Chapter 16: Rokuro
The sky was bright, and Xiao Qi started his morning run around his house.
The snow on the ground had been cleared by this time—it was evident that the people had already begun to work earlier.
Along the way, Xiao Qi met a lot of servants, she greeted them one by one, and when she passed by Si Yongzhai, Xiao Qi walked around her mother's yard as usual to greet her mother.
However, as soon as she entered the door, she saw a young man in iron armor sitting in the room, the person was facing the Li family, and was talking enthusiastically......
There was a very strange and rich smell of grass and trees wafting through the room.
As soon as Li saw Xiao Qi, he looked over and called her.
The young man also turned his head - it was a face that made Xiao Qi feel unfamiliar.
"Seventh sister, long time no see." The youth stood up, "Your legs look ...... Already completely well? ”
Xiao Qi blinked, and he couldn't react for a while.
"Hmm...... My leg? Oh oh oh - my legs ......" she looked down at her feet, "It's been good for a long time, it's been so good that I forgot about ......"
Xiao Qi's whole body tensed.
This person called her "Seventh Sister...... But the question is, which of her brothers is this???
Li frowned, "I don't know how to say hello after coming in for a long time, you girl is getting more and more unruly......"
A flattering and helpless smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face, no matter which brother he was......
"Hello brother." She obediently stood behind Li and looked at the armor on the person in front of her.
The clothes he wore were different from Feng Yishu's, this armor looked more metallic in color, and the weight should not be light.
Xiao Qi deliberately looked at his waist - there was no weapon hanging.
That's mostly like Feng Yishu, usually the weapon is invisible, and only when it is needed, it is used only when it is needed.
Seeing Xiao Qi's reaction, the young man couldn't help laughing, "I heard my mother say that last time you fell down the mountain, you forgot about many people and things...... I don't even remember your second brother. ”
Xiao Qi's expression froze, and he immediately waved his hand, "How come, how come?" ”
Her throat moved, "Of course I remember you, second brother, hahaha-I just haven't seen you for too long, so I feel a little hard to shout-"
Before Xiao Qi finished speaking, Li Shi on the side had already laughed, "Don't make fun of your sister-"
She turned her head to Xiao Qidao, "This is your sixth brother." ”
Xiao Qi choked on the spot.
This sixth brother is quite naughty......
Feng Liulang didn't smile, he looked at Xiao Qi with some surprise, "Seventh Sister really doesn't remember me?" ”
"Then I can't ...... it."
Xiao Qi sat down next to the Li family, thinking that more things are better than less things, anyway, the other brothers usually don't go home in Chang'an, this time it is probably a matter of meeting and leaving, but I didn't expect to be recognized as soon as I opened my mouth.
"But remember it now." She looked at the person in front of her, "Sixth brother...... Have you been in Chang'an before? ”
"Hmm."
"This time I went back to Luoyang, did I come back for the New Year?"
Feng Liulang laughed, "yes, I haven't been back for a long time." ”
When it came to the Chinese New Year, the Li family suddenly remembered something, and said with concern, "By the way, how long can the emperor call you back this time?" Mother, I have to make good arrangements-"
"No need to ......"
"Why don't you use it, there will be more things when it comes to the New Year's Festival, don't you do it in advance now-"
"We're not going to leave this time." Feng Liulang said, "We all handed over all the things we did in Chang'an before leaving—the second and third brothers heard that my father was in Weilu Mountain recently, so I went to the mountain to find him first, and I will come back first to tell you the news." ”
The scissors that Li had been holding in his hand fell to the ground with a click.
"That'...... That is to say......"
"Although there is no news on the specific new position we will be transferred to after we return, it seems that we will not need to go back in the future." Feng Liulang said with a smile, "Maybe the Holy Lord will let us go to the Demon Leveling Bureau, and in the future, a few of us will go to the Fifth Brother to help——"
Li Shi choked up for a moment, she stood up and went to the door, clasped her hands together and whispered to the sky.
"Mother......" Feng Liulang was thinking about what to say, and Li had already turned around.
Her eyes were completely red, and her face was no longer smiling, but she looked a little sad and angry.
"Mother, this is ...... What's wrong? Feng Liulang asked.
"You guys are really," Li stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and there was suddenly a lot of complaint in his tone, "How many letters have I written to you in the past three years, and I haven't replied to any of them, what do you all think?" You are on duty in Chang'an, and you are not going to the border, why don't you know any news to send home? ”
"Peach Blossom Guard—"
"What kind of news can the news reported by Peach Blossom Wei be counted, what else can you know besides knowing that you are still alive?"
The more Li thought about it, the more angry she felt, this grievance came suddenly, so that she didn't expect it - she thought that it would be rare for these three brothers to go home, and she didn't know how long she could stay on this trip, and she couldn't care about anything else for the time being......
Now that they know that they will return to Luoyang in the future, and the family can no longer be separated, the Li family only feels so happy that they don't know what to do.
But this joy is followed by resentment.
"We didn't know you sent a lot of letters." Feng Liulang was a little embarrassed, "Those family letters are thick and stacked, and they are all pressed in the post station, we were all a few days ago——"
"Then you should write a letter to your family!"
“…… Actually, I wrote it. Feng Liulang sighed, "Mother, don't be sad first-"
"Since I wrote it, why haven't I received a single one?"
Feng Liulang couldn't speak for a while, as long as he looked at Li silently, waiting for his mother's emotions to pass first.
"Brothers are coming back...... It's a happy thing. Xiao Qi rubbed his mother's shoulders on the side, "Mother, why did you lose your temper first......"
Li snorted, she leaned over to pick up the scissors on the ground, and continued to cut the medicinal herbs in her hand.
Feng Liulang snatched the scissors in his mother's hand and the bamboo basket in his arms and put them in his arms, and began to work with his mother's hand without saying a word.
Xiao Qi only noticed the thing in their hands at this time—thinking that this was the source of that strange medicinal fragrance, she pinched a small handful, put it in her hand and sniffed it carefully.
"I heard that Sister A is getting married this year," Feng Liulang said as he cut the medicine, "What about her and her brother-in-law, my mother will take me to meet them in a while." ”
"They are not at home now, they are in the mountains," Li wiped his tears, "but even if they come back, they will not live at home for long." ”
Feng Liulang raised his eyes, "...... So where to stay? ”
Li laughed, "If you live in Wei Xingzhen's mansion, where else can you live?" ”
"Wei Xingzhen ......," Feng Liulang repeated the unfamiliar name, "Isn't he in trouble?" ”
"Your brother-in-law is very capable...... Li sighed again, remembering what Feng Yishu said yesterday, she felt messed up in her heart.
I don't know how Ah Yan is doing on Daizong Mountain now......
"Mother, what are you cutting?" Xiao Qi stretched out his hand in front of the Li family, "This rattan skin smells strange." ”
"This is a mountain shark, also known as a mountain spring guest." Li replied, "Your grandmother's festival day is coming, so I'll prepare first." ”
