The weather in March was supposed to be spring, but the winter wind was not over, and the cold had not melted. The pedestrians on the road pulled into their clothes, as if the cold wind should not blow in, but unfortunately the clothes were thin, and their hands and feet were always cold. But these days, it's always better, the streets are somewhat lively, the Shangyuan Festival is coming, in previous years, it will be celebrated every year, and this year should be the same.

The flowers and plants in the small courtyard have not yet bloomed, and a few bunches of flowers in the grass have bones, and it will take a month or two to bloom. Looking at the appearance of the bones, it should look good when it opens.

The flowers and leaves were still stained with water droplets, and the sun was shining brightly, and they looked like they had just been watered. In front of the house on the edge of the flower bed, a girl sits under the eaves. He was dressed in a simple cloth robe and held a plain-style sword in his arms.

The girl sat there in a daze, looking at the door and wondering what she was thinking. She was so distracted that a butterfly flew in front of her eyes, and she didn't even notice it.

"Smack." It wasn't until there was a soft sound in the backyard that the girl had some reaction.

Grabbed his sword and got up and walked towards the backyard.

Before she could reach the backyard, she saw a small figure sneaking in through the back door, gently closing the door, and tiptoeing to a door.

The girl looked at the man in the courtyard and grabbed the sword in her hand.

This is not the first time this book thief has been here, and she has been caught several times and dares to come.

There was a bookcase in that room, and not many people knew what books were in it, and usually only two people would come to pick up the books and return them to the bookcase when they had finished reading them.

One is the girl in this courtyard, and the other is Cao Ang, who is half a student of the owner of the bookcase.

There were many books in that box, and there were many different kinds of books. The girls would read some of them, some of them were assigned by her master, and Cao Ang would mostly borrow some military books, and occasionally borrow one or two idle books.

There were a few idle books in the bookbox, like a story about a general in white.

As for the villain who stole books in the courtyard, it was Cao Ang's six-year-old brother Cao Pi.

That day, Cao Ang borrowed an idle book of the white-clothed general, although I don't know why, the story of the white-clothed general did not have an ending, as if it had come to an abrupt end.

But he liked the story of the horse soldier very much, and he always read those books over and over again.

When I finished reading it, it was getting late, and I was ready to send it back tomorrow.

As a result, that day, the book he borrowed called Cao Pi, who was playing in his room, to look at it.

Cao Pi forgot to go to dinner when he saw it, and waited until Cao Ang came back to ask him where the book came from.

Cao Ang, who was annoyed by his younger brother and couldn't live in peace, also said this.

After that, Cao Pi thought about the white-clothed female general almost every day, leading the trapped army to rush to kill in the smoke of the Warring States.

In his opinion, such a woman should be the only one in the world.

But he only read one book, and no longer knew the story behind it, and he was restless every time he thought about it.

Until one day he couldn't bear it anymore, and slipped into the courtyard where the bookbox that the eldest brother said, found the bookbox, and stole a copy out.

But after reading a few pages hungrily, he was caught by a girl with a sword and kicked out on the spot.

From then on, he would steal books from time to time, each time just to be able to read a few pages. Of course, most of the time they are caught before they see it.

In front of the house.

Cao Pi looked around.

No one.

With joy in his heart, he was about to push the door and enter the room.

Something was caught in the back, and his body froze there.

It was a sheathed sword against him, and it was a girl in a cloth robe.

"How many times have I told you, you can't come here to read without the master's consent."

A girl's faint voice came from behind her.

"Stubborn ······" Cao Pi still wanted to say a word back, but the sword behind him was heavier on the ground, making him hold back the words that followed.

"You, you, let go first." Even with the scabbard, the girl's strength kept him from moving.

"I'll let you go." There was no hint of concession in the girl's tone.

This made Cao Pi speechless again, he finally escaped from his mother, how could he be willing if he couldn't see a page?

Gritting his teeth, he asked, "No, if you let me read four pages, how about I tell you a piece of news about your master?" ”

The sword behind his back was loosened.

The person behind him didn't speak for a moment, and only after a while did he ask, "You don't lie to me?" ”

She is not familiar with this place, and there has been no news from the master, except for reading books and practicing swords every day, she will only water the flowers and plants planted by the master, and then sit in a place in a daze.

Sometimes she even wonders if it's because she feels like a drag and the master doesn't want her to follow anymore. Every time she thought about it, she was a little at a loss, but she didn't know what to do.

"I never lie."

Cao Pi said, feeling the sword behind his back being taken back.

Looking back, the girl hesitated.

He walked to the door of the room, opened it, went in and took out a book.

"Is this the one?"

"Yes." Cao Pi's eyes lit up, he took the book, sat on the ground and read it.

The four pages are very fast, but the time for tea is finished.

It happened to be written that he was trapped and returned to Qin.

Cao Pi held the book, he still wanted to look down, but four pages had passed, pinched the page, took a deep breath, closed the book and handed it back.

"Say four pages, just four pages."

"What you just said, my master's news." The girl took the book and asked aloud.

Cao Pi stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his body.

Seeing the girl holding the book, she bowed her head and pouted.

"I heard from my mother that my father has replied to the family, and he will come back before the Yuan Dynasty."

After speaking, he glanced at the girl.

"Your master should be the same."

"When the time comes, I will beg my father to let me be your master's student too, so that you won't be able to stop me from reading."

Before Shangyuan, it will be Shangyuan in a few days.

The girl's fingers unconsciously touched the sword in her hand, and she replied a little distractedly.

"Hmm."

······

Probably three days before Shangyuan, the army returned to the city.

Gu Nan followed Cao Cao and the others back to the mansion, far away, she saw people waiting in front of the mansion, one of them was a little girl, holding a sword in her hand, tiptoeing to look at this side.

She saw Gu Nan, and when Gu Nan walked in and fell off the horse, the girl ran over and hugged Gu Nan's waist with red eyes.

"Huh." Gu Nan smiled and stretched out his hand to put it on her head: "Qi'er, what are you crying for?" ”

"But someone bullied you, saying that you will listen to Uncle Cao, and I will help you teach him a lesson."

Cao Cao asked, while glancing at Cao Ang, who was standing aside.

Cao Ang inexplicably felt a chill behind him, shivered, and laughed: "Father, what do you want me to do?" ”

Cao Pi stood beside Cao Ang and stared blankly at the girl's master, the gentleman in white.

He hadn't met a few times yet.

The man was dressed in a white garment, with armor on the outside and a hat on his head.

He was short, and from his vantage point, he could see her in the right place.

That look is the same as the white-clothed general he thought.
