Bao Yuanqian was about to wake up, but it was late at night, and he sat on the roof of the flat-roofed earth rammed house of the Bao family, looking at the clear moon covered by dark clouds in the distance.

He had a lot of thoughts in his heart, recalling that he was called to the yamen last night and saw the five big brothers who had been separated for nearly two months.

They were devastated, dressed in tattered robes, with stubble on their faces, apparently untrimmed for a long time.

He and his younger brother accompanied the officials in the yamen to restore the situation of that day, and then they learned that after they fled separately, Brother Gao and they fled all the way along the northwest.

After a lot of chasing and bloody battles, several brothers were killed by arrows falling from their horses, Gao Da and Liu Sandao escaped from the heavens, but they got lost, and the horses died of thirst for two days in the desert Gobi, and they could only drink horse blood and horse urine.

On the third day, when the two were about to despair, they encountered desert horse bandits, who were originally wanted criminals in the Ming Dynasty and outlaws of the Mongol tribes. Galloping outside the gate all the year round, Hu Han eats all.

The two of them lured each other to save their lives, but they were taken captive to the bandits' den, but they accidentally met the tiger master and their other three survivors.

The five of them stayed in the bandits' den for nearly two months, and were called as pigs and dogs, and finally encountered the fire of the bandits' nest before fleeing to the realm of the Zhongshun King in Hami.

Anke Timur, the king of Zhongshun, treated them well, gave them a meal of food and drink, and entertained them with fast horses, and then braved thousands of miles of wind and sand to return to Jiayuguan and brought back the letter of the king of Zhongshun.

As soon as Deng Li and the others opened the letter, they fell into the generous Chinese language, and there was a seal of loyalty to the king at the place of payment, and everyone realized that what the five people who returned in embarrassment were true.

The slightest doubt they had in their hearts was dispelled, and this man could lie, but the seal of loyalty to the king would not lie.

Bao Yuanqian and Jiang Wei were originally suspicious of these people, but when they heard that they had encountered desert horse bandits, they suddenly understood why their treasures were dug up, and it turned out that his mother's horse bandits did it!

Bao Yuanqian sighed lightly, there were sixteen people when he went, and now there are only seven people in the second batch back, really.... Ay....

However, this time Deng Pingyu has some conscience, although more than a dozen people went out of the customs to fight tooth sacrifices without permission, but after all, he has his own little abacus in his heart, and he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

simply turn the big things into small ones, and focus on appeasement.

Let the five eldest brothers not have to return to the camp for the time being, and rest at home for a period of time, as for the nine people who were killed or missing, they will all be given to their families according to the death pension in the army, which can be regarded as suppressing the matter.

"What do you think?"

A question pulled Bao Yuanqian back from his thoughts, he looked sideways, but at some point Sarenya climbed up the wooden ladder and was sitting beside him watching.

Bao Yuanqian shook his head, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" He said to himself that he didn't sleep last night, and he started to sleep at noon today until the night was jet lag, what did she do?

"I see you came back this morning mysteriously, what's wrong?"

Bao Yuanqian sighed: "Little things... It has nothing to do with you. ”

"Oh."

"But there's one thing that has a lot to do with you."

Sarenya's eyes widened and she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The two adults in the yamen said last night that in two days, the Xingdu Si and the pedestrians will return to Ganzhou, and they will take you back to the yamen to live temporarily, until someone from the Northern Yuan Dynasty comes to pick you up."

Sarenya frowned and shook her head when she heard this, and said unhappily: "I won't go there!" I can't go anywhere all day, like I'm in a cage, I don't go! ”

Bao Yuanqian looked at him and said helplessly: "It's not for me to decide, and... The missing sergeants have also returned, and they are all resting in the city, and they all know you, so to be on the safe side, you should still listen to the arrangement of the superiors. ”

"Besides... I reckon that soon the men sent by your brother will also arrive, and you won't be staying long. ”

Although the five of them were loyal to the king's letter, after all, it was still extremely secretive when it came to Sa Renya, and as a precaution, Deng and Li decided to wait for the people of Xingdu to leave, and then take Sa Renya back under their noses to watch.

Sarenya was deflated, and threw a ball of dirt beside her in her heart.

"Ouch!"

I only heard a wail in the house, and it turned out to be a bag with the same jet lag walking out and just being hit.

Seeing that she was in trouble, Sa Renya hurriedly hid behind Bao Yuanqian, who reluctantly beckoned to his younger brother.

At this time, a drop of raindrop in the sky fell on Bao Yuanqian's face, and the raindrop was as big as a bean.

Bao Yuanqian has lived in the border pass for a long time, and knows that the rain in the desert Gobi does not come often, and it must have been brewing for a long time, and the storm and rain poured enough at one time.

It hadn't rained all summer, and it looked like a downpour.

................

The heavy rain crackled this night, and the sparse uproar poured in, and Bao Yuanqian woke up and found that the thunder outside was dense, and the dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and he couldn't see the sun.

Before he had eaten his breakfast, he heard the bell of the carriage outside the house ringing in the wind and rain.

This voice couldn't be more familiar, it was Cui Yingying's carriage.

As soon as he came out of the stove room, he saw Sa Renya leaning out, looking out of the house, and looking at Bao Yuanqian with a playful expression, "The old man has come to you, why don't you go soon?" ”

Bao Yuanqian glared for a moment, and went out with an umbrella to take a look.

I saw that Cui Yingying had already gotten out of the carriage, but this time she didn't bring the big-mouthed ring, she was still another maid she didn't know, holding a big umbrella.

"Brother Bao, get in the car and talk about it."

Bao Yuanqian nodded, but this was not the place to speak, so he got into the carriage.

Cui Yingying sighed lightly, and followed into the carriage, the two of them didn't know what to say when they sat down, they were originally close people, but now they were extremely embarrassed.

"Brother Bao, there were many misunderstandings when I came back this time, and I didn't have time to talk to you carefully, and I found you today." Cui Yingying was the first to speak to break the silence.

Bao Yuanqian smiled: "It's okay to be blunt. ”

Cui Yingying listened, pursed her lips, and said slowly: "The Cui family and the Dou family are world friends, and I have only heard of Dou Gongzi in the past. My father's marriage contract to me. ”

"It's okay, love is free, I'm not pedantic." Bao Yuanqian smiled lightly, he saw it now.

Childhood sweetheart... He has always been invincible to the heavens, and he is not surprised.

Ling Hu Chong is like this, Yue Lingshan is like this, and Lin Pingzhi is also like this.

Cui Yingying said again: "Maybe Brother Bao misunderstood, Yingying has always regarded Brother Bao as a caring person who can say intimate words, a good big brother who can shelter from the wind and rain, not..."

"I came here today to clarify this relationship, Brother Bao... Sorry, don't blame. ”

Bao Yuanqian shook his head, "This is the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, I have no objection, and I will not bother you again, I am very grateful that you can tell me what is in my heart and say goodbye." ”

He has nothing to be sad about, he is a person in the future, and he will break up when he breaks up.

There is a saying that bye-bye, bye-bye, and the next one is better!

He jumped out of the carriage and splashed a puddle of rain.

Cui Yingying lifted the curtain and said: "Brother Bao, don't worry, this is Yingying's last thought." Then he asked the maidservant girl under the carriage to come with a bag of clattering silver.

Bao Yuanqian said with his hand: "Miss Cui is still underestimated, but now that she has been promoted to an official and has made a small fortune, this silver... Now the old Bao family is not lacking in this, please take it back. ”

"This..."

The maid was still a little hesitant, but saw that Bao Yuanqian had already walked away with her back dashing.

"That's it."

Cui Yingying saw that Bao Yuanqian was not as excited or angry as he originally thought, but he was quite calm, and his heart was not a good feeling, so he sighed lightly and lowered the curtain, and as soon as the bell rang, he left in the rain.

Bao Yuanqian's heart is really goodbye, this tall brother returned safely, and his fate with Cui Yingying is goodbye.

When fate is over, it's really half a point.

"Look up to the sky and laugh and abandon the door, how can my generation be a Penghao person?" Bao Yuanqian had no memory and walked into the house.

It can be regarded as a farewell to the feelings of this life.
