Looking at the letter, Shen Youqiu's heart suddenly lifted.

"Nothing happened to your general."

The man who delivered the letter shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that the war has become more and more dangerous recently, so the general is a little tired, and the letter is not so easy to deliver, the general said that he hopes Miss Shen won't blame him, as long as he has time, he will definitely write to the girl."

"I see."

Shen Youqiu folded the letter, bought a lot of food as usual, and wrote a letter to ask about his current situation.

When everything was ready, the man who delivered the letter left in a hurry.

Shen Youqiu looked at his back, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

It's just that the fragmentary news coming from the imperial court now is basically Qi Jingxing's army defeating the enemy, and there is no news that he is in danger, which makes her feel a little more relieved.

Looking at the far north, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her back.

If so, if only I could go to the battlefield and find him.

She thought to herself.

"It's back!"

Mo Shi shouted in the courtyard, "Youqiu, you come to help me roll the dough this year, and we are going to make dumplings to eat."

"Hey, okay, I'm back!"

Shen Youqiu hurriedly responded.

"Ruyue, you put copper plates in the dumplings." Mo Shi looked at the little guy who was following with a look and stuffing on the side, and said with a smile: "You can put whichever you want, and let's compete later, to see who can eat dumplings with copper plates."

"Good!"

Ruyue's eyes immediately smiled with joy.

Mo smiled softly, looking at some of the dumpling wrappers that had been rolled out, a trace of sadness and longing flashed in his eyes.

"I don't know what happened to Mingyue now."

Hearing his mother's whisper, Shen Youqiu's heart moved, and a sour feeling couldn't help but spread.

"Ruyue, he will definitely be very good, how can a person who likes to eat so much not eat dumplings?"

Shen Youqiu smiled and comforted, "Mother doesn't have to worry too much about him."

"How can you not be worried."

Mo shook his head, "It's also my son."

"Hmm."

Shen Youqiu nodded, lowered his eyes and said, "Otherwise, leave him a bowl of dumplings, he must want to eat the dumplings made by your mother, but unfortunately he can't eat them this year, let's leave a bowl of meaning."

"Good!"

Mohs nodded, "Leave him a bowl."

At night, when everyone was asleep, Shen Youqiu got up and quietly came to the kitchen.

When I opened the kitchen, I saw a bowl full of dumplings.

It was specially left by Mo's for Shen Mingyue.

Looking at the plump dumplings, Shen Youqiu's eyes were a little sour.

This brother died for her, but she hadn't thought of this brother for a long time, she really deserved to die, how could she forget him?

He is the younger brother for life.

Thinking about it, she stepped forward gently, put the dumplings in the food box, and left with the food box.

Two quarters of an hour later, she came to the little tomb.

"Mingyue, this is a dumpling made by my mother, she specially left it for you, you can taste it."

As she spoke, she took out the dumplings, and then took out the yellow paper, gold ingots and other things she bought during the day, and lit them on the ground.

A cluster of flames suddenly ignited in the wilderness, and the sporadic heat dispelled the cold around the cemetery little by little.

"I haven't come to see you for a long time, and I don't know if you resent my sister."

She said softly, with a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, "Actually, you can live for a long time, don't you, you just made this choice, you are really willful, now you are alone below, I don't know if you are lonely or not, whether you have made other friends, whether you have met new people, but with your temperament, you should not be bullied."

"Still, I won't let you be down there

So poor, sister, I burned a lot of gold ingots for you today, a lot of money, you can spend it as you like, if you don't have enough to spend one day, you can give me a dream."

"Speaking of which, you never seem to have been in my dreams."

She babbled for a long time, and the plate of dumplings slowly became hard from a little warmth, and the cold surface felt like frost.

"You eat slowly."

It was very late, Shen Youqiu finally stood up, said such a sentence softly, and then stood in place for a while before picking up the food box and turning to leave.

The moment she turned around, the flame of the lit incense candle shook slightly, and under the faint light, there seemed to be a shadow flashing.

But when you look closely, there is nothing.

The next day was the first day of the new year.

Mo got up early in the morning and came to the kitchen early, and then, at a glance, he found that the big plate of dumplings that had been placed last night was missing.

She was stunned for a moment, suddenly didn't know what she thought, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and when she looked up again, her eyes were slightly red.

At the beginning of the new year, everyone is about to start visiting relatives, and the courtyard is full of lively sounds, children's laughter, the sound of firecrackers, and the feeling of festivity permeates the capital.

Xiao Ruyue was tracing words in the house, but when she heard so many children playing outside, she couldn't help but prick up her ears and be a little distracted.

Shen Youqiu, who was reading a medical book by the fireside, noticed this scene and couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to go out and have fun?"

Xiao Ruyue immediately came back to her senses, and her ears and her whole face turned red all of a sudden, like a round red apple, which was particularly cute.

"No, I didn't."

She shook her head, trying to deny it.

But where can this be hidden from Shen Youqiu, she stood up, directly accepted her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and took two firecrackers from home to her, and carried her out of the room directly, then opened the door of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "It's not fun at this time, can't it be that you won't play for the rest of your life?" Go ahead, play around the neighborhood and maybe make a few friends, but remember, don't go too far, and don't follow strangers, you know?"

Xiao Ruyue grabbed the firecracker, her face was flushed, her eyes looked outside, and then looked at Shen Youqiu, wanting to go out, but she looked very hesitant.

"I, I'm not going."

"Go ahead."

Shen Youqiu directly hugged her out and said with a smile: "If you're afraid, just play around here, I'll leave the door open, and if you've had enough, I'll come back immediately."

"Okay."

Finally, Xiao Ruyue nodded.

She walked a few steps at the door, looking at the firecracker in her arms, a little helpless, standing in place, looking like a fake doll.

At this time, Shen Youqiu suddenly realized that this child should not have played with firecrackers since he was a child, maybe he didn't know how to play, even if he planned to teach her to play first, who knew that before this step fell, a little boy ran over.
