Your Majesty Cheng Huan

Before dawn the next day, He Xiaowan followed Zhang Hu to a medical clinic outside the south gate of the capital.The two squatted on the roof of the medical center, and Zhang Hu warned him: "Don't step on the roof for me again."

"Hi!" He Xiaowan waved his hand indifferently, winked and said, "Actually, I just wanted to see what the woman who fascinated our emperor looked like that day, so I accidentally—" He raised his hand to promise: "It's the same I will never make that mistake again!"

After finishing speaking, he leaned closer and asked Zhang Wei in a low voice: "Brother, aren't you the emperor's personal bodyguard now? Why didn't you stay in the palace well, instead you were exiled to this wretched place?"

Zhang Hu didn't answer him, but lowered his voice and said, "Here comes the man."

Tuo Erba gently opened the door, Li Chenghuan was still sleeping.The two of them did not stay in the capital, but now, they had to stay in this place temporarily.

Although the voice was very low, Li Chenghuan was still awakened.Now he is more sensitive to voice.

He lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but Tuoerba hurried over to support him. "Lie down for a while, I bought something to eat and came back."

Li Chenghuan raised his head, looked in the darkness where he thought Tuoerba was, and asked, "Has the rain stopped?"

Tuo Erba brought out the dishes one by one, put them on the small stool in front of the bed, picked up the rice bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to Li Chenghuan's mouth.

"It stops at night. Come on, open your mouth."

Li Chenghuan's eyes were blank, he opened his mouth, and took a mouthful of rice.

In the alley outside the medical hall, He Xiaowan patted his chest, looking in the direction of the medical hall as if he had lingering fears, and asked Zhang Wei cautiously: "Our grand master...why are you blind?"

Li Chenghuan's eyes disappeared after leaving the small courtyard in Dongcheng District.Seeing the world in front of him becoming blurred little by little, and finally completely disappearing into the darkness, he thought it was suddenly dark.

He said to Tuo Erba: "Why is it getting dark so fast, let's find an inn to rest."

Tuoerba took him out of the city overnight in the rain and came to this clinic.The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, but as to why he could not see, he could only say that it was caused by heart disease.

"Let's get out of here," Li Chenghuan said, "anywhere."

Tuoerba nodded, but thought he could no longer see it now, so he said: "Okay, let's go tomorrow, let's go to the south, to the Junan and Yanghe rivers far away from here."

Li Chenghuan grabbed his hand and said, "No, I'm leaving today."

In June of 240 AD, Li Chenghuan and Tuoerba came to Yanghe Prefecture.

The two southern prefectures of Daxia, Dongyanghe and Xijunan, were originally places where banditry was rampant, and Yanghe prefecture and Lingcheng prefecture to the north were the worst.But now, this place has become a place as rich and prosperous as Nanyang and Sanyin, and even the capital is less bohemian than here.

After the visit of merchant ships from the Chima Kingdom, the trade between Daxia and the countries in the south of the sea became more and more frequent. In the street markets in the towns in the south of the Yanghe River, you can often see Chima Kingdom, Dali Kingdom, and Sube in exotic costumes. country people.It is often difficult for Daxia people to identify them with their respective countries, so most of them call them "sea people", that is, "people from the sea".

Li Chenghuan and Tuoerba passed through Lingcheng Prefecture, crossed Lingshan Mountain to Yanghe Prefecture, and settled in a place called Gongge County in the north of Yanghe Prefecture.

The county government of Gongge County is in the middle of the county. This is the middle reaches of the Yanghe River, and the inland waterway is well developed. Most of the people in Gongge rely on the fishing and shipping of the Yanghe River for food.Every day, the fishermen sang loudly on the surface of the Yanghe River, and brought the fish they caught before dawn to the fish market to sell.In the evening, accompanied by singing, I picked up an empty fish basket, returned home, and ate delicious meals cooked by my virtuous wife.

The folk customs in the southeast area are open, and the men here often have a rough and unruly spirit, as if the banditry spirit in the blood of the previous generation has not dissipated in this generation, but they are also simple and honest, revealing a sense of peace and prosperity in this world. Satisfaction and enjoyment of life.The women here are also different from the gentle ladies in Nanyang and Shanyin that Li Chenghuan is familiar with, and different from the noble women born in the capital who are proud and flamboyant.

Both Li Chenghuan and Tuoerba are now "homeless people". They don't know how long they will stay here, and they don't know where they will go or where they can go after leaving here.Every day is a new day for them, and they no longer worry about the past or the future.

Li Chenghuan went back to his old job and really opened a private school in Gongge County, using the money he brought from the small courtyard in the Dongcheng District of the capital - he didn't have much salary as an official, and the money Li Fugui and Xiu Rong took all of them with him when he returned to Bailu Town, so most of his money here was prepared by Xiao Qian.At this time, he recalled his previous life. What he ate was simple tea and light rice, and there were also delicacies from mountains and seas. What he wore was silk and satin, and also coarse linen.He has never worried about such things as firewood, rice, oil and salt, but he really has no savings.

They rented a small yard in the county. There were only four rooms. Besides the lobby, there was only one bedroom, a kitchen, and one room used as a utility room.A "Letter to the County People" was posted outside the gate of the residence - all children who come to this "Hele Shushu" only need to bring a bucket of rice per month as tuition fees, and they can learn to read and read here. .

The people in Gongge are also very friendly to this newly moved blind gentleman. Every now and then a child would bring a fish or two to Li Chenghuan from home, and he would gladly accept it.

Tuoerba has a Daxia name, which was given by Li Chenghuan, called "Zifeng". He follows Li Chenghuan's surname "Li", and the children who come to school here often call him "Brother Zifeng".

"I never thought that one day I would live this life."

At the beginning, almost every night, Tuoerba would say this sentence, but Li Chenghuan just laughed and said nothing.

The former King Khan is now helping out at the wharf of the Yanghe River, doing some hard work to earn some scraps of money to subsidize his family.When I returned home with a fishy smell, I often saw Li Chenghuan standing at the gate of the yard to see off the children.Most of these children are eleven or twelve-year-old children who can read and write. With Li Chenghuan's current state, it is already beyond his ability to teach children like Xiao He.

On this day, Tuoerba probably got angry on the pier, and when he came back, his face was dark.As soon as the old momentum came out, the children were too frightened to say hello to him, and ran away in a hurry.

Li Chenghuan stood by the door, and when he approached, he asked, "What's wrong?" Although he couldn't see, he knew from the children's reactions that he was in a bad mood today.

Tuo Erba walked up to him, sighed, and said softly, "Let's go, let's talk in the room."

As soon as he entered the room, Tuo Erba took him into his arms and buried his face deeply into Li Chenghuan's neck.Li Chenghuan has not rejected his intimacy for a long time—in fact, not only Tuoerba, but even Li Chenghuan himself could not have imagined that one day this kind of life would appear so real, he could smell it, touch it, and feel it.

Li Chenghuan asked him softly: "Tired?"

Tuo Erba raised his head and said, "I'm not tired."

"Then why put on a bad face and scare the children away."

"Chenghuan, let's get married."
