Life: XVII

Although the Beidi people live by grazing, although their cattle, sheep and horses are strong, in winter, if they encounter harsh weather, it is difficult to make a living. The climate and land of Beidi are not suitable for farming, and the common people cannot accumulate food for the winter, so after autumn, the imperial court of Beidi wants to send soldiers and horses to occupy a place in the beam and find a way out for the people of their country.

Beidi people think well, but the people of Daliang are also the people, and the small Liangcheng is also the land of Daliang, if Liangcheng is lost, then thousands of people in Liangcheng will suffer, and the northern enemy will occupy their homes, rob their property, and even take their lives. Taking a step back, Liangcheng may also be just the beginning, people's hearts have been greedy since ancient times, and the Beidi people have Liangcheng, and they will think about other cities, one after another, it is difficult to fill the hearts of the superiors who are full of ravines.

Su Zhi is a soldier, a soldier can understand the truth that every inch of land cannot be lost better than ordinary people, and he also knows that he is not only protecting his own country and his official position, but also guarding thousands of families in Liangcheng, as well as his small family and his beloved wife.

Zhiwen's father died, and he achieved a temporary victory for that battle, but it did not mean that the Beidi army was completely wiped out, and it did not last long, and the Beidi people made a comeback and continued to come towards Liangcheng.

This time, the superior of Beidi seemed to have made up his mind, sent more soldiers than any before, and made more preparations than any before, Su Zhi led the generals to fight with the northern enemy for many days and failed to drive them back, but instead lost the troops and defeated all the way, and retreated straight to Liangcheng.

Over the years, Beidi has often invaded Daliang, and the common people know that there are officers and soldiers guarding outside the city, and they will not be so nervous, only when the army is really pressed under the city of Liangcheng, the people living in the city can really feel its crisis.

At this time, there must always be a belief in the hearts of the common people, and that faith will support them to think that Liangcheng will definitely win, and the Beidi soldiers will definitely retreat.

Obviously, today's Su Zhi is the belief in the hearts of the people, he has the experience of repeatedly defeating the Beidi soldiers, people feel that as long as Su Zhi is there, they can sleep peacefully, Liangcheng will definitely be able to live, and their homes will not be violated.

Shi Qiu also has full confidence in Su Zhi, but unlike others, every time he fought before, others could only see Su Zhi's victory, but Shi Qiu could see how much he had worked hard, how many times he had escaped death, and how many scars he had on his back, so Shi Qiu knew that guarding Liangcheng was not a simple matter, and in the eyes of others, it was just a soldier and an excellent general who rushed forward, but every time there was a war, it was her husband and all that rushed forward in Shi Qiu's eyes.

The Beidi army was under the city, the gate of Liangcheng was closed, Su Zhi sat under the lamp all night, discussed countermeasures with his subordinates, and never took off his clothes when he slept, his silver shining armor was placed on the side of the bedroom, and he was ready to wear it at any time to fight a bloody battle with the northern enemy.

On the first day of the siege, Su Zhi led his soldiers to resist on the city wall, and he was able to get to this day not by luck, but with real ability.

Shi Qiu, a woman, also knew that if he only relied on the strength of Liangcheng this time, it would be difficult to repel the northern enemy, Su Zhi sent three messengers to deliver letters in a row, and asked for help along the path towards the nearby city, what he had to do now was to firmly hold Liangcheng, and when the reinforcements came, Liangcheng would be saved.

Often at this time, Shi Qiu felt that she was useless, she could neither ride a horse and shoot arrows, nor could she strategize the art of war, so she could only watch Su Zhi be puzzled day by day.

The current problem is not something that can be solved with a few words of soft-spoken persuasion, what Shi Qiu can do is to take good care of her husband.

When others asked, they only asked if Master Su had won the battle? Or what exactly is the arrangement for repelling the Beidi soldiers? What Shi Qiu asks every day is whether Su Zhi has eaten a bowl of rice, and the placket of his cotton clothes is already soaked, has he taken it off and dried it?

Shi Qiu felt that if she prayed to God to work, she wished that she would be the one who went to the battlefield, even if she was missing arms and legs, or could not come back alive, she would have to do her best to get through the current difficulties with him.

Su Zhi's days of defending the city changed from one day to three days, and from three days to ten days, and when reinforcements came, the soldiers in the city gradually lost confidence, and Su Zhi alone could bring them a moment of hope, but it was difficult to reverse the current extremely dangerous situation.

Originally, he told Shi Qiu that it was the gentleman of the private school who left him to teach his homework, and the articles he had learned recently were very important, so Mr. asked him to stay at home to study day and night, and the master and apprentice could talk face to face at any time.

But after a day or two, Shi Qiu felt that Zhiwen should always come back, but Zhiwen still didn't go home, Shi Qiu went to Mr. Private School's house to look for it, but the gentleman looked dazed, obviously not knowing what Zhiwen said about teaching homework.

At this time, Shi Qiu became worried, thinking that there was some accident in Zhiwen, and called someone to look for Liangcheng back and forth, but he couldn't find it, so he told Su Zhi about it, but Su Zhi was silent and didn't speak.

At the same time, the reinforcements that Liangcheng had been waiting for a long time finally came, and the leader of the soldiers was a half-old child, who used a pigeon to communicate with Su Zhi in the city.

At this moment, the siege of Liangcheng was solved, and the moment the city gate was opened, Shi Qiu stayed behind the city gate, watching Su Zhi and Zhiwen ride back with **, and his heart was full of emotion. I have to say that when people who first came to Liangcheng saw it, they all thought that Zhiwen was Su Zhi's biological son, Shi Qiu looked at it with tears in his eyes, thinking that if Xiao Bao'er was there, he must be very happy to see his father and brother majestic and safe.

All the crises were finally put down, and this night Su Zhi ate a meal peacefully, relaxed and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was faced with not only the laughter and laughter of Liangcheng's salvation, but also Shi Qiu stroked his stomach and told Su Zhi that there was another child who belonged to them.

The sudden child made Su Zhi's heart burst into ecstasy, and he hugged Shi Qiu back and forth in the house several times, not knowing how to be intimate, and finally carefully put her down, reminding Shi Qiu to eat more for the umpteenth time, complaining that Shi Qiu's body was too slender and too weak, afraid that she would not be able to bear the torture of a child.

Like a child, Shi Qiu vowed in front of Su Zhi to eat well, rest well, and raise their children, which is the heaviest responsibility she has on her shoulders now.

Life has given too many ups and downs, and slowly everything is beautiful again, Shi Qiu sat in the yard, liked to watch the brave and careful writing, and had to endorse under the tree after class, thinking about listening to the old man often say, when you are pregnant, you will learn what the child will learn if you look at it more, Shi Qiu said to her belly that has not yet bulged, look at your brother more, and grow up like your father and brother.

The article is also very careful, an article for Shi Qiu to read back and forth several times, and told Shi Qiu that if the little brother can't, he will teach him when the little brother grows up.

When Shi Qiu heard this, he laughed a few times and asked Zhiwen: "How do you know that it is a little brother, what if it is a little sister?" ”

After listening to it, Zhiwen actually thought about it carefully, and was a little embarrassed. "If it's a younger brother, I, as a brother, can teach him more seriously, if it's a little sister, I don't know what to do when she cries."

Shi Qiu chuckled, "I learned this from your father-in-law, I think he couldn't see others cry the most back then." ”

Zhiwen was puzzled: "I think my mother is the strongest woman in the world, as if no matter how big a setback can not defeat you, but my father-in-law said that your heart is the most fragile, and you can no longer withstand a little twists and turns, he also said that when I met you, you cried, and as soon as you cried, he remembered it for many years and could not forget, and after getting married, he couldn't stand your crying, and his father-in-law said that when you cried, he was soft-hearted and didn't know what to do." ”

Shi Qiu listened, his face was slightly red, the execution was already big, and some things could be understood, Shi Qiu couldn't help but reproach Su Zhi and said: "I see that your father-in-law will be old and confused when he is in his thirties, what are you doing with the same child." ”

Zhiwen said: "My father-in-law wants me to take good care of you when he is away." ”

"I see you in the morning and evening throughout the day, just a little bit of work during the day, where you still need someone to take care of, he doesn't know, I'm not a squeamish person."

Zhiwen said: "It is said in the book, there is a sentence called "care is chaos", it is the father-in-law who cares too much about his mother, so he will always think about you,"

Listening to some flattering words in his ear, Shi Qiu stretched out his hand and nodded Zhiwen's head, and scolded with a little smile: "A good child, don't learn some bad things from your father-in-law, if you learn your homework well, you want to serve the country, not to be flamboyant." ”

Zhiwen was listening carefully, but saw Shi Qiu looking at the leaves on the tree and recalled: "When I saw your father-in-law for the first time, I obviously thought he was a sincere person, but I didn't expect that when I got older, people became slippery. ”

When Shi Qiu said these words, in fact, Zhiwen wanted to favor his father-in-law, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and silently recited the truth that his father-in-law had taught him, "Everything your mother said is right. ”

Zhiwen thought this in his heart, as if in order to convince himself, he repeated it again. "Mother is right about everything."

When Shi Qiu heard this, he said helplessly: "This sentence is ten out of ten taught by your father-in-law." ”
