A touch of happiness

I know why, this scene is inexplicably familiar, as if it was like this every day before this.

Xiu felt that even if he lived like this for the rest of his life, it would be fine.

The author has something to say: Rain is probably one of my dreams.

tofu

The author has something to say: the school broke the net, I don't want to talk about this.I will cry if I continue.

Perhaps the existence of flowers made Xiu feel less lonely.During the days when the weather was not completely cold enough to go out, Xiu often went to visit her in the cemetery accompanied by the rain.

Yu always had an impatient expression, but every time he obediently accompanied him.Xiu wanted to repay his tenderness, but he didn't know what to do.

Although Yu didn't like how he said repayment and thanks, no, it can be said that every time Xiu was in such distress, he would stare at him very angry.

But Xiu found one little thing that could break his elegant eating-tofu.It's hard to imagine that a hard person like Yu likes to eat soft tofu.

However, tofu is really hard to make.I poured some out of the pot containing the marinade, and then ground the soaked soybeans into soy milk, and then slowly filtered it, leaving the dregs for frying.The ordered tofu failed a few times, but fortunately, Xiu slowly figured out the way, and finally made tofu before wasting all the soy milk.

Xiu made tofu soup with tofu.Tender taste, with dried shrimp, small dried fish and a little pepper, the taste is extremely delicious.Plus a large plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, and pickled cucumbers made by Xiaochou.

"Xiu, you are very good at cooking." Does that mean it's delicious?Xiu looked at Yu who buried his whole face in the bowl, and laughed out loud.

Yu's face was a little red for some reason.But in the end, he drank all the soup.Even the bottom of the pot was swept clean.

"You don't need to wash the pot anymore." Yu looked away, too shy to even look at him.

"I, I'll clean it up." Xiu laughed when he heard this.

While the two were happily huddling together in the small kitchen to wash the dishes, a fierce flame of war ignited on the other side of Jia Daishan.

Black smoke billowed up.The blood roared into the sky in that cold moonless night.

The soldiers hid in the thick night, and a thick layer of hoarfrost covered their bodies.They were silent, watching the distance seriously, breathing shallowly among each other, and hardly felt the presence of being alive.They have their own lives, but some of them will stay in this land that does not belong to them forever, and only the soul will fly back to the garden of their homeland.

And there are also many Jiashan people whose fate has been permanently changed. People who are not in the war will never understand the meaning of leaving.

Soon it will be spring.However, it seems that this year's spread will never reach Jia Daishan again.

Because of that winter, on the last day of winter, Jia Daishan signed a contract with Abu Nahib.Even though Jia Daishan did not suffer a terrible defeat, the cowardly Jia Daishan royal family and the nobles who only cared about their own interests were afraid of waiting for Pingyuan to attack.

Jia Daishan is always very lively in the early spring, probably the first time in hundreds of years that it is so quiet that it is frightening.

The market was obviously full of people, but everyone looked sad and silent, except for the sound of transactions and chaotic footsteps, there was not even a little noise.

A deathly emptiness covers the forest firmly.

Xiu and Yu were no exception. Even though their lives were not affected, Xiu still began to consider leaving.

They are not good people, even if they have lived here for a while, even if they have begun to be nostalgic for the scenery here, but if they go to a new place, they will not be very painful.What's more, Jia Daishan was defeated, and the unequal treaty will inevitably come soon, and the burden of heavy taxes will never be those who signed the peace treaty, but the people at the bottom.

If taxes are increased, the impact on them will be disproportionately large.So Xiu has already started thinking about moving.But I didn't expect that day to come so soon.

"Xiu, do you know?" Dana and Er stood outside the door in frustration, their eyes full of loss.

"Did the new tax order come down?" Xiu had already packed most of his things, even though he didn't have much, and Yu had even less than him.

"Well, and we heard that martial law will be imposed soon. We plan to leave tomorrow with a group of people nearby." Er sighed.

"That's it, we can leave at any time." Although Er and Dana had the presence of Surprise Rain, they couldn't muster the energy to ask at this critical moment.

"Where are you planning to go?" Xiu thought for a long time, fearing that the entire forest would be affected.I don't know what happened to Ge Lulin?

"We want to go to Ender," Dana said.

"Is it the west of the forest?" Ge Lulin's direction was completely opposite.Xiu shook his head and said. "No, I want to visit Gelulin." Xiu raised his head and looked at Yu.

Rain nodded.

"Be careful on the road." Xiu said goodbye to them worriedly.

"Yu, is there somewhere you want to go?" Xiu said to Yu.

Yu slowly cooks porridge and says. "No, no."

Xiu grabbed his hand, lowered his head, and said in a somewhat nasal voice. "You can go back to where I am."

Yu suddenly stopped what she was doing, wiped her hands, then raised Xiu's face with her hands, looked at his red eye circles, and said softly. "OK."

This life is only waiting for you.

A big warm hand tightly wrapped the other cool little hand.

Rain meditated in his heart.

Hold your hand and grow old together.

A new journey

The author has something to say: I won’t give up on everyone, and everyone, don’t give up on me too, woo woo woo

Spring has finally arrived.It was still very cold in the early morning, and Xiu, who was sitting in the carriage, wrapped up his coat tightly. An unfit coat would always let some wind in.There is no way, Xiu is not good at needlework at all, but he is good at sewing and mending. If he wants to make the clothes smaller, he doesn't have that ability.

He raised his head and looked enviously at the tall Yu who was sitting on the side.Well, I will grow up too.When I grow up, I must be taller than you.

Yu smiled and patted his head, soothing his rare childishness.

"Are you hungry? Want to have breakfast?"

Because of his gentle tone, Xiu said a little shyly. "Okay. Pour me some hot water."

Yu took out her package from the crowded carriage, which contained warm food.He took out some boiled eggs, and potatoes.He took the wrapped salt from the side pocket.

The two of them ate their breakfast with salt.

A warm breakfast warms up the body.

"Are you married?" Hannah and Edson, who kindly gave them a lift, teased.

They just had their first child this year, Astra.

"Not yet." Xiu gently leaned against Yu's arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt sleepy from getting up early.

"Let's wait until we settle down." Xiu who closed his eyes and went to sleep didn't know if he heard Yu's words?

"Hopefully you'll have kids soon. If so, Astra, you'll have buddies." Aunt Hannah has voted every year since she married Edson when she was a teenager strips of cloth into the mother river.But it seems her kids are unhappy that those names never came.

Until that day Hannah looked up at the starry sky and suddenly wanted a star.So she said to Adelson. "Edson, I want a star."

"Okay." The husband who always doted on her threw the star's name into the mother river.

Then the gods sent their astra to the river.

"Thank God for my child. I think God will give you a child too." Hannah said with a smile.

"Big brother, big brother..." Astra grinned, revealing her dark mouth with missing front teeth.

"Child?" Yu, who had always been silent, actually laughed in front of everyone other than Xiu.

Hannah stared at him blankly. "You look very pretty when you smile. You should smile often."

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful..." Astra waved her little hand, happily entertaining herself, revealing two shallow dimples.

But Yu put away his smile and said lightly. "Is that so?"

But the child who pretended to be asleep snickered.In fact, I often watch it.

The rickety carriage, leaning on the broad chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of the heart, surrounded by the smell that only belongs to rain, made him slowly fall into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Who is it?"

A loud shout woke Xiu up.

Yu put him down and grabbed his long sword with his right hand. "Be careful and hide." Xiu looked at him worriedly.

Yu just touched his head reassuringly, and went out carefully.

Hannah hugged Astra tightly in her arms in fear, but when Astra struggled in pain, she calmed down instead.

"It's okay, Astra, mom is here. Don't be afraid, mom is here, it's okay." She wrapped the child tightly in a cloth, covering even the small face, leaving only a pair of bright blue eyes, shining brightly. Bright as the stars in the sky.

Xiu protected them inside and held his dagger in his hand.After several days of training in the rain, Xiu is completely different from before, at least he won't be defeated by such a stupid blow.

But the carriage soon started again.

At first, Xiu thought that the carriage had been hijacked, but soon Edson's driving sound could be heard from the driver's seat.

But the sound of rain was not heard for a long time, and the sound of fighting still did not stop. "Where's the rain? Where's the rain?" Xiu's heart trembled.

He opened the door impulsively,
