Thousands of troops cried bitterly, and the 800 battalions of swords and guns groaned night and night, murderous!

All the people mourned, the three thousand miles of Guanlong were covered with vegetarian, and the mountains and rivers were discolored!

……

Qin Mubai, kneeling alone in front of the brazier in the mourning hall, threw paper money into the brazier page by page.

It's been three days, and he's almost kept it that way.

No food, no tears, no sound.

Li Daozong led a group of people to preside over the condolences in the large mourning hall of the former house, and the generals of the three armies and the officials of Zhuzhou County attended the scene one by one. Wu Meiniang's family, Princess Gaoyang and others wore linen and filial piety to guard the back hall, and accompanied Qin Mubai to burn incense and paper on Qin Shubao's clothes and spiritual position.

At this moment, Qin Mubai drove everyone away, and only one person served in front of the spiritual seat. Although Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang were deeply worried and refused to leave, at this moment, they didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Father's ......"

Qin Mubai gently put down a page of paper money into the brazier, just like when Pinming talked to Qin Shubao when he chatted in the past, and whispered: "San Lang looks forward to your return, looking forward to the autumn water." But where are you at the moment? ”

"The eagle flute is very beautiful, and I think in the future, the eagle or the flute will definitely like it."

"Your old cold leg won't hurt anymore. In this life, San Lang will not be able to defeat you with a tiger's head and a golden gun on a horse. ”

"Father, you know what? In Saburo's heart, you are a mountain, I step on your shoulders to climb to the peak, look up at the stars and reach out to touch the sky; You are a strong horse, San Lang rides on your body, galloping thousands of miles in high spirits; You are an all-powerful god, and whenever Saburo loses his soul and is helpless, as long as he thinks of you, he can always radiate endless strength and courage. ”

"But now, you're gone......"

"I regret it! …… I shouldn't have healed your legs, just let you rest at home and retire. That way, at least you're still there! …… I am a cowardly, unfilial and frivolous and prodigal son, I want to glorify the lintel of the Qin family to do a career that I think is beautiful, but I have caused my old and sick father to work hard, but I rely on your snort, and I am proud of it......"

"Father, I'd rather trade everything I have now, including my life, for you to still be alive...... Did you hear that? Saburo saw through everything and thought it through. What hegemony, achievements, fame and fortune are all fleeting. There is nothing more cherished than flesh and blood...... Father, Saburo's biggest regret in this life is that I didn't let you see my children, and I couldn't let them rejoice in front of you. I know that's what you want...... If I could turn back time, I would rather not be reckless and not enter the official career, become a biological child at home, honor you, and send you to the end of your old age......"

……

A deep whisper, with no second listener. Qin Shubao's spiritual seat was placed on the top, and smoke was swirling.

In the ear room of the adjacent room, the window was gently opened a slit, and Princess Gaoyang, whose eyes were red, secretly peeked at Qin Mubai's side, biting her lip tightly.

"Come back, don't look at it." Wu Meiniang pulled her back and closed the window.

"Mei Niang, I'm so worried about the ...... of the curtain white" Princess Gaoyang's eyes cried like peaches, and at this moment tears rolled down again, and said softly, "I've known him for so many years, I've never seen him like this." Not crying, not laughing, not speaking, not sleeping, it's like suffering from a loss of heart ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu Meiniang scolded her and blocked her words, and said, "You haven't experienced this kind of pain, so you won't understand." When my father died, I was a child, and it was like the sky had fallen. What's more, Yi Guogong still died at the hands of the enemy, and now the bones have not returned...... The princess was deeply hurt but there were no tears. Mu Bai is unusual, which is understandable. ”

"I'm worried right now about whether he's going to go to extremes...... Look at him, it's been three days, except for sitting there burning paper and talking alone, and he doesn't care about everything from everyone in the outside world. ”

"I believe that Mu Bai is not the kind of fragile man who can withstand such a blow. Give him a moment's time! I remember that Mu Bai used to say that it is always easy for a girl to become a woman; For a boy to become a man, he has to go through a lot of hardships and hardships. The death of Yi Guogong was a heart-wrenching tragedy and suffering for him. Now, he is like a snake shedding its skin, hurting to the point of pain, but later it will be more tenacious and mature. ”

"Mei Niang, why can you always be so reasonable and think about everything so clearly......" Princess Gao Yang sighed and said, "I only know that I am worried about Mu Bai...... Didn't think about anything else. ”

"Why am I not worried? In fact, seeing him like this, we are more uncomfortable than him. Wu Meiniang also sighed and said, "I'd rather him be like Yuwen Hongtai, crying, scolding, yelling, and venting wantonly...... That way, everything will be fine. ”

"That's a good man, my mother likes it." Su Lian, who was sitting on the side, said coldly, "Dare to love and hate, dare to cry and scold, such a man is enough to taste." Qin Mubai was under too much pressure, he had too many things on his mind, he wanted to cry and couldn't cry, he couldn't scold him, but he was quite pitiful. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, believe it or not, Princess Ben slaps your stinky mouth!" Princess Gaoyang said angrily, "You like that wild boar-like man, you go to find it, you go to marry, Hugh has to comment on my family's Mu Baipin!" You're not qualified! ”

"If you don't say it, you don't say it, why are you angry?" Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and snorted, "I didn't say anything bad about him, really!" ”

"Okay, don't make a noise to Mu Bai." Wu Meiniang walked between the two to persuade them, pondered for a moment, and said, "Looking at Mu Bai's situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for a while." Even if he won't be fine, but this will hurt his body after all, and the spirit of the Wing Kingdom Duke in the sky doesn't want to see him so sad and depressed...... I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not? ”

"Speak quickly!"

"That's it...... ...... like this"

It's nightfall.

The lights in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were still bright, and the undisguised cries of men could be heard from time to time, and many sergeants took turns to climb onto the roof, using soul flags to summon Qin Shubao's spirit. The mournful cry was heard far away in the night sky.

Qin Mubai was still sitting in front of the brazier burning paper, with a few cold meals beside him, and he didn't move at all.

At this moment, a string of soft bells sounded at the door of the mourning hall. Light, pleasant, unrestrained, out of step with the dreary and mournful atmosphere, they were walking towards the house.

Qin Mubai, who had been locking himself in a confined space, was also attracted by this string of crisp and small bells, and couldn't help but stop his movements and turn his head.

He saw that a very young child was standing at the door of the mourning hall, wearing a fiery red brocade robe and combing two rows of twist petals, blinking a pair of big black eyes, full of curiosity and a hint of confusion, looking at him.

"Where's the little girl?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be surprised.

When he saw this little girl for the first time, Qin Mubai's heart involuntarily throbbed slightly. It's like the past and the present, the old people meet. Déjà vu, but I can't remember where I've seen it.

The little girl stood quietly at the door, neither silent nor moving, a pair of tender little hands gently patted herself, and the two strings of red rope bells on her wrists rang lightly.

Two people, one big and one small, looked at each other strangely like this, Qin Mubai tried hard to recall where he had seen this little girl, why did he have such a feeling of déjà vu? And the little girl glanced at Qin Mubai, blinked her pair of smart black eyes, suddenly grinned shyly and funny, and ran to the side.

Suddenly, there was a stumble under her feet, and the little girl fell to the ground. Qin Mubai's heart was suddenly shocked, and he jumped up and hugged her.

The little girl didn't cry. After being picked up by Qin Mubai, he looked at him and grinned, and the two pink little hands were still gently patting, jingling, jingling.

"Whose child are you, how did you get here?" Qin Mubai glanced around outside the house and saw no one else, so he walked into the mourning hall with her in his arms, sat down on a big chair, and finally showed his first smile in a few days, and asked while teasing her, "What about your parents?" ”

"My mother asked me to come." The little girl is still very young, and she can't walk steadily, and she is obviously still babbling.

"And where did your mother go?"

"There it is!" The little girl pointed outward.

Qin Mubai hugged her and walked to the door to look around, there was still no one!

"Maybe I walked away for a while, you stay here obediently and wait for your mother to come back, okay?" For this beautiful and cute, childish and aura little girl, Qin Mubai was happy and fell in love, so he carried her back to the house and sat down.

The little girl didn't seem to be afraid of the living at all, and let him hold and sit on his lap, shaking her wrists all the time, making jingling sounds, and sometimes letting out innocent and unrestrained laughter, and never tired of it.

"Back then, my father used to hug and tease me like this......" Glancing at the spiritual position, Qin Mubai smiled unconsciously and said to the little girl, "Tell uncle, what's your name?" ”

"Xiao Lou'er!"

"What?" Qin Mubai was stunned!

"Xiaolou'er!" The little girl said with a grin.

Qin Mubai's heartstrings moved, hugged her upright, and asked her, "Then what is your mother's name?" ”

"Calling the mother......

"What about your father?"

The little girl seemed to be a little intimidated, pouting and looking at Qin Mubai a little scared, not daring to speak.

"Okay, good...... Uncle loves you, and will buy you candy later...... Tell your uncle, what's your father's name? ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Qin Mubai was suddenly at a loss, thinking that this child was too young to be one or two years old at most, and it was normal to not be able to figure it out - it would be difficult to ask her family when the time came!

So, he was ready to pick her up and go out of the house to look for her family.

"Mother said, Dad is the most handsome man in the world, and he is still a big hero...... the little girl said suddenly.

Qin Mubai's footsteps froze, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Xiao Lou'er, tell your uncle, are you ...... Surname Qin? ”

"That's right! How do you know? …… My name is Qin Xiaolou! ”

Qin Mubai picked her up high, stared at her well-behaved and agile black eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you, are you going to cry or laugh?"

“…… Call Daddy! ”

"What? You're not my daddy! I haven't seen my dad since I was born! ”

"Xiao Lou'er is good, call Daddy ......"

"Don't scream! You are not the most handsome man in the world, and the great hero who stands up to the sky! ”

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, with a warm voice in the calm, and came softly - "Xiaolou'er, be good, call Dad!" ”

Qin Mubai stared at the door with wide eyes in astonishment, "Yan! ”

"It's me." Chen Yan's smile was the same as when I first saw it.

“…… Xiao Lou'er, is it really my daughter?! ”

"Yes."

"Hmm!" Qin Mubai nodded heavily, tried to squeeze out a smile to look at Xiao Lou'er, and said softly: "Xiao Lou'er is good, call Daddy ......"

"Daddy!!" Xiao Lou'er cried out unrestrainedly and cheerfully, and giggled.

"Good! Xiao Lou'er is good! Qin Mubai hugged her tightly in his arms, and tears finally burst out of his eyes without being able to look up......

Holding her, Qin Mubai knelt in front of the spirit, crying like a child-

"Father! Have you seen it in the Heavenly Spirit? What a well-behaved and beautiful child, you can see at a glance that she is the blood of my Qin family! - She's your granddaughter, Xiao Lou'er! ”

Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang quietly appeared at the door, standing left and right beside Chen Yan. The three women burst into tears like rain.

"Mei Niang, are you still smart...... As soon as Xiao Lou'er came, Mu Bai would be fine. It's good to cry out, I've been suppressed like this, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him! Princess Gao Yang was relieved and said while wiping her tears.

At this moment, only flesh and blood affection can open Mu Bai's heart, and can make him return to tranquility and soothe his pain...... Sister Yan, from today onwards, don't run away and leave again. We are a family, Mu Bai needs you and Xiaolou'er! Wu Meiniang sobbed in a low voice.

"I'm not leaving." Chen Yan smiled with tears, looked at the father and daughter who hugged each other tightly in the hall with sadness and relief, and said softly, "I can have nothing, but I can't live without Xiaolou'er; And my little building can't live without a father! ……”
