Efforts to kill the enemy is not as good as the full level of tea art

In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in early October.The dryness and heat of late summer in this season has finally faded a bit, and the coolness of early autumn is beginning to appear. It only takes a good rain to wash the sky and the earth once again, and the climate will really cool down.

The prey that the two hunted back that day had already been skinned and marinated, and each one was strung on a wooden pole, and placed on the fire at the gate of the camp, waiting to be roasted.Soldiers in other camps were also preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at night. Seeing Zhuo Yue's "grand occasion", they were very envious. Even the commander sent someone to ask Vice General Zhuo where he found so many wild game.

As night fell, except for the soldiers on routine patrol, the other soldiers in the main tent were all beaming and preparing for the evening gathering.They all know that this may be the last festival before the Battle of Yulin Pass.After that, some people will be able to stay with their families for a long time, and some people will never be able to enjoy the festive season again.

They can't predict the future situation, they can only catch the last carnival.

Zhuo Yue personally grilled the meat, oiled and sprinkled a lamb rack on a wooden rack, and the two soldiers kept turning the grill under his command.The fat of the mutton was sizzled by the charcoal fire, and soon a layer of attractive burnt yellow smoked the skin of the meat.The aroma was so strong that it swallowed a group of eager soldiers next to it.

"Don't wait here to eat!" Zhuo Yue scolded, "Don't you have other things, bake them all!"

Zhang Laohei and the others gathered around to help, and the little milk wolf who had just been picked up also smelled the smell of meat, and was so greedy that it wandered around, causing everyone present to steal their eyes.

Guan Ximing held a piece of meat and led the little milk wolf around in circles like teasing a kitten: "Brother Zhuo, is this really a wolf? Why is it so cute?"

Zhang Laohei grinningly stretched out his hand and poked the little wolf's soft belly, causing it to stagger, and opened its mouth to bite Zhang Laohei's fingertips.Unexpectedly, it has a mouth full of deciduous teeth, and biting Zhang Laohei at this time is almost like grinding teeth.

"Do you really plan to keep them as pets?" Fu Wang also came to join in the fun, "I've heard that some merchants in the south have kept wild beasts in captivity, but they were all kept in cages for viewing. If you keep them outside like this, if one day What should I do if I am hungry and eat someone?"

"No." Zhuo Yue casually patted the little wolf's head.Strange to say, this little wolf seems to have some special fate with him, as soon as he gets close to him, he softens into a kitten and whimpers, "I always feel that this little guy is different from other wild wolves."

"Did you name it? Since it's a pet, you should have a name."

Zhuo Yue coughed lightly, glanced at Li Changxing who was at the side and said, "Get up, Brother □□."

Li Changxing was greasing the leg of lamb on the fire when he heard this and chuckled.

Zhang Laohei said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of crap name did you choose? A ferocious animal like a wolf should have a more powerful name, right? What's 'overlord' and 'proud' is what it looks like."

Zhuo Yue rolled his eyes: "You know fart."

As the sky got darker, the bonfires in the camp became bigger and bigger. Laughter and laughter accompanied by lights as bright as daylight added endless joy to this early autumn night.A bright moon in the night sky is full and full, and the silver flower shines on the joyously gathered people. In this season that symbolizes reunion, they cannot return to their blood relatives, but they can also find warmth beside their brothers and sisters.

Zhuo Yue personally brought a roasted pheasant to the tent.I greeted the guards, and when I approached the camp, I heard that it was very lively inside.

"That market is really fun, it sells everything!" The voice of an excited teenager, it should be Lou Chuyun, "There are a lot of weird gadgets on the grassland! There are also witch doctors there, Their doctors are so funny that they always ring the bell first.”

He should be talking about the private black market.

Father Lou said: "Without the supervision of the imperial court, this kind of market may not be very safe."

"I think it's pretty good." Lou Chuyun didn't think so, "Everyone trades things for things, and they leave after taking things. It's not like the previous exchange market, where you have to pay a few cents to the court if you buy something for one silver. ..."

"Speak carefully!" Lou's father shouted, "You're talking nonsense again. Taxes and silver are the cornerstone to ensure peaceful trading in the mutual market. You have only eaten rice for a few years, and you are here to give advice?"

Lou Chuiyun cut his voice indifferently.

"Then what happened to the injury on your forehead?" Lou Changfeng asked from the side, "Did you fight with someone?"

Lou Chuiyun muttered vaguely: "No, I met a strange person...don't ask!"

Zhuo Yue couldn't help laughing outside the tent.

Traveling and fighting is very difficult, Lou's father has to serve in the Chinese army, and Lou Changfeng and Lou Wanli are also busy with affairs, so there may not be many opportunities for the family to get together like this.

Feeling in his heart, he was a little envious, and he didn't want to disturb the warm atmosphere inside, so he handed over the roast chicken to the guards and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached Yingkou, he heard someone calling him, and it was Lou Changfeng who chased him.

"Zhuo Yue!" He approached with a smile, "Why don't you pass through the door? Come and have a drink with Dad."

Zhuo Yue hurriedly waved his hands: "No, today is a family banquet, so it's inconvenient to attend. There are still a bunch of brothers waiting over there."

Lou Changfeng didn't force it, and handed him a jar of wine: "Father brewed it himself. It is reasonable to say that drinking alcohol is not allowed in the army, but the father said that everyone has worked hard recently, and it is rare to relax today, so I will share it with you." You have a taste."

Zhuo Yue took it, fumbled for the mouth of the bottle and was moved.Although Lou's father is usually very dignified, he is also very considerate of his subordinates. Sometimes he is reluctant to eat some of the exquisite cakes, food and wine brought by the capital, so he will share some with his subordinates.

This veteran was covered in frost and rain in his early years, and experienced the most difficult ten years when the foundation was established in this dynasty.The experience in his youth covered him with a layer of hard and simple armor, even though he was in a beautiful later life, he did not dare to indulge in pleasures - those who are accustomed to coarseness are no longer willing to get close to silk.

He has been strict with himself all his life, but he will give all the little softness to those around him.Needless to say, his three sons are all outstanding. If they hadn't received a good education, it would be difficult to grow up like this.As long as the generals of the Lou family army mentioned Lou's father, they would respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

This veteran is not only the backbone of the entire army, but also the blood and warmth of everyone.

Lou Changfeng didn't know what Zhuo Yue was thinking with his head down, so he called him with a smile and said, "Zhuo Yue, Mid-Autumn Festival is a joy."

A young man in his 20s, with handsome and gentle features, heroic and calm.

Already vaguely had the appearance of a father.

"General Jiaxi." Zhuo Yue looked at him and suddenly said, "General, we can definitely take Yulin Pass."

This time, they will definitely win a big victory, and these fresh and beautiful people will also be able to return with triumph.

----

Father Lou's brewed wine was really strong, Zhuo Yue took it home and shared a few sips with his brothers before feeling a little drunk again.Beside him, there are subordinates who are shouting and frolicking, brothers who are chatting, and most importantly...the lover who is leaning on his shoulder and slowly peeling sweet potatoes for him.

Zhuo Yue hiccupped and suddenly laughed softly.

"What's wrong?" Li Changxing raised his hand and fed him a piece of sweet potato, "Drink too much?"

"How is it possible, it's only a few taels." Zhuo Yue smiled lazily, "I never dared to drink to my heart's content in the barracks, so as not to delay the business. When the battle is over and I go to the capital, I must drink to my heart's content."

"There will be a day." Li Changxing looked down at him, "I'll accompany you."

Over there, Zhang Laohei also blushed from drinking, sat down with a smile, and beckoned a few people to approach: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing him so mysterious, the brothers all sat closer.Zhang Laohei lowered his voice and said with a smile: "I wanted to tell you guys a long time ago, but I never found time... Adanzhu is pregnant!"

A few people are all stupid.

"Yes, are you pregnant?" Guan Ximing stuttered in shock, "When did this happen?"

Zhuo Yue was also so shocked that he half woke up from the wine.When they marched from Cangheng City more than half a year ago, Adanzhu didn't accompany the army. Unexpectedly, a few months later, there was news of her pregnancy.

"When can it be? When it was in Cangheng." Zhang Laohei said with a smile, "It's been five or six months now, and it is estimated that it will be born by the end of the year."

This is indeed great news.

But the men are all bachelors, and at first hearing that a woman is giving birth, they are a little at a loss.Guan Ximing couldn't help scratching his head, and said anxiously: "Then, should I send my sister-in-law to a place with better conditions? Should I pick her up here? Should I—"

"What are you doing here? The war is in chaos and war is about to start." Fu Wang shook his head, "Is there any deer milk? I heard that drinking deer milk is good for health. Those concubines in my family drink some during the confinement."

"Okay, don't get scared out of your mind." Zhang Laohei said with a smile, "I've settled her down. Now I just need to tell the story to make everyone happy."

Zhuo Yue took a sip of wine in a complicated mood.He has forgotten when A Danzhu gave birth to the child in his previous life. He only remembers that he was very upset when he heard that she was pregnant. He felt that this grassland woman of unknown origin could not be shaken off completely, and even had a big fight with Zhang Laohei .

This time...

This time his mood is still hard to put into words.But the mood has calmed down a lot.

"After this battle is over, take her to Yulin Pass." Zhuo Yue said slowly, "Children, you should grow up by your father's side."

Looking at him, Zhang Laohei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded hastily.

Zhuo Yue took a deep breath and took another sip of wine.

So many hopes, so many eager visions, are shining brightly in the eyes of everyone.So the battle at Yulin Pass... must be won.

The reunion lasted for a long time, but in the middle of the night Zhuo Yue suddenly found that Xiao Ga had disappeared.

"I didn't see it." Zhang Laohei was so happy today, his cheeks flushed from drinking and his eyes narrowed, "Are you hiding again? He doesn't like this kind of scene."

Among the drunks who were seven to eight crooked, only Li Changxing was still sober. At this moment, he raised his head and said, "I just saw him go back by himself."

Zhuo Yue scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.This brat, every time everyone is happy, he hides aside with a cold face, as if he can't stand the joy.They are also little wolf cubs, at least Li Changxing accepts him, why is it that Xiaoga can't cover him up?

"I'll drag him back." Zhuo Yue stood up, "I'm too lonely, I can't spoil him."

The camp was full of laughter and excitement, and Xiao Ga was nowhere to be seen.Zhuo Yue looked around for a long time, and finally came to the school grounds.

Other places are brightly lit, but the school grounds are pitch black, with only the cool moonlight illuminating the figures.The voices of the frolicking people in the distance can still be faintly heard, but it is even more so that the place is silent and full of loneliness.

At this time, Xiao Ga was standing in the empty field, standing alone with a bow, shooting arrows at the target.His back was elongated by the moonlight, his shoulders and waist were thin and thin, as if he was wearing all the sadness and loneliness alone.

Zhuo Yue stared blankly, feeling a little sour in his heart.

Xiao Ga has always been reticent, and he likes to be brave and doesn't like to talk about things.

He has been worrying too much these days, and he is too busy flirting with Li Changxing, so he must be ignoring this child.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Ga turned his head and was taken aback: "Brother Zhuo, you, why are you here?"

"I came to look for you, I just ran away without a word." Zhuo Yue scolded with a smile, raised his hand and touched his head, "Why don't you sit for a while when you're full... Hey, have you grown taller?"

I hadn't noticed it before, but Xiao Ga's figure seemed to have also quietly shrunk in the past year.It used to be around my shoulders, but now it has grown below my ears.

Xiaoga seemed a little uncomfortable being touched by him like this, and turned his head to avoid it: "Maybe. Brother Zhuo, you go back, I will practice for a while."

"What else are you practicing, don't practice. Your archery is already good enough."

Xiao Ga didn't make a sound, staring blankly at the target in the distance, his sharp-edged side face looked a bit lonely in the moon shadow and moonlight.

"How does that compare to Li Changxing?" He asked suddenly.

Zhuo Yue was stunned for a moment: "Comparison with what?"

"Arrow skills, kung fu, ability, and everything..." Xiao Ga slowly turned his eyes and looked at Zhuo Yue, "Although I am already good enough, compared with him, am I still far behind? Woolen cloth?"

Zhuo Yue suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Compared with Li Changxing, Xiao Ga is indeed inferior in terms of kung fu, brains, character and temper.

But it's not that Xiao Ga is not good enough... But, how many Li Changxing are there in the world?

To say it directly would definitely hurt the child's heart, Zhuo Yue thought for a while and asked, "Do you still remember how I picked you up?"

The corners of Xiaoga's tensed mouth were rarely softened: "... At that time, you wanted to pick someone from the death camp to help you clean your shoes. Then you picked me."

……

Those were the best days of his life.

Being beaten and scolded badly by the people in the clan, he couldn't take it anymore and ran out, but was arrested by the passing Central Plains army.When he was thrown on the dirty and muddy ground, he was dying and had completely given up hope.

This life...his life is humble, not even a pig or a dog, humbler than dust.Every day he lived was just a painful repetition from sunrise to moonset. He no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes, and he no longer wanted to live.

I only wish for the afterlife, not for human beings.

Just on the verge of confusion, a bright and joyful voice suddenly entered his ears: "Hey, there are so many brats!"

"Old Zhuo, why are you here?"

"You little bastards, can I choose one to go? I need someone to clean my shoes and wash my clothes. Tsk, I really don't want to do the work those women do."

"Choose whatever you want. But they are all wild species picked up from the grassland, be careful when they grow up and bite your hands."

"Oh, they are all children, I can't cure them?"

Whose voice was it that instantly blew into his cloud-covered world like a gust of wind... Suddenly, he raised his eyes with difficulty and looked up.

A pair of straight long legs squatted down in front of him, and the golden backlight came from behind the man, stabbing his eyes with pain, and he shed tears almost instantly.In the dazzling and fascinating morning sun, this man stared at him with dark and bright eyes, showing a bit of a smile.

"The boy with black hair and black eyes is quite handsome." The man asked him with a smirk, "Would you like to brush my brother's shoes?"

He was in extreme embarrassment, weeping and trembling, but staring at the man's face, unwilling to let go for a moment.

At that moment, he saw the sun.

In the first half of his life, he was destined to be stingy, and he was born like catkins, humble and without support, living in the mud and dirty all over.I thought this was just the end, but someone walked through the fog and stepped on the mud to his side, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

Perhaps from that moment on, he was doomed to stare at the rising sun paranoidly in this life.

Even if the rising sun is too far away, even if the dazzling rising sun will make him cry.

But he also died without regrets.

……

"Yeah, at that time you were as dirty as a drowned puppy, and you became so big in a blink of an eye." Zhuo Yue laughed, "But in fact, among the bunch of kids that day, most of them were Taller and stronger than you. Do you know why I chose you?"

Xiao Ga shook his head.

"Hey, there's no reason." Zhuo Yue snorted vigorously and pushed the back of his head, "I took you away without even looking at other people in that group. It means that even if someone is better than you , but your life is better than others, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to stand out from the crowd, would you?”

Xiao Ga looked at him speechlessly.

Zhuo Yue was a little embarrassed, and grinned: "So, didn't you explain well?"

After a long silence, Xiao Ga suddenly smiled briefly: "You are right, I am indeed better than Li Changxing."

I met you five years earlier than him.

From now on, no matter how many years pass, I will always spend five years with you more than him.

Zhuo Yue didn't know why he suddenly became enlightened, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Then he suddenly remembered that Li Changxing asked him to explain the relationship between the two of them to Xiaoga. Isn't it a good time now?

"Well, there's something I want to tell you." Zhuo Yue was a little embarrassed, tangled for a moment and said, "Don't be too surprised after you hear it... Tsk, what do you say about this matter? It's about me and Chang Li It's okay... Well, actually, the two of us—"

"Brother Zhuo." Xiao Ga interrupted him suddenly.

"what?"

Xiao Ga put away his bow and arrow: "Let's go, go back and have another drink."

"Ah - this, okay." Zhuo Yue had to swallow the words again.

He will always be jealous of the morning glow and flowing clouds that accompany the rising sun.

But so what.

No one can take away his right to look up at the rising sun.

The author has something to say: I was a little sad when I wrote about Xiao Ga.

How to say his feelings for Brother Zhuo, it should not be regarded as liking, but more of faith.

This kind of relationship is very firm but also very humble... Distressed (tears)
