"Hey, Maliu~"

"Huh? It's the second king! ”

"How's it going, how is the potato harvest?"

"Uh...... It's done! ”

"Yet? Ma Liu, you kid won't go to nap when he was farming, why did he still do it? ”

"Nonsense!" Ma Liu is an honest common man, except for farming, that is, farming, nothing else understands, for this reason, more than twenty years to become a biological child (a sign of the times, don't scold me). Now, his only career was questioned, and he suddenly turned red with anger, "I'm not that kind of person!" ”

"Not like that?" Wang Er's face was full of smiles, but he sighed in his heart: My sixth brother Ma, you are too honest, too honest! I can't listen to anything, I just know how to ...... Ay......

"It's not!" After Ma Liu finished speaking indignantly, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!"

Wang Er hurriedly shouted: "Don't cut sweet potato leaves hard next year, cutting too much will affect the harvest." Seeing that Ma Liu didn't believe it, he quickly grabbed it and said solemnly: "Don't believe it, this is what the lord said." ”

The word lord has a sacred meaning in the ears of all the people of Liaodong, so Ma Liu became solemn, but he still didn't believe it: "Is it really what the lord said?" ”

"It's still fake!"

Seeing that he was questioned, Wang Er was also a little unhappy, but he still explained: "You also know that the lord is a god descending to earth, these things, the lord pinched his fingers, learned about his traces, and then sent someone to retrieve them from thousands of miles overseas, so it must be reasonable for the lord to say this." Also, as the village head, he went to the town not long ago, but he saw the approval of the lord with his own eyes, and he would never be fake. ”

Ma Liu was a little stunned, but he believed it in his heart.

Wang Er was not at ease, and said "Yin Measure": "Ma Liu, if you still don't believe it, be careful when the time comes, tell your third child that you question the lord, and when the time comes, hehe!" ”

Laughing twice, Wang Er left in a hurry.

Ma Liu nodded, and didn't say anything more, but he missed his son, that is, the third child in Wang Er's mouth - Ma Dan.

Speaking of Ma Dan, Ma Liu is very proud in his heart, the whole village, oh no, even if it is the whole town, he has the confidence to be proud, because his son is one of the 1,896 people in the whole town who serve the lord, one of the 1,324 people who joined the army, and the only one who joined the army less than two years ago because of his meritorious service to kill the enemy and become the tun chief. As his father, pride comes from the heart.

"Then try it!"

At the same time, Ma Liu is also deeply affected by it, even if he has only met his son two or three times in the past two years, he has a lot more respect for the "lord".

The more you know, the more you revere!

After deciding, Ma Liu looked at the road in front of him and quickly quickened his pace, he had already delayed the time to dig the ground a little, if he was any slower, it might affect the time of sowing, and then the harvest.

The scorching sun traveled westward, gradually converging the light, and no longer seemed so irritable.

Ma Liu shook off the hot sweat on his face, pulled his hand to the edge of the field, picked up the bamboo tube placed on the ground, shook it, and heard that there was not much sound inside, so he couldn't help but shake his head: "It seems that I have to prepare two for this time in the future." ”

Immediately, Ma Liugudong drank the few mouthfuls of hot water that were not left in it. It was cold water, but the sun warmed him up.

"Oops, not good!"

Suddenly, Ma Liu jumped up: "My son seems to be coming back today." ”

Ma Liu glanced at the sun that was about to sink, and was anxious: "No, you have to go back quickly!" ”

After finishing speaking, Ma Liu quickly packed up the hoe and bamboo tube, and rushed back in a slippery manner.

Although Ma Liu is indeed slippery, the distance is not close, and it is already dark when he returns home.

"Hasn't my dad come back yet?"

As soon as Ma Liu entered the door, he heard the sound of an urn and the sound of an urn, and immediately became happy: "Dan'er, when did it arrive?" ”

"Daddy! You're back? ”

Ma Dan (Does anyone think he's scolding?) Throwing the wood off his back, he turned around and scratched his head and giggled.

"Hmm!" Ma Liu's eyes were a little moist, but as the head of the family, he had to hold on, put the hoe away, and when he entered the house with a bamboo tube, he asked, "How long can I stay when I come back this time?" ”

"Two days, I have to go back to the camp early the day after tomorrow."

Ma Dan's rough voice replied, and then he seemed to remember something, and then said, "Dad, that ......"

"What's this, that, you can't even say it's good?" Ma Liu frowned, a little dissatisfied, and he didn't know if it was because of the short stay or because of something else.

"Hmph, who do you say, old thing?"

The old woman's words did not hinder the conversation between father and son, but became more and more intense because of her accession, so that both husband and wife felt that there was no taste at dinner.

Could it be that there is less salt?

After the meal, Maliu sat on the threshold and bathed in the moonlight. Today is the middle of the month, there are few stars in the sky, there are no clouds to obstruct it, and the moonlight is abundant.

Ma Dan sat on the side, looking at Ma Liu, who was smoking a dry cigarette, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but he couldn't say it.

"Ahem~"

Ma Liu was in a bad mood and wanted to take a few puffs to relieve his boredom, but he was out of breath for a while and coughed violently.

Ma Dan stood up neatly and gently patted Ma Liu's back with his fan-sized palm. Ma Liu's arm blocked, pushed away Ma Dan, and then smoothed his breath and asked, "Is there really going to be a war?" ”

"I don't know, but after coming back this time, it will be at least a year or more before I can come back." Worry flashed across Ma Dan's face, and it was clear that his head was not as simple as his appearance suggested.

Ma Liuba pursed his lips and twitched a few more times, and then said, "Pay attention to safety!" ”

"Got it, Dad!"

Ma Dan knew what his father was worried about, so he changed the topic and said, "How are the eldest sister and second brother now?" ”

Ma Dan's eldest sister has been married for many years and has two sons, not far away, in the next village next door, in the same town. Second brother...... It's been two years since I got married.,But I moved away before Ma Dan joined the army.,Go to the town next door.,The reason is.,I just want to leave the family's land to Ma Dan.,He's a good brother.。

Ma Dan joined the army, in fact, he wanted to tell the second brother that he would not fight for this, and he wanted to use his ability to fight for a family business.

"It's fine!"

It's just that in Ma Liu's ears, it's okay not to mention the eldest sister and the second brother, mentioning this reminded him of another thing, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you remember the flowers of the old Chen family at the entrance of the village?" ”

Ma Dan's eyes flashed and he nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Liu turned his head, but the corner of his eye was staring at Ma Dan.

Ma Dan bowed his head and said nothing, pretending not to hear.

Syllable~

Ma Liuyi slapped him on the head and said angrily: "What? Do you want your father to be embarrassed and dishonest? Or do you think your wings are stiff and you want to be disobedient? ”

Ma Dan still didn't say anything.

"Bang~" was another sound, but it wasn't that the pockly egg was beaten again, but something was broken, and then a sound of footsteps sounded.

Ma Liu came to the gate and opened the door three or two, only to see a vague back disappearing from the corner of the courtyard into the night. But that was enough, and Maliu quickly recognized it as the person he had just mentioned.

"Bastard boy, call you dishonest, make you hard-winged......"

Ma Liu turned around and began to start a home run work on Ma Dan, saying while hitting back. (Catch up and talk about it, the ancients are not modern people, even if they are modern people, this big night, it is ...... ）

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when Ma Dan leaves home.

Ma Liu and his wife sent Ma Dan to the entrance of the village, and they still didn't want to stop, but Ma Dan didn't want his parents to go further, so he stopped first.

"Father, mother, just send it here!"

Ma Liu and his wife stopped. Mamu's eyes were full of reluctance, but she didn't say anything.

Ma Liu patted Ma Dan's shoulder and said softly, "Well, go ahead!" Dad knows that your navy is in the water, but what Dad wants to tell you is that when the lord needs you to charge into battle, you can't be soft-legged. ”

"Well, don't worry, Dad, absolutely not." Ma Dan slapped his chest loudly, but fell silent after saying that.

Ma Liu waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Ma Dan turned around and wanted to leave, but did not take a step, his face full of struggle.

"Dad, you tell Hua, if I have a case, let her find someone else to marry!"

Without waiting for Ma Liu to reply, a voice interjected, making Ma Liu and Ma Dan tremble.

"No, I'll wait for you for the rest of my life, if you die, I'll keep you a widow for a lifetime and take care of your parents for a lifetime."

Ma Dan wanted to turn back, but he didn't dare, and finally yelled and strode away. Ma Liu, his wife and "Flower", just looked at the back of him leaving, and didn't say anything more until the back disappeared in his eyes for a long time, and tears fell to the ground, and then he walked back.

……

Port of Tsujin.

Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the No. 3 Kunpeng, watching the sailors board the ship one after another, and his heart was surging, not only because of these mighty and majestic soldiers, but also because of the conversation with Gongsun Du more than ten days ago-

"I hope that in half a year, no more than a year, there will be 20,000 elite sailors, I don't know if Gongjin can be sure?"

"Don't worry, my lord, although Yu is only twenty-eight years old, General Sui Cheng has learned a lot in the past two years, and what he learned from the master has finally been converted into his own."

"Okay, sure enough, 'it's Zhou Lang who is in ashes', Zhou Lang is Zhou Lang, no matter where you are, you are Zhou Lang!"

Zhou Yu didn't understand what the last sentence meant, but he knew that it was him who said it, and what he said was praise, and his heart was stirring, and now that he thinks about it, it's still the same.

"Lord, don't worry, Yu will never let you down!"

Zhou Yu secretly swore an oath, and then saw that all the soldiers had boarded the ship, and immediately ordered to go to sea.
