his mind, from the time when he began to be enlightened and taught, his grandfather liked to often take out these atlases to show him, while reading, while pointing out one by one, so Bai Ziqi has been familiar with these in his heart since he was a teenager, but as he grew up, he read, practiced martial arts, and ran outside, and he was estranged from these, and his grandfather didn't do anything to ask for it. He never imagined that one day he would be able to use it.

The hand-drawn picture in front of me can be seen to be newly drawn by my grandfather. Compared with what I saw when I was a child, it is more detailed and accurate.

Could it be that grandpa deliberately left it for himself before leaving?

His vision blurred, tears slipping down his face.

Knowing that there would be today, he might as well recognize his grandfather from the beginning, instead of relying on the identity of a black and white, looking at each other without recognizing each other, but serving him by his side to take care of him sooner or later, and also fulfilling his grandson's filial piety.

It's a pity it didn't happen.

Even if I want to do it now, it's too late.

It's only to blame myself, I was suffering from gains and losses at that time, and I always felt that I couldn't completely integrate two different identities into one role, and I always felt that this Bai Ziqi was just an empty skin, and I didn't need to fight for my life for an empty skin.

Now it seems that I am indeed wrong, because I am too selfish.

Since the soul has worn here, he is the person here from now on, his identity, role, and fate are all tied to the borrowed skin, and only by standing in the position of this character and borrowing everything that this character has wholeheartedly can he strive for everything that belongs to this era.

He was, and how could she not.

Now it seems that she realized and understood earlier than she did.

He slowly rolled up the marching map and wrapped it in an oil-paper bag, such a marching map has become a relic today, and he must cherish it.

When Bai Feng left the barracks in his early years, he no longer had the right to have such albums, but these albums were actually ripe in the depths of his heart, and as long as he had a piece of paper and a pen, he could reproduce such albums.

How hard do you have to be and what kind of emotions you have for this country and its people to be able to put all this deep in your heart?

He looked at the southwest direction and saluted slowly, and prayed silently in his heart: Grandpa, General Bai, you go well, your grandson worships from afar, please bless your grandson, get out of the predicament in front of you, turn around, and exchange for a piece of light.

Outside the tent is a big pot of boiling meat, the meat is slowly becoming cooked, and the fragrance pours into the tent, which makes people feel slightly drunk.

Looking up, the night sky was silent and vast, the bright moon was hanging high, and the soldiers beside him were sleepless late at night, guarding the fire just waiting to eat meat and drink soup, their laughter and laughter were intertwined in the quiet night, and in the distance, the night was hazy, like a dream.

Bai Ziqi looked at such a vision, and was in a trance for a while.

A trace of music in the ears sounded thinly, like a long thread, pulling faintly in the moonlight, touching people's heartstrings and making people's hearts move.

Bai Ziqi couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen.

It could be a straw pole that a soldier broke off from among the weeds and played it on his lips.

I don't know where to blow the reed pipe, and I recruit people to look at the hometown overnight.

Sure enough, the laughter and noise outside suddenly became low, Bai Ziqi stretched out his head to look, and the black pressure in front of him was overwhelming, all looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Bai Ziqi grabbed the pen and slowly wrote on the paper.

"Hello—"

"Hello!"

"How are you?"

"Hello ......"

I opened a few heads, but I felt bad, tore it, and wrote again.

"After half a year, the news was completely cut off. The concern for you in my heart has never been interrupted for a moment. ”

"Now I suddenly figured it out and made up my mind. In order to survive in this world in the future and live well, I have to fight hard. Strive to get everything that should belong to Bai Ziqi. Actually, you're fighting for it too, aren't you?"

"A good man is born in heaven and earth, and he should do a career. Since we have encountered such an opportunity, it is the arrangement of fate. I have been incognito these days because of my inner contradictions and hesitations, and I have been thinking about leaving to find you at any time, but I suddenly understood, if I go to you recklessly like this, even if we can secretly leave the environment in which we live and find a place to hide, can we really live a pure life of men and women weaving?

"You know, I was really moved by Bai Feng's story, so I decided to make my identity public and take on my own burden. ”

"But in that case, I can't go to you now, we all have to work hard in our respective lives, and the current efforts will be exchanged for our future. Reunion, freedom, happiness in the future. ”

"Each is precious. ”

When I finished writing, I put down my pen and looked at the paper in front of me in a daze.

The letter could not be delivered.

The official post station only sends official documents and urgent mail related to the government.

How can a person like them, who hides in the mountains and is branded as an anti-thief or a rogue, send a letter from home.

If you really want to send it, in case you get her in trouble.

He slowly rubbed the letter paper in his palm, crumpling it into pieces.

"I send my heart and the bright moon, follow you until the night Langxi, hehe, Bai Ziqi was forced by Grandpa Bai Feng to read and memorize poems every day when he was a child, and now it seems so good, just come casually-" A heartfelt smile appeared on his young face.

Ling'er burst in: "Big brother, the meat is cooked, let's go eat it - let's all fight the tooth sacrifice!"
