Chapter 21: Stop the Fighting
Luo Bai was kicked in.
He screamed, and he broke through the door of Loschigo and entered.
Losigo was sitting quietly drinking tea in the room, and he vomited in fright.
Seeing that it was Luo Bai, he scolded: "You kid want to scare me to death?" Come in, come in, and break grandpa's door, what a bastard! β
Luo Bai got up from the ground, rubbed his chest, and felt that the wound was a little painful, and he didn't know if the wound had cracked.
Hearing Luo Xige's words at this moment, he didn't care about the injury on his chest, licked his face and smiled: "Grandpa the village chief, I came to see you." β
Losigo didn't say anything, got up and walked back.
Luo Bai was stunned for a moment and hurried to follow.
Behind is the kitchen, and there are two things on the board: a bowl and a wooden basin.
The bowl is filled with water, and the noodles are soaked in the water.
Inside the wooden basin next to them, there is a pot of white powder.
Lossigo walked over to the board and poured the water and pieces of dough into the basin.
"These flour is wheat flour, the people of my Xia Dynasty have always eaten corn, and the diet in the army is even more monotonous, and it is porridge all day and night. Occasionally, there are vegetables and meat, and that is the Chinese New Year. β
These Luo Bai all knew that although they had not been in the army for a long time, they had stayed for a few days.
"Before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, they are talking about the diet of the soldiers and horses. The southern warriors preferred to eat rice, while the northern warriors mainly ate corn. As for Mobei Road and Xiyu Road, it is mainly meat-based. The dietary customs of soldiers in different regions are different, which is also something to consider for generals. After all, if you don't eat well, it will also affect the combat effectiveness of the team. β
Luo Bai suddenly realized, no wonder every time he ate, the barbarian just picked up two bites and withdrew.
Maybe he, who is used to eating meat, is really not used to corn porridge in the army.
"An adequate supply of food and grass is the foundation for the continuation of the war. If you plan to fight a year's war, you have to prepare three years' worth of food. The war costs a lot of money, so much that you can't imagine, and it is a great test of the country's revenue. Therefore, Lord Tobe Shangshu is obviously only forty years old, but he already has gray hair on his temples. β
Lossigo was talking about preparations for war, but Luo Bai thought off-topic: If war is so costly and costly, why should there be a war?
He has never participated in the war, but Sheng Shige said that the current 10,000 people in the champion camp are all descendants of the soldiers who were besieged in the Quartet.
If there had been no war, there would have been no such separation. Isn't it okay for everyone to live with Meimei and enjoy the joy of family?
But he didn't ask, after all, he didn't want to be scolded or even beaten yet.
Luo Xigo was still meeting, so he naturally didn't know what Luo Bai was thinking now.
"But there is some money that has to be spent. If Emperor Taizu did not unify the six countries, the Central Plains would still be in the Warring States Period, and there would be wars for many years. But now? Although the anti-thieves in the south are strong, the south of the Great Wall and the north of the Yellow River are at least stable and peaceful. This was the result of Emperor Taizu's war that year. β
Hearing this, Luo Bai finally spoke: "Do you mean to say that starting a war now is just to not start a war in the future?" β
Luo Xigo stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at this still slightly immature face, and showed a doting look: "Boy, our generation was born and grew up in the war, and we know the suffering of the people in the war, so we naturally don't want our descendants to experience this again. β
Luo Bai immediately asked: "Then why do you still want to fight?" What can't you sit down and talk about? β
Lo Xigo stopped, as if he felt that Luo Bai was innocent in what he said.
"If you kill one person, you can stop the war, and I will not hesitate to die! If you kill ten people to stop the war, I should kill ten people and settle all beings! If you kill a hundred people to stop the war, I should decide the world with blood! If you kill a thousand people to stop the war, I want my soul to fall and kill a thousand! If killing 10,000 people can stop the war, then I will kill 10,000 people to save the people! β
Luo Bai's question was asked subconsciously, and he didn't expect Luo Xige to answer. But when these shocking words came out of the mouth of this gray-haired old man, Luo Bai was speechless in shock.
"If the world is peaceful, even if millions are slaughtered, even if you can't live forever, I'm willing!"
Luo Bai didn't know what to say anymore.
This kind of extreme rhetoric is more like the words of a general who is iron-blooded to the extreme.
Looking at Luo Xigo with a cold expression, Luo Bai suddenly felt cold hands and feet.
"If you destroy me alone, you can settle the world, then I have no regrets."
Luo Xigo summed up with such deep and sad words, and Luo Bai was a little sad.
He thought of the question that the gentleman who taught him the art of war every night asked them on the first day: Why fight?
Perhaps, Lozego's current words can just answer this question.
War, is it really to stop war?
"Boy, one day you understand the meaning of this sentence, maybe it's time for you to shoulder the responsibility. But now, look at my movements, not a single step is missing! β
Luo Bai nodded in agreement, looked down at the basin, and found that as Luo Xige continued to mix the noodles, add water, and mix the noodles again, the flour in the basin had become a lump.
But he's still rubbing.
"In short-distance wars, the supply lines are shorter, and it is easier to transport grain and grass. But what about long-distance travel? β
"There are some things that I shouldn't tell you, so you just need to know one thing: although there are wars in all parts of the country now, and even the war in Jiangnan Province has reached the point of burning eyebrows, but in the eyes of our Luo family, it is never these things that are really worried. The war that belongs to our Luo family is only in Mobei, only in the Western Regions! β
After the face was over, Luo Bai looked at Luo Xige in a daze, not knowing what it meant to be "the war that belongs to our Luo family, only in Mobei, only in the Western Regions".
He didn't understand why he was included in "us."
Although his surname is Luo, what does it have to do with Luo's Luo and Luo's Luo's Luo?
In the Camp of Champions, many people were amazed by his last name. But what does this surname represent?
"Grandpa the village chief, why are you letting me see you and face?"
Lossigo glanced at him, but did not speak.
Luo Bai shrugged and kept silent.
The two went out, and Losigo washed his hands before going outside.
Outside, Feng Linghai and Han Wuxin were still standing, and Lian Qingfeng was gone.
Lossigo looked at them and snorted coldly, "Who kicked my door to break?" β
Feng Linghai looked at Han Wuxin without righteousness, and Han Wuxin smiled bitterly: "As for betraying me, did you sell me so completely?" β
Luo Xigo said: "Fix it before dinner, otherwise you will fuck me off!" β
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Seeing him walk away, Feng Linghai immediately stepped forward and looked at Luo Bai with a look of hope: "How is it?" Learned? β
Luo Bai looked at Feng Linghai with a confused expression: "What did you learn?" β
Feng Linghai was stunned: "Then what are you doing inside?" Don't tell me you're chatting? β
Luo Bai shook his head and said, "That's not true." The village chief just mixed the noodles with water, and then they made a ball, and then we came out. β
Feng Linghai didn't seem to quite understand what the word "and noodles" meant, but he still tried to understand the word: "And then?" He didn't teach you how to make that cake? β
"Cakes?"
Looking at Luo Bai's puzzled look, Feng Linghai already had an answer.
Han Wuxin patted him and said, "Don't worry too much. Since the general called this kid in, he didn't intend to hide it from him. Maybe the procedure for making that pie is complicated and takes time. The previous 'noodles' are only one part of the equation, and it is not yet known. β
Feng Linghai sighed: "That's the only way." β
He turned back to the crowd and said, "Go, get the tools, and fix the door." β
By noon, the door was repaired. The main reason is that there are no materials and tools, and in the end, I went to Han Wuxin's house to find the materials and tools to repair the door.
It was at this time that Luo Bai met Ah Luo, who dreamed of Chaosi.
Ah Luo was a little emaciated, and her ruddy face was already a little white, as if she was malnourished.
Her hair was a little disheveled, and she didn't even wear a wooden hairpin, not as elaborate as he had been.
And her hands, in just fourteen days, her hands are no longer as supple as before, and they are beginning to have dry skin.
Fortunately, the clothes are still clean, otherwise Luo Bai wouldn't dare to admit it.
When he went home and stood in front of the door, he saw Ah Luo sitting in the courtyard picking vegetables, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and finally called: "Ah Luo......"
Ah Luo trembled, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped at all, and they gushed out.
The green vegetables in her hand fell to the ground, and then slowly raised her head, but immediately lowered it.
Then he quickly turned around and stood up and rushed into the house.
There was a "bang", and the door was shut.
Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by the broken water on the side.
Broken Water Yun pointed to the closed door and teased, "Are you sure this is your fiancΓ©e?" Recognize the wrong person, right? β
Luo Bai snorted coldly: "Your family will admit your mistake?" β
Broken Water Yun shrugged and didn't speak.
Luo Bai didn't know what was going on with Ah Luo, obviously she hadn't seen her for a few days, she should miss it even more, but why did she run?
"Okay, don't think about it, don't you just ask?"
Luo Bai walked over and wanted to open the door, only to find that Ah Luo had put on the door bolt and he couldn't get in.
He banged on the door and shouted, "Aluo! Arlo! β
There was no one in there.
Duan Shuiyun also sensed that something was wrong, thought about it, and prepared to leave.
"Xiaobai, why don't I go and see Lord Feng first, and come back later."
Luo Bai really didn't have the mood to care about him, so he nodded indiscriminately and said, "Okay, I'll look for you later." β
Duan Shuiyun left, standing outside the courtyard, looking at Luo Bai, who was still banging on the door and shouting at the door, a little unclear about what was going on.
He was about to leave, but he bumped into Lian Qingfeng head-on, and he hurriedly saluted.
Lian Qingfeng nodded, and then asked, "What is that kid doing?" β
He told the story again, and finally said: "I think eighty percent is so angry that he won't even open the door." β
Before the words fell, the door opened, looking at the woman who walked out of it, Shui Yun was speechless for a while: Do you want to be so faceless?
In the distance, Ah Luo walked out with a smile on her face, wearing the white jacket that she would only wear on holidays.
Her hair was combed back and she wore a solid gold walker.
I even got a new pair of embroidered shoes.
From Arlo to the moment he came out, there was also a quarter of an hour.
But in such a short period of time, she actually retouched herself.
Looking at Ah Luo's low eyebrows and leaning against the door from afar, watching her keep rubbing her hands, and looking at the infinite shyness on her red face, Lian Qingfeng not only sighed: "Since the monarch returns, the head is like a flying peng." If there is no anointing, who is suitable for it? β
Shui Yun listened to Lian Qingfeng's inexplicable words, and was about to ask what it meant, but was pulled away by Lian Qingfeng: "What are you still standing here for?" Be careful, I tell Feng Linghai and let him punish you for running back. β
Shui Yun turned his head and ran.
Luo Bai never knew that Ah Luo was so beautiful.
After eight years of getting along day and night, he thought he had seen Aluo's most beautiful and ugly appearance.
But at this moment, looking at Ah Luo bathing in the morning sun, his heart was touched.
He didn't speak, smoothing out a strand of loose hair on Aro's forehead, then stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms.
"Arlo, believe me, this is ...... forever"
