Chapter Seventy-Five: Please

(a)

I'll stand in your simple barracks.

I'm facing you.

We are very close to each other. Your eyes are very close to mine. You look at me.

You say, "Qin'er, you're amazing today!" It's amazing! You made the whole barracks boil. You have shown the whole army the courage, sacrifice and determination of a girl. In the future, when they doubt and waver, they will remember this moment, and the figure of you galloping and hitting the lantern will emerge and inspire them from the bottom of their hearts. She really deserves to be Uncle Chen's daughter! If your mother could see you today, she would be proud to have given birth to such a daughter!"

I said, "If you don't bring me into this world, all of this will never happen." ”

I said, "All of this is happening because of you." ”

I said, "In this world, only you will bring me to such a place, and only you can let me see such a world, open this door, and let such things happen to me." ”

You say, "Qin'er, this army, you got it." It is a very sharp knife, and in the future, use it well. ”

I said, "There is no sharper knife in the world than my brother." With my brother here, I don't need any knives. ”

You say, "You're going to need it." As long as it is flesh and blood, no one can be there forever. ”

(b)

You take out the bag with 500 pearls of the night, and you say, "I know your intentions, but, Qin'er, this gift is too valuable." It's all yours. How can we, take all of yours? ”

I said, "You know, these pearls are not what I want, the only thing I want is the end of the war, that is, everyone can live in a peaceful world." ”

Say, "How can we thank you?" ”

I said, "No." It's me who should say thank you. Thank you, thank you. I'm a woman, I can't even pull a longbow, and there are so few things I can do for this world. Without your blood and sweat, even if I am willing to sacrifice these 500 night pearls, I will not be able to buy the arrival of peace. It is your courageous efforts that have made these treasures truly exert their value and make them the well-being and happiness of the world. It's really the best of the best. ”

You are moved: "Qin'er ......."

I look at your touched expression. A deep tenderness wells up in my heart for you.

I shook my head at you, and I said, "Don't say any more thanks." The medicine prescribed by Dr. Sun, they have all boiled it and put it on the table to cool for a while, you have to take the medicine on time. ”

I picked up the medicine jar on the table, carefully sifted the decoction to remove the residue, poured it into a bowl, and gave it to you. The hot air of the decoction wafted between us.

You look at me and say, "Okay, I'll drink it." Every day I drink on time. You can rest assured. ”

You raise your head and drink the medicine. I picked up the jade gourd that was on the table again. I said, "And this." ”

You nodded and took the pill as well.

You put down the bowl. You look at me. There's something very special in your eyes. My heart is beating at you.

You say, "Qin'er, every time you pour me medicine, there is no residue at all." It's so attentive. Being managed like this by you, I feel so warm in my heart. ”

I bowed my head.

You say, "I wish I could have someone who would control me like this all my life." ”

(c)

My face was red all the way to the base of my ears. I turned my head and looked at the barracks where you lived.

This room couldn't be more simple. There was only a bed, a brass basin stand, a blade stand, and a place to hang armor and clothes, and a simple table with a place for a simple wicker box next to the table. That's all. Do you have such a hard mission every day in such a humble room?

I walked over to your bed, touched the futon on the bed, and tried the board.

I sighed deeply in my heart. His expression darkened.

You come to me. Say, "As a soldier's dwelling, my dwelling should be like." There should be no special enjoyment. You say, "Uncle Chen has always been like this when he was in the army." ”

I said, "Now that you have military funds, can't you make the soldiers' quarters a little more comfortable?" ”

You shake your head and say, "The army is not a place of happiness. The extravagance and lasciviousness of the city and the Huaizhou Mansion could never be transmitted to the army. If the army is too comfortable in peacetime, it will not be able to endure hardships on the battlefield, it will not have the heart to die, and it will be afraid of hardships and adventures. ”

You say: "Soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives anytime and anywhere, how can they not even give up comfortable beds and bedding?" In order to sacrifice life and forget death without hesitation at critical moments, soldiers must be accustomed to enduring hardships in peacetime, to endure what others cannot endure, and to give up what others cannot give up. ”

I bowed my head and said, "I understand." ”

You say, "And all this needs to start with the officers themselves." ”

I'm looking at you. I said, "I understand it all." However, my heart still hurts. ”

When you hear this, your heart stirs again. You took my hand.

You say, "Jean ......."

We look at each other affectionately and forget everything around us.

Outside the barracks, Wu Shun came over with a few soldiers carrying a steaming meal. From a distance, he saw Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao standing seven or eight feet away from your barracks, chatting quietly.

Wu Shun said strangely: "Didn't he ask you to come to dinner together?" ”

Fu Tianliang said: "Yes." ”

Wu Shun said: "Then why are you standing here and not going in." ”

Zhang Bao smiled: "I can't get in." ”

Fu Tianliang smiled: "Go and see for yourself." ”

Wu Shun walked to your barracks. After a while, he turned back again. "They don't feel the time at all right now," he said. If we had been standing outside, we would probably not have had lunch until dark. ”

Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao looked at Wu Shun. Fu Tianliang asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Wu Shun rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, pinched it and said, "If you beg me, I will risk my death to make a mistake." ”

Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao looked at each other, hugged their fists to Wu Shun with a smile, and said in unison: "Please!" ”

"It's time to eat!" Wu Shun shouted and passed in. With the voice, Wu Shun took the soldiers who delivered the food, pushed open the barracks door, and broke in in one step. followed by Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao.

I was taken aback, quickly withdrew my hand from your grasp, and blushed a little away from you.

You also take a step back, your face flushing a little. You look at them and say, "You are here." ”

Fu Tianliang has always been steady, just smiled and nodded. Zhang Bao smiled: "Actually, I came early." ”

You look at the ground, but you don't make a sound. My face was crimson.

Wu Shun walked over, slammed the ground, and placed the food in a sea bowl the size of a copper basin on the table in front of me. He said heroically, "Miss, this is yours." ”

I looked at the bowl, the bowl and the full amount of food, and I couldn't help but say, "Oh my God." ”

You glanced at Wu Shun and said with a smile: "You also believe his words." Junko amuses you. This is shared by everyone. ”

You officially introduced Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao to me. We greet each other.

Everyone sat down. The soldiers brought in tables and cushions, and served their meals, and poured a glass of sake on each seat.

You sit on the Lord's seat in the front, and I sit next to you.

You say, "Everybody's worked hard. Today is my personal treat, thank you. The food in the army is simple, and it is not advisable to drink too much, so we should drink less, and everyone will have enough to eat. ”

Everyone toasts you and me. We raise a glass in return.

You motionfor the soldier to pour another drink. And the cups before them were filled again.

You raised your full wine glass, stood up, and said, "Actually, today I brought Qin'er to the barracks, and invited you to eat with her, so that she could get to know you, because I had a request, and I want to ask you. ”

You say, "Everyone is in the army, and we all know that the battlefield is dangerous, the sword has no eyes, the battle situation is complex and changeable, and the situation is unpredictable. Although we do not need to participate in the war now, sooner or later we will be involved in the war in the future. In the unlikely event that my father and I are in a situation after the start of the war and we can't take care of Qin'er, and she is in danger, I here, especially ask you, please think of her, take care of her, and protect her in the midst of all the busy military affairs and the chaos and turmoil. ”

You said: "Qin'er is the only blood and blood left by General Chen in this world, and at all times, our New Han Army must take the protection of her as our unshirkable mission." We want General Chen to be able to look underground. The battle is chaotic, and I can't predict what the future holds. Today, I solemnly agree with you on this matter. I hope that everyone can understand the morality of it, keep it in mind, and live up to my trust today. ”

You raise your glass and say, "I give you a glass for this trust." I'll do it first for respect. "You tilt your head and drink the wine from your glass.

I looked at you and was so moved that I couldn't speak.

Fu Tianliang, Zhang Bao, and Wu Shun also stood up with cups and paid tribute to you.

Fu Tianliang said: "We all remember what the commander entrusted today. Miss, please rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, the new Han Army will always be your home, your brother, and your dependence. ”

Zhang Bao echoed: "Yes." Commander、Miss, please rest assured. All of us will take good care of Miss as if we were our own sisters, and we will never abandon her in terror and helplessness in times of crisis. ”

Wu Shun said: "No matter what happens, Junko will swear to protect Miss's safety to the death." ”

You clasp your fists and salute everyone, saying, "Thank you!" I'll have another toast, for Qin'er's father, thank you! ”

With tears of gratitude, I stood up and followed you, respectfully thanking everyone for a drink.

That's it, on the day I first entered the barracks, you entrusted me to the Xinhan army.

You think about things, you always think about things like this, and you plan for the long term. Before the war was officially involved in you, you thought about what it would happen after it began. Even after you died, all kinds of important things were thought about and arranged in advance.

As it turns out, you're always right when you're so far-sighted.
