It was dawn before he fell asleep, and soon regained his senses, shook his head at his sister, who was sleeping next to him as a dead pig, and simply got up to prepare breakfast.

The sparrows were chirping and noisy, and Chi Ran carefully closed the door and waved a broom to drive them away.

The cabbage is beautiful, and the meat and pork are fragrant.

A pot of steaming pork and cabbage noodles, both brother and sister love to eat.

During the meal, Chi Ran shook his hands and stared at his reddish skin in silence for a while, recalling the light in Ping's hands last night, many things in his mind were disorganized, uneasy and excited chaotic thoughts.

"Pigeon—" Apple called out muttered.

"Hey, are you awake? Get up and eat. ”

Each bowl of eggs is placed on top of the noodles, and the chopsticks poke lightly, and the yolk is oily.

"Hmmm......"

Chi Ran put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his hands, and went to the house to grab Ping's two arms: "Come, one, two, three, up!" ”

The bed board creaked a few times, and she was pulled up, and fell down heavily, the whole person was soft and weak, and she didn't cooperate at all.

Failure to get out of bed.

Chi Ran made persistent efforts and chose to grab the quilt, but Ping simply hugged him.

"Get up, Apple." Chi Ran leaned down and whispered, she opened her eyes, the dark brown pupils of the man in front of her were trembling slightly, and the apples in the black eyeballs looked immature.

Chi Ran shook off Apple violently and turned around.

Waiting for Ping to wipe off her eye feces in a daze, Chi Ran had already recovered and sat aside to help her put on the "foot bag".

"Wait, I will definitely marry you off and let my in-laws fix you well."

"Huh? Then I'll burn them all......" She snapped her fingers, her fingertips lit up.

Chi Ran stepped back slightly: "Pingping, this will become a widow." ”

"Can't a widow remarry......"

Chi Ran gave her a shock: "Of course not." ”

The fire went out from her fingertips, and she covered her forehead with both hands.

"What if I marry the wrong one......

"My brother won't let you marry a bad guy." Chi Ran helped her put on her clothes and tie her belt, her movements a little slowly, "Fat, the belt doesn't fit—uh, let's go to dinner, Pingping?" ”

"Humph......"

After breakfast, Chi Ran and Ping sat at the gate and chatted a few words, and the carriage came with a sound.

"Brother has to go, Pingping, I'll send you a letter when I get there."

"Where are you going?"

"I won't tell you." Chi Ran grimaced, jumped into the carriage, and waved goodbye.

"Okay, Chi Ran, see you for the New Year!"

"It's my brother—"

The coachman spurred his horses, and the two horses raised their front hooves and pulled the carriage away, leaving Apple with a waving shadow.

"So fast." She muttered.

At noon, Aunt Lin bought vegetables and came back to cook, Ping saw her, nodded, and was silent as always, sitting alone at the gate, watching the passers-by passing by, her eyes were slightly warm.

＊＊＊

November.

A letter connects the border of Sand to the small town of Beide, and with it comes a cold-faced woman who hands the letter to Ping, the woman's fingers are scarred, and the envelope is full of plaster, and when it is opened, the letter inside is still intact.

Li Ping:

"Busy business, don't read it."

At the end, it is signed "Li Ransheng".

＊＊＊

Blood was gurgling through the cracks of the armor, the yellow sand was brewed, sticky piece after piece, the yellow sand in the sky was blown into the nostrils, and the twisted body on the ground did not respond, and the demand for breathing had long since been lost.

There was a feeble shouting and scolding from afar, whose head was carried and ran away, and the man's partner cut off his arm for military merit.

A piece of armor shook violently on the ground, and a sword was drawn from the corpse's abdomen, and after confirming death, the sword-wielder continued to move heavily, testing one by one, leaving bright red footprints.

Countless soldiers crowded one after another to bloom the flowers of the other side, and the brilliant colors were submerged under the yellow sand......

The sun and the moon appeared in the corner of the sky at the same time, both looking at each other dimly and lonely, while sighing at the strife between the Sand and the Tso. Thousands of years, but with each passing day.

"Li Ransheng, you go to die!"

The sword had no eyes, his shoulder was torn open in pain, Li Ransheng dodged, watching the person who had just attacked him fall, his abdomen pierced by the spear, and the partner behind him clutched the weapon tightly, and he tried for a moment but still didn't get the spear back, and roared angrily: "This bastard has rebelled...... What did you just post* stunned! ＊！ ”

"Li Ransheng", he gasped, covering the wound with one hand, his lips were white, his brain was dizzy for a while, and he couldn't see black and white in front of him.

Own...... I'm almost dead, and even I'm afraid I'm ......

Maxima brought the news of the war, and the emperor above the tall building felt cold even breathing, and his lungs throbbed. He turned around and patted the national teacher Le Qusen on the shoulder, and the provocation of the sand country was handed over to Le Qusen to solve.

At the same time, many people in the small villages in the north, near the Sand Country, packed their bags and hurriedly moved south.

The small-scale disaster on the border did not affect the singing and dancing of Luoyang, and there were still people playing small songs for music, and poets talked about national affairs, thinking that it was really stupid to think that the military general should be in the hundred-year plan......

"General Tang Qizhang ......"

"What general? He will never go to war......"

"Young and ignorant, but the ...... of royal blood"

"I will wait for the next year to gain fame and ...... for the country."

"Okay, Brother Wang is right, come, do it!"

"No, no, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk."

"Hahaha......"
