Chapter 228: Turning in circles
"I have been following my two brothers in the barracks since I was sensible, and after a long time of mixing, I unknowingly fell in love with the barracks life. I like the frankness and openness in the barracks, I like the uninhibited in the barracks, and I like the blood and passion of wearing armor and going into battle for thousands of miles.
Over time, the men in the barracks didn't treat me as a girl. Qi Yoyo gently combed her long hair, and her face showed a look of memory.
"My friendship with Li Haotian was established in the barracks, and we often talked about the life in the barracks, the battles on the battlefield, and even fought a few battles on the sand table.
Especially after I was ordered by my mother not to set foot in the barracks for half a step, and he had just returned from training in the Black Armor Army in the south, bringing with him the life of the Black Armor Army that I was not familiar with and longed for, so the exchanges between us became more frequent.
So in the eyes of some people, some rumors came out. ”
"I was afraid that Li Haotian would have some misunderstandings after listening to the gossip, so I explained it to him face to face, saying that there is only friendship between us, just like buddies in the army, there is no love for children, and he also readily agreed to it in person, saying that he would only treat me as a buddy.
And since then, when we talk together, I will let the maid wait aside, so as not to gossip after being seen by someone who cares. ”
"Therefore, the relationship between me and Li Haotian is not at all what Li Haoran said. What is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she is simply making something out of nothing and chewing the root of her tongue. I explained it that day, but you didn't believe it. ”
"Who told you to dig a pit for me first, how can I believe you? Besides, what do you have to do with him, and what do you have to do with me?" Zhang Xiaopaw said as he touched the tip of his nose. said so, but after listening to Qi Yoyo's explanation, there was an indescribable joy in his heart.
"From today onwards, I am your woman, and you said it yourself. Now that I've become your woman, of course I'll have to explain some of the unclear relationships, otherwise who knows what you, a cautious man, will think about. Qi Yoyo snickered, although it was a joke, but the words also made her face flush with shame, maybe it was not just a joke, otherwise why would her heart pound after speaking.
"You, didn't you ask me to say that, you, you're really?!" Zhang Xiaopaw was a little inarticulate, his cheeks were red, and he didn't know whether he was angry, frightened, or excited.
"Growing so big, out of my father and brother, you are the first man to enter my boudoir. Qi Yoyo said suddenly.
"Cough" Zhang Xiaopaw touched the tip of his nose and coughed dryly, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Don't change the topic, you haven't answered my question yet." Why haven't I worn it in more than two years?"
"My mother gave me a grounding order, not allowing me to step into the barracks for half a step, let me stay at home honestly to learn embroidery, I can't wear armor and embroidery, right?" Qi Yoyo smiled bitterly with a gloomy expression.
"Is it because of this injury?" Zhang Xiaopu stretched out his finger and stroked the patched marks on the armor.
"Yes. Qi Yoyo nodded and said, "Two years ago, in mid-February, news came from the Pingsi Prefecture in Yanbei that a group of rogues had appeared there, often entering the village to loot, burning, killing, and committing adultery.
As soon as Yanchengfu received the news, he immediately sent the troops of three regiments of lieutenants to clear out the Liukou, and I was among them. At that time, I was already the position of the uncle, in charge of a hundred people, not by virtue of the false title obtained by my father and brother, but by the ability to fight. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Yoyo couldn't help but raise his chin slightly, revealing arrogance, and continued: "A group of rogues who are not in the climate have dispatched the troops of three captains' regiments, which can be said to be killing chickens with knives, which is intended to train soldiers.
No one took this group of rogues seriously, and the fact is that there are more than 200 rogues in total, which is unbearable
With one blow, it took less than a quarter of an hour for the army to wipe out the lair.
However, while cleaning up the battlefield, a thief who pretended to be dead was discovered by one of my brothers. This person is the leader of this gang of thieves, cultivated to the six heavens of the sea realm, broke out, and killed more than ten people in an instant.
I was stabbed in the chest by him, and I was almost split in two, and I took a turn around the ghost gate to save me. Although his life was saved, the scar on his chest was left because his knife was quenched with poison. After that, my mother gave me a grounding order, not allowing me to set foot in the barracks for half a step, and then I secretly went once, and she committed suicide by hanging herself at home. According to his father, it took half an hour to save him. Frightened, I knelt on the ground and cried and promised that I would never set foot in the barracks again.
Now that I think about it, I was obviously deceived by the two of them singing double reeds. Mother, she is a half-step power, even if she hangs on the rope and swings, she can't hang to death. ”
Qi Yoyo was so angry that the two rows of silver teeth creaked.
"That's because they care about and love you, and they are afraid that something will happen to you, and they are forced to make this decision. Zhang Xiaopaw said.
"I know. Qi Yoyo nodded with a smile, "I was forced to hang myself in half a step, what else can I say." ”
However, just listening to her tone, her eyes became firm and sharp, and she said in a condensed voice: "However, care and love cannot be the reason for them to control my life, everyone has the right to choose their own life, and they should have their own wonderful life, right?"
"Yes. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded.
"So" Qi Yoyo wrapped the combed long hair, grabbed it in his hand, pulled it to the front of his shoulder, picked up a sharp knife in his right hand, clicked, and the long hair broke in response, and the waist-length long hair was only shoulder-length.
"What are you doing?!" Zhang Xiaopaw was taken aback by her sudden move, and wanted to stop it but it was too late. The long hair fell out, which made him inexplicably heartbroken.
Qi Yoyo tied up the broken hair in his hand with a red rope, put it in the drawer of the dresser, turned his head and smiled at Zhang Xiaopu, and said: "The hair is too long, it is inconvenient to wear armor and armor, and it is inconvenient to fight on the battlefield, so it is better to cut it." So you've earned it. ”
"What?" Zhang Xiaopu looked at Qi Yoyo with a question mark in his head, Qi Yoyo's topic jumped too much, and his brain didn't keep up.
"The slave family has waist-length hair and dances for you, and the golden enchantment is in full view of you, and you are the only one who can see it, and now no one wants to see it, is it wrong to say that you have earned it?"
Zhang Xiaopaw was stunned, his fingers drew two circles in the air, and asked, "Are you dancing?" ”
Qi Yoyo glared at Zhang Xiaopaw viciously, trying to find a needle and thread to sew Zhang Xiaopaw's vicious mouth shut.
Dancing and embroidery are her two major sore spots. After learning for more than two years, I only learned to dance in circles, not to mention embroidery, just to show off the pattern to a general outline. So Zhang Xiaopaw spun in circles, really sprinkling salt on her wounds.
"By the way, you're going to go to the battlefield?!" Zhang Xiaopaw asked, thought about it, and added, "Your short hair is still bright and beautiful." ”
"Thank you. Qi Yoyo thanked him, then raised his chin, and said proudly: "Of course, I want to be a general! This is my lifelong wish, even if I die on the battlefield, I will not regret it." ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiaopaw, swept up and down, shook his head, and said with a regretful face: "It's a pity, I'm afraid you won't be able to be a general in this life." ”
"Why?" Zhang Xiaopaw was puzzled.
"Because your name is Zhang Xiaopai, a pawn, you are destined to be a pawn in this life. Think about it, when your peak was about to promote you, as soon as he read your name, the head of the pawn, the chief of the pawn, the captain of the pawn, the captain of the pawn, the indescribable awkwardness, and thought about it,
With a stroke of the name, let's change someone to promote it. Qi Yoyo covered his mouth and smiled.
"You know what. Zhang Xiaopaw was unconvinced, "My name is Xiaopaw, the word is very useful, and the pawn is very useful." ”
"Giggles, a pawn is very useful, isn't that still a pawn?"
"It seems so. Zhang Xiaopaw said depressedly.
Qi Yoyo coiled her hair, inserted a hairpin, and walked slowly towards Zhang Xiaopu, her cheeks would be red every time she took a step forward, and when she stood in front of Zhang Xiaopu, it was already Xia Fei's cheeks, illuminated by the flames of the oil lamp, as if they were about to drip water.
She stretched out her arms and passed under Zhang Xiaopaw's ribs, as if she was in the martial arts training ground, hugged and fell into Zhang Xiaopaw's arms, her red lips were attached to Zhang Xiaopaw's ear, she exhaled like an orchid, and said shyly and apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't be your woman until I achieve my life's wish." But when the war is over, whether I become a female general or not, I will go to you and become your woman. ”
Zhang Xiaopaw was a little cramped, a little throbbing, a little uneasy and apologetic, there was already a figure in his heart, although it had been separated by two lifetimes, but it still occupied the most important position in his heart.
But in the end, he still raised his arms, gently hugged Qi Yoyo's shoulders, and said, "No matter what, survive." ”
"Do the best I can. Qi Yoyo smiled.
......
Although Yu Wenrui's courtship ended awkwardly like a farce, it did not make the banquet end awkwardly, and the atmosphere gradually became lively as everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps.
Yu Wenrui's bearing is extraordinary, without the slightest embarrassment and annoyance, he talks very happily with the people around him, and some come over with a wine glass to talk and make friends, he also does not refuse to come, and talks with him freely, attracting a group of people to give a thumbs up and praise frequently.
"Liu Shujin, my face of the Dragon Slaying Sect is about to be lost by you!" An angry scolding sound sounded in the restaurant in the venue, and the person who scolded was afraid of attracting onlookers, so he deliberately lowered his voice, and only a few people nearby could hear it.
"Senior Brother Wu, I just want to get some pastries and desserts and go back to my younger brothers and sisters to taste. The person who was scolded said that his name was Liu Shujin, a native of Yancheng, who lived in Nanjiucheng and was poor. He was holding a small cloth bag with a few pieces of pastry in it.
Five years ago, the Dragon Slaying Sect came to Yancheng to recruit disciples, and he was sent by his parents to try his luck, but he didn't expect good luck to come, and he was selected by a master of the Dragon Slaying Sect and accepted as a disciple. This time, the disciple of the sect came to Yancheng for training, because his family was in Yancheng, and his qualifications were acceptable, which was worthy of cultivation, so he asked him to come over.
The biggest purpose of his coming to the banquet today is to take some delicate and delicious pastries and desserts back and give them to his younger brothers and sisters at home to taste, he knows that it is a shame to do so, so he waited for a long time before secretly doing it, but he was unlucky, and he was caught by his senior brother just after taking a few pastries.
"Get out!" The senior brother surnamed Wu scolded sharply, his face was cloudy, he reached out and grabbed the cloth bag in Liu Shujin's hand, grabbed the bottom of the bag and shook the pastries inside to the ground, and then threw the cloth bag on his face, stretched out his hand and pointed at the door of the martial arts training ground, signaling him to leave here quickly.
Besides, why not take them back to your younger brothers and sisters to eat? What shame is there for you, throwing what you eat on the ground and wasting food. ”
"Who are you? This is a private matter of my Dragon Slaying Sect, and I don't need your Excellency to worry about it. The senior brother surnamed Wu looked at the nosy unfamiliar face that came out and said coldly.
"In the lower cow Guangmao. There are people who shovel uneven roads, and there are people who take care of uneven things. You're not doing it right, so what if I say a few words?"
"Senior Brother Wu, he came with Zhang Xiaopu, and he made us wait for one of the three people for a long time. "A disciple of the Dragon Slaying Sect next to Senior Brother Wu recognized Niu Dawa.
