Forty
Xiao Yi really didn't know how to call him, and it was because of the relationship with Yao'er that he called him like this!
"Forget it, don't call it that!"
Xiao Yi asked him,
"So, what should I call it?"
The general replied,
"Whatever, don't call it that anyway!"
When he said this, Xiao Yi was even more embarrassed! Just as he was embarrassed, Lord Ning opened his mouth to relieve the atmosphere,
"General Tuoba, I don't know what your arrangements will be next?"
Lord Ning spoke very calmly, without a trace of fear at all, which also made the general quite appreciative! Xiao Yi had only heard outsiders call him a general, and Yao'er had only once in front of him about this surname! Xiao Yi knew that this surname was not common, and he was not from the Central Plains!
The general Hui Ning, said,
"Call me Tuoba Hong, what a great general, he has long been wiped out!"
Xiao Yi thought of Yao'er's name again, Tuoba Xiyao, this name is very good, but he is also used to calling stinky girls, so he rarely uses it!
Lord Ning replied,
"That's not very good, why don't you call you Mr. Tuoba?"
The general replied,
"Yes, oh yes, what did you just ask?!"
Lord Ning repeated what he had just said, and replied to him,
"I don't know what Mr. Tuoba's arrangements will be next?!"
The general sighed lightly and said,
"Light the fire, let's take our time!"
Liang Duo kept holding the candle in his hand, listened to his speech, and immediately took action, and soon, he lit the fire again! The general still couldn't adapt for a while, and blocked his hand in front of him, and when Liang Duo saw it, he took the candle flame farther away, and he stood in the middle, blocking some light a little!
Xiao Yi only saw clearly at this time, he was Yao'er's father, what a glorious general he used to be, but at this time, it seemed that he was even worse than the beggar who asked for food! The long robe on his body had long been tattered, and the smell was extremely strong, and he had just been in this house for a short time, and the whole house had already spread this disgusting smell! Think about it, there is no light of day here, and he has been staying for several months in a row, how can it be good! Look at his fluffy hair, it has also become a strip, one by one, and can be used as a small stick! His hands and feet are exposed, and they are also black, and when he goes to take a bath at this time, he doesn't know how much he will rub down! Xiao Yi can't see his face clearly, because this face has long been taken off, on the black face, the cheekbones are high, and the eyes are also deeply sunken, when he breathes, a trace of long hair on the door rises and falls gently, if not, he really can't see that he is a living person! Xiao Yi saw him like this, his heart was also quite uncomfortable, he stood up, and wanted to take the clothes behind him to him, but the general raised his head and preached to him,
"No, no!"
He looked at the one with the broken leg in a daze, and then blinked for a long time and said,
"Xiao Wu, is that you?!"
Hey, does the general recognize him?
When the other party heard his name, his face was also full of joy, and he replied,
"General, it's me, it's me! I didn't expect you, you still remember me!"
The man was so moved that tears flowed from him again! The general grinned, as if smiling, and then replied to him.
"Remember, of course remember, you have been serving me every day for two years, how can I remember it! Heh, you are a little fatter than before, and I took a few more glances before I recognized it!"
That Xiao Wu smiled and wiped away her tears, and said,
"With the general's words, it's worth it if I die!"
The general replied to him,
"I still remember the great battle, there were countless casualties on both sides, and your leg was wounded, and it was difficult to recover, so I asked someone to send you back to Tokyo City. Now that you look like this, it seems that life is still good!"
That Xiao Wu replied,
"I always remember the general's great kindness, and also, you also told us that as long as you can endure hardships, life will always get better and better! Over the years, I have always done this! Oh, by the way, General, Xiao Xu also came with me this time, but, but he didn't have my good luck, already, he has already given his life here!"
The general's eyes were lonely, and he replied,
"I listened to them, more than a hundred brothers, who gave their lives for me, it's really not worth it, it's not worth it!"
Xiao Yi remembered the cruel words he said inside, perhaps, it was also because he knew that so many people had given their lives for him, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, so he suddenly became angry! Hey, he has experienced too many wars, old comrades-in-arms died, and new people came up, he should have been used to seeing it for a long time, but today, it was his own people who killed his own people, of course, it will make him extremely sad!
Xiao Yi whispered to him,
"They're outside this house now, and we're all trying to put them together as much as we can......!" Look, Mr. Tuoba, do you want to go and see it?!"
The general glanced at Xiao Yi for a moment, and then closed his eyes again,
"Don't watch it, don't watch it, I'm afraid that after watching it, I won't be able to bear it anymore!"
Xiao Yi was about to say more, but the general suddenly opened his eyes again, this time his eyes were quite sharp, staring at Xiao Yi's face! Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed by him, so he turned his head and face away, but suddenly heard the general shouting,
"Don't move, don't move!"
Xiao Yi turned his face back, hey, he wants to see it, then let him see it! Anyway, they have become a family, it is good to see clearly, it is good to see clearly! The general looked at it for a long time, and then he sighed, and spoke with a rough air, only listening to him,
"Xiao Yi, you, do you know where you are from?!"
Xiao Yi didn't think about it, and replied to him,
"I don't know, but, listening to Grandpa, the ancestral home should also be a Song person!"
The general half-squinted, looked at it for a while, and said,
"Come over a little more, let me see clearly!"
Liang Duo thought that the general should have almost adapted to it, so he also let it go! This light is even brighter, and the general looks at it more clearly!
Xiao Yi came to him and stood firmly, and the general also got up and put his face almost on Xiao B's face! The two were almost the same height, but Xiao Yi looked a little thicker, and it should be because the general had been imprisoned for a long time! The general looked at it carefully, and he touched the long stick behind Xiao Yi's back with his hand, and after a long time, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed so hard that the whole room trembled! He laughed for a long time, and finally sat down on the bed! The rest of the people looked at each other, I really don't know why he is like this! Xiao Yi is also confused, and can only laugh with embarrassment!
The general patted himself on the side and said,
"Come, sit down next to me!"
Although Xiao Yi had doubts, he still obediently came over and sat down! The general suddenly reached over and grabbed Xiao Yi's wrist, he used a lot of strength, Xiao Yi's hand seemed to be about to be broken by him! His strength is really good, even if he has been locked up for a few months, it is much stronger than ordinary people! Xiao Yi is very strange, why is he so excited, is it related to Yao'er, he is quite satisfied with himself, so he recognizes himself?! Everyone is very strange, Liang Duo also found a place to sit down, and looked at the two of them carefully!
The general's body trembled, and after a long time, he laughed out loud again, and said,
"Okay, okay, Yao'er followed you, it's really providence, providence! Haha, haha!"
Xiao Yi was very puzzled, and said,
"Mr. Tuoba, what does this mean?!"
The general smiled slightly, and replied,
"I said, you and Yao'er, that's God's arrangement! God gave me your good son-in-law, it's really good to me, it's so good!"
Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't know how to say it again!
The general laughed for a while, and then asked,
"Has anyone ever told you that you look like a person?!"
Xiao Yi couldn't help blinking and asked back,
"What does that mean?!"
Xiao Yi suddenly thought again, ah, could it be that he recognized himself? He, but he recognized his parents or relatives? Since he can remember, he has only known that his name is An Xiaoyi, and as for who his parents are, Grandpa has never told him! He suddenly remembered what the nameless master had said to him, and he couldn't help but ask loudly,
"Mr. Tuoba, you, do you know my parents? There was once an immortal, and he also told me this, and he said that he knew who I was, but he did not explain it clearly! I was puzzled, and I was skeptical of his words! But today, listening to you like this, I, I think he is right, this, what the hell is going on, you can explain it to me?!"
The general asked,
"What kind of immortal is it?!"
Xiao Yi roughly introduced the nameless master to him, as well as what the other party had said to him, the general nodded unbelievably while listening, and when he heard the end, he couldn't stop laughing, and finally spoke, saying,
"I know him, I know him! You say that he is an immortal, that is not an exaggeration! You still don't believe his words, this is your fault!"
Xiao Yi found that Lord Ning was also nodding his head, hey, could it be that he had also heard of that immortal? Xiao Yi asked again,
"So, Mr. Tuoba, do you know my parents too?!"
Xiao Yi's heart was pounding, his life experience, not too many people know, the immortal has passed away, the general is in front of him, of course he has to ask clearly! However, the general seems to be reluctant to mention this matter more, and replied,
"Didn't the immortals say it, you don't have to pay attention to this matter anymore, it's good for you, Yao'er, and everyone! The immortals don't want to say it, how can I talk about it, you also have to understand that we are all for your good! The only thing I can tell you is ...... Well, if you are really their son, then you and my Yao'er are exactly that couple! As for who they are, I will never tell you, I think they will think the same way as me even if they are still alive! Therefore, you don't have to ask again!"
The general turned his head, looked at Xiao Yi carefully again, and then put his hands on Xiao Yi's hands and stroked them gently! Xiao Yi could feel that he had such deep feelings for himself, it seemed that the relationship between his parents and him would definitely not be simple! Since he didn't want to tell it, he would check it himself!
The general was very happy, and said,
"You have to protect Yao'er well in the future, it's best, stay away from the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, be the right idle clouds and wild cranes, and enjoy all the good things in this world!
Xiao Yi didn't know why he said this, and the ghost sent God back,
"Mr. Tuoba, what about you, aren't you with us?!"
The general replied to him,
"I, I, if I leave the battlefield, I'm nothing! I want to live like that, but maybe God won't agree to it!
Xiao Yi asked again,
"Haven't we escaped now, with your ability, it's not easy to hide?"
The general smiled and replied,
"Where can I go?"
The general slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and then said,
"My body, the stench is unbearable! My good son-in-law, help me boil some hot water, let me wash it well!"
Xiao Yi wanted to say something more, but Lord Ning opened his mouth,
"Xiao Yi, let's go together, let Mr. Tuoba stay quiet!"
Xiao Yi glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said,
"Mr. Tuoba, you rest first, let's go find a way!"
The general came back with a smile,
"Okay, okay, you three go, I'll talk to Xiao Wu for a while!"
Xiao Yi said in his heart, and he didn't know if he heard the conversation between a few people before, but he had experienced a hundred battles and knew that many people had given his lives for him, and of course he had already guessed many things! At this time, he took Xiao Yi and the three of them away and talked to Xiao Wu alone, he should also want to understand the specific situation, so as to make the next arrangement! Lord Ning gave him a look, Xiao Yi also understood, the three retreated to the door, Xiao Yi gently pulled the door shut, and as for what the two of them were going to say again, the three of them didn't know anymore!
When they got out of this house, they were so cold that they couldn't even open their mouths when they were blown by the cold wind! How could it be so cold, and on such a day, was it really as the rumor said, that there was a vision in the sky, and that something great would happen in the world! The three of them went to the next room, because when they searched just now, they had already found a big wooden barrel there! The wooden barrel was just right to fill hot water for the general to bathe! The wooden barrel was knocked over, but it was still strong, so it was only broken a little, and Xiao Yi simply repaired it, which did not affect its use at all! Further inside, there was a large earthen stove, and there was firewood next to the stove, and it was very convenient to make a fire! It was the easiest way to get water, but at this time it was the most difficult, just because in the small ditch, the water had already frozen into ice! In the middle of the night, where to find it, so the three of them could only take local materials, break the ice cubes, and take them to the pot to boil, so that it was much slower.
The general is not in a hurry, and Xiao Yi has nothing to worry about! Xiao Yi lit a fire alone to make the room warmer! The house was warm, and the ice cubes in the vat were also slowly melting.
"It's almost dawn, let's not know if it's too late this time!"
Lord Ning half-closed his eyes and replied,
If we can't even hold on to this night, it's really not worth saving!"
Liang Duo also said,
"Yes, yes! The general is not in a hurry, so there is no need to worry! He is a man who has been in a hundred battles, and he will know how to take a proper measure!"
Xiao Yi sighed lightly and said,
"In such a situation, we are actually burning a fire, hey, I really don't know how to say it!"
Xiao Yi fiddled with the firewood, the fire was shining, and the shadows in the house were shaking!
Ningda humane,
"This is the tranquility before the Great War, and I'm more interested in how tomorrow will develop!"
LIANG Duodao,
"Yes, yes, I'm not sleepy at all, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, but the victorious one will definitely be on our side!"
Lord Ning suddenly said,
"Xiao Yi, I heard you talk about it just now, your life experience is not ordinary!"
Xiao Yi nodded slightly and replied to him,
"I feel the same way, but they haven't said it explicitly, so how can I guess it!"
Lord Ning replied,
"That said, but I still have a suggestion, I hope you will hear it!"
Xiao Yi asked him,
"Well, Lao Ning, just say it!"
Ningda humane,
"Although they recognize you, they all don't want you to know! I can see that General Tuoba is very fond of you, and he is naturally doing this for your own good! So, if you can, can you listen to me, never, never pick up this scar again!"
Lord Ning would say such a thing, which surprised Xiao Yi! Yes, as he said, why didn't they say it, maybe his life experience was still involved in many people, and if he continued to investigate it, it might really affect him in turn! Of course Xiao Yi understood, but the more he heard people talk about it, the more he wanted to understand it! Knowing that it might bring disaster, he still wanted to move on!
Xiao Yi replied to him,
"Since I met the immortals, I have thought about it many times! Why didn't Grandpa explain his life experience to me, perhaps it was because there were too many involved! Over time, in fact, I have long forgotten who my parents really are, and to me, it may just be a name! But now, it seems that the answer is right in front of me, how can you let me not think about it this way! Hey, I can't promise you, but I'm going to try to control myself, try to, try not to force it, everything will go naturally, maybe sometime, this mystery will appear in front of me by itself!"
Lord Ning nodded and smiled, and said again,
"Okay, okay, this is the best, this is the best! I want to say that I will be on your side no matter what!"
Xiao Yi was so moved, he joked with a smile, and said,
"Oh, didn't you chase me all the time before, why, now you're going to protect me again?!"
Lord Ning smiled,
"People will always change!"
He was able to say this, Xiao Yi was also very happy, someone said, this friend is not how many, there are one or two sincere, that is enough! Yi Ning's temperament, there should be few people in this world who are willing to be friends with him, Xiao Yi is an exception, maybe his only friend!
Xiao Yi smiled at Lord Ning, and made the fire more vigorous! Liang Duo couldn't stop pouring water and filling it with ice, and unconsciously, those ice cubes also turned into water, the iron pot on the stove, and the water in the wooden barrel, and the white smoke slowly rose!
After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door, Xiao Yi knew that it was the general who came, so he quickly walked over to open the door, of course, he didn't need to open the door to recognize him, just because the smell on his body had already come in from the crack in the door! Xiao Yi opened the door, the general was barefoot, standing straight at the door, Xiao Yi let him in, and said,
"Mr. Tuoba, this water is almost ready, you can wash it!"
Although the water is not very hot, it is enough for people who practice martial arts, and besides, there is still boiling water next to it, and it is also very convenient to add hot water!
The general nodded at each of the three before he said,
"Xiao Yi is here to help me!"
Lord Ning and Liang Duo got up and wanted to go out, but they were stopped by the general!
"Xiao Liang, you wait here first, Xiao Ning, can you find a white cloth with me!"
Lord Ning immediately nodded and replied,
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
Lord Ning moved very quickly, and he quickly took the white cloth back, as if it had been prepared a long time ago! A white cloth, two feet long and wide, was neatly cut, and although there was some dust, it was still snow-white and snow-white! When the general saw it, he was very satisfied, and replied,
"Thank you!"
Then he turned to Xiao Yi and borrowed a knife.
The general laid the white cloth flat on the ground, and then said,
"Twenty miles northeast of the city of Tokyo, a large group of men and horses have gathered, brought me this thing, and handed it into their hands.
Xiao Yi seemed to have guessed what he was going to do, and of course, he didn't stop him, yes, this is exactly what he should do as a general! Sure enough, as Xiao Yi expected, the general picked up the knife, gently placed it in the palm of his left hand, and after clenching it, his right hand pulled down, bringing out a lot of blood! He slowly clenched his fist, and the blood naturally dripped down, and it just fell on the white cloth! Xiao Yi has also heard the deeds of countless people writing blood books. However, now that he has seen his father-in-law do this, he doesn't feel this way at all, Xiao Yi feels that this is too child's play!
The general did not dip his hand in blood to write, but just moved his fist in the air, and let the blood drip down, naturally forming words, and this blood water is not very viscous, in fact, it is very difficult to write! Of course, in comparison, this must be a waste of a lot of blood, but for a person who practices martial arts, for a general, this little blood is nothing at all!
Xiao Yi and the three of them came over to take a look, on the white cloth, the crooked blood strips were slowly combined into four big characters, Liang Duo saw it, and couldn't help but read it,
"Loyalty, righteousness, Tuoba!"
