eye-catching

"Hey! Wake up!"

He Tan vaguely heard someone calling him, the human consciousness has not turned around, but there is something that makes him sit up in an instant.

"What time is it?!"

Seeing that he had finally woken up, Zhang Jiyu felt relieved and said, "Dawn just broke, and I saw you were still sleeping, so I wondered if you were going to start doing things."

He Tan was still awake, and said: "Yes, those people have to get up and do things."

After speaking, he rubbed his eyes, struggled to stand up, and walked out of the room.

Zhang Jiyao won't sleep until the first day of the next day when he's drunk, he's used to getting up early, because every time Fuyue has to go out before dawn——

what……

Zhang Jiyao let out a long breath, he is no longer here.

It seems that he is not used to seeing Fuyue's life when he wakes up. At this time, some thoughts flashed through his mind.

He quickly packed up and went out.

Outside the door, there were people coming and going. The soldiers had already started to do their work. He Tan stood in the middle of the courtyard stretching his waist. When he saw Zhang Jiyao coming out, he smiled and said, "Are you free to do?"

Zhang Jiyao said: "No."

"I'll take you somewhere!" He Tan suddenly became mysterious.

"Where?"

"You can see the whole village from that place, especially at night, it's the best!"

The two had lunch before leaving.The place Hetan mentioned is on a cliff outside the village, and you can go up to that place after going out from the village.

It doesn't seem to be a sparsely populated place. Judging from the thick land on the road, many people should have stepped here.

The two sat on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the entire Beixing Village.

At this height, the cold wind blows over, making people shiver uncontrollably.Zhang Jiyu wrapped his clothes tightly.

At this time, people in the compound were eating. From this angle, the whole village was square and orderly, with well-defined streets. It seemed that they were all in the clouds, shrouded in thin mist, and the cooking smoke curled up. , a few sparks, depicting a good picture of the countryside.

On the street, there are still a few sparse people, the white walls and black tiles, and the decoration of the surrounding plants are even more icing on the cake.

He Tan pointed to the westernmost compound and said, "Today, the third elder is there."

"Where is Ruomei?"

"Correct."

He Tan suddenly supported his head, and said with interest: "This Ruomei has thoughts about Fuyue, but everyone in the village knows it."

Zhang Jiyao didn't speak, waiting for his next words.

"The former third elder was handsome, but he didn't speak much. He seemed indifferent. Girls didn't dare to approach him. Only this Ruomei liked to pester him when he hadn't chosen an elder."

That is the childhood sweetheart.

"However, we don't know what Fu Yue thinks."

He Tan looked at Zhang Jiyao, smiled suddenly, and said, "It's the first time we've met him like he let you live in his room, so I thought he was only interested in men."

"You're making fun of me." Zhang Jiyu feigned anger.

He Tan quickly pleaded guilty and smiled: "But, looking at this now, it shouldn't be like this."

Zhang Jiyu smiled back: "He told me that we should see each other less in the future."

"That's natural." He Tan said, "Once the elder gets married, he will start to get busy."

Zhang Jiyao felt that he was quite busy before.

"It's the elders' job to bring the soldiers back until they appear in human form. Those of us are just responsible for sending them back."

"Is that so..." Zhang Jiyu was thoughtful.

He Tan stood up and said: "The elders have to go to my mother-in-law's house every day to greet her, and every meal of my mother-in-law is delivered by me. Yesterday and today, my mother-in-law will go to the third elder's wedding banquet, so I don't have to go."

Zhang Jiyao only understood that Fuyue would go to her mother-in-law's house every day.

"So..." He Tan suddenly smiled meaningfully, and said, "Do you want to come with me to deliver food to your mother-in-law?"

Zhang Jiyu pondered for a moment, then smacked his lips: "No."

Having said that, it is better to meet less, or not to cause trouble.

"Ok."

He Tan Gu turned around, ready to go back.

Zhang Jiyu got up, chased after him, and asked, "When will you get married?"

He Tan laughed: "Are you afraid that I will drive you out too?"

Hearing the word rush, Zhang Jiya frowned slightly, but He Tan didn't notice.

Even though he didn't want to admit it, in fact, it seemed to be the case.He was the one who brought him back, and he was the one who drove him out.

"Don't worry, I'm not that early." He Tan paused, and then said, "If you've been living here, your mother-in-law will probably find you a wife."

"what……"

Zhang Jiyu sighed.

"you are not willing?"

"also not."

It's not that Zhang Jiyao didn't want to, it's just that when he thought of his brother's whereabouts still missing, he immediately became impatient, maybe with Fuyue's company at that time, he had forgotten about it.

The two walked side by side, and He Tan said again: "According to the previous practice here, the third elder should distribute dates to every household on the third day."

Just as Zhang Jiyu was about to say something, He Tan preempted him, "However, no one has ever patronized our compound."

Yeah, who wants to face a bunch of dead people all day long.Even a big man like Zhang Jiyao has lingering fears.

The custom here is that on the third day, the groom will take the bride to distribute jujubes to each household, and the recipients will bless them and say as much as possible.This coincided with the wedding of the third elder, and people with children hurriedly forced their children to recite a long list of elegant rhyme poems, all preparing to show their skills in front of the third elder.

This day, Zhang Jiyu was woken up by He Tan before he woke up.

He Tan's explanation for this is: the three elders may come here.

Zhang Jiyu said: "Didn't you say that there is no one here?"

He Tan nodded and said: "It's like this, because the old man who was in charge of this place has passed away, and I don't know if the First Elder and the Second Elder have come here for their wedding, but you are here, you should come here. "

"I..." Zhang Jiyao thought for a while, "Probably not."

"It's not certain," He Tan leaned in front of him and said, "Come here at noon at the latest."

"Then you asked me to wake up so early?"

Zhang Jiyao looked surprised, it was still dawn, and the sky was just a touch of white.

He Tan excitedly said: "They have already started giving out jujubes. At this time, there are many unmarried and unmarried people who are going to grab jujubes. This way, you can get lucky and find the person you like sooner!"

No wonder...

Zhang Jiyao looked disinterested and said, "Then you go, I won't go."

"Why don't you go?"

"But if we don't go, he won't come here."

After talking with Tan, he finally persuaded him, and the two went.Turning left and right finally found where Fuyue was.

He was holding Ruomei, carrying a big basket in his arms, surrounded by a group of children and young people.

He Tan saw it from a distance, so he pulled Zhang Jiyao and said, "It's over there!"

Zhang Jiyao undoubtedly saw it, but he didn't show the same excited expression as He Tan, but his expression was calm.

"Go!"

"how old are you?"

Zhang Jiyu suddenly asked this question, startled He Tan, and continued: "Twenty to two."

Zhang Jiyao nodded, and said calmly: "Then you go, I haven't reached the weak crown yet."

He Tan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said, "I can't see it!"

Zhang Jiyu pushed him and said, "Go, I'll wait for you here."

He Tan continued to exclaim: "This is not a weak crown, so he was sent to the battlefield?"

With Tan's exclamation, the people over there immediately turned their attention to this side.A few yellow-haired kids even ran over here, holding Hetan's hand.

Zhang Jiyao and Fuyue looked at each other for a second, then he hurriedly averted his gaze, watching Hetan being pulled by the children.It seems that this and Tan are quite popular.

He Tan grabbed Zhang Jiyu and pulled him in front of Fuyue and Ruomei. Zhang Jiyu didn't hear what he said, but he knew that Fuyue's gaze seemed to kill him. Like death, it has been staying on his body.

Zhang Jiyu didn't dare to look at him directly, so he smiled at Ruomei, who would have thought that Ruomei blushed and hid behind Fuyue.

It's so cute——

Zhang Jiyao thought so, Fuyue had already shifted his gaze, and Hetan was about to reach Zao'er, so he came up to him and said, "Look!"

Zhang Jiyao nodded, he should be able to leave now.

As soon as the two turned around, they stopped, and saw several children handing out all the jujubes in their hands to Zhang Jiyu, Zhang Jiyu was flattered, and hurriedly continued.

He Tan smacked his lips and said, "It seems that these little guys still like you more."

Zhang Jiyao raised his head, and saw Fuyue bowed his head and said something to Ruomei with a very gentle expression.

He lowered his eyebrows. Sure enough, he was not the indifferent person that people said, but actually a very gentle person. It's just that he didn't show it to others——

Isn't that a witness?

After the two went back, they didn't see anyone in the yard until dusk. It seemed that this place was really deserted.

Warming a bowl of wine, the two sat opposite each other, playing a game of Go, having a great time.

"Ji Tiao, do you have a younger sister?"

"No, just an older brother."

"My brother is not bad, is he also a soldier?"

"No, I just came to the Western Regions by accident. I was originally a scholar."

"Student?" He Tan couldn't restrain the excitement on his face, and said, "Can you teach me to read?"

"study?"

"Yes, my mother-in-law used to teach us to read "Book of Changes", but I miss "The Analects of Confucius"!"

"Okay, I can teach you." Zhang Jiyu said, relying on his years of familiarity, "The first chapter is learning and learning. Master said: Learning and learning from time to time, isn't it easy to say? Have a friend and learn from it." Isn’t it a joy to come from afar? People don’t know but don’t feel stunned, isn’t it a gentleman?”

He Tan followed up and read: "Zi said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, isn't it just a matter of saying? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if you don't know it and don't feel stunned?"

"Yes, what does this mean? That is to say, it is also a very happy thing to review what you have learned from time to time. It is also a happy thing to have friends visiting from afar. It is also a happy thing. People don't know you but you are not angry. An act of a gentleman."

"A friend from far away is your guest!" He Tan laughed, "It's also a happy thing."

"It's not something I should be happy about, besides, I almost died on the snow." Zhang Jiyu said, "Besides, I didn't want to come to the Western Regions myself."

"Oh." He Tan said, "What's next?"

"The next thing is, Youzi said: He is also filial to his younger brother, and it is rare for him to offend his superiors; he is not good at offending his superiors, but he is fond of making troubles, which is rare. The root of benevolence!"

"Youzi said: He is a man who is filial to his younger brother, but it is rare for him to offend his superiors; it is not easy to offend his superiors..."
