Rebirth of Tao Yao

King Yan walked very quickly, or he had the confidence to leave, and he couldn't wait to leave.

On the second day after he went to the General's Mansion, the reorganized Wang Jia was ready and left the border town.It's just that after the previous disaster, the carriage was recaptured from the Hu Bing at the south gate, and more than half of the Imperial Forest Army and accompanying soldiers were also lost. The originally mighty team of thousands of people was less than three points when they left the border town. One of them, not even a few of the twelve guards left.

It is already dangerous for such a team to walk on the border, but Yan Li, who came to see him off, did not propose to send soldiers and horses from the border city to escort him. He was about to die, and the remaining soldiers and horses were enough to escort the father and daughter of King Yan back to Beijing. There was no need for the Yan family to do anything more under such circumstances.

King Yan walked quite briskly, and when the group of them left the border town, the border town, which had been tossing for more than a month, completely returned to calm.

Because of seeing him off, Yan Li was delayed for another day and was unable to go to Wen's house. After returning home, he briefly explained to his father and went back to his own yard.Not long after stepping into the courtyard gate, I heard a rustling sound from the corner of the wall, and Yan Li walked over with a turn of footsteps.

Xiaobai crawled out of the dog hole in the corner, his snow-white fur was also stained with a lot of dust, and he couldn't wait to shake his fur after running into the yard.Then it found its owner who was close at hand, and immediately ran up excitedly wagging its tail, jumping and screaming around Yan Li, until it attracted enough attention, then sat down in front of Yan Li and took Round eyes looked at her.

Yan Li lowered his head and took a look at the pup's face full of compliments. He smiled slightly, and under the pup's expectant gaze, he took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and handed it to the pup's mouth. .

This is Yan Li's new snack. Apart from eating it by himself occasionally, most of the time it is prepared for Xiaobai. The jerky meat is delicious and hard.For someone like Yan Li who likes sweets, jerky is not very attractive, but Xiao Bai likes it very much, and it is just right to use it as a reward.

Sure enough, the pup's eyes lit up when he saw the jerky, he opened his mouth and bit the jerky, and his little tail wagged even more happily.

Yan Li glanced at the pup's flying tail, and felt better for no reason.She casually stroked Xiaobai's dog's head, then untied the note pinned to the puppy's collar, and went back to the room contentedly.

This is the second letter that Xiao Bai brought back from Wen's house.When she was trying to write a letter yesterday, she was still worried that her method would not work, and if she was not ready, she would replace it with more troublesome wooden block lettering.Unexpectedly, Wen Ziran was so powerful, she just made the ink for writing thicker, and she could recognize the little traces, but the reply was a bit simple, only three words "I know".

Today's letter is the reply that Yan Li wrote for Xiaobai to deliver again before going out in the morning.

Yan Li unfolded the paper, and read Wen Ziran's reply at a glance.Compared with yesterday's simple three words, the content of today's letter is obviously much more, but this is also because of the different content of Yan Li's letter and the different responses it received.

After reading the letter, Yan Li frowned and murmured: "Begonia..."

In fact, I wrote a letter yesterday to explain the situation. Daoming might not be able to go to Wen's house in the near future. There is no need for Yan Li to send a letter to Wen's house today.But I just tried to exchange letters, and the little general was not fresh, so I just wrote another letter this morning for Xiaobai to send.In the letter, apart from explaining that he was going to see King Yan off today and that he could no longer go to Wen's house, he also asked Wen Ziran what he liked.

The reason for asking this is because Yan Li was still thinking about giving gifts to please her, but she herself didn't know what to give Wen Ziran.In front of Wen Ziran before, she was embarrassed to ask directly, but now there is no problem in writing a letter.

Wen Ziran didn't evade the answer either, and in his reply letter he bluntly stated that he likes crabapple flowers.

It was a headache for Yan Li to get this answer, because at this time of year, the flowering period of crabapple flowers has long passed, and it is impossible to find another crabapple flower in the entire border town.She did remember that there was a crabapple in the small courtyard rented by Wen's mother and daughter. When she went to help move, it was the season of crabapple blooming, but now there is a pear tree planted in Wen's small courtyard, and now it is fruiting A lot of pears.

The little general began to think secretly about the possibility of digging that crabapple tree back...

****************************************************************************

Digging up trees is impossible. A tree that is several decades old cannot be dug up at all, and it will be even more troublesome if it cannot be replanted after being dug up.So on the second day, Miss Wen didn't receive a whole tree as a gift, she only found a hairpin on Xiao Bai's collar.

Wen Ziran's hands are very sharp, and she can distinguish the words written in thick ink on the paper. She simply touched the hairpin once, and she knew it in her heart - the wooden hairpin made of sandalwood has a faint fragrance , was polished quite meticulously, but the workmanship was a bit rough. There were a few small flowers engraved on the hairpin, but she couldn't figure out what kind of flowers they were after touching it for a long time.

Although it can't be touched, it is not difficult to guess.

Sure enough, after Wen Ziran carefully read the note that came with the hairpin, her guess was confirmed.The wooden hairpin was engraved with the crabapple flower she said she liked yesterday, and this hairpin was not bought by Yan Li, but she made it by herself after spending a whole day yesterday.It's just the first time I do it, the workmanship is rough, and the carved flowers don't look like it.

The little general promised in the letter that she would make a hairpin every day, and she would definitely be able to carve crabapple flowers!

Gifts don't need to be expensive, especially for these naive boys and girls, a heart is far more moving than an expensive gift.Although Wen Ziran had many years more experience than she actually did, and her mentality was not as innocent as a real girl, but she could not help but pursed her lips and frowned when she received this carefully prepared gift and received that swearing guarantee.

Putting away the note, Wen Ziran, who was caressing the wooden hairpin carefully, didn't know that her every move had already fallen into Qin Yunshu's eyes.The latter glanced at his daughter with complicated eyes, and then at the white dog who suddenly ran home for three days in a row. After all, he just sighed and didn't say anything.

In the next few days, Xiaobai really came every day, and would give Wen Ziran a wooden hairpin every day. The workmanship was rough but smooth, and it was not fake at all.Wen Ziran groped, and could feel that the wooden hairpin became more and more refined, and the crabapple flowers carved on it gradually took on a certain shape. One can imagine how much effort Yan Li spent to make such a hairpin by himself.

Turning around, Wen Ziran took out a small box from the bedside, and after opening it, he could see that there were seven or eight sandalwood hairpins lying neatly inside.She lightly stroked these hairpins with her fingertips, then put the new one she got today into it, then closed the box and put it away again.

Seven or eight days of hard work were enough for Yan Li, a novice carpenter who was not stupid, to gradually make progress in carving.

Similarly, seven or eight days of effort was enough for General Yan, who had recovered well, to get out of bed and walk after his injury improved.He took care of his injuries for half a month, and also lay in bed for half a month. This was unbearable for a general who always liked to wield knives and guns, so once he got Dr. Wu's approval, Yan Qing didn't delay at all. Get up and move around.

Due to the huge wound on his abdomen that had finally healed, he didn't have to think about feasting the general with knives and guns, but it didn't hurt to walk around the general's mansion.General Yan, who walked out of the main courtyard, was the first to go to Yan Li's courtyard.

The soldier reported in Yan Qing's ear: "The little general hasn't gone out recently, it seems that he is newly fascinated by carpentry. In the past two days, people have sent a lot of good wood into the yard." It’s Xiaodao, go quickly and persuade the little general, don’t let him lose his mind.”

If everyone in the army called Yan Li a "Little General" just because of the prestige of Yan Qing and the Yan family, then after Yan Li led the remnant soldiers to attack the enemy camp at night, captured the barbarian prince alive, and made a series of achievements, everyone called him It also became convincing.They determined that Yan Li was the successor of the Yan family, so naturally they couldn't just watch her stop practicing martial arts and carve wood instead.

Although Yan Qing was surprised after hearing this, he still felt good—even if a girl plays with wood, it is more reliable than playing with knives and guns!

Wanting to think about it, but after being able to move around, Yan Qing went to Yan Li's yard immediately, intending to see what she was doing these days.You know, just before Yan Li closed the door to make wooden hairpins, she was still focused on running to Wen's house next door. At that time, Yan Qing raised the fence and made foolish words, thinking that she could lock people up for three to five days at most. Unexpectedly, three to five days passed, seven or eight days passed, and Yan Li hadn't left the house yet.

It's incredible!After all, even before Wen Ziran appeared, with Yan Li's restless temperament, it was impossible to endure the life of being locked up in the small courtyard for seven or eight days...Suddenly, his temperament changed drastically. Isn't A Limo sick? !

Silently crossing out the thought of "broken brain" in his mind, Yan Qing was concerned about his injuries, and walked into Yan Li's yard with unhurried steps, what he saw was exactly what the soldiers said ——In the sunny courtyard, Yan Li was sitting under a tree, holding a piece of wood in one hand, and a carving knife in the other.

Under the sunlight, the boy's side face was exquisite and handsome, and his concentrated appearance seemed to form a world of its own.

It was rare for Yan Qing to see Yan Li's calm appearance, but he could vaguely see the shadow of his wife from her body.He was stunned for a moment, and after a while he called out: "A Li."

Yan Li was carving, when the carving knife in his hand turned, sawdust flew down.Hearing this cry, she finally came back to her senses, and looked at her father in surprise: "Daddy, why are you here?!"

Yan Qing didn't answer, staring at the basically formed wooden hairpin in Yan Li's hand and asked: "What are you doing?"

Yan Li blinked, but still replied straightforwardly: "It's a gift for Zi Ran."
