Mu Rufeng suddenly woke up. He gathered his thoughts and turned to look at Xiao Chengyi walking over, and called out: "Yi'er."
Xiao Chengyi bowed and asked, "Is General Mu here to see my mother?"
"Your mother's things have fallen. I'll bring them to her."
Mu Rufeng said and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Xiao Chengyi and said: "You came just in time, please help me return it to your mother."
Xiao Chengyi looked at the jade pendant in Mu Rufeng's hand. He did not reach out to take it, but asked: "General Mu, has my mother ever told you about my deceased father?"
Mu Rufeng was stunned. He remembered that the first time he met Xin Ruyi, he was being chased and fell into a deep mountain and was rescued by Xin Ruyi.
There was a thatched house in the mountains, close to the mountains and rivers. When he woke up, he saw her cooking medicine outside the house. She was dressed in cloth and had a wooden hairpin on her head. She was as elegant and gentle as a fairy in the forest.
Almost at the first sight, he was attracted to her.
But her dress told him that she was married, so he could only put aside all his thoughts and regard her as his savior.
Until he told her his identity.
He clearly remembered how excited she was when she grabbed his hand and asked him if he knew Xiao Ce?
Xiao Ce, how could he not know her? But by some strange combination of circumstances, he deceived her. Seeing her disappointed look, his heart ached at that moment.
Later, when he recovered from his injury, he asked her if she would go back with him.
Unexpectedly, she actually agreed!
From the time they met until now, she had almost never said anything about Xiao Ce in front of him, and he had never asked about it.
Mu Rufeng lowered her eyes, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and said in a calm voice: "Why do you ask this?"
Xiao Chengyi looked at him and said: "My father's name is Xiao Ce. He joined the army when I was very young, but I don't know where he went. I only know that he died in battle six years ago and never came back.
"
Mu Rufeng slowly raised his head and said: "Beichen and Nanyue have been fighting all year round. Countless people die on the battlefield every year, and some even have no bones."
"yes."
Xiao Chengyi sighed, looked at him and said, "So please take care of yourself, General Mu. I don't want my mother to suffer the pain of separation again."
Mu Rufeng was a little surprised when he heard this. He reached out and patted Xiao Chengyi's shoulder with a dull look in his eyes and said, "Okay!"
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly and took the jade pendant from his hand: "I will give the jade pendant to my mother and let her keep it well."
Mu Rufeng nodded: "There is a banquet tonight, don't miss the time."
After leaving these words, he turned around and walked out.
Xiao Chengyi stood there and watched Mu Rufeng's figure disappear into the night, and then lowered his head to look at the jade pendant in his hand.
This jade pendant is a token of love given by my father to my mother.
Ordinary jade pendants are carved with exquisite patterns of birds and animals, but this jade pendant is carved with a wishful knot, which was carved by my father himself.
Ruyi is my mother's name.
The word "ce" in the middle was later carved by my mother herself.
This simple jade pendant carries the friendship between the two of them.
Sometimes Xiao Chengyi actually couldn't understand why a man who abandoned the love of his heart and finally lost his life in order to avenge his old master was worthy of his mother's attachment.
