Chapter 696: It's Not What It Used To Be

Looking at the battle reports that Gao Jun passed from the west from time to time, Guo Xiaoke sometimes laughed to himself, and it seemed that some people's psychological tolerance had also become stronger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info said that it is not appropriate to move troops at the same time on both sides, but Gao Jun moved at the same time this time, and the battle situation is very optimistic, maybe Su Fa must have regretted it.

The injuries of the eldest son, Hou Zhao, have been getting better day by day since Gao Jun sent back the parts on Kipchak Wang's body, and Mrs. Zhao waited undressed, and now he was able to get out of bed and walk around. Guo Xiaoke came to visit again in the evening, but saw that the young couple was talking about the war in the west.

Liu Shi was treating the edict and said, "I feel that your body is much better, and it scared me at that time!" Crying and crying, thinking about it now, it means a little bit to force Gao Jun to avenge you, now that you are in good health, let him find a suitable time to withdraw from the army, the weather is so hot now......"

Guo Xiaoke happened to come in and said, "This is not just a retreat, I think he at least fell in love with Kangli City, otherwise, as long as he retreats now, the Danhe River will still be Qiuzi to the west...... It's also difficult to ride a tiger! ”

Waiting for the edict said anxiously, "Alas! It's just that I can't fight alongside him at this time! ”

His wife comforted, "You don't know, the second brother is there." Guo Zhizhao felt a little better.

……

Sanyang Town.

The plums that Mrs. Cui bought back were sweet and sour, and Liu Yuru and Cui Yan ate them very deliciously, and others also ate some, and they all said that they would buy them next time.

Two days later, when people got up in the morning and opened the courtyard gate, they saw two bamboo baskets outside the door, full of plums. Mrs. Cui said, "This must have been sent by the eldest brother who sold the fruit last time, and it turned out to be a sincere person." ”

She told the women about the last time she bought fruit, and they said that this man was silent, but he was sure of things. Ordinary people don't come early when they get cheap, who will send fruit again, and set up two baskets!

These two baskets of plums were sent by Li Mi, and in the middle of the night, he carried the burden and walked while crying, and arrived home at dawn. Danfeng Town is the place where Cui Ying lived before leaving the pavilion, and there is also an unforgettable past for Li Mi.

At that time, they were all young, thinking that there was a lot of time, and some had the capital to pursue what they liked. He took the burden and took out the key to open the door in the hazy morning light, but the keyhole could not be inserted, he thought he was too old to find it!

But what else did he have now than a mule, a wooden cart, and a burden! How far away does what was once a high position now seem, and all experiences feel like someone else's.

Who would have thought that he, the man who lived in the two most inconspicuous huts, had once galloped in places they had never been to. But now, only the snatched mule looked at Li Mi with big flashing eyes, the forage that Li Mi had given it when he left it in the morning had long been gone, it needed Li Mi, and it didn't care about the smell of sweat emanating from his body.

He waited for the mules, and lay down in the house with hunger, not wanting to get food. What if he didn't leave and lived here all the time when he and Liu Boyu came here? It's a hypothesis, but it seems better than the current situation, right?

Let Liu Boyu continue to fight and make meritorious contributions, and he will only be a villager in Danfeng Town, planting two acres of land, just like today, carrying a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and sending them to her openly.

He can go in and out of the town every day and can see Cui Ying. Then, Liu Boyu died on the battlefield...... He must die, which is ideal...... But it has nothing to do with herself, Cui Ying will not hate herself......

So, is there still a chance for a high-level trial?

He was immersed in his fantasies, and when he felt hungry, he jumped up and went to his burden to grab a few fruits to satisfy his hunger. When he saw that burden, he woke up from his dream.

Li Mi knew that Cui Ying would definitely leave Danfeng Town, because the high trial was in Qianzhou. She was only stranded here because two women in Gao Jun's family were pregnant, and he learned from the village women that one of them was Cui Yan, and they didn't want to travel long distances back to Xizhou in this situation.

Then, the time he was able to see Cui Ying in Danfeng Town was just a few months, and then she was happy with her grandchildren, happily accepted the congratulations of the villagers, and then left here.

And then what about yourself? What to do, where is his foothold?

Li Mi lay in the house for a long time, and then pushed a wooden cart to Nanyang to sell plums, and returned home in the evening of the next day. He carefully selected the most well-proportioned and ripe of the fruits, borrowed two bamboo baskets from the landlord, and waited for dark.

As soon as the sun set, Li Mi carried two baskets of plums and rode a mule to Shanyang Town, and the piece of broken silver Cui Ying gave him was enough for them to eat a season of plums.

He deliberately rubbed on the road, and if he arrived too early, there were people on the street, and there were officials from the Dangyang County Government patrolling the streets. If they had arrived later, the two officials would not have poked there like fools.

He tied the mule to the woods outside Shanyang Town, carried two baskets of fruit, and wiped the dark shadow of the street into the town, but there was no one on the street, and every household turned off the lights and rested. The courtyard where Cui Ying lived was also pitch black.

Li Mi stood outside the courtyard gate, imagining that the woman who had haunted him for most of his life was sleeping soundly at the moment, and a warm current flowed on Li Mi's body. He put down the two baskets of plums and sat down against Cui Ying's courtyard door. When he was suddenly woken up by the dog barking at Shanyang Restaurant, he found that it had been too long.

The officials who patrolled the streets in the morning were also about to arrive, and Li Mi hurried out of the town and rode home on a mule.

When I arrived in Danfeng Town, it was already dawn, and the landlord was an old man in his fifties, who lived next door to Li Mi, and was opening the courtyard door and sweeping the street with a broom. No matter how he thinks Li Mi came back early in the morning, he was a little sneaky, and he refused to even say hello.

After a while, the landlord's woman ran over and asked for her basket, Li Mi was stunned for a moment, and remembered that the basket was placed in Shanyang Town. The woman muttered dissatisfiedly, saying that it was her dowry, and that it had been decades.

But how can the basket come back immediately? Li Mi couldn't think of any good way. He apologized vigorously, and couldn't think of any good way until the woman left.

Maybe when he goes to Shanyang Town to sell fruits in a few days, Cui Ying will definitely come out to return the two baskets, and he can also take the opportunity to take another look at her from under the big brim hat and listen to her voice. But it is not feasible to go today, and those two baskets of plums are enough for them to eat for a few days.

After a while, the landlord swept the street in front of his house, walked over and said to Li Mi in a straight voice, "Those two bamboo baskets are not worth much, but they are old...... When she returned to her parents' house when she was young, we used two bamboo baskets to carry two children! ”

Li Mi apologized again and said that he would return it in a few days. The landlord went back very dissatisfied. Then Li Mi listened to the quarrel next door, and then the landlord shouted through the courtyard wall, "Come here!" ”

Li Mi heard that he was calling himself, so he went over. When he learned that the landlord meant to make him lose the basket money immediately, Li Mi took out a small bag in his arms.

The elderly woman saw him open the bag, and her hand was just able to reach into the bag and find three or five coins, all of which were copper coins. Her afterglow paid attention to Li Mi's feet, Li Mi asked her how much to keep, and she forgot to speak.

Because when Li Mi took out the bag, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms.
