Chapter 104: From the Past to the Present, and to the Future
The little shepherd boy tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, and when the stars fell, he picked up a kitchen knife, and entered the Roman tent alone, brandishing the kitchen knife in his hand, one knife after another, until he reached the outside of the Roman army camp, and cut off a good head of Julius Caesar, the Roman holy emperor who was sitting in the big tent.
Holding the head, he turned around and killed again, until he was outside the Xiliang camp, exhausted, and sat on the ground panting for breath.
Although it was later learned that the beheaded emperor was a stand-in for the suspicious Roman emperor, it invisibly boosted the morale of the Xiliang army, and they no longer regarded the fierce Roman army as an insurmountable flood beast.
Caesar was also alarmed by the shepherd boy's solitary battle, and he slowed down his march and sent the eight paladins from the distant Roman Empire to guard the Roman city-states to protect his life, and his ambition was to build an empire that would leave a mark on the Western scriptures, rather than die at the hands of the so-called swordsman.
Eight paladins rushed to the Western Regions, and the paladins had infinite light hidden in their bodies, and they were transcendent beings beyond the Senate and the city-state, not bound by the federal code, and had the right to interpret their own actions and thoughts independently.
Caesar personally greeted the eight Holy Sons, who were said to have been cleansed by Allah himself, and secretly planned to booby trap the little cook of the Western Liang Army.
Whenever Caesar saw the ordinary face of the little shepherd boy, an incomprehensible absurd delusion always rose in his heart, and he was a little unsure of how many such ordinary people there were in the land of the East. There is no need for a lot, if you can compete with the number of eight paladins, then it is tantamount to a fool's dream to attack the fertile soil that the Han people call themselves the Central Plains.
The plan was a success. The simple little shepherd boy walked out of the Xiliang military camp with a small vegetable cart and came to the stream not far away to wash vegetables, he could have done without these trivial things, but he felt that he would not know anything except these, so he could not do nothing in the barracks, then he would feel uncomfortable.
The King of Xiliang had already transferred him from the Huotou Army and arranged for a vanguard general. But he shook his head like a rattle. Say, I can't do this, it's better to cook. 、
Baoyu touched his chin for a long time. The thief said awkwardly: "I know a lot of beautiful girls in Liangzhou City, why don't I introduce you to a few?" I don't dare to say more, but there are no less than two pairs of ladies or small jasper who can get their hands on both talents. ”
This famous King of Xiliang thinks that you are stunned and still obedient when you hear the girl, and everything in the world is the most beautiful but powerful. One of the colored words is a knife on the head. But there are not countless people rushing forward for her like a carp crossing the river.
The little shepherd boy shook his head and said, "I'm not rare, I already have someone I like in my heart."
The young King Xiliang couldn't help but shake his head, this young man was still too young, he had never seen a beautiful woman refuse so simply, so at the critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies, it was extremely ridiculous for people to invite a few beautiful girls with outstanding talents and appearances from Liangzhou. Dance in the middle of the venue.
The little shepherd boy blushed and stole a few glances. I admired how beautiful these women were.
Xiliang Wang Baoyu asked happily, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”
The little shepherd boy nodded quietly, and couldn't help but peek a few more times.
Baoyu was excited, laughed, and when everything was silent, the little shepherd boy almost jumped to his feet and cursed him with one sentence: "It's as beautiful as the big rooster with colorful feathers in Xiaohua's house." ”
He has never forgotten the great ideal and ambition of returning to the village to be a cook, cooking for his parents and Xiaohua, the woman in the field is indeed beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is none of his business.
While washing and picking vegetables by the stream, the little shepherd boy was suddenly slightly stunned, stood up, reached out to wipe his wet hands on his clothes, held the kitchen knife at his waist with one hand, and looked at the end of the path.
At the end of the trail came eight strangers in fancy costumes, walking slowly, but in the blink of an eye they were beside the little shepherd boy.
It is rumored that the battle was earth-shattering, the glory was great, the earth shook the mountains, the wind and thunder gusted, and the pass that the Xiliang army used as a cover to connect the Western Regions and the Western Liang - the Tianshan Mountains - was flattened from the mountainside, and the snow of the Tianshan Mountains that had not changed for thousands of years was flying all over the sky, and it rained for three days and three nights in the bright season that had just entered the golden autumn.
The little shepherd boy was covered in blood, and he wondered what was going on with Xiaohua.
The Eight Holy Knights looked like a saint of mercy on the roof of the church in the west, looking at the little shepherd boy with condescending pity.
At the critical moment of life and death, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Yubao, who had returned from the South China Sea, he would have provoked a hundred zhang gangan with a sword, and saved the little shepherd boy while the eight holy knights were slightly distracted, and it was difficult to save the little shepherd boy's life.
The eight paladins retreated, and Jade Treasure retreated to the barracks tent.
Xiliang Wang Baoyu looked at Fan Rong'er holding Yubao's arm and slightly bulging little belly, and said to herself: "This feels really amazing to his grandmother." ”
The little shepherd boy slept for ten days and ten nights, and the first thing he did when he woke up was, "Write a letter to Xiaohua." ”
Fan Rong'er, who was already pregnant with Liujia, pursed her lips and smiled, supported her waist with one hand, blinked her eyes, and asked, "Who is Xiaohua?" ”
The little shepherd boy's face was slightly red, and he couldn't see it when he was covered by bandages all over his body, and he couldn't say a reason for a long time.
Fan Rong'er personally sharpened the ink and helped the little shepherd boy write letters, and the little shepherd boy dictated some trivial things in life, sesame mung beans, bit by bit, like a chattering old woman.
Since she became pregnant, Fan Rong'er, who has become more and more uncertain about her temperament, is crying profusely while writing, trembling all over, it is a liver and intestines, tactful and miserable, it seems that the words written on the letter paper are more entangled than Lin Wan'er's "Stone Record" that came to an abrupt end when she wrote "Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript to break her infatuation".
The little shepherd boy was lying on the bed, his head was not enough, and he couldn't figure it out, why was this woman crying? What is there to cry about? Writing a letter to Xiaohua is something he feels very happy about. He looked at the woman in front of him and shook his head, stopping occasionally. Take care of the troublesome woman's mood.
Yubaole, who was standing on the side, walked out and said comfortingly: "Rong'er, don't cry. It's not good for the body and the baby. ”
Fan Rong'er turned around and criticized Yubao for no reason, saying that she had known each other for so many years, and she had never seen you write such a sincere letter, she only knew that standing aside was silly and happy, what was there to be a coke, and then turned her head to face the little shepherd boy, and her face became tender and concerned: "Come on." You go on and say, I'll keep writing. ”
Yubao sighed in her heart, but she didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction and self-esteem on her face.
After the epistle was written. The more Fan Ronger looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more she couldn't put it down, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to stay by herself, and then wrote a new letter for the little shepherd boy that was fleshy and affectionate. The beginning begins with "I miss you". ended with "not seen for a day, such as every three autumns", and Yubao had goosebumps for a while.
He sighed and said, "Rong'er, it's not appropriate to exchange other people's letters like this." But as soon as he looked up and saw Fan Rong'er's murderous eyes, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "However, this little shepherd boy writes too much, and it is difficult to read. It is far less sincere than Rong'er's letter, which is tear-jerking. ”
Fan Rong'er snorted: "Husband." Go and make my bed, I'm going to sleep. Yubao obediently made the bed for Fan Rong'er, and she also got into the quilt and warmed the quilt for his wife for a long time, becoming a veritable "little girl who warms the bed".
Later, Fan Rong'er also transcribed the letter, but changed some of its titles, snatched the authorship of the little shepherd boy, and sent it back to Lanzhou for Lin Wan'er to see.
Lin Wan'er, who was in Lanzhou, received Fan Rong'er's letter for the first time, and always felt that there was fraud in it, so she hid far away, and asked people to open the letter, and after half a day, no vision happened, so she came out and read the letter through.
Lin Wan'er's face became more and more exciting, changing and changing, and finally muttered: "Fan Rong'er's girl has changed sex?" Why do you love me so much, the letters are very well written, the love between the lines is sincere, full of love, this thing is strange. ”
And Fan Rong'er in the Xiliang camp was chatting with Yubao: "Your unruly eldest sister must feel strange now, she will be strange, hehe." As he spoke, he ate a date with a smug face.
A lot of things happened then, until after the Great Wei State had won a great victory in an indisputable victory posture, the little shepherd boy, who had already been called the firehead general, quietly rolled up and rolled up his own clothes along the familiar road home to his hometown.
Since the little shepherd boy left, his family's life has become more and more unstable, his parents are getting older, the farm work in the field is not smooth, and the trivial things at home are also inadequate.
But fortunately, there was a little flower girl to help, not only busy with the work of the family, but also the work in the field, never felt hard, and often sent some eggs to eat, but sometimes alone to the Lop Nur called the sea of death alone for a long time.
Xiaohua's behavior of "eating inside and out" seriously stimulated her father, who had a long beard, and locked her in the house and did not let her go out.
I could only look at the back of Xiaohua who fled again and again, and sighed, "Before I got married, it became water spilled out." ”
Xiaohua became a joke in the village, and the little shepherd boy didn't know if she would come back alive, but she worked hard every day, stupid or not.
When Xiaohua heard these words, she couldn't care so much, and still picked up the basin in the little shepherd's house and went to the river to wash clothes.
After receiving Fan Ronger's explicit ghostwritten letter, she asked the literate gentleman in the village to read it, and when she heard the sentence "I miss you", she couldn't help blushing and spitting, and scolded "shameless" in front of people, but she was happy in her heart.
Day after day, thoughts are already crawling in my heart like a creeper, lush.
He finally returned, carrying a broken bag and pushing a small cart, and walked slowly from the sunset, exactly as he had left.
The little shepherd boy looked at Xiaohua silly, and Xiaohua looked down at her toes and said nothing.
The cart was full of eggs, he pushed it back from the Xiliang military tent camp, and when he left, he thought about it and wanted to bring something to Xiaohua, but he didn't think about it when he broke his head, and finally secretly pushed a cart of eggs, and the red eggs were wiped clean.
He went to Xiaohua's house to propose, and Xiaohua's father took a cart of eggs in a loud voice. but did not agree to the marriage.
He asked, "Do you have merit in joining the army?" ”
The little shepherd boy scratched his head and said, "No, just cook on the fire." ”
Xiaohua's father asked again, "Can you save the silver taels?" ”
The little shepherd boy bowed his head and shook it: "No." ”
Xiaohua's father looked at the little shepherd boy: "Hey. Your car of eggs was given to you by Xiaohua over the years, you go, I don't want to see you again. ”
The little shepherd boy comforted the little flower who was crying: "It's okay, I can wait." ”
In private, Xiaohua's father kept shaking his head, thinking to himself how can this make me feel at ease to marry my daughter to you, and I have to go through experience.
However, he has been singing all his life with a black face, but he has never told anyone what is in his heart.
Later. The little shepherd boy became the cook of the villagers, and invited him to take charge of every happy event. Some trivial silver was also given a lot, and he could also ask for some rouge gouache and good food, and he sent them to Xiaohua's house.
Xiaohua's father accepted it with a serious face.
The bully in the neighboring village took a fancy to Xiaohua, so he stood up. Beat the opponent to pieces. was brought to the county government by others, and he lost all the money he had accumulated.
He was very distressed and didn't dare to go to Xiaohua's house again, but Xiaohua's father kept nodding, and the boy grew a lot.
The bully was unwilling, and took a group of people to provoke, but he didn't expect to go three times and come back three times, bringing five people for the first time. The second time he brought fifteen people, and the third time he brought fifty-five people.
The bully wondered, "This is really fucking evil." Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil. ”
The fourth time, he gathered the whole village, but when he walked to the entrance of the village, he was frightened half to death by the mighty army with knives, and at the front was Xu Lin Baoyu, the only king with a different surname in the Great Wei Kingdom, and behind him was Lin Yubao, the first in the world, and Fan Rong'er, the famous talented woman.
Xiliang Wang Baoyu, who was dressed in a python robe, hammered the little shepherd boy on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, I ran away without saying a word, if I hadn't heard that there were heroes fighting and brawling and overturning fifty people by one person, I wouldn't have known you were here." ”
The little shepherd boy scratched his head, as ignorant as ever.
King Xiliang personally came to the door to ask for marriage, and the silk and satin alone were moved into three large boxes, and he sat arrogantly and patted the table: "This king is for his brother to propose, this is part of the bride price, and the rest will come later." ”
After speaking, he took a sip of the bad tea from the countryside, was so bitter that he couldn't help frowning, and ordered the people around him to bring three truckloads of good Biluochun from Liangzhou, two as a bride price, and one car as a gargle for himself.
Where did Xiaohua's father see this kind of posture, and hurriedly kowtowed, but after standing up, he beat him to death and did not agree to this marriage.
King Xiliang raised his eyebrows, and his face was displeased: "How can I get it?" dislikes the lack of bride price, or the incompetence of the king's main marriage. ”
Fan Rong'er was also angry, and stuffed the newborn Xiao Wanrong into Yubao's arms, making Xiao Wanrong cry, and raised her foot to kick this black-faced man who didn't know what to do.
Xiaohua's father walked up to the little shepherd boy, knelt down with a plop, and said: "It's because I have eyes and don't know Taishan, but Xiaohua can't marry you, if you are still that stupid boy, I can rest assured that Xiaohua will be handed over to you." But your status is noble, and I don't have to worry about food or clothing for a lifetime with you, and I can also follow the light, and I can enjoy endless glory and wealth, but I am such a girl, kind and dead-hearted, if you are three wives and four concubines, she will definitely not be able to fight those thoughtful women, and if you are wronged, she will not dare to say, let alone say. But I can't stand being a father, I'd rather let her suffer a little in this life, than I don't want her to be wronged, in the final analysis, I will always be her father, and I will always be her backer. ”
Fan Rong'er lifted her foot and put it back again.
The little shepherd boy couldn't turn his head again, he couldn't figure it out, he was still the same little shepherd boy, how could he have changed. He walked in front of Xiaohua, boldly held Xiaohua's hand, and did not promise to make an oath, but from childhood to growing up, from growing up to the present, from now on, from the future to the future, chattering, like an old woman.
Xiaohua cried, Xiaohua's father also cried, and Fan Rong'er cried the most.
Yubao looked at this posture and sighed secretly: "It's broken, and it will inevitably fall for a while." ”
The rest of the story is reasonable, but two small things are very interesting.
Lin Wan'er, who knew that there were two people, Little Shepherd Boy and Little Flower, always shook her head and said a word of nonsense: "Tsk, this name is really domineering, Xiaohua, Xiaohua, just from the name, it is a top school flower, much better than my name." ”
Another thing is that the world's No. 1 Yubao and Grilled Chicken Hero Sweet Potato both agreed that the little shepherd boy was their junior brother, and the two argued for a long time, because the little shepherd boy's swordsmanship constantly has the shadow of Li Mubai, and there is Zhao Jianchen's demeanor, but in the end, when the little shepherd boy chose to take advantage of the weapon, he was stunned to choose Xiliang's world-famous silver spear - the blade of the tiger bear Wei Song!
