Chapter 20: Gratitude and Prospect (Revised)

The reef has finally calmed down.

He turned his head to look at the little sister sitting beside him, slowed down his expression, and reached out to touch her head: "Brother wants to thank Tang Tang." If you hadn't advised me, I might not have been able to save my family, let alone get revenge. ”

Haitang blinked, let him touch his head, tilted his head and asked, "Why did my brother say that?" Although I have persuaded you, it is you who really make the decision, brother! ”

Haijiao smiled slightly: "But if Tang Tang didn't persuade his brother, my brother would still be bent on drilling the horns of the bull, and try his best to persuade his grandparents to leave Suzhou as soon as possible with the family!" ”

In fact, if he refused to tell the experience of his previous life, it would be impossible to convince his grandfather. And even if he said it, Grandpa might not believe him. If he hadn't disguised the information he had learned in his previous life as "news overheard from the spies", told his grandfather, and then reported to the generals of the Suzhou Guard, so that the generals increased their guarding of the well, and sent people to Jiayuguan to garrison the city, so that the Hu people and spies could not find an opportunity to take advantage of, and the Hu army was likely to still attack Suzhou City on the day of the attack in the previous life. The defenders of the city were drugged and powerless to resist, and there was no way to change the outcome of the city's destruction.

If things go this way, even if he succeeds in preserving himself, what's the point?

All the changes come from the idea that the little sister Haitang gave herself. He pretended to overhear important information from a merchant surnamed Sun, reported it to the generals, and successfully avoided the Suzhou guards from being plotted and saved, and also saved himself and his family.

Even if the little sister doesn't feel that she has any great credit, Haijiao will not forget her help to herself.

He promised Haitang: "My brother will never forget your kindness for the rest of his life." I will definitely do my best to be good to you in the future! Whatever you want, just tell your brother. As long as my brother can do it, I will definitely do it for you! ”

Haitang smiled: "My brother and sister, what is my brother polite to me?" Besides, I also wanted to save myself, and my brother insisted that it was a kindness, which scared me. ”

Haijiao smiled: "It is indeed a kindness...... Not only did you help my brother keep our family, but you also helped the third prince...... I didn't expect to catch him as the initiator. Now that he has become a prisoner of the Great Chu Border Army, he can be regarded as relieving my hatred. ”

Haitang thought about it, then patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "There is no need to say more if you are grateful." Our brother and sister have a good relationship, and it is enough to get along harmoniously. My father and mother have passed away, and my grandfather and grandma are getting older, so maybe only our brother and sister will be left to depend on each other in the future. My brother is good to me, and I try my best to help my brother share it, this is a family! If you say too much politely, it will seem to be raw. ”

Haijiao nodded: "You have a point. I won't say more about these things in the future, but I will keep them in my heart. ”

After saying the words of thanks, Haijiao began to ask his sister for another opinion: "Is our family going back to Yongping's hometown?" Is there no other choice? ”

Haitang didn't understand what he meant: "Doesn't my brother want to go back to his hometown?" Grandpa and Uncle Cousin discussed going back to their hometown, as if it was for you. They feel that the border pass is too dangerous, and they are afraid that you will be like your father, who will enter the army and go to the battlefield, and then ...... They hope that you can live a safer and safer life, and that Yongping's hometown is much more peaceful than the frontier. Uncle Cousin still wants you to go on a scientific expedition! ”

Haijiao laughed dryly: "I can't do it...... I haven't studied seriously for 20 years since I've been in my last life, and I've almost forgotten all my schoolwork. In the past few days, my cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu have been thinking about the coming of the Hu army, and they didn't care about asking me about my homework, so I escaped, otherwise I would have leaked the stuffing! ”

He's worried about it.

Haitang thought for a while: "I roughly remember where you learned your homework a few days ago. Or...... You pretend to be sick for two days for the time being, and take the opportunity to memorize the book by memorization, so that you can talk about it first? In the past few days, you have been in a hurry, and then after entering the city, you have been sad because this house reminds you of something bad, and then the enemy army is attacking the city...... With so much going on, it's understandable that you forgot your homework for a while. As long as it can drag on for three or five days, you will have time to cram. ”

"Even if you get through the trick for the time being, it's not a long-term solution." Haijiao paused, "I plan to tell my cousin and uncle, because I have personally experienced this big battle, I feel that I don't plan to be a scholar anymore, and I am determined to enter the middle school to train." I think my cousin and uncle know that I want to give up my pen and follow Rong, so they won't force me to endorse and make articles, right? ”

"Dream on!" Haitang rolled her eyes, "Do you think you don't need to study to be a general?" At most, you don't have to read the Four Books and the Five Classics, you still have to learn the military books, you have to memorize all kinds of maps and battle examples, and you have to memorize the rules and regulations in the army, so it is not easy to go anywhere. It's better for my brother not to be delusional, read the books that should be read, and learn them again if you forget them. How old are you? Even if you want to join the army, you can't go now, what can you do without studying? ”

Haijiao suddenly wrinkled his face with sorrow: "You said this lightly, I have put down my books for twenty years, and you want me to start reading again, where can I learn?" Besides, my cousin and uncle don't know about my rebirth, what if they find out that I have forgotten all my homework and write differently, and they think that I have hit an evil spirit?! If they have something to do, they can't take care of me for the time being, so that I can enter the army, and I don't have to worry about my homework anymore. ”

Haitang smiled when he heard this: "The elders are also looking forward to you, and want you to learn more things while you are still young, otherwise when you grow up and have something to do, you can't be busy with work, where is there any time to study?" She thought for a moment and asked a little seriously, "Brother, what did you do in your last life?" What did you do after you escaped from the Hu people's horse farm? Will you do the same thing again in this life? ”

"Of course not!" Haijiao categorically vetoed, remembering the experience of his previous life, he couldn't help but fight a cold war, "I can't live like that in my previous life again." That kind of experience...... It's terrible! ”

In his previous life, he escaped from the Hu people's horse farm and fled directly back to Suzhou City, but found that his relatives had died tragically, and he had no relatives, and he couldn't even find an acquaintance who could help him, and he was even beaten. In desperation, he had to do chores for the passing caravans, and worked hard for half a year to save enough money for the journey and followed the caravan to Ganzhou. Then he worked in Ganzhou again, earned money and continued to the next city, and finally reached Chang'an three years later.

He stayed in Chang'an for more than half a year, and inquired about an old county order to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and he was kind enough to take him for a while. Lao Xianling's hometown is in Wanping County, Zhili, but his daughter is married in Datong Mansion, and he plans to visit his daughter's son-in-law and grandson first, and then return to his hometown. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Datong, he found that his daughter and grandson were in a bad situation, and it took a lot of effort to save people......

That's when I met the young lady...... The young lady was in a terrible situation, but she kindly helped him and gave him money and horses. He relied on the money and horses, and soon after he returned to Zhili with the old county order, he heard that the young lady had been killed......

Reef didn't want to reminisce about the rest of the experience, but this benefactor, he really wanted to meet her again. If he could, he hoped to get her out of the fire pit and never die at a young age like he did in his previous life......
