At this time, it was already raining and the sky was clear, the sunset set the green mountains after the rain was extraordinarily enchanting, Yingying supported Lu Da, the two of them walked on the muddy mountain path step by step and slid forward with difficulty, walked for about an hour, there was a small village of more than a dozen families in front, and the smoke of each family had been wafting up, giving people a vigorous vitality.

The two came to the head of the village, and saw a tavern with only two thatched huts floating in the guise of wine, so they walked into the open door of the store, only to see three simple tables, and a few long stools were placed next to the table. Ying Ying blushed and lowered her head and sat there.

Lu Da glared at those people, and shouted in a rough voice: "Shopkeeper, serve food." ”

An old man with an apron ran out of the stove room inside and said, "Guest officer, what do you use?" ”

Lu Dadao: "Let's have some beef and pastry in sauce." ”

The old man said: "I'm sorry officer, there is no beef in the shop, only the pig that has just been killed today." ”

Lu Dadao: "Then bring me two elbows, a plate of fried lean meat, two plates of green vegetables and five dough cakes, and a pot of old wine." ”

After a while, the wine and food were served, and the store also gave two wine glasses, Lu Da picked up the wine jug and filled the two glasses with wine, and said to Ouyang Yingying: "The girl has a glass of wine and the pressure is amazing." ”

Miss Yingying timidly excused herself and said, "Brother Lu, thank you, I won't drink." ”

Lu Da said: "Yes, I forgot, the girl's family should not drink." Then I'll drink it myself. As he spoke, he shouted, "The shopkeeper has a big bowl." ”

The big bowl was brought, Lu Da poured the big bowl full of wine, took it up and drank it all, put down the big bowl, grabbed a pig's elbow with both hands, and bit it, and after a while, one elbow gnawed until only the bone remained. Seeing Lu Da's eating appearance, Ying Ying couldn't help but laugh, Lu Da only then remembered that his eating appearance just now was really not enough, so he said embarrassedly: "Let the girl laugh, I'm really hungry." I haven't eaten all day today. ”

Ying Ying said: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't laugh at you, big brother, eat quickly, I heard the old people say that heroes are big-bellied." ”

Lu Da said: "I am the hero of that group. As he spoke, he poured another bowl of wine, and after drinking it all as before, he grabbed his other elbow and gnawed it again. While gnawing, he said, "Girl, you eat vegetables." ”

Ying Ying picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of green vegetables and put them into the chopsticks

Lu Da asked, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

The girl whispered, "I can't eat it." ”

Lu Da knew in his heart that the girl was thinking about her relatives, so he didn't say anything more, but ate all the food on the table like a cloud.

Lu Da took out the money for the meal that he had finished with the old man and asked, "Old man, is there an inn in this village?" ”

The old man said: "There are some inns in this small village, but the people who pass by generally go to the south of the village to stay at the other house of the Shang Dayuan, which is a big family that accumulates virtue and does good." From here, go all the way south and see a vermilion lacquer gate. ”

Lu Da thanked the old man, and then went to the south of the village with Yingying, and after walking not far away, he saw a large courtyard built with mud, and a vermilion lacquer gate was open to the east, and a villager stood there guarding.

Lu Da walked forward and bowed his hand and said: "This big brother, we are passing by, we missed the trip every night, and we want to spend the night here, please inform the owner." ”

Zhuang Ke said, "Okay, you two wait. ”

After a while, a crane-haired and child-faced old man with a cane of antlers staggered over. Zhuang Ke pointed to Lu Da and Ouyang Yingying and said, "Taigong, these two are going to spend the night." This is our owner Ma Lao Yuan"

Lu Da and Ying Ying hurriedly saluted: "Disturb your old man." ”

Old man Ma twisted his beard and said, "Don't talk about disturbing, no one can rush with the house on their backs." Come in, both of you. ”

When he came to the hall, the old man greeted the two of them to sit down and asked, "Where are you two from, and what are you called?" ”

Lu Da replied, "I'm from Luzhou Mansion. ”

Mr. Ma said, "Aren't you with this girl?" ”

Lu Da said: "The old man really doesn't hide it, I have known this girl for a short time. ”

Mr. Ma felt a little strange and asked, "What the hell is going on, what is the relationship between the two of you." ”

At this time, Ying Ying walked forward and said a thousand blessings to the old man Ma and said, "Old man, this eldest brother is my savior. Then he recounted how he was saved.

After hearing this, Mr. Ma not only gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Young man, good job, good job." ”

Lu Da was a little embarrassed to be praised, rubbed his hands together and said, "It's nothing." It's really nothing. ”

After asking the names of the two of them, Mr. Ma said to Lu Da, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Lu Da didn't think about it and said, "I'm going to join the army." ”

Mr. Ma laughed when he heard this: "Okay, ambitious." But you can't take Miss Yingying with you to join the army. ”

Lu was embarrassed and said: "This ......"

Ying Ying said: "Big brother, I will follow you there, if you go to join the army, I will follow you to the border." ”

Lu Da said: "How can this work? ”

Old Man Ma said: "Girl, I don't think you should be embarrassed by your big brother Lu, it just so happens that I only have a daughter who is about the same age as you, how about you stay and be a companion with her." ”

Ying Ying looked at Lu Da and wanted him to make a statement, but Lu Da turned his head to the side.

Mr. Ma said, "Girl, don't be embarrassed for him." ”

Ying Ying had no choice but to say aggrievedly: "Okay then." ”

Mr. Ma said happily: "This is the good boy I heard about." ”

Then he instructed Zhuang Ke: "You go and invite Mrs. and Miss here." ”

After a while, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came to the hall with an old lady in her arms. Ma Lao is an old woman, so he has always regarded his only daughter as the pearl of his palm, so he named him Ru'er.

Mr. Ma said to the old lady and her daughter, "Come on, come on, get to know these two young people." Then he introduced the origin and names of Lu Da and Yingying. Lu Da and Ying Ying gave the old lady a face-to-face look. Ru'er clapped her hands happily and said, "It's good now, I have a partner." ”

Ma Lao said: "Oh, you are not educated, what kind of partner, you have to call Yingying sister." ”

Ru'er stuck out her tongue and grimaced, "Yes, Daddy." As he spoke, he took Yingying's hand, and the elder sister and sister had a short affection.

Seeing this, the old lady said happily: "Ru'er hasn't been so happy for a long time, I think it's better to accept this girl as a daughter, first, Ru'er also has a companion, and secondly, it is convenient to go in and out." ”

Ma Laowai said approvingly: "Okay, I just don't know if the girl is willing or not." ”

Ying Ying heard it on the side and said, "I do." After speaking, he knelt in front of the two elders and bowed: "My daughter has kowtowed to her father." ”

The old lady smiled and stretched out her hand to pull Yingying and said, "Get up, this will be your home in the future." ”

Ying Ying stood up and said to Lu Da excitedly in tears: "Big brother, I have a home again." ”

Lu Da smiled honestly: "It's okay now, I'm relieved, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

Mr. Ma shouted loudly outside: "Go and tell the kitchen, fry a few good dishes, and our house will be lively tonight." ”

Lu Da said: "Old man, we just finished eating at the hotel at the head of the village. ”

Mr. Ma said: "What you just had was dinner, and now we are going to hold a family banquet, first, to celebrate that there is a daughter in the family, and secondly, to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." Don't say anything, sit down, let's have a drink in a while, and talk about your killing of the Xixia people. ”

The meal was drunk until midnight.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lu Da said goodbye to Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Ma, and Ru'er, and said to Ouyang Yingying, who was standing sobbing: "Yingying, you can stay here with peace of mind, and I will write to you when I settle down at the border pass." ”

Ying Ying wiped her tears and said, "Big brother, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Seeing Yingying like this, Lu Da also felt sour and uncomfortable in his heart, but he still held back his tears and said with red eyes: "I know." ”

Emotions are very strange, although the two have only known each other for more than a day, but they seem to have known each other for a long time, and when they broke up, they felt that they had a different kind of feelings in their hearts, and they had grown quietly unconsciously. Ying Ying walked forward, she couldn't care about being shy, and stuffed a sachet in her hand into Lu Da's hand and said: "Big brother, this is something I carry with me, you take it, it should be a thought, your life-saving grace, Ying Ying is unforgettable." Please bow down to me again. ”

Lu Da hurriedly helped her up and said, "Don't say goodbye, Yingying, I'm leaving, take care of yourself." With that, he gave a heavy salute to the outside of the horse, turned around and strode away.

Lu Da left silently.

He didn't say anything more. Ying Ying watched him walk away, looking at his majestic and solid back.

She wanted him to look back at her again, but she was afraid that he would turn back.

If he turned back, she might follow him to the end of the world in desperation.

He didn't look back, really didn't look back.

Without hesitation, he walked in one direction.

No one knew that his tears flowed silently at this time.

Youthful love,

Strong men have tears.

This is the tears of a strong man
