Song Heng suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped towards his wife and children.
Seeing his father coming over, Xiao An blinked his eyes and stopped crying.
Song Ziling: "Dad."
"Chacha, chatter..." Xiaozi An rushed to Song Heng who got off the horse and stretched out his hands.
Song Heng immediately took his son into his arms and kissed his fair and tender face.
"My son is so smart that he can call him daddy."
"Chacha, chatter..." Xiao Zi'an shouted a few more times with watery eyes.
Song Heng wiped the tears from his son's face with the back of his hand.
Why not use palms?
Because he has been playing with knives and guns for many years, his palms have many calluses and are too rough, which will scratch his son's delicate face.
Song Heng said: "Daddy will be back soon."
After he finished speaking, he kissed his son's little face again, and then handed it to Shen Wan.
When holding the child, their hands touched each other and they felt each other's body temperature.
Suddenly, Song Heng put his hand on the back of Shen Wan's hand holding the child, looked into her eyes and said solemnly: "Wait until I come back."
Shen Wan watched Song Heng's eyes widen in surprise, her heart beat a little faster, and she nodded stiffly.
Song Heng left and led his 200,000 troops to the north.
When Shen Wan returned home, she looked at her son crawling on the kang and felt empty in her heart.
From time to time, the words Song Henglin said before leaving, "Wait until I come back." could be heard in my ears.
Then what?
What will happen when he comes back?
Will anything change between them?
Inexplicably, she was actually looking forward to his return.
On the fifth day after the army left the imperial city, Shen Wan had 3,000 jars of pickles and 5,000 bottles of chili sauce loaded into a truck. He also asked someone from the Escort Bureau to assign a government soldier to send things to the north.
The food in the battlefield is simple, rough and tasteless. It can be more flavorful if it is served with kimchi and chili sauce.
On May 20th, Qiu Ju returned to the General's Mansion alone.
"The young master has grown so big!"
As soon as she entered the house, Qiu Ju picked up the young master who was crawling on the kang.
"Isn't it still early for you to come back?
Why are you back so soon?"
Shen Wan looked at Qiu Ju and asked.
Qiu Ju said: "My husband, he heard that there was a war in the north, and he also learned that the commander was a general. He said he had to go, so he went directly to the north.
I had nothing to do at home, so I came back first."
Originally, the young couple planned to live there after decorating the house in the imperial city.
But now that Qiao Mu has gone to the north to fight, she has no fun living alone, so she decides to live in the General's Mansion.
When my husband said he wanted to go to the north, his father-in-law and mother-in-law stopped him and refused to let him go.
He also said that he was not in the imperial city, so it was a good thing that he escaped this battle.
The husband got very angry after hearing these words, and finally ran to the north alone despite the objections of his parents-in-law.
"How can you bear to separate just after you get married?"
Shen Wan asked.
Qiu Ju shook her head silently, naturally she was reluctant to let go. Not only was she reluctant, she was also afraid that she had not had a good night's sleep these days.
The battlefield was so dangerous, and she was so afraid of him leaving... She knew it was unlucky to think like this, but she couldn't help but think about it.
Shen Wan also saw her worry and fear, and said as if to comfort herself and her: "Don't worry, he will come back safely."
"Uh-huh."
Qiu Ju nodded with red eyes.
After Qiu Ju came back, she went to Zhaixing Tower in the morning and went to Izumo Villa to do some work in the afternoon. Since she came back, Lu Wenqin also feels a little more relaxed.
Seeing that the day of the college examination was coming soon, Song Ziling worked harder and harder, reading late into the night every day.
At this time, Song Heng was on the battlefield, fighting with the Northern Territory Cavalry, repelling the Northern Territory Cavalry time and time again.
They arrived in the north on May 13th. At that time, the northern army was launching a fierce attack on the border city wall. If they had arrived an hour later, the city gate would have been breached.
The setting sun was like blood, and Song Heng climbed up the tower wearing bloody armor.
"General."
The guard on the tower saluted him.
He nodded, walked to the city wall, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and whispered: "The sunset is infinitely better, but it's almost dusk."
Under the city tower, the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. Song Heng looked at the corpses being carried onto carts. They would never see such a beautiful sunset again.
At this moment, he hated war extremely.
Because many people will die in war, he doesn't like killing, but he has to fight and kill for his beliefs and country.
