Chapter 54: Truth of Own
"Yes......" Lian Qingshan was amazed at Cui'er's sensitivity, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Cui'er's beautiful long hair, only to feel that the cold hair seemed to be tightly wrapped around his heart. Lian Qingshan pondered for a long time, and said in a low voice, "The guard in the story who took the general's wife to run thousands of miles is me!" ”
"Really? Don't talk, don't talk......" Cui'er gasped, couldn't help but hold Lian Qingshan's hand tightly, and then a little nervous pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, for fear that someone in the courtyard would hear what Lian Qingshan said and cause death.
"Huh...... There's no one out there, and I'm in good hands. Lian Qingshan saw that Cui'er was as nervous as a little squirrel, and couldn't help but chuckle, he clenched Cui'er's hand tighter, and his heart was full of warmth.
It was his own vigilance that made him take his sister-in-law and eldest girl to escape countless pursuits, thinking of the bloody days, and the countless lives that fell into his hands, Lian Qingshan couldn't help but sigh softly.
For more than two years, I have kept the secret for more than two years, and I don't even dare to confide in half a word of the secret when I dream at night, but now I say it like this, as if I have walked a hundred miles with something weighing a hundred pounds, and suddenly put it down, so relaxed that I can almost fly.
"What are you laughing at, such a life-threatening matter, and still talking nonsense, I tell you, God knows that you know that I know this, and you will never tell anyone else in the future." Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan and smiled stupidly, and couldn't help but put on a straight face and said.
"Okay, don't tell anyone else." Even Qingshan nodded in response.
"I won't say anything about this, and you should be careful yourself in the future, and you can't say it." Cui'er frowned and thought about it, but still felt uneasy, "Otherwise, when your body is better, Xiaohu will be older, let's go out of this mountain and find a place where no one knows to live, in the future, Da Niu and Xiao Hu will be born to me, you have never seen General Yang, and you have never been a soldier, how about it?" ”
"Cui'er......" Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er, a little hesitant and didn't agree immediately.
"What, what else can't you say?" Cui'er looked at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that Lian Qingshan had an opinion on what he said, and after glancing at him, she pouted and said.
"Cui'er...... Before the general's wife died, she entrusted me with the idea that Da Niu and Xiaohu would return to the capital and recognize their ancestors. Lian Qingshan said this, his voice lowered.
"Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" When Cui'er heard this, she couldn't help chewing these words carefully, recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors was light, but this child was born after General Yang was framed, and Mrs. Yang was a border pass that traveled thousands of miles away, how to send the two children to the capital safely is already a huge problem, not to mention that the two children want to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?
"Then General Yang, what kind of family are you from?" Cui'er didn't know what dynasty this was, and she didn't have the memory of the original owner, so she pretended to have amnesia thoroughly, and carefully asked Lian Qingshan about the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Lian Qingshan was conscripted to serve as a soldier back then, that is, he went to the border pass, the border pass was bitterly cold, and there were many Hu people, and Lian Qingshan, who was young and careless, was pushed to the battlefield not long after he was recruited. In the monstrous wind and snow, on the battlefield where the eyes were red-eyed, the young Lian Qingshan, a weak and inexperienced recruit, was naturally the focus of the slaughter.
"Just when the knife was about to slash at my face, the general appeared......" Lian Qingshan recalled the thrilling scene, "The general was just a military commander at that time, and a long knife danced vigorously, and he knocked down the person who cut me down at once, and I escaped." ”
"Little one, cheer up, your father and mother are still waiting for you to come home! The general told me this at the time, as soon as I thought of my father and mother, the courage that was originally frightened seemed to have come back a little, so I followed the general, and he killed the enemy and I broke off......" Recalling the years on the battlefield, Lian Qingshan had tears in his eyes.
"Then we won a great victory, because we killed many enemies, and the general was promoted, so he took me with him, and then taught me to use a sword, a bow and arrows, and a dart...... It gave me the ability to survive on the battlefield. Lian Qingshan wiped the tears on his face, "The general's kindness to me is like recreating my parents, if there was no general, my life would have been thrown on the battlefield a long time ago, and I didn't even have half a grave." Maybe now, the ash covered with the corpse can grow grass. ”
"Qingshan......" Cui'er knew that Lian Qingshan had been a soldier, but she didn't know that he had experienced such cruel years, Cui'er couldn't help but lean her head on Lian Qingshan's shoulder, and wrapped her hand tightly around him, as if this could bring him some comfort.
"Later, the general's wife found the general thousands of miles away, and the general bought a small house in the border city to live, the war at the border pass slowly subsided, the general was worried about the safety of his wife, so he assigned me to his wife as a guard, it is precisely because of this, when the general was framed and killed on the battlefield, I was able to take my wife and young lady and escape from the siege."
"Is your previous wife the general's wife?" When Cui'er heard this, she was already able to connect the whole story. Lian Qingshan received the kindness of the general, and when the general died on the battlefield, he saved his wife and children and fled and returned to the familiar mountains.
"Hmm...... I had been on the run for a long time and had nowhere to hide, so I thought of bringing them back in the name of my wife and children. Lian Qingshan nodded in response, and then hurriedly said, "Although Madame is my nominal wife, I have never thought of her wrongly, and I have always respected her as a sister-in-law." ”
When Cui'er heard this, she nodded with relief, "Xiaohu, is it the general's widow?" That's why my sister-in-law wants you to send him back? ”
"Yes......" Lian Qingshan nodded, and then looked at Cui'er with a look of surprise, "I didn't say anything about this, you actually guessed it?" ”
"You said you didn't move your sister-in-law, how could her stomach bulge for no reason, she can only be the general's child. I also know that you moved out of the village and lived on this hillside because you were afraid that if someone came to you and hurt the people in the village. Cui'er gave him a blank look, even Qingshan's honest and simple personality really made Cui'er love it. However, looking at Lian Qingshan's admiring eyes, Cui'er couldn't help but feel slightly proud.
"Aoyama, the kindness of the general, we all remember it, but ...... The matter of sending the big girl and the little tiger to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors will depend on the situation. Cui'er thought for a long time, said what she thought in her heart, saw that Lian Qingshan was anxious to refute, stretched out her hand to signal him not to be impatient, and then continued.
"I know that you want to let the big girl and the little tiger recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, want to repay the general's kindness to you, and want to fulfill the last wish of your sister-in-law, but these are all premises, that is, there are still people in General Yang's family, these people will sincerely accept the big girl and the little tiger, love them, and treat them as relatives. If you send the two children back, it will be a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, or let the two children be frightened and displaced from now on, it is better to let them stay at home and be the children of the two of us, at least they can live happily without worrying about food and clothing, Qingshan, am I right? ”
"This ......" Lian Qingshan listened to what Cui'er said, and felt that there was some truth, but he felt that the education he had received since childhood was not like that.
"Qingshan, if you haven't thought about it now, you don't have to think about it slowly. Even if we want to send them back to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, it's not now, your current body can't travel long distances, and the two children are still young, I don't know how much it will take to get to the capital from here, and the bodies of the two children can't stand it. ”
Cui'er saw that Lian Qingshan was a little moved, so she persuaded more and more carefully, "Let's take care of our bodies first, make more money, hire a carriage, and take the children to the capital decently, and then live in the capital, and inquire carefully about the situation of the Yang family, if the Yang family is still there, it is naturally good, let's see if they sincerely accept the two children, and then decide to send them back is not too late." ”
"Cui'er, you're right!" Lian Qingshan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "I thought it was too simple before, if I went to the capital rashly, I wouldn't be able to be used by gangsters, and then I would hurt the lives of my two children." ”
Speaking of this, Lian Qingshan held Cui'er's hand tightly, "Cui'er, it's good to have you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be dead now, and the remaining two children may not know what it will look like." ”
"Qingshan, don't say dead words!" Cui'er heard Lian Qingshan say this, and immediately covered his mouth and didn't let him say, "We will all live a long life, the big girl and the little tiger will grow up smoothly, and the two of us will also have our own children...... Everything will be fine. ”
When Cui'er said this, she had a faint smile on her face, she was sincerely describing the future of herself and Lian Qingshan, the future of this family.
"Cui'er ......" Lian Qingshan only felt that his heart was full of pictures drawn by Cui'er, there were children who never gave up, children and grandchildren around their knees, and a family and Meimei together, there was really nothing more beautiful than this.
"Cui'er, it's getting late, let's rest." Lian Qingshan hugged Cui'er tightly in his arms, blew out the oil lamp, and in the dark night, the two of them snuggled tightly together, even if they didn't do anything, the two hearts were so close.
Lian Qingshan's consciousness gradually blurred, and when he was about to sleep, a thought suddenly rushed into his mind, since Cui'er was not the person he bought, then he owed her a wedding...... When his leg is healed, he must make up for Cui'er's marriage, and there is a candle night in the cave room that has been in the night for a long time.
