Chapter 30 Goodbye Hometown
The sky in Lingyin County fell again after a few days.
Zhang Xiaodao, who had wooden boards on both hands and wrists, sat at the foot of Beishan Mountain. He looked up at the new grave and snow. The scenery was not as shocking as it was, but it had a unique feeling of parting.
Wang Daniu squatted beside Zhang Xiaodao, rubbing his hands constantly, and occasionally unscrewed the worn wine pot to feed Zhang Xiaodao a sip of wine. He just waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Zhang Xiaodao's poetic excitement, and he was silent.
Wang Daniu didn't speak, as if he didn't know how to comfort people with words, but since the major change in Lingyin County, he has been by Zhang Xiaodao's side. In the words of Monk Fayi, Wang Daniu must be the one who did better than he said.
The two of them sat in front of the grave like this, staring blankly at the snow.
Although the snow was heavy, it seemed particularly soft because there was no wind. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers gathered together, covering the sky and the sun, giving people a sense of oppression.
A piece of snowflake pressed on Zhang Xiaodao's face and quickly melted into sporadic water stains. He wiped it off and finally said, "Brother Big Niu, I want to cry."
Wang Daniu scratched his head and said disrespectfully: "Why are you crying, why are you crying? Have a drink at the bar."
As he said that, Wang Daniu handed the wine pot to Zhang Xiaodao's mouth.
"Gudu Gudu!" Zhang Xiaodao tried to drink as much as possible until Wang Daniu took off the wine pot.
The wine is a wine marinade, which is extremely inferior, but it is strong because it is strong. It burns like a line of fire after entering the mouth, which makes Zhang Xiaodao's originally pale face turn rosy.
This is how Wang Daniu comforts Zhang Xiaodao. Simply put, it is to block your mouth...
Zhang Xiaodao didn't know if Wang Daniu thought that if he blocked his mouth, he would no longer be sad. He really wanted to find someone who could talk a little at this time.
Jiang Qiu played this role very well. For some reason, she changed into a floral cotton jacket. She looked a little local. She sat next to Zhang Xiaodao, picked up a wine pot that looked several grades higher than the rag in Wang Daniu's hand, and took a big sip.
When Zhang Xiaodao smelled this, he knew that the wine in Jiang Qiu's hand was also a low-quality wine mash from Lingyin County. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you drinking this too?"
Jiang Qiu, who was obviously a little spicy, let out a breath of arrows, but said in a shocking voice: "I want to empathize with it."
"I deserve your empathy?" Zhang Xiaodao said helplessly.
Jiang Qiu raised his pretty face, put his hands in the snow without hesitation, narrowed his eyes that usually looked colorless and said, "I asked you if you like me."
Wang Daniu still got off the wine pot at this time, without saying anything, and walked away with tactfulness.
Zhang Xiaodao was helpless: "I thought you were joking."
Jiang Qiu shook his head and said, "It was a bit joking at the time, but now it doesn't. I'm very serious."
Zhang Xiaodao said helplessly: "I should know that I am not in the mood to talk about this now."
Jiang Qiu turned his face and looked at Zhang Xiaodao for no reason and asked, "Do you know that men touched women the most at that moment?"
Zhang Xiaodao didn't speak, but Jiang Qiu obviously didn't plan to let him speak, and said directly: "I think it's a time to concentrate on doing something."
"I've impressed you?"
"yes."
"when?"
"When you know the power of the Great Wilderness leader, you still move forward and take out a kitchen knife to chop him."
Zhang Xiaodao didn't know that at that moment, Jiang Qiu shed the third time she had ever had since she became sensible, and felt extremely distressed for him. He said boredly: "I'm talking like a gangster."
"If someone is willing to do something like this for me, I think it's worth it."
Zhang Xiaodao looked at Jiang Qiu and said seriously: "I really have a wife."
Jiang Qiu raised his eyebrows, as if he really thought Zhang Xiaodao was joking before, and then took a sip of the wine pot and said, "Really?"
"Really." Zhang Xiaodao replied with certainty.
The two of them fell silent at this time. After a moment, Zhang Xiaodao said awkwardly: "It's a little cold, I want to have a drink."
Jiang Qiu smiled and looked at Zhang Xiaodao's disabled hands, picked up his wine pot and handed it to Zhang Xiaodao's mouth.
Zhang Xiaodao was even more embarrassed. He knew that this place was not modern, and it was not a big deal for men and women to drink a bottle of drink together.
Jiang Qiu knew his concerns, but said in a very affirmative tone: "It's okay."
Zhang Xiaodao didn't understand. The three words "It doesn't matter" mean that it doesn't matter if you have a wife, or it doesn't matter if you take a sip of wine.
Jiang Qiu seemed to see through his thoughts and added: "It doesn't matter."
In the end, Zhang Xiaodao drank the wine. The spout did not have the remaining lip scent of Jiang Qiu, but only the spicy taste of the inferior wine mash.
Jiang Qiu put away the wine pot, put it on his waist and said, "I'll leave."
"Let's go."
Jiang Qiu stood up, smiled happily, looked at the heavy snow all over the sky, and left quietly with light steps.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled and looked at the departure back until he disappeared from him, Jiang Qiu disappeared from his sight, sighed, understanding that Jiang Qiu misunderstood the meaning of this sip of wine, but couldn't bear to point it out.
Then he laughed at himself, feeling that he might have been overthinking the future of the two must be completely different. This sip of wine is not an agreement, even if it is, time will smooth everything out.
Thinking of this, he remembered Wang Luohan again. He never met again in his dream after she left, but this did not make Zhang Xiaodao feel unable to stand it, but he just felt that his longing became more and more prosperous.
Just as he was thinking about it, a heavy voice came from Zhang Xiaodao's ears.
"How are your hands?"
Zhang Xiaodao looked up and saw the middle-aged man Li Yi, who looked ordinary, and the donkey named Dahei.
Zhang Xiaodao has heard of the name Li Yi very early, and there are even many folk stories praising the ordinary middle-aged man in front of him.
Later, the mother-in-law threw down four letters, including one of Li Yi, and Wang Luohan also suggested that Xiaodao go to find Li Yi and go to the border army.
But when the middle-aged man sat next to him, Zhang Xiaodao did not feel a sense of estrangement because of all the previous hearings.
Instead, he felt a natural sense of intimacy. He didn't know if it was because of that night that Li Yi killed all the people in the Great Wilderness in Lingyin County. He just subconsciously looked at the wooden board's fixed hands and said, "It's okay, just hold it for two months."
Li Yi pointed at him, and Da Hei leaned closer. He took out a seemingly broken bottle of medicine from Da Hei's pocket and said, "It's okay to apply some."
Zhang Xiaodao raised his chest, Li Yi stuffed the medicine bottle into his secret bag of his cotton jacket, and said bluntly: "Go to the border army?"
Zhang Xiaodao nodded without any hesitation and said, "Okay."
Li Yi smiled. He originally thought that this kid must be a very stubborn person from his style of conduct, and it was not easy to convince him, but he didn't expect that this kid was so straightforward.
Naturally, he didn't know that Zhang Xiaodao had already thought about it and praised: "Good."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaodao decided not to take out his mother-in-law's letter. First, there is no need to hold it now, and secondly, there is no need.
"Will Wang Daniu go?" Li Yi asked. Obviously, one night, Wang Daniu also made the general look at him with admiration.
"You have to ask him, I guess it's hard."
"Why?"
"Because he still has a dad at home."
"Filial son." Li Yi felt more and more that Zhang Xiaodao and Wang Daniu were particularly pleasing to him.
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Give me some wine."
Li Yi took out the wine pot and said, "Try this."
Zhang Xiaodao took a sip and immediately choked and burst into tears, saying, "Is there any wine that is worse than Lingyin County wine?"
Li Yi laughed and said, "Bian Jun'er loves this, you have to adapt."
Zhang Xiaodao, who had a red face, felt the heat in his body rising and asked, "By the way, General, I grew up listening to your stories when I was a child. Isn't it all true?"
Li Yi didn't expect Zhang Xiaodao to be interested in these things, so he said helplessly: "I don't know what is spreading me outside."
"The story outside is called Li Yidao, who once killed 300 people in the Great Wilderness with one knife."
"It's the limit to be able to kill a hundred."
"In the story, you once ate the flesh and blood of the deserted people, and were alone in the Great Wilderness Military Camp three times?"
"The steamed buns you eat are just in and out."
"In the story, you say you are angry and have three heads and six arms."
I really couldn't stand this absurd and unruly rumor, and Li Yi smiled and said, "Treasure."
"They said that when you were young, you broke your calf with bare hands..."
"Bad." Li Yi said helplessly.
"This is very scientific. If you tore up all the calf, you will naturally pull the calf's eggs."
Li Yi helped his forehead and said, "Let's go, it's cold here, go back and get it."
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and suddenly felt an unprecedented joy. In the wind and snow, Li Yi held him on the back of the donkey and said, "Hello, Dahei."
But he didn't expect that Dahei made him scream several times as if he was very welcoming.
When the two of them walked into Lingyin County, the Jiuyang Junye stationed here did not come forward to talk, but they both showed smiles, and there was a sense of respect.
This kind of respect is not only for Li Yi, but also for Zhang Xiaodao.
The incident in Lingyin County spread throughout the prosperous Tang Dynasty three days ago, shocking the government and the country.
His Majesty the Emperor is furious. The general guarding the Fuyu Pass in Yizhou was escorted to Shengjing to behead him, but this is not the end. In addition to commending Lingyin County, the Ministry of War of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was said to have been busy. It is said that he intends to send troops to pay tribute to the dead people with the heads of the Great Wilderness.
The people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were excited and very satisfied with the angry emperor.
In addition to these, Zhou Zhongxi's name also spread throughout the prosperous Tang Dynasty overnight and was nicknamed the First-Class County Magistrate.
I hope that the future will be destroyed at the cost of leaving Lingyin County, which will not only allow the young Emperor to appreciate it, but it is said that there are already concubines who have already asked for marriage.
Zhou Zhongxi never expected that this move would make his name as a sesame official in Shengjing. He just wanted to stay in Lingyin County.
For the people in Lingyin County, they do not know about these major events that have happened outside.
They only knew that Xiaodao was leaving.
On the day he left, the horse that Zhang Xiaodao rode was full of local specialties from Lingyin County, and the people of Lingyin County were sent ten miles away.
When I looked back suddenly, Lingyin County was gradually blurred in Zhang Xiaodao's eyes, but the blurry scenery changed to Zhang An's chubby smile for some reason.
