When I received the news of Yue'er's death, I was stunned for a long time. When I realized what I was doing, I had already mounted my fastest horse and galloped towards the southwest.
"Second uncle, where are you going?!"
Xiao Lie rode a fast horse and my lieutenant and chased after me. I didn't say a word, all I could think about was my Yue'er.
Yue'er, she's gone, she's gone...
I ran all day and night without rest, and finally arrived at Baicao Valley.
At this time, white flags were hung everywhere in Baicao Valley, shattering the last bit of luck in my heart.
I would rather, who is lying to me, this is a joke on me.
I even thought that this was a deliberate trick from my family or someone in order to make me completely let go of Yue'er.
If I can let Yue'er live well, I am willing to keep her in my heart for the rest of my life, and I am willing to never say this to her. Originally, this was my plan.
But now that she is gone, I suddenly wake up and regret not telling her earlier.
Thinking that I would have to live in a moonless world for many years to come, I would selfishly think that I should tell her.
Tell her the love in my heart for her, the love that almost consumes my soul and reason.
I stood in the courtyard and dared not go in. I saw that the courtyard was filled with people who came to express their condolences.
After a long time, I stepped into the mourning hall on the side of the bamboo house.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a familiar fragrance. I often smelled it on Yue'er in the past. It was her favorite spice.
At that moment, I thought Yue'er was still there, but the coffin placed in the middle of the mourning hall told me a bloody fact: Yue'er was gone and she would never wake up again.
Que Wu stood in front of the coffin, as motionless as a stone statue. His aunt was kneeling on the ground, sobbing for a long time, covering her heart and almost fainting from crying.
Seeing me coming, my aunt stretched out her hand to me: "Erlang, Erlang..."
I stepped forward to support my aunt, not knowing how to comfort her. She softened to the ground again. I walked to the open coffin and saw Yue'er's pale, bloodless face.
I gripped the edge of the coffin tightly with my hands, almost losing my balance.
"Yue'er..."
I called her softly, as if this could wake her up.
"Yue'er, second brother is here to see you."
I touched her cheek with trembling hands. The cheek that was always warm now became extremely cold.
At this moment, my heart was broken again, and I was almost numb with pain.
I didn't dare to look anymore, and walked quickly outside the house with some staggering steps.
I don't believe it, my moon is still there, she must have gone to some other place that I don't know about.
I will definitely, I will definitely find her!
At this time, many thoughts ran through my mind, and finally they all converged into one, that is, I want to find her, and I want to accompany her.
If I can't be with her in this life, I must be the first to find her in the next life, and then express my feelings to her as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether she likes me or not, I have to tell her that I like her and love her.
Maybe, she can look back at me.
Just as I was stepping out, I heard a burst of crying. I stopped and looked around.
I saw Yue Chao sitting on a small stool next to the swing in the yard. Her sister Yue Xi held her arm and cried non-stop. There was an even smaller child at her feet, which should be the youngest Yue'an.
Seeing these three children who looked similar to Yue'er, the thoughts that arose in my heart were instantly extinguished as if being poured down by a basin of cold water.
Yue Chao raised her head and glanced at me, then lowered her head again.
She didn't cry non-stop like her two younger sisters, but she had tears in her eyes and was stubborn not to let them fall.
Xiao Lie stood beside her and wanted to go forward, but she yelled at her: "Don't come over!"
Xiao Lie immediately took a step back and looked at me.
I shook my head at Xiao Lie and said to him: "Erlang, take Sister Yue'an to play."
Xiao Lie entered the Xiao family tree and was ranked second in his generation.
Xiao Lie glanced at Yue Chao and took away Yue An, who had been holding Yue Chao's legs.
Until night, when everyone in the courtyard dispersed, Yue Chao still sat there without moving. I walked over and comforted her, and she hugged my neck and started crying.
Hearing the little girl's cry, my heart ached unbearably.
This is Yue'er's child...
If I leave now, what will happen to the three children left by Yue'er? Although the Xiao family and Suo Luo will take care of them, I still feel uneasy.
At least, let me protect them and watch them grow up.
After that, I stayed in the southwest border town and brought Yue Chao with me. In the first half year of Yue'er's departure, Que Wu had been depressed and couldn't take care of his three children.
The eldest brother brought Yue An back to Yunzhou to take care of him, Yue Xi followed his aunt and General Song Chuan, and Yue Chao was the most sensible child, feeling sorry for his father and always staying with him in Baicao Valley.
Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer and beat Que Wu severely.
If Yue'er were still here, she would be sad to see Que Wu like this.
After Queen Sara also beat Que Wu up, I watched him kneeling in front of Yue'er's grave, a grown man crying so hard that he couldn't stop crying.
At this moment, I felt the same as him.
It should be said that from the moment Yue'er passed away, I felt the same as him all the time.
My love for Yue'er is no less than his.
After Yuexi and Que Wu also left Baicao Valley, the sadness was temporarily relieved, and I returned to the border again, keeping company with the wind and sand all day long.
For many years after that, I lived like a soulless puppet.
Only when I saw the three children left behind by Yue'er did I feel that I was still alive.
Que Wu returned to Salo as his king, and Yue Chao often returned to Yunzhou to live. Yue Xi still stayed with her aunt. Yue Xi's cry-loving and coquettish temperament was very similar to Yue'er when she was sick. Yue Xi
Now, my aunt's heart over losing Yue'er can be somewhat comforted.
The well-behaved and quiet Yue'an was taken by her eldest brother and sister-in-law to raise her. After a while, she was brought back to the capital by her eldest father and mother-in-law.
Now they are the only two people left in the Xiao family in the capital. The two elders are getting older, and they have lost their eldest daughter and their adopted second daughter Yue'er at the same time. They are always sad in their hearts and often write to me to express their feelings.
However, Yue An also goes to the capital to accompany them for a period of time every year and then returns to Yunzhou, and will not stay in the capital for a long time.
Nowadays, the capital is a sad place, a den of tigers and wolves for us Xiao family people, and there is a secret imperial edict in the palace that is always hanging over our heads like a sharp sword.
Every time Yue Chao comes to Yunzhou, most of the time he runs to the border, stays at my mansion, and plays with Xiao Lieri to practice martial arts.
I saw that she did not object to martial arts, so I taught her personally. The little girl can endure hardship. Even when she trained with my soldiers, she never cried out about hardship. She could only smile and act coquettishly, even if she was rolled in the mud and beaten.
He was beaten with wooden swords and sticks and was bruised all over his body, but he never cried out in pain.
She still refuses to admit defeat. If she lost today, she must win back tomorrow.
This aspect is very similar to Sister Qingyu's temperament.
However, Sister Qingyu was very unruly and wild when she was young, but Yue Chao is more gentle and calm than her.
As the little girl grew up, her face became more and more similar to Yue'er's.
Seeing her wearing red clothes and galloping in the desert, I thought, if Yue'er was healthy, she would be like this.
On the day of the moon and the hairpin, I gave Sister Qingyu's silver spear to her. The little girl was very happy. Then she became so happy that she took it with her the next day to kill the bandits who had recently been roaming the villages and towns near Yunzhou.
Yunzhou is close to the border. Although our Xiao family army is guarding it, the border of Yunzhou is mountainous and has many villages and towns. Yunzhou is a prosperous place, and the nearby villages and towns have also become rich.
But after all, it is close to the outside of the pass. There are always many barbarians setting up camp here, robbing homes and homes, and they are prohibited from doing so. We can only go to suppress the bandits regularly.
Yue Chao often went to suppress bandits with my generals, but she had not yet led the team in person. I was worried about her and did not dare to let her lead the team alone. I always asked her to accompany my deputy general.
I didn't expect that she would go off to suppress the bandits with about ten people this time. When I knew that I wanted to lead the troops to find her myself, I watched Xiao Lie coming back with people on his back from a distance.
