Chapter 353: A Warm Moment
Seeing that Guo Tianxing set off in batches with the cavalry team and firearms battalion, until the men and horses were gone, Lu Shicai reluctantly went down the wall.
It's all arranged, when the war doesn't start, there is a kind of anxiety in my heart, once the war starts, but I don't have my own business, I have become a bystander, and a feeling of loss slowly lingers and fills my heart.
Slowly walked to his temporary courtyard with his head down, there was an inexplicable feeling of emptiness along the way, as if he had lost something, a thought suddenly rushed into his heart, he had been to the Black Tiger Village for three days, there seemed to be very little clean behind him, subconsciously looked back, but saw that San'er was still shouting behind him, and a few proud students followed inseparably, just waiting for their own words or an idea, so that they had a new vision and a sudden realization. But among these people, Wang Xiao is missing, yes, there is a lack of Wang Xiao, he smiled selfishly, seeing that he was very sensitive, and he felt that he was missing a student, but in addition to Wang Xiao, it seems that there is still a lack of someone, who is it? Can't remember.
Lu Shi felt flustered for no reason, and wanted to think of something else to relieve this mood first, but he couldn't do it anyway, and that faint but lingering sense of loss was haunting his heart.
Suddenly, Wang Xiao's voice came from afar; "Teacher, it's not good, there's a tiger coming to the cottage, teacher, let's go and take a look." The person arrived casually, regardless of the teacher's surprised expression, pulled up a few stunned classmates and ran.
Lu Shi looked at Zhao Xing, who was still following him, and Zhao Xing immediately gave up; "King Chuang should fight the tiger, I don't have something to do." Then he also ran away.
Lu Shi stood on the ground in confusion, why did the cottage come to the tiger and everyone wanted me, the king of Chuang? Suddenly, he remembered the song that the little monk had taught the children to sing about going down the mountain, and suddenly jumped three feet high, screamed strangely, turned into a gust of wind, and went straight to the gate of the village.
On the side of the road outside the cottage gate, a fiery red figure was bored with a horsewhip whipping the artemisia grass on the side of the road, the red war horse was quietly looking for weeds on the side to eat, constantly brushing off his master with the horse's tail, and there were two white-clothed women's army heralds in the distance who were talking quietly.
The gate of the wall is open, but I just don't understand why my captain came in a hurry, but he didn't enter when he got to the ground, and now this dilemma is not embarrassing, I didn't see a lot of soldiers on the wall, although the soldiers who didn't squint were secretly looking at themselves? Shame is not ashamed.
Lu Shi saw the red figure, the original empty heart was suddenly filled, a slight pause, and walked quickly towards the red figure, the figure who lowered his head and whipped the weeds, as if he also felt that he was looking forward to the arrival of people, raised his head, cheered, and ran towards the white-clothed figure, but after running a few steps, he hesitated, and after a slight pause, he turned around and walked towards his war horse, but the step was obviously slow, and the slowness made the soldiers on the wall whistle.
Lu Shi's old face hurt, turned around and glared at the soldiers on the wall, although it was far away, but it seemed that everyone felt the shame of King Chuang, and they all straightened their faces and straightened their chests, Lu Shi just turned around and stretched out his hand to greet Chunlan, and suddenly shouted neatly on the cottage; "Come on, come on." The sound was so neat and strong that it almost scared Lu Shi and Chunlan to fall at that time.
Chunlan couldn't take any more steps, so Lu Shi turned around and thanked the brothers on the wall, and everyone screamed and coaxed together.
On the cottage, Lu Shi is a god-like existence, but his peace is so warm, except for formal occasions, everyone prefers to regard him as their dearest little brother or their own nephew, good-natured jokes will appear anywhere, but this is not equal to contempt for Lu Shi, but a kind of closeness and touching.
Lu Shi didn't care about the people who were coaxing on the cottage, and hurried a few steps to Chunlan, two steps apart, to Chunlan, who buried her face like a red apple in front of her chest, and sighed for a long time, only holding back a word of nonsense; "You're here."
Chunlan nodded, and then replied with a nonsense in a low voice; "I'm coming."
Then the two of them didn't talk again.
Originally, when the two of them were together, they had a lot of nonsense except for business, but they didn't know what to say two days apart. Standing silently under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes up and down the cottage, letting the warm morning sun of early spring slowly climb out of the mountain, from their heads to their shoulders, waists, to the thick land under their feet. No one cried for joy any more, as if the wind had become gentle for them.
I don't know how long I stood like this, there were more and more people on the wall, and they all held their breath and enjoyed their happiness, until the two girls who came with Chunlan couldn't help it, and carefully approached Li Lanhua and snickered; "Captain, didn't you have a lot to say to King Chuang when you came? Why don't you say it? ”
These two girls are Chunlan's heralds, and they are the result of the third aunt's deliberate selection.
In ancient times, women from wealthy families married with personal maids accompanied by their in-laws, and it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. In order to compete for favor or for solid pets, this personal maid is the woman's first intimacy and arm help, so these two girls are conventionally to marry a man with the hostess, and King Chuang must also be Chunlan's, Lu Shi is the perfect combination of heroes and gods in the hearts of the entire cottage girl, and that is the theme of every girl's dream.
But who dares to compete with Chunlan, so being a herald for Chunlan, that is, the future maid of the house, is the only choice. The girls in the entire cottage and the old camp are fighting openly and secretly for this place, and finally under the control of the third uncle and three aunts, these two smart, beautiful, capable and loyal girls are selected.
The third aunt once deliberately asked Lu Shi when she was tidying up Lu Shi's room; "My son, you should name the two maids, no, the two heralds."
"Mother, don't they have names? What else do we have to worry about? Lu Shi was busy with the document in his hand, and at the same time, he kept avoiding the busy figure of his godmother beside him.
The third aunt likes the feeling of Lu Shi calling her mother, kind and natural, and there is no such thing as someone else's godson calling her mother from the bones or being unfamiliar.
"You know what." The godmother said angrily: "The maids of the big family want the master to give a name, what is the name of Chunlai Qiuju or something, where do you still use the original name?" As he spoke, he pushed away Lu Shi, who was sweeping the floor in his way.
Lu Shi moved his body away, but his hand still did not stop; "Mother, first, those two girls are soldiers of the Women's Army, not my maids, and second, at least I won't be their master, and I won't be anyone's master, so ah, they can be called whatever they like, and I respect them."
The third aunt is speechless, her son is this good, peaceful, and gets along with everyone in her heart, which makes people feel supported. It hasn't been mentioned since.
Chunlan saw her sister reminding her to say something, but she really didn't know where to start for a while, and said coldly; "You see, I'm wearing well-fitting boots today."
Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed suddenly, Lu Shi smiled Chunlan also relaxed, raised her head and smiled brightly, this smile in Lu Shi's eyes was like a Qinggu orchid blooming throughout the winter.
The problem with the boots made the two girls who followed him unconscious. It turns out that there is another allusion to this.
In this era, women began to be popular for foot binding, women's feet are as small as possible, girls began to bind their feet at a few years of age, under the pressure of their parents, that is definitely a kind of destruction for girls, but most of the girls in the countryside are still not bound feet, because in poor families, girls have to work in the fields with their parents and brothers.
Chunlan didn't bind her feet, but since the third aunt recognized Lu Shi as her godson, she put all her thoughts on this son and her future daughter-in-law, and asked Chunlan to get up, first of all, she thought that Chunlan's feet were dissatisfied, but Chunlan was already a big girl, and she couldn't bind her feet, so she said all day long that men like small feet.
So one day, at the instigation of the third aunt, I put on boots that were two sizes smaller, hoping that my feet would look more delicate. deliberately walked around in front of Lu Shi, and the third aunt kept giving comments on the side, I was afraid that Lu Shi would not be able to see it, and the rough lines of the sky star couldn't figure it out for some reason, why did the third aunt always talk to the military advisor about the pattern of Chunlan's girls' boots, does this have anything to do with men?
Lu Shi couldn't twist the godmother's constant reminders and nagging, so he looked at Chunlan's boots very carefully, but he really didn't see anything, but when he looked at Chunlan's face, he found that she was inhaling painfully, and when he saw Lu Shi looking at himself, he immediately pretended to be very happy and smiled, but that smile was more uncomfortable than eating bitter melon. Lu Shi asked inexplicably; "Sister Chunlan, are your feet uncomfortable?"
Chunlan saw that the fourth brother asked, and immediately said very comfortably; "No, no." But when he saw the fourth brother's serious appearance, he didn't dare to lie; "Do you want to wear boots that are two sizes smaller?" The aggrieved are about to cry.
The godmother immediately took over the conversation and said; "Big families are all small foot binding, and the orchid can't be wrapped when it's too big, so that's the only way."
Lu Shi was stunned, suddenly pushed Chunlan to sit on a chair, grabbed her feet and pulled down the two boots and threw them outside the door; "All people are born equal and free, and we must not wronged ourselves in order to please others."
As soon as Chunlan's feet were freed from the shackles of the little boots, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. also moved the ten delicate little toes of the two heavenly feet back and forth, so that Guo Tianxing crooked on the door frame and couldn't help but agree; "My sister's little feet are so beautiful." This statement immediately woke up Chunlan, who was still enjoying freedom, and fiddled with her feet in front of the man she liked, which was too embarrassing. With a strange scream, he ran back to the third uncle's house barefoot.
From then on, the girls in the entire old camp were resolute not to bind their feet, and once their parents strongly requested it, they would take out Lu Shi; "People don't like small feet."
Just this sentence made the adults in the family dare not bind the woman's feet anymore, because in everyone's hearts, King Chuang's words must be right, although they can't say where they are right.
Lu Shi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the big free feet; "Look, it's better to be free, so that you can work in the field like a man and go into battle to kill the enemy."
The other girl cautiously walked up to Chunlan and whispered shyly; "Captain, King Chuang, can we talk elsewhere? In front of tens of thousands of people in the cottage, isn't it bad? "Saying this, I can't help but sneak a glance at the Prince Charming in my heart. I'm afraid he's not happy with his advice.
Chunlan has regained her sassy and heroic appearance. The small chest straightened and said loudly; "What are you afraid of, our sisters haven't done anything unsightly."
In fact, Lu Shi and Chunlan are like this, at this time, they are already deviant and boundless, but the nearly 10,000 eyes on the walled wall seem to be so free and uninhibited.
So, under the gaze of thousands of people up and down the mountain, Lu Shi and Li Lanhua walked towards the gate of the cottage while chatting side by side. Everyone looked at this and this with envy, and looked at this blessing.
It's not very good at writing this kind of gentle thing, and it takes two days to write a sheet, but it must be written, which is a relaxation and a kind of transitional foreshadowing.
