Chapter 774: Five Years

Sunset City, east of the city, in a remote corner, in the dilapidated houses, the lights are beating and slightly dim. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Inside the house, Ning Chen looked at the little boy with tears in front of him, gently took the sword in his hand, and immediately walked to the front and hung it up again.

"Xiaowen, family heirlooms can't be easily given to others, otherwise, how can they be called heirlooms?"

Ning Chen turned around, rubbed the little boy's head, and said with a smile, "Your mother's illness will be cured soon, don't worry"

"Is what Mr. said true?" Xiaowen raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his eyes and asked.

"Of course it's true, Mr. never lies" Ning Chen smiled and replied.

"I believe sir"

Xiaowen burst into tears and laughed, and put his heart at ease.

On the side of the bed, Xin Yu let go of her hand to diagnose the pulse, looked at her husband on the side, and said softly, "It's the wind cold."

"Wind chill?"

Ning Chen frowned slightly, if it was cold, how could Xiaowen's mother be so sick.

"The wind chill is just the trigger, in fact, the biggest problem is that Xiaowen's mother has been tired for many years, and her body is already very weak"

Speaking of this, Xinyu sighed lightly and said, "I'll do my best."

"Sir?"

Xiaowen gently tugged on the sleeves of the people around him, and hopefully, "Is my mother okay?"

"Xiaowen Fangxin, your mother is fine"

Ning Chen lowered his head, his face showed a gentle expression, and responded.

Xin Yu took out the silver needle she carried with her, and put a line of needles on the acupuncture points of the Taiyin Lung Meridian, Du Mai, Ren Mai and other acupuncture points in the woman's hand to expel the wind and cold qi in the woman's body.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xinyu put away the silver needle, looked at the little boy who had been waiting nervously beside her, and smiled, "It's okay, just continue to go to the school on the day of the little civilization, and I will come over to help you take care of your mother."

"But"

A look of hesitation flashed on Xiaowen's face, and he said.

"Xiaowen is obedient, your master knows how to use medical skills, and she can take better care of your mother," Ning Chen said softly.

Xiaowen nodded, looked at the fairy-like woman in front of him, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master."

Ning Chen patted the little boy's head and said softly, "It's not early, let's go back first, Xiaowen, you go to bed early, and you have to go to the school tomorrow."

"Hmm"

Xiaowen obediently responded.

"Let's go"

Ning Chen looked at the people around him and spoke.

Xinyu nodded and walked outside together.

On the street, Ning Chen said softly, "Xinyu, I saw that you had something to say just now, is there anything wrong?"

"It's about Xiaowen's mother's illness"

Xin Yu sighed lightly and said, "After a long time of hard work, even if the wind and cold are cured this time, Xiaowen's mother's time will not be too much."

"How long can it last?" Ning Chen frowned.

"Five or six years"

Xinyu replied softly.

Ning Chen was silent, and after a moment, he spoke, "If Xiaowen's mother wakes up tomorrow and tells her about it, I think she should know a little bit about it."

"Hmm"

Xinyu nodded and answered.

"Rumble"

At this moment, in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, but unlike before there was only one person, this time, more than ten horsemen galloped by, carrying long knives at their waists, and carrying arrows behind their backs, murderous.

In front of the street, Ning Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, it was really eventful.

The two of them stood for a moment, waiting for the dust and sand to dissipate before continuing to walk forward.

The cold moon shone high, a few hours later, two hundred miles east of the ancient city, more than ten iron horsemen caught up with the people who left before, the fight began, after a vicious battle, the people who were chased and killed barely broke through, dragged the seriously injured body and continued to rush towards the Great Xia Imperial City in the east.

The night passed, the day came, everything was as before, Ning Chen went to the private school, Xinyu went to Xiaowen's house, and the people in the city continued to do it day and night, without any change.

In the private school, the recitation is loud in the ears, and the young children do not know much, and their minds are the most simple, and they are very satisfied to have the opportunity to read.

When he got out of school, Xiaowen didn't wait for the etiquette to be finished, and ran out of the school in a hurry, always reassuring that he couldn't get rid of his seriously ill mother.

Looking at the child's reckless appearance, Ning Chen did not blame, childish filial piety is the most precious emotion in the world, and no one can blame it.

When he returned home, Xinyu had not returned, and Ning Chen walked to the medicine garden to help sort out the herbs.

The garden is full of flowers and plants, releasing a unique medicinal fragrance, among them, a medicinal herb, extremely dazzling, the name of the medicine breaks the soul, and the world is poisonous.

Ning Chen saw it in his eyes, but he didn't see it, and continued to sort out the other herbs.

"Came back so early"

The courtyard door opened, Xinyu walked in, looked at the figure in the medicine garden, and chuckled.

"It's not that I'm early, it's that you're late"

Ning Chen smiled, stepped forward, helped him take the medicine box, and said, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired"

Xinyu shook her head and said.

"After taking care of the patient for a day, how can you not be tired, let's go back to the house first"

Ning Chen took the hand of the woman beside him and walked towards the room.

The day of the border fortress is different from the imperial city, and the time of the four seasons is also very different, the imperial city is already a hot summer at this time, however, in the side of the fortress is just after the winter, the cold is abnormal.

The fire in the house crackled, Ning Chen put down the herbs, stretched out his hand to hold the former's slightly cool hand, and said, "Roast the fire to warm up."

"Hmm"

Xinyu sat by the fire, feeling the warmth coming from in front of her, her head gently rested on the shoulders of the people around her, and said softly, "Xiaowen's mother woke up today and told me a lot of things, it turns out that Xiaowen's ancestor is a general's family."

Ning Chen moved his body carefully, making it more comfortable for the former to rely on, and responded, "When I saw that sword yesterday, I guessed something, what about Xiaowen's father?"

"Dead"

Xin Yu showed emotion on his face and said, "Xiaowen's family has fallen into the middle of the family since his grandfather's generation, and Xiaowen's father also chose to join the army in order to make their mother and son live a better life, but unfortunately, he died in the fight during the counterinsurgency a few years ago."

"The general dies in a hundred battles, and the strong man returns in ten years"

Ning Chen muttered softly, war is originally a matter of nine deaths and one life, and there is no one out of ten who can really survive.

He didn't like war, he didn't like it very much, and if he could, he hoped that there would never be another war in the world.

At the beginning, Fan Lingyue poured the power of Beimeng to attack Xia, the purpose was to unify Shenzhou and completely end the situation of confrontation between multiple Koreas.

He didn't know if there would be a hundred generations of prosperity in Fan Lingyue's mouth after the reunification of Shenzhou, he only knew that in the history of China, the situation of the unification of the world would never last long.

The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be combined for a long time, and the reason for this is the people's hearts.

The world's pursuit of all-out will never stop, and there is almost no possibility of ending the battlefield completely.

It's brutal, but it's true.

The origin of war is to fight for power and profit, and any glorified words are hypocritical, regardless of whether the winner who writes history or the loser who is nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Husband, in the past six months, Xinyu has been very happy"

In a soft whisper, Xinyu leaned on the shoulders of the people around her and fell asleep tiredly.

Ning Chen gently took the sleeping woman into his arms, and a light aroma penetrated between his noses, with a faint medicinal fragrance, so familiar, as warm as ever.

This is his wife, a woman worthy of his life's company, and he does not regret his original decision.

Time, little by little in this scene, passes with each other, willing to be ordinary.

Five years later, in the ancient city, a team of soldiers will appear, more than 5,000 people, headed by officials, three top wearing, extraordinary.

For the first time, the people in the city saw so many officers and soldiers, and they all got out of the way, not daring to get too close.

In the city, Su Mei, who sells tofu, is married to a wife, and her husband is an honest man, and the two go out of the stall together and continue to do the tofu business.

When the officers and soldiers arrived, the carriage knocked down the tofu stall, and the tofu spilled all over the ground, Su Mei and the man squatted down silently, cleaning up the stall, and did not dare to resist.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and although they had not read a book, they also knew this truth.

When the two were cleaning up, a plain figure appeared, and they also squatted down to help clean up.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning"

Seeing the person who appeared in front of him, Su Mei's tearful eyes flashed with gratitude, and said.

"It's just a matter of hands"

After cleaning up the tofu spilled on the ground, Ning Chen got up, looked at the officers and soldiers who were far away, didn't say anything, and walked towards his home in the east of the city.

As soon as she got home, Xinyu walked up, with a worried look on her face, and said, "Xiaowen's mother may not be able to hold on, and she may not be able to survive this winter."

When Ning Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Is it so fast, it's only been five years?"

"You also know the situation in Xiaowen's family, it is all up to Xiaowen's mother to manage it alone, and it is not easy to survive five years," Xin Yu sighed lightly.

"That child, what is her mother going to arrange?" Ning Chen walked into the room and asked.

"Xiaowen's mother is going to give Xiaowen all the money left over from the family's thrift over the years, let him go out to study, and he will not be allowed to come back before he has fame," Xinyu replied.

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world"

Ning Chen's face flashed with emotion, and he said, "Do you still have any money at home?"

"Hmm"

Xinyu nodded and said, "There is still some silver at home, since Xiaowen's mother doesn't want Xiaowen to know about it, then you will give the silver to Xiaowen in the name of Mr., and the student will go out to study, and Mr. will give some silver, and in the past, Xiaowen won't think too much."

"That's all it can be," Ning Chen said.

"By the way, when I came back from Xiaowen's house today, I saw a lot of officers and soldiers, do you know what's going on?" Xinyu wondered.

"Not so clear"

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "That official looks at the three-grade dress, but he has never seen it, it should be a new noble, the imperial court sent officials above the third-grade to come, there should be a big event, this city will not be too peaceful in the future."

"I didn't expect that this remote place can't avoid strife, so it's really not good, let's move away," Xinyu said softly.

"Not for the time being, since that official was not a courtier before, he shouldn't know us, and besides, after Xiaowen leaves, Xiaowen's mother also needs someone to take care of her, let's take a look first, we have lived here for five years, even if we want to move out, it is not a matter of one or two days" Ning Chen responded.

"Well, it's all up to you"

Xinyu nodded lightly.
