Chapter Seventy-Two

I went to the camp to see, the soldiers were all holding long swords in their hands, Chu Muxiu put his hands behind him and walked back and forth below, and they raised their swords as soon as they screamed, and they put their swords down again when they called two.

I stood there and watched for a while, the army was full of momentum, neat and solemn, and I suddenly felt that sooner or later the Xiliang people would be repulsed by us. I still prefer Chu Muxiu, who is serious about doing things, maybe it's good to be quiet like that.

I was still there looking, Chu Muxiu walked to the front, he glanced at me sideways, and I also saw him. He was about to come over, I immediately turned around and left, I don't know why I want to run away, anyway, my feet just stepped away involuntarily, and I walked faster and faster, and I quietly looked back at him after walking a long way, he was still training there.

I was relieved that he didn't follow, and if he did, we wouldn't know what to say.

When I walked back to the tent, I saw Wu Deqing, he was about to go over to practice, he asked me if Mo'er's leg was a little better, and I said thanks to his gold sore medicine.

I stood there and talked with him for a while, and he suddenly said, "You're one of the few strong women I've ever met." ”

This was probably a compliment, and I asked him, "How so?" ”

"A woman went to the border alone, and she could survive when she met the Huns on the way, and she was able to escape on the battlefield that day."

This should be a compliment, but I don't think I'm strong, I'm just hard-hitting......

Seeing that I didn't speak, Wu Deqing looked at the foot of the mountain in the distance, he shook his head and said, "Xiliang has suffered heavy losses in troops this time, and it is estimated that the day when you will return to Huancheng is just around the corner." ”

"You guys? What about you, where are you going? ”

He put his hands behind his back and turned straight away, saying as he went, "Wander the world, where the happiness goes." ”

I looked at his back and felt a lot of emotion. They all feel worthless for Wu Deqing, but I feel worthless for Tianyue, Tianyue failed to keep him, which is Tianyue's loss.

In the evening, we had to make a fire to cook again, and Mo'er was still there to fetch water, and I carried half a bucket of water, staggering in front, and Xuanwu jumped up and down after me.

The water was so heavy that it made my arm hurt a little. When I was about to walk inside and outside the tent, Chu Muxiu hurriedly ran over from the training place to help me carry the water, but he didn't say that the water was too heavy, but only asked me, "Do your hands still hurt?" ”

I rubbed my arm and said, "It's almost there." ”

"That's good." Then walk ahead of me.

I followed him and said, "Thank you." ”

I saw him stunned for a moment, then continued walking, "It's okay. ”

He probably also thinks that we have become rusty, I rarely said these kind words before, and I don't like people to say these kind words to me, because I think it sounds awkward, it sounds even more awkward, and I don't know why the words come out of my mouth today.

He poured the water into the pot, and I said, "Or you can go first!" ”

He squatted down to find matches: "Since it's all here, let's make a fire together." ”

He started the fire the same way as I did, he liked to put the matches in the air first, and then stuff the thatch, so that the fire could easily rise.

He made the fire and stood up and looked at the fire burning in the stove, "Man needs the center, the fire needs to be hollow, and then the fire rises."

I said, "How do you know?" ”

He was defenseless, and opened his mouth to say, "I heard you and Lu Huai say it at that time!" ”

"Did you hear it all?" I asked him rhetorically.

"The fire has also risen, so I'll go to training first!" He probably couldn't answer my words and left in a hurry.

I don't know how much he's hiding, but I always feel like I don't know as much about him as he knows about me. I used to be very talkative, and I liked to tell him everything about myself. He doesn't like to talk, and he can't hold back a few words for a long time, but I remember every sentence clearly. I was always afraid that he would not remember if I said too much, but it turned out that I forgot before him.

When I ran after him all over the street, he never paid attention to me, but I didn't feel tired at all. Now, when it was his turn to follow my shadow, I was no longer in the mood, and I was too tired to run anymore. I always wanted him to be flesh and blood like me, but then he asked me where the happy me was.

Where she went, I don't know. Since the day the Nan family was destroyed, there has been no Prime Minister's Mansion in Huancheng, and there is no Nanyan candle in this world......

God is really a tricker, and then he became the former me, and I became the former him.

In the evening, Chu Muxiu ran over in a daze and said to me that we would be able to return to Huancheng soon, I think it was probably Wu Deqing who told him. I'm not happy or happy, it seems to me that the border is a cold and desolate place, and so is Huancheng.

For the next few days, Mo'er and I stayed in tents at the camp. In the army, the soldiers are trained every day, and every time after training in the evening, Qianche will come to Mo'er, and they always seem to have endless words.

I rarely talk to Chu Muxiu, even when he is free, even when I am extremely bored.

I heard Qian Che say that in a few days, we will fight again, and take the initiative to attack when Xiliang's troops are weak, maybe we can defeat them in one fell swoop.

On the day of the war, Mo'er and I went to send Chu Muxiu and Qianche.

Mo'er kept whispering something to Qian Che, I pulled Xuanwu over, and he jumped over, surrounded Chu Muxiu, and said something to make him careful.

I didn't follow to talk to Chu Muxiu, I just came out to see the excitement.

When I was about to leave, Chu Muxiu called me, I originally wanted to tell him to be careful, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed it raw. I remember the last time I said this to Lu Huai, he didn't come back, so I changed the word "peace" again.

Chu Muxiu pulled down his expectant face and nodded at me.

I have nothing to give him but a word of peace, when did we start to have nothing to say.

This war only lasted until noon, and Chu Muxiu came back with his troops, and I heard that there was a big victory.

Although it was a victory, I always felt that Chu Muxiu was not very happy when he came back, but he had a sad face. Later, I went to ask Qianche, and Qianche said that more than half of the soldiers of Xiliang were no longer outside the pass, and they all followed Shen Linxiao to find the Huns to make peace, and the reason why some people were left here was to divert Chu Muxiu's attention and make his army better escape. When Chu Muxiu led his troops to go, he actually threw a big blow into the air, and only wiped out part of the Xiliang people, and this victory was actually a false name.

After eating such a big loophole, Chu Muxiu was of course unwilling. Chu Muxiu has always been a shrewd person, in the past, he left Lu Huai to do these things when he went to the enemy army to spy on the military situation, but now that Lu Huai is gone, Chu Muxiu has forgotten about it.

Chu Muxiu hadn't said a word since he came back from the war, and he didn't drink water or eat, so he kept sitting on the big rock, but fortunately he was not injured.

I pulled Xuanwu over, and I squatted down and said to Xuanwu, "You go and say a few words to that big brother." ”

Xuanwu scratched his little brain: "Sister, why don't you go, didn't you like to chat with your big brother before?" ”

"I'm going to make a fire to cook later, if I don't have time, you should do me a favor, and when I go back to Huancheng, my sister will buy you pine flower cake and sugar gourd."

"That's good." Xuanwu nodded and walked over, and when he was halfway there, he ran back to me and asked, "Then what should I say to my big brother?" ”

"Well...... I didn't think too much about it, I just looked for Xuanwu, and when he suddenly asked, I was choked, "Just, you just say something, say that what happened in Chenjiazhai in the past two years is what you told me that day." ”

"Oh!"

Xuanwu turned his head and ran over again, and then got into Chu Muxiu's lap and sat down.

I hid by the tent in the back and watched for a long time, Xuanwu, a little clever ghost, didn't know what to say to Chu Muxiu, he actually smiled. They kept talking, laughing, and then I somehow laughed too.

As soon as I smiled, Chu Muxiu turned his head to look at me, and Chu Muxiu looked at me with a look of surprise, until he saw me gasp, swallow my saliva, and then run away with a cigarette.

Seeing me fleeing in a panic, Chu Muxiu burst out laughing, turned his head and asked Xuanwu, "Did Ah Candle call you here?" ”

"Well, my sister said that she made you laugh, and when you go back to Huancheng, she will buy me pine flower cake and sugar gourd."

Chu Muxiu's eyes were about to flow honey: "What did she really say?" ”

"Hmm!"

"And what else did she tell you?"

"That's it, you're in Huancheng, and then ......"

When eating in the evening, Chu Muxiu happily pulled Xuanwu over, I was serving rice on the side, Chu Muxiu came over and snatched my rice spoon, he said, "After cooking so much rice, you go and rest." ”

When I turned my head over, Mo'er and Qian Che were both biting their chopsticks and staring at us, but they were actually staring at Chu Muxiu. It was still lifeless at noon, and it only took him an afternoon to seem to come back to life.

After eating, I approached Xuanwu and asked him, "What did you say to your big brother?" ”

"I won't tell you, anyway, I remember that you still owe me pine flower cake and sugar gourd." After speaking, he ran to find Chu Muxiu again.

I slept in a daze at night, and heard a loud noise outside, as if there were many people shouting, and I didn't know what to call, and I opened my eyes and saw the flames of war being lit outside the tent, and through the tent I saw the soldiers running around with candles in their hands.

I was just about to get up to take a look, when a person came over from outside the tent, and his shadow stretched longer and longer, just like the shadow of Chu Muxiu that I saw in King Yi's Mansion that day.

I knew it was him, so I quickly went back to the couch and pretended to be asleep.

He had already put on an iron frame, came over to help me cover the quilt first, and then sat on the edge of my couch, he muttered, "I didn't expect the Xiliang people and the Xiongnu to attack so quickly after they reconciled, this battle should be the last battle between Tianyue and them, and I am afraid that there will be the most ferocious and auspicious battle." ”

I still pretended to be asleep, he really thought I was asleep, and then put his hand on mine, "Actually, I knew your mind from the beginning, and I have always had you in my heart, you must wait for me to come back, and wait for me to take you to Huancheng." ”

Finally, he peeled off the hair on my forehead, leaned down and kissed my forehead, and finally covered me with the quilt again, and walked away without hesitation.

He walked for a while before I opened my eyes, and those words just now may only be said when I was asleep, and then I couldn't sleep, and after he walked for a while my heart began to go up and down, and I looked at the top of the tent fixedly, and thought of many things.
