Li Chengfeng looked at the dark-skinned man behind him in shock, and secretly wondered, could this be Hei Dan's brother
The old woman was stunned when she saw the man carrying the burden, and then looked at Li Chengfeng who looked embarrassed. Before she could say anything, she immediately hugged the man carrying the burden in front of her and cried loudly: "My baby Son, just be okay."
The man also had an embarrassed look on his face. He patted the old woman in his arms and said, "Mom, aren't I doing a good job?" After that, he glared at Li Chengfeng angrily.
The old woman came to her senses this time, and she turned to look at Li Chengfeng angrily: "You who have killed a thousand swords, why did you curse my son?"
Li Chengfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe I got the wrong person."
The old woman was about to say something else, when someone suddenly pulled her sleeve quietly and whispered beside her: "You are crazy! This is the monk!!"
The old woman was excited, and when she took a closer look, sure enough, she was wearing monk's robes, and there were two young men in monk's robes standing beside her, glaring at her, mother and son.
The old woman immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The old woman is blind and has offended the monk. Damn it, damn it!"
The dark-skinned man carrying the burden on the side also turned purple. He felt suffocated when he knelt down, and was really frightened when he didn't kneel down. It wasn't until the old woman beside him pulled him down, pressed his head and knocked him on the ground that he took advantage of the situation. Kneel down.
Just as he was about to kowtow, Li Chengfeng stopped him. He smiled bitterly and said, "It was my negligence that led to this misunderstanding. Please get up quickly."
Li Chengfeng helped the two of them up, and then asked the man, "Are you also called Hei Dan?"
Seeing Li Chengfeng's kind expression, the man felt relieved and said, "Yes, everyone around here knows me as Hei Dan."
Li Chengfeng asked: "Is there anyone else named Hei Dan?"
The man next to him who had stopped the old woman suddenly said, "There are eight or not ten people called Hei Dan here."
Li Chengfeng glanced at him and saw that there was nothing special about him except that he was skinny, so he asked, "Why are there so many people called Hei Dan here?"
The thin man smiled and said: "I want the monks to know that the sun in our south is very poisonous every day, and we have a low life. The wind and sun are blowing all day long, so how can it not be dark? If a general wants to fight, from now on The southern states are recruiting people from all over the place, and naturally there will be more people with such a cheap name as Hei Dan.”
Li Chengfeng suddenly understood. He described the Hei Dan he knew to the people in front of him and said, "Do you know this Hei Dan?"
This thin man was obviously a small local snake here. When he heard this, he immediately fell silent and said with a somewhat ugly face: "I think I know her. It's just that the monk knows the mother who wants to find him. I'm afraid she won't be able to find her."
Li Chengfeng said solemnly: "We must find a way to find her! No matter where she is! I must send this pension to her!"
The thin man sighed and said, "I'm afraid this old man will not have such a good life. After his son secretly ran away to join the army, the old woman missed her son all day long. Every now and then, she would sit at the door and cry, until her eyes were blinded by tears. Later, there was a disaster in Suizhou, so she fled here with us and received relief from the general. However, the old man’s body and bones had long been damaged by missing her son, and she died of illness not long after arriving here. "
Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing also looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.
Li Chengfeng was even more shocked: "Dead?"
The thin man nodded: "He's dead."
Li Chengfeng asked: "Where is it buried?"
The thin man smiled bitterly and said: "You guys all have a low life here, how can you care about having a place to bury them? Many people died at that time, and the official was afraid of the plague, so as soon as he died, he was taken away and burned immediately!"
Li Chengfeng was dumbfounded after hearing this, his heart was heavy, and his chest felt more like a huge boulder pressing down on him. He was so depressed that he felt flustered. He had promised Heidan to send the pension to his mother, but now it was impossible to complete his promise. Last wish.
After a while, Li Chengfeng said: "Then does she have other children?"
The thin man shook his head and said: "If there were still more, I wouldn't have cried my whole body because my son went to be a soldier."
Li Chengfeng sighed for a while. He was carrying Hei Dan's pension in his arms, but he felt like he was carrying a hot stone. He had to take out some broken silver, thanked the three people in front of him, and took Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing here. Take a walk in the disaster area.
What I saw at this time were all skinny refugees, and wailing widows everywhere. Even the leaking breasts of pregnant women breastfeeding in the street were as dry as a rag bag, and the baby lying on it was sucking hard, But she couldn't produce any milk, so she had to cry loudly.
There is no luster in the eyes of most people here. Even the news of a great victory cannot stimulate them. They seem to have had their souls harvested by ghosts and gods, and have become a group of walking zombies with only survival instincts.
The further Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing walked, the heavier their moods became. Walking out of a street like this, Zhao Xiaobao couldn't help but said: "Master, let's go back. It's too crowded here."
"Penetrating people?" Li Chengfeng murmured in a low voice, "Yeah, it's really infiltrating people here."
Han Tianxing also shuddered and said: "Fortunately, we won this battle! Otherwise, Daqi would be in danger!"
"Win? Did we really win?"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind them. The three of them were startled and looked back, only to see Gao Shenghan standing behind them with a half-smiling smile. They didn't know when he came.
Gao Shenghan was wearing an ordinary officer's uniform, followed by two monks in black robes. He waved to the two monks who were protecting him, walked to Li Chengfeng, smiled slightly and said, "Yes What makes you think we won this battle?"
Han Tianxing was a little dissatisfied and said: "This battle has completely destroyed the puppet country and the Dijon country. They have no strength to fight anymore. Why don't they win?"
Gao Shenghan sneered and glanced around: "Do you think we can still fight?"
Faced with the tragic situation in front of him, Han Tianxing fell silent.
Gao Shenghan said: "It can only be said that we fought this battle with all our strength. From a certain perspective, we did win, but if we really think that we have completely won, then we are too naive!"
Li Chengfeng heard something in Gao Shenghan's words and said, "Please give me some advice from the military advisor."
Gao Shenghan said: "The war is over, and there are still negotiations. If the negotiations are not done well, it is very likely that everything won on the battlefield will be lost later."
As he said that, he took a deep look at Li Chengfeng: "You will return to Shenjing soon. It is a place a hundred times more terrifying than the battlefield here! Because there, you don't know who your enemy is. , you don’t even know if your friend is your friend!”
The more Li Chengfeng listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with this sentence. He asked, "What does the military advisor mean by this?"
Gao Shenghan said meaningfully: "Master Li knows better than me."
Li Chengfeng wanted to speak again, but Gao Shenghan had already begun to see off the guests: "Okay, I am busy with military affairs, so I won't see off Lord Li."
Li Chengfeng came out of the tent, and Han Tianxing asked in confusion: "Brother, what kind of attack is he doing?"
Li Chengfeng said solemnly: "I don't know, I only know that when we return to Beijing this time, I'm afraid we will be greeted with more than just flowers and cheers!"
