Chapter 64: The Old Past
Chapter 64: The Past of Adulthood
After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream.
The starry sky is bright, the moon and stars are scarce, and Cui Baishen walks with one shallow foot and one foot in the moonlight.
Today, Cui Bai specially took an afternoon off, hoping to rush to Meicheng before dark.
I never thought that I still overestimated my little short legs, and I haven't seen the shadow of Meicheng at night.
"Brother Ye, according to my footsteps, how long will it take to get to Meicheng."
Cui Bai shouted that his calf was in some pain, and he had to break the monotonous footsteps.
Ye Xiaoqi, who was sent to protect Cui Bai, was an eight-foot man who followed Cui Bai's father to fight against the survivors of the Japanese Invaders.
There are not many cold words, but Cui Bai can feel a kind of care.
Because of the commander's problem, the soldiers at the bottom are also like zombies all the way.
"It will take about another hour, and I should be able to arrive before the hour."
arrived before eleven o'clock and walked for two hours, Cui Bai didn't know that his legs would not be his own at that time.
blamed himself for his good face, and went to the Huang family to get a carriage that had already solved everything, and he had to be offended.
"If the son can't hold on, the humble position can carry you away."
Cui Bai didn't like this very much, and emphasized this issue when they met.
But Lao Ye just didn't listen, he knew very well what the situation of the Cui family was, and he also knew that Cui Shouye was an adopted son.
He only recognizes Cui Bai as a hundred households, unless he goes out to carry out military orders, otherwise even Cui Shouye can't move him at ordinary times.
This is the main reason why he was sent to protect Cui Bai.
Brother Ye didn't say that Cui Bai might still push the boat down the river, and when he said it, he reminded himself to hold on.
This made Cui Bai very curious, how did his cheap father lead the troops and bring out such hard bones.
"No need Brother Ye, let's go to the front and find a place to rest for a while."
Naturally, there was no response, Cui Bai only acquiesced, and the monotonous pace of the field resumed again.
The autumn wind is always uncertain, and Changle is on the seaside, and it is even more difficult to prevent it, and the wind suddenly blows.
When there was experience, Ye Xiaoqi immediately came to his senses.
"It's going to rain, go to the temple in front of you to take shelter from the rain."
As he spoke, he directly lifted Cui Bai with one hand, hugged him in his arms and walked forward.
Fortunately, I didn't hold Cui Bai's rib that had not fully recovered, otherwise the tragedy would have happened again.
The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, and a salty and wet sea breeze is coming, which is the prelude to the afternoon.
The moon was also slowly blocked in the sky, and there was not a single star in sight in the east.
Because Ye Xiaoqi overestimated Cui Bai's speed, the group did not bring torches.
The moonlight obscured it, the road became unrecognizable, and the group could move forward quickly in the dark.
This kind of night owl skill is simply amazing.
Before the autumn rain came, the group rushed to the broken temple, but it was far from the scene in the movie.
There is no Buddha statue, only a sculpture of the Sea Dragon King, which is extremely simple.
"Take out the fire fold and light it first."
Cui Bai thought of another good thing, that is, a lighter.
These things can only be said later, and a sergeant used a fire fold to set fire to the only cloth in the temple.
Cut off the cloth with a knife, and then add weeds to it, and the fire brightened little by little.
The two soldiers took advantage of the light of the fire to pick off the wooden strips around the Sea Dragon King one by one, and split them into small strips with knives, and the fire grew little by little.
The temple was a few years old, the room was full of cobwebs, and the tattered offering table had been transformed by the sergeant to complete its final mission.
"Childe, we can only wait for the rain to stop and then rush back to Meicheng, you eat this cake first, cushion."
Cui Bai knotted the flatbread, and when he opened his mouth, he bit it, full of pain.
Looking at Ye Xiaoqi with resentment, Lao Ye looked at the rain outside the door, and he was in a hurry.
"Childe, you can just put it on the fire and roast it, that's it."
A sergeant demonstrated how to eat the marching cake in Cui Bai and threw it directly into the fire.
The surface of the cake immediately expands under the action of high temperature, just like baking a rice cake.
He threw the bread in his hand into the fire and watched the surface of the bread swell little by little.
When it is almost seared, the cake is shaved out with a stick, and a burnt aroma comes to the face.
Cui Bai, who hadn't eaten dinner yet, patted off the ash on it and took a bite directly, chewing it along with a small piece of charcoal on the cake and eating it into his stomach.
People are iron rice and steel are panicked if they don't eat hungry, and after walking so many ways, Cui Bai has long been hungry.
Not to mention charcoal that helps the body, even if there are stones, he will eat them.
After eating the cake, Cui Bai couldn't bear his body and wanted to take a vacation, his eyelids began to do pull-ups, and finally died of hoarseness.
The sergeant who had just guided Cui Bai to eat the cake waited for Cui Bai to fall asleep and said, "Big brother, the true resemblance of the son and the head of a hundred households."
"That's natural, Gongzi is the bloodline of a hundred households is naturally similar, and only a hundred households can die in vain, and Lin Qi, the villain, is cheaper."
The other sergeants knew the temper of their own little flag, and only regarded these words as the autumn wind, and they did not enter their ears.
If it weren't for these old people who were against Qianhu, and they were protected by the old brothers back then, let alone Xiaoqi, they would have been killed in the sea a long time ago.
"After so many years, you still can't let go of the big brother, what kind of Chen sesame seeds are rotten grain, wait for the son to grow up. Childe is called a prodigy, and when the time comes, he will come to the royal front to complain, and he will not worry that Lin Qi will not die. ”
Ye Xiaoqi stood up and said: "Most of the people who have been admitted to the Jinshi are in their thirties, and you and I have only a handful of old bones left in such years, how can you still lift the knife." Hundreds of households have endured for so many years to protect me from dying in battle, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to endure it that day. ”
"Yes, he is a thousand households, and the soldiers under us at that time have small families when they are pacified. couldn't hold Lin Qi's sore spots, so he hit a rake, and the son couldn't keep it at that time. ”
There was silence again, and neither of them knew what to say.
"No, the revenge of the hundred households still has to be avenged, and when the son is older, tell him about it, and Lao Tzu will kill the kid himself."
The voice was not loud but firm and absolute, and it punched everyone's hearts, dull and terrible.
"You don't have to go, I'm enough for one person, he's not my opponent yet. But you have to remember how your father died, and who taught you after he died. ”
All the sergeants hung their heads, and only the older sergeant retorted.
"Big brother, you can not think about you, you can't ignore your sister-in-law and Nian'er."
Ye Xiaoqi frowned, and he hesitated on the issue of his wife and children.
After waiting for a long time, everyone thought that he had given up, and then heard him say, "Then they will be handed over to you, and they will leave Meicheng then."
Xiaoqi wanted to wait for others to cover his sister-in-law's escape, and kill thousands of households by himself.
The grievances of the Cui family back then are no longer mentioned, so why is Xiaoqi so bothered.
The sergeant on the side shook his head, he shouldn't have mentioned Cui Baihu, he blamed himself for being cheap.
When he raised his hand, he gave himself two big mouths, and his voice was so loud that it woke up Cui Bai, who had just fallen asleep.
