Chapter 52: Homesickness
"I'm more timid about homesickness, and I don't dare to ask anyone. ”
The first time the little girl Ye set foot on the land of the Tang Empire, she used to hear it again and again in the stories told by the old man!
"Old man, why are you unhappy? Don't you always want to come back?"
"No, just thinking about something, you go slower!"
"Cut! Slow can't be slower! Look at this old horse, look at this old car, I really don't know if it can hold on? Do you know? I'm afraid that this old horse will suddenly fall on the road! I'm afraid that this old car will suddenly fall apart!"
"That little village ahead, let's stop and rest for a while!"
"Well, okay, it's good to take a break! Since you came out of the Blackwater Country, you haven't had as much time to walk as you have rested this day, can we still meet the person who holds the sword of the god of war?"
"Don't worry, let's go slowly, it's time!"
"Alright, old man, are you not in good health? Are you getting worse and worse these days?"
"It's okay, don't worry, I can hold on! I must see that knife before I die!"
......
The carriage stopped at the head of the village, and the little girl Ye Zi supported the old man, got out of the car and sat on a stone.
"Old man, I'll go find something to eat, and by the way, fill some water, don't run around!"
"Well, got it, you go and get back quickly. ”
The little girl walked towards the village.
The old man looked at this small village on the border of the Tang Empire, and there was smoke rising from the village, which seemed quiet and peaceful!
"Alas! Peace is always rare! I don't know when there will be another war, and when the time comes, I don't know how many people will be displaced? In the past few years, this great general has also made some merits, but I am afraid that the merits will not be worth it?"
The old man muttered to himself. At this time, several children came out of the village and ran over in a hurry.
The little boy who ran ahead was the first to spot the carriage and the old man.
"Sir, are you a foreigner?"
"Well, yes!"
"Oh, do you need help? Our home is in the village. ”
"Thank you! someone helped me find something to eat! Why didn't you go to school?"
"Our husband has something to do today, so he has a half-day off. Sir, where are you going?"
Several children gathered around and looked at this very old man.
The old man thought for a moment.
"I'm going home!"
"Oh, is there anyone waiting for you at home?"
The old man was a little sad.
I just want to see where I used to live, and I want to come back after being away from home for a long time!"
"Oh, that's right, sir, is your home far away?"
"Well, it's not close, my home is in Chang'an City, I grew up there, but since I grew up, I haven't been back!"
The old man's eyes seemed to see the bustle and noise of Chang'an City!
"Wow! It turns out that old man, you are from the capital! I heard that the capital is much bigger than Youzhou, and there are many more people! There are all kinds of delicious food and fun in the city!"
The eyes of several children shone brightly.
"Well! Chang'an City is indeed the largest metropolis in the world! You study hard, and you will have the opportunity to become an official in Chang'an City in the future!"
"We don't want to be officials!"
Except for the little girl, the rest of the little boys all showed disdain!
"We are all men of the Tang Empire, good men are ambitious in all directions, we study just to be reasonable, in the future we will all go to the battlefield and fight bravely to kill the enemy!
A few of the children seemed to be in high spirits! Although there were some words that they still didn't understand, these words were often heard from the older brothers!
The old man didn't speak again, this is the difference between the frontier land and the young people in the capital! Although the Tang Empire now seems to be prosperous, rich and powerful, and in full swing! But division already exists in people's hearts!
Is it really inevitable?
......
In the slow footsteps of the old horse, the carriage also swayed, and the old man seemed to be asleep in the carriage.
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. ”
......
It seems to be the first time I left Chang'an City, left home, and traveled the world.
......
In order to deliberately avoid Youzhou City, Miss Ye Zi drove the carriage in the direction of Yunzhou.
The little girl Ye Zi was a little anxious in her heart, but there was no way to urge the old man.
"What if I don't see the man holding the sword of the god of war?"
Little Miss Ye was a little worried, if she walked so slowly, she was likely to miss that person, but she really couldn't get up fast!
It's just that she forgot to ask the old man, where is that person?
Or does the old man not know now?
......
The little girl Ye Zi was full of worries, feeling that it was good to go down the mountain this time, but it was too slow, and she really wanted to go to see the person who was in charge of the sword of the god of war quickly, and then, go to the best and most prosperous Chang'an City in the legend, and be sure to go there to see the world, and after going back in the future, you can also brag about it!
The carriage came to an abrupt halt because there were two people kneeling on the road ahead.
One was in his sixties and emaciated. The other one is in the prime of life, tall and majestic!
The old man woke up and looked at the two people kneeling on the road outside the car.
"I didn't want to see you in the first place, so I took a detour, and you weren't obedient at all!"
Yan Danqing, who was emaciated, already had tears in his eyes.
"Since the disciple left the teacher thirty years ago, there is not a day that he doesn't want to miss! Fifteen years ago, he didn't have the opportunity to see him, and even if the teacher punishes him today, the disciple will come to see the teacher!"
The old man got out of the carriage and looked at his two disciples, who had not seen him for many years and were already old.
Yuwen Feiyang stood up and supported the master.
"Master, fifteen years ago, the disciple only saw the master's back from a distance, and he has always regretted it, and the disciple must come today!"
"Alas! Several of you like to make assertions, Danqing, you are more steady, you have chosen Xiao Chaotian all these years, and the master can't say anything! Feiyang, you took it upon yourself fifteen years ago, and dispatched 10,000 town border troops, that incident has a far-reaching impact, I'm afraid that you are self-defeating! As for the light revenge, let him go on his own!"
Although Yan Danqing and Yuwen Feiyang have never understood what Yuan Qingqiu has done, they can also feel his nervousness over the years, but the master has not spoken, and they have not made any moves.
Especially now, this is the only time that the three of them have had the opportunity to meet the master after leaving the master, Yuan Qingqiu actually disappeared a few days ago!
Yan Danqing felt bitter in his heart, a person who should come, did not dare to come! A person who should not come, was bent on coming!
Yuan Qingqiu must have done something sorry for the master, so he didn't dare to see the master! The general Xiao Chaotian had admired the master of the three brothers for a long time, and I heard that this time the two of them were going to see the master, so they had to come together!
"Danqing, you didn't let Xiao Chaotian follow, it's good!"
The old man can't say that he is in any mood, he has done a lot of sins before, does it matter if there is such a thing as Xiao Chaotian or not?
