Chapter 91: Bereavement
"Get out of your-" As soon as Xie Sanfeng opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, so he only glared at the man fiercely.
The soldier was not annoyed, and grinned: "General Bai, General Guo and General Qiu have gone to patrol the city wall, General Bai said, let Captain Xie wait here after he returns." ”
Xie Sanfeng nodded, dismounted exhausted, ready to find a place to rest for a while.
Kindness?
General Qiu? Who is it?
While wondering, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, casually took the water bladder handed by one of his soldiers, drank it to the sky, and then wiped his chin and gasped for breath.
Fortunately, I am not wearing armor today, otherwise I will not be able to peel off my skin at the end of this day!
He lifted the hem of his shirt and fanned the wind, feeling that it was not enjoyable, so he simply took off his shoes and socks, revealing a pair of white-covered feet.
"Whew-"
Breathing a sigh of relief, Xie Sanfeng suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
It seems that it is General Bai and they are back!
Xie Sanfeng hurriedly put on his shoes and socks and sorted out his clothes, and was about to step forward, when he was immediately stunned - he recognized the people on horseback, but one of them should not have appeared here at all.
That person's armor is bright and heroic, even if the face is too far away to see clearly, the silhouette of that figure is still very familiar!
General Qiu?
Qiu Qi?
The appearance of Xie Sanfeng's stammering eyes clearly fell in the eyes of Bai Muye and Qiu Ning, and they smiled and jumped off the horse.
Bai Muye deliberately straightened his face, and roared majestically after breaking the three seals: "Report!" ”
Xie Sanfeng glanced at Qiu Ning, who had a cold expression, rubbed his hands, and stammered: "Yu, General Yu, I harvested one thousand and thirty-three large and small bronze mirrors in the people's homes, five hundred and eleven copper bells of all kinds, twenty-six bundles of ropes, and thirty-eight shafts of silk thread!" ”
His voice was unprecedentedly rough and ugly, Bai Muye was a little reluctant, and asked knowingly out of concern for him: "Third Brother Xie, why is your voice hoarse?" ”
"Every time you enter a house, you have to repeat General Bai's military order, which is a bit too much." This trip really tired him, running from house to house, saying the same thing over and over again, saying it hurt his brain, and when he met someone behind his ear or couldn't understand the words, he had to explain a few more words.
"Oops! Third Brother Xie is really hard! But you can't — let someone else take turns speaking for you? ”
"......" Xie Sanfeng looked depressed.
But at that moment, Xie Sanfeng's eyes quickly fell on Qiu Ning again, Bai Muye saw this, and patted Qiu Ning on the shoulder: "You talk, I'll go and see what I collected first!" ”
Seeing him go away, Xie Sanfeng couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly jumped in front of Qiu Ning.
"Old Seven! What's going on? How did I hear that you became a general? ”
Qiu Ning bowed slightly, looking at Xie Sanfeng's concerned expression, and the face that was still tense just now collapsed.
"Third brother...... My aunt is gone......"
What shocked Xie Sanfeng more than Qiu Ning's choked voice was what he said, and he repeated in disbelief: "What? Who's gone? Who do you say is gone? ”
Qiu Ning sniffed and looked away.
Xie Sanfeng stepped forward and pressed his shoulder: "You are talking!" What's going on! What's going on? Who are you talking about! ”
"Third brother...... My mother, she ...... Dead ......"
Qiu Ning's face was full of sadness, and there was no trace of vitality in his eyes.
"Yesterday...... While I drove the Turkic dogs around the city with you...... My mother, she ...... She's bleeding ......"
"Third brother, I don't know, I really don't know...... If I knew, I would have gone back and saved her...... Death must save ......"
"When I get home, A-Niang is already ...... Already...... There is no blood to be shed......"
She fell to the ground and looked at me, still looking so loving, still ...... But he didn't move...... I wish I could hear her call me Ning'er again......"
"Third brother...... I'm gone......"
"She has suffered so much with me in the past two years...... I'm not a son who can't make her have a good life......"
"I can save other people's mothers, but I can't save my own...... Third Brother...... I'm not filial...... Am I unfilial......"
His shoulders shook violently uncontrollably, and Qiu Ning finally hugged Xie Sanfeng and cried to death. He was depressed for a whole day, and finally found someone to vent.
"Third brother...... Third Brother...... What can I do in the future? ”
The tears of the three seals couldn't stop flowing, patting Qiu Ning's back from time to time.
When his emotions calmed down a little, Xie Sanfeng gently pushed him away, then took out a handkerchief and wiped it fiercely on his wet face.
"Cry a fart! Almost, don't go on and on! Brother, I haven't had a mother since I was a child, and I haven't lived so much! ”
"What's the use of crying? If you are a backbone, follow General Bai, go out of the city, kill all those Turkic beasts that are inferior to pigs and dogs, and avenge A-Niang! ”
"Hey, aren't you all generals? The general has to look like a general, what do you cry like? Let the people below laugh! ”
"Dog thing! You're all a general? Then you are much more talented than the third brother! Third brother, I'm just a Rausch captain, and I'm in charge of some chicken and dog things......"
Then, he heard Bai Muye's cool voice next to him.
"Letting you do these bits and pieces, it seems that you are condescending?"
Xie Sanfeng suddenly got goosebumps, and hurriedly remedied: "No, no, no!" This job is so perfect for me! General Bai, what do you think of my bronze mirrors? The top is bright, and I don't accept anything that isn't bright! ”
"The bronze mirror is still complete, and I haven't had time to look at the bell, so I heard the ghosts crying wolves on your side! I'll check it out later, and if one of these bells doesn't ring, you'll swallow it!" Bai Muye squinted at him and changed his face to a ruffian.
"That can't! Most of them are new, and some of them are now climbed on the roofs of people's houses and taken off, ensuring that they all sound! General Bai, you try, you stand in this place and wave the bell, and the wild dogs at the end of the alley can run over and wait for the meal! ”
Bai Muye made a gesture to kick someone, and scolded in the foul words he had just learned from Jiesanfeng's mouth: "Dog thing! Are you taking this general and me as a beggar? What a guts! ”
"Don't dare, don't dare! I'm going to clean up the brass bells and swallow everything that doesn't ring, so as not to get in the way of the general's eyes! Untie the three seals and turn away.
Neither of these two people is a broken mouth, Qiu Ning can see that the two of them sing and harmonize completely to make themselves feel better, and it is inevitable that they will be heartwarming.
Qiu Ning seemed to be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly left a sentence of "I'll help the third brother", and chased in the direction of the three seals.
Bai Muye looked at his back and exhaled heavily, not knowing when he would really come out of the haze.
Shaking his head helplessly, he walked over.
