Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Xu Yun was stunned. He really didn't expect that Aunt Deng was also going to leave.

After a moment of shock, Aunt Deng laughed out loud: "It's not for you, but I'm here to transport grain. Besides, this place is remote, and I feel uncomfortable with the incident of Tan's accountant. I don't feel at ease with Erlang's treasures no matter where I leave them. Let's go to the county town, it's safer!"

When she said this, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile.

Regardless of whether Aunt Deng admitted it or not, Xu Yun still thanked her softly.

Aunt Deng waved her hand.

However, although they decided to leave, whether Accountant Tan would stay or go became a problem.

Finally, Auntie Deng called the villagers to discuss the matter: "Originally, I planned to detain the person until the matter was investigated. But now, I want to go to the county town. What do you think Accountant Tan will do?"

There are actually not many people left in the village.

There are only about forty or fifty people left.

Looking around, children and the elderly still account for half of the people.

Everyone's face was filled with sadness and anxiety.

When they heard that Auntie Deng was leaving, they became even more excited, and some even asked, "Auntie Deng, are you going to abandon us?"

For a moment, there really was a sense of excitement.

Aunt Deng sighed, "I'm not abandoning you. I originally came here to transport grain. Now that this business has stopped, there's no point for me to stay here. Even the other people who came with me will have to leave. We never know when we'll need help, so we have to be prepared."

Everyone then remembered that Aunt Deng was not actually from the village. She came here just to transport grain.

It’s just that Aunt Deng was so capable that she unknowingly became the backbone of everyone.

This is how I felt like I was left behind.

Aunt Deng asked again: "What should we do with Accountant Tan?"

Someone said, "Auntie Deng, we'll deal with you in any way you want! We'll listen to you!"

Aunt Deng did not hesitate and asked the villagers to continue to employ Tan the accountant, and announced to the public that Tan had died. She would take him away when she needed someone else.

In this way, the matter is settled.

That afternoon, Aunt Deng and her people left the village.

There are many empty houses in the county town now, and you can just clean them up and live in them.

Most of these houses were donated by local gentry, and a few were taken back by the county government because the owners had suffered misfortunes.

Xu Yun still lives with Aunt Deng and her two daughters.

This made Xu Yun feel much more at ease.

But now that they were not working, Xu Yun and the other two had no income at all. They could only spend money on food, which was not only expensive but also eye-catching.

In the next few days, although Xu Yun was not in a hurry, Hongyu and Xie Wanqing both felt like they were counting the days.

Even though Xu Yun comforted her several times, it didn't work.

Until this day, Aunt Deng came back with a happy face and brought back good news: "Ah Yun, the matter you mentioned last time has been settled! Someone will lead the troops here tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Xu Yun felt relieved and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth: "That's great."

"Now they are recruiting people. As long as you are strong and can carry food, you can run with us and get two kilograms of food a day!" Aunt Deng said happily: "I have signed up. I will go with you when the time comes."

Xu Yun took a look at Aunt Deng's figure, then looked at his own figure, and gave up the idea of ​​signing up.

None of the three people in her family can earn these two kilograms of food.

After saying this good news, Aunt Deng began to feel melancholy again: "I just don't know when Erlang will reply."

Xu Yun calculated the time and felt that it should be soon.

Aunt Deng happily grabbed Xu Yun's arm and patted it again and again: "Ah Yun, you just wait at home when the time comes. If Erlang comes back with a letter, just open it and read it. Just read it to Hua Niang!"

Xu Yun was somewhat flattered by Aunt Deng's trust in him.

On the second day, the county gate was opened and a group of people galloped in and headed straight for the county government office.

There were probably about forty people, each riding a fine horse, with shining armor and an awe-inspiring presence.

Xu Yun had set up a letter stall on the street these days. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he subconsciously looked up and saw something.

Especially the one in the lead, riding a dark horse with shiny fur. The general on the horse looked very young. Even in armor, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding the spirit and energy unique to young people.

Xu Yun took a quick look and then looked away, guessing in his heart that they were probably the generals that Aunt Deng mentioned, who were responsible for the surprise attack on Luling Mountain.

A group of soldiers rushed past.

All that was left was the dust that flew for a long time.

Xu Yun covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and waited until the dust settled before he dared to take a deep breath - it was necessary to prohibit riding horses in the city.

Worried about what was happening with Aunt Deng, Xu Yun packed up his stall and went home to wait.

This matter had nothing to do with Xu Yun.

But unexpectedly, Aunt Deng came to Xu Yun in a hurry and called out, "Hurry up, come with me. The general wants to ask you something."

Xu Yun had no choice but to follow him.

I thought that what followed would be all kinds of probing and questioning, but I didn't expect that when I followed Auntie Deng all the way to the county government office and just entered the room, Auntie Deng's eyes widened and she shouted to the young general next to County Magistrate Zhou: "Erlang?!"

Erlang? Which Erlang? Could it be the Erlang who wanted to get married? Xu Yun subconsciously looked up.

But I saw a young and handsome face, and a pair of smiling eyes that were almost exactly the same as Aunt Deng's.

Xu Yun was shocked for a moment: In order to get a wife, he actually abused his power for personal gain? !

Then, the young general respectfully and happily called out, "Mother."

Xu Yun didn't know what to say: It's true...

Aunt Deng went up in two steps, pulled her son to his feet, and used her hands to push him around on the spot. Then she shouted happily: "Good, good, good, you haven't lost weight, you've become stronger, stronger."

As she spoke, Auntie Deng's eyes were still red: "But I got a lot darker."

Erlang happily helped Aunt Deng sit down and said with a smile: "How can I not get tanned after training and fighting every day? Besides, I'm not a young lady, why should I be afraid of getting tanned?!"

The shocked County Magistrate Zhou also came to his senses: "Auntie Deng, this is your son?!"

Auntie Deng pulled Erlang and laughed, "Yes, it's my Erlang, Luo Zhan!"

It's a bit funny to say that although Xu Yun sent a letter for Aunt Deng, it was not sent directly to Luo Zhan. Instead, it was sent to someone else for forwarding, because he was afraid that it would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives, and then the letter would not be sent out at all.

Therefore, it was only at this time that Xu Yun learned the name of Aunt Deng’s second son.

This name...

Xu Yun raised his head and looked at the high-spirited and dazzling young general, feeling complicated: It turned out to be him.

She had heard Luo Zhan's name many times. The last time was when she heard the news of his death.

He died in the southern expedition in the second year after the capital was built. He was 22 years old. His body was not found.

Going with him were two thousand elite soldiers under his command.

Of the two thousand Yujie soldiers, none survived.

Yujie is Luo Zhan's title. It is said that he was given this title because he was handsome, elegant, talented and upright.
