She once picked up a bulging cotton money bag, which was the first time she saw silver, broken silver, a very small grain, not as big as her fingernail, but it still made her happy to this day. If there is no harvest in the city, you have to try your luck outside the city, go to the river to touch fish, climb trees and dig out bird nests. I remember that at the end of last year, the river froze, and I saw someone chiseling the ice to catch many fat fish. It looked relaxed and comfortable. Another huge profit, she only needs to squat on the ice, so she tried it once, and almost died of freezing, but was rescued by a kind-hearted passing vendor. That unforgettable lesson let the child know a truth, her luck is not good , then don't expect God to be generous to her.
A skinny little black girl was running happily in Hujia City with her feet just like that.
Returning to the deserted ancient temple in the twilight, she had more vegetable leaves and a bag of cicadas caught from the tree in her hand. Today, God opened his eyes and sneaked her into a wedding banquet in the east of the city at noon. She feels that now her mouth is full of that The oily taste left by the small pieces of pork, it's a pity that she cooked the rice very fast, but she was still carried out of the door before she finished eating the whole bowl.
In the night, Xu Fengnian stood at the window, saw the little girl frying cicadas in a pot, and hummed a little tune with her back to him, "Chop off the head to serve wine, dig out the heart and liver to cook in soy sauce, cramp and peel the skin." Let’s steam it, it’s delicious, but it’s not as crispy as fried cicadas... Day by day, I’m growing up day by day... "
Xu Fengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he watched the little girl carefully pick up a fried cicada and put it into her mouth, and looked at her thin back, he imagined that she was probably very satisfied at this time, and she was not worthy of others or himself. With a soft heart, he began to feel sad.
After a person lives for a lifetime, no matter whether it is suffering or blessing in adulthood, he can't blame his parents in heaven and earth.
But she is only this age.
Xu Fengnian sighed, he still found nothing in Shibei City, logically speaking he should return to the Northern Liang Army immediately, but on the way back, by accident, he remembered this little black charcoal, and somehow returned to the ancient temple in Hujia City.
The little girl turned her head suddenly, saw Xu Fengnian outside the window, she was stunned, then continued to move her cheeks, eating the delicious fried cicadas.
Gluttony and gluttony all pay attention to not eating when it is not in season, but poor people have to eat in season. If it is placed in a wealthy family, deep-fried cicadas can be regarded as a side dish that is quite vulgar and elegant although it is not on the table.
The little girl asked curiously, "Did you go to Stone Tablet City?"
Xu Fengnian nodded.
She hesitated for a moment, but she pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Hungry? Have you eaten? Haven't eaten. May I treat you to a meal?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Okay."
The little girl obviously hoped that the guy answered that she had eaten it, but she couldn't change her words, so she waved to Xu Fengnian bitterly. There were still seven fried cicadas in the pot, so she moved four to her side. Glancing at that guy from the corner of the eye, he gave him another one.
Xu Fengnian squatted face to face with her, picked up a fried cicada and put it in his mouth, it was bland and tasteless, and there was a kind of earthy smell without seasoning, but Xu Fengnian remembered for no reason how miserable he was when he walked with Lao Huang back then. Scenery, unconsciously a smile appeared on his face.
She proudly asked, "Is it delicious?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "It's delicious."
After a battle between heaven and man, she patted her belly, pretending to be bold and said: "I'm full, I'll give you the rest."
After Xu Fengnian ate four fried cicadas, he shook his head and smiled, "No, I can starve better than you."
She tilted her head and asked, "You really don't want to eat?"
Xu Fengnian hummed, and while she was eating fried cicadas, she looked around, while the little girl took the opportunity to size him up.
She clapped her hands and asked, "Do you want to enjoy the cool?"
Seeing that Xu Fengnian didn't object, so she took this guy who didn't hate or fear in her heart, one big and one small climbed the tree to the roof, and lay down together looking at the starry sky.
She asked in a low voice, "Don't you have a home?"
Xu Fenghou put his head on his arm and said with a smile, "Yes, and it's bigger than your home."
She pursed her lips and said, "Hey, hey, don't brag, okay, my family is still small, so this big land is all mine."
A meteor streaked across the sky.
The little girl quickly closed her eyes and made a wish.
Xu Fengnian said softly, "Have you made a wish? What wish?"
The little girl rolled her eyes and said: "Didn't your parents tell you that it won't work if you express your wish!"
Xu Fengnian looked at the incomparably gorgeous summer starry sky, and said softly: "I'm telling you, in fact, no matter whether you say it or not, whether you tell others or not, it doesn't work."
The little girl hurriedly poohed a few times, then turned her head and stared angrily at the crow-mouthed guy.
Xu Fengnian smiled apologetically, "That's my own experience, maybe you are different."
The two were silent for a long time.
She asked suddenly, "Have you ever ridden a horse?"
Xu Fengnian said: "Of course, I have ridden a horse since I was very young. Why, do you want to ride a horse?"
She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you a secret, my father has many, many horses, my father has 10,000 horses, no, 100,000 horses!"
Xu Fengnian joked with a smile: "Little girl, do you know how many 100,000 horses are there? If you let the horses run side by side, the backs of the horses will look like the earth from a height."
She murmured, "That's it."
Xu Fengnian lay on his side, looked at her and said, "You treat me to four fried cicadas, I can grant you four wishes, for example, you can say let me treat you to a chicken leg, let me give you one I will try my best to satisfy you for two silver or something, how about it, am I a pretty good customer?"
The little girl shook her head, and said solemnly: "My mother said to treat people with sincerity, so I gave you fried cicadas, not sold them to you. Besides, if you really sell them, you won't be able to sell them for a copper coin. "
Xu Fengnian reached out and pinched her cheek.
The little girl didn't refuse, but she didn't show Xu Fengnian a good face either. She suddenly sighed, "When I was young..."
Xu Fengnian couldn't help interrupting her words, "You are also very young now."
She stared, and continued: "When I was young, my mother said that in the south, every summer, there will be something called fireflies, flying around, so beautiful!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "That's right, the poets over there like to call them Xiaozhu, Yeguang or Sedum."
She blinked her eyes, shining brightly, and asked curiously: "Do they really glow? Why? I asked my mother, but she didn't tell me, she said let me ask my dad, but my dad... no Tell me."
Xu Fengnian replied seriously: "That's because the firefly's tail has light sacs, which emit yellow-green fluorescence."
Xu Fengnian added with a smile: "Your father is really stingy, and I won't tell you that."
She raised her fist, and put on a posture that I will beat you if you speak ill of my father.
The little girl sighed.
Xu Fengnian also sighed for no reason.
The two continued not to speak.
Xu Fengnian raised his legs and enjoyed this rare peace.
Since the start of the war in Liangmang, in the past four years, there have been endless battles, endless drums and horseshoes, endless battles, and countless people killed.
Perhaps in the future, history books will use the words "magnificent" to describe this war, but as the authorities in it, no one can really take a breather.
Xu Fengnian always felt that he was much, much worse than Xu Xiao.
This is how leading soldiers fight.
Being a father is even more so.
Xu Xiao, the father, left him a hereditary king of Beiliang, 300,000 cavalry, and gave him Xu Fengnian's youth and frivolity for a full 20 years. In Beiliang, his royal highness was even more carefree than being a prince. .
This is the so-called home of good deeds must have Yuqing.
And when it was his turn to be a father, where was his child
Does this mean that there must be disasters in the house of evil
A soft voice came from my ear, "You miss home?"
Xu Fengnian said with emotion: "Yes."
The little girl imitated Xu Fengnian's way of lifting Erlang's legs, shaking them, humming a new impromptu tune intermittently, "Firefly, firefly, follow me home obediently..."
Anyway, upside down, just one line of lyrics.
After an unknown period of time, Xu Fengnian, who could not hear the singing, found that the little girl had fallen asleep.
Fearing that she would catch a cold, Xu Fengnian took off his robe and covered her body gently.
Xu Fengnian looked at the sky until dawn.
The little girl who had been huddled in a warm robe all night woke up with a yawn. Seeing the man sitting cross-legged, she didn't know what to say for a while.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and smiled and asked: "Little girl, do you want to come to my house to play, and take care of food, clothing and sleep?"
She said with disdain, "No."
Perhaps because she was afraid that it would be hurtful to reject others' kindness so simply and neatly, she grinned and said, "I'm sorry, I can't just wander around."
Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand and rubbed her messy chicken coop hair, "It's okay, I'll come to play with you later."
"Next time you come, can you bring chicken legs?"
"able."
"Hook?"
"Okay."
Adults and children pulled the hook very seriously.
Xu Fengnian's smiling face remained unchanged, but he quickly got up and looked in the direction of the city gate.
The little black girl first followed her line of sight, then looked around, her face turned pale immediately.
Hundreds of black dots flew across the roof and leaped forward, heading straight for her little home.
Xu Feng explained in a young voice: "Don't be afraid, those people are looking for me. I will definitely help you find a safe place afterwards, and keep chicken legs every now and then."
Previously, he swam swiftly and elusively in the states of the Southern Dynasties. Even if there were Qi practitioners watching him in Beimang, he would not be able to mobilize troops to intercept him for a while, but the Aquarius State in the hinterland of Beiting was different.
Judging from the situation, not only the spider web was dispatched in full force, but also several elite cavalry came galloping.
It's just that the little girl's lips trembled, and she said in a trembling voice: "No, they are all looking for me."
She suddenly pushed Xu Fengnian and screamed, "Run away, run away! Leave me alone!"
Xu Fengnian looked astonished, and looked down at the child who didn't know why he was in a panic. She grabbed his cuff, raised her head and choked up with red eyes: "Mother is gone, Uncle Xu is gone, Brother Tong Guan also broke an arm because of me." , it’s all my fault... you go, go quickly..."
Xu Fengnian was struck by lightning.
The little girl let go, hurriedly took out a long and narrow wooden knife from under another tile of the roof, and quickly handed it to Xu Fengnian. She raised her arm and wiped her tears indiscriminately, and said with a smile on her face, "You can run as far as you can. , if, I mean if, someday you can find my father, tell him that this is a gift from me, and also, my name is Xu Nianliang, and also, my nickname is Xiao sweet potato."
She grinned brightly, "My father's name is Xu Fengnian, and he is the King of Beiliang. He's very powerful, right? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Seeing those black spots getting bigger and bigger, she pushed the fool who was holding the wooden knife still, and said angrily: "Are you still going?! You are really going to die!"
Xu Fengnian squatted down slowly, pressing his forehead tightly against hers.
At that moment, he hugged her, not only burst into tears, but also sobbed.
Those cobweb spies who entered Hujia City with a death mentality settled on the nearby roofs one after another. Seeing this scene, the cold-blooded dead soldiers were also a little dumbfounded.
That King of Beiliang who made the entire Beimang Dynasty tremble, that invincible man in the world who seriously injured the Martial God Tuoba Bodhisattva and has not yet recovered, is crying
The encirclement piled up layer by layer, getting thicker and thicker, but each of the cobweb dead soldiers knew that in front of this man, they were just pawns who used hundreds of lives to delay time.
The little girl named Xu Nianliang had firm eyes and held the short wooden knife tightly in her hand.
Xu Fengnian let go of her, instead of wiping the tears on his face, he reached out to help her wipe her dirty cheeks.
"sorry."
The two spoke in unison.
Little Sweet Potato means that she has implicated him, a not-so-bad stranger.
She just didn't understand why he had to say sorry.
But if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. Anyway, it seems that both big and small unlucky guys are going to die here.
She didn't want to cry in front of those northern barbarians, stared at his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, I won't laugh at you, everyone is afraid of death, you see I cried just now."
Xu Fengnian stood up, lowered his head, carefully put on the long and narrow wooden knife carved by the child according to the shape of a cold knife, and hung it on his waist.
He said softly, "I found you, little sweet potato."
Inside the city are spider web dead soldiers.
There is a cavalry army of about 10,000 people around the city.
The sun is rising in the east, and the eastern glow is slowly advancing like a tidal wave.
Xu Fengnian put one hand on the little sweet potato's head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Little sweet potato, father failed to protect your mother, but he will definitely protect you. Today, we will go home together."
The child stood beside Xu Fengnian blankly, then cried out loudly.
Since she was sensible, this was the first time she cried so heartbreakingly.
Even when she left Dunhuang City with her mother, she was very sensible and didn't cry, even when she watched Brother Tong Guan's arm being cut off, she just covered her mouth and didn't dare to cry.
She cried loudly: "You didn't protect mother well, so I don't want to call you father!"
"I miss grandpa. If grandpa is here, I will let him beat you."
"You are the biggest villain in the world, return the wooden knife to me, I won't give it to you!"
"I don't want to make a wish to grow up and find you soon!"
Xu Fengnian looked at those cobweb dead men with cold eyes, and listened to the angry words of the sad child. The lips of the famous Northern Liang King trembled slightly, he hesitated to speak, but finally he did not say a word.
He made a fist with one hand, and rested the palm of the other on the rough handle of the narrow wooden knife.
At this moment, even if ten Tuoba Bodhisattvas at their peak block the way, even if all first-rank masters in the world appear here to fight him, even if Beimang still has a million cavalry standing in front of him.
Xu Fengnian is not afraid at all!
Xu Fengnian still burst into tears, but smiled more and more.
Little Sweet Potato, I found you.
Xu Fengnian let out a breath, and was about to let go of his hands and feet for a fight, when she suddenly pulled his cuffs, he squatted down, his eyes full of doubts.
She sniffled, raised her little hand, and wiped away his tears.
Xu Fengnian stared at his daughter, the little sweet potato who was dark in his eyes but prettier than all the children in the world, and said with a smile: "You are not bragging, your father Xu Fengnian is really a master as tall as a hundred-story building. "
After saying this sentence, the vision of heaven and earth suddenly appeared.
Hujia City.
Except this temple.
It is a whole city of Hujia.
A series of high-rise buildings were torn up and lifted up, a block of stone walls was torn up, and trees were uprooted and floated up.
Mixed with all the weapons in the city.
Almost everything dead rises into the sky.
Then on this small roof, he wears a long and narrow wooden knife on his waist, and Little Sweet Potato carries a short wooden knife.
This pair of father and daughter.
…
Daomaguan on the border of Youzhou has already restricted the passage of merchants.
There is a kid named Zhao Yousong, who trots all the way to the market with a happy face. He likes to squat on that small wall with his friends in the past year, watching them one after another Beiliang cavalry from here to there. In and out, the foreign teacher in their private school was the strictest. Although he was young, he was more knowledgeable than the old Mr. Hong. According to Mr. Xin, he came from Jiangnan Road in the Central Plains. I like to talk about the customs and customs there, and I hope that students like them can go to their hometown to study abroad, and that no matter where the seeds of study are, they should read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles to live up to this life. Today, the serious Mr. Village School actually drank alcohol! He was full of alcohol and drunk, and the whole school could smell it. Today's teacher shook his head and shook his head. It was so funny that he almost fell down several times, but he finally told them that our Beiliang won, and finally won, not only The Southern Dynasty of the barbarians of Beimang is completely under my Beiliang's iron hooves, and the two great masters surrendered one after another, haha, even the Beiting grassland will not be able to keep it!
Zhao Yousong ran so fast today that he left those peers and friends far behind.
He quickly ran to the low loess wall, squatted beside a little girl who had been waiting there a long time ago, whispered to her, and talked about the big and small things in the private school today.
The little girl's family is similar to his family. Although it is not the same village, the relationship between the two mothers and relatives is very good, and they often visit each other. Many people in the private school joke that they have booked a baby relative. Zhao Yousong will always His face was flushed, but he didn't want to deny it.
He is not stupid, he already liked her very much, she is white and fat, her eyes are so beautiful and watery, it is strange not to like her, those jokes he made the most vicious and vigorous, in fact, he also secretly likes her Hers, it's a pity that she only likes herself!
After listening to Zhao Yousong quietly, the little girl lowered her head and said timidly: "My mother is getting married, and that person just came to propose marriage."
Zhao Yousong looked surprised, and then asked in a low voice, "Is that Liu Biaochang from your village?"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
Zhao Yousong sighed heavily, and then comforted her old-fashionedly, "It's okay, although Liu Biaochang is five or six years younger than your mother, he is indeed a hero. Otherwise, how could he be the leader of our Beiliang tour crossbowmen?" I believe he will treat your mother well!"
The little girl tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear: "I heard that your gentleman likes your mother."
Zhao Youling, who was dark under the lamp, was really shocked this time, and sat down on the ground, "No way?"
The little girl felt aggrieved and said, "But my mother said the same thing."
Zhao Yousong cried, "Our husband is very nice, but I don't want him to be my stepfather at all!"
She asked puzzledly: "Why, my mother thinks that Mr. Zhang is very nice, good-looking, good-tempered, and knowledgeable. Last time your mother came to my house, my mother persuaded your mother to agree. "
Zhao Yousong shook his head vigorously, "No, no! My mother can't marry him!"
She frowned, then pouted, and said angrily, "Do you think that a scholar like you will lose face if your mother remarries?!"
In fact, she was afraid that he would look down on her. After all, her mother remarried.
Her mother always told herself that Zhao Yousong's child is the most precious scholar in the world, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future, so he can't miss it.
Zhao Yousong quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, if my mother really likes someone, I wish my mother would be happy, but I know my mother doesn't like Mr. Zhang!"
In fact, Zhao Yousong lied.
In fact, he didn't know whether his mother liked Mr. Private School or not, but in the child's mind, he hoped that if his mother really wanted to marry someone, she would marry that person.
But if mother really likes Mr. Zhang, he can only accept his fate.
Alas, worry.
Two children with their own concerns sat side by side on the top of the wall, staring at the gate of Daomaguan City in a daze.
Suddenly, Zhao Yousong's eyes lit up, he jumped off the wall, he didn't care about falling and eating shit, and ran all the way, the little girl was stunned, after recovering, she helped him to run down the city carefully with his book bag head.
Zhao Yousong ran to the man walking slowly from north to south, and shouted loudly, "Uncle Xu!"
The man waited until Zhao Yousong ran up to him, then asked with a smile, "Yousong, why didn't you call Brother Xu or Mr. Xu this time?"
Zhao Yousong grinned, blinked and said, "My mother taught me, why don't you ask her yourself?"
The man froze for a moment, then laughed it off, and said, I'm going to buy meat buns, you wait a while.
When he went to the shop to buy meat buns, Zhao Yousong suddenly found a little Heitan who was not far or near behind Uncle Xu. Fist to scare people.
The little girl with Zhao Yousong's childhood sweetheart came to him, panting, Zhao Yousong quickly took the book bag and apologized to her with a smile.
Zhao Yousong suddenly leaned his head and whispered in the little girl's ear. She was a little confused, but finally trotted away.
Little Heitan was Xu Nianliang, and the Uncle Xu that Zhao Yousong was talking about was Xu Fengnian who had just returned to Youzhou from Beimang.
Unless Xu Fengnian's father carried Little Sweet Potato all the way in order to hurry, otherwise, as long as she walked by herself, she would deliberately keep a distance of more than ten steps away from him, saying "I promise I won't follow you, but I won't follow you either." close” attitude.
So after entering this Daomaguan, it was like this again, Xu Fengnian had no choice but to do nothing.
Xu Fengnian bought four steaming big meat buns, handed them to Zhao Yousong beside him and asked with a smile, "Where's the little girl beside you?"
Zhao Yousong laughed and said, "Maybe it's something at home."
Xu Fengnian smiled and shook his head, turned around and walked towards the extremely stubborn girl, but the latter did not run away, after taking the meat bun, before Xu Fengnian finished saying "eat slowly, be careful of burning", she had already bitten down quickly, Immediately, he was so hot that his whole body shuddered, and Xu Fengnian gasped when he saw it. He didn't talk nonsense, but he just held back his heartache, and quickly turned away from looking at it.
Sure enough, only when he turned around did the little girl hold most of the meat bun, stick out her tongue, and fan the wind vigorously with her small hands.
The corner of Zhao Yousong's mouth twitched as he watched, wondering if this little Heitan was hungry, or was he a little careless
Xu Nianliang, who had long been used to watching all directions and listening to all directions, soon widened his eyes, glared at Zhao Yousong, and raised his small fist at him again.
Xu Fengnian reached out and touched her little head, "Don't be so rude."
The little girl turned her head fiercely, tilted her head and blew hard on the heat and aroma from the meat bun. After waiting for a while, she held the bun with both hands, took two mouthfuls and three mouthfuls, and she finished it in an instant.
real man!
Zhao Yousong rolled his eyes, I can't afford to offend him.
Xu Fengnian handed over another meat bun, then knelt down to help her wipe off the oil splashed on her clothes.
After Zhao Yousong saw this scene, he was a little envious, and suddenly a little sad. He turned his head and wiped his face quietly.
Xu Nianliang rolled his eyes even more when he saw the stupid goose's inexplicable behavior.
Although Xu Fengnian didn't turn his head, but understood the general reason, he said softly to his daughter: "Little Sweet Potato, don't do this."
Xiao Heitan, who had a long and narrow wooden knife hanging from his waist, turned his head fiercely again.
Xu Fengnian sighed and stood up.
When he turned around, he saw that kind and gentle woman, Xu Qing.
She was a little panting, a little shy, but also a little looking forward and joyful.
She didn't speak, but those clean and clear eyes seemed to be speaking.
Zhao Yousong first blinked at the little girl of the great hero, then broke the silence and said, "Uncle Xu, my mother just opened a small cloth shop in the market, why don't you go and have a look?"
Xu Fengnian hesitated, turned his head to look at Little Sweet Potato, and was about to decline politely.
Xu Qing, the little girl who had personally embroidered python robes at the Golden Thread Weaving Bureau, came directly to Little Sweet Potato for some reason, knelt down and picked up the little girl. She stood up, and then quietly looked at Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian felt a little funny when he saw the little sweet potato who was in a hurry but didn't struggle too much, so he nodded.
Zhao Yousong and his childhood sweetheart lead the way.
Xu Qing asked softly: "Little girl, what's your name?"
The little Heitan-like child burst into tears, "My name is Xu Nianliang!"
Xu Qing said softly: "Well, it looks like your father."
Little Sweet Potato shook his head while wiping away tears, "I'm not like him! I'm just like my mother!"
Xu Fengnian wondered why the little sweet potato was so close to Xu Qing.
Probably Xu Qing's unique tenderness from the bottom of his heart made this lonely and helpless child feel nostalgic. And this extremely sensitive child has an inexplicable talent for distinguishing the kindness and malice of outsiders.
At that moment, Xu Fengnian's eyes turned red instantly, he turned his head sideways, and exhaled lightly.
On the way to the south, Xu Fengnian suffered a lot.
If she has the slightest interest in chatting.
"Xu! How many women do you have in Beiliang?"
"I… "
"Oh, so hesitant, that's a lot?! Tsk tsk, amazing, you deserve to be the King of Beiliang!"
"..."
If she is in a particularly bad mood.
"The surname is Xu!"
"Um?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you into a big pig's head with a wooden knife?!"
"Father believes it."
"You don't believe it at all!"
Crackling, that is, dozens of wooden knives.
He doesn't hide.
If she is in a slightly better mood.
"Hey, is the Qingliang Mountain you mentioned, as big as my two?"
"Yes, it needs to be bigger."
"you're lying!"
It was another meal of wooden knives.
But less than when she was angry.
If it is a rare time for her to be in a good mood.
"Hello, Xu Fengnian. Jiangnan is a place further south than Beiliang?"
"Um."
"Then have you ever seen the sea? It's just big, big water."
"I've seen it, but I've only seen the East China Sea. I haven't been to the South China Sea. Let's go together in the future?"
"I'll go alone!"
"Then you have to wait until you are older, otherwise Dad won't worry."
Then Xu Fengnian was beaten again.
Only when she is in the best mood, the little sweet potato will ride on her father's neck, put her little chin on her father's head, and say nothing, just sniff her nose lightly, but don't cry speak out.
Occasionally, when the two of them took a break midway, Little Sweet Potato would look north alone, dazed in a daze.
At that time, the man was either standing beside her or sitting behind her, silent and afraid to speak.
The only time Little Sweet Potato raised the corners of his mouth.
It was on their way home at the border of Longyao Prefecture that they encountered a Beiliang frontier army heading north and wanted to drive straight into the Beiting Grassland with 6,000 Xu family cavalry!
With her on his back, he stopped.
She offered to ride on his neck, her eyes wide open, her face full of curiosity, she stared hard at the strange cavalry.
Six thousand iron cavalrymen from the frontier army got off their horses at the same time. After seeing the little girl riding on the neck of the young feudal lord, everyone was excited. Said: "I am the Beiliang Right Cavalry Army! Welcome Your Royal Highness back home!"
Six thousand people clasped their fists together and shouted loudly: "Beiliang Right Cavalry Army! Welcome Your Royal Highness back home!"
According to the laws of Liyang, all the daughters of vassal kings are only princesses.
But Beiliang iron cavalry has been invincible for twenty years! Have you ever cared about the opinions of the Central Plains court? !
After that, Little Sweet Potato seldom spoke.
Until entering Daomaguan at the border of Youzhou.
When we arrived at the small cloth shop at the corner of the market, perhaps Xu Qing was in a hurry and didn't even close the shop door. He had already waited for a lot of customers, and the business was obviously good. Continue to return to the pass, with more people and more military pay, the business will naturally improve. There are seven or eight people, men and women, in the small shop, which is a bit crowded, but I believe that most of those men buy cloth very second.
Xu Fengnian said to Xu Qing empathetically, "You go ahead and don't get in the way."
After Xu Qing put the little sweet potato down, he bent down and rubbed her little head, Xu Qing frowned, and said softly: "Xiao Liang, can you pick a piece of cloth yourself, I'll make you a beautiful dress later. You are so tanned, so you can't choose a color that is too fancy."
The little girl made a grimace, and skipped to choose the fabric. She was not polite at all, and suddenly remembered, and said to the woman who was walking towards the counter: "I will let the surname Xu pay for it!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded.
But Xu Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "This time I will send it to you first, but next time I want it, I have to pay."
Little Sweet Potato thought for a while, then glanced at Xu Fengnian who was sitting on the threshold, the child did not refuse.
Probably because of Xu Fengnian's sudden birth, the male customers left quickly, but the women and girls were more and more reluctant to leave. During this period, the little girl Xu Qing and the little sweet potato looked at each other with mutual understanding.
At that time, before Little Sweet Potato touched the fabrics, he wiped his sleeves vigorously with his two little hands.
Xu Fengnian sat alone on the threshold, propping his chin with one hand, always looking at the child with a peaceful expression and warm eyes.
After finally waiting for all the guests to leave, Xiao Digua sighed, spread his hands, and said helplessly to Xu Qing: "I don't like anyone."
Xu Qing let out an oh, then walked out of the counter, went to the cloth shelf to pick and choose, and finally picked up a piece of elegant floral fabric, turned around and smiled at the little girl: "Then I will send it to you casually." This piece of cloth, huh?"
Little Sweet Potato blushed a little.
Xu Fengnian stood up and said softly, "The money is enough."
Little Sweet Potato waved his hand, "Okay!"
Xu Qing glanced at the sky outside the door. At dusk, he looked at Xu Fengnian who seemed to be leaving after paying, and said softly, "Shall we leave after eating?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head, "Forget it."
Little Sweet Potato suddenly asked: "Do you have fried cicadas? The crunchy ones!"
Xu Qing shook his head.
The little scholar Zhao Yousong patted his forehead, it turned out to be a heroine!
Little Sweet Potato asked again, "Is there any rice? It's a big bowl!"
Xu Qing nodded slightly.
Little Sweet Potato then patted his stomach, "Eat and drink enough before going on the road!"
After closing the store door, Zhao Yousong wanted to take the little girl home first, so Xu Qing led the little sweet potato home, and Xu Fengnian could only stand obediently on the other side of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing asked, "Did your father give you the wooden knife?"
Little Sweet Potato patted the long and narrow wooden knife lightly, and said coldly, "No, I made it myself!"
The child quickly added, "I made it for myself! It's not a gift!"
When they arrived at the small courtyard, Xu Qing took the little girl to busy dinner together, probably because the latter was willing to stay with her father at all.
Xu Fengnian was sitting on a small stool in the yard, looking up at the sunset in the sky without taking his eyes off it.
Zhao Yousong quickly ran home, and then was in a daze with Xu Fengnian.
When calling them to eat, one big and one small, Zhao Yousong found that little Heitan seemed to have cried, so pitiful.
After sitting at the small table with rich dishes, Zhao Yousong soon discovered that the girl was eating rice with a big mouthful, chopsticks flying like flying, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Xu Fengnian didn't speak either, but Xu Qing asked the little girl to eat slowly from time to time, so don't worry.
When the little sweet potato was full, Xu Fengnian actually only moved a few chopsticks.
For some reason, the little girl seemed to loosen the tight strings suddenly, and then she was obviously out of spirits, so she almost reluctantly lay on Xu Fenghou's back, closed her eyes and fell asleep, snoring slightly.
Xu Qing immediately covered her mouth, not to disturb that poor child.
Just now they were preparing dinner together, although the name Xu Nianliang didn't say much, but talking about the past events that those children thought were very interesting made Xu Qing feel extremely sad.
Although she has never read a book, the truth in the world is the same. She is a woman who has survived the day, and she probably knows that men and women in the world, when they grow up, they have no way to complain about how hard they suffer, but a How can such a young child find it interesting and joyful to talk about those things
She looked at the backs of the big and small two who walked out of the room gently, and she was a little angry at him for the first time because of her weak temper: "Can't you let the child sleep on the bed?!"
At that moment, the man stopped suddenly.
Zhao Yousong was at a loss and was a little scared.
Finally, Xu Fengnian turned around and went back to the house, handing the little sweet potato to Xu Qing gently.
She carried the child to her own room, covered the child with a quilt, stood at the door and said softly, "You sleep in Yousong's room at night."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "No, I'll go to the yard."
She hesitated to speak, and finally just turned around silently and went to sit by the bed.
Xu Fengnian sat in the yard, Zhao Yousong lowered his voice and chatted with him for a while, then said that he was going to do the homework left by Mr. Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian was young
