The soldiers who were dismissed and returned to the garrison were divided into several routes to the south. Some people are going to Shenyang and Liaoyang; A small number of people went to the west of Daning City, which belonged to the original Tunbao Guard of Daning Dusi. The military attachés would receive an official document, and when they arrived at the place where there was an official shop, they could eat, lod, and replenish their horses and grass for free.

Sun Yonger was supposed to go to Shenyang Zuowei, but the camp he set out was on this side of the Xiliao River, closer to Daning City. He took leave of absence from the hundred households, and wanted to follow the brothers in the direction of Daning to the south, and first go to pick up his family.

After dark, he went to see Zhou Yuanzhong, the upper peak of Jinyiwei, said hello, and informed him of his whereabouts.

Jinyiwei belongs to one of the emperor's personal guards, and he was originally a military position in Beijing, but this week Yuanzhong was stationed in Daning and was very familiar with everything in the local area. After listening to Sun Yonger's words, he immediately reacted, "Family? Do you mean the widow of the king who sells steamed buns at the entrance of the vegetable market? ”

Sun Yonger said: "Her surname is Li, and we are married." ”

Zhou Yuanzhong shook his head and said, "Second Sun, on the surface, we are the size of a seven-grade official for you." The seven-rank officer in the army is a bit like that, and he is indeed not as good as the magistrate who is a civilian official, but he is also in charge of dozens of people. You just find a widow to be your match, and I say what are you good at? Not to mention that you must find an old Taishan with a seven-grade official, but what is the difficulty of marrying a yellow flower girl? ”

Sun Yonger smiled disapprerovingly: "I wanted her earlier." Zhou Yuanzhong didn't seem to look down on Sun Yonger's wife, but Sun Yonger didn't care about this kind of talk at all. After all, he used to be looked down on a lot of times, and Shangguan was just joking.

Zhou Yuanzhong exhaled: "Forget it, I can't care about this kind of thing." ”

Sun Yonger hugged his fists and said: "The last general will retire." ”

Zhou Yuanzhong stopped him again, looked at his legs and said, "Can you ride a horse?" ”

Sun Yonger said: "I've been raising it for more than a month, and it's okay to ride a horse." It's just that it still hurts a little to walk. ”

Zhou Yuanzhong nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Sun Yonger had an arrow wound on his left calf, which had healed on the outside, and his flesh was not yet complete. However, some of the doctors in the wounded barracks were famous doctors sent by Jingshitai Hospital, and most of them healed Sun Yonger's wounds.

This wound was left when the Tatars were lured to attack the baggage camp. At that time, Sun Yonger's left guard in Shenyang was one of the men and horses on the left wing who feinted to lure the enemy. This kind of thing is generally done by the guards and the elite from the Beijing camp; Some of the guards are not feints at all, they are really defeated, and they are very realistic.

The Tatar cavalry was really sharp, and Sun Yonger had no experience, so he stood in the wrong position, and when the cavalry approached, he immediately hit several arrows. Fortunately, before leaving, the army was issued with a set of armor, and the arrows on the chest and thigh were only wounded to the skin, and only the arrow on the calf was very deep.

At that time, a small flag commander surnamed Zhang carried Sun Yonger on his back and ran eastward, and Sun Yonger was out of danger. When he went to Shenyang, Sun Yonger wanted to have a drink with him. In the battle array, even the general and the general will die, and if he doesn't rely on his companions, he may not be able to come back. Just like He Hao, the general who was originally in Daning City and said the same, he took the lead in the horse war and made up for his achievements, and was cut down by the Tatars miserably.

A few days later, the teams of the Weisho Army on the west road found the Laoha River and went south along the river.

The hillsides in the distance are mostly wasteland, and some of the gravel land is barren

Grass doesn't grow. However, the water and grass around the valley are abundant, and the grass grows to the height of a man in summer, and the land here is very fertile. It's just that there are almost no people around, and occasionally you can see some herdsmen's tents, which should be the Uliangha people of Fuyuwei.

The crowd continued to move south, and everyone could see the Ming army's tunbao and official shops. Most of those tunpu are also near the Laoha River, and people have carved out the water-rich river valleys into crop fields. The Han people still like to farm the land and not to live husbandry, because with the same large land, they can harvest more by farming.

The battlefield filled with gunsmoke and blurred flesh and blood has gone away, and on the sunny riverbank, the families of the soldiers of the military tun are watching the soldiers on the post road from a distance in the rice fields. From time to time, the laughter of children can be heard. There was a child on the edge of the field who pointed to the men and horses on the road and called out to his father, who was also a sergeant in the military camp and wore the same clothes. Soon a woman came from the field, took the child in her arms, and left. The men on the road laughed, and some people called the child father in various dialects.

Sun Yonger looked at all this, and only felt that he was thinking about the Li family more than in the barracks.

When he was about to arrive in Daning City, Sun Yonger changed his clothes in a post station and put on the neat and beautiful military uniform. This uniform is generally worn during inspections and ceremonies, and it is inconvenient to wear when marching and arranging, and there is no place to wash the white lining.

So the soldiers who accompanied him all looked at him like monkeys, and some of them even spoke in various dialects and sarcastically said two sentences. Most of the Han people in Liaodong moved over after the Hongwu year, and the military households and family members were the majority, and there were people from everywhere.

But Sun Yongji didn't care. This time, he not only injured his leg on the battlefield, but also bruised his face when he fell. He only thought that when he met his newlywed wife who had just been together for a few days, he was so embarrassed and changed back to his original bear appearance.

When Sun Yonger rode to the entrance of the vegetable market, all the familiar scenes appeared in front of him again. It was still as noisy as it was, surrounded by tall pavilions and dilapidated shops, and the peddlers and pawns and decent rich people were all moving on the same street.

In front of Wang Ji's shop, there were still a few people buying steamed buns there. Sure enough, Li was also here to help, and she was rubbing her face in the shop.

Sun Yonger led the horse and walked over slowly, his leg still a little lame. The old woman of the Wang family, who was selling steamed buns, was the first to see him, and she blurted out in surprise: "You are back." ”

A few people who bought steamed buns looked back at Sun Yonger one after another. He was neatly dressed, with weapons on his body and a horse in his hand, but his face had changed a little after months of sleeping in the open air, and his lame appearance was a little vicissitudes. Li Shi also raised his head and looked at Sun Yonger. There was also a look of surprise on her face, and she stared at Sun Yonger for a long time, and after a while she came back to her senses, stroked her sweaty sideburns with the back of her hand, and walked out of the door quickly.

"Where are you hurt?" Li asked with concern, his face full of pity.

Sun Yonger shook his head and said, "It's okay, let the Tatar horsemen shoot an arrow on the leg, it's almost ready." ”

"It's good that people are okay." Li Shi hurriedly turned around and said, "I'll go wash my hands and tie the horse, you can quickly go into the house and sit." ”

Sun Yonger found a place at the door, tied the horse, and then entered the house. Li squatted in front of him again, he had to see if his injuries mattered, he patted his left leg and said, "The scars on the outside are all healed, I can't see anything, go back and look at it." ”

Li said: "There is a Langzhong on the other side, I heard that God is very good, I will call him in a while." ”

Sun Yonger said: "Can God be the medical officer of the Tai Hospital?" Seeing that the Li family didn't quite understand, he said, "The medicine sent by the Holy Lord is also a good medicine for the emperor." ”

Li asked kindly: "Husband must be hungry, the steamed buns are too oily, I'll cook a bowl of noodles." ”

"Don't be busy, sit down, I have something to say." Sun Yong said, he glanced at the old woman of the Wang family in front of the shop again.

Li had no choice but to sit down on the bench next to him.

Sun Yonger said: "I came back from leave, and I have to go to Shenyang Zuowei as soon as possible." I said that I would take you to Shenyang after the battle, and the two old men would go, and the shop here would be transferred to someone else as soon as possible. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "I haven't received the official salary for the past few months; I heard that after winning the battle, the Holy Lord will allocate money to reward the soldiers, and it is estimated that there is still a sum of money. If you take the money, you will arrange it, and you don't have to worry about your livelihood in the past. ”

The old woman turned her head and said, "We're not going." ”

Sun Yonger said: "Where to do business is not to do, when you get to the east, you can take care of it." ”

Li Shi said cautiously: "Your harvest can be used to buy a family business, and you are an official person, are we dragging you down?" ”

Sun Yonger smiled, shook his head and said: "In the past, I escaped from the guard, and I had no land and no livelihood in Daning City, just like a ruined settlement with no whereabouts, eating and drinking alone, and I don't know what to do in the future, and no one knows when I die." Later, when I bought steamed buns at your house and saw your mother and daughter, I felt that there was still a ...... in this world Nice people. Sometimes I dream that I can have such a family member, and I can have a woman and a child to warm the kang head. ”

He said it very plainly, but suddenly remembered to say it casually. However, Li was very moved, she looked at Sun Yonger, and her eyes were faintly red. Her expression looked a little sad, but Sun Yonger was not uncomfortable, and she didn't know why she looked like that. Perhaps, only when you are a little famous and recall the past at this moment, you will have a sad feeling.

Sun Yonger was also affected by her emotions, and said a few more words: "You are very good to people, and you look good when you smile." The little girl is alive and kicking all day long, which makes people happy. If I hadn't met you two people, I really didn't think there was much in this world. ”

Sun Yonger was also a little surprised for a while, he said it from the heart, but he didn't expect that he would be able to say it. It's okay to say it, Li is really a little uncomfortable in front of him, and she flatters him too much, maybe she also feels that marrying an official is a bit unreasonable. As Zhou Yuanzhong said, this is not very common.

However, it was still very noisy outside, and all kinds of shouting and shouting, and occasionally the sound of laughter and scolding, were incompatible with the mood here. And Sun Yonger and the Li family didn't care, even the old woman of the Wang family seemed to be forgotten by them for a while.

Li Shi stretched out his hand and held Sun Yonger's palm, his red eyes suddenly showed a smile, and he whispered, "Let's go with you." When you get to Shenyang Zuowei, I will give you a few babies and live a good life together. ”

Sun Yonger was also happy and said with a smile: "It's good, it's good." ”

Outside the door, there were some potholes on the brick floor, and the dust was as good as before. But today's sunshine seems to be especially bright.
