Chapter 35: Old Things
Kite hurriedly hid the tub behind her.
Yu Yuexi grabbed her and asked loudly: "I ask you, what is that?" ”
The kite is silent!
Yuexi was very frightened, she saw the water in the wooden basin, full of bright red, thinking that she had not seen Luo Xi for nearly a month, thinking that the fine sweat that kept flowing down the mountain that day even if she was carried by Boya on her forehead, and now she saw the water in this wooden basin, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, she could only ask the woman in front of her higher than one voice, wanting to deny her thoughts from the words in her mouth.
She just grabbed the kite's shirt, and her voice trembled a little: "Say! What is that? ”
"Recently, Kwai Shui, accidentally stained my clothes, and it was a little difficult to speak, so I asked the kite to clean it for me, what are you so nervous about? I was exposed in the middle of the night, and I was so thinly dressed, and I was not afraid of the cold!" Yu Luoxi draped the shirt over her shoulders.
Quietly making a color to the kite, she took the tub and left quickly.
"Really?" There was still panic in Yu Yuexi's eyes that had not yet faded.
Yu Luoxi comforted softly; "What's so good about this to deceive you, hurry back to the house, don't freeze."
She was suspicious, walked dozens of steps and turned back, and put her coat back behind Yu Luoxi: "You are weak, go back quickly!" ”
Yu Luoxi pulled her shirt, looked at her distant back, and took a deep breath, fortunately, the kite walked fast, even if Yuexi was still suspicious, she couldn't look through the clothes or trousers in the basin.
Early in the morning, Yu Luoxi was woken up by a huge knocking sound, and as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Mochen riding on the high wall connected to the two houses, holding the sledgehammer hard, and the stones on the wall were smashed and splashed in her courtyard, looking at the flowers and plants that had wilted under the corner, both regretful and helpless.
As soon as Mo Chen saw her, he shook his arm excitedly and greeted: "It's really ashamed to disturb the dreams of the disciples, but this wall is ridiculously high, people who don't know still think that there is something wrong between us, don't affect the harmony between our neighbors because of this, today I will smash the high part to make the height of the four sides the same." ”
She didn't bother to argue with him here, there were more important things to deal with today, so she told him to remember to help her fill up the flowers in her yard after smashing.
After a simple breakfast, Yu Boya went out with Yu Luoxi.
Although Moyang City is large, the residences of dignitaries and magnates are always gathered in one place, and it is also very easy to find.
At the gate of Gu's mansion, the two of them quietly waited for the person who went to report, and after a while, an old man came out and led them in.
In the hall, General Gu sent back the people around him and asked them to sit down at will.
Yu Luoxi looked at the elegant-looking middle-aged man in front of him, and sighed for a while, this famous general who guards the frontier is so gentle, not at all like a battlefield veteran who kills and dares to kill, but the one I saw in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, quite the momentum of a general, if it wasn't for the luck to meet the two, I'm afraid she would also admit it.
Yu Luoxi handed the letter to General Gu.
After a long time, General Gu smiled desolately.
"A companion is like a tiger!" He fought for half his life, and after all, he ended up like this.
Yu Luoxi suddenly knelt in front of General Gu.
General Gu and Yu Boya, who was sitting on the side, were all shocked.
"What is this girl, get up quickly!" General Gu hurriedly got up and helped.
Yu Luoxi stubbornly refused to get up, and respectfully bowed to General Gu, "General, you have devoted your life to protecting these thousands of people, and you deserve this worship." ”
Before he could say anything, her second bow had already fallen, her head hit the ground with a "bang", and when she looked up again, her forehead was already red and swollen.
This worship is her recklessness, she knows that once these things are handed over to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Gu Mansion will only become an old thing from now on, and it will become a talking point among restaurants and wine cups in the streets and alleys, and it will be criticized by others.
Such a general, who has made great contributions to the country and the people, can only end up scribbled, which is the most bleak, and all of this is because she acted too impulsively, and she feels deeply guilty.
General Gu was quite pleased, at least some people still remembered that he had fought hard all his life to protect the stability of the next party, and some people were grateful to him for loving him, and he was content.
He helped Yu Luoxi up.
In fact, she is no wonder about this, because as early as three days ago, he received a secret order from the emperor, asking him to lead troops to the northern Xinjiang to guard.
In his life, he had a great record of success, won many battles, and was praised by the world as a victorious general, but his only failure was the battle a year ago.
Fighting on the battlefield all the year round, accustomed to seeing the scene of rivers of blood, in his heart, are a little numb, every time he triumphs, come to receive the remains of the soldiers killed in the war, every tear in their eyes is far sharper than the swords, guns, swords and halberds on the battlefield, whenever that time, he will ask himself, leading troops to fight, just for the emperor to expand the territory?
So that time, when the leader of the other side sent a messenger to deliver a truce, he gladly accepted it, he did not want his soldiers' families to see a silent and cold body, every soldier under his account was someone else's son, husband, and father, and he could not bear that they would not have time to enjoy all the beauty of this world, so he sacrificed himself under the greed for the king.
He has always sought the peace of the country and the people.
Who would have thought that it was a conspiracy.
He was completely defeated in that battle.
When the army returned, the high monarch asked him for military power in front of the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs, and from then on, he knew his final fate, but he never thought that this would come so quickly.
He knows what it means to be a meritorious master, and he knows how righteous emperors have been since ancient times, but he never thought that in order to get rid of himself and take back the military power, he would collude with foreigners to push his millions of soldiers to death.
Therefore, when he received the secret order to send himself to the northern frontier, his heart was like ashes, and he never expressed any dissatisfaction, he just hated, hated that he had recognized the wrong king in this life, and had no shame to face the wronged souls of his millions of soldiers.
"Gu is already a half-dead person, it is not a pity to die, but there is a dog under his knees, the year of dancing elephants, I can't bear to end his life hastily, if I can, Gu is willing to let the dog worship under the girl's door, take care of the family and the hospital, chop wood and carry water, even if he does nothing all his life, it doesn't matter, as long as he can live." At this time, he is just a father, and he is no longer a high-ranking general.
Father's love is forbearant and silent.
Yu Luoxi was a little touched, and wondered if her parents were also doing their best to protect themselves.
She nodded in agreement.
That Gu family's son, she has seen it.
"Gu has one more matter, I hope the girl will solve her doubts!"
