Batu is nearby, and Lin Sheng should be nearby. It's just that Ning Xi is coming here too. I'm a little confused. Is it a trap? It's just that I have a low status, so it shouldn't be that troublesome. , seeing that Yin Huaying was full of energy, and his words were quite friendly, I thought about it and said: "That's fine, the weather is freezing, if you don't think I'm presumptuous, I will naturally be happy to go.
Yin Hua nodded without saying anything, and Li Duanduan smiled gloomily and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder, so you have the guts." I had a plan in mind and said, "This is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the Jin Yiwei. There are many brothers following around. What's so scary? Miss Yin doesn't look like a bad person, so I naturally believe it. As for you, hey, let's leave it at that!" Li Duan was stunned and said, "What do you mean by leaving it like this?"
Yin Hua was giggling over there, and I saw Li Duanduo was serious. He was amused in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he said, "Let's just go like this, let's go there together, is that okay?" Li Duanyuan glared at me and said, "Look at you too. Unlike a scholar, I don’t know what you are saying, but I am just telling you, don’t play tricks. The lady knows you, but I don’t know you.” After hearing this, I felt warm in my heart, and Yin Hua had already said: “Let’s go, Mr. Zhang believes in us, then let’s go there together!”
It turned out that this group of people had not gone far, and were resting in a nearby depression. The camels formed a wall, and some of them had injured legs. Someone was bandaging them to check. They set up an open tent and built a fire inside. Batu and Yin Zhou were there, sitting on the pile of wool, roasting mutton, and Mrs. Wang was also there, making tea.
"Mr. Zhang Qi, you came so quickly! We meet again." Batu said with a smile. Yin Zhou lowered his eyes before I could say anything and said, "The reason why eagle dogs are eagle dogs is because they can fly high and run fast." Hurry, so that you can report the news to the master!"
I suddenly felt my face heat up, maybe because I was young and energetic, maybe because I was wearing a flying fish suit, and I unconsciously responded: "Even if it is a court eagle dog, it is better than a bereaved dog. At least we still feel that we have a home to return to and something to do." !”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Yin Hua looked at me blankly, Li Yuanduan had an angry look on his face, Mrs. Wang stopped the water glass, and Batu glanced meaningfully at Yin Zhou. Yin Zhou raised his head and looked at me silently, and then Then he lowered his head and said: "This brother is indeed knowledgeable. Yes, you are a stranger in a foreign land. Why do you need to know each other in the past? We laugh at you as a hawk and a dog, so why don't we? Who in the world is not the same, living in the open air, thousands of miles away, working as farmers, workers, fishermen, and mulberry trees? Firewood, rice, oil, and salt, that’s all! Come on, little brother, sit down and drink a glass of water. We will part ways in a while. Today is a fateful acquaintance, but we can’t expect to see each other again in the future!”
Everyone laughed. I saw that Yin Zhou was extremely polite, and Yin Hua even motioned for me to sit down, so I sat down and said, "My words are offensive, please forgive me!" Yin Yiyi smiled and said, "The people in the Jinyi Guards , I have also met a few people like this little brother, it is indeed rare. I am the one who is rude, let’s treat each other!" We smiled unconsciously, and I looked around, except for Li Duanduo, who was standing aside coldly, The others stared at me calmly.
Mrs. Wang had already handed over a glass of water and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you new to the profession? Seeing that you are so heroic and you have become the commander-in-chief at a young age, I believe that the position of commander in chief will be yours in the future. Come on. , sister uses tea instead of wine and gives a toast to little brother!"
I drank a glass, and Mrs. Wang refilled it and said, "I thought you were a man last night, different from others. Where is your family name, little brother?"
Her voice was very pleasant. I raised my head to look at her. It was a face full of tenderness. Although there were slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her eyes were watery. I replied: "Thank you, madam. I am from Baoding!" Mrs. Wang opened her eyes. With big eyes, he glanced at Batu and said, "I am also from Baoding. I didn't expect that we are fellow villagers!"
When I was twelve years old, I and my brothers went out with their father and uncle. At that time, we were all together. Although we were far away from home, we missed our mother and grandfather at most. But now we are alone, busy with official duties step by step every day, even though we are with a group of people. The brothers are together, but there is still loneliness inside.
Now that Mrs. Wang said that she was from Baoding, I was surprised and happy. I gained an extra closeness out of thin air. Then Yin Zhou smiled and said: "It turns out that I am from the township party, which is really rare!" Mrs. Wang poured me another cup of tea, and she was also full. After a cup, he said: "We have tea instead of wine, so we are getting acquainted."
Yin Zhou said unhurriedly: "Little brother, what are you doing here?" I replied: "I was ordered to accompany Miss Hou Yefu here. As for what I am doing, I really don't know. I'm just going to explore the route first, and the team will come later. Come here." I said, but my face felt hot.
Yin Hua said aside: "Didn't Miss Ningxi come here last night to see the Zhongzhong Temple?" I nodded, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Miss Yin is indeed attentive. I did hear Miss Ningxi say yesterday, Miss Ningxi Why didn't you come together? We had a good conversation last night, I really want to keep her!"
Batu said: "I listened to Mr. Yin and that Eunuch Lin talking about Tumu Fort last night. I came here today to take a look and reflect on the past. It was really eye-opening! Mr. Yin is so talented that it is not used by the world. It is a pity." Yin Zhou He chuckled and said: "If you say you are talented, unfortunately, it may not be me!"
Everyone was stunned, and Yin Zhou looked around and said: "Mr. Lin and I used to be rural scholars. We originally expected to take the imperial examination and win the imperial examination, so as to change our future. Mr. Lin is said to be extremely talented, with poetry and poetry. He is proficient in everything, and what is even more rare is that he also practices martial arts secretly, otherwise he would not be able to go to your Dongchang. This is many times better than me. Our family is poor, and my parents passed away early. My sister and I are the only ones in my family. But he was a little better. He got married and had children after being selected as a scholar. We often took the imperial examination together. Although we thought we were very knowledgeable, we always failed in the exams. When we were thirty, we became discouraged. I wanted to be a private school teacher. Or become a staff member, but he didn't, but went from the palace to the palace. It's a pity, a dignified man, he did it like this, no matter what, he still got ahead after all!" Batu nodded and said: "This is indeed rare, alone With such great perseverance, to practice martial arts and go to the palace, haha, if you are not an outstanding person, you really can't do it!"
I said "Oh" and suddenly remembered Wang Zhen, who also entered the palace in middle age and became a popular eunuch. Although Lin Sheng and I had only met a few times, I still felt that this man was smart, capable and unusual. The eunuchs were so weird and weird. Now after hearing about his life experience and thinking about his own life experience, he sighed in his heart and said: "The world is unpredictable, what can we do? We can't just let nature take its course!"
After hearing this, they were stunned again, and Yin Zhou said: "My little brother is not very old, how can he be so emotional?" Yin Hua also cast a concerned look, and I smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just lamented Eunuch Lin's fate! "
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said, "What happened to our family that makes everyone so worried!" The person who came was none other than Lin Sheng. He walked as fast as flying, followed by two people, and he arrived here in a blink of an eye.
Li Duanduo nervously held the handle of the knife, and I stood up subconsciously, thinking that I was about to take action. Lin Sheng motioned me to calm down with his eyes. Yin Zhou stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, we meet again, but we are about to have a fight." I’m leaving, I wonder if Mr. Lin is here to see us off?”
Lin Sheng said: "Originally, our family returned to Beijing on official business, but suddenly I thought of Brother Yin, and was really reluctant to leave him, so I turned back here. It's so merciful that our family can see Brother Yin again!"
Then he said: "Brother Yin and I have been friends for many years. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We talked last night and we were very impressed. Brother Yin is still the same brother Yin we were twenty years ago, but our family is no longer the Mr. Lin we were twenty years ago." , the so-called ill-fated fate, that’s probably it!”
What he said was quite emotional and eye-catching. Yin Zhou, with a solemn face on his face, said: "Life is like a fleeting moment. Don't you see that the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is black hair and the evening is snow. Brother Lin, although twenty years have passed by, we are far apart. Fortunately, we will all be alive. You After all, I am in charge of the world-famous Dongchang, and everything is smooth sailing everywhere. People like me have wasted half of their lives, but I am not discouraged. I sing to wine every day, lie on the bed drunk, sleep with the green mountains and green waters, and Wouldn’t it be great to have a white cloud and a little bird as your friend?”
Lin Sheng nodded and said: "There are wandering clouds and wild cranes in the sky and on earth. In this case, let's say goodbye. Our family has to go back to the capital, and Brother Yin has to go outside the Great Wall. Take care of yourself along the way. Green mountains and green waters are here, and we will meet again on the way. Take care, take care. !” There were tears in his eyes.
Yin Zhou also held up his hands and said, "Brother Lin, we are no longer young people, and time is not forgiving, so you should take care of yourself!" He turned around and said to Batu, "The weather is just right, it's time for us to get up and leave. ." Batu understood, and quickly ordered people to pull up the camels, and then they all mounted their horses. Lin Sheng and Yin Zhou bowed to each other and said goodbye with tears. And I couldn't help but stare at Yin Hua. Her eyes fell on my face and she found me looking at her. She immediately turned her head. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But she got on her horse and turned her head again, looking at me with a blushing face. Her eyes were like water. Just before I could say goodbye, she turned around and urged her horse forward. The sound of camel bells slowly walked along the snowy road, and then disappeared into the distance, blending into the vast snowfield.
