Chapter seven hundred and seventy fourth five years(1/2)
Sunset City, east of the city, in a remote corner, in the dilapidated house, the lights are jumping and slightly dim.
Inside the room, Ning Chen looked at the little boy with tears in front of him, gently took the sword in his hand, then walked forward and hung up again.
"Xiaowen, heirlooms cannot be given to others easily, otherwise, how can heirlooms be called "heirlooms"?"
Ning Chen turned around, rubbed the little boy's head, and smiled and said, "Your mother's illness will be cured quickly, don't worry."
"Is what sir said true?" Xiaowen raised his hand and wiped away the tears in his eyes and asked.
"Of course it's true. Sir never lie." Ning Chen smiled and replied.
"I believe in sir"
Xiaowen burst into tears and laughed, and felt relieved.
By the bed, Xinyu let go of her hand for taking her pulse, looked at her husband on the side, and said softly, "It's the wind and cold."
"Wind and cold?"
Ning Chen frowned slightly. If it were the wind and cold, how could Xiaowen's mother be so ill?
"Wind and cold are just the cause. In fact, the biggest problem is that Xiaowen's mother has been working hard for many years and is already very weak."
Speaking of this, Xinyu sighed softly and said, "I'll do my best."
"gentlemen?"
Xiaowen gently pulled the sleeves of the person beside him and said hopefully, "Are you okay with mom?"
"Xiao Wen Fangxin, your mother is fine"
Ning Chen lowered his head, his face showed a gentle look, and replied.
Xinyu took out the silver needle she carried with her and put it into the acupoints of the Taiyin lung meridian, Du meridian, Ren meridian, etc. on the woman's hands to drive away the wind and cold energy in her body.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xinyu put away the silver needle, looked at the little boy waiting nervously beside her, and smiled, "It's okay, just go to school on the morning of the night, I will come to take care of your mother."
"But"
A look of hesitation flashed across Xiaowen's face and said.
"Xiaowen is obedient. Your master's wife understands medical skills and can take better care of your mother," Ning Chen said softly.
Xiaowen nodded, looked at the fairy-like woman in front of her and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master's wife."
Ning Chen patted the little boy's head and said softly, "It's not too late, let's go back first. Xiaowen, you go to bed early, and you will go to school tomorrow."
"Um"
Xiaowen responded obediently.
"Let's go"
Ning Chen looked at the people around him and spoke.
Xinyu nodded and walked outside together.
On the street, Ning Chen whispered, "Xinyu, I saw that there was something in your words just now, is there anything wrong?"
"It's about Xiaowen's mother's disease"
Xinyu sighed lightly, "I have become sick after a long time of hard work. Even if the wind and cold are cured this time, Xiaowen's mother will not have too much time."
"How long can it last?" Ning Chen frowned.
"Five or Six Years"
Xinyu replied softly.
Ning Chen was silent, and after a moment, he spoke, "If Xiaowen's mother wakes up tomorrow, tell her about this. I think she should know a little."
"Um"
Xinyu nodded and replied.
"rumble"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded again in the distance, but unlike the previous one, this time, more than ten riders galloped past, carrying long swords on their waists and arrows behind them, with murderous intent.
In front of the street, Ning Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. It was such a turbulent time.
The iron cavalry passed by, dust and sand were everywhere. The two stood for a while, and then they continued to walk forward.
The cold moon shone brightly. After a few hours, two hundred miles east of the ancient city, more than ten iron cavalry caught up with the people who had left before. The fight began. After a fierce battle, the people who were chased barely broke through and dragged their seriously injured body to continue to rush towards the Daxia Imperial City in the east.
The night passed, the day came, everything was as before, Ning Chen went to the private school, Xinyu went to Xiaowen's house, and the people in the city continued to work day after day, without any change.
In private schools, the chanting sounds are so clear that young children don’t know much and their minds are the simplest. It is very satisfying to have the opportunity to study.
After school, Xiaowen rushed out of school without waiting for the etiquette to finish and was anxious to run out of school, and he was always worried about his serious illness.
Seeing the child’s rash appearance, Ning Chen did not blame him. The child’s filial piety is the most precious emotion in the world and no one can blame him.
When he returned home, Xinyu had not come back yet, Ning Chen walked to the medicine garden to help organize the herbs.
The garden of flowers and plants releases a unique medicinal fragrance. Among them, one medicinal herb is extremely dazzling. The medicine is called the Soul-breaking, and the most poisonous thing in the world.
Ning Chen saw it, but pretended that he didn't see it, and continued to sort out other herbs.
“So early to come back”
The gate of the courtyard opened, Xinyu walked in, looked at the figure in the medicine garden, and chuckled.
"It's not that I'm early, it's that you're late."
Ning Chen smiled, walked forward, helped him get the medicine box, and said, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired"
Xinyu shook her head and said.
"After taking care of the patient for a day, why are you not tired? Let's go back to the house first."
Ning Chen held the hand of the woman beside him and walked towards the room.
The sky on the border is different from the imperial city, and the time difference between the four seasons is very large. The imperial city is already hot summer at this time, but in the border, it is just after the cold winter and it is extremely cold.
The fire in the room crackled. Ning Chen put down the herbs, reached out and held the slightly cool hand of the former, and said, "Boil the fire and warm it up."
"Um"
Xinyu sat next to the fire, feeling the warmth coming from her, leaned her head gently on the shoulders of the people beside her, and said softly, "Today, Xiaowen's mother woke up and told me a lot. It turns out that Xiaowen's ancestors were a general's family."
Ning Chen carefully moved his body, making the former more comfortable to rely on, and responded, "When I saw the sword yesterday, I guessed something, where is Xiaowen's father?"
"Dead"
Xinyu looked emotional and said, "Xiaowen's family has lost its family by the generation of his grandfather. In order to make it better for them, mother and son, Xiaowen's father also chose to join the army. Unfortunately, he died in the battle a few years ago when he suppressed the rebellion."
"The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned for ten years"
Ning Chen murmured softly, "War is a matter of life and death, and no one can survive."
He doesn't like war, he doesn't like it very much. If possible, he hopes that there will never be war in the world again.
When Fan Lingyue dived the power of Beimeng to attack Xia, his purpose was to unify China and completely end the confrontation between many dynasties.
He didn't know whether the prosperous era of Fan Lingyue's mouth would appear after the unification of China. He only knew that in the history of China, the situation of unification of the world would never last for too long.
The world's general trend is that long-term separation will lead to unity and long-term separation. The reason is still the human heart.
People who pursue their full strength will never stop, and there is almost no possibility of ending the battlefield completely.
Although cruel, this is the truth.
The origin of war is to fight for power and profit. Any beautified word is hypocritical. No matter the winner who writes history or the loser who is nailed to the pillar of shame, it is no exception.
"Husband, Xinyu is very happy in the past six months."
In the soft murmur, Xinyu leaned on the shoulders of the people beside her and fell asleep exhausted.
Ning Chen gently embraced the sleeping woman in his arms, and a light fragrance penetrated into his breath, carrying a faint fragrance of medicine, so familiar, as warm as before.
This is his wife, a woman worthy of his lifelong companionship. He does not regret his decision.
Time passed by little by little in this scene, and we supported each other and were willing to be ordinary.
Five years later, a team of soldiers appeared in the ancient city, with more than 5,000 officials in the head, with a third-ranked official and extraordinary noble character.
The people in the city saw so many officers and soldiers for the first time, and they made way for the road and dared not get too close.
In the city, Su Mei, who sells tofu, is married as a wife. Her husband is an honest man. The two of them set up a stall together and continue to do the tofu business.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, the carriage was slashed down the tofu stall, and the tofu was spilled all over the floor. Su Mei and the man squatted down silently, cleaned up the stall, and did not dare to resist.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. Although they have never read books, they know this truth.
When the two of them were packing up, a figure in plain clothes appeared and squatted down to help clean up.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning"
Seeing the person appearing in front of him, Su Mei's tears flashed with gratitude and said.
"It's just a little effort"
