At the northwest border in December, the snow is flying and the cold wind is howling.
At this time, it has been more than five months since Li Changsen returned home last time.
On the day of Laba, the four children in the eldest room of the Li family fell asleep with excitement and excitement.
Jin Yue'e is worried about her husband who has never returned home. She has already asked for leave from the inn and plans to take her four children to the health center to visit Li Changsen tomorrow.
It’s so hard to go out these days.
That night, Li Wuya was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
There's no way she can help it. Growing up, the farthest place she has ever been is an inn, and she has never traveled far.
Early the next morning, it was just dawn, and Li Wuya, who always liked to sleep in, got up earlier than Li Erya for the first time.
"Sister, it's time to get up. It's a long way to go to the health center. We got up late. I'm afraid we won't be able to get to the health center until the afternoon."
Li Erya looked at his sister who couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes, and reluctantly left the warm bed. As soon as she sat up, she couldn't help but shiver: "It's so cold."
Li Wuya was very active in helping Li Erya get cotton-padded jackets and trousers: "This year our cotton-padded jackets and trousers have all been replaced with new cotton, so it won't be as cold as last year."
Thanks to the money they received from the Beiyan people, they don’t have to suffer from cold and hunger this year like last year. In the past few months, because they have had enough food, the thin bodies of the four brothers and sisters Li Wuya have become visibly stronger.
Some.
Soon, the two sisters put on their clothes. When they left the house, they found that Li Sanlang and Li Qilang had also gotten up and were watching Jin Yue'e pack her things.
"Mom, dad hasn't been back for so long. It must be because of the war. Let's send the blood ginseng to dad."
Hearing what Li Wuya said, Jin Yue'e paused, thought for a moment, then opened the lock and took out the blood ginseng, and then cut it into slices with a knife so that Li Changsen could take it at any time.
By the time no one had cleaned up the mother and son, it was already dawn.
At this time, the rest of the Li family also got up.
As soon as Jin Yue'e and her four children walked out of the room, Mrs. Li stopped them: "Boss, wife, wait a minute, I'm going to the Queen Mother Temple to burn incense and petition, and I'll buy some New Year's goods by the way. I'll go with you later." In the vast and vast land northwest of Dachu, there stands a majestic and steep mountain range called Tianshan Mountain.
There are many folk legends about Tianshan, the most widely known of which is that Tianshan is the dojo of the Queen Mother, the head of the female immortals.
In gathering areas near the Tianshan Mountains, people spontaneously built many Queen Mother temples.
Life at the border is difficult. In order to seek blessings from the gods, countless believers go to the Queen Mother Temple every year to burn incense and petition, praying to the Queen Mother to bless the whole family, including children and adults, safe and smooth, without illness or disaster.
Among them, the Queen Mother Temple in the twelfth lunar month is the busiest of the year. At this time, in addition to burning incense and fulfilling vows, people can also visit the temple fair and buy some new year's goods.
Seeing that Mrs. Li wanted to join them, Li Wuya and Li Qilang suddenly fell down. Jin Yue'e, Li Sanlang, and Li Erya also didn't look as happy as before.
Li Wuya watched Mrs. Li slowly waiting for her third aunt to boil water to wash her face, and then slowly waiting for breakfast, and the fire in her heart couldn't stop burning.
Their grandma is indeed synonymous with trouble.
She also admired her very much, as long as she was around, it would always make people very unhappy.
When she thought about having to live with her under the same roof for the next ten or twenty years, Li Wuya felt very blocked.
Separation...
Li Wuya couldn't help but have the idea of separating the family, but quickly shook her head and denied it.
Let’s not talk about Mr. Li, whether Mr. Li agrees or not, the Li family is a military household, and even if it is divided into two families, it is still a military household. If something happens to her father, her brother will have to take over;
On top of her uncle and third uncle, there are Li Dalang and Li Erlang who are older than her brothers.
This is probably the reason why her father and her mother have endured the second and third houses for so many years without breaking up with them.
After all, the battlefield is dangerous, and no one can guarantee that they will come back alive.
Thinking of the last time Li Changsen came back with old and new injuries, Li Wuya became even more annoyed.
We still have to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible. People like the Li family are just trivial matters.
Ye Mo, Ye Mo, how can we get him to agree to teach them internal martial arts?
As long as she learns Qinggong, she can enter the Tianshan Mountains. After entering the Tianshan Mountains, is she still worried about not being able to find medicinal materials?
With the medicinal materials, not only can she improve her healing abilities, she can also prepare better potions that enhance her physical fitness.
Once her physique improves, her father will be able to protect himself on the battlefield.
Their family no longer needs to be as worried as they are now.
Li Wuya was thinking about these moments when breakfast was ready.
Seeing breakfast on the table, Jin Yue'e unceremoniously took her four children and sat on the table.
Mrs. Li glanced at a few people but didn't say anything.
During the meal, Li Wulang from the first room and Li Liulang from the second room knew that Mrs. Li was going to the county seat, and immediately shouted to follow her. The others also looked eager.
"I'm going to do some business, but I can't take you with me."
"Milk, we are very good and won't cause you any trouble."
"It's just milk. We'll go there and we can help you twist things."
"I can't count on you screwing things, so let Dalang go with me."
Li Wulang and Li Liulang immediately quit and quickly stepped forward to act coquettishly with Mrs. Li.
Except for Li Qilang, they are the two youngest boys in the family, and Mrs. Li loves them the most on weekdays.
Looking at her expectant grandson, Mrs. Li was a little hesitant. However, the county town in the twelfth lunar month was the busiest time. Last year, a child in the village was abducted by traffickers.
Wulang and Liulang are only seven or eight years old this year, and they are at the age when they love to run around. Her old arms and legs can't stand up to others, and Dalang is also an honest child. She is really worried about bringing two grandchildren.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Li looked at Jin Yue'e: "Boss, my wife, Wuya and Qilang are still too young, and the weather is so cold, so don't take them with you. Take Wulang and Liulang with you."
It should be enough to have the boss and his wife watching over you.
Hearing this, Li Wuya, who had been angry for a long time, laughed angrily: "Mistress, I have seen some partial old people, but people like you who are so biased are really rare in the world."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li became angry, and even Mr. Li frowned and looked at Li Wuya displeased.
But before the two of them could speak, Li Wuya said again very seriously: "Mistress, you really don't want to be my father's biological mother at all."
"My dad hasn't been back for almost half a year. We are going to see him today, not to play. I asked my mother to leave me and Qilang and take Wulang and Liulang. You can say this."
"You..."
Madam Li, who was originally furious, was about to curse, but in the end she just pointed at Li Wuya and said the word "you".
Father Li's reaction was also very strange. A moment ago, he seemed to want to teach Li Wuya a lesson, but when he opened his mouth, he scolded Mother Li:
"You are getting more and more confused as you get older. The boss hasn't been back for so long. Wuya and the others miss their father. What are you going to do with Wulang and Liulang?"
She noticed that Jin Yue'e's face looked ugly, and she quickly comforted her: "Boss, wife, don't argue with your mother, she is just an old fool."
As he said that, he looked at Li Wuya again.
"Wu Ya, please don't say that your mother is not your father or mother in the future. How hurtful is this?"
Li Wuya sneered, and before he could speak, Li Qilang said: "Nai has no relationship with us. She often secretly gives eggs to Brother Dalang and the others, but she has never given them to us."
Uh...
Father Li looked uncomfortable after being spoken to.
Li Wuya pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "Master, I don't want to think so, but the behavior of the baby makes me feel that she doesn't look like our own baby."
Li Qilang responded in seconds: "Like Goudan's stepmother, Goudan told me that his stepmother often secretly gives things to Niu Dan and others to eat."
Father Li's face was completely stiff, he was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't get off the stage. Seeing that Jin Yue'e didn't look like he wanted to smooth things over, he finally said dryly:
"It's getting late. After dinner, let's go out early."
......
It is more than 20 miles from Tianling Tun to Xining City where the guard station is stationed. The distance is so long that we have to use an ox cart to ensure we can reach the city at noon.
There was a fuss at home, and when they got on the bullock cart, Mrs. Li put on a long face and only talked to Li Dalang, paying no attention to Jin Yue'e and her son.
When she was like this, the four brothers Jin Yue'e and Li Sanlang ignored her.
After experiencing some things too much, people become numb.
Just like Mrs. Li keeps favoring the second and third bedrooms, they have long been accustomed to it, and now they don't even bother to get angry.
More than two hours later, Xining City arrived.
Compared with the poor military villages, Xining City is much more lively and prosperous.
After entering the city, the streets were filled with an endless stream of pedestrians, vendors carrying their shelves could be seen everywhere, and the shops on both sides of the streets were also very lively.
Jin Yue'e held Li Wuya and Li Qilang's hands tightly, and asked Li Sanlang to sign Li Erya's signature.
Originally, she planned to go directly to the guard to see Li Changsen, but the Queen Mother Temple was on the way to the guard. When she passed the Queen Mother Temple, she thought it was too late to come, so she planned to take her four children to pay homage to the Queen Mother.<
/p>
Just when the Li family was walking towards the Queen Mother Temple, the crowd suddenly started to make a noise.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Idle people retreat!"
Then, two groups of soldiers wearing armor and holding sabers ran over and stood more than one meter apart. Starting from the gate of the Queen Mother Temple and extending back, the originally crowded streets suddenly became smooth.<
/p>
Not long after, a magnificent carriage with exquisite decoration appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
