It was really a hot and humid weather, which lasted for several days, and the officers and men in the army were like wilted flowers.

Even Murong Jin felt irritable.

"It's already the beginning of July, and we've been fighting head-to-head for several days, but there's no sign of Lu Han. On the contrary, those Western Vietnamese lieutenant generals were invincible and rampant. Xia Lingsheng stood in front of the layout plan, his palms holding the sword were covered with sweat, and the hair in his helmet was sticky.

Murong Jin was not afraid of the heat, but now he was bored.

Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "General Xia thinks, what do we have to do?" ”

Xia Lingsheng shook his head, looked at the listless lieutenants in the tent, and let out a long sigh.

Xie Fanghua's physique is not very good, and he still encountered some trouble on the road, so he only arrived at Luyu now. When she led the horse into the road fish, she found that the place was really depressed.

The streets were full of beggars in tattered clothes, ranging from sixty or seventy years old to three or four years old. There are also some houses that will not be toppled and look really dangerous.

Xie Fanghua's eyebrows were deeply locked, and the hand holding the bridle couldn't help but tighten.

A beggar begged for her, but Xie Fanghua dodged lightly and quickened her pace.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder, which made Xie Fanghua's heart skip a beat, and when she turned around, she saw that it was a woman in yellow with a hat.

Just when Xie Fanghua was puzzled, the woman in yellow took off the hat.

A familiar face.

"Zhiyu? Why are you here? Xie Fanghua subconsciously looked around, and then stared at Chen Zhiyi with a surprised face.

Chen Zhiyi scratched the back of his head, and he didn't expect to meet his sister here, "Don't talk about me, you're not." Sister, let's not talk about other superfluous things, you come with me first. ”

was pulled outside Luyu City by Chen Zhiyi, turned east and west, and then plunged into a forest, and after walking for a while, a small wooden house appeared in front of Xie Fanghua's eyes.

The wooden house has two floors, the upper floor of which is basically built on a tree.

It looks very old.

"Zhiyu?" Xie Fanghua frowned, not understanding her sister's thoughts and behaviors.

Chen Zhiyi pointed to the wooden house and explained: "I've been here for a few days, and my sister has also seen the condition of Lu Yu, so I can't live there at all." In addition, the Western Vietnamese soldiers often came here to harass and deceive the people, so I took advantage of that time to wander around and found this place. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at the wooden house, curious about how Chen Zhiyi found this place, and at the same time, he also wondered if anyone would know about this place.

Chen Zhiyan led the horse for Xie Fanghua, and after tying it up, he took her into the house, "I've cleaned up casually in the past few days, and I haven't taken care of the upper floor, during this time in Luyu, my sister lives here with me." ”

Xie Fanghua appeared in Luyu, and Chen Zhiyi knew that she was not here to find Brother Jin, but to help Brother Jin.

Xie Fanghua nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Zhiyi, you just said that the soldiers of the West Vietnam often come to harass the people?" ”

"That's right," Chen Zhiyi poured Xie Fanghua a glass of water, "Look at what they're wearing, it's a West Vietnamese soldier." What's wrong? ”

The weather was sultry, but Xie Fanghua saw that there was still a little grass in the water, so he didn't drink it, but just replied to his sister's words: "The discipline of the West Vietnamese soldiers is not strict, and it is a breakthrough to attack the West Vietnam." ”

When Chen Zhiyi heard this, he suddenly realized, "Sister is so smart." I haven't even thought about it! ”

Suddenly there was a crackling sound outside the house.

It's like the sound of raindrops.

The two sisters glanced at each other, Xie Fanghua put down the cup in his hand and followed Chen Zhiyi's footsteps and rushed outside.

Piping hot.

The bean-sized slanting raindrops hit the forest. Strong winds blew trees slanted, and torrential rain turned muddy ground into puddles.

"Wow, sister, it's raining!" Chen Zhiyi stretched out her hand, and the raindrops hit her palm, tickling.

Seeing that her sister was so excited, the corners of Xie Fanghua's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

The wind ruffled their hair, and the rain it brought in drenched their hair.

"Zhiyi, let's go inside." The rain entered Xie Fanghua's eyes, she squinted, and beckoned Chen Zhiyi into the house.

Chen Zhiyi glanced at the scene blurred by the rain again, and then entered the house. Xie Fanghua followed and closed the door again.

After closing the door, the sound of the rain was a little quieter, but the sound of the roof made Xie Fanghua couldn't help but look up, and he was a little worried about whether it was strong enough.

Chen Zhiyi also glanced up, and knew what Xie Fanghua was thinking, "Sister, don't worry, it's very strong on it, I went to see it the first time I came." ”

Xie Fanghua lowered his head, "Zhiyi, Ran didn't come with you, did you?" ”

Qingzhi sent a message to tell her that Xie Lenran had already obtained a position in the court, but in front of her sister, she could only ask this.

Speaking of Xie Enran, Chen Zhiyi coughed lightly twice and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't tell him, I left a letter for my father and came by myself." But don't worry, sister, I said that I would go out to have fun, and my father and Xie Enran would not know. ”

When Xie Fanghua heard this, she reached out and flicked Chen Zhiyi's forehead, and said angrily: "You little girl, don't talk about your father." Look at Ran, he knows you so well, do you really think he doesn't know where you have gone? ”

Chen Zhiyi smacked his lips and stopped talking.

After a while, the sound of the rain outside sounded a little quieter, and Chen Zhiyi pushed open the door and let the wind blow in, which was very cool.

"Sister, do you have any plans for coming to Luyu?" Chen Zhiyi knew that Xie Fanghua must have something to do here, but he didn't know what she would do.

Xie Fanghua replied: "I didn't have any plans at first. I thought about coming to Luyu first to see the situation, who knew that I met you. After a pause, she asked again: "Zhiyu, do you know where the specific location of the West Vietnamese Army is?" ”

Chen Zhiyi nodded, "Of course." I haven't dive inside to find out more about it, though. ”

When Xie Fanghua heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded her eyebrows, and said angrily: "It's good that you didn't go, otherwise who knows what the result will be." ”

Chen Zhiyi smiled and scratched the back of his head, "That's right, sister." You also know that I have been sensitive to the road since I was a child, and during this time, I walked everywhere, looked everywhere, drew a map, and even many details, I believe that there will be no drawings of the battle between the two armies. As she spoke, she confidently took out a drawing from under the table and handed it to Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua took it and took a general look.

It is indeed very detailed, so detailed that Xie Fanghua can't imagine that this picture was painted by his careless sister.

Of course, the picture is very detailed, but Xie Fanghua struggled to see it.

Chen Zhiyi's calligraphy and painting are poor, because of some details Chen Zhiyi was annoyed by painting, so she replaced it with words, but the words were ...... Xie Fanghua looked at it, and Chen Zhiyi was a little puzzled with a crying and laughing expression, "Sister, is there anything you can't understand?" You can ask me directly. ”

Xie Fanghua spread the drawings on the table, pointed to one place, and asked, "What is this writing?" ”

Chen Zhiyi approached, stared carefully at the few small and crooked words for a long time and didn't come up with them, and finally according to his memories, he took the pen and paper again and drew it specifically for Xie Fanghua, "Sister, this is a lake, which is quite close to a core army in Western Vietnam." The lake was very large, surrounded by grass and trees, and I had seen the horses of that army grazing here. ”

When Xie Fanghua heard this, she nodded thoughtfully, and asked a few more specific places, and she asked Chen Zhiyi for paper and pen.

"Haha, fortunately, I'm smart, thinking that this time I came out to march and fight, and drawings are indispensable, so I specially bought these things on the road." Chen Zhiyi praised himself with a smile while taking something for Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua smiled helplessly, grinding and preparing to draw, "I'll draw a new one." I know that you are on the side, and you can tell me specifically about the places I don't understand, and draw a picture. ”

"Okay, okay!"

For a long time to come, Chen Zhiyi was assisting Xie Fanghua in drawing.

"Sister, this place is a mountain, not high, but steep ......"

"Sister, this is ......"

In the evening, Xie Fanghua finally finished the drawing.

Chen Zhiyi sighed and wowed, "Sister, you draw more carefully than mine, such a big brush, you can write such a small number...... Alas, by the way, sister, why are you writing this number? ”

Xie Fanghua put down the pen, stretched out relaxedly, and explained with a smile: "Write about the specific situation of some important positions. Like the lake you said, the mountain ......."

"Does my sister want to give this picture to Brother Jin?" Chen Zhiyi smiled evilly and looked at Xie Fanghua.

"Yes." Xie Fanghua is not shy about it, her sister, what is there to avoid?

It was late, Chen Zhiyi took the candle he bought and lit it for Xie Fanghua, and went out to find some food.

"Zhiyu, remember the little thing that can shelter from the rain." Before leaving, Xie Fanghua stopped writing and instructed.

Xie Fanghua wrote for a long time, and Chen Zhiyi also stayed up late at night with her.

It wasn't until her sister was sleepy and yawned that Xie Fanghua remembered that it was late, she asked Chen Zhiyi to sleep first, and she continued to write what she wanted to write.

Late at night, it's so quiet.

In the small cabin in the suburbs, the candlelight flickered, and the night was dark, listening to the sound of the light rain outside.

When he got up the next morning, Chen Zhiyi stretched his waist and yawned, but found his sister lying on the table and asleep.

She still has a pen in her hand.

Chen Zhiyi quietly walked over, wanting to drag the pen out of Xie Fanghua's hand, but Xie Fanghua held it very tightly, and just as Chen Zhiyu wanted to change his posture to take the pen from Xie Fanghua's hand, the other party suddenly woke up.

Xie Fanghua was sleepy-eyed, and saw her sister holding a pen in her hand in a daze, she rubbed her eyes with her other hand, and the hand holding the pen also put down the thing in her hand, "Zhiyi?" What's wrong? ”

As soon as Chen Zhiyi saw his sister wake up, he quickly let go, "It's nothing, it's nothing." My sister must have not slept last night, right? Want to stop sleeping for a while? ”

Xie Fanghua got up, looked at the map he had drawn, compared it with Chen Zhiyi's, and nodded with satisfaction, "There should be no problem in the details." Zhiyi, you handed these two pieces of paper to Murong for me. But don't tell him I'm coming. ”

Xie Fanghua cleaned up as he spoke, Chen Zhiyi pursed his lips when he heard this, "Sister still says about me, aren't you just as stupid?" Do you think Brother Jin can't read your words and your painting style? ”

Hearing what her sister said, Xie Fanghua's movements in her hands paused, but she quickly continued to clean up, and then handed it to Chen Zhiyi, in the process, she didn't say a word.

Glancing at the silent sister, Chen Zhiyi sighed, took the object, and turned to leave.

"It's raining outside, put on a hat." Xie Fanghua came back to his senses and hurriedly said.
