Snake Tale

The night when he slept alone was still chilly with the autumn wind, and Luo Yi no longer woke up drenched in cold sweat due to nightmares, because he never closed his eyes all night.Lying on the couch, Kong listened to the rustling of branches and leaves blown by the cold wind outside the window, the sound was hollow and monotonous, like a boat that lost its oar and was spinning blankly in the middle of the lake.

Finally couldn't help turning over and staying on the bed.He left the room alone, and quietly went to Shen Yuzhu's residence.There was still a little candlelight shining through the cramped small window, presumably he would not leave without saying goodbye.But can I just knock on the door and greet each other?There is nothing extra to say when we meet, unless he is willing to give in—ask yourself, is he really willing to overthrow all glorious visions, live in the back alleys, and be with the humble philistine, mediocrity and vulgarity?A year and a half, maybe he can bear it, but when it comes to his whole life, can he really be willing?Then, the answer to the choice is obvious.Hui Jian cut the thread of love, naturally there should be a bit of generosity, but Luo Yi just felt bewildered.With clasped hands and propped on his chin, he stared blankly at a little candle in the low ear room, like a ship lost in the dark boundless ocean, looking desperately at the flickering lighthouse.

Unknowingly, he waited in a daze for several hours, and didn't even realize that the moon was setting and the morning was approaching.But when he heard the click of the door bolt, his whole body shivered instantly, and he sat up straight.Shen Yuzhu walked out with blue eyes, and couldn't help being startled when he saw him.Lowering his eyes, he nonchalantly raised a stack of papers in his hand, and said softly, "The prescription you want."

Luo Yi was startled when he heard the words, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.Shen Yuzhu walked a few steps closer, only then saw the wet dew on the wheelchair, and said in a daze, "How long have you been waiting here?" As soon as he grabbed his hand, his fingers felt cold.It turned out that when Luo Yi came out, he even forgot to put on his coat.

Shen Yuzhu knelt down on his knees, opened his robe and embraced his purple knees from the cold into his arms.Luo Yi stared at him in a daze, even though there were thousands of words, they were just stuck in his throat at the moment, but Shen Yuzhu said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Luo Yi trembled.Shen Yuzhu said gently: "You have enough troubles, I shouldn't force you like this, let alone embarrass you in public." After a pause, he said: "Don't worry, I won't leave at this time .I will be by your side until..."

He stopped, staring blankly at the dying remnant night in the sky, and said softly:

"Until the day you get what you want."

He buried his head quietly in his lap.The golden morning glow finally pierced through the clouds and dawned, and the sky was urging on, only to realize that life was one day less.After a long time, Shen Yuzhu raised his head and smiled at him, saying, "Let's go."

Three days later, the Qi army made a surprise attack and snatched the enemy's rations with lightning speed.Even the rest of the inconvenient transport equipment in Kaimeng City were all doused with hot oil and burned to the ground.However, what really frightened the Yan army was not only that the Qi army in this raid was only a few thousand people, and they disrupted the so-called million-strong coalition army into a mess, but that the leader of this Qingqi was actually a few days ago. Yu Xing's Luo Yi.

After some deliberate exaggeration and exaggeration, all the soldiers and civilians of Qi State believed without doubt that the miraculous recovery of the coach was undoubtedly the blessing of heaven, and it was Qi Zuo's endless miracle.Some bizarre rumors even circulated in the army. Some survivors of the previous generation eagerly discussed the prophecy of Duke Huan, speculating on the mysterious life experience of the commander who saved Qi from the fire and water. More than one person vowed that his blue eyes Exactly the same as today's queen mother.Under the guidance of this, the soldiers and the common people became more and more morale-boosted, and they also felt that the commander-in-chief was the one who was truly chosen by heaven.

Riding on this vigor, the Qi army began to switch from defense to offense, and took the initiative to attack several times in a row, but unexpectedly achieved small gains.Shen Yuzhu leaned on the crumbling low wall, watching the fully loaded grain trucks being pulled into the city one by one.The people gathered around the returning army. Everyone cheered and celebrated, but he folded his arms and looked indifferently at the blood-stained general on his horse.Luo Yi seemed to turn his eyes to meet him for a moment.However, there are black clothes everywhere, gray faces, and they are so far apart, it is even more likely that he didn't recognize him at all.

On the school grounds in the inner city that day, Shen Yuzhu was squatting in front of an old car and repairing the tenon with a chisel making a "bang bang" sound.He stopped the chisel in his hand and looked at him, only to hear Feng Wei say: "The details of the city's population, food and grass have been sorted out, and you can present it to the general when you go to see the general today."

Shen Yuzhu shook his head, biting the long nails on his teeth, and said vaguely: "Madam Feng should take care of himself."

"Hey?"

Shen Yuzhu took out the spikes from between his teeth, and said slowly: "The general's guards have changed... I haven't seen him for many days."

Feng Wei stood in front of him with his hands on his hips, his face full of astonishment, and he realized: "Fall out of favor?"

Shen Yuzhu smiled and said, "Isn't it unusual for autumn fans to be donated when the sky is cool and the wind blows?"

Feng Wei hesitated to speak, let out a long sigh, sat down beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded him earnestly: "This is not bad! How many times can you get better by doing things to others with sex? tree, you must not imitate the flower of the sky..."

Shen Yuzhu showed shame on his face, and just nodded repeatedly, seeing that Feng Wei was very pleased, and he continued to talk more and more. He had many good words to give to this young man who had lost his way, but he saw a soldier guarding the city walking over, He opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Shen, there is a guest who wants to meet the general, please guide him."

Shen Yuzhu was startled, Feng Wei thought he was in a bad mood, stood up and said: "Let me do it, it just so happens that I have some military affairs to report to the general—"

The soldier smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your kindness. However, this guest claims to be Mr. Shen's old friend, so Mr. Dao and Mr. Fei must come to pick him up."

Luo Yiman poured a cup of juicy and fragrant tea, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't know Mr. Duanmu came from a long way, but there is a long way to welcome him. When he is away on an expedition, everything is simple and thin, so he has to serve him with coarse tea instead of wine. , please forgive me."

Sitting on the opposite side of the table is Duan Muyong, a businessman from Qi State.But seeing that he was not very ashamed, he bowed again and again and said, "Why did you say that, general? Although I am in Jimo, I have heard that the general and his soldiers share food and drink, share joys and sorrows, lie down without a seat, and walk without riding." Cheng, take the lead and win the food, take the lead and manage the army well, and have won several battles in recent days, so you know that I have won General Luo in Daqi, and there is hope for the restoration of the country."

After some perfunctory greetings between the two, Luo Yi calmly cut to the chase and asked Duanmuyong why he was personally involved in the front line.Duan Muyong also asked straightforwardly: "General Luo, how long will the army's food supply last?"

Luo Yi said: "The robbing of grain was successful the day before yesterday, and the grain in the army is still abundant. It is estimated that it can last until the beginning of next spring."

Duan Muyong smiled slightly: "Is that really the case? It is easy for the general to block the grain road with elite soldiers and light cavalry, and burn down the enemy's granary, but it is impractical to transport all the heavy grain and grass back. What's more, the large-scale recruitment and replenishment of troops in Qi territory recently, presumably money and grain The scarcity will only get worse?"

Luo Yi sighed lightly: "Mr. Duanmu is worthy of being a talented person in Qingyan Mansion, and his vision is as bright as a torch. If the money and food needed for conscription are taken into account, our army's food and grass may only last until the end of this year."

Duanmuyong said solemnly: "General Luo, I don't avoid soldiers and come from a long way. Does the general still believe me?"

Luo Yi asked with a half-smile, "Mr. Duanmu, why did you say that?"

Duan Muyong said seriously: "General, don't lie to me anymore, the food in the army can only last for another month - right?"

Thinking of who was the person who escorted Duanmu Yong, Luo Yi stopped pretending to deceive each other, put on a serious and earnest face, and said: "Mr. Duanmu, please forgive me for my difficulty, in fact, the Qi State has conquered for many years, and there is no shortage of money, food and military equipment. However, it is very difficult to rekindle morale in the army. Even if the situation is difficult, the commander must try his best to support it. How can he give up lightly because of the shortage of food and grass?"

Duan Muyong said: "If I provide another 80 stones of grain and grass, and [-] bows, crossbows and rattan armor, will the general be able to drive Beiyan Diyi out of the east of Yanzhi Mountain within this year?"
