Chapter 1080: Promise
The sun rises from the east and sets from the west, so the sun rises at the same latitude in the northwest Shenjing City and the southwest town of Huangcheng, which are almost at the same latitude, and the time of the sun rises is about the same, but there is a very interesting difference between the two places.
That is, when the people of Shenjing City were still asleep, the people in the deserted city of Leizhou Town in the southwest had already gotten up and gone out for a walk.
Because of the vast territory of Great Xia, which directly spans the entire vast land of Shenzhou from south to north, the temperature of Zhenhuang City, which is located in the south, is much higher than that of Shenjing City, and when the people of Shenjing City have just changed into light clothes, they have already worn short shirts in Zhenhuang City.
In the early morning, it rained in the deserted city of Southwest Town, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the ground paved with flat marble, making a crackling, like a symphony.
However, in this large southwestern city, the noise has far exceeded the sound of rain since the morning, because today is an important day.
Zhenhuang City officially welcomed the day when the people of the entire Great Xia frantically poured in!
In the middle of the town, in the courtyard area where the retired veterans are located, there is a pair of smooth feet, stepping on the rain-splashed stone road ground, trotting all the way, constantly leaving fleeting footprints on the ground, and the owner of these feet is a young girl with a round face and long hair.
The girl held a large orange umbrella in her hand, like a chrysanthemum blooming in full bloom against the black ground background, and after a while, the running girl turned a corner, reached out and grabbed the skirt, jumped up directly, and after rushing into a house nimbly, she began to call out loudly:
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!"
Between the extremely dense plants endemic to the southwest in the courtyard, the girl turned her head to look around as she spoke, and then a clear and steady response came from above:
"I'm here, Purple Moon. ”
After this voice fell, the round-faced girl named Ziyue raised her umbrella, moved her gaze to the bushes overhead that were full of golden fruits, and then locked her gaze on the shadow of a woman picking fruits on it, and continued to shout:
"Xiaoyi, when is this, are you still in the mood to break fruit here, we are going to take office today. ”
"The Valley of the Giants officially opens in the afternoon, so don't be in such a hurry. ”
After finishing speaking, above the trees, Jin Yi, a girl whose slender legs were stretched out to the sides and fixed her figure, reached out to break off the fruitful fruit on the side, and then threw it into the basket behind her with great precision, and the voice continued to say:
"Ziyue, you are still so reckless, how can you guide the people from all over the world who come to our town and deserted city, you know my father's violent temper, if you get into trouble, no matter how much you spoil you on weekdays, you will inevitably be reprimanded. ”
Hearing that Jin Yi mentioned the grumpy old Jin, Ziyue, who had two cute tiger teeth, subconsciously shrank her head, and then a little frightened response came out:
"Anyway, I'll follow behind you Xiaoyi, and besides, we are also the officials of the Guanyou Division who were personally canonized by the imperial court, and Uncle Jin and his old man don't want to reprimand me too much. ”
Speaking of her brand-new identity, Ziyue showed an extremely coquettish smile again, and then she stretched out her left hand, quickly beckoned to Jin Yi above, and continued to speak:
"Come down, Xiaoyi, I can't wait to put on that robe of the Touring Division. ”
"Okay, okay, here, I can't stand you. ”
Accompanied by the helpless voice of the girl Jin Yi, her sturdy body jumped down from the tall branches and landed steadily, and then Jin Yi shook off her extremely capable short hair, and the brows on her pretty face furrowed slightly, and she said with some reproach:
"Ziyue, why didn't you wear shoes and ran barefoot?"
"It's raining this morning, aren't I afraid of getting wet?"
While speaking, Ziyue pulled Jin Yi to the side under the eaves, and then carefully took out a pair of new and exquisite shoes from the cloth bag on his back, shook them in front of the latter's eyes, and continued to say:
"Such new shoes, before the Valley of the Giants opens, I can't bear it, besides, Xiao Yi, aren't you barefoot. ”
"I'm on the tree, can I do the same?"
When the words fell, these two girls, who were like southwest elves, looked at each other's smooth feet, and suddenly smiled at the same time, with a bright smile, just like the flowers of early summer.
Just when the two girls were smiling, the door next to the two of them was suddenly pushed open, and then Lao Jin's burly body slowly stepped out.
I saw that this veteran, who had made a lot of contributions in the Southwest War and retired with honor, took off the light armor of the Southwest Barbarian Army at this time, and put on a straight black robe of the Guanyou Division, and even the originally messy golden broken hair was specially taken care of, combed meticulously, at first glance, there was a majesty.
After Lao Jin stepped out of the door, he looked at the two girls on the side with the only remaining eye, coughed lightly, and pretended to speak majestically:
"I heard a little girl who was speaking ill of her own official and talking about the court officials, so bold!"
"What a great official, Uncle Kim!"
The girl Ziyue looked at Lao Jin, whose temperament had changed suddenly, smiled and teased, and then walked to the latter's side, stretched out her hand and patted Lao Jin's one-armed shoulder, and continued to speak:
"As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Uncle Jin, when you wear the official uniform of our court, you really seem to have changed as a person. ”
"Of course, although my old Jin retired from the army, he still has a lot of strength, and he can still shine in other places, this time thanks to His Majesty and the imperial court, let me become a part of the Wild City Viewing and Tourism Division, Lao Jin, I should do my best, and die!"
After Lao Jin finished speaking, he raised his hand and beat his chest, and subconsciously performed an extremely standard Daxia military salute, for this veteran who has served in the Southern Barbarian Army for half his life, this action has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
After the military salute, Lao Jin felt the strangeness in the eyes of his daughter in front of him, his dark face turned red, and he hurriedly used urging to hide his embarrassment, and said:
"You two little guys hurry up to change your clothes, let's get ready to go out, although a large number of people from Daxia will not pour in large numbers until after noon, but we have already come to the town of Zhenhuang City last night, and we are discussing with Lord Xiban King at this moment, I will go to the Yamen of the Guanyou Division first and wait." ”
After finishing speaking, Lao Jin stretched out his hand and straightened the robe of the Guanyou Division on his body, and his serious voice continued to come out:
"Girls, we have caught up with a good time, not to mention how long ago, at this time two years ago, the men in our town deserted city were thinking about killing the deserted people, the town frontier, and occasionally secretly praying to be able to go home safely, but the battlefield is ruthless, you see that your father and my comrades-in-arms are really not many who can come back, including Ziyue and your father. ”
After finishing speaking, Lao Jin sighed heavily, and then a smile gradually appeared on his dark face, and he gently turned his head to look at the rain curtain outside the courtyard, and continued to speak softly:
"But just over a year has passed, everything has changed, the sons and daughters of Leizhou no longer have to live in danger every day, they now want to go to the school palace to study, to travel to various places in Great Xia, to enjoy this green years, you must know that it is the day we dreamed of when we were young. ”
Lao Jin's gaze, accompanied by his heavy exclamation, seemed to pass through all the houses and obstacles in the rain, and clearly saw the entire desolate city that had changed dramatically.
At this time, the town is a barren city, starting from the wild border city wall in the west, to the shore of the North Sea in the south, the area is more than three times larger, and at the same time, in this summer rain, countless buildings that have been built or are under construction have risen from the ground, prosperous and vigorous.
This is a big city that is changing and growing rapidly.
This is also the promise that Zhao Yu fulfilled to the people of Leizhou.
