"Brother Seven, have you seen Brother Four or Brother Five?" Xiaoxue grabbed Qilang who was running over.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother and dad are discussing things in the study. Do you have anything to do with them?" Qilang asked.

"They promised to take me to catch snakes for the eagles to eat." Xiaoxue blinked. "I can't find them anywhere."

"Let's go look for it in the study," Qi Lang pulled Xiaoxue and ran towards Yang Ye's study.

"Brother Qi, Dad found out that you want to..." Xiaoxue had just finished speaking when she saw Qilang put his hand on his mouth, making a 'shush' gesture, and gently pulled her to the window on the side of the wing.

Xia. Xiaoxue looked around. This place is quite remote. Yang Ye's study is an important military area. Few people usually come here. Except for himself and a few brothers, even the housekeeper will not come here. Qilang is familiar with the family and the way. It seems that he is sneaky.

I've been here more than once or twice.

There was a gap in the study window. The two children squatted under the window and heard Yang Ye's voice coming from the gap.

"The fortress where the bandits are located is extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is only one way to enter. Our people have been attacking for half a year. They have been stubbornly resisting and suffered heavy casualties but cannot be captured. This time I sent two of your brothers.

I'm going. Firstly, I want you to have some experience. Secondly, I hope you can find a way to break through the fortress. This group of bandits does all kinds of evil and specializes in tormenting merchants. They are a serious problem for me in the Song Dynasty."

"My son will never disappoint his father!" the voices of Shiro and Wuro came out.

*********

"Seventh brother, are fourth and fifth brothers also going to the battlefield?" Xiaoxue frowned and sat in the pavilion.

"The son of the Yang family was born to protect the family and the country," Qilang patted his chest, "I will also go to the battlefield with my father and brother in the future, and be a great protector of the family and the country..." He stopped and stared blankly.

Looking at Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, why are you crying? Did I make you cry? Did I say something wrong?" The two-foot-long monk was confused.

Xiaoxue shook her head desperately: "No, no, I... just thought of my mother..." She made a very lame excuse.

Qi Lang hurriedly stepped forward and wiped away the tears on her face: "Xiao Xue doesn't cry, it's Brother Qi's fault." When he heard Xiao Xue mentioning his mother, he thought she remembered what happened on the day she was adopted by the Yang family, and felt guilty and uneasy.

, secretly cursing himself for being ignorant and making her cry.

In fact, he didn't know that Xiaoxue shed tears not because she thought of her 'mother' in this time and space, but because she thought of the ending of the Yang family's sons, especially Qilang in front of her, who was pierced by Pan Renmei's thousands of arrows! She couldn't forget that in modern times,

When she saw Qilang being pierced by thousands of arrows in the TV series "Young Generals of the Yang Family", she burst into tears, as if she was the one who was pierced by thousands of arrows.

"Seventh brother, Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" A gentle voice came. I don't know why, as soon as I heard that voice, the sadness would disappear. The voice was like sunshine, which could break through the dark clouds that covered the sky and shine straight into the sky.

In her heart.

"Fourth brother, Xiaoxue misses her mother, so she's crying. Please persuade her quickly." Seeing Shiro, Shichiro felt like he had met his savior.

"Xiaoxue." Shiro walked up to Xiaoxue and gently wiped away her tears. He knew that the 'mother' in Qilang's mouth did not refer to his mother She Saihua, but Xiaoxue's biological mother. "Do you still remember when those Khitan people massacred her?"

, your mother’s behavior?”

Xiaoxue nodded, she would never forget that scene in her life. Her mother hugged her and ran as hard as she could. Even if the Khitan arrows were inserted into her back one by one, she still endured the severe pain and kept running.

The moment she fell, she still thought of covering her up tightly with her body. Because of this, she managed to narrowly escape death.

"Your mother hid you under her body and exchanged her own life for yours just because she wanted you to live well. As long as you are happy, your mother's spirit in heaven will be happy, right? So, don't cry, be happy, let's

Xiaoxue is a brave and strong girl. Come on," he stretched out his hand to her, "fourth brother will take you to catch snakes."

*********

Only Xiaoxue was sitting on the steps in front of her room, holding her chin, thinking about everything over the years, how her parents and brother had loved and cared for her, but she always felt that she couldn't live and eat in the Yang family for free, and she had to do something to help them. It's just that

With the body of a child like her now, even if she follows her brothers to the battlefield, not only will she not be able to help them in the end, but she will become a little dragster.

In fact, the Yang family's love and care for her was entirely out of pity for her mother who lost her mother when she was young, and also out of Yang Ye's promise to Qin Xianglian. They are both heroic sons and daughters who value love and righteousness, and have never thought about asking others to repay them. However,

Her father and brother have taught her since she was a child, "a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring."

The words I heard outside the study during the day rang in my ears.

"The fortress where the bandits are located is extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one way to enter."

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one way to enter." A smile appeared on Xiaoxue's lips. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to repay the Yang family. That barrier was indeed difficult to break through in her father's words, but it was not difficult for her, because in

In her time, someone had already written about a wonderful counterattack strategy in a book. Perhaps she could apply what she learned and advance the strategy several years.

But, how do you remind your brother? Yes, just do this. Brother Shiro is a smart man. As long as he gives a little reminder, he will definitely draw inferences.

*********

The next day, the weather was fine, Xiaoxue and Rokuro Shichiro took Shiro and Goro to the countryside to fly a kite.

Among the seven brothers of the Yang family, Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang are all married. They usually stay in the military camp and are mature and stable. Naturally, they will not play with their younger brothers and sisters. Compared to Silang and Wulang, they are more leisurely.

, and the two of them had always loved their three young siblings. Although the task assigned by their father was a headache for them, they could not withstand the prayers of the three children and still accompanied them to the suburbs.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, look at my kite flying higher than seventh brother." Xiaoxue jumped up and down, pointing to the kite in the air.

"How can my kite fly so high?" Qilang was unconvinced.

"It's obviously my height."

"Mine flies higher than yours." The two children began to bicker with each other again, and Shiro and Wuro shook their heads helplessly.

Liu Lang ran over and interrupted them: "Xiaoxue, seventh brother, stop bickering, let's take a look," he pointed at the sky, your kites are all tangled together!"

The five of them looked up, and sure enough they saw Xiaoxue's butterfly kite and Qilang's eagle kite entangled together at some point, swinging to higher places.

"Are they really tied together?" Wulang helped Qilang grab the kite string in his hand, "Take them back and untie them.

"No, Fifth Brother, let them go like this," Xiaoxue said, taking out a dagger from her waist and cutting the thread in her and Qilang's hands. The kite in the sky was out of control and immediately flew to the sky under the influence of the wind.

It reached a higher place and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Many years later, when Shiro and Goro recall that scene, they will feel that the subsequent fates of Xiaoxue and Shichiro are like those kites that are intertwined and fly into the future. At a certain moment, they fall to the ground, decay day by day, and finally turn into ashes.

Still together, never separated.

"How wonderful it would be if people could fly in the sky like a kite!" While Shichiro was dragging Goro and Liuro to get other kites, Xiaoxue looked at the kites that had long since disappeared in the sky and said to himself.

She said it just loud enough for Shiro, who was standing next to her, to hear her.

"What did you say?" An idea flashed in Shiro's mind, and he turned to Xiaoxue. She was still looking at the sky, "If we make a kite that can carry the weight of a person, then put the person on it, climb to a higher place, and use the wind direction,

Coupled with people's control, can this kite send people to where they want to go?" She said casually, but every word was enough to shock Shiro's heart.

That's right, if you can make a kite that can carry the weight of a person, let people put it on it, and climb to a higher point. Under the influence of the wind and human control, it can land accurately at its destination. That barrier

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is undoubtedly its huge advantage. But now, this advantage may become a disadvantage under a certain plan.
