Chapter 226: Arriving Home
Xiao Yu'er sat on the dirt slope, holding her cheeks with both hands, staring at the official road to the south in a daze. She's been waiting here for three months, coming every day after school, and of course she's waiting for his brother.
When my brother left, the grass on the ground was still green and tender, but now the grass has begun to turn yellow and hard, but my brother has not returned.
Grandpa had been to the palace a long time ago, and the princess told her grandfather that her brother was doing business in Pingjiang, but Mrs. Chang told her sister that Pingjiang was at war. When Grandpa heard the news, he didn't fall asleep that night, and went to the ancestral hall every day to burn incense, and Grandpa, who had never had leftovers, had leftovers.
Xiao Yu'er had never seen a war, but she knew that a lot of people would die in a war, and she dreamed several times that her brother was killed by others, which scared her to wake up from her dream in a cold sweat.
Brother Xiao Turtle said that the Pingjiang River is in the south, and the end of the official road is very far away. If my brother comes back, he will definitely come from the south side of the official road, so as long as it doesn't rain, Xiaoyu'er will definitely stay here after school.
Water chestnut also waited with her at first, but then stopped coming. Water chestnut said that his brother would come back by boat, and Xiao Yuer believed in Xiao Jiao'er's words more, and water chestnut must be making excuses for being lazy.
A little black lamb bleated twice and snuggled up to the little fish. The little fish touched its curly fluff and giggled, "Are you full?" ”
The lamb is born to the milking ewe at home, only more than a month, has run very fast, without the water chestnut to accompany her, there is a lamb in her does not feel lonely.
When my brother is not at home, no one drinks goat's milk, no one can stand the fishy smell, even if the sugar is put in, no one drinks it. However, the milk that was milked every day was not wasted, and it was all given to Zhang Wuliu's son.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chunsheng gave birth to a boy, five catties and six taels.
Grandma Zhang was very happy, she said: "Zhang Wuliu was also five catties and six taels when he was born, so he was named Zhang Wuliu. ”
It's a pity that this name can't be used anymore, otherwise it will be the same name as his father, as for what to call it, it will be decided when Zhang Wuliu and Lao Liu come back.
When Xiao Yu'er followed her sister over to deliver something, she glanced at the child in the swaddling clothes, ugly, although she hadn't even opened her eyes yet, but she felt like Zhang Wuliu.
Not only does it look like it looks like it, but it also looks like an appetite, and Chunhua's milk is not much, and it is not enough for the little guy to eat, and she is so hungry that she screams every night. There was no way to feed him with goat's milk, but it was rare that he didn't dislike the fishy smell of goat's milk, and drank it with relish.
The little fish grabbed a handful of grass from the ground and put it to the little black sheep's mouth, but it only snorted slightly, and then put its head aside, and it was really full.
Xiao Yu'er looked at the sun slanting in the west, and then looked at the empty official road, she knew that she had waited in vain today. She held the lamb in her arms and was about to go home, but she saw a black shadow that seemed to jump out of thin air on the other side of the official road, moving very fast, and the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard.
She subconsciously stopped, tiptoeing to look, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and sure enough, it was a group of soldiers in armor riding horses. Oh, it's really majestic!
When the cavalry passed in front of his eyes, she saw a familiar figure, it was Zhang Wuliu! It's Zhang Wuliu! Oh my God, my brother is back!
Xiao Yu'er seemed to see her brother riding a high-headed horse, majesticly appeared in front of her eyes, she wanted to sit in her brother's arms and suddenly appeared in front of the water chestnut, angry with her!
She put down the lamb, stumbled down the dirt slope, and rushed to the official road without stopping, only to see a tall horse rushing towards her.
"Ahh Xiao Yu'er screamed and covered her eyes, and suddenly felt a tightening of her neck, as if flying.
"Whose little girl is this, dare to rush into the horse team, don't die!"
Xiao Yu'er felt as if she had survived, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a big man blowing his beard at her and glaring, and she was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes again.
"Duke Chu Guo! That's the housemate, put her down! ”
It's my brother!
Hearing Ma Du's voice behind her, Xiao Yu'er hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw two people in the distance behind this group of cavalry, one of them was Lao Liu, and the other was her brother who had been thinking about her for a long time.
The elder brother really rode back on a horse, but why is the elder brother's horse short and small, and the ears are also very long, and the old Liu Ma is not as majestic, and there is still white foam in his mouth and seems to be about to die.
Liao Yongan turned the dock and rode to Ma Du with a small fish under his armpit, "This is your sister?" Do you still have a sister? Aren't you the princess's brother? ”
"You don't have to ask, give me back my sister!"
"Okay, give it back to you! You saved my life in Pingjiang, and now I saved your sister's life, even if this favor is repaid. So saying, he put the little fish on the donkey's back.
This guy's favor has to be relaxed, but Ma Du doesn't care, in his eyes, a hundred Liao Yongan can't match Xiaoyu'er.
But as soon as Liao Yongan let go, Ma Du's mount suddenly knelt on the ground and did not move.
Liao Yongan gloated when he saw this, laughed, and whipped the horse away.
This old bastard, if he hadn't had to ride back, Madu would have been so ugly.
Horseback riding is not so easy to learn, and if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself, thanks to Lao Liu got him a healthy donkey, but the healthy donkey became a waste donkey all the way down.
"Brother, Xiao Yu'er misses you so much...... You're dead, Xiaoyu'er is so scared and sad...... The goat milk at home was given to Xiao Zhang for five or six years...... The lamb is mine, and every day it doesn't eat grass until it comes home...... We rode the horses and died of water chestnuts......"
Seeing the incoherent language again, although Xiao Yu'er didn't speak very clearly, her body language was very clear, and her little arms hugged Ma Du's waist tightly.
Ma Du stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Xiao Yu'er's face, "Brother also think about Xiao Yu'er, let's go home and have something to say, and talk slowly!" ”
Lao Liu got off the horse, "Third Miss, do you want to sit on the old man's horse." ”
Xiaoyu was overjoyed, "Brother, let's sit on a horse." Seeing Ma Du walking with his legs skimming, "Brother, what's wrong with your legs?" ”
"It's okay, I've been sitting for too long!" Of course, Madu can't say that he was hurt by the egg.
"Master also get on the horse, this donkey will be dealt with later, and I can't lose it at the door of the house!"
At that moment, the two got on the horse and let Lao Liu lead them slowly to the house, and before they reached the door, the old loach had already led people to greet them. The old loach wiped his tears and said, "It's back, it's good to come back safely!" ”
Ma Du hurriedly dismounted and comforted, "Grandpa and grandson are back, why are you crying because of the joy of the matter." He hugged everyone in the family one by one, and everyone stopped crying.
I haven't seen the water chestnut grow taller for half a year, and the big fish has become more beautiful like a big girl, but the little turtle suddenly stuttered badly, and the big brother shouted the word for a long time, and eighty percent was excited.
Ma Du was surrounded by everyone and walked home, and when he got off the official road, he saw Zhang Wuliu standing at the door of his house with swaddling clothes in his arms, "Master, I have given birth to a son!" ”
"Is it a son? Let me see! ”
"Hey...... It is said that it is like a mile with me! I can only open a crack for you, and the child is too young to see the wind! "In the end, being a father is really much more reliable, and the birth of a child can make young parents mature all of a sudden.
Zhang Wuliu carefully opened the swaddling clothes, but Ma Du leaned over but only saw two little feet......
