Yingzhou Prefecture Ya.

An Shao sat precariously, but his frowning brows betrayed his restless heart.

"Report! His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't find Xiao Tianli and the side concubine!" The person who came was a soldier, and he bowed his head to report.

"Xiao Tianli will not be able to run far if he is injured, if this person is not removed, it will be a big disaster in the future. Continue to search for the palace, if you live to see people and dead people, you must see corpses!" An Shao paused, "As for Concubine Ming, it has only been four or five days since General Wang last saw her, so where can she go in such a short time......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, perhaps, the side concubine Niangniang didn't leave, but she didn't know where she was hiding. ”

"It's better to be like that. ”

Xinglintang.

Because of Xiao Tianli and his Qi Panzhai, I didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning until dawn and got up early. Xinglintang also opened the door early, and occasionally I could see people who came to the clinic with their children in their arms, sweating profusely, looking anxiously at the children in their arms.

The apprentice was busy grabbing medicine while chatting with me, it turned out that there was indeed a village in Qinglong Bridge, but because of the war, it had already been destroyed, and as for the villagers, they had already fled in all directions.

Back at the house, Xiao Tianli was still asleep, and Xiao Chuan pulled me to the yard, "Sister, I want to go to Qinglong Bridge." ”

Seeing that she couldn't wait to return to her hometown, I didn't know how to speak, so I had to say yes: "Okay. ”

Xiao Chuan almost shed tears of excitement, and when we walked to the outer hall, Ah Liang asked, "Are you going to Qinglong Bridge?"

"Yes, take her back and see. I replied, "The man in the house needs to ask you to take care of it." ”

"Don't worry, you just have to go. Ah Liang smiled at us and began to grab the medicine again.

Walking on the crowded street, Xiao Chuan didn't speak, maybe she was fantasizing about the joy of reuniting with her family. I couldn't bear to disturb her, just walked silently with her.

"Sister, you say, is my home still there?" Xiao Chuan suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"I left home because my family couldn't afford to support me, and later, there was another war, and the family must have had a better time......"

"What if your home is gone?"

"What else can I do? Actually, I didn't have any hope at all, thinking that I would be lucky to be able to return to Qinglong Bridge in my lifetime. ”

"Let's go, turn the corner ahead and you'll be at Qinglong Bridge. ”

Leaving the crowded streets, the Qinglong Bridge made of white marble is displayed in front of us. The history of Qinglong Bridge is quite long, and it is still standing on the moat.

That side of Qinglong Bridge has now become a small town, with not many people and very quiet.

Walking in the town, Xiao Chuan has been looking around, this place is not the same as the hometown in her memory, maybe she is looking for a trace of familiarity in her memory.

"Nothing. After walking for a long time, Xiao Chuan said this.

"They may have moved away because of the fighting. I comforted her.

Xiao Chuan shook his head, "Sister, you don't have to comfort me, I have already guessed such an ending, but when I really saw it, I couldn't accept it for a while." ”

"Alright, don't be sad. I will be your relative from now on. ”

Xiao Chuan cheered up and smiled at me, "I'm not sad. Sister, I'll go wherever my sister goes in the future, Xiao Chuan don't want to be separated from her sister. ”

After hearing her words, I chuckled in my heart, in the future, may she go home with me?

"Xiao Chuan, his hometown is a place to belong after all. ”

"Where there are relatives, there is home, and here, there is no home for me. ”

Xiao Chuan does have a point, but she is a person who belongs to this world after all. "Okay, don't be sad, you're willing to follow me, how can I push you out?"

Xiao Chuan smiled again.

"I finally came to Qinglong Bridge, let's have fun and go back. ”

The town is new, even the trees are still small trees that have not grown, and the people are peaceful and stable. It's really a nice place. I want to live and work here in peace, and I don't even want to go back to the dazzling modern society.

We walked and walked to the edge of the town. Xiao Chuan suddenly pointed to a big tree and said, "The locust tree is still there!"

I looked in the direction of her finger and saw that it was an old tree, but half of the locust tree was dead. It was burned by fire.

The other side of the locust tree miraculously survived, and Xiao Chuan walked under the tree with tears in her eyes, stroked the charred half of the tree, and still cried.

"When I was young, I was a childhood sweetheart with my brother of the Feng family, and we often came here to play. ”

"And then?"

"He went to learn the piano from his teacher, and when the war was raging, I also entered the palace. ”

"See you again?"

"I am a slave of the deep palace, how can it be possible to meet? What's more, the world was in turmoil at that time, and I didn't know if he was still alive. ”

"We'll meet eventually. ”

Xiao Chuan took out a handkerchief, took a piece of soil under the locust tree and wrapped it.

"The homeland is in the body, but the lifelong wish is the same. ”
