Chapter 14 Something on the mind

To the north of Daheng is a vast grassland, where a few goats are leisurely chewing grass roots. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The inhabitants of this area live as nomads, and wherever the meadows are more fertile, they move to that place with their cattle and sheep and their families in tow. The inhabitants did not have a fixed place to live, and could not form a settlement, and even if Emperor Qinghua built a city here, not many people were willing to live there. The northerners felt that the large stone building of the city of Woye seriously violated the tradition of the steppe. What should a man of the steppe do in a tent, gallop in the green fields on a horse, and hide in a stone house all day long?

Li Datou, a soldier in Woye City, was still patrolling as usual, even though his friends in the same battalion always laughed at him for being stupid, he still insisted on patrolling. The war has just stopped for four years, and the Beiban has not yet recovered, and now it is spring again, and it seems impossible for the Beiban to attack at this moment. But Li Datou didn't dare to relax, he didn't relax after his family died tragically under the brute's scimitar seven years ago.

He stretched out his hand to block the sun and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, a black line appeared in view, it was a barbarian! The barbarians' soldiers and horses are here again!

Li Datou secretly cursed in his heart, and then immediately turned the horse's head. The whip in his hand whipped his beloved war horse, hoping that the horse would be faster, and that if it was faster, it might save the family more.

The iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians, the moment they set foot in the north of Daheng, it means that the war has begun.

Woye City has not yet received Li Datou's report, and it is certainly impossible for the imperial capital to know that the barbarians have come to provoke the majesty of Daheng again.

A few days ago, the news of the Hengdu Poetry Society spread all over the imperial capital, along with Chen Baichuan's name. While people scolded the Lin family for losing face again, they would also comment on the Chen envoy of the thirteen poems under the moon. Regardless of whether the evaluation is good or bad, Chen Baichuan can be regarded as a celebrity in the imperial capital.

"Baichuan Baichuan, I want to eat this." Yesterday, in the court, he talked with a group of Daheng officials about the trade between the two countries for a whole day, Chen Baichuan said categorically that he would only buy goatskins in the future, and the Daheng officials could not figure out the reason and did not dare to draw conclusions, so they delayed the answer to Chen Baichuan for a day. Chen Baichuan was free, so he went to ask his little lover to go out to visit the imperial capital.

Hearing the child-like request of the white frost, Chen Baichuan walked up to the sugar gourd seller with a wry smile and handed the vendor two pennies.

"Uncle, bring me two sugar gourds."

When the vendor saw the business coming to the door, he immediately handed over the sugar gourd after taking the money, and when he saw Chen Baichuan looking at him, he asked: "Is the little brother from another place, I have traveled all over the imperial capital, and I have never seen the little brother." ”

"You know all the people in the imperial capital, so do you know who I am?" White frost interjected.

"The little girl is the daughter of the White Mansion?" The peddler pretended to touch his beard deeply. The courtyard of the Baifu Mansion has always been mysterious, and even the servants inside don't know what the master's family does for a living. People are often in awe and curious about mysterious things, and the hawker always has to take a few more glances when passing by the White Mansion, and naturally knows that it is the daughter of the Bai family in front of him.

"Uncle has good eyesight, he is from Chen Guoren, he just came to the imperial capital not long ago, and he feels that his eyes are really normal." Bai Shuang covered his mouth in surprise, and even if Chen Baichuan didn't know that there were so many doorways inside, he guessed that the uncle just happened to know Bai Shuang. If so many people in the imperial capital remembered it, Chen Baichuan would immediately pull the hawker back to participate in the strongest brain.

What Chen Baichuan didn't expect was that when the uncle heard that he was from Chen Guoren, his face changed, and he turned to leave, and there were words in his mouth: "Bad luck, bad luck, I have done Chen Guoren's business." ”

Bai Shuang was so angry that he opened his teeth and claws: "What's wrong with Chen Guoren, what's wrong with Chen Guoren?" ”

Reaching out to press down the dancing arms of the white frost, Chen Baichuan's heart was dripping with bitterness. For the people of Daheng, he is an intruder, their enemy, and after returning to the Chen Kingdom, he will be a great hero who is welcomed by the people. The positions are different, so he does not ask for the understanding of the people.

"Frost, shall we go sit by the stream for a while?" Chen Baichuan's voice was a little tired.

The two of them got along for several days, and Baishuang also knew a little about Chen Baichuan, she saw that Chen Baichuan didn't seem to be very happy, and smiled and held Chen Baichuan's hand: "Okay, it's just that I'm tired." ”

Spread the warmth of one person to another, so that the hearts of two people are closer and closer.

The afternoon wind was warm, Chen Baichuan was lying on the grass by the stream, and Baishuang was sitting quietly under the tree beside him.

"Frost, let me tell you the story of my family."

"My father died when I was a child, and my mother and brother loved me very much. Once the neighbor's child said that I was a child who didn't have a father's pain, and I didn't take it to heart at the time, but what I didn't expect was that my brother secretly told me at night that if I think my father, I can call him daddy when no one is around. As a result, the mother who was at the door heard it, and the elder brother was slapped several times. He also comforted me and said that he was not in pain, but his eyes were obviously red. ”

"He wants to take everything on his shoulders."

"But now that I'm older, I'm going to take on something for my home."

"I'm sixteen years old, I'm also a man, I can't and won't hand over the burden to my brother alone, he's very tired."

“......”

Chen Baichuan wanted to pour out the emotions he had suppressed for many years, in front of the hoarfrost that might become his family in the future.

Men are often not good at expressing their feelings, and many things have to accumulate in their hearts until they can't bear it before they want to vent it. What he needed at this time was a woman who was willing to listen to him.

Bai Shuang is willing to listen to Chen Baichuan tell his story like a little hairy child, Chen Xiaohairy is not as glamorous as he is in front of people, but it is more real.

"Listen to me, too." Bai Shuang felt that Chen Baichuan didn't want to talk about his own experience.

"I am an orphan and have been a beggar in the imperial capital since I was a child. At that time, I was very pitiful, I couldn't eat, I fell to the ground and shivered in winter, and the most important man in my life appeared at that time," Speaking of this, Bai Shuang also secretly glanced at Chen Baichuan, "Of course, you are my second most important man." ”

"He fed and clothed me, taught me to write, and although he couldn't speak, I thought he was the best father ever."

"Father, he didn't have a wife, let alone a concubine, and when I asked him, he didn't say why, but I think he was afraid that I would be bullied."

"But my father is always very busy, and he is often not at home during the day, and only Xiao Qi dares to play with me among the servants in the house, and everyone else seems to be afraid of my father and dare not talk to me. Obviously, my father is very gentle! ”

When Bai Shuang looked at Chen Baichuan again, he found that he had fallen asleep.

She stretched out her hand and tossed Chen Baichuan's windswept hair aside. Chen Baichuan's breathing was very calm, and he seemed to have a good dream.

Bai Shuang held her chin with her hand, looked at Chen Baichuan's sleeping side face seriously, and then she said to herself:

"You're tired too, aren't you?"
