Chapter 122 Different
...
The cold wind blows.
There is sunshine too.
A group of soldiers squatted in the wilderness and built a fire together.
They happened to burn near an ant nest, and many small ants crawled out one after another.
One of the soldiers had a square face.
They were sent by the emperor to fight against rebels.
But when they arrived in Jingzhou, they found that the rebels were too miserable. They were not rebels at all, but refugees who were looking for food. The
refugees were not afraid of death. They actually said that the rebel General Zi was a living Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering and were willing to die for General Zi.
They said that they were forced to death by officials and were levied heavy taxes. They would die anyway, so they might as well rebel. At least they could have food to eat.
By the end of the battle, the soldiers themselves were a little confused.
The enemies were too easy to kill, but there were too many of them. Some of these enemies looked like their grandfathers, some looked like their uncles, and some looked like their children, and they were not afraid of death.
Why did it turn out like this?
The soldiers didn't understand. This was not a problem they could think about at all. They joined the army and faced life and death as a member of the grassroots. They themselves had basically no education.
And Meng Shaoxia was very confused among these big-headed soldiers.
He could recite all the poems in the capital that praised the emperor: great talent and strategy, knowledgeable about the past and the present, peace and prosperity in the country and the people, and a prosperous world.
But is this a prosperous world?
What he saw this time was much more tragic than the last time he was with Brother He.
Meng Shaoxia's hands were cracked and frozen.
He was considered relatively well, after all, he still had
a jacket on. The others' hands were really cut and bleeding.
They went out to fight, but the superiors withheld supplies. Everyone was naked, hungry, and cold. The ones they were fighting were ordinary people, so they couldn't continue the fight.
The soldiers were confused, but they didn't really think about whether to fight, why to fight, how to fight, and to what extent. Those were the concerns of the superiors.
After warming up by the fire, a few people chatted idly: "Tiezhu, have you found a wife?"
The tall soldier Tiezhu was a little embarrassed when talking about his wife, but he nodded seriously: "I'll wait until this time when I go back. If I can make a contribution and get a reward, I'll give it to her as a betrothal gift."
"What about you, Xiaofang?"
Meng Shaoxia was still lost in thought.
Being asked this question suddenly, he became even more confused.
"I haven't confessed my feelings to her yet, and my parents don't seem to agree."
Tiezhu's big arm patted his shoulder, and it felt strangely hard. Xiao Fang was very strong.
"But what's wrong with the girl?"
"No, the girl is very good."
"Then what's wrong with the girl's brother, sister, and parents?"
"No, they are all very good people."
"Then why don't your parents agree? Could it be that your ancestors were from a wealthy family? It's not easy to find a wife these days. If you see someone you like, you have to chase after him. If you're too late, she will become someone else's wife."
Meng Shaoxia smiled bitterly, and his other shoulder was also grabbed and shaken vigorously.
"Xiao Fang, you are fierce in fighting, but you are not good at chasing after a wife. Just listen to us."
...
The ants retreated like a tide.
Yin Gu's heart was broken.
Just pretend you didn't see it.
I was dazzled.
It must be that because you are old and haven't slept well, it is normal for your eyes to be dazzled.
Jiang Mianmian saw that the ants had dispersed, and turned around to see her aunt standing behind her, her body swaying, and thought that her aunt might indeed be old.
In order to prevent my husband from being angry to death, it is necessary to add some spiritual spring water.
Because she listened to the corner of the bed at night and heard her grandma talking to her father. Her father said that my aunt was very pitiful. She had been childless all her life and was alone in the family. She asked her to treat others well and treat her like her own aunt.
Qin Luoxia was very happy. She had always felt that there was no one in her natal family and she could not help her husband. Now her husband said that she could really treat her as her biological aunt. It was a good relationship.
Jiang Mianmian was very happy listening to her mother's voice.
It seems that I was excited to catch mice in the middle of the night.
Auntie can have a snack again. She likes to eat dried mice as a snack.
Jiang Mianmian moved her butt, patted the straw mat beside her and said, "Auntie, sit down."
Auntie Yin took a deep breath and sat down.
She breathed a little too hard, the air became cold, and she couldn't help coughing again.
She felt a small fleshy hand patting her back.
Auntie Yin coughed even harder. She
was not moved, but why was this little girl so strong? She was like a small copper hammer and couldn't breathe.
Jiang Mianmian thought, my father is the only one in the family who likes to cough. He is much better now after drinking Lingquan water. He is just pretending to cough in front of people. It should not be a real cough. She has been on duty in the pulmonary inpatient department before. People who have undergone lung surgery have to make patients cough the next day. They have to use force from the abdomen. The muscle expressions and sounds of coughing in different parts are different.
Jiang Mianmian listened to her aunt coughing even louder, and her little face was filled with worry.
Her aunt's symptoms were more serious than her father's, not only did she cough but she also wheezed violently.
Aunt Yin, who had coughed up years of phlegm from being beaten, silently wrapped up the phlegm, got up and threw it away.
Qin Luoxia had been out early in the morning. When she came back and saw Aunt Yin and Mianmian, she smiled and said, "Aunt, I'll take you for a stroll in the village and meet some people."
Aunt Yin thought that if she wanted to escape, she really had to get familiar with the terrain of the village.
Otherwise, it would be useless to run out of the house with great difficulty if she couldn't get out of the village. She
readily agreed.
Jiang Mianmian then stayed in her mother's arms, watching as her mother held her in one hand and took her aunt for a stroll in the village with the other.
Qin Luoxia introduced everyone enthusiastically: "This is my cousin, my dear cousin. She will live in my house from now on. If you see her, please lend a hand if you need anything."
The villagers all called Aunt Yin.
Aunt Yin was a little embarrassed by the open enthusiasm.
The villagers were keen to show their intimacy by touching, pulling arms, pinching hands, and shaking hands.
"Aunt, you are so strong, you have a good body, it's just right for you to take care of the baby, your Luoxia is a really nice person..."
Jiang Mianmian looked at the high and mighty Mr. Yin in her mother's arms, and instantly integrated into the village aunts and grandmas without any sense of disobedience, which was also awesome.
Mr. Yin is really amazing. He
has already started to ask about what happened in each family.
At this time, a group of men in the fields in the village not far away burst into loud laughter.
People rushed over to watch the excitement.
Jiang Mianmian also leaned forward.
Fortunately, her mother had long legs and arrived at the scene quickly.
It turned out that spring had come, and everyone had to think about farming.
Every year they would ask a respected person to start farming.
In the past, Mr. Liu would scold everyone and tell them to work hard for him and not to be lazy.
But this year, Mr. Jiang said that he would divide the land among everyone, and it has already been implemented. Although it is small, Mr. Jiang said that when they are stronger, they can have more land, and in the future all the men in the village can have their own plots and marry wives.
So this year, Mr. Jiang will start everyone.
The sound just now was made by everyone seeing Mr. Jiang and his son actually go to the fields in person.
It is actually very strange. In the past, everyone laughed at Mr. Jiang for not being able to lift or carry anything, and not doing any work.
Now everyone respected Mr. Jiang, but they still couldn't lift him up or carry anything. He just stepped into the mud himself and accidentally got mud on his body and face. Everyone was very moved and excited, and laughed kindly.
Jiang Mianmian went over and saw her father playing in the mud. She was a little excited and wanted to go too.
But her mother held her down.
Aunt Yin saw the man standing in the mud, his body and face covered in mud. He was still talking to the people around him with a smile on his face.
He left a mud mark on each of his feet. He was friendly and kind, talking and laughing with the villagers around him. He was very charming. No matter what he said, the people around him nodded and cheered crazily, their faces flushed with excitement, and their emotions surged.
Just like the time she met the master of silence many years ago, that person just spoke calmly, and everyone nodded and said yes to what he said, which made her feel very panicked. At least thousands of people died because of silence that time.
Jiang Changtian saw his wife in the crowd, and he walked out of the mud and wiped the mud off his hands.
He reached out and hugged Mianmian over, and smiled, "Why are you here?"
Qin Luoxia also smiled and said, "Take my aunt to get familiar with the people in the village. After all, we will be together day and night in the future."
Jiang Mianmian said, "Dad, Mianmian also wants to jump into the mud pit!" Jiang Changtian
pinched the nose of his daughter and rubbed the girl's head.
Then he reached out and touched his wife's head, and said, "Wipe your hands clean, there is no mud."
Jiang Mianmian: ... Dad, did you wipe your hands with your daughter's nose and hair?
Yin Gu's cold and shivering body warmed up a little at this moment.
Maybe it's different.
He can love, he has a wife and children in his eyes, he is different.
