Caishi Town, West Hill.

Between the originally lush pines and cypresses, there are many more traces of man-made. The graves of the new earth spread along the mountain, and there is no edge in sight!

In the bleak north wind, there are yellow paper money, sparse and unstable. On the surrounding pine trees, a section of white ayara, swaying lightly with the wind, drifting towards the north, is simply heartbreaking!

On the mountainside, Liu Ruyi stood in front of a grave at the front of the mountain, and quietly lit a pillar of incense!

In front of the grave, there are all kinds of sacrificial melons, fruits and poultry, and a few personal soldiers are carefully filling the wine jug with spirits!

The faint smell of incense and candles soon filled the air, like clouds and mist, and the stone tablet in front of the tomb seemed to be reflected in the clouds!

Liu Ruyi stretched out his hand to dispel the smoke, gently stroked the stone tablet that seemed to be some years old, and followed the handwriting on it, little by little, and hung down until ,—— knelt down in front of the stone tablet.

"Brother Canghai, Brother Three Tigers, all fathers and brothers, Ruyi hasn't come to see you for a long time! Today, we must have a drink! Liu Ruyi said, slowly spilling the wine jug handed over by the soldiers in front of the grave, but tears couldn't stop pouring out of his eyes.

Since the ninth year of Chongzhen, Liu Ruyi came to Caishi Town to establish a family business, and in the past five years, more than 6,000 soldiers have fallen on the battlefield of conquest everywhere!

Among them, there are many people, Liu Ruyi can clearly call their names, and the familiar faces seem to be just yesterday, by Liu Ruyi's side!

But now, many of them, and even their bones have not been preserved, so they have been drowned in the loess of the four places of the Ming Dynasty!

Here, it's nothing more than their mound of clothes!

There are many people, they come from the four places of Daming, at the beginning, just to be able to have a full meal, they joined the Caishi Army without hesitation, and with their blood, laid the cornerstone of Liu Ruyi's career!

But many of them are lonely and helpless, and many young soldiers, they have not had time to start a family, have not had time to taste the taste of women, and have not left a trace of incense, so they fell on the battlefield in the four places of the Ming Dynasty!

"Grandpa Guo!" The soldier handed over another jug of spirits.

Liu Ruyi didn't look at it, tilted his neck, and drank it in one gulp!

The spicy taste of alcohol swirled in the abdominal cavity, and Liu Ruyi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief!

"Brethren, life is too short, and I salute you for this first cup of wine! It is you who have used your lives to pile up my Liu Ruyi today! ”

The soldiers hurriedly handed over a second pot of wine.

Liu Ruyi drank it in one gulp, "This second cup of wine, I still respect you!" It was you who exchanged your lives for the prosperity of our Caishi Town today! Let our fathers, villagers, wives and children live and work in peace and contentment on this land! ”

"This third glass of wine ......"

~~~~~

"Mother, Daddy, what is Daddy doing?" On the side, Xin'er raised her little head, vigorously drilled out of her mother's arms, and looked at her father talking to herself with some surprise.

"Shhhhh......h Xin'er must not be naughty, otherwise, her father and uncles will be unhappy! ”

Xin'er broke free of her mother's finger with some dissatisfaction, "Mother, but, but I only saw my father, and I didn't see many uncles and uncles!" They, where are they? ”

Chun Yunu was a little speechless, and was thinking about how to explain, but saw that Liu Ruyi had already turned around!

"Xin'er, be good! Come, Daddy Hug! Liu Ruyi smiled and stretched out her hand to her daughter.

Chun Yunu was a little panicked, but she didn't dare to disobey Liu Ruyi's will, so she had to hand over Xin'er to Liu Ruyi.

At this time, Yi'er on the side also opened her little hand and said, "Daddy, I want to hug too!" I'm going to hug too! ”

Liu Ruyi smiled and nodded to Yi'er, "Come, Yi'er is also well-behaved, come to Daddy's arms." ”

Qing'er was also a little overwhelmed, but instinctively handed Yi'er into Liu Ruyi's arms!

Liu Ruyi hugged her two baby daughters, returned to the grave, and put Xin'er and Yi'er on the ground, "Xin'er, Yi'er, do you remember how your mother taught you!" Come, good boys, kowtow to your uncles and uncles! Let them know that my two little princesses have come to see them today! ”

Although Xin'er and Yi'er are small, Liu Ruyi's Guogong Mansion has strict rules on weekdays, they have just been able to speak, and they don't understand what this is for, but when their father spoke, they still obediently kowtowed in front of the grave.

Liu Ruyi hugged the two baby daughters in her arms hard, but the tears couldn't stop dripping down!

"Brethren! See? Xin'er and Yi'er have also come to see you! I, Liu Ruyi, swear here! Your efforts will not be in vain! I, Liu Ruyi, will lay a great fortune for all the brothers, for your family, and for your wives and children! ”

"Daddy, daddy, for what, for what, for what I kowtowed to my sister and I, but no one gave us kowtow money?" At this time, Yi'er tilted her little head and looked at Liu Ruyi and said.

Liu Ruyi couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "Yi'er, who told you that there will be kowtow money if you kowtow?" ”

"It's Grandma! Every time, my sister and I kowtow to my grandmother, and my grandmother will kowtow to me and my sister for money! It will also give us a lot of delicious snacks! Yi'er stretched out her arms vigorously, describing 'a lot' of huge!

Xin'er also said: "Daddy, for what, for what, for what I can't see the uncles and uncles that my mother said?" ”

Looking at the surprised eyes of the two baby daughters, Liu Ruyi's heart swelled with a warm current, "Hehe! Kowtow, there is not necessarily kowtow money! Yi'er, but some heads, but they have to knock! Do you know what this is for? ”

Xin'er and Yi'er both shook their heads in confusion.

Liu Ruyi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Because, you are my Liu Ruyi's daughter!" And, these uncles and uncles in front of you, they are my Liu Ruyi's brothers! You have to remember that it was they who exchanged their lives for our lives today, understand? ”

Xin'er and Yi'er were a little dazed.

On the side, Xiao Zixin was a little unhappy, "Ruyi, Xin'er and Yi'er are still young, you, don't scare them!" ”

Liu Ruyi shook his head, "They are destined to be noble!" However, there is also a price to pay! Xin'er is my eldest daughter, Yi'er is my second daughter, they are all my Liu Ruyi's sweethearts! But these brothers in front of me are all my Liu Ruyi's siblings! Xin'er and Yi'er, kowtow to them, this is also a matter of course! ”

Today, it is Liu Ruyi who led his relatives to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Caishi Army, Xiao Zixin, Zhu Qingxu, Chun Yunu, Qing'er, Dong Xiaowan, these female dependents, all of them!

Hai Lanzhu, who was the only absent, was unable to attend because she was pregnant.

Liu Ruyi turned his head and glanced at the female dependents, "Zixin, you are the eldest sister, today, I have something to tell you!" Listen carefully! From today onwards, every year in the future, during the Qingming Festival, all my Liu Ruyi's sons and daughters will come here to offer a pillar of fragrance to my brothers! You are no exception! Got it? ”

The women around him couldn't help but nod.

And Liu Ruyi's entourage beside him fell to his knees, and many people shed tears, "Grandpa Guo is benevolent, we wait, we are willing to swear to follow Grandpa Guo, and I will never give up!" ”

"I am willing to follow the grandfather of the country to the death, and I will never give up!"

Liu Ruyi waved his hand, picked up the steel knife, and carved three words on the ground, "In the future, this place will be called the Martyrs' Shrine!" Fauber, I'll leave the project here to you! - also includes, the place where my Liu Ruyi is buried!! ”

"Huh?" Fu Bo was stunned, but he knelt down and said, "Yes!" ”

**************************************************************

In the study, a faint incense was lit, and the clouds were shrouded, Liu Ruyi leaned quietly on the soft couch, not moving!

Today's worship of the Martyrs' Shrine, for Liu Ruyi, although there are some elements of show, but more is the expression of Liu Ruyi's most true feelings in his heart!

'One will make all bones dry!' ’

If you want to achieve great things, bloodshed and sacrifice are destined to be inevitable!

But, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

There are some things, even if they are Liu Ruyi, it is impossible to put them down easily!

Yuan Hao asked: "What is the situation in the world?" Straight Christians promise life and death! ”

There are some choices that can be made after careful consideration, but when you really have to face them, you can't let them go easily!

With Wang Chengen's help, Liu Ruyi's dispatch to the Central Plains is already a foregone conclusion!

But in fact, Liu Ruyi's preparation was not very sufficient!

'Fighting to feed war' is no longer avoidable!

Say, 'In war, there is always death!' ’

But even Liu Ruyi can't ignore it, the brothers under his command, one by one, the lives of each other quietly disappeared into their own selfish desires!

In later generations, Rowan once sang in that classic old song: "I will go my way without regrets!" There is no end of the world! People are in the rivers and lakes, but they are chic everywhere, because I don't care~~~~! ”

Although the song is chic, in this world, how many people can really do it?

Taking a deep breath, Liu Ruyi suddenly smiled and shook his head!

When did you become so emotional? ’

It's just that, 'ruthlessness is not necessarily a true hero!' ’

Many times, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves~~!
