"At that time, I was still young, the Feng army did not enter the customs, my father took us to station in Fengtian, he was busy with the eastern and western expeditions, the southern expeditions and the northern war, and my eldest brother and I had already entered the lecture hall."

Rong Yin was very surprised when he heard it, "How old were you at that time, and you entered the martial arts hall?" ”

"My eldest brother is ten years old, and I am only eight years old."

Rong Yin looked up, "So small?" ”

Duan Hanting lowered his eyes and said: "At that time, I hadn't officially become a soldier, but I was too skinny, I couldn't stay idle at home, I took my younger brothers out to fight every day, and I didn't have time to take care of us, so I saved up when I got into trouble, and waited for my father to come back and settle the accounts after the autumn, and then I might have caused too many troubles, and my father had beaten enough, so he simply threw us into the martial arts hall and trained with the recruits." ”

He adjusted his posture and circled Rong Yin in his arms, "At that time, the martial arts hall had not yet formed a scale, but it was just a grass platform team, and the master at that time was surnamed Guan, and he also taught me martial arts." ”

When Rong Yin heard this, he suddenly remembered something, "That Master Guan, is he also Yan San's master?" ”

"Hmm."

Duan Hanting's eyes darkened, "I only found out about this later." ”

"I'm not going to interrupt, you continue."

Rong Yin didn't want to listen to Yan San's affairs.

"Entering the lecture hall, my father had the heart to let us endure hardships, so he specially instructed Master Guan not to give us preferential treatment, the stricter the better, Master Guan was also a strict teacher, and he tossed us a lot, my eldest brother and I fought with the master, and the life was also lively. When boys were young, they were skinned, and when they opened their eyes every day, they seemed to have endless vitality, and they didn't feel how bitter they were when they practiced, but when they were on the rattan body, it really hurt to be sweated. ”

Rongyin listened and sighed in his heart, they are all children who have been beaten up.

The sensibilities of boys and girls are really different, she also grew up eating whips, and she still feels painful, and the process of studying medicine is also miserable, but I didn't expect Duan Hanting to say that she didn't feel how bitter.

It's really rough and thick, she secretly slandered.

"And then?"

"Later, maybe it was me and my eldest brother who were too able to make a fuss, when I was ten years old, Master Guan didn't teach us, at that time my father thought it was the two of us who made the master angry, and asked us to kneel down to make amends to the master, my eldest brother and I saw that the master was leaving, and panicked, when I knelt down and admitted my mistake, the master helped us to come, and said to my father with a smile, it's not that he doesn't want to teach, but he can't teach, and my eldest brother and I can go out of school."

Rong Yin was very surprised, "Two years, you will be out of school?" ”

She has studied medicine until now, and she has passed the doctorate examination, but she still doesn't dare to say that she is a teacher.

Duan Hanting's eyebrows were raised, with youthful pride and confidence, "At that time, the group of recruits, the small sixteen or seventeen, the big twenty, none of them beat us, my eldest brother and I were young and frivolous, and we were a little lonely and seeking defeat, and we went out to fight with the bandits after fighting all over the barracks, at that time, I really didn't know where I got so much strength, and I was beaten, but more often than not, I beat others, and my martial arts also grew up in such fights again and again." ”

Rong Yin had another question and looked at him curiously, "Then you and the eldest brother, who is more powerful in martial arts?" ”

"I don't know." Duan Hanting told the truth.

Rong Yin raised his eyebrows, "Haven't you ever fought?" ”

"First, there are more times when the two of us join forces to beat others, and secondly, the family is young and orderly, I won't do it with my eldest brother, and if I really want to do it, my eldest brother will let me."

Rong Yin nodded clearly, and looked at him with some distress, "At that time, you must have had a good relationship, right?" ”

Duan Hanting was silent for a moment, and let out a low "um".

Then he closed his eyes, looked up and sighed, "At that time...... It's really good. ”

It is said that children's feelings are the closest and most valuable, because childhood is the simplest, and there are not so many mundane thoughts and intrigues.

She sometimes recalls her childhood with Rong Shu Rongyu, and occasionally flashes a few warm pictures, although they will compete for favor with each other at that time, but it is nothing more than fighting for a piece of candy, fighting for a new dress, fighting for who her father loves more, if there is no fight between adults, maybe she and Rong Shu Rongyu and even Rong Wei will not be so out of control now, sisters turn against each other and kill each other.

"That'...... Big brother's leg, when and why did it hurt? ”

Duan Hanting opened his eyes, and there was starlight flickering under his eyes, "That's what happened after Master Guan left......

At that time, he was only ten years old, and Duan Shenyuan was only a twelve-year-old child.

At that time, they didn't understand the distinction between parties and factions, only knew that Feng Jun had killed a lot of soldiers, all of whom were killed by the so-called "enemy", and every time they saw their bodies being transported back, his and eldest brother's eyes would be red for a long time, and they would bury the dead soldiers with other soldiers and brothers, and then watch a new batch of soldiers rush to the battlefield.

The deeds are all accumulated by piles of bones, but at that time they didn't understand, only a sense of grief and anger, wanting to avenge the dead relatives and friends.

"At that time, I was too young after all, I thought I was very powerful, and after reading a few military books, I thought I was a general, but I was just Zhao Kuo, just talking about soldiers on paper."

Duan Hanting laughed at himself, he was young and frivolous, and he always had to fall on his heels, but this one was too ruthless.

At that time, the marshal was negotiating with a group of horse bandits, wanting to take them for his own use, integrate them into the army, and expand his power, but the leader of the horse bandits was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes.

Then they resisted, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Duan Shenyuan was anxious to make military achievements, and felt that he would not be able to get a tiger if he didn't enter the tiger's den, and Duan Hanting also wanted to help Fengjun, but at that time, he felt that the plan was not thorough enough, and he wanted to observe the situation for two more days.

In this way, the brothers had a disagreement.

Duan Shenyuan felt that Duan Hanting was timid and afraid, and said sarcastically: "I know what you are worried about, once the horse bandits are eliminated this time, my father will make another contribution, our Fengjun is famous, and the entry is just around the corner, you are the son-in-law, after your father enters the customs, you will be the young marshal, you can sit at home and enjoy the success, so why take this risk with me." I'm different from you, I'm a concubine, and if I want my father to favor me, I can only rely on my military exploits, so I have to go. ”

"At that time, my father was very popular in Mukden, and everyone stammered him, saying that as long as he entered the customs, he would be the emperor, and both in the army and at home began to talk about the issue of concubines, and the eldest brother was also interested in it."

Duan Hanting said in a low voice, "I'm a son-in-law, I didn't think there was anything wrong with my sister-in-law at the time, everyone is a brother of flesh and blood, why care so much, but there are some things, if you don't care, they don't exist." ”

Rong Yin said: "Grandeur is about origin, and origin is not something that an individual can decide. When I was very young, Ah Niang told me that although I am a concubine, it does not mean that I am born inferior, people can't decide their own origin, but they can decide their own future, so I figured this question out at a very young age, no matter how Rong Shu took Qiao in front of me, no matter how outsiders humiliated me as a concubine, I didn't feel that I was inferior. ”

"You have a good mother who taught you self-esteem and self-love since you were a child, but many people are not as strong as you are in your heart."

Duan Hanting's eyes narrowed slightly, "The eldest brother is the illegitimate son of his father, he came to the house after his father and mother got married, I was more than a year old at that time, for this sudden son, my father was not as happy as he imagined, not to mention my mother, the appearance of the eldest brother was a bolt from the blue for her, not to mention that my father later forcibly accepted the eldest brother's aunt, that is, the second mother, as a concubine despite my mother's opposition, which was a hard stab in my mother's heart. It also made their relationship deteriorate ever since. The eldest brother has been very sensible and strong since he was a child, maybe he just wants to prove that he is also his father's son. ”

Rong Yin nodded and sighed lightly, "Understandable. The sins done by parents often hurt their children, alas. ”

She guessed that the reason why Duan Shenyuan told her what happened back then was just that she thought that they were all concubines, she could understand him, she understood him, but her heart was still involuntarily biased towards Duan Hanting.

"So, the eldest brother went to the bandits' den alone? You didn't go? Rong Yin continued to ask.

Duan Hanting shook his head, "No, I'll go." How could I possibly let my eldest brother go into danger alone? So, we were both trapped in the stockade by the horse bandits at that time. ”

"What? Are you trapped too? ”

Rong Yin was surprised, he suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at Duan Hanting nervously, "What about later, who will save you later?" ”

Looking at her nervous appearance, Duan Hanting lightly twisted her little face and said, "Who else can there be, naturally it is my father...... Originally, my father wanted to stalemate with them for a while, but as soon as he heard that my eldest brother and I were kidnapped and trapped in the house by them, he immediately led Uncle Meng Liu and them to level the village regardless of it. ”

Rong Yin's heart tightened, although Duan Shenyuan and Duan Hanting were both alive, but when she thought of that scene at that time, she still had some indescribable panic, and she also expected the tragedy that would happen next.

Duan Hanting's eyes were painful, "I don't admit defeat, let alone admit my fate, I struggled desperately under the slate, and when I climbed out, I saw my father who came in a hurry, and subconsciously called him, but I didn't know that the eldest brother was also calling my father at that time, but he was beaten by the horse bandits, and he was pressed by the slate and couldn't speak, my father only heard my shout, so he took the sixth uncle and ran over to save me, and pried the slate up......"

Rong Yin's eyelashes jumped suddenly, looking at Duan Hanting's red eyes, and he finished the rest of the words for him with difficulty.

"So, big brother's legs, that's it...... Broken? ”
