Chapter 42: Some people are happy and some people are worried
In the evening, I don't know where to hide in the sun, and there is only a little sunlight in the cold early winter, and the temperature is really scary.
Winter days are like that, the days are short and the nights are long. After the dazzling sunset, all work on the site stopped. Under Li Brahma's special instructions, the proprietress who was in charge of eating at the construction site brought a happy hot pot.
A group of people nested in the old Tang's small room and ate hot pot, duck intestines, pig brains, tripe, and all kinds of meat were placed on the tables. Old Tang's hut was originally not big, but with a few more people this time, it became even more crowded. Wang Xun is one of the living.
The farce directed and acted by Wang Xun this afternoon was finally brought to a close by Wang Xun himself. As for how he pulled it, no one asked. But seeing his dejected appearance, everyone knew that he was uncomfortable.
The hot steam of the hot pot filled the room, and Wang Xun once again raised the wine in his hand at Li Brahma in his hand.
"Major General, today I have no eyes to do such a rebellious thing. ”
Wang Xun was swallowed several times in succession, he was already groggy, tears followed, and after muttering inarticulately, he raised his hand and slapped himself with a big mouth.
"Boom. Wang Xun was old, his cheeks were already dry and fleshless, and when he slapped him, the sound he made was extremely dull.
"Lao Wang, what are you doing here, does the young general blame you, and besides, you are also thinking about your brothers, and if you want to fight, you will also fight the person who provokes right and wrong in the military department. ”
A veteran who knew Wang Xun saw that Wang Xun was going to do something to himself, so he hurriedly grabbed Wang Xun and persuaded him.
People's hearts are full of flesh, and when you see an old man in his seventies crying and slapping himself in front of you, you will be unbearable. But Li Brahma still held back, not because he was hard-hearted, but because he couldn't let himself be soft-hearted.
Veterans like Xiang Wang Xun who came down from the battlefield have a certain ruffianism, and he will not disappear because of the passage of time, but will be even more aggravated. Just like there are enough veterans present today, he dares to fight to the death against the workers, and he never thought that he is an old man who is too old.
If you have been on the battlefield and killed people, you will not take human life seriously like ordinary people, and you will not have any awe to be nostalgic about now, and once you do not have the slightest awe, then he will be more terrible than the devil.
So Li Brahma didn't make the slightest move, still holding the mutton in the pot. But he noticed that Wen Wan beside him was tugging at the hem of his clothes. He was in touch with Wen Wan, and nodded slightly.
After seeing Li Brahma and nodding, more people present began to hold Wang Xun.
"Don't pull me, y'all. Unexpectedly, Wang Xun shook off the hand that was holding him. said: "I, Wang Xun, have followed the general since I joined the army, and I have followed the general for thirteen battles, and the general has saved my life. Lao Zhang, you are from the Frost Legion, you don't understand me, you don't understand my general, and you don't understand our wolf smoke even more. ”
Wang Xun's last few words were completely roared, a few roars seemed to drain all the strength of his body, Wang Xun put the wine glass in his hand on the wine table, lay weakly in the chair and closed his eyes, a tear flowed out of the corner of his eye.
When Li Brahma heard Wang Xun's last few words, he finally stopped what he was doing, and as soon as the chopsticks were loosened, the mutton in the clip fell into the soup base.
Li Brahma looked up at Wang Xun, only to find that Wang Xun had already fallen asleep, and his posture in the chair was so short, but he was still holding the war knife tightly in his arms. Tears had already blurred his face, and he was still whispering something in his mouth.
Li Brahma couldn't hear Wang Xun whispering, but he repeated Wang Xun's words again, "You don't understand our Wolf Smoke Legion. ”
Li Brahma felt that he didn't understand the Wolf Smoke Legion, even if his father was the leader of the Wolf Smoke Legion, even if he joined the Wolf Smoke Legion a few days ago, even if he would inherit his father's position and become the next general of the Wolf Smoke in the future, he still didn't understand the Wolf Smoke Legion, but now, he seemed to understand a little, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
Wang Xun was drunk, and Li Brahma didn't mean to talk, and the meal ended in a dull aftermath. Li Brahma returned to the patriarch's mansion with Wen Wan, and Li Qing and Wu Tao specially sent Wang Xun and several other veterans who were far away from home home.
Li Qing personally sent Wang Xun back to his home, and Wang Xun also watched Li Qing leave with his own eyes, because Wang Xun had woken up early, or he was not drunk. Wang Xun never let go of those swords, even on the way home, he still held them tightly in his hands, because this was the only thing he could hold in his hands now, and the only thing he couldn't bear to put down.
After Li Qing left, Wang Xun sat up, got out of bed and rummaged through the cabinets to find a bottle of kerosene. It was something he had saved for years, and this time he wasn't saving as he usually would. He poured the bottle of kerosene into the kerosene lamp.
The originally dim light suddenly brightened up, and under the bright light, it seemed that Wang Xun's house was surrounded by four walls, and it was empty.
Wang Xun leaned down and sat down, picked up the war knife and looked at it carefully. Wang Xun looked at it until late at night, turning the knife over and over several times. Until Wang Xun's area is still flickering with lights, maybe there are still a few families who are thinking about what is wrong with Lao Wang, has he made a fortune? Why haven't the lights been turned off yet, isn't oil money money?
Wang Xun finally put down the war knife, got up and walked to the window, looked up at the sky, but found that the most common bright moon in the past was obscured by dark clouds early, thinking that tomorrow would be another cold day.
There is no bright moon, and there are no lights of thousands of homes, and Wang Xun's streets are pitch black. But Wang Xun still knows this street inside out, because he has lived here for decades. For the first time in decades, he was so unhappy with everything here.
You can't feel the winds of the eastern frontier here, you can't hear the blood-boiling war drums, and you can't even see the moon today.
Wang Xun sighed deeply, leaned forward, and fell out of the window. "Boom. The heavy sound of the earth seemed out of place in the silent streets, but it didn't attract much attention, for no one cared about a bad old man.
The flickering lights are still there, and the knives on the table are still there. Wang Xun was gone, and he didn't put away the war knife, probably he thought that the war knife had been put away for decades, and he should come out to breathe.
One should not forget the war knife, and he will not forget the wolf smoke, and when he fell out of the window, he seemed to hear the long-lost war drums again, and heard the call of his comrades again.
"Wang Xun, a wolf smoke veteran, has not returned to the team yet. ”
Li Brahma lazily pushed open the door and stretched out in the cold wind of early winter against the rising sun.
Looking up at the gray sky, a gust of cold wind blew through Li Brahma and tightened his clothes, and secretly cursed: "What kind of weather is this?" After Li Brahma finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house, and began to wash up and put on a few more clothes.
Although Wen Wan had already lived in the Patriarch's Mansion, she did not want to live in the same room with Li Brahma as Li Xiyang said. After all, people are still girls with thin skin, unlike Li Brahma, how many people in the world are as faceless as him.
Li Brahma put on his cotton clothes, always felt that something was missing, thought about it and found a fur cloak, and then walked out of the room.
Wen Wan lived in a wing room of the Patriarch's Mansion, half a corridor away from Li Brahma, if it weren't for the Patriarch's Mansion really couldn't find a few places to live, according to Wen Wan's intentions, it might be farther away. She didn't want to be like she was now, having to close the doors and windows every night.
Xu is a beautiful woman is lazy, anyway, Wen Wan is like this. In addition, Li Xiyang leaves early every day to deal with the affairs of the clan, and the entire patriarch's mansion is left with Li Brahma and Wen Wan, and Zhang Lao will not care about these two as little guys. Therefore, Wen Wan lived a really fairy life in the patriarch's mansion, and she slept until Li Brahma asked her to get up reluctantly.
Li Brahma came to Wen Wan's door with his cloak and knocked lightly, seeing that there was no response, thinking that Wen Wan hadn't woken up yet.
So of course, he took out a knife and pried open the deadbolt along the crack of the door. Li Brahma did not push the door directly, but gently pushed the door open a small crack. Li Brahma squatted down and saw a thin string of bells tied to the back of the door, and as long as the door was pushed open, the bells would ring.
With a flick of his fingers, Li Brahma popped out two flames and boiled the two ends of the rope. Just as the bells were about to fall to the ground, Li Brahma pushed the door and rolled over, wrapping the string of bells tightly with the fur cloak in his hand. Even if the bell would make a sound, no sound could be heard through the thick cloak.
Li Brahma put the cloak on the table, turned around and closed the door, and tiptoed towards Wen Wan's bed, there was no bell or anything like that, it seemed that in Wen Wan's opinion, the ones at the door were enough to stop Li Brahma.
Li Brahma came to Wen Wan's bed, gently opened the bead curtain in front of the bed, and finally saw Wen Wan who was still asleep.
The moment his eyes fell on the gentleness, Li Brahma was deeply immersed and unable to extricate himself. Gently lying on the bed quietly, her long fluffy hair was scattered at the head of the bed, which further set off her gentle and fair skin. The slender fingers, the white arms were exposed, and beyond that were the delicate collarbones. The corners of Wen Wan's mouth curled slightly, I am afraid that I will have some sweet dreams again.
Li Brahma walked into the gentle bed, lifted her quilt, took off her shoes, and went to bed, all in one go. Li Brahma gently raised his arm to hug Wen Wan, and his head was nested on Wen Wan's chest, like a kitten reluctant to give up.
For a moment, Wen Wan didn't know whether she felt the cold air brought by Li Brahma, or was a little unbearable by Li Brahma, so she reluctantly narrowed her eyes. Li Brahma felt Wen Wan's movements, not only did he not whisper, but rubbed his head on Wen Wan's chest a few times.
Wen Wan felt the pressure on her chest, and looked down in a daze, only to see Li Brahma rubbing herself a few more times, and laughing at herself. Wen Wan was so frightened that she thought it was a nightmare, but the touch on her chest became stronger and stronger as Wen Wan's consciousness returned, and finally Wen Wan came to her senses. This person was really Li Brahma, and he was still sleeping with him, his head still rubbing against his chest.
"Ahh
"Bang..."The gentle palm of her hand made intimate contact with Li Brahma's face, and Li Brahma covered his face and was stunned for a while.
However, a slap did not discourage Wen Wan, Wen Wan hurriedly got up, regardless of the fact that she was just wearing a pajama, picked up the pillow next to her and beat Li Brahma is wild. Still shouting and scolding, "When did you come in, what did you do to me?" The question was accompanied by a scream, which woke up the entire Patriarch's Mansion.
Zhang Lao got up earlier than Li Brahma, and now he was boxing in front of his small courtyard. Hearing the gentle screams and the wails of Li Brahma, he stopped punching and grinned.
