It was noon when the two of them arrived at the girl's home on the outskirts of the city, and the warm sunlight dispelled the fog that had risen since the early morning, bringing a rare warmth in late autumn to the people in the north.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a mud room and a thatched house in a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences, and several local chickens are walking back and forth between the stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard, which looks very pleasant.

After the two of them pushed the cart into the courtyard, the girl quickly grabbed a handful of grain from the basket hanging on the eaves, and threw it at the chickens with pleasure, and kept making a "cooing" sound in her mouth.

Seeing the local chickens scrambling to peck at the food, she patted the dust in her hand with satisfaction, took Lu Ziyu's hand and ran into the earthen embryo room.

"Hey......" Lu Ziyu, who was watching those local chickens eating with interest, was directly pulled by the girl and stumbled.

"It's Xiaohua back......" As soon as the girl pushed open the door, an old woman's voice came from the room, and her weak tone was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Lu Ziyu looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an old woman lying on the kang in the corner of the house, with a withered yellow face and thin body, which looked like she should have been in bed for a long time.

"Auntie." Lu Ziyu said politely.

"Who is this strong man?" The old woman looked at the girl with some confusion.

I saw the girl sitting in front of the kang, giving the old woman a serious gesture, and from time to time she made a muffled voice, looking very excited.

Although Lu Ziyu couldn't understand what the girl was expressing, the old woman understood everything, she shook her head slightly, and looked at Lu Ziyu in disbelief: "Strong man...... The strong man is really the king of Beiyang, Chitose?! ”

"It's good for my aunt to call me Ziyu." Lu Ziyu smiled and nodded.

"Old man...... It is the king of Beiyang...... It was the king of Beiyang who saved our little flower and relieved our little flower, did you see it? The agitated old woman suddenly shouted, and kept tapping the futon.

"Auntie, ...... you are"

The old woman's mourning made Lu Ziyu a little overwhelmed, and even the girl who had always liked to laugh hurriedly came to the old woman, she frowned distressedly, and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of the old woman's eyes.

After a long time, the old woman gradually calmed down, she looked at Lu Ziyu with relief and gratitude, "Chitose, it's not that I don't know the rules, it's just that my legs have been paralyzed for many years, and it's really difficult to give this gift again...... Florets. The old woman gave the girl a solemn look.

After the girl understood the old woman's meaning, she immediately knelt down on Lu Ziyu, and then knocked hard.

"Hurry up, what are you doing here? How can Ziyu withstand such a big gift, I just taught a few splashes a lesson. Lu Ziyu hurriedly helped the girl up, upright and kind-hearted, he looked embarrassed.

"Those pimples are well-known bullies in Tongzhou City, our family is stubborn, what would have happened if Chitose hadn't been there that day...... It's hard to say. The old woman shook her head and sighed, and then said meaningfully: "Xiaohua's kneeling today is not only for Chitose, but also for the old prince." ”

"I ...... My father? Lu Ziyu couldn't help frowning.

"Hmm......" The old woman nodded movingly, and her eyes full of pride at the moment covered the old tears that wanted to slip: "When my old man is alive...... It was also the famous Beiping Army. ”

"Uncle, he...... It's the Beiping Army! Lu Ziyu's eyes widened, and a kind of kindness of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country instantly surged into the heart of this man who valued love and righteousness.

The old woman touched her tears and smiled with relief: "It's ridiculous, he was originally a showman, and he was ...... back then It was my father who taught him to read, but his life was not that famous, he liked those things that fought and killed since he was a child, and on the day of his wedding, he also said to me, "The big husband should pull the bow and plug the outside, and build an immortal honor." 'Anyway...... I can't do anything about this person who has been stabbed with a thousand knives. The old woman smiled and burst into tears.

"After having a small flower, he left us two and left, this walk is more than ten or twenty years, until two years ago finally gave him back, he said that the old prince felt that he was weak, and he was old, so he wanted him to go home and rest, don't live the days of licking blood at the tip of the knife, snow blowing and frosting, I can't imagine how bitter the days of the border pass are, just look at his hair...... It's all white. ”

"After he came back, he told me, our family must remember the old prince's good life, if it weren't for the old prince, his life would have been gone, one winter, the wind was particularly cold, his body was weak, and he had chilblains in the barracks, and then gradually deteriorated, he had begun to have a fever, delirium, he thought that he must be dead this time, but who would have thought that the old prince would personally ...... after learning about his situation Suck pus for him...... Boiled medicine for him, he ...... That's when a life was saved. ”

"He has always liked to brag to me about how he is, but I know that he is just a little guard by the old prince's side...... The Chitose King of the Daning Dynasty sucked pus on a small guard, which ...... This is unprecedented! The speechless old woman closed her eyes, and her gratitude was to the extreme, probably like this.

"And what about later? Old man, he ......," Lu Ziyu, who was in tears, choked up.

"A few days after returning home, as soon as he heard the news that Liangqiang Pass had fallen and the imperial court was fighting with the Yuansu people in the north, he hurriedly returned to the Rinfeng Pass, I stopped him and didn't want him to go, he said, 'I am the old prince's personal guard, the old prince is going to war, how can there be no me by his side' I have no way, and I can only hope that he can come back as soon as possible, and later, the people from the yamen came, he gave me a burden and said, 'King Beiyang...... encountered an ambush, and everyone was killed, which was sent by the Beiping army...... Dong Xiwen's stuff. I opened the baggage, and there were two little golden lumps and a letter, which the old man had saved from twenty years' military pay, and he said that he would use it as a dowry for the little flower.

Aunt Dong, who has been paralyzed in bed all the year round, has never said so many words like today, from Dong Xiwen when he was a child to when they got married, from Dong Xiaohua's birth to Dong Xiaohua's adulthood, from Dong Xiwen's joining the army to his death in battle with the old prince.

And Lu Ziyu also learned the reason why Dong Xiaohua couldn't speak from Aunt Dong's mouth.

It turned out that because Dong Xiwen was not at home all the year round, the burden of family life was all on the shoulders of Aunt Dong, in order to make a living, she would go to the mountains to chop firewood and sew clothes for other people's families to subsidize the family, so it was difficult to see the young Dong Xiaohua all the time, and she was ignorant when she was three years old and could no longer speak after eating a poisonous grass.

And since the news of Dong Xiwen's death in battle came, Aunt Dong couldn't accept such a sad reality for a while, and her spirit inevitably became in a trance.

But the cruel reality did not crush the poor mother and daughter, Dong Xiaohua, who was disabled and strong, resolutely shouldered the burden of life, she followed the uncle in the neighboring village to learn the technique of baking flax cakes, bought a cart, found someone to build a stove, and began to sell flax cakes, for these she secretly melted half of the golden lumps.

But these are just the beginning, she can't speak, she won't shout, she won't shout, there will be no guests, to this day Dong Xiaohua still remembers that no one came to her stall on the first day she set up her stall, it was still a cold winter, from Mao Shi to Hai Shi, she was weak and helpless and almost unconscious, but even if the reality was so ruthless, this strong girl never thought of giving up.

She couldn't speak, but she silently vowed in her heart that she would put her stall up no matter what, because now she was the only hope in this scarred family.

Later, she used three flax cakes and a basket of eggs to ask Xiucai in the village to inscribe the word "cake" for her, and asked him to help her shout in front of the stall for more than half a month, and her stall gradually had a business.

Spring goes to autumn, cold comes and goes, in summer, she is sweating from the heat wave when she keeps working in front of the stove, and in winter, she is alone and she is blown cold by the cold wind from all directions, and her weak shoulders are also ground out of thick cocoons because of the heavy hemp rope pulled all year round.

Heaven always blesses those who are sincere.

Her business is getting better and better, and word of mouth has gradually spread all over the streets and alleys of Tongzhou City, and she bought some chickens to raise in the yard when she earned money.

But some people can't see that others are good, and those three scoundrels who ate her cake not only didn't give money, but also shouted that it was not delicious, and scolded her.

There were tears in her eyes, although her stall began to make money, but every penny of her money was not easy to earn, and she would rather give her hard-earned bread to a poor stray dog than let this kind of scum waste it.

But she is just a little girl, a dumb girl who can't even fight, even though God gave her a kind and strong heart, but did not give her a body sufficient to fight against the injustice of this world, she is destined to have no way to take those scoundrels, but she still does not give in, she looks at them, she tugs at the sleeve of the scoundrel, that is all she can do in the face of injustice.

The sudden kick hit her in the stomach, and the tears in her eyes almost fell, and at that moment, she almost ...... is about to bow his head to reality, but even the author himself can't actually understand and describe how sad and joyful Dong Xiaohua was in his heart when he saw Lu Ziyu appear.

His chic movements, handsome face, sincere smile, and modest blush were all deeply imprinted in Dong Xiaohua's heart. For her, Lu Ziyu is so amazing, shining in her lackluster years.

Although Lu Ziyu did not leave his name, there were still people in the crowd who recognized him, and at that moment, she was excited, and she hurriedly asked the guests around her who could write to write the words "King of Beiyang" in the palm of her hand. In order to express her gratitude, she would go to the steamed bun stall of the Beiping Army every day to help, and after helping, she would rush to the military camp of the Beiping Army to deliver flax cakes to Lu Ziyu like a thief.

Every time she went, her heart pounded.

When she told Aunt Dong about her encounter with Lu Ziyu, Aunt Dong told her that she must invite him to her house, because the Beiyang Mansion was a favor to their family...... Bigger than the sky.

That day, Lu Ziyu, who had mixed feelings in his heart, did not refuse the kindness of the two of them to leave him for dinner.

When Dong Xiaohua saw Lu Ziyu nodding in agreement, her honest and lovely face smiled like a blooming sunflower, real and warm.

In order to entertain Lu Ziyu, she killed an egg-laying hen for the first time, you must know that these native chickens are all her little ancestors on weekdays.

When the meal was served, Lu Ziyu thoughtfully lifted the stone table in the courtyard to Aunt Dong's kang, and the infinite strength couldn't help but amaze Dong Xiaohua and Aunt Dong, and also washed away the shame that he had just been bullied by a small cart.

A pot of chicken soup, a basket of flax cakes, a plate of cold sweet potato seedlings, that meal, the three of them ate happily around the stone table, the happiest of them should be Dong Xiaohua, because she has a stomach of words to say to Lu Ziyu, but she can't understand the meaning of her gestures, and Aunt Dong is different, from childhood to adulthood, she can see her meaning at a glance with all the movements and eyes of Dong Xiaohua, this wisdom and tacit understanding comes from a mother's most unforgettable love for her daughter.

On the one hand, the honest and lovely peasant girl is holding chicken feet in one hand and holding chopsticks in the other, and on the other hand, Aunt Dong can't help but smile and accurately translate those ridiculous and sincere words, the cooperation of the mother and daughter makes Lu Ziyu's heart very warm, and a trace of imperceptible wetness hangs in the corner of his eyes, really, he has not experienced this kind of homely feeling for a long time.

When he came back, his mother was already seriously ill, eight years old on the horse, fourteen years old to lead the army to fight, the wind pass of the Rong Ma so that Lu Ziyu and his kind and majestic father always gather less and leave more.

To this day, he still remembers that when he told his father that he would take 3,000 people to garrison Qinzhou, the last words his father gave him was, "I don't care about you for how long you stay in Qinzhou, but when all the Yuansu people withdraw from Qinzhou one day, you have to let me hold my grandson." ”

"Hey, okay."

Who has ever been to this side, but after that is the separation of heaven and man.

Lu Ziyu, who never knew what it was to admit defeat, could lead the 20,000 Beiping army to defeat the 100,000 yuan Su Iron Cavalry, he could pick Yan Shanhu with one shot in the chaos, or he could fight against Mu Zhixun's entire Daning behind him for the sake of the love in his heart.

But every full moon night, his eyes are always red......
