Chapter 218: I Want to Have a Home
Outside Fengyang City, Wei Qing also hated and wanted to pump himself.
Another failure.
He originally planned to force the enemy to fight a decisive battle with him in a step-by-step manner, so as to give full play to the numerical advantage of the Han army, but the other party saw through this strategy, and the dead turtle cowered in the city and refused to come out, although Fengyang City was not high, but under the guard of 10,000 "immortal divisions" and 30,000 ordinary Jin troops, it was actually impregnable and unshakable.
Wei Qing looked at Fengyang City hatefully, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Fengyang City was still so peaceful, but the corpses were piled up under the city, a scene of slaughter, Bai Buxin came behind Wei Qing, holding a document in his hand, but he didn't hand it over.
"It's Da Sima's war-urging document again!" Wei Qing asked.
Bai Buxin nodded: "Yes, this time we are also asked to send someone to report on the battle situation!" ”
Wei Qing frowned: "How can there be any free people to sit with them now!" ”
"I'll go!" A voice sounded on the side: "Lao Dao has always been very free!" "It turned out to be Zuo Ci.
Wei Qing and Bai Buxin looked at Zuo Ci in unison, and Wei Qing asked, "Daoist Zuo, can you tell me about the military situation?" ”
Zuo Ci smiled weirdly: "Can they understand the military situation?" In the old way's view, those people know the military situation, but I am afraid that there is no more than the old way, not to mention that the old way does not understand the military situation very well, but these days I also understand seven or eight points in the eyes of this offensive battle, it is enough to have these, as for the rest, it is just the kung fu that scares them in the clouds, and this kung fu old way still has it! ”
Wei Qing sneered, even Bai Buxin smiled, although Zuo Ci is not a person in the officialdom, he really knows enough about officialdom: "You go!" Wei Qing nodded: "In this regard, I'm afraid that you are the only one in our army who has this specialty!" ”
At the camp gate, Hua Mulan and Qi Muge were standing and watching the sky, when a cold wind blew, and Hua Mulan shivered: "Sister Qi Muge, you have been standing outside for a long time!" Mulan reminded.
"I'm not cold, I want to stand a little longer!" Qimuge's face was red from the cold, but ^H still refused to go back.
Mulan sighed.
Yesterday, she saw Qi Muge looking at Fengyang City and secretly wiping away tears, and she knew that Qi Muge was grieving for her compatriots. Although Wei Qing has been invincible repeatedly, but from the current situation, it is only because Wei Qing is eager to win, not because he can't win, now Fengyang is besieged by the Han army, and the defeat of the Jin army is a matter of time or time.
Mulan's hand was gently on Qi Muge's shoulder: "Sister Qi Muge, don't think about it, there are some things we can't control, you have Wei Qing and a home, this is the best thing for a woman!" ”
Qi Muge smiled bitterly: "Home, where do I have a home now, Wei Qing is my master, but not my husband, Sister Hua, I also want to have a home, and there are servants to serve my food and daily life, but?" I'm not you, and I'm still just a slave! As she spoke, Qimuge's eyes turned red, and she lowered her head and hurriedly walked away.
Hua Mulan stayed there, Qimuge had no home, no servants to serve, what about her? She used to have a happy home, but it was when she was very young, and after that,,,,,, she stood there, thinking of another "home" she had once had, of another servant of hers,,,,,。
It was in Qingcheng, hundreds of miles away.
In the north of the city, a large area of dilapidated thatched houses is next to each other, here is the shelter of the poorest people, not only do they have no belongings, they do not even have land, they are not even qualified to enter the city to live in thatched houses, because they cannot afford to pay the poll tax in the city, but outside the city is a dangerous world, robbers, wild beasts, and the Jin army from time to time harassment, no matter which one will make these people who are close to extreme poverty face the catastrophe, so they can only rely on each other and gather together to protect themselves.
In this large area of thatched houses, there is a little special, on the surface, there is no difference from other places, the broken thatched roofs are next to each other, people are worried about how to escape in the event of a fire, but if you walk around this dense roof, you will be surprised to find that these houses are actually connected together, there is not even a gap in the middle, if you are too curious to push those dilapidated wooden doors one by one, you will be even more surprised to find that only one of these doors can be opened, Behind the other doors are walls made of fine blue bricks.
The only door that could be opened was an alternative world, under the thatched roof, a roof made of fine wood and glazed tiles, but on top of the real roof there were several fake roofs made of thatch, and in order to be more realistic, these roofs were arranged in a staggered manner, as if they were several small thatched houses.
The four walls of the room are built of high-quality blue bricks, although the house is not very large, but the house is very tidy, the curtain is low, the wide bed is the futon bought by the "tribute house", a dresser is placed next to the bed, the mahogany table, the big copper mirror, the drawer of the dresser is placed in some jewelry, and in the wardrobe next to it, some fashionable clothes are hung neatly.
If it were in the city, it would be at least the boudoir of a young lady from a rich family, and in this place where the destitute lived, every piece of furniture and every piece of clothing in this house would be enough to buy the whole settlement.
However, don't be afraid of this place, none of the people who live here dare to approach this mysterious house, everyone knows that there are evil ghosts here, and if you cross the small ditch that surrounds the door of this house, and take three steps closer, you will die.
In the corner of the room sat a strange man, less than three feet tall, his whole body seemed to be curled up in a ball, he didn't have to bend down at all, his chin was close to his lower abdomen, and his back was as high as a hump.
This is a dwarf, a badly hunchbacked dwarf, and since he had cleaned up the house, he had been sitting in the corner, and there were chairs and beds in the room, but he didn't sit or lie down, it was Miss's, and he would never defile anything in Miss. Although Miss is not at home now, and sometimes does not come back for a long time, he will never sit in Miss Miss's chair or lie on Miss Miss's bed just because Miss can't see it.
In fact, even sitting on the ground and sleeping on the ground was already a paradise for him, for since he could remember as a child, he had been sleeping in the garbage heap, his strange body shape did not even look down on him as a beggar, and he was often bullied by people who also lived in the garbage heap, and when the young lady found him, he had only one breath left, and even maggots crawled out of his mouth.
It was the young lady who saved his life, and now he was very satisfied to live in such a room.
In fact, Mademoiselle didn't care if he sat in the chair she sat in or the bed she slept in, but he cared.
Although they are now far away from their hometowns and live in such an inferior place outside Liaocheng City, Miss is Miss Miss, and she will always be Miss Mulan, and he will never have the slightest disrespect for Miss, even if this kind of disrespect is not trivial in the eyes of others.
There was a thunderclap outside the door, and the rain rattled on the roof, and he slowly stood up, his head almost close to the ground, and slowly looked at the junction between the wall and the ground, inch by inch.
The house is really good, but it looks like it's been built for a certain number of years, so if it rains heavily, there can sometimes be a little bit of water seeping into the corners.
He could not tolerate Mademoiselle living in a house with standing water on the ground, so he ventured out to the door, carefully plastered all the possible leaks, and then slashed his arm several times with a knife.
It was a punishment for not obeying the orders of the young lady, and the young lady told him herself: "Ah Fu, don't go outside the house, don't let people see you, once they find out about you, it will spread as a strange news, and if this kind of strange news is heard by the Jin people, we can no longer live here!" ”
He had never failed to listen to the words of the young lady, and once the young lady had been away from home for too long, and had forgotten to leave him enough food beforehand, and when the young lady returned, he was already dying of hunger, but he did not leave the house at all---- of course, since then, the family has been stocked with food for a month.
Only this time, he disobeyed Miss's order, because he couldn't let Miss live in such an environment no matter what, and he must not let the water appear in Miss's house, although Miss was not a golden branch, she must not suffer such a grievance.
He had finally searched all four corners, and there was no water seepage, and he breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and walked back to the corner and sat down.
Outside the door, lightning flashed one after another, and it had been raining heavily for a long time, but the young lady still hadn't returned.
Ah Fu's expression was a little sad.
He could guess where the young lady went, she must have gone to see Young Master Atu again, every time the young lady went to see Young Master Atu, she would have a fever all night after coming back, but she always couldn't help but take a look, now that the rain is so heavy, the young lady will definitely have a fever again when she comes back.
He stood up suddenly and slapped himself hard, Ah Fu, you idiot, don't you boil water and prepare for Miss to come back to take a bath, you are really too lazy to get home.
He hurried to the kitchen, scooped the water from the water tank into the cauldron with the help of a small stool, lit a fire to boil the water, and then laboriously carried a large wooden barrel taller than his height into the house, carefully wiped the inside and out of the barrel with a rag, and then spread flower petals and herbs on the bottom of the barrel.
The water boiled, he wiped the sweat on his head, and felt that he had done a good job: "Ah Fu, uh-huh, you have to remember in the future, you can't wait for the young lady to come back before you think of boiling water!" ”
