Chapter 56: I Can't Go Back to My Hometown
"Big brother."
Sending Ling Fu away, Fang Lian walked in and saw Fang Yan standing behind the bookcase, stroking an iron tire bow and pondering.
There were lampposts at the four corners of the military tent, and the thick white wax of the arm was dyed with brilliant red flames, reflecting the wrinkles on his Fang Yi's face one by one, and he was still handsome and proud.
Fang Lian was shocked: The brother who had been leaning on him and was as tall as a mountain was old.
"What would you do if you were you?" Fang Yan rubbed the bow frame and didn't look up.
Fang Lian's footsteps froze, and he was really stunned.
He ignored the military regulations and brought Ling Fu to come at night, he thought that his attitude was very clear, I don't know why the eldest brother still asked?
"You won't hesitate, will you?" Fang Yan said, "But I hesitated. ”
He leaned over, hung the iron bow on the wall, and couldn't hold the bowstring in his hand for a long time, with nostalgia in his eyes: "Ah Yi will definitely not agree." But if you and Ah Xian are replaced, you will definitely not hesitate - it is better to be young. ”
He raised his head and looked at the silver armored little general in the candlelight: heroic and magnificent. is probably what he and Rong Yi looked like when they first stepped into the barracks.
"Young people have the guts, they have the courage to do everything over, because they have the opportunity to turn everything upside down. Today, what Ah Yi didn't want to do, I did for him. If one day, there is something we can't do, I hope that you and Ah Xian will stand up and take your responsibility.
- Remember what I said today. ”
"Big brother." Fang Lian's heart seemed to be blocked with a ball of cotton.
Today's Fang Yan is depressed in every word, not like the usual majestic and rigid big brother. It was as if he had foreseen something, but he didn't want to say anything. Between turning around and raising his eyes, every action made Fang Lian feel sad, and at the same time, he felt deeply powerless because he couldn't share it with him.
Because the hero is never weak, if he shouts tired, then he must be really tired.
"Come with me to the horse race."
Fang Yan's hand finally left the iron bow, put away the rubbing documents on the case, raised his head and smiled, "It's been a long time since our brothers got together together, let me see if your bow horse has grown." ”
Light riding under the moonlight.
The horses' hooves had to go around the walls. When the soldiers defending the city saw the commander coming with leakage, they thought it was an inspection, and they clenched the iron spear in their hands and straightened their waists.
"You said that we are handsome, why is the family so good-looking, how were they born?" When the two of them had passed, the young soldier dared to exhale, still immersed in the scene he had just seen; The silver armor robe and rode it together, which made people break their hearts, "If I have a sister, and no one else marries, I must have the surname Fang." ”
"You're beautiful!" A veteran next to him took a sip with a smile, "Look at your bear-like, you really have to have a girl, what does it look like, and dare to think about our handsome!" ”
……
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll arrange it."
Fang Yan said: "You will go back to Yanzhou directly after a while." You are the general of the army, although Dong Chengyin is from our side and will not embarrass you, but in the military camp, he is not the only one. As a general, you must obey the rules and do not give authority to others. ”
"Yes, big brother." Fang Lian's words were very respectful. After shaking the reins for a while, he suddenly remembered something, because he was talking about family affairs with Fang Yan, "Yesterday I received a letter from Ah Mian's family, saying that Ah Xian and Le's family have reconciled. ”
"If you leave, you can leave." Compared with Fang Lian's emotion, Fang Yan was much more indifferent: "The eldest husband should act simply. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of what Rong Yi said in his book a few days ago, and he felt a feeling for a while, and the meaning was also heavy: "Ah Xian has grown up." ”
Fang Lian laughed: "He is thirty years old, and only the eldest brother will treat him as a child." ”
He was the youngest among the brothers, although he had followed Fang Yan for many years and had been trained calmly, he still had innocent warmth when he smiled. He was a little worried:
Ah Mian said that he saw the man...... Originally, Ah Xian returned from Chuzhou, and his mood has changed greatly. Make such a decision suddenly...... Probably, it's because he came back. ”
Fang Yan's face sank: "In the future, don't mention him again." ”
Back then, Princess Huai'an was turned out by people with ulterior motives, the two surnames declined, and the disciples in the clan were humiliated. At that time, he was already an adult, and he still has palpitations in his heart when he thinks about that unbearable past.
Letters have been exchanged for more than 1,000 miles, and it is inevitable that they will fall into the hands of speculators and make new articles.
"Yes." Fang Lian responded.
He has always been obedient to this eldest brother who is like a master and a father.
"I hope that my uncle will send him to Dongying, and everything will go well, and there will be no mistakes." Fang Yan sighed in the deep night under the moonlight.
Because he frowned, he looked at Fang Lian: "If you go to believe in Ah Mian, you will say that it is my order." and told him to inquire less about these things. Go to Rongfu more and listen to Ah Yi's teachings. ”
"Yes." Fang Lian's voice was not so loud this time, but he was a little worried.
Generals in the army are not allowed to leave without permission. Although Fang Lian found a good reason and got Dong Chengyin's permission, it was not appropriate to stay for a long time.
Seeing that Fang Yan didn't treat him very well today, he still came to accompany his brother again one day and obeyed the admonition.
The silver-armored young general chased the wind.
Fang Yan rode up the hill alone, and looked back, under the bright moon one day, the grass and trees were shaking because of the wind. It's the height of the year again.
Another year has passed.
He also wanted to go back to Jiankang to have a look. Although it rots.
***
He dreamed of returning to Chang'an.
The houses that floated among the clouds and mist, the old people who were smiling but could not see their faces clearly, as he had done many times before, stretched out his hand, and they were shattered.
So even in his dreams, he learned to just look from afar, and no longer chase desperately as he did when he was young, until he was exhausted and woke up crying.
woke up, and Chang'an was gone.
The Jin family is gone, Qiong Hualin... It's gone.
Jin Yanchen opened his eyes and looked at the mugwort curling above his head, like the fog that trapped him in a dream.
He raised his palm, turned it over and pressed it on the bed board, and secretly exerted: Xu Younan did not cut down on his healing medicine, his internal organs tended to be harmonized day by day, and his strength was also growing. Of course, it wasn't enough to recover to the point where he was now, but it was enough for him to use the knife.
Behind the curtains, a hint of jasmine overflowed, entangled with the smell of mugwort that filled the room.
Yun Yang, who was dressed in a heavy cut thin cicada silk, floated in like a cloud of pale red smoke, holding a bowl of warm and cool decoction in his hand, his voice was delicate and soft, and gentle to the bones:
"The sixth prince woke up? It's time to take your medicine. ”
Jin Yanchen should not.
Yun Yang was a little embarrassed, but he only smiled, and pulled open the heavy curtain blocking the window, so that the sky light could come in.
Today's weather is very good, and the pomegranate blossoms outside the window are also blooming, and Jin Yanchen will be in a better mood when he sees it.
"Sixth son, the medicine should be cold." She reminded again.
After getting along for a while, she has become accustomed to Jin Yanchen's silent style. No matter how indifferent he is, she can be by his side and look at him every day, and she feels satisfied.
Jin Yanchen turned over and sat up.
Yun Yang's feet seem to be nailed to the ground: Today's Jin Yanchen is very different!
He lost the sense of laziness and decadence, and his eyes became focused and focused. He stretched out his hand, put his long and powerful five fingers around the bowl of decoction, and said, "Yunyang, do you think that I am a fool who is very easy to deceive?" ”
