Major General Through the Upper Gate

His little dad may be alive, his little brother may be alive, his family may not be dead.

For the first time, Cheng Wei felt that he was so weak. He didn't shed a tear when he followed the old military doctor to deal with soldiers with severed arms and legs on the battlefield.Even when he was stabbed in the back of the waist in the last battle, he endured it and kept silent.

Thinking about it now, it wasn't that he was cruel, but that he didn't hurt where it should hurt.

Gu Xicheng hugged Cheng Wei and let him cry for a while, then let him go. He wiped Cheng Wei's tears with his sleeve, and finally carried him back.

People in the field also saw the young couple, but no one made fun of them.For the Cheng family, the whole village felt guilty.

When Cheng Wei returned home, he was in a daze all day, Gu Xizheng told him to respond and eat as he should.It's just that the whole person seems to be out of his mind, and the spirit energy doesn't know where to go.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Wei suddenly sat up.He quietly got out of bed and got dressed, and took Gu Xicheng's dagger from the bedside.He hid the dagger in his bosom, squatted down by the bed and gently touched Gu Xizheng's face.

He didn't quite understand how Jie Chefufu lived in other people's family, but since he met Gu Xijiao, he has actually lived a very contented life.

This man is not an official in the town, not even a small landlord, let alone a high official.But every time he does something, Gu Xizheng will come over to help him, and remind him all the time that he is not alone.

The feeling of being cared about made him sink so easily.

He likes Gu Xizhen, he likes it very much, but now he has something he has to do.

Cheng Wei stood up, turned around before tears fell, and was dragged back just as he was about to take a step.

"Where are you going?" Gu Xijiao asked seriously.He seemed to have just woken up, his voice was still full of sleepiness, but his opened eyes were very bright.

Cheng Wei was dragged by him and fell on the bed. He struggled hard, but he couldn't get away.

"Cheng Wei, let's talk." Gu Xijiao let go of him, and he got out of bed to light the oil lamp.Cheng Wei sat on the edge of the bed, bowed his head and said nothing.

Only then did Gu Xijiao understand why the whole village kept Cheng Wei from telling the truth, and why Cheng Wei's elder brother was able to persuade the pavilion chief to let him join the army.

This stubborn character really makes people love and hate.

"You want to find your little dad?" Gu Xizheng moved a stool and sat next to Cheng Wei. He was very close, and the knees of the two touched each other, giving people an illusion of intimacy.

"I have to go." Cheng Wei stared down at his fingertips, and said, "You can't watch me all day long, I always have a chance to leave."

"Oh? Then what should I do? Are you planning to make me a widow within half a year after begging me?" Gu Xizheng raised his eyebrows, closed his smiling eyes, and his eyes were cold.

Even his tone seemed to have cooled down.

"...I'm sorry." This kind of words is usually a joke at most, but now it seems to be pierced in the heart, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Cheng Wei's head lowered even lower, and he just squeezed out these few words, and a tear fell from his eye socket unexpectedly, and landed on the back of his hand with a thud.

Gu Xizheng sighed helplessly, he made people cry before he could extract a confession.

He reached out and rubbed his head, lifted his face and said softly, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

Cheng Wei's eyes were red, he had never been so uncontrollable since he was a child, these two days seemed to shed all the tears in his life.

"Do you know where Yun Jingguo is? Even if you do, do you know where your little dad was taken?" Gu Xizheng wiped the corners of his reddened eyes with his fingertips, and said, "Since they're here Once, there will be a second time, instead of sending them to your door without thinking, it is better to stay at home and wait for them to come to your door."

Cheng Wei held his hand, he shook his head and wanted to say something, when he saw Gu Xizhen gently pressing his lips with his index finger, he looked into his eyes and said, "If your little daddy is still alive, then he There is no danger now. If he is dead, it is useless for you to go now. You have to think clearly, you are the only one left in the Cheng family. "

Cheng Wei was finally persuaded by Gu Xizheng, he buried his face in Gu Xizheng's palm, and suppressed his tears back.

After that night, Tonghua Village regained its tranquility, as if nothing had happened.After the officials and the hunting team stayed in Tonghua Village for nearly a month, the hunting team came to inform the villagers that they were still planning to venture into the mountains.If you want, you can go with them.

Gu Xizheng fed the pigs early in the morning, and he prepared some things to go into the mountain with the hunting team.

"Are you really going?" Cheng Wei asked, looking at Gu Xizhen who was sitting in front of the door chopping bamboo sticks.

"Yeah." Gu Xicheng nodded.He didn't tell Cheng Wei that he went to the mountain this time to save some money and then find a place to rebuild a house.

Since people are aiming at the future, it is not easy for them to live in the center of the village.The fact that those two people didn't hurt anyone last time doesn't mean that the people who come next time will be so polite.

Such worries were not without reason. The officials re-compared the footprints and found that the footprints in the cornfield did not match the footprints of that night, which meant that they might not be in the same group.

Gu Xijiao also didn't want to make fun of the people in the village. If the conflict was unavoidable, he hoped to minimize the casualties.

The search by the officials and the hunting team took the village as the center and expanded layer by layer. Before entering the mountain, Gu Xijiao went to Wei Xiaopai's house and asked him to help look after Cheng Wei.

Although he felt that Cheng Wei would never leave alone again, it was still unknown whether the Yunjing Congress would come at this time, and it was better to prevent trouble before it happened.

"Gu boy, don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll send Brother Wei to Xiahe Village to live for a few days. You can pay attention when you go into the mountains, don't be distracted." Wei Xiaopai stood at the door and looked at the Gu Xijiao, who carried the basket on his back, warned.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Dad Wei." Gu Xizheng nodded, and left Tonghua Village with the hunting team.

It took half a month to go there, and every two days someone would come out of the mountain carrying prey.The harvest this time seems to be extremely rich, and the people in Tonghua Village are also amazed.

Shanji hunted the most, including three wild boars. What was rare was that they caught a live deer.As for the small beasts, there were countless, snake meat, pheasant and hare and other small things were taken and distributed to the villagers, and Cheng Wei also got five or six wild eggs.

The person who sent it smiled and said: "Brother Wei, this is what Gu Xiaozi touched, and he specially told me to send it back to you."

In the small basket I brought back with me, there are half a box of wild dates and a small amount of mushrooms.The autumn rain has not yet fallen, and the dates are not very red, but they are already sweet.

Cheng Wei killed the two pheasants that were brought back, took them to Wei Xiaopai's house together with mushrooms and wild dates, and ate dinner at his house by the way.

"Brother Wei, eat more." The last time he ate was before Xia Harvest, and Cheng Wei's face was full of flesh at that time.Wei Xiaopai gave him a chicken leg in distress, and he has seen the child's appearance these days.

"Daddy Wei, you can eat too. You don't need to pick up food for me. I'll do it myself." Cheng Wei looked at the chicken leg in the bowl, and was about to pick it up for Xiao Liu, but Dad Wei stopped him.

"Don't let it come and go, he can't finish it with four legs." Wei Xiaopai glared at him.

Cheng Wei thought about it too, so he didn't give in, and gnawed with his head down.

"Brother Wei, why don't you stay at Yinzhi's place for a few days?" Dad Wei asked tentatively, holding a piece of mountain mushroom.

Cheng Wei shook his head without thinking, and said, "Don't bother Yinzhi, Gu Xijiao will be back in a few days."

"If you are willing to live with Yinzhi, go to town and talk to Yunfeng another day. His house has a big yard, so it's not a big deal to live with him for a while." Wei Xiaopai thought about it and said again.

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, Yun Feng is the celebrity of the town's official family, and he came to look for him last time.

"Don't come up with random ideas, I don't think Brother Wei is willing to leave Tonghua Village." Wei Dongliang said slowly beside him.

Wei Xiaopa clicked his tongue and was about to yell at him, Cheng Wei quickly said: "It's okay, Wei Xiaopa...does everyone in the town know about my family?"

The Wei family looked at each other, but no one spoke for a moment.In the end, it was Xiaodi Wei who opened the mouth. He said: "Back then when something happened to your family, Lizheng went to the town to report to the officials the next day. At that time, nearly a hundred people came from the town and set up a shed along the mountain. , stayed for three months before leaving."

Not to say that every household knows it, but most people have heard of it to some extent.

At that time, the officials followed the bloodstain on the nearby mountain to search for it for three months, but unfortunately the bloodstain broke behind the rocky mountain.After all, Wei Xiaopai couldn't bear to tell Cheng Wei that according to the way Cheng Er was injured at the time, in all likelihood, he would not survive.
