During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

Ce Yuan and Cheng Peng, the two fathers and sons are twenty years apart and sleep together in the same year.

One day fifty years ago, when Liu was still in the year of light makeup, after a busy day in the field, he returned home to raise cicadas, and the small yard was full of well-organized fruits and vegetables, which took root, sprouted, and bore fruit. Then it took root again, sprouted, and stayed in a small home with Liu, who was looking forward to her husband and son coming home, year after year.

The wind and rain suddenly came, and a one-eyed man in blood-colored remnant armor limped from Lingyi to Qiushan Village with a letter from his family, followed by Li Kouduwei of Lingyi City. Li Kou is also an old pawn who came down from the blood soul in the past, but his family background is prominent.

The Li family of Chu State is famous in the entire Qin land. So as soon as he was discharged from the army, Li Kou immediately became a lieutenant next to Ling Yi, the old Chu.

Among them, there are also political reasons, the new defeat of the Chu State to the Qin State has just surrendered, and the move of the Great Qin officialdom is not only to give some face to the old nobles of the Chu State, but also to knock the mountain and shock the tiger again, and install henchmen. Of course, some people disagree, saying that Li Kou, Chu Pi Qin Xin, actually joined the enemy country and was a traitor. But no one dared to say it directly, and once they came and went, no one would talk about this matter again.

Seeing that the one-eyed man's right leg was empty, Li Kou could only walk on a blackened bamboo cane, and freed up the ox cart he was riding, and said, "Strong man, since you are here to Ling Yi to find someone, it is better to take my ox cart temporarily, it is more convenient." ”

The one-eyed man glanced at it and continued to walk silently.

Seeing that the man behind Li Kou dared to be so rude, he shouted angrily: "My family is the captain to speak, boy, you dare not answer." "When you speak, you have to whip down.

Li Kou held the whip in one hand, and the whip left a swollen red mark on his wrist, and then kicked him off the horse, personally greeted the one-eyed man, and said: "Strong man, look at your armor, you are a bloody soul pawn." We are Ze robes, and I am also a blood soul veteran, retired from the army last year, and fought in Dingyan. ”

The one-eyed man stopped and looked up at Li Kou. Rao is Li Kou, who has been baptized by countless bloody battles, and he can't help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. What a terrible battle, what a tenacious armorer.

Half of the one-eyed man's cheek was pierced by a sword, his tongue and jaw were nearly half gone, and his flesh and blood withered, like a rakshasa demon who had just crawled out of hell, if it weren't for the blood soul armor, I'm afraid no one would believe that this would be a living person.

Li Kou bowed to the one-eyed man from the bottom of his heart, half-knelt on the ground, and used his shoulder as a stool to invite the one-eyed man to get on the ox cart.

The one-eyed man sat down in the ox cart and looked in the direction of the hills.

As the sun set in the afternoon, the ox cart stopped in front of Liu's house, and the one-eyed man opened the scribbled sketch with the address in his hand, and there was a pear tree next to the door, and the pear blossoms were all white when they bloomed. Across the street is a small stream, which meanders through it.

The one-eyed man slammed the door nervously, and there were three clicks.

A woman's voice came from inside the courtyard: "Who, wait a minute. ”

As the footsteps approached, the one-eyed man trembled more and more, and the whole person shrank into a ball, and found a bronze iron mask from his arms, half hidden on his face, before he dared to stand still for a while.

Liu opened the door, and there were two people standing at the door, a man in blood-red armor with a bronze face, and the other a lieutenant wearing an official robe and a white jade pendant around his waist.

The one-eyed man paused, tremblingly took out the family letter of Wu Commander Liu Ceyuan from his arms, and made a whining sound from his mouth, like a ghost crying.

Liu was startled by the strange voice and behavior of the one-eyed man, and was slightly relieved to see Li Kou in the robe of the lieutenant standing aside, and borrowed the bloodstained old book with trembling hands slightly.

The content of the letter is very simple, in fact, it is a death certificate with a few words, the Book of Broken Souls.

A page of a book is a person's life, so it is called a broken soul.

In this era, this kind of letter is sprinkled like snowflakes every day to every corner of Dongmi Tianzhou.

Liu Shi read the letter, his legs trembled and he knelt on the ground with his face covered, his heart was broken, he waited for so long, and he still couldn't wait for the moment when he returned home.

Since ancient times, when strong men return to their hometowns, they have to worship their parents and grandmothers.

In front of the creek, under the pear blossom tree, the man took off his armor and bowed for the chief.

Li Kou didn't look over, he couldn't bear to see this sad scene.

When the one-eyed man saluted, a strong wind blew up, and the mask was accidentally blown off by the wind, revealing a hideous half of his face.

The one-eyed man was afraid of scaring Liu, and a pair of broken palms groped back and forth on the ground, raising dust, and finally could only cover his face in pain and shrink back.

When Liu saw the one-eyed man for the first time, he was so frightened that he almost fainted, but when he saw the man's low roar in pain, carefully hiding, Liu slowly stretched out his hand to the one-eyed man curled up in the corner.

The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

Liu smiled weakly, his eyes were red, but his words were very atmospheric, and he said: "Since I sent the letter for my husband, it must be my husband's robe." The Zepao brothers are considered to be home when they come here, so let's go into the house and have a meal. ”

The one-eyed man compared his fingers with himself, and wrote the word Chen Ma in the soil, which was his name.

Liu said: "Chen Ma, Li Duwei, come in together." ”

The red tomatoes, green cucumbers, and tender green lettuce in the courtyard all seem to have lost their color at this time.

Liu went into the kitchen and cooked five dishes, and then Youyou took out the daughter Hong, who had left it for her husband and son when he came home, from the cellar and put it on the table.

Chen Ma squatted under the tree, and Li Kou sat on the table.

After her husband had gone, Liu was the head of the family, poured half a cup of red for her daughter, and said: "Thank you Brother Chen Ma for sending my husband's soul home, and thank you Li Duwei for driving the hut." ”

Li Kou stood up in fear and said, "The home of the martyrs, it is my Li's honor to be here. ”

Liu smiled sadly and drank half of the wine.

Chen Ma pointed to his half-open mouth and waved his hand. In the past, Wu Chang often said that he had the best daughter-in-law in the world, but it turned out to be true.

After Liu drank half of the wine, he went to the stove house, leaving only two men to eat and drink in the courtyard.

Chen Ma looked at Li Kou and didn't move his chopsticks.

Li Kou also looked at Chen Ma and didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.

After a while, an injured soldier came, and the three of them met in the courtyard, and they were stunned for a while.

When Ma Liu took out Cheng Peng's soul-breaking letter from his arms, the atmosphere calmed down strangely, Chen Ma became even more sad, one hand kept shaking, and Li Kou seemed to have nothing to do except sigh. Liu took the letter tremblingly.

This time, she didn't kneel on the ground weakly, nor did she cry bitterly, her expression seemed to freeze.

In the end, I just put away the letter and said thank you.

Qingming rain falls, and half of it passes in a flash. Liu seemed to have been waiting, waiting by the graves of her husband and son.

When he waits for his soul to return, the family of three can be reunited.
