There are all kinds of things in the world, but the way is that life and death are impermanent.

Li Ziyi looked at the rows of people stained red with blood, some knew it, some didn't know it, not long ago, they were drinking together, making a fuss, saying that they were loyal to the country, and now, including her only uncle, they are all lying here without breathing.

Li Zi tugged at her chest, her rapid breathing, and her tears, explaining how bad her current state was.

The soldiers on the side looked at it, a little unbearable, and wanted to go over to help.

Li Ziji struggled to stand up and pushed away the soldier's arm.

She gritted her teeth, her red and swollen eyes no longer able to open to look at the people on the ground.

Despite this, she still walked step by step, watching, until, in a flash, she saw that, familiar, newly embroidered purse.

"Uncle, little uncle, little, uncle."

Li Ziyi slowly moved his steps and shouted in his mouth.

Finally, I could see clearly the person lying on the ground, his face, chest, and arms, all of which were scars, and the blood seemed to have dried up.

"Plop." Li Ziyi knelt on the ground, stretched out her hand, trembling hands, and wanted to touch it, but the person stained red by blood had already made her unable to do it.

Li Ziyi raised his head in tears, and the tears still flowed down.

She lay on top of her dead uncle and couldn't hold back her crying anymore, but there were too many crying people around her, and it had masked her voice alone.

"You promised, you said you would be fine, why can't you think about me, think about grandma, think about your wife who is about to pass through the door, little uncle, why are you so ruthless, how can you lie here."

No matter how much you say, it is in vain, and people can no longer hear it.

Not long ago, Li Ziyi remembered clearly that her uncle had found two new good books for her, and said that she would read them together, and she had learned a new set of boxing techniques, and she had not yet had time to teach them.

Right now, memories came flooding back in an instant, and the vivid person seemed to be still in front of him.

There are many childhood memories and they are very good, but now they have really become a bubble.

Li Ziyi suddenly stood up, looked at the soldiers, and cried.

"You know that they are just ordinary people, how can they beat those well-trained soldiers, why do you still let them go to battle! You are well trained, why don't you know to protect them? Why? ”

The people on the side, hearing Li Ziyi's words, also stood up and began to accuse, while the soldiers on the side pursed their mouths, not knowing what to say, they all lowered their heads and listened to everyone shouting and scolding.

Xu is voice was too noisy, Ye Jingshao held the wound on his shoulder, walked over, and stood in front of the soldiers.

"They are also people, and they also picked up a life from the battlefield!"

Ye Jingshao's words were so loud that no one spoke.

Li Ziyi walked over, pointed to the rows of fallen people and said: "They, they only have a heart to repay the country's blood, they don't know anything, but they still pick up a hoe and fight to the death with those people, since you are eating the court's money, why do you let them rush forward?" ”

Hearing Li Ziyi's words, Ye Jingshao felt that it was ridiculous, so he pulled Li Ziyi's arm, couldn't resist, and pulled him to the barren slope not far away.

A large group of soldiers were digging pits one by one, some wounded and some crying.

Ye Jingshao pointed and said: "They, they are soldiers, they are other people's sons, husbands, fathers, just like those peasant soldiers outside, they have families, lovers, they are dead, they are also dead, and those who bury them are their brothers and comrades-in-arms who have gotten along day and night for several years!"

It's been four years, and they haven't seen their family for the last time until they die, do you think they deserve to die? Do they deserve to die just because they are in the army? They are all hot-blooded men, they are all in the prime of life, no one should die, but as long as there is war, they will die, they are on the battlefield, desperate, to win, to end the war. ”

Ye Jingshao said, his lips couldn't help trembling: "They, they died in battle, in the end, what they went back was just a few tokens, do you think they should die?" Do you still think that it was because they did not protect well enough that those peasant soldiers were killed in battle? Who is not a life picked up, those peasant soldiers, and them, are heroes, they are my true warriors, and death is heavier than Mount Tai. ”

Li Ziyi looked at the mountains of dead people, with immature faces, but he couldn't wake up again.

yes, who is she to blame?

Ye Jingshao looked at the pensive Li Ziyi, sighed, and turned away.

The fire was too big, and the wound on Ye Jingshao's shoulder began to hurt again, because of the poisoning, his injury didn't seem to be so easy to heal, and the wound that had just been bandaged was oozing out again.

He Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Lord Wang, this injury is not healed, you should rest more." ”

"Am my words too heavy?" Ye Jingshao seemed to be saying to himself.

He Feng knew what he meant, so he said: "The prince didn't let those peasant soldiers participate in the battle, you don't have to blame yourself for these things." ”

"Who said that this king blamed himself!"

It seems that the prince of his family still has the strength to shout loudly with him, then it must be fine, He Feng smiled, changed the medicine for Ye Jingshao, and went out quietly, he knew that at this time, Ye Jingshao might want to be alone and quiet.

The wind outside was blowing harder, and the sky was getting darker.

Li Ziyi looked at the body of his little uncle, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and wiped his tears. said: "Little uncle, you finally, you still follow your wishes, I will take you home, grandma, still waiting for us to have a reunion dinner, I will take you home, this will go back." ”

As she spoke, she used her thin body to drag Li Shuisheng up, dragged him to the horse, led the horse, and left.

Ye Jingshao stood secretly in one place, looking at this thin figure, so lonely, at this time, for some reason, he felt a little sorry for this unknown woman.

Li Ziyi didn't know how long she had been walking now, but she felt as if there was no end ahead, she kept walking until the soles of her shoes were worn out and the blood was stained on the ground, but she still didn't react.

Maybe the pain in my heart has exceeded that of my body.

It was probably not until the third watch that Li Ziyi returned to the village.

Ah Jiu Po was standing alone at the head of the village at this time, waiting for Li Ziyi.

After seeing his grandmother, Li Ziyi couldn't hold it anymore, ran to his grandmother, his eyes were red, and said, "Little uncle, it's gone." ”

Ah Jiu Po nodded, closed her eyes, tears flowed out of her eyes, she hugged Li Ziyi tightly, and looked at the person on horseback with her eyes.

After settling all this, it was already three days later. Li Zimi's whole person has lost weight and is much haggard, and Ah Jiupo's hair seems to be unable to find a single black hair.

The village knows the situation of her family, and there used to be an uncle, but now, there is really only this orphan and widow left.

Now, it's finally peaceful, but there is no longer a happy family together.

The room was dim under the oil lamp, and Li Ziyi was wearing dark clothes, sitting under the lamp, embroidering in his hands, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.

Because their family's situation is also special, Li Ziyi finished his work in the field and followed the people in the village to help the show shop in the city embroider some things, exchange some money, and subsidize the family.

Because of his uncle, Ye Jingshao secretly inquired about his family's situation, so he took matters into his own hands and explained to the new official, and in the future, his family's land tax can only be paid 20%.

Although it is an honor, Li Ziyi really doesn't want such an honor.

On the next day, Li Ziyi went down the mountain and sent embroidery to the city, and met Ye Jingshao again.

Li Ziyi looked at him from a distance, walked over and said, "I was so impulsive about the events of that day, and what Gongzi said was right, I couldn't see this state of affairs clearly." ”

Hearing this inexplicable apology, Ye Jingshao was at a loss.

Looking at the person in front of her, it was the prime of life, and her hands had already worked hard to match her actual age.

All this may be due to the loss of parents since childhood, and everything has to be done by yourself.

"Girl, you really don't have to apologize to me, I didn't do anything to make you apologize."

Ye Jingshao grew up in the army since he was a child, and he didn't know how to speak to this little daughter, and for a while, the situation of the two was a little embarrassing.

Then, Ye Jingshao hurriedly said: "Oh, you really don't have to care, you have lost your relatives, it turns out that I don't care about the time, and I have to be like a girl to ask for sin." ”

Li Ziyi also leaned over, which was considered a return gift.

Ye Jingshao looked at the things in Li Ziyi's hand and said, "I don't know what the girl is going to do, in order to apologize, I can escort the girl in a row." ”

"No need. I'll do it myself. ”

Li Ziyi thought to himself, don't you want this guy to bother you, today is just an apology for what happened last time, is it necessary to do it as if it was a big deal?

Looking at Li Ziyi's eyebrows, as if he was thinking something in his heart, Ye Jingshao was disapproving, and muttered in a low voice: "If I don't feel ashamed of you, why do I need this, I really don't know what to do." ”

Then he put on an indecent smile and said, "Girl, don't excuse me, please." ”

Li Ziyi helplessly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said while walking: "If you are sick, love will follow you." Of course, Ye Jingshao didn't hear this, otherwise it would be another battle of words, she was in a bad mood now, and she was in a sad stage, and she didn't have time to talk to him.

Although the clothes of the two and walking together, outsiders do look a little dazzling, but people who don't know the truth seem that these two people, one gentle, the other humble, are also a harmonious pair.

After sending the embroidery, Li Ziyi wanted to go around the city and relax, but Ye Jingshao kept following, so she was even more in the mood.

Li Ziyi turned around, smiled, and was about to speak, but Ye Jingshao took the opportunity to speak.

"Girl, there are lotus lanterns in the city tonight, one is to pray for peace, and the other is to pray for those soldiers who died in battle, let's pray together. There are some things that must be relieved. ”

Although she felt that Ye Jingshao didn't have a backache when she stood and talked, she really wanted to send her uncle on the last journey, at least, he also fulfilled his wish.

Thinking about it, he nodded: "Okay." ”
