The incandescent lightning tore through the night sky, the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened, and in an instant they fell into deeper darkness, and the deafening thunder "fluttered" loudly, as if the huge iron in the sky was broken by the hammer of the thunder god, the long wind howled, and the surging clouds seemed to fit the earth—

Sixteen-year-old Ran Sheng ran east along the north bank of his accustomed aunt, he knew his life experience, he believed what Uncle Jing said, Uncle Jing said these things to him so solemnly, it could not be to deceive him, he spoke late, and he didn't learn to speak until he was six years old, but when he was a child, Uncle Jing carried him on his back and fled the experience of still remembering, there are a lot of people who fled from north to south, some are hundreds of people from the whole clan to the south, mighty, some are a family of several people, brothers and sisters, parents and children, only he and Uncle Jing are two people who fled, because they can't speak clearly, He couldn't ask Uncle Jing about the past, and he didn't understand why he suddenly had to run for his life day and night, and after several years, displacement, and a lot of hardships, he forgot the experience before escaping, Uncle Jing said vaguely that his parents and relatives had passed away-

Since the age of twelve, Ran Sheng has experienced the warmth of home, Chen's mother Li is very loving, Xiao Langjun is very good to him, Xilou Chen does not treat him as a person, his status is a bit like Chen's doorman, for Run'er's little lady, he is both like and awe, he thinks Run'er little lady is too beautiful, too smart, he is unworthy, he is still ignorant, he has not thought about marrying a wife and having children, his thoughts are very vague, and he does not take it too seriously, and his life is happy and relaxed-

But tonight Uncle Jing said to him, like a mountain on his head, a few years ago in Jiangbei, Uncle Jing took him to be with the homeless people, he also heard the deeds of the Wei King Ran Min, those homeless people have mixed praise and disparagement of Ran Min, reverence is natural, but there are also people who hate Ran Min very much, thinking that Ran Min is belligerent and caused their family to be ruined, Uncle Jing will be very angry when he hears this, often step forward and kick the person over, and then pull him to run away quickly, then he felt funny and strange, he asked Uncle Jing why he kicked that person? Uncle Jing said that the man was disrespectful to King Ran, and those surnamed Ran in the world were all good people, and they couldn't be slandered-

Ran Sheng never expected that Ran Min was actually his father, his parents and relatives who had no memory became clear in an instant, they were all killed by the Murong family, which shocked him incomparably, the huge pain was heartbreaking, he ran all the way, the rumbling thunder was deaf, and suddenly hit a tree in the dark night, the pain was unbearable, he roared, his eyes were red, and he slammed into the willow tree with the thickness of the bowl, and he still didn't understand the hatred, picked up the trunk that was several feet long and swept left and right, but listened to the "click" sound endlessly, The willow forest on the bank of the stream was swept away by him—

In the lightning and thunder, the heavy rain poured down, and the majestic and burly Ran Sheng danced and rampaged the willow trunks, surging with strong killing intent in his chest, thinking about smoothing it all out.

Chen Caozhi and Jing Nu had already arrived at this time, Jing Nu saw Ran Sheng's crazy appearance, and wanted to come forward to persuade him, but was stopped by Chen Caozhi, and the two of them watched Ran Sheng level the willow forest here in the heavy rain, which was the place where Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng swam in the water in the evening.

Ran Sheng ran ten miles to get here, and broke more than 100 shore fir trees in a row, he was exhausted, his body swayed, and a lightning bolt crossed, he saw Xiao Langjun and Uncle Jing not far away, and couldn't help screaming sadly: "Xiao Langjun - Uncle Jing -" plopped and knelt on the ground.

Chen Caozhi was also soaked, and walked over and said, "Xiao Sheng, go back with me." Then he turned and left.

The heavy rain did not stop, it was dim, Chen Caozhi's moon-white shirt showed a faint white shadow in the rainy night, Ran Sheng followed this white shadow all the way back, and it was about to reach the south gate of Guxiao City, the rain gradually became smaller, the white shadow stopped, Chen Caozhi's voice said calmly: "Xiao Sheng, from now on you grow up, you have to follow me back to the city as if nothing happened, the old hatred is buried in your heart, don't think about revenge, the Murong clan has a time to fall, but now, it is not you who can deal with it alone, Uncle Jing rescued you ten years ago to save the Ran family's blood and bones, I want you to live well, and now that you have grown up, if you recklessly think about revenge and send you to death senselessly, how can this be worthy of your parents and relatives under Jiuquan! ”

Jing Nu led the horse over and said: "Xiao Langjun is right, Xiao Langjun is the smartest person in the world, and the little lord should listen to Xiao Langjun's good words." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Uncle Jing, it's better to call him Xiaosheng." ”

Jing Nu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

Ran Sheng let the rain drip, was silent for a long time, and said in a dumb voice: "Xiao Langjun, I want to join the army, I want to be a military commander." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Okay, I'll take you to see the marching Sima tomorrow, you start from the lower-level military officials, and struggle up step by step, just like I started struggling from the children of the Han family, I am Wen, you are Wu." ”

Ran Sheng straightened up and said loudly: "Yes." ”

Chen Caozhi said to Jing Nu: "Xiao Sheng's identity is special, he must not be revealed, he is not famous now, and he will have a great reputation in the army in the future, and he is so majestic, it is inevitable that some people will think of King Ran Wei, which is extremely unfavorable to Xiao Sheng——"

Jing Nu admired Chen Caozhi very much, and knew that Chen Caozhi really cared for Ran Sheng, so he asked: "What did Xiao Langjun say to do?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I thought that Xiao Sheng had to change his surname to Chen and call him Chen Yu, and he would be commensurate with my brother from then on." ”

Jing Nu was dumbfounded, thinking about it carefully, Chen Caozhi was reasonable, Ran Sheng's identity could not be revealed, and the Qian Tang Chen clan is now a scholar clan, Chen Caozhi is even more Jiangzuo Juncai, recognizing Ran Sheng, who was born as a homeless person, as his younger brother, it is really a kindness to Ran Sheng, and immediately looked at Ran Sheng: "Xiao Sheng——"

Ran Sheng was also stunned, and hesitated: "Xiao Langjun is my brother?" ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Xiao Sheng is unwilling? ”

Ran Shengbai fell to the ground and cried out with tears: "Brother-"

Chen Caozhi said: "Okay, from now on, your name is Chen Yu, the word is sheng, and it is also the source of my Yingchuan Chen family, and it is my distant brother." ”

Chen Caozhi, Ran Sheng, Jing Nu returned to the apartment at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, Xiaochan, Laide and others were very anxious, seeing that the three returned safely, this was relieved, Xiaochan hurriedly prepared water with the servant woman to bathe the three of them, and ordered the cook to fry brown sugar ginger soup to let the three of them dispel the cold.

Ran Sheng had many bruises on his head and face, his clothes were tattered, his arms were red and swollen, Chen Cao ordered Zuo Lang to find the bruise medicine that was always available in the army to treat Ran Sheng's injuries, and told Xiaochan and others that Ran Sheng was his distant brother, and Jing Nu only learned about it recently.

Xiaochan, Lai Zhen, Lai De and others were all surprised, but since Xiao Langjun said so, they believed it and came to congratulate Xiao Langjun and Xiao Sheng.

Lai Zhen only sent 6 Weirui's letter at this time, and he was busy talking about Chen Jiawu before, and forgot to submit the letter written by the 6 little lady to Xiao Langjun.

Chen Caozhi's exhibition looked at 6 Wei Rui's letters, a stack of delicate jute paper, "Huashan Tablet" body Xiaoli, it was actually a diary written by 6 Wei Rui, 6 Wei Rui from April 16 every day to write down some things that she thought were interesting and Chen Langjun was also interested in, thinking about which day to show Chen Langjun, because she had never seen Chen Langjun since Gu Kaizhi and Zhang Tongyun got married, the second uncle was very strict, Chen Langjun went to the aunt again, it was difficult to see each other, and she missed the cup-

Chen Caozhi's heart fluctuated because of Ran Sheng's affair before, but now he reads Wei Rui's diary, his eyes are smiling, and his heart is calm.

The next day, Chen Caozhi went to see Xie Xuan, and said that Ran Sheng was his distant brother, Xie Xuan was surprised, but he did not doubt him, and immediately led Ran Sheng with Chen Cao to see the marching Sima, Huan Wen had already said that he would give Ran Sheng the post of captain, and the marching Sima immediately injected the military registration for Ran Sheng, and the name of the note was Chen Yu, the word Zisheng, and he belonged to the command of Ningyuan's general Huan Shiqian.

Huan Shi Qian is the son of Huan Wen's brother Huan Huo, small characters to suppress evil, talented, brave, extremely agile, six years ago with his uncle Huan Wen's second Northern Expedition, Huan Chong was besieged by Fu Jian's army, unable to break through, Huan Shi Qian jumped to it, saved Uncle Huan Chong in tens of thousands of enemy troops and returned, do not dare to resist, the three armies sighed, shocked the enemy, when the children suffered from malaria, it was said that "Huan Shi Qian came" to fear, the sick were more healed.

Note the military membership, received the waist card, Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi and the marching Sima took Ran Sheng to see Ningyuan's general Huan Shiqian, Huan Shiqian came from Jingzhou recently, I heard that this Wu Chang Chen Yu is the younger brother of the newly famous Chen Peng, and he is so majestic, he immediately let the tooth soldier who is about seven feet five inches under his account fight with Ran Shengjiao——

Although Ran Sheng has not learned the skills of horns, but the victory is great, one force down ten will, the tooth soldier has not yet come close, was grabbed by Ran Sheng in the chest, struggled to lift, actually lifted the feet of the relatives soldier off the ground, casually slammed it, and fell out.

Huan Shiqian laughed and said to Chen Caozhi: "Chen Peng, my brother is extremely brave, he was the first chief, and after three months of training with the army, he will move to the head of a hundred people." ”

Compared with Chen Caozhi's hard reading years to get into the product, Ran Sheng relied on his natural bravery, and he had to be promoted to the commander of the army when he first joined the army, which was faster than Chen Caozhi's promotion, but the lower-level officers only needed to have bravery, and if they wanted to rise to the intermediate military ranks such as the commander of the department and the military commander, they needed to be brave and resourceful.

At this time, the subordinate officials of Wei Chang, the chief secretary of the general's mansion, came to invite Huan Shiqian to the banquet of the great Sima, and when he saw Xie Xuan and Chen Caozhi, he said happily: "Xie Peng and Chen Peng are also here, and they are about to invite the two, so let's go together." ”

Chen Caozhi went to the General's Mansion with Huan Shiqian and Xie Xuan, while Ran Sheng stayed in Zicheng, and there would be a day off on the fifth day, so he could go back to his aunt to see Chen Caozhi.

Chen Caozhi rode a horse away from Zicheng, looked back, Ran Sheng stood in front of the city gate and watched, this sixteen-year-old boy who was like an iron tower has since embarked on the road of military service, no longer the simple and leisurely time of the past, the generation of the teenager who praised Gu Kaizhi's poem "Wonderful" all night is gone, how many people will change overnight? The melancholy of growing up at this time, or the helplessness of fate?
