That's the gift.

It turns out that this is the gift.

The brothers who were still immersed in Fang Cai's words were still stunned.

The hoarse and ungraceful words of the woman in her ears echoed repeatedly.

The deserters, although they fled out of desperation, they did flee.

When I was about to die in an argument with someone on the way to escape, I was not afraid, but I felt unwilling.

Those who are soldiers deserve to die on the battlefield.

When I was poor before, I didn't feel unwilling, because I felt that one day I would not be poor, and no matter how difficult it was, I would feel at ease.

But now that I have money, I am very rich, but I always feel unwilling to wake up in the middle of the night.

was bent on making meritorious contributions to the enemy and serving the country, but finally fled in embarrassment.

Unwilling, unwilling.

It was as if from the day they fled, they had lost half of their souls in the northwest.

“… The tiger would rather starve to death in the mountains and forests than be fed in an iron cage..."

"....That's why I want to give my brothers a gift, not to sit on the mountain of gold and be a lifelong peacekeeper..."

“… but to make a contribution and wash away the shame..."

“… My brothers got up from wherever they fell, and they sludge from their bodies..."

Where you fail, you will get up again and start all over again.

There was silence in the courtyard, and it seemed that even breathing had stopped.

Do it all over again!

Clear the charge, and start again!

At the beginning, they escaped for nothing, not just to find a place to complain about grievances, but where can soldiers like them, who have no power, no power and no family to rely on, go to avenge their grievances.

Now the grievances have been avenged, and the charges have been cleared. He was able to return to the barracks again.

Isn't this a wish fulfilled?

I thought I was going to die this time. But I don't want to be not dead. Instead, he got his wish.

How can there be so many surprises in life?

Xu Maoxiu raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.

How could it be that there was such a good fate?

How can He De, how can He De, how can God treat them so kindly?

"Do you like these two gifts, brothers?"

Cheng Jianniang asked again.

"I like it." Xu Maoxiu was the first to say.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him.

"What?" She asked, seemingly uninaudible.

"I like it." Xu Maoxiu raised his voice and shouted.

"What?" Cheng Jianniang asked again. Smile slightly.

Xu Maoxiu laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, not only him, but also the other brothers.

"I like it!"

"I like it!"

"I like it!"

The shouts in the courtyard were deafening, accompanied by laughter.

But there are those who laugh and those who cry.

Li Dasco reached out and rubbed his nose.

"The proprietors are really leaving, and they are really reluctant." He choked up.

"What are you crying about, it's useless." On the side, the shopkeeper Wu said, "This is a great event, and the proprietors are going to make contributions and become heroes." ”

Li Dasco nodded and looked up at Shopkeeper Wu.

"Shopkeeper's. What are you doing? He asked, "What do you do with your head up?" ”

"Nothing. Look at the sky. Shopkeeper Wu said, turning around and continuing to tilt his head, "It's a good day..."

At the beginning of the night, the noise in the courtyard had gradually dissipated.

From noon to this time, even the brothers who were good drinkers were drunk.

"Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk." Shopkeeper Wu also said with a little drunkenness, while sending the men who were drunk in the hall back to the room one by one with Li Dasco Jin Ge'er, and helped wash and change clothes before leaving.

Cheng Jianniang stood under the porch to see each other off.

"It's hard work." She said.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a blessing if people can work hard." Wu shopkeeper Ha Luha said with a smile.

I don't know if they are talking about helping a few brothers back to the room, or whether they are talking about the restaurant business in the future.

Anyway, they can understand each other.

Li Dasco also nodded with a smile.

It's not hard, it's really not hard, it's really a blessing to be able to work so hard.

When the Cheng family's wine banquet dispersed, the Zhou family's wine banquet was in full swing.

Liuliulang's salute had already been sent to the northwest in advance, and he would set off with the new northwest generals in three days, and tomorrow would be the day he would go to Xiying.

Compared with the mother's reluctance to her youngest son, the men of the Zhou family are not so sad.

For the Zhou family, such a separation has been passed down from generation to generation, which is a fate that has been destined since the day they were born, and they are also preparing for this day.

"....go over there and listen to your uncles..."

“… Things on the battlefield are different from those on the school field, so you have to watch more and learn more..."

Fathers and uncles passed on their experience.

"....This is the book I got at a high price, and it's hard to find..."

"....brother, this is the talisman I asked you for..."

Brothers and sisters give each other parting gifts.

The banquet was sumptuous, the singing and dancing were pleasing to the eye, and the front hall of the Zhou family was very lively, and it did not disperse until late at night.

After washing up, Liulang did not go to rest, but sat down in the hall.

"Childe, it's not early, you rest early." The maids said.

Liuliulang looked at the gifts placed in the hall, there were brothers and sisters and friends, because most of them meant peace blessings, so they didn't need to be taken away.

"Is all this here?" He asked.

The maid was asked a little puzzled.

"Yes, Childe, everything I have collected in the past few days is here." They said, while speculating, "Childe should you bring some?" ”

Liuliulang shook his head and waved his hand.

The maids didn't dare to ask more, and Shi Li retreated.

Liu Liulang sat alone for a moment, got up and moved to the front of a few cases, and began to look through these large and small gift boxes.

No, no, no....

Didn't he just not let him choose his favorite longbow that day, so he was angry and didn't communicate again?

Of course not.

Saturday Lang stopped.

Of course not.

It was he who expressed that he didn't want to have anything to do with him again, he was so smart, how could he not see it....

Liulang lay on his back and looked at the roof with his hands on his head.

The maid under the porch looked out and was a little worried.

"Is Childe drunk after eating? How do you sleep here...", a whisper.

"Let's see." The other whispered.

The voice did not fall. Seeing the young man in the hall, he sat up sharply again. Keep looking at the gift box.

The two handmaidens breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled, and sat down under the porch with their heads down.

Saturday Lang stopped.

There won't be any at all, and the woman doesn't know that she wants to go.

Even if you know the Dao, you will have a reaction with the Dao.

Liuliulang exhaled, leaned back again, raised his feet and pushed away several cases and gift boxes, and was able to lie down in a comfortable position.

Seeing that the young man in the room had not moved for a long time, the maids first called softly. No one answered, so he got up and came in, looking at the young man lying on the ground who had closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The maids had to take the quilt and cover it with him, extinguish the lights in the house one by one, and retreat.

In a dim night light room, the young man's eyes were bright.

The night is dark, and everything is quiet.

Cheng Jianniang's hall was still lit, and there was a low voice and laughter from the maidservant inside, as well as a faint smell of medicine. After a while, the paper door opened, and the maidservant and Banqin each came out with a basket. Cheng Jianniang followed.

Turning the hallway, as soon as I entered the backyard, I saw a person sitting on the rock, apparently also hearing footsteps and hurriedly getting up.

"Saburo-kun woke up?" The maidservant asked with a smile.

"I slept for a while." Xu Maoxiu said, there was still a slight alcohol on his face, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and was a little surprised, "Why hasn't my sister slept yet?" ”

"Dry tea." Cheng Jianniang said.

The maidservant and Banqin hurriedly carried the basket in their hands to Xu Maoxiu.

"The lady made it herself."

"The tea trees given by the thirteenth prince are just right to pick some..."

Listening to the crisp words of the two maidservants, Xu Maoxiu lowered his head and looked at the tea in the basket seriously.

"Okay, good, my sister is really powerful." He smiled and nodded.

Cheng Jianniang stepped forward and looked at him with a smile when she heard the words.

"So, brother, go to sleep with peace of mind." She said, "Don't worry about my sister. ”

Xu Maoxiu also smiled and raised his heels.

"Still, I'm worried." He said.

Cheng Jianniang did not speak.

Xu Maoxiu sighed in the back.

"Actually, I know that there is no need to worry." He said again.

Is that worried or not?

The maidservant girl and Banqin, who were a few steps behind, glanced at each other and pursed their lips and smiled.

"You, go out and play more in the future." Xu Maoxiu said, "Don't always be alone at home..."

"I'm not lonely." Cheng Jianniang said, looking back at him and smiling, "Brother don't worry." ”

Xu Maoxiu sighed again, and looked at Cheng Jianniang standing in front of the bamboo mat that Jin Ge'er had already placed, he stretched out his hand, and the maidservant hurriedly handed him the basket in his hand.

"Although outsiders look like I'm pitiful." Cheng Jianniang said, while stroking her sleeves, she took out the tea from the basket handed by Xu Maoxiu and sprinkled it, and smiled again when she said this, "Or, it's terrible, that's their opinion, not my way of living." ”

Yes, that's what others think, this woman, she herself is neither pitiful nor terrible.

Xu Maoxiu smiled.

"It's me who is vulgar." He said.

"So don't worry brothers." Cheng Jianniang said, "You must know that before I met you, I have always been like this. ”

Therefore, I still live like this without you.

Even, without you, it's the days she's used to.

It's so straightforward, and it's a little embarrassing.

But that's what it is, it doesn't matter if you accept it or not, that's how it exists.

It's only been a year since I met them.

A year, what an insignificant time.

One year, for her, nothing has changed, but for them, fate has completely changed.

Xu Maoxiu didn't speak again, Cheng Jianniang didn't speak again, one sprinkled tea, the other carried a basket, and soon the two baskets of tea were finished.

"Okay, in the future, this kind of thing will have to be done by my sister alone, and I can't help my brother." Xu Maoxiu clapped his hands and said.

Cheng Jianniang smiled and bowed.

"Thank you, brother." She said.

"Go to sleep." Xu Maoxiu said, looking at her, "These days, you are tired. ”

Cheng Jianniang nodded with a smile, bowed down again, turned around and walked away.

The handmaid and the half-celery also gave gifts. Come on.

Looking at the woman who was fading away under the flickering lights of the night. Xu Maoxiu did not move for a long time.

When it's dark. The maid gently opened the door, startled.

"Where's Childe?" She shouted, turning around, "Did you see Childe?" ”

The other maidservants hurriedly ran over, and the hall was empty, and the quilt was lifted aside.

"Did you go to school?"

"Why didn't you hear that?"

"I was still there when I saw it."

"I'm going to Beijing today, and I'm really diligent when my son goes to school..."

At this time, the diligent Liulang was knocking on the door of Cheng's house.

“… Zhou Gongzi. So early? Jin Ge'er said sleepily holding on to the door.

"It's early, it's time to sweep the door, you're still sleeping!" Liuliulang glared and shouted.

Jin Ge'er was startled, and subconsciously went to get a broom, and when he came back to his senses, Liulang had already entered the door.

As if hesitating outside the door for a long time, Liuliulang stopped in the courtyard again.

"What's the matter with you?" Jin Ge'er followed up and asked unhappily, "You haven't gotten up yet." ”

Liuliulang let out a breath and glanced at the quiet courtyard. He turned and walked out the door again.

"Tell your lady that I'm leaving." He said to Jin Ge'er as he walked. "Later..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was the sound of the door opening behind him.

Liuliulang's footsteps couldn't help but stop, but he couldn't wait to get out of the city and disappear immediately.

"What's going on?"

Cheng Jianniang's voice came from behind her.

Liuliulang took a deep breath and turned around, and saw that the woman in front of the door was wearing homely clothes and did not comb her hair, so he hurriedly turned around again.

"In the future, there will be less trouble in the future." He said.

There was no sound behind him.

He lifted his foot, and took two steps.

"Oh, you're saying goodbye to me." Cheng Jianniang said.

Think whatever you want.

Saturday Lang snorted and tilted his head.

"It's not easy to live in the capital, so pay attention to yourself." He said.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the woman seemed to be smiling.

"Banqin, bring some snacks." She said.

This stinky woman!

Saturday turned to glare at her.

The slightly darkened interior, the courtyard with the morning light gradually brightening, standing by the door, standing between the light and the dark, the smile on the face of the girl dressed in plain clothes and black hair like ink is dazzling.

Liuliulang didn't know how he got out, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself standing on the street with a box of snacks in his hand.

His face flushed suddenly, and all he should do now was to throw the box of snacks to the beggars on the side of the road, or throw them into the river.

The gates were opened, and the streets were gradually becoming more and more populous, and carts and horses and donkeys were pouring through.

Liuliulang looked left and right, put away the small box in his arms, and walked with his feet up.

"Morning."

Someone rode past and threw down a sentence.

"What are you doing sneaking around?"

Saturday Lang panicked and was stunned.

This voice...

He looked up at the young man who had already crossed his horse in front of him.

"Hey." He couldn't help but shout.

Qin Shisanlang turned his head.

"Something?" He asked, seemingly surprised.

Saturday Lang glared at him.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Get out of the way and do something." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile, and waved his hand at him after speaking, "Go first." ”

He didn't restrain the horse when he spoke, and when he finished saying this, he was already outside the zhang, and when he finished speaking, he turned around and clamped the horse's belly.

Liuliulang stood in place and couldn't come back to his senses.

Let's go first....

The man and horse in sight shuttled through the crowd, getting farther and farther away.

"This bastard." He gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard! ”

He said, and ran wildly.

Qin Shisanlang's horse in the downtown area didn't go fast, and was caught up by Liulang.

"Heh, what are you busy with? Running so fast. He asked with a smile on his horse.

Saturday stopped beside him and snorted.

"Fit on, get down." He glared.

"How do you curse." Qin Shisanlang frowned and said.

"Swearing, I'm still beating people!" Liuliulang shouted, reaching out and grabbing him.

Hit?

The people on the street suddenly looked at it with bright eyes.

"Okay, I'll come down by myself." Qin Shisanlang hurriedly smiled, "I can't afford to lose anyone." I can't afford to lose that person. ”

Seeing that the two teenagers did not fight, but walked side by side. The people on the street dispersed with a bit of disappointment.

"I'm so busy." Qin Shisanlang said. "Tell me something."

"Busy stalking me early in the morning?" Saturday Lang snorted.

"Oh, look at your beauty! What am I following you for? Qin Shisanlang said with a look of surprise.

"Okay, I won't lie to anyone, and you won't either, don't think you're smart, I used to just coax you." Saturday Lang snorted and said, "When I crashed into your car, you smiled and said that there was nothing wrong with it, and you didn't scold me fiercely in your heart." Who can't see it. ”

Qin Shisanlang laughed.

"Hey, hey, do you really see that?" Curious, he asked, "Then why did you still fulfill my promise?" ”

"You little cripple, I'm afraid of you." Saturday Lang said.

"Little cripple, you still said you didn't say this about me." Qin Shisanlang also snorted.

"It's just a lie, you really believe it." Liuliulang said, stretched out his hand after speaking, "Talking about business, I'm still busy." Hurry up. ”

"What? What's the matter? Qin Shisanlang frowned and asked.

Saturday Lang snorted, and reached out to pick a dagger from his waist. Qin Shisanlang was busy protecting.

"Mine, mine." He shouted.

Although his legs and feet are better, he is not as good as Liulang, who has been practicing since he can walk, and he was taken away in three strokes and two strokes.

It was a seemingly inconspicuous dagger, with a simple scabbard and no gems, gold or silver.

Liuliulang pulled out the knife and smacked twice.

"Weizhou Duan's knife." He smiled, with a little satisfaction, "It's not bad, and it's sincere to give gifts." ”

Qin Shisanlang laughed on the side.

"What about mine?" He asked.

Liuliulang stepped the dagger and looked at him.

"When I accept your gift, I will give you the best gift." He said.

Qin Shisanlang smiled and raised his hand to punch him in the shoulder.

"I'm getting more and more slippery learning from your sister!" He laughed.

"What are you doing with her?" Liuliulang said, "You'd better die, don't worry about it all day long, it's useless." ”

Qin Shisanlang smiled and didn't answer, but patted his stomach.

"I'm in a hurry and haven't eaten yet." He said, looking at Liulang, his eyes lit up, "You also brought snacks out, not bad, bring it"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Liulang had already covered his snack and dodged.

"Eat what you eat." He said.

"Aren't you unfamiliar with her things?" Qin Shisanlang smiled, "Out of sight and out of mind, I'll dispose of it for you." ”

Liulang snorted and dodged again.

"I'm gone, you take care of her." He said suddenly.

Qin Shisanlang smiled slightly.

"Where is she taking care of me?" He said, "I can't even repay the favor." ”

Liuliulang looked ahead and strode forward.

Qin Shisanlang held the reins in his hand, and his horse had not yet been trained to follow him as freely as Liuliulang.

"No one else, I don't trust anyone else, it's just you." "It's one thing to not need it, it's another thing to have this person or not." ”

Qin Shisanlang nodded, and then shook his head again.

"Are you praising me or flattening me?" He said, reaching out and punching Liuslang.

This time, Liulang stretched out his arm to block it and gave him another punch.

"Practice your little body, and when I come back from the battlefield, you can still block my punch." He laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm just ten years behind you." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile, "When you come back, it's not certain who will beat whom." ”

Saturday Lang pouted.

At this time, they had already walked to the corner of the street, and Qin Shisanlang stood still.

"Then I'm leaving." He said.

Liuliulang also stood on his feet and nodded.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" He asked again.

"Yes, my father introduced me to Mr., but this gentleman is not easy to serve, and I have to go to him early every day." Qin Shisanlang said.

Saturday Lang snorted.

"But it's also true that I'm here to see you off." Qin Shisanlang smiled again, reaching out and patting his arm.

Liuliulang snorted and raised his hand to him.

"I wish you the title of the gold list." He said.

"Then don't bless." Qin Shisanlang said with a smile, the confidence on the young man's face in the morning light was overflowing, and he also bowed his hand to Liulang, "I wish you to be invincible and make military achievements as soon as possible." ”

"That's still a blessing, it's a clear thing." Liuliulang raised his chin and said.

Qin Shisanlang laughed, and the two arched hands touched in the air.

Qin Shisanlang turned over and rode to the west, and Liuliulang went east, one man and one horse went away on the bustling streets.
