Chapter 38: Prayer

"Brother Liu Hao, you asked me to do it on the swing, but you painted Sister Siyu on the swing, so why do you still let me do it on the swing? I'm a little annoyed by the shaking. Xiao Lin Xin puffed out his cheeks angrily, pursed his lips, and said very dissatisfied.

Liu Hao smiled and reached out to touch Xiao Lin Xin's little head, motioning for her to play.

Looking at Xu Siyu who was smiling with his slender hands covering his mouth, and then looked at Gong Qingyang and Hu Dabao were smiling, and seeing that several people were laughing, Lin Qingqiao's face was a little red, she glared at Liu Hao angrily, and said angrily: "I have never seen such a brazen person like you." ”

Under the laughter of several people, Lin Qing couldn't pull his face a little, and he stretched out his hand to destroy the painting, Xu Siyu smiled and hurriedly stopped her, turned his head to Liu Hao and said: "Brother Liu Hao, Siyu likes this painting very much, can you give Siyu it?" ”

Liu Hao smiled, thought he was very handsome, fanned the folding fan, waved his hand in a chic manner, and said very generously: "Take it, I'll give it to you." ”

Xu Siyu looked at this painting with joy, very happy, very envious of Liu Hao for such a talent, usually heard that his family forced him to study, but he didn't expect him to paint, and he painted so well, unconsciously in his heart, it also sent him to another high step.

Looking at the very realistic painting, Hu Dabao was very impressed with Liu Hao, and he was also envious in his heart, he also wanted to be like him, with such talent, but helplessly, some things were born destined, and they couldn't change themselves, just like being born.

Liu Hao was born in a landlord's family, and he can enjoy a lot of things and treatment as soon as he is born, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. And Hu Dabao is different, he was born in a poor family with a poor family, he can't change these, but he can change the future, although he is poor, but he is also happy, although he has not seen his dead father, but he heard his mother say that he is a very good person, and he is also content.

When Liu Hao was still enjoying a comfortable life, Hu Dabao and his wife were still worried about three meals a day, although their lives were very hard, but they lived a very fulfilling life, and they were still happy, because they had his mother by their side! The depression of life, because there is no money to see a doctor, his mother is still gone, Hu Dabao has always wanted to change these, since he was a child, he was sensible to help people with chores, and when he was a little older, he went to the dock to carry things for people, shared worries for his mother, and wanted to change his living situation, but the reality is always cruel....

Hard work doesn't necessarily lead to success, but if you don't work hard, you won't even have a chance! It may be frustrating, but that's the reality.

Liu Hao didn't like to read since he was a child, and he felt very bored, but his family had been forcing him, thinking that one day he could cultivate a champion or something, but their expectations were destined to be disappointed. Liu Hao has been forced to read with Mr. Teach since he was a child, and now, he has only learned a little bit of skin, he often uses a brush to draw on the pages of the book when he is bored, and draws some villains to relieve boredom, so he was beaten on the board. Know that books are expensive.

However, Liu Hao was interested in painting, and specially invited a painter to teach him to paint, which led to this talent. And Liu Hao's parents asked Mr. Teach, Liu Hao's reading situation.

The old teacher just shook his head slowly and said: "I see, this son is not the material for reading, I have seen him always draw on books, and the painting is not bad, you can cultivate it." ”

Liu Hao's parents had to give up, dispelled their daydreams, and reprimanded Liu Hao for two sentences, but there was no way, Mr. Teaching also said so, and his mentality had to be flattened, Liu Hao's father sighed: "Hey, if he likes to paint, it's better than no skill." ”

……

The weather gradually got colder, and the white smoke could be seen in the gas exhaled, and it didn't take long for the sky to slowly drift up with fluttering white snow, and the snow fell more and more, but overnight, the snow on the ground sank thickly.

At a glance, the white expanse is boundless, the white snow covers the entire Qinjin Village, and even seems to cover the entire earth, the boundless snow scene is quite beautiful, and at the same time, it also brings extreme cold to people.

At this time, the snow is still falling, the cold wind, blowing with the snow, in the mountains and forests, the big trees are covered, thick white snow, and some big trees because they can't bear the weight of the snow, they are directly crushed off the branches.

In Qinjin Village, which is covered by snow, the chimneys on the roofs of each house also float white green smoke. The snow was still falling, but it was much smaller, Xiao Lin Xin climbed the whole person on Dudu, and Dudu took her to run wild in the snow, very excited.

And Liu Hao, Xu Siyu, Lin Qing, and Hu Dabao piled their own snowmen, but the snowmen of the three were very ordinary, but only Liu Hao's snowman was the most coquettish.

With a large amount of snow, piled up into a small cliff with some inclination, on the cliff, a somewhat realistic snowman stands there, arms raised, holding a wine jug in his hand, slightly raising his head to drink wine, on the top of his head, tied with a hairband, facing the falling snowflakes and wind, fluttering with the wind, giving people a feeling of being a little cold, but also very lonely and helpless.

Looking at Liu Hao's creativity, everyone laughed.

On the day of the New Year, everyone is eating a reunion dinner, and Xu Siyu is no exception, and whenever this moment is also her saddest moment, she will inadvertently think of Lin Yu, Qin Yu, grandpa, and their smiling faces at the dinner table, and the matter of Qingshui Village has also passed four years... And in Xu Siyu's mind, their faces were also diluted by time and blurred a little....

Looking at the smiles on the faces of Gong Qingyang and Hu Dabao in front of him, Xu Siyu finally smiled reluctantly......

After the New Year, Liu Hao, Lin Qing and Xiao Lin Xin came to Xu Siyu and went to Pingyang City to watch the fireworks together.

On the night of ink, the fireworks continued to bloom in the dark, and they were extremely gorgeous in an instant, bursting out with dazzling brilliance, shining on everyone's faces, and the faces were unsurprisingly smiling. Xu Siyu said the same, Xiao Lin Xin pointed to the exploded fireworks, and said happily: "Look, look!" ”

Hu Dabao stared intently at the blooming fireworks, and before he had time to imprint the flower soul in his mind, it had quickly disappeared.

Liu Hao looked at the fireworks and wanted to shake Lin Qing's hand, but found that Lin Qing was holding Xu Siyu's hand and was a little helpless.

Many people are looking at this fireworks, but there are a few places that are not, the walls of Zhongzhou City are also scarred, there are traces of destruction everywhere, and there are cracks in a few places, the soldiers standing guard on the city wall, looking at the dark night, the new year, looking forward to the early end of this war...

Not only is he looking forward to it, but other soldiers are also looking forward to it, and the people of Zhongzhou behind him are also praying for blessings......

But I really don't know when it will end, and it may even be lost, and the 80,000 most elite Xuanjia iron horsemen in the Northern Regions sent to the south have made little progress in suppressing the barbarians.

Before Zhongzhou, there was a Xiling army of nearly 400,000, if it weren't for the dangerous terrain of Zhongzhou, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid it would have been captured long ago! Moreover, there are still 160,000 Xiling troops still attacking Anxi, and the Northern Regions are acting in crisis, how many people are looking forward to the end of this war, but how can this war end so well?

In June of the new year, the 80,000 defenders of Anxi were annihilated, and Anxi fell.

In July of the same year, Changchuan and Lingzhou each sent 50,000 defenders to block the Xiling army advancing in Anxi.

The battle lasted for more than four months, and it was also winter again, and the defenders of Changchuan and Lingzhou were defeated and retreated, leaving only more than 30,000 miserable soldiers to retreat to Jianyun City.

The new year is coming again, many people are praying for the end of this war as they did last year, and under such prayers, it finally brought them a glimmer of hope, in May of the new year, the defenders of Jianyun City, who had been guarding hard, poured out of the nest and sent all their troops to attack the Xiling garrison at night, and the Xiling garrison of more than 100,000 was almost wiped out, leaving only three or four thousand people, rushing out of the encirclement!

The whole country in the Northern Regions was happy and happy.
