Uncle Jinwu Zangyi

More than a year has passed, and Xiao Kan has been away from Heiyao Village for almost two years.

Xiao Kan didn't know about these things. The highly respected Liu Wuye in Zhaili died of a stroke, and Liu Zhijie went down the mountain with Li Shaoyou to do business, specializing in foreign transactions.

The southwestern border was disturbed by foreign enemies more and more frequently, and the number of refugees was increasing. Heiyao village had nearly a hundred more people within a year.

With Song Yu's support, a private school was set up in the village, taught by Xiao Ling, Li Tingfang and others.

Guan Yao went down the mountain again recently, following the disappeared child Zhao Linjiang, but within a few days, Zhao Linjiang came back dejectedly.

Song Yu often took people down the mountain to catch those who were dying, or went to places with illnesses and disorderly parties to do charity.

After getting busy, Song Yu would not feel that the time was too long when facing the empty Qingyu case.

And Xiao Kan, who is far away in the borderlands, has grown into a resolute appearance.

The war dragged on for more than a year. Under the joint efforts of him and King Qi, they not only regained the first level that the prince lost, but also won many victories.

Today is the seventh day of July again. After a great battle, Xiao Kan felt exhausted. He took two jugs of wine and went to the open space outside the camp.

The territory of Xinjiang is not as good as that of the Central Plains, and it is a bit cold at night. Xiao Kan took two mouthfuls of soju to feel warmer.

"It's sad, autumn is the air, and the grass and trees are shaking and decaying..." Xiao Kan said to himself.

Then, a voice came from behind: "It's not yet autumn, why are you reciting Song Ziyuan's poems?"

Xiao Kan knew it was Chusi, the King of Qi, without looking back. He shook the wine jar in his hand, "The land has been empty and cool for three seasons and hasn't seen a new color. When is it not autumn?"

"Well, what General Xiao said is very true." Chu Si sat down next to the other party, and raised a jar of wine on his own, taking a sip.

Looking at the boundless desert and the dots of stars, Xiao Kan sighed and asked, "Is there any news about my letter from home?"

"I also hope to give you good news." Chu Si said helplessly, "Yuanzhong strengthened the defense line outside the border last month. Let alone a letter from the family, it is hard for the living."

The light in Xiao Kan's heart dimmed, and he said lightly, "It's been almost two years..."

"Yeah, hold on a little longer, it's almost closed." Chu Si lay back and stared at the sky in a daze, "Yesterday was the memorial day for my wife's body."

Xiao Kan was stunned, he only remembered that Chu Si often talked about how good his wife was, but he had never heard of this.

Seeing the puzzled look on the other party's face, Chu Si didn't intend to hide anything. He and Xiao Kan have been through life and death for nearly two years, and the two have already become close friends.

"Before I came here, my wife was going to give birth in a few months. I thought I would be able to recover the mark in a year, but she didn't wait for me to go back. Now I only have one son left."

Chu Si spoke lightly, but his words were full of regret.

"Difficult, difficult labor?" Xiao Kan couldn't believe it.

Chu Si shook his head, his face frosty: "My emperor's brother died here, and he has not left any heirs. He just entered the coffin, and I was pushed here. You can also understand how the child in my wife's womb is. It's special."

The emperor's family affairs have always been like this, Xiao Kan swallowed a sigh of relief, "Understood."

"My emperor brother was brave and good at fighting, but he died here. There are so many elite officials in the army, but the ministers of the court tried their best to let a mediocre person like me come here. Anyone can see that I am not valued."

"But my wife has the blood of the surname Chu, which is a great trouble for those who are eyeing the crown prince. However, it is indeed my incompetence."

"Not long after I left Fujing, my wife was killed, but the child was saved."

Chu Si spoke in one go, as if he was proficient in saying it countless times in his heart, but he just lacked a chance to confide.

"My condolences." Xiao Kan felt frightened, unable to find words of comfort.

"It's nothing, the dead can't be chased, but I did miss her." When Chu Si said the word 'she', he obviously choked up.

Xiao Kan didn't speak, and took another sip of wine.

"Jingyun, I've never heard you mention anything, are you someone who doesn't care about you?" Chu Si cast his eyes on Xiao Kan's face.

Xiao Kan was thinking about Song Yu all the time, so he couldn't help laughing shyly, "I haven't married a wife yet."

"Oh? Then what do you look like?" Chu Si looked like a spectator.

Xiao Kan hugged the wine jar, feeling bitter and astringent in his heart, "He is waiting for me to go back."

"It's good to have someone waiting to go home." Chu Si felt a little envious, "At least it's right to be concerned."

Xiao Kan also lay down on his back, "Let's close the door at the end of the year."

"That's exactly what I mean, and we have to make a good plan. It's best to let the Xihu people not stay until the twelfth lunar month of this year." When Chu Si said this, there was a ruthlessness in his voice.

Xiao Kan calculated that by the end of this year, all the border land would be closed, and he would be able to go back in the spring.

It was agreed to go early and return early, and it would be a debt to Song Yu to procrastinate for one more day.

…………

Shu land, Baidi City.

"Major General, there is someone from Guo Wai asking to see you." A guard came in and reported.

Liang Ling, who was writing with a pen, was not distracted, "Who is it?"

"This person claims to be your old friend, surnamed Guan." The guard said.

The wolf hair in Liang Ling's hand paused at this moment, and a huge ink bead dripped onto the letter paper.

"Let him in!"

Liang Ling put down his pen, straightened his clothes and went out the door.

When Guan Yao followed the guards into the back hall, Liang Ling's eyes lit up.

"You all go down." Liang Ling waved his hand, and the maids and guards immediately withdrew from the backyard.

Guan Yao smiled, and walked towards him holding the folding fan in his hand, "You are..."

"You are finally willing to come." Liang Ling walked up to Guan Yao with a few strides.

"Well, I'll come and see you." Guan Yao tapped the opponent's heart with a folding fan.

Liang Ling grabbed the opponent's folding fan, "We haven't seen each other for half a year."

"I really want to see you." Guan Yao took a step forward, "But this world is not peaceful, and it's difficult to travel."

Liang Ling also took a step forward, sliding his hand along the top of the folding fan to the back of the opponent's hand, "You stay, we will see each other every day."

"Bringing this up again." Guan Yao shook her head slightly, "You."

Liang Ling leaned over and tapped the other person's cheek, "I'll mention it once every time I see you, until you agree."

"I'm exhausted, I want to drink some water." Guan Yao chose to change the topic directly.

Liang Ling went to sign the other hand, "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare food for you right away."

Guan Yao let the other party walk half of the mansion in front of everyone, and finished eating under the other's hot eyes.

"This is my first time here, why don't you take me to the mouth of the gorge?" Guan Yao put down his chopsticks after eating the last roll.

Liang Ling took out the cloth that he had prepared in advance, and wiped the soup stains on the other party's mouth as usual, "It's already noon, and the sun is hot, you should take a break first and get some sleep."

"Why, can't wait?" Guan Yao teased him.

"A bit."

Guan Yao took advantage of the gap when the other party wiped her mouth, and touched the back of the other party's hand with her lips.

Liang Ling felt the warmth of the opponent's breath covering the back of his hand, and swallowed involuntarily.

"Only a little?" Guan Yan smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Liang Ling's Adam's apple rolled twice again, and without saying a word, he got up and carried Guan Yao on his shoulders.

"I'm joking with you, I've just had enough to eat, I can't take it anymore." Guan Yao patted the other person on the back.

Liang Ling took great strides, "You are full, but I am hungry."
