Chapter 109: Crazy Men and Women
"No, no, no, I don't mean anything else, I miss my hometown next, and I sighed for a while, so I found a place to drink."
Xu Yi went out to pull Zhu Xiaozhu's hand suddenly stiffened in mid-air, and he explained in a panic with a thick embarrassment on his face.
Zhu Xiaozhu looked over, and sure enough, he saw a wine gourd in the pavilion behind Xu Yi.
Is it really a sullen drink?
Zhu Xiaozhu blinked her eyes in confusion.
However, the little milk doll is too young, and she can't remember too many things in her heart, and the little milk doll doesn't know where General Xu Yi is from.
She blinked her big bright eyes and tilted her little head to stare at Xu Yi's face: "Uncle Xu, where is your hometown?" β
In my impression, General Xu Yi has stayed in Dingbei Wangfu since he was born.
It's fine not to ask this question.
As soon as this question was asked, Xu Yi's face became even more stiff.
Zhu Xiaozhu blinked in confusion, Xu Yi turned his head violently, as if there were tears on his face: "People in the south of the Yangtze River...... It has been more than ten years since my parents died early. β
"Where are the people in Jiangnan?"
General Xu Yi, such a big man and three rough men, turned out to be from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Xiaozhu felt novel, she ran over, and grabbed Xu Yi's sleeve familiarly, looking like a good little brother: "Uncle Xu Yi, don't be sad, Xiaozhu'er will drink with you!" β
"Little county lord!" The wind was nervous, and she hurriedly came behind Zhu Xiaozhu, tense all over, staring at Xu Yi vigilantly.
Xu Yi was already a little drunk at this time, he didn't notice the hostility of the wind, just looked at Zhu Xiaozhu's appearance as a little adult, and couldn't help but feel cute.
"Where does the little lord drink? It's getting dark, so let's go back quickly. Xu Yi shook his head and gently touched Zhu Xiaozhu's little head, Zhu Xiaozhu crossed his hands on his waist: "Uncle Xu, don't treat puppets as brothers!" β
Listen to what this little girl is saying!
He called his uncle, and he wanted to be a brother to others.
Isn't that a generation's errand?
"Hahaha!" Xu Yi was amused all of a sudden, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, his laughter was hearty, not at all like a spy who would betray his brother in life and death.
Zhu Xiaozhu pretended to be angry, she put her hands around her chest, and snorted angrily: "Why is Uncle Xu laughing?" β
"You're too young to drink, be obedient." After Xu Yi finished laughing, his face showed a touch of loneliness.
He wondered if he would have had a family and a lovely child if he hadn't made that decision back then.
Zhu Xiaozhu observed the words and looks, and immediately saw Xu Yi's emotional changes.
The villain in Zhu Xiaozhu's heart crossed his legs and knees, touching his little chin and thinking: I had never heard of General Xu before that he was actually from Jiangnan.
But General Xu said that his parents died ten years ago, so what prompted General Xu's rebellion?
Other relatives in the family?
There is certainly something to be done with all this.
It's just that I haven't found it yet.
Zhu Xiaozhu nodded secretly, he watched Xu Yi drink again, and he was not hostile to himself, the little milk doll simply smiled and waved at Zhu Xiaozhu: "Okay, okay, then I'll come to drink with you when I grow up, Uncle Xu, you must remember our agreement." β
This sentence is also Zhu Xiaozhu's reminder and retreat to Xu Yi.
After all, Xu Yi is the one who saved his father, if he is willing to stop the loss in time and confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, I believe that his father will definitely forgive him.
Xu Yi didn't hear the meaning of Zhu Xiaozhu's words.
He just thought this little milk doll was funny.
The melancholy in his eyes is also more intense.
She...... Must still be alive, right?
Since the death of his parents, he was sent by his aunt and uncle to join the army in place of his cousin.
I never knew that when I was very young, I had married the daughter of a friend of my parents.
It wasn't until the end of the war ten years ago that I didn't know about such a marriage.
It's just that at that time, when she is about to stand, the woman is only twenty-eight beautiful.
Xu Yi knew that his body on the battlefield was full of holes, and his appearance was not liked by girls, so he simply wrote a letter and asked the woman to find her husband's family on her own, and she didn't have to take the jokes from many years ago to heart.
He has not been home for many years, and his parents have left, and the verbal marriage contract will not be counted, otherwise it will harm the woman.
But I never expected that the woman and his family were people who valued love and righteousness.
Xu Yi sighed, thinking of the letter he received when he was about to go to Jiangnan Town.
According to the letter, the woman is still waiting for her and has never left the cabinet.
Xu Yi's heart tugged suddenly.
The Jiangnan area is flooded every year, life is miserable, the woman's parents are old, and there are brothers and sisters-in-law at home, under the pressure of the world and gossip, how have you spent all these years?
As long as he thought of this, Xu Yi's heart couldn't stop hurting.
The meaning of the woman's letter is obvious.
He wanted Xu Yi to give him an explanation, why didn't he fulfill the marriage contract?
She wanted Xu Yi to see what she looked like with her own eyes before deciding whether the marriage contract would continue.
The woman felt that Xu Yi had repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield and had seen so many beauties in the capital, so she didn't want to recognize her, and she deliberately shirked her and didn't marry her.
"But the little girl has known since she was a child that she has a fiancΓ© who has made contributions on the frontier, if she doesn't wait for him in this life, I will let him see the appearance of the slave family with his own eyes, and if he doesn't hear him say that he doesn't like the slave family, the slave family will not be willing."
"Unless, he has already started a family in the capital, otherwise, the slave family will wait for him to come back for the rest of his life!"
A verbal marriage bound the woman for twenty-six years.
Xu Yi felt his heart tremble when he thought about it.
He didn't know why the woman thought like that, but he finally saw the woman's affection and righteousness.
So......
A sip of soju into his throat dispelled the chill on his body, Xu Yi stared at the handkerchief that the woman gave him in the letter, and suddenly clenched his fists.
I'm sorry......
β¦β¦
"Hurry up, General Xu Yi is distracted, let's go first!"
Jingnan Yu covered Yan Cijiu, and a group of people sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion.
They are just a group of children who have not yet reached the waist height of adults, everyone is busy surviving in this troubled world, and no one will notice these little beans.
Seeing that Yan Cijiu and they went back smoothly, Zhu Xiaozhu also said goodbye to Xu Yi.
The sky was getting more and more gloomy, Zhu Xiaozhu walked on the stone road of the City Lord's Mansion with his little hands behind his back, and said softly: "You say, did General Xu Yi be threatened because he knew that he still had relatives alive in Jiangnan?" β
"Possibly." Yan Cijiu nodded.
