In front of Zhang's house,

"Whew, whew, whew......"

Tighten the reins,

The horse's hooves are raised,

Gradually stopped,

Liu Er, who was clearly dressed and armored, turned over and dismounted and looked at the threshold of this Zhang family, which was not high, and sighed with some emotion, after all, it was the girl he thought of, and now it was finally time to propose marriage, although he was not an official now, but according to the meaning of his own Uncle Ma, after this recruitment, a captain could not run, and the 1,800 people under his hand were also considered magnificent, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were fresh clothes and angry horses, and they returned to their hometowns in fine clothes.

At first, Liu Er felt that it was a little inappropriate to pass through the market in such a swagger, until he heard Ma Youliang chatter, "Wealth does not return to his hometown, such as embroidering clothes at night, who knows?"

"Brother Er, please mother-in-law!"

"Brother Erleng, please your mother-in-law!"

The little dolls with bare butts and eggs in the village gathered in front of Zhang's house at some point, and there was no timidity towards the red-clothed and black-armored Liangzhou soldiers around them.

"The one in front is Second Brother Liu?"

"Is this a butcher to settle old scores?"

Zhuang Jiahan, who was carrying a wooden basket and a sickle, was about to go to the field to cut wheat, looked at the Zhang family, who was blocked by the Liangzhou Iron Horse, and said.

"What kind of old accounts?"

"His grandmother's, don't leave this nonsense. ”

The old farmer was coming out of his house when he heard the muttering of two young men, and a cold cigarette stick hit the door of the man who spoke.

"Marrying a girl is such a thing, pay attention to your love and my wishes. ”

"Besides, that butcher is not a snob, don't you see that his daughter sends food to Liu Er's mother every other day on weekdays, don't you really know when the butcher Zhang is a butcher?"

"Just turn a blind eye ......"

After the old farmer finished speaking, he ignored the embarrassed expressions of the two young students, and walked to Zhang's house with a cigarette stick on his back, intending to join in the fun.

"Uncle Yang, why don't you go to the ground to cut wheat today?"

The young descendant who was beaten covered his slightly red and swollen forehead, and he was an elder in the village, so he was not angry, but said with a hippie smile.

"What kind of wheat?"

"Didn't see this guy?"

Lao Yang Tou carried a cigarette stick, pointing to the few elbows stacked on the outer cart and a lot of gray sugar, according to the customs of the village, ordinary people's families, can carry two elbows on their backs is already considered arrogant, and in exchange for an earlier half of a bag of grain noodles can be exchanged for a mother-in-law back, and now this Liu Er is stunned to put the things in the village is definitely the first one.

"This is to come to the door to propose, I estimate that this trip back will not be long, I am afraid that this marriage will have to fall early, maybe you will have to drink a happy wine later, put it on the ground first, and talk about it after drinking the happy wine." ”

"Boss, second, third, don't go to the ground today, follow me to have a look, see if there is anything to help. ”

After Lao Yang Tou finished speaking, he shouted behind him, his eyes were withdrawn from the imposing Liangzhou soldiers in red clothes and black armor, and a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed in his eyes when he looked at the three sons behind him.

"Then let it be done to them......"

He bowed his head and sighed lightly.

"Since it's a proposal, let's not go to the ground today. ”

"Let's have a good time?"

"Not really. ”

"If you say anything, you have to give Second Brother Liu a personal match. ”

The two young descendants didn't continue to go down to the ground without thinking about it, and walked to Zhang's house together.

......

"But then again,"

"Second Brother Liu is really magnificent now. ”

"Even if the county master goes to propose relatives, there is no such pomp and circumstance!"

Some people in the crowd looked at the neat Liangzhou soldiers on the periphery and smacked their tongues secretly, and when their eyes fell on Liu Er, who was clearly dressed and armored, there was even more envy in their eyes.

"In the early years, Cheng always felt that he was desperate to become a soldier. ”

"It's a good way to go now. ”

......

ZHANG Jia,

If you look closely, there is a faint candlelight lit,

A girl is facing a small piece of bronze mirror and is carefully dressed,

"Do you really want to marry this Liu Er?"

A slightly hoarse voice sounded in the ears of Miss Koyanagi,

"Dad, didn't you already know it a long time ago?"

Miss Zhang Liu turned around and saw a rough man in a coarse cloth shirt standing at the door, his face was rough, his body was even stronger, and his exposed arms were also full of tendon muscles, a typical butcher's appearance, it was rare to give birth to a daughter so handsome.

"It's also ......"

"In the past, you always felt that Second Brother Liu's house was a little dilapidated. ”

"But now that I think about it, I can be considered worthy of your daughter. ”

Through the gap in the window, Miss Xiaoyanagi looked at her sweetheart who was clearly leading the tall horse, and muttered softly, perhaps because she had been looking forward to it for too long, her eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of resentment in her father's words.

"Poor?"

"To put it bluntly, your dad and I are a pig killer. ”

"Where is the right to look down on others?"

"You are both from the same village, in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller, you can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, the two have no guesses, Liu Er, this stupid boy is also grown up by his father, his honest temperament, Dad also likes it very much. ”

"But he didn't say a word and ran to enlist in the army......"

Butcher Zhang's smile was a little bitter when he said this.

"How could I not know my own girl's thoughts?"

"It's that his Liu family doesn't come to the door to propose, and after waiting for two years, his father will pull down his face and send a matchmaker, go to his house and say that the matchmaker goes, as for whether he is poor or not, I have never valued my father, I am just a girl like you, is it true that I expect you to "sell money"?"

"You wait for these two years,"

"Dad didn't know that he refused to come to the door to propose marriage. ”

Butcher Zhang muttered,

In front of the bronze mirror,

The girl pursed her lips and put on red makeup, her white face, her pretty five officials, and her red lips looked bright and moving, and she was stunned for a long time when she listened to the slightly hoarse voice behind her.

"Now that you are willing to marry, my father has no objection. ”

"But I always feel that this is not a taste in my heart, you must know that as the singer on the stage said, how many people from the ancient war have returned, if this is the case, hey......"

"Daddy......"

"You must know that our current stable life is also exchanged for the cold knife in their hands by Second Brother Yang, and my daughter also understands your worries, but in the end, someone has to enlist in the army......"

"If there really is such a day, my daughter will also admit ......"

Miss Zhang Liu forcibly squeezed out a bright smile and said.

"That's it, that's it......"

Butcher Zhang sighed and walked out of the room silently.

I only heard the sound of turning over boxes and cabinets,

When I came back again, I had an extra wedding dress in my hand,

The wedding dress is bright red, maybe it has been a long time to prepare, the color is a little dull but it is harmless, Zhang Butcher lightly put the wedding dress on the side of the bed and walked out.

"Squeak squeak......"

The door opens,

After Butcher Zhang opened the door,

neither speaks,

Just sitting in the middle with a wine jug and a big horse golden knife.

"Zhang, Uncle Zhang......"

"I'm here to mention ......"

Look like this,

Liu Erleng took a long time before he spoke.

"Stop the ink, go inside. ”

"This family business, my old Zhang admits it!"

Butcher Zhang turned sideways and poured a sip of wine silently, and didn't look at the dowry outside the door, such a refreshing appearance caught everyone off guard, that is, Ma Youliang on the side also opened his mouth, and the words prepared earlier are now useless.

"If you are in a hurry, those cumbersome processes can also be saved, my old Zhang is not a pedantic person, and my Zhang family is not a high-ranking family. ”

Butcher Zhang exhaled a mouthful of wine and muttered in a low voice.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

"Humph!"

Butcher Zhang snorted coldly.

"Thank you...... Thank you, father-in-law!"

Liu Er hurriedly changed his words, is this not afraid of his butcher's momentum of killing countless lives, if it was really possible in the past, but now he is also a veteran who has been killed, and there are more surprises and apologies in the current panic.

That's right

Regret......

"Wait!"

"Liu Er was stunned!"

As soon as he passed by, Butcher Zhang spoke,

Liu Er paused when he heard the sound, and for some reason he looked at the drunken butcher Zhang and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"You kid just remember one thing, and after the battle, Lao Tzu will come back alive. ”

"Don't let my daughter be widowed!"

Butcher Zhang's hoarse voice sounded behind Liu Er,

"Son-in-law, remember!"

Liu Erlang said.

"But there is such a thing as war......"

"The kid really can't guarantee that he will come back alive, Miss Xiaoliu is the only daughter of Uncle Zhang's family, and she has forgotten this stubble these days, I'm sorry Uncle Zhang......"

But after hesitating for a moment, he still said bitterly,

The hand that had just stretched out to push the door stopped in mid-air again.

silent

Deathly silence,

I can even hear Butcher Zhang's heavier and heavier breathing,

and the suppressed sobs of the people inside the door.

The atmosphere in the field became a little weird with Liu Er's words,

The descendants outside the door are full of ghostly expressions, even the elders in the village are also secretly sighing, they say that they are stunned on weekdays, but they didn't expect it to be difficult, how to be stupid at the most critical time, obviously just a smooth word, but more serious.

Only the soldiers in red clothes and black armor in the courtyard bowed their heads and said nothing, and a trace of obscurity flashed in their eyes.

"If you die,"

"Let people bring the ashes back......"

Butcher Zhang raised his head and poured the last sip of wine from the altar, and said abruptly.

......

There is no southland crying dialect slang,

I didn't wear a phoenix crown, or a xia veil,

Wearing only a faded wedding dress,

Miss Zhang Liu put on her hijab and was helped out of the room, and she couldn't see the appearance under the hijab clearly, only heard a very slight sound, and tears fell to the ground.

"Son-in-law, thank you father-in-law!"

Liu Er looked at the rough man who was drunk and leaning against the door panel and saluted solemnly.

"The girl is married......"

Butcher Zhang looked at the girl who was far away, and for some reason laughed and cried, a cloudy tear dripped down his rough face from the faint spot, and he looked up at the sky and whispered something.

......

The red firecrackers broke the tranquility of the village,

Outside the door, the groom in red clothes and black armor riding a tall horse slowly left with a team of relatives, and watched from a distance to beat gongs and drums.

"Bang ......"

omitted the process, Butcher Zhang naturally didn't have time to set up the wine, the courtyard seemed extremely deserted, and he didn't pay attention to the dolls in the village who came to see the excitement, let alone persuade the men who went over to drink together, just closed the courtyard door with a bang.

"A dowry is a dowry,"

"A dowry is a dowry,"

"The girl is married,"

"Being a father doesn't have much ability, and he definitely can't make up ten miles of red makeup like in the play, even if he can't make up the dowry for twelve years in a small family, he can't wronged you. ”

"Ho Ho ......"

There was a sound of sharpening knives,

Butcher Zhang held the knife and looked at the pigs that had just been collected in the pen and were ready to be slaughtered and sold in the market tomorrow, and the sheep muttered to himself.

......

At the door of Liu's house,

"Here comes the bride!"

"Here comes the bride!"

The little dolls with bare butts in the village are shouting around,

When the woman gets off the sedan chair,

"Mother, the child has married Miss Xiaoliu back!"

Liu Er turned over and dismounted, not as particular as the big family, and after landing on the ground, he picked up the girl with a red hijab on the horseback and walked home on the firecracker debris all over the ground.

The people in the village all stopped their work and came to join in the excitement, and hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers also took off their armor and sat down, not seeing the slightest life.

Dozens of tables of improvised patchwork mats filled half of the village,

There is no delicacies,

But the wine and meat are enough,

This banquet lasted for a long time,

The whole village is filled with the smell of wine,

The descendants of the village also took this opportunity to drink,

One by one drunk,

"Second Brother Liu, how long will this trip take?"

Someone suddenly remembered something and asked casually,

"After recruiting the troops, I left, and I'm afraid the court will have to fight in the future. ”

Liu Er was stunned and said with a wry smile.

"I want to do it for up to half a month......

"This ......"

The elders of the village wanted to speak and stopped,

"How can I be so stable on the surface at the moment, in the end, whether it is the barbarians going south, or the Qi people going north, or the Wei people making trouble, or what other chaos happened in the future, someone has to pin their heads to the waistband and rush forward, right?"

Liu Er muttered with the strength of the wine.

"If we all want to close the door, live our own small life with one acre and three points of land, I'm afraid it won't be long before any Qi people, Wei people, and Chu people will have to set foot on the land we rely on for a living......

"But if you fight, you will die!"

"Thousands of dead!"

"The corpses, piled higher than the hills,"

"That blood, dyed redder than the wedding dress,"

"In the end, I, Liu Er, am stunned, but I'm also afraid of death!"

"There's no shame in that!"

"But ......"

"There are things you don't want to do, I don't want to do ......"

"But somebody's got to go, right?"

Liu Er poured down a sip of Maochai wine and said in a low voice.

......

Running water on the edge of the mat

I don't know when a man pushing a cart came over,

There was an eerie silence in the field,

Liu Er swayed and turned to look,

It turned out to be the butcher, and if you looked closely, there were a few pork fans piled up on the cart, all of which were freshly killed, and blood was dripping from the butcher's knife on his waist.

"After the cave room, you Liu Er, go with peace of mind......"

"As you said before, somebody has to ......"

"There's nothing wrong with being a soldier!"

"But there are more species before leaving!"

Butcher Zhang looked at the candlelit cave through the heavy figures and whispered.

......

"Don't worry about the rest,"

"As long as I, Butcher Zhang, is still ......"

Speaking of which,

There was an abrupt pause,

"I can't be wronged by my daughter, and I can't suffer from my grandchildren. ”

"It's also indispensable to have the oily ...... in the mother's pot"

After grinning, Butcher Zhang put down the cart and turned to leave.

Looking at the burly figure in the distance,

There is an indescribable freedom and loneliness.
