Wife is an enemy general

001.

Li Mu looked at the suicide note in his hand quietly, and after a while, he moved his fingers lightly, folded the paper again, and stuffed it back into the previous envelope.

He pursed his lips slightly, except for that layer of paleness, there was no expression on his face.

Zhong Xiuyuan stood quietly by the side and watched, he originally thought that Li Mu would be angry or sad because of this incident, no matter what, it would not be such a blank expression in his eyes.

The him at this moment made Zhong Xiuyuan feel scared.

Because at this moment, he was exactly the same as the doctor before when he was staring at the sky in a daze, as if he was an empty shell without a soul, and there was nothing in his eyes and heart.

Zhong Xiuyuan felt as if he was suffocating, he took a step forward and wanted to say something to Li Mu, but Li Mu put the envelope away, put it on the table, then turned around and walked out the door.

Zhong Xiuyuan's pale face became more and more bloodless. After he watched Li Mu go out, he followed him.

Li Mu didn't make a big fuss. After he went out quietly, he put the pannier he had brought up from the mountain aside and put it away. He went to look at the newly bought ducks and fed them some. water.

Li Mu was not compatible with ducks by nature, as if Li Mu and that doctor Zuo Yi had no enmity or resentment and they couldn't get along either.

As soon as Li Mu approached the duck cage, the goose-yellow fluffy ducklings in the cage stretched their necks one by one, quacking at Li Mu.

Even though he is only a small one, he is still stupid, he walks unsteadily, and he doesn't know where the courage comes from, but he dares to call at Li Mu.

Li Mu quietly stood beside the cage with a water ladle, watching the ducks barking at him or going to drink.

He never expected that doctor's death, and he never even thought about it.

Among the three families he found, the one he was least worried about was Zuo Yi, because he was a man, and because he was stronger than the other two families.

Except for the fact that he laughed and cried when he first heard the news of Lao Hei's death, he has been very quiet for the rest of the time. Li Mu always thought that he had recovered, and given him some time, he would definitely recover. but……

Thinking of Zuo Yi's face, Li Mu's chaotic brain finally cleared up a bit.

He thought carefully about what happened during this period, he thought Zuo Yi was strong, he thought he could recover by himself, so he never thought about whether he had such an idea...

Zuo Yi is not bad-hearted but has a rambunctious temper. After he ran to this mountain to find a place to live, he did not miss opportunities to retaliate against what happened before, but Li Mu never gave him a chance, which made him very angry.

During that time, he didn't seem to be affected by what happened to Lao Hei at all, and he was still laughing and joking every day.

Li Mu carefully recalled those memories that he didn't bother to remember at that time, he didn't know what he wanted to recall, maybe he wanted to recall some signs that he didn't notice?

But after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember exactly what kind of expression Zuo Yi had on his face that night when he exchanged glasses with Zhong Xiuyuan in the yard with his slightly drunk spirit.Is it grief, or is it laughing at them like everyone else?

Li Mu stood there in a daze, thinking about the past in confusion, but the position of his throat and heart seemed to have come to his senses belatedly, a bitter smell like coptis permeated, making him There was bitterness in his throat.

He felt that he should be sad about Zuo Yi's matter, but apart from the bitterness in his throat and heart, his eyes were actually dry.

Thinking about it now, he would have had a chance to notice all this.

Zuo Yi planted trees, he was in a daze, he suddenly came to teach Zhong Xiuyuan how to learn medicine, since he came back to the town, everything he did was explaining the funeral, the same thing, just waiting for the explanation to finish You can die in peace.

Li Mu thought that the death news he brought back would be a relief to these people, and he had always believed in this, and he always wanted himself to believe that was the case.

Then, although Bai Osmanthus was heartbroken, and although she was obviously aged and thinner after that, she was still alive and strong.

Li Mu didn't know if the mother and son of the Su family became what they are now because they had gone through too many things during their escape, but after learning of Su Dayong's death, they cried and cursed bitterly. Support each other to live.

Seeing the situation of the two families getting better gradually, Li Mu gradually convinced himself that what he did was a good thing.

He deceived himself and others to believe it was true, so he never thought that the news of his death would be the last straw that crushed Zuo Yi.

Maybe they don't need to cut off all hope of death at all, they would rather have the slightest expectation, so that they have a reason to continue living.

Even knowing that this hope is very slim, even knowing that this may just be their wishful thinking.

After a long time, maybe they will not be so attached, and slowly, they will forget about it.

"Li Mu..." Zhong Xiuyuan followed behind Li Mu.

His eyes were already scarlet, and he looked at the expressionless Li Mu nervously and uneasily. He didn't know what happened to Li Mu, but he had a very bad premonition.

The news of Li Mu's death may have become the last straw that crushed Zuo Yi, but at the same time, Zuo Yi's death also became the deadliest straw for Li Mu, who was already overwhelmed.

Li Mu was standing on the spot at the moment, his back was straight, but it was already crumbling.

The darkness hidden in Li Mu's heart was much heavier than what he showed on the surface, Zhong Xiuyuan had already noticed this.

He didn't know much about what Li Mu had experienced before, but he could see that the reason why Li Mu wanted to make money and start a family was not because he wanted to get better by himself, or because he was full of hope for life.

It's because he still has an unfinished business in his heart supporting him, and it's because he still wants to bring all the news of death and complete the agreement.

Zhong Xiuyuan has never told anyone, but he has been secretly worried. On the one hand, he hopes that Li Mu can finish this matter as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he is afraid of knowing what will happen to Li Mu after these things are done.

Because Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know whether he would live a simple life after putting down all the burdens, or...

"...What's going on?" After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xiuyuan heard Li Mu's question.

Zhong Xiuyuan's throat that had also become bitter took a long time to recover. He said slowly, "...we found him when we went down the mountain and explained why we came. He agreed to let us stay...yesterday he didn't come We didn't pay much attention when we came out of the room, seeing that he didn't go out for dinner today, I knocked on the door..."

Zuo Yi has a cheerful personality, and Zhong Xiuyuan never thought of this before, so after knocking on the door this morning and no one answered, he left without thinking, and went again at noon, and he didn't break in until night .

When he broke in, Zuo Yi was fully dressed, lying motionless on the bed.

At first he thought Zuo Yi was sick, so he yelled in the room for a while, but failed to wake him up, and then went up to pat him on the face.

The moment he touched his skin and found that his body was cold and stiff, Zhong Xiuyuan only thought about it.

Then, they found the letter that had been prepared a long time ago on the table.

Zuo Yi went there the night before, probably because he had taken the medicine he prepared himself. He went there without pain, very peacefully, and there seemed to be a smile on his face and mouth.

Li Mu listened quietly, and after listening to Zhong Xiuyuan's words, he put the ladle in his hand aside.

He quietly went to Uncle Hong's house on the opposite side, found Uncle Hong whose eyes were still red, told him about this, and asked him to see if Yun'er woke up later, he was going down the mountain now.

The sun had already set at this moment, and it was probably dark when we went down the mountain and arrived at the town.

But Zuo Yi was probably the only ones left in this world who he knew, and because of his relationship with Lao Hei, it was impossible for him to let him just let him go.

Uncle Hong was also very surprised by the news.

But the Si people have gone, and it is useless to say more.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Mu went down the mountain, and when he found the medical clinic in the town, it was completely dark.

The night was very dark, without moon and starry sky, as if dark clouds were overwhelming.

Zuo Yi was just like Zhong Xiuyuan said before, he went very peacefully, with a faint smile on his face.

Li Mu sat in that room for a while, and then went to find a room next to him to tidy up for the night.The next morning, he closed the door of the clinic and went up the mountain, and asked Uncle Hong and Xu Tian to help him prepare for the burial.

Although Li Mu has been here for a long time, this is the first time he has experienced such a thing, so he has almost no experience, so he can only ask these two people for help.

There are not so many complicated things in the funeral in the mountains, but even if it is simple, you have to choose a day for the funeral.

If you want to do something, you have to find a special person to help you watch the yin house and the day when you are buried.

Uncle Hong is familiar with this matter, because he sent away his son a few years ago, so after temporarily handing Yuner over to Xu Tian to take care of him, he went down the mountain by himself and found someone to come up the mountain.

The funeral was decided to be held on the mountain.

According to what Zuo Yi said, he was buried under the two peach trees he planted and marked.

Li Mu carried Zuo Yi's body on his back. After carrying it, he set up a mourning hall in the main room of his house and lit the lamps.

Zuo Yi left suddenly, and everyone seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn't know where to start. For a moment, there was only a thick layer of dark and sad atmosphere on the mountain.

On the other side of the mountain, in the medical clinic, Li Mu also hung white cloths.

Li Mu thought that Zuo Yi was the only doctor in the town, and that he was a pretty good person on weekdays, no matter what he did, he would attract some people to mourn him, but he knelt in the mountains for a few days, but not many people came to mourn him.

In the empty mourning hall, only their own family came and went.

Uncle Hong comforted Li Mu, saying that the mountain has not been peaceful recently, and many well-connected people in the town have already collected their things and fled.

He said that the battlefield had shifted to this side, that Daning had been forced into a panic this time, and that the large area of ​​the town where they lived would probably become a battlefield in a short time.

Because of this, he said, no one came.

Li Mu listened dumbly to Uncle Hong's words. In fact, he didn't think much of it. It doesn't matter if no one comes or someone comes. Everyone is already dead, so what's the use?

And Zuo Yi would not care about those insignificant people...

What he cared about was always only one person.

002.

Li Muan quietly guarded the coffin for several days in front of the mourning hall, even if no one came, he still quietly finished guarding the coffin.

On the day of the burial, the weather was fine, there was no rainy haze, but it was a rare good weather in late autumn and early winter.

A few of them carried the coffin up the mountain, then listened to the people who were invited by Uncle Hong crying and talking beside them, and then went to the soil.

Li Mu didn't care about the opinions of those who were invited to help look at the private house, and stubbornly let Zuo Yi's tomb be buried under two peach trees, and made him face the direction where he often stared in a daze.

After putting up the soil and building the grave, Uncle Hong silently helped lead those who practiced things down the mountain, and helped sort out the broken pieces, and sent those people away.

Zuoyi's funeral was very quiet, not many people came to express their condolences. On the other hand, it was also because the adults were relatively silent, as if they were not holding a funeral but a quiet farewell party. Only a few children had red eye sockets from beginning to end. Red.

When there was really no sound of speaking in the mountain, only Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan were left in the mountain.

The peach trees that Li Mu had planted before had all begun to take root and sprout now, and many of them had sprouted long branches.

In a large peach grove, there is only one new grave alone.

On the new soil, large pieces of round and white paper money were scattered.

Li Mu stared blankly at the solitary grave with a blank expression, wondering if he should set up another clothes tomb?These two people have wasted most of their lives, maybe he should set up a tomb for Lao Hei, so that the two can be reunited no matter what.

It's just that Zuo Yi didn't mention it before he died, and it wasn't written in his suicide note. Presumably he didn't believe it.

What's more, he doesn't have anything related to Lao Hei, even if he wants to set up a tomb, he can't help it.

If it was Likong's tomb, he was afraid that Zuoyi would get angry when he saw it.

Zuo Yi always fought against him when he was alive, but Zuo Yi never won once, instead he was always jumping his feet in anger.Now that Zuo Yi is dead, Li Mu thought that it would be fine for him to admit defeat once and follow him once.

But thinking about it this way, he had to go back and start to struggle with Zuo Yi's character, whether Zuo Yi wanted him to build an empty tomb or not.

Li Mu noticed movement in the sleeve next to his hand, and when he looked back, he realized that the sky was already dark.

Zhong Xiuyuan stood beside him with red eyes, holding his sleeve with one hand.

Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, then at the sky, turned around, and prepared to go home.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't leave, he stood where he was until he straightened the sleeves of Li Mu who wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Li Mu, who was about to go home, looked back at Zhong Xiuyuan with some doubts, wondering what was wrong with him.

But when he stopped and looked back, the latter suddenly took two big steps forward and rushed in front of him, stretched out his hands, buried his head in his arms and hugged him tightly.

Li Mu was a little surprised by Zhong Xiuyuan's actions, he lowered his head slightly, "What's wrong."

It was only when Li Mu made a sound that he realized that his voice was a little hoarse, but this was normal. He had been busy guarding the spirit for the past few days and didn't sleep much.

But Zhong Xiuyuan trembled a bit after hearing his voice, and then the strength of his arms around Li Mu became tighter, as if he wanted to lock the person in his arms.

"Huh?" Li Mu became more and more puzzled.It was getting dark, and the peach grove was still far away from where they lived, and it would be dark on the way back if they didn't hurry up.

"Li Mu..." Zhong Xiuyuan tremblingly opened his mouth, he raised his head, and looked at Li Mu with those red eyes that seemed to be extremely frightened, pleadingly, "Don't be like this, okay?"

Li Mu was a little surprised, but also a little confused, what happened to Zhong Xiuyuan?

Zhong Xiuyuan's bloodless lips trembled for a while, and then his whole body trembled. He was on the verge of falling, his eyes were full of fear and despair, as if he would collapse and faint at any moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Mu was even more surprised.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak any more, he just looked at the person in front of him with almost pleading eyes.

Since Zuo Yi's accident, he has been following Li Mu every day for a period of time, even when eating and going to the toilet, he has not left half a step.Because he was afraid, afraid that Li Mu would also be like Zuo Yi in silence...

In the past ten days, Li Mu was unusually quiet and silent. He hardly said a few words, and the few words he said were related to the funeral.

The rest of the time, when he was busy, he would be busy with other people, and when he was not busy, he would quietly watch the spirit, his eyes were empty, and his whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan felt very uncomfortable, his heart ached so badly, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch from the side.

Li Mu seemed to have noticed something, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "It's okay, don't think too much, let's go back..."

Zhong Xiuyuan's face became paler, and the back of Li Mu's hand was already throbbing violently due to excessive force.

"If you don't go back, it will be dark." Li Mu looked at the sky again.

It was getting dark late in the mountains, and it was also getting dark quickly. In just a moment, the road under their feet was already somewhat blurred.

It's not easy to walk in the mountain, and there is no road on the part of their peach blossom forest down the mountain. The ground is full of grass, potholes and slopes. It is dangerous to walk around if you can't see clearly.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't dare to let go, he always felt scared, and always felt that if he let go, Li Mu might disappear all at once.

He always felt that he was extremely lucky to meet Li Mu and have such an experience with Li Mu.He even once felt that if retribution really came, as long as it didn't involve Li Mu, he would be able to accept it calmly, because it was what he deserved.

But he was wrong, he was not as great and sensible as he thought.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want Li Mu to die either!

He wants to live, to be by Li Mu's side, with rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, to be busy with him in and out of the mountains, to be with him until he grows old.

If they are old, so old that they are really going to die, then he hopes that Li Mu can die before him, so that Li Mu will not have to go through these pains now, and then he can immediately drop everything to find him like his master Zuo Yi .

He had never hated this big battle so much before, but now he hated this ten-year-long war so much that he hated it crazily.

This war was too cruel, brought too much sadness and helplessness, and took away too many things.

It tortured Li Mu and many others into Li Mu's current appearance, but it still didn't stop, and wanted to continue.

"Li Mu, don't leave me, okay..." Zhong Xiuyuan buried his head in Li Mu's arms, he sucked in Li Mu's breath, Li Mu's breath would always calm him down and make him feel at ease, but now The breath made him more afraid.

Li Mu didn't speak, just looked down at the person in his arms.

"Promise me, Li Mu." Zhong Xiuyuan begged and opened his mouth, he couldn't care about anything else, as long as Li Mu could promise him, he didn't care about anything.

"Li Mu..." Zhong Xiuyuan murmured, but his body was trembling.

Li Mu quietly looked at his chest, his fluffy head with his hair rubbed in a mess, inexplicably recalled the bunch of disheveled upturned hair on the back of Zhong Xiuyuan's neck before.

When Li Mu came back to his senses, he had already raised his hand and lifted the hair on the back of the man's neck.

Zhong Xiuyuan noticed Li Mu's sudden weird movement, he was stunned for a moment, he raised his head in a daze, his scarlet eyes were still filled with water vapor, but he instinctively reached out to touch the back of his neck .

He hadn't recovered from the sadness just now, so at this moment he couldn't understand Li Mu's actions at all, and he just looked at Li Mu blankly.

There was a little regret in Li Mu's eyes, he just lifted Zhong Xiuyuan's hair from the back of his neck and the man raised his head, he didn't even have time to look carefully to see if there was still a small bunch of hair sticking out there.

Zhong Xiuyuan was at a loss, his eyes were red, and he was covering the back of his neck with his right hand, but his eyes were strangely looking at Li Mu, who already had brilliance in his eyes, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

Li Mu withdrew his gaze from his neck with regret, and looked into Zhong Xiuyuan's eyes. After staring at each other quietly for a moment, Li Mu waved to the retreating person.

Zhong Xiuyuan became more and more inexplicably ignorant, but instinctively walked towards Li Mu obediently, and stood within Li Mu's reach.

Li Mu, who originally only wanted to ask this person to come over and say a few words, felt an itch in his heart when he saw this person approaching.

Under the man's puzzled gaze, he turned him half a circle, made him turn his back to him, then lifted the hair on the back of his neck, and while the man was waiting more and more confused and uneasy, he stretched With his fingers, he gently touched the handful of curled hair he found.

That handful of hair has grown a lot longer than before, and now the tip has drooped slightly, as if it won't be long before they will be pressed by other hairs to shrink their corners and become normal.

"Huh?" Zhong Xiuyuan was distraught and worried just now, but now he could only cover the back of his neck with his hands, and stared at a pair of ignorant eyes.

"Going back." Li Mu led the way and walked down the mountain.

Seeing Li Mu leave, Zhong Xiuyuan looked back and turned half a circle before realizing that he couldn't see the back of his head.

He quickly reached out to touch it again, but after touching it for a long time, he didn't know what Li Mu was doing just now.Only in this way, it took him a while to remember what he was doing just now.

He wanted to say something more, but Li Mu had already walked a long way down the mountain, so he could only restrain his extra thoughts and rush to catch up.

After returning home, Zhong Xiuyuan fetched water from the well and tilted his head to look at it for a long time, and then called Zhong Manlu to help him look, but the two of them pondered for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out what Li Mu was looking at.

003.

Zuoyi's funeral is over, but the depressing atmosphere of parting in the mountains has not disappeared, but has become more and more gloomy.

Since the news of the shift of the battlefield here, many people in the town have collected their things and fled. The big town has become much quieter and more bleak now.

Even in their village on the mountain, where there were only about twenty households, some people had recently collected their things and wanted to leave.

When Li Mu came back to his senses and turned his attention to this matter, it was already time for Xu Tian and the others to say goodbye to him after collecting his things. They were going to take refuge at Xu Tian's natal house for a while, which was a short distance from here. The distance is a little safer than here.

In fact, wherever they go in Daning today, there is not much difference. Unless they have the financial resources and ability to cross half of Daning to the other side of the border, they may be a little safer.

But they have to go, Gouwazi is only five years old this year, he is still young, they can't just sit and wait for the big battle to come.

Apparently it wasn't just one or two families who had such thoughts. After ten days or so, only about half of the people were left in the mountain.

When Li Mu took the duck eggs that had been delayed for a while down the mountain to sell, the stores that he originally cooperated with were closed, and notices were posted on the doors to leave, but there was no return date.

Li Mu carried all those eggs back to the mountain, wove baskets and got some leaves to store them side by side.

The world outside the mountain is surging, but the ducks in the mountain are still full of food and sleep every day, and they are still laying eggs every day. Within two days, Li Mu has to weave a new basket.

The conscription order has come down, and people in the town below the mountain have already begun to arrest people, but now everyone is walking around, and there are not many people who can be arrested after making a fuss.

After that, Li Mu remained silent, as if he had returned to his appearance when he just retired from the barracks. He often stood in his yard and looked towards the peach blossom forest towards the battlefield with empty eyes.

Zhong Xiuyuan still didn't dare to stay too far away from Li Mu, he always followed Li Mu, as long as he couldn't see anyone for a while, he would be nervous and look for someone everywhere.

Another ten days later, when the first snow fell in the mountains, news came from the bottom of the mountain that the army might be here in about ten days.

After hearing the news, Li Mu stood quietly on the mountain and looked into the distance for a long time. The next day, he started to pack his things and prepare to leave.

In fact, he doesn't have many places to go. If he wants to go, he must take those ducks away before he has no other choice. Therefore, the only direction he can go is the extremely ferocious deep mountains and wild forests behind him.

Go to the place that looks isolated and bad, and then pray, pray that the battlefield will not spread too deep into the mountains.

After hiding all the things and duck eggs that could not be taken away in the cellar dug in advance in the mountains, Li Mu packed up all the edible and warm things, and piled them on the table in the main room, full of a lot.

He also cleaned up Uncle Hong and Yun'er's share.

Since the accident, there has been no food to buy at the foot of the mountain. Although Uncle Hong's family has some stock in their own land, they can't last too long, because this battle may only last for a month or it may last for ten years.

After packing up, he drove all the ducks from the foot of the mountain to the nearby area. Li Mu distributed the luggage on the table to the brothers Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu, as well as Bai Osmanthus, mother and son of the Su family, and asked everyone to carry the luggage on their backs. with.

"Uncle Hong." Li Mu handed a piece of luggage to Uncle Hong, but Uncle Hong didn't pick it up.

He quietly looked at Li Mu who had obviously lost weight during this time, his eyes were filled with pain and complicated emotions.

Anyone who is familiar with Li Mu can feel that something is wrong with Li Mu. Uncle Hong has known him for the longest time among all the people, so how could he not know?

Standing by the side, Yun'er raised her head and pulled Uncle Lahong's clothes, seeming a little puzzled.

Noticing his movements, Uncle Hong lowered his head to look at Yun'er. After a long time, he asked softly, "Yun'er, do you like Uncle?"

Yun'er heard the words and looked back at Li Mu. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could feel the different atmosphere on Li Mu's body. After a while, his eyes turned red, and he knew better than before that he would never be able to see for the rest of his life. Still sad.

Uncle Hong squatted down and looked at him at the same level. He gently and lovingly stretched out his hand to straighten Yun'er's hair, and wiped away the tears on his gradually fleshy face.

After a while, he said softly to Yun'er: "In the future, you must listen to uncle's words carefully, do you understand?"

Yun'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately frightened and grabbed Uncle Hong tightly, and tears ran across her face that had just been wiped clean.

"Uncle Hong?!" Li Mu was also taken aback.

Uncle Hong won't go with them?

Uncle Hong waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and he looked at Yun'er in front of him quietly for a long time, saying goodbye.

Li Mu opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Take care of him for me, eyes... eyes for him! I know you still keep the medicine secretly." After another long time, Uncle Hong rudely broke away Yun'er's hand that was holding him, and cried Yoona, who was out of breath, put it in Li Mu's arms.

"In three months, I will come back to pick him up again." After saying this, Uncle Hong turned around and strode towards the snow-covered door without looking back.

Yun'er suddenly cried even more miserably. He pushed Li Mu away with his hands, stretched out his small body to grab Uncle Hong, "Grandpa... Grandpa..."

Seeing the back of Uncle Hong leaving resolutely, and hearing the cries of Yun'er in his arms, Li Mu handed Yun'er to Zhong Xiuyuan for him to hold, while he quickly followed out.

Now it is bitter winter, five or six days of heavy snow has sealed the mountain, looking around from the top of the mountain, everything that the naked eye can see is covered with snow, as if the world is so pale in the first place.

Li Mu walked quickly in the snow, his feet were icy cold, and his breath turned white.

"Uncle Hong!" Li Mu quickly caught up with the person who was about to go down the mountain.

Uncle Hong who was walking in front paused when he heard the sound, he stopped and looked back at Li Mu.

Uncle Hong's eyes were red, and he obviously felt uncomfortable about the decision to keep Yun'er and make it with himself.

"Uncle Hong, you..." Li Mu caught up with this man, but he didn't know what to say.

This world is too big, he is just an ant in this huge world, he can't control the overall situation without a single soldier, he can't even change anything.

Uncle Hong smiled. He looked at Li Mu with the same kindness and distress in his eyes as when he looked at Yun'er. He always regarded Li Mu as his son.How many parents of your own child can bear to watch him suffer so much but have nowhere to vent, so he can only grit his teeth and endure?

"Don't worry, I won't die." Uncle Hong smiled, and he reached out and patted Li Mu's shoulder.

He is old, and Li Mu is in his prime.When the two stood together, he was half a head shorter than Li Mu.

"Even if it is death, I will find a way to keep Yun'er." He was not willing to let Yun'er get involved in those things. He once swore that he would never let him get involved in these things in this life, he just wanted him to be an ordinary person .

But the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he didn't want to see Li Mu being overwhelmed by those things day by day, and he didn't want to see Li Mu so painful but speechless.

Moreover, this matter must be done by someone, and it must be done by someone.

Li Mu opened his mouth, his face became paler.

Seeing his appearance, Uncle Hong suddenly smiled relaxedly, "If you really want to help me, you promise me one thing."

Li Mu endured the bitterness in his throat, and said word by word: "Say it."

"Help me take care of Yun'er. If something really happens to me, or if I don't live long enough for him to grow up, you will take care of him for me." Uncle Hong looked into Li Mu's eyes seriously, this was his only request, It was also his only worry in this world besides Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled wryly, even if Uncle Hong didn't say anything about it, he would definitely do it.

"Okay, I promise. Don't worry if I'm here." Li Mu looked back into Uncle Hong's eyes and answered seriously.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Uncle Hong suddenly laughed. He took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at the scroll with a complicated expression, and reached out to take it after a long time.

"It's 15 years old. If I don't live until he is 15 years old or something happens early, you can help me take care of him until he grows up and can live well by himself." Uncle Hong's eyes were gentle and tender. Trust, as if just talking about an ordinary thing.

After Li Mu saw clearly what was written on the scroll, his expression became dignified and somewhat bitter.

"He is five years old now, ten years old, ten years old, I just want you to keep him for ten years and be with him for ten years." Uncle Hong said.

Li Mu took the scroll, but did not hand it back to Uncle Hong, but held it tightly in his hand.

When he looked up at Uncle Hong again, his eyes became more complicated and dignified.

In the snow, when his hands and feet were freezing cold and he lost consciousness, he spoke again, and said with a wry smile: "... Let me be a regent and assistant for a child of a few years old, why don't you just give the dragon chair to me?" I got it?"

Ten years ago in Daning, before the Great War broke out, when the first emperor was still alive, the country was named Hong.

After Li Mu retired and returned to this mountain, he had doubts like this when he met Zhong Xiuyuan, but he was really sure when those people found Uncle Hong.

When Uncle Hong heard the words, he was immediately amused by Li Mu, "You want it? I'll give it to you if you want it, but I'm still worried that no one will want it."

The bitterness in Li Mu's eyes was even worse, "I'm just a villager who only knows how to raise ducks..."

But Uncle Hong laughed and said, "Then you raise him like a duck. I'm not afraid that you raise him like a duck. I'm afraid that he doesn't have that understanding, and he won't be able to learn a ten-thousandth of the spirituality of your ducks in the end."

Li Mu was speechless.

But Uncle Hong said earnestly: "I know what kind of person you are, and I have always been relieved of the people you brought out. Everyone can see what kind of character Gong Yinyin and Zhong Manlu had before. " After a pause, he said again: "I am not as good as you in raising things, otherwise I would not be here."

When the name of Daning Kingdom was still "Hong", the first emperor Lin Hong had three sons, the prince Lin Shang, the second son Lin Mo, and the youngest son Lin Yu.

The second son Lin Mo died suddenly on the eve of becoming the crown prince 13 years ago. Three years after Lin Shang became the crown prince, the former emperor Lin Hong suddenly died of a serious illness. At the same time, the ten-year war kicked off.Five years after the war, youngest son Lin Yu disappeared.

Li Mu still didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Li Mu didn't speak, Uncle Hong smiled and said, "You still don't believe my vision?"

He was not a good emperor, he failed to raise and teach Daning an excellent heir to succeed him, and he left Daning in dire straits for ten years.

He was not a good father either. Ten years ago he hesitated on the eve of becoming the crown prince and killed his second son. Five years later, his third son's family was ruined and only his orphan remained.Ten years later, he was going to lead half of the civil and military ministers to take the head of his only remaining eldest son.

But in the case of Li Mu, he dared to say that he would never be wrong!

Li Mu originally didn't know what to say, but now he could only smile wryly.
