Chapter 13, Go to the west of the river
In a hurry, Dunhuang can only stay for a short time. Out of the nature of soldiers, Fu Jiezi went to Dunhuang's army to take a look at the military appearance and was a little disappointed. He did not have the majesty that the Han army should have. Probably because the Xiongnu invaded, and the support of the court had not been less morale.
Returning to the library, Fu Jiezi thought about it again and again and went to find Su Qiaoer. He didn't want Yin Yin to speak quickly. He had already told Su Qiaoer. At this time, Su Qiaoer became extremely silent.
"Brother Fu, I can't leave my father. I want to stay in Dunhuang!"
This is almost the result that you don't need to ask. Fu Jiezi didn't say anything more. Father Su must be unable to move like this now. As a daughter, Su Qiaoer will naturally not leave him. However, this departure suddenly made the Han army even more bleak.
"Well, Qiaoer, then stay in Dunhuang to take care of your father. I will tell the county guard to go to him if you need anything urgently." A trace of silence flashed in Fu Jiezi's eyes and said, "Maybe I will be back soon. At that time, your father's injury should be almost healed."
Su Qiaoer nodded repeatedly. At this time, she was focused on Su's father's injury. The private relationship between her children was already very light for this little girl who didn't know much, but there was a faint melancholy.
Fu Jiezi thought that he came back this time and brought the messenger of poison and rest, but now there is an accident in Loulan. The merchant was robbed and the messenger was killed. Only the matter of finding a horse can be said to be completed. However, finding a horse is just an incidental small matter. The real big thing is still in Wusun, and I don't know that it is now. How is Sun's situation?
In the morning of the next day, the gate of Dunhuang opened, and the Geng brothers sent Fu Jiezi and his party out of the city. The elders accompanied the crowd. Fu Jiezi did not see Alexis and said, "Big Elder, where are the Ali people?"
The elder shouted and said, "This baby grew up with Miss Su. Su Huo is half a father. He also wants to stay and take care of him, so I'll leave it to him."
Yin Yin** had to look at Fu Jiezi, with dissatisfaction in her eyes, but with a trace of joy.
Fu Jiezi looked back and didn't see Su Qiaoer's figure. She just thought that she was dispensing medicine for Su's father at this time. She should not be able to escape and was about to leave. The camel bell behind was clear, and Su Qiaoer floated out alone.
Looking at each other, Fu Jiezi found that Su Qiaoer's eyes were more affectionate and reluctant to take advantage of her age, but she looked so calm.
The girl finally began to grow up, and Fu Jiezi sighed and was a little relieved. After all, she was not a pig or a dog, and this girl was still a little reluctant to leave by herself.
"Brother Fu, I..." Su Qiaoer stopped talking. Fu Jiezi came to his senses and said, "What's wrong? Qiao'er. Su Qiaoer looked at the crowd around her and was a little embarrassed. She paused for a moment and said, "Brother Fu, can we go there?"
When Fu Jiezi saw her expression, it was easy to cause misunderstanding. She couldn't instinctively look at Yin Yin Yin. Yin pretended not to see it. Fu Jiezi couldn't help saying, "Yinyin, shall I go there?" Yin Yin hummed, "Go, there will be no chance if you don't go."
"Brother Fu, come here." Su Qiaoer's face turned red.
Fu Jiezi followed Su Qiaoer and said with a smile, "Qiaoer, there is no one now. Are you reluctant to let us go?" Su Qiaoer paused again and again, as if the courage she had just summoned had disappeared again, and she only nodded.
Fu Jiezi smiled bitterly and said, "The world is impermanent, Qiaoer. I believe that it won't be long before I will come back to pick you up. You are my daughter-in-law who has never passed. I won't leave you in the Western Regions like this." Su Qiaoer was silent, and her eyes were a little confused.
Leaving Dunhuang and walking on Hexi Avenue, the Han army finally started. Fu Jiezi's mood was very heavy and was silent for several days. Yin Yin persuaded him several times, and he was also a little angry. This man was walking in Hexi, but his heart was in Dunhuang in the desert. As a wife, this feeling was not very uncomfortable.
After this day, after Jiuquan, the Han army took a temporary rest and passed through the monument of Jiuquan County. The front well was well steered very well. Yin Yin said, "Yours, do you remember this well?"
Fu Jiezi raised his head slightly. Naturally, he understood what Yin Yin meant and said, "During the Battle of Hexi, the former emperor ordered people to send a jar of wine from the capital to reward the cavalry general Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing did not enjoy it alone. He poured the jar of wine into the local spring and let all the soldiers come and enjoy it. From then on, the spring in his eyes was all good wine, so it was named 'wine spring'.
Yin said, "Yes, General Huo's reputation has been in history, and everything he has said and done has been passed down for thousands of years. You are also a soldier of the Han Dynasty. You should think of making contributions and be famous for thousands of generations, instead of focusing on the love of children. Now the court is in chaos, and it is an era of heroes. You should cheer up. After saying that, he was a little weak and said, "I'm not angry because you want them. Humph, you don't want to be a marquis. I still want to be Mrs. Hou."
Fu Jiezi's heart was slightly shocked when he heard this and took a short rest. The army continued to rush on his way. The difficult elders never seemed to know that he was tired and were happy all the way. Fu Jiezi originally planned to take Yin Yin to the north to go back to a free life after returning from the Western Regions, but Yin Yin seemed to prefer to continue to be this general. Several years of military has made him tired. In essence, he is a scholar and has been driven to join the army. Now everything goes back to the past. What he prefers is the little scholar who is often bullied by his wife in the north.
"E Elder, how do you think you should live your life? Is it to make contributions?" Fu Jiezi, a Taoist apprentice, is essentially not interested in fame, otherwise his achievements and relationship with the general these days will not be a Pingle supervisor.
The elders laughed and said, "People have their own aspirations. Our fire religionists just want to live a better life, protect their homes, and make their families eat better and dress warmer. They don't have to wander around and be enslaved. We yearn for true light and kindness. As long as everything is not contrary to it, we will work hard all our lives to achieve it. Whether it's making achievements or hidden mountains and forests, you should make yourself and the people around you make your home full of light, love and kindness.
Fu Jiezi couldn't help looking at Yin Yin. Before he joined the army, he was called the extermination of the Xiongnu, but he actually went away with a cavity of hatred. Now that Yin Yin came back, his revenge heart also faded, but the villagers and people around him suffered too much from the Xiongnu, and he did five things. Six years, it was not easy to stop at the last moment, and he insisted on destroying the Xiongnu. He was really confused about what he was going to do and what he was doing. After listening to the words of the elder, he seemed to understand something in his heart.
A few days after, Fu Jiezi was obviously in a much better mood, and the long corridor of Hexi seemed to become shorter.
