Chapter 34 Severed Relatives
The northern border passes the city of Yuzhou
Chen Jiacheng has been conscripted into the army for two years, and he is already a centurion, and the difficulty of going from a small recruit to a centurion is imaginable, because he is literate and has brains, and his armed forces are also well trained, and he has led a team of 100 people to win many battles, so that the little generals in the army appreciate him a lot.
Today, Chen Jiacheng led a team of 100 soldiers who had been assembled and was preparing to go out of the city to patrol.
Suddenly felt a palpitation, he clutched his chest and felt the heart thumping and beating faster, a little worried about his mother and sister at home, when he came out of the house, the situation at home was not good, the distance was far and communication was even more difficult, the mother at home was not in good health, and the two of them depended on each other was really worrying.
He decided that in the past two days, he was going to ask the little general for leave to go back to visit his relatives, and he would go back as soon as possible.
Otherwise, winter is the peak of barbarian raids, and it will be difficult to ask for leave, after all, if you haven't gone home for two years, the little general will agree.
During this time, the barbarians became more and more ferocious, and the attacks became more and more frequent, and the surrounding villages and towns were disturbed.
Because the north side is located in a wilderness, there are no neighboring countries, and the barbarians are guerrilla in nature, and they run away after fighting and looting, so there is no large number of troops stationed at the border pass without the attention of the lord of the country.
And the real battlefield of Gu Feng Kingdom is the junction between the west and the neighboring Yelu Kingdom, the two countries are constantly in friction, fighting every year, and this year seems to be fierce in the past year.
Chen Jiacheng is to gather the team to patrol the surrounding towns and villages, sometimes they will encounter the barbarians who come to sneak attack, the two groups of people will face to face and slash back and forth, the barbarians will ride horses and turn their heads and run away if they don't see it good, and because the barbarian horse breed is good and very strong, it is stronger than the army's horses, so the army can rarely catch up.
During this time, the barbarians mainly robbed the cloth and grain depots in the towns, and when the grain in the fields was taken back by the farmers in a few days, they would rob the farmers' homes.
It's not that the lord of the country hasn't thought of a way to kill all these barbarians or something, but as soon as you hit him, he will run, run far away, scatter the mountains in various regions, and hide without even a fixed nest, so that you can't find him to beat him, and sometimes the barbarians will make a roundabout, that is, their mobility is too strong, and they are all brave and good at fighting and slipping without leaving their hands, which makes people have a headache.
Over there, Jiajia's brother Chen Jiacheng was about to take leave to go home to visit relatives, and after sending off the old doctor, He Chen boiled medicine for Jiajia to let her drink the medicine and then sleep.
The old doctor checked and said that Jiajia was frightened and choked on water and injured her lungs, but fortunately she didn't faint in the water for too long, otherwise she would have hurt her brain if she was rescued from lack of oxygen for too long, and it would be serious at that time.
Fortunately, I will be fine now by drinking some medicine to clear my lungs and dispel cold, plus some pressure and convulsion.
He Chen listened to the old doctor's words and was glad that the turbulent water of the river had drowned the children who accidentally fell into the play, and when Jiajia was carried back, she felt that her heart was not beating at that time.
It's really thanks to Pei Yao, otherwise it would be unacceptable for me to be helpless and hurt my brain, I would go crazy, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, this Huancui pushed Jiajia to the river, and I didn't even come to notify him, how poisonous is that experience!
Thinking of this, He Chen stood up, walked out of the house, carefully closed the door, and ran to the upper room in the village.
When he came to the gate of the courtyard of the upper room, the wooden courtyard door was closed, so he knocked on the door and said loudly: "Ji Chen, Huancui, you come out for me!" Huancui, do you think you'll be fine if you hide! ”
At this time, I heard the sound of kicking and tapping in the courtyard and came to the door, and said as he opened the door, "Oops! Sister-in-law, what are you arguing about, you don't sleep at home at noon, why are you running to me to make a noise. "It was Ji Chen's who opened the courtyard door.
He Chen pushed her away and walked into the courtyard, looked at the room and said, "I don't chew my tongue with you, Huancui, let her come out, I'll see what her heart is made of, so lacking in virtue!" ”
"Oops! Sister-in-law, why do you scold, why do you scold her, Huancui, she is still a child, she can't stand your scolding! Ji Chen's mouth was around and he didn't go to Huancui, it seemed that he knew it in his heart, so he let her hide.
He Chen was angry: "If you don't let her come out, if you don't let her come out, I will go in and look for it, she pushed my Jiajia into the river, and she didn't even find someone to save her, this is murder!" "Being a mother is strong, He Chen's gentle person is really not willing to give up for the sake of the child!
"Yo, you make a little noise, it's your unfilial piety to be so noisy that you frighten your mother." At this time, Ji Chen saw a figure shaking at the door of the old lady, and knew that the old lady was going to come out and hurriedly said.
"Ahem, what are you arguing about, eldest daughter-in-law, do you look like a woman?" That's what the old lady in the gray cloth skirt said when she walked out of the door.
How could she not hear her voice so loudly in the room before, she didn't like the eldest family, but now that the boss is gone, she feels that this He Chen family is an outsider, except for being able to pay some filial piety food every year, it is useless, how can it be compared with the second son and the family of the dear son.
Knowing that the old lady was eccentric, He Chen didn't take her words seriously: "Huancui is so old that you can get married, are you still young?" She pushed Jiajia into the river and almost drowned, you know, she didn't even find someone to save her, she was poisonous! ”
The old lady didn't like to listen to it: "Almost drowned is not drowning, what are you arguing about here, you can still push Huancui into the river once, I know that your He family is a vicious person." ”
The old lady said this because when He Chen's first child was miscarried. The He family came to make trouble, and then the father of the He family was gone, and the brothers of the He family also went to join the army, so there was no one to support her, which is the reason why she was oppressed so badly later, the old lady was soft at the time, but at that time she had some grudges.
"Okay, there's no way, I'll go to the village chief, find someone in charge of the village, and see if anyone cares if this is going to kill people!" He Chen's family is no longer messing around with them.
Ji Chen's can't see it well, reputation is too important in these years, if it is rumored that Huancui is so vicious, then it is definitely not to want to marry, you can't delay Huancui to marry a good family, and the bride price can't be less, so she hurriedly grabbed her and said: "Don't do it, that Huancui didn't mean it, she was also frightened."
Without listening to what she said, He Chen's eyes were red and said, "I'm frightened!" Jiajia almost lost her life, and now she is still lying in bed, and she doesn't know if the injury hurt her brain! Isn't it okay to kill people?
Either you let Huancui apologize in front of the whole village, Jiajia will prove that she has changed, or the person who dares to kill will have to be driven out of the village. "Actually, He Chen doesn't know what to do, even if he can beat and scold Huancui.
At this time, the old lady didn't dare to force her, she was afraid that she would really spread the matter to the village, and her family had no face to stay in the village, so she said: "Don't look for it, no one can get good out of this matter, isn't Jiajia okay now, you don't need to pay the filial piety food in the future, leave it to Jiajia to make up for herself." "The old lady also saw that her house couldn't blow up any oil and water, and it was not good to really force people to death.
Ji Chen's saw that the filial piety food was gone, and this Jiajia didn't know what happened when he fell into the river, so he didn't ask for silver in the future and said: "Anyway, the eldest brother is not here, and Jia Cheng doesn't know if he can come back, so it's better for the two families to break off the relationship, and the two children are accidentally pushed, so no one should spread the word?" The old lady didn't say anything after thinking about it, and acquiesced.
As soon as He Chen heard it, he could still break the relationship, and when he broke it, his whole family worked like a slave who wrapped his body, and he didn't even get a good word, which was really chilling!
The two waited for the second child of the Chen family to come back and go to the village chief's house to break off the relationship between the two families, and waited for the family to come back and take out his father's coffin for another burial, that is, the two families really have no relationship.
I didn't expect that the old family was doing well later, but they didn't even have a reason to take advantage of it, and they regretted it very much!
