Chapter 36: The Year of the Talk
Ren Hanyue's face was innocent, "I think Aunt Ji's cooking skills are very good, and she ...... And I like them! And ...... The Ji family is very close to our house! Aunt Ji is also very good to me and my brothers and sisters!"
She had a small expression of racking her brains to say good things for the person she liked, and her thin eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together because of thought, and Deng Xibin couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, "Since you said so, Second Miss, then Uncle Deng will ask the two sisters-in-law of the Ji family to come to our house to help." ”
Ren Hanyue smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into two crescents, "Then it's decided!"
Deng Xibin nodded again and again, "It's decided." It's decided. ”
Ren Hanyue ran back to the main landlord's house with a puff of smoke.
When she entered, Ren Zixian was personally feeding Yao Yuzhi medicine, while Ji Wu and Wang Wenshi were sitting on the kang to persuade Yao Yuzhi to pay attention to maintenance.
Seeing her come in, Ren Hantang immediately came over and asked her, "Yue'er, what are you doing?"
Ren Hanyue's big eyes blinked, "I'm going to see the ewe that Uncle Deng brought back." ”
"Ewe?" Ren Hanjun's beautiful little face was full of surprise, "Then do we have more goat milk to drink?"
Ren Hanyue shook his head, "I don't know, Uncle Deng didn't say it." ”
Hearing the conversation between the three children, Ji Wushi explained to them with a smile, "It depends on whether your Uncle Deng brings back a dairy sheep or a meat sheep." If it's a dairy goat, you will have more goat milk to drink, and if it is a meat sheep, although you won't have more goat milk to drink, you will have mutton to eat, which is also very good. ”
Hearing the word "mutton", Ren Hantang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Since he came to Qushan Island, he has only eaten mutton once, and now he has long been panicking.
If it weren't for the fact that the conditions at home were not as good as before, Ren Hantang would have been clamoring to eat mutton.
His expression that was obviously salivating but reluctant to show it stung Ren Zixian's eyes, he put down the already empty medicine bowl, and then raised his big hand and touched the top of his son's black hair with love.
Ren Hantang looked ignorant, but everyone else understood that Ren Zixian felt sorry for his son.
Everyone wanted to explain or comfort Ren Zixian, but before they could speak, Deng Xibin's footsteps were already heard at the moon cave gate in the backyard and front yard.
He ran fast and landed hard, and the sound of thump was heard clearly through the open back window.
The green tendons on Ren Zixian's forehead jumped, "Xibin, when did your kid become so frizzy?"
Deng Xibin stopped suddenly, his expression was anxious and a little confused, "No...... General, it's not me who is frizzy, it's our backyard ......"
Ren Zixian raised his hand to interrupt him, "You said those coffins? I brought them back." ”
Deng Xibin was stunned for a moment.
Ren Zixian beckoned to him with a headache, "Come in, I'll tell you about my experience over the years." ”
Deng Xibin actually wanted to ask for a long time, and at this time, Ren Zixian took the initiative to mention that he naturally had no reason to miss, so he immediately trotted around to the front yard, and then took three steps and two steps into the hall where the guests were entertained.
Ji Wu's, Wang Wen's, Deng Qin's and Ren Hanyue's sisters and brothers were all in the East House, and even Yao Yuzhi was helped by Ren Zixian to sit on the chair beside him.
Deng Xibin looked around, and then ran to the vacant seat next to Deng Qin's side and sat down.
Ren Zixian caught a glimpse of the people, cleared his throat a little, and began to tell about his thrilling encounters over the years.
Only then did everyone know that He Qi, the eunuch who was sent to assassinate Ren Zixian, actually placed a secret medicine called "Immortal Pour" in the Zhuangxing wine given by the emperor, which was colorless and tasteless, but it could paralyze people's nerves and lose their strength.
Because it is a royal wine, not drinking it is equivalent to resisting the decree, so Ren Zixianrao is vigilant in his heart, but he still took two sips of it.
It was these two sips of wine that showed his loyalty that robbed him of his ability to command and charge on the battlefield.
The commander was seriously injured and fell into a coma, his life hung by a thread, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were in turmoil, and the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, who had already colluded with He Qi, the eunuch who betrayed the country in the Southern Dynasty, immediately ordered his subordinates to kill the Southern Dynasty army led by Ren Zixian.
Although it has been three years, Ren Zixian still remembers the tragedy of that battle.
At that time, he couldn't speak or move, Gu Feng and Tang Yu could only take turns to take him by his side, and those personal guards he had cultivated single-handedly fought to the death with the cooperation of other soldiers, paving a bloody way for him to escape with their own lives.
Ren Zixian will never forget the stumps/limbs and blood/stains left on the ground under their feet when Gu Feng and Tang Yu took him to hide secretly, those were all soldiers he brought out with his own hands, some of them were old, some were in the prime of life, and some were just reaching the crown.
They survived in the process of defending the frontier and fighting against foreign enemies, but they died in despair and resentment in the calculations of "their own people".
When he said this, Ren Zixian's face was gloomy and could drip water, although he didn't say it explicitly, but everyone who listened heard his resentment against the royal family of the Southern Dynasty and the group of eunuchs.
As veterans who have also been immersed in the barracks for several years, Deng Xibin and Ren Hanyue have a better understanding of the fierce killing intent he shows, and they believe that as long as they have that ability, Ren Zixian will definitely seek justice for his dead robe.
After that, because Ren Zixian was too seriously injured and had been unconscious for a long time, Gu Feng and Tang Yu could only hide while trying every means to extend the medicine for Ren Zixian.
Fortunately, the most important thing for their Ren family army near the border line is popularity, and the people have suffered because of the war, but there are still many people who are willing to help them hide their whereabouts, and try their best to ask for a credible doctor for Ren Zixian.
Under the deliberate spread of well-intentioned people, it took less than a month for the news of the fire in the Funiu Mountain Courtyard and the death of Yao Yuzhi and others to spread to the area where Ren Zixian and them were hiding.
In order to avoid irritating Ren Zixian, who already had only one breath left, Gu Feng, Tang Yu and the people who were eager to help them all invariably concealed the news from Ren Zixian.
It wasn't until a year later that Ren Zixian was able to go to the ground on his own, and the three of them began to prepare for the south.
Of course, in this process, Ren Zixian, who was still injured and well-wounded, was only responsible for commanding and guiding the orphans who were willing to follow them out of the local area for training.
The work of buying horses, buying weapons, arranging fake identities, and raising funds through hunting, selling mountain goods, and killing the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty who were causing chaos everywhere was all handled by Gu Feng and Tang Yu with the orphans who were growing and becoming stronger.
