For the next whole day, Luo Fengtang was in a daze.
Except for holding on when I came to take care of the two children, I was not very good at other times.
Blacksmith Luo was a little worried when he saw him like this.
"Tangyaozi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Luo Fengtang shook his head, "No, why did uncle ask that?"
Blacksmith Luo looked suspicious, "You look very bad."
"It's not bad!" Luo Fengtang raised his hand and wiped his face randomly. He felt very uncomfortable being looked at by his uncle at such a close distance.
So I got up and went back to the backyard, changed into short playing clothes, picked up my sword and went to the small bamboo forest to practice sword practice for nearly two hours, until I was sweating profusely and until I collapsed from exhaustion, I let go of the empty and confused feeling in my mind. Dispelled some.
At night, he visited the two children. After returning to his room, he lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling of the tent, and that empty feeling came out again.
He tossed and turned, wondering what had happened to him this time.
It's not like we have never been separated before. The longest separation was nearly a year.
This time, I felt not only lonely and confused, but also an indescribable panic.
After a sleepless night, Luo Fengtang made a decision.
Early the next morning, Yang Huazhong and Sun happened to come over to see the two children.
While the elders on both sides were present, Luo Fengtang told them his decision.
Sun was the first to be shocked.
"Tangyaozi, can't this be done? Qing'er has just walked out with her front legs, and you have to go out with your back legs too. The stool isn't even hot yet!" Mrs. Sun said.
Wang Cuilian also said: "Yes, Tang Yazi, just don't go out."
Blacksmith Luo grimaced, "We are very nervous about leaving two such young children to us. As long as one of you two stays at home, we will be more at ease."
Mrs. Sun then added: "Qing'er went back to her hometown with Hongxiu to visit her grave. There must be other followers around them. I don't think you should go."
Although the elders didn't say it clearly, Luo Fengtang was not stupid. He could tell that the elders were very unhappy with his decision.
This can't be blamed on them. Now that he and Xiang Shengnan are safe and sound, the elders are relieved and all their energy has been transferred to the two children.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder, they became more cautious when taking care of their children.
In Luo Tiejiang's words, my heart is tense and the pressure is indeed quite high. I definitely hope that the children's parents can stay at home, so that they can have a backbone no matter what happens.
Luo Fengtang felt very guilty about this, but the decision he made after careful consideration all night would not be changed easily.
Luo Fengtang smiled and patiently explained to several elders: "Actually, I'm not specifically looking for Qing'er. The main reason is that I have military affairs to attend to, and I happen to be heading north, so..."
"Since Tang Yazi has military affairs, let's not stop him. We can't delay his business."
In the end, Yang Huazhong, who had not spoken for a long time, helped Luo Fengtang get out of the siege.
Luo Fengtang looked at Yang Huazhong gratefully.
Yang Huazhong patted Luo Fengtang on the shoulder: "Go ahead and come back early after finishing your work. Don't worry about your family, we will take care of you."
Luo Fengtang nodded gratefully again and went to see Blacksmith Luo again.
At this time, although Blacksmith Luo still looked unhappy, his previously tense face gradually softened a bit.
"Since your father-in-law is relieved, you can go. By the way, when will you go?"
Luo Fengtang said: "Let's go now."
Blacksmith Luo suddenly became anxious again and shouted: "Why so fast? Just leave?"
Luo Fengtang laughed along, feeling guilty. He didn't want to say anything more, for fear that if he said too much, the truth would be revealed.
Because all the military affairs he had accumulated some time ago were arranged for Yoruichi to handle, this trip to the north was purely to chase Qing'er.
"Well, military affairs must not be delayed." Yang Huazhong once again helped Luo Fengtang out of the siege.
At the same time, he asked him: "Have you packed your things?"
Luo Fengtang nodded.
He didn't have much, just a sword and some money.
Yang Huazhong added: "Then let's set off after breakfast!"
Luo Fengtang looked a little uncomfortable and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to eat, I'll leave now."
Yang Huazhong was stunned. This was really not an ordinary emergency!
Blacksmith Luo couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Luo Fengtang again and shouted: "You, you, forget it, let's go, let's go!"
The old man was so angry that he turned his back and didn't want to look at Luo Fengtang. Wang Cuilian hurried over and whispered to persuade him not to do this.
Luo Fengtang looked at Blacksmith Luo in shame, bowed with his hands clasped in his fists, and then bowed to Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong smiled and nodded: "It's okay, it's okay, you go."
Luo Fengtang came to the cradle again and looked at the two babies. He stretched out his hand to touch his younger brother's cheek, but Blacksmith Luo pulled him away.
"Let's go, let's go. My two grandsons are also unlucky. They were born without a father and a mother. They don't know what to do."
Luo Fengtang was embarrassed.
Shen Sheng said: "I will come back immediately after I finish my work. The elders at home...are exhausted!"
After saying these words, he left the house without looking back.
In the room, Blacksmith Luo was still angry, and Wang Cuilian and Sun were trying to persuade him.
Finally, Yang Huazhong came to Blacksmith Luo with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, the children didn't do anything wrong, so why are they so angry?"
Blacksmith Luo turned around and said to Yang Huazhong: "Qing'er wants to accompany Hongxiu to visit the grave. There is nothing we can do about it. Hongxiu's daughter has a miserable life."
"But this kid, do you think I can't tell? He's not so anxious about military matters at all. He's just anxious to find Qing'er!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room fell into a strange awkwardness, and everyone looked at each other.
After a moment, Yang Huazhong smiled.
"Brother Luo, we've all been here since we were young, so why don't we tell you if we see through it!"
Wang Cuilian also pinched Blacksmith Luo gently, "You are serious too. They are young people who have good feelings and want to stick together. This is a good thing. How can there be an old man like you?"
Mrs. Sun agreed with Wang Cuilian's words, and was even very happy in her heart, because her son-in-law was so attached to her daughter, which is what every mother-in-law wants to see.
But what Blacksmith Luo said next made everyone dumbfounded.
Blacksmith Luo accompanied him and explained: "Of course I hope that their relationship will be good and that everything will go well with their family. But the boy doesn't want to think about what time of year it is. The two children are still at home. Even if he is attached to his wife, he has to take care of him first. Take care of your sons, right? Qing'er left the children in his hands before he left!"
Blacksmith Luo then added: "Based on what I know about our Qing'er, if she turns around and sees this kid abandoning the children and running to look for her, she will most likely be angry and he will be scolded!"
Yang Huazhong and the others just laughed, but the atmosphere in the room became much lighter after such condemnation.
After all, everyone knew in their hearts that although these two people were absent from the family now, they had both gone to do other things and would have to come back after finishing their business. Therefore, the mood of the elders was very different from before.
