The first few sergeants who entered the door were tall and thin, with short eyebrows, calm and steady. Behind him was a big man with a red face, Yan chin and tiger beard, stern and majestic.
Hearing that someone was asking about General Qiu's situation, they did not immediately introduce their general with enthusiasm like ordinary people, but showed a look of suspicion.
The tall and thin man calmly looked at Yuan Xiang'er and the others. Seeing that they were from the Central Plains and accompanied by young female relatives, he relaxed a little, lifted his hem and sat down directly in front of Zhou Deyun.
"Wait to ask about the current situation of my general, what is the so-called?"
Zhou Deyun has always lived in the hinterland of the Central Plains. He spent his days writing poems and throwing pots and listening to music in spring. All the people who came and went were elegant and handsome.
All of a sudden, a group of soldiers and men, with the murderous aura that had not faded from the battlefield, with their armors sonorous and cold blades like frost, sat in front of him with a clatter, and he couldn't help chilling down his spine.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say that their general was his wife, and he stammered for a while and didn't know how to answer.
The red-faced man was impatient. Seeing Zhou Deyun faltering and unable to answer, he raised his palm the size of a palm fan and patted the table.
"You bird man, I'm here to inquire about my general's news, but I can't answer any questions from you. Could it be a detailed work sent by the Hu people?"
Zhou Deyun was taken aback by him, and a burst of grievances filled his heart.
In the past, when he went out, he was rich, and there were many servants and wives. Everyone held him and complimented him, and he never suffered any grievances. But during this period of time, walking around, sleeping in the wind, not to mention being frightened by huge monsters, passing through villages full of bones, and being yelled at by these ruffians, really It's very frustrating.
What's there to be proud of, you bastards, when you look back at the general, if it's really my wife, let's see how I ask my wife to deal with you. He thought bitterly in his heart.
"We are fellow villagers from General Chou's hometown, and since we heard that the general is here, we want to meet him." Qiu Yueming took over for Zhou Deyun.
Looking at the group of brothers in front of him, he was very excited, but there was no clue on his face, but his eyes were slightly red.
The tall and thin man was named Xiao Lin, and the red-faced man was named Zhu Xinyi. Xiao Linconghui is calm and Zhu Xinyi is brave and resolute, they are the two closest brothers to him.
They have blocked each other's guns for each other, and pulled each other out from the dead pile several times. They are brothers who share life and death, and have a life-long friendship. He once thought that he would be separated from these brothers forever and never see each other again. I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to see them face to face like this today.
Xiao Lin is also looking at the woman in front of him. He hasn't married yet, but he also knows that in the frontier areas, the status of women is very low, and when normal men talk, women are not qualified to intervene.
In his impression, no matter which senior's house he went to as a guest, the women in the back house all bowed their heads and dared not look directly at these men. Don't say that they are not even qualified to go to the dinner table.
However, the person speaking in front of her was different from an ordinary woman. She sat there, her back straightened habitually, her hands resting on her knees naturally, and her eyes were clear and straight at him, without any shyness.
Xiao Lin inexplicably saw some kind of familiarity from the figure of this woman. It seems that she is not an unfamiliar back house woman, but a brother in the tent that she should be familiar with.
"Are you guys from my general's hometown?" Xiao Lin asked aside the strange thoughts in his mind.
Qiu Yueming swallowed the familiar name that he almost blurted out, and calmly spoke,
"This... General, since he is a close friend of General Qiu, he must have heard the General mentioned that there is a sour jujube forest in the back mountain of his hometown, where the jujubes are sour and sweet, very delicious. There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. The mussels are big and delicious. General Qiu had a friend named Da Pang who went up the mountain and down the river from a young age. Unfortunately, when he was thirteen years old, Da Pang was picked on the tip of the gun by the barbarians who invaded the village. After that, he joined the army. …”
It was a snowy night. They were besieged by the enemy for several days. They ran out of food and water. They hid behind trenches and gnawed on the snow and ice on the ground to feed their hunger.
Qiu Yueming talked to the two brothers around him about the delicacies of his hometown, about the sweet jujubes, about the plump mussels, and about his childhood friends who were looking for delicious food together.
"That's right, the general has only told us about this. It seems that he is indeed the general's hometown." After hearing this, Zhu Xinyi no longer doubted. He shook his head, "Ashamed, ashamed. Lao Zhu, I am a rough person. Don't see the outside world, my fellow, we will take you a few to see our generals."
Several people let go of their guard, took out the bold enthusiasm of the Saibei man, and led Zhou Deyun and his party to the general's mansion.
Along the way, Yuan Xianger and others chatted about the current situation of the General Chou.
"Speaking of the battle in Fengzhou at that time, it was really thrilling. The thief's cold arrow hit the general's heart, and the moment the general fell off the horse, I felt that the sky was falling, and I cried on the spot." Zhu Xinyi talked about the battle in which General Chou was injured a year ago, and still has a heart. "Fortunately, God heard my prayer. The general looked so dangerous at the time. He was in a coma for several days, and finally turned around and came back. ."
Xiao Lin, who was walking in front, listened to what he said and couldn't help laughing.
"Linzi, what are you laughing at? You were crying too. Don't think I didn't see it."
Xiao Lin was exposed, his face was a little red, and he explained to Zhou Deyun and others, "The general's situation at that time was indeed very critical, so that when he just woke up, he was a little dazed, so he specially called the application, After withdrawing from the front line, I came to this Datong Mansion to recuperate. Who knows that even here, I will inevitably have to fight with the enemy."
Yuan Xianger and Qiu Yueming looked at each other, and they both heard the information they wanted to obtain from the words of the two generals. It seems that Qiu Yueming's body was indeed occupied by another unknown soul after he fell into a coma, and this person was very uncomfortable with Qiu Yueming's identity at first, so he had to retreat from the front line by recuperating and live in this Datong Mansion. It was only because the enemy army was besieging the city that he stepped forward and provoked the responsibility of guarding the city.
A few people were talking and came to the front of the general's mansion, and they bumped into a group of men and horses returning to the mansion. Among the crowd was one person, wearing a plain flower robe, riding a black horse, flying eyebrows into the temples, looking forward to extraordinary, straight. It was the supernatural general Qiu Yueming, who became famous for the young man.
"Qiu Yueming" sitting on the horse's back, and Qiu Yueming in Zhou Niangzi's body saw each other, and both were stunned on the spot. The man opened his mouth in surprise and was about to speak when her eyes met Zhou Deyun's.
Zhou Deyun was excited, took two steps forward, and shouted Ding Yan, Mrs. Zhou's name, while trembling.
"Ayan, Ayan."
Ding Yan's eyelids widened instantly, she froze for a moment, and gave an order coldly, "Drive these people away, and don't allow them to approach the general's residence for half a step."
After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and entered the mansion first. Zhu Xinyi and Xiao Lin looked at each other, and they could only helplessly shake their heads at Zhou Deyun and others, and followed the general's mansion.
The gate of vermilion lacquer slammed shut after the general's order. He gave Yuan Xianger and the others a slap in the face.
Zhou Deyun suddenly panicked, pulling Yuan Xianger and asking, "What's the matter, little gentleman? Isn't certain Fei my wife?"
Yuan Xiang'er glanced at Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan nodded and said, "It is indeed the soul of a woman, and her appearance is exactly the same as the wife of the Zhou family."
Zhou Deyun said anxiously, "Since she is my wife, why don't you recognize me? My wife is the most knowledgeable, and she has always been gentle and considerate with me. How could she be so cold and unfamiliar?"
At the moment in the General's Mansion,
"General Chou" strode away from the crowd, almost staggered into the wing, and locked himself in it alone.
In the dimly lit wing room, she did not know how long she sat alone in it.
Until the sky was completely dark, Ding Yan was still sitting in the dark room, staring blankly at the dragon-scale Aoshuang armor on the shelf. It was like the body she was wearing, bright and sturdy, which could give her the freedom to roam the world, but it didn't belong to her after all.
The door of the house creaked open, and a little warm yellow candle light came in. It was her most trusted housekeeper who held the lamp and entered.
"What makes the general so worried, I don't know if I can talk to the servants." The housekeeper lit the lights in the house all the way, and the house gradually became brighter and warmer, "If it's those sons who were found during the day, whether it's the autumn wind What kind of relatives do you have, as long as you say something, General, the slaves will go to send you off, why is the General so distressed?"
Ding Yan, the wife of the Zhou family, looked at the woman who had passed the age of Zhaohua in front of her. There was a hideous scar on her face, which was scratched by the person herself. This is a woman who was rescued from the game by herself accidentally. Her husband is a gambler. It was Ding Yan's occasional entertainment that bought her back from that filthy place.
Although she suffered such humiliation and ruined her appearance, the people in front of her were still gentle and calm, not in a hurry, and calmly and calmly helped her manage the huge general's mansion.
Yes, she is also a woman, she can get through even this kind of hardship, there is nothing she can't get through. Ding Yan thought so in her heart.
"They're not fighting the autumn breeze. It's me..." She sighed, and finally said the words she didn't want to touch. "It's me who occupied other people's things, but I'm still reluctant to return them."
The housekeeper stopped the movements in her hands, showing a puzzled and surprised look.
"Call Lao Zhu and Linzi in for me," said her general.
Xiao Lin and Zhu Xinyi stood in front of "General Chou" and listened to the training with their heads bowed. Even a rough man like Zhu Xinyi realized that something was wrong.
The general sat on the top seat and watched them silent for a long time, and finally said, "After self-injury, my mind was slack and I forgot a lot of things, but it caused a lot of trouble for the two brothers."
Xiao Lin and Zhu Xinyi exchanged glances, clasped their fists and saluted, "What's wrong with the general today? Is there something wrong with those people? Or did the subordinates make a mistake? But please ask the general to punish."
The most respected general in their hearts waved his arms, "It has nothing to do with you. I asked you to come, just to ask you one thing. After my injury, is it much worse than before?"
Xiao Lin couldn't figure out what she meant, so he could only answer cautiously, "Why did the general say such a thing? Although the general has forgotten a lot of things after being seriously injured, the general has redoubled his efforts over the past year to practice martial arts and warfare, and he is putting a little bit of the past behind him. All of them were picked up. This time the enemy army was besieging the city, the general was even more prudent in command and strategy. The lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city were given by the general, and it can be said that everyone respects the general.”
He saw that his general seemed to be relieved for a long time, and finally showed a smile, "That's good, I know that I have nothing inferior to others after all."
"Damn, boss, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Xin said in confusion, "Boss, you don't know, in fact, everyone said that your irritability was cured by your illness. Before... hehe, before everyone I'm very afraid of you. Even if I was stared at by you, Lao Zhu, I would have to play in my heart for a whole day. Now it's just right. You gave each of our brothers a set of cotton clothes before the New Year, which moved those little brats. tearful."
He poked Xiao Lin's arm, "You said yes, Linzi."
Xiao Lin agreed, "It's true. In the past, in front of the general, my heart was tense, but now I feel much more relaxed. I can also let go of things, and my subordinates feel that our army's heart is more stable than before."
"General Chou" clapped his hands and stood up, "Yes, then I will have no regrets. Even if I return to the original shape, I will naturally be me. Please make a trip for the two of you to take care of those people in the daytime. Please come back."
In an inn in Datong Prefecture, Zhou Deyun had red eyes and nose, and was sulking at the table full of dishes, and he didn't eat a single bite of the food.
"Why are you talking about this? Could it be that the lady is not willing to follow me back to a luxurious and comfortable home, but is willing to live in this bitter and cold place where the yellow sand is everywhere?" He put down his chopsticks and looked indignant.
Qiu Yueming was also restless, eating without a chopstick.
In the afternoon, he walked around the city and found that the security situation in Datong Mansion was very good. The patrolling soldiers were well trained and the city guards were well arranged. He thought of the hurried glance outside the gate of the General's Mansion, and saw his body straddling the horse and whipping the whip, with a remarkable demeanor, galloping forward, he could hardly believe that what was loaded in it was a weak woman.
"Go to her tomorrow. If she still has this attitude, we can only force her soul to be detained and exchanged. Although I admire her, there is no reason to forcefully occupy other people's bodies." Yuan Xianger took out her disgust. The exquisite ball gifted by the woman spun around in the air, and the cold bell made all the people present shake their heads.
Qiu Yueming: "This lady is very personable. I am grateful for what she has done during this period. I hope I can still have the opportunity to have a good chat with her."
Zhou Deyun held his head and still couldn't believe it. When the lady saw his appearance, she was not moved and cried with joy. Instead, he left as quickly as possible.
He pondered for a long time, and felt that his family was wealthy, and he was a good husband. The two of them had always been harmonious. He only felt very satisfied with this marriage. , no longer miss him
Nan He's back was stung by a scorpion, and it turned black and green. Yuan Xiang'er used the detoxification plaster given by the scorpion to change the dressing on Nan He's shoulder.
"You'll know if you ask Brother Qin Guan." Yuan Xiang'er said while applying medicine to Nan He, "Is he willing to come back here to face the fierce enemies, or live in the splendid and prosperous backyard of your home?"
"This, how can this be the same. The lady is a woman, how can she compare with brother Qin Guan."
"Is there any difference? As long as you are willing to really think from the perspective of the other person, you will find that as long as you are a person, regardless of gender, your thoughts and needs are actually the same."
Zhou Deyun couldn't accept it. Na Na was speechless and had to bury his head in eating.
"Don't move if your hand is injured. Shall I feed you?" Yuan Xianger coaxed Nanhe with the food.
"No... No need, a little injury." Nan He stretched out his left hand to pick up the bowls and chopsticks.
"You want to talk about a little injury, just lick it. You tell me how to lick the back?" Yuan Xianger raised the spoon and approached him, "Ah, open your mouth."
"No, Ah Xiang, you are biased, and I will feed you too." Wu Yuan squatted on the chair and opened her mouth.
"Then I too..." Saburo squeezed beside him and opened his mouth as well.
Yuan Xianger was laughed at by them for a while.
There is a lot of noise here, and a servant enters the house to report the general's request.
"Really? The lady sent someone to invite me. She finally remembered that it's better to be at home. She changed her mind and wanted to go back with me?" Zhou Deyun jumped up, tidying up his clothes and going to follow.
Yuan Xianger and Qiu Yueming glanced at each other in surprise. The attitude of the lady Zhou in the morning was obviously very reluctant to see them. Did you figure it out so soon
Several of them followed the people into the General's Mansion and were invited into the main hall.
The general Shenwei was sitting on the main seat, and when he saw them entering, he waved the screen and stepped back. She looked up at Qiu Yueming, who was sitting in the guest seat, and was silent for a long time, then she smiled bitterly.
"I never thought that my body is still alive, and you can still take her and come to me."
