The general will give birth soon

The army moved forward slowly, Si You had excellent eyesight, and soon saw clearly the crying child sitting in the grass with his head bowed.

His stature is only three or four years old, his arms and legs are small, his face is round, his fluffy hair is casually tied up in two small buns, his bangs are curved in front of his forehead, and the two on his forehead are independent from the outside, which is mischievous. tilted up.

Si You's heart sank suddenly.

He couldn't help but frowned and looked over seriously. The child wiped his tears with his tiny fingers, then brought his palm to his mouth, raised his face, and puffed his cheeks to blow hard.

This time, his face was clearly presented, and he could see everything at a glance.

White skin, fleshy face, round eyes, lacquered eyebrows, light lips.

And that person... almost exactly the same.

There was a sharp pain in Si You's chest, and his eyes were sore uncontrollably.On the way here, he also thought about the people who stayed here several times, and thought about seeing or not looking for or not looking for several times, but he didn't expect that the surprise would come before he made up his mind.

Looking at the child's face, he confirmed it immediately without asking for verification.

Raising his hand to signal the team to take a break, he jumped off Xiao Huang, carried the chopping lance on his back, stepped on the shiny black general's boots, and stepped lightly and steadily into the grass.

Xiao Huang stood by the side of the road, grazing with his head down, sometimes flicking his ponytail and neighing twice.

Realizing that someone was approaching, the boy got up and took a few steps back. He wanted to run away, but he was shocked by the tall figure and mighty attire of the person who came, and he couldn't help standing where he was, with his head up and his mouth open. Look foolishly.

"I'm not a bad person." Si You quickly lowered his tone, and said carefully and earnestly.

The boy's shock faded a bit, and he looked at him with round and clear eyes.

He is very familiar with this look and posture, and has seen and thought about it thousands of times.

Si You took a breath, suppressed the tears that almost came out of his eyes, tried his best to show a smile that he hadn't shown in three years, and said slowly: "I, I saw that you were injured, so I came to ask if I could help."

There were about five steps between the two, the boy pursed his lips and thought for a while, finally shook his palms and said in a weak milky voice, "It's bleeding..."

Si You hurriedly said: "I have medicine, I'll help you heal, okay?"

The little boy was a little nervous, but when he thought about getting up early, his father told him to come outside the city to play, that today the people outside the city would clear the streets, and that a general would come, and that the general was a good man, so he became more courageous, nodded and said: "OK, thank you."

Si You took out the towel and Jinchuang medicine from his arms, took off the water bag around his waist, and squatted down in front of the child.

He tried his best to restrain the shaking of his hands, first washed the dust and blood on the child's palm with clean water, then lightly sprinkled Jinchuang medicine on it, and then carefully wrapped it with a cloth towel.

Once by the lake in early summer, he did the same to that person.

This, this father and son... are just so uneasy.

Finally uttering the forbidden words, Si You seemed to suddenly pull out the sharp knife that had been stuck in his heart for three years, it was painful and refreshing.

The little boy in front of him closed his eyes tightly and stretched his lips, pretending to bear the pain righteously, his cheeks were already full of flesh, but now they were crowded and bulged, very cute.

Si You smiled reassuringly, and put his hand on the little boy's shoulder, and a steady warmth that didn't feel like early spring came from his palm.

"Okay, the medicine is over, and the pain is gone."

Only then did the boy open his eyes, looking curiously at the bandaged palm, and then at the general who was close at hand, his eyes kept blinking.

Si You couldn't help wrapping his hands around the boy's body again, "Why are you here alone? Where's your family?"

"Well... my dad has something to do, let me come out to play."

Si You was taken aback, "Do you often play alone?"

"Yeah." The little boy nodded, "And..."

He was about to say that there was still General Tiger, but Si You managed to get angry before he had time to listen to the rest.

For the past three years, he had been separated from each other, and he thought he could manage to live rationally, but in the end, he was extremely fragile and anxious because of the pain.

Whenever he encounters something related to that silly scholar, even if it is only a tiny bit or even a far-fetched connection, he will immediately become frustrated or angry.So he subconsciously blurted out: "How does your daddy behave? Isn't he afraid that something will happen to you? Doesn't he usually care if you are not with you?!"

The little boy was frightened, opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, pushed Si You with both hands, clenched his fists, looked like he was about to duel, and stared at him and said: "You are not allowed to murder my father! My father is fine!" !"

Si You was in a trance for a while, and then realized that he could no longer control his emotions, and wanted to say a few nice words to coax the child, but the child refused, snorted angrily, stuck out his tongue at him, turned and ran away.

When he moved, the hanging chain originally hidden under the neckline was thrown out, and what was hanging on the red peace and wealth rope was not a real gold and silver longevity lock, but a small piece of lifelike wood carving of mandarin duck and axe.

Si You raised his left wrist, and an identical one lay quietly there.

He raised his face in pain, a tear slid down his face and fell on the grass.

Si You's visit to Yuntan Town is equivalent to an imperial envoy, and all the town yamen are dispatched to welcome him.

The people in the frontier had never seen such a great official, who was also a legendary beauty general, so they all flocked to the gate of the city to watch the excitement.

Gu Chongming was also in the crowd.

He couldn't go out of the city, so he just asked the child to go outside the city when there were few people, thinking that even if the father and son could only see him from a distance, his wish would be fulfilled.As for himself, he didn't know whether he should meet or not, but after hesitating several times, he still followed the crowd.

But he was different from others, he didn't scramble to come forward, but hugged the little tiger and shrank in the corner, peeking secretly at the longing figure from the gap between the moving heads in front of him.

Six years ago, when he saw Si You for the first time, it was the same situation.

Si You, who was straddling the horse, was tall and straight, and no matter how much cheers and thunderous cheers were around, it was all the foil and the background.

Gu Chongming stood on tiptoe in the crowd, and his eyes hurt from seeing it again. In the end, he couldn't hold on anymore. He hugged Xiaohu and walked to a secluded place in the street and sat down. Did you notice us? He is so powerful, he should be able to notice."

Gu Chongming's voice trembled, "I want him to notice it, but I don't want to. Although he has come, he will leave after all. But I can't leave... I have hurt him once, and I can't hurt him again .”

Xiaohu was lying in Gu Chongming's arms shaking his fur, and sometimes gave him a shove with his head, as if he also felt sorry for him.

Yuntan Township is located in the south, damp and cold, and when it rained lightly at night, the people closed their shops and houses early, and hid in bed to keep warm.

Si You changed into casual clothes, put on a hooded cloak, and walked through the streets and alleys of the city alone——

Everywhere he went, he would personally touch the terrain, which was his habit of marching and fighting for many years.

It was the second watch, and it was raining at night. Except for the watchman wandering around with a lamp, there were no pedestrians on the road, only the shops were lit with dim yellow lights every now and then.

Suddenly there was a burst of mellow aroma, and Si You identified it as a porridge shop in front of it covered with a thick oilcloth curtain, with steam coming out of the window, and the homely smell made Si You stunned for a moment.

It's not like fighting bravely and victoriously for many years in the northern border, and it's not like Ao has spent almost all of his hard work in the middle of Beijing. Here, he is rare to let go, rare to be calm, and rare to enjoy, both real and illusory.

He stood tall in the rain, stopped and stretched out his hand. His slender fingertips touched the cold raindrops, and the raindrops scattered suddenly, blurring his vision.

After a while, the blurry picture slowly gathered, and a figure came from behind the rain curtain deep in the street.

Soap-colored boots, ink-blue Vincent gown, and primary-color oiled-paper umbrella.

Holding a food box in his hand, most of his face was covered by an umbrella, only his round chin and pale lips were visible.

Si You stepped forward subconsciously, and the figure also walked towards him without retreating, revealing the face under the umbrella little by little.

The two stopped at a step away. In the rainy night, one lowered his eyes slightly from under the hood, and the other gently raised his umbrella upwards.

Eyes meet, thousands of words don't know which one to say first, and all kinds of actions are hidden in the eyes.

After a long time, the heat from the porridge shop almost warmed the bodies of the two of them, their familiar expressions were revealed, and their familiar tones rang out, as if they had never been separated.

"You don't hold an umbrella?"

"I'm used to it, it doesn't matter if I have a hat."

The scholar who hadn't seen him for three years smiled helplessly, and lifted the food box in his hand, "Baobao wants to drink oil tea, I'll buy it."

"...Baby?" Si You whispered cherishingly and joyfully.

The scholar nodded, "Well, nickname, treasure bag."

Entering the porridge shop, the two stood in front of the counter, shoulder to shoulder, arm leaning on arm.

The shop was brightly lit, and they all dared not look at each other.

The scholar took out a porcelain cup from the food box, filled it with camellia oleifera, took out a coarse cloth purse and carefully paid for three copper coins.

Si You looked over the shop and said, "Buy a few oil cakes or vegetable boxes and go back and eat."

The scholar said with a smile, "Baobao likes to drink salty porridge, but he doesn't really like salty cakes."

"Then..." Si You was flustered and eager, his eyes stopped on the bright colors in the corner of the counter, and he was overjoyed, "Buy a bag of candy, it's sweet, even children like it."

The scholar smiled again: "It's late at night, so I can't eat that much."

"Then eat it tomorrow." Si You insisted.

"Eat less sugar, bad teeth." The scholar declined again.

"He was injured today, so take it as comfort." Si You's tone was a little anxious.

The scholar didn't care much and said: "I saw it, it's just a small cut, a small injury, it's nothing..."

He wanted to comfort Si You, but Si You was touched and shouted loudly: "If you are hurt, you are hurt! The child is so young, how can you say it so easily?! You are his father, you don't even know what to do." Take good care of him?!"

Just a little indulgence of the emotions that have been suppressed for several years is already a huge power.

Both the shopkeeper and the scholar were stunned, Si You was upset and restless, realizing that he lost his temper again, he felt even more remorse, turned around and walked a few steps quickly, opened the curtain and left.

The scholar quickly chased him out with the food box.

The night was thick, the rain was more urgent than before, the scholar was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he hugged the umbrella and the food box tightly in his arms, and chased after him humming.

Si You let go of his pace and walked quickly, the sound of cold splashing water and eager breathing behind him was extremely clear, he wanted to fly away, but couldn't help but want to turn back.

There was a sudden muffled sound, and he finally didn't have to worry about it any more. He turned his head and saw the scholar lying on his side, his head hit the ground, the umbrella was thrown aside, but the food box was tightly protected in his arms, intact.

The impatience in Si You's heart was ignited again, he took a few steps and squatted in front of the scholar, broke down and said: "You know the road is slippery and you have to run so fast, can't you be more careful?! Why are you protecting it? Buy a new bowl Isn’t that what it is?! I don’t know if it will fall even worse?!”

The scholar got up from the ground, wiped the rain off his face, picked up the umbrella, and said with a smile, "Although it's only three Wen, you can save as much as you can. At least you can buy one more bag for your treasure."

"You..." That nonchalant smile poked Si You's heart hard, and he became even angrier, with a very bad tone, "Do you have to do this? Don't I have money? I can't buy it for him." ?!"

The scholar was taken aback, and Si You was also taken aback.

He lowered his head, his dark and scattered eyes were covered by the night rain curtain and the hooded hair.

These years have been separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if he misses these two people to the bone, what's the use?

They were thirsty, and he couldn't bring them a glass of water; they were hungry, and he couldn't buy a bowl of oil tea; the night was cold, and he couldn't add clothes and quilts to them; if they were in danger...

Si You clenched his teeth, not daring to think about it any further.

The sound of the wind and rain was urgent, and a shadow covered the top of his head. It was the scholar who tilted the umbrella to his side, raised his hand to stroke his cold face, and asked softly, "Dayou, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, a warm current poured into Si You's heart that had been frozen for three years, the heat gradually melted away, and his heart softened.

He finally looked squarely at the person in front of him, that person's face was cast in shadow by the night curtain of rain, only his eyes were clear and his bangs were flamboyant.

"Gu Chongming..." Si You suppressed his voice in his throat, trying his best to restrain himself, "What about the explanation? It's been three years, what about your explanation?"

Gu Chongming stared at him, knowing that when Si You was coming, he would go crazy with joy, but then he poured a bucket of cold water on himself - he had nothing to give Si You, even if they met each other, it was just mutual Torment is nothing but trouble.

Si You probably thought so too.

However, no matter how good the idea was, it was still defeated after all.

Gu Chongming said with red eyes and a smile on his face, "Come home with me, let Baobao go to sleep together, and then I'll tell you everything, okay?"
