"Hey, Sun Da, your father is leaving tomorrow?"

"No, he went to Yuzhou this morning."

"Ah, so fast—I heard that he also became an officer? So powerful!"

Sun Ce straightened his chest and raised his chin slightly:

"Of course, my father is the best!"

Winter has just passed, and it is warm and cold.Shouchun in early March still carries the chill of the end of winter, and the bright sunlight shines on the ground covered with fine grass in Yangzhou, slightly dispelling the air-conditioning.

"He was conscripted to Yuzhou, where he served as the commander of the army, played the Yellow Turban, and defended his family and the country."

The sun came out today, and the temperature was higher than yesterday. The children formed a circle and exchanged information with each other. The heat was steaming, but it was warm.

As soon as Sun Ce's words of "protecting the family and the country" fell, the children around gave out "wow—" in admiration.

In fact, Sun Jian's Zuojun Sima was only the lowest-ranking officer, and he could count the number of soldiers under him, which is really nothing commendable.

However, to 11-year-old civilian children, "Zhonglang Jiang" and "Zuojun Sima" sound similar, and they probably mean officers.

In their eyes, officers are divided into two types, one is "general" and the other is "others". Now that Sun Jian has become a certain Sima, he is No.2 behind the general.

Shouchun is similar to Fuchun, both are not very big places, but the population is slightly more.Except for necessary matters such as hiring tenant farmers, the aristocratic family has little contact with the villagers, so there is no sense of presence here.

The children rarely saw them, and their understanding of various official positions was very limited. When they first heard that the father of a friend around him had become a general who was about to go to the battlefield, they were very excited and felt that they were one step closer to the "big event in the world". I am so honored.

"Zuojun Sima, that's amazing!

General Sun is so powerful, he will definitely be able to drive away the Yellow Turbans! "

Although the movement of the Yellow Turban Army was big, it did not affect this small county of Yangzhou for the time being, so the children could still gather under the tree at this time, biting the grass roots to discuss this important event.

Jiang Jia Erlang asked: "Sun Da, I heard that it was Luo Yang's general who recruited your father. There are tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, right?"

The children then turned to look at Sun Ce.He is very popular among the children, and his father, Sun Jian, is also very great. He drove away many bandits in the surrounding area, so everyone loves to hear him talk about family affairs.

Sun Ce just moved in a few years ago.The child showed his talent in riding and shooting when he was eight or nine years old. He often rode the family's bay red pony and galloped across the fields while holding the family's adult's red-tasseled gun. His black forehead fluttered behind his head, looking majestic. Extremely.

Everyone was a little afraid of him at first, because in Yangzhou, children who can ride horses seemed a bit out of reach.Fortunately, Sun Ce likes to laugh and has a good temper, and he makes friends very quickly. In less than half a month, he became friends with children of the same age as Shouchun.

Jiang Jiaerlang was the first to get acquainted with him, because that day Sun Ce wore a red and white short robe and ran a horse on the wild, but his forehead was black.

He stared at it for a long time, then suddenly closed his hands, curled them up like a small trumpet, and shouted to him:

"Why don't you - don't wear -

Red—forehead band—? "

Sun Ce stopped his horse in front of him.

"I gave it to someone because of the red forehead belt." He answered Jiang Erlang in this way.

Jiang Er didn't ask more questions at the time, but Sun Ce chatted with him about other things, such as longevity spring and winter are longer than Jun Wu's, and the eggs in the bird's nest on the tree are not too big. These are children's interest, so the two Individuals get acquainted quickly.

Jiang Erlang knew that the person Sun Ce mentioned was in Luoyang, and he also knew that Sun Ce would pay more attention to the imperial capital than other places, so when chatting with his friends today, when he mentioned "General Luoyang", he unconsciously looked at him more Two eyes.

Sun Ce didn't notice his gaze, so he nodded naturally, and answered the questioning Fan Jiashilang:

"It's General Youzhong, his name is Zhu Jun (jùn)."

"You Zhonglang!" The children didn't quite understand the meaning of this official title, but it didn't stop them from continuing to marvel.

Sun Ce is smart, has a good memory, and can ride a horse and shoot arrows. He is good-looking, and he vaguely has the meaning of a child king.As soon as he spoke, everyone was amazed again.

Fan Jiasilang: "Sun Da, your father is really good! If he wins, will he go to Luoyang to receive the reward?

I heard that the eldest brother of the Chen family said that the streets in Luoyang are paved with stone slabs, so I really want to see him. "

Sun Ce said: "Maybe, there are so many people in the Yellow Turban Army, and I don't know when my father will come back—hey, forget it!"

As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and prepared to leave.

"Hey?! Sun Da, why are you leaving?"

Seeing him walking back, Jiang Erlang made a gesture to pull him. Sun Ce felt him approaching, and immediately turned his head, looking at him vigilantly: "Jiang Er, what are you doing?"

"Are you leaving now, Sun Da? The sun hasn't set yet, we can play for a while."

"No," he turned his head and waved at the children, "I just remembered that I haven't written this month's letter, so I'm leaving now. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do!"

The protagonist who was talking about the topic left, and the focus of the discussion disappeared immediately. A group of half-grown children had no choice but to look at each other on the spot.

Besides Sun Jia Dalang, Jiang Jia Erlang is the one who has the best relationship with him and is the most able to talk to him here.

The younger sister of the Chen family tilted her head and looked at the direction Sun Ce was going away: "Jiang Er, his father just left this morning, who is he in a hurry to write to now?"

Jiang Jiaerlang only knew a little bit of the inside story, but he was not sure. He saw the curious eyes of everyone in the circle, and didn't know how to express it for a while, so he had to say:

"Maybe...he forgot to tell General Sun about something?"

Chen Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and she actually believed it: "Ah, so that's the case, General Sun really worked hard."

……

"Brother!"

Four-year-old Sun Quan jumped in front of him and hugged his thigh:

"Father is not here today, brother came back very early today."

With all his strength, Sun Ce lifted him up by the clothes behind his neck, pointed his nose at him, and looked at his younger brother seriously: "Father will not be here tomorrow."

"Ah..." Sun Quan pursed his lips.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and many days after that, he will not be here."

"Brother..." Sun Quan was about to cry.

Only then did Sun Ce put down his younger brother contentedly, patted his round head, and let him play while he walked towards the living room.

Madam Wu's voice came from the room: "A Ce, are you bullying your brother again?"

"I didn't," Sun Ceba replied in a high voice, "I'm reasoning with him."

As he answered, he walked into the room and saw Mrs. Wu embroidering Sun Quan's new clothes with her head down.

Sun Quan was born a few years ago, because of the strange color of his eyes, it attracted a lot of discussion, saying that Bi Yan'er looks different from ordinary people, and he may have great achievements in the future.

At that time, Sun Ce was seven years old. He stared at Sun Quan, who was crumpled in his swaddling baby, and kept looking into his eyes. After a long time, he raised his head and asked his mother, "Is it like this when Ah Chu was born?"

He still remembers this friend.

Probably because the farewell was too hasty, he had an unusual concern for Ah Chu, his short-lived childhood playmate.

Sun Jian's official position changed very quickly, often from county magistrate in one county to magistrate in another county, his promotion was very slow, and he often had to move.Although Sun Ce has a cheerful personality, he can't afford to change a group of playmates around him every two or three years. Occasionally, when he feels lost, he will think of Ah Chu, and think that she and he are the most compatible.

At that time, Jiang Jiaerlang asked him "why don't you wear a red forehead scarf when you are wearing a red dress?" He replied that the forehead wipe had been given to her, and he was referring to Ah Chu.

Of course, the red wiping forehead can be embroidered again, but he has not seen his friend for a long time, and he feels disappointed, and he is unwilling to abandon the memory of the time of the night drive, so he secretly made up his mind, in order to commemorate Ah Chu, after the reunion. Before, I didn't wear red eyebrows.

However, Mrs. Wu didn't make things for him very often recently, and she was sewing clothes for Sun Quan more often.

Children grow fast and can grow taller in the blink of an eye, so Sun Quan's clothes need to be changed frequently.So Sun Ce could only wear the black one, but he sometimes wears red, which really doesn't match the color, so it's no wonder Jiang Erlang asked him why.

Sun Ce had complicated feelings for his younger brother. Every time he saw his green eyes, he couldn't help thinking of his friend in Luoyang. Therefore, when Sun Quan was born, he was depressed for several days.

Mrs. Wu had a very clear insight into his thoughts, and she didn't think he was dissatisfied with his younger brother's arrival:

"When Ah Ce saw little brother, did he think of someone?"

Seven-year-old Sun Ce replied obediently: "I thought of Ah Chu. But she is in Luoyang, it is too far away."

Mrs. Wu patted his head and taught Sun Ce to write to her.

Achu's family is in Luoyang, far away from Yangzhou, Sun Ce can't rush to visit her, but he can write to her and chat with her about the things around him.

Two years ago, that is, the year Ah Chu returned from Fuchun, news suddenly came from the capital, saying that Situ Liu He, Shi Zhong Fu Wan and others had killed more than half of the eunuchs, and that His Majesty would reward them and detain many prisoners. The scholars in prison were released.

It has been half a year since the news reached Yangzhou.When he heard the name "Fu Wan", his heart immediately rose, and he quickly grabbed Sun Jian's clothes:

"What about Ah Chu? How is Ah Chu?"

The news came from Luoyang, just a few short sentences, the most specific name is Liu He Fuwan, how can a girl as young as Ah Chu get involved in such a thing?

He had no choice but to ambiguously talk to his puppy-eyed son:

"Ah Chu... Ah Chu should be fine.

By the way, didn't your mother ask you to write to her?I'll ask someone to bring you the bamboo slips. If you want to know anything, you can ask her yourself. "

Sun Ce felt that his father was right, and immediately turned around and entered the room.

His family has practiced martial arts for generations, and usually avoids paper and pen like snakes and no one cares about him. It is rare that he is in a hurry to ask for a pen, ink and inkstone today, and the servants in the family laugh secretly when they see it.

Since then, another six years have passed in a flash.Sun Ce and Ah Chu's habit of exchanging letters has also been preserved, and it has not changed for many years.

The 11-year-old Sun Ce has matured a lot. He has realized that the world will never be peaceful, and everyone will be pushed away by the times. Even his father, who is outstanding in martial arts and can single-handedly fight hundreds of bandits, will inevitably have to do this. travel far.

This year, the Yellow Turban Army started, and Luoyang was in critical condition. Even Sun Jian, who was far away in Yangzhou, was conscripted into the army. I don't know what the situation is like in the imperial capital.

Sun Ce bid farewell to his father this morning, chatted with his companions in the afternoon, and when he heard them mention Luo Yang again, he felt a little uneasy again.

He took out a volume of diabolo slips from the bookshelf, called for pens and ink, and stared at the tabletop for a while.

Finally, he picked up the pen and wrote two lines crookedly on it——

Ah Chu:

See the word as the face.
