Xiao Lie held her precious silver spear in one hand and carried her on his back with the other.
I finally felt relieved when I saw that there were no obvious wounds on her body, and she was still talking to Xiao Lie in a cheerful manner.
However, Xiao Lie had a few wounds on his face and a few tears in his clothes, making him look a little embarrassed.
I listened to Yue Chao say: "Second brother, do you feel any pain? Just let me walk by myself. It's just a twisted foot. It's okay."
Xiao Lie said: "How can you walk with your foot twisted? Stay on my back and be good."
Seeing me, Yue Chao waved to me excitedly: "Second uncle! I caught all the thieves who were robbing our homes!"
I pretended to be angry and said with a stern face: "Why did you lead the troops out without telling me?"
Yue Chao is still young, and she doesn't know the importance of things. If I always indulge her, I'm afraid it will hurt her in the future.
I rarely get angry with Yue Chao. She immediately suppressed her smile when she saw my face. Seeing her like this, I immediately felt that my tone was a bit harsh.
Before I could speak, Xiao Lie said: "I took Ah Chao out. I have long disliked those bandits. The longer I keep them, the more trouble they will bring to the people."
"No, I'm going there myself. Second brother, don't take the blame for me!"
It is a violation of military discipline for Yue Chao to lead troops out without permission. Of course, this is just a matter of my words. It is not a big deal to just turn a blind eye and pass by. Yue Chao is also quite popular among the generals in the army. , always pampering her, treating her like her own girl and sister.
But when Xiao Lie opened his mouth and took the responsibility of leading troops privately on himself, there would be some problems.
Xiao Lie will inherit my position in the future. In the army, he must abide by military discipline and set a good example for other soldiers.
If I treat him lightly because he is my adopted son, it will make other generals dissatisfied.
I had no choice but to order him to get twenty military sticks.
Yue Chao knew that I always told the truth in the army and could pamper her in any way I wanted, but I would not tolerate others in the slightest.
Xiao Lie carried Yue Chao to the camp and got twenty military sticks.
I was calling the doctor to give Yue Chao a look at her sprained foot, and I watched her jump on one foot and run out.
I called her, and she glared at me with tears in her eyes: "Uncle stinky!" Then she continued to jump to the place where Xiao Lie was tortured.
This was the first time Yue Chao complained about me. I was a little surprised and found it interesting, so I followed him.
Xiao Lie was lying on the stool at this time, and the military stick hit him with a dull sound.
Yue Chao stood aside and watched with tears in his eyes.
Twenty military sticks, whether light or heavy, were enough to keep Xiao Lie in bed for two days.
Most soldiers would cry out after being beaten with twenty military sticks, but Xiao Lie gritted his teeth and never uttered a word.
Since then, Yue Chao hasn't spoken to me for half a month. I don't regret punishing Xiao Lie. I only regret not warning Yue Chao earlier and teaching her these matters. I really don't want her to suffer at all.
As long as I see the moon facing the moon, I will think of Yue'er. If Yue'er is in front of me, I won't let her be sad at all.
Yue Chao has always known how I treat people in the military, but I didn't expect that punishing Xiao Lie would make her complain about me like this.
I called the doctor to give Xiao Lie medicine. Standing outside the tent, I heard Yue Chao's sobs inside, so I opened a corner of the tent curtain.
Yue Chao sat in front of Xiao Lie's couch and shed tears. Xiao Lie lay on the couch and reached out to stroke her head and comfort her softly. His hand finally stayed on her cheek and wiped away her tears.
I was about to put down the curtain when I saw Yue Chao leaning down and kissing Xiao Lie on the forehead.
Xiao Lie stretched out his hand to pull her down and kissed her.
Looking at them, I was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered the curtain and walked outside.
A fifteen-year-old girl and a sixteen-year-old boy, everything is just right.
The friendship that grows up between childhood sweethearts can actually take root, sprout, and eventually bear fruit.
It's just that I have never been as lucky as them. No, I am lucky to meet Yue'er, but I don't have the courage like Xiao Lie.
One night before, in front of the bonfire outside the camp, I heard Xiao Lie saying to Yue Chao: "Ah Chao, I am happy with you. If you...if you are also happy with me, I will wait for you."
When I get my hair, I will go there, I will go there..."
Xiao Lie didn't know for a moment who to propose marriage to, the Xiao family or Suo Luo.
After Xiao Lie said this, his voice became softer: "If you don't like me, I will still be your second brother, and you can just treat everything I said today as my own."
Yue Chao looked at him with a smile and said, "If you say something out loud, it will throw water away. How can you treat it as if you haven't said it yet?"
Xiao Lie: "Then you..."
Yue Chao: "Second brother, who do you want to propose marriage to?"
Yue Chao's face was flushed red by the firelight, and those crooked smiling eyes called Xiao Lie's second brother, making me feel like I was in another world.
Xiao Lie said seriously: "I think I need to propose marriage to your father, uncle, and uncle."
Yue Chao laughed: "Then go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Yue Chao's words were like a hammer hitting my heart hard.
Back then, before Yue'er met that person, I expressed my feelings to her like Xiao Lie. Would she also be like Yue Chao, looking at me with a crooked smile: "Second brother, let's go.
,I am waiting."
After all, it is difficult to calm down.
One morning, Xiao Lie mentioned to me that he wanted to marry Yue Chao.
I picked up a pen and wrote some military affairs there without looking up at him.
After a long while, I put down my pen and looked at him, and I asked him: "If Yue Chao doesn't like you, what should you do?"
Xiao Lie immediately said: "I have expressed my feelings to Ah Chao. She is happy with me. We..."
"I said if." I interrupted him.
Xiao Lie said without thinking: "Then I won't be entangled with her anymore, but I still like her. As long as I see Ah Chao doing well, I have nothing else to ask for."
I smiled bitterly, how could I ask for nothing?
It’s just that I’ve never been able to ask for it.
Xiao Lie is not as stubborn as me, but after all, he is a child raised by me, and his temperament is somewhat similar.
"Erlang, you are very lucky. Go and propose marriage to Yanyan's father. He has a bad temper. Prepare to be beaten."
I patted his shoulder, which confirmed the marriage, but Que Wu was Yue Chao's father, so he had to nod.
However, he won't stop anything. At most, he will give the boy who abducted his most beloved daughter a beating. I am somewhat looking forward to it. With Yue Chao's defense of Xiao Lie, she will definitely be angry with him.
These years, Que Wu must have had a harder time than me.
However, I still hate him in my heart. He has the most cherished person that I can never ask for in my life.
As I expected, Xiao Lie was indeed beaten. I heard that Yue Chao said on the spot: "If my mother was here, you would not dare to treat me like this! My second brother is the person I like. You
How could you treat him like this!"
This is simply a stab in Que Wu's heart.
I think if I were Que Wu, I would have been very heartbroken at that time.
Yue Chao is the child who looks most like Yue'er. She called Xiao Lie's second brother in front of Que Wu and said that she liked him. How could she make him not angry or annoyed.
Because it was only later that I found out that Que Wu was actually hostile to me and was afraid of me.
His fear of me will only intensify the regret in my heart.
Neither he nor I are good people, we both have our own selfish motives, and we spent the rest of our lives poking at each other's guts.
It seems that without a poke or some harm, we all exist in this world like puppets.
The marriage between Yue Chao and Xiao Lie finally came to fruition. Que Wu would not stand in the way of his daughter's choice. They Salu people were all like this and would never stand in the way of anyone's choice, no matter whether it was good or bad.
I'm somewhat envious of this.
On the day Yue Chao and Xiao Lie got married, I was very happy and drank a lot of wine alone on the city wall. But that day, Que Wu drank with me all night.
He said: "Seeing Yanyan and Xiao Lie together, do you feel better?"
After hearing this, I laughed, until tears overflowed from my eyes at the end.
How can it feel better? It will only deepen the regret and memory in my heart, but now I live by this pain and memory.
Yue Chao and Xiao Lie have always had a good relationship after they got married. Yue Chao is the heir to the throne of Sara. When he gets older, he will start to learn to deal with Sara's affairs, so he and Xiao Lie don't often live at the border.
Later, Yuexi also got married and had a happy family. Only the youngest Yue'an was left.
But Yue'an is not as smooth as her two sisters, because her eldest father is getting older and does not want to stay in the capital anymore, but wants to return to Yunzhou for retirement.
By then, no one from the Xiao family will remain in the capital. As soon as Yuexi gets married, the sharp sword of the "Secret Order of the First Saint" hanging over our heads will be ready to move.
