Chapter 166: False News
When An Xiabai rushed back to Lu's house, as soon as she entered the door, she heard the earth-shattering cry of the family, not only Zhou's cry, but also Xiaodong Xiaoxue's crying voice, she heard it in her ears and was anxious in her heart.
"Aunt Zhou, what's wrong with you?" She hurried to the room where the crying was screaming, and then walked over to Zhou, who was crying on the bed.
Zhou hugged Xiaoxue and cried breathlessly: "I cried for my hard-working child, he finally managed to make a difference, but his life was buried in this good year!" There are also two children, they are still so young, they have lost their father like this, how will they live in the future? ”
Seeing that Zhou was crying sadly, Anxia's white nose was sour and uncomfortable.
Her eyes turned to look at Lu Liu'er not far away, and saw that the latter was frowning and crying, and immediately dispelled the original intention of questioning.
The reason why he was reluctant to let Zhou know about the battle at the border was because he was afraid that she would be sad and sad, and the scene would not be easy to clean up at that time.
"Zhou, the gossip we hear may not be taken seriously, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the general has been on the battlefield more than a dozen times, not to mention a dozen or dozens of times, how can he be easily ambushed by the enemy?" She supported Zhou and spoke in a gentle voice as much as possible, "There is also the government, and there has been no news from their side, if the general has something, they must have come to report it first, and there has been no movement so far, which means that the news from outside may be fake." ”
"You have a point." Zhou's crying gradually eased, but his expression was still stunned, "Maybe the rumors outside are false." ”
An Xiabai hurriedly agreed: "It must be fake." ”
She thought she could persuade the Zhou family to look away, but she didn't expect the other party's thoughts to enter a dead end: "It can't be fake, people outside say this, they all have noses and eyes, how can they fake the news, as for the official government, maybe the official government sees that the two children are still young, and they can't bear to say this bad news." ”
Zhou said, and directly hugged the two children into his arms: "You two hard-working children, what can you do in the future?" ”
Xiaodong Xiaoxue was also crying and crying, but after seeing An Xiabai in a blink of an eye, their crying gradually stopped.
After all, they are two children who are not sensible, and crying with them is just seeing Lu Liuer and Zhou crying sadly.
Now that he was hugged by Zhou again, tears fell on his cheeks, and he immediately pursed his lips and cried.
Obviously they are the people who should be sad and sad, but they cry harder than themselves.
An Xiabai's heart ached like a knife, and tears were accumulated in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law," just when she was almost crying, Lu Liu'er suddenly took her hand, there were undried tears on her delicate and lovely face, and there were also many apologies and shame, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell my mother, but my mother kept asking, I didn't want to say it, I didn't expect it to cause such a situation." ”
If she knew that Zhou's emotions were so uncontrollable, she wouldn't dare to tell the outside world even if she was killed.
An Xiabai sighed and shook his head, seeing Lu Liu'er's pale and haggard appearance, he really couldn't blame him: "It's not your fault, Aunt Zhou has the right to know." ”
I didn't want to say it before, but I was afraid that her body wouldn't be able to bear it after she knew.
"You just don't tell me, I can guess it," Zhou was stunned and wept, "You may not believe it, some time ago, I always repeated a dream, in which my child was lying on the battlefield, lying with many corpses, his face was full of blood, but he still opened his eyes and told me that he was in pain." ”
The more Zhou said, the more fierce the tears became: "I really hope that the pain he endured can be transferred to me, a thousand times over, as long as he can live safely!" ”
As the saying goes, mother and son are connected, and it is estimated that when something happens, Zhou's is also sensitive, right?
An Xiabai let out another heavy sigh, then turned over a handkerchief from his body and leaned closer to wipe Zhou's tears.
"Aunt Zhou, you have to take care of your health."
As Lu Li's wife and mother of two children, he is the saddest and sadest person, but An Xiabai doesn't dare to cry.
It's not that I don't want to cry, it's that I don't dare to cry.
Not only that, but she also had to find a way to persuade Zhou and Lu Liuer to hold back their tears, after all, life always has to go on, no matter what happens, they always have to move forward, instead of looking back frequently.
Lu Li is gone, she is the pillar of this family, and she must not fall down easily.
An Xia Bai forcibly endured the grief and sadness in his heart, and also endured the urge to cry, and gently patted Zhou's back with his soft palm.
"Mother's ....."
Just when An Xiabai pretended to be strong, Xiao Dong suddenly called her, and then slowly crawled to her side.
The child's white and tender hand was holding a handkerchief, which seemed to have just been used to help Lu Liu'er wipe her tears.
He leaned into An Xiabai's arms, raised his hand and wiped it on An Xiabai's face with a handkerchief.
There were no tears, but he wiped them very seriously.
"Mother...."The ignorant child called her again, as if he saw that something was wrong with her expression, and hurriedly threw down his handkerchief, approached An Xiabai's face, and kissed her on the cheek seriously.
Seeing this, Xiaoxue also leaned over and kissed her.
An Xiabai's tears finally couldn't be contained.
The children were the last straw that broke her back.
Xiaoxue and Xiaodong are still so young, they can't even speak, Lu Li just left, and they will never see their father again.
Thinking of this, her tears flowed like a flood that burst its banks, and even a whimpering cry sounded in her throat.
Seeing this, Xiaodong Xiaoxue not only didn't cry, but approached An Xiabai left and right, and then stretched out her small arm to hug him.
An Xiabai cried even more fiercely.
Zhou and Lu Liu'er heard her crying, they couldn't hold back their tears, they wanted to persuade but didn't know where to start, so in desperation, they had to hug An Xiabai and cry together.
For a while, the Lu family was full of their crying voices.
The mournful cry even reached the ears of the gatekeeper, and his eyes couldn't help but pantothenic.
"It's really pitiful that the originally happy family is gone." The servant sighed, raised his hand to wipe his tears with his sleeve, and when he looked up again, he saw that there was another person in front of him.
A familiar person.
"General!" The servant exclaimed.
Lu Li nodded, his sword eyebrows were tightly twisted, and his handsome face showed a lot of concern: "Is there an accident at home, why is there crying everywhere?" ”
He finally returned to the capital, because he wanted to surprise An Xiabai, so he never delivered the news to the capital, he didn't expect that the first scene he saw after returning to Beijing was like this, and worry filled his heart for a while.
"Something, big thing!" The subordinate reacted and hurriedly raised his voice, "Because of what you did at the border, Mrs. and Aunt Zhou are about to cry blind, general, go and persuade them!" ”
What about the border?
The doubts in Lu Li's heart became more and more intense.
The affairs of the border pass have always been reported by the government, and now that the war situation has not been reported, why did An Xiabai and them receive the news?
Because the crying in the courtyard was getting louder and louder, Lu Li really couldn't tell the trick of it, he rushed to the room quickly, and rushed into An Xiabai's sight.
"Madame, I'm back!"
Besides, An Xiabai, she was crying breathlessly, and her vision was blurred by tears, when she suddenly heard Lu Li's voice, and thought it was her auditory hallucination.
When she looked up and saw Lu Li again, she was stunned for a moment.
"Husband?"
Lu Li smiled and nodded: "It's me, I'm back!" ”
He opened his arms to An Xiabai, but the latter did not move, and she frowned, as if she had seen something incredible.
Lu Li subconsciously took a few steps back: "Could it be that there is something on my face?" ”
No one in the room answered his question, and everyone looked at him in a daze.
Lu Li finally tasted that something was wrong.
Could it be that the crying in the house shook the sky, not because of an accident, but because of themselves, An Xiabai and they felt that they had died on the battlefield?
His doubts were quickly confirmed, because An Xiabai stood up, but did not dare to approach.
Her delicate leather face was full of grief: "Husband, you don't have to worry over there, I will take care of the affairs of the family, and there are two children, I will definitely raise them safely-"
Before An Xiabai's words could be finished, Lu Li sneered and reached out to block her lips.
"Madam, are you crying so fiercely today, do you mistakenly think that I have died on the battlefield?"
An Xiabai looked at him stunned: "Everyone said that when you led your troops into battle, you were ambushed by the enemy, and then you couldn't come back. ”
"It's true that you were ambushed, but it's fake that you didn't come back." Lu Li shook his head and pretended to be relaxed, "Who are the people who deliberately spread rumors, when I have time, I must find them out and beat them up to make Mrs. angry, these tears must not be shed in vain." ”
When he spoke, his expression was very vivid, and this was definitely not a change in expression that a ghost could have.
And his body temperature.
An Xiabai could clearly feel the temperature of his lips, which was the thoughtfulness that only living people would have.
The Lu Li in front of him is not a ghost who came to visit his relatives because he was obsessed, but a living person.
The grief on her face turned into joy.
Lu Li didn't know what she was thinking, and thought that she didn't believe her words, and was thinking about what way to make An Xiabai believe it, so the latter pounced directly on him.
"Husband, I miss you so much!" She buried her head in Lu Li's arms, and there were still tears flowing slowly in her eyes, but they were not sad tears, but happy tears.
"I know, I miss you too." Lu Li's heart softened into a puddle of water, and his generous palm gently patted An Xiabai's back, "Madam, I'm sorry, I haven't written to you for so long because I want to surprise you." Alas, if I had known that the loss of news would cause you such worries, I should have written you a letter every day, no matter how big or small, to tell you! ”
His look of remorse fell on An Xia's white eyes, in exchange for a smile on the corner of his lips.
That smile is like a thawing breeze in spring, and it also melts the frost on Lu Liu'er and Zhou's hearts.
Since Lu Li is still alive, doesn't it mean that Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong are also safe?
