In the afternoon, Li Lin wandered the streets alone.

The bustling streets are filled with all kinds of peddlers and pawns.

Two rows of goods are dazzling, and men and women wearing silk and satin walk by.

Li Lin looked at the bustling and lively Kyoto, thought of the desolation of Mobei, and sighed slightly.

It's literally two worlds.

When he looked up, he saw Yuanshu on the opposite street from a distance, and a strong servant followed him, carrying large and small things.

Li Lin walked over to greet him.

"Aren't you unable to go out? It's two days now, why are you on the street? ”

At this time, Yuan Shu, dressed as a civilian, was trying on a bow and arrow in front of a stall.

He looked up and saw Li Lin in disgust, and said in a cold tone, "If you don't say it, no one will know." ”

As soon as you look at his attitude, you know that you hold grudges.

Li Lin looked at his puffed up appearance, and actually thought it was quite cute, and said with a smile:

"As a man, you can't hold grudges just because you've suffered losses."

Yuanshu ignored him, and continued to study the bow and arrow in his hand.

Li Lin also glanced at it and said, "This kind of string is not very good, and it will become brittle after a long time." ”

"You know?" Yuan Shu asked.

Li Lin felt that he was indeed at fault for playing tricks on him last time, so he said: "If you want a bow and arrow, I'll make one for you later!" ”

These words surprised Yuan Shu even more, "You can make bows and arrows?" ”

Li Lin nodded: "I just don't know if there are suitable materials here." ”

"Hmph, it's a lie." Yuanshu felt that this woman was full of crazy words.

Thinking of the last time I tricked myself into drinking, I felt a fire in my heart.

Li Lin is used to joking with some bigwigs in the barracks, and he doesn't take his anger seriously at all.

He patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll invite you to drink!" ”

"Drinking again?"

Yuan Shu looked at Li Lin and felt that the woman in front of him was completely different from others, no matter how she behaved or what she did, her personality was incompatible with the woman in his consciousness.

"Why do you keep drinking?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "Is there anything strange about drinking?" It's not to make trouble. ”

She reached out and pulled Yuanshu's sleeve, "I invite you." ”，

Yuanshu was stunned and actually followed like this.

Even I was confused.

watched Li Lin pour a full glass of wine and drink it all.

Yuan Shu finally asked the question in his heart: "You are obviously a woman, are you not afraid of others when you drink blatantly?" ”

"Say what?" Li Lin asked.

Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed to speak, he even knew better than her what women could do and what women couldn't.

"Anyway...... The woman is not very good at drinking. Yuan Shu said.

Li Lin smiled: "There's nothing wrong with it, wine can keep warm." ”

"Heating?"

Yuanshu looked at the surrounding sky suspiciously, "It's not cold now." ”

Li Lin poured another glass, "The border pass is not as good as the Beijing Division, and it is cold every year, and only wine can keep out the cold." ”

Yuan Shu was taken aback: "You came from the border pass?" ”

He was a little surprised, the impatience in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he was a little excited.

"Surely you've seen a war?" He asked.

Li Lin nodded.

The previous antagonistic atmosphere has obviously eased a lot,

Yuan Shu sat a few closer to her, his eyes already shining.

He asked Li Lin: "Isn't it interesting to fight?" ”

"Huh?" Li Lin looked at him.

Yuan Shu repeated again: "Isn't it interesting to fight? Pick up the sword and arrow and fight hard, expand the territory and be invincible. ”

Li Lin looked at his face.

Yuanshu said: "I have always wanted to go to the battlefield, but my father and king do not agree with them, my dream is to become a brave general!"

When he said this, his face was glowing, as if it were a dream.

Li Lin looked at him quietly, this was a teenager, there were still some great and uninhibited fantasies in his mind, his ambition, his impulses were the same as the countless teenagers she had seen, full of water chestnuts.

"A lot of things are not the same thing as imagination." She said.

"Tell me about the fun of war." Yuanshu was in high spirits.

"Fun?"

Li Lin looked at him for a long time and spoke:

"Wu Shizi, do you know?"

"Is it the son of Wu Min who vowed to regain the lost territory and win glory for the country?" Yuanshu nodded.

Li Lin said:

"In the battle three years ago, on the battlefield like ruins, he was right next to me, and a cold arrow passed through his throat, and blood spurted out... Stained the earth red. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned, she didn't expect her to say this suddenly.

Li Lin said: "The night before, he was still telling me about his ambitions, but the next day I saw him fall off his horse and fall in a pool of blood. ”

Li Lin gently held the cup with his hand, "I watched him fall at the time, and my mind went blank. My teacher whipped me from behind, but I didn't feel any pain.

The teacher said: If you want to live, rush forward. I don't want to go back with two bodies. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned.

Li Lin: "At that moment, I really wish I was dreaming, and when I woke up, we were still practicing on the school grounds. ”

Her expression was solemn and flat.

"Do you know what war is?" Li Lin looked at Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Yuan Shu was already stunned, listening to these words in a daze.

"War is that the brothers and friends who were talking and laughing with you yesterday have no hands, no feet, and no heads in front of you today.

The relatives in the distance are still looking forward to their achievements and return to their hometowns, but they fell in the rain of swords and became white bones. ”

These tragic memories. After Li Lin finished speaking calmly, he asked Yuanshu: "This is the war you want to know." Is this story funny? ”

“……”

Yuanshu was already silent, closing his lips tightly and not speaking.

Li Lin poured a cup full of wine and pushed it in front of Yuan Shu, "Fighting a war has always been a cruel thing, don't say the word fun or not, the soldiers on the frontier are guarding their homes with their lives." ”

Yuan Shu lowered his head slightly, no one had ever told him these words.

"It's okay to drink, you're a man." Li Lin had a slight smile on his face.

Yuanshu looked at her blankly, and his previous prejudices against her gradually dissolved.

That day

Sun Chengxian, a teacher at the border gate, came with a letter.

It's for Li Lin.

Li Lin thought that she had been delayed for too long these days when she came back, and the teacher wanted to urge her to go back, but when she opened the letter, the content was unexpected.

The teacher said: When you go home in the capital, don't go back to the border again, it doesn't matter if he traveled thousands of miles to let Li Lin carry that document. Just finding a reason to get her home.

The desert was bitterly cold, and the teacher couldn't bear to watch Li Lin spend his whole life outside.

"Li Lin, for the teacher to know,

After the big war three years ago, you wanted to go home, and when you hid in your room and secretly wiped your tears, I decided not to let you as a girl step into the war again.

I originally thought that your departure three years ago would end your military service, but I didn't expect you to return to Mobei again, I don't know what happened in the middle, making you from a girl who dislikes war to working hard day and night

But now, three years later, don't come back.

You have your life."

Li Lin looked at the letter and couldn't be relieved for a long time.
