"Got it." Chu Jiayin said softly.

A confession, as if there were no waves. Why is it calm, a little, it has long been agreed with each other a long time ago, and there is no need for today's confession at all.

Today's words are nothing but a quest for peace of mind.

Xiliang Border City, I haven't seen it for almost a year, and it has changed a lot. When Chu Jiayin first came here, she was a little desperate, because she came with her master, and the master was poisoned just halfway through, and then she wandered around the city alone. Then, she was taken captive as a slave by the soldiers of the border city, and stood up for those slaves for the sake of the moment, and finally ended up in a situation where she was about to escape.

Looking back now, it's like a big dream, but finally, it's all over.

"Second brother, have the people in the northwest who were captured as slaves been released?" Chu Jiayin asked, now she no longer cares about others, she just wants to ask.

It was none of her business whether they were safe or not, but she just wanted to know, just to know.

"I don't know, everything that can be released has been released, and the rest may have died, or they may have escaped." Chu Jingyan doesn't care about the people in the northwest, he only cares whether the generals who caused chaos in the northwest surrender to live in peace.

"When I first came here, it can be said that I died nine times and lived a life, but now I come back again, it's all different." Chu Jiayin took a deep breath of the air here, and even the taste of the air was very different from before.

There are so many suffocating smells in the air right now. Such as soot, such as blood. The large expanses of green forests in the past have long since disappeared, and those dusts are flying unscrupulously in the sky above the border city of Xiliang.

"Don't suck it in." Chu Jingyan was just about to remind, but unfortunately Chu Jiayin had already sucked it in.

Choked for a while, Chu Jiayin clutched his chest and coughed violently. Chu Jingyan took water for her to drink and asked, "Didn't you see the smoke and dust flying everywhere?" ”

Chu Jiayin gurgled and drank a few sips of water, and his face returned to the same as before.

"Well, I really haven't seen it. Hahaha...... Second brother, where do you say the second and third uncles are now? Chu Jiayin just walked forward, Chu Jingyan didn't say that she was wrong, so she continued to move forward.

When it comes to the second and third uncles, Chu Jiayin is finally not so happy. It's been almost a year, they've been gone for almost a year, and if they can't find anyone again, it's estimated that they will be like an uncle, and they won't be able to come back for more than 20 years.

The sons and daughters of the Chu family, except for Chu Zhang, who is useless, are all poor, and one or two have no good lives! God is not kind, always picking honest people to bully, the annoying one who loves to take advantage of the horns, so he tells him to eat and sleep well, and envy others.

"I don't know, I've only heard a few businessmen mention that the second and third masters have been to the northwest of South Vietnam. Soon after, it was transferred to Xiliang. Chu Jingyan looked at the road ahead, there were more and more flying dust, this Xiliang even close to Nanyue, a neighboring country full of mountains and forests, began to be so bad, those fields that were really covered by flying sand, I don't know what kind of scene it is.

What exactly can war bring? It's just the selfish desire of a few people, sacrificing a large number of innocent people who have no opinions.

Chu Jiayin raised his hand to block the flying dust, squinted his eyes and said, "Second brother, when I came to Xiliang before, why didn't I see such a bad environment?" ”

Although her mind was full of the ferocious tiger at that time, the rest of the time, it was the Chief's Mansion who restrained her freely. Later, he was able to escape from the chief's mansion, and he had never experienced such a bad situation in the wind and sand.

"It's time to be flattened by artillery, it's time to be flattened by the army. It is not good to grow flowers and trees in the west, and the northwest is full of wind and sand. Now that there is no jungle shelter, the wind and sand will naturally blow over here. Chu Jingyan explained.

The further the two walked, the greater the wind and sand. Chu Jingyan could only take Chu Jiayin to a safe place and wait for the wind to be lighter.

The two came to a farmer's house, and there were chickens and ducks outside, and a grass pond, which was full of fish. The mountain behind the farmer's house is a rice field, and the front house has a yard, which is a good scene of living and working in peace and contentment, and the sunrise and sunset rest.

Originally, it was okay to go to the city, but Chu Jiayin had to look at the field, and Chu Jingyan felt that he would like this side more, so he brought her over. Sure enough, as soon as this girl arrived in the field, she flew around happily like a loach, catching butterflies and dragonflies everywhere.

The host family is an old couple, and there is a little girl of seven or eight years old. The little girl wore a pair of balls, a red hairband tied to them, and a short pink jacket, like the kind of porcelain doll at home.

She also looks the same, she was born with a red face, but unfortunately it's a little dark, otherwise she would be a peach face.

The little girl crouched at the gate of the courtyard, saw Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan, and hurriedly turned around and called her father: "Daddy, Auntie, someone has come to our house." It's such a beautiful brother and sister. ”

Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan stood together, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the immortal couple in the painting. The fairies in the painting are all dressed in shawls and fairy dresses, and Chu Jiayin's neat dress is more like a chivalrous woman parading the rivers and lakes.

The husband and wife of the peasant family hurriedly came out to see, and when they saw someone, they shouted: "Little Langjun and little lady, what are you doing passing by here?" ”

At first glance, these two people are characters who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, and when they come to this barren mountain and wilderness, they really trample on that clothes. No, although Chu Jiayin was extra careful, she was still wrapped in the mud in the field, and threw herself straight into the paddy field, soiling her dress.

"Uncle and aunt, we came here, and the wind and sand hurt people. It's dark nowhere, and there's nowhere to go, so I want to find a place to escape. Can you make it easier? Chu Jiayin walked a few steps first and talked to the aunt from a distance

The aunt nodded hurriedly, beckoned them over, and said, "Yes, the little lady should bring your family Langjun over." ”

Chu Jiayin turned around and walked a few steps, took Chu Jingyan's hand, and said, "Second brother, let's go!" ”

"Let's go, lady." Chu Jingyan couldn't help but snicker for a while, and watched Chu Jiayin's ears turn from white to red.

In the end, Chu Jiayin exploded directly, not wanting to go with him, let go of his hand, and ran forward by himself. Chu Jingyan walked forward slowly, leisurely, and Chu Jiayin, who ran in front of him and completely lost his image, was not a person in a painting.

The one over there should be the crazy girl painted by the talents, and the one here is the handsome boy painted by the talents, how graceful he is.

Chu Jiayin took out a handful of candy for the little girl to eat, and asked her name, Xiaocui. The aunt looked at Chu Jiayin's appearance, and the more she looked at it, the more strange she became, and she couldn't help asking, "Where is this girl?" It's so exquisite, I've never seen it in most of my life. ”

"I'm from Kyoto City, South Vietnam, and I'm here to find two relatives of mine. Auntie, these days, have you ever heard of South Vietnamese businessmen entering the country to do business? ”

"I haven't heard of this, but the other day there was a war, and it scared people to death, and there were dead people everywhere. I heard that the South Vietnamese side is also fighting? "The aunt has no prejudice against Chu Jiayin and the others coming from South Vietnam, but she is dissatisfied with the war.

Originally, the war had nothing to do with the contradictions between the two countries, and it was all caused by rebels in their respective countries. There is Tiexi in Xiliang, there is Hu Ping in South Vietnam, and the one in South Vietnam is hiding deeply, and he still can't catch him, and even in order to clear his responsibility, he doesn't even let go of himself, which is really vicious and terrifying.

"yes, it's not peaceful. Now the country is more peaceful. "Chu Jiayin has never been to that country, he only knows that it is richer than South Vietnam, and he doesn't know what it will be like.

The aunt brought a sunflower over and sent it to Chu Jiayin, saying, "Let's eat melon seeds, it's okay, isn't it?" I haven't seen anyone for a long time, so you can talk to me about things outside. ”

Swallowing melon seeds? Chu Jiayin has seen such a strange method of eating melon seeds for the first time, holding sunflower flowers and eating melon seeds, the taste of this melon seeds has a green and tender aroma of vegetables and fruits, which is really different.

"You're not outside, are you here all the time?" Chu Jiayin has heard that some people who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests may never go out to see people outside for the rest of their lives. If you think about it carefully, it is absolutely impossible for her not to go shopping and join in the fun for the rest of her life.

Being able to stay in a quiet place for a lifetime, Chu Jiayin really can't think of it.

The aunt said, "It's not that I don't go, isn't it inconvenient?" When you two went up the mountain, didn't you see how difficult the mountain road was? I can't get up for a long time, and I can't afford to toss. And at this moment, war is raging, who dares to go down and die! ”

"That's the same, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and those soldiers who kill red-eyed soldiers never take human life seriously, and it is safe to stay in this kind of place."

"That's not it. You two don't wander around there anymore. Seeing that you are young and both of you are still going out, you must not have a son and a half daughter at home at that time, right? If you die like this, your family will cry, and you yourself are not worth it. ”

"That's what Auntie said." Chu Jiayin was a little relieved, maybe she had really grown up, and she could really stand by the side of her second brother and say that she liked him, and she would not make people think that Chu Jingyan liked a little girl or a little sister.

"Sister, sister." Xiao Cui brought a flower and handed it to Chu Jiayin.

Chu Jiayin asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

"This one is for you to wear, it looks good." Xiao Cui inserted the flower into Chu Jiayin's bun, and the small pink stamen, although cheesy, added a bit of unique freshness and nature to Chu Jiayin's head.

"Xiao Cui, don't toss your sister." Auntie said.

"It's okay, it's pretty good. Is it okay for my sister to wear one for Xiaocui too? Chu Jiayin said.

Xiao Cui nodded and said, "Okay." Then let's go pick flowers, there are a lot of flowers over there. ”

"Uh-huh. Auntie, I'll accompany Xiaocui first. ”

"Okay, let's go."
