General Xu felt that since he was a man, he had to do what he said, and he said that the family and the country were the most important thing, so he stopped talking about personal relationships with his children.Since it was inconvenient for Brother Xu to take Daman with him, he adopted him as his son, which could not only relieve Brother Xu's concerns, but also allow his father to embrace his grandson earlier. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

But Xu Jingyan felt that Brother Xu didn't seem to agree, and he always had a long talk with him when he had time these few days.

He thought that Zhao Xu said this on a whim, but he had already made up his mind not to marry in this life, so he took advantage of this opportunity to adopt Daman, which was also an explanation to his father.

General Xu felt that he had to prove it with actions, so he took Damanman around the barracks very actively, and replied that this was his adopted son when asked by anyone.

Ever since, within half a day, the entire barracks knew that General Xu, who was under seventeen years old, had adopted a adopted son who was seven or eight years old.

When Daman knew that Xu Jingyan was going to adopt him, the child, who was too stable for his age, respectfully bowed to General Xu and called him 'Father'.

Xu Jingyan was not used to such grandeur, so he directly picked up the child, smirked and spun around a few times, and since then, candied haws and cold balls and star anise cakes have been kept coming every day.Daman never refuses anyone who comes, as long as Xu Jingyan gives him, he eats everything, so that Xu Jingyan doesn't know what he likes to eat, so he can only buy it in different ways.

Sometimes Zhao Xu came to visit their tents, and he often saw the older and younger couples sitting and eating snacks, or studying.They seemed to be in harmony, and it was hard for them to say more, so they stopped asking.

Xu Jingyan felt that since having a son, his mentality has changed.

In the future, I need to be more stable and not to be rash and frivolous again.Although Daman is not of his own blood, he must be hurt as a flesh and blood. He entered his Xu family, and it is not good to call him by his previous name.

Xu Jingyan tentatively asked the child if he would like to follow his surname, but Daman directly agreed.

"Ah, that's great." Xu Jingyan rubbed the top of the boy's head, smiled idiotically, and then thought about it, "What's your name?"

"Zhao." Daman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "My mother named me 'Zhao'"

Although Ashina Daman's mother was Han Chinese, she believed in Manichaeism because she had lived in the Western Regions for a long time.Daman has been obsessed with it since he was a child, and follows his mother to become a vegetarian and fast.His mother thought her son was born a believer in the prophets, but Daman didn't believe in these teachings and just wanted to make her happy.

Daman always remembered the teachings his mother said to herself the night before she committed suicide when the city was broken—Holy fire shines, Holy light shines, all my disciples work together.

She said, my son was born intelligent, so he changed his name to Zhao from now on, to return my son to the bright world.

"Xu Zhao? Let's decide that, the name is nice too."

Xu Jingyan didn't know the meaning behind this, but felt that he was a little sad, so he blew on the lamp, and suddenly picked up the child by the waist as if playing a prank, and carefully put him into the bed.

"Can Dad tell you a story?"

"Ah."

"Then let me tell you, I'm going to sleep with my eyes closed after the lecture. Tomorrow we'll go to the market in the city and get up early." Xu Jingyan has practiced martial arts for many years, and it doesn't affect him in the dark. Under the quilt, he said: "By the way, the land fell to the southeast that day. There is Gusu City in the southeast. Changmen in the city is the most wealthy and romantic place in the world. There is a Shili Street outside this Changmen, and there is a Renqing Lane, there is an ancient temple in the alley. There is an old monk in the temple, and the old monk is telling a story to the young monk. What is he telling? It is said that it was that day, the land fell to the southeast, and there is Gusu City in the southeast. Changmen in the city is the most wealthy and romantic place in the world. There is Shili Street outside Changmen, Renqing Lane in the street, and an ancient temple in the lane. There is an old monk in the temple. Monks tell stories, what are they talking about? Let me think about it... I seem to have lost my memory."

"That day the earth fell to the southeast." Xu Zhao replied.

"Oh, that's right. On that day, the land fell to the southeast. There is Gusu City in the southeast. Changmen in the city is the most wealthy and romantic place in the world. There is Shili Street outside Changmen, and Renqing is located inside the street. Alley, there is an ancient temple in the alley..."

I don't know how many times I said it, the young man's clear voice gradually became weaker.Xu Zhao waited quietly for a long time and didn't hear the following, but when he tilted his head, Xu Jingyan told himself to sleep.

Xu Zhao got up carefully, tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and slowly closed his eyes.

But General Xu didn't sleep well, and Shu Er crossed an arm across Xu Zhao's body. Xu Zhao moved to push him away, but the young man grabbed him in his arms and said goodnight in a daze.

Xu Zhao didn't move, and quietly looked at the boy's soft profile profile, and closed his eyes after a while.
