By the time Zhou Weiji arranged things to rush to the village, it was already full of cold stars.

He didn't have to go home, but he was thinking about Lan Yi at home.

Such a big mountain fire, such a big movement, she must have known about it, the little girl must be worried about him, Zhou Wei quickly sped up.

Many families in the village have rested and there are no lights. In the howling cold wind, Zhou Weiji led the horse gently through, but did not shatter the tranquility of the mountain village.

"Squeak", he was still some distance away from Lan Yi's house, the door was opened, and Lan Yi, who was wearing a hat and a cloak, walked out. She didn't light the lantern, her eyes widened and she looked carefully at the tall figure that was gradually approaching, and her heart that had been hanging was put down.

But the mist involuntarily gathered in his eyes.

Today, she and Jia took the child into the county seat in the ox cart sent on Thursday, and on the way to learn that the Daqing Mountain in the north of the county had fought all night, and the bandits had lit a mountain fire, and I heard that many people had died, and I heard that the ox carts pulling the corpses were lined up one after another for more than a mile, and I heard that thousands of forbidden troops had come to close the mountains and close the port to take the bandits......

Lan Yi panicked, Zhou Weiji had not come back for several days since he went into the mountains to catch bandits! Is there anything wrong with him?

It must be fine! Lan Yi didn't care about shopping, so she went back with the child with Jia's family, and rode a donkey to the north gate of the county seat to inquire about the news. There were really a lot of dead people, lying flat on the ox cart covered with a white cloth and being pulled back, the relatives were crying around, she forced herself to calmly pull a black-faced man in a fast suit, and asked him to see Zhou Weiji.

The man sat on the horse, and hesitantly looked down at the pale little daughter-in-law in front of the horse, not knowing what to say.

A white-faced catcher in the back saw Lan Yi soon. jumped off the horse, "Zhou Bantou is still in the mountains, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out for a while." ”

"Thank you. He. Was he injured? "People are always greedy, and when they know that he is alive, they want to know if he is hurt.

Bai Mian quickly grabbed a handful of reddened ears, "The head of the squad is a little injured, but the arms and legs are still there, sister-in-law don't worry." ”

What does it mean that the arms and legs are still there! Lan Yi's heart hung up again, what was the little injury? She looked at the carloads of corpses that had been brought back. It's hard to ask again.

The white-faced catcher also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and scratched his ears and cheeks and didn't know what to do. At this time, the black-faced catcher also knew Lan Yi's identity, and jumped down and took the white-faced catcher aside. "Sister-in-law, Zhou Bantou is fine, you can rest assured to go home and wait. This man is in a mess, don't be hurt. ”

Lan Yi nodded in thanks. Turning to look at the smoke rising from the distant mountains.

The white-faced catcher came over again. reminded: "Sister-in-law, you can't go over there, the mountain has been closed, and the fire is being put out." ”

Lan Yi took a deep breath and stared at Zhou Weiji's figure for a long time before returning to the village, waiting anxiously.

He's finally back! Lan Yi stretched out her cold hand, rubbed her eyes and patted her face, and greeted her with a smile.

"Brother Tuesday. You're back. ”

"Well, I'll be back. Go back to the house, it's cold. ”

As soon as she arrived, she opened the door and came out, afraid that she had been waiting by the door. Zhou Weiji looked at her little red nose, secretly blamed himself, pulled the reins of the horse, knew that she would be stupid and wait outside, so she shouldn't feel sorry for the sunspot, and rushed back early on horseback.

Kuroko snorted, lowered his horse's head and raised his big black eyes, looking at his master dissatisfied.

He had been pulling the reins with his right hand, but now he was leading the horse with his left hand, and his right arm was injured.

He didn't say it, she didn't know, and stepped forward to take the reins of the horse, "Second brother, the sunspot is in the donkey shed in this courtyard tonight, you go home and get a change of clothes, I boiled hot water, you go to the greenhouse to wash and eat." ”

If Heizi goes back, Zhou Weiji will have to fetch water and drink horses.

Heizi obediently followed Lan Yi home, Zhou Weiji was stunned, raised his hand and sniffed, fortunately, the smell of blood on his body was smoked.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lan Yi first brought a bucket of warm water to Kuroko, sprinkled wheat bran for him to drink slowly, and added good forage. Kuroko was covered in dust, arched Lan Yi with his nose, and drank a big gulp.

The little donkey stood in front of the trough with a snort, clinging to the sunspot and refusing to give way, and he must defend his position as the boss in front of Xiaobai Xiaohuo.

Lan Yi only patted it and went back to the kitchen. Jia Shi was boiling water, "Wei Ji is back?" ”

"Well, he's fine." Lan Yi definitely didn't know how brisk her tone was now.

Jia Shi helped carry two buckets of hot water into the greenhouse, and carried two buckets of cold water, "I'm also a little tired today, so I'll sleep first." ”

Lan Yi knew what she meant, and nodded embarrassedly.

When Zhou Weiji came over with a change of clothes, Lan Yi took him to the greenhouse, where the fire was warm and relieving.

"Squeak!" The little monkey resting on the bamboo frame saw Zhou Weiji walk in, rushed to the corner of the greenhouse, grabbed the oilcloth, pushed open the grass fence, and ran out.

"What is this?"

Lan Yi looked at the tarpaulin that had been scratched again, and smiled helplessly, "The little macaque that came from nowhere yesterday won't leave when it comes." Brother Tuesday don't care about it, the water is already boiling, you wash it well, and put the dirty clothes here. I'm going to stir-fry two dishes. ”

"You don't have to stir-fry, just eat whatever you want."

Lan Yi nodded, and involuntarily looked at his drooping right arm before leaving.

The buckets, scoops and wooden basins on the small kang are also warm in Zhou Weiji's heart.

"Squeak-" The little monkey in the yard who was blowing the cold wind hesitated for a long time, then opened the grass fence and secretly looked at Zhou Weiji through the hole.

Zhou Weiji, who was rinsing his upper body naked, glanced back at it.

"Squeak-" The little monkey blew up, but refused to leave.

Zhou Weiji ignored it and quickly rinsed his hair.

The little monkey hesitated for a long time, slowly walked into the greenhouse, and squatted in the grass next to the hole.

Zhou Weiji freshened up and walked into the kitchen, Lan Yi's dishes had already been fried.

"Let's go to the East House and eat, it's warm there." Lan Yi lowered her eyes and walked in front with the dish.

Zhou Weiji followed her silently, and the two children rested with Jia Shi in the West House, and there was only an oil lamp lit in the East House, which warmly illuminated the steaming white porridge and white flour steamed buns on the table.

Stir-fried meat with cucumber fungus, scrambled eggs with spinach, and stir-fried cabbage core. They are all light vegetables that are good for wound healing. The little girl knew that she was good meat, Zhou Weiji pursed her lips and grabbed her.

"One by one. I just hurt my arm, so it's okay. ”

Lan Yi nodded, tried to pull the corners of her mouth, and said briskly, "En." Second brother, hurry up and eat it while it's hot. ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, picked up the porridge bowl with his left hand and drank it in one gulp, and Lan Yi added another bowl of porridge to him from the hot porridge on the small stove in the house. When he turned around, he found that Zhou Weiji was eating with chopsticks firmly in his left hand, and his right hand was on his lap.

Lan Yi watched him eat his food in a big gulp. He opened his mouth a few times in distress, but finally sighed softly and looked at the other side with a smiling face.

Zhou Wei finished eating quickly. Help Lan Yi clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the dinner table and go to the kitchen.

"Brother Tuesday, are you going to the yamen tomorrow?"

Zhou Weiji nodded, "I still have to go." ”

The day after tomorrow will be Ya Sui, except for the mountain bandits. I'm sure there's a lot to do in the city, too. He was injured and couldn't rest at home.

"Then the second brother hurry up and go back to rest, remember to burn the kang and drink more hot water."

Zhou Weiji looked at the little girl who hung his head, sighed and pulled her into his arms and hugged her gently, "Don't worry, I'm not doing well." ”

Lan Yi gritted her teeth and forced her tears back, "I'm not worried!" ”

Zhou Weiji's heart was soft. couldn't help but lift her chin, and the little girl had two bubbles of tears in her eyes. Embarrassed, he turned his head and rubbed his eyes.

"I'm really fine, it's just that my arm was touched by the bandit's knife, and I'll be fine in a few days."

Lan Yi lightly touched his right arm, not knowing where he was injured, "Have you taken the medicine after taking a shower?" ”

"Hmm."

Lan Yi quickly brushed the dishes and chopsticks, and found that Zhou Weiji was still standing in the kitchen, looking at him calmly.

"Second brother, go to sleep."

Although Zhou Weiji hadn't closed his eyes for two days and nights, he still wanted to talk to her.

"I have something to tell you, let's go back to the house."

Lan Yi's eyes widened suddenly, looking at him brightly, she thought that he would not tell her about catching bandits.

Zhou Weiji looked at her fawn-like eyes, this little girl can always make him soft-hearted. Obviously worried about his situation, but stubbornly refused to ask more. is such a big little person, but he always has to take the posture of an adult, and he is sensible and distressing.

Zhou Weiji briefly talked about the events of the past two days, Lan Yi was still thrilled to hear it, how could it be so dignified, the remnants of Western Xia would come here?

"My brother-in-law and Gao Feng are all right, right?"

Zhou Weiji thought of that sassy Lei Tianze, dressed in brand-new white clothes, which stood out among the gray-faced people!

"They're all good. Wu Feng shot the bandit leader and pulled out the merit, and we plan to report to the imperial court to ask for merit for him. "It's effortless to say it. Zhou Weiji also told the story of shooting and injuring Li Jiqian on the Huitian Cliff.

"Can it really be done?" Lan Yi's eyes widened, the relationship between the Khitan and the Great Zhou was tense, Dao Wufeng's father was a Khitan, maybe it was still a Khitan royal family, could Dao Wufeng's meritorious service really make him okay this time? He killed so many people.

"With the credit of Wu Feng, it is enough to cover the fault of two lives. My Da Zhou and Khitan did not ban marriage twenty years ago, and there are not many intermarriages between the two clans in the border cities, and it is not uncommon for Wu Feng to be like this. Today, the Holy God governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and the law is changed more often, giving prisoners more opportunities to reform themselves. I heard the fourth brother say that the old general Gao Huaide favored Wufeng, and it may not be difficult to have his old man to help. ”

Two lives, isn't there a family of dozens of people, what else is going on here? Lan Yi didn't ask in detail, she was aroused by another person's name, "Second brother, the inspection envoy of the forbidden army on Shamen Island is Gao Huaide Gao, the old general?" ”

Gao Huaide! In history, Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law, the founding general Gao Huaide! Although history has changed, the original people still exist.

Zhou Wei replied very lightly, "En." ”

Lan Yi has a lot of things she wants to ask, but she feels that it has nothing to do with her, so what's the use of asking!

"Second brother, I want to see your injuries."

Zhou Wei was stunned, and wanted to refuse, but when he saw the little girl's wet eyes looking at him, he unbuttoned and took off his padded jacket, and pulled up his underwear, revealing his upper arms wrapped in white cloth.

If she doesn't let her see it, she'll be more worried.

Lan Yi leaned over and looked at his upper arm that had just been wrapped in a white cloth after changing the dressing, blood was oozing, there were still a few bloody scratches on his forearm, and when he looked up, he saw that there were also many scratches on his chin and neck.

Lan Yi couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Silly girl, it's just a little injury, it's fine." Zhou Weiji's heart was numb, and he pulled tears for her and flowed out again, not knowing what to do.

"Second brother, I saw it at the north gate today, one by one ox carts pulled back a lot of dead and wounded soldiers, I was crowded in the crowd, I didn't dare to look, I was so afraid." Weakness is weakness, she said it anyway.

She saw it all? No wonder when I came back today, I felt that her love was wrong.

"There are many bandits in the mountains, and their martial arts are not bad. The Xiang army in Huang County suffered heavy casualties, and they were all well-known local heroes. ”

When he went up the mountain to find Bai Pengchuan's body, he was lying on a stone, missing an arm, with an extra knife on his abdomen and back, a piece of bandit's meat in his mouth, his eyes widened, and his face was full of hideous smiles.

Feeling the sadness and pride in Zhou Weiji's tone, Lan Yi nodded sullenly, "En." ”

She knew that defending the territory would take a brave fight, but how would their families deal with it? "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream".

Zhou Weiji saw that she was so depressed and uncomfortable, so he took her hand and changed the topic: "In the underground giant cave, there are still a lot of grain, cotton and clothes robbed by the bandits, and the yamen has sent someone to inform the boatmen who will be robbed and let them go to collect them." ”

The thieves robbed several merchant ships and fled through the river without carrying them away. Lan Yi remembered the tricks of the thieves that Zhou Weiji said, and had to admire their strategy, but unfortunately they met Zhou Weiji and Dao Wufeng and others, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they were afraid that their tricks would really succeed. They may also be underestimated.

"If I can retrieve these things this time, I guess the life of the Hua family will be better." Lan Yi remembered Hua Changye's haggard appearance, and it was indeed a blessing in misfortune to be able to recover it.

Zhou Weiji nodded.

"After the Asian New Year, I will take a leave of absence to rest at home for a while, and accompany you and the children to go around." They are now married, and they can go out together during the New Year's holidays.

Lan Yi shook her head, "It's too cold, and it's not getting better, second brother should take care of his injuries at home." Second brother, is the mountain fire burning badly? ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, "Tiangan, there are a few mountains on fire, if it weren't for a few rivers across them, I'm afraid it would be even more powerful." ”

Last night's mountain wind was very strong, and it was very difficult to put out the fire.

"Burned several hills?" Lan Yi thought about that scene, how many trees and animals in the forest had to be burned to death!

Zhou Weiji saw her frowning and said with relief: "Don't worry, the mountains will still be green when spring warms up next year." ”

Mountains will be green, but it will take years for a small tree to grow, right? How should the hunters of those villages live? Lan Yi sighed.

Zhou Weiji saw her like this, and remembered that she said that she was not a person in this world, and the mountains and forests burned her so sadly, isn't it...... (To be continued......)
