absence

Ye Xiu who was waiting was also serious.

"Blue River, if one day I can't be by your side, you have to protect yourself."

what?

Blue River was still in shock, but unexpectedly Ye Xiu stood up and walked to the bow of the boat to face him, then his figure began to blur, getting farther and farther away from Blue River, as if he was about to disappear on the water.

do not!

Lan He was anxious, but Ye Xiu didn't tease him this time.

The person who had been by his side for a long time inadvertently was about to disappear.He chased to the bow of the boat and grabbed Ye Xiu's hand with all his strength, but he couldn't continue to follow Ye Xiu. One step further was the river, and his anxiety turned into anger and sadness.

do not go!

What responded to him was Ye Xiu's smile, as usual, lazy but warm.

The strength of clenching that hand increased, and the stubbornness of not wanting to admit defeat.

"Hiss! When I fell asleep, my hands are still so strong, I'm pinching brother to death..."

Lan He blinked, and saw the person sitting by his window clearly through the faint light outside the window.

Ye Xiu in front of him looked mocking and dissatisfied.

"Ye Xiu..."

Ye Xiu didn't speak, but looked at Lan He and signaled that he was listening.

"My father passed away. I thought I was homeless... Fortunately, you were willing to take me in."

The self-deprecating meaning in the words was clearly a cover-up, and Ye Xiu felt another throbbing pain in his heart when he heard it.Obviously he was the one who borne the most pain in the whole thing, and he was the least willing to accept the reality, but he still controlled his emotions in a harsh way, not letting anyone worry about him, and not letting anyone see through that he was broken heart of.

Ye Xiu didn't want to listen to such cover-ups anymore, every sentence was tormenting.

"Okay, I haven't closed my eyes for a few days, save some strength, it's just past zero, close your eyes and have a good sleep, what's the matter here?"

After Ye Xiu said this, the tiredness accumulated in the past few days flooded back like a floodgate, letting him know that he really should take a good rest.

He closed his eyes again and pinched Ye Xiu's hand with his fingers.

"Thank you."

However, the tears were already unscrupulous, but fortunately the lights were not turned on.

"Hey...Xiao Lan, there's no need to endure such hardship here. Do you want to hug a pillow, brother, find someone to hug and cry for a while? Don't worry, brother won't say anything."

It's trash talking again...but it's much warmer than the false comforts I heard during the day.

"roll."

"It's raining so hard in Wenzhou, you're not cold standing by the window, I'm so sleepy..."

There were more arms around his waist, and the familiar temperature on his back, but Huang Shaotian was obviously really sleepy, and he talked twice as much as during the day, leaning his head on his shoulder to avoid the side with old injuries, The fluffy hair brushes against the temples.

Yu Wenzhou smiled, raised one hand to rest on Huang Shaotian's, turned his head slightly and leaned closer.

"Wenzhou...it's the first time we have so many people in a frontal war. It's cool to see, but...how long are we going to fight..."

"Is Shaotian tired? Homesick?"

"It's okay... But I still want to be more stable. We have our own small family with you, and we can't spend our whole life fighting and killing."

Yu Wenzhou was extremely happy when he heard these words, the corners of his mouth rose, and he lowered his head to kiss Huang Shaotian's hair.

"I don't know when the call will end, but...if I can have Shaotian with me, then this place will be my home."

"Hey, our subordinates will definitely drop their jaws when they hear this conversation..."

That's right.Yu Wenzhou shook his head with a smile, slowly lowered Huang Shaotian's arm around his waist, and closed the window with one free hand, isolating the sound of the rain outside the window, then turned around and gently kissed the sleepy man whose eyes were half-closed. circle in his arms.

"Sleep, young man."

Thank you for being with me all the time, and being home all over the world is not a hardship.

About two or three hours later, Ye Xiu felt that it would be terrible to sleep on the floor by the bed... like a big pug.So he fumbled lightly to stand up, moved to the next table and continued to sleep on his stomach.

Before leaving, he helped Lan He tuck the quilt again, and accidentally touched his face with his hand...

What the hell!

Ye Xiu almost yelled.

The temperature was extremely hot on the tear-stained face.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Ye Xiu breathed a sigh of relief -- tears and fever were finally normal people's reactions.

Finally, he didn't hold back like a stuffy gourd.

Why sleep here?Ye Xiu casually put on a coat and took an umbrella, and went to a pharmacy to buy antipyretics.

When Lan He woke up in a daze, he found that there was something cool on his head that was in pain. Ye Xiu beside the bed looked like a big pug sleeping on the ground.

I gently raised my hand to touch and see what was on my forehead... I woke up the pug!The pug raised his head, his hair curled up from the pressure...

"Yo, wake up, take the medicine again when you wake up."

Ye Pug got up on all fours, poured hot water from the table, took it along with the medicine and put it on the low stool beside the bed, picked up the cold towel on Lan He's forehead, and soaked it in the cold water basin again inside.

"Tsk, it's still a little hot."

Medicine is a must.Lan He tried to prop himself up with both hands, but found that it was not that easy. When the back of his head was about to throw himself on the pillow again, Ye Xiu stretched his arms through the gap between his neck and the pillow, and sat on the head of the bed to act as Blue River's support. Cushion, supporting Lan He in a half-embracing posture, and passing the pill with the other hand and placing it in Lan He's palm.

At this moment, he was very thankful that his face was already flushed with fever...

After taking the medicine, Ye Xiu didn't intend to make Lan He sit up or get off the ground, so he directly pushed Lan He back on the pillow, covered him with a quilt, put on his coat and was ready to go out.

"Are you...are you going to find out about my father?"

Indeed, if Ye Xiu's appearance was really explained to be to accompany him, Lan He felt that it was unrealistic to think about it with his heels.

"Okay, I'm not burned."

"I......"

"Okay, bro, I don't know what you're going to say...not to mention that it's inconvenient for you to show up for some things, it depends on how you are now, can you get up? Is my brother doing something or carrying you?"

"..." was expected.But after all, it was related to the cause of his father's death, how could Lan He let it go, and opened his mouth to refute that he could get up.

"Lie down. I'll take you to meet the new chief of the 79th Army in the afternoon. We will summarize the information at hand, and you will know everything by then, right?"

Lan He admits defeat, obediently shut up and lie down.

Returning to the cage to sleep is of course a beautiful thing, but for Lan He who had a high fever last night, the effect is greatly reduced. Waking up at nearly noon, it should be uncomfortable or uncomfortable.

But... definitely go in the afternoon!Lan He insisted on this idea, tried his best to get up and get out of bed, and wanted Ye Xiu to see a person who had recovered a lot and could go out.

"Yo, the young man is in good health and can stand up so quickly."

When he came back from shopping and saw Lan He standing at the table drinking water, Ye Xiu affirmed, stomped out the half-smoked cigarette at the door and threw it in the ashtray.

"The unpaid escorts have to take care of the food, what's wrong with the world."

Lan He couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How many times have I fetched water for you at school, why don't you tell me..."

"Tsk, I started talking back and bullying the escort at just one o'clock, my heart is broken, Lan He!"

I couldn't look directly... Blue River had no choice but to focus on the food, which were all light, without the greasy smell that made one's head swell.

"Well... I know how to make poached eggs, and I can't guarantee that each egg yolk is complete, so I went out and bought some to bring back, and eat whatever I want."

Helpless, Lan He was amused by God Ye's handiwork again.

"Very good...they are all light and delicious dishes."

Ye Xiu looked at Lan He's long-lost smile, and felt that the sky was sunny, and it was worth running two knots to find a light and delicious restaurant!

"Take a nap and rest?"

"No, I'm fine, let's go directly."

Lan He felt that if he went back to bed, it would be very difficult to get up again.Putting on his clothes in one go, he quickly wiped off the cold sweat from his brow when Ye Xiu opened the door with his back turned to him, and followed Ye Xiu into the car.

"Hello, Yu Wenzhou. Regarding the matter of General Lan... please express my condolences."

Looking at Yu Wenzhou's smile, Lan He felt a lot more at ease, but he was really surprised that such a young man could succeed his father in command of the 79th Army. He must have talents that are different from ordinary people.

Sure enough, the friends around Ye Xiu who is so monstrous and alien are not just waiting for nothing...

"You two wait a moment, Shaotian will be back soon."

"Well, can you talk well when you come back, you are noisy."

"Ye Shen is used to it after being taught anyway. Moreover, only the news brought back by Shaotian can confirm our investigation and deduction of the whole matter."

Talk... talkative?For a while, Lan He couldn't imagine the image of a talkative deputy army commander.But Yu Wenzhou was always accurate in counting the time, Huang Shaotian walked briskly into the door, dressed in a black civilian clothes that looked like the Green Gang.

"What a coincidence, Lao Ye, you guys are here. Wenzhou is so good at predicting things. Sure enough, I tracked down the gatekeeper of Lan's house that day and forced him to tell the truth. That's the one..."

"Shaotian, wait a moment, take a sip of tea and take a break. This is Lan He, and Ye Shen is a classmate in the military academy."

One second, Huang Shaotian was still surprised when Yu Wenzhou interrupted his speech for the first time, but the next second he ran away after seeing Blue River.

"Ah, you are the Blue River. Sadly, everything will be fine with us. By the way, your marksmanship is very good, did Lao Ye tell us, but to be honest, I still don't believe it. You know that he likes to run around with his mouth. The train scares us as if he is very powerful like a storyteller. I also like to use guns. How about we have time to compare? But I also like other weapons. In short, it is very useful to use whatever it is. Isn’t it great to beat the enemy to the ground? I’m sorry that I speak a little too fast, but I’m just like this. Are you still used to it?”

there's... kinda fast...

Blue River felt that the blood in the brain was a little insufficient.One second he rushed in majesticly like a hero, and the next second... this style of painting will change, my God!

"Uh, it's okay...it's okay, thank you Young Master Huang for your concern."

Huang Shaotian was about to praise Ye Xiu for teaching Lan He to call him handsome, but fortunately Ye Xiu saw this high-energy warning.

"Cough, talkative, drink some more water, let's get down to business."

"Then it can be confirmed now, because General Lan's military power is a great constraint on the Japanese army, and General Lan is a resolute main combat faction personally, so the Japanese sent elite agents from the bamboo organization to bribe the Lan family to see The guard at the gate assassinated General Lan. The traitor guard has been sent to the police station. He doesn’t have any valuable information in his hands, so it’s not worth our time. However, the murderer hasn’t been found yet, Blue River, we hope you... .”

"I understand, I will put the overall situation first, and I won't abandon everything now to find the murderer. For me now, it is enough to know who to seek revenge. After all, the best way to revenge and comfort my father is to eliminate him on the battlefield. enemy."

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs and sons. Yu admires him for being so profoundly righteous."

Watching Ye Xiu and Lan He get into the car, Huang Shaotian choked up all the words that he had pent up and merged into one sentence, and finally he was able to say it.

"Wenzhou, why did you interrupt me to prevent Lan He from knowing the truth?"

"Because Ye Xiu didn't want him to know."

Huang Shaotian stared at Yu Wenzhou with big watery eyes, expressing that he didn't understand.

"If you let Lan He know about these dirty deals in the party at this time, it would be tantamount to killing him. All Ye Xiufei's twists and turns were to protect Lan He to the maximum extent, even if he had no intention of letting Lan He know about him. everything."

Suddenly realizing that Ye Xiu, who has no lower limit, still has such a great side, Huang Shaotian is obviously very uncomfortable.But because of a trace of real emotion, he finally leniently talked about the sword master and let Ye Xiu go for the time being.

"Hey, but having said that, Wenzhou, every time the fight starts, I stand in front of you to protect you, am I much greater than that Ye Xiu haha~"

"Of course, but if one day those who targeted General Lan turn to target me, I just want to be safe for a few days."

Huang Shaotian was shocked suddenly.

"It doesn't matter what you say! Swords and curses can never be separated. Do you understand? No matter who makes trouble, I will cut him to pieces and teach him to be a man again in a few minutes. Do you hear me! Don't try to meet When it comes to danger, send me away and send myself to death, who can beat who has the final say, so I have the final say, did you hear it???"

Yes, we are the sword and the curse, how can we let the sword leave behind the curse in a critical moment and be alone and comfortable?Those silent devotion and protection sound very touching, but I am also willing to use my strongest method to stand in front of you and cut off the enemy.

Facing danger alone, I may be afraid because of my isolation and helplessness, but my sword, with your curse behind me, is not only the brain that helps me win, but also the reason why I am not afraid of danger and never retreat.

"Tsk, I saw early on that you were trying to be brave, and you pretended to be a normal person and insisted on going. It's your first day in the society." Ye Xiu ran for the whole afternoon with a low fever, and came back. Lan He, who immediately lay dead in the inn, had fully activated his taunting skills, "Today is just to see Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian, if I find that little Japanese to kill and set fire to, brother will have to bring some sweat medicine back at noon."

"..." Lan He knew he couldn't talk to him, so he simply ignored him and just closed his eyes to rest.

Yo, I have learned to be arrogant.Master Ye Xiu hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction, then turned around and went out to buy dinner.

Fresh crucian carp soup is really something that can make the appetite go away. Now it appears in front of Lan He, who has been a vegetarian for several days. Very helpful for recovery.

It's really hard for Ye Xiu, who doesn't understand fireworks in the world, to ask the innkeeper to borrow a casserole for soup. He held the casserole all the way to find a suitable restaurant, and then held it with both hands all the way. The crucian carp soup is back.That's not to mention, what Ye Xiu can't forget the most is the conversation between the plump proprietress and himself after the crucian carp soup was served...

"Yo! Young man! I saw that this casserole was taken from home. I see that you are quite young. You must have bought it for your daughter-in-law during her confinement at home to make up for her body! Oh, you are so caring!"

"Huh? Uh... yes, make up your body~"

Ye Xiu looked down at the casserole painted with peonies, and for the first time realized what it was like to be unloved.

Lan He, who was waiting for dinner to come back, lay on the bed and sneezed.

However, there is a saying called tit for tat.If Ye Xiu's answer to the proprietress yesterday was counted as verbally taking advantage of Lan He, then today's almost recovered Lan He stomped on him angrily, and there can only be one word to describe it: Damn it!

why?very simple.

Lan He said at noon that he wanted to drink the crucian carp soup from last night. Didn't you say that he bought it from Dexing Restaurant on the next street? Let's go together.

On the way, Ye Xiu suddenly remembered such a No. [-] person as the proprietress!By the way, it was the bastard who told Lan He where he bought the soup yesterday...

After entering Dexing Restaurant, Ye Xiu dragged Lan He to pick a table farther away from the counter, euphemistically saying that he didn't want to be crowded and wanted to be quiet, and then called out in a low-key manner, "Little Er, order."

"Come on~~~~~~!"

Hey wait, why does this voice sound familiar? !

"Yo! The young man is here again! Hey, this young man looks about the same age as you, and you are also here to buy soup for the confinement wife to make up her body? Oh, look at these two brothers, they really love people!"

The proprietress cheerfully ordered her staff to make soup.

"Ye, Xiu."

Ye Xiu mustered up the courage to turn around.

Blue River's smile is really beautiful! ! !

My feet really hurt! ! !

Just a sneak in.After dealing with the affairs in the Northeast, Ye Xiu and Lan He were about to leave for the Central Military Academy.

Lan He's second and third uncles restrained a lot, so Lan He still entrusted the Lan family to the two uncles in the name of the head of the family.Such a decision was naturally due to the existence of Wei Chen, who was entrusted by Ye Xiu to secretly protect the Lan family, and was also an important restraint on Lan He's two uncles.

As for the 79th Army, Ye Xiu finally admitted that not all decision makers in the Nanjing headquarters are short-sighted.The appointment of Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian directly eliminated Ye Xiu's worries about the army. Most importantly, because of the sword and curse's main battle position, the Japanese army will continue to be restrained in the northeast. The situation is also very favorable.

Ye Xiu looked back at the army-green plane behind him, and signaled to Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian, who were coming to see him off, that it was time for them to leave.

"Hey, okay, people have been urging you for a long time, you two, hurry up and board the plane, so that others don't have to wait, let's go while it's not snowing here, let's go, Lao Ye, take care of Lan He, he just happened to be sick. It's really inhumane for you to dangle around on the plane, I said you guys have to stay for two more days and you have to go..."

"Hey, stop talking, if you talk about the plane, you will be so annoyed that it will fly away, why don't you drive us back to Nanjing."

Fortunately, there is a professional siege master Yu Wenzhou, everyone who talks to Huang Shaotian and who is not annoyed to death should thank him.

"Senior, Lan He, pay attention to your safety on the road. The 79th Army will not disappoint the people of the country if we entrust it to us. One day we will be able to fight side by side, and there will be a period later."

"Well, that's right, there will be a period later."

The four experienced many people together in the past few days, hugging and saying goodbye to each other amidst the roar of the engine.

Therefore, Lan He and Huang Shaotian didn't hear the "thank you" that Ye Xiu and Yu Wenzhou whispered when they hugged each other.

Yu Wenzhou understood, and responded with a smile.

This year, Sword and Curse took over Lan Zhengyun's banner in the Northeast and dominated the world, letting the Japanese understand what it means to "fight to the end". strengthened.

This year, Lan He returned to school after experiencing major family changes, devoted himself to his studies, increased his military skills, and worked hard for the heroic figure of his father on the battlefield one day.

Many changes in life are due to painful accidents, but fortunately, these accidents can keep a person from being weak, indifferent, and drifting with the flow.Even if the past cannot be changed and can only be cherished, at least there is a reason to grasp the present, to temper and precipitate one's heart as a golden stone, and then calmly and quietly grasp a bargaining chip to fight the future.

For Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian, they are no longer the straightforward knights who can rely on their own personal skills and strategies, and love to win a mission. Behind them are thousands of troops, as well as the broken Northeast land and people.

The same is true for Lan He. His student days would not be stress-free, but he was deeply branded with hatred and a sense of mission. There is no reason for him not to move forward and face the cruel society with solid skills. .

However, Ye Xiu was an exception.Compared to their psychological changes, the training content for the next semester is the reason why the title "Ye Shen" is really remembered by everyone in the Central Military Academy.
