Chapter 48: Forty-eight baby

The autumn wind swayed the car curtain.
When the carriage leaked, Xu Zhen was blown up and down, leaning on Xun Qianchun to find comfort.
Xun Qianchun was both happy and worried, but his face was as calm as ever, only occasionally frowning betrayed her.
The carriage moved northward all the way, the road became wider and wider, and the official road became more and more blurred. After passing through several stations, I changed a few horses, passed through the desert and oasis, and finally arrived in Yongzhou in half a month.
The two are going to Pingliang, not far from Hu Di. A little past, the Huns, there are some small countries around the world called Xiqin and Beiyan.
When it was almost flat, the weather was colder and drier. The soldiers wearing soft armor could be seen vaguely around and crouched on the ground to check the condition.
Xu Zhen looked out the window, her face was split by the cold wind, she closed her eyes and opened it, and saw the endless grassland. It was the evening, the desert and the smoke, the sunset and the river, the wind was rolling, and the eyes were bleak.
The northern part of Saibei only has sand and hay.
The city wall was blown gray, surrounded by bumpy yellow figures, and two skinny veterans stood at the city gate to check the hukou against the wall.
Looking down the gate, there were few people on the street, and even the stalls were too lazy to be ridiculous.
The two veterans checked Xu Zhen's identity and learned that Xu Zhen was a Jiu Pin Xiaoguan, and asked her to go inside to find the history of assassination.
Xu Zhen surprised that the history of Yongzhou's thorns stayed in Beiliang.
She had just got out of the carriage and was going to see it. The horseshoes at the gate of the city were dusty and dusty.
The thin horses ran in.
There was a man sitting on horseback.
Xu Zhen took Xun Qianchun to hide and made way for the horse, but then the man on the horse turned over, covered his chest covered with blood, and lay on the ground and shouted weakly: "Report, report--"
Seeing this, the city gate veteran hurriedly stepped up to support the man and shouted, "Come, come!!"
Warhorse, roaring, shouting, dust, swords and guns.
In an instant, the wind raged.
Suddenly a large crowd of horsemen riding horses flooded outside the city gate, screaming and getting closer and closer. At the same time, many soldiers in armor jumped off the city wall and lifted their long tassels to attack forward.
"Don't be afraid!!!" Someone in the sand screamed out, and a catapult was thrown on the city wall. Throwing heavy stones, the battle broke out in an instant.
For the first time, Xu Zhen saw a knife and wiped his neck at close range, and the blood spattered.
She watched a warhorse's front leg being cut off, sizzled and fell to the ground, feeling as if her leg had been cut, and she almost sat down on the ground.
When the driver was used to it, he called Xu Zhen and Xun Qianchun on the carriage, swept the two of them forward, walked through a city gate, and entered many residential places, let the two get off and let them take their luggage, Then drive away.
The loess is rustling and the north wind is blowing.
This is the border crossing, and war may break out at any time, scaring people so that they don’t want to go out in this life.
The city in the city is where the generals and the relatives of the soldiers live.
Here is the safest.
If it is not safe here, it means that the city gate is broken, and it is not safe.
As for this kind of war of one hundred people, it is just a small war.
It was a female officer who brought Xu Zhen to Pingliang.
She was pregnant for four months, had a big belly, and wore a common undergarment that had not been popular in Changan for a long time.
The female officer introduced Xu Zhen to the customs of Pingliang, told her where to go to play around, and told her about Pingliang.
Pingliang is really very poor.
The weather is not good and the harvest is not good. Fortunately, taxes are not heavy, which eases the pressure on life.
Xu Zhen is here as a customs officer who is responsible for inspecting past pedestrians. Normally there is nothing wrong, and he can go home from time to time.
The official position is idle, and there are no people around, only a small call.
Xu Zhen had a very comfortable life.
Go for a walk around the city during the day, and pull the little girl to study at night, or watch the little girl to practice martial arts.
In the past three months, the sky gradually snowed, and occasionally wolf smoke drifted in the distance, meaning that the war was on again.
It was quickly pressed down by the cold wind and snow.
Xu Zhen, dressed in a gray official uniform, sat at the entrance of the city, holding a white cake with a bleak look.
Anything in Pingliang is good, that is, the food is unpalatable, and the merits are not rising.
There were already bare branches on the road. Pedestrians put on jackets and had windproof velvet straps on their wrists. They were dressed as winter. There were pheasants on the side of the road. Everyone looked at them. Few people could afford them.
At the gate of Erdaocheng sat a silly aunt, carrying a sword on his back, with a branch in the sheath of the sword, and waiting for the mother who was a soldier to return.
Xu Zhen often dangles to watch and chat with silly aunts.
Ask her what martial arts she learned, and let's say that her small name is also martial arts.
But the silly boy ignored him.
Xu Zhen always talked up when she left.
Sure, it's better to stay with Xiaohua.
Little snow pressed against the city walls, a white piece.
The house rented by Xu Zhen and Xiaohuahua is more broken than that of Jiangling. The piles of loess are piled up, there is no light during the day, and the air leaks at night. The most annoying thing is that the entire Pingliang is this kind of house. house.
Xun Qianchun picked up the dirt and tried to block the wind.
The walls are getting thicker, but the wind is still leaking in.
The first two months have been okay.
Now in the winter, Xu Zhen couldn't stand it. He climbed to Xun Qianchun's bed every night and slept next to the heater, so he could fall asleep.
She pressed Xun Qianchun.
Xiaohuahua's arm is hot, the body is also hot, the temperature is just right, it makes people feel happy.
Xun Qianchun was very happy that Xu Zhen pressed herself, but her body always struggled with pain. She wanted to ask Xu Zhen several times, but when she saw Xu Zhen's face, she always felt that Xu Zhen would worry about herself and she could bear it again.
The two lived so peacefully.
The news of Chang'an will be heard after a long time, and after three months in Pingliang, what Chang'an tried in autumn is reported from the post.
The autumn test really belongs to Xu Zhen. As for the autumn test, it is postponed to re-examination. After that, it is not important who is in the school, Qinglongshan, or too much.
The cold wind violently shattered several branches.
Xun Qianchun feeds the chickens in the yard.
A few yellow chickens shuddered in the shed, and three or four white pigeons were closed in the shed next to them.
Xu Zhen lay on Xun Qianchun's back and looked at it for a long time, suggesting: "Do you want to raise more rabbits?"
Xun Qianchun sprinkled the rice husk and said, "Okay."
Xu Zhen asked again: "Is it close to Xianbei?"
Windy outside, Xun Qianchun pulled Xu Zhen into the house and lit a candlelight and said, "It's very close."
Xu Zhen sat on the futon and asked, "Have you been here?"
Xun Qianchun nodded.
"How come you have been here, at a young age, have gone so many places." Xu Zhen joked with her.
After half a laugh, Xu Zhen thought of it suddenly.
This broken place seems to be the place where Xun's family was stationed before.
The Xun family was famous for casting weapons. In Pingliang, they relied on forging weapons to sell money and collected a lot of military expenses. Later, after their promotion, their family lived in Chang'an. The Xunjialang lord continued to sit here until the door was copied.
Xu Zhen no longer continues to recall.
Xun Qianchun, this stuffy gourd, would not say too much on his own initiative, but he still told the things that the Xun family once stationed.
He said, "Xianbei is not far from here. Once, my father couldn't stand the attack. My mother took me back to Xianbei for help."
She followed Xu Zhen to learn the customs of the Han people. In fact, she didn't know nothing about it. She just followed Hu Ji's mother and learned the Xianbei language. Her mother didn't want her to contaminate the Han people.
But in the end, he was willing to climb the mountain by hand for the help of the Han Chinese father.
Xun Qianchun suddenly didn't understand what kind of feeling this was.
Xu Zhen saw Xun Qianchun silent and urged curiously: "What happened next?"
Xun Qianchun looked sideways at Xu Zhen.
Her eyes were full of confusion, and Mo Lan's eyes burst into an inexplicable emotion because of the confusion.
She replied: "I got it."
Xu Zhen laughed, "That's good."
Xun Qianchun said, "But I asked for my father's half arm."
Xu Zhen was dumbfounded and speechless.
This is too cruel.
Xun Qianchun said again: "They said that there are no benefits for no reason in the world."
Xu Zhen nodded: "This is quite reasonable, as the saying goes, there will be no pies in the sky."
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen.
Her facial features are deep, her eyes are passionate, and she always inadvertently flicks others. She said: "Only Mr., will treat others like this."
Xu Zhen also wanted to nod, and suddenly realized that Xiao Hua was misunderstood!
She quickly wanted to explain.
A little snow fell without warning, the northwest wind blew into the window, and the cold man wrapped the quilt tightly.
Xun Qianchun stepped forward and stuffed the window with burlap.
Xu Zhen missed a good time to explain again.
When she looked up.
Xun Qianchun had already come back, and looked at her tenderly, like the melting lake and lake water.
Xu Zhen said openly.
"Sir." Xun Qianchun couldn't help but whisper.
Xu Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"
Xun Qianchun stopped talking. She shook her head and held Xu Zhen to the bed with the quilt. Then she lifted the quilt, got in, and watched Xu Zhen sleep.
The two are intertwined and look very harmonious.
Just inside Xun Qianchun, he always remembered the picture of Xu Zhen chatting with the Chengkou girl in the afternoon.
Uncomfortable.
Xun Qianchun thought very unhappy.
After a few more days of leisure.
The big-bellied female officer could not see it anymore. She came to Xu Zhen and gave her a part-time job. It was Xu Zhen's old business and went to the college to teach students.
There is such a college in Pingliang.
The female officer asked Xu Zhenjiao's students to be similar to Li Sanlang and Ge Xi'er.
Pingliang children are almost always martial.
Raised his gun at the age of three, launched his horse at the age of five, and sneaked into the enemy camp at the age of eight.
Xu Zhen's biggest headache is this kind of child.
She resigned a few days later.
By the way, by this opportunity, I asked the female officer what he thought of the Hu people.
Pingliang often fights with the Hu people, and naturally hates the Hu people, but when Xu Zhen and Xun Qianchun got off the bus, many people saw the cold and quiet girl who looked cold and quiet. She was honest and duty-free and did not come to trouble.
The woman official said that this kind of thing depends on everyone's mood.
Xu Zhen asked with a smile: "I have always heard that the sage does not like the Hu people, and I thought it would be the same here."
The woman official said: "We are not particularly fond of fighting. If we can shake hands with the Hu people, I should agree, but they do not give us this opportunity, but continue to rob, it is really a group of animals."
She finished scolding, moved up, and sat on the ground with a frown.
Xu Zhen sat down and told her the story of Chang'an.
After hearing the rain in Changan, the female officer laughed at first, then began to cry again.
Xu Zhen asked: "How do you cry for a while and laugh for a while?"
The female officer slowly explained: "Changan is too comfortable. The rainstorm can alert the Holy Ghost. Unfortunately, Holy Ghost, it seems that he does not know what this flood disaster means at all."
Xu Zhen thought, not only in the Holy Ghost, even my kind of traversing, I don’t understand what the floods mean?
The female officer said nothing more and got up and left quickly.
Xu Zhen took her to the door of Taoism, watched her enter the house, and walked into the corner alone.
Xu Zhen thought about the floods and went home. Her lips and cheeks were chapped by the climate here. She had to bleed at any time, making her miss the modern ointment a little.
There is no such thing in the system store.
It has a windproof mask, but it's too dazzling to walk on the road.
Xu Zhen walked home anxiously and told Xun Qianchun about Pingliang and the Hu people.
Xun Qianchun happened to be thinking about this too.
She looked at a sheepskin newspaper she didn't know where to get it. She said above that the Hu people should not live in Shangzhou. If they want to get in and out like the Han people, they can only fight.
Xun Qianchun spotted this.
She couldn't go to the Imperial Examination, so she wanted to try it, and then walk the Xun family's old road to approach the generals who had been born and died with the Xun family.
She and Xu Zhen said: "I think, fight."
