Lunch was served in the barracks, and the soldiers were all standing to rest, although Li Shuang was worried that the winter moon was approaching this year, the weather was cold, and the Xirong grain was not enough, I was afraid that he would send troops to the border of Dajin to grab grain. But the worry is only worry, there is still more than a month before the real harsh winter, and there is nothing busy in the barracks.

Li Shuang was idle, so she flipped through a small book from a stack of military records.

Li Shuang was raised as a little boy by his own old man, and he was better at martial arts than many young boys, and he didn't retain a few girl's habits, but this book was very much in line with his favorite. Whether it is the fragrant stories that circulate in the market, the past gossip of the merry talents, the grievances and grievances of the chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes, or the anecdotes of the gods and ghosts, she does not pick any of them, and she can watch them with relish.

Saibei is desolate, and these words she brought from Beijing can be used to comfort the loneliness.

Li Shuang was looking at the index finger bitten by the child with relish, and there was a heavy footstep outside "clicking".

Luo Teng didn't knock on the door, and walked in angrily as soon as he lifted the curtain: "General! I said I shouldn't have brought that little kid back today! As soon as he woke up, someone came to complain to Lao Tzu! ”

Li Shuang coughed, quietly hid the book under the table, and then looked up, a serious Wen Luoteng: "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't go to see it, I found a soldier commander to take care of him, the soldier commander ordered two little soldiers to go over, I heard that he lifted the food sent by others, and also beat the two soldiers, and injured people very lightly. According to Lao Tzu's temper, this kind of white-eyed wolf will be directly killed, but it is the general who picked ......it up."

Li Shuang nodded: "Well, I'll take a look." ”

As soon as Li Shuang entered the small camp, she was really stunned, only to see that the child was covered with ropes, wrapped like a dumpling, and thrown on the bed, leaving only his head to gasp. The food on the ground was trampled on a wolf bèi, and a room of people surrounded him, everyone was still a little guarded, you can imagine how tossed this child before.

Li Shuang felt funny: "What is this for?" ”

The sergeant in the room then turned his head to look at her, and hurriedly gave way to salute.

And when Li Shuang's figure appeared outside the tent, the child's eyes had already fallen on Li Shuang. At this moment, there was no cover, and the child stared at her eyes unscrupulously, and the complicated feelings in his eyes were not at all like the expression that a child would reveal.

With just one glance, Li Shuang could see that this child's previous experience must not be simple.

She glanced at the food scattered on the ground and asked the child, "Are you afraid that people will poison you?" ”

The soldier commander scratched his head on the side: "General, this kid seems to be dumb, why didn't he say anything just now......"

"Yes."

The child made a clear and distinct sound, as if it had hit the commander in the face, and the commander turned his head to glance at him, gritted his teeth, and stepped aside without speaking.

Li Shuang smiled when she heard this: "Do you need to poison you to kill you?" This room is full of knives, which one can't stab you? Li Shuang said, casually pulled out the knife of a sergeant beside her, when everyone was still stunned, she waved her big knife forward, everyone saw this big open and close move, and their faces turned pale with fright, only to say that the general who cherished the military rations was going to split the child.

But after the sound of "swish", I saw that the hemp rope that bound the child was cut by Li Shuang's big knife, and the strength and distance were exactly the same, and the child was not injured.

The broadsword was taken off his hand and neatly returned to the sergeant's scabbard.

The two of them were fine, and the sergeant holding the scabbard was sweating in shock.

The child was still staring straight at her.

If Li Shuang's big opening and closing move just now was very scary, then in the face of Li Shuang's extremely powerful knife, this child did not dodge or hide, and he didn't even blink his eyes, which is not a terrifying move.

Because if he didn't see that Li Shuang wouldn't kill him, he didn't have any fear at all.

For a child, either possibility is shocking.

And this was also the shock of others, Li Shuang only squatted down in front of him, looked at him levelly, and looked at him peacefully: "I don't know what you have experienced before, but now here, no one owes you anything, and no one wants to harm you, I picked you up out of moral conscience." Now your lunch has been spilled by you, so you didn't have lunch today. Military rations are precious, and as a punishment, you won't have anything to eat tonight. No one will settle with me. ”

After Li Shuang finished speaking, she turned around and went out. The commander hurriedly followed, and after a while, her voice came from the account: "You big men, tie up a child like this, do you lose the people of my Changfeng Camp?" ”

The commander had to complain: "General, you don't know how powerful this kid is......"

"Come on, go find your own camp."

The sound outside was silent, and the sergeants saw that the child was sitting obediently on the bed and did not move, so they also withdrew.

In the quiet tent, the child looked down at the rope that had been cut by the sharp blade, and he grabbed one and shook it in his hand—the rope she had cut. Why, did he think that even the rope she cut had her breath......

It's tempting enough to make him addicted.

In the afternoon, Li Shuang practiced at the training ground.

In the evening, Li Shuang returned to the camp, she passed by the child's tent, her footsteps just paused, hesitating whether to go to the tent to see the child, after all, she was also picked up like this when she was a child, for such a child, it is difficult for her not to bring her own feelings to pay more attention.

As soon as she walked to the door of the tent, the curtain of the camp was lifted with a "bang".

The child stood barefoot on the ground, looking up at her, his eyes full of her and the sunset.

Li Shuang was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Your insight is quite good, you can feel that there are people outside in the tent." ”

"I feel like it's you out there." He said.

Li Shuang's eyebrows moved, and she squatted down funny: "Oh? How do you feel it? You really have a wolf nose and can smell it? ”

"Well, I can smell you."

Li Shuang felt more and more interesting: "Tell me, what does I taste like?" ”

"Special ......"

Special blood fragrance.

The child lowered his head and looked at her hand, Li Shuang's index finger was still wrapped in a white bandage, and the aftertaste of her blood could still be removed from her mouth. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the back of her hand, and the place where his fingertips touched the skin on the back of her hand suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, and there was a burst of numbness, and the tip of his heart seemed to be wriggling, tickling, and about to break through the ground.

Being touched by a child like this, Li Shuang did not feel offended, but found it interesting:

"Special? Could it be that you sucked my blood when you were unconscious, and then confessed to the Lord? She said this jokingly, but the child was stunned and looked up at her blankly.

Li Shuang didn't care about his momentary stupidity, but looked at the child's thin hand, and felt a little distressed. Thinking of her childhood, she was moved by compassion for a while.

She looked left and right, led him into the tent, and got a lump of candy out of her sleeve. Stuffed into the palm of the child's hand, "Eat quietly." I gave a military order not to let people bring you food, and if others found out, they would slap me in the face. ”

The child took the candy, but didn't eat it, Li Shuang wanted to say a few more words to him, but heard Qin Lan's voice outside: "Did you see the general?" ”

Li Shuang looked back at the outside of the camp, turned her head and rubbed the child's head:

"Today, maybe no one will make it clear to you, this place is the Changfeng camp of the Lucheng garrison of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I am the Changfeng battalion guard Li Shuang, if you can trust me, you will find a time to report your life experience, if you have relatives and parents, I will send you to meet them, if not, I can also help you find a family in Lucheng to adopt you. Give you time to think slowly, think clearly, and come to me. ”

Li Shuang stood up, turned around and walked out of the tent, the child almost subconsciously reached out to pull the hem of her clothes, not wanting her to leave, but at this time Li Shuang had already lifted the curtain of the camp, and the light of the sunset outside slanted in.

Twilight stung the child's pupils, and the frequency of his heartbeat suddenly faltered, and his whole body froze, and he didn't grasp the hem of Li Shuang's clothes after a pause.

Li Shuang went out and greeted Qin Lan directly: "I'm here, what's the matter?" ”

"The little boy's carriage has arrived." Qin Lan replied while leading Li Shuang to walk away quickly.

The heavy curtain hung down, hiding the child's figure in the tent, and no one saw that in the tent blocking the sunset, the child slowly knelt on one knee with his heart covered, his breathing began to become rapid, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

A red flame streak began to slowly grow from the hem of his robe, crawling over his neck and cheeks to the corners of his eyes.

His body......

In the ...... of expansion

At the entrance of the Changfeng camp, the vermilion carriage stopped, and the young man in the fox fur dodged the servant's hand and jumped out of the carriage by himself. He took a deep breath,

Hearing the footsteps of a man in military armor from a distance, the beautiful little boy looked up, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Sister." ”

He wanted to run to Li Shuang's place, but before he could run two steps, Li Shuang walked in front of him, rolled his middle finger and flicked it on his head, the voice was crisp and loud, the young man grinned in pain, "hissed" took two breaths of cold air, covered his head and rubbed it vigorously:

"Sister, you're more energetic than before......

He muttered, but it didn't make Li Shuang's distress, but it provoked her to snort coldly: "I can be even stronger, do you want to try?" ”

Li Ting hurriedly shook his head: "Don't try, don't try." He looked at Li Shuang, pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful, "Sister, I miss you, you see you haven't been home for two or three years." ”

Li Shuang has always eaten soft rather than hard, and when she saw him like this, she couldn't get angry. only forced himself to say stubbornly: "If you are willful, the old man will follow you." I don't care if something happens here! ”

"I know Sister won't leave me alone!" The young man smiled brightly, his eyes were crooked, and for a while he added three points of temperature to the cold plug, making it difficult for Li Shuang to be angry.

"Alright, alright." Qin Lan stepped forward to play a round game, "General, it's cold outside, let's let the little boy go to the tent to sit first." ”

After entering the main camp, dinner has been served, the food in the barracks is simple, each with a small table, and after eating quietly for a while, Luo Teng suddenly lifted the curtain and entered: "General." He saluted, patted the snow on his body, and stepped forward and said, "General, the kid you picked up is gone." ”

Li Shuang was stunned when she heard this: "It's gone?" How is it missing? ”

"Not long ago, the soldiers passing by his tent heard a strange noise, so they went into the tent to see, he was gone, and now everyone has been looking in the camp for a while, but still no one has been seen."

Li Shuang frowned, when Luo Teng lifted the curtain, but seeing that it was already dark outside, and it was still snowing, he ran out of the barracks with a child, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to bear the cold: "Let someone look for it outside the camp again." ”

Luo Teng glanced at his mouth: "What else are you looking for, general, according to me, this is a cub of a white-eyed wolf, unfamiliar with it, if he wants to run, let him run, and save rations, this year it is cold, but there is no surplus food to support idlers." ”

"Do your best to find it, and if you really can't find it, just follow your fate."

Luo Teng took the order and left.

Li Ting, who was sitting on the side, asked Li Shuang: "Sister, did you pick up a child recently?" ”

"Hmm." Li Shuang responded, but her mind was not on this matter, she looked at the weather outside the camp, only said that the heavy snow began to fall so early this winter, it was too cold, and the cities in the Great Jin Dynasty had Jiangnan grain and rice supplements, but Xirong was afraid that it would be difficult to spend the cold at all......

Poverty leads to change, and there is a famine in Xirong this year, and I am afraid that there will be a big battle to be fought......

"Li Ting." While eating, Li Shuang said indifferently, "In Saibei, you are only allowed to stay for one month at most, and after one month, I will send a small team to send you back to Beijing." ”

When Li Ting heard this, his eyes widened: "Why! I've been walking for more than half a month, and I've just arrived...... You're going to let me stay for a month......"

"It's good to keep you in for a month."

Seeing Li Shuang's tough attitude, Li Tingden was also anxious: "Father said I can stay until I want to leave!" He is the generalissimo of the world, you have to listen to him. ”

"There will be a fate outside, this is the Changfeng Battalion, I have the final say." Li Shuang's tone was domineering and arbitrary, and she glanced at him obliquely, "If you talk back, I'll send you away tomorrow." ”

"Sister, you're unreasonable!"

"Yes, it's just unreasonable, how are you doing?"

“……”

Li Ting was forced to the end of the road, but he had nothing to say, he gritted his teeth, "I'll go back, and my sister will go back with me." ”

Li Shuang pursed his lips and sneered coldly: "Boy, I haven't been beaten by me for a few years, so you forgot your sister and my temper?" ”

Li Ting swallowed his saliva, and fell silent like a frosted eggplant, and for a while he didn't seem to be in the mood to eat, so he only poked the rice with chopsticks.

Li Shuang only said that he was a child's temper, and he was not used to him, and he was satisfied with eating vegetables, but after a while, Li Ting actually called her again: "Sister." ”

Li Shuang ignored him.

"You want me to go back to Beijing because I think it's hard and dangerous." He paused and said, "You know, when you were outside the Saiwai, my father and I were also worried about you. ”

Li Shuang was unmoved: "It's useless to talk about this, if you are really worried, don't run to me to drag me back, go home honestly and let the old man show you the door, help him win over contacts, let his position as a general sit firmly, and I will be safer here." ”

Li Ting: "......"

This is said directly, but Qin Lan in the camp tent has been Li Shuang's confidant for many years, he only lowered his eyes to eat, like an old monk, and he didn't hear it.

"You didn't get married, you let me get married!" The warmth card couldn't be played, and Li Ting was furious, "I know why you don't want to go back to Beijing, you're just afraid of seeing the prince's brother!" It's because the prince's brother is married, so you plan to avoid him from now on and not return to Beijing! ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shuang's body stiffened slightly, and he was silent.

Qin Lan put the bowl down, and said solemnly on the side: "Little boy, the general is sitting in the Changfeng Camp to guard the Great Jin Dynasty, how can you say such things to misunderstand the general?" ”

"I ......" Li Ting's mouth moved, and he glanced at Li Shuang carefully, and he also knew that he was talking seriously, so he was silent.

When the atmosphere in the camp was awkward, Li Shuang suddenly felt that the sideburns in his ears moved, and there was a wind blowing in from behind.

Li Shuang's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, the chopsticks in his hand were thrown straight behind him.

Everyone had not yet realized her intention to move, and when Qin Lan looked back, he found that the place where Li Shuang's chopsticks were thrown out was actually cut by someone from the outside, and it was just for people to watch and peep on that side.

"What a thief!" Qin Lan shouted, and a sergeant immediately poured into the account outside, and the fire outside the account was also burned, but no one was found outside.
