Dongting Spring Festival Gala, the curtain is full of warblers and swallows, getting up late in the morning, Xiao Qiao lightly swept the willow eyebrows, and suddenly saw Aunt Zhou walking in with soup, and said with a loving smile: "I skimmed off the chicken soup that I just boiled, and I skimmed off the fat, and added a few Chinese medicines to suppress the fishy smell, it is very light, Mrs. Taste it." ”

Xiao Qiao had a poor appetite from the beginning of her pregnancy, and she felt disgusting when she smelled meat, but she didn't want to refute Aunt Zhou's hard work, so she took the celadon bowl with a smile and stirred the spoon, but she couldn't say anything: "Auntie, do you know where Zhou Lang went?" I didn't see him when I woke up in the morning. ”

Xiao Qiao was asking, Zhou Yu didn't know where to come back, opened the curtain, still holding a delicate small bamboo basket in his hand, and said to Xiao Qiao with a smile: "Madame refuses to eat well, I asked someone to buy a basket of sour apricots from Bonan and came back, you smell it, do you still like it?" ”

Xiao Qiao had already smelled the faint sweet and sour taste in the air, and was aroused: "I was thinking about this smell, you can buy it, give me a ......"

Zhou Yu refused, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can't skip dinner, just eat snacks when you see the sky?" Drink the soup first, drink it and eat it. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu took the bowl and blew it carefully to feed Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao was very ashamed in front of Aunt Zhou, and lowered her eyes to take it.

Someone suddenly reported outside the door, Zhou Yu gently pinched Xiao Qiao's slippery little face, got up and walked out. Xiao Qiaoben*, but he was suddenly taken aback by Zhou Yu's conversation with that person, only to hear Zhou Yu was very shocked, and his tone involuntarily raised eight points: "What did you say?" It's rumored outside, the lord died in ambush? ”

Xiao Qiao's hand holding the spoon trembled, and she almost dropped the bowl, she stood up her little ears, only listened to Zhou Yu muttering for a moment, and said faintly: "You go and check, who is spreading rumors, and who is instructing behind the scenes, once it is verified, it will be severely punished." ”

Xiao Qiao calmed down, picked up the spoon again, and planned to continue drinking the soup, but there was a rush of footsteps in the front hall, and the little girl shouted the letter from Gusu, and panted and sent the letterhead to Zhou Yu.

Somehow, after Zhou Yu opened the letterhead, he stood on the cloister, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Xiao Qiao couldn't see his expression clearly through the gauze curtain, and could only see his long back reflecting a lonely begonia, which made people feel a little kinky. Xiao Qiao hurriedly took Aunt Zhou's hand and walked out, walked around to Zhou Yu's side, and called in a low voice: "Zhou Lang......"

Zhou Yu's heart fluctuated, his expression was full of disbelief, and when he heard Xiao Qiao's call, he slowly came to his senses, took Xiao Qiao's hand, and clenched it tighter and tighter, before he spoke: "Mrs. Lao Fu took her subordinates to clean up, and we ...... Go back to Gusu ...... I'll ride my horse first, and I'll set off now, and my wife has a body, so I'll follow slowly......"

Although Zhou Yu was still trying his best to plan and arrange, Xiao Qiao clearly felt that he was different from usual, and his eyes that had always been full of ambition were full of incomprehension, confusion, and bottomless anger and sadness.

Xiao Qiao had never seen Zhou Yu like this, and his boneless little hand also held his big hand tightly, and replied obediently: "Okay...... Just, why is it so sudden? ”

"Wan'er...... You've got to be ready, too, Birforda...... He died of his injuries, and Zhong Mou wrote a handwritten letter calling me to return to Gusu immediately. Madame Jo must be grieved, so stay with her......"

Xiao Qiao's apricot eyes widened in shock, raised his hand to cover his mouth, his eyes were full of tears at some point, Zhou Yu couldn't say anything comforting, sighed and sighed, and told Aunt Zhou, who was also crying: "I'm tired of Aunt Wan'er taking care of Wan'er, I'll set off." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu walked quickly through the courtyard, summoned the white horse to turn over, and jumped out like a gallop. The spring breeze is warm, blowing head-on, but Zhou Yu feels cold like ice, his always smart and clear mind is like a wood at this time, no matter how he thinks about it, he can't think clearly: on that thin letterhead, it is Sun Quan's own handwriting, the font is strong and trembling, and it is written "Brother is dead, return quickly", like a heavy hammer, knocking on Zhou Yu's brain, but he doesn't want to believe that the brother who grew up with him and is like-minded has been separated from him forever.

Sun Ce is still so young, not yet twenty-six years old, and he still has unfulfilled ambitions, shouldn't he be dressed in silver helmets and gold armor at this time, full of spirit, and lead tens of thousands of troops north to attack Xudu? Zhou Yu couldn't think about Sun Ce's appearance lying in the coffin, and his mind couldn't help but echo the last time they were separated, they stood side by side on Mo, and said a few jokes, the flying young man couldn't wait for the day when they returned to the field and returned to the countryside with their beloved wife and daughter.

Thinking of this, the tip of Zhou Yu's nose was sour, all these years together, Sun Ce was the main minister for him, he was not willing to be under his command because of the friendship he grew up with since childhood, but for the common ambition of the two of them, for the ideal of a clear and happy world. Now that Sun Ce is gone, there is no one to fight side by side with him, the lotus halberd is hesitant and only he is alone, Zhou Yu is like the wind, and he unconsciously got into a cumulonimbus cloud, falling rain, dripping on Zhou Yu's handsome face, he doesn't know whether the water marks under his eyes are rain or tears, he doesn't care about wiping, he can't stop beating the horse, his ears are full of heavy rain and his throat is like a song, and it is a long song to cry.

As soon as Sun Ce went, there were also people inside and outside Gusu City, Sun Quan was young and in charge, and there were few military exploits, it was inevitable that there would be people who were disobedient, these days Zhang Zhao took him to visit several veterans and well-known squires, but the situation was still difficult to stabilize, it seems that many people have left, not to mention the warlords and bandits in the mountains of the counties under Sun Ce's command.

Since Sun Ce died, Da Qiao was sometimes awake and sometimes fainted, she didn't cry when she was awake, just stood next to the coffin, looking at Sun Ce, not for a moment, even if Shao'er cried Qiong'er called, she couldn't come back to her senses, her eyes only looked at Sun Ce fixedly, as if the fragrant soul also went with him, and only this beautiful body was left in the mortal world.

In addition to Da Qiao, Mrs. Wu also endured it and did not shed a single tear, which was in stark contrast to Sun Shangxiang's crying several times. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mrs. Wu has aged a lot all of a sudden, but she has experienced several funerals, and understands that the most important thing at the moment is to take care of everything clearly, and when Sun Quan returns home, she will call him to him and advise: "Your brother has stopped for fifteen days, and it is not good to delay it any longer, so let him be buried in peace according to the previous decision." ”

Sun Quan was ordered by his brother to take over the big responsibility, but he was not happy, and hesitated: "But...... None of the generals who were guarding the border have yet to return. ”

Mrs. Wu turned the Buddha beads, but her mind couldn't settle down, and she sighed: "The generals guarding the border have a long way to go, especially Gongjin, even if they keep hurrying day and night, it will take nearly ten days to arrive...... Don't wait, let your brother ...... Early...... Let's go into the ground. ”
