Chapter 74: Returning to Eat Cakes
"That's what it tastes like!" Long Fei swallowed the rice cake with tears, "If it wasn't for the ghost who was deceived by Long Guang's kid, why would I leave home at an old age!" ”
"You're talking about the Second Hall Master of the Dragon?" Baili Liang wanted to ask about it, but he was afraid that Long Fei would not say it, so he helped Long Fei to sit in the chair and put the cotton clothes on his legs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's the brute!" Long Fei's chatterbox opened, "Back then, that kid coaxed me with clever words, saying that the state lord invited me to be a military advisor, I thought, I have read so many books in my life, and it is not in vain for me to be a rich man and five cars, I actually believed that kid's words and left with him, who knows, but it was for me to make a crossbow for the robber!" I don't agree, Long Guang actually sent someone to guard me, I can't leave if I want to, I'm angry, I gouge out my eyes, who can blame me, I have no eyes! ”
"Uncle Long, don't be angry, I'll get you some water." Baili Liang knew the reason for the matter, and sighed in his heart, and he brought the old man a cup of hot water. Obviously, Shen Du has just come.
"Alas, I could have died to Mingzhi, but I still want to live, Xiaobai, you will laugh at Uncle Long." Long Fei sighed loudly.
"How so!" That being said, Baili Liang smiled, the so-called Ming Zhi with death, he didn't know what Zhi was! "Uncle Long, you have to be good, there is nothing in this world worth exchanging your life for. After eating the rice cakes, my aunt will make it for you again, so you eat slowly. ”
"Hmph, let's talk about it, don't you just want me to make a crossbow, you go, get away from me, and have a virtue with that kid in Long Guang, and talk flatteringly!" Long Fei was angry again.
"Okay, Uncle Long, you are basking in the sun, there will be a banquet for the master at noon, and I will come to eat with you in the evening!" Baili Liang didn't want to provoke him, this eccentric old man, good words were treated as bad words, even if he had the heart to be good for him, he couldn't argue. Baili Liang was very bored and left Long Fei's yard.
It's too early, there is almost an hour to leave the banquet, Baili Liang has nothing to do for a while, and walks around this big mansion, the front yard is noisy, and the wine banquet is being prepared, and Baili Liang walks to the backyard. There is a garden in the backyard with a lotus pond, and there is a pavilion in the pool, the scale is not small, thinking about the prime minister when he was alive, it must be a group of glory.
The season in the north is not as good as the south, the autumn color is bleak, the flowers have been killed, but it can also be seen that there is no lack of people in the house to take care of it, although the flowers and plants are withered, the old branches are still there, neat and tidy, there is a ridge of autumn chrysanthemums, colorful and very happy.
Baili Liang pinched a golden silk chrysanthemum, held it in his hand and played with it, looking at this back garden, thinking of the barrenness of the barbarian town, it is really difficult to connect these two places that are similar but completely different.
"I can't find my son all over the place, but I came here to steal flowers!" You Linglong didn't know when she walked behind Baili Liang.
"Ashamed, ashamed!" Baili Liang looked at the flower in his hand, and then looked at the flower branch that was broken, and felt remorse.
"It's all picked by you, what's so shameful, it's not a husband's behavior to say such things afterwards." You Linglong snatched the golden chrysanthemum, sniffed it and pinned it in her hair, she was wearing a light green dress today, and the golden flowers lined her a little more coquettish, "Is it good-looking?" ”
"Beautiful!" Baili Liang smiled, this is the best use of it, very good.
"Sister, you're bullying the six hall masters again." You Hang is also holding a chrysanthemum in his hand, it is a purple chrysanthemum, he is dressed in white, and the original ordinary purple chrysanthemum seems to be stained with his appearance and temperament, and it is a little more fairy.
"How can there be, brother, why did you steal the flowers, if Sister Hong saw you picking her flowers like this, she would definitely be angry!" You Linglong said.
"Sister Hong is not so stingy!" You hangs a smile, although he is a man, he laughs like a spring breeze.
"Who said I'm not stingy, I'm very stingy!" Sister Hong approached Nana, carrying a basket in her hand, she was dressed very differently today than when Baili Liang first saw her, wearing a purple dress, standing with You Linglong, like a pair of sisters, although Sister Hong was old enough to be Linglong's mother.
"Sister Hong, do you want to make chrysanthemum cakes? I'll help you! You Linglong saw that the red orange had picked a few chrysanthemums and put them in the basket, and reached out to help her pick chrysanthemums.
"No need." Hongcheng stopped You Linglong, "Linglong, you brothers and sisters go to the front yard to greet guests, Lord You has brought a lot of guests today, I don't like to socialize, I bother your brothers and sisters to do it for you!" ”
"Okay, Sixth Hall Master, see you at the banquet!" You Linglong was very refreshed and pulled You Hang away.
Baili Liang was about to leave, but was stopped by Red Orange.
"Xiaobai, you have a black dagger on your waist? Can you lend me a look? "Red Orange Road.
"Yes." Baili Liang took it and handed it to Red Orange.
Hongcheng took it, pulled out the dagger and looked at it a few times, in a daze, and then looked at Baili Liang beggingly, "Can you lend me a few days?" ”
Baili Liang nodded.
"Xiaobai, will you blame me for forcing you to stay?" Red Orange carefully put the dagger into the flower basket, and it seemed to be very precious.
Knowingly asked, Baili Liang was not polite to her, and sneered.
Hongcheng smiled and picked a few chrysanthemums, "This chrysanthemum is a small seed for me, and a few samples of the species that my grandfather brought back from the capital were just a few small seedlings, but now they have grown into a piece, so what, the flowers are like brocade, and the people are gloomy!" My grandfather loved to eat the chrysanthemum cakes I made, and the man liked it too. That year, I took bread to hunt in the suburbs, and I met General Xin, who shot a tiger at the same time, and he praised me as a heroine, and cut off the tiger skin for me on the spot. General Xin cut the tiger skin with a black dagger, saying that it was a gift from his friend Twilight Rain, which is exactly the same as yours. I received a tiger skin and shared chrysanthemum cakes with the general, who said that it was delicious, and said that if I could get food every year, my life would not be in vain. I said that as long as the general was willing, Hongcheng was willing to make cakes for the general every year, and the general said that when the world was peaceful, he would return to eat cakes. ”
Baili Liang listened to Hongcheng's narration, saw her eyebrows and grievances, and knew that she was sad in her heart, so he was not good at persuasion and bowed his head and was silent.
"If I say I want peace in this world, will you laugh at me?" Red Orange suddenly looked at Baili Liang, his eyes resolute.
"Just so that General Xin can come back and eat the chrysanthemum cake you made?"
"Hmm." Red Orange nodded solemnly.
"Oh." Baili Liang responded, and his mind didn't seem to turn much.
"Don't you think I'm funny, I'm a woman, but I want to make the world peaceful!" Red Orange chuckled, as if laughing at herself, "Sometimes, I think it's ridiculous, but if I don't do it, how can I know it's not feasible." ”
"It's not funny." Baili Liang was shocked at this time, not only was it not funny, but he even admired the red orange.
"So I married Xu Hai, because people like Xu Hai are more able to gain a foothold in troubled times, and I also believe that he is by no means an idle person, just waiting for an opportunity. You're here, and so is his chance. Xiaobai, I can see that you are a person without ambition, to put it mildly, that is, you have talent but no ambition, if anyone gets you, it is equivalent to getting a treasure, since God sent you to help me, how can I let go. ”
"I'm not talented!" Baili Liang sneered, he just met Zu Xiu by chance and learned a little crossbow making technique, he never thought he was talented, said that he had no ambition, but he completely agreed, until now, all he asked for was to live a peaceful life with the two mothers-in-law and Xiaorou in the future, but he promised to avenge Huo Guang, if it weren't for this, he would have stayed in Baicao Village.
"Don't be modest! To tell the truth, if I hadn't met General Xin, I wouldn't have such great ambitions, whether it's upheaval or peace, I just want to stay with the people I love! But now I understand General Xin, you see that in this city, there are people who have lost their husbands and fathers, and the world is in chaos to this point, how many people who love each other can never leave each other! The world is not peaceful, it is difficult for ordinary people to have a good life, such as you, you have half a point by yourself, there is no our Hong Gang, and there is an official government to catch Ding, even if you have escaped Tuzhou City, how far can you go, you have to dress up as a man and a woman when you go out, I only ask you, how happy are you to live? ”
"I ......" Baili Liang was like being poured a basin of cold water, he had never thought about this problem before, and he even had the idea of hiding for a while.
"Xiaobai, don't let yourself become a fish on someone else's board! Though I force you to remain equally dishonorable. ”
"Sister Hong, I'm ......"
"You, like a little woman! Don't think that this world can become peaceful in an instant, do you think I still want to! Who wants to live with their head pinned to their waistband all day? If you just wait and dream, you are really vulgar, worse than a woman! Xiaobai, let's go with our Hongbang, fight the world and come out, and return the peace of the people, you also want your two mothers-in-law and little sister to live well!"
"I'm afraid I'm powerless." Baili Liang said, he knows better than anyone how many pounds and taels he has, and he has to be protected by Xiaofang on the battlefield, and he doesn't have that talent if he doesn't go to the battlefield to let him strategize.
"I said that you have it, I am not afraid of what you are afraid of! You are still young, don't be foolish of yourself. Hongcheng encouraged, "Don't say it, I'm going to make cakes, I'll send you some when I go back, I hope that the day the general returns, he can praise me for my craftsmanship getting better and better!" ”
Red Orange smiled and left.
Baili Liang thought about what Hongcheng had just said, walked to the pavilion in the center of the pool, and looked at the remnants in a daze. There are fish in the pond, the water is very clear, the swimming fish are clearly visible, one of the big fish sucks a few small fish into the mouth with a mouth, Baili Liang suddenly thought of the day on the ghost slope a bug bit another worm, and his heart was shocked, and he thought of what happened in the barbarian town, the county lord's grass and human life, the twilight rain was tenacious and fearless, the panic and helplessness at that time, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it.
Hongcheng is right, waiting for the world to be peaceful and not doing anything is really a woman's inferiority, although he has never despised women.
Then, just stay, at least, he wants to drive away the Xizhou soldiers for the two mothers-in-law and Xiaorou.
Baili Liang took out the soldier on his waist and carefully studied the crossbow machine diagram on those pages.
