The guy's family lives in the back street, there is a small courtyard, a small wooden house.

All the way to the home, the guy said to Lu Rongyan on the way that his surname was Lin, and only one old mother was still in the family.

"Originally, there was a brother and sister-in-law, but the barbarian conscripted to build a fort the year before last, was taken away, and never came back. My sister-in-law died of illness in the next year, and I didn't leave a queen for my brother. ”

When Xiao Linzi said this, he didn't have any grief, he must have been numb for a long time.

Lu Rong is not easy to pick up, but fortunately, the Lin family is not far from the wine shop, and it is only two steps away, so it will avoid some embarrassment.

Xiao Linzi pushed the door into the courtyard, first straightened the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and touched the floating ash.

"Big brother, you sit first, I'll go into the house and ask the old lady to come out."

Lu Rong nodded, "I'm tired of the little brother." "I didn't sit down, I just stood to the side and looked around.

The courtyard is not big, but it is also full, there is a wooden table and two benches in the middle of the courtyard, and the tables and chairs of the wine shop are the same style, there is a big broom in the west corner of the courtyard, a pile of firewood, there is a layer of rice on the ground, it is drying, and I don't know who planted it in the ground, or harvested it. There is a wooden cart on the east side of the courtyard, and there are several large buckets and a flat pole on the side of the car, which seems to be used to carry water on weekdays.

There was two coughs in the house, and an old lady came out, about sixty years old, in good spirits, and her legs and feet were still neat. While going out, I looked at the landing capacity with a good eye. Xiao Linzi followed behind, with a little displeasure on his face.

Lu Rong hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed his hand and said, "Hello aunt, the little nephew is reasonable." ”

The old lady didn't answer, there was a little fear in her eyes, and she went straight out. Passing by Lu Rong's side, he deliberately took a few more steps and stayed a long distance.

Lu Rong looked stunned, and the posture of clenching his fists and bowing continued until the old lady went out, and it seemed that the old lady was not very willing to cause trouble to come to the door, sighed secretly, turned to Xiao Linzi and said: "Otherwise, don't bother, little brother, you can help me fill the kettle." ”

Xiao Linzi hurriedly waved his hand, grabbed Lu Rong to the table, pressed it to the seat and said, "It's okay, big brother, my mother has such a temper, she went out to buy meat." Big brother, you can rest assured here. ”

Lu Rong didn't want to leave like this, where did he go. He excused himself and asked, "The little brother over there at the wine shop is on leave?" ”

Xiao Linzi entered the house and took a pot of tea and two cups, poured it for Lu Rong, and said: "There is no dine-in in that wine shop all year round, it's just a neighbor's wine, and the shopkeeper is my cousin, it's okay." ”

Seeing that there was no one left and right, he leaned over and asked, "Big brother, are you really a soldier?" ”

Lu Rong groaned for a while, and it was not good to lie again, so he nodded and said, "Well, I was originally a soldier of Youzhou Fallen Maguan, and I was defeated and escaped. ”

Xiao Linzi's eyes leaked with excitement, and he asked: "I know that I am not too far away, I went to Laiyuan one year, and I saw it from afar, what is your position over there, big brother?" Can you show me your saber again? ”

Lu Rong was embarrassed: "I'm just a little chief, this knife ...... At night, in broad daylight, it's not good if you are seen. Lu Rong opened his mouth and promoted himself to the next level first.

Xiao Linzi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let's eat first and then see." ”

Lu Rong lowered his head to drink water, but Xiao Linzi rubbed his hands excitedly.

Lu Rong remembered something and asked, "Are there any barbarians in our town?" Where is the yamen? ”

Xiao Linzi poured tea for Lu Rong, and at the same time raised Nunu's mouth to the side, and said: "It's just behind the wine shop, well, the one in front is, there are no barbarians, and there are only a few people in this town." ”

Lu Rongshun took a look, not far away from a red and black house, with a big drum standing at the door, just across the street, and said in his heart: Xiaolinzi, the geographical location of your house is not bad, and it is more than 50 steps away from the yamen.

After a while, the old lady came back hobbling back, carrying a small piece of meat in her hand. In fact, Lu Rong has not eaten less meat in the past few days, and it is not bad at all, what he lacks most now is salt, he has not eaten salt for several days, and now his legs are a little shaky when he walks.

Xiao Linzi went into the house to help the old lady cook together, and Lu Rong couldn't sit idle, so he helped chop firewood. One axe at a time, I don't dare to exert myself too hard, for fear that the wound will crack.

Rao was like this, and he also felt that the wound on his left arm seemed to hurt even more.

Lu Rong couldn't do it, licking his face and asking Xiao Linzi if there was any gold sore medicine at home, Xiao Linzi was also happy: "I don't have it at home, I'll buy some for my eldest brother early tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Rong was really a little grateful. Just met such a high-ranking swordsman who was coaxed by a cow, and now compared with Xiao Linzi, a flat-headed common man, Lu Rong sighed again and again that the world is different.

Enlighten his mother's sword, let's understand virtue first.

Lu Rong even gave the saber to Xiao Linzi when he wanted to leave, but he was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he was entangled.

Dinner is simple, but it's affordable, with a large pot of cabbage stew, fresh radish and a pot of white rice. Lu Rong's tongue was almost swallowed.

The old lady seemed to be very afraid of Lu Rong, and since she entered the house, she didn't say a word to Lu Rong, and she didn't eat dinner, but only took some food and went back to the house.

Lu Rong was also very embarrassed, thinking that he would leave tomorrow morning after applying the medicine, and don't bother their family.

At the dinner table, Xiao Linzi brought out a jar of wine like a trick, and he had to drink something with Lu Rong. Lu Rong couldn't excuse himself, he drank two cups less, the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and chatted very happily, it was Xiao Linzi who asked, and Lu Rong answered.

Lu Rong has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and naturally knows a lot, so he was stunned for a while. I almost didn't drink hard and bow to the handle.

Of course, Lu Rong didn't say anything, after all, when he went out, he had to be on guard. And Lu Rong knew that the amount of alcohol was not good, so he didn't dare to drink more. The ground under my feet was a lot wet.

Full of wine and food, Xiao Linzi saw that the momentum was almost over. The probe probed his brain and said, "Brother, I want to join the army with you." ”

Lu Rong was stunned: "Join the army? Where to join the army? ”

"Aren't you long, can you get me in?"

"I ...... What about your mother? Lu Rong couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful.

"My cousin will take care of her, and when I get there, I'm looking for a chance to pick up my mother." Xiao Linzi looked eager to try.

Lu Rong looked at this young face, and somehow, he suddenly remembered the barbarian boy who stood up with Lu Rong on the Lingqiu battlefield and confronted him for a long time.

That barbarian boy must have already retreated to Lingqiu City, right? After this battle, will he be able to brag to his juniors about how he was back then? Will you also be stabbed half through the body by a spear on a certain battlefield one day?

Lu Rong's eyes were a little confused.

Seeing that Lu Rong didn't speak, Xiao Linzi hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, brother, if you want to do it, I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

Lu Rong sorted out his thoughts, smiled bitterly, and said: "When my brother advises you, don't go to be a soldier, it's not a place for people to stay." ”

Xiao Linzi looked incredulous. Tricksters.

Lu Rong stared at Xiao Linzi. This kid's eyebrows are a little light, slightly erect, his eyes are not big, his eyelids are drooping after drinking a little wine, his mouth is a little fluffy, his whole little face is flushed, his face is full of disdain, one foot is slumped on the bench and squatting, and he also reached out and scratched his chin, full of rebellion and stubbornness.

Looking at Xiao Linzi, Lu Rong's eyes were full of the same self that he was not afraid of a few months ago.

Lu Rong stretched out his arm, shook the bloodstained bandage on his arm, lifted his clothes again, pointed to the scar on his waist and said, "Look, it's just a battle." ”

Xiao Linzi muttered angrily: "A man has no scars on his body, what kind of man is he." ”

"It's not a scar, it's life! Which of these places is a little deeper, and your life will be gone! You know a! ”

Lu Rong was a little angry, originally he was as young and vigorous as Xiao Linzi. But after that narrow escape, he now values his life more than anything else.

Xiao Linzi seemed to be drinking high, Huo stood up, the green tendons on his arms came out, his red face seemed to be even redder, and he roared loudly with wide eyes in a strong voice: "This is fate!" Mine is not my life? My life should be like my brother's, I don't know which construction site to die on? ”

"My life deserves to be cut in the neck by the barbarian who requisitioned grain?"

"My life should be like all the people here, I am afraid every day, and my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to marry a good-looking one?"

As if it was too loud, it made a noise to the old man in the room, and the old lady pushed open the door and walked out, looking at her young son with tears in her eyes, and called: "Second child...".

It's just half a day after the moon, and it's still early, but most of the people around are lights out. I don't know if it is the daily fatigue that prompts them to rest early. Or is it because of the darkness of this long night, so that every family is used to blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax to close the door.

Lu Rong was stunned for a moment and speechless.

It felt as if all the blood in my body rushed to my brain. Oozing from the veins, dripping on the face, hot and hot, touching it, it is sweat.

He suddenly understood why the old lady of the Lin family always had some fear in her eyes when she looked at her.

Xiao Linzi still looked panting and angry. Slowly, the little bit of energy on his face disappeared, his eyes became smaller, and he returned to the little guy with a smile on his face, chasing his ass everywhere and asking Lu Rong about his military career.

"I'm sorry brother, I drank some wine." Xiao Linzi smiled shyly, turned around and said to the old lady, "Mother, it's okay, go to sleep." ”

The old lady walked into the house step by step with a worried face.

The autumn wind was cool, and the two of them seemed to be a little sober, and suddenly no one was speechless.

Lu Rong kept his head down, his heart turned over, and he didn't know what to say.

It turned out that there was a huge chasm between the two of them, not identity, nor noble, and no one had discovered it before.

Lu Rong joined the army because he wanted to make a contribution. And Xiao Linzi wants to be a soldier, just because he wants to live.

Anxin County and here, it is said that the distance of the big sky is only 600 miles, and it will be there in six days.

However, there is such a big gap between two teenagers of the same age who were born in the two places.

Lu Rong turned out to be a bit of a fluke. This fluke was deeply despised by himself again.

Lu Rong took a sip of wine and said slowly: "I'm still on the run, I don't know when I can go back, and I don't know if I can go back myself." ”

Xiao Linzi regained his hippie smile again, and said with a smile: "Brother, then you don't care, you just say can you get me in?" ”

In fact, it is not difficult to get Xiao Linzi into the military camp, Lu Rong and Lizi are not natives of Youzhou, and they don't even know who their parents are, so they can still be soldiers.

"That's it," Lu Rong was silent for a long time, and said, "You and your wife are discussing at night, and when I leave tomorrow, if the old lady nods, I will take you away." ”

Xiao Linzi became happy, grabbed Lu Rong's arm, and said, "My mother is definitely willing!" ”

Lu Rong shook his head and said, "You can't say it, I want the old lady to tell me in person that she is willing." ”

Lu Rong has nothing to do, it's not good to refuse, and it's not good to really agree, so he can only look at the old lady.

If the old lady also nodded in agreement, then Lu Rong wouldn't mind taking Xiao Linzi for a trip. After all, he is just a small common man in Datong Mansion now, something really happened, but he was unlucky, and Xiaolinzi should not be a big problem.

Xiao Linzi seemed to have agreed to Lu Rong, he was so happy that he wanted to drink, Lu Rong hurriedly waved his hand, no, no, no, if he drank again, he wouldn't be able to leave tomorrow, so he gave up.

Sleeping at night, Lu Rong slept in Xiaolinzi's house, and Xiaolinzi slept with his mother.

When he was about to go to bed, Xiao Linzi took out a set of his old clothes and asked Lu Rong to change them tomorrow.

"The beating is a spicy set." The strength of the wine came up, and Xiao Linzi's tongue was a little straight.

When he went to bed, Lu Rong was already sleepy, and he could hear the voice of Xiao Linzi in the opposite room in the opposite room, and the old lady seemed to be crying.

Gradually, the shrine became unclear.
