Chapter 121: Xiao Yingxue
"Master, Master, look, the plum blossoms are so beautiful."
A little girl in a red cotton jacket smiled and raised her fat little hand, pointing to the hillside not far away.
The slopes of the mountain are covered with plum trees, and the blooming plum blossoms dye the mountainside red.
"Master, Master, look, it's snowing outside, and this snow is so beautiful."
Seeing that the middle-aged man was just smiling and not speaking, the little girl continued to pull his cuffs.
At this time, the stove in the house was flourishing, and the girl's little face was red.
"Haha, got it, let's go out and play, remember, don't run too far." The middle-aged man finally couldn't stand the girl's "pleading" and allowed her to go out to play.
Located on the southern outskirts of the capital, it is a huge hill that is inaccessible to people.
Now that the world is at the beginning of the world, people's hearts are unstable, and the people around the capital have fled here long before the war came.
As for this middle-aged man, he has lived here for generations, and because of his good skills, he did not appear in the migration team.
"Is Brother Nie at home?"
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Please come in!"
The man surnamed Nie naturally knew who was at the door, and this was the third time that the other party had come to the door these days.
In the cold winter months, there are large snowflakes outside, but the weather is surprisingly clear.
The north wind swept by, but it couldn't blow into the old and warm hut.
The kettle on the stove was "hissing" and steaming, and the middle-aged man lifted the kettle, poured a cup of hot tea for the visitor in front of him, and waited for him to speak.
The visitor was a few years younger than him, and he was obviously familiar with him, and after taking a sip of tea, he spoke: "Brother Nie, how did you think about the things I mentioned before?" ”
“……”
Seeing that the other party was a little hesitant, the young visitor couldn't help but be a little anxious.
He leaned forward slightly, and said:
"Brother Nie, why do you prefer to be angry when the Hu people are in power, and you have to be a good catcher for the people. Now that the day is back in the hands of the Han people, you are going to retire again? ”
The middle-aged man saw that the other party seemed to have a misunderstanding, so after adding tea to him, he said softly:
"Xiao Gao, you calm down first, the Hu people are in charge, naturally someone needs someone to administer justice for the Han people, even if what I can do is limited, I also want to try to give the people justice.
Now, as you said, the world has returned to the hands of the Han people, so naturally there is no need for me to do anything extra. ”
"Oh, Brother Nie, you misunderstood, who are you, can I not know in my heart? Just when you were willing to resist the Hu barbarian with a dozen whips, you would rather save an old beggar on the street, you will always be this in the hearts of our brothers. ”
The visitor surnamed Gao gave a thumbs up as he spoke, and then continued:
"It's just that now the country has just been established, and there is a shortage of people in all walks of life. We've all signed up, and now I'm going to send you to lead us. ”
The middle-aged man was silent when he heard this, and the experience of everyone being born and dying together in the past also came to mind.
It is said that there is no danger to their lives when they are on errands in the Yamen, but they were all young and vigorous hot-blooded men at that time, and when they encountered the domineering behavior of the Hu people, they inevitably became enthusiastic, so they took care of a lot of idle things that should not be taken care of, and they also received a lot of whips that should not be taken care of.
Until now, everyone has more or less the scars of that time.
However, this did not wear down their will at all, on the contrary, they were proud of having more scars, and even had an extra rule that "the person with the most scars should invite everyone to drink", and in the end, it was always Nie Zhutou who invited guests.
"You bunnies." Thinking of this, Nie Zhutou couldn't help but scold.
Xiao Gao saw the other side smiling, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice - this matter seems to be a drama.
So he took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Brother Nie, you also know that none of our brothers will obey anyone, and whoever is pushed up to be this foreman will be opposed. Besides, if we were to be led by someone we don't know, we would be a hundred reluctant! ”
Although Xiao Gao's words are touted, his heart is sincere.
Finally, Nie Zhutou couldn't withstand the other party's emotional offensive, and finally relented: "Okay, let's go to Guanghan Building to get together another day." ”
"No problem, I'm in for a treat!" Xiao Gao slapped his chest thumping.
"You?"
Nie Zhutou suddenly changed his tone and asked playfully, "Your 'gentle and virtuous' lady will agree?" ”
Xiao Gao, who was originally high-spirited, wilted instantly after hearing the word "lady".
His lady is notoriously powerful, kneeling on the washboard and the like are commonplace, although she does not live in Hedong, but she is still named "Hedong Lion" by these errand brothers.
"Brother Nie wants to make fun of him, but you, you're almost forty, and I don't see you looking for one. With your appearance, a girl from ten miles and eight villages, which one doesn't think you can't sleep? ”
Although Xiao Gao's words are a joke, they are also reasonable, Nie Zhutou's original name is Nie Mei, and his name sounds like a woman, but his appearance is based on most people's aesthetics of men.
After hearing Xiao Gao's ridicule, Nie Mei smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Xiao Gao sighed slightly, and asked cautiously: "Is it because of that Nizi?" ”
The Nizi in his mouth is not someone else, it is the girl who is running crazy on the hillside at the moment.
Nie Mei nodded first when she heard this, and then shook her head, Xiao Gao is also a smart person, so he didn't continue to ask anything when he saw this.
To say that this girl's origin is very mysterious, even Xiao Gao, who has been friends with Nie Mei for more than ten years, doesn't know the reason.
I only know that about five years ago, Nie Mei was ordered to go out on a mission alone, and when she came back, she held a baby girl and asked him nothing about the situation.
At that time, there was a war, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, so no one bothered to inquire into such trivial matters.
After the Jingshi was broken, the gang of catchers lost their jobs all of a sudden, and everyone went home to plan their livelihoods, and now the time is five years, and the original baby girl has now grown into a girl.
……
The two chatted briefly about some of the things that were not, and seeing that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, Xiao Gao got up and said goodbye, if he went back late, he would have a washboard.
Nie Mei knew the other party's predicament, and she didn't keep it, and after the two said goodbye at the door, the girl who went out to play also happened to come back at this time.
Outside the door, the girl was holding a large handful of plum blossoms that had been broken by her.
When Nie Mei saw the girl, his originally frowning eyebrows couldn't help but stretch out, he smiled and touched the top of the other party's head, and asked softly, "Yingxue, do you want to learn martial arts?" ”
"Really, Master, are you finally willing to hand over your mastery to Yingxue?" The girl asked, blinking wide-eyed.
The man couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, why did this sound so awkward?
Nie Mei looked at the girl in front of her dotingly, and said, "Learning martial arts is very hard, are you sure you want to learn?" ”
The girl nodded her head and said proudly: "Yingxue is not afraid of hardship, I will become a god like Master in the future!" ”
"Okay, let's get inside."
When the girl walked into the house full of joy, Nie Mei looked at the snow outside the house, and the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a vague worry.
