Chapter 188: Green Flowers in the Army
The snow had stopped for a few days, but now it was still snow all over the mountains, and they had been riding north for days, but the snow between heaven and earth seemed to have no end, and they could never get out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They all now hated the whiteness of the ground, which not only had caused them inconvenience, but also that several horses had fallen and injured themselves because of the slippery snow.
The north wind left a cut in their bodies like a sharp knife, leaving them in agony.
At this time, they were resting in a mountain col, some were nibbling on the ice and snow on the ground, some were closing their eyes to recuperate, and some were talking about boring household routines.
Li Yan was vigilantly observing from a distance, they had already entered the area occupied by the Huns, and he couldn't be careless, seeing his brothers tired like this, he couldn't help but drag his tired body to stand guard in person.
Suddenly, a soldier's deep singing voice sounded in his ears, the singing voice was majestic and magnetic, and what attracted Li Yan was not the sad and beautiful singing, but the simple and easy-to-understand lyrics and melody.
This is a song that Li Yan is familiar with and can't be more familiar.
The cold wind flutters and the leaves fall, and the army is a green flower;
Dear comrades-in-arms, don't miss home, don't miss your father.
I call day and night, how many words from the heart;
Don't tear up your eyes when parting, the barracks are our warm home.
Don't worry about it, Daddy, I've grown up, child;
Killing the enemy on the battlefield is to defend the country, and the horse leather shroud is not afraid.
I sincerely wish my father and mother, and wish my father and mother a long and healthy life;
Wait until the celebration time to go home, and then come to visit my good father.
Wait until the celebration time to go home, and then come to visit my good father.

Li Yan didn't expect to hear this song here, where did he hear it, how could he sing this song? Could it be that he is from Pengcheng? Or have you been to Pengcheng or Lianxianglou?
"Yangtian, you look carefully here, I'll come when I go!"
"No!"
Li Yan followed the singing and came to a young man about his age, who was still singing, surrounded by people, all listening carefully, extremely fascinated.
The young man had a sunny smile, and there was a determination to protect his family and defend the country in his singing, but he could be heard from the singing that he was a little homesick.
When his last note was over, Li Yan walked over.
When everyone saw that the chief was coming, they all stood up and made way for him.
The young man also hurriedly stood up.
Li Yan patted him on the shoulder and beckoned him to do it together.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Bai Chang, everyone calls me Xiaobai!"
It seems that this young man named Bai Chang is very cheerful, and he is not restrained when he sees Li Yan.
"You just sang a beautiful song, where did you learn it?"
"Haven't you heard of it? This song has gone crazy in Xianyang, and I heard that the emperor likes it very much! ”
"Xianyang ......"
Li Yan showed a confused look, this is the green flower in the army that he has slightly modified the lyrics with his own hands, only Shi Niang knows, how could it be transmitted to Xianyang?
"Yes, the tun chief has never been to Xianyang, he has been staying in the barracks for the past two years, last year Xianyang opened a new Lianxiang Building, where the singers sing are different from other places, the songs they sing are very simple lyrics and melodies, people can understand it as soon as they hear it, and it is also very good, Xianyang's sons and brothers like to go there, we are all selected by General Meng Tian from the Xianyang military camp, and many of us can sing!"
It turned out that Xianyang also had a mercy building, and Zhou Yang really lived up to his expectations. I heard that he was going to serve in the military, so I went to Xianyang to come to a branch, and it seems that the business is quite prosperous.
I hope I don't let him down in the future.
"It's so good in this song! Killing the enemy on the battlefield is to protect the family and defend the country, and the horse leather shroud is not afraid. I hope that each of us, as the song says, will not be afraid of sacrifice and make contributions to our country and ourselves! ”
Li Yan stood up, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Now that we have entered the sphere of influence of the Huns, we must be careful and careful in our next actions, not that we are afraid of death, but that our lives are too important for our families."
All the sergeants also stood up one after another, and became earnest.
"Let's rest for a while as soon as possible, and we'll leave in two quarters of an hour!"
…………
This is a small mountain village, the village is very beautiful, there are a few plum blossoms behind the village, and a few touches of red add a bit of warmth to this snow-white world.
A small river took a turn from the back of the village and crossed the middle of the village, as if to tie a belt around the village.
The creek has frozen and is covered with a thick layer of snow.
Li Yan and Yang Tian rode horses and stood on a hill, looking up at this small mountain village with only a few dozen households.
"What a beautiful village!"
Li Yan turned his head to look at Xiang Yangtian a little weirdly, he didn't expect such a rough man to understand beauty, just looking at his yearning look, how could he see how it was a little incongruous, and couldn't help but tease: "I didn't expect you to know how to appreciate beauty?" ”
Yang Tian grinned, scratched his head, and said, "Where do I know what beauty is, it's just a little homesick!" ”
Li Yan was silent and said categorically: "One day, I will let you go home beautifully!" ”
He pointed to the village in the distance and asked, "If you look closely, don't you feel that this place is any different from other villages?" ”
Yang Tian looked fixedly, rubbed his eyes again, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's no different!" ”
"Look again, isn't this village too quiet?"
"It's a little quiet, maybe it's just snowing outside, and it's all at home!"
"Don't you feel the smell of blood in the air?"
Yang Angel sniffed vigorously and shook his head innocently.
"Didn't smell it!"
"Anyway, let's go check it out!"
As he spoke, he turned to a sergeant behind him and ordered, "Give the order to go down, hide on the spot, and wait for me to come back!" ”
"No!"
The sergeant agreed, and turned his horse's head.
Li Yan galloped down the hill first, followed by Yangtian.
The closer they got to the village, the more strange they felt.
"There's something really wrong with this village!"
Yang Tian also gradually discovered the abnormality of this small mountain village, and as the distance got closer, he also smelled a trace of blood in the air, and there were chaotic horseshoe prints in the snow, and there were even blood stains in some places.
Li Yantie blushed and did not answer Yangtian's words.
It didn't take long for them to reach the village, which was a hellish scene, and formed an extremely strong visual contrast with the beauty they had just seen on the distant hills, which made the eyes of a rough man like Yang Tian moisten.
In the narrow street of the village, there were several corpses, and at the door of a house there was a woman holding a seven or eight-year-old child, the child's head rolled down not far away, the woman was disheveled, and the blinding white on her chest was whiter than the snow between heaven and earth, but there was a heart-wrenching red next to this white, and even the snow beside them became red.
