Chapter 725: I want Dad!

After saying that, the boat had slipped far away, and Pei Yuanxiu suddenly blurred in my sight. I could not see the expression on his face, nor could he hear him speak because of the sound of gurgling water, only to see that he took a step forward, Jiang Fengyan, blowing that white suit flying.
Although you can't see it, it seems that you can understand it all.
I stood at the stern of the ship, and Jiang Feng rolled Mercury across my face. The moist touch seemed to be like tears, but I knew I didn't. At this moment, no tears could flow.
I was just far away, gazed at him, and turned back to the cabin.
.
Although the fishing boat is not small, after all, it is no longer than the big boat used by Pei Yuanxiu to accompany me across the river, and it is necessary to take a lot of time and effort to go to the waters near Jixiang Village.
Fortunately, the boatman was an experienced one at a glance. He skillfully supported a bamboo pole, and the fishing boat drove into the heart of the river. The speed was not too fast, but it was very stable. Listening to the sound of gurgling water, I felt the hull. Rising and falling with the waves gave people a sense of security and even peace, as if the child was in the arms of a mother.
I sat in the cabin and turned to look at Gu Ping.
I haven't seen these days. He has grown better. Maybe the boy of this age is just like a day, not only his head is much taller, his skin is darker, his expression is no longer as reckless as before, and there is a trace of big man Calm. But when he looked at me, the affection in his eyes didn't change much.
I smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, are you okay?"
"Mrs. Infant--"
Upon hearing his title, I frowned again: "Pinger?"
He hesitated for a moment, and smiled, and said, "Just now the son is here, you can't shout, and you forgot to change." After that, he said to me: "Aunt Qing."
I laughed and said, "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing well," he said. "In the barracks, although the training is very hard, you don't have to think about it and you can eat it every day."
"Well, I think you are stronger than before." Then I asked, "Is it hard to practice?"
"Yeah, I get up every day at noon, run ten laps around the camp, and also practice marksmanship, boxing, and practice with others. When I first went, I was often beaten on the ground by people, but now Not anymore."
He said, it seemed a little proud: "Even the centurion said, I am a good material for martial arts."
"Oh."
"Also, you don't know, now they recruit new recruits, and I'll take some new recruits!"
"Is it……"
I smiled lightly, but my heart was a little heavy.
He is doing well. I am very happy every day without having to think about the tragedy I experienced; but his enrichment is to learn martial arts, train soldiers, learn to fight, and learn to fight with people smaller than him ...
What all this shows is that maybe the people in it have no time to think about it, but they have gone far, and they can understand better when they look at the scenery outside.
I turned back subconsciously, looking at where I came from, after the vast smoke on the south bank, the huge water village.
With the flames of war, the people left, the corpses were everywhere, how innocent they were ...
Perhaps, that camp should be destroyed.
Shen Xiaokun is right. If the sword can't see the blood, how can it be empty? Pei Yuanxiu forged such a large Shuijun camp, recruited and forged, and worked hard day and night, not for the purpose of fighting? Destroyed that camp, at least in the short term, it will not be able to fight, or even if it does, it will not be too tragic; if the imperial court can peacefully recover Jiangnan without resistance, after the reunification, it will resist foreign enemies and focus on farming and rest. May usher in a new golden age.
The people will not be displaced and suffer the war.
but……
After thinking about Yanbo Haomiao, the standing figure, looking at the daughter sleeping in her arms, I could only sigh weakly.
I don't have the energy, and I really don't want to control it anymore.
The general situation in the world could not have been changed because of the wishes of one or two people, but now I don't want to get involved in those things. I just want to take my daughter to live a good life and make up for the years of owing her motherly love. Healing his old injuries. I have lived for a lifetime, and I have experienced it that I should n’t. Now, I just want to live my own life.
Thinking of this, I turned back and stroked Lier's cheek carefully.
Gu Ping kept looking at me, and suddenly whispered, "Aunt Qing."
"Ok?"
"I have something and want to give it to you."
"what?"
I looked up and looked at him, and saw that the young man found a cloth bag from behind and handed it to me. As soon as I took it, Shen almost couldn't hold it. I opened it and saw that it was full of large pieces of silver. I pinched with my hands, and there were dozens of them.
this is--
"This is the money you gave the boatman when you were on the boat."
I stumbled: "Not so much."
He nodded, and a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes: "At that time, I saw Aunt Qing and his son seemed to know each other. They were also kind to me, and they told me about it, and they really helped me Go to the boatman and get the money back, and all of them got it back. But the other people who took the boat were scattered, and I couldn't find them, so I gave the money to Aunt Qing. "
I couldn't help laughing, "You."
This boy, I still think he is an impulsive and ignorant child. I didn't expect him to be so cunning.
But ... nothing! Anyway, this money is already here. If I do n’t take it for nothing, my life in Jixiang Village will be easier.
There was a smile on the corner of my mouth, but I saw that Pinger reached out and took out something from his arms, and carefully put it in my palm: "There is also this, Aunt Qing, I will help you come back."
I looked down and the smile in the corner of my mouth became a little heavy.
In the palm of his hand is a silver lock.
The light of the silver lock was originally white and moist, but at that moment I was stinging my eyes.
Vaguely see the silver light, there are several familiar words-
Lightness
Liu San
Inseparable
"Lightness ... Liu San ... Do not leave ..."
I muttered, every word pierced into my heart like a needle.
I do n’t know what kind of mood he used to hit the silver lock in those difficult years, and engraved these words, maybe his mood at that time has now been completely forgotten, and his firm belief at that time, It has long since disappeared with the passage of time.
What's left ... I looked down at my daughter and was close at hand.
But what about my Liu San? He said he would stay with me, where is it?
.
I do not know how long it took before the ship was finally approaching the shore.
I slowly walked out holding the cabin, standing on the bow of the boat, I could already smell a familiar fishy smell, diffused in the water vapor. Here is a familiar landscape. In shallow water, you can see many fish baskets, shrimp baskets, and fishing nets drying on the river beach. The scattered fish scales are illuminated by the sun, reflecting a little silver light.
A few children are gathering on the beach, throwing stones, hopscotch, and you chasing after me hurrying around. Two or three large fishing boats are docked at the shore, which is also the home of fishermen. At this time, it is almost noon, and they can hear the sound of cooking in a pot, and they can smell the fishy smell.
Lier has woke up, rubbing his eyes and holding my hand, and staring at this strange environment in front of me.
For a long while, she looked up and asked me, "Mother, where is this?"
I smiled: "This is Jixiang Village."
"Auspicious village? Where is it?"
"This is where we will live here in the future."
"what?……"
She froze, her little head seemed to be unable to digest this fact for a while, holding me stupidly, then the boat trembled, and the boat finally stabilized. I was carefully supported by the boatman. After the shore, turned around and hugged Lier.
She still didn't respond. She was held in my arms and stared at the fishing nets, the fishing boats, the shabby clothes, and the children who were happily guarding a few small stones.
As soon as I looked back, I saw Gu Ping already carrying those baggage bags on his back, but he jumped ashore easily and asked, "Is it ahead?"
"Ok."
I nodded, thanked the boatman, and took Gu Ping to the past.
.
Jixiang Village is still the same.
The sound of dog barking is endless, and the air is filled with fishy smell. Of course, the villagers around them are amazed by the way.
I'm a bit fatter than before, and I'm more particular about my clothes, but it doesn't prevent them from recognizing me. Before I got married, the woman who had scolded me by the nose pointed at my nose and was stunned when she saw me. The water basin in my hand fell to the ground and poured water.
I didn't speak, and always had a faint smile on the corner of my mouth. At this time, Lier had completely lost his reaction, and I hugged me all the way and finally stopped in front of a clean courtyard.
The fence seemed to be repaired a bit, the yard was cleaned, and it was clean. There was still some firewood in the corner of the side. The doorway was the same as before, and there was a wide wooden shelf with a dustpan on it, but it was empty inside. And did not air dry any aquatic products.
I stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at everything in front of me.
Seeing that I hadn't spoken and didn't move, Gu Ping behind took a step forward and said quietly, "Aunt Qing, is this here?"
"……Yes."
I nodded a little hesitantly, and reached out to open the courtyard door.
When I walked into this courtyard, the whole person was completely lost.
There was an empty courtyard in front of me, but my vision was blurred, as if I saw it ... I saw a young man with dark skin and strong, waving an axe in the courtyard to chop firewood, and the sweat seemed extremely clear and clear in the sun; I I saw him lying on the table, writing letters and obituaries for the people in the village, and beside him, the woman in sarong was cutting the dried fish one by one and putting them in the dustpan. Go inside to dry.
Everything seems to be yesterday.
Pushing the door open, the humble room was still inside.
The little bed was still there, and the shabby account with the patch was put down, it was washed so that it could not see the color, but fortunately it was not dirty, the table was clean, the two tea cups were buckled upside down, but obviously it has been a long time used.
In the back room, I didn't go. The blue curtain was also lowered, but as the door opened, the wind poured in, and the curtain fluttered slightly.
Everything here is alive.
I can still see that family, a sick but kind mother, crazy, but the aunt who relied heavily on the "son" carried the burden of the family's life, but always had a smiling man on his face, and The woman who had a big belly and brought the fried vegetables with oil and salt to the table. They had dinner around a faint candlelight. The meal was very simple, and it was not even enough to make people full.
They do not live easily, heavy taxes, hard lives.
But I clearly saw that their smiles were clearly happy.
"mother……"
Suddenly the sound of Lier sounded in my ear, and I felt a slight shock, and the illusory sight immediately disappeared.
I turned my head a little blankly and looked at Li'er, the uncertain, almost helpless expression that appeared on her face for the first time: "Mother, where is this? What are we doing here?"
Children are very good at coaxing, but at the same time they are also the most sensitive. Obviously everything around her has disturbed her. She looked around again. The little hand that had been around my neck gripped me even harder: "What about Dad? Why didn't Dad come?"
I said softly, "Lier, Dad can't live here."
"Ah?" Her voice was already crying, "Aye, why didn't Ady come, why not stay here?"
"Lier ..."
What else do I want to say, but I ca n’t say it, she cried wow, "Aya! I want aya!"
