Chapter 3: A Long Conversation on a Starry Night
Lan Ziyi rode on a galloping horse, feeling like an eagle flying in the sky,
The snow is white, and the vast earth is flying under your feet,
In this flight, time almost stops,
Flowing only the land that has been passed behind you,
As well as clouds hanging in the sky and mountains stretched into a wall.
Lan Ziyi had never felt like this, he turned himself into a meteor in the night sky, leaving infinite possibilities in the infinite vast universe.
It seems that Lan Ziyi is the only one left in the world, and it seems that the whole world is in his heart.
"So it's so enjoyable to ride a horse!" Lan Ziyi thought to himself.
When he knew that he was going to go, Lan Ziyi remembered that he had always been reluctant to learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows.
There wasn't much time left when it came to the end, so I had to bite the bullet.
In the first few times, I couldn't even get on horseback, and I was thrown off the horse.
Although there were a group of skilled horsemen in the border army to teach, and finally got on horseback,
But I still can't run fast.
Fortunately, Tao Lao Mi understood Lanzi's righteous temperament and said:
"The young master is talented and intelligent, he didn't break the jar when he was thrown off the horse just now, and he didn't practice, and he was very tough, even if he didn't practice, he wouldn't be slow to get started. The young master relaxed when he got on the horse this time, his back was straight, and his hand grasped the reins, the most important thing is to know psychologically, the horse is human, and the more anxious you are, the more anxious it will be with you. Think of the horse as your friend, your partner, and when you ride it, you will be in touch with each other, and then it will become your own body. Come young master, try again. ”
After this click, Lan Ziyi realized the key to riding,
The result was out of control,
After getting on the horse, he rode his horse all the way, and the Lan brothers chased after him.
At this time, Lan Ziyi is still running,
Behind him, Tao Zhulu shouted loudly:
"Young master, slow down, the horse can't stand it!"
Tao Zhulu is the second oldest of the three brothers, although he usually speaks little, but he is thoughtful and to the point, as long as he is given something to him, he will definitely be fully prepared. No, he found that the horses were tired of running, and hurriedly reminded Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi slowly stopped the horse, and after waiting for the three brothers of the Tao family to come closer, he said excitedly:
"I used to be angry with my dad and didn't learn to ride a horse, but today I found out that I was so happy. If my second brother hadn't reminded me, I would have to run again. ”
Tao Zhutu handed Lan Ziyi a skin bag containing water,
Lan Ziyi took it and poured several sips.
桃扵鹿 says:
"Young master, the endurance of horses is limited, even these good horses I picked can't gallop like this for a long time. In this way, the horse has to run away. ”
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he looked down at the horses, and sure enough, they were all out of breath and sweating profusely.
Lan Ziyi smiled embarrassedly and said:
"I was so excited, I couldn't control it."
At this time, Tao Zhuhu said:
"Young master, let's get off the horse and rest first, let the horses breathe a sigh of relief, and then go after changing horses."
Lan Ziyi nodded and said, "Listen to the eldest brother's orders!" ”
A few people dismounted and rested for a while, waiting for the horses to recover some strength before changing horses and leaving.
This time, Lan Ziyi did not ride his horse and galloped, and the four of them walked north for a while talking and laughing, and in the evening, several people found a place to tie the horses and set up camp.
As night fell, darkness gradually enveloped the earth,
After the sun sets, it is replaced by a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and a few stars in the night sky,
The snow stains on the grassland reflect the moonlight, and from a distance, it looks like islands in the water.
The four of them sat around the campfire,
Against the backdrop of the campfire, the sky seems to be covered with the earth,
The moon and the stars hung there, almost within reach.
Lan Ziyi was lying on a piece of felt, his head resting on his right hand, and his left hand stretched out to envelop the moon.
With a swing of his fingers, the moon flashed in his eyes.
Tao Zhulu added a few pieces of cow dung to the bonfire, and Tao Zhuhu scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Tao Zhutu.
After the peach chased the rabbit and the soup, he walked up to Lan Ziyi and said:
"Young master, don't patronize and play with the moon, get up and have dinner."
Lan Ziyi made it at once, took the rice bowl handed over by Tao Zhutu, blew and took a sip.
Tao Zhutu took out the prepared dry food snack, opened it and handed it to Lan Ziyi, Ziyi took a piece of dim sum and ate it with the hot soup in the bowl.
The three brothers of the Tao family also divided the soup one after another, and sat next to Lan Ziyi to eat together.
Seeing Lan Ziyi's joy in eating, Tao Zhutu asked:
"Young master, how is the eldest brother's craftsmanship?"
Lan Ziyi swallowed what was in his mouth, nodded and said:
"Big brother's skills are really good, I will eat more in the future."
Tao Zhuhu smiled:
"Young Master, you're out to have fun today, and everything you eat is delicious."
Speaking of this, everyone laughed together.
After laughing enough, Lan Ziyi said:
"In the past, my father let me learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and let me go out with him to hunt, but I couldn't fight with him. I walked out with a few brothers today, and I suddenly felt refreshed. Except that the weather is a little colder, everything else is fine. “
The last sentence made everyone laugh,
Tao Zhutu took off the roast chicken from the bonfire shelf, tore off the chicken leg and handed it to Lan Ziyi,
Lan Ziyi waved his hand and pointed to the chicken breast, Tao Zhutu immediately understood the meaning, and tore off half of the chicken breast and gave it to Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi greeted the three brothers while eating chicken breasts:
"A few brothers eat together."
Seeing that the three brothers had cleaned up the chickens, Lan Ziyi seemed to think of something, so he asked Tao Zhuhu:
"How's the front line? Are you eating enough? “
Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu couldn't help but put down the chicken in his hand and said:
"Although the general fought the heaviest grain and grass, but this time the situation was too bad, when I came back, although the front battle stopped, but the food was still pitiful, although I could eat three meals a day, but two meals were porridge, every time I transported grain and grass, I had to lose a lot of labor along the way, not to mention the livestock that transported grain."
Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this and said:
"In winter, the combat losses are already large, and besides, it is difficult to supply grain and grass for thousands of miles. I've always been opposed to my father's sending troops this time. “
Hearing this peach chase deer said:
"Chasing the migration of water and grass, living in no fixed place, nomadic in everything that has nothing to do, and gathering the masses when there is something to do. Usually, even if you go out to fight, you can only catch a few prisoners, but the main force has already run away. “
Tao Zhuhu nodded, and continued:
"The reason why the general chose to go out at the beginning of winter last year is because it is the season of horse fat after autumn, and there is no grass on the grassland in winter. Although the expedition was hard, it was able to catch the main force. “
Lan Ziyi sighed after hearing this, put aside the empty bowl he had eaten, and lay back on the felt.
Tao Zhuhu said again:
"Young master, how can there be immortals in war, it doesn't matter if we are the ones who hob all day long, young master, you can rest assured."
Tao Zhulu continued:
"Young master, there is never a perfect plan, if you don't pick this opportunity, you can't fight, and if you pick this opportunity, you have to endure additional losses, at this time we can only make a choice, and try to make things go in the direction we want to develop."
Seeing that the atmosphere was heavy, Tao Chatu hurriedly joked
"Young master, eldest brother, second brother, don't think about these things when you finally go out of the jam, you can't think about it clearly, if you want me to say that people have been like this for decades, eating and having fun is the most important thing, why bother yourself?"
After hearing this, everyone smiled, and asked again:
"Young master, what are you going to do when you come back this time?"
Lan Ziyi replied:
"Of course, I continued to study and prepare for the township exam. It's just that it's very likely that he won't stay in Luoyan Pass anymore. ”
Tao Zhutu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked:
"Not in Luoyan Pass? Where to go? ”
Lan Ziyi replied:
"Dad, what he has made this time is an immortal meritorious service, with my Taizheng tradition, this time I will not let him lead the army when I go back to the imperial court, and I should recruit my father to be the third prince of the dynasty and enter Beijing to retire. In this way, I can only follow to the Imperial City. ”
After hearing this, Peach Rabbit suddenly realized,
Lan Ziyi then asked:
"What are the plans of the third brother?"
After hearing this, Peach Rabbit said with a hippie smile:
"If the general goes to the imperial city, my father will definitely go too, so I will naturally open my eyes with you, young master. I heard that there are a lot of places to play in the imperial city, so I have to play well with the young master. ”
Tao Zhuhu smiled:
"You can play if you want, don't pull the young master up."
Tao Zhutu smiled after hearing this, and Lan Ziyi then asked Tao Zhuhu:
"What are the plans of the eldest brother. After this battle, there will be no fighting in the north for a long time. ”
Tao Zhuhu took a sip of the water in the leather bag, looked up at the starry sky, and said:
"I'm definitely staying in Luoyan Pass, there is no battle in the north, there are other places where there will be wars, I am used to the feeling of fighting on the battlefield."
Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhulu again and asked:
"What about the second brother? What's the plan? ”
Tao Zhulu put away the tableware he had eaten, picked up the bonfire again, and replied:
"I don't know, maybe I joined the army like my eldest brother. If the general really enters the imperial city, then it is even more likely that I will go with my father. “
After speaking, everyone was silent for a while, everyone lay on the felt and looked up at the starry sky, and a wolf howl cut through the sky in the distance.
Lan Ziyi was a little nervous when he heard this.
桃淚虎 says:
"Young master, don't panic, this wolf howl is far away from us, and we have a bonfire, the wolf will not approach."
There was another silence, Lan Ziyi stared at the night sky,
The moon and the stars are moving, and only they are still, perhaps just Lan Ziyi thinks so.
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"What do you think my brothers are here for?"
The Tao brothers were a little stunned when they heard this, and Tao Zhulu said:
"It's to do something, right?"
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"Why do these things? Why do you do these things? “
No one answered this time, so Tao Zhutu asked rhetorically:
"Young Master, why do you think you came to this world?"
Lan Ziyi looked at the moon, the moonlight was so soft, the starry sky was so vast, it seemed to be full of infinite possibilities,
He replied:
"I guess it's to leave something behind."
Peach Rabbit smiled and said:
"Isn't that right? Engaged, married, gave birth to a child, and then hugged a grandson, young master, your children and grandchildren will stay. ”
Lan Ziyi shook his head when he heard this, looked at the night sky and said:
"I want to leave something, like the moon in the sky, if it's not the moon, it's a star, I want to leave something. Not future generations, although I will have future generations. I wanted to leave something that would be remembered, so I didn't go against my father's intentions this time, because I knew that it would be remembered and would be remembered in the future. I want to be as infinite as the starry sky. ”
The brothers of the Tao family also listened attentively, and everyone looked at the starry sky in a daze, and slowly seemed to merge into the starry sky, only Tao Zhutu said in a trance:
"Young master, what you want is really different."
