Looking to Chang'an from the North

It was a small village, and the elders and aunts in the village were very hospitable. The story began on a not sunny afternoon.He was 16 years old that year, the year he first joined the army.

At that time, he was young and energetic, bold and aggressive, but he was caught in the enemy's trap and was injured for a while, so he strayed into the village by accident. When the people in the village heard that he was injured on the front line, they took him with him without saying a word. Back to the village, give him the best of everything.The few chickens in the village were caught and used to make soup for him to nourish his body.

At first, he was curious about why the village was full of old people, women and children, but later he learned that all the men who had reached the age of sixteen in the village, without exception, all joined the army and fought on the front line.

He always remembered that the old village chief who was over [-] years old once said with tears in his eyes, "My child, you are a soldier, just like our own child. Our village is on the frontier, and we have seen too many good children. For the sake of this country, it is because of their protection that we have peace and happiness. As long as the children in our village are old enough, they are all sent to the front line. The older generation educates them to be human. Forget your roots, a good man who stands up to the sky and the earth should put the world in his heart."

As soon as they are successful, most of the soldiers buried in the frontier are good sons of ordinary people. Maybe no one behind them will remember their efforts, but this generation after generation is going on.

That was the first time he knew about the perseverance of ordinary people. As a general, he learned from a young age how to be a good general, how to lead his soldiers to victory, how to be loyal to the emperor, and how to exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest Benefit.

In the eyes of him who is still young, leading troops to fight is to avenge his father and brother, which is his unshirkable responsibility as Xia Jiaerlang.But the existence of that village and those words that hit his heart made him understand the meaning of protection.

It is always a two-way rush to provide protection for the generals to the common people on the bloody battlefield. It is not expected that history can remember a certain person's name, but that contribution will always be remembered and will continue.

He is very fortunate that someone showed him a clear path during his first year in the battlefield.

In order to keep the incense in that village unceasing, Xia Yizheng even deliberately changed the conditions for enlisting in the army. Anyone who has an only child in the family will not accept the latter.

"So, everything you do is worth it." Lin Chuhuai raised his hand and gently wiped away the uncontrollable tears from the corners of this man's eyes.

Men don't cry easily, but Xia Yizheng's tears are not because of weakness, but because of being moved and the joy of finding a direction in life.

Lin Chuhuai has read all the books of sages and sages since he was a child. Most of his understanding of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness comes from cold words, but he has always known and believed that human nature is inherently good.If possible, one day he would like to visit the village and see the group of people with firm beliefs.

"If you have a chance, will you take me to see them?"

"Okay, just let them see my newly married wife." Xia Yizheng calmed down. It was more than a year ago that he visited the village last time. People are like family members.

"En." Lin Chuhuai leaned on his shoulder and listened to him continue to talk about some interesting things, but he also felt a little sleepy.

Seeing no movement for a long time, Xia Yizheng turned his head to glance at him, and found that Chang Yun had already fallen asleep and stopped talking, but pulled up the quilt, and just let him lean on him.He was afraid that helping Chang Yun to lie down would wake him up, so he simply let him sleep like this, and he closed his eyes, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

When Lin Chuhuai woke up again, it was already late at night, Xia Yizheng was no longer by his side, but someone pushed the door open when he was about to get out of bed.

"Wake up, are you feeling better? It's just right, let's try the soup just made in the kitchen." Xia Yizheng wanted to walk to the bed, but Lin Chuhuai had already got out of bed.

"Lie down for a long time, come down and move around. What is this?" Lin Chuhuai caught a glimpse of the soup bowl in Xia Yizheng's hand, and saw that the soup was white and decorated with shallots, but there was nothing in the soup that could be seen.

"Fish soup, I asked the doctor. Fish soup is the most nourishing and not greasy. It is suitable for you to drink now. After stewing for a long time, I tasted it, and it is not fishy."

Xia Yizheng went to the river to catch this fish himself after waking up, because he heard that wild fish are more nutritious, so he stayed by the river for a long time before he caught two.

Lin Chuhuai sat down at the table and scooped up a spoonful. At the bottom of the bowl was tender tofu and a few pieces of fish belly meat, carefully picked out without thorns.

Picking up the tenderest piece, Lin Chuhuai handed it to Xia Yizheng's mouth, "There's too much fish to finish, you should try it first."

Xia Yizheng smiled and shook his head, "Use it first, it's best to eat it all, if you can't finish it, I'll deal with it later."

But Lin Chuhuai insisted on holding it up and not letting go, Xia Yizheng had no choice but to open his mouth to eat, the taste was really delicious.

Seeing that this person did what he wanted, Lin Chuhuai withdrew his hand in satisfaction, lowered his head and drank the soup in the bowl one mouthful at a time.The warm fish soup satiated his stomach that had been empty for a day, and he actually drank the whole bowl, which made him feel better.

He had been groggy and lacked energy before, but he forgot to ask this person about something.

"Yesterday, was that old friend of yours from Northern Qi?" Lin Chuhuai said this with a hint of probing.

Xia Yizheng was startled when he heard the words, "Old friend? He told you so."

"Isn't it?" Lin Chuhuai didn't know why he cared so much about that person yesterday, he always felt that there was a bond between that person and Xia Yizheng that he didn't know about.This is not just an intuition, when the man talked about Xia Yizheng, there was a predatory wildness in his eyes, no matter how well he pretended, this desire could not be concealed.

"If there must be a relationship between me and Si Nanxian, it's that an enemy is an opponent, not a friend. I admit that he is a respectable opponent on the battlefield, but I can't be friends with him in this life." Xia Yizheng didn't want to leave room for Lin Chuhuai to think too much, so he simply made it clear at once to avoid suspicion in the future.

Si Nanxian, it turned out that the person yesterday was Si Nanxian, the regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but there was a big difference from the rumors.

"It's not like, is it?" Xia Yizheng could see what Lin Chuhuai was thinking.

Lin Chuhuai nodded in affirmation of his words.

"He is a man with a very deep city, so if you meet him in the future, you must be careful."

Si Nanxian is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and his parents will probably suffer if they are right.

"You seem to know him very well." Although there is no emotion in these words, if the answer is not good, it will be a proposition.

But Xia Yizheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, "The person who understands a person best in this world is always his opponent."

"So is he the one who understands you best in this world?" It was difficult to answer this question, and Xia Yizheng's logic just now really couldn't find anything wrong.

"Then I'll wait until you know me better than him."

"He is interested in you." Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The two asked and answered in such a hurry, which seemed a little aggressive, and this was not Lin Chuhuai's character.

But the fishbone in Si Nanxian's throat, if not removed as soon as possible, will become a hidden danger that will pierce the throat at some point. Lin Chuhuai will never allow such a hidden danger to exist. He would rather be strong now than be suspicious in the future.

"But I have absolutely no interest in him." Xia Yizheng doesn't find Chang Yun like this annoying, on the contrary, he is sincerely delighted by Chang Yun's appearance like a cub protecting food.

It is because you care that you are afraid of losing.

"Chang Yun, as long as you don't take the initiative to push me away, I will always be yours. Of course, I will not allow you to push me away. Don't even think about it." Speaking of this, this person is actually another With a three-point banditry.

Only then did Lin Chuhuai show a smile, "Okay, I won't push it away."

General Xia, who got the promise, was a little overwhelmed and pulled him into his arms and kissed him, "Tsk, today's cook deserves a reward. The fish soup is delicious, and the lips and teeth are fragrant."

Lin Chuhuai didn't know what to say due to such hooliganism, so he had no choice but to break free from his arms. Fortunately, Xia Yizheng didn't hold him tightly because of his body.

"Let's get down to business." Lin Chuhuai said seriously.

"Well, tell me, I'm listening." Xia Yizheng was in high spirits at this time, and this person could say anything.

"I think I probably know the reason why the floods in Qingzhou were so severe this year." But knowing the reason didn't make him completely let go of his suspense.If he reported the truth to the emperor, Xie Qing would not be able to shirk his responsibility, and the people in the west of the city might not escape punishment. This was far from what he wanted to see.

"What is it?" Xia Yizheng also suppressed the smile on his face, and became serious.

"Rebuild fields around the lake." Lin Chuhuai thought for a while, and then summed it up in the most concise words.

"Huh?" Obviously, Xia Yizheng didn't understand what he meant.

Lin Chuhuai understood it, which is why he felt that the people were innocent. Not all people knew the dangers of reclamation from lakes, but innocence did not mean innocence.

He patiently analyzed the dangers of this move, and listed the pros and cons one by one. Xia Yizheng is also smart, and soon understood.

"That day Xie Qing ordered that young master of the Fu family to restore the Huai River to its original state within half a month. If it can be restored, maybe the common people can be preserved."

"When tomorrow dawns, let's go to Xie's mansion to pay a visit. There are some things that need to be clarified." If the Huai River can be restored, they can plead with His Majesty for the common people.

"Not tomorrow." Xia Yizheng refused without hesitation.

"Why?" Lin Chuhuai looked at him with some puzzlement.

Really bad, Xia Yizheng felt helpless, "The doctor told you to rest these few days, with me watching, you are not allowed to go anywhere, you can only lie down on the couch with peace of mind."

Seeing the ferocious appearance he put on on purpose, Lin Chuhuai didn't know how to refute, and suddenly felt blessed, "Now that you know that I need to obey the doctor's orders, why don't you do so yourself?"

It is rare to find an opportunity to make this person obey the doctor's order, and of course Lin Chuhuai will not let it go.

Xia Yizheng choked for a moment, and it took him a long time to open his mouth. When he spoke, he lacked confidence, "Then how can it be the same?"

"Why is it different?" Chang Yun didn't give him a chance to escape.

"I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned. I'm not that delicate. I really don't need to listen to Dr. Lao Shizi's nonsense."

Bullshit, serious bullshit.

"You mean, I'm squeamish?" Lin Chuhuai said with amusement in his eyes.

Xia Yizheng found that Chang Yun seemed to be particularly difficult today, but this bump on the head seemed to change his character.

The author has something to say: Kobayashi: Am I squeamish?

Lao Xia: No, absolutely not, I didn’t mean that

Mou Tang: In his view, you are very weak
