The army carrying rations entered the city.

The majestic correction was high-spirited, attracting many people to watch from the road.

"Appreciate some food, Master Jun!" someone shouted at the top of his voice.

"We're so hungry that we don't even have anymore!" shouted again, prompting a few laughs.

"With food, you can win the battle, Master Jun? The old and young in the family can't hold it anymore!" Some people said hoarsely, in exchange for the silence of more people.

The horses' hooves of the army walked coldly across the long street, and the people stood for a while, and gradually dispersed, leaving only Young Master Yan Jiu with five branches in the same place.

Yao Lida really took out the military rations in his hand to offset the newly brought military rations...... But the bandits said they had been without food for days...... What should Yao Lida do with the military rations he has secretly hidden? Grain is not like a weapon, and it cannot last for a long time, so these private grains must be used to support daily consumption...... Whose daily consumption is supported? Beisai is vast and sparsely populated, with deep mountains, lush forests, and undulating deserts, and all have unique and superior conditions for storing grain, goods, and Tibetans......

Tibetans: A large number of military rations...... Daily consumption...... Is it possible? No, this is only the worst prediction, and it is also possible that the grain is stockpiled for the sake of selling it to the wealthy people in the Beisai area at a high price, taking the opportunity to make a fortune from the war, and now grain is more expensive than gold, and no matter how much money the rich have, they will sit on wax when they run out of food, and in this regard, the military will always have more resources than others.

Young Master Yan Jiu's hand in his sleeve was a little cold, and he raised his eyes to look at the gate of the Eagle Bureau in the distance, and two soldiers with loaded guns outside the gate looked at the passers-by.

Yan Qifu wrote a letter to the big friends in Kyoto on the kang table, the first one was written to the eldest partner and her uncle, and briefly talked about the current situation of the family, such as "I haven't seen my father yet, but I have observed his study, and I feel that I am a good person who is innocent", such as "Mother is almost as imagined, beautiful and kind, informal, but I have a fascination with embroidered belly pockets, since I met now, I have made seven belly pockets that are not heavy colors or duplicates", and for example" Xiao Eleven loves to cry, laugh, and pee, his head is very big, and he is lying there like a hammer", another example is "The weather in Beisai is very dry, Yan Xiaojiu's face is peeling, and his mother asked him to mix snake oil ointment, and he goes in and out with a face of oil every day, I call him snake oil Xiaosheng, he doesn't seem to be very happy." But Beisai is very suitable for him to grow, he is growing again, standing with him last night and compared, he is already two inches taller than me, can eat and sleep, but is more eccentric than before, refuses to let the girl serve closely, I think this product has finally entered puberty", and such as "I am fine now, don't worry".

Then there is a letter to Wu Yue and Lu Rong, in fact, on the way to Beisai, Yan Qi also wrote a few letters to the two, all of which were interesting stories along the way, and now when they arrive in Beisai, they have to report good news and not bad news, and the two letters have introduced the customs and customs here in different ways, Yan Qi feels that his writing skills have become more and more sophisticated.

What is the scenery of Beisai, Yan Qi and a few people have not yet had a chance to take a closer look, the city gate has now entered the first level of martial law, and the entry and exit have to go through ten times stricter than usual, and from time to time there will be a patrol army on horseback and with knives in the streets and alleys, if you see someone on the road who looks discordant, you have to grab it on the spot for an investigation, I heard that several people who look like the bandit leader have been put into the prison.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Young Master Yan Jiu rarely goes out now, Yan Qi and Xiao Chen don't go out for a run in the morning, they only do some strength and skill exercises at home, the group of soldiers in the house somehow knew that Xiao Chen has kung fu on him, and a group of big bosses called Xiao Chen to play in the courtyard outside every day, shouting and shouting from morning to night.

Mrs. Yan Er seems to have long been accustomed to having such a group of high-decibel makers at home, shouting outside, people are not affected at all inside, doing needlework every day, chatting with the girl, teasing the eldest son, coaxing the younger son, handling housework, taking care of the guests, and living a peaceful and calm life.

"Do you still want to find out the truth?" Yan Qi would sometimes ask Young Master Yan Jiu like this.

Young Master Yan Jiu didn't speak, only lowered his eyes, and finally lightly threw a word to Yan Qi: "The truth doesn't have to be known to everyone, but if only one person knows it, then that person must be me." ”

The verification of the truth has actually been temporarily stagnant, after all, he has never been able to see one of the few people who knows the truth, Master Yan Er, and Young Master Yan Jiu is not in a hurry, he sleeps in the room every day in addition to eating and sleeping and reading books.

Cui Xi also has his own things to do, before he came, he brought two large jars of rubber milk, and when he had nothing to do, he pondered how to process it into the real rubber products that Yan Qi said, Yan Qi was also helping by the side, and the two tried again and again, and failed again and again, but no one was discouraged, but enjoyed it and failed to try.

It's not a big swallow house, but it's full of people living inside, and it's lively and lively, and everyone has joys, and the world outside the courtyard doesn't seem to have much impact on the small world in the courtyard.

And early this morning, the family and the host had just finished drinking the porridge and eating the cakes, when they heard the broken gong of the porter Zhang Biao sounding outside the second gate: "The fight has started!

"Go and call Zhang Biao to the courtyard to talk. "Second Mrs. Yan asked the girl next to her to call someone.

Zhang Biao ran in with a bang, stood in the courtyard and saluted to the house, the weather in the fifth lunar month was already a little hot, the doors and windows of the upper room were all open, and the situation in the house could be seen at a glance outside, Mrs. Yan Er sat on the top, leaned forward slightly and asked Zhang Biao: "What did you say about the fight?"

"Madam, our army and the barbarians are fighting in Little Wolf Pass!" Zhang Biao said at a glance, "I heard that it is the soldiers of the martial master, and they are catching a team of dog barbarians who want to quietly touch the pass, and the two armies have met a square, and the battle will start when they land!"

The ladies in the room inhaled.

Fighting a war is not as the people imagine, fighting every day and every night all the time, fighting is not a trivial matter, every battle is paying a lot of lives, whether it is a warlike barbarian or a populous Celestial Dynasty, it will not take human life as a child's play and start a war casually, every time a war is launched, it is the product of a lot of thought and careful decision, it is a great thing, it is enough to make the soldiers and people inside and outside the war circle devote all their attention and spirit, although there are encounters, it is also the psychological preparation for war in advance, so no battle will start without reason, no purpose, and no preparation, and it is precisely because of this, every battle is enough to touch people's hearts.

Second Mrs. Yan covered her heart and said, "Do you know what the current battle situation is?"

"I haven't believed it yet, it's only been a long time since the fight, and I have to wait!" Zhang Biao's tone seemed to be narrating a ball game, the cruelty of war, and their soldiers had long been accustomed to it.

"I don't know if your father is okay. Second Mrs. Yan frowned and Yan Qidao.

"Is Little Wolf Pass far away from the Great Wilderness Mountain?" Yan Qi asked Zhang Biao.

"It's far away! It will take half a day to get fast!" Zhang Biao grinned, "Besides, it is impossible for Yao Laogou to let the boss and the soldiers of the martial master get too close!"

"Yao Laogou is really scheming. Yan Qi sighed. Little Eleven in his arms snorted and reached out to pick her mouth.

"Go ahead, come in and tell you when there's new news. Second Mrs. Yan and Zhang Biao said, turning their heads to comfort the children, "Don't worry, the Little Wolf Pass is not close to us, and no matter how much you fight, you can't hit here." If Xiao Jiuyi wants to read a book and go to the back hood room, I will ask them to clean out a vacant room, and every time there is a fight, the boys in front of them will quarrel for a day, don't let them disturb you. Yuanyi also reads books, and is willing to have a room with Xiao Jiuyi, and is willing to let them sweep out another room if they are separated from each other. Xiao Qi and Xiao Si are playing in this upper room, and I will take them to check the accounts of my Zhuangzi shops and fields today. ”

"It's better to check the accounts in the upper room, I and Xiaosi are in the yard, and I'll take the dumplings for a day. "Yan Qidao.

"It's fine. Mrs. Yan nodded, and began to let people Zhang Luo, some went to sweep the study room for Young Master Yan Jiu and Xiao Chen, and some went to move in the back warehouse, and Mrs. Yan asked people to find a large set of yarn tents and a few lattice shelves, and set up a blue yarn cabinet in the yard, which put together two low couches, spread a thick felt blanket on the top, and then spread a layer of satin mattress on the top, and put a few pillows and two small tables, so that Yan Qi and Cui Xi took off their shoes and played on the top with Xiao Shiyi.

The meat dumpling had just eaten enough milk, and this time he was drowsy in Yan Qi's arms, and while sleeping, he also used his mouth to find Yan Qi's chest, and then he drooped a puddle of saliva on the prominent part, which made Cui Xi laugh next to him, Yan Qi's cheekiness was a little unbearable, and he handed the dumplings to the nurse to hold first, and then went back to the room to change his clothes, and then re-entered the blue yarn cupboard.

It was easy for the meat dumpling to fall asleep, put him on the mattress, and covered him with a small thin quilt, Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "When he grows up, I don't know what the world is like at that time." ”

"At that time, we were still young, so we didn't rush it, and we watched slowly. Cui Xi said with a smile.

"That's right," Yan Qi nodded, "Have you insisted on practicing the Qi and Physical Fitness Exercises that Wuzhi taught you?"

"Practice, practice every day before going to sleep," Cui Xi smiled, "The effect of the side has not been found yet, but the sleep is more stable than before." ”

"Then it proves to be effective, and you have to practice Qigong slowly, and only after a long time can you show more results. Yan Qidao, "What are we going to do today?"

Because they had to look at Little Eleven, the two of them couldn't study rubber anymore.

"Anything is good. Cui Xi looked at her with a smile.

"How about reading a book together?" Yan Qi took out a copy of "Mobei Miscellaneous Notes" from his arms and put it on the kang table, "There are also illustrations." ”

"Good. Cui Xi sat down with a smile, the two of them were on their shoulders, lying on the table and looking at the book carefully, exchanging a few words from time to time, or you read a paragraph and I read a paragraph, or some whimsical ideas, so he simply took out a pen and paper to write and draw, until Yan Xiaoyi next to him woke up with a soak of urine and pee, and then he threw away his hand to clean up the goods.

The final news of the encounter at Little Wolf Pass didn't come in until after dinner, and Wu Changdao led his troops to beat the barbarians and fled far away, which was a small victory, and the result was still very exciting, but it didn't affect the daily life of the people in the house.

Xiao Eleven and Yan Qi were tired of a day, and they were a little sticky before going to bed, so they had to be honest if Yan Qi hugged them, otherwise they would babble and cry to show you, Yan Qi said hello to Yan Er's wife, and slept in Xiao Eleven's room at night.

Xiao Eleven slept in the east corner room, next to the east room is the room of the second wife of Yan, Yan Qi washed up and went to the east corner with his own bed, Xiao Eleven slept in the bed, Yan Qi slept outside the bed, and the nurse slept on the window kang.

Mrs. Yan Er's account for the day, she was already a little tired, Yan Qi wanted to go to Xiao Eleven again, put out the lights early, and the upper room quickly fell into silence.

Unconsciously, after three watches, the bright moon is still shining tirelessly in the middle of the sky, the night is pleasant, but unfortunately no one has any leisure to appreciate. A black shadow suddenly flashed at the entrance of Sunset Alley, striding quickly, but not making any sound. The black shadow ran to the wall next to the Yan house, and his footsteps did not stop, and he jumped and easily fell into the inner courtyard.

In the weather of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the window is no longer closed when sleeping at night, only the yarn drawer is closed, the black shadow comes to the screen window between the east corners, and peeks in, and sees the bed tent on the opposite bed, and nothing can be seen, so he reaches out and opens the yarn drawer lightly, and then jumps in as soon as he lifts his body, and a few steps to the bed, his fingers hook the bed tent, and then gently lifts it. 166 Reading Network
