Chapter 85 It's Not a Dream
He had long known that the Simon people were ambitious and were recruiting soldiers, storing food, and planning to annex the Great Zhou.
He followed his grandfather's family to guard the southern Guizhou border and repelled Simon's repeated tentative attacks.
Although his grandfather's Qiannan Army won battles, it also lost a lot of soldiers, and each victory was a pyrrhic victory.
The last time, he followed his grandfather into battle, and the two of them worked together to kill two generals of King Jin. King Jin chased them like crazy.
In order to save his grandfather, his uncle was chopped off an arm by the King of Jin. He immediately stepped forward to block the King of Jin, and his uncle was able to save half his life. However, he was no match for the King of Jin and was captured alive...
The handsome man was Bai Erlang. When he thought of his parents and sister whom he hadn't seen for three years, a tear rolled down his eyes without him noticing.
In three days, he will be separated from his parents and other relatives. To repay their kindness in raising him, he can only wait until the next life!
I hope the news of his death in a foreign land won’t reach his family so quickly, otherwise I’m afraid his elderly grandmother won’t be able to bear it.
If she had known it later, she would have lived longer.
And there is his naughty sister. I don’t know when the Zhao family will marry her, and I don’t know whether Zhao Yuntian can treat his sister well.
Little sister, you have to be good in the future. If someone bullies you, remember to find big brother. Second brother can’t protect you anymore!
He still doesn't know that his family was exiled and his younger sister's engagement was broken off.
Bai Jilang fumbled with the puppet in his hand, and his eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as those of his little sister when she was twelve years old.
He asked Princess Asana to find him some wood on the pretext that he wanted to carve a wooden hairpin by hand as a betrothal gift, and he tinkered with it every day.
He polished the hairpins under the supervision of his servants during the day, and discarded several half-finished products. In the end, only one was left, and he spent more than ten days polishing it, but it was still not finished.
At night, after the servants fell asleep, he would get up and polish the doll.
He originally wanted to make a puppet in the shape of his father, mother, grandmother, elder brother and younger sister, to accompany him.
Unfortunately, there was not enough wood, so in the end he had to make the little sister he was most worried about stay by his side, and he could also think of her as his second brother who continued to protect her.
Bai Erlang thought of the happiness of the brief reunion with his family, with a smile on his face. Half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear some unusual noises.
It shouldn’t be the princess’s man, who could it be?
Are you coming here to take his life at this time?
Well, he can still find someone to take the blame for his death before he dies.
Simon people, if he dies, it would be a win if we can save one or two people!
The man was agile and quickly dealt with the people left behind by the princess and soon arrived at the door.
The servant guarding the door fell down with a scream. He silently picked up the unfinished wooden hairpin and hid it in his sleeve. With this alone, it would be no problem for him to knock down several people.
Listen with your ears open.
Here it comes, here it comes!
He suddenly stood up, pounced on the person, and stabbed him with the wooden hairpin in his hand without mercy!
The man dodged his attack nimbly and raised his hand to block his attack.
"Second brother?!"
Bai Erlang's hand stopped in mid-air, and he looked at the person who came in the bright light reflected by the snow on the windowsill.
"Little sister?"
"How is this possible? I must be dreaming!"
Bai Erlang's attacking hand softened and he gave a bitter smile.
This was a scene that had appeared in his dreams countless times, and he actually believed it!
"Brother, look at me. I'm Li'er. I'm here to save you. This isn't a dream!"
Bai Li was anxious. Could her second brother have been trapped and gone mad? She grabbed his hand and shook it, causing Bai Erlang to stagger back and forth, and finally regain some consciousness.
"Little sister, is it really you?"
Bai Jilang bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain made him feel real.
"It's me. Can you still walk? We have to get out of here quickly."
Bai Li first looked him up and down and saw that apart from having some difficulty walking, he was fine.
"you……"
Bai Jilang had too many questions, but he knew now was not the time to ask.
"The princess's people will soon find out what's happening here, so leave now!"
"My legs can't walk yet, so I can't hold you back. I can rest in peace now that you're here. Let's go!"
Bai Li walked around the room to see if there were any traps or hidden weapons, as her second brother was talking in a confused manner.
"Brother, what the hell are you talking about closing your eyes? Hurry up and put on your clothes!"
There was heavy snow outside, and her second brother was wearing a thin cotton coat, so he would be frozen into an ice sculpture if he went out.
"I, I didn't."
Bai Li was stunned for a moment before he realized that what his second brother meant was that he didn’t have any clothes for going out, such as coats or thick cotton-padded jackets.
Well, he was trapped in a room with a burning charcoal fire and didn't need to wear a coat.
Moreover, perhaps the princess did this on purpose to prevent him from escaping.
She bent down and rummaged through the servant on the ground for a while, and took off a half-worn cotton jacket for him to put on.
"Make do with it for now, and buy more when you get out."
Bai Li said as she helped him tidy up his clothes, "Wow, her second brother is much taller than her. With her strength, she can carry him on her back or hug him."
But as the leader... wouldn't he have to be dragged half on her and half on the ground?
It seems impossible just by thinking about it, let’s think of other ways!
It’s not that she can’t put it in a space, the key is that she doesn’t want her family to know her secret.
He searched the room and saw the low couch suddenly light up.
She stepped forward, grabbed the couch, lifted it up, and tore it apart to make a crutch, which she handed to her second brother. She put it under her armpit to try it out, and the height was just right.
"Let's go!"
Bai Erlang watched her busying around the whole time and felt like he was in the clouds, a little unreal.
Bai Li helped him out of the room, stepped over the corpses on the ground, and walked straight out.
"Where are we going now, little sister?"
"Let's leave here first and go back to the Simon capital."
According to the original plan, Bai Li would immediately leave Simon on horseback after rescuing the people, but now it was obviously impossible to leave due to the heavy snow, so he decided to find a place to hide and wait until the snow stopped before setting off.
The reason why she chose to hide in the capital of Simon instead of other places was because Princess Asana had some concerns in the capital, and King Jin would never have thought that the person they were looking for was right under his nose. This is called the darkest place under the lamp.
Bai Erlang left the yard that had trapped him for three months. The snow fell on his face and hands, and he felt the biting cold. Only then did he believe that he was not dreaming, and he had really escaped!
Bai Li used his feet to push the snow over the bloodstains on the ground and then dragged the body into the house.
After doing all this, he took out a white membrane from his arms and wrapped the two of them from head to toe, then helped his second brother leave.
Behind them, heavy snow fell, quickly covering their footprints...
"Little sister, what kind of cloth is this? Why is it so warm?"
Bai Erlang was shivering with cold when he first went out. After covering himself with this thing, his body gradually warmed up, and he even began to sweat slightly after walking for a while!
