a lifetime

Chapter Sixteen

Wartime (Etsubu Erhua)

When Echizen rushed to the valley, Birch arrived first.

From a distance, he saw Huadi leaping onto the high platform and going into the bamboo house.

The bamboo house is simply furnished, but it is full of paintings. He stepped into the inner room, and saw that Buer was sleeping soundly with his quilt in his arms.Sensing someone approaching, he rubbed his eyes and sat up, but still refused to open it, and leaned sideways, as if waiting for someone to embrace him.

However, when he was leaning on the visitor's shoulder, he was suddenly startled, quickly opened his eyes, looked at the visitor in disbelief for a long time, and then smiled, and hugged the visitor again.He called happily: "Huadi."

Huadi let him hold her, and looked at him, her eyes were still clear, but much thicker, this time when she saw Bu Er her expression was still dull, but her eyes also had a radiance.

He has been looking for Buer for four months now.He found that at this moment, he was in a good mood.

It seems that someone came in and brought a gust of wind.

"Echizen?" Buer tried to call out, stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand to gesture, and said with a smile: "When did Echizen grow so tall?"

Echizen's originally joyful complexion suddenly sank, he stared fixedly at Fuji for a long time, remembering the painting hanging in the house that he saw just now, it was better that it was the painting of Guanchu, and he pressed down the joy of seeing Fuji, Asked in a low voice: "How much has Senior Fuji forgotten?"

But seeing Fuji smiled, he didn't seem to care at all: "Hey, Echizen is really sharp, um, a little over two years."

"Then, Guanyue..." Echizen asked hesitantly and cautiously, but Fuer answered calmly and blissfully.

"Hey, it turns out that Echizen knew Xiaochu, did you see Xiaochu when Echizen came here? Is he outside?" While talking, he went outside, but he looked inside and outside the house and did not see the audience. shadow of the moon.

I was a little anxious in my heart, but still smiled apologetically to Echizen: "Hey, I'm sorry, Xiao Chu may have gone shopping in the city. Echizen, sit down for a while, and I'll make you some tea."

Seeing his change, Echizen felt alienated and polite to himself, which made him feel bad.I had no choice but to let him be busy, standing by the side and watching straight.

Huadi, however, was the same as before, and helped him carry a bucket of water and burn firewood for him.When the water boiled, he poured the water into the bamboo tube where the tea leaves were placed, and pondered it several times.

Then he handed it to Echizen, and happily said: "Hey, Echizen, try it, Xiaochu and I picked the tea by ourselves."

Echizen responded, and followed him outside. Only then did he take a serious look at the valley, it was indeed a paradise.

The three of them sat on the board drinking tea, Echizen was worried but didn't dare to ask easily, so he kept silent.It's been a long time since Guanyue came back, feeling uneasy and silent.

There was a moment of silence.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and Buer couldn't sit still, and murmured that Xiao Chu was really serious, and he didn't say a word when he went out.

"Why is Senior Fuji and Guanyue here?" Echizen probably guessed that the note was sent by Guanyue, so Guanyue would not come back, but he couldn't figure out the current Buer. Pay more attention, so I have to chat first to understand the situation.

"I'm waiting here for sister Yumiko and Yuta to reunite." After a pause, I suddenly remembered that I was too brainless, and added: "Hey, Xiaochu accompanied me to seek medical treatment after losing my memory, and I happened to be here. I made an appointment to meet Yumiko's sister Yuta. I stayed here. Then why is Echizen here?"

Echizen Shindao was like this, and continued: "Passing by. Senior Fuji and Guanyue... Are you close?" Still asked an obvious question.

"Hehe, Echizen is really sharp, just as Echizen saw, Xiaochu and I are lovers."

"Oh, senior is really far behind." Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Echizen lowered his head slightly.

Unexpectedly, Buer suddenly coughed for a while, although there was still a smile in the corner of his eyes, his face was very pale.

"Senior Bu Er." He hurriedly asked for help.

"Fuer." But Huadi supported him one step ahead, and called out in a low voice along Buer's back.

"Is Fuji-senpai seriously ill?" Echizen sat back on the wooden plank, but still looked at Fuji with worried eyes.He was originally curious about why Guanyue gave up suddenly, but now he guessed a little bit. He was afraid that Fuji was seriously ill, so serious that Guanyue was willing to give up, and that he had to restore his memory to get better?

Bu Er looked up at him, smiled slightly, and wanted to say it was okay, but before he could make a sound, he coughed again, coughing up blood.

Echizen hurriedly wiped him clean with his sleeve.After waiting for a while, Bu Er hurriedly said: "Senior Fuji, let's go to Ganglan, Senior Qian is there, he will definitely heal you."

But Fuji smiled and shook his head: "No need, Xiaochu and I will go to find a poison doctor when my sister and Yuta come, don't worry about Echizen."

After saying that, he sat up straight, smiled apologetically, closed his eyes and began to exercise energy and adjust his breath.

After a long silence, Echizen finally lowered his voice and said, "Senior Fuji, Sister Yumiko won't be coming, and Guanyue won't be coming back either."

"What nonsense is Echizen talking about?" Fuji paused, then smiled, and ignored it.

Echizen looked straight into Fuji's blue eyes, and repeated repeatedly: "Senior Fuji, sister Yumiko won't be coming, and Guanyue won't be coming back either."

Fuji was also angry, and shouted sharply: "Echizen!" Realizing that he had gone too far, he softened his voice and said, "Why does Echizen say that?" It was the patient tone of an older brother doting on his younger brother.

Echizen ignored him, and replied firmly: "When Senior Fuji is cured and his memory is restored, he will naturally know why."

"Hehe, what did Echizen use to convince me to trust you?"

"When does the senior think Guanyue will come back?" Echizen looked into Fuji's eyes and asked back, very strong and unquestionable.

"Of course I'll be back in a while." Fuji said with a smile, but he was not very confident.

"Well, let's bet today. If Guanyue doesn't come back today, Senior Fuji will follow me."

Bu Er paused, nodded and said good.

However, the sun set, the night was late, and Guanyue did not come back.

Bu Er still insisted on waiting, so the three of them waited for several days.

Guan Yue never came back.

Fuji's body is getting worse and worse, and his memory has become confused.Finally one day, he tore up all the paintings of watching the moon in the bamboo house, and left without hesitation.

However, the journey was not smooth, with repeated nightmares and confused memories. One day he rushed to Ganglan, and the other day he tried to return to the valley. Day and night to catch up.

When it arrived at Yishou, it was dusk, Chidan's troops approached the city, and they stormed for two full days, the city was full of dead and wounded, blood flowed like a river, but Chidan still followed suit like a mad dog.

Qianli's army stood firm in blood, causing countless casualties.

After working here for two months, even though Chidan was resisted in Yishou, it was considered safe after Yishou.It's just that the victory or defeat of this battle is still unpredictable. If it loses, Gang Lan is afraid that it will be over.

Therefore, even if the last soldier dies in the battle, the gate of Yishou City must be blocked with the corpses of a hundred thousand troops, and it must not be opened.

The two of them rushed all the way to the city tower, seeing soldiers rush up one after another, fall down one after another, and replace one after another. Four or five thick logs were laid across the city gate, and hundreds of people resisted desperately. , but it is still crumbling, opening little by little cracks.

They hurriedly flew onto the tower, and the swords and swords on the wall launched a bloody attack and defense ten miles long. Qian held the sword high and stood on the tower, constantly conveying new orders to the left and right.

Unexpectedly, a sharp arrow shot towards him, and he barely blocked it, but in the next moment, the attendants around him rescued him with their lives, but he couldn't leave for half a step, because he was there, the army was there, the morale was there, and the chance of victory was there.

With a whoosh, another arrow came from another direction. He subconsciously blocked it with his sword, but was broken by two slender fingers an inch in front of his eyes. He slapped the visitor heavily on the shoulder and shouted: "No two!"

Bu Er gave him a comforting smile, motioned him to look down the city, the sword pierced the chest of the archer hidden in the crowd, grabbed the bow and arrow and shot several arrows, the archers hidden in different directions hit the ground one after another, Hundreds of Chidan soldiers who had reacted immediately besieged them, flying forward and sweeping with swords, defeating the wave after wave of Chidan soldiers.On the other side, Huadi swept wildly with his bare hands, falling down and rushing up in waves.

Enemies come and go, even though the two are fighting one hundred, they are still fighting hard.

Seeing this, the thousands of soldiers in the city screamed under Haitang's stern roar, and fought harder, their morale was immediately boosted.

Standing on the city wall, Buer turned his head and nodded slightly to Gan, then flew down the city wall.

Immediately after a sound of "kill" resounded through the sky, the gate of the city opened, and thousands of soldiers rushed out. Immediately, the two armies met hand to hand, entangled under the city tower, and the sky was full of blood.

The war was finally won, and Chidan was forced to retreat to Xili.Xili belongs to Ganglan, and it is the largest and most prosperous of the small towns captured by Chidan. Now it has fallen into Chidan's hands, and the people are miserable.Therefore, although Yishou has been defended, the situation is not optimistic. What's more, the casualties in the battle of Yishou are staggering. If you want to recover your vitality, you may have a long way to go to save your compatriots.

Fortunately, Chidan was also seriously injured, so he had to buy time.

The Ganglan defenders need to be supplemented and rectified from top to bottom to regain their strength.Fortunately, the defeat of the enemy boosted the army's prestige, and the imperial court sent another [-] soldiers. Sooner or later, the Ganglan defenders will show off our country's prestige and drive Chidan out of Ganglan.

Two months later, the imperial court issued a decree, and the commander of the garrison was replaced by Shusuke Fuji, with Echizen Ryoma and Takamune Huachi as the vanguard generals.

Because Echizen Huadi had been training in the army in the past two months, and Fuji helped implement the new policy that benefited the people and the army. In addition, Kan also intended to make Fuji a commander, and even defeated Chidan before, the credit is undeniable. Two or three people, so this will is also regarded as the desire of the army and the hope of the people.

In the past two months, except for Xiaoshu's sneaking in, there has been no movement in Chidan, so after Yishou, the people's life can be regarded as peaceful and peaceful. Although they are afraid in their hearts, they still live in peace. Life and death, a little sad.

At the turn of spring and summer, an urgent message came from Kyushu, Oishi was seriously injured, and Tezuka was also plotted against, so Qian and Haitang were called back.

Seeing that there is no serious problem, Gan then resigned with confidence.

Kirihara is in charge of transporting food and sending letters. Today, he brought a letter written by Yukimura and Fuji and the situation of the border battle. Although the generals and soldiers of the Northeast Kyushu were greatly injured, they guarded the entire border and faced a stalemate with Beibang across the Black Mountain Dam. with.

Two cities were lost in Nishimaru in the Northwest, traitors were caught, the soldiers who were traveling were besieged, heavy casualties were suffered, and a batch of food was lost.Fortunately, two months ago, I joined the military division Guanyue, and a few days ago, I joined the general Qianshi to stabilize Nishimaru.

In the north of Mengxi, Sanada was guarding, although they blocked Agou and the Northern Confederate Army, they could not repel them.

However, even so, the country is not concentric. Although the waterlogging disaster has been resolved, it is speculative to disturb the safety of the people. The Sitianbao Temple needs to be safe and the people have no time to help, so they can only send Yuanshan and others to Mengxi to help.

After this, Gang Lan was the most peaceful, but it was obvious that a storm was about to come.

A sigh.

Standing on the city tower with his hands behind his back, Buer looked west, and saw a vast expanse of green grass. After the spring rain, it grew taller and lush, but I don’t know, on the far side of the mountain, are there people, animals or fish?

"Senior Buer, take your medicine."

Echizen, dressed in a blue long gown, came upstairs with a medicine bowl in his hand, stood in front of Fuji, and passed the medicine over.

Bu Er stretched out his hand to take it, frowned, thinking that this life might be endless.With a sigh, he still raised his head and drank it all. "Let's go." Holding the empty bowl in his right hand, he raised his step and wanted to go back with Echizen, but Echizen took the bowl away, and replied: "Let's go." He just walked away.

Looking at Echizen's back, Fuji was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved, laughing in his heart that this child has really grown up.

Stepping up to follow, the two walked down the city side by side.

Huadi still followed Fuji and walked down together.

In the eastern sky, the sun is rising gradually.

The author has something to say:

Uh...Xiaobai is so confused, dear Fuji.

Echizen: (Slashing with a sword) All messy people should stay away from Senior Fuji.

Uh... why is Xiao Yueqian so angry, Xiao Bai is not watching the moon...
