"Brother Lin, for such a big happy event, didn't you write a letter to your family to let them be happy too?"

"..."

Lin Huaian paused after hearing this.

Suddenly, some of the wine in the wine bowl in his hand spilled out.

The soldiers beside him saw the uneasiness in his eyes.

"Brother Lin... could it be that someone in your family..."

I hesitated for a long time but still couldn't say the following words.

But Lin Huaian suddenly recovered and said, "There is an old man, an unmarried daughter, and two sons aged seven or eight at home. Sigh... It's been almost a year... I wonder if they are doing well now?"

Although he was worried in his heart, he changed his mind and thought that his father would not just leave his children alone.

Although life would not be as good as he had at home, it would not let the children go hungry.

I just don’t know if my father and the children will not be able to withstand the blow and whether their bodies can handle it without any news from them.

It was his fault for being careless. If it weren't for the reminder from his brother, he probably wouldn't have thought of this.

"Brother Lin is really lucky. These children are your support for the rest of your life. Unlike me, I am alone. I didn't even have a wife when I was young, and now I have unknowingly reached such an awkward age of over 30."

The soldier beside him thought of himself and became more and more melancholy as he spoke. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in front of Lin Huaian.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaian silently patted the other person's shoulder to show his comfort.

Thinking about what this person had just said, he felt very relieved for a moment. These children really satisfied him every single one of them.

It is indeed time to write a letter home.

Thinking of this, he stood up silently, walked to his son who was not far away, and explained clearly what he was going to write to his family.

Then, he turned and walked towards the river not far away. His mind was in a mess for a moment, and he wanted to go there and relax alone.

But as he walked, before he got close, he saw a lonely fire on the river bank not far away, and he could vaguely see a person sitting quietly beside the fire.

Lin Huaian didn't think too much and didn't stop until he got up to the fire. He found that the person sitting next to the fire was not someone else, but their General of Cavalry, the son of Marquis Jingyuan - Xiao Jue.

Their eyes met, Lin Huaian bowed apologetically, turned around and wanted to leave.

But before he could take a step forward, Xiao Jue stopped him in a deep voice: "Don't leave yet... Come and sit with me for a while..."

The fire beside me was burning brightly.

The night wind was very cold, blowing on his face and making his heart feel cold.

No matter how hot the fire is, it can't keep warm.

Lin Huaian did not refuse and slowly sat down beside the fire opposite Xiao Jue.

Without even looking closely, he could already sense the peculiarity in the General of Cavalry's eyes.

The general was probably feeling the same as him at this moment, with something on his mind.

But at the moment, he was more concerned about another thing: "May I ask, General, if I write a letter to Xinghua Village in Yaohe Town right now, I wonder how long it will take for my family to receive my news?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three words "Xinghua Village" were like a raised drumstick.

Fall hard!

"Are you from Xinghua Village in Yaohe Town?"

Xiao Jue was confused and stood there in a daze.

"Yes...that's right." Lin Huaian was a little suspicious of this question. He thought about it and answered solemnly.

"Is your surname Lin?"

Xiao Jue tried hard to recall and finally remembered the father and son named Lin.

However, this time Lin Huaian did not speak, but just nodded heavily.

"How many families with the surname Lin are there in Xinghua Village?"

This question made Lin Huaian look puzzled.

But he thought about it and replied, "My father moved to Xinghua Village when he was in his twenties. However, the Lin family has only one son for three generations, and I am the only son born in my generation.

So… among the thirty or so households in Xinghua Village, we are the only family with the surname Lin.”

"Only one!"

Hear this.

The blood in Xiao Jue's body was boiling!

He suddenly took out a purse from his pocket, looked into Lin Huaian's eyes, and confirmed word by word:

"Then do you recognize...Lin Acai?"

Lin Huaian blurted out: "That's my daughter."

In an instant, the hand that was tightly holding the purse suddenly relaxed slowly, and a sneering face appeared, as if he was looking for something around him, at a loss as to what to do.

"..."

What the hell is this?

However, seeing this situation, Lin Huaian became even more confused.

He thought to himself, his daughter had never been away from home far, so how could he, the son of General Jingyuan and Marquis of the Cavalry, know his daughter?

There must be some hidden secret here.

Could it be that something happened during the months he disappeared?

Fortunately, this confusion did not bother him for too long, as Xiao Jue cleared up the confusion for him and explained the whole story.

Then, he looked at Lin Huaian with a look of relief and called him uncle.

"Uncle, this must be destined by God. I am destined to be with your Lin family and Miss Lin. I never thought that we would meet each other here in this way."

When Xiao Jue said the three words "Miss Lin", his eyes were instantly filled with tenderness.

Too obvious.

Even though Lin Huaian suppressed his emotions and tried not to think about it, he could clearly feel that the general might have already secretly developed feelings for his daughter and had different thoughts about her.

At this moment, he didn't know what to feel in his heart, it was a mixture of various emotions.

On the one hand, he thought that the fact that his daughter was favored by such a talented person showed that his daughter was indeed very outstanding.

But then he thought again, the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion was such a noble family, while his daughter and he were both born in a mountain village, unknown, powerless and without influence.

How can I afford it???

As he was thinking this, Lin Huaian couldn't help but pick up the wooden stick beside him and poked the burning firewood.

He lowered his head in self-mockery, not looking into the eyes of the General of Cavalry.

The General of Cavalry suddenly became interested. He had lowered his head and looked sad just now, but he was completely a different person now.

His eyes were illuminated by the firelight, and he looked at the river in the distance, and couldn't wait to speak again: "Uncle... After the letter is written, send it directly to Bai Jing, and I will send someone to deliver it to Xinghua Village in person.

Oh, by the way, let me ask Miss Lin where she is now and whether she is safe and sound.

Almost naturally, the conversation turned directly to Lin Acai.

Xiao Jue didn't expect that the person he had been looking for for several days would suddenly have a turning point.

He didn't believe that her family would be unable to find her just like him.

As long as we help him find his Ah Cai, everything will be hopeful.

Thinking of this, Lin Acai's every frown and smile appeared in his mind.

There was a sudden tenderness in his eyes.

Looking at the ripples on the river in the distance, the ice in his heart was slowly melting...
