Chapter 4 Acquaintance (5)
On this day, Dao Yan packed up the mattress, and saw that 'Tai Chi' still hadn't come back, and was about to go out to call it, but saw it hurriedly running into the house and told Dao Yan to go with it. Dao Yan hurriedly followed it towards the woods, and after a while, he saw Mo Qinling in front of him running deep into the woods with his sleeve covering his face. He didn't know what she was going to do, and he was worried that his sudden appearance would frighten her, so he followed her and walked towards the forest.
Mo Qinling came to the nest that the 'Phoenix Well' Dao Yan had built for 'Tai Chi' and slowly sat down, and then began to sob, holding a picture-like thing in his hand. At first, Dao Yan was worried that she was going to find a short-term view, and when he was about to stop her, he found that she had not done so, so he hid in the forest with 'Tai Chi' and continued to observe.
"I've done my best." Mo Qinling suddenly shouted, Dao Yan was startled, he had never seen this gentle and fairy-like Mo Qinling so excited.
"I don't like those war books, what's so good about fighting and killing, my sister is smarter than me, she should be a saint, the world is alive, what does glory and wealth have to do with me, I don't want to care, I don't want to, why force me to do what I don't like, why force me to do what I don't like, why force me." Mo Qinling muttered to herself, and rolling tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks.
"I just want to be an ordinary person, an ordinary person." After saying that, Mo Qinling waved his hand and threw the picture into the 'Phoenix Well', sobbing and returning to the tower. After seeing Mo Qinling enter the tower gate, Dao Yan and 'Tai Chi' returned to the 'Phoenix Well', scooped up the picture that she threw into the well with a bucket, and after returning to the wooden house, Dao Yan found that it was a map of Zhang Zhan's position, the upper end of the map indicated the strength of one of the parties, reinforcements, grain and grass and other information, and the lower end listed the situation of the other side, and raised a question: how to win?
Dao Yan looked at the battle position map several times, and always felt familiar, so he calmed down and recalled carefully.
The combined forces of Qi and Chu were about to force Zhang Han's army to within the range of the archers on Linji City, and Zhang Han ordered the troops to stabilize the formation, and the coalition forces failed to break up the formation of Zhang Han's troops after several fierce attacks, but the situation was not optimistic. At this time, the Linji city gate was put down, and the troops in the city seemed to be going to attack Zhang Han's army on both sides, at this time, Zhang Han waved the flag, and Dong Peng led the army to quickly kill and storm the rear of the coalition army in the dense forest, and the Linji city gate was immediately closed again. Although the coalition army was raided by Dong Peng in the rear, it quickly stabilized its position and once again forced Zhang Han's army to the direction of Linji City by virtue of its numerical superiority. When the gate of Linji City was about to be lowered again, Zhang Han waved the flag again, and Sima Xin led the army to kill out of the dense forest. The city gate was closed again, and seeing this, Zhang Han showed a smug smile on his face and issued an order to command the troops to surround the coalition forces outside the city. At this time, although the coalition army was surrounded, but the two sides were still evenly matched, if the defenders in the city were killed, Zhang Han's army would fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and the consequences would be unimaginable. However, no matter how the coalition army waved its flag and called for the defenders in the city, the gates of Rinzai City were hung high, and they could not avoid battle. In this way, Zhang Han slowly narrowed the encirclement in full view of the defenders of Linji City, annihilated the Qi and Chu coalition forces that rushed to support, and finally broke through Linji City, killing Wei Xiangzhou City and Qi Wang Tian Dan, forcing Wei Wang to commit suicide in shame.
Dao Yan woke up and hurriedly looked at the battle position map, which was exactly the same as the situation in Linji City in his dream. So he took a white cloth and simply redrew it according to the battle position map, wrote Zhang Han's strategy in the dream on the back of the map, and marked the location and configuration of the ambush on the map.
Morris stroked his beard and sat in front of the bookcase, holding Mo Qinling's battle position map in his hand and looking at it intently, the Mo sisters stood on both sides of their father, Mo Qinling was extremely nervous, biting his lip, Mo Qimiao was relaxed and happy, smiling.
"Qin'er's strategy is very good, and he does have the style of a general." Morris suddenly raised his hands and praised with a beaming expression, looking extremely happy.
"No, Daddy, let me see." Mo Qimiao said in surprise and unconvinced, snatching Mo Qinling's map from his father's hand.
"Allah willing, Qin'er has finally opened her mind, but why does this map seem to have been wet. Forget it, I'm happy today, you go and tell Dao Yan to cook a few more dishes in the evening, and I want to celebrate. After saying that, he stood up happily, stretched his arms, and went back to his room.
After the meal was put on the table, Dao Yan turned around and was about to leave, when he saw Morris walking down from the upper floor and making sign language to let him stay and eat together, after Dao Yan recovered, Morris also let him eat with their father and daughter, but they were all politely declined by Dao Yan, and Morris did not force him. This time, Dao Yan still wanted to refuse, but he saw that Morris said that he was very happy today, and asked Dao Yan not to spoil his fun, and asked him to call 'Tai Chi' with him.
After the prayer, everyone began to eat, Morris seemed to have a good appetite today, he ate every dish with relish, and broke the bread and distributed it to everyone, the conversation between father and daughter was in the Western language that Dao Yan did not understand, but it could be seen that he was very happy today, Mo Qimiao teased 'Tai Chi' with food during the banquet, and the cute appearance of 'Tai Chi' often made everyone laugh. Dao Yan looked particularly cramped in this pleasant atmosphere, just bowed his head and ate the cake silently. Mo Qinling sandwiched some greens and dried plums into Dao Yan's bowl, and when Dao Yan thanked him, the two looked at each other, and immediately lowered their heads quickly with shame on their faces to eat the cake in their hands. At this time, Mo Qimiao threw the last piece of cake in his hand high, and 'Tai Chi' actually jumped when the cake fell from mid-air, turned a somersault in the air and accurately held the cake in his mouth, and when he landed, he turned over a few times in a row, and finally fell down in a cute manner, and ate the cake on his back with his back to the sky, even Mo Qi was amused by it, and he leaned back and forth, Mo Qi Miao ran over, hugged 'Tai Chi', kissed it deeply, and then lifted it above his head and turned around with a smile.
After cleaning up, Dao Yan returned to his wooden house, opened the note that Mo Qinling had stuffed into his hand when he was about to go out, and a string of familiar and delicate handwriting appeared in front of him: Zishi, Phoenix Well.
Dao Yan came to the 'Phoenix Well' early, and although it was spring, the mountain breeze at night was still a little cold. When he was still far away, Dao Yan saw Mo Qinling in the woods carrying a lantern and walking over to this side, "The woods are so dark, why don't you play the lantern?" Mo Qinling asked, seeing that Dao Yan did not respond, so he asked again in sign language, and Dao Yan replied that he had good eyesight, "What an unpredictable person, anything strange can happen to you." Mo Qinling muttered to herself. Then she expressed her gratitude to Dao Yan for helping her cope with Daddy's battle map test. Dao Yan smiled shyly. Mo Qinling set up the lamp next to the small nest before 'Tai Chi', and pulled Dao Yan to sit down by the well.
"It's better if you can't hear me, so I can have someone to talk to." Mo Qinling muttered.
"I heard my father say that the abbot of the temple said that you are an orphan, and my mother also left us when I was young, although my father raised us, but according to the wisest elder of the clan, since my mother left my father, my father's whole person has changed, the previous father loved a peaceful life, treated guests and friends generously, we lived in harmony with all the tribes around us, and interacted with each other on an equal footing, but later my father wanted to unite them to make one' And in order to unite the various tribes, he even wanted to restore the system of selecting saints that had been abolished for hundreds of years. The elder persuaded Daddy several times to give up this idea, because according to the ancient legend handed down from our clan, some very miserable things often happened in the selection of saints throughout the ages, and it is said that this tradition was interrupted hundreds of years ago because one of the saints of our ancestors was cursed, but Daddy not only listened to the elder's advice, but even expelled him. In order to set an example, my sister and I were raised as candidates for sainthood from an early age, and learned a lot of things that I hated, like those wars that fought and killed. I'm not as smart as my sister, but as the eldest daughter, my father has high expectations for me and is very strict, but I only like to play the piano, I don't want to be a saint, I don't want to be intrigued, I just want to be an ordinary woman, and when I grow up, I will spend an ordinary and quiet life with someone I like and like me. But I couldn't bear to disappoint my father, and I was sad to see him. What should I do, how to do it. I really want my mother to come back, and our family can go back to our hometown and live a carefree and free life. Crystal tears flowed from her big beautiful eyes. Dao Yan groped around on her body in a panic, trying to find a soft cloth to wipe her tears, but she didn't find anything, so she had to reach out and prepare to replace it with her sleeve, who knew that she just stretched out her hand in front of her, but she reached out and grabbed it tightly, and then a sharp pain came, Dao Yan gritted his teeth and held back. The mountain wind blew through, carrying away many silent sighs.
Later, Mo Qinling asked Dao Yan why he didn't soak the tooth marks on his arm in the sarcophagus to remove them, and Dao Yan replied that he wanted to keep it in this life and this life, and since then the sound of the piano coming from the tower has a little more lingering meaning. Morris mixed a dose of ointment to try to treat Dao Yan's ear disease, and Dao Yan took the opportunity to 'restore' his hearing. Mo Qimiao has become a little eccentric because he is not as good as his sister in every battle test, and when he plays with his temperament, he will create some small troubles for Dao Yan, but he is very good at 'Tai Chi', and often brings the delicacies that officials pay tribute to Morris to eat, which makes 'Tai Chi' a lot fatter. When chatting with nothing, 'Tai Chi' told Dao Yan that he was caught by several lamas in the deep mountains of ancient Shu land, and when he arrived in Hangzhou City, he found an opportunity to insert a bamboo into his heart and pretended to be dead to escape, and when he fled to the 'White Pagoda Temple', he wanted to find something to eat because of hunger, but was found by Daohua and others, and wanted to eat it, and then it was rescued by Dao Yan on the way to escape.
