Wu Sheng never thought that he would meet Yueduo in Suzhou, and he didn't even think that he would be able to see Yueduo again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the troubled times, people are like grass mustard, and ordinary people are even more rootless duckweed, and they can't help themselves in the torrent of the general trend, and Wu Sheng doesn't feel how deeply entangled he has with Yueduo, according to the most reasonable assumption, he is an official in Hexi, and Yueduo lives his life in a remote tribe. The world is too big, everyone has their own days, have their own struggles, it is difficult to get out of the world that limits themselves, no matter whether each other's lives are satisfactory or not, the two sides will no longer have any intersection, even if there is, at most it is just a chance meeting, greetings or no greetings, they will be separated again, sink into their respective lives, start a family or have children, forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and have no concern for each other, even if they occasionally recall, it is just a soft sigh, a little nostalgia.

Wu Sheng didn't think about going to the tribe again, even if he wanted to go, it would be an errand, it could never be because of concern, Yueduo was a Uighur, and the days he lived with him were not long, and he couldn't even talk about sharing hardships, and he was not his Wu Sheng's bosom friend, so there was no reason for him to forget it.

After some hardships and setbacks, Wu Sheng's original heart that was not in the world and was like a blank sheet of paper is no longer so simple, he saw the true face of the world, it is useless to complain about the sky, the survival of the fittest and the survival of the strong, he must accept and adapt to the rules of survival of the world, certain principles and persistence, what should be abandoned should be abandoned, what should be sleek should be smooth, and what should be transformed should be changed, so he accepted the "fate" of not returning to the army, that is because it is undoubtedly much safer to be an official in Hexi and an official in the rear of the army. And he Chenguang valued, his career will be very bright, and when the initial construction of Hexi is completed, Wu Sheng will also have a bright future, these are what he couldn't ask for before, Wu Sheng thinks that he is no worse than anyone else, and now there are nobles in Bole Xiang, he has no reason to waste the years, and he will only be a small person in his life, prosperous Luoyang and splendid Yangzhou, how can he not go? Five-grade officials, fourth-grade officials, and third-grade officials, why can't he think about it?

Correspondingly, Wu Sheng, who has changed his mood, will not pay too much attention to the past, let alone how to worry about a Uighur woman, not to mention that he is still a stupid woman who does not have too many entanglements with himself and cannot bring anything to himself. Even though Yu Niang is very concerned about him now, but in the case of no chance to meet in three or five years, Yu Niang is bound to marry others, teach her husband and children, and forget about him in the rivers and lakes. In the small pharmacy of the big war that year, the little lady who wore armor for him with tears in her eyes would eventually turn into a cloud in the sky and dissipate in his field of vision.

Even if Yu Niang will wait for a while, will read for a while, but for Wu Sheng, he doesn't have to remember Yu Niang, now he is no longer a pawn of the border army, but an official of the imperial court, like a fish in water in officialdom, and has a great future in the future, his wife should not be an illiterate little lady in the pharmacy, should not be a little lady who can only sew clothes and socks and sweep the floor and cook, such a little lady does what the next person does, and he can't teach his son as a husband, and he can't match his eyebrows and Qin Se, his wife should be everyone's lady, Knowledgeable and wise, talented, can help him preside over internal affairs and take care of the mansion in an orderly manner, has skills, can clean up the concubines in a proper manner, has majesty, can make the subordinates do their duty, have vision, can educate his son into an imperial handsome, charming, can mingle with the wives and concubines of his colleagues, has wisdom, can know what he is worrying about when he is tired, has a family background, can let his mother's family and him support each other in the officialdom, so he is destined not to marry Yu Niang, he has jumped over the dragon gate as a carp, is like the Jinshi of the imperial examination high school, who is destined to abandon the infatuated lover of his childhood sweetheart in the countryside.

Wu Sheng is still a Tang man, even if he is a civil official, when the foreign invaders, he can still fight to the death in the city, he still has a warm heart, for the benefit of the official party, for the people to punish the traitor and eliminate evil, but this does not prevent him from leaving the military camp to abandon the jade girl to pursue his ambitions, there are many colors in the world that cannot be distinguished from black and white, there are many people in the world who cannot be judged by good or bad, the world, personal joys and sorrows, who has seen them all?

It's just that when Yueduo hugged Wu Sheng's leg and cried heartbreakingly in front of him, Wu Sheng's heart still seemed to hit something, and at that moment, it was like a snowy mountain melting.

After inquiring about Yueduo's condition, Wu Sheng took her back to her residence, and along the way, Yueduo followed him with her head down like a child. Wu Sheng took the opportunity to think about something, with his current official position, there was no problem in bringing a Uighur by his side, and he was just a servant to keep him, and he was more familiar with Yueduo, and it would be much more convenient to take Yueduo with him in the future and go to the place where the Uighurs lived.

As for the rest...... Anything else?

Although Wu Sheng is accustomed to the life of the army, he does not live in the official residence now, but has found a clean courtyard. The small courtyard is quite shabby, and the furnishings are extremely simple, but Wu Sheng doesn't care about this, there is already an old servant in the house, who is in charge of his diet and daily life. After Yueduo followed him into the door, she couldn't help but look around quietly, her little eyes full of curiosity about the unknown world.

handed Yueduo to the old man and asked him to arrange the other party's room and board, he went to the study by himself, lit the lamp and began to deal with the copywriting. Now that Hexi is in ruins, it is a busy time, and even if he goes home now, Wu Sheng still has a lot to do.

About an hour later, Wu Sheng heard a knock on the door, and it was Yueduo who came in with hot soup. The girl has already washed and changed into new clothes, because Wu Sheng is a Tang person, Yueduo is naturally wearing Tang clothes, but it is men's clothing, and it doesn't fit well.

"Have you eaten?" Wu Sheng asked Yueduo to put the hot soup on the table and stopped the pen in his hand.

Yueduo nodded, and after putting down the tray, she stood at the table, a little overwhelmed.

Wu Sheng got up and walked over, picked up the hot soup and ate a few spoonfuls, "Since you have left the tribe, if you are willing to follow me, you will follow the family in the future, I can't say anything else, but it is no problem to ensure that you are well fed and clothed and not bullied." ”

Yueduo was stunned for a while, and her little face was full of dazedness.

Maybe for a while, she can't accept the change of identity of master and servant, or maybe Wu Sheng's attitude towards her is much worse than she imagined at the moment. She left the tribe and went through hardships, found Suzhou, and endured many hardships, thinking that she hoped to be with the person who had been with her for her life again—yes, no matter what Wu Sheng thought, in her simple and stupid heart, she defined the relationship between the two of them in this way.

And now, no one needs to rely on her anymore, the person who was her slave has become a Tang Dynasty official, a big man with power in his hands, he not only re-controls his own destiny, but also the fate of countless people in Hexi, just like he is now, waving his hand casually, it is enough to make her worry about food and clothing, which Yueduo never expected, in her fantasy, she would rather the two of them still have nothing, guarding a group of lambs that are even thinner than her, grazing in pastures where water and grass are not abundant, When you have nothing to do, you lie on the grass and watch the white clouds scatter in front of you, even if you don't eat well, even if the shabby little tent still leaks in the rainy night.

She doesn't want charity, she shares weal and giving.

"I'm not coming back to live a rich life, I want to find you and take you back......" Yueduo lowered her head, her voice as low as a mosquito and a fly.

Wu Sheng was ridiculous, put down the soup bowl and said with a smile: "I am now an official of the imperial court, how can I go back to the tribe with you?" Do you still think that I am still your slave? ”

Yueduo's head was lowered, her voice was lower, and she pinched the corners of her clothes and said, "I have never treated you as a slave...... Speaking of this, she hesitated for a long time before continuing: "I have always treated you as a ..... Family. ”

The last two words, she raised her head and looked at Wu Sheng, in Chinese.

This time it was Wu Sheng's turn to be stunned. It is undeniable that there is a trace of emotion in his heart, but he also knows that this is not because of other reasons, but Yueduo is too kind, or rather, too stupid, to put it more clearly, but because Yueduo has no relatives and no reason, so he can only rely on Wu Sheng at that time.

Not all of the Shuofang soldiers and civilians who were captured to Hexi were treated in this way, and even if they got along well with the Uighurs in the future, it was essentially impossible for them to get rid of their slave status.

"Then you just stay here, and don't go back to the tribe to suffer." Wu Sheng said, originally he wanted to say that he could also treat her as a family member, but he couldn't say it, after all, the other party was just a Uighur, and she was an illiterate woman, he could really help her change her household registration and make her surname Wu? Wu Sheng felt that this was impossible.

It's not that he didn't think of the days when he fought wolves side by side, not the days when he strengthened the tent on a rainy night, not that he didn't remember that Yueduo always gave him most of the food, and not that he didn't think of the reluctance and concern in her eyes on the day of parting, but so what?

These are all in the past, the past can only be missed at most, and it does not actually help the current life, life does not need too many emotions and feelings, he needs to work hard. Now that he is an official in Hexi, Wu Sheng has too many important things to deal with, too many colleagues to have a good relationship, too many dignitaries and dignitaries to get along with, he has good talents, he can display his ambitions, he has a great future, he needs to fight non-stop, what he cares about has changed, and his energy is limited.

Yes, the world changed him. But once a person enters this world, how can he not be changed? If you don't change, you don't adapt, and if you don't adapt, how can you live better in this world? Materialism is rampant, how many people can keep their hearts? Blooming flowers, how many pure hearts can be left? Above the heart, outside the naked heart, it is difficult to read and eat, how many people are not struggling?

Yue Duo packed up the dishes and spoons, walked out with the tray, and never said a word again, and didn't even react to Wu Sheng's "gift".

Wu Sheng was silent for a moment, then went back to his desk and continued to work on the copywriting.

That night, Wu Sheng had a dream.

Changing into Tang women's clothes, Yueduo has become a gorgeous girl, she reads and reads, strokes the piano and learns to paint, three years into five years of success, less than two decades, has become a well-known talented woman, highly respected in the land of Hexi, Wu Sheng every time at home to meet guests, Yueduo's poetic talent, often make the guests admire, so that his face is very bright.

What's even more rare is that the thin girl in the past has grown up to be a country and a city, and her appearance and figure are all bad, so when Yueduo was twenty years old, Wu Sheng accepted her as a concubine, and the two lived a happy life since then. This incident has also become a good story, and it has played an excellent role as a benchmark for the harmonious coexistence of all the ethnic groups in Hexi.

I woke up from the dream, and the sky was bright.

Busy with official business, Wu Sheng's breakfast has always been simple, and the old man usually sends porridge and cakes to the room and deals with them at will.

After breakfast, Wu Sheng was about to go out, but saw Yueduo sitting at the courtyard gate. Seeing Yueduo, Wu Sheng was stunned, because Yueduo changed into the shabby clothes again, and looked like she was about to go away.

"Wu Lang, I'm leaving...... Go back to the tribe. Yueduo stood up, lowered her head and said, she is always timid, like a child who doesn't know how to face the world.

Wu Sheng was very surprised, Yueduo actually wanted to put aside the food and clothing in front of her, and in the future, she might not want to live a life of fine clothes and food, go back to that remote tribe, and continue to live that kind of hungry life?

"It's decided?" Wu Sheng didn't dissuade, he was a little annoyed in his heart, because Yueduo refused his gift, which was a betrayal of his kindness, as long as anyone thought that his kindness had been let down, he would not have a good face.

"Hmm." Yue Duo nodded, glanced up at Wu Sheng, and quickly lowered it again.

"You wait." Wu Sheng went back to the room for a while, and when he came out again, there were already two more things in his hands, the first thing was a money bag, and the second thing was the ugly black dagger.

Wu Sheng handed two things to Yueduo, "Give you back this dagger, and you can also take these silver coins." ”

Wu Sheng no longer needs the dagger, and it is not suitable to carry it with him, because it looks really bad, and it is a loss of identity. Silver money is Wu Sheng's gift, although Yueduo lived up to his kindness, he still had to give her some money, which would make Wu Sheng feel that he had done his best to be benevolent, and he would not have a burden on his conscience, and he would also feel that he was virtuous, and he thought that his image was tall, which would always make people feel comfortable, because of his sense of superiority.

Yueduo was stunned for a while, her eyes filled with tears, and she reached out to retrieve the black dagger, but did not look at the money bag. Then she turned around and left, without two steps, stopped, turned around, glanced at Wu Sheng deeply, her eyes were sad, but she squeezed out a smile, and then ran away without looking back, towards the distance.

In the distance, far away in the middle of nowhere, there was a thinly populated tribe, and on the edge of that poor tribe there was a small dilapidated tent with large patches on it, which always leaked at night and always leaked on rainy days, and beside the small tent, there was a small sheepfold, in which there were dozens of skinny sheep, always bleating with hunger.

She would go back there, living alone, day after day, spring, summer, autumn and winter. She had a simple black dagger, and it was the only thing she had to rely on to protect herself, her flock, and her tent.

Wu Sheng looked at Yueduo's figure disappearing in front of the door, his face was slightly gloomy, his heart trembled, very clear, but also very short, because he didn't want to think about anything. Handing over the money bag to the elder, Wu Sheng went out and rushed to the official office.

His heart is as hard as gold, and his heart is as hard as iron.

......

Five years later.

In the morning sun, the gate of Liangzhou had just opened, and a cavalry team of nearly 100 people stepped on the bright sunshine that covered the long street, rumbled out of the city, drove onto the newly renovated and widened official road, and headed west.

This cavalry team is freshly dressed and angry, with a clear banner and an unbeatable majesty, and the pedestrians on the official road have to stop on the side of the road to avoid it when they see it from afar. There are two teams of armor soldiers in the team, two teams of errand soldiers, several officials, several scribes, and two people at the head, one wearing a six-rank civil official robe, and the other wearing a five-rank lieutenant armor, all of whom are heroic and extraordinary.

Around noon, the team rested and ate at a post house next to the official road. This post house has been built for only four years, but has been renovated three times, the scale is getting bigger and bigger year by year, and there are more and more business travelers who have stopped in the past.

"I'm going out of the city in a hurry today, what are we going to do?" While resting in the courtyard, a young scribe asked his colleagues.

"Demolition." The Jiupin Recorder said as he drank water.

"Demolition?" The young scribe was slightly stunned, "The demolition needs Wu Sima to come forward in person?" What is the origin of the other party, and he also moved the killing god of Wu Duwei? ”

The recorder put down the water bladder, looked at Sima and Duwei who were talking not far away, and whispered to the scribe: "A small tribe on the other side of the mountain, with only a few hundred people, is unwilling to obey the arrangement, gives up nomadism and moves to the city to settle down, and there is also bloodshed, which alarms the state capital. As for why Wu Sima came forward...... You don't want to think about it, the demolition has always been presided over by Wu Sima, and there has never been a mistake, and now that the order to promote Wu Sima has come down, he will go to Luoyang to take office soon, at such a juncture, if such a thing happens, can he sit still? ”

"I see!" The scribe suddenly realized, and his eyes drifted to the two teams of disciplined armor soldiers, "This time, Wu Sima even invited Wu Duwei, I'm afraid it's very difficult to be good about this matter." ”

"Isn't it! The nomadic Uighurs, accustomed to indulgence and untamable wildness, annoyed Wu Sima this time, if Wu Sima had not talked to them speculatively...... Hmph, Wu Duwei's two teams of armor soldiers are his own soldiers, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, and it really doesn't take much effort to set foot in a small tribe of hundreds of people! "The record is truthful.

The next day, the cavalry came to a tribe somewhere in a remote place.

Looking at the more than 100 tents in the grassland, Wu Duwei, who had always been silent, grinned, and said to Wu Sima beside him teasingly: "This is where you used to be a slave today?" ”

Wu Sima smiled helplessly, "Exactly." ”

"Then what else to talk to them about, just step on the flat." Wu Duwei waved his hand.

Wu Sima shook his head, "No." ”

Wu Duwei said, "Over the years, for the demolition and relocation, you don't know how many lives you have on your hands, when have you ever pitied these people?" ”

Wu Sima sighed, "The land of Hexi is no better than the grassland, and if you want to have long-term peace and stability, you have to let the nomads give up their nomadism, collect their soldiers, distribute farm tools, and let them go to farming - the academy has improved the agricultural affairs in Hexi a lot, and the imperial court has taken care of them in paying taxes, and farming is enough for them to be fed and clothed." Relocating them to the city is also convenient for control. This is a major national policy, and there is no need to discuss, and when it encounters villains who are stubborn and resist by force, it is natural to take corresponding measures. But that's only for the first evil, why didn't you ask about the indiscriminate and set foot on the tribe? ”

Wu Duwei pouted, "It's boring." ”

Wu Sima smiled, "Wu Chang deliberately said such words, isn't it just to trick my words?" Where would I be easily fooled. ”

With that, ride forward.

In front of the tribe, there are two groups of people facing each other and arguing, one side is naturally from the tribe, and the other side is the official who came to handle the demolition and relocation.

Before the cavalry approached, officials had already rushed to report the situation to Wu Sima when they heard the news, "These people are stubborn, they refuse to move their nests, we have worn out their mouths, and they are not moved, it is really hateful!" ”

Wu Sima waved his hand, without saying much, and asked Wu Duwei to stay far away with the armor soldiers, while he himself took a few officials to the tribe.

The people of the tribe also noticed Wu Sima, especially Wu Duwei's two teams of armor soldiers, which made their expressions change greatly. The confrontation and unpleasant experiences over the past few days have made them generally realize that the matter has reached a point where it must be resolved, and the difference is only in which way to resolve it.

Wu Sima dismounted, the officials got out of the way, he walked to the crowd and saw some familiar faces, and a woman among them made him slightly stunned.

"Long time no see." He said.

The woman who can afford to be called the pearl of the grassland is also stunned.

"Long time no see." For a long time, she also said.

......

Soon after, the two came to the center of the tribe and entered a tent.

Wu Sheng looked around and smiled, "This is your tent?" It's a world away from the previous one. ”

Yueduo served Wu Sheng steaming milk tea, sat down with him, and smiled lightly: "Time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, how can there be any immutable things." Do you still want me to live in that little tent that leaks wind and rain? ”

"I just paid attention to it, and the little tent was gone." Wu Sheng lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, although it inevitably had a hint of fishy smell, it could be called sweet, and the movements in his hands paused, "Your official words are very good." ”

A pair of bright eyes that could talk fell on Wu Sheng's face, Yueduo's shallow smile was even more beautiful, and the pear vortex was more beautiful, "Hexi has long been the world of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't speak official language, how can he deal with all kinds of people?" ”

She didn't mention the little tent again, as if she wanted to avoid the gloom and filth of the past.

Wu Sheng put down the tea bowl and said curiously: "What all kinds of people are you going to deal with?" ”

Yue Duo gently stroked her sideburns and hair, her eyes that had not been removed were more coquettish, and her voice was sweet and seductive, "For example, with you Wu Sima." ”

"Since we are talking about this stubble, let's talk about it." The beautiful style displayed by Yueduo undoubtedly has thousands of charms, and Wu Sheng had to restrain his mind in order to resist this charm, "What about your chief?" ”

"I am the chief." Yueduo blinked, mysterious and atmospheric.

"You're the chief? How is this possible. Wu Sheng felt that the other party was joking.

"As I said, time has passed, and nothing is set in stone." Yueduo put away her eyebrows and said leisurely.

Wu Sheng was stunned, "What about Babur?" ”

"Dead." Yueduo said lightly.

Wu Sheng fell silent.

He realized that five years later, many things were different. He didn't want to ask how Babur died, and how Yueduo had become a chieftain, at least as a chieftain, but he knew he had made a mistake, a military common-sense mistake, that he didn't fully understand the enemy before the war began.

Yes, the discussion with Yueduo in front of me has turned into a war.

Because she is the chief of this tribe.

Wu Sheng's silence allowed Yueduo to grasp the initiative, and she began to ask: "I haven't seen you for so long, I don't know how you're doing, if nothing else, you should marry a wife and have children?" Who is your wife, the jade lady you mentioned before, right? ”

"It's not." Wu Sheng's heart was a little bitter, he picked up the tea bowl and took another sip of milk tea, but this time he didn't taste anything.

"How could it not be? It's not her, who is that? Moonflower's pearl-like eyes were full of surprise.

"The daughter of the political envoy." Wu Sheng said in a low voice.

"The daughter of the political envoy?" Yueduo opened Yin Tao's small mouth wide, and then even Wan Er, her voice was a little teasing, "That's right, the daughter of the owner of the pharmacy is naturally not as good as the daughter of the political envoy." ”

Wu Sheng didn't want to talk about these issues anymore, he looked at Yueduo, this Yueduo who made him feel unfamiliar, "The tribe must move to the city to settle down, and abandon animal husbandry and farming, this is a major policy of the imperial court, and it is not negotiable." If you have any requirements, you can come and hear them. ”

"What if we don't move?" Yueduo looked at Wu Sheng with a smile, with words in her smile and spring in her eyebrows.

Wu Sheng said: "You should know. ”

Yue Duo giggled, her chest trembled lightly with laughter, and she covered her mouth and glanced at Wu Sheng: "Yes, I forgot, Wu Sima came with a soldier, if we don't move, the soldier will be killed, right?" ”

As she spoke, she blinked and pretended to be mysterious: "Maybe it's not a killing spree, just kill me, right?" ”

Wu Sheng sank his face, sighed, looked at Yue Duo and said, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to bear to kill you?" ”

"Can you bear it?" Yue Duo leaned over, revealing two snow-white balls on her chest, and looked at Wu Sheng with silky eyes, "If you bear with it, why don't you kill me now, it will save trouble." ”

Wu Sheng turned his head away, his face darkened and he didn't speak.

Yueduo used all four legs, crawled over from the small case like a dog, put one hand on Wu Sheng's shoulder, gently stroked his chest, exhaled like an orchid in Wu Sheng's ear, and his voice was soft as if he was moaning, "I can die in your hands, I have no complaints, no one hurts left and right, and it doesn't mean anything to live......

......

Half a day later.

The cavalry left the Horde.

Behind them, the local officials were already commanding the people in the tribe and began to make preparations for the migration.

Wu Chun looked at Wu Sheng, who was speechless, and asked curiously, "What method did you use to get them to agree to migrate?" ”

Wu Sheng just looked ahead and didn't speak.

Wu Chun said hesitantly: "Could it be that he sold his body?" Then you kid is really a blessing. ”

"Yanfu?" Wu Sheng remembered the scene in the tent, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This girl wants to kill me." ”

"She wants to kill you?" Wu Chun was surprised.

Wu Sheng sighed and said, "Before trying to kill me, the condition she offered was for me to give her a seventh-grade official. ”

"Zhengqipin? This is crazy! Wu Chun's eyes widened, "After the tribe migrated, the chieftain was crowned official, which was a common practice, but when did I have a female official in my Tang local state and county?" Even if the Uighurs are treated with special treatment, it is okay to be the ninth grade, but it is said that the heavens are at most from the eighth grade! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Chun reacted, and looked at Wu Sheng with a strange look, "She won't have any benefits for you before she asks for the seventh grade, right?" ”

"The tribe's wealth can be given to me." Wu Sheng replied.

Wu Chun sneered, "Bribing you with the tribe's money and seeking a personal future, this girl really has a heart." ”

After thinking about it, Wu Chun said again: "No, this small tribe can have a lot of money, even if she has some old feelings with you, she won't open her mouth like this, right?" ”

Wu Sheng sighed, "Isn't it enough to add the things in Wu Chang's imagination?" ”

"This really seduced you." Wu Chun laughed, shook his head and sighed, "According to what you said before, this girl is a kind-hearted and stupid little girl, how did she become like this now?" ”

Wu Sheng was speechless for a while, recalling the previous picture in his mind, his heart ached a little, and when he was finished, he had to sigh: "Time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, nothing is immutable." People are superficial and adapt to the rules of the world, that is, they go with the flow. In the world, how small the individual is, for the sake of food and clothing, for the desire of the heart, what can we do? What is that? You can't be hungry, you can't keep out the cold, you can't bring dignity and vanity, if you lose it, you lose it, what's the matter? ”

Wu Chun shook his head, "You can deceive others with your words, but you can't deceive yourself." Don't think I don't know, you have presided over the demolition in Hexi over the years, and I don't know how many such things you have encountered, what happened to those people who tempted you to bribe you before? You hate them in your heart, and never give them good fruit to eat. But why did she let go of this girl this time, didn't move her a single hair, and agreed to the many conditions proposed by the tribe? ”

"If there are requirements, you can do what you can, and the conditions they put forward in the end are not too excessive." Wu Sheng prevaricated.

Wu Chun snorted coldly, making it clear that he didn't believe it.

Suddenly, Wu Chun was stunned.

He saw Wu Sheng burst into tears.

"What's wrong with you?" The second monk Wu Chunzhang was puzzled.

"Captain Wu, you say, was I wrong before?"

......

Outside the tribe's tent, Yueduo looked at the busy people in the tribe, although her posture was still dignified, and although her face was still smiling, her eyes when she looked at the cavalry outside the tribe were full of amazement and loneliness, and a little ruthless.

Five years ago, she left the tribe alone, after a lot of hardships, with good luck, she found Wu Sheng before starving to death, she thought that she could return to the tribe with Wu Sheng and continue to live a stable life, but Wu Sheng's face changed drastically, so that her illusions were disappointed, she was unwilling to accept Wu Sheng's almsgiving, and because she couldn't adapt to the change in the relationship between master and servant for a while, she couldn't stand Wu Sheng's lofty style, so she returned to the tribe after a lot of hardships.

Yueduo, who returned to the tribe, was in a worse situation than before, because his brother had died in a foreign battle, but the slaves he had been assigned were nowhere to be found, and because the old chief of the tribe died at the hands of Wu Sheng, the people in the tribe were cold-eyed and oppressed, and it became a luxury to eat and dress warmly.

What made her persist was hate.

Hate for Wu Sheng, hate for life itself.

She decided to live well, to live well, and to trample all the bullies under her feet.

When others drove her to graze, she used the black dagger to plunge into the other party's abdomen.

As a result, she was beaten to the point of death, and the already pitiful flock became even smaller.

When she managed to survive the beatings, her sheep starved to death.

When she went to herd, everyone was amazed that she could come back from her injuries, but they didn't forget to keep driving her and bullying her.

This time, her dagger plunged into the brute's lower abdomen again.

Not surprisingly, she was beaten again, and her sheep were once again compensated to the wounded.

She held on again.

As a result, no one dared to drive her away or bully her. No one wants to fight a madman who can't be beaten.

The winter was particularly difficult, and the spring was particularly difficult because she had so few sheep.

Luckily, a caravan passed by, and luckily she was a woman.

She followed the caravan, followed a long distance, and made a deal with the lustful merchant, but after luring the other party into the woods, she stabbed the other party in the lower abdomen with the black dagger, and then robbed the property and absconded back.

Since then, her life has gradually improved, and she has spent two years fed and clothed in that small, dilapidated tent.

One day, she notices that Babur's attitude towards her has changed and he sends her a lot of good things. Once when she was by the river, she suddenly found that the face in the river was so beautiful.

She thought that Babur was coveting her beauty, she guessed half right, and by chance, she overheard Babur, talking with the Tang officials who came to the tribe to do business, so she knew that treating her well was the meaning of the Tang officials.

She thought of Wu Sheng, and thought of the guy with a high-minded face in Suzhou, she felt disgusted, but she didn't refuse anything, because she wanted to live and live better.

Babur, who fell ill by chance, suddenly died, and that was not a fatal disease.

However, Babur was and is now the hardest bully to her.

Later, she mingled with the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally became the actual chief of the tribe.

If it weren't for the change of the Tang officials who managed this area, and the change of people with a very iron head, I am afraid that her tribe would not have been forced to be demolished.

Because the son-in-law of the political envoy, Sima the most promising in Hexi Province, always took care of this tribe in secret, and no one wanted to embarrass this tribe until the last moment.

Yueduo watched the cavalry disappear from view, her eyes were so cold that she almost gritted her teeth and murmured: "Why, why do you want a woman to experience the ugliness of life and learn to be strong alone?" Don't you know that a woman's heart is cold and hard, and it is much more terrible than a man's? Why are you doing this? You think I'm going to thank you for taking care of me all these years? I'm not that stupid girl anymore! I'm ambitious, I'm not satisfied, I always want more! It was you who taught me that people should seek a great future for themselves, it was you who taught me, people should not pay attention to those past feelings, it was you who taught me, people are only really strong when they are strong! ”

She murmured and said, the pear blossoms on the beautiful face of the allure bring rain.

She ran back to the largest tent on the top, rushed to the bed, clutched the quilt and sobbed violently.

She cried alone, and when she had everything, she cried so much that she didn't let go of nothing.

Because she finally understands that power and wealth can't completely fill the gap in her heart after all, and can't really dispel her loneliness.

Her loneliness and loneliness have been dispelled by hatred and ambition, and have been covered by power and vanity, but she still realizes that she can't live on these things all her life, and live on these things without temperature.

What she wants most, what she should want the most, is the favor of the man she likes, and that is the warmest thing in the world.

And this, she can't get.

It was, it is, and it will still be.

......

On the grassy slope, Wu Sheng squatted on the ground, Wu Chun stood beside him, and the cavalry stopped far behind.

"What's wrong?" Wu Chun patted Wu Sheng's shoulder and squatted down beside him.

"Eager for quick success, lust for profit......" Wu Sheng buried his head in his knees.

Wu Chun smiled, "Regret it?" ”

Wu Sheng snorted, "I really regret it." ”

Wu Chun asked, "Why do you regret it?" People always regret when they lose, but you don't lose anything now; People always reflect when they make mistakes, but you are not making mistakes now. ”

Wu Sheng raised his head and looked at the grass in front of him, "When people are frustrated, displaced, and precarious, they will always miss their family members and old people, because for them who have nothing at that time, emotion is the only consolation in his heart, the only consolation left." But when people have achieved a lot of success, gained a little wealth, saw a little future, and touched a little power, they always think very highly of themselves and look down on others, they will feel that the gold and silver wealth and power in their hands are the truly precious and eternal things, the things that can give them dignity and honor, and all the emotions and feelings are all false and not worth mentioning at all -- people are always fickle, and emotions are the most fickle things in people, and if they take emotions too seriously, they are not asking for unhappiness, and they are not stupid? ”

Wu Chun disturbed his head, "In this case, you should be complacent, and the most unfortunate is also high-spirited, what are you regretting?" ”

Wu Sheng muttered, "I don't know. ”

"You don't know?" Wu Chun was even more puzzled.

Wu Sheng buried his head again, "I think I've lost too many things, and these things are precious." ”

Wu Chun shook his head, "I don't understand." ”

Wu Sheng suddenly raised his head again, as if he had figured out something, "Wu Chang, you said, what is the meaning of human life, and what is it for?" ”

Wu Chun opened his mouth and stiffened for a while, "How can I answer your question?" ”

Wu Sheng's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head again.

Wu Chun thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you regret not marrying a jade girl?" ”

"Regret." Wu Shengsheng is like a mosquito and a fly.

"Why? The daughter of the political envoy is not good? Wu Chun asked.

"It's not." Wu Sheng said, "I don't know. ”

Wu Chun raised his head, and wanted to pat Wu Sheng's shoulder to show comfort, but he didn't fall halfway, and sighed: "You're really, fucking entangled." ”

"Why don't you marry Jade Niang?" Wu Sheng suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Chun.

Wu Chun was stunned at first, and then slapped Wu Sheng on the head in annoyance, "If you don't marry, I have to marry?" After that, he smiled, "The problem is that people don't want to marry me." ”

Wu Sheng retracted his gaze, looked into the distance, and was silent for a long time, "When the flowers bloom again, no one is young." ”

......

"No matter how young you are, what should you do?"

"Marry the one who ought to marry, and cherish the one who ought to be cherished."

"It's easy to do!"

......

The quilt was already soaked, and the exhaustion was like twilight, wrapping the moon tightly.

Suddenly, there was a sudden light in the tent, and Yueduo covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the curtain.

Wu Sheng just stood there, panting.

"What are you doing when you come back?" Yueduo was stunned at first, then smiled, and said charmingly: "Don't you regret that you missed the great opportunity, and now you are thinking about me again?" ”

"Come with me." Wu Sheng strode to the bed, grabbed Yueduo's hand, and dragged her up, his movements were fierce and unparalleled, but his eyes and voice were as gentle as water, "I will provide you with three meals a day, so that you can smile often." ”

Yueduo's eyes were glazed, and her mind was blank.

......

Outside the tribe, Wu Chun leaned on the horse, crossed his arms, and looked in the direction of the tribe, "When the flowers are reopened, no one is young anymore, bullshit, what is the meaning of life to talk about, I bah, isn't it just a good future and beautiful flowers, it's all fucking want!" ”

......

The world has the law of both, and it lives up to its promise.
