Chapter 402 Extra 2
"Sister-in-law, you are single-handedly supporting the huge Shouchun and taking care of Yijun. Do you feel it is hard?" He Zhaojun held the toddler girl in her arms. This was her second brother's posthumous child, who had just celebrated her third birthday.
Yijun smiled at everyone he met, his large eyes curved like crescent moons all day, a stark resemblance to his younger brother's appearance when he was alive. Four years had flown by in the blink of an eye, ever since the earthquake in Shouchun that year, when his younger brother, He Chuan, had been buried in mud while trying to help the people there.
He Zhaojun stood on the city wall, still having difficulty breathing. Her second brother had single-handedly kept the danger outside the city wall, while her second sister-in-law had kept the hope of life within.
During these four years, the mineral veins near Shouchun remained inexhaustible, but with the He family's garrison and the second sister-in-law bringing Yijun, a still young female marquis, they were able to protect the peace of the people in the area.
"It's okay. I always thought that in that grave were only Brother Chuan's clothes. Maybe he had escaped, but just like you did back then, he forgot about me for a moment and forgot the way home. If I keep waiting, I will always get what I want."
He Zhaojun shook her rattle, teasing Yijun, wanting to persuade her sister-in-law, but unable to speak. The second sister-in-law was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She looked weak, but she had the character of a general. Before Yunying married, Jiang Si's name was also well-known in Hexi.
"Who put the wild fruits on my second brother's tombstone?" He Zhaojun originally held a telescope to show Yijun, but she saw at a glance that in addition to her sister-in-law's flowers and wine, there were also several wild fruits on the cold tombstone, some red and some green, which looked very eye-catching.
Jiang Si shook her head. "Perhaps it's the hunters in the mountains. When the people in the city want to remember Achuan, they go to the ancestral hall and don't bother him at his grave... When it rains, they receive a straw raincoat, and in winter, they receive a sheepskin. Perhaps someone is helping to take care of Achuan."
As the two were talking, He Zhaojun heard a whistle behind her. She leaned over the wall and looked down. She saw a young man in bright clothes, riding a horse, calling his friends and watching her from the foot of the city wall.
He Zhaojun waved at him: "Li Fu! How do you have time to come here?" She handed her sleepy niece to her sister-in-law, ran a few steps, went down the city wall, and came to Li Fu, only to see that this group of people were surrounding a cage, whistling and shouting, looking a bit like hooligans.
Li Fu coughed lightly, and these knights and swordsmen of different heights, weights and bodies immediately quieted down and looked at He Zhaojun.
Li Fu pointed at the iron cage and said, "Some of my brothers like to collect rare and exotic things. They heard that there are wild men who eat raw meat and drink blood in the mountains outside Shouchun City, so they want to capture them and sell them for a good price."
"I led my team and wandered around the mountains for several days. Under the siege of more than a dozen people, I finally caught this nimble wild man. He moved so fast, like a monkey, that ordinary people couldn't touch him at all. Fortunately, he seemed to be lame, which gave me a chance."
He Zhaojun looked at these excited heroes, she was also very helpless, looking into the cage, the wild man was covered with black hair, only a human shape could be seen, with a messy beard, she didn't know what species it was.
"Then why do you show it to me?" He Zhaojun looked at Li Fu. She hadn't seen him for a few years. He looked more handsome. He had been wandering around in the martial arts world for many years, which made him look more weathered, but the years had also condensed his experience into knowledge.
Li Fu raised his head and said: "The barbarians are also the product of Shouchun, so we must at least say hello to the female marquis here." As he said this, he bowed and looked at Jiang Si who had just walked down from the top of the city and Yijun who was already asleep, and whispered a polite word.
Yijun seemed to sense something and suddenly burst into tears, causing the gruff swordsmen to hold their breath, not daring to breathe. Meanwhile, Cisao stood there, as if struck by lightning. She stared at the barbarian's broken leg, her feet rooted to the spot, refusing to move another step.
He Zhaojun glanced at Shouchun City behind her and felt that everything was God's will. Some people can spend the rest of their lives relying solely on love. If the heavens are kind, they will not let lovers be separated.
