Chapter 55: Armor

The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves, rolling up a golden place. There is a sun in the sky, and the sun at this time is close to the canopy, and it looks cool. Ye Duhong and the grass went down the hill along the slightly curved path, and came to a bay of autumn water, the water here is flowing, do not look carefully, just when it is still water, the water surface sometimes floats and fallen leaves, there are heart-shaped, some are not heart-shaped, no matter how you look at it, it looks good. There is the reflection of the sky in the water, there is the reflection of the tree, the night Duhong and the grass approach the autumn water, and the reflection of people appears in the water.

Cao'er suddenly asked Ye Duhong, am I beautiful? Ye Duhong didn't speak, just looked at the grass in the water. Cao'er said, I'll ask you. Ye Duhong looked at the autumn water in the distance, and said that the place where the water and the sky meet in the distance is so beautiful.

Except for Ye Duhong and Cao'er, I am afraid that there is no one else here, and the hearts of the two are quiet here, and there is no restlessness in making trouble. They have nothing to do at this time, and they are not in a hurry to go to the Shadow Continent in their dreams, they just take a walk by the water, they love to walk, and when they scatter, the things in their hearts flow like a river.

Those yellow leaves are very beautiful in Ye Duhong's eyes, he pulls the grass to the place where many trees grow, the yellow leaves are all over the ground, and the trees are still falling above his head. In Ye Duhong's childhood, I once went to a mountain, the mountain wall grew luxuriant jujube trees, as soon as autumn, there are jujube falling, because of the wind, when walking on the narrow path under the mountain wall, you can also see a few red dates blown by the wind, and they fall. Ye Duhong loves to pick up jujubes to eat, can pick up half green and half red crisp jujubes, can pick up all red sweet jujubes, can also pick up all red sour jujubes, all red sour jujubes and sweet jujubes, and soft and hard, these jujubes, Ye Duhong has eaten. Ye Duhong was proud to have eaten all kinds of dates, and his pride accompanied him through the mountain wall. Ye Duhong does have research on eating dates, not only has he eaten a lot of dates, but he also knows what he can do with dates. Many children don't know, Ye Duhong knows, with jujube can be steamed as soft as steamed buns, with sour jujube can be boiled sour jujube water, Ye Duhong also knows that drinking sour jujube water can make people live longer, as long as you drink sour jujube water every day, people can live to 100 years old. When Ye Duhong talks about dates, it can be said that it is like the water of a big river. At this time, it is the yellow leaves, although it is not a date, but this beauty has made Ye Duhong satisfied, Ye Duhong looks up at the tree, and the spirit of the tree will embrace Ye Duhong.

Ye Duhong walked forward with the grass again, and came to a scrawny stone, the stone was covered with yellow leaves, and there were long strips of plants around the stone, and these long plants looked chaotic. There's a shiny thing in the middle of these messy plants, and the night is the idea to look, oh, the helmet, it's a helmet. This helmet is so familiar, Ye Duhong took a closer look, this helmet Ye Duhong knew, it was the helmet of the Red Army, which was the helmet used by the soldiers to fight. The helmet is stiff and is worn on the head to protect the head. Now that the helmet is here, where has the head gone? Could it be that the red-clothed soldier's head has fallen off? Ye Duhong pulled the grass forward, thinking that he could find a corpse, but he couldn't find it.

Just as Ye Duhong was puzzled, he found a piece of armor on a pile of fallen leaves, the metal pieces on which were shining, and this was still the armor of the red-clothed soldiers. There is hard metal on the armor, which is also meant to protect the body. Strange, there is a helmet and armor on the ground, so where has this red-clothed soldier gone? After a while, Ye Duhong patted his head, and he finally came up with a possibility, that is, this red-clothed soldier was a deserter. He survived the war, ran in all directions, came here, took off his armor, threw away his helmet, so that his body became light, so that it was easy to run. Ye Duhong looked at the helmet and armor, and guessed where the red-clothed soldier had fled. Ye Duhong didn't know where the red-clothed soldier had gone, if he could find a place where he could eat a hot meal, it would be great, but if he went to the wilderness, wouldn't he starve? Thinking of this, Ye Duhong felt the urge to cry.

On the hillside not far from the grove, there was curling smoke rising, which should be someone's home. Ye Duhong and Cao'er hurried along the path, and sure enough, they saw a house facing north and south, which appeared in front of them plainly, and the two felt very cordial.

The two of them saw an old lady picking vegetables in the yard, the aunt was old, but she was in good spirits, and when she saw two people in the yard, she stared at them and asked who she was looking for. Ye Duhong and Cao'er didn't mean to find someone, they came to see here. The simplicity of the place touched Ye Duhong and Cao'er, and they asked the old lady what kind of place this was. The old aunt laughed and said that this is my house, and this place has no name. The old aunt is right, this place has no name, as far as the eye can see, it is full of natural landscapes, and the houses where people live are only afraid of this one, the old aunt lives here, and the days have been peaceful. But recently, some soldiers passed by the door, either the soldiers in red or the free army, and the people from the troops came, and the old lady was not nervous, so she thought, the people in the army are people, and I am also a human being, what can people do to people? In fact, some soldiers are arrogant and domineering, and the old lady is not in a hurry, so she slowly talks to them, and takes out the delicious food at home, such as snacks, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., for the soldiers to eat. Those people first saw that the old aunt had no grace and charm, and second, they saw that the old aunt was simple and kind-hearted, and they did not hurt her. For the old aunt, the occasional soldiers are nothing more than taking away the melons and dates, just to wash the dust for those dolls.

The old lady asked Ye Duhong, is there a war going on outside? Ye Duhong told the old aunt, yes, the war is very strong outside, this is a war era. Ye Duhong sighed that the old aunt can have a peaceful heart and be calm about the world as usual. Ye Duhong also sighed that the place where the old aunt is located, the life she has, is completely isolated from the world, even if there are soldiers in the war who flee here, it is only a passing moment. The old aunt has lived here for a long time, and she has seen all kinds of passers-by, and she is not hurt by the occasional invasion of the outside world.

The three of them were exchanging ideas in the courtyard, and a young man came out of the house, this young man surprised Ye Duhong, Ye Duhong opened his eyes to see, this is not who Meng Hai is, this is Meng Hai. Ye Duhong said, you are. Meng Hai also stared at Ye Duhong. Ye Duhong recognized this as Meng Hai, Meng Hai stared at Ye Duhong for a while, and also recognized Ye Duhong.

The meeting between Ye Duhong and Meng Hai is really a legend, how did they meet here, is this anyone's arrangement? Ye Duhong burst into tears with joy, it turned out that Meng Hai was not dead, it turned out that the armor and helmet seen in the grove were thrown by Meng Hai, Meng Hai was very hungry that day, he looked around for food, and suddenly found a house here, the old aunt saw a disheveled person outside the door in the yard, so she took out the delicious food at home to solve the child's hunger. Meng Hai was rescued by the old aunt, and the old aunt also took out the medicine at home to treat Meng Hai's injuries. Meng Hai told the old aunt the story on the battlefield, and although the old aunt felt thrilled when she heard it, she still said to Meng Hai very calmly afterwards that everything will pass, no matter how good or bad things are, they will pass.

Meng Hai survived at the old aunt's house, and helped the old aunt do some work on weekdays. Just now, Meng Hai just poured the two buckets of water into the water urn, and when he came out, he saw Ye Duhong, what a coincidence.

Meng Hai is not dead, it's good that he is not dead. Ye Duhong didn't die, it's good that he didn't die. Those who survive the war are lucky.
