Tao Zi wandered around the Ming Garden all day, and many years passed in a trance.

At first, she was still wandering around, wanting to peek into the secrets here, but all that was praised in this Ming Garden all day long was how Qiu Niangzi and Lu Dalangjun loved, and over time, Tao Zi also lost interest.

After the entire Ming Garden was explored to no avail, and Si Yi didn't know where he was going, Tao Zi focused on the old mulberry tree, maybe it was the key to leaving here.

On this day, gloomy clouds formed in the west, and the winter wind turned into rain, and it was pouring in an instant. Tao Zi, who was originally just a soul, also felt a little nervous all over his body, and this day was too cold.

It's a little funny to say, obviously he is the real person, and these are the ghosts in the Ming Garden, but now they have completely reversed the yin and yang.

In the Wutong Garden, the most central and most beautiful scenery of the Ming Garden, accompanied by the cold rain, there was a faint cry, and Tao Zi hurriedly floated over to visit. I saw that Qiu Niangzi, the original flamboyant eyebrows were lowered, and the original wanton laughter turned into sobbing, she muttered: "Lang Jun, although you are literary and martial, but going to the battlefield is not a child's play after all, we have only been married for six years, and we have never left a child, do you really want to go to the battlefield?"

That Lu Dalangjun turned his back to Tao Zi, Tao Zi couldn't see his face, but felt that his back was broad and a little familiar, he said to Qiu Niangzi gently: "Mingli, now that the war on the border is critical, as a man, even if I am a scholar, I should have the ambition to protect my family and defend the country." ”

He took the crying Qiu Mingli into his arms, caressed her back and said: "What's more, now that the war has been going on for many years, and the scientific expedition has been suspended for two consecutive sessions, if you want to come out, I'm afraid you can only see the truth on the battlefield." ”

Tao Zi looked at the backs of the two embracing each other and silently exited the bedroom.

Half a month later, Lu Lin, accompanied by two small servants, rushed to the battlefield.

Tao Zi floated in the air, watching his back riding on the dust, gradually being submerged in the heavy dust, and couldn't help sighing, such a scholarly atmosphere, I am afraid that he will not come back. Besides, he can't bear to hurt a wounded yellow finch, how can he go to a battlefield where blood is seen every day?

A month later, Qiu Mingli fainted under the old mulberry tree in the atrium and was diagnosed as more than two months pregnant. After sorrow and endless waiting, she finally had some sustenance because of the flesh and blood in her womb, and after eight months, she exhausted her strength and gave birth to a baby girl in three days and three nights.

She gave her daughter a nickname, called Mulberry, and she had to wait for Lu Lin to come back and let him take it personally.

It's just that when Mulberry can crawl, walk and call his mother, Lu Lin won't come back. At first, Qiu Mingli received letters from him for three months and five months, but later, for more than a year, she did not hear from Lu Lin.

Qiu Mingli couldn't help but be anxious and couldn't sleep all day.

One day, when the rain and wind stopped, the old mulberry in the courtyard sprouted, Qiu Mingli kissed her well-behaved and sensible four-year-old daughter, and reluctantly packed her bags for herself.

She was originally a tiger girl, and her mother died at the age of three, but she was loved by her grandfather, father, and four brothers, but after all, she was not restrained by her mother, so she danced with knives and guns all day long, and grew up like a boy.

By the time she was thirteen years old, her father and four brothers had died in battle, and she was hoarse from crying as she hugged her grandfather, who had a white beard. After that, I don't know when, the dull pain in her heart gradually turned into hatred, she hated the years of war, and hated those who left home and never returned. Therefore, when she met Lu Lin, who couldn't bear to hurt even a yellow finch, she had a good impression.

This kind of husband, even if he is cowardly, is also kind, and he will not lose his life easily. She was really afraid of the departure of her relatives......

But now, after nearly five years of her husband's absence, her naïve thoughts are like a joke, how can there be a man in the world who doesn't like to make achievements. Let the tears fall on the sharp tip of the gun, his father and brother have died on the battlefield, is it now his husband's turn?

Her gaze was sad, but then it became resolute that she would never let it happen again.

Entrusting her four-year-old daughter to her mother-in-law and uncle to take care of, she changed into men's clothes, one person, one horse and one gun, and went to the frontier.

Tao Zi originally thought that she would always be trapped in Mingyuan, until she followed Qiu Mingli all the way, and saw her sleeping in the open and wading through mountains and rivers along the way, that she knew that her perspective was actually following Qiu Mingli.

Sangqing Town is located in the hinterland of the east of Ningguo, but the battlefield is in the westernmost part of Ningguo, and the hostile country is called Changguo. Tao Zi followed Qiu Ming Liyue all the way to the west, and the beautiful wealth that he had seen in Sangqing Town in Chengzhou gradually turned into ruin and famine.

By the time they got close to the battlefield, the surrounding villages were already empty. Qiu Mingli straightened her clothes and went to look for the camp mentioned in Lu Lin's most recent letter to her.

asked left and right, and finally three days later, she inquired about the barracks where Lu Lin was. Handing the sign in her hand to the guard soldier, seeing that the soldier immediately became respectful and nervous, the corner of her mouth finally showed a smile.

Preventing the soldiers from going to the main tent to report, she only inquired about the location of Lu Lin's camp and Lu Teamzheng's tent.

The breeze blew her heart agitated, and the sun made her face red. Qiu Mingli wiped the blood from her chapped lips, and on her dark and rough face, her eyes were dazzling and shining. The heart is obviously happy to fly, but for some reason it is still inevitable that there is some melancholy, the so-called hometown cowardice is nothing more than that.

Dressed again, she lifted the curtain of the tent with joy and trepidation.

But then she hurriedly withdrew, and there was a young woman with white skin and beautiful black hair, who was seriously mending the clothes in her hands.

Qiu Mingli is now showing people in men's clothes, which is equivalent to alarming the female dependents of the garrison, it is really rude, she hurriedly stood outside the account to apologize, "I bothered, I went to the wrong camp in a hurry." ”

The young woman put down the work in her hand, opened the curtain from the inside out, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, my husband is fighting the enemy on the front line, and I have nothing to do, so I can't be called a bother." She looked at the not burly and tall man in front of her, and continued: "I don't know whose tent you are going to, the slave family does not know how to wield knives and guns, but they know a little bit about this tent, or they can show the way." ”

A flash of brightness flashed in Qiu Mingli's eyes, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, lady, I will go to the camp of the Lu team." I inquired all the way to this point just now, but I didn't expect it to go wrong. ”

The woman was wearing a goose yellow robe, and the red hairpin on her head was even more dazzling in the sun, which looked very abrupt in this simple and even somewhat difficult military camp. Tao Zi was not afraid of the scorching sun, and floated in the air to look at the young woman carefully, but the young woman looked at Qiu Mingli with some doubts.

She walked out of the tent and saluted Qiu Mingli before saying, "But Lu Lin Lu Zheng's camp is Lu Teamzheng's camp, I don't know what you have to do with him?"

At this moment, a burly man, from a distance, watched from a distance that the finch at the entrance of the tent was talking to a man, the man turned his back to him, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he couldn't help but shout from a distance: "Finch son, who are you talking to?"

It was obviously a dog day, and the sun was roasting badly, but Qiu Mingli felt like she was frozen in the cold winter wax moon.

Her originally hot heart fell into the ice ballast.

Some astringent, some painful.
