Chapter 156: The Bai Family's Responsibility
"Old man?"
Bai Qianning was surprised, followed the guidance of Xiao Tangyuan, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an old man with a white beard over his neck and a fairy wind bone, rowing a bamboo raft slowly coming from the lake in the distance.
The old man was dressed in white, his sideburns were gray, but his posture was very tough, he fiddled with the oars in his hand, paddling on the water, and countless fish swaying behind him, lining the scene at this moment more like a fairyland.
It's just that Bai Qianning never expected that as the boat got closer and closer, the mist on the water surface gradually dispersed, and what she saw was the face she missed the most.
Looking at the old man in front of her, Bai Qianning's eyes were already overflowing with mist, her thin lips opened slightly, and she called softly in disbelief: "Grandpa." ”
The old man raised his eyes to look at him, and there was the most familiar warmth in that smile.
"Hey! You girl, you really don't let grandpa worry. ”
Grandpa Bai responded, the bamboo raft had already rowed to the shore, he went ashore lightly, tied the rope to the stake on the shore, and then slowly walked to Bai Qianning.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Bai Qianning threw herself into her grandfather's arms and muttered, in the past half a year since she was reborn, she has been forcing herself to become an adult who can be on her own, but only she knows that only in her grandfather's arms, she will never need to grow up.
Grandpa Bai patted her on the back, and when her crying gradually stopped, he told her all about the whole story.
It turns out that this alternate era is an independent existence parallel to the modern era, and their Bai family has shouldered the responsibility of guarding this place for generations, the so-called protection, including quelling the war, rescuing the dawn, including the change of dynasties, and the change of imperial power.
"The change of dynasties, the change of imperial power?"
Bai Qianning listened with a stunned face, since she was reborn, she didn't think that her appearance would bring some changes to the world, but she didn't want to change the dynasty on her shoulders.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked: "Then, grandpa, is my appearance because the current emperor is immoral and tyrannical, and he wants me to support the new emperor to succeed to the throne?" ”
"Not bad!"
Grandpa Bai stroked his beard and nodded, without the slightest hint of wind and frost on his face.
"That'...... Xindi, is that him? ”
Bai Qianning thought of Zhan Qianche, she knew that since her grandfather would appear at this time, he must have known about her various entanglements with Zhan Qianche, she asked this, but what she wanted to hear was the word "no".
But Grandpa Bai didn't answer, but said with a smile: "You kid, since you were a child. is paranoid, and it is good to marry such a person to sharpen your temperament. ”
Marry him?
Bai Qianning listened to her grandfather's words, only feeling that she was as if she had been destined to live a life at this moment, and she couldn't be happy for half a minute, she asked her grandfather: "But he will have harem beauties in the future, and there will be a group of concubines, grandpa, I would rather not have such a man." ”
Hearing this, Grandpa Bai smiled and said nothing, only stretched out his hand to pinch her delicate little face, and then said lightly: "Girl, the future is far more complicated than you think, if you want him to live, you can only let go of paranoia and pride, and do your best to help him." ”
"Grandpa is saying that Zhan Qianche may die?"
"The change of dynasties, the world changes hands, with how many killings and deaths, if he fails, he can only die, and you will return to modern times with failure, as for the world, it will gradually be destroyed in the smoke of war."
"So...... Is this a battle that can only be won, not lost? I'm a little girl with a whole world on my shoulders? ”
Bai Qian's eyes were stunned and incredulous, she couldn't help but take two steps back before she said again: "But grandpa, why do those ancestors who signed the contract think that we can protect this world?" ”
Bai Qianning only felt that the top of her head was like a golden tripod at the moment, she didn't dare to imagine that Zhan Qianche would die, the Xu family, the Lin family, Xiaodouding, Grandma Zhao...... Every living life in Zhaojia Village will die out in the war because of her mistakes.
Grandpa didn't answer her, and when he disappeared, only one sentence remained: "Girl, grandpa believes in you" echoed in the mountain stream.
Only then did Bai Qianning know that it turned out that his grandfather was only able to enter the space for a short time by relying on his consciousness.
Holding Xiao Tangyuan out of the space, Bai Qianning sat up from the bed violently, and her grandfather's words still echoed in her heart.
She saw Xiao Douding running in from the outhouse with a smile, and asked her happily, "Mother, are you awake?" ”
She pulled Xiao Douding closer to her arms as if she was stunned, carefully kneaded Xiao Douding's little face, and murmured with tears: "Well, it's good to be alive, it's good that you are here." ”
Xiao Douding didn't know why, but she thought that her mother had a nightmare, stretched out her little hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and patted her shoulder like a little adult, and coaxed: "Mother, don't be afraid." ”
.......
Following
Bai Qianning brought food to Zhan Qianche, and her face had changed to a calm and indifferent expression.
Bai Qianning put the food on the table, set up two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and sat down at the table with Zhan Qianche as usual.
Zhan Qianche looked at her, there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he couldn't help but rejoice.
He originally thought that the last time they said such ruthless words, his shallow condensation would definitely not appear again, just like yesterday, put down his food, and refused to even show up, but he didn't want to, she still came, and he didn't even shy away from contacting him anymore.
Zhan Qianche couldn't help but call her: "Qianning ......." wanted to ask something, but the conversation was snatched by Bai Qianning.
Bai Qianning scooped him a bowl of Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup and handed it to him, with a rare smile on his face.
"I've thought about it, I'll take back what I said the day before, I'm ...... I am willing to wait for you, wait for you to return from a great victory, and then marry me with ten miles of red makeup. ”
"Really?"
Zhan Qianche's eyes were filled with countless joys, he moved to sit next to Bai Qianning, held her shoulders with both hands, and asked several times in disbelief: "Qianning, you are really no longer angry and want to break our relationship, are you really still willing to marry me?" ”
"Hmm!"
Bai Qianning nodded, she felt every trace of emotion in Zhan Qianche's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that she still couldn't forget the words she overheard that day, she was afraid that she would really fall into Zhan Qianche's eyes at this moment.
Bai Qianning couldn't help but ask herself if Zhan Qianche really loved her, but when this idea came up, she forced herself to withdraw her illusions, just gently pushed Zhan Qianche away with her body hugging her, raised a reluctant smile, and comforted him: "Okay, let's eat first, after eating, I'll look at your knees for you, I'm still waiting for you to heal your injuries as soon as possible, and come back to marry me after winning the battle." ”
"Well, good! You eat too. ”
Zhan Qianche happily sandwiched a chopstick dish for her, and then picked up the Lingzhi chicken soup that Bai Qianning had just scooped for her and drank it all, and then picked up the food in the bowl very obediently.
If it was a change of the past, it would be impossible for him not to notice the reluctance in Bai Qianning's expression, but at this moment he was too happy, and this joy of losing and regaining made him choose to forget all suspicions and judgments.
And Bai Qianning saw him like this, but he was silently stunned in his heart.
She was reluctant to let him die, so she was willing to wronged herself, stayed by Zhan Qianche's side, and listened to him lie to her that she loved herself.
......
After eating,
Bai Qianning carefully checked the growth of his kneecaps for Zhan Qianche, most of the bones had already grown, according to the current situation, in another five or six days, Zhan Qianche would be able to try to walk without the help of supports, as for the complete growth of the bones, it would only be a matter of half a month.
She told Zhan Qianche about the situation, and when she saw that his eyebrows were clear, her eyes were full of warmth and joy when she looked at herself.
Bai Qianning hurriedly avoided his eyes, and asked again, "Are you going to set off when your leg is healed?" ”
"It's still uncertain, when Mu Yan finds out whether the imperial court is suspicious of Bai Shao, I will decide whether to join Bai Shao as soon as possible."
"Oh! Well, take advantage of this time to prepare more grain, grass and money for war. ”
Bai Qianning smiled faintly, but did not ask Zhan Qianche if he was willing to take her with him, because whether Zhan Qianche agreed or not, since she shouldered the responsibility of the world, it was inevitable that she would go.
But what Zhan Qianche thought was exactly the opposite of her, if he wanted to protect her, he couldn't take her with him. If so, he also tacitly did not mention it, but answered: "What are you going to do?" ”
"These days you are not here, I have set up a number of factories outside, and the first batch of silver money should be in the account soon, as for food and military medicinal materials, I can plant them on any piece of land."
In order not to make Zhan Qianche have scruples, Bai Qianning replied very easily.
