The small village near the mountains and rivers is very beautiful, but it is very dilapidated. There are ruins everywhere, and some have signs of being burned by fire. The charred wood is covered with a thick layer of dust and becomes gray. Fortunately, There is also smoke rising from the kitchen, giving people a little hope in despair.
"The land of Hebei has been in turmoil for thirty years. Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Gao Tansheng, Li Zitong, and Tiemu'er, these people either plundered the population or killed people to seize food. They did nothing but good things, and they could be said to do no evil. A rich man Hebei has been devastated, with no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and ghosts with their bones exposed in the wild. If I had been born twenty years earlier, they would have been my killers." Speaking of this, Xitong was so angry that he couldn't help himself, and started to attack him. Yun Ye took out an exquisite silver wine flask from his pocket, tilted his neck and drank without leaving a drop.
"How did you know I would carry the wine in my pocket?"
"Why don't you put it in your arms and stuff it in your crotch? I already know that you like to take a sip when you're fine. It's embarrassing. What kind of sugar water do you put in the jug? Where's your strong liquor?"
"My strong wine is used to deceive the savages outside the Great Wall. One pot of wine and one sheep. This is a good deal. Drinking wine is the noble style. I pay more attention to my own cultivation. Unlike you, you want any woman you catch. You drink all kinds of wine and raise everyone’s son. Can you come here alone?”
"I don't have time to pretend to be arrogant. As long as I am willing, I can feel happy. You can't help me calling me daddy when my baby is raised. I just like rough-handed peasant women in the countryside, like the weeds on the roadside. A little rain and dew will help you survive. If your flowers fell into a field like this, they would have starved to death eight times over."
Yun Ye was unwilling to discuss the old events in Hebei with Xitong, as that would only arouse his hatred. Xitong was not an ordinary person. He had the ability and ability to do what he wanted to do, but after the trip to the North Pole, in the end, My fantasy of being a god was shattered, so I just wanted to die with the grass and trees. My heart was filled with despair, so I put a heavy burden on myself and let life train me, lest I become crazy one day.
The yard of Xitong's family is very large. The farmhouse is full of firewood. In the yard, several women with their hair wrapped in blue linen are busy. Some are pounding rice, some are using dustpans to remove chaff. Others are pushing. Grinding and feeding chickens, five pregnant women under the eaves were shaking spinning wheels and spinning flax. There was a clanging sound of weaving coming from the room on the left. There were also a few half-year-old children chopping firewood. It looked like they were chopping firewood. After a while, there were a lot of them piled under the eaves.
"My dear ladies, I'm back and I've brought guests. Why don't you come out and salute your uncle?" Xitong started shouting as soon as he entered the door.
The women threw down their servants and happily came out to greet their bosses. Children also came out of various corners. The sound of calling daddy gave Yun Ye a headache.
But when they saw Yun Ye's gorgeous armor, they were all stunned. A woman with a big belly cried and said: "Master, please don't drag our leader to serve as a soldier. The whole family of more than forty people will die." My survival depends entirely on my ability as the leader. If you take me away, I can still cook for the army."
The children also retracted into their mother's arms one by one and did not dare to come over. A few women even hid their older children behind themselves. They were fully on guard against Yun Ye. A small girl even carried an axe, as if as long as she wanted to No, just fight Yun Ye.
Helplessly, he looked at the overjoyed Xitong and made a bow: "Dear sisters-in-law, I am Xitong's brother. I just passed by with my soldiers and came here specifically to visit my brother. I have no other intention."
"Are you the uncle Marquis that daddy mentioned? You have a lot of delicious food at home? There is also a fat horse and a pig weighing a thousand kilograms?" A little guy of seven or eight years old flashed out from behind the woman.
, suddenly looked at Yun Ye with big eyes.
"That's right, I am. My delicious food was packaged for your father last year and he asked him to bring it back for you to eat. Unfortunately, your father gave it away. He also gave away the delicious dried meat.
He is a prodigal father. The next time he wants to eat delicious food, he will tell his uncle not to let your father know, so as not to give it away again. "
Yun Ye squatted down, touched the child's head, and provoked their father-son relationship. Xitong even laughed heartily.
"That's not true. Daddy gave those delicious pastries to those people because they were starving to death. My dad was saving people, not prodigal sons. My dad said that you are the number one prodigal son in the world."
"Hahaha," Yun Ye and Xitong burst out laughing at the same time, and the women were convinced that the general who came was indeed a friend of her husband, and was not here to capture her husband as a soldier.
A little girl of five or six years old with yellow hair carefully squeezed over and asked: "Uncle, Daddy said you would bring me beautiful silk flowers when you come. There are some for Xiaohe, but I don't have any."
"Silk flowers are nothing. My uncle brought you a piece of silk and satin, and asked your mother to make you the most beautiful floral clothes, floral skirt, and this beautiful stone. Well, it will be used as a dowry in the future."
Yun Ye took out a bag from his arms with a smile and gave the little girl a green gem. The little girl's eyes immediately lit up. She looked at the sun with the gem. She had never seen such a beautiful stone.
"Xiao Hua, put it down!" A woman without a handkerchief walked out from the crowd. She took the gem from Xiao Hua's hand and gave Yun Ye a gift and said: "The gift is too expensive. Children can't afford it. It will shorten their lifespan. Please
You take it back."
Yun Ye looked back at Xitong in astonishment. Xitong came over and took the gem from the woman's hand and gave it to Xiaohua. He said to the woman: "Jiu Niang is too worried. You may ask for help if you accept other people's property, but
It is natural for us to accept his money. We are brothers. If we say these things, we will ignore them. Accept them with confidence and boldly. He is one of the richest people in the Tang Dynasty. If you don't accept his money, whose money will you accept? "
The woman was still worried and wanted to say something, but in order to protect the man's face, she lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you uncle for the gift."
Yun Ye smiled, put the bag in Xitong's hand, and then said to the woman: "You don't have to worry about being soft-mouthed and short-handed. When Brother Xitong comes to see me, he is worth tens of thousands of dollars."
I accepted the golden fur without even blinking. You place too much value on a mere bag of gems."
Xi Tong whispered to the woman again: "Brother Yun has saved my life more than once. Are you worried that I will sacrifice my life for him in order to repay the favor? You are overthinking. There are so many masters under his command, and one of them is even like me."
They are no match for me, so if I fight for my life, I will only fight for you and these children. Everything else is just fleeting. I am afraid what this guy wants most is for me to die in a deserted village and never be born again."
Xitong has always been a smart person, but his wisdom has been obscured by his rough appearance. Yun Ye is curious that there is a rare tenderness in what he just said. This woman is polite and polite, and she is definitely not a country peasant woman.
When Liu Jinbao came to this house with gifts, the children were undoubtedly the happiest. The cakes were put in the food boxes. The woman gave each child two pieces. Watching the children holding them in their hands and licking them carefully, she felt so happy in her heart.
Feeling a burst of sadness, the little flower in the crowd licked it for a while, then carefully handed the cake to her mother and said happily: "Mom, try it, it's really sweet."
Just this sentence made the woman burst into tears, choked with sobs and shook her head. Once upon a time, her family was also a big foodie, but now her daughter is extremely happy when she takes a bite of the most common sweet-scented osmanthus cake. God, that disaster was the best.
Never come again.
Yun Ye and Xitong were sitting under the eaves, leaning on a wooden table and drinking. Although there were only two kinds of green vegetables, it did not hinder their enjoyment of the wine. When they were half drunk, Yun Ye asked Xitong in a low voice: "Your wife is not simple.
Ah, it doesn’t look like a peasant woman, why does it smell like my wife?”
"Hey hey hey, I see it. The lady from a wealthy family was harassed by beards from outside the Great Wall in Hebei Province a few years ago. Her home was destroyed. I heard from her that not many people in the family ran away. She was pregnant at the time and was hidden in the well by her husband.
I just escaped from the disaster. I thought I would give birth to a boy, but unexpectedly I gave birth to a girl. Then I lived in a muddle-headed way, gathering some women together to help me survive, and later they picked me up.
, in order to find support for those women, she agreed to marry me and be my eldest wife. However, I have not touched her until now, and I want to wait until the day she is willing."
Unexpectedly, this bastard was still a gentleman. He picked up the wine glass. The two brothers admired each other and drained it in one gulp.
"You don't want to change the current situation? You also got several other women pregnant. In this way, your hope of marrying her will be slim."
"You know what the heck, Jiu Niang has always dreamed of having a son. Your brother, I, have a magnificent figure, a gentleman's demeanor, a frank person, and know how to love children. I never beat a woman. She won't marry such a good man.
Who should I marry?"
"This is very reasonable. From the perspective of a beast, you have bright coat, strong body, tall and powerful, slender limbs, brave and good at fighting. You are worthy of being the king of beasts. You are indeed a good breeding partner. But you are a human, not
Beast, these conditions are not the most important. The most important thing between people is the feeling. If the feeling is right, there will be no problem in getting married immediately. If the feeling is wrong, it will be a matter of time that we share the same bed with different dreams. I really don’t want my brother to have a green head in the future, so
You need to find another solution."
"What's the plan?"
"Little brother, I know that the generation of lust is related to this place." Yun Ye pointed to his kidney.
"Nonsense, everyone knows the importance of kidney water. When my master taught me martial arts when I was a child, he asked me to strengthen the kidneys as the first priority, and then to strengthen the muscles and bones. Without kidney water, I would be a eunuch."
"Brother, please be patient and listen to what I have to say. Most women are shy, and sometimes men should take the initiative. Anyway, you and I are time-tested, thick-skinned, and not afraid of rejection. Besides, I am in Chang'an, and I still have a magic weapon.
Use it, with it, it will be beneficial to deal with women,"
"Hey hey hey" the two people looked at each other and smiled, they really liked each other.
"What kind of magical weapon can you borrow from me to try out?"
"Of course, this thing is called Spring Breeze Powder..."
