In the middle of the night, the evening breeze ran through the window.

The sound of insects was faintly chirping outside, and in the quiet bedroom, a pair of eyes opened from the bed, and then got up, sat silently on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the dark room furnishings, a little dazed, what happened during the day, and the operation of more than a month made him insomnia, even if there were only a few hundred people facing thousands of enemies, it had never been.

The room was very quiet, occasionally with the movement of his wife turning over, and Zheng'er babbling in her dreams.

When he first came to this world, he was surrounded by enemies, the Huns, the Xianbei people, and even some Han people, at that time, he just wanted to live, and he didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation, and he didn't dare to show the slightest timidity and hesitation in front of the gang of horse thieves under his command.

The sound of squirming, Gongsun Zhi put on his shoes, put on his robe, and the moonlight shone in from the outside, he looked at his son on the inside, Cai Yan who was sleeping in the middle, and let out a sigh of softness, stretched out his hand to cover his wife's quilt, and his lips moved as if talking to her: "Me...... Originally, he raised wolves in the zoo, and he barely graduated from junior high school and apprenticed with a master, and then the master retired, and the job was taken over......"

The hand rubbed lightly against the woman's face.

“.…… Call me an orphan...... The dormitory in the zoo is my home...... A wire bed, a dilapidated TV, is home, never thought that one day, it would come here, it would kill people...... All the people who grab food on the grassland will fight desperately, and their heads will be broken and bleeding. ”

The fingertips slid over the side of his wife's face and withdrew: "....... I never thought I would meet you, let alone have a complete home and so many brothers. The murmuring voice stopped, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile, "Fighting...... The number of brothers increased, and the territory grew larger, and there was no way to stop, and even if I wanted to stop, they would be pushed behind to become husbands. ”

“.…… When the emperor...... Originally, I also thought about it, but the husband is just a wolf, to this side of the word can not recognize the whole person, see the bamboo slips full of words, on the head hurt, but so many pairs of eyes staring at you, and have to do, after all, on this road, there is no way back, I said that Zheng'er will sit in that position in the future, for the husband is also afraid that this guy will not sit well, and he will lose his life, at that time we are both old or dead, who will support him. ”

In the darkness, the figure wiped the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and patted the quilt corners, "Seriously, sometimes I really hate why I went to the viaduct that day, why did I encounter a shootout between the police and bandits, and sent me here." But that day, I saw you in the Zhuangzi of the Wei family outside Luoyang City, and I didn't hate you as a husband...... Therefore, the young man surnamed Lu in his previous life should be regarded as dead. ”

Gongsun Zhi got up slowly, his long hair hung down to cover half of his face, and he took two steps back, as if he had finished saying the words that had been suppressed in his heart for all these years, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"You and the child sleep peacefully, I will go to the study to deal with the fallen government affairs, and I can't sit in this world......"

Turning around slowly, Gongsun Zhi opened the door with a squeak, the wind blew in, his hair fluttered, and he stepped out, and his voice was also floating in the wind: "-I, the father, beat it down for him, and hit it firmly." ”

The door closed gently, and when the footsteps faded away, the sleeping woman on the bed turned over to the side, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Outside, the figure walked through the eaves of the porch and stopped at a door.

With a creak, he pushed open the door, stepped in, lit the candle, sat down on the long case and took a roll of bamboo slips and looked seriously, at the same time, there was also a figure walking out of the side yard from another direction, standing on the covered bridge, staring at the warm yellow window lattice over there, staring at the record.

Little by little, time passed...... It wasn't until almost dawn that someone came over that she quietly left.

********************************

In September, Pengcheng, Xuzhou, was cloudless, and the sun was scorching and the earth was exposed.

Slow horse caravans on the outskirts passed.

Hundreds of horses escorted the ox cart in the middle through the fields, and occasionally stopped, and an old man came out of the carriage, and someone next to him came to help him, and he pushed him away, saying, "The old man is still strong." In a word, he stepped on the hard soil of the ridge, leaned down and grabbed a handful of dirt, and crushed it.

"After a few heavy rains, it's been such a cool day for a month, and if the crops are damaged, it's troublesome." The old man muttered, the dust slapped off his hands, and he glanced at the farmers in the fields who were trying to water the crops, and sighed, but the people around him dissuaded him, and walked around the field with his hands behind his back.

Many guards and officials who are worried about the old man's body are following behind, this old man is Tao Qian who inspected Pengcheng, he is sixty years old this year, his body is still tough, and his steps are not slow when he walks on the rugged edge of the field.

A few years ago, at the age of fifty-six, he served as the assassin of Xuzhou, broke the yellow scarf entrenched in Xuzhou, and implemented Tuntian, and Xuzhou was stable and peaceful for several years under his governance, until recently, when he got up one day, he felt that his body became stiff and sluggish, and in the days of heavy rain, he was in pain all around, and he knew that he was really old.

I am also worried about the future of Xuzhou.

“.…… If the old man was twenty years younger, Cao Mengde'an would have been able to come in that day, thinking that the old man had set foot on Xiliang with Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen, how desolate it was, and it was not to beat the traitor to the ground. My martial arts are not bad, if I am twenty years younger, no, ten years, the old man will dare to slap him Cao Cao in the face. ”

Cao Hong, a cronie next to him, nodded his head again and again, but the old man didn't look at him, his cloudy eyes just looked at this green field, and sighed: "....... Look here, I remember when I first came to Xuzhou, it was lifeless by the Yellow Turban Thieves, where we stood, we couldn't even see people, let alone Tian, but I couldn't accept the old man. ”

"Thorn History...... What is this saying, Thorn Shi's appetite is so good every day, and if he lives for a few more decades, even if Cao Cao comes again, Xuzhou will be as stable as a mountain. ”

"Mountain? There are times when mountains collapse. Tao Qian waved his hand, probably enough of the scenery, and slowly walked back to the car: "....... The world is in turmoil, even if I have ambitions, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Kyushu unified. ”

Standing on the car, he looked at the red sun in the west, and his nostalgic eyes turned his head again to look at the surrounding green fields, farmers, and distant foothills, the wind blew and stroked the white beard: "In this life, I Tao Gongzu has never regretted it." ”

The carriage left and returned to the city, and soon after, one afternoon, Pengcheng came out with the news that Tao Qian was sick and on the couch, and people could no longer go down to the ground.
