Chapter 156: Under the Smoke (2)

Actually, it's not hard to guess.

The person who cooks noodles is Chunxiu, who else will bury his tongue?

It started to rain outside, and there was a lot of noise on the tiles.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Chunxiu got up, turned on the oil lamp and walked to Shi Yong's bed, "Can I come to the bed with you?" ”

Shi Yong opened the tent and looked at her, "Yes." ”

Chunxiu slowly put the oil lamp on the cabinet, took off her shoes and placed them neatly on the head of the bed next to Shi Yong, only holding the quilt on her legs, not daring to get too close to Shi Yong,

Through the faint light, Shi Yong saw her face becoming whiter and whiter.

"They killed a lot of people, my mom and dad and my brother died."

After a pause, she turned her head and looked at her calmly: "Three of those tongues in the cave belong to them. ”

Shi Yong thought of Chunxiu's vomiting that day, and reached out to pat her on the back.

"Pingliang, that's not my mother."

Chunxiu deliberately smiled at Shi Yong, her expression a little apologetic.

"Selling my body to bury my mother is fake, I lied to my wife."

Shi Yong nodded, "I know." ”

Zhao Yin also said that the scam against them has started since Pingliang.

They pretended to be Pei Fu to come to Qingshan Town, but they didn't expect that the entire Qingshan Town was fake.

Chunxiu took the initiative to hold Shi Yong's hand, as if to gain strength, and held it tightly. Her hands were rough, not at all like the delicate skin of a child.

"General Pei returned to his hometown and province, and they were very scared. They gave me an identity, and I sold myself to bury my mother in order to attract the attention of my wife and make her pity me. They wanted me to stay with my wife and find out what the general wanted. ”

Shi Yong asked, "What if I hadn't brought you back that day?" ”

Chunxiu's eyes were slightly distracted: "They will have other methods." However, I want to go with Madame. ”

Shi Yong: "Why? ”

Chunxiu's breathing was slightly heavier, and it was at this time that Shi Yong saw a trace of fear belonging to the little girl in her eyes.

"They kept me and the other children in cages and domesticated them, beat them, scolded them, denied them food, and obeyed the teachings. I had to pretend to obey, I wanted to be better than them, I wanted to live. Before she died, my mother told me that I had to live to have a chance...... I'm alive, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, Following Madame is my only chance, my only chance to get out of the devil's cave. ”

That day in Pingliang, the little girl's longing eyes were the driving force that drove Shi Yong to take her away.

"You made it."

Shi Yong touched her head with pity, like touching Zhao Yunzhen.

"Have you told the general about these things?"

Subconsciously, Shi Yong called Zhao Yin a general.

It's for Chunxiu to understand, but it invisibly continues a certain relationship.

Chunxiu nodded and winked at her playfully.

"I didn't tell them about you and the general. I know that a general is not a general, and a lady is not a lady. But I didn't say it. ”

Shi Yong: ......

The face is inexplicably a little ashamed.

————

The government is going to build a large cemetery outside Qingshan Town.

Granny Fu is tying paper people every day, and she received silver taels from the government to sacrifice for the souls of the dead in Qingshan Town, and she needs a lot of sacrificial supplies. She was doing it very seriously, as if she was tireless.

Shi Yong went to visit her again the next day, but he couldn't see the nephew in her mouth.

Qingshan Town is empty, but Granny Fu firmly believes that one day Qingshan Town will return to that lively appearance.

And she seems to have become the grave keeper of Qingshan Town.

Before leaving, Shi Yong left a seal of silver for Chunxiu, but unexpectedly, Chunxiu came out with a small package, fluttered, and knelt in front of her.

"Madame, can you take me away?"

Shi Yong was silent for a long time, looking at her.

In the thick fog, the thin and small Chunxiu's eyes were full of longing, like a plum on a winter branch, stubborn and resolute.

"I don't know where I'm going? The trip may be dangerous. ”

"I'm not afraid." Chunxiu gently grabbed Shi Yong's cuffs, "I will cook and do laundry, I will be a girl for Mrs., and I will take care of Mrs." If the lady is not at ease, I will voluntarily sign the deed of sale and become the lady's slave and maid......"

This thick helplessness easily evokes Shi Yong's memory.

The human nature that does not want to succumb to fate is so tenacious that people can't bear to refuse.

It is precisely because of this that the Yongren Garden of Shiyong in the past picked up many people.

Yan Mu, Yundu, Nantian, and even Wuchan, as well as many people, were all "picked up" back to Yongren Garden by chance by Shi Yong.

Shi Yong took Chunxiu away, and Granny Fu packed some dry food for them, and told Chunxiu to go back to Qingshan Town to see her in the future.

So, Shi Yong left the silver that was originally given to Chunxiu to Granny Fu.

Leaving Qingshan Town, Shi Yong did not go back, but continued along the official road to Lulong County.

Chunxiu didn't ask why, just followed her silently, not much to say, but very clever, feeding horses and dogs, serving tea and pouring water, and rushing to do all the things that slaves and maids do.

————

Lulong County is the seat of Yongping Province.

Affected by the war, the streets are very deserted, many businesses are closed to avoid disasters, the last time I saw the scene of traffic and shops, gone, every house closed its doors, this city is shockingly depressed. When it arrived, the teahouse and wine shop did not close, and it became a gathering place for people, and it was very lively.

Shi Yong took Chunxiu, led the horse, walked the dog, and finally found an inn to live in.

For the sake of convenience, Shi Yong also dressed Chunxiu as a little scholar.

Filling their stomachs, the two walked through the clear and cold street and entered the largest teahouse in Lulong.

The air in the teahouse seemed to smell of gunsmoke.

Shi Yong didn't have to do anything, and his ears were full of news.

Zhao Yin is now in Yongpingwei, and the guard is only about 20 miles away from Lulong County.

However, compared to the confidence given to the people by Zhao Yin's arrival, these people seemed to be more afraid of the combat power of Wuliang Khan.

Someone said: "The people of the Uliang Khan were eight feet tall, and they looked like wild beasts, fierce and fierce. ”

It was said, "They do not build houses, they are like savages, they go and sleep wherever they go, they eat raw meat and drink blood." ”

Someone said, "They skinned the animals, and they all wrapped them around their waists, and men and women were mixed with each other." ”

It was said, "If a woman is taken prisoner by them, she will be thrown into the camp for everyone to eat." ”

Regardless of whether they had seen the Uliang Khan people, some people came with their mouths open, and described them vividly.

For the common people, these words are tantamount to adding to the panic of war, but they are afraid and want to hear it.

There were more and more people in the teahouse, and Shi Yong and Chunxiu were crowded in the corner, not very noticeable.

said that it was selling tea, and the teahouse also had some snacks, Shi Yong asked Chunxiu for some snacks and wanted her to pass the time, but Xiao Er sent the things up, but Chunxiu carefully wrapped them up and put them in his pocket.

Shi Yong was a little strange, "What are you putting it up for?" ”

Chunxiu said, "Young Master, do you want to eat it now?" ”

Seeing her rush to get it, Shi Yong couldn't cry or laugh, "I'll give you something to eat." ”

Chunxiu shook her head, "I'm not hungry." ”

Snacks aren't eaten when you're hungry.

Shi Yong knew that he would not be able to change the little girl's concept for a while, so he smiled and didn't speak, and saw that the tea shop was coming again. Looking at the clothes, he doesn't look like an ordinary family, wearing a brocade robe and wearing a weapon at his waist, which is out of place with everyone in the teahouse.

"Boss, come two pots of good tea!"

The silver was thrown on the table, and the wealth was abundant.

The saber is bright and even more terrifying.

Shi Yong glanced at Chunxiu, saw her calm expression, and smiled approvingly.

And the man at the table sat down beside them, and when he sat down, he sighed.

"Where can I find someone in this chaos?"

"Alas, seeing that the day is coming, how can I give an account to the evil king?"

The two people's complaints were exchanged for the other person's low drink, "Shut up!" ”

Looking left and right, he lowered his voice, "After drinking tea, hurry up." ”

The group came and went in a hurry, and after sitting for half a pot of tea, they left in a hurry.

Shi Yong looked at their backs and smiled coolly.

"Chunxiu, let's go."

Out of the teahouse, Chunxiu saw Shi Yong going to the inn and asked a rare question.

"Madame, are we going to the general?"

Shi Yong looked down at her, "No." ”

Chunxiu frowned, as if she was a little puzzled, but she didn't say much.

Shi Yong narrowed his eyes, "I'll send you back to the inn first, and you wait for me at the inn." ”

Chunxiu was frightened and raised her head, "Madam, won't you take me?" ”

Shi Yong: "It's dangerous to take you." ”

————

The sky at dusk, drizzling.

In the Yongpingwei camp, after discussing the military situation, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Yin still sat there without moving.

Xie Fang noticed his discomfort just now, closed the door, and approached.

"Master, but the leg disease is committed again?"

It rained for two days in a row, and for Zhao Yin, it was torment.

Hearing this, Zhao Yin didn't move, and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Is there any news from General Wei?"

Wei Xiaolong invited himself to lead the way, and led 100,000 troops out of Yongpingwei the night before yesterday.

Xie Fang glanced at his calm face and shook his head.

"It's a bit far to go to Lonely Mountain, and I don't think it's so fast. As soon as General Wei arrived, there would be good news. ”

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Yin's legs worriedly.

"It's my grandfather's legs...... Alas, he should have brought Ah Shi with him in the first place. ”

Zhao Yin frowned, "Without her, can't I still live?" ”

Xie Fang hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say more.

He knows more or less about this master's temper, and he doesn't like to be questioned about his decision, since he put Ah Shi back to Jingshi, he has already made plans, and it is superfluous for others to say anything.

After a long time, Zhao Yin finally got up from the chair and walked out casually.

"Let's go to the camp."

Xie Fang glanced at his legs, "Yes." ”

As soon as the two went out, Zhu Jiu hurriedly ran in from outside the camp, walked up to Zhao Yin, and reported in a low voice:

"Master, Prince Wurisu asks to see."
