MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 55 , Foolish and filial man in Fu Baowen (20)
Erniang waited at home for her father not to arrive, so she asked Nanny Lin to go outside to inquire. Only then did she know that the southern border had sent troops to harass the border again, and the team her father belonged to had chased the Heiwu tribe into the dense forest. Return date is uncertain.
At this time, Er Niang really had a sense of reality.
She really realized that they left Fengyang County and came to a completely strange place. Her father's service as an officer and soldier was not only for enjoying the blessings, but once a war started, his life would be in danger at any time.
In the past, wars were far away from her, and she always felt that the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that it was not so easy to fight. After all, Fengyang County is far away from Lin'an. Small fights will not spread so far at all.
Therefore, before coming to Lin'an, Erniang always felt that her father would be a centurion, so he might not be able to fight in the battlefield at all.
Who knew that on the first day they came, her father went to war.
Fighting means that people may die.
That night, Mrs. Lin made very appetizing fish with pickled cabbage and sweet and sour pork ribs, but Er Niang barely ate two bites and went back to her room.
The dressing table and large wardrobe that made her feel rare during the day can no longer attract her. The little girl is lying on the kang, and every time she turns over, raises her head and looks at the window. The window of the room is just facing the second door. direction.
The ears are also listening carefully to the movement outside, for fear that there will be any bad news.
One night, Erniang didn't even close her eyes. When the sky was getting dark, she simply put on her clothes and sat on the steps outside the main room. She rested her chin in her hands and looked at the door pitifully.
"Hello!"
There was a sound from the fence on the left, Erniang looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out that Yang Qiwu, who had met yesterday, climbed onto the fence between the two houses at some point, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and was chomping on it. I'm eating.
"Are you worried about your father?"
Yang Qiwu knew that the head of the new hundred household who came next door was his father's colleague, and their team went to war together yesterday, so this little sister must be worried about his father.
Once there is an enemy attack, the people in the army will definitely not be able to come back for a while. Last night when eating, his mother was still talking about the little girl next door, saying that she had just come here and had been with her since she was a child. Father depends on each other for life, I am afraid that he will not eat well and sleep well these few days.
Yang Qiwu has a strong nerve, thinking about it, isn't it just a war, there is nothing to worry about, he has seen his father go to war since he was born, but now it seems that his mother is right, the little sister he saw yesterday is so energetic , her face was pink and white, but now her whole body was wilted, and the circles under her eyes were dark, as if someone had punched her twice with a hand that had touched the ashes of the bottom of the pot.
The little girl is really troublesome, she is so delicate, she always needs to be coaxed.
Yang Qiwu ate the last mouthful of steamed buns in his hand, sat on the wall shaking his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Aren't you worried?"
Erniang pursed her lips. She remembered that the uncle of Aunt Yang's family next door was in the same team as her father, so the other party should also be on the battlefield. Isn't he worried?
"Don't worry, my dad is amazing!"
When it comes to his own father, Yang Qiwu is excited, in their area, his father is a legend.
Not everyone can be born from humble origins, step by step to the position of centurion, although there are still many people talking about Yang Yong's birth behind his back, thinking that his background is not clean, but Yang Yong's ability, everyone All admitted.
Yang Qiwu worships heroes, and now that his father is the bravest, he admires his father the most.
"Don't worry, those monkeys in southern Xinjiang are no match for our Tang Dynasty man. We won't beat him to death every time we come, and this time is no exception. If you are worried, I will tell you when they come back this time." Father, let him protect your father from now on."
Yang Qiwu patted his chest, covering everything.
"Wait a few more years, when I can go to the battlefield, I won't need my father, and I can also protect my uncle."
He, Yang Qiwu, is a man who aspires to become a great general!
He had just passed his ninth birthday, and because of his height, he was starting to look a little thin. He had a small mouth and showed a proud expression of cowhide coquettishness.
What he said before comforted Erniang a bit, but the second half of what he said made Erniang not very happy.
"My father is also very good!"
As if to support her statement, she stretched out her hand and gestured again.
"My father is so strong!"
Standing on tiptoe, she tried to point out her father's height, then opened her arms again, and gestured for her father's width.
"My dad's arms are so thick and his legs are so strong, you...you can barely match my dad's fraction if you eat a few more years."
Erniang talked and gestured, wanting Yang Qiwu to know her father's power.
It's a pity that when Su Aobai came with his daughter yesterday, Yang Qiwu was going to the next alley with a group of friends to fight for territory, and he didn't see Su Aobai at all.
Seeing Erniang's slightly exaggerated description, I couldn't believe it.
This gesture is not a person, it is clearly a bear.
Yang Qiwu suddenly thought of a sentence his mother once said.
"It's good to have a daughter, a daughter is caring, in the eyes of a daughter, father is the most powerful hero in the world, and mother is the most gentle and capable mother in the world, unlike you brats, it will make people angry. "
He felt that Erniang was the best-behaved girl in his mother's mouth, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that his parents were the best.
Forget it, the little sister can think whatever she likes, after a few years, he is showing her what kind of man is called a hero, such as him!
"are you hungry?"
When Yang Qiwu was about to jump off the fence, he suddenly asked Erniang.
He saw that the windows of the stove at his residence were still dark, obviously the stove hadn't been lit yet.
That's right, it's actually still early, the sun hasn't fully risen yet, and there are still many people in this alley immersed in dreamland.
The rules of the Yang family are a bit different from those of outsiders. In this era, unless they are cooks who make money by cooking, other men do not enter the kitchen. Cooking is a woman's job. However, because of Yang Yong's special birth, these outsiders are not allowed to enter the kitchen. The rules that are considered important are **** in their family.
If you are hungry and have no food, you can make it yourself. Whoever wakes up hungry can prepare breakfast for the whole family, put it on the pot and warm it with embers, and those who wake up later can eat breakfast directly.
Today, Yang Qiwu was the first to get up, and he happened to be hungry, so he deftly steamed a pot of steamed buns mixed with corn noodles, and boiled a pot of gruel.
"Not hungry."
Erniang clutched her stomach, feeling the sudden hunger, and whispered a lie.
But the stomach began to protest and made a growl.
That's right, since last night, she has only eaten so little, but Nanny Lin carefully packed a plate of snacks for her, and put them in her bedroom. If she wakes up in the middle of the night and is hungry, she can eat them first. Snack pads to cushion the stomach.
Yang Qiwu didn't know, he just heard the rumbling of Erniang's stomach.
"You wait, I'll get you a steamed bun. The one I just made is no worse than my mother's."
Then before Erniang could react, he jumped off the fence, and Erniang could only hear the sound of him running away through the stone wall.
Erniang thought for a while, and continued to sit on the steps and wait for Yang Qiwu. After a while, the familiar figure nimbly climbed onto the fence, then turned over and jumped down to the courtyard of Su's house.
"Here, be careful it's hot."
He was holding a dish, and inside it was a steamed bun almost as big as Erniang's face, and there were some pickles on the side, which were eaten with the steamed bun.
"My mother's pickled vegetables are delicious, but unfortunately I have learned many times, but I have never mastered this skill."
Yang Qiwu said regretfully, then looked at Erniang expectantly, beckoning her to eat quickly.
Erniang looked at the steamed bun that was bigger than her face, and felt helpless, but facing Yang Qiwu's expectant gaze, she resignedly picked up the steamed bun with both hands, and took a big bite.
She consciously took a big mouthful, but in Yang Qiwu's eyes it was still too gentle and delicate.
The dough is very chewy. Although corn noodles are added, because the corn noodles are ground very finely, it does not taste rough, but has a special aroma of corn.
It's really not bad to eat, and to Er Niang who was eating the worst food in the family not long ago, it was even a bit delicious.
In addition, she was already hungry, so she actually ate such a big steamed bun with the pickles on the plate in one big mouthful.
"belch-"
She couldn't help hiccupping, and then quickly covered her mouth, the skin uncovered by her fingers was blushing.
"It's delicious."
Yang Qiwu was satisfied, even though the steamed bun Erniang ate was actually his share of breakfast this morning.
The conditions of the Yang family are not rich, because there are too many children in the family, and they all eat well. Yang Yong's monthly silver and some rewards for winning battles are almost all spent on buying food.
Liu Yinghua had to plant vegetables and fruits in the front and back yards just to save money.
Therefore, she gave each child in the family a set amount to ensure that they are full. If she wants to eat Hesai, she must not be able to.
Yang Qiwu is the child with the biggest appetite in the family, even though he is the youngest, he eats more than his elder brother Yang Dawu.
Yang Yong said that this youngest is like him. He also has a big appetite since he was a child, but because he is from a lowly background, he can’t eat enough every day. If it wasn’t for a full meal, he wouldn’t be on the battlefield So desperately.
However, it may also be because of his big appetite, the strength he has shown since he was a child is also greater than that of children of the same age. In this regard, Yang Qiwu also followed him.
Therefore, when other brothers generally have a bowl of porridge and a big steamed bun for breakfast, Yang Qiwu can still eat one more.
Now that he gave one of them to Erniang, he had to think about going to catch some small animals with his brothers to fill his stomach after dawn.
He didn't say anything, but Erniang was not the kind of careless girl.
The environment she lived in since she was a child told her that for an ordinary family like theirs, food is rationed. Yang Qiwu brought her a steamed bun that big. Someone in their family must not have enough to eat today.
Erniang didn't want to take advantage of this, so she asked Yang Qiwu to wait before he left, and then went back to her room, and put half of the pastries on the plate he brought.
"Give."
She handed the snacks to Yang Qiwu.
"You share your breakfast with me, and I share your breakfast with you."
Yang Qiwu looked at the delicate pastry on the plate, and knew that it must be something bought from a pastry shop, and its value was much higher than the multigrain steamed bun he gave.
He has a big heart, he never thought of humiliation or grievance, he just felt that the little girl in front of him was a loss.
Why is this sister so stupid, she doesn't even know she's at a disadvantage?
Yang Qiwu sighed in his heart, his mother also said to let him take care of this little sister, seeing that the other party seemed to be stupid and easy to deceive, Yang Qiwu felt that this would be a very difficult task.
But a man is a big man, he spit and nails, once he agrees, he must do it.
So he took the plate of pastries with a solemn expression, and left over the wall as quickly as when he came.
Er Niang was baffled by his last look. Could it be that the little Seventh brother from the Yang family next door doesn't like dim sum?
That's right, Dad doesn't seem to like it, he thinks it's a bit sweet.
If I had known that he didn't like it, I wouldn't have changed it myself.
The second mother, who was used to living a hard life, felt sorry for the rather expensive pastry, but she had to count the money her father gave her to suppress the pain.
*****
The army that just fought with the people from southern Xinjiang came back yesterday. Many officers and soldiers were given vacations and were allowed to return to Lin'an to visit their families. The news quickly spread in Lin'an.
Normally, once encountering an enemy attack, all the soldiers will be on standby for the next few days to prevent the second and third raids, but the fight just started yesterday, why did they suddenly let people back today?
The military family members anxiously searched for their relations. It turned out that the team had won the most exhilarating battle in decades. It went straight into the depths of the dense forest and hit the old nests of the Black Witch and Luopo tribes. Even the pot is served.
Now the young and strong men of the two clans are basically all killed, and the only ones left are the elderly and children, and all of them are taken back to the camp as prisoners and locked up.
The other tribes in southern Xinjiang probably also got the news, and they were afraid of when Tang Dynasty's army would become so brave, and they didn't dare to mess around at this time.
Therefore, the winning team was allowed to take turns returning to the city to visit their families.
Upon hearing this news, the entire Lin'an City was shocked. In the past, the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang was very stalemate, and they had never won so thoroughly and so quickly.
It's not that no one has mentioned before that if you want to wipe out the tribes in southern Xinjiang, you must first shovel out the dense forest that can be said to be a natural barrier.
But that kind of project is too huge. Most of the dense forests are ancient trees with thousands of years old. The trunks of many big trees need to be hugged by two or three people, or even thicker. Soldiers, it may also take a day or two or more to chop.
Moreover, there are many strange poisonous insects and beasts in the dense forest. Soldiers are easily attacked when chopping trees and digging bushes, not to mention those areas densely covered with poisonous miasma. People who have not lived there since childhood will be killed if they get close. Gas infection.
Moreover, that kind of gas cannot be blocked by wearing a mask sewn with thick cloth strips. Once a group of soldiers strayed into a certain poisonous miasma area, their exposed skin swelled instantly, and the nose was no exception. A few soldiers who escaped by chance came out with a few corpses on their backs. After autopsy, it was found that the swollen skin and flesh blocked the breathing pipes, directly suffocating these soldiers who were seriously affected by the poisonous miasma.
This also adds another horror legend to the jungle.
Therefore, the plan to eradicate the dense forest was only carried out for a period of time, but it ended because of a large number of casualties of soldiers.
The imperial court and the people nearby seemed to have given up on the idea of completely eradicating southern Xinjiang. If they couldn't finish killing them, they should guard them. Anyway, it would be good not to let them cross the defense line of the Northwest Garrison.
And now, with the two examples of the Black Witch Clan and the Luo Po Clan, does it mean that it is not far from completely conquering Southern Xinjiang?
In fact, it was a pity that Tang Chao had no taste for this place in southern Xinjiang, because there was not much land suitable for planting. On the contrary, the poisonous insects and beasts living in that dense forest would cause trouble to the nearby people, and also Those people in southern Xinjiang who lived in a dark and humid environment since they were young are immune to miasma, and even take pleasure in raising poisonous insects and beasts, so they can adapt to such harsh conditions.
Even if Southern Xinjiang is conquered, no Tang Dynasty people would be willing to move there.
But who made them look down on the lice, but the lice kept trying to crawl on them to **** blood. If it weren't for the continuous provocations of the tribes in southern Xinjiang, the two places would be able to live in peace.
Now that there is a capable person who can lead everyone to win the southern border, even if they can't completely wipe out all the tribes, they can at least subdue them so that they will not dare to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
With such excitement, when Tian Su Aobai and others returned to the city, they were greeted by the common people.
Erniang was led by Liu Yinghua who got the news first, and they came to the street near the city gate together. Yang Qiwu and his brothers also followed, each of them was tall and burly, protecting his mother and the neighbor's family like guards. Little sister, no matter how crowded the people around her are, they can't press the corners of their clothes.
"I'm coming!"
"Hey, which Qianhu is this? I've never seen it before! With this physique, isn't killing those barbarians in southern Xinjiang the same as an eagle catching a chick?"
As the city gate opened and the victorious team progressed, the crowd instantly became agitated.
The most eye-catching one was the strongest man in the marching team, I saw him wearing armor of thousands of household specifications.
This person is Su Aobai. That’s right, he was promoted at the speed of light. Anyone who went to the battlefield with him, who would dare to steal his military exploits? Is it because I feel that my head is harder than those hundreds of people from Southern Xinjiang? Can his sternum withstand a kick from him?
To be honest, according to his contribution in the military exploits of destroying the Black Witch Clan and the Luo Po Clan, not to mention the Seventh Grade Thousand Households, he is qualified even for a few ranks.
The commander-in-chief already knew about him, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the key to completely conquering the tribes in southern Xinjiang lay in this man who had just joined the Northwest Army not long ago.
No one can replace his role, if you can't hold him down, you must be close to him.
In him, many people have seen a rising star.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Erniang jumped up and down to ride the horse for the first time, and now waved to the awkward father who was riding on the horse, but there were too many people and the noise was too loud, her father didn't seem to hear it.
"That's your father?"
Yang Qiwu approached Erniang and asked in a low voice, he saw the direction in which Erniang was waving.
Just now, he was drooling at that mighty and majestic man.
This is the physique that a real tough guy should have!
In Yang Qiwu's eyes, he couldn't see Su Aobai walking side by side, his own father whom he was proud of before. This time Yang Yong was also promoted. He has been in Baihu for several years, and his military exploits this time are enough for him to be promoted.
From a pariah to a thousand households, Yang Yong can also be described as a model of inspiration.
But Yang Qiwu didn't care about his father's promotion at all, he couldn't tolerate other men except Su Aobai in his eyes.
"This is my father!"
Er Niang changed her usual quietness and said loudly and proudly.
Yang Qiwu took a deep breath, and when he looked at Erniang again, his eyes became more intense.
He will definitely treat this sister very well!
It's so good that this younger sister often speaks well of him to her father. In this way, the uncle will definitely tell him how to cultivate such a majestic and mighty physique.
Yang Qiwu touched the ribs in front of his chest with a heroic expression.
He is a man who is going to become a general, he is sure to protect this little sister!
The author has something to say:
Er Niang: Do you like me?
Yang Qiwu: I like you...Dad!
