It was a young man of about twenty years of age, with a pale complexion, a handsome left face, a hideous and ugly scar on the right side of his face, and an eyepatch over his right eye.

He Qi stood still, looking at the young man.

The young man obviously didn't expect to see He Qi so early, and the moment they looked at each other, the two of them were in the same complicated mood.

This young man is He Yuan, who has been seriously injured in the back.

I don't know how long it took before He Qi opened his mouth to break the silence: "Second brother! ”

The simple two words came into his ears, and He Yuan's whole body shook slightly. Today, He Qi is still willing to call him a second brother. This kind of open-mindedness, he can't ask himself.

He Yu squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Third brother!" ”

Then, there was another silent silence.

After a while, He Qi opened his mouth again to speak: "Second brother, don't you invite me into the camp tent to sit down?" ”

He Yuan settled his mind and let go. He Qi was not polite, lifted the curtain and entered the camp. With a sweep of his eyes, he saw the small tent in his eyes.

In addition to a narrow couch, there is only a table and two chairs, and there is a box for clothes. It couldn't be more apt to describe it in two words.

The second son of the Pingguo Mansion, who was proud of the spring breeze in the past, is now the same as an ordinary soldier in the barracks. The only special treatment is that a person can live alone in the camp tent of the wounded soldiers, which is quite clean.

He Qi sat down with a calm expression, picked up the teapot casually, and poured himself a glass of water. The water was lukewarm, and there wasn't even a single tea foam in it.

He Qi didn't care, took a sip and said, "Second brother used to like to drink tea the most, where is the white water used to drink." Later, I'll have someone bring some tea. ”

The invisible shackles that tightly bound He Yuan suddenly dispersed.

He Yuan sat down on another chair and happened to be face to face with He Qi: "No need. Over the past year, I've gotten used to it. In the barracks, it's good to be able to eat and drink hot water. Where do I still have those stinky problems in the past! ”

He stayed in the scout camp for half a year, and every time he rode into the grassland, he set off with some dry food and cold water. Sometimes I can go back to the barracks in three or two days, sometimes it takes five or six days or even longer. It is rare to be able to eat a bite of hot steamed buns and drink hot porridge.

At first, he was really not used to it, and life was extremely difficult. However, after a few times between life and death, it is impossible not to be open-minded.

He Qi glanced at He Yuan deeply: "Second brother, you have changed a lot. ”

He Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "In the past, I was very proud of myself, and I was full of strength to suppress you, and even Xiao wanted to be the son of the world." Now that I think about it, it's like a nightmare. ”

"My father brought me to the border and let me into the scout camp. At first, I was full of resentment, hated my father, and hated you for refusing to intercede for me. ”

"Until that time, our scout camp was raided......"

Pain and remorse flashed in He Yuan's eyes: "We only have more than a hundred people, but the Tatar cavalry has a thousand. They are menacing, and they are all elite soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, and we are invincible. ”

"In order to deliver the news back to the barracks, everyone desperately killed the enemy, and killed a few scouts who delivered the message. In the end, only a few of our team survived. The rest died. ”

"According to the practice of the scout camp, the people who returned to the barracks to deliver the letters were veterans who had experienced a hundred battles. Because, the veterans are experienced and have a better chance of escaping. I'm the only exception. Because, I am the son of General He Da and the second son of the Pingguo Mansion. ”

"In order to cover my escape, they did not care about themselves, some were killed by random arrows, some were hacked to death by knives, and the worst thing was to fall from their horses and trampled to death by horses."

Speaking of this, He Yuan's voice trembled, and his eyes were faintly red.

In front of his eyes, it seemed that there was another bloody night.

He seemed to be talking to He Qi, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "Everyone has only one life." When you get to the battlefield, everyone fights hard, whose life is more noble than whom? ”

"If I hadn't been surnamed He, I would have died that night."

"My father hated me for not being angry, and he didn't care about me on weekdays. But everybody knows that I am my father's son. When it came to life and death, I was lucky enough to pick up a life. ”

"Since then, I've figured it out. I was carried away by wealth, carried away by power, did things that should not have been done, and made mistakes that should not have been made. In the future, I want to be an upright He family erlang. It is better to die on the battlefield than to survive. ”

"Third brother, I made a big mistake! I owe you a word of sorry. He Yuan stood up, his eyes were red, and he bowed deeply: "Third brother, I'm sorry!" ”

……

The arrogant and contemptuous sneering He Yuan in his previous life is gone, and in front of him is the second cousin who is full of repentance and has suddenly awakened.

He Qi had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was speechless for a long time.

He Yuan maintained a posture of bowing and apologetic.

After a long time, He Qi exhaled: "Second brother, the past has passed. From now on, none of us will mention it. You are still my second brother, and I am still your third brother. ”

When He Qi said this, he really forgave him.

He Yuan's eyes were hot again, and two tears rolled down. He quickly restrained himself, straightened up, and said in a dumb voice, "I am ashamed of your magnanimity. ”

He Qi looked at He Yuan and said slowly: "Second brother, you have a good father. ”

He Yuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "I was full of resentment before, and even hated my father. Now that I am a father, although I have not seen the child yet, I am full of joy and hope that he will have a future when he grows up. I don't know how disappointed and sad I would be if he did such a rebellious thing. ”

Only when you become a father can you experience the feeling of being a father!

He Qi didn't know what he thought of, and was silent.

He Yuan was still keen, and glanced at He Qi: "Third brother, what did you mean by saying that I have a good father?" Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the eldest uncle? ”

He had hopes and expectations for his father, but he was ignored and treated coldly. The loss and pain of being abandoned and abandoned is only clear to him.

He couldn't let go of this knot. At least, not yet.

He Qi said lightly: "There is no dissatisfaction. It's just that my father and I haven't seen each other for many years, so we're quite unfamiliar. I don't know what to say when we get together. ”

He Yuan didn't say more, but asked, "The Tatar prince has already entered the barracks. I don't know when he will be ordered to go into battle to 'persuade him to surrender'? ”

A coldness flashed in He Qi's eyes, and he said lightly: "The two armies are fighting, and he should come in handy." ”

The weather is cold and freezing, and it is not suitable for marching and fighting. In recent times, there has not been much fighting.

He Yuan nodded slightly.

At this moment, a commotion sounded outside the tent, and I don't know who shouted: "Tatar cavalry raid the barracks!" ”
