The spring breeze is gentle, and everywhere you pass, the wild trees in the high places sprout and grow leaves, and the wild grasses in the lower places turn green one by one.

In the tent of the accompanying military doctor, Hei Xiaobai was wiping a sword.

It was a fine sword.

An old soldier leaned over, "I didn't see it, you stuffy man, you still have such a good sword on your body." Can you give me a touch?"

Black and white are silent.

The veteran reached for his sword.

Hei Xiaobai suddenly changed his face, kicked over, kicked in the crotch, and the old soldier bared his teeth in pain, "If you don't show it, forget it, why be angry? What's wrong with you weird person lately? Cheng Tian has a straight face, as if someone has made you unhappy!"

Hei Xiaobai ignored him, pushed the long sword into the sheath, got up and walked out of the big tent, looking at the towering and continuous peaks in the distance, he was deeply confused.

Go, just leave quietly, go back to her, the two of them live an ordinary life together, and they will be safe and happy for the rest of their lives;

If you stay, how will you go on this road? The road of the eye seems to be broken as you walk.

There is a long road ahead, and the elder who took the lead is dead, and the benchmark and hope have collapsed.

There was a deep and shallow groan in my ears, which were some cup of hunger, sickness, and wounds that were tormented day and night.

The long cold winter has passed, but the current new year is not very happy, on the contrary, it makes people feel more and more devastated and sad.

He used to ignore military affairs, stay away from strife, and only buried himself in healing diseases and saving people's bones and healing wounds, thinking that in this way he could wait for a good result.

Now it seems that it was a wrong choice to plunge into the army incognito and become an obscure little military doctor.

Hearing the painful moans in my ears again, I suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability in my heart, and I just wanted to get rid of them and be quiet. He walked away, away from the tent, and sat on a stone in a daze.

What now? Go, or stay?

I picked up a stone in my hand, looked at it, and said silently in my heart: This stone is sharp at one end and round at the other, throw it up and then fall to the ground, the pointed end first falls to the front, the round head falls first to the opposite, the right to go, the other way around...... Stay.

I closed my eyes and pinched the stone and prayed silently: "I miss you a lot, in the days of hunger and cold, I couldn't sleep in the long night, I was thinking about you, and I wanted to know you every day, from the initial encounter, to the little bit closer, to the lover, and then to the ...... I did something sorry for you, I only regretted it after I woke up, I once thought that if I could do it all over again in this life, I would be good to you for the rest of my life, even if I didn't want anything...... Such an opportunity actually appeared, and from the moment I saw you again, I made up my mind that I would never fail you again in this life. But...... Now, what do I want? You, the Bai family, the net worth and life of 20,000 soldiers, and the reputation of General Bai's hard work...... Sometimes I really want to leave like this, the affairs of the Bai family, the affairs of the old general Bai, the affairs of the Dongliang country, to put it bluntly, what does it have to do with us? However, why do I always feel that I can't give up, I can't let go, grandpa, old General Bai, is really too good to me, such a person, do I really have to live up to it......

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly threw up, and the stone drew a line in the air, and then landed.

He suddenly changed his mind, and before he could hit the ground, he caught it from the air, didn't look at it, just threw it behind him.

Strode towards the two soldiers who were wrestling and rolling together not far away.

It turned out to be two soldiers, one was a tender soldier doll, and the other had a beard, and the two of them were fighting vigorously, and their bodies were crushed on the grass and the grass was flying.

At the same time, the two of them kept scolding.

The old man shouted while beating: "Beat you conscienceless!"

The little one was not convinced: "You are a fool, everyone is dead, and you are still protecting-"

The old man shouted: "You are not allowed to slander the old general Bai to clear his name!"

Small grievance: "That's my slander, it's all he who harmed us all!"

The old man slapped the little one in the face: "He is not good to us, he is hungry, and he saves the horse bone broth and feeds it to the wounded with his own hands." We all ate horse meat and bone broth, but he didn't eat a bite, and he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep at night and secretly got up to drink cold water—"

The little backhand hit back: "But now we have fallen into this field, just because we are following him wrong!"

……

Hei Xiaobai looked at it coldly.

The two soldiers, one old and one young, were like two madmen, leading the dust on the grass floor, and even the finches in the grass that were about to lay eggs and hatch their eggs were startled and flew wildly.

"Bang-" The veteran slapped the creep on the buttocks.

The little soldier covered his ass and shouted: "You old thing is really good, the knife wound on my ass is good-"

Hei Xiaobai suddenly laughed coldly.

The laughter startled the two soldiers who were fighting heartily.

The two of them let go of their hands and turned around, and at the same time asked rhetorically, "Black military doctor, when did you come?"

"It's been a while. Hei Xiaobai sat on the grass, "What are you fighting for? ”

Xiao Bing rubbed his buttocks, "Black military doctor, you come to comment, I said that we are now trapped in this deep valley, and we can't survive if we want to die, originally I thought it would be good to survive a winter, who knows that I didn't die in the cold winter Layue, and I saw that I was going to die in front of me." ”

The veteran was angry: "You are talking nonsense, we people who did not come out with General Bai voluntarily, and now General Bai has even taken his life, you say such unconscionable words, you are really not worthy of being a soldier under General Bai, let alone saying that you are a soldier who has suffered and fought with General Bai!"

Xiaobing was aggrieved: "Where am I talking nonsense with my conscience, it's all said by those people in the barracks." They said that all of us originally came to General Bai, his reputation is known to the world, and he can fight well, and he will definitely be able to survive one day, everyone has a good future, and can also try to be a wife and son, who knows that this trip is unlucky, not to mention, not to mention, now that General Bai himself is dead, what is the use of us brothers still staying here? I don't dare to count on the future, but I am afraid that sooner or later I will be besieged to death by the soldiers of the imperial court, as rebellious ministers and thieves, and I will not even have a grave when I die, so I can only throw my body in this deep mountain and barren valley. As he spoke, his eyes were full of tears of missing his hometown and relatives.

The veteran sighed and sat down, "Who's to say it's not." No one could have imagined that we had come to such a point at first—but you can't blame all the blame on General Bai. The old general he also has his own helplessness, since the day we came out, the burden of a thousand catties has been on his shoulders alone, I as a close servant, and a veteran left in the early years of the Jiazi soldiers, how can I not know the old general Bai's personality and mind, patting his heart to speak the truth of the heart, looking at the world today, this Dongliang country can no longer find a second person like him who puts the people of the world and the people of Li in the first place in his heart! General Bai Lao is comparable to Yue Fei of the Great Song Dynasty in the history books—— Since he was young, he has led his brothers to fight in the north and south, and later met a generation of founding emperors, and his achievements are really impressive - how many sins he has suffered, how many hardships he has suffered, how many battles he has fought, how many knife wounds and sword wounds on his body, how many enemy heads have been cut off by flying knives in the chaotic army, how many enemy banners have been cut down, and how many people's hearts have been gathered, Xiao Linian, how can you know that you eat grandma's doll? You haven't seen or experienced those eventful years, that's why you dare to talk nonsense like this, and when you talk nonsense in the future, touch your hearts first-"

When it comes to emotion, he is always in tears and can't cry.

Hei Xiaobai slowly knelt down and helped him up with both hands.

He asked slowly, "In your eyes, is Old General Bai really so good?"

The veteran wiped away his tears, "I Cheng Dayan hates those who don't tell the truth the most in my life, I was already taking my children and grandchildren to farm in the countryside, living a small life of food and clothing, why did I run out to participate in the army, I can't forget the good general Bai Lao to us, I think when I was young, I followed the general to run all over the entire Dongliang country, which land has not been trampled by our horses' hooves - it is really an inch of rivers and mountains and an inch of blood, the good life of the Dongliang country is what we have in exchange for our heads in our hands- General Bai Lao couldn't bear to watch the great country being trampled by the iron cavalry of the Moro Kingdom, and he couldn't bear to watch tens of thousands of ordinary people being killed by them - since General Bai Lao took the lead in the battle, we, the veterans of the old days, naturally can't stand by, we are willing to work with the general Jin Ge Iron Horse, live and die together, and fight together for the innocent people of Dongliang Country to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Cheng Dayan said and covered his face and cried, "How can you young people understand this love between us and the general, this is honed year by year in the eventful years, I only hate myself for being old and my legs and feet are not good, and I feel sluggish, I can't detect the general's final plan in time, if I could have detected it, I would really rather die with the general——"

"Your affection...... The love between the soldier and the old general ......" black and white muttered.

"Yes, the old general Bai is really a rare good general in the world, he has always rushed to the forefront of the war, eats and sleeps exactly like the most ordinary soldiers, and has been injured several times to cover unknown soldiers, I think there was a recruit who was not serious when he practiced, and he was nervous when he went into battle, and he couldn't even pinch the gun steadily. But the recruits were not punished in the slightest. After his injuries healed, he personally took this ignorant recruit to practice shooting. Do you know who this ignorant recruit is? It's me Cheng Dayan—" Cheng Dayan wiped tears from his eyes again.

The new doll Xiao Linian listened attentively, forgetting that he was fighting with Cheng Dayan just now, and sat down in front of him, staring at him with round eyes: "Are you really that recruit?

Hei Xiaobai looked at the young baby's face with blazing eyes, "Actually, you have also been taken care of by him, when you were injured in the butt and unconscious, he personally helped me give you medicine." You have a palm-sized black birthmark on your butt, and he reached out and touched it. ”

Xiao Linian panicked and blushed with shame: "It's really fake, the general actually touched my ass?"

Cheng Dayan glared at him: "It's not just touching the buttocks, in the end, you killed the war horse and ate meat, didn't you secretly cry and say that you couldn't eat enough, when you divided the meat, the Huotou Army deliberately gave you an extra spoonful in the bowl, do you know whose share it is? It was General Bai's, he gave you his savings, but he didn't eat all night." ”

Xiao Linian was stunned, looking at the green grass in front of him, and then looking at the high and deep blue sky set high by the valley, tears slowly appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "I don't even know this, old general...... He ......"

Hei Xiaobai stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, "Now the old general is gone." Besides, no matter how much you cry, it's too late. Now we need to think carefully about how to go on this road in front of us. ”

Cheng Dayan nodded: "Actually, I had a dispute with Xiao Linian's little brother just now, and I blamed it on me for suddenly hearing someone say disrespectful to the general like this, so I became angry." In fact, the brothers are anxious, anxious, and on fire, I know all of them, and my heart is also full of fire - the general died like this, and his body was trampled into flesh by the hooves of the chaotic army, and his head is still hanging high above the gate of the Moro army, who thinks of these who is not piercing with a knife in his heart--General Black Crane and General Yun quarrel every day except quarrels, and the days drag on like this, who knows where the way out for our people will be in the future?"

Hei Xiaobai looked at the pair of vicissitudes of life in front of him, "Then according to your opinion, how are we survivors going to take the next road?"

Cheng Dayan shook his head: "People don't go without heads, birds can't fly without heads, I've been watching coldly these days, our 20,000 remaining men and horses, what is most lacking is not food weapons, but a commander with brains, talents and cohesion, even if it is not as good as General Bai, but it is better than General Black Crane and Lao Yun - General Black Crane has been grumpy and reckless all his life, and General Bai can still be suppressed when he is alive, and now he is getting more and more angry, General Lao Yun is getting older, and now he is useless- Alas, Old General Bai made painstaking arrangements before leaving, but he couldn't arrange such a talent for us——"

Hei Xiaobai looked at the blue sky high and nodded slowly, only he knew that the long-standing and indecisive mind in his heart had an answer at this moment.
