The worst is the next cousin

The green and red pheasant in front of him was the first chicken Mao Xiaofei caught in the mountains, and there was a black spot on its skinny calf above its dry paw.

Mao Xiaofei grabbed her feet, touched the pheasant feathers, and threw her into the pile of chickens.

"One, two, three, four, five, six...twelve." One was not too many and the other was not. It was just strange, and the seven pheasants all rolled themselves into hemp balls and hid in the haystack. .

Mao Xiaofei squatted on the ground and pulled the grass whiskers, watching intently.

"Mao Xiaofei!" someone called outside.

Mao Xiaofei saw that it was a young soldier from the new barracks, holding a spear, he responded casually, did not get up, and was looking for chicken feces on the ground.

"You, come out!" Xiaobing called.

"Come in." Mao Xiaofei didn't raise his head.

"I called you out, I have something for you."

"What? It's not a valuable thing. Don't call me, I'm busy!"

"Gold ingots, are they worth money?"

"What?" It was Mao Xiaofei's turn to catch a glimpse, he quickly jumped up and wiped his hands on his body.

The soldier twitched his nose sharply, and pursed his mouth in disgust: "You will be rewarded by the general."

It was a golden ingot, and Mao Xiaofei was so excited when he saw it, he bit his mouth as soon as he started, looked at the two small teeth marks on it triumphantly, wiped his saliva and put it away.Mao Xiaofei said casually, "Thank you."

"Thanks."

"I invite you to eat." A gold ingot is enough for Mao Xiaofei to live comfortably for three to five years, so it's nothing to invite you to dinner.

"We are in this place where the birds don't shit, what chance do we have to invite you to dinner? I think you don't have a back pain when you speak plainly. By the way, how is your back injury?"

It's okay not to mention it, but Mao Xiaofei felt his back a little itchy when he mentioned it.

"I'm growing meat, it's very itchy. Little brother, you are very good, what's your name? Why don't you come and raise chickens with me?"

"Zhou Ji, aid to the world."

"Practice medicine at home?" Looking at it, the little brothers in front of him are still young boys, about 14 years old.Mao Xiaofei couldn't help muttering: King Qingxi is too cruel, from the general to the recruits, they are all fledgling boys.But alignment is a good thing.In two or three years, these boys are not enough to fear.

"How do you know?" Zhou Ji knelt down and watched Mao Xiaofei pick up a chicken, and Mao Xiaofei rubbed his chin on the chicken's head affectionately.

The pheasant was very dissatisfied, and actually pecked him with contempt, and never turned his head back.

"It's for the benefit of the world, guess. Will you come to raise chickens? No need to go to the front line, raise chickens and grow vegetables. The general has agreed, let me pick a few people."

"I don't want it." Zhou Ji refused without thinking.

"Why? Such a good thing."

"You are from Shangqi, of course you think it is good. It is the dream of every bloody man to be able to defend the monarch and guard the border for the sake of a stable life for the father and fellow villagers."

Mao Xiaofei twitched his eyebrows: "Well said, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and practice." He smiled and kicked Zhou Ji, looked at Zhou Ji's back running for a while, looked up at the sky, and the clouds were floating in the sky. Floating in the middle.Mao Xiaofei, who has no relatives and no reason, is also a little homesick.

In the evening, the Chinese military tent.

After everything was done, Mu Canshang was alone in the tent, sitting cross-legged on a dark and low table in front of him.The oil lamp was beating slowly, and the sand table that had just been used to discuss matters with others was put away.Mu Canshang took out an envelope from the hill-like pile of documents. The envelope had been scalded with wax, but it had already been opened.

When Mu Canshang saw this letter, it was more than ten days ago. Coincidentally, it was on the second day after he came back that when he woke up from his coma, his attendants would pick out the last Important documents were sent to him.

This letter was neither a military newspaper nor an imperial decree, it was his friend and a member of the royal family.In Qingxi, the king's own sons are all called the prince, and the prince is called the prince.

The one who brought the message was the seventh prince, Dongmen Yue.

The letter said that he asked Shangqi to marry King Anyang as his wife, but unfortunately he was rejected.This is also expected by Mu Canshang, King Anyang is not only a man, but he can't see that he is willing to subdue others.A series of reasons are described later, saying that King Anyang was picked up by a servant, and he climbed onto King Anyang's bed by means of "not convenient for detailed discussion in the letter".It was precisely because of Shangqi's order that Dongmenyue dared to propose marriage to the most famous model of Shangqi, King Anyang.Later, Mu Shenshang was asked to turn a blind eye to the abnormal situation in the military camp. Dongmenyue promised that he would not kill his love rival, but only "seek justice for the one he loves".Counting Mao Xiaofei's crimes in detail, there are three: chaos from beginning to abandonment;

Originally, Mu Canshang was not interested in such frivolous things, but he was shown the nameplate with the Qingxi royal family emblem, which made Mu Canshang disgusting.

That's all, Mu Shenshang really couldn't tell that Mao Xiaofei looked like a street guy, how could the famous Anyang King like him, and was put on a cuckold by such a person.

The major general couldn't help but sigh again: Can the savior have some character.

The same is a man, the difference between people is too big.At this moment, Mu Canshang was sitting alone, his complexion was as mixed as if he had eaten a fly, and he was going to go out to get some air.

He left the tent of the Chinese army and was walking, when he inadvertently heard the sound of humming a little tune from the shed not far from the stable.

Mu Canshang approached. There was a door in the shed, and a roll of straw mats was hung crookedly. There was only a human head inside, shaking back and forth.There was no light on, and the sporadic fires in the camp reflected the white arms of the man taking a bath.

Mu Canshang couldn't help blushing, turned around and left.

"The clothes are placed on the hay outside. Thank you, Xu Qiu. I'll wait until I raise chickens. I'll give you the first bite of eggs."

Mu Canshang has been in the army for many years, and he has not seen half a woman throughout the year. What's more, he has long doubted whether he likes men or women. half a year.His father brought a young boy who couldn't speak very well to him, and the two of them learned from the same painter, often telling each other to sit still for a whole afternoon.

The boy's calligraphy and painting made the painters in the palace astonished.

But it wasn't this that surprised Mu Canshang as a heavenly man, but the handsome facial features of the young man, who seemed to be made by nature, and his appearance was so strange at a young age. The whole body is comfortable.They studied painting together during the day, and slept in the same room at night. Although they were not on the same couch, there were no screens for shelter.One day when Mu Shenshang went back to his room to practice martial arts, he ran into Kang Zihong, who didn't need to practice martial arts, just finished bathing, wearing a thin long robe, the front of which had not been covered up yet.

Unlike Mu Canshang, Kang Zihong, who has never practiced martial arts, is slimmer than his peers, and his slender waist seems to be able to be grasped in the palm of his hand.That Kang Zihong is weak, and he rarely goes out once a year. His skin is shockingly white, and Xue Xue is even better than three points. Coupled with Kang Zihong's demeanor, he can be called an immortal.

Mu Shenshang immediately had a fever in his nasal cavity.

"Brother Mu, you are bleeding." Kang Zihong said.

Mu Canshang's head was dizzy, and he just said "um", walked to the courtyard, and poured cold water on his head.Wash his face clean, and also extinguish the hot flame in his heart.

That night, Mu Canshang "wetted the bed".

When handing it over to the boy next to him to wash, Mu Canshang Lei's expressionless face was unmoved, and a ray of red was rarely seen.

The next three months were too short in Mu Canshang's memory. He did a lot of stupid things, and he only had to ask: Kang Zihong, did you cut off your sleeve?

It is impossible for Mu Canshang to ask this sentence in his life. He does not have the guts. As the only child of the Mu family, he cannot bear the strict training of his father and the tears of his mother. The Mu family has been loyal and upright for generations. smashed him to death.

But if you just try it and don't bring it home, you won't have to be scolded.As soon as he changed his mind, Mu Canshang shook his head anxiously.

At this moment, facing Mao Xiaofei's pale and thin arms, his delicately curved neck and shoulders, there was a small depression in the hollow of his shoulders.Mu Canshang's brows twitched uncomfortably, and he couldn't help thinking of Mao Xiaofei's whipping in the school field that day. He also had a narrow waist, and the blood slipped over his white and greasy skin, along the clearly visible pieces of spine, and sank into the end of his tail. .

"Hey? Why is it you?" Mao Xiaofei waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Xu Qiuwei's reassuring answer, so he looked back.

"Walking around."

Mao Xiaofei heard what Mu Canshang said, so he ignored him, one hand crossed his shoulder with difficulty, his fingers tremblingly picked at the tender red wound, he wanted to touch it once, but he couldn't help but pick twice, blood oozed out immediately , Mao Xiaofei's whole face wrinkled in pain.

"It's really Xu Qiu, it took him so long to hold the clothes!"

"I don't know who forgot to take it." Mu Canshang said coldly. Not only did he not want to leave, but he approached Mao Xiaofei, condescendingly looking down at the scenery in the bucket.

"It's me." Mao Xiaofei pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction, and handed something to Mu Canshang unceremoniously: "Anyway, you are fine, so please wipe my back for me. If it weren't for you, I don't need to be whipped." It's such a hassle."

In silence, Mu Shenshang took the loofah and asked Mao Xiaofei for a towel, as if he felt that using the loofah would easily scratch the skin.

For a while, the surrounding fields were silent, only Mao Xiaofei's comfortable humming could be heard from time to time.He was sprawled on the rim of the bucket, a little drowsy.

There was a light not far away, and the light in the shed was dim. Mao Xiaofei couldn't see Mu Canshang's gloomy eyes, let alone the scorching and contemptuous expression on his face.

After Mao Xiaofei took a comfortable bath, Xu Qiu brought the clothes, and when he saw Mu Canshang, his mouth opened wide, his knees bent and straightened, and if it wasn't for Mu Canshang who said in time: " Dress him up." Xu Qiu probably had a broken knee.

Amidst the sound of the hay being broken, Mu Canshang left with a faint light.

Mao Xiaofei sniffled: "The water is getting cold, if you don't dress me well, I'll spray your wax gourd with snot all over your head."

Only then did Xu Qiu come back to his senses, he hurriedly gathered Mao Xiaofei's unlined clothes and put on his outer robe.

"What's the matter, why is the general with you? Does he still want to trouble you?"

Mao Xiaofei gave him an annoyed look: "Could you say something pleasant? Besides, he is busy with affairs, so how can he find trouble for me? At such a young age, why don't you always think of the good when things happen?"

Xu Qiu patted his round head: "Brother Xiaofei, don't think I'm stupid."

"Then perform well, will you help me raise chickens?"

"I forgot about it. I see that brother of mine seems very angry that I will be your follower. There is no hope on the other side. Why don't I raise chickens with you and get paid for the army?"

"I don't care about the military salary, but if I have any benefits, it will be yours."

Xu Qiu was pure in heart, hearing what Mao Xiaofei said, and seeing with his own eyes that even Mao Xiaofei could speak well in front of the general, he already regarded him as a good big brother with great abilities and knowledge.

And Mao Xiaofei was tired all day, lying on the bunk, stretching his hands and feet, he suddenly remembered something.

Wipe his back, why did Mu Canshang stretch his hand down?But it was true, the man looked so rigid and serious, maybe he didn't wipe it clean when he took a shower.

Turning over, being unbearable by Xu Qiu's snoring, Mao Xiaofei turned over again, Xu Qi was lying flat, looking very reliable, so Mao Xiaofei, whose hands and feet were aching from exhaustion, slept without worry until the sun was shining, I just lazily went to see his chicken.

I don't want to hear the urgent sound of horns before I reach the chicken coop.

It was the first time Mao Xiaofei heard this horn, and he quickly grabbed one of the soldiers running in one direction and asked, "What does this mean? Is it a rally order?"

"The savages are here, what are you doing? Get your weapons! It's too late!" After speaking, Mao Xiaofei broke free and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Mao Xiaofei was stunned, and hurried back to his barracks.

Gold, clothes, salt, flint, rope, a knife.The tools from the previous escape were still there, Mao Xiaofei suddenly frowned, and touched his body all over.

Forget it, the wooden signboard wasn't his property in the first place, so it's useless to run away.

So Mao Xiaofei spied the timing and prepared to flee for the second time.At this time a soldier opened the door and entered.

"Mao Xiaofei, change your clothes, the general told you to come with me."

"..."

Five big and three rough soldiers came to drag Mao Xiaofei, but he couldn't resist at all, so he had to ask the soldier to turn his back and change his clothes.Not to mention, this dress is pretty good, a silver satin gown with arrow sleeves, embroidered clusters of brocade on the chest, Mao Xiaofei didn't know how to put his hands and feet in this dress, he said awkwardly: "Where are you going?"

"Get on the horse, the horse is outside." The man directly grabbed Mao Xiaofei by the collar and got out of the tent, and Mao Xiaofei was pushed onto the horse.A person rode behind him and rode out.
