The sky soon darkened, and the lights were lit in the tents, and the light came through the small windows, intertwined in the air, and there was a hazy softness.

Guan Xiong entered the commander's water cow camp and asked, "General, everything is arranged, when will you attack?" ”

Bai Changjian stood in front of the small window, looking at the dark night outside, his eyebrows were full of sorrow, and he said half-loudly: "Tomorrow is the day of my sister's funeral, it will be set at dawn, let the war drums beat more passionately, I want to see my sister off!" ”

Guan Xiong responded yes and wanted to withdraw, but he couldn't help but say: "General, people can't be resurrected after death, you mourn and change." ”

Bai Changjian waved his hand, there was endless pain in his heart, and even more endless hatred, hating his father for marrying her to the king of Chu, hating that the king of Chu failed to protect her...... Perhaps, what kind of beloved wife is like a life is simply a pretense, the king of Chu has a grudge against his father, and his ex-fiancée has also returned, she has no use value, so she has become a victim.

He sighed in his heart, what would she be like at the age of seventeen, she had the appearance of a girl, when he left, she was still a childish, her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, now they have grown, she must be more beautiful than her mother. He imagined sketching her face, and his heart ached more and more.

After the nurse left, she once said that he was the only person who was good to her, in fact, for him, she was not, he didn't tell her, she was a round of warm sun in his heart, in those dark days, because of her, he didn't have so hard.

He is not a son-in-law, he is not valued, his father is full of power struggles, his mind is on the court, his mother is weak and incompetent, he hopes that his son will become a dragon, and he nagged in his ear all day long, to be motivated, to gain fame, to get ahead, to win glory for her, his sister is indifferent and selfish, only for himself, and he has a high-minded attitude that does not matter to anyone.

That year, he was twelve years old, he was already a teenager, because he was greedy for fun, he didn't do his homework, he couldn't memorize books, he was scolded by his master, the eldest lady took the opportunity to exert his power and punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall, it was a deep winter night, but the eldest lady didn't even give a futon, let him kneel on the cold ground, the room was very big and empty, the high platform in front was full of tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, revealing a gloomy atmosphere, he was timid and cowardly, he didn't even dare to raise his head, bent over and lying there, his heart was scared to death, he only hoped that someone would come to rescue him earlier.

But no one came, my mother didn't dare to come, my sister probably felt that he was embarrassed, and disdained to come, my father was out to socialize, and then I came back a little drunk, and I heard that he was punished, but oh, there was no follow-up.

He was hungry, cold and frightened, and he couldn't kneel anymore, and he curled up and fell to the ground, desperate in his heart, and hated this cold home. He clearly remembered that the wind outside that night was blowing very badly, whistling through the crack in the door, and then the door squeaked slightly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, but he heard her soft and glutinous voice, "Big brother." ”

That big brother was tantamount to heaven for him, he knew who she was, the most unpopular fifth sister in the house, he usually saw her, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but she came to see him at this time.

She slipped in like a cat, quietly approached him, took out a steamed bun from her arms and handed it to him, "Big brother, give it to you, I'm holding it in my arms, it's still hot." ”

He was so hungry that he hesitated for a moment, then took it with his frozen hand, said thank you, and leaned slightly sideways to eat. In fact, at that time, he felt that he had swept his face thoroughly, although he was a concubine, he was the eldest son, and he still had a slight status in the house, but he was reduced to receiving her favor.

When he finished eating the steamed buns, she took out another meat bun as if she was playing a trick and held it in front of him like a treasure, "Eat another one." ”

He was a little upset and asked her, "Why don't you give me meat buns first?" ”

She said, "I'm afraid that if you eat meat buns, you won't eat steamed buns, the nurse said, the brothers and sisters in the house are very nasty, only eat good, don't eat bad, if you eat meat buns, you will not eat steamed buns again, but if you don't eat more, you will be hungry, hungry is uncomfortable, I know that taste." She watched him eat the meat buns and couldn't help but swallow, "It's delicious." ”

His heart was very shocked, he didn't expect a little girl who was only four years old to say such a thing, he broke half of it and gave it to her, "You eat it too." ”

She blocked back, "I've eaten, I'm still full, big brother eats." ”

He asked, "It's so late, why don't you sleep, aren't you worried about running out of the nurse?" ”

She smiled with crooked eyebrows, very proud, "I slipped out quietly, and the nurse didn't know." ”

"Hurry back, it's cold at night, don't freeze."

She smiled slightly, and took out another thing for him, "The candy skin stuffed by the nurse, you can taste it, it's sweet and sour, but it's delicious." ”

He didn't like to eat snacks, and he was not interested in this peel that he had never heard of, so he pushed her hand back, "You can keep it for yourself, I don't like to eat these." ”

She took advantage of his unpreparedness, smiled and stuffed a piece into his mouth, tilted her head and waited for his reaction, what did he think at the time, he blushed, looked at her blankly, and looked a little helpless.

He didn't expect her to do this, and actually stuffed it into his mouth. He played elementary school rules, got along with his younger siblings, spoke and behaved elegantly, rarely had physical contact, and was a faint alienation, but she almost stuffed her fingers into his mouth, not embarrassed at all, just smiled a little silly, blinked his eyes and asked him, "Is it delicious?" ”

He chewed and swallowed it a few times, and his voice didn't sound like his own, "It's delicious." ”

She was happy, very satisfied with his answer, stuffed the rest of the candy skin into his hand, and took out a somewhat ugly hand stove and stuffed it to him, "I don't know who threw it away, I picked it up, the nurse said it can still be used, the big brother keeps it to warm his hands, I have to go, if the nurse finds out that I am gone, she will be worried." ”

He held those things and looked at her in a daze, unable to believe that she was a little girl who was only four years old, until she walked to the door, he gently instructed, "It's dark, be careful, don't fall." ”

She stood at the door and waved at him, smiling like a flower, "Big brother, don't worry, I'm used to walking at night." ”

The door creaked softly, and her tiny body flickered and disappeared into the night.

It was an extremely cold night, but for him, it was the warmest night in his twelve years, and she was like a lamp, bringing him light and warmth, and opening another window in his heart.

Later, for a long time, he was still cowardly and timid, but he no longer complained, no longer sighed at the injustice of fate, he had a change, he had some ideas and plans for the future, watching her grow up day by day, he finally made up his mind to leave, because he wanted to make himself better and come back.
