The soldiers guarding the gate were very nervous. There had been no war in Beishan Fort Baihusuo for a long time, and everyone was a novice.
It's getting a little dark now. When they saw someone coming, several archers immediately loaded their arrows, trembling and shouted: "Who is this person?"
Wu Nian's eyelids jumped. Are these guys still soldiers? They are all blind.
I came here alone, are you afraid of this? ! !
"Don't be nervous, it's Wu Nian, the drunkard." A relatively calm veteran stopped his comrade's urge to shoot his bow and said after taking a serious look at Wu Nian's face.
"It turns out it's you, an alcoholic. Don't scare me like that. I almost shot you to death."
"Yes. My hand was shaking so much that I almost ejaculated."
Several archers cursed.
Wu Nian raised his right middle finger towards them. Of course, the archers could not understand this gesture.
"Old Ding. What is going on?" Wu Nian took a deep breath and went up to ask the veteran.
"I don't know what's going on. I just heard that the Meng Yuan people have gone south. Master Baihu ordered us to guard Baihu Station and strengthen training."
"The order came down yesterday. Did you just come back from going into the mountains?"
Old Ding took a look at Wu Nian's attire and guessed.
"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded and exhaled. It's okay that no Mongolians directly attacked Baihusuo. fine.
But he also felt it was a bit troublesome. The order came down yesterday, and he is still in the mountains.
That is to say, he did not return to the team.
Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter. The military discipline of the Great Chu Kingdom has been weakened. There is no such thing as returning to the team immediately, which is a big or small thing.
But the small flag on his head is Li Ding.
Zhang Yong’s wife and brother.
"It's best not to mess with me." Wu Nian thought to himself.
After Wu Nian said a few words to Lao Ding, he entered the Beishan Fort carrying a bamboo basket. Because it is relatively close to Chen's courtyard.
Wu Nian arrived at Chen's yard first. Her house is still the same, the door is leaky, but it is closed properly.
"Bang bang bang. Ya'er. It's me. Your Uncle Wu." Wu Nian banged on the door and said loudly.
The door was opened quickly, but it was not Li Ya who came out, but Chen.
Wu Nian was a little embarrassed, but quickly calmed down and looked up at Chen. I saw that her face looked much better than the previous few days, but her body was still shivering in the cold wind.
"Sister. Why are you out? Come in quickly." Wu Nian said quickly.
"I'm fine. But it's you. I told you not to go, but you didn't listen. It made me so worried." Mrs. Chen looked at the face of her childhood sweetheart, blinked, and after confirmation, she said happily.
There are jackals on this mountain. After Wu Nian left, she has been worried until now.
She is the dominatrix in a hundred households, and she conquers the father, the mother, and the husband. Very unpopular. Although she didn't like Wu Nian treating Liu Xiang like that, she had to admit it.
Among the hundred households, Wu Nian was the only one who often came to her house. and. The incident of jumping into the well greatly changed her impression of Wu Nian.
If this childhood sweetheart changes his personality, he will still be a good childhood sweetheart.
"Uncle Wu." Li Ya suddenly popped up from behind Chen and looked at Wu Nian with a smile.
"Ya'er. Have you been good these days?" Wu Nian smiled and reached out to touch her hair.
"I've always been good." Li Ya rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, then smiled again.
Then, Wu Nian, mother and daughter Chen came to the main room together. Wu Nian bent down, put down the bamboo basket, opened the deer skin covering it, took out a deer leg and some chopped meat, handed it to Chen and said, "Sister, I hunted a big deer. These Let’s improve the food for you.”
"I won't return the bow and arrows. I'll use them next time."
"Gulu" sound. Li Ya's throat moved, her eyes looked straight at the venison, and she made a clearly audible sound of swallowing saliva.
Wu Nian felt a pain in his heart. Although Li Ya is not thin, she usually cannot eat more than a few bites of meat.
Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed by her daughter's posture. But she quickly put it down, looked at Wu Nian in surprise, and covered her mouth in disbelief.
"You actually hunted such a big deer?"
This childhood sweetheart really surprised her again and again. A bad drunkard and a bad gambler suddenly changed.
Moreover, this boy has played with her since childhood, and she has never seen him fire a bow a few times.
Soon, Mrs. Chen came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Take this meat back yourself. Liu Xiang, you need to replenish yourself. There is still money for medicine."
She is delicate. The shaking of her head caused a blush to appear on her cheeks and made her gasp for breath. There is no cover in this world. Although she is wearing thick clothes, the waves are really rough as her body sways.
Wu Nian was very serious and didn't look much. He just patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister. This is just a small test for me. I can hunt such a big deer today, and I can hunt more tomorrow. There will be no shortage in my family." Meat, sister, you do the same."
That’s all. Wu Nian didn't wait for Chen to refuse again, picked up the bamboo basket, turned around and ran away.
"Xiao Nian." Mrs. Chen wanted to catch up, but she ran out of breath after just a few steps. She held on to the door frame and just tried to catch her breath. But Li Ya was already holding the venison and was drooling. She looked at her mother stupidly and said, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork."
Mrs. Chen felt sour in her heart and the corners of her eyes were astringent. He reached out and touched his daughter's forehead, nodded and said, "Okay, okay. Let's eat braised venison tonight."
This orphaned and widowed mother is pitiful. If their family had a man in charge, their daughter wouldn't be so stupid that she can't walk after seeing meat.
Mrs. Chen's heart was filled with sorrow and she wept silently.
............
After leaving Chen's yard. Wu Nian quickly returned to his courtyard, the door of which was closed. Wu Nian wanted to go up and knock on the door, but he was a little timid about being close to home.
I didn't hear any bad news from my sister. Xiang'er must be feeling better, and her mind should be clearing up.
She jumped into a well and committed suicide, but she did not die. After regaining her consciousness, she will definitely know that I saved her.
How is she feeling now?
Does she still hate me?
Wu Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking how long has it been since I, a majestic seven-foot-tall man, a mercenary who kills without blinking an eye, traveled here?
It was already squirming.
Everyone has a home in their hearts.
A man who returns home will always become softer.
Especially when there are women at home.
Wu Nian calmed down and reached out to pat the door.
"Bang bang bang."
"Xiang'er. It's me. I'm back." Wu Nian shouted in a neither gentle nor serious voice.
Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard, as if something was running towards them.
A slight smile appeared on Wu Nian's lips, and fantasies appeared in his mind involuntarily.
After Liu Xiang learned about the situation, she couldn't help crying with joy.
Forgive me for everything. From now on, my wife and children will be on the hot bed, and my life will be happy.
With a creak, the door opened.
Wu Nian was startled.
