Before Yue Pengju had gone far, he saw Zhang Xian coming quickly with two guards.
The two of them were a little surprised. Why did Zhang Xian come so early in the morning
Zhang Xian got off his horse, looked very unhappy, and asked hurriedly: "Pengju, are you going out again?"
Yue Pengju didn't answer but asked: "Zhang Xian, what happened?"
Zhang Xian was very angry: "We have received an order to mobilize our troops to Xiangyang."
Yue Pengju was shocked: "Why?"
"It is said that the imperial court negotiated with the captives, and the Jin Kingdom proposed to return the land in the two rivers..."
Return the land of Lianghe? The veteran general Zongze always shouted "cross the river, cross the river" before he died. The capital of the Song Dynasty used to be Bianjing, and now the Jin people still hold the two deposed emperors hostage and refuse to return them, and they also intend to support puppets to station in Bianjing at any time. How could they easily return the land of Lianghe? Even if it is returned, what price will the Song State have to pay
Yue Pengju only asked: "How many troops and horses are left here?"
"Leave only a thousand."
What can a thousand guards accomplish
Wouldn't this withdrawal of troops open the door again
Hua Rong suddenly asked: "Who is the minister presiding over the peace talks in the DPRK now?"
"I heard it was Qin Hui. After this guy returned to the Song Dynasty, he made many suggestions to His Majesty. He will preside over all the peace talks this time..."
Sure enough, the chess pieces laid out by Jin Wushu were showing their effectiveness step by step. Hua Rong suddenly remembered the letter he had written to expose Qin Hui, and his vest felt a little cold.
Zhang Xian said: "Pengju, what are your plans now?"
Originally, the couple planned to go to Xiangyang as soon as the situation stabilized, but now, they no longer want to go. Yue Pengju looked at his wife and said calmly: "We will live here now."
Zhang Xian hesitated a little and said slowly: "Pengju, you might as well take your sister-in-law with you on the journey. In a big place like Xiangyang, there must be more doctors. Someone will always have a way."
"There is no forest there, and it is not convenient for hunting animals. Zhang Xian, please go back first."
Zhang Xian could no longer persuade him, so he got on his horse and left in dismay.
Because of this incident, the good mood of the couple was completely ruined. Yue Peng raised his gun and comforted his wife with a forced smile: "The weather is good today. I will definitely hunt a tiger back and make tiger skin boots for my son."
Hua Rong smiled sweetly: "Okay, take the tiger skin and I will make a pair of tiger skin sandals for you and your son."
It's a sunny day.
In the continuous sunny days, the snow on the surrounding trees has long melted, and the gentle spring breeze is like a pair of magical hands. In almost a few nights, countless greens appear on the bare land. And those trees, those that have experienced a The trees in the spring snow have been put on a new layer of goose yellow, swaying with an extremely vigorous vitality.
The sun was fine, and the guard took a wide stool made of rough birch wood and placed it on the grass outside. The stool was covered with a thick piece of tiger skin.
Hua Rong sat on the stool and looked up at the sky. The spring sunshine was extremely soft and not dazzling at all. In the afternoon, it was the warmest time of the day. She was still wearing thick clothes, and when the wind blew from her neck , still feel a little chilly.
Lu Wenlong was running around. He was lively and active. His thick tiger-skin jacket had been replaced by a speckled leopard-skin jacket. Sometimes he pulled at the grass, and sometimes watched the birds flying in the trees. There was a kind of emerald-colored bird with two long colorful feathers trailing from its tail. It was flying around in the forest dazzlingly. He watched it interestingly and wondered how to catch one.
However, no matter how he ran around waving his short fat arms and sweating profusely, he still couldn't get the point. The birds still sat on the treetops and sang twitteringly. He had no choice but to cross his hands and raise his head. After staring for a long time, he ran over in a few steps: "Mom, mom... I want a bird... the kind that sings..."
Hua Rong holds a needle and thread in his hand and is sewing some thin rabbit skins to make a jacket for his son. Spring is here, summer is coming, and we can't always wear tiger skins, leopard skins, etc.
She sewed stitch by stitch and said softly: "The birds sing so beautifully. If you catch them, they can't sing anymore..."
"No, I want it to sing on the ground."
"Birds fly in the sky, but when they land on the ground, they cry."
"I will be very good to it, how can it cry?"
"Because it can't see its father and mother..."
"well… "
Hua Rong heard him sighing like a grown-up, and burst into laughter. He said seriously, "If dad is here, I can catch him. Mom, when will dad come back?"
"My father went to hunt tigers and will be back before dark."
The child raised his head and looked at the sun: "How long does it take for it to get dark?"
"A few more hours."
He was very disappointed and said to himself: "That vicious uncle knows how to catch birds... Oh, if only he was here..."
The "evil uncle" was naturally King Qin. On the way back, King Qin caught all kinds of birds to coax him. So, after such a long time, he still remembered the "evil uncle".
Hua Rong saw that his brows were tangled and wrinkled into a strange "Sichuan" character. He looked very young and mature. He laughed and said: "My child, go and practice martial arts. When you are older and your martial arts skills are better, you can climb trees and catch birds by yourself." Son…”
He went to get his own spear and ran over. There were two spears. Yue Pengju made them for him. Because of his childish nature, he made two spears for him to choose. But he liked them both and often picked them up and danced together.
He followed his father's instructions and practiced each move for a while. Hua Rong saw that he was sweating profusely and said softly: "My child, take a rest."
He ran over. Hua Rong took out a handkerchief and put down the gun. He happened to see a green bird parked on the grass in front of him, so he walked over quietly and whispered: "Mom, the bird doesn't know, I will go over quietly." Catch it…”
Hua Rong laughed, but he stopped and looked at his mother nervously. Hua Rong immediately understood that he wanted to keep silent. She quickly cooperated and stopped laughing. He turned around and walked very lightly. Just walk towards the bird.
He approached lightly, stretched out his hand, and the bird flew away naturally. He was very disappointed, but suddenly saw the small red flowers blooming on the grass in front of him, so he became happy again and ran over to pick them happily. safflower.
Hua Rong saw him running further and further away without calling him, and slowly put the needle and thread in her hands on her knees. The warm sun made her tired, maybe it was spring sleepiness. These days, she always felt sleepy, and she leaned on On the back of the chair behind him, he closed his eyes and took a nap for a while.
Lu Wenlong picked a bunch of small red flowers and came back, shouting repeatedly: "Mom, mom..."
Hua Rong closed her eyes and let him run around with a smile on her face.
Slowly, a man poked his head out from behind a big tree where three people were hugging each other. This was already his third day here. In the first two days, he had not shown up because Yue Pengju was there. Today, he also He has been standing here for a long time, watching this ordinary scene - he never knew that such an ordinary scene would make his heart surge, as if a strange emotion was awakening, but also like a familiar emotion settling down.
He looked at the bouncing child greedily. In just a few months, he had grown half a head taller. He was wearing a spotted leopard skin jacket and a similar leopard skin hat on his head. She has already taken it off, her hair is combed into two corners, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her face is rosy, and she has a pair of little boots with the same leopard pattern on her feet. She is running around energetically, looking like a fire boy.
He held a large number of flowers and stood beside the chair behind the woman, leaning against her, wrapping his soft arms around her neck, inserting the flowers in his hand into her hair one by one, and giving them to her. Wearing a head full of little red flowers.
"Mom, mom... you look good..."
The child looked at the flowers on his mother's head and was very proud, giggling.
The woman closed her eyes and remained motionless, letting the child's soft hands play with her. She always had that gentle and sweet smile on her face, which together with the half-sewn clothes hanging down from her knees, formed an extremely loving feminine charm.
Even a rough man would be moved by such a scene. He stood there for a long time, listening to the child's carefree laughter and teasing.
Love, because you experience love, you will be like this, right? !
Even if the child is waiting with Tianwei and the wet nurse, he has never been so strong and lively, with his nature so relaxed.
In half a year, she has developed such a close relationship with her child. Besides love, what other reason could there be
And she!
Her hands hanging on her knees were pale and thin. Under the sunlight, the back of her hands revealed a faint cyan color, as if they were transparent. And her face was also as jade-like and translucent because of such injuries. , is even more slender, and the whole person reveals an indescribable romantic attitude.
He suddenly felt a little soft all over his body, and his heart almost jumped out of excitement.
The child wrapped itself around its mother's neck, held her head, and kept shouting: "Mom, mom, look, there are more beautiful birds... I want birds, catch them quickly..."
"Haha, when mom gets better, I'll teach you how to shoot an arrow, shoot it down... um..." She seemed to be strangled by the neck, and the child let go, ran forward, climbed on top of her, and hugged her very affectionately. , let her hug her, lay in her arms, and kept acting coquettishly: "Mom, mom... When will you get better..."
Under the bright sunshine, he heard her weak laughter, her breathing was a little short, and her face slowly began to turn purple. It was obvious that she was overwhelmed by the child's load. But how could the child know this? Still lying in her arms, he stretched out his arms to hug her neck, "Mom, what do you say..."
He tiptoed and walked slowly over.
Something hit the child on the back. As soon as he let go, he said "yo" and saw a familiar gadget fell on the ground. He quickly let go of his mother and ran over to pick it up. Then, he clapped his hands and laughed happily, and threw himself on the visitor's face. In the arms: "Abba, Abba..."
"Daddy, daddy, I miss you..."
Hua Rong turned his back to the father and son, and wanted to turn around, but felt that his eyes were too sleepy to open, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. His son was always in awe of Yue Pengju, but why did he call him "father" today? So kind? She said softly: "Pengju, are you back so early today? You can catch a bird for your son, he has been pestering me..."
"Okay, Dad, catch me a bird quickly... Look, it's on the top of the tree..."
